Runway 5 quarters Appendix 5B item 8.7: cash of US$63.0m divided by quarterly operating outflow of US$12.6m, excluding US$33.7m of reimbursable U.S. Government funding and ignoring investing outflows and the Titan build.

Liquidity

Financial position

US$63.0m cash plus US$33.7m obligated reimbursable government funding gives about US$96.7m of liquidity against a combined operating and investing burn near US$18m a quarter; there is no debt facility. Titan construction (US$381m), further 1,400 tpa spending and GenX scale-up all need new funding, so near-term dilution or project finance is likely.

Inventory composition3

19 t of finished titanium powder and 207 t of scrap feedstock at 30 September 2026; raw materials carried at US$3.9m at 30 June 2026 (annual report note 8).

Contracts and ownership

Material economic arrangements These are deals that can affect sales, costs, funding or ownership. An arrangement marked “Included in valuation” may already be built into a project estimate or the bridge to shareholder value. A separate amount is shown only when one can be estimated; do not add it again.

Complete As Disclosed · as of 2026-10-31

Annual report, September 2026 quarterly and the DFS list the U.S. Government awards, the SBIR contract, the Titan landowner royalty and the scrap transfer; no stream, offtake, tolling, JV, farm-in or hedge is disclosed. Offtake discussions with a Japanese industrial group are non-binding and are not recorded as an arrangement.

Reimbursable U.S. Government awards fund the Virginia 200 tpa build and the +1,200 tpa expansion; reimbursement follows claim review so cash lags spending; asset title vests with the Government during the agreement.
