REVIEW OF OPERATIONS AND ACTIVITIES

 

 

NOVONIX Limited ("the Group") is a leading battery technology company revolutionising the global lithium-ion battery industry with innovative, sustainable technologies, high-performance materials, and more efficient production methods. The Group manufactures industry-leading battery cell testing equipment, is growing its high-performance synthetic graphite anode material manufacturing operations, and has developed an all-dry zero-waste cathode synthesis process. Through advanced R&D capabilities, proprietary technology, and strategic partnerships, NOVONIX has gained a prominent position in the electric vehicle and energy storage systems battery industry and is powering a cleaner energy future.

 

Our vision is to provide revolutionary clean energy solutions to the battery industry. Therefore, we are focused on the development of materials and technologies that support key ESG criteria in the field of battery materials and technologies, including: longer life batteries, higher energy efficiency, reduced chemical usage, reduced waste generation, and cleaner power inputs. This effort is rooted in our fundamental Group values of curiosity, collaboration, and commitment that support social impact and embody NOVONIX’s approach to corporate responsibility.

 

NOVONIX’s Battery Technology Solutions division (“BTS”) focuses on innovative battery research and development, along with providing advanced battery testing equipment and services on a global scale. BTS provides unique visibility across the battery value chain and allows the Group to continue to be an industry leader, delivering materials and technologies to support high-performance and cost-effective battery development. NOVONIX's Anode Materials division (“NAM”) manufactures high-performance synthetic graphite anode materials used to make lithium-ion batteries that power electric vehicles, personal electronics, medical devices, and energy storage units.

 

Half-Year Results

During the half-year ended June 30, 2023, NOVONIX had an after-tax loss of $28.1 million compared to a $31.0 million loss in the same period in 2022. Cash on the consolidated balance sheet was $99.1 million at June 30, 2023, compared to $99.0 million at December 31, 2022. Net assets over the same period declined $24.1 million to $202.0 million as of June 30, 2023. Total revenue increased 23% to $3.9 million compared to the same 2022 period driven by BTS hardware and service sales. All figures are in U.S. Dollars, unless otherwise noted.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, NOVONIX executed against its long-term strategic initiatives, announced key strategic partnerships, progressed operational knowledge through furnace operations and explored additional avenues to create long-term shareholder value.

NOVONIX OUTLOOK

As an industry leader, NOVONIX is at the forefront of onshoring the battery supply chain through its product innovation and intellectual property development in battery materials and technology. The global demand for high-performance battery materials and technology continues to increase significantly as the world grapples with increasing energy supply and demand imbalances, as demonstrated by the growing desire for a domestic localised battery supply chain. NOVONIX is opportunistically positioned to benefit from potential U.S. government funding opportunities offered through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, Defense Production Act, and Department of Energy Loan Programs Office, all of which aim to advance domestic processing of critical materials.

 

The Group has built a team of top talent with the experience to drive innovation company-wide and believes it has the next generation technology needed to support the rapidly growing electric vehicle ("EV") and energy storage systems (“ESS”) markets in North America. NOVONIX is focused on scaling its production capacity of synthetic graphite to meet the growing demands of its customers, through increasing production capabilities at its facility in Chattanooga, Tennessee by investing in future expansions. The Group has already recognised significant technological milestones on its proprietary graphitization process and remains on track to commence commercial production in 2024 to support its supply agreement with KORE Power, Inc. ("KORE Power").

NOVONIX is evaluating several provisions that are aimed at bolstering domestic and regional production of critical materials. These include: (1) a $7,500 federal consumer tax credit, starting in 2023 based on the origin of battery materials and localisation of manufacturing; (2) new "advanced manufacturing" and production tax credits; (3) $500 million appropriation for enhanced use of the Defense Production Act as economic support under the banner of national security; and (4) a $40 billion increase in lending authority under Title XVII of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. The impact of the IRA and other government programs and incentives is unclear. As a result, NOVONIX is currently unable to predict whether other proposed changes will occur, if they will be effective and what the ultimate impact will be on the business.

 

The Group's strong balance sheet provides a multi-year pathway to fund operating expenses and obtain additional capital to scale its operations to meet the material needs of the growing battery sector in North America. Additionally, NOVONIX remains focused on developing improved and sustainable technologies, pursuing strategic partnerships with leading international companies, and enhancing its intellectual property pipeline that will position the Group at the forefront of next-generation battery technology. NOVONIX's technology, products and processes have been well-received and are being tested by current and potential battery sector customers. The Group is in regular dialogue with tier one cell manufacturers and automotive manufacturers to supply their critical materials for their proposed battery factories. To date, NOVONIX has executed a supply agreement with KORE Power to supply graphite anode material for their gigafactory which is under construction in Arizona. In June 2023, NOVONIX entered into a joint development agreement ("JDA") with LG Energy Solution ("LGES"), and also issued $30 million of unsecured convertible loan notes to LGES. The JDA is intended to lead to the option for LGES to purchase up to 50,000 tonnes of the anode material from NOVONIX over a 10-year period from the start of mass production.

Cathode Pilot Line

NOVONIX has increased its investment in the intellectual property developed around all-dry zero-waste cathode synthesis technology, which the Group believes could enable a substantial reduction in the cost of producing high energy density (high nickel-based) cathode materials including cobalt-free materials. The Group announced it successfully completed the commissioning 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"), produced using NOVONIX’s patent-pending, all-dry zero-waste synthesis technology, matches the performance of leading cathode materials from existing suppliers in full-cell testing. NOVONIX will use the pilot line to further demonstrate the manufacturability of the Group’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.

NOVONIX-LGES Joint Development Agreement & $30 Million Investment

NOVONIX and LG Energy Solution, a global battery manufacturer, announced the signing of a joint research and development agreement (JDA) for artificial graphite anode material for lithium-ion batteries. Also, pursuant to a separate agreement, NOVONIX issued an aggregate principal amount of $30 million unsecured convertible loan notes to LGES.

 

Upon successful completion of certain development work under the JDA, LGES and NOVONIX will enter into a separate purchase agreement pursuant to which LGES will have the option to purchase up to 50,000 tonnes of artificial graphite anode material over a 10-year period from the start of mass production. LGES is a leading global battery manufacturer with two stand-alone and five joint venture plants currently operating or being constructed in the U.S. LGES plans to maximise the benefits from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) by expanding local battery production, as well as establish a local supply chain for battery components. In order to solidify its market leadership in North America, LGES further aims to expedite the localisation of manufacturing and assembly of battery components, including electrodes, cells, and modules.

Development Progress

Following the passage of the IRA in August 2022, battery development capacity plans have accelerated with increased domestic production forecasts and robust electric vehicle demand. These recent trends underpin the significance of NOVONIX’s agreement with Phillips 66 in January 2022 for the joint development of new feedstocks and synthetic graphite with reduced carbon-intensive processing. This partnership positions NOVONIX at the forefront of revolutionary solutions that seek to advance the adoption of clean energy. Aligned with its strategic partnership and investment in KORE Power, NOVONIX will be KORE Power’s exclusive supplier of graphite anode material in North America. In June 2023, KORE Power received a conditional commitment of $850 million from the DOE LPO for the construction of its KOREPlex facility in Phoenix, Arizona, which will begin commercial production in the fourth quarter of 2024.

 

NAM currently produces anode materials to support the progression in customer qualification programs at both its anode materials pilot plant and at Riverside which can produce synthetic graphite at mass production quantities of greater than one tonne. This is an integral step in qualifying battery materials for long term supply contracts with potential customers. NOVONIX believes its ability to provide consistent mass-produced samples for qualifications, as evidenced by its contract with KORE Power and recent JDA with LGES, is a unique competitive advantage within the market. The Group continues to work with other tier one battery manufacturers (including Samsung SDI and Panasonic Energy (formerly Sanyo, a subsidiary of Panasonic)) as well as several automotive manufacturers. NOVONIX Anode Materials strives to produce the highest performance synthetic graphite for powering the battery materials industry's growth with lower carbon emissions.

 

In June 2022, NOVONIX released the results of a Life Cycle Assessment (“LCA”), conducted by Minviro Ltd., a London-based, globally recognised sustainability and life cycle assessment consultancy. The LCA showed an approximate 60% decrease in global warming potential compared to commercially manufactured anode grade synthetic graphite produced in China, and an approximate 30% decrease in global warming potential compared to anode grade natural graphite also produced in China.

HALF-YEAR REPORT - JUNE 30, 2023

 

 

NOVONIX is expanding production capacity at its Riverside facility to a target minimum of 10,000 tpa output at full operation. Production will begin at a rate of approximately 3,000 tpa in 2024 and increases will align with KORE Power’s contracted volumes or any additional contracts that may be entered into with other customers. Through operational growth and by executing on strategic partnerships, NOVONIX has developed proprietary technology that delivers increased energy efficiency, negligible facility emissions, and anode materials that outperform industry standards.

 

U.S. Department of Energy Funding Opportunities

The Biden Administration’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) have provided many potential incentives for companies to build out a robust supply chain in the United States. The DOE Loan Programs Office has $15.1 billion in loan authority to support the manufacture of eligible light-duty vehicles and qualifying components under the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing Loan Program (ATVM), authorised by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, providing debt capital at U.S. Treasury rates. These government programs provide a significant potential opportunity to support NOVONIX’s financing needs.

NOVONIX was selected to receive a $150 million grant for a greenfield project to produce an initial 30,000 tpa of capacity with additional installed facility and infrastructure to support expansion and supply the EV battery supply chain. NOVONIX remains in active discussions with the DOE Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains (MESC) regarding the scope and use of this grant funding. In October 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 Group’s current expansion plans for NAM’s growth. In May 2023, NOVONIX was invited by DOE LPO to enter due diligence (Stage 3) and the Group is working with DOE LPO to begin the formal due diligence process. NOVONIX is working with both MESC and LPO to understand how the different sources of financing support can best be used to support the Group's growth plans.

 

NOVONIX-TAQAT Development JV

NOVONIX has agreed to incorporate a JV with TAQAT to develop and produce anode materials for electric vehicle and energy storage system batteries in the MENA region.

 

The JV is intended to utilise NOVONIX’s battery technology and capability to develop a graphite anode materials facility with capacity of 30,000 tonnes per annum. The project is to be located in Saudi Arabia and is expected to secure ready access to precursor material as feedstock for critical battery materials and access to developing end-use markets for the manufacture and sale of EVs and ESS applications. Trends in government support and incentives for electrification and the localisation of the supply chain are prominent in the United States due to the Inflation Reduction Act but are strong in other jurisdictions as well. Saudi Arabia has set ambitious targets around electrification within its Vision 2030 goal and has opportunities to offer strong financial support to key strategic projects that are being built within Saudi Arabia.

 

To address growing industry demand, NAM remains on track to be a leading supplier of synthetic graphite in North America and the MENA region for anode battery materials. Discussions are continuing with tier one OEM EV companies and cell manufacturers to qualify and negotiate off-take agreements from both its Riverside and proposed greenfield anode materials facilities. 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. The NOVONIX Anode Materials

division is well-positioned to capitalise on international collaboration opportunities, having shown industry excellence in material production and a demonstrated track record of scalability.

MOUNT DROMEDARY

The Mount Dromedary Graphite Project is a world-class, high-grade (18%+) natural graphite deposit located in Northern Queensland, Australia.

Despite the favourable characteristics of this natural graphite deposit, exploration was put on hold given the substantially more favourable investment opportunities for the Group through the manufacturing of advanced battery anode materials and the development of new battery technologies. During the year ended June 30, 2022, management initiated a strategic review of the graphite deposit asset, and management continues to assess opportunities and holds the project in good standing while monitoring the market.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2023

Note 1 Basis of preparation

This condensed consolidated interim financial report for the half-year reporting period ended June 30, 2023 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, 2022 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 interim consolidated financial statements of the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as the “Group”, or “Novonix”) consists of Novonix Limited and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the half-year ended June 30, 2023.

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.

The Group incurred a net loss of $28,098,747 (June 30, 2022: $31,047,824) and net operating cash outflows of $21,142,024 (June 30, 2022: $17,765,648) for the half-year ended June 30, 2023. As at June 30, 2023 the Group has a cash balance of $99,075,082 (December 31, 2022: $99,039,172) and net current assets of $102,355,842 (December 31, 2022: $107,683,066).

The Group is continuing to execute on its expansion plans of reaching production capacity of 150,000 tonnes per year by 2030 and in order to fund these expansionary activities, which will primarily involve significant capital expenditure, additional funding beyond the existing cash balance at June 30, 2023, and forecast inflows from customers, will be required.

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.

The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is principally dependent upon one or more of the following:

the ability of the Group to raise funds as and when necessary from either customers, governments and/or investors in the form of debt, equity and/or grant funding;
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.

 

 

NOVONIX Limited

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2023

Note 1 Basis of preparation (continued)

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) during the period (note 9).

In November 2022, the Group was selected to enter negotiations with the US Department of Energy (DOE) to receive up to US$150 million of grant funding. These negotiations are still ongoing. The Group has also had a formal application submitted and was invited into Stage 3 of the DOE Loan Program Office (LPO) with the potential funds to be used to develop a new greenfield production facility.

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.

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.

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, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments.

c)
Classification of expenses

During the period ended June 30, 2023, management reassessed the classification of certain expenses and has reclassed $2,296,138 from Employee Benefits Expense to Product Manufacturing and Operating Costs. The comparative period has been prepared on a like for like basis. An amount of $2,525,462 has been reclassified from Employee Benefits Expense to Product Manufacturing and Operating Costs in the comparative period.

The reclassification of Employee Benefits Expense to Product Manufacturing and Operating Costs has been made as the business has transitioned to a standard costing approach which incorporates labour costs.

d)
Borrowings

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2023

Note 1 Basis of preparation (continued)

 

The fair value of the liability (borrowings) portion of a convertible bond is determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent non-convertible bond. This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion or maturity of the bonds. The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the conversion option. Alternatively, the fair value of the conversion option is determined using Monte Carlo Simulation methodology, with the remainder of the proceeds allocated to the liability (borrowings) portion.

New and amended standards adopted by the Group

The Group has adopted all of the new, revised or amending accounting standards and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board that are mandatory for the current reporting period. None of the new and amended standards have had any material impact on the financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 12 – Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction:

In May 2021, the IASB issued Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction, which amended IAS 12, Income Taxes. The amendments clarify that companies are required to recognise deferred taxes on transactions where both assets and liabilities are recognised, such as with leases and asset retirement (decommissioning) obligations. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, with earlier application permitted. The adoption of the amendment did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

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, 2022. Set out below are any changes during the period.

Valuation of unsecured convertible notes and embedded derivatives

The fair value of the conversion feature is determined using a Monte Carlo Simulation, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the convertible loan notes were issued. The key assumptions include:

The probability of the timing of when the parties will enter into a purchase order for material, which will lead to the mandatory conversion of all loan notes into ordinary shares;
The risk-free rate; and
The volatility of the NOVONIX share price.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2023

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

Note 5 Non-current assets – Investment securities 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:

 

(All in US$)

 

June 30, 2023

US unlisted equity securities

 

16,022,682

 

16,490,271

 

On January 31, 2022 NOVONIX Limited 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 totalled USD$25 million and was settled through a combination of 50% cash and 50% through the issue of 1,974,723 ordinary shares in NOVONIX Limited.

 

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, 2023 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, 2023 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.

 

The following table presents the changes in level 3 instruments during the half-year period ended June 30, 2023:

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2023

 

Note 5 Non-current assets – Investment securities at fair value through profit or loss (continued)

 

There were no transfers between levels 1, 2 or 3 for recurring fair value measurements during the six-month period. 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 in the six months ended June 30, 2023. The Group also considers market observable inputs based on an analysis of share price movements of listed peer companies in the battery technology sector to assess whether there are market trends which should be factored into the fair value of the investment.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2023

 

Note 6 Non-current assets – Exploration and evaluation assets (continued)

 

The Mt Dromedary asset remains a strategic asset for the Group. All tenement rights remain current, exploration activity is continuing to the extent required under the tenement rights, and a resource, principally high grade graphite, has been identified. It therefore remains appropriate for the asset to be recognised as an exploration and evaluation asset under AASB/IFRS 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources. The recoverability of the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is dependent upon the successful development and commercial exploitation or, alternatively, sale of the respective areas of interest.

 

The Directors have assessed that for the exploration and evaluation assets recognised at June 30, 2023, the facts and circumstances do not suggest that the carrying amount of an asset may exceed its recoverable amount.

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.

 

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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 7 Non-current assets – Intangible assets (continued)

 

The recoverable amount of the NOVONIX Anode Materials cash generating unit (“NOVONIX Anode Materials CGU”) has been determined on a ‘Fair Value Less Costs to Sell’ (“FVLCS”) basis.

 

To determine the recoverable amount, the FVLCS was calculated with reference to the issuance of the convertible notes in June 2023 (as outlined in Note 9) given that the convertible loan note issuance is directly associated with the planned future expansion of the NOVONIX Anode Materials CGU. Events occurring between the date of the convertible loan note issuance and June 30, 2023 have also been considered, and the directors do not believe that there have been any material events that would adversely impact the NOVONIX Anode Materials CGU such that the recoverable amount may not exceed the carrying value.

 

The recoverable amount of the NOVONIX Anode Materials CGU is deemed to be in excess of the carrying value of the CGU, and therefore no impairment has been recognised at June 30, 2023.

Note 9 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 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.

Note 10 Contract liabilities (continued)

 

During a prior period, the Group received grant funds of USD$3 million 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 at June 30, 2023, 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

Reporton the half-year financial report

Conclusion

We have reviewed the half-year financial report of Novonix Limited (the Company) and the entities it controlled duringthe half-year (together the Group), which comprises the consolidated balancesheet as at 30 June 2023, 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, materialaccounting policy information 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 30 June 2023 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date
2.
complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim FinancialReporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for conclusion

We conductedour 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 reviewof 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 relatingto going concern

We draw attention to Note 1 in the half-year financial report, which indicates that the Group incurred a net loss of $28,098,747 and net operating cash outflows of $21,142,024 during the half-year ended 30 June 2023, 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 modifiedin respect of this matter.

Responsibilities of the directorsfor 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 whetherdue to fraud or error.

Auditor's responsibilities for the review of the half-year financialreport

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 2023 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 mattersthat might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not expressan audit opinion.

Basis of Preparation [Abstract]  
Basis of preparation 1 Basis of preparation

This condensed consolidated interim financial report for the half-year reporting period ended June 30, 2023 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, 2022 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 interim consolidated financial statements of the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as the “Group”, or “Novonix”) consists of Novonix Limited and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the half-year ended June 30, 2023.

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.

The Group incurred a net loss of $28,098,747 (June 30, 2022: $31,047,824) and net operating cash outflows of $21,142,024 (June 30, 2022: $17,765,648) for the half-year ended June 30, 2023. As at June 30, 2023 the Group has a cash balance of $99,075,082 (December 31, 2022: $99,039,172) and net current assets of $102,355,842 (December 31, 2022: $107,683,066).

The Group is continuing to execute on its expansion plans of reaching production capacity of 150,000 tonnes per year by 2030 and in order to fund these expansionary activities, which will primarily involve significant capital expenditure, additional funding beyond the existing cash balance at June 30, 2023, and forecast inflows from customers, will be required.

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.

The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is principally dependent upon one or more of the following:

the ability of the Group to raise funds as and when necessary from either customers, governments and/or investors in the form of debt, equity and/or grant funding;
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) during the period (note 9).

In November 2022, the Group was selected to enter negotiations with the US Department of Energy (DOE) to receive up to US$150 million of grant funding. These negotiations are still ongoing. The Group has also had a formal application submitted and was invited into Stage 3 of the DOE Loan Program Office (LPO) with the potential funds to be used to develop a new greenfield production facility.

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.

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.

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, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments.

c)
Classification of expenses

During the period ended June 30, 2023, management reassessed the classification of certain expenses and has reclassed $2,296,138 from Employee Benefits Expense to Product Manufacturing and Operating Costs. The comparative period has been prepared on a like for like basis. An amount of $2,525,462 has been reclassified from Employee Benefits Expense to Product Manufacturing and Operating Costs in the comparative period.

The reclassification of Employee Benefits Expense to Product Manufacturing and Operating Costs has been made as the business has transitioned to a standard costing approach which incorporates labour costs.

d)
Borrowings

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2023

Note 1 Basis of preparation (continued)

 

The fair value of the liability (borrowings) portion of a convertible bond is determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent non-convertible bond. This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion or maturity of the bonds. The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the conversion option. Alternatively, the fair value of the conversion option is determined using Monte Carlo Simulation methodology, with the remainder of the proceeds allocated to the liability (borrowings) portion.

The Group has adopted all of the new, revised or amending accounting standards and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board that are mandatory for the current reporting period. None of the new and amended standards have had any material impact on the financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 12 – Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction:

In May 2021, the IASB issued Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction, which amended IAS 12, Income Taxes. The amendments clarify that companies are required to recognise deferred taxes on transactions where both assets and liabilities are recognised, such as with leases and asset retirement (decommissioning) obligations. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, with earlier application permitted. The adoption of the amendment did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

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, 2022. Set out below are any changes during the period.

Valuation of unsecured convertible notes and embedded derivatives

The fair value of the conversion feature is determined using a Monte Carlo Simulation, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the convertible loan notes were issued. The key assumptions include:

The probability of the timing of when the parties will enter into a purchase order for material, which will lead to the mandatory conversion of all loan notes into ordinary shares;
The risk-free rate; and
The volatility of the NOVONIX share price.

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

(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:

 

(All in US$)

 

June 30, 2023

US unlisted equity securities

 

16,022,682

 

16,490,271

 

On January 31, 2022 NOVONIX Limited 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 totalled USD$25 million and was settled through a combination of 50% cash and 50% through the issue of 1,974,723 ordinary shares in NOVONIX Limited.

 

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, 2023 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, 2023 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.

 

The following table presents the changes in level 3 instruments during the half-year period ended June 30, 2023:

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2023

 

Note 5 Non-current assets – Investment securities at fair value through profit or loss (continued)

 

There were no transfers between levels 1, 2 or 3 for recurring fair value measurements during the six-month period. 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 in the six months ended June 30, 2023. The Group also considers market observable inputs based on an analysis of share price movements of listed peer companies in the battery technology sector to assess whether there are market trends which should be factored into the fair value of the investment.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2023

 

Note 6 Non-current assets – Exploration and evaluation assets (continued)

 

The Mt Dromedary asset remains a strategic asset for the Group. All tenement rights remain current, exploration activity is continuing to the extent required under the tenement rights, and a resource, principally high grade graphite, has been identified. It therefore remains appropriate for the asset to be recognised as an exploration and evaluation asset under AASB/IFRS 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources. The recoverability of the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is dependent upon the successful development and commercial exploitation or, alternatively, sale of the respective areas of interest.

 

The Directors have assessed that for the exploration and evaluation assets recognised at June 30, 2023, the facts and circumstances do not suggest that the carrying amount of an asset may exceed its recoverable amount.

Goodwill has an indefinite useful life.

Note 7 Non-current assets – Intangible assets (continued)

 

The recoverable amount of the NOVONIX Anode Materials cash generating unit (“NOVONIX Anode Materials CGU”) has been determined on a ‘Fair Value Less Costs to Sell’ (“FVLCS”) basis.

 

To determine the recoverable amount, the FVLCS was calculated with reference to the issuance of the convertible notes in June 2023 (as outlined in Note 9) given that the convertible loan note issuance is directly associated with the planned future expansion of the NOVONIX Anode Materials CGU. Events occurring between the date of the convertible loan note issuance and June 30, 2023 have also been considered, and the directors do not believe that there have been any material events that would adversely impact the NOVONIX Anode Materials CGU such that the recoverable amount may not exceed the carrying value.

 

The recoverable amount of the NOVONIX Anode Materials CGU is deemed to be in excess of the carrying value of the CGU, and therefore no impairment has been recognised at June 30, 2023.

Note 9 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 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.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2023

 

Note 10 Contract liabilities (continued)

 

During a prior period, the Group received grant funds of USD$3 million 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 at June 30, 2023, 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.

Basis of Preparation [Abstract]  
Basis of Preparation Basis of preparation

This condensed consolidated interim financial report for the half-year reporting period ended June 30, 2023 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, 2022 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 interim consolidated financial statements of the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as the “Group”, or “Novonix”) consists of Novonix Limited and the entities it controlled at the end of, or during, the half-year ended June 30, 2023.

Going Concern
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.

The Group incurred a net loss of $28,098,747 (June 30, 2022: $31,047,824) and net operating cash outflows of $21,142,024 (June 30, 2022: $17,765,648) for the half-year ended June 30, 2023. As at June 30, 2023 the Group has a cash balance of $99,075,082 (December 31, 2022: $99,039,172) and net current assets of $102,355,842 (December 31, 2022: $107,683,066).

The Group is continuing to execute on its expansion plans of reaching production capacity of 150,000 tonnes per year by 2030 and in order to fund these expansionary activities, which will primarily involve significant capital expenditure, additional funding beyond the existing cash balance at June 30, 2023, and forecast inflows from customers, will be required.

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.

The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is principally dependent upon one or more of the following:

the ability of the Group to raise funds as and when necessary from either customers, governments and/or investors in the form of debt, equity and/or grant funding;
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) during the period (note 9).

In November 2022, the Group was selected to enter negotiations with the US Department of Energy (DOE) to receive up to US$150 million of grant funding. These negotiations are still ongoing. The Group has also had a formal application submitted and was invited into Stage 3 of the DOE Loan Program Office (LPO) with the potential funds to be used to develop a new greenfield production facility.

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.

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
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, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and derivative financial instruments.

Classification of expenses
c)
Classification of expenses

During the period ended June 30, 2023, management reassessed the classification of certain expenses and has reclassed $2,296,138 from Employee Benefits Expense to Product Manufacturing and Operating Costs. The comparative period has been prepared on a like for like basis. An amount of $2,525,462 has been reclassified from Employee Benefits Expense to Product Manufacturing and Operating Costs in the comparative period.

The reclassification of Employee Benefits Expense to Product Manufacturing and Operating Costs has been made as the business has transitioned to a standard costing approach which incorporates labour costs.

Borrowings
d)
Borrowings

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2023

Note 1 Basis of preparation (continued)

 

The fair value of the liability (borrowings) portion of a convertible bond is determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent non-convertible bond. This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion or maturity of the bonds. The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the conversion option. Alternatively, the fair value of the conversion option is determined using Monte Carlo Simulation methodology, with the remainder of the proceeds allocated to the liability (borrowings) portion.

New and amended standards adopted by the Company
New and amended standards adopted by the Group

The Group has adopted all of the new, revised or amending accounting standards and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board that are mandatory for the current reporting period. None of the new and amended standards have had any material impact on the financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 12 – Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction:

In May 2021, the IASB issued Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction, which amended IAS 12, Income Taxes. The amendments clarify that companies are required to recognise deferred taxes on transactions where both assets and liabilities are recognised, such as with leases and asset retirement (decommissioning) obligations. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, with earlier application permitted. The adoption of the amendment did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Any new, revised or amending Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

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, 2022. Set out below are any changes during the period.

Valuation of unsecured convertible notes and embedded derivatives

The fair value of the conversion feature is determined using a Monte Carlo Simulation, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the convertible loan notes were issued. The key assumptions include:

The probability of the timing of when the parties will enter into a purchase order for material, which will lead to the mandatory conversion of all loan notes into ordinary shares;
The risk-free rate; and
The volatility of the NOVONIX share price.
