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.

Top 10 Countries for Natural Gas Production

Natural gas is an important energy fuel, even as the world transitions to a carbon-free economy. When investing in this industry, it's key to know the ins and outs of natural gas production by country.

Global natural gas production edged up 1.2 percent in 2024 to reach 4.12 trillion cubic meters, led by the United States, Russia, Iran and China, which together supplied more than half the world’s natural gas production, according to data from the Energy Institute.

European production extended its long-term decline, weighed down by lower volumes from Norway, the UK and the Netherlands.

Coelacanth Energy President and CEO Rob Zakresky.

Coelacanth Energy CEO Targets 50,000 BOE/Day as Montney Resource Expands

Coelacanth Energy (TSXV:CEI) is targeting an eventual production ramp up to 50,000 barrels of oil equivalent (boe) per day as more zones at its Montney oil and gas project in BC, Canada, continue to be de-risked, according to the company’s president and CEO, Rob Zakresky

“So the de-risking of the top two zones allows us to, what we predict, go to 50,000 boe per day, and then hold that flat for a long period of time. What we need to do now is take the other zones and apply more work and more capital to those … And as we see the 500 locations today, that may expand over a period of time and change how we develop the asset.”

In the near term, Zakresky said the company has several wells ready for production, following the recent completion of a production facility, allowing a systematic ramp up to about 7,000 to 8,000 boe per day by October. He noted that future growth to 16,000 boe per day over the next couple of years would depend largely on commodity prices and available capital.
