"In my first 100 days, I have worked to determine what needs to be done, identified areas for improvement and begun implementing our three strategic pillars to: harness the potential of our HPDI joint venture to drive success, enhance operational excellence, and focus on Westport's ability to shape the world's hydrogen-powered future. Our success will be determined over the near-, medium- and long-term, respectively. True change will take time.

Despite revenue temporarily falling short of our expectations in the first quarter, we've initiated cost-saving measures and have demonstrated a marked improvement in our cash from operations. Recognizing the significant tasks that lie ahead, we remain steadfastly dedicated to our priorities for 2024. Through strategic headcount reductions across the organization, we are aggressively streamlining our workforce to bolster operational agility.



Our cost reduction measures also focus on initiating changes to our production lines to optimize manufacturing cost reductions and increase efficiency. These actions are not only enhancing our overall efficiency but also fostering a culture of accountability and collaboration. In our pursuit of profitability, cost cutting is not merely a priority-it is an imperative.

We recognize that sustainable growth hinges on our ability to tightly manage expenses. Therefore, while we are committed to driving top-line growth and operational efficiencies, our foremost focus remains on reducing costs at every opp.
