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 are statements about future global growth in flat rolled products, our anticipated capital expenditures in fiscal year 2013, and our
expectations for demand recovery in fiscal year 2013.  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 metal 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; changes in the fair value of derivative
instruments; 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 principal credit agreement and other financing agreements; the effect of taxes and
changes in tax rates; and our 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, 2012 are specifically
incorporated by reference into this presentation.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
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 liquidity 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 GAAP financial measures.  We have included
reconciliations of each of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.  In addition, a more detailed description of these non-
GAAP financial measures used in this presentation, together with a discussion of the usefulness and purpose of such measures, is included as
Exhibit 99.2 to our Current Report on Form 8-K furnished to the SEC with our earnings press release.

Explanation of Other Income (Expenses)
Included in Adjusted EBITDA
1) Metal Price Lag Net of Related Hedges:
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. We have a risk management
program in place to minimize impact of this “lag”.
2) Foreign Currency Remeasurement Net of Related Hedges:
All non-functional currency denominated Working Capital and Debt gets remeasured every period by the period end
exchange
rates.
This
impacts
our
profitability.
Like
Metal
Price
Lag,
we
have
a
risk
management
program
in
place
to
minimize impact of such Remeasurement.
3) Purchase Accounting:
Following our acquisition, the consideration and transaction costs paid by Hindalco in connection with the transaction were
“pushed down”
to us and were allocated to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. These allocations are amortized
over periods, impacting our profitability.
