On July 29, 2025, Westport completed the sale of its Light-Duty segment. From the third quarter of 2025, Westport has started reporting its results under three segments: Cespira, High-Pressure Controls and Systems, and Heavy-Duty OEM. Cespira is Westport’s HPDI joint venture with Volvo Group.
Cespira: The segment reported net sales of $19.3 million, which topped our estimate of $12.6 million and rose from $16.2 million reported in the corresponding quarter of 2024. It incurred an operating loss of $4.2 million in the third quarter of 2025, wider than the loss of $4.1 million reported in the corresponding quarter of 2024.
High-Pressure Controls and Systems: Net sales of the segment totaled $1.6 million, which fell from $1.8 million reported in the corresponding quarter of 2024 due to lower sales during the plant relocation from Italy to Canada and China. The figure, however, surpassed our estimate of $1.1 million.
In the reported quarter, gross profit fell to $0.5 million of revenues (31% of revenues) from $0.4 million (22% of revenues) in the year-ago period due to higher margins in engineering service.
Heavy-Duty OEM: The segment’s transitional service agreement with Cespira concluded in the second quarter of 2025, resulting in no sales activity during the period.
Westport had cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash) of $33.1 million as of Sept. 30, 2025, up from $14.75 million as of Dec. 31, 2024. Long-term debt increased to $1.18 million as of Sept. 30, 2025, from $548,000 as of Dec. 31, 2024.
