Notice Regarding Forward Looking Statements,
Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Defined Terms
Forward-Looking Statements
This
presentation
and
the
oral
remarks
made
in
connection
herewith
may
contain
“forward-looking
statements”
within
the
meaning
of
the
U.S.
Private
Securities
Litigation
Reform
Act
of
1995.
Any
forward-looking
statements
involve
risks,
uncertainties
and
assumptions.
These
statements
often include words such as “believe,”
“expect,”
“anticipate,”
“intend,”
“plan,”
“estimate,”
“target,”
“project,”
“forecast,”
“seek,”
“will,”
“may,”
“should,”
“could,”
“would,”
or similar expressions. These statements are based on certain assumptions that we have made in light of our experience in the
industry
and
our
perceptions
of
historical
trends,
current
conditions,
expected
future
developments
and
other
factors
we
believe
are
appropriate
under
the
circumstances
as
of
the
date
hereof.
Although
we
believe
that
the
assumptions
and
analysis
underlying
these
statements
are
reasonable
as
of
the
date
hereof,
investors
are
cautioned
not
to
place
undue
reliance
on
these
statements.
We
do
not
have
any
obligation
to
and
do
not
intend
to update any forward-looking statements included herein. You should understand that these statements are not guarantees of future performance
or results.  Actual results could differ materially from those described in any forward-looking statements contained herein or the oral remarks made
in connection herewith as a result of a variety of factors, including known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our
control.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The historical financial information included in this presentation includes financial information that is not presented in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Management uses these non-GAAP
financial measures in the analysis of our financial and operating performance because they assist in the evaluation of underlying trends in our
business.  Our use of the terms EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may differ from that of others in our industry. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should
not
be
considered
as
alternatives
to
net
income
(loss),
operating
income
or
any
other
performance
measures
derived
in
accordance
with
GAAP
as
measures
of
operating
performance
or
operating
cash
flows
or
as
measures
of
liquidity.
EBITDA
and
Adjusted
EBITDA
have
important
limitations
as analytical tools and should be considered in conjunction with, and not as substitutes for, our results as reported under GAAP. This presentation
includes a reconciliation of certain non-GAAP financial measures with the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance
with GAAP.
Defined Terms
All capitalized terms contained within this presentation have been previously defined in our filings with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission.

Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation (cont’d)

Axalta
Coating
Systems
Ltd.
A.
During the Successor nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded a non-cash fair value adjustment associated with our acquisition 
accounting for inventories. These amounts increased cost of goods sold by $103.7 million.
B.
In connection with the Acquisition, we incurred $28.1 million of merger and acquisition costs during the Successor nine months ended 
September 30, 2013. These costs consisted primarily of investment banking, legal and other professional advisory services costs.
C.
On August 30, 2012, we signed a debt commitment letter which included the Bridge Facility. Upon the issuance of the Senior Notes and the 
entry into the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, the commitments under the Bridge Facility terminated. Commitment fees related to the Bridge 
Facility of $21.0 million and associated fees of $4.0 million were expensed upon the termination of the Bridge Facility. In connection with the 
refinancing of the Senior Secured Credit Facilities in February 2014, we recognized $3.1 million of costs. In addition to the refinancing, we 
also incurred a $3.0 million loss on extinguishment of debt recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2014, which resulted 
directly from the pro-rata write off of unamortized deferred financing costs and original issue discounts associated with the prepayment of 
$100.0 million of principal on the New Dollar Term Loan.
D.
Eliminates foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, 
including a $19.4 million loss related to the Acquisition date settlement of a foreign currency contract used to hedge the variability of Euro-
based financing.
E.
For the Successor periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, eliminates the non-service cost components of employee benefit costs. 
Additionally, we deducted a pension curtailment gain of $6.6 million recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2014. For the 
Predecessor period January 1, 2013 through January 31, 2013, eliminates (1) all U.S. pension and other long-term employee benefit costs 
that were not assumed as part of the Acquisition and (2) the non-service cost component of the pension and other long-term employee benefit 
costs.
F.
Represents expenses primarily related to employee termination benefits, including our initiative to improve the overall cost structure within the 
European region, and other employee-related costs. Termination benefits include the costs associated with out headcount initiatives for 
establishment of new roles and elimination of old roles and other costs associated with cost saving opportunities that were related to our 
transition to a standalone entity.
G.
Represents fees paid to consultants, advisors, and other third-party professional organizations for professional services rendered in 
conjunction with the transition from DuPont to a standalone entity.
H.
Represents charges associated with the transition from DuPont to a standalone entity, including branding and marketing, information 
technology related costs, and facility transition costs, as well as costs associated with the IPO.
For definitions of defined terms used herein, refer to our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2014 filed with
the SEC.


Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation (cont’d)
14
I.
Represents costs for certain unusual or non-operational (gains) and losses and the non-cash impact of natural gas and currency hedge
losses allocated to DPC by DuPont, stock-based compensation, asset impairments, equity investee dividends, indemnity (income) losses
associated
with
the
Acquisition,
gains
resulting
from
amendments
to
long-term
benefit
plans
and
loss
(gain)
on
sale
and
disposal
of
property,
plant and equipment.
J.
Represents the payment of dividends to our joint venture partners by our consolidated entities that are not wholly owned.
K.
Pursuant to Axalta’s management agreement with Carlyle Investment Management, L.L.C., an affiliate of Carlyle, for management and
financial
advisory
services
and
oversight
provided
to
Axalta
and
its
subsidiaries,
Axalta
was
required
to
pay
an
annual
management
fee
of
$3.0
million
and
out-of-pocket
expenses.
This
agreement
was
terminated
upon
consummation
of
the
IPO.
L.
Represents (1) the add-back of corporate allocations from DuPont to DPC for the usage of DuPont’s facilities, functions and services; costs
for
administrative
functions
and
services
performed
on
behalf
of
DPC
by
centralized
staff
groups
within
DuPont;
a
portion
of
DuPont’s
general
corporate expenses; and certain pension and other long-term employee benefit costs, in each case because we believe these costs are not
indicative of costs we would have incurred as a standalone company net, of (2) estimated standalone costs based on a corporate function
resource analysis that included a standalone executive office, the costs associated with supporting a standalone information technology
infrastructure, corporate functions such as legal, finance, treasury, procurement and human resources and certain costs related to facilities
management. This resource analysis included anticipated headcount and the associated overhead costs of running these functions effectively
as a standalone company of our size and complexity. This estimate is provided for additional information and analysis only, as we believe that
it facilitates enhanced comparability between Predecessor and Successor periods. It represents the difference between the costs that were
allocated
to
our
predecessor
by
its
parent
and
the
costs
that
we
believe
would
be
incurred
if
it
operated
as
a
standalone
entity.
This
estimate
is not intended to represent a pro forma adjustment presented within the guidance of Article 11 of Regulation S-X. Although we believe this
estimate is reasonable, actual results may have differed from this estimate, and any difference may be material. See “Forward-Looking
Statements”
and

Factors—Risks
Related

our
Business”
