In the last reported quarter, the company’s adjusted earnings topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 1.1%, while the net sales missed the same by 1.7%. On a year-over-year basis, the bottom line grew 5% while the top line tumbled 3%.
OTIS’ earnings surpassed the consensus mark in two of the trailing four quarters and missed on the remaining two occasions, with an average surprise of 0.2%.
Trend in Otis Worldwide’s Estimate Revision
For the quarter to be reported, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings per share (EPS) has trended upward to $1.02 from $1.01 in the past 30 days. However, the estimated figure indicates a decline of 3.8% from the year-ago adjusted EPS of $1.06.
The consensus mark for net sales is pegged at $3.68 billion, indicating 2.3% growth from the year-ago figure of $3.6 billion. (See the Zacks Earnings Calendar to stay ahead of market-making news.)
Key Factors to Note for OTIS’ Q2 Earnings
Sales
This leading elevator and escalator manufacturing, installation and service company’s second-quarter top line is likely to have gained year over year, driven by the increased contributions from the Service segment (which contributed 65.3% to first-quarter 2025 net sales). The Service segment is expected to have gained due to favorable market trends for maintenance and repair demand alongside modernization. The company’s focus on its modernization strategy has been boding well for its prospects and is likely to have added incremental value to its orders and backlog during the quarter, thus boosting the top line.
OTIS’ focus on acquisitions, product innovations and the integration of new technologies, driven by ongoing research and development efforts, is likely to have aided its performance.
However, weak performance in the New Equipment segment (which contributed 34.7% to first-quarter 2025 net sales) is likely to have restricted the top-line growth to some extent during the second quarter due to challenges in China and, to some extent, in the EMEA region (especially Europe).
For the second quarter, our model predicts the Service segment’s net sales to increase year over year by 4.7% to $2.28 billion, with New Equipment segment’s net sales declining 5.2% to $1.35 billion.
Margins
The bottom line of OTIS is expected to have decreased in the second quarter due to the ongoing inflationary pressures, primarily higher labor and material costs, witnessed in its Service segment, accompanied by lower volume and unfavorable mix in its New Equipment segment. Although the persisting market headwinds are concerning for the margins, favorable pricing, productivity and commodity tailwinds, along with leverage from improved contributions from the Service segment, are likely to have eased the negative impacts of the headwinds during the quarter to some extent.
We expect the adjusted operating margin in the New Equipment segment to decrease 220 basis points (bps) year over year to 5.5%, while the same for the Service segment is anticipated to inch up 10 bps to 24.8%.
Moreover, the selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses in the quarter are likely to have increased due to annual wage increases and higher restructuring costs. For the to-be-reported quarter, our model expects SG&A expenses (as a percentage of net sales) to expand year over year by 50 bps to 13%.
