Westport Fuel Systems Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
From the third quarter of 2024, Westport has started reporting its results under four segments: Cespira, Light-Duty, 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 $12 million, which missed our estimate of $17.7 million but rose from $4.1 million reported in the corresponding quarter of 2024. It incurred an operating loss of $6.7 million in the second quarter of 2025, wider than the loss of $2 million reported in the corresponding quarter of 2024.
Light-Duty: Net sales of the segment totaled $76.4 million, which increased from $69.3 million in the second quarter of 2024 and beat our estimate of $68.3 million. This upside was mainly due to delayed OEM and OEM businesses.
Gross profit rose to $15.1 million (20% of revenues) from the year-ago period’s $14.7 million (21% of revenues), primarily due to an increase in sales to European customers and lower sales in developing regions.
High-Pressure Controls and Systems: Net sales of the segment totaled $2.9 million compared with $3.6 million in the year-ago period. A slowdown in hydrogen infrastructure development due to a slower adoption of hydrogen-powered solutions has resulted in a year-over-year decline. The figure, however, surpassed our estimate of $2.3 million.
In the reported quarter, gross profit fell to $0.1 million of revenues (3% of revenues) from $1.1 million (31% of revenues) in the year-ago period due to lower sales volume and increased material costs.
Heavy-Duty OEM: In the reported quarter, net sales of the segment fell to $9.6 million from $10.5 million in the year-ago quarter. The year-over-year decline resulted from the reduction in manufacturing support to Cespira. The metric, however, beat our estimate of $3.7 million. Gross profit totaled $0.7 million (7% of revenues), down from a gross profit $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2024.
