Westport Fuel Systems (WPRT) reported Q1 2025 financial results showing significant improvement in its net loss position. The company reduced its net loss to $2.5 million from $13.6 million in Q1 2024, supported by a $3.5 million increase in gross profit and $8.1 million decrease in operating expenses. Revenue decreased 9% to $71.0 million, primarily due to lower sales in Heavy-Duty OEM and High-Pressure Controls segments. The company's Cespira joint venture with Volvo Group showed promising results, with gas-powered truck sales utilizing HPDI technology up more than 25% in 2024. Westport is strategically realigning to focus on hard-to-decarbonize applications in long-haul and heavy-duty trucking, with plans to sell its light-duty business. Cash and cash equivalents stood at $32.6 million at quarter-end, with the company reporting neutral Adjusted EBITDA compared to negative $6.6 million in the same period last year.
Westport Fuel Systems (WPRT) ha riportato i risultati finanziari del primo trimestre 2025, evidenziando un notevole miglioramento nella posizione di perdita netta. L'azienda ha ridotto la perdita netta a 2,5 milioni di dollari rispetto ai 13,6 milioni di dollari del primo trimestre 2024, grazie a un aumento del margine lordo di 3,5 milioni di dollari e a una riduzione delle spese operative di 8,1 milioni di dollari. I ricavi sono diminuiti del 9% attestandosi a 71,0 milioni di dollari, principalmente a causa di vendite inferiori nei segmenti Heavy-Duty OEM e High-Pressure Controls.

Insights

Westport substantially reduced Q1 net losses by 82% year-over-year despite revenue decline, showing positive transformation amid strategic pivot.

Westport's Q1 2025 results present a mixed but improving financial picture. While revenue decreased 9% to $71.0 million, the company dramatically reduced its net loss to $2.5 million from $13.6 million in Q1 2024 – an 82% improvement. This significant bottom-line enhancement was driven by a $3.5 million increase in gross profit and $8.1 million reduction in operating expenses.

Most impressively, Westport achieved breakeven Adjusted EBITDA compared to negative $6.6 million in the prior year period, representing a complete turnaround in operational efficiency. Gross margin expanded substantially from 15% to 21%, indicating better pricing power and cost management despite lower volume.

The revenue decline primarily stemmed from reduced sales in Heavy-Duty OEM and High-Pressure Controls segments, partially offset by slight growth in Light-Duty. The company's cash position stands at $32.6 million, with $4.9 million used in operating activities during the quarter.

The strategic transformation through the Cespira joint venture with Volvo is beginning to show promise. While Cespira posted an operating loss of $7.1 million, its revenue of $16.7 million represents growth compared to the $11.9 million from the Heavy-Duty OEM segment in the prior year. This revenue increase was driven primarily by higher HPDI fuel system volumes, validating management's strategic focus.

The pending sale of the light-duty business represents a pivotal strategic shift toward hard-to-decarbonize applications in heavy-duty and long-haul trucking. This divestiture should provide immediate cash proceeds to strengthen the balance sheet and fund growth opportunities in Cespira and High-Pressure Controls.

Volvo's report of 25% increased gas-powered truck sales in 2024 that utilize Westport's HPDI technology provides external validation for their strategic direction. The market appears to be increasingly recognizing alternative fuel internal combustion engines as viable solutions for decarbonizing heavy transport.

Overall, Westport's financial transformation is showing tangible results through significant margin expansion and drastically reduced losses, despite a challenging revenue environment. The strategic pivot toward the higher-potential heavy-duty segment through Cespira appears well-timed given market trends, though execution risks remain as the joint venture continues to operate at a loss during its scaling phase.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Westport Fuel Systems Inc. (“Westport") (TSX:WPRT / Nasdaq:WPRT) reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025, and provided an update on operations. All figures are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.

“We continue to make significant strides in transforming Westport and sharpening our strategic focus. Our priorities remain clear: driving success through Cespira, our HPDI joint venture with Volvo Group; pursuing operational excellence through initiatives to streamline processes and reduce costs; and positioning Westport at the forefront of the alternative fuel shift.

These priorities are guiding us as we work towards a brighter future. We're seeing the impact of our efforts in our recent results – we significantly improved our net loss to $2.5 million in Q1 of 2025 from a net loss of $13.6 million in Q1 of 2024. This was supported by a $3.5 million increase in gross profit and an $8.1 million decrease in operating expenses. We also reported a substantial improvement in adjusted EBITDA as compared to the same period of the prior year.

Looking to the future, with the announcement of the proposed sale of our light-duty business, Westport is realigning to focus on the hard-to-decarbonize applications primarily in long-haul and heavy-duty trucking where our unique HPDI and high-pressure technologies offer significant growth potential. Critically, this transaction is designed to provide immediate cash proceeds that bolster our balance sheet and fund growth opportunities in Cespira and the High-Pressure Controls & Systems business.

Now, the conversation has changed. Our attendance at the Advanced Clean Transportation Expo or ACT Expo, the largest showcase of clean transportation technologies in North America, validated our view that the market recognizes that the internal combustion engine utilizing alternative fuels is an affordable solution that also decarbonizes long-haul, heavy-duty transport. Westport is the clean-tech innovation company to help drive this change. Through Cespira, the HPDI fuel system does the on-engine work to our High Pressure Controls and Systems business where our components do the off-engine work we are providing OEMs with simplified solutions to decarbonize.

Volvo recently highlighted that demand for their gas-powered trucks that utilize HPDI technology has been increasing, with sales up more than 25% in 2024, a trend that we saw continue into Q1 with Cespira delivering improved revenue driven by increased volumes as compared to Q1 of 2024. While we remain focused on scaling our alternative fuel solutions, including LNG, CNG, RNG, and hydrogen systems, we are matching the cleanest gaseous fuels with the most efficient engine technologies. We are committed to delivering practical, commercially viable low-carbon solutions today and providing sustainable, high-performance solutions that help our customers achieve their goals now and for years to come."

Dan Sceli, Chief Executive Officer

Q1 2025 Highlights

  • Revenues decreased 9% to $71.0 million compared to the same period in 2024, primarily driven by decreased sales volumes in our Heavy-Duty OEM and High-Pressure Controls & Systems segments. This was partially offset by increased sales in our Light-Duty segment in the quarter. In Q1 2024, our Heavy-Duty OEM segment included the financial results of the HPDI business which are now accounted for as part of the Cespira joint venture.
  • Net loss of $2.5 million for the quarter compared to net loss of $13.6 million for the same quarter last year. The decrease in net loss was driven by a $3.5 million increase in gross profit, decrease in operating expenditures by $8.1 million; change in foreign exchange gain or loss by $2.3 million and an increase in loss from investments accounted for by the equity method of $3.8 million.
  • Adjusted EBITDA[1] of nil  compared to negative $6.6 million for the same period in 2024.
  • Cash and cash equivalents were $32.6 million at the end of the first quarter. Cash used in operating activities during the quarter was $4.9 million with net cash used by working capital of $8.1 million, partially offset by operating income of $1.7 million. Investing activities included the collection of $10.5 million in a holdback receivable related to our previous sale of CWI to Cummins in 2022, capital contribution into Cespira of $4.7 million and purchase of capital assets of $3.1 million. Cash used in financing activities was attributed to net debt repayments of $3.9 million in the quarter.

Segment Information

Light-Duty

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $64.2 million compared with $63.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Light-Duty revenue increased by $0.9 million compared to the prior year and was primarily driven by increase in sales in our light-duty OEM and DOEM businesses. The light-duty OEM business had an increase in sales from its Euro 6 program compared to the prior year. In the first quarter of 2024, DOEM had a significant decrease in sales to a customer. This was partially offset by lower sales in our IAM, electronics and fuel storage businesses compared to the prior year.

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased by $1.6 million to $14.0 million, or 22% of revenue, compared to $12.4 million, or 20% of revenue, for the same prior year period. This was primarily driven by a change in sales mix with an increase in sales to European customers and a reduction in sales to developing regions.

High Pressure Controls & Systems

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $1.4 million compared with $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the prior year was primarily driven by the hydrogen industry slowdown impacting demand for hydrogen components.

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased by $0.2 million to $0.2 million, or 14% of revenue, compared to $0.4 million, or 17% of revenue, for the same prior year period. This was primarily driven by lower sales volumes increasing the per unit manufacturing costs in the quarter.

Heavy-Duty Original Equipment Manufacturer ("OEM")

Revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $5.4 million, compared to $11.9 million for the prior year. The decrease in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 is a result of the continuation of the business in Cespira. The revenue earned in the current quarter was from our services provided under the transitional service agreement with Cespira that is expected to end by Q2 2026.

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased by $2.1 million to $1.0 million, or 19% of revenue, compared to negative $1.1 million or negative 9% of revenue, for the same prior year period. The Heavy-Duty OEM segment received $0.9million in credits from component suppliers for inventory sold in the quarter.

GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). These U.S. GAAP financial statements include non-cash charges and other charges and benefits that may be unusual or infrequent in nature or that we believe may make comparisons to our prior or future performance difficult. In addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, Westport and certain investors use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as an indicator of our ability to generate liquidity by producing operating cash flow to fund working capital needs, service debt obligations and fund capital expenditures. Management also uses these non-GAAP measures in its review and evaluation of the financial performance of Westport. EBITDA is also frequently used by investors and analysts for valuation purposes whereby EBITDA is multiplied by a factor or "EBITDA multiple" that is based on an observed or inferred relationship between EBITDA and market values to determine the approximate total enterprise value of a company. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures also provide additional insight to investors and securities analysts as supplemental information to our U.S. GAAP results and as a basis to compare our financial performance period-over-period and to compare our financial performance with that of other companies. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate comparisons of our core operating results from period to period and to other companies by, in the case of EBITDA, removing the effects of our capital structure (net interest income on cash deposits, interest expense on outstanding debt and debt facilities), asset base (depreciation and amortization) and tax consequences. Adjusted EBITDA provides this same indicator of Westports' EBITDA from continuing operations and removing such effects of our capital structure, asset base and tax consequences, but additionally excludes any unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses, stock-based compensation charges and other one-time impairments and costs which are not expected to be repeated in order to provide greater insight into the cash flow being produced from our operating business, without the influence of extraneous events.

Segment Information

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are intended to provide additional information to investors and analysts and do not have any standardized definition under U.S. GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude the impact of cash costs of financing activities and taxes, and the effects of changes in operating working capital balances, and therefore are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under U.S. GAAP. Other companies may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently.

Segment earnings or losses before income taxes, interest, depreciation, and amortization ("Segment EBITDA") is the measure of segment profitability used by the Company. The accounting policies of our reportable segments are the same as those applied in our consolidated financial statements. Management prepared the financial results of the Company's reportable segments on basis that is consistent with the manner in which Management internally disaggregates financial information to assist in making internal operating decisions. Certain common costs and expenses, primarily corporate functions, among segments differently than we would for stand-alone financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. These include certain costs and expenses of shared services, such as IT, human resources, legal, finance and supply chain management. Segment EBITDA is not defined under US GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and should not be considered a substitute for net earnings or other results reported in accordance with GAAP. Reconciliations of reportable segment information to consolidated statement of operations can be found in section "NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES & RECONCILIATIONS" within this press release.
