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, including those relating to 2016 financial projections, including execution on our 2016 goals as well as 2016 net sales, Adjusted
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, interest expense, income tax rate, as adjusted, diluted shares, capital expenditures, depreciation and amortization, working
capital, cost savings and related assumptions. 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, which speak only
as of the date hereof. 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 constant currency net sales, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, and Net Debt.
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. Adjusted EBITDA consists of EBITDA adjusted for (i) non-operating income or expense, (ii) the impact of certain non-cash,
nonrecurring or other items that are included in net income and EBITDA that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing performance and (iii) certain unusual
or nonrecurring items impacting results in a particular period. We believe that making such adjustments provides investors meaningful information to understand
our operating results and ability to analyze financial and business trends on a period-to-period basis. Our use of the terms constant currency net sales, EBITDA,
Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, and Net Debt may differ from that of others in our industry. Constant currency net sales, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and
Free Cash Flow should not be considered as alternatives to net income, 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. Constant currency net sales, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Free
Cash Flow and Net Debt 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. The company does not provide a reconciliation for non-GAAP estimates on a forward-looking basis where it is unable to
provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimate of reconciling items and the information is not available without reasonable effort.
Segment Financial Measures
The primary measure of segment operating performance is Adjusted EBITDA, which is a key metric that is used by management to evaluate business
performance in comparison to budgets, forecasts, and prior year financial results, providing a measure that management believes reflects the Company’s core
operating performance. As we do not measure segment operating performance based on Net Income, a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure with
the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP is not available.
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)
A. In FY 2015 and 2Q 2016, we prepaid $100.0 million of the outstanding principal on the New Dollar Term Loan and recorded non-cash pre-tax
losses on extinguishment of $3 million and $2 million, respectively.
B. Eliminates foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the remeasurement of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies,
net of gains associated with our foreign currency instruments used to hedge our balance sheet exposures. Venezuela represented a gain of
$1 million, and losses of $56 million, $7 million and $16 million for the periods 1Q 2015, 2Q 2015, 1Q 2016, and 2Q 2016.
C. Eliminates the non-cash, non-service cost components of long-term employee benefit costs.

overall cost structure within the European region as well as costs associated with our Axalta Way initiatives, which are not considered
indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
E. Represents fees paid to consultants for professional services primarily related to our Axalta Way initiatives, which are not considered
indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
F. Represents non-recurring charges associated with the transition from DuPont to a standalone entity, including branding and marketing costs,
information technology related costs and facility transition costs.
G. Represents costs associated with the secondary offerings of our common shares by Carlyle, acquisition-related costs, including a $5.4 million
gain recognized during 1Q 2015 resulting from the remeasurement of our previously held interest in an equity method investee upon the
acquisition of a controlling interest, and costs associated with changes in the fair value of contingent consideration associated with our
acquisitions, all of which are not considered indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
H. Represents costs associated with stock-based compensation, including $8 million of expense during 2Q 2015 attributable to the accelerated
vesting of all issued and outstanding stock options issued under the 2013 Plan as a result of the Change in Control.
I. Represents costs for certain unusual or non-operational (gains) and losses, including equity investee dividends, indemnity losses (gains)
associated with the Acquisition, losses (gains) on sale and disposal of property, plant and equipment, losses (gains) on the remaining foreign
currency derivative instruments and non-cash fair value inventory adjustments associated with our 2015 acquisitions.
J. Represents the payment of dividends to our joint venture partners by our consolidated entities that are not wholly owned, which are not
considered indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
K. As a result of currency devaluations in Venezuela, we recorded non-cash impairment charges relating to a real estate investment of $31
million and $11 million during Q2 2015 and Q2 2016, respectively.
