The Idea… …our Product… …and its Potential

� Lack of water security solutions in the market

• 54% of consumers in Germany experienced water damage; 67% would like to purchase a water security system and only 3% own one

• Lack of products combining detection and protection via shut-off

� Leverage GROHE brand credibility in water management solutions to enter Smart Home

� Expand GROHE offer to intelligent, value-adding services for B2B and B2C

� Build GROHE Ondus app platform to become ‘the Google of Water’

� Leverage GROHE’s installer base to scale Sense Guard

� Contribute to water saving

� Monetize collected data

� Exploit Ondus App and cloud as modern infrastructure to further develop other GROHE products

GROHE Sense

Smart water sensor to detect leaked water

TRANSFORM TO AN ASSET-LIGHT MODEL2

CURRENTASSET-RICH MODEL

� Mass production of limited items is only appropriate for fast-growing markets

� Differentiate with production capacity and logistics/sales network

� Risk of prioritizing products we can make, rather than what end users want/need (manufacturer’s convenience)

� Allocate more managerial resources to design, development, and planning

� Differentiate by leveraging design capability, strong IP, and brand power

� Launch attractive products and deliver faster to the market

� Achieve high profitability

� Started trialing this approach across various locations, e.g. US and Japan

Build a structure that supports the launch of differentiated products in a shorter cycle

Phase III – Beyond MTP:

Next Stage to Deliver Sustainable Revenue Growth

�Housing and water technology is an industry that demonstrates significant growth opportunities, in line with the growing global middle class population

� It is also an industry where it remains important to own the assets rather than being shared services

� If we are able to deliver differentiated products and services, we can expect revenue growth

LIXIL Group H1 Key Performance Highlights

Revenue up 1.7% YoY to JPY809.9bn(1)

� Driven by organic growth despite impact from divestment and deconsolidation

� LWT overall shows strong performance following Q1. Revenue especially in Japan shows favorable growth both

for new housing and renovation

Core earnings decreased 4.5% YoY to JPY40.7bn(1)

� Due to increase in IT-related costs in Japan and increase in marketing and advertising expenses

� Marketing activities supported continued strong sales of LWT Japan and LKT Japan

Profit for the quarter attributable to owners of the parent was JPY 12.8bn (-JPY11.3bn YoY)

� Due to absence of one-off positive impact from foreign-currency denominated debt conversion recognized in

last year (-JPY11.0bn) and loss for the quarter from discontinued operations

(after tax: -JPY11.0bn)(2) based on a decision making of transfer of shares of Permasteelisa S.p.A

� Decrease in interest expense due to debt repayment (+JPY3.0bn)

� Impact of IPO of LIXIL VIVA in April 2017 leading to decrease of attributable profits (-JPY1.7bn)

(1) Continuing operations basis

(2) Amount of loss after tax recognized by measurement of the assets and liabilities of Permasteelisa S.p.A. and its subsidiaries at fair value and profit/loss from

operations after tax

Results in line with H1 forecasts
