 Forward-Looking and Other Information

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
NON-GAAP INFORMATION
INDUSTRY INFORMATION
Certain statements in this presentation are “forward-looking statements” within the
meaning of the federal securities laws. Statements about our beliefs and expectations and
statements containing the words “may,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “will,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “estimate,” “target,”
“project,” “look forward to,” “intend” and similar
expressions intended to connote future events and circumstances constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements
include statements about, among other things, future costs and prices of commodities, production
volumes, industry trends, demand for our products and services, anticipated cost savings,
anticipated benefits from new products or facilities, and projected results of operations. Forward-looking statements involve known and
unknown risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those
contained in or implied by any forward-looking statement. Some of the important factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the
following: (1) our ability to successfully implement our business strategy; (2) the cyclical
nature of the aluminum industry, material adverse changes in the aluminum industry or our
end-use segments, such as global and regional supply and demand conditions for aluminum and aluminum products, and changes in our customers’
industries; (3) our ability to fulfill our substantial capital investment requirements; (4)
variability in general economic conditions on a global or regional basis; (5) our ability to
retain the services of certain members of our management; (6) our ability to enter into effective metal, natural gas and other commodity derivatives or
arrangements with customers to manage effectively our exposure to commodity price fluctuations and
changes in the pricing of metals, especially London Metal Exchange-based aluminum prices;
(7) our internal controls over financial reporting and our disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent all possible errors that
could occur; (8) increases in the cost of raw materials and energy; (9) the loss of order volumes from
any of our largest customers; (10) our ability to retain customers, a substantial number of
whom do not have long-term contractual arrangements with us; (11) our ability to generate sufficient cash flows to fund our capital expenditure
requirements and to meet our debt service obligations; (12) competitor pricing activity, competition
of aluminum with alternative materials and the general impact of competition in the industry
segments we serve; (13) risks of investing in and conducting operations on a global basis, including political, social, economic, currency and
regulatory factors; (14) current environmental liabilities and the cost of compliance with and
liabilities under health and safety laws; (15) labor relations (i.e., disruptions, strikes or
work stoppages) and labor costs; (16) our levels of indebtedness and debt service obligations, including changes in our credit ratings, material increases in
our cost of borrowing, or the failure of financial institutions to fulfill their commitments to us
under committed credit facilities; (17) our ability to access the credit and capital markets;
(18) the possibility that we may incur additional indebtedness in the future; and (19) limitations on operating our business as a result of covenant
restrictions under our indebtedness. Investors, potential investors and other readers are urged to
consider these factors carefully in evaluating the forward-looking statements and are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-
looking statements, whether in response to new information, futures events or otherwise, except as
otherwise required by law.
The non-GAAP financial measures contained in this presentation (including, without limitation,
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, commercial margin, and variations thereof) are not measures of
financial performance calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income and loss attributable to
Aleris Corporation or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP or as alternatives
to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. Non-GAAP measures
have limitations as analytical tools and should be considered in addition to, not in isolation or as a substitute for, or as superior to, our
measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that certain
non-GAAP performance measures may provide investors with additional meaningful comparisons
between current results and results in prior periods. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures as performance metrics
and believes these measures provide additional information commonly used by the holders of our senior
debt securities and parties to the ABL Facility with respect to the ongoing performance of our
underlying business activities, as well as our ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditures and working capital needs.
These adjustments are based on currently available information and certain adjustments that we believe
are reasonable and are presented as an aid in understanding our operating results. They are not
necessarily indicative of future results of operations that may be obtained by the Company.
Information regarding market and industry statistics contained in this presentation is based on
information from third party sources as well as estimates prepared by us using certain
assumptions and our knowledge of these industries. Our estimates, in particular as they relate to our general expectations concerning the aluminum
industry, involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to changes based on various factors,
including those discussed under “Risk Factors” in our filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. This information is current only as of its date and may have changed. We undertake no obligation to
update this information in light of new information, future events or otherwise. This
information contains certain financial projections and forecasts and other forward looking information concerning our business, prospects, financial
condition and results of operations, and we are not making any representation or warranty that this
information is accurate or complete. See “Forward-Looking Information” below.
