Otis delivers high single digit Service net sales growth and low single digit New Equipment net sales growth; Service operating profit margin improved sequentially; broadly maintaining full year outlook
Third quarter 2026
Year-to-date 2026
FARMINGTON, Conn., Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Otis Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: OTIS) reported third quarter 2026 net sales of $3.9 billion with organic sales up 6% versus the prior year. GAAP earnings per share (EPS) increased 14% to $1.08 and adjusted EPS of $1.05 was flat compared to the prior year.
"Otis delivered another quarter of strong top-line growth, supported by sustained performance across all Service lines and growth in New Equipment. Our investments in field capability and AI-enabled pricing, combined with disciplined execution, continue to support double digit modernization growth and high single digit repair growth. Alongside our focus on service quality, reliability, uptime, and cost control, these actions drove the incremental increase in Service margin to above 24%," said Chair, CEO & President Judy Marks. "The third quarter Service revenue growth and sequential margin improvement continue to reinforce our Service flywheel strategy and give us confidence in the steps we are taking to build a stronger foundation for sustained growth."

Third quarter GAAP operating profit of $620 million increased $34 million driven primarily by the absence of UpLift transformation costs, separation-related adjustments, and other non-recurring items in the prior year. Adjusted operating profit of $626 million decreased $6 million at actual currency and $3 million at constant currency, with the benefits from growth in Service more than offset by a decline in New Equipment. GAAP operating profit margin contracted 10 basis points to 15.8% and adjusted operating profit margin of 16.0% declined 110 basis points versus the prior year driven by unfavorable segment performance, partially offset by segment mix. While the performance was impacted by ongoing investment in key Service growth initiatives, Service operating profit margin improved sequentially by 100 bps.
GAAP EPS of $1.08 increased 14% compared to the prior year primarily driven by the absence of UpLift transformation costs, separation-related adjustments, and other non-recurring items in the prior year. Adjusted EPS of $1.05 was flat versus the prior year with the benefits from lower share count and minority interest offset by a higher tax rate, higher interest, and unfavorable FX rates.

Segment operating profit of $633 million increased $12 million at actual currency and increased $20 million at constant currency as higher volume, favorable pricing and other employment related cost reductions were partially offset by higher labor cost including the impact of ongoing strategic initiatives and productivity, and unfavorable mix. Segment operating profit margin contracted 130 basis points to 24.2%, but improved 100 bps sequentially.
New Equipment

(CFX)
Segment operating profit of $42 million decreased $17 million at actual currency and $22 million at constant currency primarily from unfavorable price and mix, partially offset by productivity and higher volume. Segment operating profit margin contracted 150 basis points to 3.2%.
New Equipment orders were up 1% at constant currency with low teens growth in the Americas, and low single digit growth in both EMEA and Asia Pacific, partially offset by low teens decline in China. New Equipment backlog increased 4% at actual currency and constant currency.
Cash flow
Third quarter cash flow changes were driven by an increase in net income offset by changes in working capital.

1 Note: When we provide outlook for organic sales, adjusted operating profit, adjusted EPS, adjusted effective tax rate and adjusted free cash flow on a forward-looking basis, a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP expectations and the corresponding GAAP measures generally is not available without unreasonable effort. See "Use and Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for additional information.

Use and Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Otis Worldwide Corporation ("Otis") reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under GAAP with certain non-GAAP financial information. The non-GAAP information presented provides investors with additional useful information, but should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for the related GAAP measures. Moreover, other companies may define non-GAAP measures differently, which limits the usefulness of these measures for comparisons with such other companies. We encourage investors to review our financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures (referenced in this press release) to the corresponding amounts prepared in accordance with GAAP appears in the attached tables. These tables provide additional information as to the items and amounts that have been excluded from the adjusted measures. Below are our non-GAAP financial measures:
administrative ("SG&A") expense
Management believes that organic sales, adjusted SG&A expense, adjusted operating profit, adjusted net interest expense, adjusted noncontrolling interest in earnings, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS and the adjusted effective tax rate are useful measures in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of the Company's ongoing operational performance.
When we provide our expectations for adjusted net sales, organic sales, adjusted operating profit, adjusted net interest expense, adjusted noncontrolling interest in earnings, adjusted net income, adjusted effective tax rate, adjusted EPS, free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow on a forward-looking basis, a reconciliation of the differences between the non-GAAP expectations and the corresponding GAAP measures (expected diluted EPS from continuing operations, operating profit, the effective tax rate, net sales and expected cash flow from operations) generally is not available without unreasonable effort due to potentially high variability, complexity and low visibility as to the items that would be excluded from the GAAP measure in the relevant future period, such as unusual gains and losses, the ultimate outcome of pending litigation, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the impact and timing of potential acquisitions and divestitures, and other structural changes or their probable significance. The variability of the excluded items may have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP results.
