Westport Announces Closing of Previously Announced Light-Duty Segment Divestiture

Westport Announces Closing of Previously Announced Light-Duty Segment Divestiture

 

Westport Fuel Systems Inc. ("Westport" or the "Company") (TSX:WPRT Nasdaq:WPRT), today announced the successful closing of the previously announced transaction to divest its Light-Duty Segment and outlines its strategic vision for future growth, emphasizing expansion of market share, entering new markets and right sizing its current operations.

 

Today, Westport closed the sale of the Light-Duty Segment to a wholly-owned investment vehicle of Heliaca Investments Coöperatief U.A. ("Heliaca Investments"), a Netherlands based investment firm supported by Ramphastos Investments Management B.V., a prominent Dutch venture capital and private equity firm (the "Transaction"). The Transaction, initially announced on March 31, 2025, includes the sale of Westport Fuel Systems Italia S.r.l., encompassing the Light-Duty OEM, delayed OEM, and independent aftermarket businesses. Total consideration for the assets was a base price of approximately $79.5 million (€67.7 million), subject to certain adjustments, along with potential earnouts of up to a revised estimate of $3.9 million (€3.3 million) based on future performance milestones.

 

"The successful completion of the disposition of our Light-Duty Segment marks a pivotal step in strengthening our balance sheet," said Dan Sceli, Chief Executive Officer of Westport Fuel Systems. "More importantly, it allows Westport to sharpen our focus on the larger, higher-growth opportunities ahead, including providing the most economical solutions for heavier duty and high horse power commercial mobility and industrial applications that also deeply decarbonize these challenging segments – where we believe our products and technologies can deliver the greatest value."

 

  The New Westport  

 

With the successful completion of the Light-Duty Segment divestiture, Westport is taking the necessary steps to execute on a new and focused integrated business strategy. The Company recognizes the evolving macroeconomic environment and is positioning itself to capitalize on renewed market momentum, drive operational excellence, and deliver on key financial objectives.

 

"The transportation landscape is shifting, and customer demand for cleaner, smarter, and more sustainable solutions continues to accelerate," added Sceli. "We're seeing renewed attention on CNG and LNG fuelled platforms and Westport is uniquely positioned to deliver the necessary products and technologies. By leveraging our core strengths in fuel-agnostic, high-pressure fuel systems, we aim to meet growing market demand and provide our customers with reliable solutions that perform – and in many cases are more affordable than the incumbant engines."

 

During the upcoming Q2 financial results conference call, Westport will be covering additional details about the transaction and Westport's strategy ahead. We will focus on key priorities, including:

 
  • Cespira: Strategic market expansion and technology leadership in heavy-duty transportation and off road high horse power mobility
  •  
  • High Pressure Controls and Systems: Complementing the energy transition with versatile solutions that support multiple powertrain platforms
  •  
  • Westport Financial Initiatives: Balancing opportunity scale, execution performance, and dynamic market conditions
  •  

Westport's key focus going forward recognizes both the opportunities and headwinds in overall market conditions. We have initiated a comprehensive internal process to review additional ways to maximize our economic benefit from this recent transaction for our stakeholders. We look forward to providing additional insight and updates when we report Q2 2025 results on Monday, August 11, 2025, after market close.

5 Best-performing Canadian Oil and Gas Stocks of 2025

Oil prices fell sharply during the second quarter, after reaching year-to-date highs early in the year.

Between January and the end of June, Brent shed 18.26 percent from US$81.69 to US$66.77. West Texas Intermediate made a similar decline falling 16.94 percent from US$78.86 to US$65.50, over the same time period.

The contraction was largely attributed to OPEC+ easing production cuts and increasing output.

Global supply was further bolstered by China’s strong import volumes and rising domestic output, giving refiners room to delay purchases and adding to a mild US inventory build, both of which added downward pressure.

Conversely, seasonal demand from the US summer driving season and solid Q2 GDP growth in China offered some support.

Despite that backdrop, the five top-performing oil and gas stocks on the TSX and TSXV have seen share price growth over Q2 2025. All year-to-date performance and share price data was obtained on July 16, 2025, using TradingView’s stock screener, and oil and gas companies with market caps above C$10 million at that time were considered.

Top 5 Canadian Mining Stocks This Week: Altima is Energetic with 98 Percent Gain

Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly look at the best-performing Canadian mining stocks on the TSX, TSXV and CSE, starting with a round-up of Canadian and US news impacting the resource sector.

Statistics Canada released June consumer price index (CPI) data on Tuesday (July 15). The report shows that year-on-year inflation gained momentum during the month, rising to 1.9 percent from 1.7 percent recorded in May.

The increase was attributed in part to the 13.4 percent year-on-year decline in gas prices seen in June, as it was a smaller drop than May’s 15.5 percent decrease caused by the removal of the consumer carbon tax.
