BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS

During the nine-month period ended March 31, 2024, the Corporation continued to focus on developing markets for its graphene products and developing down stream pre-mixed additives and products that facilitate such introduction. The Corporation has been successful in the integration of GrapheneBlack in multiple streams of products, both internally and externally. The Corporation continues its engagement with many potential customers who are currently validating GrapheneBlack and GrapheneBlack improved masterbatches, concentrates, and products.

5-year strategic and investment plan update

The Corporation has begun executing on its 5-year strategic and investment plan that was announced last year. The plan represents an increase in the production capacity of graphene, battery materials and graphene enhanced masterbatch, compound and composite products.

As part as its 5-year strategic and investment plan:

1- The Corporation, via VoltaXplore, has agreed on commercial terms for the supply of Li-ion battery cells with a well-known commercial vehicle OEM. Battery cells will be produced in VoltaXplore's gigafactory. The agreement is for 1 GWh per year for a duration of 10 years following a pricing formula that passes through raw material cost to the customer.

2- The Corporation has been awarded three programs from two existing customers, one large commercial vehicle OEM and one industrial equipment manufacturer, to supply exterior parts of vehicles. These components are used in both internal combustion engines and electric vehicles. Production for the first program will begin in 2024 while the start of production for the other two programs is planned for 2026. These programs generally last for a period of 10 years. The Corporation estimates that these programs will generate $24M in annual sales at mature volumes along with a one-time tooling revenue of $10M. The Corporation has already secured the related manufacturing equipment to fulfill these orders and the expansion of the North Carolina facility is ongoing.

3- The Corporation has been asked by one of our customers to expand its Saint-Clotilde-de-Beauce facility to allow for an expansion of a graphene-enhanced part we currently supply. This expansion, which is part of the lightweighting initiative, will be mostly paid by our customer. Consequently, the previously announced SMC lightweighting initiative capex of $30M to $35M will now be in a range of $25M to $30M.

4- Following further engineering and updated quoting of the equipment related to the Corporation's 5-year strategic and investment plan, required capital for execution of the plan reduced from originally announced $170M to around $140M. The Corporation is planning to finance the required capital mostly through a long-term credit facility and government support.

Successful commissioning of graphene-enhanced silicon and anode active material pilot lines

During the nine-month period ended March 31, 2024, the Corporation successfully completed the commissioning of two anode material pilot lines, achieving remarkable energy density and product validation.

1- The SiG™ pilot line has a capacity of 100 tons per year. SiG™ is a graphene enhanced silicon additive for anode materials in Li-ion batteries. Its addition results in enhanced energy density and charging speed.

2- The SG-X™ pilot line, featuring three coated spherical purified graphite (CSPG) anode materials, has a capacity of 200 tons per year. SG-X™ is a graphite-based anode material with different carbon and graphene coatings used as anode active material for Li-ion batteries.

R&D Improvement: Large-Scale dry process for manufacturing of graphene

The Corporation achieved graphite exfoliation with the successful development of a novel dry graphene manufacturing process. The novel dry graphene manufacturing process has several benefits compared to the traditional liquid exfoliation methods. In terms of capital expenditures, the dry manufacturing process delivers nearly 50% reduction versus the liquid exfoliation process. According to the Corporation's current estimation, a net 8 000 metric tons capacity requires only $20M in capital expenditures, with a quarter of the current square footage required as opposed to the liquid exfoliation process. NanoXplore has secured key suppliers, ensuring a robust supply chain for the main equipment. Equipment procurement is streamlined with off-the-shelf solutions, with an estimated lead time of 8-12 months. The Corporation is planning to start purchasing the equipment during the 2024 calendar year.

The novel dry graphene manufacturing process could bring NanoXplore within cost parity with traditional carbon additives such as carbon black. The cost reduction results primarily from using low grade waste graphite (which is derived from graphite anode production process) as feedstock. Furthermore, it is highly scalable and operates on a continuous basis, streamlining production efficiency. Superior processability and long-term performance of dry-processed graphene offers a more attractive proposition and will expand the Corporation's total addressable market and accelerates commercial adoption of graphene.

With granted patents already secured, this proprietary technology boosts some key physical properties in polymers by 20% compared to existing products for applications with over 20-yr longevity requirements. The technology finds potential applications in batteries and lightweight composites, enhancing its appeal in cutting-edge industries. This new manufacturing process also opens doors to a myriad of applications, including plastic pipes, geosynthetics, recycled plastics, concrete, drilling fluids, and insulation foams, among others.

The new dry manufacturing process marks a paradigm shift, substantially reducing the environmental footprint associated with traditional graphite exfoliation methods and addresses environmental concerns associated with water usage, as well as eliminating washing and drying steps that contribute to increased costs and environmental impact.

Total liquidity

As at March 31, 2024, the Corporation had total liquidity of $40,149,612 including cash and cash equivalents and availability under the Corporation's credit facility.

Long-term debt

The total long-term debt decreased from $7,875,888 as at June 30, 2023 to $5,515,205 as at March 31, 2024 for a variation of $2,360,683. Repayments amounted to $2,456,836 during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2024.

Results of operations may include certain unusual and other items which have been separately disclosed, where appropriate, in order to provide a clear assessment of the underlying Corporation results. In addition to IFRS measures, management uses non-IFRS measures in the Corporation's disclosures that it believes provide the most appropriate basis on which to evaluate the Corporation's results.

  • NON-IFRSMEASURES

This MD&A was prepared using results and financial information determined under IFRS. However, the Corporation considers certain non-IFRS financial measures as useful additional information in measuring the financial performance and condition of the Corporation. These measures, which the Corporation believes are widely used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in evaluating the Corporation's performance, do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other publicly traded companies, nor should they be construed as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. Non-IFRS measures include "Adjusted EBITDA".

Adjusted EBITDA

  1. From Advanced materials, plastics and composite products

The adjusted EBITDA improved from $469,975 in Q3-2023 to $1,259,990 in Q3-2024. The variation is explained as follows:

  • Gross margin on revenues from customers increased by $1,331,868 compared to the last year period due to favourable product mix, improved productivity and cost control;
  • Partially offset by:
    o Lower other income of $204,628 as explained above; and
    o Higher administrative expenses (SG&A and R&D) of $497,988 mainly due to additional headcounts and higher wages, including higher accrued variable compensation.
  1. From Battery cells

The adjusted EBITDA passed from -$18,270 in Q3-2023 to -$688,022 in Q3-2024. The variation is explained by the administrative expenses (G&A and R&D) of $689,607 due to the acquisition of the Martinrea share in VoltaXplore.

Loss

The loss increased from $2,447,604 in Q3-2023 to $3,089,430 in Q3-2024. The variation is mainly explained as follows:

  • Higher depreciation and amortization of $658,337 mainly due to the acquisition of the Martinrea share in VoltaXplore;
  • Higher share-based compensation expenses of $284,154;
  • Lower interest revenue of $146,961;
  • Partially offset by an increase in adjusted EBITDA of $120,263 as explained above.
