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 expectation that
trucks, SUVs and EVs will continue to grow faster than the overall market. 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, 2017 are specifically incorporated by reference into this presentation.

Adjusted EBITDA 268 270 255 292 1,085 289
(A) Effective in the first quarter of fiscal 2018, management removed the impact of metal price lag from Adjusted EBITDA (Segment Income) in order to
provide more transparency and visibility for our stakeholders on the underlying performance of the business. 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. The company will
continue to report metal price lag as a separate line item in Reconciliation from Net Income (loss) attributable to our common shareholder to Adjusted
EBITDA. Segment information for all prior periods presented has been updated to reflect this change.
