  • Multiple distribution agreements signed, unlocking rapidly growing commercial markets in North America, India, UAE, and South Asia.

Financial performance

First Graphene reported a combined income for the third quarter of FY2026 of circa A$130,000 (unaudited), comprised of ~A$92,000 in graphene sales and ~A$38,000 in development and grant-funded programs.

Graphene sales revenue was primarily generated from the composite and polymer segments.

Headlining this quarter’s corporate activity was the acquisition of two Australian companies, Ionic Industries Inc (“Ionic”) and Imagine Intelligent Materials (“Imagine”).

The acquisition encompasses a production plant, associated equipment, and intellectual property developed by Ionic across a range of industries.

This includes advanced graphene enabled solutions for environmental remediation, water treatment, energy storage, sensing technologies and functional coatings, providing First Graphene with a diversified platform of innovative solutions across multiple markets.

The Company’s primary interest is in Ionic’s revenue-generating graphene coatings formulations, which has shown significant improvements to barrier and conductivity properties of geotextiles, reducing leakage of products such as farm and tailings dams.

These applications align with First Graphene’s existing portfolio and targeted end markets, organically extending the Company’s product offering while expediting time-to-market for new solutions.

The acquisition will assist First Graphene in driving its capital-efficient commercial strategy for the geotextiles market, focusing on the Company’s core strengths in graphene enhanced coatings formulation and production.

Segment updates

Cement and Concrete

First Graphene’s presence as a leading supplier of performance enhancing graphene to the global cement and concrete industry has gained further momentum following exceptional results from a world-first production trial in the UK.

The Company partnered with Breedon Group (LON:BREE) and FP McCann to produce graphene enhanced cement roof tiles for use in the local construction industry.

The five-month project utilised 40 tonnes of graphene enhanced cement produced by Breedon to create approximately 10,000 roof tiles at FP McCann’s manufacturing facility in Cadeby.

The production process achieved a 14% reduction in carbon emissions and reduced the amount of cement required by up to 8%. The trial also confirmed the graphene enhanced cement, classified as CEM-II produced roof tiles of the same strength as CEM-I, but with fewer materials and lower costs.

Some of the tiles will be installed on one of FP McCann’s new buildings on site, while conversations commenced with industry partners to broaden the potential applications of the graphene enhanced roof tiles.

The UK Government has committed to delivering more than one million affordable and sustainable new homes in the next three years, funding innovative construction solutions to achieve this goal.

This project was supported via ‘Contracts for Innovation’ with the UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) and the ‘Resource Efficient Construction Impacts’ program by the UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs’ (DEFRA)

The global cement roof tile market is expected to grow to US$11.8 billion by 2034¹, marking a significant commercial opportunity for First Graphene.

Durability results strengthen cement applications in South Africa

The Company also received additional durability results from a trial of commercial waterproofing additives for cement containing PureGRAPH®, conducted in South Africa with Glade Chemicals Manufacturer CC (“Glade”) and the University of Stellenbosch.

The KR2-Tech Dry product, developed and distributed by Glade, is commercially available to the construction sector in South Africa, with reoccurring monthly orders from clients such as major cast stone manufacturer and developer Revelstone.

Recent results showed an exceptional 33.3% improvement in water absorption compared to standard waterproofing additives, reinforcing the enhanced barrier properties of materials containing graphene.

These results build on previous trials of the additive, which delivered exception water absorption and reduction in oxygen penetration rates, using a simple dispersion method.

Additionally, these improvements reinforce the longevity and sustainability benefits of KR2-Tech Dry, further solidifying the commercial potential for First Graphene in the South African construction materials market.

Energy Generation and Storage

Completion of dual-nation hydrogen project

This quarter also marked the completion of the A$3.72 million HyPStore project, focusing on leveraging graphene products to enhance material benefits of hydrogen storage tanks.

The project investigated development and commercialisation of light-weight impermeable cryogenic tanks for hydrogen storage and transport, utilising graphene for impermeability and strength benefits.

Nine entities from Australia and the United Kingdom collaborated to manufacture a prototype Type V tank (see Figure 2) containing graphene nanoplatelets.

Figure 2: Five common pressure vessel types including the Type-V tank.

The graphene provides a protective barrier within the tank structure, which had previously demonstrated a reduction in hydrogen permeability by up to 48 times.

PureGRAPH® reinforced epoxy systems have demonstrated strong cryogenic performance under liquid-nitrogen testing, achieving ~118% strength retention and ~147% modulus retention over the neat resin, equivalent to an improvement of up to 60%.

The project has now entered its final integration phase, with all partner contributions being consolidated into a single fully composite liquid-hydrogen demonstration storage tank for final validation.

Other activities to note

Aerospace and motorsport research project complete

During the quarter, First Graphene completed the A$1.2 million grant-funded EFFICIENT project in collaboration with University College London and Imperial College London, which investigated the use of graphene to reduce energy consumption and associated costs in metal additive manufacturing.

The project validated chemically modified graphene (CMG) as an enabling additive for copper 3D printing, demonstrating significantly improved laser absorptivity and melt-pool stability, with printed part densities of up to 97% achieved at lower energy density compared to pure copper.

CMG-modified copper also enabled the successful printing of multi-layer structures exceeding ten layers, compared to fewer than three layers using unmodified copper.

These results highlight the ability of engineered graphene additives to address long-standing processing challenges in copper additive manufacturing and support applications in high-value sectors including aerospace and motorsport.

First Graphene's participation in the project also demonstrated the potential to rapidly upscale the supply of chemically modified graphene, supporting future commercial deployment and accelerating the pathway to market.

Commercial expansion into India, UE, and South Asian nations

First Graphene secured multiple new distribution agreements during the quarter, expanding PureGRAPH® supply into some of the world's largest and fastest-growing industrial markets.

The Company signed two agreements with Syron GreenThrust Dynamics, securing access into India, United Arab Emirates, and South Asian nations including Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

The three-year Distribution Agreement and Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") provide an immediate commercial pathway into these nations, covering construction and cement, coatings, energy storage and hydrogen-related tech, and advanced composites.

Under the Distribution Agreement, tonnage supply of PureGRAPH® will increase to 20 tonnes per annum by the third year, which would trigger the option to negotiate a manufacturing solution in India.

The MOU will be focused on potential future commercial development targeting broader industries including industrial, military, mining and energy sectors.
