Summary

Summary of the 8-K filed October 29, 2025. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.

Otis Worldwide Corporation (OTIS) furnished a press release reporting third quarter 2025 results, with net sales of $3.7 billiona, up 4% versus the prior year, and organic sales up 2%.

Service net sales rose 9% to $2.4 billionb with organic sales up 6%, and Service segment operating profit margin expanded 70 basis points to 25.5%. New Equipment net sales decreased 4% to $1.3 billion, and segment operating profit fell to $59 million, with margin contracting 170 basis points to 4.7%, reflecting an approximately 20% decline in China. GAAP EPS decreased 29% to $0.95, primarily due to non-recurring tax benefits and related interest income recorded in the prior year.

Adjusted EPS increased 9% to $1.05c, driven by operational performance, lower taxes, a lower share count and favorable foreign exchange, partially offset by higher interest. Modernization orders rose 27% at constant currency and backlog increased 22%, while New Equipment orders grew 4% at constant currency.

For 2025, Otis raised the midpoint of its adjusted EPS outlook to $4.04 to $4.08d, up 5% to 7%, and guided to net sales of $14.5 to $14.6 billion, adjusted free cash flow of approximately $1.45 billion, and an adjusted effective tax rate of approximately 24.8%.
