BUSINESS OVERVIEW

 

We are a leading provider of high-performance, low-emission engine and fuel system technologies utilizing gaseous fuels. Our technology and products enable light- (less than 5.9 litre), medium- (5.9 to 10 litre), heavy-duty- (10 to 16 litre) and high-horsepower- (greater than 16 litre) petroleum-based fuel engines and vehicles to use primarily natural gas, giving users a cleaner and generally less expensive alternative fuel based on a more abundant natural resource. Through our partnerships and direct sales efforts, we sell natural gas and propane engines, fuel systems, and components to customers in more than 79 countries. We currently have strategic relationships with three of the world's top four engine producers and supply or have strategic relationships with six of the world's top ten truck producers, as well as seven of the world's top ten automotive manufacturers. Our strategic relationships with OEMs provide us with access to their manufacturing capacity, supply chain and global distribution networks without incurring the considerable investment associated with these assets. We commercialize our technology in markets where demand for clean, low emission engines is prevalent.

 

Since our founding in 1995, we have invested over $700 million towards the research, development and commercialization of our proprietary technologies and related products. Conversely, our research and development efforts and investments have resulted in a substantial patent portfolio that serves as the foundation for our differentiated technology offerings and competitive advantage. Our technologies and related products enable combustion engines to use gaseous fuels, such as natural gas, propane, renewable natural gas (“RNG”) or hydrogen. The substitution of natural gas for petroleum-based fuel drives a reduction in harmful combustion emissions, such as particulate matter and greenhouse gases, in addition to providing a relatively inexpensive alternative fuel from a more plentiful natural resource.

The principle focus of the operating business units are summarized below:

 

Operating Business Units

 

Westport Operations:

 

During the first quarter of 2015, Westport realigned the structure of the Company's internal organization. The change was previously discussed in Westport’s fourth quarter news release dated March 9, 2015. The realignment combines, our historical operating segments, Westport Applied Technologies, Westport On-Road Systems and Westport Off-Road Systems into a single operating segment, Westport Operations. This change reflects the manner in which operating decisions and assessing business performance is currently managed by the Chief Operating Decision Makers (the CEO and the COO “CODMs”). As Westport narrows its focus within certain business units, including its investments in joint ventures, and defers certain products and related programs, the CODMs manage the combined businesses as a whole. Therefore, the Westport Operations segment provides more meaningful information to users of Westport’s financial statements.   Prior-period amounts have been adjusted retrospectively to reflect these operating segment changes.

 

Westport Operations designs, manufactures and sells compressed natural gas ("CNG"), liquefied natural gas ("LNG"), and liquefied petroleum gas ("LPG") components and systems to over 20 global OEMs, including Fiat, Volkswagen, Tata Motors, the GAZ Group, Chrysler, General Motors, Ford Motor Company ("Ford"), PACCAR Inc., Volvo Car Group, Hyundai and Kia and to aftermarket customers in over 79 countries. Sales from Westport's wholly-owned Italian subsidiaries, OMVL S.p.A. ("OMVL") and Emer S.p.A ("EMER"), including Emer's wholly-owned subsidiary Valtek S.p.A., Westport's Australian operations, and, recently acquired Netherlands based Prins Autogassystemen Holding B.V. ("Prins") are made either directly to OEMs or through one of their many global distributors. Westport Operations has a strong customer base in Europe and North America and is growing in Asia, South America, and Africa.

 

Westport supports customers with vehicle conversions through the Ford Qualified Vehicle Modifier ("QVM") program with products in the Ford line, including transit, cargo shuttle and taxi vehicles.  Sold under the Westport WiNG™ Power System brand, product offerings include the Ford Transit Van dedicated, F-250/F-350 bi-fuel (CNG and gasoline) and dedicated, F-450 to F-650, F-59 dedicated, E-450 dedicated and Transit Connect bi-fuel vehicle models.  Westport also provides aftermarket conversion products, alternative fuel systems and application engineering.

 

Other products include Volvo Car bi-fuel systems (CNG and gasoline) for the V60 and V70 bi-fuel wagon; Westport JumpStartTM mobile fuel services; Westport iCE PACKTM for spark-ignited ("SI") engines, LNG tender products for the rail market and WestportTM     industrial engines sold to Clark Material Handling and Cummins Western Canada for forklift and oilfield applications.

 

Corporate and Technology Investments Business Unit

The Corporate and Technology Investments business unit ("Corporate and Technology Investments") is responsible for investments in new research and development programs and revenues and expenses related to development programs with OEMs, corporate oversight and general administrative duties. Corporate and Technology Investments focuses on long-term product development and future return on investments. Once a product is launched, the revenue will be recognized under Westport Operations.

Cummins Westport Inc. Joint Venture

Cummins Westport Inc. (“CWI”), our 50:50 joint venture with Cummins, Inc., (“Cummins”), serves the medium- to heavy-duty engine markets. CWI engines are offered by many OEMs for use in transit, school and shuttle buses, conventional trucks and tractors, and refuse collection trucks, as well as specialty vehicles such as short-haul port drayage trucks and street sweepers. The fuel for CWI engines is typically carried on the vehicles as CNG or LNG. CWI engines are produced at certain of Cummins' plants, allowing CWI to leverage Cummins' manufacturing footprint without incurring additional capital costs. CWI also utilizes Cummins' supply chain, back office systems and distribution and sales networks. CWI is the leading supplier of natural gas engines to the North American medium- and heavy-duty truck and transit bus industries.

 

Weichai Westport Inc. Joint Venture

Weichai Westport Inc. (“WWI”) is a joint venture between Westport (35% interest), Weichai Holding Group Co. Ltd. (40% interest) ("Weichai") and Hong Kong Peterson (CNG) Equipment Ltd. ("Hong Kong Peterson") (25% interest) focusing on the Chinese market. WWI develops, manufactures, and sells advanced, alternative fuel engines and parts that are widely used in city bus, coach, and heavy-duty truck applications in China or exported to other regions globally.

 

GENERAL DEVELOPMENTS

 

On March 11, 2015, Westport announced the introduction of its new combustion technology in Volvo Car Company's new Drive-E powertrain bi-fuel engine that will offer customers a competitive, high performance, and low emissions product at OEM standards. Volvo Cars is the first OEM to feature the new Westport system. It will be used on Volvo's new two-litre, direct injection, four-cylinder Drive-E powertrain family, which will be available on the Volvo V60 and V70 2016 models. Westport has already seen strong interest and orders for the 2016 models. The start of production and vehicle shipment is expected to be in early Q3 2015.

 

On January 8, 2015, the Company announced it received certification from the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") for its 2015 Ford Transit Van. As Ford’s largest qualified QVM, Westport is offering the 2015 Ford Transit Van as a dedicated compressed natural gas Westport WiNG™ Power System vehicle. Westport expects California Air Resources Board ("CARB") certification in early 2015.

RESULTS FROM OPERATIONS

 

Revenue

Total segments revenues for the three months ended, including 100% of CWI and WWI revenue, decreased $76.5 million, or 33% from $233.4 million in 2014 to $156.9 million in 2015.

 

The following table summarizes revenues by segment for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014:

 

   Three months ended March 31,   Change 
   2015   2014   $   % 
Westport Operations  $27.4   $38.9   $(11.5)   (30)%
Corporate and Technology Investments   0.6    1.0    (0.4)   (40)%
CWI   73.0    80.1    (7.1)   (9)%
WWI   55.9    113.4    (57.5)   (51)%
Total segment revenues  $156.9   $233.4   $(76.5)   (33)%
Less: Equity investees' revenues   128.9    193.5    (64.6)   (33)%
Total consolidated revenues  $28.0   $39.9   $(11.9)   (30)%

 

Westport Operations revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2015 decreased $11.5 million, or 30% to $27.4 million from $38.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. Westport Operations has been impacted significantly by the decline in the price of oil and the strengthening of the US dollar. Revenue from European operations, excluding recent acquisitions, increased from €14.9 million to €15.7 million. This was offset by decreases in Westport's Ford qualified vehicle modifier ("QVM") business of $5.0 million, and a further decrease of $4.6 million in revenue was driven by unfavourable impacts of foreign currency translation from the Euro to the US dollar equivalent.

 

Corporate and Technology Investments revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2015 decreased $0.4 million, or 40% from $1.0 million to $0.6 million. The decrease in revenue is driven by a reduction in the activity of development agreements. All costs associated with our development agreements were recorded as research and development expenses in the period incurred in the consolidated statement of operations.

 

CWI revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2015 decreased $7.1 million, or 9% from $80.1 million to $73.0 million. CWI product revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2015 decreased $5.5 million, or 8%, to $61.0 million on sales of 2,278 units compared to $66.5 million and 2,480 units for the three months ended March 31, 2014, which was primarily attributed to a delay for a shipment to an Asian customer. CWI parts revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2015 decreased $1.6 million to $12.0 million compared with $13.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 which was primarily attributed to changes in product mix.

 

WWI revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2015 decreased $57.5 million, or 51%, from $113.4 million to $55.9 million. WWI shipped 4,385 units in 2015 compared with 9,127 units for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Gross Margin

Total segments gross margin for the three months ended, including 100% share of CWI and WWI increased $11.5 million from $26.2 million in 2014 to $37.7 million in 2015.

 

The following table presents gross margin by segment for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014:

 

   Three months       Three months             
   ended March 31,   % of   ended March 31,   % of   Change 
   2015   Revenue   2014   Revenue   $   % 
Westport Operations  $4.8    17.5%  $11.3    29.0%  $(6.5)   (58)%
Corporate and Technology Investments   0.6    100.0%   1.0    100.0%   (0.4)   (40)%
CWI   26.6    36.4%   7.6    9.5%   19.0    250%
WWI   5.7    10.2%   6.3    5.6%   (0.6)   (10)%
Total segment gross margin  $37.7    24.0%  $26.2    11.2%  $11.5    44%
Less: Equity investees' gross margin   32.3    25.1%   13.9    7.2%   18.4    132%
Total consolidated gross margin  $5.4    19.3%  $12.3    30.8%  $(6.9)   (56)%

 

Westport Operations gross margin decreased $6.5 million to $4.8 million, or 17.5% of revenue, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to $11.3 million, or 29.0% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease in gross margin percentage is due to inventory obsolescence charges of $2.0 million. Gross margin would have been 24.9% of revenue without the obsolescence charges. Gross margin also decreased due to a change in product mix and weaknesses in most markets as a result of the continued low price of oil.

 

CWI gross margin increased $19.0 million to $26.6 million, or 36.4% of revenue, from $7.6 million or 9.5% of revenue. CWI product margin and product gross margin percentage for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were $22.5 million and 36.8%, respectively, compared to $2.7 million and 4.0%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2014. This increase in CWI gross margin percentage was due to favourable decreases of $19.4 million in net warranty adjustments and net extended coverage claims compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014. Reliability of the ISL G engine has continued to improve as a result of both hardware and calibration changes. CWI parts gross margin percentage was 34.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to 36.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease in parts gross margin is primarily due to a change in product mix.

 

WWI gross margin decreased $0.6 million to $5.7 million, or 10.2% of revenue, from 6.3 million or 5.6% of revenue. The decrease in gross margin relates to a decrease in the number of the engines sold. Gross margin as percentage of revenue increased 4.6% as a result of changes in product mix and product pricing.

Research and Development

 

The following table presents details of research and development (“R&D”) expense by segment for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to three months ended March 31, 2014:

 

   Three months ended March 31,   Change 
   2015   2014   $   % 
Westport Operations  $3.3   $6.5   $(3.2)   (49)%
Corporate and Technology Investments   10.1    14.5    (4.4)   (30)%
Total research and development  $13.4   $21.0   $(7.6)   (36)%

 

Westport Operations research and development expenses decreased $3.2 million from $6.5 million to $3.3 million driven by reduction in program expenses, decreased headcount, and favourable impacts of foreign currency translation from the Euro and the Canadian to the US dollar equivalent.

 

Corporate and Technology Investments research and development expenses decreased $4.4 million from $14.5 million to $10.1 million driven by reduction in program expenses and prioritizing of investment programs, decreased headcount and favourable impacts of foreign currency translation from the Canadian to the US dollar equivalent.

 

Selling, General and Administrative

 

The following table presents details of Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) expense by segment for the three months ended March 31, 2015 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014:

 

   Three months ended March 31,   Change 
   2015   2014   $   % 
Westport Operations  $5.4   $7.5   $(2.1)   (28)%
Corporate and Technology Investments   7.4    10.8    (3.4)   (31)%
Total selling, general and administrative  $12.8   $18.3   $(5.5)   (30)%

 

Westport Operations SG&A expenses decreased $2.1 million due to decreased headcount and favourable impacts of foreign currency translation from the Euro and the Canadian to the US dollar equivalent.

 

Corporate and Technology Investments SG&A expenses decreased $3.4 million due to decreased headcount and favourable impacts of foreign currency translation from the Canadian to the US dollar equivalent.

Foreign exchange gains and losses reflected net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions and the net unrealized gains and losses on our net U.S. dollar denominated monetary assets and liabilities in our Canadian operations that were mainly composed of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable and accounts payable. In addition, the Company has foreign exchange exposure on Euro denominated monetary assets and liabilities where the functional currency of the subsidiary is not the Euro. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we recognized a net foreign exchange gain of $2.9 million with the decline in the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar. A majority of the foreign exchange gain for the three months ended March 31, 2015 is unrealized. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recognized a net foreign exchange gain of $8.9 million with the movement in the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar.

 

Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $3.5 million compared to $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014. The decrease primarily relates to favourable impacts of foreign currency translation from the Euro and the Canadian to the US dollar equivalent.

 

Income from investments accounted for by the equity method primarily relates to our 50% interest in CWI and our 35% interest in WWI and our increase in equity income results primarily from higher revenues and gross margins for CWI in the current year compared to the prior period.

 

   Three months ended March 31, 
   2015   2014 
CWI - 50% interest (1)  $5.9   $(0.8)
WWI - 35% interest   0.3    0.5 
Other   0.1    (0.1)
Income from investment accounted for by the equity method  $6.3   $(0.4)

 

(1) During the first quarter of 2015, the Company identified adjustments in CWI's estimated 2014 financial statement results, which primarily related to warranty accrual. The identified adjustments resulted in a cumulative $1.2 million understatement of the Company’s income from investments accounted for by the equity method for the year ended December 31, 2014. The Company corrected the amounts related to CWI in the first quarter of 2015, which had the net effect of increasing income from investments accounted for by the equity method by $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The Company did not believe this adjustment was material to its consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2014 and, therefore, did not restate any prior period amounts. The Company does not believe the adjustment is material to the three months ended March 31, 2015 consolidated interim financial statements.

 

10

  

Interest on long-term debt and amortization of discount expense primarily relates to our interest expense on CDN$ and Euro denominated debentures.

 

   Three months ended March 31, 
   2015   2014 
Canadian debentures - 9% per annum  $1.0   $0.7 
Senior financing facilities   0.3    0.3 
Amortization of discount and non cash interest expense   0.2    0.1 
Total Interest on long-term debt  $1.5   $1.1 

 

Interest on long-term debt for the three months ended March 31, 2015 of $1.5 million increased compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014 due to additional interest from senior financing facilities as a result of increased long term debt as of March 31, 2015 compared to March 31, 2014.

 

Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $0.5 million compared to an income tax expense of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

 

The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2015 primarily relates to higher distributable earnings from our investment in CWI.

CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS, RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

 

As at March 31, 2015, our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investment position was $71.3 million, a decrease of $22.7 million from $94.0 million at December 31, 2014. Cash and cash equivalents consist of guaranteed investment certificates, term deposits and bankers acceptances with maturities of 90 days or less when acquired. Short-term investments consist of investment grade bankers’ acceptances, term deposits and commercial paper. We invest primarily in short-term paper issued by Schedule 1 Canadian banks, R1 high rated corporations and governments.

 

The Company has sustained net losses over the past several years and as at March 31, 2015 have an accumulated a deficit of $782.2 million. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on its available cash, its ability to find new sources of financing or raise cash through the sale of assets while in pursuit of operating profitability. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company has taken immediate actions to right-size the business structure and reduce expenses through activities including staff reductions and deferral of non-core development programs.  As a result of these actions research and development, sales and general and administrative expenses have decreased $13.0 million from $39.3 million recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2014 to $26.3 million recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2015. Management believes these factors will contribute toward achieving profitability, though further expense reductions may be required. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving its objectives. Management believes that the cash balances available as of March 31, 2015, combined with cost cutting measures in place and its ability to find new sources of financing or raise cash through the sale of assets subsequent to the balance sheet date, provides sufficient funds for the Company to meet its obligations beyond the next 12 months. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

  

Our plan is to use our current cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, our share of CWI dividends (typically declared and paid quarterly) and borrowings under our credit facility to fund our committed milestones and obligations for our current programs. We will also continue to seek third party and government funding on commercially acceptable terms to offset costs of our investments; however, there are no guarantees that we will be successful in obtaining third party funding on acceptable terms or at all.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, our cash used in operations was $22.5 million. Changes in non-cash working capital resulted in a use of $6.0 million. The $6.0 million change in working capital was impacted by a decrease in accounts receivable of $2.2 million as a result of increased rates of collection, offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $5.3 million. Cash used in investing activities included the purchase of fixed assets of $1.0 million, offset by $7.0 million in dividends received from joint ventures. Cash used in financing activities included principal payments of long term debt of $2.0 million offset by issuance on long term debenture notes of $1.9 million which was primarily from our European subsidiaries.

 

Westport’s capital requirements will vary depending on a number of factors, including the timing and size of orders for our LNG systems, our ability to successfully launch products on time, our supply chain and manufacturing requirements, our success in executing our business plan, relationships with current and potential strategic partners, commercial sales and margins, product reliability, progress on research and development activities, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. We also continue to review investment and acquisition opportunities on a regular basis for technologies, businesses and markets that would complement our own products or assist us in our commercialization plans. Significant new orders, expanded engine programs, acquisitions or investments could require additional funding. If such additional funding is not available to us, if expected orders do not materialize or are delayed, or if we have significant overspending in our programs, we may be required to delay, reduce or eliminate certain research and development activities, reduce or cancel inventory orders, and possibly forego new program, acquisition or investment opportunities. Any of those circumstances could potentially result in a delay of the commercialization of our products in development and could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

 

Our interim consolidated 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. The Company’s accounting policies are described in Note 2 of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 annual consolidated financial statements. There have been no changes in accounting policies applied to the March 31, 2015 financial statements. We have identified several policies as critical to the measurement of 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 our accounting of CWI as a variable interest entity, warranty liability, revenue recognition, inventories, property, equipment, furniture and leasehold improvements, stock-based compensation, goodwill and intangible assets. The application of these and other accounting policies are described in Note 2 of our fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 annual consolidated financial statements and our 2014 Annual Management and Discussion Analysis. Actual amounts may vary significantly from estimates used.

 

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS AND DEVELOPMENTS

 

(a)New accounting pronouncements:

 

Revenue:

 

In May 2014, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue From Contracts With Customers (“Topic 606”). Topic 606 removes inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements, provides a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues, improves comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets, provides more useful information to users of financial statements through improved disclosure requirements and simplifies the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer. The guidance in this update supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. Additionally, this update supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition - Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. Topic 606 is effective for public entities with reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. On April 29th, 2015, the FASB proposed deferring the standard to be effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption would be permitted as of the original effective date in ASU 2014-09 (i.e., annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within the annual periods). The Company has not yet evaluated the impact of the adoption of this new standard.

 

Going Concern:

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15 “Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern,” outlining management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, along with the required disclosures.  ASU 2014-15 is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted.  The Company does not anticipate a material impact to the Company’s financial statements as a result of this change.

 

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES AND INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, there were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

SUMMARY OF QUARTERLY RESULTS AND DISCUSSION OF THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2015

 

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, impairment charges, stock-based compensation awards and foreign exchange impacts. Net 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.

(1) In 2014, the Company combined the parts revenue with product revenue into a single line item. This has been reflected in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive loss for all periods presented.

 

(2) The term EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) does not have a standardized meaning according to U.S. GAAP. See non-GAAP measures for more information.

 

(3) The term Adjusted EBITDA is not defined under U.S. GAAP and is not a measure of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Westport defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITA adjusted for amortization of stock-based compensation, unrealized foreign exchange gain or loss, and non-cash and other unusual adjustments. See non-GAAP measures for more information.

 

16

  

Non-GAAP Measures

 

We use certain non-GAAP measures to assist in assessing our financial performance. Non-GAAP measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed in U.S. GAAP and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

 

EBITDA

 

The term EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) is a non-GAAP financial measure. The Company defines EBITDA as loss before income taxes adjusted for interest expense (net) and depreciation and amortization.

 

Management believes that EBITDA is an important indicator commonly reported and widely used by investors and analysts as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance and ability. The intent is to provide additional useful information to investors and analysts and such measures do not have any standardized meaning under U.S. GAAP. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Other issuers may define EBITDA differently.

Loss before income taxes  $(33.6)  $(29.9)  $(89.5)  $(23.9)  $(35.1)  $(26.2)  $(65.1)  $(16.7)
Interest Expense, net (1)   1.3    1.1    0.7    0.8    1.7    0.7    2.5    1.4 
Depreciation   3.8    4.3    4.6    4.3    4.6    4.7    5.1    3.6 
EBITDA  $(28.5)  $(24.5)  $(84.2)  $(18.8)  $(28.8)  $(20.8)  $(57.5)  $(11.7)

 

(1) Interest expense, net is defined as the aggregate of bank charges, interest, and other, interest on long term-debt and amortization of discount, and interest and other income.

 

EBITDA increased $45.8 million in the three month period ended March 31, 2015 to a loss of $11.7 million from a loss of $57.5 million for the three month period ended December 31, 2014 primarily as a result of no impairments related to long lived asset, intangible and goodwill and no provision for inventory purchase commitments recorded in the current quarter (Q4 2014 - $33.6 million), reduced research and development, general and administrative and sales and marketing expenses of $8.8 million due to staff reductions and deferral of non-core development programs, and an increase in gross margin of $6.7 million.

 

17

  

Non-GAAP Measures continued:

 

Adjusted EBITDA

 

The term Adjusted EBITDA is not defined under U.S. GAAP and is not a measure of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

 

Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to review operational progress of its business units and investment programs over successive periods and as a long-term indicator of operational performance since it ties closely to the unit’s ability to generate sustained cash flows.

 

Westport defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted for stock-based compensation, unrealized foreign exchange gain or loss, and non-cash and other unusual adjustments. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and when assessing Westport’s operating performance, investors should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation, or as a substitute for net loss or other consolidated statement of operations data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Among other things, Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect Westport’s actual cash expenditures. Other companies may calculate similar measures differently than Westport, limiting their usefulness as comparative tools. Westport compensates for these limitations by relying primarily on its U.S. GAAP results.

 

Three months ended  30-Jun-13   30-Sep-13   31-Dec-13   31-Mar-14   30-Jun-14   30-Sep-14   31-Dec-14   31-Mar-15 
EBITDA  $(28.5)  $(24.5)  $(84.2)  $(18.8)  $(28.8)  $(20.8)  $(57.5)  $(11.7)
Stock based compensation   4.1    3.7    3.3    4.7    3.3    1.0        3.4

   $(27.8)  $(19.5)  $(23.2)  $(22.1)  $(16.9)  $(22.0)  $(23.0)  $(9.2)

 

(2) Non-cash and other unusual adjustments include impairment of long lived assets, provision for inventory purchase commitments, intangible impairment, goodwill impairment, and one time inventory obsolescence charges. The three month ended December 31, 2013 figure included other unusual adjustments related to the discontinuation of the first generation of Westport HPDI systems.

 

Adjusted EBITDA increased $13.8 million in the three month period ended March 31, 2015 to a loss of $9.2 million from a loss of $23.0 million for the three month period ended December 31, 2014 primarily as a result reduced research and development, general and administrative and sales and marketing expenses of $8.8 million due to staff reductions and deferral of non-core development programs and an increase in gross margin of $6.7 million.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

As part of our joint venture agreement, we engage in transactions with CWI.

 

As at March 31, 2015, net amounts due from CWI total $0.2 million (December 31, 2014 - 2.5 million). Amounts receivable relate to costs incurred by the Company on behalf of CWI. The amounts are generally reimbursed by CWI to the Company in the month following the month in which the payable is incurred. Cost reimbursements from CWI consisted of the following:

BUSINESS RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

 

An investment in our business involves risk and readers should carefully consider the risks described in our AIF and other filings on www.sedar.com and www.sec.gov. Our ability to generate revenue and profit from our technologies is dependent on a number of factors, and the risks discussed in our AIF, if they were to occur, could have a material impact on our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operation or prospects. While we have attempted to identify the primary known risks that are material to our business, the risks and uncertainties discussed in our AIF may not be the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties, including those that we do not know about now or that we currently believe are immaterial may also adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operation or prospects. A full discussion of the risks impacting our business is contained in the AIF for the three months ended March 31, 2015 under the heading “Risk Factors” and is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

1.Basis of preparation:

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as at March 31, 2015, and the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated 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 fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 filed with the appropriate securities regulatory authorities.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which include reclassifications and normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the condensed consolidated balance sheet, condensed consolidated results of operations and comprehensive loss, condensed consolidated statements of shareholders' equity and condensed consolidated cash flows as at March 31, 2015 and for all periods presented, have been recorded. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results for Westport Innovations Inc.’s (“the Company”) full year.

 

The Company’s reporting currency for its consolidated financial statement presentation is the United States dollar. The functional currencies of the Company’s operations and subsidiaries include the following: United States, Canadian and Australian dollar, Euro, Chinese Renminbi (RMB), and Swedish Krona. The Company translates assets and liabilities of non-US 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.

 

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

 

   Period end exchange rate as at:   Average for the period ended: 
   March 31, 2015   December 31, 2014   March 31, 2015   March 31, 2014 
Canadian dollar   0.79    0.86    0.81    0.91 
Australian dollar   0.76    0.82    0.79    0.90 
Euro   1.08    1.21    1.12    1.37 
RMB   0.16    0.16    0.16    0.16 
Swedish Krona   0.12    0.13    0.12    0.15

2.Accounting Changes

 

(a)New accounting pronouncements:

 

Revenue:

 

In May 2014, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue From Contracts With Customers (“Topic 606”). Topic 606 removes inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements, provides a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues, improves comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets, provides more useful information to users of financial statements through improved disclosure requirements and simplifies the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer. The guidance in this update supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance throughout the Industry Topics of the Codification. Additionally, this update supersedes some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, Revenue Recognition - Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts. Topic 606 is effective for public entities with reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. On April 29th, 2015, the FASB proposed deferring the standard to be effective for annual reporting periods (including interim reporting periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption would be permitted as of the original effective date in ASU 2014-09 (i.e., annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within the annual periods).  There is no assurance that the FASB will bring such proposed deferral into effect. The Company has not yet evaluated the impact of the adoption of this new standard.

 

Going Concern:

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15. Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern outlining management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, along with the required disclosures.  ASU 2014-15 is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted.  The Company does not anticipate a material impact to the Company’s financial statements as a result of this change.

5.Long-term investments (continued):

 

(b)   Cummins Westport Inc.:

 

The Company and Cummins Inc. (“Cummins”) each own 50% of the common shares of CWI. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company recognized its share of CWI’s income of $5,945 (three months ended March 31, 2014 - loss of $835), as income from investment accounted for by the equity method. During the first quarter of 2015, the Company identified adjustments in CWI's estimated 2014 financial statement results, which primarily related to warranty accrual. The identified adjustments resulted in a cumulative $1,184 understatement of the Company’s income from investments accounted for by the equity method for the year ended December 31, 2014. The Company corrected the amounts related to CWI in the first quarter of 2015, which had the net effect of increasing income from investments accounted for by the equity method by $1,184 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The Company did not believe this adjustment was material to its consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 and, therefore, did not restate any prior period amounts. The Company does not believe the adjustment is material to the three months ended March 31, 2015 consolidated interim financial statements.

 

Assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of CWI are as follows:

 

   March 31,
2015
   December 31,
2014 (1)
 
Current assets:

Current portion of deferred revenue   9,235    8,029

6.Variable interest entities:

 

Cummins and Westport each own 50% of the common shares of CWI and have equal representation on the Board of Directors.  No one shareholder has the unilateral power to govern CWI.  The Board of Directors has power over the operating decisions and to direct other activities of CWI that most significantly impact CWI’s economic performance as set forth in the governing documents.  As decision-making at the Board of Directors’ level requires unanimous approval, this power is shared.

 

Prior to February 20, 2012, the Company and Cummins shared equally in the profits and losses of CWI.  Under the new Joint Venture Agreement, profits and losses are shared equally up to an established revenue baseline, and then any excess profits will be allocated 75% to the Company and 25% to Cummins.  The Company has not historically provided and does not intend to provide financial or other support to CWI that the Company is not contractually required to provide.

 

The carrying amount and maximum exposure to losses relating to VIEs in which the Company holds a significant variable interest but is not the primary beneficiary, and which have not been consolidated, were as follows:

15.Commitments

 

(a)Contractual Commitments

 

Operating lease commitments represent our future minimum lease payments under leases related primarily to our operating premises and office equipment:

 

2015  $4,583 
2016   5,409 
2017   4,460 
2018   4,395 
2019   3,741 
Thereafter   30,469 
      
   $53,057 

 

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.

 

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

 

(b) Purchase Commitments

 

The Company purchases components from a variety of suppliers and contract manufacturers. During the normal course of business, in order to manage manufacturing lead times and help ensure adequate component supply, the Company enters into agreements with suppliers and contract manufacturers. A portion of our reported estimated purchase commitments arising from these agreements are firm, noncancelable, and unconditional commitments. The Company may be subject to penalties, and may lose important suppliers, if it is unable to meet its purchase commitments.

16.Segmented information:

 

During the first quarter of 2015, Westport realigned the structure of the company's internal organization. The realignment combines, our historical operating segments, Westport Applied Technologies, Westport On-Road Systems and Westport Off-Road Systems into a single operating segment, Westport Operations. This change reflects the manner in which operating decisions and assessing business performance is currently managed by the Chief Operating Decision Makers (the CEO and the COO “CODMs”). As Westport narrows its focus within certain business units, including its investments in joint ventures, and defers certain products and related programs, the CODMs manage the combined businesses as a whole. Therefore, the Westport Operations segment provides more meaningful information to users of Westport’s financial statements.   Prior-period amounts have been adjusted retrospectively to reflect these operating segment changes.

 

The financial information for the Company’s business segments evaluated by the CODMs includes the results of the CWI and WWI as if it were consolidated, which is consistent with the way Westport manages its business segments. As CWI and WWI are accounted for under the equity method of accounting, an adjustment is reflected in the tables below to reconcile the segment measures to the Company’s consolidated measures.

 

The Company’s business operates in four operating segments:

 

- Westport Operations designs manufactures and sells compressed natural gas, liquefied natural gas, and liquefied petroleum gas components and systems to over 20 global OEMs, and to aftermarket customers in over 60 countries.

 

- Corporate and Technology Investments, which includes corporate costs such as research and development, general and administrative, marketing, interest and other charges, foreign exchange and depreciation that cannot be attributed to a particular segment and are incurred by all segments;

 

- CWI which serves the medium- to heavy-duty engine markets with spark ignited natural gas engines. The fuel for CWI engines is typically carried on vehicles as compressed natural gas or liquefied natural gas; and

 

- WWI develops, manufactures, and sells advanced, alternative fuel engines and parts that are widely used in city bus, coach, and heavy-duty truck applications in China or exported to other regions globally.

 

The accounting policies for the reportable segments are consistent with those described in the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014. The CODM evaluates segment performance based on gross margin and on the net operating income (loss), which is before income taxes and does not include depreciation and amortization, impairment charges, foreign exchange gains and losses, bank charges, interest and other expenses, interest and other income, and gain on sale of long-term investments.

17.Financial instruments (continued):

 

(b)Fair value of financial instruments:

 

The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and loan payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term period to maturity of these instruments.

 

The Company’s short-term investments are recorded at fair value.  The long-term investment represents our interests in the CWI, WWI and other equity accounted for investees, which are accounted for using the equity method.

 

The carrying value reported in the balance sheets for obligations under capital lease, which is based upon discounted cash flows, approximates its fair value.

 

The carrying value reported in the balance sheet for the unsecured subordinated debenture notes (note 11) approximates its fair value, based on market rates of interest for similar indebtedness. Additionally, the interest rate on the notes approximates the interest rate being demanded in the market for debt with similar terms and conditions.

 

The carrying value reported in the balance sheet for senior financing agreements (note 11) approximates their fair values as at March 31, 2015, as the interest rates on the debt is floating and therefore approximates the market rates of interest.  The Company’s credit spread also has not substantially changed from the premiums currently paid.

 

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 March 31, 2015, cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are included in Level 1.
