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, onApril 3, 2020 ,Otis became an independent, publicly-traded company and its Common Stock is listed under the symbol "OTIS" on theNew York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") as a result of the separation ("the Separation") of each ofOtis 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 toApril 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 inthe United States of America . We entered into a transition services agreement ("TSA") and tax matters agreement ("TMA") with our former parent, UTC, and Carrier onApril 2, 2020 . We received and continue to receive services for information technology, technical and engineering support, application support for operations, general administrative services and other support services under theTSA . TheTSA and the related trailing exit costs are expected to wind-down during the second half of 2021. For additional discussion, see Note 5 "Related Parties" to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. 32
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents 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 six months endedJune 30, 2021 and 2020. COVID-19 has had and could continue to have a negative 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. We are focused on navigating these challenges presented by COVID-19 by continuing to preserve our liquidity and managing our cash flow by taking the necessary measures to meet our short-term liquidity needs.
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. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net Sales Quarter Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, (dollars in millions) 2021 2020 2021 2020 Net sales$ 3,701 $ 3,029 $ 7,109 $ 5,995 Percentage change year-over-year 22.2 % 18.6 % The factors contributing to the total percentage change year-over-year in total Net sales for the quarter and six months endedJune 30, 2021 are as follows: Quarter Ended Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 June 30, 2021 Organic volume 15.4 % 12.9 % Foreign currency translation 6.5 % 5.5 % Acquisitions and divestitures, net 0.3 % 0.2 % Total % change 22.2 % 18.6 %
The Organic volume increase of 15.4% for the quarter ended
33 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents The Organic volume increase of 12.9% for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 was driven by increases in organic sales of 25.3% in New Equipment and 4.5% in Service.
See "Segment Review" section for a discussion of Net sales by segment.
Cost of Products and Services Sold
Quarter Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, (dollars in millions) 2021 2020 2021 2020 Total cost of products and services sold$ 2,626 $ 2,138 $ 5,015 $ 4,207 Percentage change year-over-year 22.8 % 19.2 % The factors contributing to the percentage change year-over-year for the quarter and six months endedJune 30, 2021 in total cost of products and services sold are as follows: Quarter Ended Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 June 30, 2021 Organic volume 15.6 % 13.1 % Foreign currency translation 6.9 % 5.8 % Acquisitions and divestitures, net 0.3 % 0.2 % Restructuring - % 0.1 % Total % change 22.8 % 19.2 % The organic increase in total cost of products and services sold for the quarter and six months endedJune 30, 2021 was primarily driven by the organic sales increases noted above and overall segment mix between New Equipment and Service. Gross Margin Quarter Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, (dollars in millions) 2021 2020 2021 2020 Gross margin$ 1,075 $ 891 $ 2,094 $ 1,788 Gross margin percentage 29.0 % 29.4 % 29.5 % 29.8 % Gross margin decreased 40 and 30 basis points for the quarter and six months endedJune 30, 2021 , respectively, when compared to the same periods for 2020, as improvement in gross margins in New Equipment and Service was more than offset by overall segment mix.
See the "Segment Review" section for discussion of operating results by segment.
Research and Development
Quarter Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, (dollars in millions) 2021 2020 2021 2020 Research and development$ 39 $ 37 $ 74 $ 75 Percentage of Net sales 1.1 % 1.2 % 1.0 % 1.3 % Research and development was relatively flat for the quarter and six months endedJune 30, 2021 , when compared to the same periods for 2020. We continue to fund our strategic investment projects, including investments in Internet of Things technologies. Research and development expense as a percentage of net sales decreased for the quarter and six months endedJune 30, 2021 , when compared to the same periods in 2020, primarily as a result of the increase in net sales in the current year. 34 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Selling, General and Administrative Quarter Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, (dollars in millions) 2021 2020 2021 2020 Selling, general and administrative$ 484 $ 441 $ 966 $ 906 Percentage of Net sales 13.1 % 14.6 % 13.6 % 15.1 %
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately
•Higher employment 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, partially offset by
•Lower non-recurring Separation-related costs and the absence of corporate
allocations from UTC of
•Selling, general and administrative expenses also reflected the impact from unfavorable foreign exchange of$21 million and$37 million for the quarter and six months endedJune 30, 2021 , respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020.
The quarter ended
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of Net sales decreased 150 basis points for the quarter and six months endedJune 30, 2021 , respectively, compared to the same periods in 2020, primarily driven by higher net sales. We are continuously evaluating our cost structure and have implemented restructuring actions as a method of keeping our cost structure competitive. For further discussion, see "Restructuring Costs" below and Note 14 in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Restructuring Costs Six Months Ended June 30, (dollars in millions) 2021 2020 Restructuring costs $ 26$ 26 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$26 million for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 and included$16 million of costs related to 2021 actions and$10 million of costs related to 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 six months endedJune 30, 2021 , we had cash outflows of approximately$28 million related to the restructuring actions and remaining cash payments of$50 million are expected, including$13 million of additional restructuring expenses to complete the actions and$37 million of restructuring accruals as ofJune 30, 2021 . We generally expect to achieve annual recurring savings within the two-year period subsequent to initiating the actions, including$26 million for the 2021 actions and$58 million for the 2020 actions, of which approximately$15 million was realized during the six months endedJune 30, 2021 .

Other Income (Expense), Net
Quarter Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, (dollars in millions) 2021 2020 2021 2020 Other income (expense), net $ 9
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 increase in Other income (expense), net of$6 million for the quarter endedJune 30, 2021 , when compared to the same period in 2020, is primarily due to the impact of changes in fair value and settlement of embedded and foreign exchange derivatives. The increase in Other income (expense), net of$78 million for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 , when compared to the same period in 2020, is primarily due to a fixed asset impairment of$(55) million and related licensing costs of$(12) million recognized during the quarter endedMarch 31, 2020 as well as the impact of changes in fair value and settlement of embedded derivatives and foreign exchange derivatives.
Interest Expense (Income), Net
Quarter Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, (dollars in millions) 2021 2020 2021 2020 Interest expense (income), net $ 27$ 41 $ 59$ 46 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 betweenOtis and our former parent, UTC, in the prior year. The decrease in Interest expense (income), net of$(14) million in the quarter endedJune 30, 2021 , compared to the same period in 2020, was primarily driven by lower interest expense as a result of the debt refinancing and debt repayments during 2021 and 2020. The increase in Interest expense (income), net of$13 million for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 , compared to the same period in 2020, was primarily driven by a full six months impact of interest expense on the external debt associated with the Separation, which was not outstanding for the full six months endedJune 30, 2020 , offset by the favorable activity noted above. The average interest rate on our external debt for the quarter and six months endedJune 30, 2021 is 2.3% and 2.4%, respectively and for the same periods in 2020 is 2.5%.

Income Taxes Quarter Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 Effective tax rate 28.8 % 29.1 % 27.4 % 33.4 % The decrease in the effective tax rate for the quarter endedJune 30, 2021 is primarily due to a tax benefit related to the incorporation of TCJA tax regulations that were enacted in the third quarter of 2020, partially offset by an income tax settlement related to the Separation. In addition, the decrease in the effective tax rate for the six months endedJune 30, 2021 is also 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, as well as 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 toOtis ' pre-Separation tax attributes 36 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents recorded in the quarter endedMarch 31, 2021 .

Previously, we presented and discussed the percentage change in segment operating profit between periods using organic/operational profit, which excluded the impact of foreign currency translation, acquisitions and divestitures and restructuring costs. We are now presenting and discussing the change in the total dollar amount of segment operating profit and the percentage change in operating profit margin between periods. There is no change in the amounts of operating profit that we have previously disclosed. We will continue to use the same key metrics to explain the changes in our operating performance that we previously used. For example, as discussed below, the drivers of the changes in the second quarter relative to the prior year quarter are volume, rate drivers, selling general and administrative expense, foreign exchange and restructuring which are consistent with what we have disclosed in the past where applicable. In addition, we will discuss the impact of foreign currency translation, acquisitions and divestitures and restructuring to the extent they are meaningful to understanding our performance. We believe this changed approach aligns better with how we measure our performance. 38 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents New Equipment The New Equipment segment designs, manufactures, sells and installs a wide range of passenger and freight elevators, as well as escalators and moving walkways in residential and commercial buildings and infrastructure projects.

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 ofJune 30, 2021 andDecember 31, 2020 , the amount of such restricted cash was approximately$21 million and$15 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 ofJune 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.

Aggregate Principal Issuance Date Description of Debt Balance March 11, 2021 Japanese Yen Notes (¥21,500 million principal value) $ 199 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. 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 theU.S. For the remainder of the Company's undistributed international earnings, unless tax effective to repatriate, we will continue to permanently reinvest these earnings.
