Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On December 4, 2015, Axalta Coating Systems Ltd. (“Axalta”) issued a press release announcing its updated 2015 financial guidance and preliminary guidance related to its 2016 outlook. A copy of the press release is furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

On December 4, 2015, Axalta will host its 2015 Analyst and Investor Day beginning at 9:00 AM (EST). Axalta has posted the materials that will be presented during the event to Axalta’s Investor Relations website (http://ir.axaltacs.com). A copy of the presentation materials is furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.2. There will be an audio webcast of the event accessible via the Events and Presentations page of Axalta’s Investor Relations website.

The information contained herein and in the accompanying exhibits shall not be deemed filed for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

In the press release, presentation materials and prepared remarks during Axalta’s 2015 Analyst and Investor Day, Axalta presents, and will present, certain non-GAAP financial measures. Axalta management believes that presenting these non-GAAP financial measures provides meaningful information to investors in understanding operating results and may enhance investors’ ability to analyze financial and business trends. In addition, Axalta management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures allow investors to compare period to period more easily by excluding items that could have a disproportionately negative or positive impact on results in any particular period. Non-GAAP measures are not a substitute for GAAP measures and should be considered together with the GAAP financial measures. As calculated, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
