Axalta Coating Systems Ltd. Unveils Innovative Coatings to Support Improved Battery Safety in Electric Vehicles Axalta Coating Systems Ltd. will unveil two innovative products at The Battery Show North America (Booth #1638), reinforcing its commitment to innovation, technical service and performance in energy storage solutions and the automotive industry value chain. The new products, Alesta e-PRO FG Black and Alesta e-PRO Dielectric Gray, which are part of Axalta's broad portfolio of battery coatings, have been engineered for extreme heat protection and better electrical insulation in EV battery applications. Even as electric vehicles are growing in popularity, concerns remain among consumers about their safety, specifically around batteries. Thermal runaway in EV batteries remains a rare yet serious risk that can lead to fires, explosion, and structural failure. When one battery cell overheats, it can trigger a chain reaction, rapidly releasing extreme heat, flames, and smoke at temperatures exceeding 1200degC. When applied as part of a validated OEM battery system, these new coatings may contribute to improved thermal stability and electrical insulation performance. Alesta e-PRO FGBlack is a premium powder coating engineered for thermal stability and secondary fire protection in electric vehicle battery systems. This advanced coating is designed to resist ignition, expansion, and smoke generation at extreme temperatures up to 1200degC, helping to delay fire propagation from thermal events. Key design features include: Thermal integrity maintained under direct flame and extreme heat (600-1200degC); Zero smoke emission at high temperatures; Strong corrosion protection for standalone or enhanced protection over electrocoated substrates; Alesta e-PRO Dieelectric Gray is a premium epoxy-based powder coating designed to provide robust electrical insulation in high-voltage environments such as electric vehicle battery packs and stationary energy storage systems. The FG Black product has been tested for direct flame exposure, single-cell thermal runaway and UL 2596 TaG tests. When exposed to direct flame at 1200degC, Axalta's Alesta e-PRO FG black produces no smoke and does not catch fire during thermal events. The coatings are designed for global automotive manufacturers producing EVs, with the global EV market on track to surpass 20 million units in 2025, accounting for over a quarter of cars sold worldwide. Several leading OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers are currently conducting additional testing based on their specific designs and pre-production part approval processes. Aankondiging • Jul 30

Axalta Introduces Axalta Irus Scan, A Next-Generation Spectrophotometer, for Refinish Customers Axalta Coating Systems Ltd. announced the launch of Axalta Irus Scan, its latest spectrophotometer for refinish customers. This new technology scientifically measures paint color on a vehicle to provide accurate color matches in waterborne and solventborne basecoat technologies. Axalta Irus Scan now joins the simple, three-step Axalta Irus digital color management process as the first step of: Scan – Match – Mix. Axalta Irus Scan leverages a patented inverse angle to detect hue shifting effect pigments which results in a more precise reading for popular achromatic effect colors. Additionally, it is the first spectrophotometer with built-in gloss measurement capabilities to ensure accurate surface preparation and clearcoat product usage. The high definition, RGB camera measures colored sparkle and pairs with Axalta’s color formula retrieval system which leverages a proprietary algorithm to provide the single, best color match for the vehicle under repair from the newly refreshed database of over two million color formulas. This eliminates time in the color match process allowing for more vehicles to be processed faster and more efficiently. Axalta Irus Scan has a user-friendly interface with a live view display of the RGB camera and does not require a skilled refinish technician to operate thus optimizing labor and improving paint booth productivity. Axalta Irus Scan provides accurate color, sparkle, and effect readings which reduces the need to do sprayouts to check color and decreases rework from color match errors, resulting in product waste reduction as well as sustainability improvements. These attributes all contribute to making Axalta Irus Scan an industry-leading innovation in spectrophotometers for the refinish market. Reported Earnings • Aug 02

New minor risk - Earnings quality The company has large one-off items impacting its financial results. One-off items were 23% of the size of the rest of the company's trailing 12-month earnings before tax. This is considered a minor risk. One-off items are incomes or expenses that the company does not expect to repeat in future periods. Examples include profits from the sale of a business or expenses from a restructuring or legal settlements. If the company's reported statutory earnings include a large proportion of one-off items it means they may be an unreliable indicator of its true business performance as the earnings were skewed by these incomes or expenses. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (2.9x net interest cover).

New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: €759k This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (2.7x net interest cover). Minor Risk Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (€759k sold). Reported Earnings • Nov 02

Axalta Introduces Cromax XP Axalta announced the launch of Cromax XP, its latest solventborne basecoat for refinish customers in North America. This new technology delivers outstanding coverage, color match, and final appearance in a simple, easy-to-use system. Cromax XP solventborne basecoat now joins Cromax EZ waterborne basecoat to complete the range of products available in the Cromax brand. Cromax XP is engineered for easy and accurate application, with most colors covering in just 2-3 coats. For finding and matching color, Cromax XP is backed by a chromatically sorted fan deck of 6,000+ color chips that is as easy-to-use as the basecoat. Plus, Cromax XP fan decks are paired with ColorNet, Axalta's color formula retrieval system, to give customers a cohesive and streamlined experience from formula retrieval to clear coat application. Cromax XP has a high tolerance for variances in application technique and temperature, so it is able to accommodate multiple blending processes, making this solventborne basecoat the ideal product for any refinisher who values quality and simplicity. When it comes to packaging, Cromax XP is available in gallon or quart-sized toners for the colors customers use most often, and pints for the colors customers use less often. This helps develop a consistent order pattern and makes it simple to retain fresh material. These attributes all contribute to making Cromax XP a product that's easy to learn, use, and maintain.
