David Barr, CEO of PTF said, "It is an honour to be included in the TSX Venture 50. We are also investors in TSX Venture listed companies and several of our holdings have been recognized with this same award over the years. It is because of the continued success of these companies that we have been recognized today so I would like to thank the management teams of our portfolio companies for helping us get here."

2021 was an exciting year for the companies within the PTF portfolio. Three private holdings went public: Tantalus Systems Holdings Inc. (TSX: GRID), BuildDirect.com Technologies Inc. (TSXV: BILD), and Copperleaf Technologies Inc. (TSX: CPLF) which achieved unicorn status with its IPO at over a $1 billion valuation. The Company was also pleased to see private technology companies from its portfolio close on successful M&A transactions, which included: One45 Software Inc. (Altus Assessments Inc.), Redlen Technologies Inc. (Canon Inc.), and Teradici Corp. (HP Inc.).

During the past year, the Company also completed the acquisition of the majority of the shares of Working Opportunity Fund (EVCC) Ltd., a BC-based venture capital fund that was subsequently renamed Pender Private Investments Inc.

The Company saw share price appreciation in 2021 from $4.35 on December 31, 2020 to $18.00 a year later. Reporting Net Asset Value per share 1 of the Company increased through the year as a result of its portfolio's performance, from $6.07 on December 31, 2020 to $24.62 a year later.

Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

1 "Reporting NAV per share" is a non-IFRS measure that the Company uses as a key indicator to evaluate the performance and condition of our business. It represents PTF's Net Asset Value ("NAV") per share including the proportionate share of the NAV of Pender Private Investments Inc. ("PPI"). The calculation of Reporting NAV uses two financial measures that are individually recognized under IFRS, assets and liabilities, and adjusts them to include PTF's proportionate ownership share of PPI's NAV. PTF acquired its share of PPI's portfolio at a discount of 43.5% to fair value. Under IFRS, the gain on this acquisition at a discount, is treated as a deferred gain and total shareholders' equity per share for financial reporting purposes excludes this deferred gain and the deferred gain will be recognized to the extent that it arises from a change in a factor (including time) that market participants would take into account when pricing the investment. The calculation of Reporting NAV does not include potential future taxes associated with unrealized capital gains and from time to time it may reflect valuation discounts that are more conservative than those permitted under IFRS. We believe that Reporting NAV is a useful indicator of the value and condition of our business. Reporting NAV is a non-IFRS financial measure and does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other reporting issuers. Please refer to the Company's AIF for more information.

Westport Reports Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Westport Reports Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Westport Fuel Systems Inc. (" Westport ") (TSX:WPRT Nasdaq:WPRT), a leading supplier of advanced alternative fuel systems and components for the global transportation industry, reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024, and provided an update on operations. All figures are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.

"Westport delivered solid results in the third quarter of 2024. Although revenue was down, this decrease was more than outweighed by the revenue earned at Cespira and we delivered significant improvement in Adjusted EBITDA. We continue to execute against our three strategic pillars - harnessing the potential of our HPDI joint venture, enhancing operational excellence, and driving continuous innovation to shape the world's alternative fueled future. The third quarter represented the first full quarter with Cespira, our HPDI joint venture with Volvo Group, being operational. This, along with the steps we have taken with respect to various cost cutting measures, has enabled Westport to decrease our costs including research and development as well as sales, general and administrative expenses by approximately 40 percent as compared to the same period last year.
