Otis Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: OTIS) announced its second quarter 2025 financial results on July 23, 2025, showcasing resilient operational performance amid challenging market conditions. This authoritative update highlights key financial metrics, strategic initiatives, and forward-looking projections that underscore Otis’s robust market position and growth trajectory.
Otis reported net sales of approximately \(3.6 billion for Q2 2025, with organic sales declining slightly by 1%. Despite this, adjusted operating profit increased by \)38 million, driven primarily by the Services segment, reflecting strong operational efficiency and pricing power. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) grew by approximately 15%, or $0.14 per share, supported by improved tax rates and minority interest benefits, offsetting foreign exchange and interest expense headwinds.
New Equipment Orders: Experienced an 11% decline in Q2, impacted by elevated interest rates in the Americas and economic softness in China. However, growth in EMEA (high-single digits) and Asia Pacific (low- to mid-single digits) partially offset these declines.
Services Segment: Continued robust growth with portfolio expansion above 4% for the seventh consecutive quarter. Modernization orders grew 14%, and the backlog increased 17% at constant currency, signaling strong future revenue visibility.
Infrastructure Projects: Notable projects include elevator and escalator installations at San Francisco International Airport, Stuttgart metro stations, and Shanghai Metro, reinforcing Otis’s leadership in urban infrastructure.
Otis launched the Gen3 Core elevator in North America, targeting the large two- to six-story building segment. This product leverages Otis’s proven Gen2 flat belt technology and integrates the Otis 1 IoT platform, enhancing operational efficiency and customer experience. Manufacturing is set to commence in Florence, South Carolina, with sales beginning in fall 2025.
Cash Flow and Debt: Otis generated strong free cash flow of $409 million in Q2 2025, reflecting 109% conversion of net income, and maintains a solid balance sheet with manageable long-term debt levels.
Outlook: The company raised its full-year organic sales growth guidance to 4.5%–6%, up from the previous 4%–6%, driven by strong service momentum. Adjusted operating profit growth is expected between \(155 million and \)175 million at constant currency, with margin expansions anticipated in both New Equipment and Services segments.
Otis’s Q2 2025 results align with themes from prior earnings calls, including sustained service portfolio growth, pricing discipline, and operational productivity improvements. The company has consistently emphasized backlog growth and modernization as key drivers of long-term value. Challenges such as regional economic softness and interest rate impacts have been acknowledged, with strategic responses including product innovation and geographic diversification.
Otis Worldwide Corporation demonstrates resilient financial health and strategic agility in Q2 2025, navigating macroeconomic headwinds while capitalizing on growth opportunities in services and infrastructure.
