Exhibit Contents
TOTO will exhibit the new lifestyle value realized by TOTO CLEANOVATION under the concept of“CLEANLINESS—Your Comfort, Our Passion.” We will also promote the improvement of quality oflife (QOL) brought about by CLEANLINESS, which is realized by TOTO’s SUSTAINABLE
PRODUCTS.

WASHLET:CLEANLINESS—For Your Body, For Your Space, For Your Toilet
WASHLET was launched in 1980 and has
established a culture of “washing the bottom” inJapan. It has steadily become popular in the U.S. aswell, through honest promotion activities since its
release in 1986. Further, demand for the product has
increased rapidly due to increasing hygieneawareness and the increasing amount of time spentat home, and it is reaching the beginning ofmainstream popularity.
With the goal of increasing the ubiquity of WASHLET in the U.S. and other countries,“CLEANLINESS—For Your Body” pursues a new common sense about toilets, the “Evolution fromwiping to washing,” its supporting “AIR-IN WONDER-WAVE” technology and the QOL brought aboutby these changes for a “Completely new and fresh clean experience.”
In addition, “CLEANLINESS—For Your Space” pursues a comfortable space projecting hospitality
with AUTO OPEN/CLOSE LID, HEATED SEAT, WARM AIR DRYING, DEODORIZER and otherfunctions, while “CLEANLINESS—For Your Toilet” pursues CLEAN SYNERGY, a cutting-edge
CLEANLINESS technology that maintains CLEANLINESS after every use.

TOUCHLESS products: CLEANLINESS—With TOUCHLESSTOTO has developed TOUCHLESS technologies
including TOUCHLESS FAUCET and AUTO
OPEN/CLOSE LID mainly from the viewpoint of watersaving and universal design. Since the COVID-19
pandemic began, hygiene through the use ofTOUCHLESS technologies which enable users tooperate devices without touching levers or buttons,
has been drawing attention, and inquiries about
products with TOUCHLESS technologies haveincreased.

For TOTO’s TOUCHLESS FAUCET, TOTO has improved the sensor technologies that increase
responsibility and prevent operation failures, the self-generation technologies using water flow forelectricity required for the sensors, and water discharge technologies that realize both comfortablewashing and water saving. It has also realized high-quality design by downsizing the sensors.

Plumbing products that support IoT: CLEANLINESS—With IoT
TOTO has set “Digital Innovation” as one of TOTO’s
Group-wide innovative activities in its Mid-Term
Management Issues (TOTO WILL2030 STAGE 1). It
employs IoT and other digital technologies inplumbing products through open innovation to create
new value that cannot be achieved by the company
alone.
TOTO U.S.A. proposes public toilets using IoT incooperation with Georgia-Pacific Professional(hereinafter, “GP PRO”).
By connecting TOTO’s TOUCHLESS FAUCET, TOUCHLESS SOAP DISPENSER, flush valves fortoilet basins and urinals, and other IoT-equipped products with GP PRO’s KOLO™ Smart Monitoring
System, it is possible to remotely monitor and analyze the conditions of toilets in real time to enable
maintenance. This realizes more effective facility management and the continual provision of ahygienic, comfortable space for users, resulting in improved customer satisfaction.

WELLNESS Toilet initiative: CLEANLINESS—For Your Wellness
The WELLNESS TOILET initiative, whose concept
was announced at CES 2021 last year, drew attention
from many people around the world.
Cutting-edge sensing technologies will make itpossible to understand and analyze users’ bodyconditionsanddeliver
wellness-related
recommendations to them via a smartphone app,simply by using a toilet as usual.
To realize the WELLNESS TOILET that TOTO is aiming to create, TOTO has been developing
products together with startups and research organizations that share the same ideas.
Keep your expectations high for TOTO’s WELLNESS TOILET initiative. It has been working on it
for some time, and its goal is to contribute to the health of people around the world through thecontinued evolution of SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTS which realize both clean and comfortable
lifestyles and the protection of the environment.
