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 including statements concerning our plan to complete a
joint venture transaction with Kobe Steel. 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 upcoming Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2017 are specifically incorporated by reference into this presentation.

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.
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.
