NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

Note 1: General

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2023 and for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are unaudited, but in the opinion of management include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2022 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in the United States ("U.S."). The results reported in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should not necessarily be taken as indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. The financial information included herein should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2022 ("2022 Form 10-K" or "Form 10-K").

Unless the context otherwise requires, references to "Otis," "we," "us," "our" and "the Company" refer to Otis Worldwide Corporation and its subsidiaries.

There have been no changes to the Company's significant accounting policies described in the Company's 2022 Form 10-K that have a material impact on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes. Certain amounts presented in the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, which are immaterial.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

We assessed certain accounting matters that generally require consideration of forecasted financial information in the context of the information reasonably available to us and the unknown future impacts of macroeconomic developments, including inflationary pressures, higher interest rates and tighter credit conditions, as of June 30, 2023 and through the date of this report. The accounting matters assessed included, but were not limited to, our allowance for credit losses, the carrying value of our goodwill and other long-lived assets, financial assets and revenue recognition. While there was not a material impact to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2023 and for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, resulting from our assessments of these matters, future assessment of our expectations of the magnitude and duration of these macroeconomic developments, as well as other factors, could result in material impacts to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in future reporting periods.

We also assessed certain accounting matters as they relate to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, including, but not limited to our allowance for credit losses, the carrying value of long-lived assets, revenue recognition and the classification of assets. There was not a material impact to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2023 and for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, resulting from our assessment of these matters. We continue to assess the impact on our results of operations, financial position and overall performance as the situation develops and any broader implications it may have on the global economy.

Supplier Finance Programs. On January 1, 2023, we adopted ASU No. 2022-04, Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Topic 450-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations that requires entities that use supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services to disclose the key terms of the programs and information about obligations outstanding at the end of the reporting period.

11

Table of Contents
Certain Otis subsidiaries participate in supplier finance programs, under which we agree to pay third-party financial institutions the stated amounts of confirmed invoices from suppliers on the original maturity dates of the invoices, while the participating suppliers generally have the ability to sell, or otherwise pledge as collateral, their receivables from the Company to the participating financial institutions. Our obligations to suppliers, including the amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by the suppliers' decisions to sell their receivables to the financial institutions, or otherwise pledge their receivables as collateral, under these arrangements. The Company is not a party to the arrangements between the suppliers and the financial institutions, and the Company's payment terms to the financial institutions, including the timing and amount of payments, are based on the original supplier invoices. Based on the applicable supplier agreements, the maturity dates of these supplier invoices can range between 30 and 105 days from the invoice date.

The outstanding obligations confirmed by the Company as valid to the financial institutions under our supplier finance programs were $577 million and $564 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. These obligations are included in Accounts payable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and all activity related to the obligations is presented within operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The Company or the finance institutions may terminate the agreements with advanced notice. Otis has pledged no assets in connection with its supplier finance programs.

Note 2: Earnings per Share

Earnings Per Share of Common Stock:
Basic$0.91$0.76$1.71$1.49
Diluted$0.90$0.76$1.70$1.48

The computation of diluted earnings per share excludes the effect of the potential exercise of stock awards, including stock appreciation rights and stock options, when the average market price of the Common Stock is lower than the exercise price of the related stock awards during the period because the effect would be anti-dilutive. In addition, the computation of diluted earnings per share excludes the effect of the potential exercise of stock awards when the awards' assumed proceeds exceed the average market price of the common shares during the period. There were 1.1 million and 2.7 million of anti-dilutive stock awards excluded from the computation for the quarters ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and 1.1 million and 2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Note 3: Revenue Recognition

We account for revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606: Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

Contract Assets and Liabilities. Contract assets reflect revenue recognized in advance of customer billing. Contract liabilities are recognized when a customer pays consideration, or we have a right to receive an amount of unconditional consideration, in advance of the satisfaction of performance obligations under the contract. We typically receive progress payments from our customers as we perform our work over time.

12

Table of Contents
Total Contract assets and Contract liabilities as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are as follows:

(dollars in millions)June 30, 2023December 31, 2022
Contract assets, current$735 $664 
Total contract assets735 664 
Contract liabilities, current2,889 2,662 
Contract liabilities, non-current (included within Other long-term liabilities)45 52 
Total contract liabilities 2,934 2,714 
Net contract liabilities$2,199 $2,050 

Contract assets increased by $71 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 as a result of the progression of current contracts and timing of billing on customer contracts. Contract liabilities increased by $220 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily due to contract billings in excess of revenue earned.

In the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we recognized revenue of $1.5 billion and $1.6 billion related to contract liabilities as of January 1, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Remaining Performance Obligations ("RPO"). RPO represents the aggregate amount of total contract transaction price that is unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied. As of June 30, 2023, our total RPO was $18.3 billion. Of the total RPO as of June 30, 2023, we expect approximately 90% will be recognized as sales over the following 24 months.

Note 4: Accounts Receivable, Net

Accounts receivable, net consisted of the following as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

Commercial Paper. As of June 30, 2023, there were $156 million in borrowings outstanding under the Company's $1.5 billion commercial paper programs, including €30 million of Euro denominated commercial paper. We use our commercial paper borrowings for general corporate purposes including to finance acquisitions, pay dividends, repurchase shares and for debt refinancing. The need for commercial paper borrowings may arise if the use of domestic cash for general corporate purposes exceeds the sum of domestic cash generation and foreign cash repatriated to the U.S.

Long-term debt. On March 10, 2023, the Company entered into a new credit agreement ("Credit Agreement") with various banks providing for a $1.5 billion unsecured, unsubordinated 5-year revolving credit facility, with an interest rate on US Dollar denominated borrowings at Otis' option of the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 0.10% or a base rate, and an interest rate on Euro denominated borrowings at Otis' option of the EURIBO rate or a daily simple Euro Short Term Rate ("ESTR"), plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin initially is 1.25% for Term SOFR rate, EURIBO rate and daily simple ESTR rate borrowings, and 0.25% for base rate borrowings, and can fluctuate determined by reference to Otis' public debt ratings, as specified in the Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2023, there were no borrowings under the Credit Agreement. The undrawn portion of the Credit Agreement serves as a backstop for the issuance of commercial paper. On March 10, 2023, we also terminated all commitments outstanding under the previous existing credit agreement, which was scheduled to expire on April 3, 2025.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company is in compliance with all covenants in the revolving credit agreement and the indentures governing all outstanding long-term debt. Long-term debt consisted of the following:

Stock-based Compensation. The Company adopted the 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan") effective April 3, 2020. As of June 30, 2023, approximately 23 million shares remain available for awards under the Plan.

Stock-based Compensation Expense

The Company measures the cost of all share-based payments, including stock options, at fair value on the grant date and recognizes this cost in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations over the award's applicable vesting period. A forfeiture rate assumption is applied on grant date to adjust the expense recognition for awards that are not expected to vest.

Note 9: Stock

Preferred Stock. There are 125 million shares of $0.01 par value Preferred Stock authorized, of which none were issued as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Common Stock. There are 2 billion shares of $0.01 par value Common Stock authorized. As of June 30, 2023, 436.7 million shares of Common Stock were issued, which includes 25.0 million shares of Treasury Stock. As of December 31, 2022, 435.6 million shares of Common Stock were issued, which included 20.8 million shares of Treasury Stock.

Treasury Stock. As of June 30, 2023, the Company was authorized by the Board of Directors to purchase up to $2.0 billion of Common Stock under a share repurchase program, of which approximately $1.7 billion was remaining at such time.

During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company repurchased 2.1 million and 4.2 million shares, respectively, for approximately $175 million and $350 million, respectively, compared to 2.7 million and 5.3 million shares in the same periods of 2022 for $200 million and $400 million, respectively. Beginning January 1, 2023, share repurchases in excess of issuance are subject to a 1% excise tax, which is included as part of the cost basis of the shares acquired in Treasury Stock on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2023.

The Company's share repurchase program does not obligate it to acquire any specific number of shares. Under this program, shares may be purchased in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, under accelerated share repurchase programs or under plans complying with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

Note 11: Income Taxes

The increase in the effective tax rate for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023, is primarily due to the absence of a tax reserve release related to a forward transfer pricing agreement with a European tax authority and the elimination of Base Erosion Anti Abuse Tax in the U.S., both recorded in the quarter ended June 30, 2022. This is partially offset by lower forecasted tax cost on repatriation in 2023.

Otis conducts business globally and, as a result, Otis or one or more of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the ordinary course of business, Otis could be subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including such major jurisdictions as Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Portugal, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. With a few exceptions, Otis is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations for years before 2010.

A subsidiary of Otis engaged in tax-related litigation in Belgium received a favorable appellate court decision in 2018. The Belgian Tax Authorities appealed the decision to the Court of Cassation (the equivalent of Supreme Court in Belgium). On December 4, 2020, the Court of Cassation overturned the decision of the appellate court and remanded the case to the appellate court for reconsideration. Following a hearing on March 20, 2023, the Antwerp Appellate Court ruled against the Company. Otis will complete its evaluation of whether to appeal the decision in the quarter ending September 30, 2023. The associated tax and interest have been fully reserved and are included in the range below.

In the ordinary course of business, there is inherent uncertainty in quantifying our income tax positions. We assess our income tax positions and record tax benefits for all years subject to examination based upon management’s evaluation of the facts, circumstances, and information available at the reporting date. The evaluation considers any additional worldwide uncertain tax positions, the closure of tax statutes or the re-valuation of current uncertain tax positions arising from the issuance of legislation, regulatory or other guidance or developments in examinations, in appeals, or in the courts. Based on the preceding factors, it is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months unrecognized tax benefits could change within the range of a $20 million increase to a $340 million decrease and associated interest could change within the range of a $5 million increase to a $145 million decrease.

See Note 16, “Contingent Liabilities” for discussion regarding uncertain tax positions, included in the above range, related to pending litigation with respect to certain deductions claimed in Germany.

Note 12: Restructuring Costs

We initiate restructuring actions to keep our cost structure competitive. Charges generally arise from severance related to workforce reductions, and to a lesser degree, facility exit and lease termination costs associated with the consolidation of office and manufacturing operations.

During the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we recorded restructuring costs for new and ongoing restructuring actions as follows:

Table of Contents
The restructuring expenses incurred during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, were primarily the result of restructuring programs initiated during 2023 and 2022. We are targeting to complete in 2023 the majority of remaining restructuring actions initiated in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023 and the full year 2022, with certain utilization beyond 2023 due to legal requirements in the applicable jurisdictions. Expected total costs for the restructuring actions initiated are $98 million, including $34 million to New Equipment and $64 million to Service operating segments, respectively. Remaining costs to incur for the restructuring actions initiated are expected to be $27 million, including $7 million to New Equipment and $20 million to Service operating segments, respectively.

The following table summarizes the accrual balance and utilization for restructuring actions, which are primarily for severance costs and most will require cash payment:

Note 13: Financial Instruments

We enter into derivative instruments primarily for risk management purposes, including derivatives designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. We operate internationally and, in the normal course of business, are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates, commodity prices and foreign exchange rates. These fluctuations can increase the costs of financing, investing in and operating the business. We may use derivative instruments, including swaps, forward contracts and options, to manage certain foreign currency, commodity price and interest rate exposures.

The four-quarter average of the notional amount of foreign exchange contracts hedging foreign currency transactions was $4.0 billion and $3.9 billion as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The four-quarter average of the notional amount of contracts hedging commodity purchases was $26 million and $20 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Derivatives designated as Cash flow hedging instruments. The amounts of gain or (loss) attributable to foreign exchange and commodity contract activity reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) were immaterial for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The effect of cash flow hedging relationships on Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are presented in the table below:

(dollars in millions)June 30, 2023December 31, 2022
Gain (loss) recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)$ $

The Company utilizes the critical terms match method in assessing firm commitment derivatives and regression testing in assessing commodity derivatives for hedge effectiveness. Accordingly, the hedged items and derivatives designated as hedging instruments are highly effective.

Assuming current market conditions continue, a pre-tax loss of $3 million is expected to be reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into Cost of products sold to reflect the fixed prices obtained from foreign exchange and commodity hedging within the next 12 months. All derivative contracts accounted for as cash flow hedges as of June 30, 2023 will mature by February 2027.

Net Investment Hedges. We have foreign-denominated long-term debt and foreign exchange forward contracts that qualify as net investment hedges. Changes in the value of these net investment hedges due to foreign currency gains or losses are deferred as foreign currency translation adjustments in Other comprehensive income (loss) on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, and will remain in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged investment is sold or substantially liquidated. We evaluate the effectiveness of the net investment hedges each quarter.

Table of Contents

We have ¥21.5 billion of Japanese Yen denominated long-term debt, which qualifies as a net investment hedge against our investments in Japanese businesses. As of June 30, 2023, the net investment hedge is deemed to be effective. During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized gains of $12 million and $13 million, respectively, compared to gains of $18 million and $30 million, respectively, in the same periods of 2022, associated with this net investment hedge in Other comprehensive income (loss).

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we had a notional amount of a foreign exchange forward contract of €95 million, which qualified as a net investment hedge against our investments in certain European businesses. This derivative instrument matured during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 and the net investment hedge was deemed to be effective until maturity. During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized a loss of less than $1 million and a gain of $1 million, respectively, associated with this net investment hedge in Other comprehensive income (loss).

Derivatives not designated as Cash flow hedging instruments. The net effect of derivatives not designated as Cash flow hedging instruments within Other income (expense) net, on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations was as follows:

The effects of derivatives not designated as Cash flow hedge instruments within Cost of products sold on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations were losses of $10 million and $8 million in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to losses of $4 million and $7 million in the same periods of 2022, respectively.

Note 14: Fair Value Measurements

Valuation Techniques. Our marketable securities include investments that are traded in active markets, either domestically or internationally, and are measured at fair value using closing stock prices from active markets. The fair value gains or losses related to our marketable securities are recorded through net income. Our derivative assets and liabilities include foreign exchange and commodity contracts that are measured at fair value using internal models based on observable market inputs such as forward rates, interest rates, our own credit risk and our counterparties' credit risks.

As of June 30, 2023, there has not been any significant impact to the fair value of our derivative liabilities due to our own credit risk. Similarly, there has not been any significant adverse impact to our derivative assets based on our evaluation of our counterparties' credit risks.

The fair values of the current portion of the Company's financial instruments that are not carried at fair value approximated their carrying values because of the short-term nature of the current portion. The fair value of receivables, including customer financing notes receivable, net, that were issued long-term are based on the discounted values of their related cash flows at interest rates reflecting the attributes of the counterparties, including geographic location. Customer-specific risk, including credit risk, is already considered in the carrying value of those receivables. Our notes, as described in Note 7, "Borrowings and Lines of Credit," are measured at fair value using closing bond prices from active markets.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 820: Fair Value Measurements, the following tables provide the valuation hierarchy classification of assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value and measured on a recurring and non-recurring basis in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

The Company provides certain financial guarantees to third parties. As of June 30, 2023, Otis has stand-by letters of credit with maximum potential payment totaling $131 million. We accrue costs associated with guarantees when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The most likely cost to be incurred is accrued based on an evaluation of currently available facts, and where no amount within a range of estimates is more likely, the minimum is accrued. In accordance with ASC Topic 460: Guarantees, we record these liabilities at fair value. As of June 30, 2023, Otis has determined there are no estimated costs probable under these guarantees.

Note 16: Contingent Liabilities

Except as otherwise noted, while we are unable to predict the final outcome, based on information currently available, we do not believe that resolution of any of the following matters will have a material adverse effect upon our competitive position, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. In addition to the specific amounts noted below, where we have recorded loss contingency accruals for the below and other matters, the amounts in aggregate are not material. Legal costs generally are expensed when incurred.

Environmental. As previously disclosed, the Company's operations are subject to environmental regulation by authorities with jurisdiction over its operations. The Company has accrued for the costs of environmental remediation activities, including, but not limited to, investigatory, remediation, operating and maintenance costs and performance guarantees, and periodically reassesses these amounts. Management believes that the likelihood of incurring losses materially in excess of amounts accrued is remote. The outstanding liability for environmental obligations was $5 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and is principally included in Other long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Legal Proceedings.

German Tax Litigation

As previously disclosed, we have been involved in administrative review proceedings with the German Tax Office, which concern approximately €215 million (approximately $235 million as of June 30, 2023) of tax benefits that we have claimed related to a 1998 reorganization of the corporate structure of our operations in Germany. Upon audit, these tax benefits were disallowed by the German Tax Office. We estimate interest associated with the aforementioned tax benefits is an additional approximately €118 million (approximately $129 million as of June 30, 2023).

In August 2012, a suit was filed in the local German Tax Court (Berlin-Brandenburg). In 2015, our former parent United Technologies Corporation ("UTC"), now RTX Corporation ("RTX"), made tax and interest payments to German tax authorities of €275 million (approximately $300 million) in order to avoid additional interest accruals pending final resolution of this matter. In March 2016, the local German Tax Court dismissed the suit, and we appealed this decision to the German Federal Tax Court. Following a hearing in July 2018, the German Federal Tax Court remanded the matter to the local German Tax Court for further proceedings. In December 2020, the local German Tax Court ruled against the Company.

Table of Contents
On January 26, 2021, the Company filed an appeal with the German Federal Tax Court. On February 8, 2022, the Company received the decision of the German Federal Tax Court, in which the Court remanded the case for reconsideration by the local German Tax Court. The local German Tax Court held a hearing on June 12, 2023, and issued a decision on July 21, 2023, in favor of Otis. Because the decision may be appealed within 30 days from receipt by the German Tax Office, the Company cannot assess the ultimate outcome of this matter.

Pursuant to the Tax Matters Agreement ("TMA") with our former parent, UTC, the Company retains the liability associated with the remaining interest, and has recorded an interest accrual of €45 million (approximately $49 million as of June 30, 2023), net of payments and other deductions, included within Accrued liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2023. If the Company prevails in this matter, any recoveries would be allocated between RTX and the Company pursuant to the terms of the TMA.

Asbestos Matters

As previously disclosed, we have been named as defendants in lawsuits alleging personal injury as a result of exposure to asbestos. While we have never manufactured any asbestos-containing component parts, and no longer incorporate asbestos in any current products, certain of our historical products have contained components manufactured by third parties incorporating asbestos. A substantial majority of these asbestos-related claims have been dismissed without payment or were covered in full or in part by insurance or other forms of indemnity. Additional cases were litigated and settled without any insurance reimbursement. The amounts involved in asbestos-related claims were not material individually or in the aggregate as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

The estimated range of total liabilities to resolve all pending and unasserted potential future asbestos claims through 2059 is approximately $21 million to $43 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Because no amount within the range of estimates is more likely to occur than any other, we have recorded the minimum amount of $21 million, which is principally recorded in Other long-term liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Amounts are on a pre-tax basis, not discounted, and exclude the Company's legal fees to defend the asbestos claims (which will continue to be expensed as they are incurred). In addition, the Company has an insurance recovery receivable for probable asbestos-related recoveries of approximately $5 million, which is principally included in Other assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Putative Class Action Lawsuit

On August 12, 2020, a putative class action lawsuit, (Geraud Darnis et al. v. Raytheon Technologies Corporation et al.), was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut (the "Court") against Otis, RTX, Carrier Global Corporation ("Carrier"), each of their directors, and various incentive and deferred compensation plans in connection with the separation of Otis and Carrier from UTC (the "Separation") in April 2020. On September 13, 2021, plaintiffs filed an amended complaint against the three company defendants only. The named plaintiffs are former employees of UTC and its current and former subsidiaries, including Otis and Carrier. They seek to recover monetary damages, as well as related declaratory and equitable relief, based on claimed decreases in the value of long-term incentive awards and deferred compensation under nonqualified deferred compensation plans allegedly caused by the formula used to calculate the adjustments to such awards and deferred compensation from RTX, Carrier, and Otis following the spin-offs of Carrier and Otis and the subsequent combination of UTC and Raytheon Company. On September 30, 2022, in response to motions to dismiss filed by the defendants, the Court dismissed the class action in its entirety with prejudice. The plaintiffs appealed the decision on October 26, 2022. At this time, we do not believe this action will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial conditions, cash flows or results of operations.

Other. As previously disclosed, we have commitments and contingent liabilities related to legal proceedings, self-insurance programs and matters arising out of the normal course of business. We accrue contingencies based on a range of possible outcomes. If no amount within this range is a better estimate than any other, we accrue the minimum amount. While it is not possible to determine the ultimate disposition of each of these claims and whether they will be resolved consistent with our beliefs, we expect that the outcome of such claims, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations.

Table of Contents
As previously disclosed, in certain European countries, claims for overcharges on elevators and escalators related to civil cartel cases have been made, which we have accrued for based on our evaluation of the claims. While it is not possible to determine the ultimate disposition of each of these claims and whether they will be resolved consistent with our beliefs, historical settlement experience of these cases has not been material to the business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operations, however the future outcome of these cases cannot be determined.

As previously disclosed, in the ordinary course of business, the Company is also routinely a defendant in, party to or otherwise subject to many pending and threatened legal actions, claims, disputes and proceedings. These matters are often based on alleged violations of contract, product liability, warranty, regulatory, environmental, health and safety, employment, intellectual property, tax and other laws. In some of these proceedings, claims for substantial monetary damages are asserted against the Company and its subsidiaries and could result in fines, penalties, compensatory or treble damages or non-monetary relief. We do not believe that these matters will have a material adverse effect upon our competitive position, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

Note 17: Segment Financial Data

Our operations are classified into two operating segments: New Equipment and Service. Through the New Equipment segment, we design, manufacture, sell and install a wide range of passenger and freight elevators as well as escalators and moving walkways to customers in the residential and commercial building and infrastructure projects. The Service segment provides maintenance and repair services for both our products and those of other manufacturers, and provides modernization services to upgrade elevators and escalators. The operating segments are generally based on the management structure of the Company, how management allocates resources, assesses performance and makes strategic and operational decisions.

Note 18: Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers. This ASU clarifies that an acquirer of a business should recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early application permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2021-08 effective January 1, 2023. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-04, Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Topic 450-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations that requires entities that use supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services to disclose the key terms of the programs and information about obligations outstanding at the end of the reporting period, including a rollforward of those obligations. The guidance does not affect the recognition, measurement or financial statement presentation of supplier finance program obligations. ASU 2022-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, except for the disclosure of rollforward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company adopted ASU 2022-04 effective January 1, 2023. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as disclosed in Note 1, "General."

Future Accounting Pronouncements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting ("ASU 2020-04"), which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. Additionally, in December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 ("ASU 2022-06"), which allows ASU 2020-04 to be adopted and applied prospectively to contract modifications made on or before December 31, 2024. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other new accounting pronouncements issued but not effective until after June 30, 2023 did not and are not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Otis Worldwide Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2023, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income, and of changes in equity for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 and of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “interim financial information”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 3, 2023, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Basis for Review Results

This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Business Summary

We are the world’s leading elevator and escalator manufacturing, installation and service company. Our Company is organized into two segments, New Equipment and Service. Through our New Equipment segment, we design, manufacture, sell and install a wide range of passenger and freight elevators, as well as escalators and moving walkways for residential and commercial buildings and infrastructure projects. Our New Equipment customers include real-estate and building developers and general contractors who develop and/or design buildings for residential, commercial, retail or mixed-use activity. We sell our New Equipment directly to customers, as well as through agents and distributors.

Through our Service segment, we perform maintenance and repair services for both our own products and those of other manufacturers and provide modernization services to upgrade elevators and escalators. Maintenance services include inspections to ensure code compliance, preventive maintenance offerings and other customized maintenance offerings tailored to meet customer needs, as well as repair services to address equipment and component wear and tear and breakdowns. Modernization services enhance equipment operation and improve building functionality. Modernization offerings can range from relatively simple upgrades of interior finishes and aesthetics to complex upgrades of larger components and sub-systems. Our typical Service customers include building owners, facility managers, housing associations and government agencies that operate buildings where elevators and escalators are installed.

We serve our customers through a global network of employees. These include sales personnel, field technicians with separate skills in performing installation and service, as well as engineers driving our continued product development and innovation. We function under a centralized operating model whereby a global strategy is set around New Equipment and Service because we seek to grow our maintenance portfolio, in part, through the conversion of new elevator and escalator installations into service contracts. Accordingly, we benefit from an integrated global strategy, which sets priorities and establishes accountability across the full product lifecycle.

The current status of significant factors affecting our business environment in 2023 is discussed below. For additional discussion, refer to the "Business Overview" section in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2022 Form 10-K.

Recent Developments

Impact of Macroeconomic Developments on Our Company

Macroeconomic developments have impacted, and continue to impact, aspects of the Company's operations and overall financial performance during the quarters and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. These macroeconomic developments include, among others, inflationary pressures, higher interest rates and tighter credit conditions. These macroeconomic trends could continue to impact our business, including impacts to overall financial performance during the remainder of 2023, as a result of the following, among other things:

Supplier liquidity, as well as supplier and raw material capacity constraints, delays and related costs;
Customer demand impacting our new equipment, maintenance and repair, and modernization businesses;
Customer liquidity constraints and related credit reserves; and
Cancellations or delays of customer orders.

We currently do not expect any significant impact to our capital and financial resources from these macroeconomic developments, including to our overall liquidity position based on our available cash and cash equivalents and our access to credit facilities and the capital markets.

See the "Liquidity and Financial Condition" section in this Form 10-Q for further detail and Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our 2022 Form 10-K for additional risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including macroeconomic risks associated therewith, and global economic, capital market and political conditions in general, and conditions in the construction and infrastructure industries in particular.

Risks associated with the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine

The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has resulted in worldwide geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty, including volatile commodity markets, foreign exchange fluctuations, supply chain disruptions, increased risk of cyber incidents, reputational risk, increased operating costs (including fuel and other input costs), environmental, health and safety risks related to securing and maintaining facilities, additional sanctions and other regulations (including restrictions on the transfer of funds to and from Russia).

To the extent possible, we continue to operate our business in Ukraine, which represented less than 1% of our full year 2022 and six months ended June 30, 2023 revenue and operating profit. As previously disclosed, we sold our business in Russia to a third party on July 27, 2022, which represented approximately 1% of both our revenue and operating profit in 2022.

We cannot predict how the conflict will evolve. If the conflict continues for a significant time or expands to other countries, it could heighten certain risks disclosed in Item 1A "Risk Factors" in our 2022 Form 10-K, including but not limited to, adverse effects on macroeconomic conditions, including increased inflation, constraints on the availability of commodities, supply chain disruption and decreased business spending; cyber-incidents; disruptions to our or our business partners’ global technology infrastructure, including through cyber-attack or cyber-intrusion; adverse changes in international trade policies and relations; claims, litigation and regulatory enforcement; our ability to implement and execute our business strategy; terrorist activities; our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations; reputational risk; and constraints, volatility, or disruption in the capital markets, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG")

There have been no, and we do not expect there to be in the near term, material impacts on our business, financial condition or results of operations as a result of compliance with legislation or regulatory rules regarding climate change, from the known physical effects of climate change or as a result of implementing our ESG initiatives. Increased regulation (including pending SEC and European Union requirements) and other climate change concerns, however, could subject us to additional costs and restrictions, and we are not able to predict how such regulations or concerns would affect our business, operations or financial results.

For additional discussion of Otis’ ESG goals, see the discussion under “Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”)” in Item 1 in our 2022 Form 10-K.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The accounting policies that involve the most significant estimates, assumptions and management judgments used in preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, or are the most sensitive to change due to outside factors, are discussed in the section entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Estimates" included in our 2022 Form 10-K. Except as disclosed in Note 18 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q, pertaining to adoption of new accounting pronouncements, there have been no material changes in these policies.

Acquisitions and divestitures, net(0.7)%(1.0)%
Total % change6.7 %2.4 %

The Organic volume increase of 9.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 was driven by an increase in organic sales of 9.5% in New Equipment and 9.4% in Service. The Organic volume increase of 6.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was driven by an increase in organic sales of 7.9% in Service and 4.9% in New Equipment.

The decrease in Net sales due to Acquisitions and divestitures, net is primarily the result of the sale of our Russia business in the third quarter of 2022.

See the "Segment Review" section for a discussion of Net sales by segment.

Total % change5.3 %1.5 %

The organic increase in Total cost of products and services sold for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily driven by the organic sales increases noted above. Inflationary pressures, including annual wage increases and higher Service related material costs were mitigated by productivity and lower commodity prices, primarily steel.

The decrease in Total cost of products and services sold due to Acquisitions and divestitures, net is primarily the result of the sale of our Russia business in the third quarter of 2022.

Gross margin percentage increased 90 and 60 basis points for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively when compared to the same periods for 2022, due to the benefit from Service sales growing faster than New Equipment sales, favorable pricing, lower commodity prices, and the benefits from productivity, partially offset by the inflationary pressures described above.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $40 million and $36 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, when compared to the same periods in 2022, driven by annual wage increases and higher other employment related costs, partially offset by cost containment actions, lower restructuring costs, as well as the favorable foreign exchange impacts of $5 million and $19 million, respectively. The quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, was also impacted by higher credit loss reserves.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of Net sales increased 30 basis points and 20 basis points for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022.

Restructuring Costs
 Six Months Ended June 30,
(dollars in millions)20232022
Restructuring costs$15$39

We initiate restructuring actions to keep our cost structure competitive. Charges generally arise from severance related to workforce reductions, and to a lesser degree, facility exit and lease termination costs associated with the consolidation of office and manufacturing operations. We continue to closely monitor the economic environment and may undertake further restructuring actions to keep our cost structure aligned with the demands of the prevailing market conditions.

Total restructuring costs were $15 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and included $13 million of costs related to 2023 actions and $2 million of costs related to 2022 actions.

Most of the expected charges will require cash payments, which we have funded and expect to continue to fund with cash generated from operations.

We generally expect to achieve annual recurring savings within the two-year period subsequent to initiating the actions, including $16 million for the 2023 actions and $67 million for the 2022 actions, of which approximately $33 million was realized for the 2023 and 2022 actions during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

The change in Other Income (Expense), Net, of $31 million and $22 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022, was primarily driven by the absence of the impairment of our Russia investment of $(18) million and the absence of unfavorable foreign currency mark-to-market adjustments related to our Russia business during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Interest Expense (Income), Net was relatively flat in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022.

The average interest rate on our long-term debt for each of the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was 2.0%. For additional discussion of borrowings, see Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Effective tax rate24.9 %22.8 %25.7 %25.4 %

The increase in the effective tax rate for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023, is primarily due to the absence of a tax reserve release related to a forward transfer pricing agreement with a European tax authority and the elimination of Base Erosion Anti Abuse Tax in the U.S., both recorded in the quarter ended June 30, 2022. This is partially offset by lower forecasted tax cost on repatriation in 2023.

We anticipate some variability in the tax rate quarter to quarter from potential discrete items.

For additional discussion of income taxes and the effective income tax rate, see Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries' earnings$31$27$52$69
Net income attributable to Otis Worldwide Corporation$376$321$707$632

Noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries' earnings were $4 million higher for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022 primarily driven by an increase in net income from non-wholly owned subsidiaries.

Noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries' earnings were $(17) million lower for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to Otis' increased ownership in Otis Mobility (formerly Zardoya Otis) starting in the second quarter of 2022. For details on the results of the Tender Offer and purchases of shares of Otis Mobility not previously owned by the Company, see Note 1 of the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2022 Form 10-K.

Net income attributable to Otis Worldwide Corporation increased for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, due to higher operating profit (including the impact of foreign exchange rates), partially offset by a higher effective tax rate.

Net sales

The organic sales increase of 9.5% was driven by low-teens organic sales growth in Asia and high-single digit organic sales growth in EMEA and Americas.

The decrease in Net sales due to Acquisitions and divestitures, net and other is primarily the result of the sale of our Russia business in the third quarter of 2022.

We manage our worldwide cash requirements by reviewing available funds among the many subsidiaries through which we conduct our business and the cost-effectiveness with which those funds can be accessed. On occasion, we are required to maintain cash deposits with certain banks with respect to contractual obligations related to acquisitions and divestitures or other legal obligations. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the amount of such restricted cash was approximately $8 million and $6 million, respectively.

From time-to-time we may need to access the capital markets to obtain financing. We may incur indebtedness or issue equity as needed. Although we believe that the arrangements in place as of June 30, 2023 permit us to finance our operations on acceptable terms and conditions, our access to, and the availability of, financing on acceptable terms and conditions in the future could be impacted by many factors, including (1) our credit ratings or absence of a credit rating, (2) the liquidity of the overall capital markets and (3) the current state of the economy, including tighter credit conditions. There can be no assurance that we will continue to have access to the capital markets on terms acceptable to us.

As of June 30, 2023, we had a revolving credit agreement with various banks providing for a $1.5 billion unsecured, unsubordinated 5-year revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2023, there were no borrowings under the revolving credit agreement. The undrawn portion of the revolving credit agreement serves as a backstop for the issuance of commercial paper.

There were no long-term debt issuances for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The Company redeemed the $500 million floating notes originally due in 2023 during the six months ended June 30, 2022. For additional discussion of borrowings, see Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company does not intend to reinvest certain undistributed earnings of our international subsidiaries that have been previously taxed in the U.S. For the remainder of the Company’s undistributed international earnings, unless tax effective to repatriate, we will continue to permanently reinvest these earnings.

We expect to fund our ongoing operating, investing and financing requirements mainly through cash flows from operations, available liquidity through cash on hand and available bank lines of credit and access to capital markets.

On December 1, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program for up to $2.0 billion of Common Stock, of which $350 million had been utilized as of June 30, 2023. Under this program, shares may be purchased on the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, under accelerated share repurchase programs or under plans complying with rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Cash Flows

The following table reflects the major categories of cash flows. For additional details, see the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Effect of foreign exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents(16)(122)
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash$32 $(2,212)

Operating activities

Cash flows from operating activities primarily represent inflows and outflows associated with our operations. Primary activities include net income from operations adjusted for non-cash transactions, working capital changes and changes in other assets and liabilities. The year-over-year decrease in net cash provided by operating activities was primarily driven by working capital balances during the periods, including a larger increase in Accounts receivable, net in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, due to the timing of billings, as well as a smaller increase in Accounts payable in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, due to the timing of payments to suppliers and higher balances due as of December 31, 2022 compared to December 31, 2021. These were partially offset by lower income tax payments in the six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, net cash provided by operating activities was $724 million. The primary driver of the inflow related to $759 million of net income and changes in Contract assets, current and Contract liabilities, current, net, due to the timing of billings on contracts compared to the progression on current contracts. These were partially offset by an increase in Accounts receivable, net, due to the timing of billings.

Table of Contents

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash provided by operating activities was $857 million. The primary driver of the inflow related to $701 million of net income, an increase in Accounts payable due to the timing of payments to suppliers and changes in Contract assets, current and Contract liabilities, current, net, due to the timing of billings on contracts compared to the progression on current contracts. These were partially offset by a decrease in Accrued liabilities due to the timing of payments of employee-related benefits, income taxes and other accruals, an increase in Accounts receivable, net, due to the timing of billings and an increase in Inventories due to the impact of higher production inventory levels related to the timing of deliveries to construction sites.

Investing activities

Cash flows from investing activities primarily represent inflows and outflows associated with long-term assets, including capital expenditures, investments in businesses and securities, proceeds from the sale of fixed assets and the settlement of derivative contracts. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, net cash used in investing activities was $91 million. The primary driver of the outflow related to $62 million of capital expenditures, $20 million of acquisitions of businesses and intangible assets and $13 million of net cash payments from the settlement of derivative instruments. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash used in investing activities was $10 million. The primary driver of the outflow related to $57 million of capital expenditures, $28 million of acquisitions of businesses and intangible assets and $7 million investments in marketable securities, partially offset by $78 million of net cash receipts from the settlement of derivative instruments.

As discussed in Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we enter into derivative instruments for risk management purposes. We operate internationally and, in the normal course of business, are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. These fluctuations can increase the costs of financing, investing and operating the business. We use derivative instruments, including forward contracts and options to manage certain foreign currency and commodity price exposures.

Financing activities

Cash flows from financing activities primarily represent inflows and outflows associated with equity and borrowings. Primary activities include short-term and long-term borrowing activity, paying dividends to shareholders, the repurchase of our Common Stock and dividends or other payments to noncontrolling interests. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, net cash used in financing activities was $585 million. The primary drivers of the outflow were the repurchases of our Common Stock of $350 million and dividends paid on our Common Stock of $261 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, net cash used in financing activities was $2.9 billion. The primary drivers of the outflow were the settlement in cash of the tender offer for shares of Zardoya Otis not previously owned (the "Tender Offer") for $1.8 billion, repayments of long-term debt of $500 million, repurchases of our Common Stock of $400 million and dividends paid on our Common Stock of $224 million.

For additional discussion of the Tender Offer, see Note 1 of the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2022 Form 10-K. For additional discussion of borrowings activity, see Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Guaranteed Securities: Summarized Financial Information

The following information is provided in compliance with Rule 13-01 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with respect to the 2023 Euro Notes, the 2026 Euro Notes and the 2031 Euro Notes (together the "Euro Notes"), in each case issued by Highland Holdings S.à r.l. (“Highland”), a private limited liability company (société à responsabilité limitée) incorporated and existing under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg ("Luxembourg"). The Euro Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Otis Worldwide Corporation ("OWC") on an unsecured, unsubordinated basis. Refer to "Note 10: Borrowings and Lines of Credit" in Item 8 in our 2022 Form 10-K, for additional information.

Highland is a wholly-owned, indirect consolidated subsidiary of OWC. OWC is incorporated under the laws of Delaware. As a company incorporated and existing under the laws of Luxembourg, and with its registered office in Luxembourg, Highland is subject to Luxembourg insolvency and bankruptcy laws in the event any insolvency proceedings are initiated against it. Luxembourg bankruptcy law is significantly different from, and may be less favorable to creditors than, the bankruptcy law in effect in the United States and may make it more difficult for creditors to recover the amount they could expect to recover in liquidation under U.S. insolvency and bankruptcy rules.

The Euro Notes are not guaranteed by any of OWC's or Highland's subsidiaries (all OWC subsidiaries other than Highland are referred to herein as "non-guarantor subsidiaries"). Holders of the Euro Notes will have a direct claim only against Highland, as issuer, and OWC, as guarantor.

The following tables set forth the summarized financial information as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and as of December 31, 2022 of each of OWC and Highland on a standalone basis, which does not include the consolidated impact of the assets, liabilities, and financial results of their subsidiaries except as noted on the tables below, nor does it include any impact of intercompany eliminations as there were no intercompany transactions between OWC and Highland. This summarized financial information is not intended to present the financial position or results of operations of OWC or Highland in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

Item 5 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our 2022 Form 10-K discloses our off-balance sheet arrangements and contractual obligations. As of June 30, 2023, there have been no material changes to these off-balance sheet arrangements and contractual obligations, outside the ordinary course of business except for those disclosed in "Note 7, Borrowings and Lines of Credit" within Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There have been no material changes to the Company’s market risk during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2023. For a discussion of the Company’s exposure to market risk, refer to the Company’s market risk disclosures set forth in Item 7A "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in our 2022 Form 10-K.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the President and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") and the Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer ("CAO"), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2023. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon our evaluation, our CEO, our CFO and our CAO have concluded that, as of June 30, 2023, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO, our CFO and our CAO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
