NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at September 30, 2021 and for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 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 at December 31, 2020 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 to Shareholders ("2020 Annual Report") incorporated by reference in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2020 ("2020 Form 10-K" or "Form 10-K").

Note 1: Description of Business and Separation from United Technologies Corporation

Otis (as defined below) is the world’s leading elevator and escalator manufacturing, installation and service company. Our operations are classified into 2 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, for 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.

On September 23, 2021, the Company announced a tender offer to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Zardoya Otis, S.A. ("Zardoya Otis") not owned by the Company at a price of €7.00 per share in cash (the "Tender Offer"), and its intention to delist the shares of Zardoya Otis from the Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao and Valencia stock exchanges subsequent to the Tender Offer. The price per share to be paid in the Tender Offer was adjusted to €6.93 as a result of the dividend paid by Zardoya Otis on October 11, 2021. The Tender Offer is subject to approval by the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (the "CNMV"), which is responsible for the regulation of Spanish securities markets. The value of the issued and outstanding shares of Zardoya Otis not owned by the Company is €1.63 billion based on the tender price of €6.93 after the adjustment for dividends paid on October 11, 2021. The Company owned a controlling interest and had operational control of Zardoya Otis as of and for the periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and therefore its financial results are included in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. As of September 30, 2021, the Company owned 50.02% of Zardoya Otis. See Note 9, "Borrowings and Lines of Credit" and Note 17, "Guarantees" for additional information regarding financing and guarantee agreements entered into by the Company in connection with the Tender Offer.

On November 26, 2018, United Technologies Corporation, subsequently renamed to Raytheon Technologies Corporation on April 3, 2020 ("UTC" or "RTX", as applicable), announced its intention to spin-off its Otis reportable segment and its Carrier reportable segment into two separate publicly-traded companies (the "Separation"). On April 3, 2020, the Company became an independent publicly-traded company through a pro-rata distribution of 0.5 shares of Common Stock for every share of UTC common stock held at the close of business on the record date of March 19, 2020 (the "Distribution"). Otis began to trade as a separate public company (New York Stock Exchange: OTIS) on April 3, 2020.

Unless the context otherwise requires, references to "Otis", "we", "us", "our" and "the Company" refer to (i) Otis Worldwide Corporation's business prior to the Separation and (ii) Otis Worldwide Corporation and its subsidiaries following the Separation, as applicable. References to "UTC" relate to pre-Separation matters, and references to "RTX" relate to post-Separation matters.

The Separation was completed pursuant to a Separation and Distribution Agreement (the "Separation Agreement") and other agreements with our former parent, UTC, related to the Separation, including but not limited to a transition services agreement (the "Transition Service Agreement" or "TSA"), a tax matters agreement (the "Tax Matters Agreement" or "TMA"), an employee matters agreement (the "Employee Matters Agreement" or "EMA") and an intellectual property agreement (the "Intellectual Property Agreement"). For further discussion on these agreements, see Note 5, "Related Parties".

Table of Contents

Note 2: Basis of Presentation

Prior to the Separation on April 3, 2020, our historical financial statements were prepared on a standalone combined basis and were derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of our former parent, UTC. For the period subsequent to April 3, 2020, our financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis as the Company became a standalone public company (collectively, the financial statements for all periods presented, including the historical results of the Company prior to April 3, 2020, are now referred to as "Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" to reflect this change). They have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted.

Prior to the Separation on April 3, 2020, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations included all revenues and costs directly attributable to Otis, including costs for facilities, functions and services used by Otis. Costs for certain functions and services performed by centralized UTC organizations were directly charged to Otis based on specific identification when possible or based on a reasonable allocation driver such as net sales, headcount, usage or other allocation methods. All charges and allocations for facilities, functions and services performed by UTC organizations have been deemed settled in cash by Otis to our former parent, UTC, in the period in which the cost was recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Current and deferred income taxes were determined based on the standalone results of Otis. However, because the Company was included in our former parent UTC’s tax group in certain jurisdictions, the Company's actual tax balances may differ from those reported. The Company's portion of its domestic income taxes and certain income taxes for jurisdictions outside the U.S. are deemed to have been settled in the period the related tax expense was recorded prior to the Separation.

All significant intracompany accounts and transactions within the Company have been eliminated in the preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Prior to the Separation, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company include assets and liabilities that have been determined to be specifically or otherwise attributable to the Company.

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 COVID-19 at September 30, 2021 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 September 30, 2021 and for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, resulting from our assessments of these matters, future assessment of our current expectations at that time of the magnitude and duration of COVID-19, as well as other factors, could result in material impacts to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in future reporting periods.

Certain amounts presented in the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation, which are immaterial.

Note 3: Earnings per Share

On April 3, 2020, the date of consummation of the Separation, 433,079,455 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share, were distributed to UTC shareholders of record as of March 19, 2020. This share amount is being utilized for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for all periods presented prior to the Separation as all common stock was owned by UTC prior to the Separation. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020, these shares are treated as issued and outstanding at January 1, 2020 for purposes of calculating historical basic and diluted earnings per share.


	Quarter Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(dollars in millions, except per share amounts; shares in millions)	2021		2020		2021		2020

Net income attributable to common shareholders	$	331	$	266	$	965	$	655


Basic weighted average number of shares outstanding	425.8		433.2		428.5		433.1
Stock awards and equity units (share equivalent)	4.8		1.9		3.5		1.0
Diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding	430.6		435.1		432.0		434.1

Earnings Per Share of Common Stock:
Basic:	$	0.78	$	0.61	$	2.25	$	1.51
Diluted:	$	0.77	$	0.61	$	2.23	$	1.51

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 0.1 million and 5.0 million of anti-dilutive stock awards excluded from the computation for the quarters ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 0.1 million and 4.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Note 4: Revenue Recognition

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

Performance Obligations. The Company's revenue streams include new equipment, maintenance and repair and modernization (including related installation). New equipment, modernization and repair services revenue is typically recognized over time as we are enhancing an asset the customer controls. Maintenance revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the maintenance contract.

For new equipment and modernization transactions, equipment and installation are typically procured in a single contract providing the customer with a complete installed elevator or escalator unit. The combination of equipment and installation are typically a single performance obligation. For repair services, the customer typically contracts for specific short-term services which form a single performance obligation. For these performance obligations, revenue is recognized over time using costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion in order to measure progress.

For maintenance contracts, given the continuous nature of the maintenance services throughout the year, we recognize revenue on maintenance contracts on a straight-line basis which aligns with the cost profile of these services.

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.

Table of Contents

Total Contract assets and Contract liabilities at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are as follows:


(dollars in millions)	September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
Contract assets, current	$	536	$	458

Total contract assets	536		458

Contract liabilities, current	2,758		2,542
Contract liabilities, non-current (included within Other long-term liabilities)	46		44
Total contract liabilities	2,804		2,586
Net contract liabilities	$	2,268	$	2,128

Contract assets increased by $78 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as a result of the progression of current contracts and timing of billing on customer contracts. Contract liabilities increased by $218 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily due to contract billings in excess of revenue earned. In the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we recognized revenue of $1.9 billion and $1.5 billion related to contract liabilities as of January 1, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Remaining Performance Obligations ("RPO"). RPO represents the aggregate amount of total contract transaction price that is unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied. As of September 30, 2021, our total RPO was $17.3 billion. Of the total RPO as of September 30, 2021, we expect 88% will be recognized as sales over the following 24 months.

Note 5: Related Parties

In connection with the Separation as further described in Note 1, the Company entered into several agreements with our former parent, UTC, and Carrier. These agreements include the Separation Agreement that sets forth certain agreements with UTC and Carrier regarding the principal actions to be taken in connection with the Separation, including identifying the assets transferred, the liabilities assumed and the contracts transferred to each of UTC, Carrier and Otis as part of the Separation, and when and how these transfers and assumptions occurred.

Other agreements that we entered into that govern aspects of our relationship with RTX and Carrier following the Separation include the TSA, TMA, EMA and Intellectual Property Agreement. Under the TSA, which is substantially completed as of September 30, 2021, RTX provided the Company certain services and we provided certain services to RTX. The TMA governs the parties' respective rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to tax matters, and among other things imposes restrictions on Otis during the two-year period following the Distribution that are intended to prevent certain transactions from failing to qualify as transactions that are generally tax-free. The EMA allocates among Otis, UTC, and Carrier the liabilities and responsibilities relating to employment matters, employee compensation and benefit plans, benefit programs and other related matters.

Net Transfers from (to) UTC and Separation Transactions. In connection with the Separation, certain assets and liabilities were contributed to the Company by our former parent, UTC, leading up to and at the time of the Separation. During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, net liabilities of $43 million were contributed to the Company by our former parent, UTC, primarily consisting of deferred tax assets and liabilities and fixed assets. Prior to the Separation, these non-cash contributions were recorded as Net transfers (to) from UTC on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity through UTC Net Investment during the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Table of Contents

Upon Separation, the following were recorded as Net transfers (to) from UTC and Separation-related transactions on the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity through UTC Net Investment:


(dollars in millions)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	220
Taxes and other	187
Total	$	407

Prior to the Separation, our former parent, UTC, paid Otis Cash and cash equivalents of $190 million in connection with the Separation Agreement, and approximately $30 million as settlement of related party receivables due from UTC to Otis as a result of a cash overdraft as of March 31, 2020.

Additionally, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "TCJA") imposed a non-recurring toll charge, paid in installments over an 8-year period on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries as of December 31, 2017. Under the terms of the TMA, Otis will indemnify RTX for a percentage of the toll charge installment payments due after April 3, 2020. As a result, a portion of Otis' future income tax obligations corresponding to the toll charge was reclassified as a contractual indemnity obligation within Other long-term liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The TMA also provides for RTX to indemnify Otis for certain foreign tax obligations as a result of Otis' inclusion in certain foreign consolidated tax returns prior to the Separation. As a result, Otis has reflected this contractual indemnification asset within Other current assets and the related tax obligations within Accrued liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. As a result of the Separation and the provisions of the TMA, Otis' total net tax-related liabilities on April 3, 2020 were reduced by $191 million, comprising the following impacts to the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet:


(dollars in millions)	Increase (Decrease)
Assets
Other current assets	$	167
Total Current Assets	167
Future income tax benefits	(4)
Total Assets	$	163

Liabilities and (Deficit) Equity
Accrued liabilities	$	110
Total Current Liabilities	110
Future income tax obligations	(377)
Other long-term liabilities	239
Total Liabilities	(28)
Total Shareholders' (Deficit) Equity	191
Total (Deficit) Equity	191
Total Liabilities and (Deficit) Equity	$	163

There were also $4 million of Other long-term liabilities recorded upon Separation on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Shared Costs. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a standalone basis for the periods prior to the Separation on April 3, 2020, and for those periods are derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of UTC. Prior to the Separation, the Company had been managed and operated in the normal course of business with other affiliates of UTC, and UTC incurred significant corporate costs such as treasury, tax, accounting, human resources, audit, legal, purchasing, information technology and other such services. The costs associated with these services generally included all payroll and benefit costs, as well as overhead costs related to certain functions. All such amounts have been deemed to have been incurred and settled by the Company in the period in which the costs were recorded.

Table of Contents

Accordingly, for periods prior to the Separation, shared costs of $16 million were allocated to the Company and reflected as expenses in Selling, general and administrative expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. There were no allocated centralized costs for the periods after the Separation.

Separation Costs, net. We have incurred non-recurring Separation costs, net as follows:


	Quarter Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(dollars in millions)	2021		2020		2021		2020


Separation costs, net	$	15	$	29	$	24	$	82

Separation-related costs, net prior to the Separation primarily consisted of employee-related costs, costs to establish certain standalone functions and information technology systems, professional services fees, costs to exit from certain services previously provided under the TSA and other transaction-related costs to transition to being a standalone public company. Costs after the Separation primarily consist of costs to exit from certain services previously provided under the TSA and other transaction-related costs to transition to being a standalone public company. These costs are recorded in Selling, general and administrative expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Additional Separation-related items, which are recorded in Other income (expense), net include adjustments to indemnification assets due from RTX related to the finalization of tax settlements in accordance with the TMA and other Separation related costs. These indemnification asset adjustments are fully offset by related impacts to the income tax provision.

Long-Term Debt, Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable. Certain related party transactions between the Company and our former parent, UTC, have been included within UTC Net Investment on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in the historical periods presented. The total effect of the settlement of these related party transactions is reflected as a financing activity on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Note 6: Accounts Receivable, Net

Accounts receivable, net consisted of the following at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:


(dollars in millions)	September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
Trade receivables	$	3,073	$	2,987
Unbilled receivables	120		104

Miscellaneous receivables	95		88
	3,394		3,309
Less: allowance for expected credit losses	177		161
Accounts receivable, net	$	3,217	$	3,148

The changes in allowance for credit losses related to Accounts receivable, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, are as follows:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
(dollars in millions)	2021		2020

Write-offs charged against the allowance for expected credit losses	(8)		(9)
Foreign exchange and other	(3)		26
Balance as of September 30	$	177	$	156

The current period provision for expected credit losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily the result of reserves recorded on trade receivables and customer financing receivables in New Equipment.

Table of Contents

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, there was approximately $22 million of previously reserved balances reclassified to allowance for credit losses. As a result, there was no impact to the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Note 9: Borrowings and Lines of Credit


(dollars in millions)	September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
Commercial paper	$	—	$	664
Other borrowings	38		37
Total short-term borrowings	$	38	$	701

Commercial Paper. As of September 30, 2021, we had an aggregate $1.5 billion unsecured, unsubordinated commercial paper programs in place. As of September 30, 2021, we had no borrowings outstanding under such programs. We use our commercial paper borrowings for general corporate purposes including to finance acquisitions, pay dividends 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.

In September 2020, we issued €420 million of Euro denominated commercial paper. The Euro denominated commercial paper, while outstanding, qualified as a net investment hedge against our investments in European businesses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we fully repaid the Euro denominated commercial paper and there is no longer a related net investment hedge as of September 30, 2021.

We also issued $150 million of U.S. Dollar commercial paper in November 2020, which was fully repaid during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The commercial paper issued in 2020 was used to pay down the term loan described further below.

Long-term debt. As of September 30, 2021, we had a credit agreement, as amended, with various banks providing for a $1.5 billion unsecured, unsubordinated 5-year revolving credit facility, effective as of April 3, 2020, with an interest rate of LIBOR plus 125 basis points and a commitment fee rate of 12.5 basis points. As of September 30, 2021, there were no borrowings under the revolving credit facility. The undrawn portion of the revolving credit facility serves as a backstop for the issuance of commercial paper.

On February 10, 2020, we entered into a term loan credit agreement, as amended, providing for a $1.0 billion unsecured, unsubordinated 3-year term loan credit facility (the "term loan"). The Company drew on the full amount of the term loan on March 27, 2020 and then prepaid the full amount during 2020, resulting in the termination of the term loan credit agreement. Additionally, on February 27, 2020, we issued $5.3 billion unsecured, unsubordinated notes. The net proceeds of the term loan and the notes of approximately $6.3 billion were distributed to our former parent, UTC, during the quarter ended March 31, 2020.

On March 11, 2021, we issued ¥21.5 billion Japanese Yen denominated ($199 million), unsecured, unsubordinated 5-year notes due March 2026 ("Yen Notes"). The net proceeds of the Yen Notes were used to repay a portion of our outstanding Euro denominated commercial paper. The Yen Notes qualify as a net investment hedge against our investments in Japanese businesses. As of September 30, 2021, the net investment hedge is deemed to be effective.

The Company is in compliance with all covenants in the revolving credit agreement and the indenture governing all notes as of September 30, 2021.

On September 22, 2021, we entered into a €1.65 billion bridge loan credit agreement (the "Bridge Credit Facility") in connection with the Tender Offer, which we expect to only be drawn to the extent we have not obtained permanent debt financing prior to the settlement date of the Tender Offer (the “Tender Offer Closing Date”). The Bridge Credit Facility is available for Euro denominated loans beginning on the Tender Offer Closing Date and matures 364 days thereafter. Borrowings under the Bridge Credit Facility will bear interest at a rate equal to the greater of (i) EURIBOR or (ii) zero, plus an applicable rate based on a ratings-based pricing grid. The Bridge Credit Facility contains various terms and conditions related to the Tender Offer and that are customary for financings of this type, including covenants that are substantially consistent with the revolving credit agreement.

The net periodic benefit cost was less than $1 million for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

UTC Sponsored Defined Benefit Plans. Defined benefit pension and postretirement benefit plans were sponsored by our former parent, UTC, and have been accounted for as multi-employer plans in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company's participation in the defined pension and postretirement benefit plans sponsored by our former parent, UTC, concluded upon the completion of the Separation. The amounts for pension and postretirement expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 for Service cost and Non-service pension benefit were $1 million and $5 million, respectively, all prior to the Separation.

Table of Contents

Stock-based Compensation. In conjunction with the Separation, the Company adopted the 2020 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). The Plan became effective on April 3, 2020. As of September 30, 2021, approximately 26 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 recognize this cost in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. A forfeiture rate assumption is applied on grant date to adjust the expense recognition for awards that are not expected to vest. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020, stock-based compensation expense includes expense attributable to Otis, which is based on the awards and terms previously granted under the UTC incentive compensation plan to Otis employees. Accordingly, the amounts presented for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of future awards and do not necessarily reflect the results that Otis would have experienced as an independent publicly-traded company.

Stock-based compensation expense and the resulting tax benefits were as follows:


	Quarter Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(dollars in millions)	2021		2020		2021		2020
Stock-based compensation expense (Share Based)	$	17	$	17	$	48	$	44
Stock-based compensation expense (Cash Based)	1		2		2		(6)
Total gross stock-based compensation expense	18		19		50		38
Less: future tax benefit	2		3		6		7
Stock-based compensation expense, net of tax	$	16	$	16	$	44	$	31

As of September 30, 2021, there was approximately $73 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested equity awards granted under the Plan. This cost is expected to be recognized ratably over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years.

Note 11: Stock

Preferred Stock. There are 125 million shares of $0.01 par value authorized Preferred Stock, of which none were issued or outstanding as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Common Stock. There are 2 billion shares of $0.01 par value Common Stock authorized. As of September 30, 2021, 434.5 million shares of Common Stock were issued, which includes 9.7 million shares of treasury stock. As of December 31, 2020, 433.4 million shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding.

Share Repurchase Program. As of September 30, 2021, the Company was authorized by the Board of Directors to purchase up to $1 billion of Common Stock under a share repurchase program, of which $725 million had been utilized. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2021 the Company repurchased 2.4 million and 9.7 million shares of Common Stock, respectively, for approximately $219 million and $725 million, respectively. The Company's share repurchase program does not obligate it to acquire any specific number of shares. 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 (the "Exchange Act").

Note 13: Income Taxes

The increase in the effective tax rate for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 is primarily due to the absence of a cumulative tax benefit related to the incorporation of TCJA tax regulations that was recorded in the third quarter of 2020, partially offset by an income tax settlement related to the Separation recorded in the third quarter of 2021, as discussed in Note 5, "Related Parties".

The decrease in the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is due to the absence of the tax cost relating to Separation-related expenses and a fixed asset impairment incurred in the first quarter of 2020, a reduction in the deferred tax liability related to repatriation of foreign earnings as a result of changes to the Company’s planned debt repayments and changes in estimates related to Otis’ pre-Separation tax attributes, as well as the net impact of income tax settlements related to the Separation as discussed in Note 5, "Related Parties".

The Company conducts business globally and, as a result, the Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, the Company is 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, Russia, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States. With a few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local, or non-U.S. income tax examinations for years before 2010.

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 $10 million increase to a $370 million decrease and associated interest could change within the range of a $5 million increase to a $160 million decrease.

See Note 18, “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 14: Restructuring Costs

During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded restructuring costs totaling $9 million and $35 million, respectively, for new and ongoing restructuring actions, compared to $20 million and $46 million, respectively, for the same periods of 2020. We recorded these charges as follows:


	Quarter Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(dollars in millions)	2021		2020		2021		2020
Cost of products and services sold	$	5	$	9	$	19	$	19
Selling, general and administrative	4		11		16		27

Total	$	9	$	20	$	35	$	46

Restructuring Actions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded restructuring costs of $24 million for restructuring actions initiated in 2021, consisting of $11 million in Cost of products and services sold and $13 million in Selling, general and administrative expenses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded pre-tax restructuring costs totaling $10 million for restructuring actions initiated in 2020, consisting of $8 million in Cost of products and services sold and $2 million in Selling, general and administrative expenses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we also recorded restructuring costs totaling $1 million for restructuring actions initiated in 2019 and prior to 2019.

The 2021 and 2020, actions relate to ongoing cost-reduction efforts, including workforce reductions. We are targeting to complete in 2021 the majority of remaining restructuring actions initiated in 2021 and 2020, with certain utilization beyond 2021.

Note 15: Financial Instruments

We enter into derivative instruments primarily for risk management purposes, including derivatives designated as hedging instruments under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. 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 average of the notional amount of foreign exchange contracts hedging foreign currency transactions was $3.0 billion at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The average of the notional amount of contracts hedging commodity purchases was $21 million and $0 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

The following table summarizes the fair value and presentation on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets for derivative instruments as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

Derivatives designated as Cash flow hedging instruments

The amounts of gain or (loss) attributable to foreign exchange contract activity reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) were immaterial for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The effect of cash flow hedging relationships on Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are presented in the table below:


(dollars in millions)	September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
Gain (loss) recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)	$	5	$	4

The Company utilizes the critical terms match method in assessing firm commitment 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 gain of $2 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 hedging within the next 12 months. All derivative contracts accounted for as cash flow hedges as of September 30, 2021 will mature by December 2024.

Net Investment Hedges

We have foreign-denominated long-term debt that qualifies as a net investment hedge. Changes in the value of this net investment hedge 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.

In September 2020, we issued €420 million of Euro denominated commercial paper. The Euro denominated commercial paper while outstanding qualified as a net investment hedge against our investments in European businesses. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we fully repaid the Euro denominated commercial paper and there is no longer a net investment hedge as of September 30, 2021. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized gains of $4 million and $16 million, respectively, associated with this net investment hedge in Other comprehensive income (loss).

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 September 30, 2021, the net investment hedge is deemed to be effective. During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized gains of $1 million and $5 million, respectively, associated with this net investment hedge in Other comprehensive income (loss).

Derivatives not designated as Cash flow hedging instruments

The 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:

Note 16: 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 September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

Valuation Techniques. Our equity securities include equity 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 equity securities are recorded through Other income (expense), net. Our derivative assets and liabilities include foreign exchange 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.

Table of Contents

The fair values of the current portion of the Company's financial instruments 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 9, "Borrowings and Lines of Credit", are measured at fair value using closing bond prices from active markets.

As of September 30, 2021, 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 following table provides carrying amounts and fair values of financial instruments that are not carried at fair value at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:


	September 30, 2021				December 31, 2020

Note 17: Guarantees

The Company provides service and warranty on its products beyond normal service and warranty policies. The changes in the carrying amount of service and product guarantees for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 are as follows:


(dollars in millions)	2021		2020
Balance as of December 31	$	25	$	27
Warranties	3		8
Settlements made	(8)		(10)
Foreign exchange and other	1		(1)
Balance as of September 30	$	21	$	24

The Company provides certain financial guarantees to third parties. As of September 30, 2021, Otis has stand-by letters of credit with maximum potential payment totaling $146 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 the FASB ASC Topic 460: Guarantees, we record these liabilities at fair value. As of September 30, 2021, Otis has determined there are no estimated costs probable under these guarantees.

In connection with the Tender Offer, the Company entered into certain agreements whereby third party banks have agreed to provide financial guarantees to the CNMV in an amount equal to the total purchase price of the Tender Offer, which is €1.65 billion as of September 30, 2021, as required by the Spanish takeover code. Any amounts required to be paid by the guarantees will be satisfied with cash on hand, commercial paper issuance, issuance of debt or borrowings under the Bridge Credit Facility discussed in Note 9, "Borrowings and Lines of Credit".

Note 18: 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 other below 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 $12 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and is included in Accrued liabilities and 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 $252 million as of September 30, 2021) 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 $139 million as of September 30, 2021).

Table of Contents

On August 3, 2012, a suit was filed in the local German Tax Court (Berlin-Brandenburg). In 2015, our former parent, UTC, now 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 on July 24, 2018, the German Federal Tax Court remanded the matter to the local German Tax Court for further proceedings. On December 7, 2020, the local German Tax Court ruled against the Company. We have filed an appeal with the German Federal Tax Court. There is no assurance, however, that the German Federal Tax Court will agree to hear the appeal or, if it does, rule in the Company's favor, and the decision of the German Tax Office ultimately could be sustained.

Pursuant to the TMA, the Company retains the liability associated with the remaining interest, and has recorded an interest accrual of €45 million (approximately $52 million as of September 30, 2021), net of payments and other deductions, included within Accrued liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 2021. In the event that 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 September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

The estimated range of total liabilities to resolve all pending and unasserted potential future asbestos claims through 2059 is approximately $23 million to $45 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Because no amount within the range of estimates is more likely to occur than any other, we have recorded the minimum amount of $23 million, which is principally recorded in Other long-term liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Amounts are on a pre-tax basis, not discounted, and excludes 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 September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

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 against Otis, Raytheon Technologies Corporation ("RTX"), Carrier, each of their directors, and various incentive and deferred compensation plans. 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. Otis believes that the claims against the Company are without merit. At this time, Otis is unable to predict the outcome, or reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any, which could result from this action.

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.

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 have 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 19: Segment Financial Data

Our operations are classified into 2 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.

1 The decrease in General corporate expenses and other during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020 is primarily driven by a fixed asset impairment charge and related costs of $67 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, as well as lower non-recurring Separation-related and shared costs of $74 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. See Note 5 for further discussion on these Separation-related and shared costs.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in this update remove certain exceptions of Topic 740 including: exception to the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operations and income or gain from other items; exception to the requirement to recognize a deferred tax liability for equity method investments when a foreign subsidiary becomes an equity method investment; exception to the ability not to recognize a deferred tax liability for a foreign subsidiary when a foreign equity method investment becomes a subsidiary; and an exception to the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when a year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year. There are additional areas of guidance in regards to: franchise and other taxes partially based on income and the interim recognition of enactment of tax laws and rate changes. The provisions of this ASU are effective for years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2021. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

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, 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. ASU 2020-04 is currently effective and upon adoption may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made on or before December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard but do not expect it to have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other new accounting pronouncements adopted and issued but not effective until after September 30, 2021 did not and are not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

With respect to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information of Otis Worldwide Corporation for the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PricewaterhouseCoopers) reported that it has applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a review of such information. However, its report dated October 26, 2021, appearing below, states that the firm did not audit and does not express an opinion on that unaudited condensed consolidated financial information. PricewaterhouseCoopers has not carried out any significant or additional audit tests beyond those that would have been necessary if their report had not been included. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on its report on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. PricewaterhouseCoopers is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Act) for its report on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial information because that report is not a "report" or a "part" of a registration statement prepared or certified by PricewaterhouseCoopers within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Act.

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Otis Worldwide Corporation

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 September 30, 2021, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income and of changes in equity for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 and the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, 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, 2020, 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 5, 2021, 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, 2020, 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

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 approximately 69,000 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 2021 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 Form 10-K.

Separation from United Technologies Corporation

As previously disclosed, on April 3, 2020, Otis became an independent, publicly-traded company and its Common Stock is listed under the symbol "OTIS" on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") as a result of the separation ("the Separation") of each of Otis and Carrier Global Corporation ("Carrier") from United Technologies Corporation, subsequently renamed Raytheon Technologies Corporation ("UTC" or "RTX", as applicable).

Prior to the Separation, our historical financial statements were prepared on a standalone combined basis and were derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of our former parent, UTC. For the period subsequent to April 3, 2020, our financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis as the Company became a standalone public company. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We entered into a transition services agreement ("TSA") and tax matters agreement ("TMA") with our former parent, UTC, and Carrier on April 2, 2020. We received services for information technology, technical and engineering support, application support for operations, general administrative services and other support services under the TSA. The TSA and the related trailing exit costs are substantially completed as of September 30, 2021. For additional discussion, see Note 5, "Related Parties" to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Zardoya Otis Tender Offer

On September 23, 2021, the Company announced a tender offer to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Zardoya Otis, S.A. ("Zardoya Otis") not owned by Otis at a price of €7.00 per share in cash (the "Tender Offer"), and its intention to delist the shares of Zardoya Otis from the Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao and Valencia stock exchanges subsequent to the Tender Offer. The price per share to be paid in the Tender Offer was adjusted to €6.93 as a result of the dividend paid by Zardoya Otis on October 11, 2021. See Note 1, "Description of Business and Separation from United Technologies Corporation", Note 9, "Borrowings and Lines of Credit" and Note 17, "Guarantees" to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as well as the Liquidity and Financial Condition section below, for further details regarding this proposed transaction and financing arrangements entered into in connection with the Tender Offer.

Impact of COVID-19 on our Company

The results of our operations and overall financial performance were impacted due to the COVID-19 pandemic during the quarters and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. COVID-19 has had and could continue to have an impact on our business in the future, including impacts to overall financial performance during the remainder of 2021, as a result of the following, among other things:

•Customer demand impacting our new equipment, maintenance and repair, and modernization businesses

•Cancellations or delays of customer orders

•Customer liquidity constraints and related credit reserves

•Supplier capacity constraints, delays and related costs

We currently do not expect any significant impact to our capital and financial resources from the COVID-19 pandemic, 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 Form 10-K for additional risks related to COVID-19.

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 Form 10-K. Except as disclosed in Note 20 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.

Research and development expense as a percentage of net sales was relatively flat for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2021, when compared to the same periods in 2020.

Selling, General and Administrative


	Quarter Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
(dollars in millions)	2021			2020			2021			2020
Selling, general and administrative	$	479		$	481		$	1,445		$	1,387
Percentage of Net sales	13.2		%	14.7		%	13.5		%	15.0		%

Selling, general and administrative expenses were relatively flat for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, when compared to the same period in 2020, as higher employment costs, including incremental standalone public company costs, and the absence of cost containment actions taken during 2020 in response to COVID-19, were offset by lower non-recurring Separation-related costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $58 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the same periods in 2020. The primary drivers of the change are the following:

•Higher employment costs and information technology costs, including incremental standalone public company costs, and the absence of cost containment actions taken during 2020 in response to COVID-19; and

•Impact of unfavorable foreign exchange of $42 million; partially offset by

•Lower non-recurring Separation-related costs and the absence of UTC allocations of $71 million.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of Net sales decreased 150 basis points for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020, as Net sales increased while expenses were flat for the quarter. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, Net sales increased at a faster rate than expenses.

Restructuring Costs


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
(dollars in millions)	2021		2020
Restructuring costs	$	35	$	46

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 field 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 $35 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and included $24 million of costs related to 2021 actions, $10 million of costs related to 2020 actions and $1 million of costs related to pre-2020 actions.

All of the expected pre-tax charges will require cash payments, which we have funded and expect to continue to fund with cash generated from operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we had cash outflows of approximately $34 million related to the restructuring actions and expect to make cash payments of $49 million to complete the actions announced, comprised of $11 million of additional restructuring expenses and $38 million of existing restructuring accruals as of September 30, 2021.

We generally expect to achieve annual recurring savings within the two-year period subsequent to initiating the actions, including $27 million for the 2021 actions and $58 million for the 2020 actions, of which approximately $47 million was realized for the 2021 and 2020 actions during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

For additional discussion of restructuring, see Note 14 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other Income (Expense), Net


	Quarter Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(dollars in millions)	2021		2020		2021		2020
Other income (expense), net	$	—	$	(7)	$	16	$	(69)

Other income (expense), net primarily includes the impact of changes in the fair value and settlement of embedded and foreign exchange derivatives, gains or losses on sale of businesses and fixed assets, earnings from equity method investments, fair value changes on equity securities, impairments, non-recurring Separation-related expenses and certain other operating items.

The change in Other income (expense), net of $7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020, was primarily driven by gains on sales of fixed assets recognized during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the impact of changes in fair value and settlement of embedded derivatives and foreign exchange derivatives and the impact from settlements of certain TMA transactions.

The change in Other income (expense), net of $85 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020, was primarily due to the absence of a fixed asset impairment of $(55) million and related licensing costs of $(12) million recognized during the quarter ended March 31, 2020, as well as gains on sales of fixed assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the impact of changes in fair value and settlement of embedded derivatives and foreign exchange derivatives and the impact from the settlements of certain TMA transactions.

Interest Expense (Income), Net


	Quarter Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(dollars in millions)	2021		2020		2021		2020


Interest expense (income), net	$	33	$	39	$	92	$	85

Interest expense (income), net primarily relates to interest expense on our external debt, offset by interest income earned on cash balances, short-term investments and, in the prior year, related party activity between Otis and our former parent, UTC.

The decrease in Interest expense (income), net of $(6) million in the quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020, was primarily driven by lower interest expense as a result of the debt refinancings and debt repayments during 2021.

The increase in Interest expense (income), net of $7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020, was primarily driven by a full nine months impact of interest expense on the external debt associated with the Separation, which was not outstanding for the full nine months ended September 30, 2020, offset by the favorable activity noted above.

The average interest rate on our external debt for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2021 is 2.4% and for the same periods in 2020 was 2.4% and 2.5%, respectively.

For additional discussion of borrowings, see Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Income Taxes


	Quarter Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2021		2020		2021		2020
Effective tax rate	25.2	%	24.9	%	26.7	%	30.2	%

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 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Noncontrolling Interest in Subsidiaries' Earnings


	Quarter Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
(dollars in millions)	2021		2020		2021		2020
Noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries' earnings	$	48	$	44	$	145	$	122

Noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries' earnings increased for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2021 in comparison to the same periods in 2020 due primarily to an increase in net income from non-wholly owned subsidiaries and the impact from foreign exchange.

Net income attributable to common shareholders increased for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020, primarily driven by higher operating profit.

Net income attributable to common shareholders increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the same period in 2020, primarily driven by higher operating profit and the benefit of a lower effective tax rate, partially offset by higher noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries' earnings and higher interest expense.

Total % change	18.1	%	26.7	%

Quarter Ended September 30, 2021

Net sales

The organic sales increase of 14.1% was driven by mid-teens growth in Americas, high-teens growth in Asia and low single digit growth in EMEA.

Operating profit

New Equipment operating profit increased $36 million, primarily due to higher volume of $30 million, with an operating margin increase of 110 basis points. Favorable field installation productivity was mostly offset by commodity headwinds and unfavorable price and mix. Foreign currency tailwinds of $10 million and lower restructuring costs of $5 million were partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative costs.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021

Net sales

The organic sales increase of 21.1% was driven by double digit growth in Asia and Americas and mid-teen growth in EMEA.

Operating profit

New Equipment operating profit increased $144 million, primarily due to higher volume of $150 million, with an operating margin increase of 170 basis points. Favorable field installation and material productivity, was partially offset by unfavorable price and mix and commodity headwinds. Foreign currency tailwinds of $25 million, were more than offset by higher selling, general and administrative costs of $35 million.

General Corporate Expenses and Other

General corporate expenses and other	$	(33)	$	(50)	$	(85)	$	(229)

General corporate expenses and other for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 decreased $(17) million primarily due to lower non-recurring Separation costs incurred when compared to the same quarter in 2020.

The decrease in General corporate expenses and other of $(144) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, when compared to the same period in 2020, is primarily due to the absence of a fixed asset impairment of $(55) million and related licensing costs of $(12) million recognized during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and lower non-recurring Separation costs and the absence of UTC allocations of $(74) million when compared to the same period in 2020.

At September 30, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $1.6 billion, of which approximately 97% was held by the Company's foreign subsidiaries. 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 September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the amount of such restricted cash was approximately $20 million and $19 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 September 30, 2021 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 the impact of COVID-19. There can be no assurance that we will continue to have access to the capital markets on terms acceptable to us.

The following is a summary of the debt issuances for the nine months ended September 30, 2021:

The proceeds from the issuance of the Japanese Yen Notes were used to repay a portion of our outstanding Euro denominated commercial paper.

For additional discussion of borrowings, see Note 9 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

On September 22, 2021, we entered into a €1.65 billion bridge loan credit agreement (the "Bridge Credit Facility") in connection with the Tender Offer, which we expect to be drawn only to the extent permanent debt financing has not been obtained prior to the Tender Offer Closing Date. For additional discussion of the Bridge Credit Facility, see Note 9, "Borrowings and Lines of Credit" to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Following the enactment of the TCJA, and after reassessing as part of the Separation, the Company determined that it no longer intends 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.

Table of Contents

On April 27, 2020, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to $1.0 billion of Common Stock, of which approximately $725 million has been utilized as of September 30, 2021. 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. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 the Company repurchased 9.7 million shares of Common Stock for approximately $725 million. As a result of the increased debt we anticipate incurring to fund the Tender Offer, we expect to suspend share repurchases through 2022 as we focus on deleveraging.

Cash Flow - Operating Activities


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
(dollars in millions)	2021		2020
Net cash flows provided by operating activities	$	1,473	$	1,171

Cash generated from operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $302 million higher than the same period in 2020, primarily due to higher net income of $333 million and increased cash inflows related to current assets and current liabilities activity of $172 million, as described below. These were partially offset by $60 million lower non-cash adjustments from Net income, including the fixed asset impairment of $55 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, and $148 million lower Other operating activities, net, primarily due to long-term accruals and other activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 Changes in Working Capital

The nine months ended September 30, 2021 cash inflows related to current assets and current liabilities operating activity were $264 million. These cash inflows were primarily driven by:

•Accounts payable, which increased by $230 million, primarily due to increased volume;

•Contract assets, current and Contract liabilities, current, net change of $140 million, driven by the timing of billings on contracts compared to the progression on current contracts; and

•Inventories, net, which decreased $18 million, due to the timing of deliveries to construction sites.

The cash inflows were partially offset by cash outflows related to Accounts receivable, net, which increased $107 million, primarily due to increased volume.

Additionally, Other current assets decreased by $12 million due to prepaid income tax refunds and indemnification payments received pursuant to the TMA in order to pay foreign tax obligations, partially offset by advance payments to suppliers. Accrued liabilities decreased $29 million primarily due to the payment of $23 million in foreign tax obligations pursuant to the TMA described above and income tax liabilities in certain jurisdictions. The receipt and payment of indemnification assets and foreign tax obligations resulted in minimal cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. See Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on transactions with our former parent, UTC.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 Changes in Working Capital

The nine months ended September 30, 2020 cash inflows related to current assets and current liabilities operating activity were $92 million. These cash inflows were primarily driven by:

•Contract assets, current and Contract liabilities, current, net change of $277 million, driven by the timing of billings on contracts compared to the progression on current contracts; and

•Accounts payable, which increased $19 million, primarily due to the timing of payments to suppliers.

Table of Contents

The cash inflows were partially offset by cash outflows related to:

•Inventories, net, which increased $101 million, due to higher production inventory related to the timing of deliveries to construction sites; and

•Accounts receivable, net, which increased $79 million, due to slower collections.

Additionally, Other current assets decreased $57 million, primarily due to the receipt of indemnification pursuant to the TMA in order to pay foreign tax obligations, partially offset by tax prepayments in certain tax jurisdictions. Accrued liabilities decreased $81 million, primarily due to the payment of foreign tax obligations pursuant to the TMA mentioned above and income tax liabilities in certain jurisdictions. The receipt and payment of indemnification assets and foreign tax obligations resulted in no net cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. See Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on transactions with our former parent, UTC.

Cash Flow - Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities primarily reflect capital expenditures, investments in businesses and securities, and settlement of derivative contracts.

Other investing activities, net	30		(13)		43
Net cash flows used in investing activities	$	(69)	$	(289)	$	220

Cash flows used in investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased $220 million, including the following drivers:

•$58 million of proceeds from the sale of equity securities in the nine months ended September 30, 2021;

•$43 million of higher Other investing activities, net primarily due to property damage insurance proceeds received associated with the Germany fire matter discussed below under "Germany Fire", as well as proceeds from the sales of fixed assets; and

•$33 million in lower investments in equity securities resulting from higher investments made in the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Additionally, as discussed in Note 15 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 and foreign exchange rates. 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 exposures. The settlement of these derivative instruments resulted in a net cash receipts of $35 million and payments of $63 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Germany Fire

As previously disclosed, during 2020 there was a fire at the Company’s manufacturing facility in Germany. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company settled the related property damage claim with the insurance company, as reflected in Other investing activities, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, the Company reached a final agreement with the insurance company related to the business interruption claim to cover costs incurred as a result of the fire and expects to receive the final payment during the fourth quarter of 2021. We do not anticipate any material impact to our operations or financial results from this event.

Cash Flow - Financing Activities

Financing activities primarily include increases or decreases in short-term borrowings, issuance or repayment of long-term debt, dividends paid to common shareholders, repurchases of Common Stock and dividends paid to noncontrolling interests. The prior year activity includes transfers to and from our former parent, UTC, prior to the Separation, consisting of, among other things, cash transfers, distributions, cash investments and changes in receivables and payables. See Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
