opportunities, we stressed the proper application of these rules through real-
world examples and the sharing of past experiences among direct peers.
We completed our third annual Season of Safety, themed Control Is in Your
Hands, where we reinforced the company’s strong safety culture by sharing
best practices, hosting interactive workshops, recommitting to our life-saving
Cardinal Rules, and prioritizing ongoing training on safety procedures and
protocols. The 2022 season consisted of 24 organized global events that
included cross-functional participation. Our global events focus on our key
incident drivers with special focus on preventing fatal and serious injuries.
One way we engage our field colleagues is through a motivational group
training that gives both Otis colleagues and subcontractors an opportunity
to challenge one another and build knowledge around our safety program.
Overall, the program had over 30,000 participants in 2022 and included over
200,000 individual touchpoints with our colleagues and subcontractors.
We also launched a Field Training Center of Excellence (COE), which is
designed to educate our colleagues and field partners on rules and procedures
through continued global training programs. Currently, the COE is developing 2022 Season of Safety
a core training curriculum for mechanics and subcontractors, focused on
technical and safety training. In addition, we have promulgated Field Standard

It is imperative that Otis leadership reflects the colleagues, communities and customers we serve.
In 2022, we increased our female executive representation to 39.2%, a 3 point increase since 2021, aligned with our goal to close the executive gender gap by
2030 and consistent with our pledge to the Paradigm for Parity coalition. We also took the critical action of linking this goal to our executive STI compensation
program. The added performance multiplier can adjust the STI awards up or down 5% based on our progress toward achieving this goal. It is intended to drive
immediate near-term action. Below are some of the key initiatives we led in 2022 to drive results for a more diverse workforce. For additional initiatives on

TALENT DEVELOPMENT
Colleague development is a key pillar at Otis, and we are continually
expanding our development programs to attract and retain talent. For example,
we launched an external coaching program for a select group of female talent
in the Asia Pacific region with strong engagement and positive feedback.
We also strive to empower our colleagues to share ideas, develop new skills
and be lifelong learners. One of our signature programs is Otis University,
a global program that builds leadership and functional capabilities in Sales,
Field, Engineering and Major Projects. Another program is our Employee
Scholar Program, a notable point of pride, through which Otis sponsors

Goal: Award at least 20% of U.S. supplier spend annually to diverse suppliers
We work to prioritize diversity within our organization to ensure that our colleagues are representative of the
customers and communities we serve – and we seek to do business with suppliers who share this commitment.
In 2022, we surpassed our goal of directing 20% of our spend to diverse U.S.
suppliers – our second year in a row exceeding the goal. Contributing to
the increase in diverse supplier spend, this year we increased the number
of diverse suppliers in our roster by 10%.
We define diverse suppliers as those that are at least 51% owned by an
individual or group that is underrepresented (minority-, women-, veteran-,
LGBTQ+ or disability-owned), a small business and/or one that is operating
in an economically disadvantaged location based on U.S. Small Business
Administration definitions.
We strive to continue this trend in 2023 and beyond and will advance

reporting of our financial information determined under GAAP with certain non-GAAP financial information. The non-GAAP information presented provides
investors with additional useful information but should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for the related GAAP measures. Moreover, other companies
may define non-GAAP measures differently, which limits the usefulness of these measures for comparisons with such other companies. We encourage investors
to review our financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.
Adjusted net sales, organic sales, adjusted operating profit, adjusted diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures.
Adjusted net sales represents net sales (a GAAP measure), excluding significant items of a non-recurring and/or nonoperational nature (“other significant items”).
Organic sales represents consolidated net sales (a GAAP measure), excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, acquisitions and divestitures completed
in the preceding 12 months and other significant items. The company’s management believes organic sales is a useful measure in providing period-to-period
comparisons of the results of the company’s ongoing operational performance.
Adjusted operating profit represents income from continuing operations (a GAAP measure), excluding restructuring costs and other significant items.
Adjusted diluted EPS represents diluted earnings per share attributable to common shareholders (a GAAP measure), adjusted for the per share impact of
restructuring and other significant items, including related tax effects.
The company’s management believes that adjusted net sales, organic sales, adjusted operating profit and adjusted diluted EPS are useful measures in
providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of the company’s ongoing operational performance.
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents cash flow from operations (a GAAP measure) less capital expenditures. The company’s
management believes free cash flow is a useful measure of liquidity and an additional basis for assessing Otis’ ability to fund its activities, including the
financing of acquisitions, debt service, repurchases of common stock and distribution of earnings to shareholders.
A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the corresponding amounts prepared in accordance with GAAP appears in the tables on the previous pages.
These tables provide additional information as to the items and amounts that have been excluded from the adjusted measures.
