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 2017 financial
projections, including execution on our 2017 goals as well as 2017 net sales, net sales excluding FX, Adjusted EBITDA, interest expense, tax rate, as adjusted, free cash flow, capital expenditures, working capital, depreciation and amortization,
diluted shares outstanding, cost savings, contributions from acquisitions, 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 and our Quarterly
Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2016, June 30, 2016 and September 30, 2016.
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 net sales excluding FX,
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, tax rate, as adjusted, 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 net sales excluding FX, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, tax rate, as adjusted, and Net Debt may differ from that of others in
our industry. Net sales excluding FX, 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. Net sales excluding FX, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, tax rate, as adjusted, 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 sales excluding FX, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow or tax rate, as adjusted, 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 Axalta’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. During the three months and years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 we prepaid principal on our term loans, resulting in non-cash extinguishment losses of $3 million,
$10 million, $3 million and $3 million, respectively. During the three months and year ended December 31, 2016, we amended our Credit Agreement and refinanced our
indebtedness, resulting in additional losses of $10 million and $88 million, respectively. 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 and losses of $24 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2016, respectively, and gains of $1 million and losses of $52 million for three
months and year ended December 31, 2015.
C. Eliminates the non-cash, non-service cost (gain) components of long-term employee benefit costs.
D. Represents expenses primarily related to employee termination benefits including our initiative to improve the 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 a change in estimate associated with the transition costs from DuPont to a standalone entity, including certain indemnities. We do not consider these items to
be indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
G. Represents costs associated with the secondary offerings of our common shares by Carlyle and acquisition-related expenses, including changes in the fair value of
contingent consideration, all of which are not considered indicative of our ongoing operating performance.
