Otis Worldwide Corporation (OTIS) Had A Tough Quarter & China Was Horrible, Says Jim Cramer
Otis Worldwide Corporation (NYSE:OTIS) is an industrial equipment company that sells elevators and other products. Its shares have lost 6.6% year-to-date, primarily on the back of a stunning 14.7% dip in July after the firm's $3.6 billion in revenue for the second quarter fell short of analyst estimates of $3.7 billion. Crucially, investors were also worried about Otis Worldwide Corporation (NYSE:OTIS) exposure to China and the fact that its China sales dipped by 20%. Cramer admitted that the firm had a bad quarter:
'I had Judy Marks on, they had a very tough quarter. China was really, really horrible.'
Cramer previously discussed Otis Worldwide Corporation (NYSE:OTIS)'s China exposure as well:
'Otis, look I'm, Judy Marks is going to come on Mad Money, and she has held in and done great things. And they've had a lot of service revenue, including China. She'd tell you over and over again that that business remains very strong. So I have to find out more, that was a very tough hit. Very good company. That's a spinoff of United Technologies.
While we acknowledge the potential of OTIS as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.

Coupled with our continued focus on cost discipline and operational excellence, this resulted in impressive margin expansion for the quarter. Turning to the first half of the year, growth platforms, cost discipline as well as our leadership of the North America corn and soybean market helped us deliver results that exceeded our expectations. While we continue to navigate a fluid macro environment, we are raising our full year guidance as a result of the strength of our global business and the setup for our Latin American business in the second half. This stronger view of 2025 also underscores our confidence in delivering our 2027 financial framework, and in the value our business offers, both in the short- and long-term." Chuck MagroChief Executive Officer _________________________________________________________________________ Summary of Second Quarter 2025For the second quarter ended June 30, 2025, net sales increased 6% versus the same period last year. Organic1 sales increased 7%. Volume was up 6% versus prior year on growth in both Crop Protection and Seed. Crop Protection volume increased 11% over the prior year driven primarily by Latin America on demand for new products, fungicides, spinosyns, and biologicals. Seed volume increased 3% versus prior year due primarily to increased corn area and share gains in North America. Price was up 1% versus prior year, reflecting higher Seed pricing, partially offset by competitive price dynamics in Crop Protection, primarily in Latin America. GAAP income from continuing operations after income taxes was $1.38 billion in second quarter of 2025 compared to $1.06 billion in second quarter of 2024. Operating EBITDA1 for the second quarter of 2025 was $2.16 billion, up 13% compared to prior year, translating into approximately 215 basis points of Operating EBITDA1 margin improvement.2Q 2Q % % ($ in millions, except where noted) 2025 2024 Change Organic1 Change Net Sales $6,456 $6,112 6 % 7 % North America $4,629 $4,400 5 % 6 % EMEA $747 $673 11 % 13 % Latin America $672 $650 3 % 11 % Asia Pacific $408 $389 5 % 6 % 1H 1H % % ($ in millions, except where noted) 2025 2024 Change Organic1 Change Net Sales $10,873 $10,604 3 % 5 % North America $6,839 $6,487 5 % 6 % EMEA $2,224 $2,261 (2) % 3 % Latin America $1,114 $1,165 (4) % 6 % Asia Pacific $696 $691 1 % 3 % Seed SummarySeed net sales were $4.54 billion in the second quarter of 2025, up from $4.33 billion in the second quarter of 2024. The sales increase reflects a 3% increase in volume, a 3% increase in price and a 1% unfavorable currency impact. Volume growth in the quarter reflects increased corn area and share gains in North America, partially offset by lower soybean area in North America and just-in-time seed purchases in Argentina, shifting sales to the second half. The increase in price is due primarily to demand for top technology and increased out-licensing income. Unfavorable currency impacts were led by the Canadian Dollar. Segment operating EBITDA was $1.86 billion in the second quarter of 2025, up 10% from the second quarter of 2024. Price execution and market share gains in North America, product mix, reduction of net royalty expense, and ongoing cost and productivity actions more than offset increased compensation and research expense, and the unfavorable impact of currency.

The sales increase reflects a 3% increase in price and a 2% increase in volume, partially offset by a 3% unfavorable currency impact. Price gains in most regions, led by North America, demonstrate demand for top technology and the strength of the portfolio, coupled with increased out-licensing income. Volume growth was driven primarily by increased corn area and share gains in North America, partially offset by reduced 2024/2025 corn area and just-in-time seed purchases in Argentina, as well as lower soybean area in North America. Unfavorable currency impacts were led by the Brazilian Real and the Canadian dollar. Segment operating EBITDA was $2.71 billion for the first half of 2025, up 11% from the same period of 2024.

The sales increase over the prior period reflects an 11% increase in volume, partially offset by a 2% price decline and a 1% unfavorable impact from currency. The increase in volume was driven primarily by Latin America on demand for new products, fungicides, spinosyns, and biologicals. The price decline was primarily due to the competitive pricing environment in Latin America, partially offset by North America price increases. Unfavorable currency impacts were led by the Brazilian Real. Segment operating EBITDA was $334 million in the second quarter of 2025, up 31% from the second quarter of 2024.

The sales increase reflects an 8% increase in volume, partially offset by a 2% decline in price and a 3% unfavorable impact from currency. The price decline was primarily due to market dynamics in Latin America. The increase in volume was driven by demand for new products, fungicides and biologicals. Unfavorable currency impacts were led by the Brazilian Real and the Turkish Lira. Segment operating EBITDA was $711 million for the first half of 2025, up 26% from the same period last year. Raw material deflation, productivity savings, and volume growth more than offset the unfavorable impact of currency, price pressure, and higher compensation and bad debt expense in SG&A.

Global corn area is up in 2025, with a five percent increase in North America, driven by favorable corn economics relative to soybeans and other crops. Expectations for a large production year in 2025 and trade uncertainty have pressured grain prices in most major growing regions. However, the global corn stocks-to-use ratio for the 2025/2026 crop year is still expected to be at its lowest point in over a decade. In Crop Protection, our latest view of the market for the full year continues to be a "flattish" environment, with volume gains offset by pricing headwinds. For Corteva's Crop Protection business, we are expecting full-year double-digit volume gains in excess of low-single-digit pricing headwinds from broad-based portfolio gains, including new products and biologicals. As it pertains to ongoing tariff negotiations around the world, we are not expecting a material net impact on our full-year 2025 results given policies in place today. Global grain and oilseed demand is not expected to decline, regardless of any changes in trade flows. As a result of its strong first half performance and expectations for modest growth in the second half, the Company increased full-year 2025 guidance3 with net sales expected to be in the range of $17.6 billion to $17.8 billion, growth of ~5% at the mid-point. Operating EBITDA1 is expected to be $3.75 billion to $3.85 billion, growth of 13% at the mid-point. Operating EPS1 is expected to be $3.00 to $3.20 per share, growth of 21% at the mid-point. The Company expects to repurchase approximately $1.0 billion of shares in 2025. The Company is not able to reconcile its forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures, to its most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, as it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty items outside of its control, such as Significant Items, without unreasonable effort.

A detailed discussion of some of the significant risks and uncertainties which may cause results and events to differ materially from such forward-looking statements is included in the "Risk Factors" section of Corteva's Annual Report on Form 10-K, as modified by subsequent Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K. Regulation G (Non-GAAP Financial Measures)This earnings release includes information that does not conform to U.S. GAAP and are considered non-GAAP measures. These measures may include organic sales, organic growth (including by segment and region), operating EBITDA, operating earnings (loss) per share, and base income tax rate. Management uses these measures internally for planning and forecasting, including allocating resources and evaluating incentive compensation. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures best reflect the ongoing performance of the Company during the periods presented and provide more relevant and meaningful information to investors as they provide insight with respect to ongoing operating results of the Company and a more useful comparison of year over year results. These non-GAAP measures supplement the Company's U.S. GAAP disclosures and should not be viewed as an alternative to U.S. GAAP measures of performance. Furthermore, such non-GAAP measures may not be consistent with similar measures provided or used by other companies. Reconciliations for these non-GAAP measures to U.S. GAAP are provided in the Selected Financial Information and Non-GAAP Measures starting on page A-5 of the Financial Statement Schedules. Corteva is not able to reconcile its forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to its most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures, as it is unable to predict with reasonable certainty items outside of the Company's control, such as significant items, without unreasonable effort. For significant items reported in the periods presented, refer to page A-10 of the Financial Statement Schedules. Beginning January 1, 2020, the Company presents accelerated prepaid royalty amortization expense as a significant item. Accelerated prepaid royalty amortization represents the non-cash charge associated with the recognition of upfront payments made to Monsanto in connection with the Company's non-exclusive license in the United States and Canada for Monsanto's Genuity® Roundup Ready 2 Yield® and Roundup Ready 2 Xtend® herbicide tolerance traits. Due to the ramp-up of Enlist E3TM, Corteva significantly reduced the volume of products with the Roundup Ready 2 Yield® and Roundup Ready 2 Xtend® herbicide tolerance traits beginning in 2021, with expected minimal use of the trait platform thereafter. In 2023 and 2024, the company committed to restructuring activities to optimize the Crop Protection network of manufacturing and external partners, which are expected to be substantially complete in 2026. The company expects to record approximately $150 million to $165 million net pre-tax restructuring charges during 2025 for these activities. Organic sales is defined as price and volume and excludes currency and portfolio and other impacts, including significant items. Operating EBITDA is defined as earnings (loss) (i.e., income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes) before interest, depreciation, amortization, non-operating benefits (costs), foreign exchange gains (losses), and net unrealized gain or loss from mark-to-market activity for certain foreign currency derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting, excluding the impact of significant items. Non-operating benefits (costs) consists of non-operating pension and other post- employment benefit (OPEB) credits (costs), tax indemnification adjustments, and environmental remediation and legal costs associated with legacy businesses and sites. Tax indemnification adjustments relate to changes in indemnification balances, as a result of the application of the terms of the Tax Matters Agreement, between Corteva and Dow and/or DuPont that are recorded by the Company as pre-tax income or expense. Operating earnings (loss) per share is defined as "earnings (loss) per common share from continuing operations - diluted" excluding the after-tax impact of significant items, the after-tax impact of non-operating benefits (costs), the after-tax impact of amortization expense associated with intangible assets existing as of the Separation from DowDuPont, and the after-tax impact of net unrealized gain or loss from mark-to-market activity for certain foreign currency derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting. Although amortization of the Company's intangible assets is excluded from these non-GAAP measures, management believes it is important for investors to understand that such intangible assets contribute to revenue generation. Amortization of intangible assets that relate to past acquisitions will recur in future periods until such intangible assets have been fully amortized. Any future acquisitions may result in amortization of additional intangible assets. Net unrealized gain or loss from mark-to-market activity for certain foreign currency derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting represents the non-cash net gain (loss) from changes in fair value of certain undesignated foreign currency derivative contracts. Upon settlement, which is within the same calendar year of execution of the contract, the realized gain (loss) from the changes in fair value of the non-qualified foreign currency derivative contracts will be reported in the relevant non-GAAP financial measures, allowing quarterly results to reflect the economic effects of the foreign currency derivative contracts without the resulting unrealized mark to fair value volatility. Base income tax rate is defined as the effective income tax rate less the effect of exchange gains (losses), significant items, amortization of intangibles (existing as of Separation), mark-to-market (gains) losses on certain foreign currency contracts not designated as hedges, and non-operating (benefits) costs. ® TM Corteva Agriscience and its affiliated companies. 8/6/2025 View original content to download multimedia: SOURCE Corteva Agriscience Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data
