Recent Company History

Over the past few quarters, Westport has evolved into a smaller, more focused business after divesting its Light‑Duty segment and leaning more on the Cespira joint venture. Earnings communications in 2025‑2026 have highlighted declining legacy revenues, persistent net losses, and repeated going‑concern language, alongside improving Cespira growth. Notices about upcoming earnings calls (Mar 12, 2026, Apr 20, 2026, May 7, 2026) drew modestly positive or mixed reactions, while detailed result releases on Nov 10, 2025 and Apr 23, 2026 coincided with share price declines.

Analysis

This announcement details Q1 2026 results showing revenue declining to $2.3M, a net loss from continuing operations of $5.7M, and Adjusted EBITDA of - $4.9M, offset by strong Cespira revenue of $22.249M and lower long‑term debt of $1.9M.

Investors may focus on liquidity trends, Cespira’s growth trajectory, and execution of cost controls in upcoming quarters.

Key Terms

adjusted ebitda, equity method, non-gaap, ebitda, +3 more
7 terms
adjusted ebitda financial
"Adjusted EBITDA1 of negative $4.9 million compared to nil for the same period"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
equity method financial
"loss from investments accounted for by the equity method"
An equity method investment is an accounting approach used when a company owns enough of another business to influence its decisions but not control it (commonly around 20–50% ownership). Instead of counting only dividends, the investor records its share of the other company’s profits and losses on its own income statement and adjusts the investment’s value on the balance sheet—like tracking a friend’s joint project by noting your share of their gains or setbacks. For investors, this matters because it can significantly affect reported earnings, asset values, and the apparent strength of a company’s financial results.
non-gaap financial
"Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation is a non-GAAP measure"
Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.
ebitda financial
"EBITDA (2) | $ | (6,034 | ) | $ | (135 | )"
EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. It measures a company's profitability by focusing on the money it makes from its core operations, ignoring expenses like taxes and accounting adjustments. Investors use EBITDA to compare how well different companies are performing financially, as it provides a clearer picture of operational success without the influence of financial structure or accounting choices.
gross margin financial
"Gross margin % (2) | 23 % | 21 %"
Gross margin is the difference between how much money a company makes from selling its products and how much it costs to produce them, expressed as a percentage of sales. It shows how efficiently a company is turning sales into profit before other expenses like marketing or salaries. Higher gross margin means the company keeps more money from each sale, which is a good sign of financial health.
compound annual growth rate financial
"projects a 12.5% compound annual growth rate through 2031"
The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) shows how much an investment or value has grown, on average, each year over a specific period. It considers the effect of growth that compounds or builds upon itself, similar to how interest accumulates in a savings account. Investors use CAGR to compare different investments’ long-term performance and to understand how steady or consistent their growth has been over time.
going concern financial
"These conditions raise substantial doubt about Westport's ability continue as a going concern"
A going concern is a business that is expected to continue its operations and meet its obligations for the foreseeable future, rather than shutting down or selling off assets. This assumption matters to investors because it indicates stability and ongoing profitability, making the business a more reliable investment. Think of it as believing a restaurant will stay open and serve customers, rather than closing down suddenly.

~Strong demand for the LNG HPDI trucks drives significant Q1 revenue growth for Cespira; Showcasing the high-pressure CNG storage solution at ACT Expo a defining step towards the North American market ~

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Westport Fuel Systems Inc. (“Westport") (TSX:WPRT / Nasdaq:WPRT) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, and provided an update on operations. All figures are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.

“We are seeing continued momentum in our Cespira joint venture with Volvo Group reflected in a 33% increase in revenue compared to the same quarter in 2025. This performance, includes incremental volumes delivered to a second OEM for a truck trial, is becoming increasingly material to our overall results and reinforces the growing market acceptance of Cespira’s HPDI™ fuel system technology. Favorable LNG pricing dynamics in Europe and other existing markets are also supporting increased demand, providing a solid foundation for continued growth through 2026.

The European LNG heavy-duty truck market is anticipated to show strong annual growth. Cognitive Market Research highlights a 30% global LNG heavy-duty truck market share for Europe, and projects a 12.5% compound annual growth rate through 2031. Tightening emissions regulations, expanding LNG refueling infrastructure, strong fleet economics and technology improvements all reinforce the use of LNG for long-haul trucking in Europe.

At the same time, we are advancing our high-pressure CNG storage solutions into the North American market, as demonstrated by our participation at ACT Expo. As we showcased this platform, we demonstrated what sets us apart - not just innovation, but the ability to bring it to market where it matters most, and fleets and OEMs are starting to notice. It was clear from the volume of interactions this year compared to previous years that it is an exciting time for Westport. We are making clear steps forward in expanding our technology reach, where we see growing demand for high-performance, lower-emission alternatives. The show's success was a clear signal that we are advancing our high-pressure CNG storage solution into a North American market with real momentum, positioning Westport to capture long-term growth opportunities in the global heavy-duty transportation market.

Our High-Pressure Controls business is seeing momentum increasing following the opening of our expanded product development and manufacturing facility in Cambridge, Ontario and our new China Hydrogen Innovation Center and Manufacturing facility in Changzhou, China. We have demonstrated improved results for first quarter of 2026 with a 21% increase in revenue in this business, compared with the same period last year."

Dan Sceli, Chief Executive Officer

First Quarter 2026 Financial Highlights

  • Revenues for the first quarter of 2026 decreased to $2.3 million compared to $7.3 million in the same quarter last year. As planned, our Heavy-Duty OEM segment ended its transitional service agreement with Cespira at the end of Q2 2025 resulting in reduction in revenue when comparing period over period.
  • For the three months ended March 31, 2026, Cespira, our joint venture with Volvo Group, increased its revenue by $5.6 million or 33% compared to the prior year quarter. Cespira reduced its net loss by $4.6 million and reliance on funding from its partners in the quarter. Westport reduced its capital contributions to Cespira in the quarter from $4.7 million to $2.9 million.
  • For the three months ended March 31, 2026, our High-Pressure Controls segment increased its revenue by $0.4 million or 21% compared to the prior year quarter.
  • Net loss from continuing operations of $5.7 million for the quarter compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $5.3 million for the same quarter last year.
  • Adjusted EBITDA1 of negative $4.9 million compared to nil for the same period in 2025. The increase in negative adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by a decrease in gross profit, partially offset by lower operating expenditures and loss from investments accounted for by the equity method. Included in the prior year quarter's adjusted EBITDA was our discontinued operations' performance, which had a net profit of $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
  • Cash and cash equivalents were $24.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. Cash used in operating activities was $3.3 million, primarily driven by operating losses in the quarter and changes in working capital. Cash provided by investing activities from continuing operations primarily consisted of proceeds received from holdback receivables, partially offset by capital contributions in Cespira of $2.9 million Cash used in financing activities from continuing operations was debt repayments of $1.0 million in the quarter.
  • Long term debt, including the current portion, was $1.9 million as at March 31, 2026, compared to $2.9 million at December 31, 2025.

Cespira's product revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $19.5 million compared to $13.2 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in revenue of 48% in the current quarter was primarily driven by higher volumes of systems sold compared to the prior year quarter.

Cespira's service revenue was $2.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 compared to $3.5 million in the prior year quarter. The decrease in service revenue in the current quarter was primarily driven by the milestones achieved. Service revenue allocated to project milestones are weighted differently across the phases of an engineering service revenue project. One of Cespira's significant long-term engineering service revenue project is expected to complete in Q4 2026 in advance of the anticipated launch of their Euro 7 product.

Gross profit was $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026., compared to $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase in gross profit was primarily driven by the increase in higher volumes of systems sold.

Cespira incurred losses of $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Cespira significantly reduced its operating loss compared to the prior year quarter by meaningfully increasing its product revenue and adjusting its cost base as it continues to grow and scale the business.

Liquidity and Going Concern

As at March 31, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $24.5 million and long-term debt of $1.9 million from Export Development Canada ("EDC"), of which all is current.

Based on our projected capital expenditures, debt servicing obligations and operating requirements under our current business plan, we are projecting that our cash and cash equivalents will not be sufficient to fund our operations through the next twelve months from the date of the issuance of this MD&A. These conditions raise substantial doubt about Westport's ability continue as a going concern within one year after the date of this MD&A is issued.

Management is currently evaluating several different options to improve Westport's liquidity position, including raising funds from the public markets and borrowing debt or other financing alternatives. These plans are not final and are subject to market and other conditions not within our control. As such, there can be no assurances that Westport will be successful in obtaining sufficient funding. Accordingly, we concluded under the accounting standards that these plans do not alleviate the substantial doubt about Westport's ability to continue as a going concern.

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 Westport's 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 U.S. 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 Measure & Reconciliations" within this this press release.
