Safe Harbor Statement
Forward-looking statements
Statements made in this presentation which describe Novelis' intentions, expectations, beliefs or predictions may be
forward-looking statements within the meaning of securities laws. Forward-looking statements include statements preceded
by, followed by, or including the words "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "plans," "estimates," "projects," "forecasts," or
similar expressions. Examples of forward-looking statements in this presentation are statements about the company’s
expectations to generate $300 million to $350 million in free cash flow for the full fiscal year. Novelis cautions that, by their
nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty and that Novelis' actual results could differ materially from
those expressed or implied in such statements. We do not intend, and we disclaim, any obligation to update any forward-
looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Factors that could cause actual
results or outcomes to differ from the results expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, among other
things: changes in the prices and availability of aluminum (or premiums associated with such prices) or other materials and
raw materials we use; the capacity and effectiveness of our hedging activities; relationships with, and financial and operating
conditions of, our customers, suppliers and other stakeholders; fluctuations in the supply of, and prices for, energy in the
areas in which we maintain production facilities; our ability to access financing for future capital requirements; changes in
the relative values of various currencies and the effectiveness of our currency hedging activities; factors affecting our
operations, such as litigation, environmental remediation and clean-up costs, labor relations and negotiations, breakdown of
equipment and other events; the impact of restructuring efforts in the future; economic, regulatory and political factors within
the countries in which we operate or sell our products, including changes in duties or tariffs; competition from other
aluminum rolled products producers as well as from substitute materials such as steel, glass, plastic and composite
materials; changes in general economic conditions including deterioration in the global economy, particularly sectors in
which our customers operate; cyclical demand and pricing within the principal markets for our products as well as
seasonality in certain of our customers’ industries; changes in government regulations, particularly those affecting taxes,
environmental, health or safety compliance; changes in interest rates that have the effect of increasing the amounts we pay
under our credit facilities and other financing agreements; the effect of taxes and changes in tax rates; and our level of
indebtedness and our ability to generate cash. The above list of factors is not exhaustive. Other important risk factors
included under the caption "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016 are
specifically incorporated by reference into this presentation.

Income Statement Reconciliation To Adjusted EBITDA
Explanation of other income (expense) Included in adjusted EBITDA
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.
Although we use derivatives contracts to minimize the price lag associated with LME base aluminum prices, we do not use derivative contracts for local market premiums, as these are not
prevalent in the market.
2) Foreign currency remeasurement net of related hedges: All balance sheet accounts not denominated in the 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.
