Rhea-AI Filing Summary
NOVONIX Limited reported a key operational milestone, delivering a mass production qualification “C-sample” of synthetic graphite anode active material to its lead customer, Panasonic Energy. The company says internal testing shows the material meets Panasonic’s required specifications, while formal validation will depend on Panasonic’s assessment in the coming months.
The delivery is described as the first known Synthetic Graphite AAM C-sample produced in North America and is framed as an important step toward a secure U.S. battery materials supply chain. NOVONIX also reaffirmed its expectation that mass production for Panasonic will begin in the second half of 2027, subject to successful completion of qualification by Panasonic and its customers.

Insights
Novonix advances Panasonic qualification, keeping 2027 mass production target in view.
NOVONIX has moved into the late stages of customer qualification by delivering a mass production “C-sample” of synthetic graphite anode material to Panasonic Energy. C-samples are typically used for final validation before large-scale commercial orders.
The company states its material meets Panasonic’s specifications based on internal testing, but Panasonic’s own assessment will determine whether it passes formal qualification. The milestone is notable because it is described as the first known North American-produced C-sample, aligning with policy interest in localized battery supply chains.
NOVONIX reiterates an expectation that mass production for Panasonic will start in the second half of 2027, contingent on successful qualification by Panasonic and its customers. This keeps the existing commercialization timeline intact, though actual outcomes will depend on technical validation, furnace scaling, and broader market and regulatory factors discussed in its SEC filings.

NOVONIX Delivers Mass Production AAM Sample to Panasonic
Chattanooga, TN (USA), 11 June 2026 - NOVONIX Limited (NASDAQ: NVX, ASX: NVX) (“NOVONIX” or the “Company”), a leading battery materials company, today announced the delivery of a mass production qualification sample (“C-sample”) of synthetic graphite anode active material (“Synthetic Graphite AAM”) to its lead customer, Panasonic Energy (“Panasonic”).
This milestone marks the first known delivery of a Synthetic Graphite AAM C-sample produced in North America, representing a critical step towards establishing a U.S. supply chain in an industry currently dominated by China. The Company’s testing shows the material meets all Panasonic’s required specifications, though formal validation remains subject to Panasonic’s assessment over the coming months.
Qualification of anode active materials is a rigorous process, and timelines can vary depending on customer-specific material requirements and qualification protocols. The Company’s delivery of a C-sample represents the achievement of a significant step in the final stages of the qualification process with Panasonic and underscores NOVONIX’s advancement toward full-scale commercial production.
“The delivery of a mass production C-sample to Panasonic is an important moment for NOVONIX and for the development of a secure North American battery materials supply chain,” said Mike O’Kronley, CEO of NOVONIX. “This Milestone was achieved as a result of our dedicated team working closely with Panasonic to develop a new source of this critical mineral. We are now one step closer to realizing a fully domestic supply chain in the U.S.”
By achieving this milestone, the Company reaffirms earlier guidance that it expects commencement of mass production for Panasonic to begin in the second half of 2027, subject to successful completion of the qualification process by Panasonic and its customers.
This announcement has been authorised for release by Ron Edmonds, Chairman.
