Legal Notices
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, execution on our 2016 and future goals, as well as sales, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, interest expense, income tax rate, as adjusted, diluted shares, capital expenditures,
depreciation and amortization, working capital, cost and productivity savings, return on invested capital, free cash flow, growth 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 including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties
described in "Non-GAAP Financial Measures," and "Forward-Looking Statements" as well as "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.
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, Adjusted Net Income, 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. Axalta does not provide a reconciliation for non-GAAP estimates for net income or income tax rate, as-reported on a forward-looking basis because the information necessary to calculate a meaningful or
accurate estimation of reconciling items is not available without unreasonable effort. For example, such reconciling items include the impact of foreign currency exchange gains or losses, gains or losses that are unusual
or nonrecurring in nature, as well as discrete taxable events. We cannot estimate or project those items and they may have a substantial and unpredictable impact on our US GAAP results.
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.

Effective Capital Allocation Should Drive Improved Returns
Notes: 1) ROIC = Net Operating Profit After Tax (NOPAT) / (Total Debt + Preferred
Stock + Minority Interest + Equity); 2) AXTA total capital excludes identified intangible
assets; 3) Data as of LTM Q2 2016
Axalta’s ROIC is penalized by the February 2013 LBO and
related asset step-up from purchase price accounting
Drivers of ROIC upside:
Growth in NOPAT from ongoing business execution
Effective capital allocation: Organic investments,
return accretive M&A, and focus on asset efficiency

Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation (cont’d)
A. During FY 2015, 2Q 2016 and 3Q 2016, we prepaid outstanding principal on our Term Loans, resulting in non-cash pre-tax losses on extinguishment of $3
million, $2 million and $5 million, respectively. During 3Q 2016, we amended the terms of our Credit Agreement, resulting in a non-cash pre-tax loss on
extinguishment of $2 million. In connection with the refinancings of our Senior Notes during 3Q 2016, we recorded a non-cash pre-tax loss on
extinguishment of $19 million and incurred call premiums and other fees of $57 million. We do not consider these items to be indicative of our ongoing
operating performance.
B. Eliminates foreign exchange losses resulting from the remeasurement of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, net of the impacts of our
foreign currency instruments used to hedge our balance sheet exposures. Exchange effects attributable to the remeasurement of our Venezuelan subsidiary
represented gains of $1 million for both 1Q 2015 and 3Q 2015 and losses of $56 million, $7 million, $16 million and $1 million for the periods 2Q 2015, 1Q
2016, 2Q 2016 and 3Q 2016, respectively.
C. Eliminates the non-cash non-service cost components of long-term employee benefit costs.
D. Represents expenses primarily related to employee termination benefits and other employee-related costs including our initiative to improve 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 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 non-cash 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 non-operational or non-cash (gains) and losses, unrelated to our core business and which we do not consider indicative of
ongoing operations, 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 business combinations.
J. Represents the payment of dividends to our joint venture partners by our consolidated entities that are not wholly owned, which are reflected to show cash
operating performance of these entities on Axalta’s financial statements.
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. We do not consider these impairments to be indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
