NOVONIX Anode Materials (NAM)

Global battery supply chains are facing heightened pressure from shifting trade policies, export controls, and escalating demand for critical minerals. China’s restrictions on graphite exports have amplified concerns around the security of supply for battery-grade materials. At the same time, recent policy developments and government policy in the United States, are accelerating the push to localize the battery materials ecosystem and reduce reliance on foreign sources.

 

img61739576_4.jpg

The 45X production tax credit, a centerpiece of the IRA and recently extended in OBBBA, directly incentivizes domestic production of batteries and battery components, including synthetic graphite, while requiring material inputs to be free from ties to Prohibited Foreign Entities (PFE). NOVONIX is a Tennessee-based producer of synthetic graphite and a key player in securing the U.S. critical mineral supply chain. As a 100% domestic manufacturer with no ties to PFEs, NOVONIX qualifies under these provisions without impacting any of its existing credits or offtake arrangements. With binding supply agreements in place with three Tier 1 battery makers and Phillips 66 Company as its largest shareholder, NOVONIX is well positioned to meet growing demand for compliant, high-performance anode materials and to play a leading role in strengthening North America’s energy security.

Our Riverside facility is poised to become the first large-scale synthetic graphite production site in North America, with its 20,000 tpa capacity fully allocated through long-term offtake agreements with Panasonic Energy, Stellantis, and PowerCo. These partnerships, alongside continued facility build-out and customer product qualification, reinforce our role as a leading provider of strategic critical minerals which strengthens the domestic battery materials supply chain.

In the first two quarters of 2025, the Company supplied advanced samples of synthetic graphite material to 13 different customers and potential customers for their battery, energy storage, and industrial applications.

In June 2023, the Company and LG Energy Solution ("LGES") entered into a joint development agreement ("JDA") to develop synthetic graphite anode material, upon successful development of which the parties intended to enter into a purchase agreement. On 1 July 2025, the JDA formally expired in accordance with its terms. However, the Company continues to actively work with LGES to jointly develop materials to LGES' specifications.

In the second quarter of 2025, the Company continued to progress equipment installation and commissioning at Riverside. This included installation of graphitization furnaces and finishing systems as well as raw material processing and micronization equipment for our initial production line. We now have a total of four furnaces fully installed at Riverside and completed installation of substantially all required mass production equipment for our lead customer, Panasonic.

U.S. tariffs on Chinese materials, including those announced by Commerce this quarter as discussed below, are expected to further support the Company’s competitive position. However, tariffs may also affect the cost and timing of key construction inputs. The full impact of broader macroeconomic conditions is currently difficult to quantify. We

 

img61739576_5.jpg

will continue to closely monitor key macroeconomic trends, ongoing supply chain issues, and the impacts of tariffs and will provide updated timing expectations for the Company’s key activities as we are able.

 

Executed Purchase and Sale Agreement for Enterprise South Land

To support growing customer demand, NOVONIX is continuing to advance plans for a second large-scale synthetic graphite facility in Chattanooga, Tennessee. In April, the Company signed a definitive agreement to purchase a 182-acre site in the Enterprise South Industrial Park, following unanimous approvals from the City of Chattanooga, Hamilton County, and the Chattanooga Industrial Development Board.

img61739576_2.jpg

 

 

Upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, the land will be acquired for approximately US$5 million. This new facility is expected to reach an initial production capacity of 31,500 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.

 

U.S. Department of Commerce may place up to 721% tariffs on Chinese graphite

This quarter, the U.S Department of Commerce (“Commerce”) announced its preliminary affirmative determination to impose up to 721% of countervailing duty (“CVD”) tariffs on synthetic and natural graphite anode material from China. In February, the International Trade Commission (“ITC”) announced its preliminary determination asserting that China suppressed the establishment of the graphite industry in the United States (and elsewhere) by exporting artificially cheap graphite which is a key component of lithium-ion batteries.

 

U.S. Department of Commerce announces preliminary determination on antidumping duty investigation (Post Quarter Announcement)

In July, Commerce announced its intention to impose antidumping (AD) tariffs of 93.5% on anode active material (“AAM”), which includes synthetic and natural graphite imports from China. The effective tariff rate for AAM is now 160%, which includes the previously announced CVD tariffs of 11.5% placed by Commerce in May, President Trump’s blanket 30% tariffs on goods from China, and 25% Section 301 tariffs implemented by USTR last year.

This decision underscores the strategic importance of building a domestic supply chain for critical minerals, including synthetic graphite, in North America. It affirms our business strategy as well as the diversification strategy of our customers to source critical battery materials and components locally. NOVONIX, with the most advanced synthetic graphite production facility in North America, will be increasing significantly the United States production of an essential strategic mineral while strengthening American manufacturing, and creating high-quality jobs locally.

img61739576_2.jpg

 

 

The AD investigation determines whether the graphite is being sold at less than fair value (“dumped”), while the CVD investigation previously announced on 1 May 2025, determines whether the Chinese government is subsidizing the production and supply of graphite AAM to the United States. The additional AD tariff announced by Commerce in July will now stack onto the previously announced CVD tariffs. The final determinations for both the AD and CVD investigations are expected to be issued around 5 December 2025.
