Elevator Service Organic Sales Growth measures the year-over-year change in Service sales excluding foreign-currency translation and acquisitions, divestitures, and other scope effects under the issuer's definition.

Otis reported 9% Service organic sales growth in Q2 2026.

Why it matters

Organic growth helps separate maintenance, repair, modernization, pricing, and volume momentum from translation and portfolio changes.

Investor caution

Organic sales is an issuer-defined non-GAAP growth measure and is not standardized across peers.

Part of the Elevator Service & Installation Economics

Connect installed-base service growth, modernization demand, new-equipment cyclicality, segment profitability, and orders/backlog visibility to understand elevator economics.

How the model fits together
  • Recurring service and modernization growth: Service sales combine maintenance, repair, and modernization economics. Organic Service growth separates operating momentum from currency and scope effects, while maintenance and repair growth and modernization growth distinguish recurring installed-base activity from larger upgrade projects.
  • Service versus new-equipment profitability: Service and New Equipment sales pair with their respective segment operating profit and margin measures. Reading the two segments together highlights the economic contrast between installed-base aftermarket activity and project-driven new installations without treating either segment margin as consolidated company margin.
  • Orders, backlog, and future installation visibility: Modernization and New Equipment orders are earlier demand indicators, while backlog represents ordered work not yet completed. Constant-currency backlog growth separates underlying booked-work changes from translation, and none of these pipeline measures should be treated as current revenue or guaranteed conversion.
