Battery Recycling Vertical
Livium's subsidiary, Envirostream Australia Pty Ltd (Envirostream), is Australia’s market-leading lithium-ion battery (LIB)
recycler. Envirostream is seeking to build its services into processing black mass, and recycling of solar panels and rare-
earth elements to meet its customers' needs.
Operating and Financial Summary
During the quarter, Envirostream achieved revenue of A$1.73m (pcp7
: A$1.35m), generating gross profit of A$0.91m (pcp:
A$0.69m), representing a gross margin of 53% (pcp: 51%). Total battery collections were 304 tonnes (pcp: 195 tonnes),
of which 150 tonnes related to lithium-ion batteries (pcp: 183 tonnes). Refer to Table 1 for further information.

Customer growth
Pleasingly, LIB collections increased on the prior two quarters, reflecting continued growth in Livium’s customer base and
underlying demand, with some collection delays noted in Q2 FY26 being secured this quarter. Non-LIB volumes were
high in the quarter due to completion of an NSW EPA mixed battery clean up. This program of work applied disciplined
logistics, transport and processing controls to manage diverse battery chemistries in potentially high risk condition.
Volumes continue to be influenced by project-based decommissioning activity and regulatory approval processes, while
new customers continue to adapt to Australian compliance requirements. These factors can result in variability in the
timing of volumes between periods; however, they are largely timing-related in nature, with volumes expected to be
realised over time as the market continues to mature.
During the quarter, Envirostream continued to expand its customer base, securing multiple new contracts across both
commercial and municipal sectors. New customers included CATL, the world’s leading lithium-ion battery manufacturer,
AWR Group, an Australian solar and energy storage services company, Paul Wakeling Motor Group, a leading NSW
automotive dealership group, alongside Pyrenees Shire Council and Sunshine Coast Council. These additions further
diversify Envirostream’s revenue streams and reinforce its position as a trusted partner to both industry and local
government.
Envirostream is also nearing completion of a strategic project for Synergy, Western Australia’s largest electricity generator
and retailer, delivering end-of-life management for the Alkimos Community Battery. This project demonstrates
Envirostream’s capability to support large-scale energy storage assets and underpins its expansion into the Western
Australian market.

Poised for Scaled Growth through Centralised Hub
During the quarter, Livium executed a five-year lease for a centralised recycling facility (‘Hub’), in Derrimut, Victoria,
marking the transition from planning into execution of its operating model. The facility enables Livium to scale processing
in line with anticipated increases in end-of-life battery volumes. Envirostream’s current processing capacity at
Campbellfield is approximately 2,400tpa. The expanded footprint at Derrimut allows capacity to increase to an estimated
10,660tpa through the installation of larger-format processing equipment and extension of operating hours to 24/7.
Relocation of Envirostream’s Laverton North operations was completed in March 2026, and relocation of the Company’s
head office is expected to occur in Q4 FY26, with Campbellfield processing operations to be relocated at a later date
(subject to approvals).
The Hub is designed to support both immediate capacity increases through extended operating hours and longer-term
expansion through the installation of additional processing equipment. It also provides a platform for the potential
integration of adjacent recycling capabilities over time, consistent with Livium’s broader strategy.
In parallel, Livium continues to progress its “Hub and Spoke” model, with regional spokes supporting collection, sorting,
discharge and safe storage of batteries prior to transport to the Hub for processing into black mass. Western Australia
remains a priority region, supported by the previously awarded A$850,000 grant, and is expected to play a key role in
expanding Livium’s national collection and processing network.
Corporate Development
Livium continues to assess strategic partnerships and M&A opportunities to support the measured expansion of its
battery recycling operations.
Other Recycling Verticals
Successful Next-Stage Scaling of REE Technology with UoM
Livium continued to advance its Rare Earth Elements (REE) extraction program with the University of Melbourne (UoM),
delivering further improvements in process efficiency and scalability.
Final Stage 1 testwork maintained recovery rates of over 90% for both Neodymium (Nd) and Praseodymium (Pr) while
successfully reducing operating temperatures from 210°C to 180°C, resulting in approximately 15% energy savings. In
addition, the process demonstrated improved selectivity, with reduced iron (Fe) leaching, supporting more efficient
downstream purification. These outcomes reinforce the technical progress of the program and represent a further step
toward commercialisation ahead of final Stage 1 results.
Advancement of Solar Panel Recycling Strategy
During the quarter, Livium continued to advance its photovoltaic (PV) recycling strategy through its partnerships with
Iondrive and Won Kwang S&T.
Iondrive reported initial testwork results demonstrating greater than 85% silver recovery using its Deep Eutectic Solvent
(DES) processing technology, representing an important early validation step in the recovery of high-value materials from
end-of-life solar panels. This follows Livium’s supply of representative feedstocks, including crushed solar cells and black
mass, to support testing.
Additionally, Livium progressed its collaboration with Won Kwang S&T, with collected PV panels shipped to South Korea
to support validation of its dismantling and recovery technology. These activities support the development of an
integrated, commercially viable PV recycling pathway, with further optimisation and techno-economic assessment to
follow.

Non‑Recycling Verticals
LieNA® Joint Venture – Technology Optionality
Livium’s 50:50 LieNA® Joint Venture with Mineral Resources Limited continues to progress in line with its
commercialisation pathway, remaining funded through FY27 and preserving longer-term optionality for partnerships and
potential monetisation. During the period, a further distribution was approved, with Livium receiving A$335k, reflecting
ongoing progress across the program.
VSPC – Lithium Ferro Phosphate (LFP) Cathode Powder Demonstration Plant
Livium’s preferred funding pathway seeks to eliminate reliance on Livium shareholder contributions, whilst maximising
value creation for stakeholders.
During the quarter, Livium pursued VSPC funding on a phased approach designed to match the requirements of the
ARENA grant of up to A$30m — this phased funding process contemplates the managed sell down of Livium’s equity in
VSPC. Feedback from prospective lead investors engaged during the quarter included the need for industry leadership.
Subsequent to the quarter, the phased funding process was paused to allow finalisation of engagement with potential
strategic partners, who have tested VSPC product and are actively considering investment.
If strategic funding is not confirmed by 30 June 2026, the Company will undertake necessary actions to preserve or
realise value while minimising future VSPC spend.
Corporate and Financial Update
As at 31 March 2026, Livium held cash of approximately A$4.2 million.
