Creating better experiences for people by improving the performance of water

delivery and efficiency is a competitive advantage for Kohler. The following

product innovations will be highlighted, among others, at the Kohler CES booth

(#5921):

    -- Anthem Smart Showering Valves and Controls simultaneously deliver

       different temperatures, pressures, and spray settings for each water

       outlet with the touch of a button. Rinsing with warm and cool water at

       the same time offers hydrotherapy benefits and creates a spa-like

       experience at home. Anthem digital smart showering systems control up

       to six water outlets and display how much water was used after each

       shower to help inform people about their consumption.

    -- Statement VES (Variable Eco-Spray) Showerhead and Handshower use up to

       40 percent less water than the typical 2.5gpm showerhead. Statement

       VES's low-flow spray is optimized to provide strong rinsing coverage

       while maintaining warmth – addressing two key shower experience needs.

       The Statement collection includes Kohler's Katalyst air-induction

       technology that infuses air into the water droplets to make them feel

       larger and retain heat longer for a more luxurious soak while using

       less water. Statement showerheads are compatible with existing pipes

       for an easy upgrade.

    -- H2Wise Smart Water Monitoring Systems, powered by Phyn monitors and

       tracks all household water usage, alerts users to leaks, and provides

       pre-freeze warnings. H2Wise(TM)+ features remote shutoff functionality

       in the case of a catastrophic leak. A new frozen pipe mitigation smart

       feature coming in Q2 2023, detects if pipes begin to freeze and

       instructs a KOHLER Konnect water fixture to briefly relieve pressure

       and minimize potential damage.

    -- Eir Smart Toilet offers convenient features such as heated seat,

       personal cleansing, auto open and close lid, dual flush, and smart

       automatic flush capabilities that meet the EPA's WaterSense criteria.

       The sleek design and multiple finish options expand the range of

       Kohler's smart toilet portfolio.

    -- Sprig is Kohler's new lifestyle brand, consisting of sleek shower

       infusion systems with natural shower infusion pods, versatile body and

       linen mists, and premium bath bombs that provide a peaceful escape

       through aromatherapy. Sprig infusion systems easily retrofit to an

       existing shower to diffuse aromatherapy into water, making it simple

       for people to elevate a daily routine into a moment of escape to

       enhance well-being.

    -- Alo tile by ANN SACKS, a Kohler company, is made from 50-70 percent

       recycled glass from discarded TV and PC screens and will be on display

       at CES.

As a 2023 CES Innovation Award honoree, Kohler's Stillness Infinity Experience

bath will make its on-site debut this year for attendees to see, smell, hear,

and feel the multi-sensory smart bathing experience that transforms the

bathroom into a sanctuary for relaxation and comfort.

Kohler is introducing Remote Diagnostics to provide the highest level of

customer care for trouble shooting products using the KOHLER Konnect mobile

app. It offers immediate feedback on the status of devices, step-by-step

instructions to diagnose and remedy issues, or the ability to transfer data and

connect people directly with a customer service representative for personalized

support. Remote Diagnostics is available now for Anthem smart showering and

PerfectFill smart bath filler, a 2022 CES Innovation Award honoree, and will be

an option for future KOHLER Konnect enabled products.
