The presentation and
comments made by Noranda’s management on the quarterly conference call
contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are
statements about future, not past, events and involve certain important
risks and uncertainties, any of which could cause the Company’s actual
results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking
statements, including, without limitation: the cyclical nature of the
aluminum industry and fluctuating commodity prices, which cause
variability in earnings and cash flows; a downturn in general economic
conditions, including changes in interest rates, as well as a downturn
in the end-use markets for certain of the Company’s products;
fluctuations in the relative cost of certain raw materials and energy
compared to the price of primary aluminum and aluminum rolled products;
the effects of competition in Noranda’s business lines; Noranda’s
ability to retain customers, a substantial number of which do not have
long-term contractual arrangements with the Company; the ability to
fulfill the business’s substantial capital investment needs; labor
relations (i.e. disruptions, strikes or work stoppages) and labor costs;
unexpected issues arising in connection with Noranda’s operations
outside of the United States; the ability to retain key management
personnel; and Noranda’s expectations with respect to its acquisition
activity, or difficulties encountered in connection with acquisitions,
dispositions or similar transactions. Forward-looking statements contain
words such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “should,” “seeks,”
“approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” or “anticipates” or
similar expressions that relate to Noranda’s strategy, plans or
intentions. All statements Noranda makes relating to its estimated and
projected earnings, margins, costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth
rates and financial results or to the Company’s expectations regarding
future industry trends are forward-looking statements. Noranda
undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any
forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events
or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law. Readers are cautioned
not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak
only as of the date on which they are made and which reflect
management's current estimates, projections, expectations or beliefs.
For a discussion of additional risks and uncertainties that may affect
the future results of Noranda, please see the Company’s filings with
theSecurities and Exchange Commission, including its Annual Report on

Appendices
This presentation contains non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC rules. We think that these measures are helpful to investors in measuring our financial performance and comparing our performance to our peers. However, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for U.S. GAAP financial measures. To the extent we discuss any non-GAAP financial measures on the earnings call, a reconciliation of each measure to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure are available in the appendices that follow and are filed as an Exhibit 99 to our Current Report on Form 8-K furnished to the SEC concurrent with the use of this presentationAppendices
