NOVONIX Enterprise Overview
NOVONIX has made significant progress in the path to becoming a world-leading battery materials and technology company. The Group continues to see its future prospects will be enabled by its Battery Technology Solutions (BTS) division. BTS is already serving a key role to fuel the growth of the anode materials business today, and develop the cathode materials business and new opportunities for the future.
OPERATIONAL STRUCTURE AT A GLANCE
This synergistic operating structure is integral to the company's current business development and future strategy.
NOVONIX continues to invest in intellectual property for key material technologies, including anode and cathode, that we believe will enhance the performance of long-life EV and ESS applications. Our NOVONIX BTS division, based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada has a full cell pilot line, extensive cell testing capabilities and works with tier-one customers across the battery value chain.
As part of our investment in intellectual property, we continue our collaboration with Prof. Mark Obrovac's lab and pursuant to the terms of the collaborative research agreement with Dalhousie University, NOVONIX exclusively owns all intellectual property developed within the group without any ongoing obligations to Dalhousie University.


Further enhancing the company's R&D talent, on July 1, 2021, Professor Jeff Dahn, a renowned researcher in battery materials and processes officially joined the NOVONIX team as Chief Scientific Advisor.
Our NOVONIX Anode Materials division, located in Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA, manufactures synthetic graphite anode materials used to make lithium-ion batteries which power electric vehicles, personal electronics, medical devices, and energy storage units. To address the growing industry demand, we are working to increase the production capacity to 10,000 metric tons of synthetic graphite per annum (tpa) by 2023, with further targets of 40,000 tpa by 2025 and 150,000 tpa by 2030.

6
In August 2021, Phillips 66 announced a USD$150 million investment in NOVONIX for approximately 16% of the Company and more recently signed a technology development agreement leveraging both parties' expertise to collaborate on development and optimisation of feedstock and anode processing with the goal of higher performance and lower carbon intensity materials. This partnership has been transformational in fortifying the company's balance sheet while enhancing the company's industry network across the value chain.
NOVONIX BATTERY TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS (BTS) DIVISION
NOVONIX BTS is based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada and provides battery R&D services and manufactures the most accurate lithium-ion battery cell test equipment in the world. This equipment is now used by leading battery makers, researchers and equipment manufacturers including Panasonic, CATL, LG Chemical, Samsung SDI and SK Innovation and numerous consumer electronics and automotive OEMs. The BTS division significantly expanded R&D capabilities through direct investment in and through a long-term partnership agreement with Dalhousie University.
In the first half of the fiscal year, NOVONIX BTS continued strong revenue growth each quarter with expansion of hardware sales and research and development service offerings by adding and expanding key strategic accounts.
In August 2021, NOVONIX completed the expansion of its existing facility to approximately 22,000 square feet (from approximately 13,500 square feet). The company also acquired a second, 35,000 square foot facility in May 2021 for use in its BTS division. This additional space will enable growth in revenue-based activities and, more importantly, cathode commercialisation and new internal development work.
NOVONIX ANODE MATERIALS DIVISION
NOVONIX Anode Materials division focuses on development and commercialisation of ultra-long-life high-performance anode material for the lithium-ion battery market focused on electric vehicle and energy storage applications that demand long life and high performance.
In the first half of the fiscal year, NOVONIX advanced its goal of expanding its production capacity for battery-grade synthetic graphite material. NOVONIX closed on the purchase of a 400,000+ square-foot facility in Chattanooga, Tennessee, now referred to as "Riverside", that is planned to be the site for expansion to at least 10,000 tonnes per year of production capacity by 2023. In November 2021, Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm attended an inaugural celebration at Riverside as the keynote speaker.
Additionally, NOVONIX Anode Materials division has initiated work on further expansion plans beyond Riverside with the scope of the planned 30,000 tpa (Phase 2) plant build-out. This work includes site selection, plant layout, engineering design and feasibility and involves working with private sector firms and multiple levels of government.
Through the June 2021 quarter, NOVONIX produced anode materials using the Generation 2 furnace system to support next steps in customer qualification programs. As of July 2021, the first mass production materials from the Generation 2 furnace system were shipped to SANYO Electric for qualification. The company's agreements with two of the world's largest battery manufacturers (Samsung SDI and SANYO Electric Co., a subsidiary of Panasonic Corporation) have continued with plans to defer deliveries or subsequent materials to provide samples that will meet specifications using Generation 3 furnaces. We continue sampling and testing engagements with other key battery and automotive manufacturers with expansion plans in North America.
7
After the first half of the fiscal year, in January 2022, NOVONIX announced the execution of definitive transaction agreements and closing of its investment and supply agreements with KORE Power, Inc. ("KORE Power") to advance and strengthen the domestic lithium-ion battery supply chain. Through this partnership, NOVONIX will be the exclusive supplier of graphite anode material to KORE Power through a five-year supply agreement, with deliveries ramping up from 3,000 tonnes per annum beginning 2024, ramping up to 12,000 tonnes per annum. In addition, NOVONIX acquired an approximate 5% stake in KORE Power with USD $25 million consideration paid in a combination of 50% cash and 50% NVX shares.
The global demand for high-performance anode materials continues to increase exponentially. The same desire for a localised supply chain of battery materials also grows in other jurisdictions outside of the United States. Companies are seeking partnerships with dependable and qualified suppliers who can accelerate execution and scale production of high-performance anode materials quickly within their domestic markets. NOVONIX Anode Materials division is well-positioned to capitalise on international collaboration opportunities, having shown industry excellence in qualified material production and a demonstrated track record of scalability.
NOVONIX CATHODE MATERIALS DIVISION
NOVONIX Cathode Materials division leverages patent pending Dry Particle Microgranulation (DPMG) to eliminate wastewater and use simpler metal inputs to reduce cathode manufacturing costs or improve yield in cathode manufacturing. It expects total nickel-based cathode material demand could increase from 365Kt in 2020 to up to 3,658Kt in 2030, and NOVONIX's cathode synthesis technology is well-positioned to become a part of supporting the large growth in the cathode market for the lithium-ion battery industry. These single-crystal materials offer enhanced energy density and long life and NOVONIX's synthesis technology could further improve the cost, performance and sustainability of these materials which would be targeted for use in electric vehicles and energy storage applications.
The cathode commercialisation project is progressing since the completion of the first phase, kilogram scale, pilot line in January 2021. NOVONIX is working to meet key testing milestones over the next 12-18 months as it expands its next phase of pilot-scale with a 10 tonnes per annum capable demonstration line coming online in 2022. This demonstration line will be used to produce materials with commercial scale equipment and evaluate material performance in cells built on NOVONIX BTS' battery line. The team expects to progress into full-scale cell builds and begin more extensive benchmarking tests by the end of the fiscal year.
We commissioned our new on-site analytical lab and these capabilities coupled with the access to BTS' pilot line and cell testing resources allows the team to efficiently work on the synthesis and analysis of new materials. The team has also opened engagement with multiple current commercial precursor and cathode suppliers to discuss the company's technology and current state of demonstration capability in terms of synthesising capability and performance. In the first half of this fiscal year, NOVONIX also engaged with multiple established and potential lithium suppliers in material evaluation programs which build on the company's initiatives in cathode precursor as well as final cathode synthesis technology.
8
NOVONIX recently partnered with Next Generation Manufacturing Canada (NGen) which announced CAD$1.675 million in grant funding towards a nearly CAD$18 million investment in facilities, equipment and people with a focus on the installation and operation of the new cathode synthesis demonstration line. This new facility will play a role in building a Canadian battery materials supply chain, limiting the current dependence on Asia and capitalizing on the tremendous growth in this sector created by the increased demand for electric vehicles and grid energy storage.
The company is in the process of pursuing foundational patent applications to further position NOVONIX to become a market leader in cathode synthesis technology and plans to provide updates as applicable.
MOUNT DROMEDARY
The Mount Dromedary Graphite Project is a world-class, high-grade (18%+) natural graphite deposit located in Australia.
Despite the favourable characteristics of this natural graphite deposit, the project was put on hold given the substantially more favourable investment opportunities for the company through the manufacturing of advanced battery anode materials and the development of new battery technologies. Management is conducting a strategic review of the graphite deposit asset. The company continues to hold the project in good standing while monitoring the market.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Note 1
Basis of preparation

This condensed consolidated interim financial report for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2021 has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001. These financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), as applicable to the interim financial reporting.

This condensed consolidated interim financial report does not include all the notes normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2021 and any public announcements made by the company during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

a)
Going Concern
The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As disclosed in the financial report, the consolidated entity incurred a net loss of $28,847,413 (31 December 2020: $10,767,755) and net operating cash outflows of $15,734,017 for the half year ended 31 December 2021 (31 December 2020: $4,025,817). As at 31 December 2021 the consolidated entity has a cash balance of $259,504,802 (30 June 2021: $136,663,976) and net current assets of $280,499,518 (30 June 2021: $138,671,009).
The directors believe that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate as the existing cash and cash equivalents will enable the Group to fund the expected working capital and capital expenditure requirements, including those necessary to achieve the planned capacity expansion to an expected 10,000 tonnes per year by early 2023.
The directors believe that the Phillips 66 capital raise in September 2021 ($208m) will help support a capacity expansion of an additional 30,000 tonnes per year, which is expected to be completed by 2025. It is likely that additional capital will be required to be raised in order to fund such further expansion, however, the Group is not currently committed to the capital expenditure or working capital commitments required to fund this expansion. The directors believe that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate as the consolidated entity has a strong history of being able to raise capital from debt and equity sources, including raising equity of $208 million in September 2021 and $115 million in March 2021.
The Directors have considered the impact of COVID 19 and found that the pandemic has not had a significant effect on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
19
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

Note 1
Basis of preparation (continued)

b)
Historical cost convention
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for, where applicable, the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, investment properties, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments.

c)
New and amended standards adopted by the Group
There were no new or amended standards adopted by the Group in the six months ended 31 December 2021. These interim financial statements follow the same accounting policies as compared to the 30 June 2021 consolidated financial statements and related notes as filed with the Australian Securities Exchange.
Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

d)
Critical accounting estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements were set out in the 2021 Annual Report.

20
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
Note 2
Segment and revenue reporting
The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (Chief Operating Decision Makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. The Company is managed primarily on an operational basis. Operating segments are determined on the basis of financial information reported to the Board.
The board has identified three operating segments being Battery Materials (NOVONIX Anode Materials ('NAM')), Battery Technology (NOVONIX Battery Technology Solutions ('BTS') and NOVONIX Cathode Materials), and Graphite Exploration and Mining (Mt Dromedary Project). The Battery Materials segment develops and manufactures battery anode materials and the Battery Technology segment develops battery cell testing equipment, carries out consulting services and research and development in battery technologies.
Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments

a.
Accounting policies adopted
Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the Board of Directors, being the chief operating decision makers with respect to operating segments, are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent with those adopted in the annual financial statements of the Group.

b.
Segment assets
Where an asset is used across multiple segments, the asset is allocated to the segment that receives the majority of the economic value from the asset. In most instances, segment assets are clearly identifiable on the basis of their nature and physical location.

c.
Segment liabilities
Liabilities are allocated to segments where there is a direct nexus between the incurrence of the liability and the operations of the segment. Borrowings and tax liabilities are generally considered to relate to the Group as a whole and are not allocated.

d.
Unallocated items
The following items for revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities are not allocated to operating segments as they are not considered part of the core operations of any segment:

-
Interest income

-
Corporate administrative and other expenses

-
Income tax expense

-
Corporate share-based payment expenses

-
Corporate marketing and project development expenses

-
Corporate cash and cash equivalents

The facility is repayable in monthly instalments, which commenced in December 2017 and ending November 2042.
The Group's freehold land and buildings at 177 Bluewater Road, Bedford, Canada are pledged as collateral against the bank loan. The carrying amount of this asset is $4,060,643 (June 2021: $3,104,819).

Borrowings (continued)
(c)
On 28 July 2021, the Group purchased commercial land and buildings in Chattanooga, USA for USD $42,600,000 to expand the NAM business. The Group entered into a loan facility with PNC Real Estate for USD$30,100,000 to purchase the land and buildings. The loan has been fully drawn down as at 31 December 2021. The total liability at 31 December 2021 is USD $29,874,538. The facility is repayable in monthly instalments, which commenced in September 2021 and ending August 2031. The land and buildings at 1029 West 19th Street, Chattanooga, USA have been pledged as security for the loan, the carrying amount of which is $57,607,103.
(ii) Other loans
ACOA Loans
In December 2017, the group entered into a contribution agreement with Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA), for CAD$500,000. As at 31 December 2021, CAD$500,000 of the facility has been drawn down. The funding was to assist with expanding the market to reach new customers through marketing and product improvements. The facility is repayable in monthly instalments which commenced in September 2019 and ending May 2027.
In October 2018, the group entered into another contribution agreement with Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA), for CAD$500,000. As at 31 December 2021, CAD$500,000 of the facility has been drawn down. The funding was to assist in establishing a battery cell manufacturing facility. The facility is repayable in monthly instalments which commenced in April 2020 and ending December 2026.
During the half year, the group entered into a further contribution agreement with Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA), for CAD$250,000. As at 31 December 2021, CAD $125,000 of the facility has been drawn down. The funding was to assist in expanding the BTS operations. The facility is repayable in monthly instalments commencing January 2024 and ending December 2026.
(iii) Fair value
For all borrowings, other than the ACOA loan noted at (ii) above, the fair values are not materially different to their carrying amounts, since the interest payable on those borrowings is either close to current market rates or the borrowings are of a short-term nature.
The ACOA loans are interest free. The initial fair value of the ACOA loans were determined using a market interest rate for equivalent borrowings at the issue date. This resulted in a day one gain of $100,152 in FY2018 (December 2017 loan), a day 1 gain of $114,106 in FY2019 (October 2018 loan) and a day 1 gain of $21,214 in the current reporting period.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT


Independent auditor's review report to the members of Novonix Limited

Report on the half-year financial report

Conclusion
We have reviewed the half-year financial report of Novonix Limited (the Company) and the entities it controlled during the half-year (together the Group), which comprises the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2021, the consolidated statement of changes in equity, consolidated statement of cash flows and consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the half-year ended on that date, significant accounting policies and explanatory notes and the directors' declaration.

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the accompanying half-year financial report of Novonix Limited does not comply with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

1.
giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 31 December 2021 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date

2.
complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for conclusion
We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (ASRE 2410). Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the review of the half-year financial report section of our report.

We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to the audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

Responsibilities of the directors for the half-year financial report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's responsibilities for the review of the half-year financial report
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. ASRE 2410 requires us to conclude whether we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 31 December 2021 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date, and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
