FARMINGTON, Conn., Jan. 29,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Otis Worldwide Corporation
(NYSE:OTIS) reported full year net sales of $14.3 billion with 1.4% organic growth. GAAP
earnings per share (EPS) increased 20.1% to $4.07 and adjusted EPS increased 8.2% to
$3.83.
"Otis finished 2024 with solid fourth quarter results including
high single digit adjusted EPS growth, our highest cash flow since
spin, and modernization orders up 18%," said Chair, CEO &
President Judy Marks. "For the full
year, we delivered organic sales growth and strong adjusted margin
expansion for the fourth consecutive year. Our industry-leading
maintenance portfolio grew 4.2% to approximately 2.4 million units,
and our modernization backlog grew low teens. The quarter and the
year show that our strategic New Equipment, Service and
modernization flywheel is working with more growth in the higher
margin elements of the business. As in 2023 and 2024, we enter 2025
with continued strong momentum."
*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

$4.07 increased 20.1% compared to the
prior year primarily driven by non-recurring tax benefit and
related interest income, and adjusted EPS increased 8.2% to
$3.83 due to solid operating profit
growth, a reduction in the effective tax rate, a lower share count,
and lower noncontrolling interest.

Fourth quarter cash flow changes were driven by an increase in
net income and the benefit from working capital reduction.
Full year cash flow changes were driven by an increase in net
income, offset by changes in working capital. Working capital
includes the benefit of accounts receivable net of accounts
payable.
2025 Outlook*
Otis is announcing its full year outlook:
- Net sales of $14.1 to
$14.4 billion, down 1 to up 1%
- Organic sales up 2 to 4%
- Organic New Equipment sales down 1 to 4%
- Organic Service sales up 6 to 7%
- Adjusted operating profit of $2.4
to $2.5 billion, up $120 to $150
million at constant currency; up $55 to $105 million
at actual currency
- Adjusted EPS of $4.00 to
$4.10, up 4 to 7%; adjusted effective
tax rate of approximately 24.8%
- Adjusted free cash flow of approximately $1.6 billion
Otis continues strong execution on its UpLift program and
is increasing expected run-rate savings to $200 million by the second half of 2025. Otis
also launches its China
transformation program to adjust its operating model to adapt to
changing market conditions, with expected run-rate savings of
$30 million by year-end 2025.
*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

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:
Non-GAAP
measure
|
Definition
|
Organic
sales
|
Represents consolidated
net sales (a GAAP measure), excluding the impact of foreign
currency translation, acquisitions and divestitures completed in
the preceding twelve months and other significant items of a
non-recurring and/or nonoperational nature ("other significant
items"). Management believes organic sales is a useful measure in
providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of the
Company's ongoing operational performance.
|
Adjusted selling,
general and administrative ("SG&A") expense
|
Represents SG&A
expense (a GAAP measure), excluding restructuring costs and other
significant items.
|
Adjusted operating
profit
|
Represents income from
continuing operations (a GAAP measure), excluding restructuring
costs and other significant items.
|
Adjusted net interest
expense
|
Represents net interest
expense (a GAAP measure), adjusted for the impacts of non-recurring
acquisition related financing costs and related net interest
expense pending the completion of a transaction and other
significant items.
|
Adjusted noncontrolling
interest in earnings
|
Represents
noncontrolling interest in earnings (a GAAP measure), excluding
restructuring costs and other significant items, including related
tax effects.
|
Adjusted net
income
|
Represents net income
attributable to Otis Worldwide Corporation (a GAAP measure),
excluding restructuring costs and other significant items,
including related tax effects.
|
Adjusted earnings per
share ("EPS")
|
Represents diluted
earnings per share attributable to common shareholders (a GAAP
measure), adjusted for the per share impact of restructuring and
other significant items, including related tax effects.
|
Adjusted effective tax
rate
|
Represents the
effective tax rate (a GAAP measure) adjusted for other significant
items and the tax impact of restructuring costs and other
significant items.
|
Constant
currency
|
GAAP financial results
include the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates
("AFX"). We use the non-GAAP measure "at constant currency" or
"CFX" to show changes in our financial results without giving
effect to period-to-period currency fluctuations. Under U.S. GAAP,
income statement results are translated in U.S. dollars at the
average exchange rate for the period presented. Management believes
that this non-GAAP measure is useful in providing period-to-period
comparisons of the results of the Company's ongoing operational
performance.
|
Free cash
flow
|
Represents cash flow
from operations (a GAAP measure) less capital expenditures.
Management believes free cash flow is a useful measure of liquidity
and an additional basis for assessing Otis' ability to fund its
activities, including the financing of acquisitions, debt service,
repurchases of common stock and distribution of earnings to
shareholders. Free cash flow should not be considered an
alternative to, or more meaningful than, net cash flows provided by
operating activities, or any other measure of liquidity presented
in accordance with GAAP.
|
Adjusted free cash
flow
|
Represents cash flow
from operations (a GAAP measure) less capital expenditures,
adjusted to exclude certain items management believes affect the
comparability of operating results. Management believes adjusted
free cash flow is a useful measure of liquidity that provides
investors additional information regarding the Company's ability to
fund its activities, including the financing of acquisitions, debt
service, repurchases of common stock and distribution of earnings
to shareholders. Adjusted free cash flow should not be considered
an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net cash flows provided
by operating activities, or any other measure of liquidity
presented in accordance with GAAP.
|
Management believes that organic sales, adjusted SG&A,
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.

Otis claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking
statements contained in the U.S. Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. Such risks, uncertainties and other factors
include, without limitation: (1) the effect of economic conditions
in the industries and markets in which Otis and its businesses
operate and any changes therein, including financial market
conditions, fluctuations in commodity prices and other inflationary
pressures, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates,
levels of end market demand in construction, pandemic health
issues, natural disasters, whether as a result of climate change or
otherwise, and the financial condition of Otis' customers and
suppliers; (2) the effect of changes in political conditions in the
U.S., including in connection with the new administration's
policies and priorities, or otherwise, and other countries in which
Otis and its businesses operate, including the effects of the
ongoing conflict between Russia
and Ukraine, the conflicts in the
Middle East, and tensions between
the U.S. and China, on general
market conditions, commodity costs, global trade policies and
related sanctions, export controls and tariffs, and currency
exchange rates in the near term and beyond; (3) challenges in the
development, production, delivery, support, performance and
realization of the anticipated benefits of advanced technologies
and new products and services; (4) future levels of indebtedness,
capital spending and research and development spending; (5) future
availability of credit and factors that may affect such
availability or costs thereof, including credit market conditions
and Otis' capital structure; (6) the timing and scope of future
repurchases of Otis' common stock, which may be suspended at any
time due to various factors, including market conditions and the
level of other investing activities and uses of cash; (7)
fluctuations in prices and delays and disruption in delivery of
materials and services from suppliers, whether as a result of
changes in general economic conditions, geopolitical conflicts or
otherwise; (8) cost reduction or containment actions, restructuring
or transformation costs and related savings and other consequences
thereof, including with respect to UpLift and related impacts of
reorganization and outsourcing activities and change management;
(9) new business and investment opportunities; (10) the outcome of
legal proceedings, investigations and other contingencies; (11)
pension plan assumptions and future contributions; (12) the impact
of the negotiation of collective bargaining agreements and labor
disputes, labor actions, including strikes or work stoppages, and
labor inflation in the markets in which Otis and its businesses
operate globally; (13) the effect of changes in tax, environmental,
regulatory (including among other things import/export, tariffs,
climate change or other ESG related legal and regulatory changes)
and other laws and regulations in the U.S., including in connection
with the new administration's policies and priorities, and other
countries in which Otis and its businesses operate; (14) the
ability of Otis to retain and hire key personnel; (15) the scope,
nature, impact or timing of acquisition and divestiture activity,
the integration of acquired businesses into existing businesses and
realization of synergies and opportunities for growth and
innovation and incurrence of related costs; (16) the determination
by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities that the
distribution or certain related transactions should be treated as
taxable transactions in connection with the separation (the
"Separation") of Otis and Carrier Global Corporation ("Carrier")
from United Technologies Corporation (now known as RTX Corporation
("RTX"); and (17) our obligations and disputes that have or may
hereafter arise under the agreements we entered into with RTX and
Carrier in connection with the Separation. The above list of
factors is not exhaustive or necessarily in order of importance.
For additional information on identifying factors that may cause

Separation-related adjustments in the year ended December 31, 2024
represent amounts due to RTX Corporation (our former parent)
in accordance with the Tax Matters Agreement, including those
amounts related to a favorable ruling received in August 2024
regarding a tax litigation in Germany.
|
|
2
Litigation-related settlement costs in the year ended December 31,
2024 represent the aggregate amount of settlement costs and
increase in loss contingency accruals, excluding legal costs, for
certain legal matters that are outside of the ordinary course of
business due to the size, complexity and unique facts of these
matters.
|
|
Otis discloses segment
operating profit as its measure of segment performance, reconciled
to total Otis operating profit. Segment operating profit exclude
certain expenses and income that are not allocated to segments (as
described above as "Corporate and Unallocated").
|
|
Effective in the first
quarter of 2024, the measure of segment performance used by Otis'
Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") changed and, as a result,
Otis' disclosed measure of segment performance (segment operating
profit) was updated. The change to segment operating profit aligns
with the update to how the CODM assesses performance and allocates
resources for the Company's segments, and therefore is our measure
of segment profitability.
|
|
As a result of the
change, restructuring costs and other items not allocated to the
operating segments are presented as part of Corporate and
Unallocated. The financial information presented herein reflects
the impact of the measure of segment performance change for all
periods presented.
