©2013Novelis Inc. 26 1) Metal Price Lag Net of Related Hedges: On certain sales contracts we experience timing differences on the pass through of changing aluminum prices from our suppliers to our customers. Additional timing differences occur in the flow of metal costs through moving average inventory cost values and cost of goods sold. This timing difference is referred to as Metal Price Lag. We have a risk management program in place to minimize the impact of this “lag”. 2) Foreign Currency Remeasurement Net of Related Hedges: All Balance Sheet accounts not denominated in functional currency are remeasured every period to the period end exchange rates. This impacts our profitability. Like Metal Price Lag, we have a risk management program in place to minimize the impact of such remeasurement. 3) Purchase Accounting: Following our acquisition, the consideration and transaction costs paid by Hindalco in connection with the transaction were “pushed down” to us and were allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. These allocations are amortized over periods, impacting our profitability. Explanation of Other Income (Expense) in Adjusted EBITDA


 
©2013Novelis Inc. 27 Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation contains the following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow Before CapEx, Net Income (Loss) Excluding Certain Items and Liquidity. We think that these measures are helpful to investors in measuring our financial performance and liquidity and comparing our performance to our peers. However, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled non- GAAP financial measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP financial measures. We have included reconciliations of each of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure. In addition, a more detailed description of these non-GAAP financial measures used in this presentation, together with a discussion of the usefulness and purpose of such measures, is included below. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA consists of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA further adjusts EBITDA for unrealized (gains) losses on change in fair value of certain derivative instruments, impairment of goodwill, impairment charges on long- lived assets, gains (losses) on extinguishment of debt, adjustment to include proportional consolidation, restructuring charges, and gains or losses on disposals of property, plant and equipment and businesses and certain other costs. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are measures commonly used in the company’s industry, and the company presents EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to enhance investors’ understanding of the company’s operating performance. Novelis believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are operating performance measures, and not liquidity measures, that provide investors and analysts with a measure of operating results unaffected by differences in capital structures, capital investment cycles and ages of related assets among otherwise comparable companies. However, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA: •do not reflect the company’s cash expenditures or requirements for capital expenditures or capital commitments; •do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the company’s working capital needs; and •do not reflect any costs related to the current or future replacement of assets being depreciated and amortized. Management believes that investors’ understanding of the company’s performance is enhanced by including these non-GAAP financial measures as a reasonable basis for comparing the company’s ongoing results of operations. Many investors are interested in understanding the performance of the company’s business by comparing its results from ongoing operations from one period to the next and would ordinarily add back items that are not part of normal day-to-day operations of the company’s business. By providing these non-GAAP financial measures, together with reconciliations, the company believes it is enhancing investors’ understanding of its business and its results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well it is executing strategic initiatives. Additionally, a form of adjusted EBITDA, defined in the company’s senior secured credit facilities, 8.375% senior notes and 8.75% senior notes, is used for debt covenant compliance purposes, which has additional adjustments to Adjusted EBITDA which may decrease or increase adjusted EBITDA for purposes of these financial covenants. The company also uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA: •as measures of operating performance to assist the company in comparing its operating performance on a consistent basis because it removes the impact of items not directly resulting from the company’s core operations; •for planning purposes, including the preparation of the company’s internal annual operating budgets and financial projections; •to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of the company operational strategies; and •to calculate incentive compensation payments for the company’s key employees.


 
©2013Novelis Inc. 28 Non-GAAP Financial Measures Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Before CapEx. Free Cash Flow consists of: (a) net cash provided by (used in) operating activities; (b) plus net cash provided by (used in) investing activities and (c) less proceeds from sales of assets. Free Cash Flow before Cap Ex consists of: (a) Free Cash Flow, plus (b) capital expenditures. Management believes that Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Before CapEx are relevant to investors as they provide a measure of the cash generated internally that is available for debt service and other value creation opportunities. However, Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Before CapEx are not measurements of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and does not necessarily represent cash available for discretionary activities, as certain debt service obligations must be funded out of Free Cash Flow. In addition, the company's method of calculating Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Before CapEx may not be consistent with that of other companies. Net Income (Loss) Excluding Certain Items. Net Income (Loss) Excluding Certain Items adjusts net income (loss) for restructuring charges, gains (losses) on sale of assets held for sale, and the tax effect of such items. We adjust for items which may recur in varying magnitude which affect the comparability of the operational results of our underlying business. Novelis believes that Net Income (Loss) Excluding Certain Items enhances the overall understanding of the company's current financial performance. Specifically, management believes this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors by excluding or adjusting certain items, which impact the comparability of the company's core operating results. With respect to gains (losses) on sale of assets held for sale, and the tax effect of such certain items, management believes these excluded items are not reflective of fixed costs that the company believes it will incur over the long term. Management also adjusts for restructuring charges to enhance the comparability of the company’s operating results between periods. However, the company has recorded similar charges in prior periods. The company will incur additional restructuring charges in connection with ongoing restructuring initiatives announced previously and may also incur additional restructuring charges in connection with future streamlining measures. Net Income (Loss) Excluding Certain Items should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Liquidity. Liquidity consists of cash and cash equivalents plus availability under our committed credit facilities. In addition to presenting available cash and cash equivalents, management believes that presenting Liquidity enhances investors’ understanding of the liquidity that is actually available to the company. This financial measure should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
