Ballard Power Systems logged a narrowed loss in the fourth quarter as rail performance drove revenue growth.
The fuel-cell technology company on Thursday posted a net loss from continuing operations of $17.5 million, or 6 cents a share, compared with a loss of $46.5 million, or 16 cents a share, in the comparable quarter a year earlier.
Adjusted loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization from continuing operations was $11.6 million, compared with $36 million a year earlier. Analysts on FactSet expected the figure to reflect a loss of $23.4 million.
Total revenue rose 37% to $33.6 million, ahead of the $32.6 million expected by analysts.
Heavy-duty mobility revenue rose 70% in the quarter to $28.6 million, driven primarily by a jump in rail revenue.
Stationary revenue fell by more than half to $3.2 million.
Order backlog at the end of 2025 was $119.3 million.
Looking ahead to 2026, Ballard expects total operating expenses in a range of $65 million to $75 million, and capital expenditures of $5 million to $10 million.
