“10-K Item 1A: 'approximately 71% of our 2025 net sales derived from international operations'”
“10-K Item 1A: 'New Equipment net sales in China representing approximately one fifth of our global New Equipment net sales and over half of our global New Equipment unit volume'”
The company's concentration profile is dominated by international geographic exposure, with China representing a distinct and meaningful component within that broader footprint. Approximately 71% of 2025 net sales were derived from international operations — a high-share, structural concentration by disclosed size. This reflects the inherently global nature of the elevator and escalator market: installation and service demand tracks commercial and residential construction activity worldwide, and the company's footprint spans many geographies. Currency translation, regional economic cycles, and country-specific construction trends are the primary risk channels through which this high international share affects reported results. Within the international footprint, the China new equipment market is a low-share structural exposure representing approximately one fifth of global New Equipment net sales and over half of global New Equipment unit volume, per the filing. The pipe-table presentation of China-specific revenue percentages constrains precise numerical citation, but the volume figure — over half of global New Equipment units — indicates that China accounts for a disproportionately large share of the unit-level business even if its revenue contribution relative to total net sales is smaller due to average selling prices. Slower construction activity or policy-driven demand adjustments in China can therefore affect unit volumes materially. Together, the profile presents a structurally global business with meaningful China exposure embedded within it. Monitoring international construction market conditions — particularly in China's new-build segment — alongside currency trends is the primary investor focus.
