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. © 2018 Novelis 20
