2 Thousands of techs % Energy We re Now Trying to Balance Four Variables DOE regulations require new system designs -35% -17% -37% 100% 80% 60% 40% % of top 50 retailers testing refrigerant alternatives 83% Now '17 Now '18 Now '20 Reach-In Ice Walk-In Dwindling workforce impacting maintenance costs 20% 0% $K 250 6% Component electronics are a larger spend K shortage HFC Optional Electronics Mechanical CO₂

3 % Market % energy Where We Are: Regulations and Refrigerants DOE energy Reach-In Ice Walk-In Supermarket CA Title % -17% -37% -25% 0 Today 2017 Today 2018 Today EPA refrigerants 50% 100% Low-GWP blend 100% Low-GWP blend Low-GWP blend Propane 40% Low-GWP blend Propane CO 2 Today 2019 Today Voluntary Today 2018 Today 2017 Redesigns Are Widespread. Results Require System-Wide Optimization.

6 Industry Preparedness to Meet Compliance Dates Over half have a plan in place and are prepared to meet compliance dates. This leaves quite a few companies not ready for the change. EPA Plan in Place (n=46) DOE Plan in Place (n=47) Not yet 44% Yes 52% Not yet 36% Yes 57% Level of Preparedness: 13% 52% 15% 17% Level of Preparedness: 15% 45% 19% 17% Very prepared Somewhat prepared Only slightly prepared Not at all prepared CR1. Does your company have a plan in place to meet the compliance dates? CR2. Overall, how would you rate your company on being prepared to meet the compliance dates? CR4. To the best of your knowledge, what percentage of your equipment currently passes regulations?

7 The Majority Expect Components Will Change Based On The Regulations Top-2 Box I expect some components will change 77% 12% 10% 2% 89% I expect some of our products to become obsolete 53% 10% 14% 10% 14% 63% I expect component costs to increase 51% 22% 20% 4% 4% 73% 5 = Completely Agree = Completely Disagree CP3. Considering the impacts of meeting the new regulations for the DOE and/or EPA, please indicate the extent to which you agree or disagree with each statement below.

8 Capital Investments Are Needed to Meet DOE Regulations 6% 11% 11% 40% Most foresee needing capital investments within their organizations to meet DOE regulations (72%). 32% Significant investments in capital Some investments in capital Limited investments in capital No investments in capital Don t know CP1. Would you say that DOE regulations are creating a need for your company to make

9 Resource Planning to Meet DOE Regulations 2% 6% 6% 17% 47% The majority plan to use existing internal sources and staff; however, nearly one quarter plan to hire additional staff in order to do so. 21% Planning to use existing internal resources and have the staff Planning to use internal resources, but need to hire Planning to use external resources for the redesigns, and feel confident about it Would like to use external resources, but unsure who to use Would like to use external resources, but have some reservations Does not apply to us CR10. In terms of resources needed for any redesigns in order to meet the new DOE energy efficiency standards, are you

10 Comprehensive Industry Involvement Active participant in industry associations Authorized wholesalers 55+ businesses 1,000+ locations Participation in agency meetings Original equipment mfg s of engagements each year Contractor calls and roundtables Educational services Educate 1,000 s of service techs/year End user calls and visits Speaking engagements and conferences

11 Our Approach to Innovation Will Need To Change Create and foster an environment of disruptive innovation that can help develop out of the box or no box thinkers and doers Encourage holistic thinking, with a global systems point of view that can lead to creative solutions for the ultimate user (customer pain points, today and in the future) Foster bold collaboration within Emerson, and with academia and industry partners that leads to novel ways to solve our problems Use stimulating real end-use scenarios that can help the thinking process and turn ideas into solutions that work Innovation which will make us a success in the future is different than the past
