NOVONIX Anode Materials (NAM)

 

Our work at the Riverside facility is progressing and we remain focused on delivering high-quality material to our Tier 1 customers.

In 2024, we signed long-term offtake agreements with Panasonic Energy, Stellantis, and PowerCo, and, as a result, have fully allocated Riverside’s 20,000-tonne production capacity. The continued build-out of our Riverside facility and offtake agreements with Tier 1 cell manufacturers and OEMs provide evidence of our leadership in synthetic graphite production and reinforce our role as a key supplier in onshoring, diversifying and strengthening the battery materials supply chain in North America. We continue to make progress with product qualification, which is a rigorous, multi-stage process that ensures our materials meet individual customer requirements as well as standards for quality, consistency and performance.

During the first quarter of 2025, we continued installing and commissioning equipment at Riverside, including graphitization furnaces, rail offloading, raw coke processing, milling, shaping, blending, sieving and finishing equipment, for the initial production line of 3,000 tonnes per annum. We continue to make progress towards completing the installation of key equipment toward this capacity milestone and commissioning equipment and qualifying material to meet production for Panasonic Energy.

China currently has over 95% market share for battery grade graphite.1 The current administration is focused on processed critical minerals and their importance in bolstering U.S. national and economic security interests and is utilizing tariffs as a tool to encourage the onshoring of manufacturing capabilities. We anticipate tariffs on Chinese product benefitting our business in the long run. At the same time, tariffs impact the price, availability, and timing of delivery of certain key construction inputs, such as steel, and critical equipment, required to build out our Riverside facility. The full impact of broader macroeconomic conditions is difficult to quantify currently. We will continue to closely monitor key macroeconomic trends and the impacts of tariffs and will provide updated timing expectations for the Company’s key activities as we are able.

Finalized Purchase and Sale Agreement for Enterprise South Land
Post-Quarter Announcement
To meet increasing customer demand, the Company previously announced plans for its next large-scale synthetic graphite manufacturing plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee. In April, the Company announced the execution of a definitive agreement to purchase a 182-acre parcel in the Enterprise South Industrial Park in Chattanooga, Tennessee. This milestone follows the recent unanimous approvals from the City of Chattanooga, Hamilton County, and the Chattanooga

Industrial Development Board, completing the necessary local government endorsements for the acquisition.

The land will be acquired for approximately US$5 million and is the site for NOVONIX's second facility of high-performance synthetic graphite. This new facility is expected to reach an initial production capacity of 31,500 tonnes per annum (“tpa”) and is anticipated to create 450 to 500 full-time jobs. With this initial capacity at Enterprise South and its existing Riverside facility, which is scaling up to 20,000 tpa, NOVONIX will have total production capacity of over 50,000 tpa in Chattanooga.

The Company is expected to receive approximately US$54 million in total net tax and other benefits from the City of Chattanooga and Hamilton County over a 15-year period, contingent upon meeting specific conditions outlined in the agreement. The Company does not intend to close on the purchase of the Enterprise South land until such time as the conditions precedent related to the conditionally committed US$754 million loan ($692 million in principal and $62.8 million in capitalized interest) from the Loan Programs Office of the U.S. Department of Energy have been satisfied.

US Graphite Producers Win Preliminary ITC Trade Case Ruling
In December 2024, the American Active Anode Material Producers, of which NOVONIX is a member, initiated a case with the International Trade Commission (“ITC”) and the U.S. Department of Commerce (“Commerce”) under the jurisdiction of U.S. antidumping and countervailing duty statutes to investigate whether China is exporting natural and synthetic graphite used to make lithium-ion battery anode material at unfair prices to the United States and sought import tariffs as a remedy. In February, the ITC made the preliminary determination that China has suppressed the establishment of the domestic graphite industry by exporting artificially cheap graphite to the United States and violated antidumping statutes. The Company awaits a preliminary determination from Commerce in the countervailing duty investigation.

Technology License Agreement with Harper International
In January, NOVONIX entered into an exclusive license agreement with its long-time technology partner, Harper International Corporation (“Harper”), for the rights and use of its continuous, induction-based graphitization furnace technology.

In December 2020, NOVONIX and Harper entered into an exclusive use agreement under which the parties agreed to develop innovative graphitization furnace technology to be used to produce synthetic graphite anode material for the lithium-ion battery sector. This partnership provided for commitments from NOVONIX to purchase from Harper, and from Harper to develop and

exclusively supply NOVONIX with proprietary systems for thermal processing material for the battery anode market.

The license agreement expands upon the relationship and provides NOVONIX the right to an exclusive license to Harper’s technology on which its continuous graphitization furnaces operate. No later than December 2025, NOVONIX must make an initial payment to gain a license to design and develop graphitization furnace technology for its internal use. NOVONIX will have the exclusive license to use the technology to further develop the furnaces used for the thermal production of graphite material for use in the battery anode market. Upon equipment meeting certain performance objectives, and NOVONIX’s payment of additional licensing fees, the license will expand to include NOVONIX’s right to build equipment using the licensed technology, either internally or through other permitted sublicensees.

Worley’s 23rd Annual Petcoke Conference | Las Vegas, Nevada
In March, Harrison Kreafle, Director of Anode Technology for NOVONIX, was invited to speak at Worley’s Annual Petcoke Conference. Mr. Kreafle discussed NOVONIX’s role in the supply chain and the need for new and cleaner process technologies. Also covered were the Company’s expansion plans and how, by leveraging new process technologies, our team can produce a range of products to meet the individual needs of our customers. Petroleum coke is a key component of the final properties of graphite and balance is required to achieve technical properties and maintain economics.

NOVONIX Battery Technology Solutions (BTS)
This quarter, BTS saw strong growth in its Ultra-High Precision Coulometry hardware business, driven by sales to seven new customers.

In addition to our anode materials business, we continue to make significant strides in proving the value of our patented all-dry, zero-waste cathode synthesis technology. We have had key patents granted and are now focused on the scale-up and commercialization of our cathode process technology and are in active discussions with potential partners and continue to provide mid- and high-nickel samples. This quarter, NOVONIX Cathode Materials continued to advance commercial discussions while providing samples of various chemistries to OEMs as well as Tier 1 cathode and cell manufacturers.

Webinar Presentation: All-Dry, Zero-Waste Cathode Synthesis: Technology-Enabling Solutions to Sustainable, Low-Cost Materials Production

In April 2025, Dr. Mark McArthur hosted a webinar focused on NOVONIX’s patented all-dry, zero-waste, cathode synthesis technology. The cathode is the most expensive component of a lithium-ion battery cell, and its electrochemical performance and production methods are critical to optimizing the battery’s overall cost structure. Nickel-based cathode materials, such as NMC, are an excellent compromise between cost, performance, and safety for electric vehicle and energy storage applications. However, their production is complicated and generates large quantities of waste. NOVONIX introduced a new patented method to synthesize NMC powders in a completely
