Westport Releases Financial Summary for the Second Quarter of 2025
Westport Fuel Systems Inc. has released its Q2 2025 financial results, showcasing a significant shift in the company's strategy following the divestiture of its Light-Duty segment. The move has resulted in a financial downturn, but the company remains optimistic about its future growth prospects.
Financial Highlights
The divestiture of the Light-Duty segment, which generated $76.4 million in revenue in Q2 2025, strengthened Westport's balance sheet. However, the company reported a net loss from continuing operations of $5.1 million for Q2 2025, a stark contrast to net income of $4.1 million for the same quarter in 2024. Revenue decreased by 11% to $12.5 million, primarily due to the divestiture and overall market challenges.
The sale of the Light-Duty segment reduced Westport’s outstanding debt by approximately $24.3 million. The company's cash and cash equivalents stood at $6.1 million at the end of Q2 2025.
Strategic Refocus
The divestiture has refocused Westport’s strategy towards commercial transportation, industrial applications, and growth areas such as the Cespira joint venture and High-Pressure Controls & Systems. Westport's goal for Cespira over the next 12 months is to deliver demonstrated volume growth and increase the OEM presence and related new market activity for Cespira.
Cespira's hydrogen HPDI platform is currently being discussed with additional global OEMs, signaling a broader opportunity to extend HPDI's value across geographies, markets, and fuel platforms over the long-term. Westport plans to open a state-of-the-art Hydrogen Innovation Center and manufacturing facility in China late in 2025.
Operational Performance
Operationally, Westport’s adjusted EBITDA loss improved to -$1 million from -$2 million a year earlier, reflecting some cost-cutting success. However, Q2 revenue in the remaining segments (High-Pressure Controls & Systems and Heavy-Duty OEM) declined due to hydrogen market difficulties and reduced sales.
The High-Pressure Controls & Systems business is currently selling into three primary markets: China, Europe, and North America. The Heavy-Duty OEM segment received $1.5 million in credits from component suppliers for inventory sold in the period.
Looking Ahead
Despite short-term losses, Westport aims to leverage these segments for long-term growth, noting increased demand for Cespira fuel systems in Europe and plans to cut expenses and boost R&D investments. The company is navigating a transitional phase, improving cash flow and focusing on higher-potential markets within commercial transport and clean fuel technologies.
