Westport Fuel Systems (NASDAQ:WPRT) has filed a preliminary short form base shelf prospectus to replace its expired June 18, 2025 prospectus. The new filing will allow Westport to offer up to $100 million in various securities, including common shares, preferred shares, subscription receipts, warrants, debt securities, or units, over a 25-month period.

The company has also filed a corresponding shelf registration statement with the SEC on Form F-3.

Westport Fuel Systems (NASDAQ:WPRT) reported Q2 2025 financial results, highlighting a strategic transformation following the successful divestiture of its Light-Duty Segment for $62.5 million. Q2 revenues decreased 11% to $12.5 million, with a net loss from continuing operations of $5.1 million compared to net income of $4.1 million in Q2 2024.

The company is now focusing on two core growth pillars: Cespira, their joint venture with Volvo Group showing 25% year-over-year growth in 2024 with approximately 9,000 trucks on the road, and the High-Pressure Controls & Systems business. Westport plans to open a new Hydrogen Innovation Center in China by late 2025 and is relocating European manufacturing operations to Canada.

Cash position stood at $6.1 million at quarter-end, with the Light-Duty segment sale providing additional liquidity through $41.2 million in initial cash proceeds, plus deferred and escrow payments totaling $21.3 million.

Westport Fuel Systems (NASDAQ:WPRT) has successfully completed the divestiture of its Light-Duty Segment to Heliaca Investments for approximately $79.5 million, with potential earnouts of up to $3.9 million based on performance milestones.

This strategic move allows Westport to focus on larger, higher-growth opportunities in heavy-duty and high horsepower commercial mobility and industrial applications.

Following the divestiture, Westport will concentrate on three key areas: Cespira for heavy-duty transportation, High Pressure Controls and Systems for multiple powertrain platforms, and Financial Initiatives to balance market opportunities and conditions.
