Management’s own words, often on a non-GAAP, constant-currency, or adjusted basis — so these can differ from the GAAP figures above (e.g. constant-currency revenue growth excludes currency swings).
Otis reported Q1 FY26 organic sales up 1%, with Service up 5% and New Equipment down 5%. Adjusted EPS declined 3%, impacted by service margin contraction of 160 basis points from investments, mix, and Middle East costs. Repair growth accelerated to 10% as planned, and modernization backlog remained at record levels up 30%. Americas NE orders grew 20%+ for the seventh consecutive quarter. EPS guidance was narrowed to $4.20-$4.24 with the high end lowered. Service excellence investments were showing retention improvement.
