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 the ranges for Adjusted
EBITDA and free cash flow we expect to achieve this 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 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.

INCOME STATEMENT RECONCILIATION TO ADJUSTED
EBITDA
16
(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
enhance the visibility of the underlying operating performance of the Company. 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 impact of metal price lag is
now reported as a separate line item in this reconciliation. Segment income for all prior periods presented has been updated to reflect this change.

(A) Effective in the second quarter of fiscal 2018, management clarified the definition of “Free cash flow” (a non-GAAP measure) to reduce "Proceeds on the sale of assets, net of transaction
fees and hedging" by cash income taxes to further enable users of the financial statements to understand cash generated internally by the Company. This change does not impact the
condensed consolidated financial statements or significantly impact prior periods. In addition, this line item includes the proceeds from the sale of shares in Ulsan Aluminum Ltd., to Kobe
Steel Ltd. during the three months ended December 31, 2017 in the amount of $314 million. This line item also includes "Outflows from the sale of a business, net of transaction fees,"
which is comprised of cash of $13 million held by ALCOM, which was a consolidated entity sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. We expect additional cash taxes and
transaction fees related to Ulsan Aluminum Ltd. of approximately $41 million and $2 million, respectively, to be paid during the remainder of fiscal 2018.
