presence in North America, NOVONIX’s product development and sampling efforts are tailored to meet the specific product requirements of Panasonic Energy’s U.S. plants.
In February 2024, NOVONIX announced the signing of a binding supply agreement for high-performance synthetic graphite anode material to be supplied to Panasonic Energy’s North American operations from NOVONIX’s Riverside facility. Under the supply agreement, Panasonic Energy has agreed to purchase at least 10,000 tonnes of anode material for use in their U.S. plants over the term of 2025-2028. The mutually agreed pricing structure incorporates a mechanism for adjusting the price in response to significant changes in NOVONIX’s raw material costs.
In May 2024, NOVONIX entered into the TDA with PowerCo SE, a battery cell company established by the Volkswagen Group in 2022 to spearhead global battery cell production with a collective capacity of up to 200 GWh/year. This collaborative effort will see NOVONIX engage in the development, testing, and analysis of synthetic graphite anode materials customized to meet PowerCo’s specifications. Upon the successful conclusion of designated development tasks outlined in the TDA, NOVONIX and PowerCo may proceed to negotiate a supply agreement for the developed products. The TDA holds the potential for future collaboration between NOVONIX and PowerCo, with a particular focus on addressing the needs of PowerCo’s St. Thomas facility in Ontario, Canada. This collaboration aims to reinforce the development of the North American battery materials supply chain.
Financing Support
NOVONIX has sought to take advantage of the programs being provided by the U.S. government to support its efforts to build large scale manufacturing of anode materials to supply OEMs and Tier 1 Cell Manufacturers that are building manufacturing facilities for the EV and ESS battery markets. Through the Riverside facility, NOVONIX has been selected to receive a US$100 million grant from the Department of Energy (“DOE”) Manufacturing & Energy Supply Chains (“MESC”) and a US$103 section 48C Investment Tax Credit (“48C tax credit”). NOVONIX has also applied for an Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing Program (“ATVM”) loan with the DOE Loan Programs Office (“LPO”) for a new production facility that targets an initial 30,000 tpa capacity. The Company also believes there are certain qualification criteria in programs such as the section 30D Clean Vehicle Tax Credits (“30D”) that provide support by mandating increased percentages of critical minerals come from the U.S. and countries with certain trade agreements. An EV is not eligible for the section 30D Credit if any of its battery components or specified critical minerals are supplied by a foreign entity of concern (FEOC), including graphite in 2027.
A significant milestone achieved in March 2024 was the announcement of NOVONIX being chosen to receive a US$103 million tax credit recommended by the DOE under the Qualifying Advanced Energy Project Allocation Program (the “48C program”). This support is expected to aid in the funding of the production of essential battery materials at its Riverside facility. Originally established under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, the 48C tax credit received renewed backing through an additional US$10 billion in funding under the IRA. Under the IRA, qualifying advanced energy projects can monetize their credits by selling them for cash, in addition to using them to offset income tax liability. However, the full realization of this tax credit hinges upon meeting the requirements outlined in Section 48C of the Internal Revenue Code, as well as the operational and employment plans specified in the application to the Internal Revenue Service. The Company has a two-year window to fulfill these prerequisites and claim the 48C tax credit.

HALF-YEAR REPORT - JUNE 30, 2024
Given the competitive nature of the 48C program, with numerous applications submitted, NOVONIX is proud to be selected as one of the initial beneficiaries. The Company remains eligible for the Section 45X Production Tax Credit (“45X PTC”), which, if claimed, would provide a ten-percent tax credit on eligible production expenses at both Riverside and the new production facility. NOVONIX would only be eligible to claim either the 48C tax credit or the 45X PTC at any facility and continues to evaluate the merits of both opportunities.
Being selected for the 48C tax credit is the latest example of NOVONIX’s continued support from the U.S. government to deliver the mission of building a sustainable North American supply chain for critical battery materials.
NOVONIX’s senior leadership team highlighted the support from the DOE Office of MESC at the Riverside facility in Chattanooga, Tennessee
In November 2023, NOVONIX secured a US$100 million grant from the DOE Office of MESC to enhance domestic production of high-performance synthetic graphite anode materials at the Riverside facility in Chattanooga, Tennessee. During the first quarter, NOVONIX began submitting reimbursement requests to the DOE Office of MESC for investments made at its Riverside facility and received $1.1 million in reimbursements during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
NOVONIX continues to pursue funding support through the DOE LPO ATVM Program. In late 2022, NOVONIX formally submitted its application for a loan under the ATVM program. The loan, if received, could contribute a large component of the funding needed for the Company’s current expansion plans for NAM’s growth. In 2024, NOVONIX has continued to progress its loan application with DOE LPO.
We believe that additional funding beyond the existing cash balances as of June 30, 2024, and forecasted inflows from customers, will be required in the twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements as disclosed in Note 1 to the financial statements.

Development Progress towards Commercial Production
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, NAM continued production campaigns providing confidence and validated the performance of its Generation 3 furnace systems both in reaching operational production targets for the equipment as well as the product produced meeting its required specifications.
NOVONIX also announced the completion of an independent engineering assessment of the Company's Riverside production facility by Hatch Ltd, a global engineering and consulting firm. The assessment considered various topics including the evaluation of operations, project execution, and financial model assumptions as well as the graphite market, production technology, environmental considerations, feedstock, and supply agreements. With the independent engineering review completed, NOVONIX remains on track for its initial 3,000 tpa of commercial production capacity at the Riverside facility by the end of 2024 with all primary production equipment in place or on order for this initial production capacity.
The Company also updated its previously disclosed estimates for production economics to account for the completion of the engineering assessment and the potential positive impact of the DOE MESC grant and the 48C tax credit. The production economics, set forth in the figure below, reflect the Company’s expectations when the Riverside facility reaches its targeted capacity of 20,000 tpa.

Cathode Pilot Line
NOVONIX has continued its investment in the intellectual property associated with its all-dry, zero-waste cathode synthesis technology. The 10 tpa pilot line has reinforced the viability of the Company's cathode materials and technology for manufacturing purposes and continued to supply samples to prospective customers and partners.
The Company previously announced the successful commission of its 10 tpa cathode pilot line in July 2023. The cathode pilot line’s first product, a mid-nickel grade of single-crystal cathode material (“NMC622"), was produced using NOVONIX’s patented, all-dry, zero-waste synthesis technology, matches the performance of leading cathode materials from existing suppliers in full-cell testing. NOVONIX is using the pilot line to further demonstrate the manufacturability of the Company’s long-life cathode materials and technology, including high-nickel (e.g., NMC811) and cobalt-free materials, along with their performance in industrial format lithium-ion cells.
The technology – and the innovations resulting from it – are transformational for the battery industry by decreasing processing complexity which should result in a substantial reduction in costs and waste (e.g., elimination of sodium sulphate) in the cathode manufacturing process.
NOVONIX announced the receipt of a patent for its all-dry, zero-waste cathode synthesis technology in Japan. This patent furthers NOVONIX’s position as a leading provider of innovative technologies serving the electric vehicle and energy storage sectors by utilizing its all-dry, zero-waste cathode processing to produce high-quality, single-crystal NMC powders. The Company currently has 10 families of cathode process patent applications in various stages of examination across different jurisdictions.
During the second quarter, the Company commissioned its final piece of pilot equipment to enhance its materials synthesis capabilities. Progress continued on the development of mid- and high-nickel grades of single crystal powder (including NMC622, NMC631, NMC811, NMC90/5/5, and the cobalt-free series of NMC powders). Additional equipment was added to the analytical laboratory to more thoroughly qualify cathode variants and understand their electrochemical performance more fundamentally prior to sampling to tier-1 partners. Classes of high-nickel NMC materials are undergoing full-cell performance testing in industrial format lithium-ion cells utilizing the capabilities of BTS.
This progress and the positive performance results seen below enable the Company to advance plans to scale to larger test samples and accelerate commercial discussions with potential partners and customers. The Company continues its commercial and strategic discussions with tier-1 cathode manufacturers, cell manufacturers, and OEMs, regarding the Company’s cathode materials and technology and providing product samples to certain potential customers from the 10 tpa pilot line.
In June, NOVONIX’s all-dry, zero-waste cathode synthesis technology was recognized by Reuters Global Energy Transition Awards winning the R&D Achievement category.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024
Note 1 Basis of preparation
This condensed consolidated interim financial report for the half-year reporting period ended June 30, 2024 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 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 period ended December 31, 2023 and any public announcements made by the Group 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.
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.
The Group incurred a net loss of $
The net loss and cash outflows incurred during the period principally relate to the Group continuing to execute on its expansion plans of reaching production capacity of at least
These conditions give rise to a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt (or substantial doubt as contemplated by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) standards) over the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, and at amounts stated in the financial report.

NOVONIX Limited |

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024
Note 1 Basis of preparation (continued)
The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is principally dependent upon one or more of the following:
The directors believe that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate as the Group has a strong history of being able to raise capital from debt and equity sources, most recently through the issue of US$
The Group is continuing to actively engage with strategic partners, customers and investors to source additional funding to support the Group’s growth and fund the planned expansionary activities.
In addition, the Group was selected to receive a US$
The Group has also had a formal loan application submitted and is in the process of negotiating the terms of the loan with the DOE LPO. The Group expects to be able to utilize the loan to fund certain of the eligible project costs associated with the development of a new greenfield production facility in the southeastern United States.
This financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts or classification of liabilities and appropriate disclosures that may be necessary should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024
Note 1 Basis of preparation (continued)
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, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments.
There were no new, revised or amended standards adopted by the Group issued by the International Accounting Standards Board that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
There were no new, revised or amended accounting standards or interpretations not yet adopted by the Group for the current reporting period that are expected to materially impact the Group.
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 Annual Report for the period ended December 31, 2023. Except as noted in Note 6, no changes in critical accounting estimates were made during the six-month period ended June 30, 2024.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024
Note 2 Segment reporting
The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Executive Key Management Personnel (Chief Operating Decision Makers or “CODMs”) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. The Group is managed primarily on an operational basis. Operating segments are determined on the basis of financial information reported to the Board.
The CODMs have identified three operating segments being Battery Materials, Battery Technology, and Graphite Exploration. The Battery Materials segment develops and manufactures battery anode materials, and the Battery Technology segment develops battery cell testing equipment, performs consulting services and carries out research and development in battery development (inclusive of cathode technology). The Graphite Exploration segment involves exploration and evaluation activity, as well as maintenance and potential future development of the Mt Dromedary natural graphite deposit.
Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments
Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the CODMs, are determined in accordance with accounting policies that are consistent with those adopted in the annual financial statements of the Group.
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.
Liabilities are allocated to segments where there is a direct nexus between the incurrence of the liability and the operations of the segment.
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:

(iv) Valuation technique using significant unobservable inputs – Level 3
This category includes assets where the valuation incorporates significant inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Unobservable inputs are those not readily available in an active market due to market illiquidity or complexity of the product. These inputs are generally derived and extrapolated from observable inputs to match the risk profile of the financial instrument, and are calibrated against current market assumptions, historic transactions and economic models, where available.
The primary approach used in the determination of the fair value of the investment in KORE Power is with reference to the pricing of significant external capital raising activity undertaken by KORE Power. The most recent significant external capital raising undertaken by KORE Power was in November 2022 and no further capital raising has occurred since. The Group considered available information produced by management of KORE Power and contrasted it with the Group’s analysis of share price movements of listed peer companies in the battery technology sector and concluded that, in the aggregate, the factors and information considered would not result in a significant change in the fair value of the investment.

For the 2024 annual impairment test, the recoverable amount of the Cash Generation Unit ("CGU") was determined based on a ‘Value in Use’ (“VIU”) calculation, based on the current Riverside Project Plan which assumes that commercial offtake will commence in 2025. The calculation of VIU involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions which include volume, growth rates and gross margins used to calculate projected future cash flows. The present value of the expected cash flows is determined by applying an appropriate discount rate, which reflects the assessment of current market conditions of the time value of money.

Note 6 Non-current assets – Intangible assets (continued)
The recoverable amount of the NOVONIX Anode Materials CGU (“NAM CGU”) is deemed to be in excess of the carrying value of the NAM CGU, and therefore
The calculations use cashflow projections based on financial budgets approved by management and the Board covering a 10-year period which management has determined is appropriate to reflect the ramp up in production to get to full capacity by 2028, at which point the operations of the business will normalise.
The key assumptions used in the value in use calculations are: (i) post-tax discount rate of
Management recognizes that there are various reasons that estimates used in these assumptions may vary. Management does not believe that there are reasonably possible changes in any one key assumption that would result in the carrying amount of the NAM CGU to exceed its recoverable amount.
For the 2023 annual impairment test, the recoverable amount of the NAM CGU was determined based on a ‘Fair Value Less Costs to Sell’ (“FVLCS”) basis. To determine the recoverable amount, the FVLCS was calculated with reference to the allocated portion of the Company’s enterprise value (EV). The EV model calculation considered the following:
• The market capitalization of the Company on the (ASX:NVX) as of June 30, 2023;
• The volatility of the share price of the Company as of June 30, 2023; and
• The issuance of the convertible notes in June 2023 given that the convertible loan note issuance is directly associated with the planned future expansion of the NAM CGU.

The fair value of the conversion option (derivative financial liability) was determined using Monte Carlo Simulation methodology. The derivative financial liability is carried at fair value at each reporting date, with gains or losses being recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The remainder of the proceeds were allocated to borrowings with the liability recognised at amortised cost until extinguished on conversion or maturity of the notes. Interest is applied using the effective interest rate.
Fair Value Hierarchy
The derivative financial liability is classified as a Level 3 fair value in the fair value hierarchy as one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data.
The valuation model is sensitive to the probability weights applied to the timing of the placement of the purchase order, which is an unobservable input. In the event the purchase order is placed before the maturity date of the notes, the interest rate would become zero-coupon, and the fair value of the derivative would decrease to nil.
The valuation model is also sensitive to the assumed strike price at the time of the conversion, which is a significant unobservable input. The model assumes a strike price at the time of the conversion of AUD $
The changes in the assumed strike price in the model are non-linear and a change of AUD $

During the 2021 financial year, the Group received grant funds of USD$
The grant becomes fully earned if 90% of the performance target is achieved by March 2026, and is repayable in full if a minimum of 50% of the performance target is not achieved by March 2026. The grant is proportionately repayable between 50% and 90% of the performance target being achieved.
Accordingly, as of June 30, 2024, the full amount of the grant has been deferred and classed as a contract liability and will either be released to income (in full or proportionately) or repayable (in full or proportionately) depending on the performance target achieved by March 2026.

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 30 June 2024, 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, selected 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:
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.
Material uncertainty relating to going concern
We draw attention to Note 1 in the half-year financial report, which indicates that the group incurred a net loss of $28,710,957 and net operating cash outflows of $22,162,213 for the half-year ended 30 June 2024 and is dependent upon raising additional funding to finance its ongoing expansionary activities. These conditions, along with other matters set forth in Note 1, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our conclusion is
not modified in respect of this matter.

Liability limited by a scheme approved under Professional Standards Legislation.
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 30 June 2024 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.

| Basis of Preparation [Abstract] | |
| Basis of preparation | Note 1 Basis of preparation This condensed consolidated interim financial report for the half-year reporting period ended June 30, 2024 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 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 period ended December 31, 2023 and any public announcements made by the Group 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) The condensed consolidated interim financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of NOVONIX Limited (“Company” or “Parent Entity”) and the results of all subsidiaries during the half year ended June 30, 2024. NOVONIX Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the “Group.”
b) 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. The Group incurred a net loss of $28,710,957 (June 30, 2023: $28,098,747) and net operating cash outflows of $22,162,213 (June 30, 2023: $21,142,024) for the half-year ended June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, the Group has a cash balance of $47,132,913 (December 31, 2023: $78,713,885) and net current assets of $48,475,798 (December 31, 2023: $81,312,913). The net loss and cash outflows incurred during the period principally relate to the Group continuing to execute on its expansion plans of reaching production capacity of at least 150,000 tonnes per year aligned with expected future customer demand. The funding of these expansionary activities, which will primarily involve significant capital expenditure, additional funding beyond the existing cash balance as of June 30, 2024, and forecast inflows from customers, will be required in the twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. These conditions give rise to a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt (or substantial doubt as contemplated by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) standards) over the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, and at amounts stated in the financial report. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 Note 1 Basis of preparation (continued) The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is principally dependent upon one or more of the following: · continuing to be able to draw down on the USD$100 million grant from the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains (MESC). During the first quarter, the Company began submitting reimbursement requests to the DOE Office of MESC for investments made at its Riverside facility in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and the Group has now received US$1.1 million in reimbursements in the six months ended June 30, 2024; · the ability of the Group to raise funds as and when necessary, from either customers, governments and/or investors in the form of debt or equity; · the successful and profitable growth of the battery materials, battery consulting and battery technology businesses; and · the ability of the Group to meet its cash flow forecasts.
The directors believe that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate as the Group has a strong history of being able to raise capital from debt and equity sources, most recently through the issue of US$30 million of unsecured convertible loan notes to LG Energy Solution (LGES) in June 2023 (note 8). The Group is continuing to actively engage with strategic partners, customers and investors to source additional funding to support the Group’s growth and fund the planned expansionary activities. In addition, the Group was selected to receive a US$103 million section 48C Investment Tax Credit during the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, in connection to the Group’s Riverside project. The benefits associated with this tax credit are currently expected to be realized by the Group in 2027. The Group has also had a formal loan application submitted and is in the process of negotiating the terms of the loan with the DOE LPO. The Group expects to be able to utilize the loan to fund certain of the eligible project costs associated with the development of a new greenfield production facility in the southeastern United States. This financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts or classification of liabilities and appropriate disclosures that may be necessary should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 Note 1 Basis of preparation (continued) 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, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments. c) New and amended standards adopted by the Group There were no new, revised or amended standards adopted by the Group issued by the International Accounting Standards Board that are mandatory for the current reporting period.
d) New accounting standards and interpretations not yet adopted by the Group There were no new, revised or amended accounting standards or interpretations not yet adopted by the Group for the current reporting period that are expected to materially impact the Group. e) 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 Annual Report for the period ended December 31, 2023. Except as noted in Note 6, no changes in critical accounting estimates were made during the six-month period ended June 30, 2024. |

| Segment reporting | Note 2 Segment reporting The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Executive Key Management Personnel (Chief Operating Decision Makers or “CODMs”) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. The Group is managed primarily on an operational basis. Operating segments are determined on the basis of financial information reported to the Board.
The CODMs have identified three operating segments being Battery Materials, Battery Technology, and Graphite Exploration. The Battery Materials segment develops and manufactures battery anode materials, and the Battery Technology segment develops battery cell testing equipment, performs consulting services and carries out research and development in battery development (inclusive of cathode technology). The Graphite Exploration segment involves exploration and evaluation activity, as well as maintenance and potential future development of the Mt Dromedary natural graphite deposit. Basis of accounting for purposes of reporting by operating segments a. Accounting policies adopted Unless stated otherwise, all amounts reported to the CODMs, 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. 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 - Corporate trade and other payables - Corporate trade and other receivables NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 Note 2 Segment reporting (continued) Segment performance

| Non-current assets - Financial Assets at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss | Note 5 Non-current assets – Financial Assets at fair value through profit or loss
(i) Classification of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss The Group classifies equity investments for which it has not elected to recognise fair value gains and losses through OCI as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL). Financial assets measured at FVPL include the following:
On January 31, 2022 the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with KORE Power, Inc. (“KORE Power”) a US based developer of battery cell technology for the clean energy industry, under which NOVONIX Limited acquired 3,333,333 shares of KORE Power Common Stock at an issue price of USD$7.50 per share, representing approximately 5% of the common equity of KORE Power. The consideration for the shares in KORE Power totaled USD$25M and was settled through a combination of 50% cash and 50% through the issue of 1,974,723 ordinary shares in the Company.
The equity investment was revalued in 2022 to USD$5.00 per share, which was the share price for a significant capital raise undertaken by KORE Power in November 2022. At June 30, 2024 the investment in KORE Power represents approximately 3.7% of the common equity of KORE Power.
(ii) Amounts recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income During the half-year ended June 30, 2024 there have been no gains or losses recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income related to equity investments held at FVPL.
(iii) Fair value hierarchy US unlisted equity securities are classified as a Level 3 fair value in the fair value hierarchy as one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024
Note 5 Non-current assets – Financial Assets at fair value through profit or loss (continued) The following table presents the changes in level 3 instruments during the half-year period ended June 30, 2024:
There were no transfers between levels 1, 2 or 3 for recurring fair value measurements during the six-month period ended June 30, 2024. The Group’s policy is to recognise transfers into and out of fair value hierarchy levels as at the end of the reporting period.
(iv) Valuation technique using significant unobservable inputs – Level 3 This category includes assets where the valuation incorporates significant inputs that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). Unobservable inputs are those not readily available in an active market due to market illiquidity or complexity of the product. These inputs are generally derived and extrapolated from observable inputs to match the risk profile of the financial instrument, and are calibrated against current market assumptions, historic transactions and economic models, where available.
The primary approach used in the determination of the fair value of the investment in KORE Power is with reference to the pricing of significant external capital raising activity undertaken by KORE Power. The most recent significant external capital raising undertaken by KORE Power was in November 2022 and no further capital raising has occurred since. The Group considered available information produced by management of KORE Power and contrasted it with the Group’s analysis of share price movements of listed peer companies in the battery technology sector and concluded that, in the aggregate, the factors and information considered would not result in a significant change in the fair value of the investment. |

| Non-current assets - Intangible Assets | Note 6 Non-current assets – Intangible assets
Intangible assets, other than goodwill, have finite useful lives. The current amortisation charges for intangible assets are included under depreciation and amortisation expense in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Goodwill has an indefinite useful life. The Company performs its annual impairment testing on June 30 each year. For the purposes of impairment testing, the cash generating unit has been defined as the business to which the goodwill relates where individual cash flows can be ascertained for the purposes of discounting future cash flows.
For the 2024 annual impairment test, the recoverable amount of the Cash Generation Unit ("CGU") was determined based on a ‘Value in Use’ (“VIU”) calculation, based on the current Riverside Project Plan which assumes that commercial offtake will commence in 2025. The calculation of VIU involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions which include volume, growth rates and gross margins used to calculate projected future cash flows. The present value of the expected cash flows is determined by applying an appropriate discount rate, which reflects the assessment of current market conditions of the time value of money.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024
Note 6 Non-current assets – Intangible assets (continued) The recoverable amount of the NOVONIX Anode Materials CGU (“NAM CGU”) is deemed to be in excess of the carrying value of the NAM CGU, and therefore no impairment has been recognised as of June 30, 2024. The calculations use cashflow projections based on financial budgets approved by management and the Board covering a 10-year period which management has determined is appropriate to reflect the ramp up in production to get to full capacity by 2028, at which point the operations of the business will normalise. The key assumptions used in the value in use calculations are: (i) post-tax discount rate of 11.5%, (ii) revenue sales prices initially range from USD $7-10/Kg in line with the Group's previously disclosed estimates for production economics, with inflationary and other expected pricing increases assumed thereafter, (iii) sales volume growth rates are based on current and expected customer demand, reflecting the ramp up of production equipment commissioning and product being available for sale with no incremental production volume growth expected after full production capacity of 20,000 tpa is reached, (iv) operating costs of $6-8/Kg, based on the current Riverside Project Plan and adjusted for inflationary increases; and (v) terminal value used to extrapolate cash flows beyond the forecast period of 2.5% based on future expectations for growth in the context of inflation expectations in the country in which the NAM CGU operates. Management recognizes that there are various reasons that estimates used in these assumptions may vary. Management does not believe that there are reasonably possible changes in any one key assumption that would result in the carrying amount of the NAM CGU to exceed its recoverable amount. For the 2023 annual impairment test, the recoverable amount of the NAM CGU was determined based on a ‘Fair Value Less Costs to Sell’ (“FVLCS”) basis. To determine the recoverable amount, the FVLCS was calculated with reference to the allocated portion of the Company’s enterprise value (EV). The EV model calculation considered the following: • The market capitalization of the Company on the (ASX:NVX) as of June 30, 2023; • The volatility of the share price of the Company as of June 30, 2023; and • The issuance of the convertible notes in June 2023 given that the convertible loan note issuance is directly associated with the planned future expansion of the NAM CGU. |

| Unsecured Convertible Loan Notes and Derivative Financial Instruments | Note 8 Unsecured convertible loan notes and derivative financial instruments On June 21, 2023, the Group issued 45,221,586 convertible loan notes, with a face value of AUD$1.00 per note, a coupon rate of 4%, and a maturity date of June 7, 2028 for proceeds of US$30 million to LGES. The notes have a conversion price of AUD$1.60 per ordinary share. The convertible notes will mandatorily convert into ordinary shares upon acceptance of the first purchase order under the purchase agreement with LGES, although LGES may elect to convert some or all the notes prior to such time. No interest would be payable on the notes in these circumstances.
The convertible notes may be redeemed or converted (at the election of LGES) on the maturity date, in which case interest is payable in cash (in respect of a redemption) or "in-kind" (in the case of conversion). The convertible notes are presented in the consolidated balance sheet as follows:
* Interest expense is calculated by applying the effective interest rate of 6.56% to the liability component. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 Note 8 Unsecured convertible loan notes and derivative financial instruments (continued)
The fair value of the conversion option (derivative financial liability) was determined using Monte Carlo Simulation methodology. The derivative financial liability is carried at fair value at each reporting date, with gains or losses being recognised in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The remainder of the proceeds were allocated to borrowings with the liability recognised at amortised cost until extinguished on conversion or maturity of the notes. Interest is applied using the effective interest rate.
Fair Value Hierarchy The derivative financial liability is classified as a Level 3 fair value in the fair value hierarchy as one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data.
The valuation model is sensitive to the probability weights applied to the timing of the placement of the purchase order, which is an unobservable input. In the event the purchase order is placed before the maturity date of the notes, the interest rate would become zero-coupon, and the fair value of the derivative would decrease to nil.
The valuation model is also sensitive to the assumed strike price at the time of the conversion, which is a significant unobservable input. The model assumes a strike price at the time of the conversion of AUD $1.60. If the notes convert prior to maturity and the market share price falls below the contracted share price, the model will assume a premium in the issuance of the notes that will result in the derivative liability becoming a derivative asset. Management of the Group believe that a strike price of AUD $1.60 remains appropriate for the purposes of the current valuation after consideration of the historical share price of the Company and future plans for the business.
The changes in the assumed strike price in the model are non-linear and a change of AUD $0.10 would result in a derivative asset of USD$1,114,507, where a change of AUD$0.80 would result in a derivative asset of USD $11,569,172. This compares to the derivative liability of USD$426,553 that has been calculated based on a strike price of AUD $1.60. |

During the 2021 financial year, the Group received grant funds of USD$3,000,000 from the Department of Economic and Community Development in the State of Tennessee, USA. The grant funds are conditional upon the Group creating, filling and maintaining 290 jobs in the State of Tennessee.
The grant becomes fully earned if 90% of the performance target is achieved by March 2026, and is repayable in full if a minimum of 50% of the performance target is not achieved by March 2026. The grant is proportionately repayable between 50% and 90% of the performance target being achieved.
Accordingly, as of June 30, 2024, the full amount of the grant has been deferred and classed as a contract liability and will either be released to income (in full or proportionately) or repayable (in full or proportionately) depending on the performance target achieved by March 2026. Because the Company cannot reliably measure compliance of the conditions attached to the grant with reasonable assurance, income has not been recognized during the six-months ended June 30, 2024. |

Basis of Preparation (Policies) |
6 Months Ended |
|---|---|
Jun. 30, 2024 | |
| Basis of Preparation [Abstract] | |
| Basis of Preparation | This condensed consolidated interim financial report for the half-year reporting period ended June 30, 2024 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 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 period ended December 31, 2023 and any public announcements made by the Group 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)
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of NOVONIX Limited (“Company” or “Parent Entity”) and the results of all subsidiaries during the half year ended June 30, 2024. NOVONIX Limited and its subsidiaries together are referred to in these financial statements as the “Group.” |
| Going Concern | b) 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. The Group incurred a net loss of $28,710,957 (June 30, 2023: $28,098,747) and net operating cash outflows of $22,162,213 (June 30, 2023: $21,142,024) for the half-year ended June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, the Group has a cash balance of $47,132,913 (December 31, 2023: $78,713,885) and net current assets of $48,475,798 (December 31, 2023: $81,312,913). The net loss and cash outflows incurred during the period principally relate to the Group continuing to execute on its expansion plans of reaching production capacity of at least 150,000 tonnes per year aligned with expected future customer demand. The funding of these expansionary activities, which will primarily involve significant capital expenditure, additional funding beyond the existing cash balance as of June 30, 2024, and forecast inflows from customers, will be required in the twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. These conditions give rise to a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt (or substantial doubt as contemplated by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) standards) over the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern, it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business, and at amounts stated in the financial report. NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 Note 1 Basis of preparation (continued) The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is principally dependent upon one or more of the following: · continuing to be able to draw down on the USD$100 million grant from the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains (MESC). During the first quarter, the Company began submitting reimbursement requests to the DOE Office of MESC for investments made at its Riverside facility in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and the Group has now received US$1.1 million in reimbursements in the six months ended June 30, 2024; · the ability of the Group to raise funds as and when necessary, from either customers, governments and/or investors in the form of debt or equity; · the successful and profitable growth of the battery materials, battery consulting and battery technology businesses; and · the ability of the Group to meet its cash flow forecasts.
The directors believe that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate as the Group has a strong history of being able to raise capital from debt and equity sources, most recently through the issue of US$30 million of unsecured convertible loan notes to LG Energy Solution (LGES) in June 2023 (note 8). The Group is continuing to actively engage with strategic partners, customers and investors to source additional funding to support the Group’s growth and fund the planned expansionary activities. In addition, the Group was selected to receive a US$103 million section 48C Investment Tax Credit during the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, in connection to the Group’s Riverside project. The benefits associated with this tax credit are currently expected to be realized by the Group in 2027. The Group has also had a formal loan application submitted and is in the process of negotiating the terms of the loan with the DOE LPO. The Group expects to be able to utilize the loan to fund certain of the eligible project costs associated with the development of a new greenfield production facility in the southeastern United States. This financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts or classification of liabilities and appropriate disclosures that may be necessary should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern. |
| Historical cost convention | 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, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments. |
| New and amended standards adopted by the Group | c) New and amended standards adopted by the Group There were no new, revised or amended standards adopted by the Group issued by the International Accounting Standards Board that are mandatory for the current reporting period. |
| New accounting standards and interpretations not yet adopted by the Group | d) New accounting standards and interpretations not yet adopted by the Group There were no new, revised or amended accounting standards or interpretations not yet adopted by the Group for the current reporting period that are expected to materially impact the Group. |
| Critical accounting estimates | e) 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 Annual Report for the period ended December 31, 2023. Except as noted in Note 6, no changes in critical accounting estimates were made during the six-month period ended June 30, 2024. |

| Conditions on government assistance | The grant funds are conditional upon the Group creating, filling and maintaining 290 jobs in the State of Tennessee. The grant becomes fully earned if 90% of the performance target is achieved by March 2026, and is repayable in full if a minimum of 50% of the performance target is not achieved by March 2026. The grant is proportionately repayable between 50% and 90% of the performance target being achieved. Accordingly, as of June 30, 2024, the full amount of the grant has been deferred and classed as a contract liability and will either be released to income (in full or proportionately) or repayable (in full or proportionately) depending on the performance target achieved by March 2026. Because the Company cannot reliably measure compliance of the conditions attached to the grant with reasonable assurance, income has not been recognized during the six-months ended June 30, 2024. |
