On February 5, 2019, Novelis Inc. issued a press release reporting the company’s financial results for its fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2018. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. A copy of investor presentation materials relating to such financial results is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. The presentation materials use the following non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Before Capital Expenditures, Net Income (Loss) Excluding Special Items and Liquidity.

Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA consists of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA further adjusts EBITDA by measures commonly used in the company’s industry. The company defines Adjusted EBITDA as: earnings before (a) “Depreciation and amortization”; (b) “Interest expense and amortization of debt issuance costs”; (c) interest income; (d) "Unrealized gains (losses) on change in fair value of derivative instruments, net", except for foreign currency remeasurement hedging activities, which are included in segment income; (e) impairment of goodwill; (f) gain or loss on extinguishment of debt; (g) noncontrolling interests' share; (h) adjustments to reconcile our proportional share of "Adjusted EBITDA" from non-consolidated affiliates to income as determined on the equity method of accounting; (i) “Restructuring and impairment, net”; (j) gains or losses on disposals of property, plant and equipment and businesses, net; (k) other costs, net; (l) litigation settlement, net of insurance recoveries; (m) sale transaction fees; (n) provision or benefit for taxes on income (loss); (o) cumulative effect of accounting change, net of tax; (p) metal price lag; and (q) business acquisition and other integration costs. The company presents Adjusted EBITDA to enhance investors’ understanding of the company’s operating performance. Novelis believes that Adjusted EBITDA is an operating performance measure, and not a liquidity measure, that provides investors and analysts with a measure of operating results unaffected by differences in capital structures, capital investment cycles and ages of related assets among otherwise comparable companies.

Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Before Capital Expenditures. “Free cash flow” consists of: (a) “net cash provided by (used in) operating activities,” (b) plus "net cash provided by (used in) investing activities,” (c) plus cash used in the “Acquisition of assets under a capital lease”, and (d) less “proceeds from sales of assets and business, net of transaction fees, cash income taxes and hedging”. "Free cash flow before capital expenditures" consists of: (a) Free cash flow, plus (b) capital expenditures. Management believes Free cash flow and Free cash flow before capital expenditures are relevant to investors as they provide measures of the cash generated internally that is available for debt service and other value creation opportunities. Management also uses Free cash flow and Free cash flow before capital expenditures to measure the profitability and financial performance of our business. However, Free cash flow and Free cash flow before capital expenditures do not necessarily represent cash available for discretionary activities, as certain debt service obligations must be funded out of Free cash flow. Our method of calculating Free cash flow and Free cash flow before capital expenditures may not be consistent with that of other companies.

Net Income (Loss) Excluding Special Items. Net income (loss) excluding special items adjusts net income (loss) for restructuring and impairment charges, loss on extinguishment of debt, metal price lag, gains (losses) on sale of assets held for sale, gains (losses) on sale of a business, business acquisition and other integration related costs, and the tax effect of such items. We adjust for items which may recur in varying magnitude which affect the comparability of the operational results of our underlying business. Novelis believes that net income (loss) excluding special items enhances the overall understanding of the company's current financial performance. Specifically, management believes this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful information to investors by excluding or adjusting certain items, which impact the comparability of the company's core operating results. With respect to gains (losses) on sale of assets held for sale, gains (losses) on sale of a business, business acquisition and other integration related costs, and the tax effect of such special items, management believes these excluded items are not reflective of fixed costs that the company believes it will incur over the long term. Management also adjusts for loss on extinguishment of debt, metal price lag and restructuring and impairment charges to enhance the comparability of the company’s operating results between periods. However, the company has recorded similar charges in prior periods. The company may incur additional restructuring charges in connection with ongoing restructuring initiatives announced previously and may also incur additional restructuring and impairment charges in connection with future streamlining measures. The company may also incur additional impairment charges unrelated to restructuring initiatives. Net income (loss) excluding special items should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, results prepared in accordance with US GAAP.

Liquidity. Liquidity consists of cash and cash equivalents plus availability under our committed credit facilities. In addition to presenting available cash and cash equivalents, management believes that presenting Liquidity enhances investors’ understanding of the liquidity that is actually available to the company. This financial measure should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, results prepared in accordance with US GAAP.
