IperionX Limited
NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2025 AND 2024
1.    STATEMENT OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
IperionX is a for-profit company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Our ordinary shares are listed on the Australian Securities Exchange, or ASX, under the symbol “IPX”, and our American Depository Shares, or ADSs, each representing ten (10) of our ordinary shares, are listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, or Nasdaq, under the symbol “IPX”.
The principal activities of the Group during the period consisted of the development of its titanium metal technologies and the development of its mineral properties in the United States.
The Group is operating a U.S. based, integrated titanium business to support a range of advanced industries, including consumer electronics, aerospace, defense, medical, bicycles, additive manufacturing, and automotive. We expect to offer a range of titanium products and alloys for customers across these key industries.
Our portfolio of assets includes our operations at the Titanium Manufacturing Campus in Halifax County, Virginia; our Titan Project in Tennessee, which is in the exploration stage; and IPF R&D center in Salt Lake City, Utah, that together are re-shoring a sustainable titanium supply chain in the U.S.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of IperionX and its subsidiaries (the “consolidated Entity” or the “Group”) for the six months ended December 31, 2025 (the “Interim Financial Statements”) were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on March 12, 2026.
(a)    Basis of preparation
The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (“IASB”). The preparation of the Interim Financial Statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses on a year-to-date basis. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
The Interim Financial Statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements and are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations and cash flows expected for the year ended June 30, 2026. Accordingly, the Interim Financial Statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended June 30, 2025. In the opinion of management, the accompanying Interim Financial Statements reflect all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial results of such period. The financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis and is presented in United States dollars (US$ or $).
The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted in the preparation of the Interim Financial Statements are consistent with those adopted and disclosed in the annual consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended June 30, 2025, except as disclosed below. These accounting policies are consistent with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB.
Going concern
The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.
The Group had net outflows from operating and investing activities of US$(33.1) million for the six months ended December 31, 2025 (2024: US$(22.7) million). At December 31, 2025, the Group has cash and cash equivalents of US$65.8 million (June 30, 2025: US$54.8 million).
6


On October 10, 2025, the Company completed the placement of 14 million new fully paid ordinary shares at A$5.00 per share, to raise gross proceeds of A$70 million (approximately US$46.0 million) before costs.
The Company's current financial projections, support the Company's ability to meet its obligations as they become due for at least one year from the issuance of these financial statements. No adjustments are required to the carrying amounts or classification of assets and liabilities in the financial statements.
(b)    New standards, interpretations and amendments
In the current period, the Group has adopted all of the new and revised Accounting Standards and Interpretations effective from July 1, 2025 that are mandatory.
The adoption of the aforementioned standards has had no impact on the financial statements of the Company as at December 31, 2025. The Group has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.
(c) Accounting for Government Funding Arrangements
The U.S. government has invested significant resources to re-shore to the U.S. a secure domestic titanium supply chain. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has received awards under the U.S. DPA and Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment (“IBAS”) funding programs in the amount of US$59.8 million, of which US$55.2 million has been obligated as of December 31, 2025 under contracts as described below. These contracts are accounted for under IAS 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance.
Funding under DPA US12.7 million
In October 2023, IperionX executed a US$12.7 million contract in funding under the United States Department of War (“U.S. DoW”) DPA Title III authorities to address the U.S. titanium supply chain vulnerabilities. The government share will be matched with US$13.4 million in funding from IperionX, for a total funding amount of US$26.1 million. This funding is being applied towards the Group’s Titanium Production Facility in Virginia. The agreement has an initial term of 39 months, scheduled to terminate on January 30, 2027, and provides that it may be extended by mutual agreement. Under the agreement, the Company and the U.S. government have agreed to use best efforts to achieve the goals of the agreement, which include the Company conducting a research and development program with respect to titanium technology.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company has procured assets on behalf of the government that cost approximately US$12.7 million, (June 30, 2025: US$10.3 million). These costs will be fully reimbursed pursuant to the terms of the agreement. As of December 31, 2025, the Company has received cash reimbursements totaling US$10.3 million from the U.S. DoW. The remaining amount due of US$2.4 million has been recorded as a receivable, of which US$1.1 million is classified as current and US$1.3 million as other non-current contract assets. The non-current portion represents retainage that is payable upon completion of the contract in accordance with the terms of the agreement. The Company anticipates fulfilling all remaining obligations under the agreement by the end of fiscal year 2027.
Funding under IBAS US$47.1 million
In February 2025, the Company was awarded up to US$47.1 million by the U.S. DoW to strengthen the U.S. Defense Industrial Base by accelerating the scale-up of a resilient, low-cost, and fully-integrated U.S. mineral-to-metal titanium supply chain. The grant will be matched with US$49.2 million in funding by IperionX, for a total funding amount of US$96.3 million. This funding aims to bolster the U.S. defense Industrial base by developing a fully integrated, low-cost titanium supply chain sourced domestically. The project scope under the IBAS program had been revised to prioritize accelerated expansion of IperionX’s titanium metal and manufacturing production capacity at IperionX’s Virginia Titanium Manufacturing Campus.
As part of the initial phase, the DoW has obligated US$5.0 million to expedite the Titan Critical Minerals Project in Tennessee to ‘shovel-ready’ status, an important milestone in securing a new domestic source of titanium, rare earths and zircon critical minerals. The DoW obligated an additional US$12.5 million in August of 2025, and another US$25.0 million in September of 2025, through the IBAS program to purchase orders for long-lead, major capital equipment
7


required for the next stage of capacity scale-up to over 1,400 metric tons per year at the Virginia Titanium Manufacturing Campus. Total obligations now stand at US$42.5 million as of December 31, 2025 with the remaining US$4.6 million obligated in January of 2026. Government reimbursements provided as grants are subject to conditional funding provisions. Grants for the initial phase are recognized as “Other income and expenses” in the consolidated statements of profit and loss and other comprehensive income, once all conditions for reimbursement are met.
2.    SEGMENT INFORMATION
IFRS 8 requires operating segments to be identified on the basis of internal reports about components of the Consolidated Entity that are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker in order to allocate resources to the segment and to assess its performance. The Consolidated Entity operates in one segment, being exploration and evaluation of mineral properties in the U.S. and research and development of associated metals technologies to support an integrated titanium processing operation.
3.    DIVIDENDS PAID OR PROVIDED FOR ON ORDINARY SHARES
No dividends have been paid or proposed for the six months ended December 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024: nil).

6.    INVENTORY
The Company values its inventories at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. Inventory consumed prior to commercialization was expensed as research and development expense as incurred. The Company determines the cost of its inventories on a first-in, first-out basis. The Company performs an assessment of the recoverability of capitalized inventory during each reporting period, and it writes down any excess and obsolete inventories to their estimated net realizable value in the period in which the impairment is first identified. Such impairment charges, if they occur, are recorded within cost of product sales.

15.    CONTINGENT ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Titan Project
The Titan Project is prospective for critical mineral sands including titanium minerals, rare earth minerals, high grade silica sand and zircon minerals. At December 31, 2025, the Group had entered into exclusive option agreements with local landowners in Tennessee, in relation to its Titan Project, which upon exercise, allows the Group to lease or, in some cases purchase, the acres of surface property and the associated mineral rights from the local landowners. As of December 31, 2025, the Titan Project comprised approximately 10,086 acres of surface and associated mineral rights in Tennessee, of which approximately 1,486 acres are owned by IperionX, approximately 674 acres are subject to long-term lease by IperionX, and approximately 7,926 acres are subject to exclusive option agreements with IperionX. During the option period, our option agreements provide us with exclusive right to access, enter, occupy and use the surface property for all purposes related to exploring for and evaluating all minerals in return for making annual option payments and bonus payments during periods when we conduct drilling. Upon exercise, in the case of an option to lease, the Company will pay a production royalty to the landowners, subject to a minimum royalty. Upon exercise, in the case of a purchase, the Company will pay cash consideration approximating the fair market value of the property, excluding the value of any minerals, plus a premium.
On August 26, 2025, the Company announced that the U.S. DoW had obligated US$12.5 million under IperionX’s previously announced US$47.1 million award to strengthen the U.S. Defense Industrial Base by accelerating the scale-up of a resilient, low-cost, and fully-integrated U.S. mineral-to-metal titanium supply chain. The US$12.5 million was applied to purchase orders for long-lead, major capital equipment required for the next stage of capacity scale-up to over 1,400 metric tons per year at the Virginia Titanium Manufacturing Campus.
On September 26, 2025, the Company announced that the DoW obligated an additional US$25.0 million under IperionX’s previously announced US$47.1 million award bringing the total obligated award to US$42.5 million, with the remaining US$4.6 million to be obligated through the end of the contract term.
16.    EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO BALANCE DATE
On January 16, 2026, the company announced that the U.S. DoW through its IBAS program, has obligated the final US$4.6 million under IperionX’s previously awarded US$47.1 million million award.
Additionally, the U.S. Government has transferred ~290 metric tons (320 short tons) of high-quality titanium alloy (Ti64) scrap metal to IperionX for no cost, which is material that is surplus to the U.S. Government needs. The scrap metal is equivalent to approximately 1.5 years’ worth of IperionX’s titanium feedstocks at the existing full operating capacity of 200 metric tons per year.
On January 22, 2026, the company announced that it has received a US$0.3 million prototype purchase order from American Rheinmetall for the production of 700 lightweight titanium components for U.S. Army heavy ground combat systems. This initial purchase order has the potential to lead to a significantly larger agreement upon successful delivery of this initial scope of work.
Other than the above, as at the date of this report there are no other matters or circumstances which have arisen since December 31, 2025 that have significantly affected or may significantly affect:
the operations, in financial years subsequent to December 31, 2025, of the Group;
the results of those operations, in financial years subsequent to December 31, 2025, of the Group; or
the state of affairs, in financial years subsequent to December 31, 2025, of the Group.
