BUSINESS OVERVIEW
Business Summary
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 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 2022 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 .
Recent Developments
Sale of
The ongoing conflict betweenRussia andUkraine has resulted in worldwide geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty, including volatile commodity markets, foreign exchange fluctuations, supply chain disruptions, increased risk of cyber incidents, reputational risk, increased operating costs (including fuel and other input costs), environmental, health and safety risks related to securing and maintaining facilities, additional sanctions and other regulations (including restrictions on the transfer of funds to and fromRussia ).
To the extent possible, we continue to operate our business in
As previously disclosed, inMarch 2022 we stopped taking new equipment orders inRussia and making new investments in the country, and reassessed our operations inRussia , which represented approximately 2% of our 2021 revenue and operating profit and approximately 1% of our six months endedJune 30, 2022 revenue and operating profit, comprised mostly of New Equipment. InJune 2022 , we entered into an agreement to sell our business inRussia to a third party, resulting in classification of the business' assets and liabilities as held for sale as ofJune 30, 2022 and recording an impairment loss of$18 million . OnJuly 27, 2022 , we completed the sale of our business inRussia to the third party. We recorded an impairment from the sale and conflict-related charges totaling$10 million and$28 million , primarily in Other expense (income), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the quarter and nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , respectively. See Note 6, "Business Acquisitions, Dispositions,Goodwill and Intangible Assets" for further details. 30 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents We cannot predict how the conflict will evolve. If the conflict continues for a significant time or expands to other countries, it could heighten certain risks disclosed in Item 1A "Risk Factors" in our 2021 Form 10-K , including but not limited to, adverse effects on macroeconomic conditions, including increased inflation, constraints on the availability of commodities, supply chain disruption and decreased business spending; cyber-incidents; disruptions to our or our business partners' global technology infrastructure, including through cyber-attack or cyber-intrusion; adverse changes in international trade policies and relations; claims, litigation and regulatory enforcement; our ability to implement and execute our business strategy; terrorist activities; our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations; reputational risk; and constraints, volatility, or disruption in the capital markets, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition. Consistent with our risk management process, the Otis Board of Directors and its Audit Committee have received numerous updates on the ongoing conflict betweenRussia andUkraine and have reviewed, and continue to review, with management the financial, operational, compliance, reputational and cyber risks associated therewith and related mitigation actions. The Otis Board of Directors oversaw the process of selling our business inRussia , including reviewing the terms and conditions thereof, and the Audit Committee approved the sale. The Otis Board of Directors continued to receive updates on the sale process until the completion of the sale, including with respect to the satisfaction of the closing conditions.
Zardoya Otis Tender Offer
As previously disclosed, the Company announced the Tender Offer to acquire all issued and outstanding shares ofZardoya Otis not owned by Otis, at an offer price of €7.07 per share in cash, after adjusting for dividends. The results of the Tender Offer were announced onApril 7, 2022 , with tenders of 45.49% of the shares outstanding accepted. The shares tendered to the Company were settled in cash onApril 12, 2022 for approximately €1.5 billion from the Company's restricted cash held in escrow, resulting in the Company owning 95.51% ofZardoya Otis . The acquisition and settlement of the remaining issued and outstanding shares not owned by the Company for approximately €150 million (based on the adjusted tender price of €7.07 per share) and the automatic delisting ofZardoya Otis shares occurred during the second quarter of 2022. See Note 1, "General" to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, for further details regarding this transaction and financing arrangements entered into in connection with the Tender Offer.
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 nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 and 2021. COVID-19 has had and could continue to have an impact on our business in the future, including impacts to overall financial performance during the remainder of 2022, 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; and
•Supplier and raw material 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.
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 18 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. As a result of our business inRussia being sold during the third quarter of 2022, the results of the operations inRussia are excluded from the organic volume changes and are reflected in Acquisitions and divestitures. See Note 6, "Business Acquisitions, Dispositions,Goodwill and Intangible Assets" to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, for further details.

Restructuring Costs Nine Months Ended September 30, (dollars in millions) 2022 2021 Restructuring costs $ 45$ 35 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 office 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
Most of the expected charges will require cash payments, which we have funded and expect to continue to fund with cash generated from operations. During the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , we had cash outflows of approximately$47 million related to the restructuring actions and expect to make cash payments of$58 million to complete the actions announced, which will be comprised of the utilization of existing restructuring accruals and$22 million of additional restructuring expenses to be recognized. We generally expect to achieve annual recurring savings within the two-year period subsequent to initiating the actions, including$65 million for the 2022 actions and$40 million for the 2021 actions, of which approximately$43 million was realized for the 2022 and 2021 actions during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 .

The effective tax rate for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 , is unchanged as a result of offsetting items, including the elimination of Base Erosion Anti Abuse Tax ("BEAT") in theU.S. , the release of a tax reserve related to a forward transfer pricing agreement with a European tax authority, the absence of a reduction in the deferred tax liability related to repatriation of foreign earnings recorded in the quarter endedMarch 31, 2021 , and the absence of a favorable income tax settlement as described above.
We anticipate some variability in the tax rate quarter to quarter from potential discrete items.

For more information on the impact of theZardoya Otis noncontrolling interest reclassification, see Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. 39 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents As ofSeptember 30, 2022 , we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately$1.0 billion , of which approximately 96% was held by the Company's foreign subsidiaries. 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 ofSeptember 30, 2022 andDecember 31, 2021 , the amount of such restricted cash was approximately$8 million and$1.9 billion , respectively, including cash held in escrow to fund the Tender Offer as ofDecember 31, 2021 . For information on the results of the Tender Offer and use of the cash held in escrow for the Tender Offer, see Note 1 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. 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 ofSeptember 30, 2022 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. There can be no assurance that we will continue to have access to the capital markets on terms acceptable to us. There were no long-term debt issuances for the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 . The Company redeemed the$500 million floating notes originally due in 2023 during the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2022 . For additional discussion of borrowings, see Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Company does not intend 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. We expect to fund our ongoing operating, investing and financing requirements mainly through cash flows from operations, available liquidity through cash on hand and available bank lines of credit and access to capital markets. OnMarch 9, 2022 , our Board of Directors revoked any remaining share repurchase authority under the prior share repurchase program and approved a new share repurchase program for up to$1 billion of Common Stock, of which$500 million had been utilized as ofSeptember 30, 2022 .
