On November 9, 2015, Novelis Inc. issued a press release reporting the company’s financial results for its fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2015. 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, Adjusted EBITDA Excluding Metal Price Lag, Free Cash Flow, Free Cash Flow Before CapEx, Net Income (Loss) Excluding Special Items and Liquidity.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Excluding Metal Price Lag. EBITDA consists of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA further adjusts EBITDA for unrealized gains (losses) on change in fair value of derivative instruments, net, except for foreign currency remeasurement hedging activities; impairment of goodwill; gains (losses) on extinguishment of debt; adjustment to include proportional consolidation; restructuring and impairment charges; gains or losses on disposals of property, plant and equipment and businesses; and certain other costs. Adjusted EBITDA Excluding Metal Price Lag further adjusts Adjusted EBITDA for the impact of timing differences between the prices we pay for metal and the prices we charge our customers for metal. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are measures commonly used in the company’s industry. The company presents EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Excluding Metal Price Lag to enhance investors’ understanding of the company’s operating performance. Novelis believes that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Excluding Metal Price Lag are operating performance measures, and not liquidity measures, that provide 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.

However, neither EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA nor Adjusted EBITDA Excluding Metal Price Lag are measurements of financial performance under GAAP, and the company’s EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Excluding Metal Price Lag may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Excluding Metal Price Lag have important limitations as analytical tools, and investors should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of the company’s results as reported under GAAP. For example, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Excluding Metal Price Lag:

•    do not reflect the company’s cash expenditures or requirements for capital expenditures or capital commitments;

•    do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, the company’s working capital needs; and

•    do not reflect any costs related to the current or future replacement of assets being depreciated and amortized.

Management believes that investors’ understanding of the company’s performance is enhanced by including these non-GAAP financial measures as a reasonable basis for comparing the company’s ongoing results of operations. Many investors are interested in understanding the performance of the company’s business by comparing its results from ongoing operations from one period to the next and would ordinarily add back items that are not part of normal day-to-day operations of the company’s business. By providing these non-GAAP financial measures, together with reconciliations, the company believes it is enhancing investors’ understanding of its business and its results of operations, as well as assisting investors in evaluating how well it is executing strategic initiatives.

Additionally, a form of adjusted EBITDA, defined in the company’s senior secured credit facilities, 8.375% senior notes and 8.75% senior notes, is used for debt covenant compliance purposes, which has additional adjustments to Adjusted EBITDA which may decrease or increase adjusted EBITDA for purposes of these financial covenants.

The company also uses EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Excluding Metal Price Lag:

•    as measures of operating performance to assist the company in comparing its operating performance on a consistent basis because it removes the impact of items not directly resulting from the company’s core operations;

•    for planning purposes, including the preparation of the company’s internal annual operating budgets and financial projections;

•    to evaluate the performance and effectiveness of the company's operational strategies; and

•    to calculate incentive compensation payments for the company’s key employees.

Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Before CapEx. Free Cash Flow consists of: (a) net cash provided by (used in) operating activities; (b) plus net cash provided by (used in) investing activities and (c) less proceeds from sales of assets. Free Cash Flow before Cap Ex consists of: (a) Free Cash Flow, plus (b) capital expenditures. Management believes that Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Before CapEx are relevant to investors as they provide a measure of the cash generated internally that is available for debt service and other value creation opportunities. However, Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Before CapEx are not measurements of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and do not necessarily represent cash available for discretionary activities, as certain debt service obligations must be funded out of Free Cash Flow. In addition, the company's method of calculating Free Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow Before CapEx 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, 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, 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, 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 will 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 U.S. 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 U.S. GAAP.

All information in the news release and the presentation materials speak as of the date thereof, and Novelis does not assume any obligation to update said information in the future.

Novelis Reports Second Quarter of Fiscal Year 2016 Results

Strategic portfolio shift towards premium products delivering results

Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2016 Highlights

• Net loss of $13 million; excluding special items, net income $25 million

• Adjusted EBITDA excluding metal price lag of $236 million, up7% YoY, up 11% versus Q1

• Record global FRP shipments of 788 kilotonnes up 3% YoY and versus Q1

• Record automotive shipments up 59% YoY, up 6% versus Q1

• Generated $140 million of free cash flow

ATLANTA, November 9, 2015 – Novelis, the world leader in aluminum rolling and recycling, today reported a net loss of $13 million for second quarter of fiscal year 2016.  Excluding tax-effected special items, the company reported net income of $25 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 compared to $36 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2015.

Excluding the impact of metal price lag in both periods, Adjusted EBITDA was $236 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2016, upseven percent compared to $221 million in the prior year. The increase was driven by higher shipments of premium automotive and beverage can sheet, partially offset by less favorable recycling benefits due to lower aluminum prices as compared to the prior year. Current year results also reflect higher costs associated with the start-up and support of new automotive finishing and recycling capacity. However, the company has made good progress reducing new asset start-up costs on a sequential basis. Adjusted EBITDA excluding metal price lag increased eleven percent in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 from $212 million reported in the first quarter of fiscal 2016, primarily driven by higher shipments, better product mix and lower start-up costs.

"Our focus on growing premium can, automotive and high-end specialty shipments, managing costs and reducing working capital is delivering results," said Steve Fisher, President and Chief Executive Officer for Novelis. "We are leveraging new assets, reducing start-up costs, and building momentum in our expanded automotive and can sheet businesses. We are now commissioning our two most recently constructed automotive lines in the US and Germany and solidifying our position as the global leader in aluminum flat rolled products."

Shipments of rolled aluminum products totaled a record 788 kilotonnes in the second quarter of fiscal 2016, a three percentincrease compared to 765 kilotonnes reported in the prior year period. However, sharply lower average aluminum prices and local market premiums drove a twelve percent decrease in revenues to $2.5 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 compared to $2.8 billion in fiscal 2015. 

Average local market metal premiums continued to decline in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 creating negative metal price lag of $54 million. Although the company uses derivatives contracts to minimize the price lag associated with LME base aluminum prices, it does not use derivative contracts for local market premiums, as adequate cost-effective hedges are not available. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of fiscal 2016 including metal price lag was $182 million.

	9/30/2015		9/30/2014
Free Cash Flow	$	140	$	(108	)
Capital Expenditures	$	75	$	126

The company generated $140 million of free cash flow in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 as compared to negative $108 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2015. The increase over the prior year was primarily a result of lower capital expenditures, as well as a reduction in working capital attributed to lower metal prices and the company's focus on reducing inventory levels. The company continues to expect positive free cash flow for the full fiscal year after spending approximately $400 million on capital expenditures.

As of September 30, 2015, the company reported solid liquidity of $968 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and the presentation slides for the earnings call contain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC rules. We believe 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. To the extent we discuss any non-GAAP financial measures on the earnings call, a reconciliation of each measure to the most directly comparable GAAP measure will be available in the presentation slides filed as Exhibit 99.2 to our Current Report on Form 8-K furnished to the SEC concurrently with the issuance of this press release. In addition, the Form 8-K includes a more detailed description of each of these non-GAAP financial measures, together with a discussion of the usefulness and purpose of such measures.

Attached to this news release are tables showing the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, Reconciliation to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA excluding Metal Price Lag, Free Cash Flow, Reconciliation to Liquidity, Reconciliation to Net (Loss) Income excluding Special Items, and Segment Information.

Reconciliation from Net (Loss) Income Attributable to our Common Shareholder to Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA excluding Metal Price Lag (unaudited)

Novelis is providing disclosure of the reconciliation of reported non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable financial measures on a GAAP basis. To better analyze underlying operational results, the following table also shows Adjusted EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA excluding the impact of non-operational Metal Price Lag. 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.

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. Although we use derivatives contracts to minimize the price lag associated with LME base aluminum prices, we do not use derivative contracts for local market premiums, as these are not prevalent in the market. 2) Foreign currency remeasurement net of related hedges: All balance sheet accounts not denominated in the functional currency are remeasured every period to the period end exchange rates. This impacts our profitability. Like metal price lag, we have a risk management program in place to minimize the impact of such remeasurement.
