Westport Fuel Systems Inc. (WPRT) - Ansoff Matrix: Market Penetration

You're looking at how Westport Fuel Systems Inc. can drive more sales from its current product lines in established markets. This is about deepening the relationship with existing customers and maximizing the penetration of proven technology.

Secure full commercialization with the second OEM that placed a trial order. While specific details on the second OEM trial order reaching full commercialization aren't public, the momentum in the heavy-duty segment is clear. Cespira, the joint venture with Volvo Group, generated $19.3 million in revenue in the third quarter of 2025, marking a 19% increase year-over-year, which shows strong customer acceptance of the HPDI system in that base. The overall HPDI technology is already operating in more than 9,000 trucks worldwide. This existing deployment base is the immediate target for expanding the current offering.

Increase HPDI system adoption within the existing Volvo Group (Cespira) heavy-duty customer base. The focus here is scaling volume with the established partner. Cespira's Q3 2025 revenue of $19.3 million reflects increased volumes compared to Q3 2024, indicating successful initial adoption within the Volvo ecosystem. The company is working to ensure Cespira achieves positive margins, as its Q3 2025 gross profit was negative $1.1 million, showing that higher volumes are needed to cover fixed costs on a per-unit basis for the systems sold.

Expand high-margin aftermarket service and parts sales for the 9,000 HPDI trucks currently deployed. Aftermarket sales growth is a key driver for margin improvement, which is critical for overall financial health. Westport Fuel Systems Inc. reported a stronger consolidated gross margin of 31% in Q3 2025, up significantly from 14% in Q3 2024, which was explicitly driven by higher margin engineering services revenue and easing supply chain constraints supporting aftermarket sales. Targeting the installed base of over 9,000 trucks with parts and service is a direct path to capturing this higher-margin revenue stream.

Intensify sales efforts for High-Pressure Controls in China, which already accounts for over 50% of that segment's revenue. The High-Pressure Controls & Systems segment is heavily reliant on the Chinese market for its hydrogen components. In Q2 2025, over 50% of this segment's revenue came from China. However, the segment's revenue fell from $3.6 million in Q2 2024 to $2.9 million in Q2 2025 due to a global hydrogen market slowdown. Intensified efforts will need to counteract this slowdown, perhaps by leveraging the planned hydrogen innovation and manufacturing centre opening in China in late 2025.

Use the improved 31% Q3 2025 gross margin to fund targeted sales incentives. The financial foundation is showing improvement, which frees up capital for market-facing actions. The gross margin hit 31% in Q3 2025, a substantial jump from 14% in Q3 2024. This improved profitability, alongside the balance sheet strengthening from the Light-Duty divestiture (ending Q3 2025 with $33.1 million in cash and less than $4 million in debt), provides the flexibility to deploy capital for incentives aimed at accelerating sales in core segments.

Here's a quick look at the key operational metrics supporting this market penetration strategy:

The immediate actions for market penetration are focused on capitalizing on existing relationships and technology deployment:

• Finalize commercial agreements with the second OEM partner.
• Drive higher volume through the Cespira joint venture.
• Increase service attachment rates on the 9,000 HPDI units.
• Deploy capital from the 31% gross margin for sales support.
• Maintain focus on the China HPCS market despite recent revenue dips.

What this estimate hides is the exact dollar amount allocated for sales incentives, but the improved margin provides the financial capacity. Finance: draft the Q4 2025 budget allocation for sales incentives by next Tuesday.

Westport Fuel Systems Inc. (WPRT) - Ansoff Matrix: Market Development

You're looking at how Westport Fuel Systems Inc. (WPRT) plans to take its existing core technologies, like HPDI, into new markets or expand their reach significantly in current ones. This is Market Development in action, and the recent financial moves definitely set the stage for it.

Roll out the HPDI fuel system technology aggressively in the North American heavy-duty market.

The focus here is shifting the HPDI offering to better suit the North American infrastructure, which leans heavily on Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) over the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) that has seen commercial success elsewhere. Westport announced a breakthrough proprietary CNG solution designed to combine with the on-engine HPDI system from Cespira, the joint venture with Volvo Group. This is a direct play for the North American heavy-duty segment, where you believe CNG offers better economics than LNG. The existing LNG HPDI technology is already operating in more than 30 countries, powering over 9,000 trucks worldwide, so the technology base is proven. The new CNG platform aims for faster time-to-market for these applications. Field testing for this new CNG solution is slated to begin in 2026. This push is happening as the global heavy-duty truck market is projected to reach 1.95 million units in 2025, with some estimates putting the number of new trucks at almost 2 million for the year. You need to see how quickly this CNG-HPDI combination moves from testing to commercial availability to capture that market momentum.

Target emerging regions like India and South America for HPDI truck adoption via new OEM partnerships.

While the immediate North American play is on CNG, the existing HPDI platform is already global. The Cespira joint venture is the vehicle for this expansion. Just recently, on October 14, 2025, Cespira signed an agreement with a leading OEM and received full payment to supply several hundred sets of a key HPDI component for a customer truck trial. This trial is designed to assess market interest and viability in select heavy-duty trucking markets, which could form the basis for future commercialization with that OEM. While specific numbers for new OEM partnerships in India or South America aren't public, the fact that Westport has operations in Asia, Europe, North America, and South America, and has historically served customers in more than 70 countries, shows the infrastructure is there to support expansion into these emerging regions once the right OEM alignment is secured. The success of this recent trial component delivery is a key indicator for future global adoption.

Leverage the strengthened balance sheet and $33.1 million in Q3 2025 cash for strategic market entry.

The recent divestiture of the Light-Duty segment provided the necessary financial firepower for these aggressive market development moves. As of September 30, 2025, Westport Fuel Systems Inc. ended the quarter with $33.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, a significant increase from $14.8 million at the end of 2024. Furthermore, the company has less than $4 million in debt remaining. This strengthened balance sheet, funded in part by the $26.0 million received from the Light-Duty segment sale in Q3 2025, provides the liquidity to fund growth through new system and market expansions. You need to watch how this cash is deployed, especially considering the Cespira joint venture received $11.0 million in capital contributions during the same quarter. The goal is to use this liquidity to aggressively pursue the North American CNG opportunity and secure further global OEM commitments.

Establish new distribution channels for High-Pressure Controls in industrial and off-road applications globally.

The High-Pressure Controls & Systems segment is being repositioned to better serve industrial and off-road needs, which are less tied to the heavy-duty truck cycle and are seen as complementary to the HPDI focus. This segment generated revenue of $1.6 million in Q3 2025, down slightly from $1.8 million in Q3 2024. To improve its channel efficiency and proximity to customers, Westport is actively moving production lines for these High-Pressure Controls from Italy to facilities in Canada and China, with new facilities expected online by year-end. This physical shift is a direct action to establish better distribution and supply chain channels for these components globally, leveraging expertise in high-pressure technology for applications that can utilize natural gas today and hydrogen in the future. The segment's gross profit was $0.5 million on $1.6 million in revenue for the quarter, representing a gross margin of about 31%, driven by higher-margin engineering services revenue.

Here's a quick look at the key segment performance that underpins the strategy:

You should track the progress of the High-Pressure Controls facility move closely; if the new sites in Canada and China are online by year-end as planned, it should stabilize and hopefully grow that $1.6 million revenue base in 2026.

• The LNG HPDI technology powers over 9,000 trucks globally.
• The new CNG HPDI field testing is scheduled to start in 2026.
• The recent OEM trial component order involved several hundred sets.
• Gross margin for the consolidated company improved to 31% in Q3 2025 from 14% in Q3 2024.

Westport Fuel Systems Inc. (WPRT) - Ansoff Matrix: Product Development

You're hiring before product-market fit, so every development dollar needs to count. Westport Fuel Systems Inc. (WPRT) is clearly pivoting its product development to focus on high-impact commercial and industrial applications following the strategic realignment.

Launch the new CNG solution for natural gas HPDI engines specifically for the North American market.

Westport Fuel Systems Inc. announced a breakthrough compressed natural gas (CNG) solution when paired with the High-Pressure Direct Injection (HPDI) fuel system from Cespira, the joint venture with Volvo Group. This is designed to expand the addressable market for HPDI by offering an affordable alternative to diesel in North America, where CNG is a dominant choice for fleets. The company is already showcasing the technology's real-world performance in an engineering truck operating in Vancouver, Canada. Field testing for this new CNG solution is scheduled to begin in the year 2026, with commercialization expected to follow that. This move capitalizes on the existing strength of natural gas in the region.

Develop enhanced HPDI systems optimized for renewable natural gas (RNG) to meet fleet decarbonization mandates.

The new HPDI platform is engineered to be fuel-agnostic, specifically optimizing for renewable natural gas (RNG) and blends including hydrogen. This directly addresses fleet decarbonization mandates, as the use of RNG in transportation has seen significant growth, increasing by 93% over the past five years. Westport Fuel Systems Inc. is positioning its technology to leverage this trend, ensuring diesel-like performance with reduced lifecycle costs. The High-Pressure Controls & Systems business is also focused on delivering OEMs critical components for these fuel-agnostic platforms.

The strategic focus areas guiding this product development are clear:

• Driving success through Cespira, the HPDI joint venture.
• Advancing High Pressure Controls & Systems for fuel-agnostic platforms.
• Scaling production of RNG systems and CNG components.

Invest a portion of the $60 million Light-Duty divestiture proceeds into next-generation fuel-agnostic components.

The successful divestiture of the Light-Duty segment on July 29, 2025, provided net proceeds of $62.5 million, which strengthens the balance sheet and provides flexibility to invest in innovation. This capital is earmarked to support the core strategy centered on heavy-duty and industrial applications. The company ended the third quarter of 2025 with $33.1 million in cash and cash equivalents, up from $14.8 million at December 31, 2024, partly due to the $26.0 million cash received from the divestiture in Q3 2025. The net loss from continuing operations for Q3 2025 was $10.4 million. Anyway, the gross margin improved to 31% in Q3 2025 from 14% in Q3 2024, showing early benefits from the disciplined approach. Here's the quick math on the cash position change from the divestiture proceeds:

Accelerate R&D on HPDI to ensure compliance with the upcoming stringent EU7 emissions standards in Europe.

Westport Fuel Systems Inc. is concentrating on its core heavy-duty and alternative fuel systems, which includes Cespira's HPDI technology, a key offering in Europe where Volvo has noted rising adoption. While the search results confirm the focus on decarbonization and the importance of the European market, there are no specific 2025 financial figures detailing the exact R&D spend acceleration dedicated solely to meeting the upcoming EU7 emissions standards. The general strategy is to provide solutions that reduce or eliminate Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions, positioning the company for success in regulated markets like Europe. The company's overall revenue from continuing operations in Q3 2025 was $1.6 million, compared to $4.9 million in the same quarter last year, reflecting the planned exit from the Heavy-Duty OEM transitional service agreement with Cespira at the end of Q2 2025. The High-Pressure Controls & Systems segment revenue was $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025.

Finance: draft 13-week cash view by Friday.

Westport Fuel Systems Inc. (WPRT) - Ansoff Matrix: Diversification

The strategic pivot following the Light-Duty segment divestiture on July 29, 2025, provides the capital base to pursue diversification into new markets and technologies. The base purchase price for the Light-Duty segment was approximately $79.5 million, resulting in net proceeds of $62.5 million, which immediately allowed Westport Fuel Systems Inc. to reduce outstanding debt by approximately $24.3 million.

Expand High-Pressure Controls business into non-transportation sectors like stationary power generation or marine.

The High-Pressure Controls & Systems segment is the vehicle for this non-transportation expansion. For the three months ended September 30, 2025, this segment generated revenue of $1.6 million, down from $1.8 million in the same period of 2024, partly due to plant relocation costs. This segment supplies critical components for fuel-agnostic platforms, which is the core competency to be leveraged outside of traditional transport.

Accelerate pure hydrogen component development, leveraging the new China innovation center for local market solutions.

Westport Fuel Systems Inc. is anchoring its hydrogen component strategy in China, planning the launch of a hydrogen innovation and manufacturing hub in late 2025. This focus is significant because, as of the second quarter of 2025, over 50% of the High-Pressure Controls & Systems revenue was already derived from China, almost entirely from hydrogen components. The new facility is intended to better serve local customers and partners in one of the world's largest economies for hydrogen adoption.

The financial focus has clearly shifted from the divested segment to core technologies, as shown by the comparison of continuing operations revenue versus the Cespira joint venture sales volume:

Pursue select strategic acquisitions to gain immediate access to new industrial fuel system technologies or markets.

The capital injection from the Light-Duty divestiture is explicitly intended to fund select strategic acquisitions. The goal is to gain immediate access to technologies or markets that align with the sharpened focus on heavy-duty and industrial applications. The company is looking to enhance capabilities or expand presence in prioritized industrial markets.

Partner with energy companies to co-develop integrated fuel storage and delivery systems for new industrial applications.

The remaining assets, post-divestiture, create the potential for fuel agnostic high-pressure storage solutions. This capability is positioned to complement the growth aspirations of the HPDI technology within the Cespira joint venture. The strategy involves leveraging core competencies in high-pressure fuel systems to meet growing market demand for reliable, cleaner solutions in industrial sectors.

• The divestiture provided $62.5 million in net proceeds to fund growth initiatives.
• The company reduced debt by approximately $24.3 million following the July 29, 2025, close.
• The High-Pressure Controls & Systems segment gross margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was 17% of revenue.
• The company is aligning its cost structure to be more reflective of a smaller, more efficient organization.
