Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

On May 6, 2019 , Axalta Coating Systems Ltd. (“Axalta”) posted presentation slides to Axalta’s Investor Relations website (http://ir.axaltacs.com), which will be presented at several upcoming investor presentations. A copy of the presentation materials is furnished hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

The information contained herein and in the accompanying exhibits shall not be deemed filed for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

In the presentation slides and prepared remarks during the upcoming investor presentations, Axalta presents, and will present, certain non-GAAP financial measures. Axalta management believes that presenting these non-GAAP financial measures provides meaningful information to investors in understanding operating results and may enhance investors’ ability to analyze financial and business trends. In addition, Axalta management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures allow investors to compare period to period more easily by excluding items that could have a disproportionately negative or positive impact on results in any particular period. Non-GAAP measures are not a substitute for GAAP measures and should be considered together with the GAAP financial measures. As calculated, Axalta's non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
