Most advanced producer of synthetic graphite in North America and one of the only U.S.-based companies commercializing a domestic alternative
We are production ready and preparing to deliver a qualifying mass production sample to our lead customer, Panasonic Energy, in 2026
Feedstock Advantage - Strategic partnership with Phillips 66, ensuring a stable, domestic raw material supply chain and reducing waste
Proprietary furnace technology far superior to traditional graphitization processes, with lower energy usage and environmental impact and does not depend on any Chinese equipment, IP, or know-how
Proudly headquartered in Chattanooga, Tennessee
* Agreements require final product qualification.

Chinese Concentration
China is the world's largest producer and exporter of synthetic graphite with ~GG% produced in China or by Chinese-controlled companies1
On December 1, 2023, China imposed export controls on certain graphite products and further tightened these controls in December 20242 and again in October 20253
Synthetic graphite is designated on the U.S. Geological Survey's Critical Minerals List, underscoring its economic and national security importance
Dependence on concentrated synthetic graphite supply presents a significant risk to U.S. energy / defense, and global supply security
Current methods for manufacturing Synthetic Graphite cannot be permitted in countries with environmental standards

Some of these controls (particularly for "legacy" contracts) are relaxed until November 2026

The NOVONIX
Difference
Synthetic Graphite Know-How Gained Over 10 Years of IP Development
Outside of China, there is no established synthetic graphite processing knowledge-base that covers defining and measuring specifications, purpose-built equipment, and material formulations
NOVONIX has spent the last decade developing these capabilities alongside customers to achieve the performance demanded by EV and ESS applications
Divestitures Aimed at Aligning Capital with Strategic FocusBattery Technology Solutions
Announced pending divestiture of Battery Technology Services (BTS) division in Feb'26
BTS was not receiving resources needed to meet growth objectives
Cathode materials business is at an early stage which will require additional investments for product development (NVX retains 15% ownership)
Mount Dromedary
Divested mining rights in northern Ǫueensland in Sept'25
Natural Graphite market share is shrinking relative to Synthetic Graphite; NOVONIX does not have the mining know-how, technology, or resources required to be a mining company

plans and capital availability. NVX will add production lines at facilities to generally align with contracted volumes
The volumes shown are management's annual estimates of the offtakes for PowerCo and Panasonic
Tonnes Per Annum (TPA)
year commitment totaling 10,000 tonnes following successful qualification
year commitment for a minimum of 32,000 tonnes starting in 2027
Continuing discussions with other Tier 1 cell manufacturers and OEMs expected to lead to additional contracted volumes of synthetic graphite
