VIA EDGAR United States Securities and Exchange Commission Division of Corporation Finance Office of Industrial Applications and Services Re: Axalta Coating Systems Ltd. Form 8-K filed August 1, 2024 File No. 001-36733
Dear Ms. Salik & Ms. Baker:
We are hereby writing in response to the comment Axalta Coating Systems Ltd. (“we”, “our” or the “Company”) received from the staff (the “Staff”) of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by letter dated November 22, 2024 (the “Comment Letter”) regarding the above-referenced filing. We have addressed the Comment Letter by reproducing the comment below and providing our response immediately thereafter.
Form 8-K Filed August 1, 2024
Exhibit 99.1, page 1
1.
We note your response to comment two. The adjustment that excludes step-up depreciation and amortization associated with the acquisition of DuPont Performance Coatings results in the presentation of non-GAAP measures which reflect part, but not all, of an accounting concept. As such, the resulting non-GAAP measures substitute individually tailored recognition and measurement methods. Please revise your non- GAAP measures to remove this adjustment in future filings. Refer to 100.04 of the SEC Staff's Non-GAAP Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations.
Company Response: The Company respectfully acknowledges the Staff’s comment. The Company advises the Staff that, in our future filings, we will revise all applicable non-GAAP measures to remove the identified adjustment for step-up depreciation and amortization associated with the acquisition of DuPont Performance Coatings.
