CONFIDENTIAL DISCLAIMER IMPORTANT INFORMATION This information is current only as of its date and may have changed. We undertake no obligation to update this information in light of new information, future events or otherwise. This information contains certain forecasts and other forward looking information concerning our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations, and we are not making any representation or warranty that this information is accurate or complete. See “Forward-Looking Information” below. In particular, this presentation includes Structuring Adj. EBITDA, anon-GAAP financial measure and forward-looking statement, which is being provided for illustrative purposes only in connection with the refinancing transactions. Accordingly, the Company does not intend to update or provide this financial measure on an ongoing basis. BASIS OF PRESENTATION We are a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Aleris Corporation. Aleris Corporation currently conducts its business and operations through us and our consolidated subsidiaries. As used in this presentation, unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires, “Aleris,” “we,” “our,” “us,” “ and the “Company” refer to Aleris International, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the financial information presented in this presentation, unless otherwise specified or the context requires, “Aleris,” “we,” “our,” “us,” and the “Company” refer to Aleris Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. We completed the sale of our recycling and specification alloys and extrusions businesses in the first quarter of 2015. We have reported these businesses as discontinued operations for all periods presented, and reclassified the results of operations of these businesses as discontinued operations. Except as otherwise indicated, the discussion of the Company’s business and financial information throughout this presentation refers to the Company’s continuing operations and the financial position and results of operations of its continuing operations. FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION Certain statements contained in this presentation are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Statements under the heading “Q2 2018 Outlook” and statements about our beliefs and expectations and statements containing the words “may,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “will,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “estimate,” “target,” “project,” “look forward to,” “intend” and similar expressions intended to connote future events and circumstances constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include statements about future costs and prices of commodities, production volumes, customer commitments, industry trends, anticipated cost savings, anticipated benefits from new products, facilities, acquisitions or divestitures, projected results of operations, achievement of production efficiencies, capacity expansions, future prices and demand for our products and estimated cash flows and sufficiency of cash flows to fund operations, capital expenditures and debt obligations, as well as statements regarding the impact of trade cases, tariffs and other future governmental actions. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statement. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) our ability to successfully implement our business strategy; (2) the success of past and future acquisitions or divestitures; (3) the cyclical nature of the aluminum industry, material adverse changes in the aluminum industry or ourend-uses, such as global and regional supply and demand conditions for aluminum and aluminum products, and changes in our customers’ industries; (4) increases in the cost, or limited availability, of raw materials and energy; (5) our ability to enter into effective metal, energy and other commodity derivatives or arrangements with customers to manage effectively our exposure to commodity price fluctuations and changes in the pricing of metals, especially London Metal Exchange-based aluminum prices; (6) our ability to generate sufficient cash flows to fund our operations and capital expenditure requirements and to meet our debt obligations; (7) competitor pricing activity, competition of aluminum with alternative materials and the general impact of competition in the industryend-uses we serve; (8) our ability to retain the services of certain members of our management; (9) the loss of order volumes from any of our largest customers; (10) our ability to retain customers, a substantial number of whom do not have long-term contractual arrangements with us; (11) risks of investing in and conducting operations on a global basis, including political, social, economic, currency and regulatory factors; (12) variability in general economic or political conditions on a global or regional basis; (13) current environmental liabilities and the cost of compliance with and liabilities under health and safety laws; (14) labor relations (i.e., disruptions, strikes or work stoppages) and labor costs; (15) our internal controls over financial reporting and our disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent all possible errors that could occur; (16) our levels of indebtedness and debt service obligations, including changes in our credit ratings, material increases in our cost of borrowing or the failure of financial institutions to fulfill their commitments to us under committed facilities; (17) our ability to access credit or capital markets; (18) the possibility that we may incur additional indebtedness in the future; (19) limitations on operating our business and incurring additional indebtedness as a result of covenant restrictions under our indebtedness, and our ability to pay amounts due under our outstanding indebtedness; and (20) other factors discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the sections entitled “Risk Factors” contained therein. In particular, this presentation contains Structuring Adj. EBITDA, anon-GAAP financial measure and forward-looking statement. Structuring Adj. EBITDA is subject to various risks and uncertainties, many of which are listed above and beyond our control. For example, we have estimated the future financial impact of certain customer purchase commitments net of their expected costs. Actual costs may exceed our projections, which could limit the benefits we expect to realize from these customer purchase commitments. We have also made certain assumptions regarding customer purchase commitments based on our historical experience with such customers and industry practice. Some of these commitments are not subject to contractual arrangements, and these customers may seek to reduce or delay their commitments. In addition, certain of the anticipated benefits contained in Structuring Adj. EBITDA are not expected to be realized until the successfulramp-up of ABS production at our Lewisport facility and of certain aerospace production. As a result, we expect to realize only a portion of the anticipated benefits contained in Structuring Adj. EBITDA during 2018, asramp-up at these facilities is expected to occur over the next several years. You are urged to consider all these factors carefully in evaluating the forward-looking statements and are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether in response to new information, futures events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.

CONFIDENTIAL DISCLAIMER (CONTINUED)NON-GAAP INFORMATION Thenon-GAAP financial measures contained in this presentation (including, without limitation, Adj. EBITDA, Pro forma Adj. EBITDA and Structuring Adj. EBITDA) are not measures of financial performance calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income and loss attributable to Aleris Corporation or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP or as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.Non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and should be considered in addition to, not in isolation or as a substitute for, or as superior to, our measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that certainnon-GAAP financial measures may provide additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior periods. Management usesnon-GAAP financial measures as performance metrics and believes these measures provide additional information commonly used by the holders of our senior debt securities and parties to the ABL Facility with respect to the ongoing performance of our underlying business activities, as well as our ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditure and working capital needs. We calculate ournon-GAAP financial measures by eliminating the impact of a number of items we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance, and, for certain periods, adding back certain other items. You are encouraged to evaluate each adjustment and the reasons we consider it appropriate for supplemental analysis. For reconciliations ofnon-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, see the tables in the Appendix. INDUSTRY INFORMATION Information regarding market and industry statistics contained in this presentation is based on information from third party sources as well as estimates prepared by us using certain assumptions and our knowledge of these industries. Our estimates, in particular as they relate to our general expectations concerning the aluminum industry, involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to changes based on various factors, including those discussed under “Risk Factors” in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. EXPLANATORY NOTE REGARDING Q2 2018 OUTLOOK Although we do not typically provide quantitative guidance, this presentation includes certain estimates for the quarter ending June 30, 2018. These estimates reflect management’s best estimates based upon currently available information and certain assumptions we believe to be reasonable, including, estimates of tons to be produced and sold during the quarter, commercial margin to be generated from tons sold and conversion costs to be incurred in production. Because we have not yet completed our second quarter of 2018, these estimates are inherently uncertain, subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are not within our control, have not been reviewed by our independent auditors and may be revised as a result of management’s further review. In addition, these estimates are not a comprehensive statement of our financial results for the quarter ending June 30, 2018, and our actual results may differ materially from these estimates due to developments that may arise between now and the time our second quarter is completed, as well as the time the closing procedures for the fiscal quarter are completed. There can be no assurance that the estimates will be realized, and our results for the quarter ending June 30, 2018 or any future period may vary significantly from the estimates, including as a result of unexpected issues in our business and operations. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on such information. See “Forward-Looking Information.”

CONFIDENTIAL CALCULATION OF STRUCTURING ADJ. EBITDA1 $ in millions LTM for period ended March 31, 2018 Structuring Adj. EBITDA $ 334 Expected aerospace volumes(a) (25) Expected automotive volumes(b) (70) PF Adj. EBITDA 239 Wingskin qualification(c) (4) Duffel—NA support(d) (3) Lewisport outage(e) (30) Adj. EBITDA $ 202 Represents themid-point of the estimated future Adj. EBITDA impact of expected increases in shipments of aerospace products related to certain customer purchase commitments, net of their expected cost. During 2016 and 2017, several of our long-term contracts with major aircraft OEMs were successfully renewed. Each contract was renewed with a higher share of the OEM’s aerospace business and with a higher value-added mix of products and alloys. Based upon expected aircraft build rates, these new contracts and products are expected to increase Adj. EBITDA by $20 million to $30 million annually, beginning in 2019. The full annual (a) benefit of these contracts is not expected to be realized until 2022. The estimate of average Europe and Asia Pacific segment income and Adj. EBITDA per ton was determined using the 2017 Company-wide average Adj. EBITDA per ton for aerospace products plus an estimate of profitability benefits from fixed cost leverage, which was based on our 2017 aerospace fixed cost absorption and adjusted for the higher production volumes expected to be realized in the future under certain aerospace contracts. Represents themid-point of the estimated future Adj. EBITDA impact of expected increases in shipments of automotive products from our Lewisport facility related to certain customer purchase commitments, net of their expected cost. Aluminum ABS products are expected to generate more than twice the commercial margin per ton of the standard distribution sheet currently produced at the Lewisport facility. Over the next several years, this is expected to have a meaningful impact on our profitability. Based on existing long-term customer commitments, which account for over 60% of our ABS capacity through 2025 and include significant “take or pay” (b) obligations, we believe the segment income and Adj. EBITDA impact of the North America ABS Project could range from $65 million to $75 million in 2019. We expect the full ramp up of ABS shipments from our combined CALP capacity to occur over the next four years. To determine an estimate of average North America segment income and Adj. EBITDA per ton, we used the range of rolling margins per ton included in the pricing terms of our existing customer arrangements. These rolling margins were then compared to Lewisport’s average rolling margin per ton in 2017. Profitability per ton also reflects an estimate of incremental cash conversion costs. (c) Represents the estimated Adj. EBITDA impact of lost volumes related to the allocation of equipment run time at our Koblenz and Zhenjiang facilities for the development and qualification of new wingskin products, which impacted our ability to produce and ship products to customers during 2017. We expect to introduce wingskin production at our Koblenz facility in the second half of 2018 and at our Zhenjiang facility in early 2019. (d) Represents the estimated Adj. EBITDA impact of lost volumes related to blocking the capacity of the CALP at our Duffel facility to supply ABS to our Lewisport facility in connection with customer qualifications related to the North America ABS Project, which impacted our ability to produce and ship products to customers during 2017. Represents the estimated Adj. EBITDA impact of lost volumes related to the planned hot mill outage at our Lewisport facility, which occurred during the third quarter of 2017. The planned hot mill outage was related to the (e) upgrades we have made to our existing asset base at our Lewisport facility in connection with the North America ABS Project. During the outage, we upgraded our ingot scalper andpre-heating furnace capabilities, widened our hot mill and installedstate-of-the-art mill controls. This necessary outage took approximately 60 days (together with the commissioning of the hot mill after the outage, effectively 75 days) to complete and impacted our ability to produce and ship products to customers. We estimate that we missed 100 million pounds (45 kilotons) of customer shipments during the outage. Note: 1. The items in the calculation above regarding the future financial impact of customer purchase commitments and capital expenditure projects are forward-looking statements (the “outlook adjustments”). Estimates of the future Adj. EBITDA impact from certain existing commitments have been determined using a range of expected customer nominated volumes based on existing customer commitments and applying an appropriate estimate of average profitability per ton. See “Forward Looking Statements” herein for a discussion of risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in our outlook adjustments. Structuring Adj. EBITDA, anon-GAAP financial measure and forward-looking statement, is being provided for illustrative purposes only in connection with the refinancing transactions. Accordingly, the Company does not intend to update or provide this financial measure on an ongoing basis.
