NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Nouveau Monde Graphite Inc. (the “Company”, or “parent company”) was established on December 31, 2012, under the Canada Business Corporations Act. The Company specializes in exploration, evaluation and development of mineral properties located in Québec and is developing carbon-neutral advanced graphite materials.

The Company’s shares are listed under the symbol NOU on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) and NMG on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). The Company’s registered office is located at 481 Brassard Street, Saint-Michel-des-Saints, Québec, Canada, J0K 3B0.

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared using International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) (“IFRS Accounting Standards”) applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business as they come due for the foreseeable future.

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, the Company reported a net loss after tax of $4.5 million and cash outflows from operating activities of $12.4 million and had an accumulated deficit of $403.5 million as of March 31, 2026. The Company has yet to generate positive cash flows or earnings.

Based on all available information about the future, which includes at least, but not limited to, the next twelve months, management believes that without the additional funding secured subsequent to the end of the period as disclosed in note 18, the Company does not have sufficient liquidity to pursue its planned development activities. This funding is contingent on receiving shareholder approval and regulatory approval and there can be no assurances that these will both be successful.

These circumstances indicate the existence of material uncertainties that cast substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern and accordingly, the appropriateness of the use of accounting principles applicable to a going concern.

These consolidated financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities, expenses and financial position classifications that would be necessary if the going concern assumption was not appropriate. These adjustments could be significant.

The Company’s condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) (“IFRS Accounting Standards”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, and also using the same accounting policies and procedures as those used for the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2025. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all the disclosures and notes required for annual consolidated financial statements and should therefore be read with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2025, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 (including comparative statements) were approved and authorized for publication by the Board of Directors on May 12, 2026.

Basis of consolidation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements consolidate those of the parent company and its subsidiaries. The parent company controls a subsidiary if it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the subsidiary, and could affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary.

All transactions and balances between group companies are eliminated upon consolidation, accounting policies of subsidiaries are consistent with the policies adopted by the Company.

Subsidiaries

On June 20, 2025, NMG Bécancour Inc. and NMG Matawinie Inc. were incorporated.

Information on the Company’s subsidiaries as at March 31, 2026, all of which are wholly-owned, are as follows:

​

In May 2024, the IASB published Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7). The amendments to IFRS 9 clarify de-recognition and classification of specific financial assets and liabilities respectively while the amendments to IFRS 7 clarify the disclosure requirements for investments in equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income and contractual terms that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows on the occurrence or non-occurrence of a contingent event. The amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 are effective for annual reporting beginning on or after January 1, 2026. The adoption of these amendments did not have a material impact on the Company's condensed interim consolidated financial statements. 

​

In preparing its consolidated financial statements, management makes several judgements, estimates and assumptions about the recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, and expenses.

Information about the significant estimates and assumptions that have the greatest impact on the recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, and expenses can be found in the note 5 of the 2025 consolidated audited annual financial statement. Actual results may differ significantly.

The amount of borrowing costs included in Mine under construction for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 is $382 ($561 for the three month period ended March 31, 2025). The rate used to determine the amount of borrowing costs to be capitalized is the weighted average interest rate applicable to the entity’s general borrowings during the three-month period ended March 31, 2026.

The Company granted a hypothec to Pallinghurst Graphite International Limited on the Matawinie Mining Property, including the related mining claims, to secure the Company’s obligations under the remaining 2% NSR agreement.

​

​

On November 8, 2022, the Company completed a private placement of unsecured convertible notes (the “Notes”) for aggregate gross proceeds of $67.2 million (US$50 million) with Mitsui & Co., Ltd (“Mitsui”), Pallinghurst Bond Limited (“Pallinghurst”) and Investissement Québec (“IQ”). The Notes are denominated in U.S. Dollars with a term of 36 months and carry a quarterly coupon interest payment of the greater of the 3-month CME Term SOFR plus 4% and 6%.

Subsequently and effective January 1, 2023, the Notes contracts were amended by:

The Notes include the following material conversion and settlement options available to the holders and the Company:

On May 2, 2024, the Company closed a private placement with Mitsui and Pallinghurst for the surrender and cancellation of their convertible notes dated November 8, 2022, as amended and restated effective January 1, 2023. The Company issued 12,500,000 Common Shares and 12,500,000 Warrants to Mitsui and 6,250,000 Common Shares and 6,250,000 Warrants to Pallinghurst in exchange for their convertible notes totalling US$37.5 million. Concurrently with the redemption, surrender and cancellation of Mitsui’s and Pallinghurst’s convertible notes, the Company issued 1,579,043 Common Shares that had been reserved for issuance in connection with the interest calculated between November 8, 2022, and February 14, 2024, date on which the subscription agreement was concluded.

Convertible Notes – Amendment dated October 27, 2025:

On October 27, 2025, the Company reached an agreement with Investissement Québec to extend the maturity date of their Convertible Note from November 8, 2025 to November 8, 2026. In consideration for the extension, the terms of the Notes were amended as follows:

Because the amendment occurred shortly before the original maturity date of November 8, 2025 and represented a renegotiation of the terms, the transaction was accounted for as an extinguishment of the original liability and the issuance of a new financial liability in accordance with IFRS 9. No additional costs were incurred in connection with the amendment.

​

For the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, the interest coupon totalled an aggregate amount of $456 (US$333) ($416 (US$290) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025). For the first quarter of 2026, the Company elected to pay the interest coupon with 147,824 common shares at a price of US$2.25 which will be issued at maturity or at conversion of IQ’s Note. The common shares to be issued are recorded as other reserves in the consolidated statements of changes in equity.

Below is a sensitivity analysis on inputs impacting the fair value revaluation of the derivative.

Private placement with GM and Panasonic:

On February 28, 2024, the Company completed a private placement with General Motors holdings LLC (“GM”) and Panasonic Holdings Corporation (“Panasonic”). Each party subscribed for 12,500,000 Common Shares and 12,500,000 Warrants. The 25,000,000 Common Shares and Warrants were issued for aggregate gross proceeds of $67.9 million (US$50 million).

The Warrants are exercisable in connection with the Tranche 2 Investment at the final investment decision (“FID”) or at the latest on February 28, 2029. Each Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one Common Share (a “Warrant Share”) at a price equal to US$2.38 per Warrant Share.

The transaction represents a compound financial instrument that is accounted for based on the residual method under IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation. The liability component which represents the warrants was evaluated based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model and totalled $25.8M (US$19M). The residual balance of $42.1M (US$31M) was then allocated to the equity component (common shares issued). The transaction costs of $2.6M were allocated proportionally between the financial liability and the equity component. Transaction costs allocated to the equity component were accounted for as a deduction from equity. Transaction costs allocated to the warrants were recorded directly in the consolidated statement of loss and comprehensive loss.

In October 2025, GM provided the Company with a termination notice indicating that, effective November 30, 2025, it was terminating both the Subscription Agreement and the Supply Agreement. The termination resulted in the derecognition of GM’s derivative warrant liability and a gain of $16,151 (US$11,554) recognized in the consolidated statement of loss related to the settlement of the derivative warrant liability.

​

Significant Inputs and Assumptions used in the Valuation:

​

All of the derivative warrant liabilities are exercisable in connection with the Tranche 2 Investment at the final investment decision (“FID”). The fair value of the derivative warrant liability was determined based on the estimated timing of exercise for each warrant. As at March 31, 2026, all warrants are expected to be exercised upon the Active Anode Material (“AAM”) FID. This represents a change in management’s estimate compared to December 31, 2025, at which time certain warrants were expected to be exercised upon the Matawinie Mine FID.

The following assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of the derivative warrant liability:

​

​

The main non-observable input used in the model is the expected volatility. An increase or decrease in the expected volatility used in the model of 10% would have resulted in the following change in the fair value of the warrants:
