OTIS--
Otis Worldwide Corporation (NYSE: OTIS) reported solid fourth quarter and full year 2024 results, with the company's strategic focus on Service and modernization driving consistent earnings growth and margin expansion. The company's strong performance is a testament to its effective capital allocation strategy, which includes share repurchases and investments in growth segments.
Otis' fourth quarter net sales increased 1.5% year over year, driven by a 7.6% increase in Service sales and a 7.8% increase in Service organic sales. The company's adjusted EPS increased 6.9% to $0.93, reflecting solid operational performance and a lower share count.

Otis' maintenance portfolio units increased 4.2% in the fourth quarter, reaching approximately 2.4 million units. The company's modernization backlog grew by 10% (13% at constant currency), driven by strong demand for modernization services and a robust backlog of new equipment orders.
Otis' capital allocation strategy has been instrumental in driving its financial performance. The company returned $1.0 billion to shareholders through share repurchases in 2024, taking year-to-date repurchases to $1.0 billion. Additionally, Otis' investments in its Service segment have driven mid-single-digit organic sales growth in the second quarter of 2024 and high single-digit growth in the fourth quarter, contributing to the company's overall adjusted profit margin expansion of 110 basis points and adjusted EPS growth of 15%.
Looking ahead, Otis expects organic sales to grow between 2% and 4% in 2025, with adjusted EPS of $4.00 to $4.10 and adjusted free cash flow of approximately $1.6 billion. The company's strong performance and positive outlook reflect its commitment to driving growth through its strategic focus on Service and modernization, as well as its effective capital allocation strategy.
In conclusion, Otis' solid fourth quarter and full year 2024 results, driven by its strategic focus on Service and modernization, demonstrate the company's ability to deliver consistent earnings growth and margin expansion.
