Jean-Marc Germain, Constelliums Chief Executive Officer said, Constellium delivered strong results in 2018. Our Adjusted EBITDA of 498 million increased by 11%, coming in well above our initial high single digit guidance. Further, each of our three business units delivered record annual Adjusted EBITDA. We also made significant progress on strategic initiatives in 2018, notably the sale of the North Building at Sierre and the agreement to acquire our partners interest in our Bowling Green joint venture. Overall, I am proud of the achievements our team made during the year, and I am very optimistic about the prospects for our future.
Mr. Germain continued, We are maintaining our guidance of Adjusted EBITDA growth of 8% to 10% and Free Cash Flow in excess of 50 million in 2019. Our focus is on delivering our long-term targets of Adjusted EBITDA over 700 million and leverage of 2.5x in 2022. We are committed to increasing value for our shareholders through the execution of our strategy.

The difference between the sum of reported segment revenue and total group revenue includes revenue from certain non-core activities and inter-segment eliminations. The difference between the sum of reported segment Adjusted EBITDA and the Group Adjusted EBITDA is related to Holdings and Corporate.
For the fourth quarter of 2018, shipments of 370 thousand metric tons increased 6% compared to the fourth quarter of last year due to higher shipments in each of our segments. Revenue of 1.4 billion increased 12% compared to the fourth quarter of last year primarily due to higher shipments and improved price and mix. Net loss of 57 million improved compared to a net loss of 80 million in the fourth quarter of 2017 due largely to costs related to the refinancing completed in the fourth quarter of 2017. Adjusted EBITDA of 104 million increased 1% from the fourth quarter of last year primarily due to improved results in the Packaging and Automotive Rolled Products segment, partially offset by weaker results in the Automotive Structures and Industry segment.
For the full year of 2018, shipments of 1.5 million metric tons increased 3% compared to last year on higher shipments in each of our segments. Revenue of 5.7 billion increased 9% compared to last year primarily due to higher shipments, higher aluminium prices and improved price and mix. Net income of 190 million improved compared to a net loss of 31 million in 2017 largely due to the gain on the sale of the North Building at Sierre in 2018. Adjusted EBITDA of 498 million increased 11% compared to last year on improved results in each of our three business segments.

Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA increased compared to the fourth quarter of 2017 as increased shipments, favorable metal costs and solid cost control were partially offset by weaker price and mix and incremental costs from maintenance and the ramp up of our automotive programs.
For the fourth quarter of 2018, shipments of 254 thousand metric tons increased 6% from the fourth quarter of last year due to higher shipments of both Packaging rolled products and Automotive rolled products. Revenue of 737 million increased 11% compared to the fourth quarter of 2017 primarily due to higher shipments.
For the full year of 2018, Adjusted EBITDA of 243 million increased compared to last year primarily due to higher volumes, improved price and mix, favorable metal costs and solid cost control, partially offset by incremental costs from maintenance and the ramp up of our automotive programs. Shipments of 1.0 million metric tons increased 3% compared to the last year as higher Automotive rolled product shipments were partially offset by lower Packaging rolled product shipments. Revenue of 3.1 billion increased 9% compared to last year primarily due to higher aluminium prices and higher shipments.

Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA increased slightly compared to the fourth quarter of 2017 due to higher shipments on solid operational performance, partially offset by weaker price and mix and slightly higher costs.

Revenue of 349 million increased 9% compared to the fourth quarter of 2017 primarily due to higher volumes.
For the full year of 2018, Adjusted EBITDA of 152 million increased 4% compared to last year on higher shipments and solid cost control, partially offset by weaker price and mix. Shipments of 246 thousand metric tons increased 3% compared to last year on higher shipments of both Aerospace rolled products and Transportation, Industry and Other rolled products. Revenue of 1.4 billion increased 4% compared to last year as higher shipments and higher aluminium prices were partially offset by foreign exchange translation.

Fourth quarter Adjusted EBITDA decreased compared to the fourth quarter of 2017 primarily due to higher costs largely related to maintenance, new product launches and our footprint expansion.
For the fourth quarter of 2018, shipments of 57 thousand metric tons increased 1% compared to the fourth quarter of last year on higher Other extruded product shipments. Revenue of 324 million increased 18% compared to the fourth quarter of 2017 primarily due to improved price and mix.
For the full year of 2018, Adjusted EBITDA of 125 million increased 4% compared to last year on higher shipments and improved price and mix partially offset by higher costs. Shipments of 249 thousand metric tons increased 6% compared to last year due to higher shipments of both Automotive extruded products and Other extruded products. Revenue of 1.3 billion increased 15% compared to last year on higher shipments and improved price and mix.

|
Net Income |
For the fourth quarter of 2018, net loss of 57 million compared to a net loss of 80 million in the fourth quarter of last year. The change in net income is primarily attributable to lower financing costs compared to the same period of 2017, which included the costs of the refinancing completed in that period, and lower income tax expense compared to the same period of 2017 as a result of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, partially offset by an unfavorable change in the value of unrealized derivatives and an unfavorable effect from metal lag.
For the full year of 2018, net income of 190 million compared to a net loss of 31 million in the prior year. The change in net income is primarily attributable to a gain from the sale of the North Building at Sierre, lower financing costs, the improvement in Adjusted EBITDA and lower income tax expense, partially offset by an unfavorable change in the value of unrealized derivatives.
|
Cash Flow and Liquidity |
Free Cash Flow was an outflow of 225 million for the full year of 2018 compared to an outflow of 134 million in the prior year. The change was primarily due to higher working capital, partially offset by higher Adjusted EBITDA and lower interest expense.
Cash flows from operating activities were 66 million for the full year of 2018 compared to cash flows from operating activities of 160 million in the prior year. Constellium reduced factored receivables by 27 million in 2018 compared to a decrease of 93 million in the prior year.
Cash flows used in investing activities were 91 million for full year of 2018 compared to cash flows used in investing activities of 292 million in the prior year. Cash flows used in investing activities included 198 million of proceeds from disposals net of cash related to the sale of the North Building at Sierre in 2018.
Cash flows used in financing activities were 82 million for the full year of 2018 compared to cash flows from financing activities of 61 million in the prior year.
Liquidity at December 31, 2018 was 669 million, comprised of 164 million of cash and cash equivalents and 505 million available under our committed lending facilities and factoring arrangements. Liquidity at December 31, 2017 was 531 million.
Net debt was 1,996 million at December 31, 2018 compared to 1,889 million at December 31, 2017.
|
Outlook |
We expect Adjusted EBITDA growth in a range of 8% to 10% in 2019 and expect over 700 million of Adjusted EBITDA in 2022. This guidance reflects the effect of the application of IFRS 16 and the consolidation of Bowling Green, both beginning in Q1 2019.
We are not able to provide a reconciliation of this Adjusted EBITDA guidance to net income, the comparable GAAP measure, because certain items that are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA cannot be reasonably predicted or are not in our control. In particular, we are unable to forecast the timing or magnitude of realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments, metal lag,
5
impairment or restructuring charges, or taxes without unreasonable efforts, and these items could significantly impact, either individually or in the aggregate, net income in the future.

(A) For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Group amended one of its OPEB plans in the US, which resulted in a 36 million gain. For the year ended December 31, 2017, amendments to certain Swiss pension plans, US pension plans and OPEB resulted in a 20 million gain. (B) Metal price lag represents the financial impact of the timing difference between when aluminium prices included within Constellium revenues are established and when aluminium purchase prices included in Cost of sales are established. The Group accounts for inventory using a weighted average price basis and this adjustment aims to remove the effect of volatility in LME prices. The calculation of the Group metal price lag adjustment is based on an internal standardized methodology calculated at each of Constelliums manufacturing sites and is primarily calculated as the average value of product recorded in inventory, which approximates the spot price in the market, less the average value transferred out of inventory, which is the weighted average of the metal element of cost of sales, based on the quantity sold in the period. (C) For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, start-up and development costs include 21 million and 16 million, respectively, related to new projects in our AS&I operating segment. (D) In July 2018, Constellium completed the sale of the North Building assets of its Sierre plant in Switzerland to Novelis and contributed the Sierre site shared infrastructure to a joint-venture with Novelis, in exchange for cash consideration of 200 million. This transaction also resulted in the termination of the existing lease agreement for the North Building assets which had been leased and operated by Novelis since 2005. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the transaction generated a 190 million net gain. |

Non-GAAP measures
In addition to the results reported in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), this press release includes information regarding certain financial measures which are not prepared in accordance with IFRS (non-GAAP measures). The non-GAAP measures used in this press release are: Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA per metric ton, Free Cash Flow and Net debt. Reconciliations to the most directly comparable IFRS financial measures are presented in the schedules to this press release. We believe these non-GAAP measures are important supplemental measures of our operating and financial performance. By providing these measures, together with the reconciliations, we believe we are enhancing investors understanding of our business, our results of operations and our financial position, as well as assisting investors in evaluating the extent to which we are executing our strategic initiatives. However, these non-GAAP financial measures supplement our IFRS disclosures and should not be considered an alternative to the IFRS measures and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
In considering the financial performance of the business, management and our chief operational decision maker, as defined by IFRS, analyze the primary financial performance measure of Adjusted EBITDA in all of our business segments. The most directly comparable IFRS measure to Adjusted EBITDA is our net income or loss for the period. We believe Adjusted EBITDA, as defined below, is useful to investors and is used by our management for measuring profitability because it excludes the impact of certain non-cash charges, such as depreciation, amortization, impairment and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives as well as items that do not impact the day-to-day operations and that management in many cases does not directly control or influence. Therefore, such adjustments eliminate items which have less bearing on our core operating performance.
Adjusted EBITDA measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of Constellium and in comparison to other companies, many of which present an Adjusted EBITDA-related performance measure when reporting their results.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income / (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, results from joint ventures, net finance costs, other expenses and depreciation and amortization as adjusted to exclude restructuring costs, impairment charges, unrealized gains or losses on derivatives and on foreign exchange differences on transactions which do not qualify for hedge accounting, metal price lag, share based compensation expense, effects of certain purchase accounting adjustments, start-up and development costs or acquisition, integration and separation costs, certain incremental costs and other exceptional, unusual or generally non-recurring items.
Adjusted EBITDA is the measure of performance used by management in evaluating our operating performance, in preparing internal forecasts and budgets necessary for managing our business and, specifically in relation to the exclusion of the effect of favorable or unfavorable metal price lag, this measure allows management and the investor to assess operating results and trends without the impact of our accounting for inventories. We use the weighted average cost method in accordance with IFRS which leads to the purchase price paid for metal impacting our cost of goods sold and therefore profitability in the period subsequent to when the related sales price impacts our revenues. Management believes this measure also provides additional information used by our lending facilities providers with respect to the ongoing performance of our underlying business activities. Historically, we have used Adjusted EBITDA in calculating our compliance with financial covenants under certain of our loan facilities.
15
Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with IFRS, is not a measure of financial condition, liquidity or profitability and should not be considered as an alternative to profit or loss for the period, revenues or operating cash flows determined in accordance with IFRS.
Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditure, equity contributions and loans to joint ventures and other investing activities. Management believes that Free Cash Flow is a useful measure of the net cash flow generated or used by the business as it takes into account both the cash generated or consumed by operating activities, including working capital, and the capital expenditure requirements of the business. However, Free Cash Flow is not a presentation made in accordance with IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to operating cash flows determined in accordance with IFRS. Free Cash Flow has certain inherent limitations, including the fact that it does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary spending, notably because it does not reflect payments required for debt service or capital lease obligations.
Net debt is defined as borrowings plus or minus the fair value of cross currency basis swaps net of margin calls less cash and cash equivalents and cash pledged for the issuance of guarantees. Management believes that Net debt is a useful measure of indebtedness because it takes into account the cash and cash equivalent balances held by the Company as well as the total external debt of the Company. Net debt is not a presentation made in accordance with IFRS, and should not be considered as an alternative to borrowings determined in accordance with IFRS.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2018 Earnings Call February 21, 2019 Exhibit 99.2
Certain statements contained in this presentation may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. This presentation may contain “forward-looking statements” with respect to our business, results of operations and financial condition, and our expectations or beliefs concerning future events and conditions. You can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as, but not limited to, “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “should,” “approximately,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “targets,” “likely,” “will,” “would,” “could” and similar expressions (or the negative of these terminologies or expressions). All forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Many risks and uncertainties are inherent in our industry and markets. Others are more specific to our business and operations. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, economic downturn, the loss of key customers, suppliers or other business relationships; disruption to business operations; the inability to meet customer quality requirements; delayed readiness for the North American Auto Body Sheet market, the capacity and effectiveness of our hedging policy activities, failure to retain key employees, and other risk factors set forth under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 20-F and as described from time to time in subsequent reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The occurrence of the events described and the achievement of the expected results depend on many events, some or all of which are not predictable or within our control. Consequently, actual results may differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained in this presentation. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Forward-looking statements
Non-GAAP measures This presentation includes information regarding certain non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA per metric ton, Free Cash Flow and Net debt. These measures are presented because management uses this information to monitor and evaluate financial results and trends and believes this information to also be useful for investors. Adjusted EBITDA measures are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in their evaluation of Constellium and in comparison to other companies, many of which present an adjusted EBITDA-related performance measure when reporting their results. Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA per Metric Ton, Free Cash Flow and Net debt are not presentations made in accordance with IFRS and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. These non-GAAP financial measures supplement our IFRS disclosures and should not be considered an alternative to the IFRS measures. This presentation provides a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. We are not able to provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA guidance to net income, the comparable GAAP measure, because certain items that are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA cannot be reasonably predicted or are not in our control. In particular, we are unable to forecast the timing or magnitude of realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments, metal lag, impairment or restructuring charges, or taxes without unreasonable efforts, and these items could significantly impact, either individually or in the aggregate, our net income in the future.
