Worksport Posts Q2 2025 Results: Gross Profit Increases 173%, Revenue Jumps 83%, Margin Expands 870 bps, Operating Loss Improves 15% [QoQ].
West Seneca, New York, Aug. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Worksport Ltd. (NASDAQ: WKSP) ('Worksport' or the 'Company'), a U.S. based manufacturer and innovator of hybrid and clean energy solutions for the light truck, overlanding, and global consumer goods sectors, today announced record financial and operational results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 ('Q2 2025') and reaffirmed full-year 2025 revenue guidance of at least $20 million.
Q2 2025 Highlights
Worksport delivered its highest quarterly revenue in Company history, with net sales of $4.10 million, up 114% year-over-year and 83% sequentially. Gross margin expanded 8.7 percentage points from Q1 to 26.4%, driving a 173% increase in gross profit to $1.08 million. Operating loss improved 15% QoQ to $(3.62) million, while net loss narrowed ~16% to $(3.73) million. Operating cash use improved 19% to $(3.10) million, and total liquidity stood at ~$6.1 million. Inventory remained stable at $5.88 million, with ~90% in raw materials to support production ramp-up.
The Company achieved three consecutive monthly sales records in Q2 — April $1.22M, May $1.28M, and June $1.60M — equating to a $19.2M annualized run rate (non-GAAP). Year-to-date, Worksport has added 450+ new dealer accounts, with its network at full activation capable of generating ~$21.5M in annual repeatable revenue (excluding B2C and new dealer accounts).
Additional Operational Highlights:
Production: Q3 2025 output is expected to be notably stronger than Q2. July output averaged 115-130 units/day, peaking at 160 units/day and by late Q3 targeting ~200 units/day.
Innovation Pipeline: HD3 heavy-duty tonneau cover on track for Q3 launch; SOLIS (solar tonneau) and COR (portable power) on track for Q4 launch; AetherLux cold-climate heat pump advancing to commercial testing.
Tariff Management: Estimated 5-10% inflationary cost impact offset by operational efficiencies; the Company is evaluating additional strategies to further mitigate effects across upcoming clean-tech products.
Management Commentary
Steven Rossi, Founder & CEO of Worksport, said:
'Q2 shows our model working at scale - demand is outpacing supply, margins are expanding, and our U.S. facility continues to ramp efficiently. With three straight monthly sales records and gross margin now at 26.4%, we're executing toward operational cash-flow positivity while preparing to launch HD3, SOLIS, and COR. We believe our American-made tonneau business alone can carry Worksport to profitability in 2026, with clean-tech adding meaningful upside.'
Michael Johnston, CFO, added:
'We delivered strong sequential leverage, including gross profit up 173% with operating loss improved 15%, and we tightened operating cash use by 19%. Liquidity remains stable with approximately $6.1 million available, and our inventory profile supports growth without significant near-term working capital. We reaffirm our target of at least $20 million in revenue this year and expect gross margin to approach 30% by year-end, with operating cash-flow breakeven targeted for late Q4 2025 or early Q1 2026.'
Outlook & Guidance
2025 Revenue: Reaffirmed at ≥$20 million.
Margins: Expect continued expansion toward ~30%+ gross margin by year-end.
Cash Flow: Targeting operating cash-flow breakeven by Q4 2025 / Q1 2026.
2026 Profitability Drivers: Initial $2-3M revenue expected from first batches of COR & SOLIS; AetherLux expected to contribute meaningfully in 2026.
Capital & Liquidity:
Reg A Offering: Company expects to close the current Regulation A offering by end of August 2025; if fully subscribed ($10M), management believes Worksport is fully funded through 2025 and into 2026.
Warrants: Outstanding warrants ($4.50-$6.70 exercise ranges) may provide 2026 growth capital. While currently not in the money, the Company believes current share price is undervalued and may be better reflected as the year goes on. Per the current business plan, Worksport intends to limit notable equity dilution while pursuing disciplined growth.

1 Brilliant Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stock That Will Be Worth More Than Apple by 2030
Key Points AWS and advertising drive Amazon's growth. Apple hasn't released an innovative product or feature in some time. 10 stocks we like better than Amazon › Apple is the world's third-largest company by a wide margin, with a $1 trillion gap between it and fourth-place Alphabet . However, I think several companies are slated to pass Apple in market share over the next five years, including fifth-place Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), which is valued at around $2.4 trillion compared to Apple's $3.5 trillion. That's a wide gap to make up in five years, but looking at Amazon's growth tailwinds versus Apple's makes it fairly clear that Amazon is the much better stock pick. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Learn More » Amazon has two business units driving profit growth Apple's business is fairly straightforward; it's the leading consumer tech brand and generates significant revenue selling iPhones and other products in the Apple ecosystem. Amazon is a bit more complex, as it has the online store that most investors are familiar with, but that's not the best reason to invest in it. Although its online stores division posted the best quarter in a long time (revenue rose 11% year over year), the real stars of the show are Amazon Web Services (AWS) and its advertising services division. AWS is Amazon's cloud computing platform, and it is seeing strong demand fueled by the migration of traditional workloads to the cloud, as well as by new artificial intelligence (AI) workloads. AWS grew revenue by 17% year over year in Q2, which is strong growth considering it generated nearly $31 billion in revenue during the quarter. However, AWS's primary competitors (Microsoft 's Azure and Google Cloud) posted stronger growth rates in their corresponding quarters, so investors are worried about AWS's long-term ability to perform in this sector despite its being the market-share leader. AWS will likely continue to underperform its peers due to its size, but 17% growth is nothing to sneer at. AWS is also a large part of Amazon's profit picture. In Q2, it accounted for 53% of Amazon's operating profits despite accounting for only 18% of revenue. Analysts still expect cloud computing to grow rapidly over the next few years, and if Amazon surpasses Apple in market cap, this will be a primary reason why. Advertising services is Amazon's fastest-growing segment, with revenue rising 23% year over year, an acceleration over previous quarters' growth rate. Amazon has one of the most lucrative places to advertise on the internet, as consumers are already coming to their platform to make purchases. Paying to place a product at the top of an Amazon search almost guarantees increased sales. This is worth a lot to its advertising clients and will be a key part of Amazon's investment thesis over the next few years. Amazon's margins are rising Amazon isn't a revenue growth story; it's a profit growth story. The rise of high-margin businesses like AWS and advertising services has helped Amazon boost its profit margins over the past few years. AMZN Profit Margin data by YCharts With its two high-margin business segments growing faster than other parts of its business, Amazon will naturally have elevated profit growth rates. In Q2, Amazon's operating income rose 31% year over year. Contrast that with Apple, whose Q3 FY 2025 (ending June 28) operating income increased by 11%. Amazon's profit growth rate is much faster. Over five years, a 30% growth rate will increase its operating income by 271% while an 11% growth rate increases operating income by only 69%. That would be enough to drive Amazon's profits higher than Apple's, propelling it to surpass it in size along the way. Amazon is an excellent stock pick for the next five years and a no-brainer buy at today's prices. Should you invest $1,000 in Amazon right now? Before you buy stock in Amazon, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and Amazon wasn't one of them.

Bolivia's presidential vote headed for first-ever runoff between centrist, right-wing candidates
LA PAZ, Bolivia — Bolivians were headed for an unprecedented runoff presidential election following a vote Sunday in which a dark horse centrist, Senator Rodrigo Paz, drew more votes than the right-wing front-runners, although not enough to secure an outright victory, according to early results. Paz, a moderate who has sought to soften the edges of the opposition's push for tough austerity to rescue Bolivia from economic collapse, will face off against right-wing former President Jorge 'Tuto' Quiroga, who finished second, on Oct. 19. With over 91% of the ballots counted Sunday, Paz had received 32.8% of the votes cast. Quiroga had 26.4%. Candidates needed to surpass 50%, or 40% with a 10-point margin of victory, to avoid a runoff. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP's earlier story follows below. LA PAZ, Bolivia (AP) -- After a lackluster campaign overshadowed by a looming economic collapse, millions of Bolivians voted on Sunday for a new president and parliament in elections that could see a right-wing government elected for the first time in over two decades. The vote, which could spell the end of the Andean nation's long-dominant leftist party, is one of the most consequential for Bolivia in recent times -- and one of the most unpredictable. Ballot stations closed at 4 p.m. local time. Private exit polls, released as vote counting was still underway late Sunday, gave dark-horse centrist candidate Rodrigo Paz a surprise lead over the right-wing front-runners. In the run-up to Sunday, a remarkable 30% or so of voters remained undecided. Polls consistently showed the two leading right-wing candidates, multimillionaire business owner Samuel Doria Medina and former President Jorge Fernando 'Tuto' Quiroga, locked in a virtual dead heat. 'The economy is a disaster right now, so all I could bring myself to do was vote for change,' said Eileen Mirabal, a 30-year-old psychologist and Doria Medina supporter displaying her ink-stained thumb outside a polling station in the country's capital of La Paz. Voting is mandatory in Bolivia, where some 7.9 million Bolivians are eligible to vote. 'I have rarely, if ever, seen a situational tinderbox with as many sparks ready to ignite,' said Daniel Lansberg-Rodriguez, founding partner of New York-based Aurora Macro Strategies firm. Bolivia could follow rightward trend The election marks a watershed moment for the Movement Toward Socialism, or MAS, party, whose founder, charismatic ex-President Evo Morales, rose to power as part of the 'pink tide' of leftist leaders that swept into office across Latin America during the commodities boom of the early 2000s. Now shattered by infighting, the party is battling for its survival in Sunday's elections. The outcome will determine whether Bolivia -- a nation of 12 million people with the largest lithium reserves on Earth -- follows a growing trend in Latin America, where right-wing leaders like Argentina's libertarian Javier Milei, Ecuador's strongman Daniel Noboa and El Salvador's conservative populist Nayib Bukele have surged in popularity. A right-wing government in Bolivia could trigger a major geopolitical realignment for a country now allied with Venezuela's socialist-inspired government and world powers such as China, Russia and Iran. Bolivians bitter as they vote for the `lesser evil' Bolivians waiting to vote at polling stations across La Paz, the country's capital, expressed confused, cynical and bitter emotions -- fed by an annual inflation rate of more than 16%, a scarcity of fuel and absence of hope for swift improvement. Several said they were voting for 'el menos peor,' the lesser evil. The right-wing opposition candidates bill the race as a chance to chart a new destiny for Bolivia. But both front-runners, Doria Medina and Quiroga, have served in past neoliberal governments and ran for president three times before -- losing at least twice to Morales. 'People were waiting for a new, popular candidate, and in this, the opposition failed us,' said Ronaldo Olorio, a 50-year-old farmer from the coca-growing Yungas region and former Morales supporter. 'My vote is one of anger, of discontent. I don't like Doria Medina or Quiroga. But I have to vote for one of the two.' An election day ban on the use of all but authorized vehicles left the normally bustling streets of La Paz and neighboring El Alto deserted on Sunday, reflecting the somber mood. The government also imposed a dry law forbidding the sale of alcohol and reported arresting hundreds of violators. Right-wing contenders vow to restore U.S. relations Doria Medina and Quiroga have praised the Trump administration and vowed to restore ties with the United States -- ruptured in 2008 when Morales expelled the American ambassador. They also have expressed interest in doing business with Israel, which has no diplomatic relations with Bolivia, and called for foreign private companies to develop Bolivia's abundant natural resources. After storming to office in 2006, Morales, Bolivia's first Indigenous president, nationalized the nation's oil and gas industry, using the profits to reduce poverty, expand infrastructure and improve the lives of the rural poor. After three consecutive presidential terms, as well as a contentious bid for an unprecedented fourth in 2019 that set off popular unrest and led to his ouster, Morales has been barred from this race by Bolivia's constitutional court. His ally-turned-rival, President Luis Arce, withdrew from the race due to his plummeting popularity and nominated a senior minister, Eduardo del Castillo, to be candidate for the MAS party. Del Castillo was heckled by angry voters Sunday while casting his ballot in Bolivia's conservative business hub of Santa Cruz. 'Why don't you line up like we do for diesel?' some yelled. As the MAS party splintered, Andronico Rodriguez, the 36-year-old president of the Senate who hails from the same union of coca farmers as Morales, launched his bid. Tensions run high in Morales' stronghold Rather than back the leftist candidate once considered his heir, Morales has branded Rodriguez a traitor. From his political stronghold in Bolivia's tropical region of Chapare, Morales has urged his supporters to deface their ballots in protest over his disqualification. The long-serving leader has been holed up in Chapare for months, evading an arrest warrant on charges related to his sexual relationship with a 15-year-old girl. Authorities have been warning that violence could erupt there as Morales' fervent supporters mobilize against elections. The president of Bolivia's Supreme Electoral Tribunal, Oscar Hassenteufel, said the day passed peacefully with 'some isolated incidents that have not affected the vote.' In one of those incidents, a dynamite stick was tossed outside the polling station where Rodriguez planned to vote, said prosecutor Juan Carlos Campero. It exploded a few hours before the candidate's arrival, injuring one person, he told reporters. In another, Rodriguez was met with a barrage of bottles and rocks from Morales' supporters as he cast his ballot. The young candidate emerged unscathed, leaving without a word as the crowd shouted, 'Get out!' Nearby Morales slipped his null-and-void ballot into the box, surrounded by coca-growing union activists who formed a human chain to protect him from arrest. He flashed a rare smile as supporters showered him in white confetti. 'I'm convinced that if there's no fraud, the null vote will win,' he said after voting. Conservative candidates say austerity needed Doria Medina and Quiroga have warned of the need for a painful fiscal adjustment, including the elimination of Bolivia's food and fuel subsidies, to save the nation from insolvency. Some analysts caution this risks sparking social unrest. 'A victory for either right-wing candidate could have grave repercussions for Bolivia's Indigenous and impoverished communities,' said Kathryn Ledebur, director of the Andean Information Network, a Bolivian research group. 'Both candidates could bolster security forces and right-wing para-state groups, paving the way for violent crackdowns on protests expected to erupt over the foreign exploitation of lithium and drastic austerity measures.' If, as is widely expected, no presidential candidate receives more than 50% of the vote, or 40% of the vote with a lead of 10 percentage points, the top two candidates will compete in a runoff on Oct. 19 for the first time since Bolivia's 1982 return to democracy. All 130 seats in Bolivia's Chamber of Deputies, the lower house of Parliament, are also up for grabs, along with 36 in the Senate, the upper house. Isabel Debre, The Associated Press
