To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements which are presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), adjusted segment EBITDA is used as an additional financial measure throughout this interim report. The financial measure is presented because it is used by management to evaluate operating performance. The Company believes that non-IFRS measure may provide useful information to help investors and others understand and evaluate the Company’s consolidated results of operations in the same manner as management and in comparing financial results across accounting periods and to those of our peer companies. However, non-IFRS financial measure does not have a standardised meaning prescribed by IFRSs and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

Adjusted segment EBITDA used herein is defined as earnings before interest expense, taxation, depreciation and amortisation, and excludes fair value change on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, written off of goodwill, impairment losses of other intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, share of losses of associates and joint ventures, impairment/(reversal of impairment) on financial and contract assets, loss on promissory note derecognised, unallocated other income and gains and corporate expenses.

Please refer to note 4 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this interim report for reconciliation of loss before tax, an IFRS measure, to adjusted segment EBITDA.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

30 June 2025

1. CORPORATE AND GROUP INFORMATION

Graphex Group Limited (the “Company”) was incorporated as an exempted company with limited liability in the Cayman Islands on 25 November 2013. The registered office address of the Company is Windward 3, Regatta Office Park, P.O. Box 1350, Grand Cayman KY1-1108, Cayman Islands.

The principal activities of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) are development and processing of graphene products, in particular, graphite anode material for lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles, energy storage systems and other applications. The Group is also engaged in landscape architecture and design businesses.

2.1 BASIS OFPREPARATION

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2025 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group’s annual financial statements as at 31 December 2024. These financial statements are presented in Hong Kong dollars (“HK$”) and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand except when otherwise indicated.

All intra-group transactions and balances have been eliminated on consolidation.

Going concern basis

The Group recorded a loss attributable to owners of the parent of HK$24,631,000 for the six months ended 30 June 2025 and net current liabilities of HK$43,274,000 as at 30 June 2025.

In view of the above circumstances, the directors have given careful consideration to the future liquidity and performance of the Group and its available sources of finance in assessing whether the Group will have sufficient financial resources to continue as a going concern in the foreseeable future.

The directors of the Company have reviewed the Group’s cash flow projection prepared by management, which includes revenue and expenditure growth of the business, working capital needs and, the continuing renewal of the banking facilities. They are of the opinion that, after taking into account the measures to be implemented and has been implemented, the Group will have sufficient working capital to finance its operation and to meet its financial obligations for at least the next twelve months from the date of approval of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the directors of the Company believe it is appropriate to prepare the interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2025 on a going concern basis.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

30 June 2025 

2.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION (Continued)

Going concern basis (Continued)

In view of these circumstances, the directors have taken various measures with an aim to improve the Group’s liquidity position. The directors have prepared a cash flow forecast of the Group for the next twelve months from the end of the reporting period taken into account the followings:

(i) The Group has obtained a short-term loan facility of HK$50,000,000 for financing its working capital;

(ii) The Group has taken various cost control measures to tighten the costs of operations;

(iii) The Group is in serious discussions with potential investors for raising new capital by way of issuing new equity and/or debt securities; and

(iv) Graphex (Shandong) New Energy Technologies Limited (the “Graphex Shandong”), being an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company established for the purpose of operating a project in Nanshu Town has on 26 October 2023 received a letter of intent (“LOI”) issued by one of the four major banks of the PRC (the “Bank”) to Graphex Shandong, whereby the Bank has indicated an intention of providing banking facilities of RMB400 million for the project (the “Proposed Loan”). The LOI is non-legally binding and the granting of the Proposed Loan is subject to, amongst other things, the Bank’s further evaluation on the Proposed Loan, finalisation of the terms and conditions of the Proposed Loan and compliance with the relevant banking and other laws and regulations of the PRC.

Whether the Group will be able to generate adequate cash flows to continue as a going concern would depend on the successful outcome of the above measures.

Should the going concern assumption be inappropriate, adjustments may have to be made to write down the values of assets to their recoverable amounts, to provide for further liabilities that might arise, and to reclassify noncurrent assets and non-current liabilities as current assets and current liabilities. The effects of these adjustments have not been reflected in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

2.2 CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DISCLOSURE

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial information are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the Group’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of 1 January 2025. The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

4. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION

Information reported to the board of directors, being the chief operating decision maker (CODM), for the purposes of resources allocation and assessment of segment performance focuses on types of goods and services delivered and provided.

For management purposes, the Group has identified the following two major reportable segments. Certain segments have been aggregated to form the following reportable segments:

(a) Processing and sale of graphite and graphene related products (“Graphene Products Segment”); and

(b) Providing landscape architecture design (“Landscape Architecture Design Segment”).

Management monitors the results of the Group’s operating segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on reportable segment profit, which is a measure of adjusted profit/loss before tax. The adjusted profit/loss before tax is measured consistently with the Group’s profit/loss before tax except that finance costs, as well as head office and corporate income and expenses are excluded from such measurement.

Segment assets exclude deferred tax assets, cash and bank balances and other unallocated head office and corporate assets as these assets are managed on a group basis.

Segment liabilities exclude tax payable, deferred tax liabilities and other unallocated head office and corporate liabilities as these liabilities are managed on a group basis.

Intersegment revenue is eliminated on consolidation. Intersegment sales and transfers are transacted with reference to the service prices used for sales made to third parties at the then prevailing market prices.

10. LOSS PER SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO ORDINARY EQUITY HOLDERS OF THE PARENT

The calculation of the basic loss per share amount is based on the loss for the period attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent of HK$24,631,000 (six months ended 30 June 2024: HK$54,096,000), and the weighted average number of ordinary shares of 395,606,713 (six months ended 30 June 2024 (restated): 321,407,348) issued during the period.

No adjustment has been made to the basic loss per share amounts presented for the six months ended 30 June 2025 and 2024 in respect of a dilution as the impact of the convertible notes, warrants and share options outstanding had an anti-dilution effect on the basic loss per share amounts presented.

The calculation of basic loss per share was based on:

Note:	The weighted average number of ordinary shares for the purpose of calculating basic loss per share has been adjusted for the share consolidation on 26 March 2025, as if the consolidation had occurred on 1 January 2024, being the beginning of the earliest period presented. Further details are set out in note 15(a).
	The weighted average number of shares has also been adjusted for the bonus element of the rights issue completed on 21 May 2025 at a subscription price below market value. Details are set out in note 15(b). Comparative figures for the six months ended 30 June 2024 have been restated accordingly

The Group’s trading terms with its customers are mainly on credit, except for new customers, where payment in advance is normally required. The credit period is two months, extending up to six months for major customers. Each customer has a maximum credit limit. The Group seeks to maintain strict control over its outstanding receivables to minimise credit risk. Overdue balances are reviewed regularly by senior management. In view of the aforementioned and the fact that the Group’s trade and bill receivables relate to a large number of diversified customers, there is no significant concentration of credit risk. The Group does not hold any collateral or other credit enhancements over its trade and bills receivables balances. Trade and bills receivables are non-interest-bearing.

An ageing analysis of trade and bills receivables as at the end of the reporting period, based on the invoice date, and net of allowance for lifetime expected credit losses, is as follows:

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

BUSINESS REVIEW

Graphene Products Business

The revenue contributed by the Graphene Products Segment for the period ended 30 June 2025 recorded a period- to- period decline of 21.3% to approximately HK$48.4 million, representing 63% of the total revenue of the Group. The decline in revenue is due to drop of price caused by keen competition. The adjusted EBITDA of Graphene Products Segment increased HK$3.2 million or 43.2% to approximately HK$10.6 million compared to the same period of 2024. The increase in adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to effective cost control measurements. For the period ended 30 June 2025, the total output of spherical graphite was approximately 5,000 metric tons. All of the spherical graphite is produced and sold in China.

The Group will continue to adopt a cautious approach in increasing the production capacity of our graphene products. As mentioned previously, three new patents belonging to the Group have been published, and one new patent application has been submitted. These patents pertain to innovative processing technologies and the manufacturing of silicon-carbon anode materials. The Group is firmly convinced that investing in technology and research is essential for maintaining its position within the battery supply chain.

Landscape Architecture Business

The Group maintains its market position as one of the leading landscape architecture providers predominantly in the PRC and Hong Kong. It offers landscape architecture services to clients including governments, private property developers, state-owned property developers, design services companies and engineering companies in the PRC and Hong Kong.

The revenue of the Group’s landscape architecture services segment decreased to approximately HK$28.4 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025, representing a decrease of approximately 11.8%, as compared with that of approximately HK$32.2 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to the slowdown in real estate development market in China.

For the six months ended 30 June 2025, the Group entered into 25 new contracts with a total contract sum of approximately HK$21.2 million for projects located in the PRC and 18 new contracts with a total contract sum of approximately HK$8.5 million for projects located in Hong Kong. Geographically, approximately 71.4% of the new contract sum represented projects located in the PRC and approximately 28.6% represented projects located in Hong Kong in terms of contract sum.

The number of new contracts and contract sum entered by the Group compared with last reporting period are set out as follows:

Six months ended 30 June	No. of new contracts		Contract sum (HK$‘million)
2025		43		29.7

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Revenue

The Group’s total revenue decreased to approximately HK$76.8 million in the first half of 2025, compared with HK$93.7 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024, representing year-on-year decrease of approximately 18%. The decrease was mainly attributable to the less favourable market and economic environment.

The graphene products segment contributed revenue of approximately HK$48.4 million, representing a decrease of approximately 21.3%, compared with HK$61.5 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024. The landscape architecture segment contributed revenue of approximately HK$28.4 million, representing a decrease of approximately 11.8%, compared with HK$32.2 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024.

Cost of sales decreased to approximately HK$49 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025, representing a decrease of approximately 22.7%, as compared with that of approximately HK$63.4 million for the same period in 2024.

Cost of sales mainly represented cost of inventories in respect of graphene products business and project staff cost in respect of landscape architecture segment. The decrease in cost of sales was generally in line with the decrease in revenue derived from the graphene products segment and landscape architecture segment.

Gross profit and gross profit margin

Gross profit decreased to approximately HK$27.8 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025, representing a decrease of approximately 8.3%, as compared with that of approximately HK$30.3 million for the same period in 2024.

Gross profit margin increased to approximately 36% for the six months ended 30 June 2025, as compared with that of approximately 32% for the same period in 2024. The slight increase was mainly attributable to the increase in the gross profit margin in the graphene segment.

Selling and marketing expenses

Selling and marketing expenses decreased to approximately HK$0.7 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025, representing a decrease of approximately 41.7%, as compared with that of approximately HK$1.2 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in revenue in the graphene segment.

Administrative expenses

Administrative expenses decreased to approximately HK$50 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025, representing a decrease of approximately 25.7%, as compared with that of approximately HK$67.3 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease was a combined effect of (i) the decrease in share-based payment expenses of approximately HK$11.6 million including share awards to directors, employees and consultants and (ii) the decrease in the overall salaries of the Group of approximately HK$6.1 million which is attributable to the effective cost control measurement.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

(iii) On 19 July 2023, the Company entered into the Cooperation Agreement with the Nanshu Town Government pursuant to which the Company and the Nanshu Town Government intended to have a cooperation in the “Graphite Anode Material Project” (“Phase 1 Project”) in Laixi City Nanshu Town New Material Industrial Park which is situated in Nanshu Town, Laixi City, Shandong Province, the PRC. Subject to obtaining all approval from the PRC government, the Company will set up the factory plants for the manufacturing of lithium- ion battery anode materials in the Park. The Company can apply for the relevant policy subsidies of “Several Preferential Measures for Investment Promotion in Laixi City (Trial)” (Xifa [2023] No. 1) after meeting the relevant requirements. It is estimated that the Company’s total investment will be around RMB1,000 million.

The Company obtained the energy permit for Phase 1 Project in August 2024 and is pending for the approval of the environmental permit. The Company was informed by the local power supply authorities that the current power supply was not sufficient for the factory use of Phase 1 Project. The Company has consulted a local power engineering company regarding this issue and is negotiating with the landlord and Nanshu Town Government about possible remedies. In light of this situation, Phase 1 Project implementation will be delayed.

On 10 January 2024, Graphex Shangdong, an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group, as the tenant, and an independent third party, the landlord, entered into a lease agreement in respect of the factory buildings located in Laixi City, Shandong Province, PRC for an aggregate term of 10 years made up of an initial term of 5 years and a subsequent term of 5 years which shall be extended automatically after expiry of the initial term. The undiscounted total rentals payable under the lease agreement for the full lease term of 10 years is RMB58,872,000 (equivalent as stipulated in the lease agreement to approximately HK$65,936,000). Due to the delay implementation of Phase 1 for reasons mentioned above, the factory buildings as stipulated in the lease agreement have not been handed over to Graphex Shangdong up to the date of approval of these consolidated financial statements, and the landlord has agreed that Graphex Shangdong lease agreement will not be commenced until the landlord has provided Graphex Shangdong with the legal proof of its right to lease the factory buildings. The right-of-use assets and the lease liabilities have not yet recognised at 30 June 2025.

Nevertheless, the Directors will closely monitor the Group’s foreign currency position and consider natural hedge technique to manage its foreign currency exposures by non-financial methods, managing the transaction currency, leading and lagging payments, receivable management, etc. Save for meeting working capital needs, the Group only holds minimum foreign currency.

Graphex Group Limited Interim Report 2025 43

OTHER INFORMATION 

Summary of the 2023 Share Award Scheme

1.	Purposes	(i) to attract talents, suitable personnel and entities that are eligible participants; (ii) to award certain selected participants with awarded shares for accepting their appointments, employments or engagement by the Group and related entities; (iii) to recognize the contributions by certain selected participants and to provide them with incentives in order to retain them for the continual operation, development and growth of the Group and related entities; and (iv) to improve or create sense of connection and/or loyalty of certain selected participants to the Group and related entities
2.	Qualifying participants	(i) Any director and employee of the Group or its subsidiaries; (ii) Any director and employee of the related entities of the Group; and (iii) Any person who provided services to the Group on a continuing or recurring basis
3.	Maximum number of shares	Not exceeding 10% of the shares of the Company in issue as at the date of adoption of the 2023 Share Award Scheme (i.e. 68,349,307 shares)
4.	Maximum entitlement of each participant	Not exceed 1% of the issued share capital of the Company from time to time
5.	Vesting period	Subject to the terms and condition of the 2023 Share Award Scheme and the fulfillment of all vesting conditions to the vesting of the awarded Shares on such selected employee as specified in the grant notice and in accordance with the vesting schedule (if any) as set out therein
6.	The amount payable on acceptance of the award	Nil
7.	The remaining life of the scheme	It shall be valid and effect for a period of 10 years commencing on 6 February 2023

The Remuneration Committee has noted that the 2023 Share Award Scheme is intended to attract talents, suitable personnel and entities who will accept awarded shares as part of their remuneration, compensation or payment packages for the development and growth of the businesses of the Group; to award certain selected participants with award shares for accepting their appointments, employments or engagement by the Group; to provide certain participants with incentives in order to retain them for the continual operation, development and growth of the Group and to improve or create sense of connection and/or loyalty of certain selected participants to the Group. In recommending the grant of those share awards to the selected participants and determining the number of share awards and the relevant vesting periods for the share awards to be granted, the Remuneration Committee has considered factors such as (i) whether they were considered as talent and personnel that could contribute to the development and growth of the business of the Group that the Company would want to recruit with reference to their industry experience, tenure and roles with the Group; (ii) the remuneration of them including the grant of share awards as part of their remuneration packages as an incentive offered by the Group as compared with those offered by the industry peers in order to attract them in joining the Group; (iii) whether they would accept award shares as part of their remuneration or compensation package and as inducement for them to accept any offer for appointment; (iv) the business synergy and opportunities that might be brought by them to the Group; and (v) whether the share awards could further motivate their performances for the benefit of the businesses of the Group. 

Graphex Group Limited Interim Report 2025 44

OTHER INFORMATION

The Remuneration Committee considered that for those share awards granted with the vesting period less than 12 months from the date of grant is appropriate and necessary to enable the Company to provide competitive terms and conditions to valuable talent for the development and growth of the Group’s Graphene Products Business. It is necessary to enable the Company to offer competitive employment package to the grantees in order to retain valuable and loyal talent and to attract the talent and suitable personnel who will accept award shares as part of his/her remuneration, compensation or payment packages in accepting to stay on and continue his/her employment with the Group to further promote the development and growth of the Group’s businesses, to improve or create sense of connection and/or loyalty of him/her to the Group and to provide incentive to him/her to continue to work for the success and improve the performance of the Group and thus it could align the interest of the grantees with the Company and its shareholders as a whole.

Accordingly, having taken into account the factors above, the Remuneration Committee considered that notwithstanding the absence of performance targets, the shorter vesting period and the limited clawback mechanism, the share awards granted during the year ended 31 December 2023 can incentivize the grantees to strive for the future development of the Company which was in line with the purpose of 2023 Share Award Scheme.

During the six months ended 30 June 2025, there was no share awards granted under the 2023 Share Award Scheme.

The number of award shares available for grant under the 2023 Share Award Scheme at the beginning and end of the six months ended 30 June 2025 were nil.

The number of shares that may be issued in respect of the share awards granted under the 2023 Share Award Scheme is 5,215,224 Shares, representing approximately 1.32% of the weighted average number of Shares issued and outstanding for the six months ended 30 June 2025.
