Management's Discussion and Analysis

THIRD QUARTER 2022 HIGHLIGHTS

•Total revenues decreased 4% to $71.2 million, compared to $74.3 million in the same period in 2021 primarily driven by weakening of the Euro against the U.S. dollar. Excluding foreign currency translation total revenues would have increased by 10%.

•Higher sales volumes for the independent aftermarket ("IAM") business unit in Eastern Europe, Algeria, and Peru, partially offset by lower sales volume to Russian customers.

•Revenues from OEM business unit customers were comparable to the same period 2021, including increased sales of hydrogen, electronics and fuel storage products, and offset by lower sales of CNG and LNG products due to higher natural gas prices in the European market.

•Net loss was $11.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, compared to net loss of $5.8 million for the same quarter last year. The decrease in earnings was driven by the loss of equity income from the termination and sale of the Cummins Westport Inc. ("CWI") joint venture and foreign exchange loss.

•Cash and cash equivalents were $86.5 million at the end of the third quarter 2022. Cash used in operating activities during the quarter was $8.6 million, due to operating losses of $10.9 million and debt repayment of $3.6 million, partially offset by net changes to working capital.

•Adjusted EBITDA reported was negative $4.5 million compared to negative $1.4 million for the same period in 2021.

•Announced impressive hydrogen HPDI test results from the demonstration program with Scania. Applying Westport’s HPDI technology fueled with hydrogen to Scania's 13-Litre CBE1 platform, demonstrated a peak Brake Thermal Efficiency of 51.5% complemented by 48.7% at road load conditions, with engine-out NOx similar to the base diesel engine.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Westport is a global company focused on engineering, manufacturing, and supplying alternative fuel systems and components for transportation applications. Our diverse product offerings, sold under a wide range of established global brands, enable the use of a number of alternative fuels in the transportation sector which provide environmental and/or economic advantages as compared to diesel, gasoline, batteries or fuel cell powered vehicles. The Company's fuel systems and associated components control the pressure and flow of these alternative fuels, including LPG, compressed natural gas ("CNG"), liquified natural gas ("LNG"), renewable natural gas ("RNG") or biomethane, and hydrogen. We supply our products in more than 70 countries through a network of distributors, service providers for the aftermarket and directly to OEMs and Tier 1 and Tier 2 OEM suppliers. We also provide delayed OEM (“DOEM”) offerings and engineering services to our customers and partners globally. Today, our products and services are available for passenger car and light-, medium- and heavy-duty truck and off-road applications.

Management's Discussion and Analysis

The majority of our revenues are generated through the following IAM and OEM businesses:

Independent Aftermarket We sell systems and components across a wide range of brands, primarily through a global network of distributors that consumers can purchase and have installed onto their vehicles to use LPG or CNG fuels, in addition to gasoline.
OEM Businesses
Heavy-duty OEM We sell systems and components, including HPDI 2.0 fuel system products, to engine OEMs and commercial vehicle OEMs. Our fully integrated HPDI 2.0 fuel systems, enables diesel engines using primarily natural gas fuel to match the power, torque, and fuel economy benefits found in traditional compression ignition engines, resulting in reduced greenhouse gas emissions and the capability to cost-effectively run on renewable fuels.<br><br><br><br>Our HPDI technology is in the early stage of commercialization with our initial OEM launch partner, primarily in Europe. We anticipate additional growth in the sales volumes in China, the largest market for natural gas powered commercial vehicles..
Delayed OEM We directly or indirectly convert new passenger cars for OEMs or importers, to address local market needs when a global LPG or CNG bi-fuel vehicle platform is not available directly from the OEM.
Light-duty OEM We sell systems and components to OEMs that are used to manufacture new, direct off the assembly line LPG or CNG-fueled vehicles.
Electronics We design, industrialize and assemble electronic control modules.
Hydrogen We design, develop, produce and sell hydrogen components for transportation and industrial applications. Also, we are adapting our HPDI fuel systems to use hydrogen or hydrogen/natural gas blends in internal combustion engines.
Fuel storage We manufacture LPG fuel storage solutions and supply fuel storage tanks to the aftermarket, OEM, and other market segments.

RISKS, LONG-TERM PROFITABILITY & LIQUIDITY

Global Supply Chain Challenges and Inflationary Environment

We continue to experience supply chain challenges to source semiconductors and other inputs to production due to supply shortages plaguing the automotive industry.. While demand for more climate-friendly vehicles with favorable fuel price economics is growing, the global shortage of semiconductors and raw materials is impacting automotive manufacturing and creating bottlenecks. We expect the global semiconductor supply and raw materials shortage affecting the automotive industry will continue to impact our business for the foreseeable future. Besides shortages, we are incurring inflationary pressure on production input costs from sourcing semiconductors, raw materials and parts and higher energy costs in operating our factories that are impacting margins. The prolonged supply chain disruption continues to have material impacts on production delays and end-customer demand declines. We have continued to maintain our inventory levels as at September 30, 2022, especially for electronic components including semiconductors, and a timing issue of aftermarket tenders. We are closely monitoring and making efforts to mitigate the impact of the global shortage of semiconductors, raw materials and parts on our businesses, however, we do not expect this shortage to impact our long-term growth.

Russia-Ukraine conflict

We conduct a portion of our light-duty OEM and IAM businesses in Russia by selling our products to numerous OEMs and other IAM customers. Our Russian business has been a growing and important market for gaseous fuel systems and components. Due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in late February 2022, the United States, European Union, Canada and other Western countries and organizations have announced and enacted numerous sanctions against Russia to impose severe economic pressure on the Russian economy and government. The sanctions have had a significant impact on our ability to conduct business with our Russian customers due to restrictions caused by ownership and the ability of some Russian customers to pay for goods because of banking restrictions. In addition, recent limitations and restrictions imposed on the export of Russian natural gas have had a significant impact on the price of natural gas (See "Fuel Prices" below). While the full impact of the commercial and economic consequences of the conflict are uncertain at this time, revenues generated in the Russian market were $9.6 million less in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to same period in 2021. We cannot provide

Management's Discussion and Analysis

assurance that future developments in the Russian-Ukraine conflict would not continue to have an adverse impact on the ongoing operations and financial condition of our business in Russia.

Fuel Prices

To date, there have been significant increases and continued global gaseous price fluctuations including LNG and CNG but also for liquid fuels including crude oil, diesel, and gasoline, which continue to persist given uncertainty in supply levels and European geopolitical risk due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Fuel price increases of gaseous fuels that negatively impact the price differential of gaseous fuels versus diesel and gasoline, may impact our customers' decision to adopt such gaseous fuels as a transportation energy solution in the short-term. We continue to observe softness in demand in our heavy-duty and light-duty OEM sales volumes caused by the uncertainty over the elevated prices of CNG and LNG relative to diesel and gasoline in Europe. Despite pressure on CNG and LNG prices, the LPG price differential to gasoline has continued to improve and be favourable to customer demand, which supported increased sales in our IAM business.

Long-term Profitability and Liquidity

We continue to observe high inflationary pressures, global supply chain disruptions, higher interest rates and volatile fuel prices which negatively affect customer demand going forward and have an adverse impact on our production and cost structure.

We believe that we have considered all possible impacts of known events arising from the risks discussed above related to inflation, supply chain, fuel prices, and the Russian-Ukraine conflict in the preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. However, changes in circumstances due to the aforementioned risks could affect our judgments and estimates associated with our liquidity and other critical accounting assessments.

We continue to generate operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities primarily due to the lack of scale in our heavy-duty OEM business. Despite customer interest in HPDI 2.0, sales of our HPDI 2.0 fuel systems to our OEM launch partner continue to be adversely affected by the impact of the continued volatility in natural gas prices, decreasing end-customer demand. Cash used in operating activities was $42.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Despite the successful monetization of the CWI joint venture's intellectual property and the sale of CWI in the first quarter of 2022, the loss of income from the equity interest in the former CWI business had a significant impact on our annual cash flows.

As at September 30, 2022, we had cash and cash equivalents of $86.5 million. Although we believe we have sufficient liquidity to continue as a going concern beyond November 2023, the long-term financial sustainability of the Company will depend on our ability to generate sufficient positive cash flows from all of our operations specifically through profitable, sustainable growth and on the ability to finance our long-term strategic objectives and operations. In addition to new customer announcements and entering new markets, the Company is focused on improving profitability through growth in our heavy-duty OEM business driving economies of scale and improvements in our light-duty OEM and IAM businesses, including pricing measures and manufacturing strategies driving margin expansion. If, as a result of future events, we were to determine we were no longer able to continue as a going concern, significant adjustments would be required to the carrying value of assets and liabilities in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and the adjustments could be material.

Management's Discussion and Analysis

THIRD QUARTER 2022 RESULTS

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022 decreased 4% year-over-year to $71.2 million primarily driven by the weakening of the Euro against the U.S. dollar's significant impact on the translation of the financial results to U.S. dollars, lower sales volumes to our initial OEM launch partner and contractual decrease in sales price year over year. This was partially offset by increased sales volumes in our IAM, fuel storage, hydrogen, and electronics businesses, despite lower sales volumes to the Russian market resulting from the impact of sanctions from the ongoing Russian-Ukraine conflict, and softness in demand in our light-duty OEM business in Europe from higher relative CNG fuel prices in Europe.

We reported a net loss of $11.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to net loss of $5.8 million for the same quarter last year. The decrease in earnings was driven by the loss of equity income from the termination and sale of the CWI joint venture and foreign exchange loss. The prior year quarter had an additional $4.1 million in equity income primarily from CWI. This was partially offset by higher year-over-year gross margins of $1.2 million.

We reported negative $4.5 million Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA", see "Non-GAAP Measures" section in this MD&A) during the third quarter as compared to negative $1.4 million Adjusted EBITDA for the same period in 2021.

Revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022

OEM

Revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $44.1 million and $150.2 million, respectively, compared with $48.0 million and $138.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The decrease in revenue for the three months ended was primarily driven by the 16% decrease in the average Euro rate versus the U.S. dollar for the third quarter which offset the higher sales volumes of our fuel storage, DOEM, hydrogen, and electronics businesses period over period. Our heavy-duty OEM sales volumes decreased 16% year-over-year mainly due to the unfavorable fuel price differential between LNG and diesel in Europe caused by the shortage of LNG supply.

The increase in revenue for the nine months ended was primarily driven by the additional revenues from increased sales volumes to OEMs in India of our light-duty CNG products where we continue to see strong government support and policies in place for the significant expansion of CNG vehicles, increased sales volumes of our electronics, fuel storage, hydrogen and DOEM products. This was partially offset by lower sales volumes in Western Europe for our light-duty OEM products, lower revenues year over year in our heavy-duty OEM business, and the foreign exchange impact of the depreciation of the Euro.

IAM

Revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $27.1 million and $77.5 million, respectively, compared with $26.3 million and $91.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The increase in revenue for the three months ended was primarily driven by increased sales to Eastern Europe, Algeria and Peru. This was partially offset by the aforementioned foreign exchange impact of the Euro versus U.S. dollars.

The decrease in revenue for the nine months ended was primarily driven by lower sales volumes to the Russian market due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, lower sales volumes to Eastern Europe and Egypt, and the aforementioned foreign exchange impact. The prior year included a large one-time infrastructure project of $5.3 million in Tanzania to build fueling infrastructure to enable the sale and operation of gaseous fueled vehicles.

Gross Margin for the three months ended September 30, 2022

OEM

Gross margin increased by $1.6 million to $4.7 million, or 11% of revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $3.1 million, or 6% of revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Gross margin increased for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was driven primarily by the increased sales volumes in multiple OEM businesses, improved sales mix of heavy-duty OEM's system parts, partially offset by the annual contractual price reduction year over year to our initial OEM launch partner, and decrease in gross margin in our light-duty OEM business due to increase in sales volumes to emerging markets with lower gross margins. Partially offsetting the positive growth in sales volume, we continue to incur higher production input costs from supply chain challenges and inflation in logistics, utilities and other costs, which we have only partially been able to pass on to our OEM customers.

Management's Discussion and Analysis

IAM

Gross margin decreased by $0.4 million to $6.6 million, or 24% of revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $7.0 million, or 27% of revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2021.

The decrease in gross margin and gross margin percentage was primarily driven by higher production input costs incurred in materials, transportation, and energy costs caused by the global supply chain shortage, inflation, and European energy supply shortage. The loss of higher margin sales volumes to the Russian market contributed $1.1 million to the decrease in margins.

(expressed in millions of U.S. dollars)

Total gross margin $ 11.3 16 % $ 10.1 14 % 12 %

All values are in US Dollars.

Gross Margin for the nine months ended September 30, 2022

OEM

Gross margin decreased by $0.9 million to $14.4 million, or 10% of revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $15.3 million, or 11% of revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Gross margin and gross margin percentage from our HPDI 2.0 fuel systems product will vary based on production and sales volumes, levels of development work, successful implementation of initiatives to reduce the cost input materials, and foreign exchange rates. Margin pressure is expected to continue through 2022 as production costs and contracted price discounts with the existing OEM customers are only partially offset by cost reductions of materials until higher scale is achieved. Despite headwinds from higher relative LNG fuel prices to diesel, sales volumes to our initial OEM launch partner for the nine months ended were comparable year-over-year. Higher LNG prices are decreasing the demand for LNG trucks and until LNG prices fall relative to diesel prices, we expect that HPDI 2.0 fuel system sales growth to our initial OEM launch partner slowed. Partially offsetting the decrease in gross margin includes the increased gross margins from our fuel storage, hydrogen, electronics and DOEM businesses.

IAM

Gross margin decreased by $6.3 million to $17.3 million, or 22% of revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $23.6 million, or 26% of revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The decrease in gross margin and gross margin percentage was primarily driven by lower sales volumes to higher margin Western European customers, higher production input costs incurred in materials, transportation, and energy costs caused by the global supply chain shortage, inflation, and European energy supply shortage.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses ("SG&A")

OEM

SG&A expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $6.0 million and $17.4 million, respectively, compared with $5.1 million and $14.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The increases of SG&A expenses were primarily driven by additional expenses from our fuel storage business acquired in June 2021, higher sales volumes in multiple OEM businesses, higher compensation costs and travel-related costs, partially offset by the aforementioned foreign exchange impact.

IAM

SG&A expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $2.9 million and $11.1 million, respectively, compared with $4.1 million and $13.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The decreases of SG&A expenses were primarily driven by the decrease in the average Euro rate to the U.S. dollar period over period.

Corporate

SG&A expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $3.1 million and $9.3 million, respectively, compared with $3.0 million and $9.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Management's Discussion and Analysis

Other significant expense and income items for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022

Foreign exchange gains and losses reflect net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions and net unrealized gains and losses on our net U.S. dollar denominated monetary assets and liabilities in our Canadian operations that were mainly comprised of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable. In addition, we have foreign exchange exposure on Euro denominated monetary assets and liabilities where the functional currency of the subsidiary is not the Euro. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized foreign exchange losses of $2.6 million and $6.0 million, respectively, compared to foreign exchange gains of $0.9 million and $2.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The foreign exchange losses recognized in the current quarter were primarily driven by unrealized foreign exchange losses that resulted from the translation of U.S. dollar denominated debt in our Canadian legal entities. The Canadian dollar decreased by 6% against the U.S. dollar in the third quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter. Compared to December 31, 2021, the Euro and Canadian foreign exchange rate against the U.S. dollar for September 30, 2022 has decreased by 8% and 16%, respectively. As a result, our working capital balances have shown a decrease on our balance sheet reported in U.S. dollars, despite it remaining consistent period over period in its functional currency.

Depreciation and amortization for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $2.9 million and $9.0 million, compared to $3.3 million and $10.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The amounts included in cost of revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $1.8 million and $5.7 million, respectively, compared with $2.1 million and $6.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

(expressed in millions of U.S. dollars)

Three months ended September 30, Nine months ended September 30,
2022 2021 2022 2021
Interest expense on long-term debt $ 0.6 $ 0.9 $ 1.9 $ 2.9
Royalty payable accretion expense 0.2 0.5 0.8 1.5
Total interest on long-term debt and accretion on royalty payable $ 0.8 $ 1.4 $ 2.7 $ 4.4

The decreases in interest expense on long-term debt for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the prior year period were primarily due to the final conversion of the convertible notes held by Cartesian in the third quarter of 2021. The royalty payable accretion expense has decreased as we continued to make repayments as scheduled.

Income tax expense was $1.0 million and $0.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to income tax expense of $0.3 million and recovery of $7.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in income tax expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same periods in 2021 was primarily driven by an increase in income before taxes in our subsidiary in Italy and the recognition of the tax benefits related to a step up in the tax basis of certain of our Italian assets in the prior year.

Management's Discussion and Analysis

CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS, RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Our cash and cash equivalents position decreased by $11.7 million during the third quarter of 2022 to $86.5 million from $98.2 million at June 30, 2022 and decreased by $38.4 million during the nine months of 2022 from $124.9 million at December 31, 2021. The decrease in cash during the three months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily driven by the net cash used in our operating activities, and repayment of debt.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

The Russia-Ukraine conflict, higher natural gas prices, especially in Europe, global supply chain disruptions, high inflation, and higher interest rates had a negative impact on customer demand and materially impacted our business in the nine months of 2022. As supply chain disruptions and high inflation continue to challenge the automotive industry with rising manufacturer costs causing pressure on gross margin in the near term as we respond with pricing and productivity countermeasures to manage our profitability. See the "Russia-Ukraine Conflict" and "Risk, Long-term Profitability, and Liquidity" sections in this MD&A for further discussion. These conditions continue to persist. Consequently, the duration and severity of the impact on future quarters is currently uncertain.

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, net cash flows used in operating activities were $8.6 million, a decrease of $5.8 million from net cash used of $14.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021. The decrease in cash used in operating activities was primarily driven by the net changes in working capital, specifically in inventory. We had built up inventory in the third quarter of 2021 to manage against supply chain risk against shortages of raw materials and components. Further, our inventory levels have remained consistent since the second quarter of 2022 due to lower than expected sales volumes to Russia and other markets and our growing electronics business. We continue to take actions to monetize the existing inventory and optimize our inventory levels.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, our net cash used in investing activities was $2.5 million compared to $2.1 million net cash flows for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in net cash used in investing activities compared to the prior year quarter was primarily driven by the loss of dividends received from joint ventures in 2022. In the prior year, we received dividends of $7.2 million. Partially offsetting this, we have decreased capital investments from $2.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $5.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, our net cash used in financing activities was $3.6 million compared to net cash from financing activities of $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as we pay down our debt on a quarterly basis.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements. We have identified several policies as critical to our business operations and in understanding our results of operations. These policies, which require the use of judgment, estimates and assumptions in determining their reported amounts, include the assessment of liquidity and going concern, warranty liability, revenue recognition, inventories and property, plant and equipment. The application of these and other accounting policies are described in note 3 of our annual consolidated financial statements and our MD&A, for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed on March 14, 2022. Actual amounts may vary significantly from estimates used. There have been no significant changes in accounting policies applied to the September 30, 2022 unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and we do not expect to adopt any significant changes at this time.

We believe that we have taken into account all the possible impacts of known events arising from the COVID-19 pandemic in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. However, changes in circumstances due to the COVID-19 pandemic could impact our judgments and estimates associated with our liquidity and going concern assessment, and other critical accounting assessments.

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES AND INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

As discussed in the annual MD&A, we limited the scope of the design of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting evaluation to exclude Stako for 2021. While we believe the existing controls in place at Stako are sufficient to detect and prevent a material misstatement, we are in the process of implementing new controls and improving existing controls at Stako to conform with the operating controls in other subsidiaries.

Management's Discussion and Analysis

SUMMARY OF QUARTERLY RESULTS

Our revenues and operating results can vary significantly from quarter to quarter depending on the timing of product deliveries, product mix, product launch dates, research and development project cycles, timing of related government funding, gain or loss from acquisitions, impairment charges, restructuring charges, stock-based compensation awards and foreign exchange impacts. Net income (loss) has and can vary significantly from one quarter to another depending on operating results, gains and losses from investing activities, recognition of tax benefits and other similar events.

Management's Discussion and Analysis

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

In addition to the results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we used EBIT, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, gross margin, gross margin as a percentage of revenue, net working capital, and non-current liabilities (collectively, the “Non-GAAP Measures") throughout this MD&A. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide additional information that is useful to stakeholders in understanding our underlying performance and trends through the same financial measures employed by our management. We believe that EBIT, EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA are useful to both management and investors in their analysis of our ability to generate liquidity by producing operating cash flow to fund working capital needs, service debt obligations and fund capital expenditures. Management also uses these non-GAAP measures in its review and evaluation of the financial performance of Westport. EBITDA is also frequently used by stakeholders for valuation purposes whereby EBITDA is multiplied by a factor or "EBITDA multiple" that is based on an observed or inferred relationship between EBITDA and market values to determine the approximate total enterprise value of a company. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures also provide additional insight to stakeholders as supplemental information to our U.S. GAAP results and as a basis to compare our financial performance period-over-period and to compare our financial performance with that of other companies. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate comparisons of our core operating results from period to period and to other companies by, in the case of EBITDA, removing the effects of our capital structure (net interest income on cash deposits, interest expense on outstanding debt and debt facilities), asset base (depreciation and amortization) and tax consequences. Adjusted EBITDA provides this same indicator of Westport's EBITDA from operations and removing such effects of our capital structure, asset base and tax consequences, but additionally excludes any unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses, stock-based compensation charges and other one-time impairments and costs which are not expected to be repeated in order to provide greater insight into the cash flow being produced from our operating business, without the influence of extraneous events. Readers should be aware that non-GAAP measures have no standardized meaning under U.S. GAAP and accordingly may not be comparable to the calculation of similar measures by other companies. Non-GAAP measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

  1.      Company organization and operations:
    

Westport Fuel Systems Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) on March 20, 1995. Westport Fuel Systems is a global company focused on engineering, manufacturing, and supplying alternative fuel systems and components for transportation applications. The Company’s diverse product offerings sold under a wide range of established global brands enable the use of a number of alternative fuels in the transportation sector which provide environmental and/or economic advantages as compared to diesel, gasoline, batteries or fuel cell powered vehicles. The Company's fuel systems and associated components control the pressure and flow of these alternative fuels, including liquid petroleum gas ("LPG"), compressed natural gas ("CNG"), liquified natural gas ("LNG"), renewable natural gas ("RNG") or biomethane, and hydrogen. The Company supplies its products in more than 70 countries through a network of distributors, service providers for the aftermarket and directly to original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and Tier 1 and Tier 2 OEM suppliers. The Company’s products and services are available for passenger car and light-, medium- and heavy-duty truck and off-road applications.

  1.      Liquidity,  global supply chain challenges and inflationary environment:
    

The Company is closely monitoring and making efforts to mitigate the impact on the business from global supply chain shortages of semiconductors, raw materials and other parts. Besides shortages, the Company is incurring inflationary pressure on production input costs from sourcing semiconductors, raw materials, and parts, and higher energy costs in operating the Company's factories that are impacting margins. Like other automotive manufacturers or suppliers, the Company sources components globally and has been impacted along with its customers by global supply chain disruptions and inflation.

The Company believes that it has considered all possible impacts of known events arising from inflation and supply chain disruptions in the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements ("interim financial statements"); however, changes in circumstances due to COVID-19 could impact management's judgments and estimates associated with the liquidity and going concern assessment, and other critical accounting assessments.

The Company continues to sustain operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities. As at September 30, 2022, the Company has cash and cash equivalents of $86,501 and used cash in operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2022 of $8,591 primarily driven by the operating losses of $10,923 and the net changes in working capital. The ability to continue as a going concern beyond November 2023 will depend on the Company's ability to generate sufficient positive cash flows from all its operations, specifically through profitable, sustainable growth, and on the Company's ability to finance its long-term strategic objectives and operations.

  1.      Basis of preparation:
    

(a)    Basis of presentation:

These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

These interim financial statements do not include all note disclosures required on an annual basis, and therefore, should be read in conjunction with the annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the appropriate securities regulatory authorities. The Company followed the same policies and procedures as in the annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which include reclassifications and normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the condensed consolidated interim balance sheets, condensed consolidated interim results of operations and comprehensive income and loss, condensed consolidated interim statements of shareholders' equity and condensed consolidated interim cash flows as at September 30, 2022 and for all periods presented, have been recorded. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the Company's full year.

(b)    Foreign currency translation:

The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar and its reporting currency for its consolidated financial statement presentation is the United States Dollar (“U.S. Dollar”). The functional currencies for the Company's subsidiaries include the following: U.S. Dollar, Canadian dollar, Euro, Argentina Peso, Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”), Swedish Krona, Indian Rupee, and Polish Zloty. The Company translates assets and liabilities of non-U.S. dollar functional currency operations using the period end exchange rates, shareholders’ equity balances using the weighted average of historical exchange rates, and revenues and expenses using the monthly average rate for the period, with the resulting exchange differences recognized in other comprehensive income.

Transactions that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies of the Company’s or its subsidiaries' operations are translated at the rates in effect on the date of the transaction. Foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated to the applicable functional currency at the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the historical exchange rate. All foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in the statement of operations, except for the translation gains and losses arising from available-for-sale instruments, which are recorded through other comprehensive income until realized through disposal or impairment.

Except as otherwise noted, all amounts in these interim financial statements are presented in thousands of U.S. dollars. For the periods presented, the Company used the following exchange rates:

In consideration for the funds provided to the Company, Cartesian is entitled to royalty payments based on the greater of (i) a percentage of amounts received by the Company on select HPDI systems and CWI joint venture income through 2025 and (ii) stated fixed amounts per annum (subject to adjustment for asset sales). The carrying value is being accreted to the expected redemption value using the effective interest method, which is approximately 23% per annum. Pursuant to the sale of CWI, amounts due to Cartesian are solely secured by an interest in the Company's HPDI 2.0 fuel systems intellectual property.

In January 2017, the Company and Cartesian signed a Consent Agreement which allows the Company to sell certain assets in exchange for prepayment of the Cartesian royalty. Cartesian was paid 15% of the net proceeds from these asset sales to a maximum of $15,000, with this payment being allocated on a non-discounted basis to future years' minimum payments.

As at September 30, 2022, the total royalty prepayments paid to Cartesian as a result of the Consent Agreement was $11,912.

The repayments including interest are as follows, for the twelve months ended September 30:

2023 1,320
2024 1,848
2025 2,270

The Company issues shares from treasury to satisfy share unit exercises.

(a)    Share Units (“Units”):

The value assigned to issued Units and the amounts accrued are recorded as other equity instruments. As Units are exercised or vest and the underlying shares are issued from treasury of the Company, the value is reclassified to share capital.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized $807 and $2,202, respectively (three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 - $629 and $1,252, respectively) of stock-based compensation associated with the Westport Omnibus Plan.

  1.      Share capital, stock options and other stock-based plans \(continued\):
    

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, 2,541,098 share units were granted to certain employees and directors (2021 - 814,617). This included 1,319,700 restricted share units (“RSUs”) (2021 - 814,617) and 1,221,398 performance share units (“PSUs”) (2021 - nil). Values of RSU awards are generally determined based on the fair market value of the underlying common shares on the date of grant. RSUs typically vest over a three-year period so the actual value received by the individual depends on the share price on the day such RSUs are settled for common shares, not the date of grant. PSU awards do not have a certain number of common shares that will issue over time, but are based on future performance and other conditions tied to the payout of the PSU.

As at September 30, 2022, $4,688 of compensation cost related to Units awarded has yet to be recognized in results from operations and will be recognized ratably over two years.

  1.      Commitments and contingencies:
    

(a)    Contractual commitments

The Company is a party to a variety of agreements in the ordinary course of business under which it is obligated to indemnify a third party with respect to certain matters. Typically, these obligations arise as a result of contracts for sale of the Company’s product to customers where the Company provides indemnification against losses arising from matters such as product liabilities. The potential impact on the Company’s financial results is not subject to reasonable estimation because considerable uncertainty exists as to whether claims will be made and the final outcome of potential claims. To date, the Company has not incurred significant costs related to these types of indemnifications.

(b)     Contingencies

The Company is engaged in certain legal actions and tax audits in the ordinary course of business and believes that, based on the information currently available, the ultimate outcome of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our operating results, liquidity or financial position.

Minda Westport Technologies Limited is the most significant of the investments and is accounted for using the equity method. WWI and other investments are accounted for at fair value.

The carrying values reported in the consolidated balance sheet for obligations under capital and operating leases, which are based upon discounted cash flows, approximate their fair values.

The carrying values of the term loan facilities, and other bank financing included in the long-term debt (note 12) do not materially differ from their fair value as at September 30, 2022.

  1.      Financial Instruments \(continued\):
    

The Company categorizes its fair value measurements for items measured at fair value on a recurring basis into three categories as follows:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine fair value and classify such items in Level 1.  When necessary, Level 2 valuations are performed based on quoted market prices for similar instruments in active markets and/or model–derived valuations with inputs that are observable in active markets.  Level 3 valuations are undertaken in the absence of reliable Level 1 or Level 2 information.

As at September 30, 2022, cash and cash equivalents are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are included in Level 1.
