LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

LETTER TO ShAREhOLdERS

TO OUR 
ShAREhOLdERS,

At the end of a fiscal year, we believe it is important for 
us to review the year and mark our progress against our 
strategic plans.  2013 was a transition year for Westport.  
We went through a considerable change as we reconfigured 
our business from our market creation, demonstration 
project culture, to a focused product business in a 
strong growth market.  We will start reviewing the year 
by reiterating the foundations for our strategic plan. 

First, transportation and energy, what we all know as the 
world’s two largest industries, are going through once-a-
century disruption where fundamental economic forces 
are driving change.  For transport, it is the high price 
of oil, from which virtually 100% of our transportation 
fuels are derived.  As a result, this has opened up an 
opportunity for a new energy source.  It is important to 
understand that this is an economic issue, and the driving 
force for change is the quest for a lower cost fuel.

Second, energy is going through a technology-driven 
disruption in both oil and gas extraction and distribution.  
Here we need to focus on the fact that the oil boom is about 
extracting oil from previously impossible or uneconomic 
resources, and high prices are driving innovations.  With 
natural gas, it is the opposite.  We have created a breakthrough 
that has opened up staggering quantities of low cost natural 
gas.  There is a tremendous amount of global investment 
underway to bring natural gas to market and make it a truly 
global energy source, like oil.  When you put the two industries 
together, you have our fundamental thesis where we will see 
natural gas as a primary fuel for transportation applications.  

Westport is focused on where the market is going to be, 
not where it has been or where it is today.  The market 
ahead of us is coming quickly and breakthrough products 
are coming fast, from passenger cars in Russia or China to 
locomotives in the U.S.  We believe the real advantage is the 
emerging market for fully developed, original equipment 
manufacturer (“OEM”)-built products, with the same 
high quality standards as current products and using the 
traditional automotive industry channels and supply chain.

We have concluded that the first priority should be 
markets where customers spend a great deal on fuel; 
regulation or policy are encouraging a change; and 
there is a full ecosystem of product distribution, service, 
fuelling infrastructure, and customer awareness.  At 
Westport, we spent over a decade educating, encouraging, 
demonstrating, and proving out the necessary components 
of that ecosystem in different markets around the world.

At the end of 2013, we believe the ecosystem was in place.  
We were able to survey around the world and were pleased 
with the proof that we are on the right track.  For example, 
revenues from our joint ventures (“JVs”) in North America 
and China, combined with revenue from Westport’s direct 
sales were over $900 million last year.  Furthermore, 
natural gas fuelling infrastructure is emerging globally, 
and a small but highly capable and scalable supply chain 
is developing.  Growth is apparent all over the world.  

We spent the last year reviewing our current product portfolio, 
all of our market opportunities, and making the appropriate 
shifts in the business in order to prioritize the most important 
strategic decisions and optimize our position in the emerging 
global market for fully integrated OEM-built natural gas 
vehicles.  We are entering 2014 with clear objectives:  

iNCREASE hEAVY-dUTY 
NATURAL GAS TRUCKS 
MARKET PENETRATiON 
iN NORTh AMERiCA

We look at 2014 as the critical breakthrough year in heavy-
duty trucks in North America.  We expect to see 3% to 5% 
market penetration in Class 8 trucks for natural gas this 
year, which is up from virtually zero in 2011.  At that rate, 
we would have a total population on the road of about 
12,000 trucks over the next couple of years, which would 
consume on average about 18,000 gallons of fuel per year 
per truck.  This is becoming a material amount of energy 
that is being allocated to the Class 8 truck market.

WESTPORT iNNOVATiONS iNC. 2013 ANNUAL REPORT  »  1

LETTER TO ShAREhOLdERS

If we are successful in getting that 3% to 5% market 
penetration, we believe the growth trajectory is clear.  That 
is growth from approximately 1.7% in 2013, and we do 
not think there is anything to stop it from going much 
higher.  Westport has 100% content in those natural gas 
trucks sold in North America this year, with Cummins 
Westport engines supplemented by sales of the Westport 
iCE PACK™ liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) Tank System.

CONTiNUE SiGNiFiCANT 
GROWTh iN ChiNA

We believe 2014 is also going to be a breakthrough year 
for us in China.  Our Weichai Westport JV shipped over 
38,000 engines last year and we expect it to grow again in 
2014.  Approximately 70% of those sales went into trucking 
applications.  Westport will begin supplying components and 
high pressure direct injection (“HPDI”) kits to the Weichai 
Westport JV in 2014 as we shift our strategy from market 
creation to product sales through the JV.  This is a significant 
opportunity and we are excited to continue to work with 
Weichai to lead this energy transition in China.  The JV has also 
announced a capacity expansion that will position us to ship up 
to 100,000 natural gas engines annually by the end of 2014.

GENERATE PROFiTABLE 
GROWTh iN ThE 
AUTOMOTiVE MARKET

On the automotive side, we have two paths to market: 

»» The Applied Technologies business is well positioned 

for growth as our OEM customers expand their 
product offerings globally and as sales develop.  We 
manufacture various specialized natural gas components, 
such as tank valves, regulators, and fuel lines.

»» Through our complete vehicle systems, including our 

work with Volvo Car and Ford, we have taken big steps to 
position ourselves for profitable growth.  For example, 
last year we acquired BAF Technologies, Inc. and 
combined it with our Westport WiNG™ Power System 
division to create the single largest Ford Qualified Vehicle 
Modifier business.  Similarly, with the launch of the 
new Volvo V60 model in Europe and the improvements 
we have made to that business, we expect to be in a 
position for profitable growth in 2014 and beyond.

dEVELOP WESTPORT OFF-
ROAd SYSTEMS BUSiNESS

We are seeing quick enthusiasm in the rail industry, and 
we are well positioned to sell Westport™ LNG Tenders and 
engine systems in this market over the next few years.  The 
Westport™ LNG Tender is a brand new product and is 
emerging as a very interesting business for Westport.  We 
believe you will see the evidence of this develop in 2014.

At the end of 2013, we discontinued the production of 
the first generation of Westport™ HPDI.  Our investment 
was essential in establishing the opportunity for natural 
gas heavy-duty trucks around the world.  However, its 
mission in market creation and development has been 
accomplished.  We will continue to support our existing 
customers, and we have allowed for that going forward with 
a substantial provision on our balance sheet.  The next 
generation of Westport™ HPDI products will be emerging, 
and the business model we have developed with our OEM 
partners will be more scalable and profitable for Westport.  

PATh TO PROFiTABiLiTY 
MiLESTONES

All of the products mentioned above are in the market 
today and are going to form the basis for our stated goal 
of reaching Adjusted EBITDA positive in our combined 
operating business units by the end of 2014.  This is a 
very important goal for us.  The swing from a $97 million 
Adjusted EBITDA loss for the year ended 2013 to Adjusted 
EBITDA positive on a consolidated basis by the end of 2015 
is a real challenge, but we have the roadmap in front of us. 

The end game is not a breakeven business.  We are 
continuing to invest heavily in technology and product 
development with our partners, and we believe we are 
developing a sustainable, competitive position.  As the 
market for natural gas vehicles emerges over the next few 
years, Westport will be the leading partner for OEMs 
as they launch new products.  We are confident that we 
have a strong lead on competition and we can foresee 
considerable flexibility in our plans as the markets mature.

In conclusion, our goals for 2014 are: 

1  To reach Adjusted»EBITDA»positive»from»our»combined»
operating»business»units»by»Q4 and continued profitable 
growth in our JVs. 

2  To carefully»and»prudently»manage»our»investment»
programs to ensure that operational cash flow from 
Westport direct sales, plus our JVs’ dividends, will cover 
our investments and allow Westport to achieve overall 
consolidated Adjusted EBITDA positive by the end of 
2015; while maintaining the right investment and the 
right priorities to ensure our continued leadership of the 
industry.

3  To deliver»on»contractual»commitments to our strategic 
partners and key OEMs, and develop attractive new 
customer relationships.  We will continue to help removing 
barriers to the rapid adoption of natural gas vehicles around 
the world.  

We have defined the trajectory and identified a meaningful 
scorecard that tracks our path to profitability.  The industry 
is growing beyond many expectations and we firmly believe 
that Westport and our shareholders are in the right place 
to benefit from the opportunities in front of us.  We 
believe 2014 is going to be a spectacular year for us.  

On behalf of our Board of Directors and management 
team, and our employees around the world, we 
thank you for your continued support.

SUSTAiNABiLiTY REPORT

SUSTAINABILITY REPORT

We are pleased to present our 2013 Sustainability Report: our 
annual update to Westport’s ongoing effort to support the 
transition to a sustainable energy future.  Westport has grown 
from an innovative research experiment to a global operating 
company.  Our strength is the result of our willingness 
to challenge the limits of what is possible and transform 
transportation systems to address sustainability concerns such 
as air quality, energy security and greenhouse gas emissions.  In 
2013 we have been challenged to adapt to our recent growth as 
we continue to support new markets for cleaner gaseous vehicles 
and change the way the world moves. 

Sustainability underlies everything we do

We believe that business success isn’t solely measured “company 
to customer” but through our relationships with a range of 
stakeholders.  As a clean technology leader, we recognize 
the responsibility we have to our employees, customers, 
partners, shareholders, suppliers, governments, the natural 
environment, academic institutions, non-government 
organizations (“NGOs”) and the neighbourhoods in which 
we live and work.  We seek to engage partners on every level 
to collaboratively shift far-reaching global energy systems to 
respond together to the issues that concern us all. 

The decarbonisation of the transport sector requires vision, 
leadership and boldness.  Governments around the world are 
recognizing the economic, energy security, environmental and 
job creation benefits of natural gas vehicles.  Environmental 
NGOs want to learn more about how reducing the carbon 
intensity of fuels has the potential to meaningfully reduce 
emissions from heavy-duty vehicles.  Our partners see a 
tremendous opportunity to revolutionize how we, as global 
citizens, move freight and people.  Westport’s ongoing 
technological innovation and drive to catalyze real change will 
continue to address the demands of all of our stakeholders in 
the coming year. 

Natural Gas in 2013: Cementing 
the Foundation of our 
Sustainable Energy Future

Natural gas is positioned as the cornerstone of the world’s 
transition to sustainable energy systems.  Energy analysts and 
major producers continue to project natural gas to be the 
fastest growing traditional energy source for the foreseeable 
future.  Governments anticipate the key role natural gas 
will play in their economies and are devoting funding to 
infrastructure projects that will smooth this key transition, with 
prominent commitments in the United States, Europe, and 

4  »  WESTPORT iNNOVATiONS iNC. 2013 ANNUAL REPORT

China.[1]  President Barack Obama has recognized natural gas 
as “the bridge fuel that can power the U.S. economy”.[2]  And 
forward-thinking fleets are investing in natural gas vehicles and 
fueling infrastructure today in anticipation of its long-term 
contribution towards the resilience and diversification of their 
vehicle fleets.

UPS is one of the most prominent nationwide alternative fuel 
fleets.  UPS’s Package Operations consists of a delivery fleet of 
almost 95,000 vehicles, which currently include over 2,500 
alternative-fuelled vehicles and has ambitious long-term targets 
for shifting away from gasoline and diesel.[3]  UPS has made 
natural gas, particularly liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) with its 
benefits for long-haul heavy-duty hauling, one of its cornerstone 
efforts to protect itself against volatile fuel pricing.  They hail 
LNG as “one of the most promising alternatives to conventional 
diesel fuel for trucks” due to their “strong pulling power and long 
range […] while offering a lower emission profile.”[4]

COLLABORATiON iN 2013

Business for Social Responsibility

Business for Social Responsibility (“BSR”) is a global network 
of more than 250 companies working to create a just and 
sustainable world.  Westport joined BSR in 2012 and is a 
founding member of the Future of Fuels working group.[5]  
The sustainability of energy and transportation has become 
increasingly important for business and it presents a range of 
challenges and opportunities for companies across the entire 
fuel value chain.  This leadership initiative brings together 
experts from the private, non-profit, public and academic 
sectors to help companies understand the greatest sustainability 
challenges of their transportation fuel system and how to 
mitigate those impacts.

While greenhouse gas or criteria air pollutant emission 
reductions have traditionally been the driver of cleaner, low-
carbon fuels and advanced vehicles, other sustainability impacts 
such as human rights, affordability, energy security, community 
health, water quality, occupational health and safety and land 
use must also be carefully considered.

Carbon Disclosure Project

The Carbon Disclosure Project (“CDP”) is an international, 
not-for-profit organization providing the only global system 
for companies to measure, disclose, manage and share 
environmental performance information.  It represents 
722 investors with $87 trillion in assets and holds the largest 
collection of self-reported corporate climate data.[6]

Westport prepared its first CDP report in 2012 and received 
a score of 60 within performance band E.  In 2013, we 
improved our score through the disclosure of additional 
performance metrics to 71 within performance band D.  As a 
clean technology leader, we recognize that we must account for 
and responsibly reduce the environmental impact of natural gas 
engines and vehicles.  Our work with the CDP is a major step 
in expanding the reach and rigour of Westport’s sustainability 
transparency.[7]

Carbon Price Communiqué

The Carbon Price Communiqué is a historic call for action 
coordinated by the Prince of Wales’ Corporate Leaders Network 
for Climate Action in association with the World Business 
Council on Sustainable Development (“WBCSD”) and 
the International Emission Trading Association (“IETA”).  
Bringing together a broad coalition of stakeholders, the Carbon 
Price Communiqué signals the readiness of leading companies 
to tackle one of the most urgent challenges of the 21st century.  
It also underscores the importance of regulatory certainty for 
reducing greenhouse gas emissions while encouraging growth in 
energy, transport and the built environment.

Westport joined more than 150 corporations to call on 
governments around the world to put a price on carbon.  The 
Corporate Leaders Group will be reconvening in 2014 to 
launch the next Communiqué and Westport looks forward to 
working through this process to continue to advocate for a fair

UC Davis NextSTEPS

The NextSTEPS program is a four-year multidisciplinary 
research consortium working to advance alternative 
transportation that operates within the Institute of 
Transportation Studies at the University of California (Davis).  
The goal of NextSTEPS is to generate new insights about the 
transition to a sustainable transportation energy future and 
to disseminate that knowledge effectively to decision-makers 
in the public and private sectors.  NextSTEPS encompasses 
interdisciplinary research on electric vehicles, biofuels, 
hydrogen fuel cells and efficiency improvements to gasoline and 
diesel engines.  Natural gas was added as a dedicated research 
stream in 2012. 

The NextSTEPS members include 23 other government 
and corporate partners, including the U.S. Department of 
Transportation and major automotive original equipment 
manufacturers (“OEMs”) such as Ford, GM, Volkswagen and 
Toyota.

Environmental Defence Fund Pump 
to Wheels Methane Leakage Study

The Environmental Defense Fund (“EDF”) has a history of 
cross-sector collaboration and balanced environmental analysis.  
In 2012, the EDF initiated a series of studies with academic and 
industry partners to better understand the source and quantity 
of methane emissions along the natural gas supply chain.[8]

Westport joined the EDF in 2012 as a partner in its Pump 
to Wheels Methane Leakage Study for natural gas vehicles, 
refuelling stations and maintenance facilities. Natural gas 
in medium and heavy-duty transport applications is gaining 
market share, and industry is working to develop and bring 
new products to market that improve performance, reliability 
and quality from early systems deployed as long as a decade 
ago. Westport’s support of scientific studies such as this is an 
integral part of our commitment to take a leadership role in the 
transition towards sustainable mobility.

8.  The five study modules are production, gathering lines and processing facilities, pipelines 
and storage, local distribution, and commercial trucks and refueling stations.  The first 
peer-reviewed study has now been published in the journal Proceedings of the National 
Academy of Science and is available online at pnas.org/content/110/44/17768.

performance based on globally recognized indicators.  

Perhaps one of the most significant advantages of the GRI is the 
ability to compare the performance of Westport to our OEM 
partners and competitors.  This report, prepared in accordance 
with the GRI Third Generation Guidelines (“G3”), discloses 
data from January to December 2013.  Historical data from 
the past four fiscal years have been included for comparative 
purposes, where appropriate.

Westport has self-declared this report to correspond to 
application level B in the six-level grid of the GRI G3 
guidelines.  Application Level B requires us to disclose our 
performance on at least twenty core economic, social and 
environmental indicators.  The GRI has not verified the 
contents of this report, nor does it take a position on the 
reliability of information reported herein.  For further

has doubled over the same time period, leaving our injury rates 
in line with previous years.  

Community Impacts

The liveability of specific locales or areas may be significantly 
impacted by an organization’s activities.  Westport’s geographic 
location, with our technical facilities adjacent to homes, 
schools and other businesses requires us to monitor and 
manage the potentially adverse impacts our operations might 
have on our immediate neighbors.  Our Facilities Engineering 
Group maintains a preventative maintenance schedule for key 
equipment to minimize the likelihood of environment releases 
and noise levels in excess of municipal by-laws.  Westport 
responds to community concerns regarding our facilities, 
infrastructure, noise levels and environmental impacts in a 
timely manner.  We received one noise complaint in 2013 
associated with the refuelling of our liquid nitrogen tank and 
have taken the necessary steps to rectify the situation.

Anti-Corruption Efforts

Our expectations for individual integrity and ethical, moral and 
legal conduct are outlined in our Code of Conduct.  The Code 
of Conduct has mandated compliance with all applicable laws in

the jurisdictions where we operate and has always prohibited the 
giving or receiving of improper payments to influence business 
decisions.  In addition, Westport maintains a confidential ethics 
hotline to provide an avenue for employees to raise concerns 
about corporate conduct.  The policy includes the reassurance 
that they will be protected from reprisals or victimization for 
“whistle blowing” in good faith.    

Product Responsibility

Quality and safety are imperatives across the product life 
cycle.  Our Quality Management System (QMS) is certified 
to ISO 9001:2008 standards for the design, assembly and 
commercialization of its LNG fuel systems.  Westport QMS 
comprises the organization’s policies and procedures that aim 
to ensure that customer requirements are met with consistency, 
resulting in enhanced customer confidence and satisfaction.  The 
QMS, other internal requirements and engineering systems have 
contributed to no incidents of non-compliance with regulations 
and voluntary codes concerning the health and safety impacts 
of our products.  Internal systems and processes have been 
established to ensure that the health and safety impacts of our 
products are assessed in each of the following life-cycle stages:

COMMUNiTY ENGAGEMENT

Being active in the community has always been central to 
Westport’s values and we support employee volunteer efforts.  
Since 2002, Westport has been a strong supporter of the 
United Way of the Lower Mainland.  From modest beginnings 
our annual workplace campaign has grown steadily and in 2013 
our cumulative fundraising total surpassed $1 million CDN.

Westport’s contributions to the community go beyond financial 
donations.  Our employee led IMPACT team provides various 
outlets for Westporters to engage in the community.  The role 
of IMPACT is to bring the various activities and initiatives that 
Westport employees can participate in into one coordinated 
effort.  This also provides employees an outlet to exercise their 16 

8  »  WESTPORT iNNOVATiONS iNC. 2013 ANNUAL REPORT

hours of paid volunteer time.  IMPACT initiatives generally touch 
on their three pillars; Environment, Education, and Community.

“Bridging the Science Gap”: Our 
Partnership with Science World

Science World is dedicated to inspiring science and technology 
leadership in British Columbia.  Westport is a contributor 
to Science World’s “Bridging the Science Gap” campaign 
through its sponsorship of the transportation exhibit in the 
Ken Spencer Science Park.  This interactive outdoor science 
park is designed to educate children about the future of new, 
clean, low-carbon technologies.  The Westport-sponsored 
exhibit conveys a “Clean Transportation Story” with interactive 
elements to demonstrate how everyday choices can impact our 
carbon footprint.

United Way of the Lower Mainland 
Community Schools

Westport is a proud partner of the United Way and Vancouver 
School Board’s Community Schools Program.  Community 
schools provide safe and structured after-school activities to 
students aged 6-12.  After-school programs play a critical role in 
providing structured, supervised time for children to be active, 
to develop positive social skills and to build overall capabilities.  
Studies have linked participation in these programs with greater 
academic success, increased self-confidence and self-esteem and 
better relationships with peers and adults.  

Through this partnership, Westport employees lead classes over 
seven weeks in comic book art, yarn crafts, guitar lessons and 
sports at Lloyd George Elementary School.  We are honoured to 
partner with the United Way and the Vancouver School Board 
on this critical community initiative.

Canadian Blood Services

Westport has been a member of the Canadian Blood Services’ 
Partners for Life Program since 2001.  This nationwide 
program is designed to encourage group donations from 
business and community organizations.  Each year, we set a 
target, coordinate group donations and allow employees to take 
time from work to donate.

The Canadian Blood Services’ Bloodmobile visited our offices 
for the first time in 2012 and we were able to collect more than 
40 donations that day.  In 2013, we made 114 donations.  Since 
2006, Westport employees have donated nearly 500 pints of 
blood or enough to impact 108 lives.[12]

12.  According to Canadian Blood Services an average of 4.6 pints are required per patient.

ENViRONMENTAL 
PERFORMANCE iNdiCATORS

Environmental Compliance

Compliance with applicable federal, provincial, and municipal 
regulations is a baseline environmental performance standard 
and we believe that leading organizations must go beyond 
minimum environmental requirements.  Since its inception 
in 1996, Westport has not received any fines or non-monetary 
sanctions for environmental non-compliance.

Water

It is expected that climate change will impact global water 
resources.  Water use is an increasingly critical component of 
each organization’s sustainability performance.  Despite this, 
only the largest industries in British Columbia have water 
meters with data logging capability and the city of Vancouver 
does not currently provide meters to light industrial or 
commercial customers such as Westport. 

Our calculations indicate that Westport facilities cumulatively 
have an average daily rate of water use of approximately 
13.5 m³ per day.  Engine and fuel system component testing 
activities use process water that flows in a closed-loop thereby 
minimizing total water withdrawals.  Water conserving domestic 
appliances and fixtures has been installed at all locations 
in an effort to further reduce our impact.  We recognize 
that providing only an estimate and not actual water use is a 
limitation of our current sustainability report.

Energy Consumption

number of test cells with transient dynamometers to seven.    
Increasing capacity at state-of-the art testing facilities is 
an essential component of the research and development 
required for the expansion of Westport’s product and 
service offerings.  Continued growth in the new HTC 
streamlines the testing process required of all new products 
by allowing us to perform development and certification 
testing in-house.  We equip each test cell with transient 
dynamometers to generate electricity from operations that 
is returned to the grid for local consumption.

2  Due to the increase in employee headcount, our office space 
square footage increased by 13% during the reporting period. 

3  The increase in diesel is due to the fluctuation in testing 
schedules.  There are times when we are evaluating several 
engines which run on diesel only.  Moreover, we have increased 
our on road testing which means more trucks are running.

4  The drop in re-injected natural gas can be attributed to the 
fact that we have increased our use of liquid nitrogen for 
development and component durability testing as a substitute 
for LNG.  Previously, this LNG was captured at the end of 
our testing and re-injected into the grid.  Liquid nitrogen is 
an inert, non-toxic gas that has no impact on air quality.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions

The Greenhouse Gas Protocol[13] developed by the World 
Business Council on Sustainable Development (WBSCD) is the 
globally accepted standard for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 
accounting.  The organizational boundary of this inventory 
includes all of Westport’s British Columbia-based facilities and 
includes both scope one and scope two emissions.[14]  We have 
not measured scope three emissions to date.

gas, diesel, propane, and fuel used in company vehicles.  Scope Two indirect 
Emissions include emissions associated with the purchase and use of electricity.

WESTPORT iNNOVATiONS iNC. 2013 ANNUAL REPORT  »  9

SUSTAiNABiLiTY REPORT

Finding comparable organizations against which to benchmark 
our GHG emissions remains a challenge, as the research and 
development of new engine technologies is necessarily an energy-
intensive process.  There are currently no regulatory requirements 
for a company of our size to disclose its emissions.[15]  The process 
of compiling a GHG inventory provides an important foundation 
for understanding reduction opportunities and measuring 
progress.  Westport works through the internationally-recognized 
Carbon Disclosure Project to inventory and make public our 
GHG emissions.  We have identified future opportunities to 
reduce the impacts of our operations, as well as opportunities 
to integrate climate change risk into our risk management 
procedures and overall business strategy.

Waste Generation and Diversion

Waste reduction, reuse and recycling programs are well 
established and well-maintained.  Using formulas based 
on bin size and frequency of collection, Westport generates 
approximately 200 tonnes of waste annually.  Reducing the 
amount of waste sent to landfill remains a priority and we 
have launched employee education and awareness efforts to 
communicate the importance of minimizing the amount of 
waste generated.

We extend the opportunity for employees to recycle electronics, 
batteries, confidential paper, and some hazardous waste like 
paint through our waste minimization program.  

Our Facilities Engineering Group tracks the amount of waste 
recycled via our hazardous waste program, scrap materials 
collection and office waste initiatives.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS

MANAGEMENT’S diSCUSSiON & ANALYSiS

BASiS OF 
PRESENTATiON

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”)  for 
Westport Innovations Inc. (“Westport”, the “Company”, 
“we”, “us”, “our”) is intended to assist readers in analyzing 
our financial results and should be read in conjunction with

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 

WESTPORT iNNOVATiONS iNC. 2013 ANNUAL REPORT  »  11

MANAGEMENT’S diSCUSSiON & ANALYSiS  »  BUSiNESS OVERViEW

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 
$600 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 and responsibilities of the new reporting 
alignments are summarized below:

OPERATiNG RESULTS

For the year ended December 31, 2013, consolidated revenue 
increased $8.4 million, or 5%, to $164.0 million from $155.6 
million for the year ended December 31, 2012.  Increase 
in Applied Technologies revenue is primarily due to service 
revenue earned under development agreements.  On-Road 
Systems generated higher revenue due to launch of Westport 
iCE PACK in the fourth quarter of 2013, increased sales 
of the WiNG System as the product launch occurred in the 
second quarter of the prior year and revenue generated from 
BAF, offset by decreased shipments of the first generation 
Westport™ HPDI system and the bi-fuel systems for the V70 
bi-fuel wagon.  The increase in revenue was offset by a decrease 
in Corporate and Technology Investments revenue due to the 
one-time license revenue and higher service revenue under our 
development agreements received in the prior year period.

Consolidated net loss attributable to the Company for the 
year ended December 31, 2013 was $185.4 million, or $3.22 
loss per diluted share, compared to a $98.8 million net loss, 
or $1.83 loss per diluted share, for the year ended December 
31, 2012.  The $86.6 million increase in net loss was driven 

by increase in segment operating loss in Corporate and 
Technology Investments of $33.3 million, On-Road Systems 
of $18.9 million, Applied Technologies of $3.2 million, Off-
Road Systems of $0.6 million, net decrease in our share of 
equity income of $2.7 million from joint ventures, increase in 
depreciation and amortization of $4.9 million and impairment 
charges totaling $41.5 million, offset by a decrease in net 
interest expense of $1.3 million and net foreign exchange gains 
of $16.4 million.  

Included in our net loss for the year ended December 31, 
2013 are charges of $35.0 million in goodwill impairment, 
$21.4 million in warranty provision charges related to first 
generation Westport™ HPDI system, $4.9 million in inventory 
obsolescence, $4.8 million on loss on disposal of assets, $1.7 
million in intangible impairment offset by $15.2 million net 
foreign exchange gains attributed mainly to the movement 
in the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar, which is 
unrealized.  Excluding the impact of the charges and net foreign 
exchange gain, our net loss and net loss per share was $132.8 
million and $2.30, respectively. 

On October 1, 2013, we announced the closing of an offering 
of 6,000,000 Common Shares for gross proceeds of 
$152.3 million.

long-term debt within Emer totaling $3.7 million and repaid 
the amount payable to sellers of OMVL of $9.9 million.  We 
issued shares through a public share offering resulting in cash 
inflow of $147.3 million (net of share issuance costs) and issued 
shares through the exercise of stock options, which resulted in 
an additional $0.7 million in cash, received dividends from 
our joint ventures of $8.3 million, and $1.2 million in cash 
acquired as a result of the BAF acquisition.

CRiTiCAL 
ACCOUNTiNG POLiCiES 
ANd ESTiMATES

Our 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.  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 our accounting 
of CWI as 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 calendar 
year 2013 annual consolidated financial statements.  Actual 
amounts may vary significantly from estimates used.

VARiABLE iNTEREST ENTiTiES

A variable interest entity (“VIE”) is any type of legal structure 
not controlled by voting equity but rather by contractual 
and/or other financial arrangements.  Interests in VIEs are 
consolidated by the company that is the primary beneficiary.  
The Company’s interest in CWI is a VIE but it is determined 
that there is no primary beneficiary.

WARRANTY LiABiLiTY

Estimated warranty costs are recognized at the time we sell our 
products and included in cost of revenue.  We use historical 
failure rates and costs to repair product defects during the 
warranty period, together with information on known products 
to estimate the warranty liability.  The ultimate amount 
payable and the timing will depend on actual failure rates and 
the actual cost to repair.  We review our warranty provision 
quarterly and record adjustments to our assumptions based on 
the latest information available at that time.  Since a number 
of our products are new in the market, historical data may 
not necessarily reflect actual costs to be incurred, and this 
exposes the Company to potentially significant fluctuations 
in liabilities and our statement of operations.  New product 
launches require a greater use of judgment in developing 
estimates until claims experience becomes available.  Product 
specific experience is typically available four or five quarters 
after product launch, with a clear experience trend not evident 
until eight to twelve quarters after launch.  We generally record 

16  »  WESTPORT iNNOVATiONS iNC. 2013 ANNUAL REPORT

warranty expense for new products upon shipment using a 
factor based upon historical experience from previous engine 
generations in the first year, a blend of actual product and 
historical experience in the second year and product specific 
experience thereafter.  Adjustments to and estimated future 
direct warranty costs are accrued and charged to cost of revenue 
in the period when the related revenues are recognized while 
indirect warranty overhead salaries and related costs are charged 
to cost of revenue in the period incurred.

During the fourth quarter of 2013, a study of the historical data 
indicated that the cost to repair product defects continued to 
increase significantly primarily associated with our extended 
warranty contracts.  As a result, the Company recognized a 
change in estimate in our base warranty liability and a loss on 
our extended warranty contracts representing the excess of the 
estimated cost to service these contracts over the amount of the 
deferred revenue recognized associated with the contracts.      

REVENUE RECOGNiTiON
Product Revenue
Our primary source of revenue is from the sale of kits, Westport 
LNG systems and parts, and Westport CNG and LPG fuel 
systems for OEMs in the light-duty automotive and industrial 
markets.  Product and parts revenue is recognized when the 
products are shipped and title passes to the customer.  

Revenue from Research and Development
The Company also earns service revenue from research 
and development arrangements under which the Company 
provides contract services relating to developing natural gas 
engines or biogas engines for use in products and providing 
ongoing development services to assist with the development 
and commercialization of products.  These contracts provide 
for the payment for services based on our achieving defined 
milestones or on the performance of work under our product 
development programs.  Revenues are recognized using the 
milestone method based on assessment of progress achieved 
against the defined milestones.  Revenue may also be recognized 
using the proportionate performance method of accounting 
based on the performance of work under the research and 
development arrangement.  There is a risk that a customer may 
ultimately disagree with our assessment of the progress achieved 
against milestones or that our estimates of the percentage 
of work completed could change.  Should this occur, the 
revenues recognized in the period might require adjustment 
in a subsequent period.  All costs incurred related to revenue 
earned from research and development arrangements are 
recorded as research and development expense.

MANAGEMENT’S diSCUSSiON & ANALYSiS  »  CRiTiCAL ACCOUNTiNG POLiCiES ANd ESTiMATES

Revenue from Contracts

The Company earns revenue under certain contracts to provide 
engineering development services.  These contracts provide 
for the payment for services based on the performance of work 
under our product development programs.  Revenues are 
recognized under these contracts based on the percentage of 
completion method of accounting.  The components to measure 
of percentage of completion are complex and subject to many 
variables.  Components may include estimated costs to complete 
a contract, estimated hours to completion or management’s 
assessment of work to be performed.  When estimates of total 
costs to be incurred on a contract exceed total estimates of 
revenue to be earned, a provision for the entire loss on contract 
is recorded in the period the loss is determined.  There is a 
risk that the estimated percentage of completion of a contract 
may change, which may result in an adjustment to previously 
recognized revenues.  All costs incurred related to revenue 
earned from contracts are recorded in cost of products sold.

When an arrangement includes multiple deliverables, the 
Company allocates the consideration to each separate deliverable 
(unit of accounting) based on relative selling prices.  A separate 
unit of accounting is identified if the delivered item(s) have 
standalone value and the delivery or performance of undelivered 
items is considered probable and within the control of the 
Company.  Revenue for each unit of account is recognized in 
accordance with the above revenue recognition principles. 

License Revenue

Revenue from technology license fees is recognized over the 
duration of the licensing agreement.  Amounts received in 
advance of the revenue recognition criteria being met are 
recorded as deferred revenue.

iNVENTORiES

Inventories consist of fuel systems, component parts, work-
in-progress and finished goods associated with our Westport 
systems.  We carry inventory at the lower of weighted average 
cost and net realizable value.  In establishing whether or not a 
provision is required for inventory obsolescence, we estimate 
the likelihood that inventory carrying values will be affected by 
changes in market demand for our products and by changes 
in technology, which could make inventory on hand obsolete.  
We perform regular reviews to assess the impact of changes 
in technology, sales trends and other changes on the carrying 
value of inventory.  When we determine that such changes have 
occurred and would have a negative impact on the carrying 
value of inventory on hand, adequate provisions are recorded.  

Unforeseen changes in these factors could result in the 
recognition of additional inventory provisions.

PROPERTY, PLANT 
ANd EQUiPMENT ANd 
iNTANGiBLE ASSETS

We consider whether or not there has been an impairment 
in our long-lived assets, such as equipment, furniture and 
leasehold improvements and intangible assets, whenever events 
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value 
of the assets may not be recoverable.  If such assets are not 
recoverable, we are required to write down the assets to fair 
value.  When quoted market values are not available, we use the 
expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate 
with the risks associated with the recovery of the asset as an 
estimate of fair value to determine whether or not a write down 
is required.

Due to significant declining revenues from our customer 
contracts, driven by lower than expected adoption rate of 
natural gas vehicles, we performed an impairment analysis of 
our intangible assets as of November 30, 2013.  We determined 
that the sum of the estimated future undiscounted net cash 
flows for one of the reporting units in the On-Road Systems 
segment related to customer contracts was less than the carrying 
amount at November 30, 2013.  Based on the negative value of 
the undiscounted net cash flows, an impairment charge of $1.7 
million was recorded to reduce the carrying value of customer 
contracts in our intangible assets.

STOCK-BASEd COMPENSATiON

We account for stock-based compensation related to stock 
options, Performance Share Units (“PSUs”) and Restricted 
Share Units (“RSUs”) granted to employees and directors using 
the fair value method.  The resulting compensation expense for 
stock options is calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation 
method net of estimated forfeitures and is recognized in results 
from operations over the period in which the related employee 
services are rendered.  We account for performance shares by 
calculating the fair value using a Monte-Carlo simulation and 
RSUs by calculating the fair value based on the market price 
of the Company’s common shares on the date of grant.  The 
compensation expense is recorded in the period it is earned, 
which generally is the period over which the units vest.

GOOdWiLL

We do not amortize goodwill but instead test it annually for 
impairment, or more frequently when events or changes in 
circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired.  This 
impairment test is performed annually at November 30.  We 
use a two-step test to identify the potential impairment and 
to measure the amount of impairment, if any.  The first step 
is to compare the fair value of the reporting unit with its 
carrying amount, including goodwill.  If the fair value of the 
reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is not 
considered impaired; otherwise, goodwill is impaired and the 
loss is measured by performing step two.  Under step two, the 
impairment loss is measured by comparing the implied fair 
value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount 
of goodwill.  We determine fair value using widely accepted 
valuation techniques, including discounted cash flows and market 
multiple analyses.  These types of analyses contain uncertainties 
because they require management to make assumptions and to 
apply judgment to estimate industry economic factors and the 
profitability of future business strategies. 

We tested our goodwill for impairment as at November 30, 
2013 and determined that the carrying values of a reporting 
unit in the Applied Technology segment and a reporting unit 
in the On-Road Systems segment exceeded the fair values.  
Consequently, in the fourth quarter of December 31, 2013, 
we recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $30.1 
million and $4.9 million in the Applied Technology segment 
and the On-Road Systems segment respectively.  The goodwill 
impairment charges are driven by declining revenues due to the 
adverse economic climate in Europe and lower than expected 
adoption rate of natural gas vehicles in selected markets.  Both 
of these factors resulted in a decline of our projected cash flows 
of the reporting units, leading to a goodwill impairment charge 
for both reporting units.

During the year, we acquired BAF and its subsidiary, ServoTech 
which generated $18.5 million of goodwill.  We allocated the 
goodwill to one of the reporting units within the On-Road 
Systems segment.  We tested this goodwill balance for impairment 
as at November 30, 2013 and determined the goodwill balance 
was not impaired.  Step 1 testing results show that the fair value of 
the reporting unit exceeded the carrying value.

BALANCE ShEET

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board 
(“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Updated (“ASU”) No. 
2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and 
Liabilities (“ASU»2011-11”).  ASU 2011-11 enhances disclosures 
regarding financial instruments and derivative instruments.  
Entities are required to provide both net information and gross 
information for these assets and liabilities in order to enhance 
comparability between those entities that prepare their financial 
statements on the basis of U.S. GAAP and those entities that 
prepare their financial statements on the basis of International 
Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).  In January 2013, the 
FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01 (“ASU»2013-01”), to clarify 
the scope of the new offsetting disclosures in ASU 2011-11.  
The ASU clarifies that the scope includes bifurcated embedded 
derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase 
agreements, and securities borrowing and lending agreements 
subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreements.  
These updates were effective for the Company on January 1, 
2013.  The adoption of the updates did not have a material 
impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

COMPREhENSiVE iNCOME

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, 
Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of 
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU»2013-02”).  ASU 
2013-02 improves the reporting of reclassifications out 
of accumulated other comprehensive income.  Entities are 
required to report the effect of significant reclassifications out 
of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective 
line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is 
required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to 
net income.  For other amounts that are not required under 
U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income 
in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-
reference other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that 
provide additional detail about those amounts.  This update was 
effective for the Company on January 1, 2013.  The adoption 
of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s 
consolidated financial statements.

iNCOME TAXES

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes 
(Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating 
Loss Carry forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists 
(“ASU»2013-11”).  ASU 2013-11 purpose is to eliminate the 
diversity in the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits.  
Entities are required to present any unrecognized tax benefit 
as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss 
carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward.  In 
circumstances where a net operating loss carryforward, a similar 
tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the 
reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction 
to settle any additional income taxes that would result from 
the disallowance of a tax position, the unrecognized tax benefit 
should be presented in the financial statements as a liability 
and should not be combined with deferred tax assets.  This new 
guidance is to be applied prospectively effective on January 1, 
2014.  The adoption of this standard will not have a material 
impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

processed, summarized and reported within the time periods 
specified therein and accumulated and reported to management 
to allow timely discussions regarding required disclosure.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON 
iNTERNAL CONTROL OVER 
FiNANCiAL REPORTiNG

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and 
maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, 
as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the 
Exchange Act.  Our internal control over financial reporting is 
designed under our supervision, and affected by the Company’s 
board of directors, management, and other personnel, to 
provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of 
financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s 
consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes 
in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the requirements of the 
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as applicable.  
There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of internal 
control over financial reporting, including the possibility that 
misstatements may not be prevented or detected.  Accordingly, 
even effective internal controls over financial reporting can 
provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial 
statement preparation.  Furthermore, the effectiveness of 
internal controls can change with circumstances.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed and 
operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance 
that the control system’s objectives will be met.  Because of the 
inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of 
controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues 
have been detected.  The design of any system of controls is based 
in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future 
events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed 
in achieving its stated goals under potential future conditions, 
regardless of how remote.  Therefore, even those systems 
determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance 
with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

REMEdiATiON PLAN 

As previously reported in the Company’s Annual Report for the 
year ended December 31, 2012, we had identified a material 
weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial 
reporting related to our equity method investment in CWI, 
specifically resulting in the Company changing its determination 
of the primary beneficiary in connection with the application 
of Accounting Standards Update 2009-17, Consolidation (Topic 

WESTPORT iNNOVATiONS iNC. 2013 ANNUAL REPORT  »  19

MANAGEMENT’S diSCUSSiON & ANALYSiS  »  FiNANCiAL OVERViEW—RESULTS FROM OPERATiONS

810):  Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises with Variable Interest 
Entities, (“ASU»2009-17”).  To remediate the material weakness 
in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting, the 
Company implemented the following procedures:

1  We have implemented the procedure of consulting third 
party advisors with appropriate expertise on complex 
accounting issues.  

2  We have increased U.S. GAAP training for accounting person-
nel involved in financial reporting through the attendance of 
technical accounting workshops and training courses.

As of December 31, 2013, management believes this material 
weakness has been remediated.

Management, including the CEO and CFO, has evaluated the 
effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as 
defined in Rules 13a–15(f) and 15d–15(f) of the Exchange Act, 
in relation to criteria described in Internal Control–Integrated 
Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring 
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).  As 
allowed by National Instrument 52-109 - Certification of 
Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings and SEC 
guidance, management excluded from its assessment the 
2013 acquisition of BAF, which accounted for 7% of total 
assets and 10% of total revenues as of and for the year ended 
December 31, 2013.  Based on this evaluation, Management has 
determined that internal control over financial reporting was 
effective as of December 31, 2013.  

KPMG LLP, our independent registered public accounting 
firm, has audited our consolidated financial statements and 
expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.  KPMG has also 
expressed an unmodified opinion on the effective operation of 
our internal control over financial reporting as of December 
31, 2013.

Applied»Technologies revenue for the year ended December 
31, 2013 increased $1.5 million, or 2%, to $93.2 million 
from $91.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.  
The increase in revenue was driven by stronger sales in Russia 
and China and service revenue earned under development 
agreements, offset by lower sales in Europe, South America and 
South Asia.

On-Road»Systems revenue for the year ended December 31, 
2013 increased $17.5 million, or 47% from $37.6 million to 
$55.1 million.  The increase in revenue is primarily due to 
launch of Westport iCE PACK in the fourth quarter of 2013, 
increased sales of the WiNG System as the product launch 
occurred in the second quarter of the prior year and revenue 
generated from BAF offset by decreased shipments of the first 
generation Westport™ HPDI system and the bi-fuel systems for 
the V70 bi-fuel wagon.  On-Road Systems parts revenue for 
the year ended December 31, 2013 increased $10.2 million to 
$13.6 million compared with $3.4 million for the year ended 
December 31, 2012 primarily due to parts revenue generated 
from BAF.

Off-Road»Systems revenue for the year ended December 31, 
2013 increased $0.2 million, or 6%, from $3.1 million to 
$3.3 million due to increased shipments of Westport™ 2.4L 
industrial engines to forklift and oilfield customers.

Corporate»and»Technology»Investments revenue for the 
year ended December 31, 2013 decreased $10.8 million, or 
47% from $23.2 million to $12.4 million.  The decrease is 
primarily driven by one-time license revenue of $8.0 million 
recognized in the prior year for the transfer of the proprietary 
know-how related to the HPDI technology.  All costs associated 
with our development agreements were recorded as research 
and development expenses in the period incurred in the

of 10,314 units compared to $161.7 million and 6,804 units 
for the year ended December 31, 2012, which was primarily 
attributed to the launch of the ISX12 G heavy duty truck engine 
in April contributing to the increased volumes in North 
America.  CWI parts revenue for the year ended December 31, 
2013 was $49.6 million compared with $36.3 million for the

2012 increased $36.6 million, or 66%, to $91.7 million from 
$55.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2011.  
The increase in revenue was driven by six additional months 
of contributions from Emer as we began consolidating Emer 
on July 1, 2011 and contributions from AFV since we began 
consolidating AFV in the fourth quarter of the prior year period.

On-Road»Systems revenue for the year ended December 31, 
2012 increased $16.8 million, or 81% from $20.8 million 
to $37.6 million.  The increase in revenues was driven by 
increased shipments of first generation Westport™ HPDI system 
for the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the nine 
months ended December 31, 2011, from the launch of the 
F-250/F-350 bi-fuel Super Duty truck in the United States 
and increased revenue generated from the Volvo V-70 bi-fuel 
CNG Wagon.  On-Road Systems parts revenue for the twelve 
months ended December 31, 2012 increased $1.1 million to 
$3.4 million compared with $2.3 million for the nine months

ended December 31, 2012 increased $13.0 million, or 127% 
from $10.2 million to $23.2 million.  Included in the year 
ended December 31, 2012 was one-time license revenue of 
$8.0 million for the transfer of the proprietary know-how 
related to the HPDI technology and other fee payments of $1.4 
million.  We recognized $13.9 million under our development 
agreements for the twelve months ended December 31, 
2012 compared with $10.2 million for the nine months 
ended December 31, 2011 due to the timing of delivering 
certain milestones during the periods.  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 year ended December 31, 2012 increased 
$59.2 million, or 43% from $138.8 million to $198.0 million.  
CWI product revenue for the twelve months ended December 
31, 2012 increased $47.2 million, or 41%, to $161.7 million 
on sales of 6,804 units compared to $114.5 million and 4,692 
units for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, which was 
primarily attributed to higher sales volume of ISL G engines in 
the Americas and sales of engines in Asia and Latin America.  
CWI parts revenue for the twelve months ended December 
31, 2012 was $36.3 million compared with $24.3 million for

Applied»Technologies gross margin increased $1.2 million 
to $26.5 million, or 28.4% of revenue, for the year ended 
December 31, 2013 compared to $25.3 million, or 27.6% of 
revenue for the year ended December 31, 2012.  The increase in 
gross margin percentage is due to a change in product mix during 
the period and service revenue recorded at 100% gross margin.  

On-Road»Systems gross margin decreased $28.0 million to 
negative $23.9 million, or negative 43.4% of revenue from 
$4.1 million, or 10.9% of revenue for the year ended December 
31, 2012.  Gross margin for the year ended December 31, 
2013 includes $26.3 million of warranty adjustment and 
inventory obsolescence provision.  The incremental decrease 
in gross margin percentage was due to lower absorption of fixed 
overhead costs, product mix and negative warranty adjustments 
and inventory obsolescence provisions on the first generation 
Westport™ HPDI system during the period.  Excluding this 
warranty adjustment and inventory provision, gross margin and 
gross margin percentage would have been $2.4 million, or 4.4%. 

Corporate»and»Technology»Investments gross margin 
decreased $10.9 million from $23.2 million to $12.3 million.  
The decrease is primarily driven by one-time license revenue 
of $8.0 million recognized in the prior year period.  The gross 
margin percentage was 100% in both periods as Corporate 
and Technology Investments gross margin relates entirely to 
service revenue and revenue earned under our development 
agreements and other fee payments.

CWI gross margin increased $2.8 million to $64.2 million, or 
20.7% of revenue from $61.4 million or 31.0% of revenue.  
CWI product margin and product gross margin percentage 
for the year ended December 31, 2013 were $42.7 million and 
16.4%, respectively, compared to $46.5 million and 28.8%, 
respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2012.  This 
decrease in CWI gross margin percentage was due primarily to 
an increase of $20.5 million in net warranty adjustments and 
net extended coverage claims and mix of sales compared to the 
year ended December 31, 2012.  Warranty adjustments and net 
extended coverage claims totaling $36.8 million were recorded 
in the year ended December 31, 2013.  Excluding the warranty 
related impact, CWI gross margin percentage would have been 
32.5%.  CWI parts gross margin percentage was 43.5% for the 
year ended December 31, 2013 compared to 41.3% for the year 
ended December 31, 2012.

WWI gross margin increased $12.5 million to $37.3 million, 
or 8.0% of revenue from $24.8 million or 9.1% of revenue.  
The decrease in gross margin percentage related primarily to 
product mix and product pricing which remains discounted as 
WWI penetrates new markets and builds market share.

to $25.3 million, or 27.6% of revenue, for the year ended 
December 31, 2012 compared to $11.1 million, or 20.1% of 
revenue for the nine months ended December 31, 2011.  The 
increase in gross margin percentage is due to contributions 
from Emer representing a higher proportion of the revenue, 
and we consolidated Emer for twelve months in 2012 versus six 

MANAGEMENT’S diSCUSSiON & ANALYSiS  »  FiNANCiAL OVERViEW—RESULTS FROM OPERATiONS

months in the comparative period.  Emer has a higher gross 
margin percentage relative to OMVL due to customer mix and 
economies of scale.

On-Road»Systems gross margin increased $4.8 million to $4.1 
million, or 10.9% of revenue, from negative $0.7 million, 
or negative 3.4% of revenue, for the nine months ended 
December 31, 2011.  The increase in gross margin percentage 
was due primarily to business mix with the launch of the 
WING System as well as launch customer pricing on the first 
generation Westport™ HPDI system, and materials variance 
on certain shipments during the nine month period ended 
December 31, 2011. 

Corporate»and»Technology»Investments gross margin 
increased $13.0 million from $10.2 million to $23.2 million.  
The increase is primarily driven by one-time license revenue of 
$8.0 million and other fee payments of $1.4 million recognized 
for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012.  The gross 
margin percentage was 100% in both periods as Corporate 
gross margin relates entirely to license revenue and revenue 
earned under our development agreements. 

CWI gross margin increased $1.4 million to $61.4 million, 
or 31.0% of revenue, from $60.0 million or 43.2% of 
revenue.  CWI product margin and product gross margin 
percentage for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 
were $46.5 million and 28.8%, respectively, compared to $51.0 
million and 44.5%, respectively, for the nine months ended 
December 31, 2011.  This decrease in gross margin percentage 
was due primarily to warranty adjustments and net extended 
coverage claims totaling $16.3 million recorded in the year 
ended December 31, 2012.  Excluding these warranty related 
adjustments, CWI’s gross margin percentage would have been 
39.2%.  CWI parts gross margin percentage was 41.3% for the 
twelve months ended December 31, 2012 compared to 37.0% 
for the nine months ended December 31, 2011.

WWI gross margin increased $15.5 million to $24.8 million, 
or 9.1% of revenue, from $9.3 million, or 11.0% of revenue.  
The decrease in gross margin percentage related primarily to 
business mix with a high proportion of engine sales at a lower 
range of engine displacement.

Applied»Technologies SG&A expenses increased $4.7 million 
due to the comparison of a twelve month period against a 
nine month prior period and the acquisition of Emer, which 
resulted in a year’s of expenses recognized in 2012 compared 
with six months of expenses in the comparative period, since 
the acquisition occurred on July 1, 2011.  

On-Road»Systems SG&A expenses increased $9.6 million 
due to the comparison of a twelve month period against a nine 
month prior period and increased expenses due to the launch 
of the F-Series Super Duty products, increased field support 
expenses related to the first generation Westport™ HPDI system 
due to higher volumes, more units in the field and the costs 
related to running our Sweden operations for a full year versus 
two months in the comparative period.

Off-Road»Systems SG&A expenses increased $8.4 million due 
to market development initiatives for Off-Road applications 
and OEM activities in China.

Corporate»and»Technology»Investments SG&A expenses 
increased $14.2 million primarily due to an increase in 
salaries and benefits related to higher headcount to support 
new programs and global market development efforts, higher 
professional services and facilities costs and by the additional 
three months in comparing the twelve month period to the nine 
month period.

improvements for current products.

WWI operating expenses were $22.8 million for the year ended 
December 31, 2013 compared with $15.0 million for the year

CWI operating expenses were $26.1 million for the twelve 
months ended December 31, 2012 compared with $17.2 
million for the nine months ended December 31, 2011.  The 
$8.9 million increase was primarily due to the additional 
three months in comparing the twelve month period to the 
nine month period, higher material and salary related costs 
associated with product development and an increase in policy 
expense, market development support and travel expenditures.

WWI operating expenses were $15.0 million for the twelve months 
ended December 31, 2012 compared with $4.5 million for the 
nine months ended December 31, 2011.  The increase relates 
primarily to higher product development costs and increased 
salary, facilities and support costs associated with rapid growth.

FOREiGN EXChANGE 
GAiNS ANd LOSSES

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 year ended December 31, 
2013, we recognized a net foreign exchange gain of $15.2 million 
with the movement in the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. 
dollar.  A majority of the foreign exchange loss for the year ended 
December 31, 2013 is unrealized.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, we recognized a net 
foreign exchange loss of $1.2 million with the movement in the 
Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar.  This compares to a 
net foreign exchange gain of $2.1 million for the nine months 
ended December 31, 2011.

ended December 31, 2012 and $6.2 million for the nine months 
ended December 31, 2011.  The increases primarily related to 
depreciation of property and equipment purchases and the in-
tangible assets acquired in the BAF, Emer and AFV acquisitions.

non cash interest expense.

Interest on long-term debt for the twelve months ended 
December 31, 2012 of $5.4 million is higher compared to the 
nine months ended December 31, 2011 due to the additional 
three months interest expense and amortization of deferred 
financing costs on the CDN $36.0 million debentures issued 
on September 30, 2011 in comparing the twelve month period 
to the nine month period.

iNCOME TAX EXPENSE

Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 
was $0.9 million compared to an income tax expense of 
$1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 and an 
income tax recovery of $1.2 million for the nine months ended 
December 31, 2011. 

The decrease for the year ended December 31, 2013 primarily 
relates to lower distributable earnings from our investment in 
CWI and a recovery of deferred income tax liability relating to the 
goodwill impairment charge.  The increase in income tax expense 
for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 compared to 
the nine months ended December 31, 2011 primarily relates to 
higher distributable earnings from our investment in CWI and 
higher taxable income in Emer and OMVL.

As at December 31, 2013, our cash, cash equivalents and 
short-term investment position was $210.6 million, a decrease 
of $5.3 million from $215.9 million at December 31, 2012.  
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.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, our cash used in 
operations was $116.8 million.  Cash used in operations before 
changes in non-cash working capital, a non-GAAP measure, was 
$135.9 million.  Changes in non-cash working capital resulted 
in an increase of $19.1 million.  The $19.1 million change in 
working capital was impacted by increases in accounts receivable 
of $12.3 million, warranty liability of $22.6 million and 
deferred revenue of $5.2 million, offset by decreases in accounts 
payable and accrued liabilities of $2.1 million, inventory of 
$5.2 million and prepaid expenses of $0.5 million.  Cash 
used in investing activities included purchase of fixed assets of 
$26.5 million, net purchase of short-term investments of $5.8 
million, offset by $8.3 million in dividends received from joint 
ventures and $1.2 million in cash acquired as result of the BAF 
acquisition.  Cash provided by financing activities included 
$147.3 million, net of share issuance costs, raised in a public 
share offering and $0.7 million in shares issued for stock option 
exercises, offset by repayment of a portion of the long-term debt 
within Emer of $3.7 million and repayment of amount payable 
to the sellers of OMVL of $9.9 million.

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.

To date, we have not made any material expenditure related to 
the use of proceeds disclosed in the public offering.   

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.

SUMMARY OF QUARTERLY 
RESULTS ANd diSCUSSiON 
OF ThE QUARTER 
ENdEd dEC. 31, 2013
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.

Table 28 provides summary unaudited consolidated financial 
data for our last eight quarters.

ThREE MONThS ENdEd 
dECEMBER 31, 2013 ANd 2012

Our consolidated revenue for the three months ended 
December 31, 2013 was $52.6 million, an increase of $12.7 
million, or 31.8%, from $39.9 million for the three months 
ended December 31, 2012.  On-Road Systems generated higher 
revenue due to launch of Westport iCE PACK in the fourth 
quarter of 2013, increased sales of the WiNG System and of 
the first generation Westport™ HPDI system, and revenue 
generated from BAF.  This increase in revenue was offset by 
a decrease in Corporate and Technology Investments revenue 
due to higher service revenue earned under our development 
agreements in the prior year period.

Our consolidated net loss for the three months ended 
December 31, 2013 was $89.5 million, or a loss of $1.42 per 
diluted share, compared to a net loss of $37.6 million, or a 
loss of $0.68 per diluted share, for the three months ended 
December 31, 2012.

Included in our net loss for the three months ended December 31, 
2013 are charges of $35.0 million in goodwill impairment, $21.4 
million in warranty provision charges related to first generation 
Westport™ HPDI system, $4.9 million in inventory obsolescence, 
$4.8 million on loss on disposal of assets, $1.7 million in 
intangible impairment offset by $10.1 million net foreign exchange 
gains attributed mainly to the movement in the Canadian dollar 
relative to the U.S. dollar, which is unrealized.  Excluding the 
impact of the charges and net foreign exchange gain, our net loss 
and net loss per share was $31.8 million and $0.51, respectively.

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 SEDAR.COM and 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 year ended December 31, 2013 under the heading “Risk 
Factors” and is available on SEDAR at SEDAR.COM.

 
NON-GAAP MEASURES

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

REPORT OF 
iNdEPENdENT 
REGiSTEREd PUBLiC 
ACCOUNTiNG FiRM

To the Shareholders of Westport Innovations Inc.

We have audited Westport Innovations Inc.’s (“the»Company”)  
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 
2013, based on the criteria established in Internal Control-
Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of 
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission 
(“COSO”).  The Company’s management is responsible 
for maintaining effective internal control over financial 
reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of 
internal control over financial reporting, included in the 
accompanying Management’s Report on Financial Statements 
and Assessment of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.  
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s 
internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the 
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal 
control over financial reporting was maintained in all material 
respects.  Our audit included obtaining an understanding of 
internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that 
a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design 
and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the 
assessed risk.  Our audit also included performing such other 
procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.  
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our 
opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a 
process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding 
the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of 
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with 
generally accepted accounting principles.  A company’s internal 
control over financial reporting includes those policies and 
procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records 
that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the 
transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) 
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded 
as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in 
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and 
that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made 

REPORTS

only in accordance with authorizations of management and 
directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance 
regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized 
acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that 
could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over 
financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future 
periods are subject to the risk that controls may become 
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree 
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material 
respects, effective internal control over financial reporting 
as of December 31, 2013, based on the criteria established 
in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (1992) issued by 
the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway 
Commission (COSO).

The Company acquired BAF Technologies Inc. during the year 
ended December 31, 2013, and management excluded from 
its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal 
controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013 BAF 
Technologies Inc.’s internal controls over financial reporting 
associated with assets representing 7% of consolidated total 
assets and revenues representing 10% of consolidated total 
revenues included in the consolidated financial statements of 
the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013.  
Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of the 
Company also excludes an evaluation of internal controls over 
financial reporting of BAF Technologies Inc.

We also have conducted our audits on the consolidated financial 
statements in accordance with Canadian generally accepted 
auditing standards and the standards of Public Company 
Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Our report dated 
February 25, 2014 expressed an unmodified (unqualified) 
opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

1  COMPANY ORGANiZATiON 

ANd OPERATiONS

2  SiGNiFiCANT 

ACCOUNTiNG POLiCiES

Westport Innovations Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated 
under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) on March 20, 
1995.

The Company is a provider of high-performance, low-
emission engine and fuel system technologies utilizing gaseous 
fuels.  Its technology and products enable light (<5.9 litre), 
medium (5.9 to 10 litre), heavy-duty (11 to 16 litre) and high 
horsepower (>16 litre) petroleum-based fuel engines to use 
primarily natural gas, giving users a cleaner, more plentiful and 
generally less expensive alternative fuel.  

The Company is focused on developing technology to 
enable more environmentally sustainable engines without 
compromising the performance, fuel economy, durability and 
reliability of diesel engines.  The substitution of natural gas for 
petroleum-based fuel drives a significant reduction in harmful 
combustion emissions, such as nitrogen oxides, particulate 
matter and greenhouse gas, in addition to using an abundant, 
relatively inexpensive alternative fuel.  The Company’s systems 
can be used to enable combustion engines to use gaseous 
fuels, such as natural gas, propane, renewable natural gas or 
hydrogen.  The Company’s research and development effort 
and investment have resulted in a substantial patent portfolio 
that serves as the foundation for its differentiated technology 
offerings and competitive advantage.

a  Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts 
of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and variable 
interest entities (“VIEs”) for which the Company is considered 
the primary beneficiary.  All Intercompany balances and 
transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

These consolidated financial statements are presented in 
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the 
United States (“U.S.»GAAP”).

b  Foreign currency translation

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.  

NOTES TO CONSOLidATEd FiNANCiAL STATEMENTS
expressed in thousands of United States dollars, except share and per share amounts  »  years ended dec. 31, 2013 and 2012 and the 9 months ended dec. 31, 2011

Transactions that are denominated in currencies other than 
the functional currency of the Company’s operations or its 
subsidiaries are translated at the rate 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 rate 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 financial 
statements are presented in U.S. dollars.  For the periods 
presented, the Company used the following exchange rates:

c  Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash, term deposits, 
bankers acceptances and guaranteed investment certificates 
with maturities of ninety days or less when acquired.  Cash 
equivalents are considered as held for trading and recorded 
at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in the 
consolidated statements of operations.

d  Short-term investments

Short-term investments, consisting of investment grade 
commercial paper, banker acceptances, bearer deposit notes, 
guaranteed investment certificates and other term deposits, 
are considered available for sale and recorded at fair value 
with changes in fair value recognized in accumulated other 
comprehensive income until realized.  A decline in value that 
is considered other than temporary is recognized in net loss for 
the period.

e  Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are measured at amortized cost.  An 
allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded based on a review 

of specific accounts deemed uncollectible.  Account balances 
are charged against the allowance in the period in which it is 
considered probable that the receivable will not be recovered.

f 

inventories

The Company’s inventories consist of the Company’s fuel 
system products (finished goods), work-in-progress, purchased 
parts and assembled parts.  Inventories are recorded at the 
lower of cost and net realizable value.  Cost is determined 
based on the lower of weighted average cost and net realizable 
value.  The cost of fuel system product inventories, assembled 
parts and work-in-progress includes materials, labour and 
production overhead including depreciation.  An inventory 
obsolescence provision is provided to the extent cost of 
inventory exceeds net realizable value.  In establishing the 
amount of the inventory obsolescence provision, management 
estimates the likelihood that inventory carrying values will be 
affected by changes in market demand and technology, which 
would make inventory on hand obsolete.

g  Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation 
is provided as follows:

h  Long-term investments

The Company accounts for investments in which it has 
significant influence, including VIEs for which the Company 
is not the primary beneficiary, using the equity basis of 
accounting.  Under the equity method, the Company 
recognizes its share of income from equity accounted for 
investees in the statement of operations with a corresponding 
increase in long-term investments.  Any dividends paid or 
payable are credited against long-term investments.

i  Financial liabilities

Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, short-term debt and 
long-term debt are measured at amortized cost.  Transaction 
costs relating to long-term debt are deferred in other assets on 

WESTPORT iNNOVATiONS iNC. 2013 ANNUAL REPORT  »  39

 
NOTES TO CONSOLidATEd FiNANCiAL STATEMENTS
expressed in thousands of United States dollars, except share and per share amounts  »  years ended dec. 31, 2013 and 2012 and the 9 months ended dec. 31, 2011

initial recognition and are amortized using the effective interest 
rate method. 

j  Research and development costs

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and 
are recorded net of government funding received or receivable.

k  Government assistance

The Company periodically applies for financial assistance 
under available government incentive programs, which is 
recorded in the period it is received or receivable.  Government 
assistance relating to the purchase of property, plant and 
equipment is reflected as a reduction of the cost of such assets.  
Government assistance related to research and development 
activities is recorded as a reduction of the related expenditures.

l 

intangible assets

Intangible assets consist primarily of the cost of intellectual 
property, trademarks, technology, customer contracts and non-
compete agreements.  Intangible assets are amortized over their 
estimated useful lives, which range from 5 to 20 years.

m  impairment of long-lived assets

The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment, 
including property, plant and equipment, and intellectual 
property, to be held and used whenever events or changes in 
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets 
may not be recoverable.  If such conditions exist, assets are 
considered impaired if the sum of the undiscounted expected 
future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual 
disposition of an asset is less than its carrying amount.  An 
impairment loss is measured at the amount by which the 
carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.  When 
quoted market prices are not available, the Company uses the 
expected future cash flows discounted at a rate commensurate 
with the risks associated with the recovery of the asset as an 
estimate of fair value.

n  Goodwill impairment

Goodwill is recorded at the time of purchase for the excess of 
the amount of the purchase price over the fair values of the 
identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.  Goodwill 
is not amortized and instead is tested at least annually for 
impairment, or more frequently when events or changes in 
circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired.  This 

40  »  WESTPORT iNNOVATiONS iNC. 2013 ANNUAL REPORT

impairment test is performed annually at November 30.  
Future adverse changes in market conditions or poor operating 
results of underlying assets could result in an inability to 
recover the carrying value of the goodwill, thereby possibly 
requiring an impairment charge.

A two-step test is used to identify a potential impairment 
and to measure the amount of impairment, if any.  The first 
step is to compare the fair value of the reporting unit with 
its carrying amount, including goodwill.  If the fair value of 
the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill is 
considered not impaired; otherwise, goodwill is impaired and 
the loss is measured by performing step two.  Under step two, 
the impairment loss is measured by comparing the implied fair 
value of the reporting unit goodwill with the carrying amount of 
goodwill.

Fair value is determined using widely accepted valuation 
techniques, including discounted cash flows and market 
multiple analyses.  These types of analyses contain uncertainties 
because they require management to make assumptions and to 
apply judgment to estimate industry economic factors and the 
profitability of future business strategies.  

o  Warranty liability

Estimated warranty costs are recognized at the time the 
Company sells its products and are included in cost of revenue.  
The Company provides warranty coverage on products sold 
for a period ending two years from the date the products are 
put into service by customers.  Warranty liability represents 
the Company’s best estimate of warranty costs expected to be 
incurred during the warranty period.  Furthermore, the current 
portion of warranty liability represents the Company’s best 
estimate of the costs to be incurred in the next twelve-month 
period.  The Company uses historical failure rates and cost to 
repair defective products together with known information to 
estimate the warranty liability.  New product launches require 
a greater use of judgment in developing estimates until claims 
experience becomes available.  Product specific experience is 
typically available four or five quarters after product launch, 
with a clear experience trend not evident until eight to twelve 
quarters after launch.  The Company records warranty expense 
for new products upon shipment using a factor based upon 
historical experience from previous engine generations in the 
first year, a blend of actual product and historical experience in 
the second year and product specific experience thereafter.  The 
amount payable by the Company and the timing will depend 
on actual failure rates and cost to repair failures of its products.  
Since a number of the Company’s products are new in the 

NOTES TO CONSOLidATEd FiNANCiAL STATEMENTS
expressed in thousands of United States dollars, except share and per share amounts  »  years ended dec. 31, 2013 and 2012 and the 9 months ended dec. 31, 2011

market, historical data may not necessarily reflect actual costs 
to be incurred and may result in significant fluctuations in the 
warranty liability. 

p  Extended warranty

The Company sells extended warranty contracts that provide 
coverage in addition to the basic two-year coverage.  Proceeds 
from the sale of these contracts are deferred and amortized 
over the extended warranty period commencing at the end of 
the basic warranty period.  On a periodic basis, management 
reviews the estimated costs expected to be incurred related to 
servicing these contracts and recognizes a loss to the extent such 
costs exceed the related deferred revenue.  Extended warranty 
costs are expensed as period costs as incurred.  

q  Revenue recognition

Product revenue

The Company’s primary source of revenue is from the sale of 
kits, Westport LNG systems and parts, and Westport CNG and 
LPG fuel systems for OEMs in the light-duty automotive and 
industrial markets.  Product and parts revenue is recognized 
when the products are shipped and title passes to the customer.  

Revenue from research and development

The Company also earns service revenue from research 
and development arrangements under which the Company 
provides contract services relating to developing natural gas 
engines or biogas engines for use in products and providing 
ongoing development services to assist with the development 
and commercialization of products.  These contracts provide 
for the payment for services based on our achieving defined 
milestones or on the performance of work under product 
development programs.  Revenues are recognized using the 
milestone method based on assessment of progress achieved 
against the defined milestones.  Revenue may also be recognized 
using the proportionate performance method of accounting 
based on the performance of work under the research and 
development arrangement.  There is a risk that a customer may 
ultimately disagree with our assessment of the progress achieved 
against milestones or that our estimates of the percentage 
of work completed could change.  Should this occur, the 
revenues recognized in the period might require adjustment 
in a subsequent period.  All costs incurred related to revenue 
earned from research and development arrangements are 
recorded as research and development expense.

Revenue from contracts

The Company earns revenue under certain contracts to provide 
engineering development services.  These contracts provide 
for the payment for services based on the performance of 
work under product development programs.  Revenues are 
recognized under these contracts based on the percentage 
of completion method of accounting.  The components to 
measure of percentage of completion are complex and subject 
to many variables.  Components may include estimated costs 
to complete a contract, estimated hours to completion or 
management’s assessment of work to be performed.  When 
estimates of total costs to be incurred on a contract exceed total 
estimates of revenue to be earned, a provision for the entire loss 
on contract is recorded in the period the loss is determined.  
There is a risk that the estimated percentage of completion of 
a contract may change, which may result in an adjustment to 
previously recognized revenues.  All costs incurred related to 
revenue earned from contracts are recorded in cost of products 
sold.

When an arrangement includes multiple deliverables, 
the Company allocates the consideration to each separate 
deliverable (unit of accounting) based on relative selling prices.  
A separate unit of accounting is identified if the delivered 
item(s) have standalone value and the delivery or performance 
of undelivered items is considered probable and within the 
control of the Company.  Revenue for each unit of account is 
recognized in accordance with the above revenue recognition 
principles. 

License revenue

Revenue from technology license fees is recognized over the 
duration of the licensing agreement.  Amounts received in 
advance of the revenue recognition criteria being met are 
recorded as deferred revenue.

r 

income taxes:

The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting 
for income taxes.  Under this method, deferred income tax 
assets and liabilities are determined based on temporary 
differences between the accounting and tax basis of the assets 
and liabilities and for loss carry forwards and are measured 
using the tax rates expected to apply when these tax assets and 
liabilities are recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax 
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rate is recognized in 
income in the period that includes income tax laws that have 
been enacted at the balance sheet date.  A valuation allowance

NOTES TO CONSOLidATEd FiNANCiAL STATEMENTS
expressed in thousands of United States dollars, except share and per share amounts  »  years ended dec. 31, 2013 and 2012 and the 9 months ended dec. 31, 2011

is provided to reduce the deferred income tax assets if, based 
upon available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some 
or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized.

Tax credits, including investment tax credits and research and 
development credits, are recognized in income tax expense in 
the same year in which the related expenditures are charged 
to earnings or loss, provided there is reasonable assurance the 
benefits will be realized.

net income.  For other amounts that are not required under 
U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income 
in the same reporting period, an entity is required to cross-
reference other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that 
provide additional detail about those amounts.  This update was 
effective for the Company on January 1, 2013.  The adoption 
of this update did not have a material impact on the Company’s 
consolidated financial statements.

b  New accounting pronouncements

3  ACCOUNTiNG ChANGES

Income taxes

a  Adoption of new 

accounting standards

Balance sheet

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board 
(“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Updated (“ASU”) No. 
2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and 
Liabilities (“ASU»2011-11”).  ASU 2011-11 enhances disclosures 
regarding financial instruments and derivative instruments.  
Entities are required to provide both net information and gross 
information for these assets and liabilities in order to enhance 
comparability between those entities that prepare their financial 
statements on the basis of U.S. GAAP and those entities that 
prepare their financial statements on the basis of International 
Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).  In January 2013, the 
FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01 (“ASU»2013-01”), to clarify 
the scope of the new offsetting disclosures in ASU 2011-11.  
The ASU clarifies that the scope includes bifurcated embedded 
derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase 
agreements, and securities borrowing and lending agreements 
subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreements.  
These updates were effective for the Company on January 1, 
2013.  The adoption of the updates did not have a material 
impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Comprehensive income

In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-02, 
Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of 
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU»2013-02”).  ASU 
2013-02 improves the reporting of reclassifications out 
of accumulated other comprehensive income.  Entities are 
required to report the effect of significant reclassifications out 
of accumulated other comprehensive income on the respective 
line items in net income if the amount being reclassified is 
required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in its entirety to 

42  »  WESTPORT iNNOVATiONS iNC. 2013 ANNUAL REPORT

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, Income Taxes 
(Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating 
Loss Carry forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists 
(“ASU»2013-11”).  ASU 2013-11 purpose is to eliminate the 
diversity in the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits.  
Entities are required to present any unrecognized tax benefit 
as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss 
carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward.  In 
circumstances where a net operating loss carryforward, a similar 
tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the 
reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction 
to settle any additional income taxes that would result from 
the disallowance of a tax position, the unrecognized tax benefit 
should be presented in the financial statements as a liability 
and should not be combined with deferred tax assets.  This 
new guidance is to be applied prospectively effective on January 
1, 2014.  The Company anticipates that the adoption of this 
standard will not have a material impact on the Company’s 
consolidated financial statements.

Technologies, inc. (“BAF”)

On June 28, 2013 (“the»acquisition»date”), the Company 
acquired 100% of the outstanding common shares of BAF and 
its subsidiary, ServoTech Engineering, Inc. (“ServoTech”) from 
Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (“Clean»Energy”).  The results of 
BAF’s consolidated operations have been included since July 1, 
2013 in these consolidated financial statements in the On-Road 
Systems segment.  The revenue and expenses of BAF for the 
three days, June 28 – June 30, 2013, of the reporting period 
during which BAF was a part of the Company are immaterial.  
BAF is a natural gas vehicle business that supports customers

with vehicle conversions under Ford’s Qualified Vehicle 
Modifier (“QVM”) program.  ServoTech is an engineering 
company that provides a total engineering solution from initial 
concept phase to prototype hardware and validation.  

Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, the acquisition 
was settled with 816,460 of the Company’s common shares.  
The number of shares transferred was determined using the 
10-day volume weighted average price (VWAP) per share prior 
to and including the acquisition date ($30.62 per share).  Of 
the 816,460 common shares, 718,485 shares, with a fair value 
of $24,091, were issued on the acquisition date and 97,975 
shares (“Holdback»shares”), with a fair value of $3,285, will be 
issuable to Clean Energy 12 months after the acquisition date.  
The fair value of the shares transferred or to be transferred was 
determined by the closing share price on the acquisition date 
($33.53 per share).  The Holdback shares have been recognized 
in “Other equity instruments”.

As part of the business acquisition, the Company entered into 
a marketing agreement (“Marketing»Agreement”) with Clean 
Energy, effective on the acquisition date for a period of two 
years.  The Company is required to make a cash payment of 
$5,000 to Clean Energy in March 2014.  Under the terms of 
the Marketing Agreement, Clean Energy will provide products 
and services to the Company.

The products and services received pursuant to the Marketing 
Agreement have been accounted for as a separate transaction 
from the business combination and the Company has 
determined the fair value of these products and services to be 
$2,678.  The fair value has been allocated to the products and 
services and will be recognized when the goods are received and 
services performed.  The fair value of the products and services 
of the Marketing Agreement was determined using Level 1 and 
Level 2 inputs.  

The excess consideration of the consideration payable of 
$5,000 and the fair value of the goods and services to be 
recognized separate from the business combination of $2,322 
has been included as purchase consideration for the acquisition 
of BAF.  

The following table summarizes management’s final fair market 
valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the 
acquisition date based on the results of a valuation report issued 
by a third-party valuation firm.

On October 11, 2011, the Company acquired, through its

will be settled in Westport shares if AFV achieves certain 
performance targets by December 31, 2014.

The Company also assumed approximately $1,087 in existing 
debt of AFV.  Upon closing, Westport settled $420 of the debt, 
leaving approximately $667 in debt on the consolidated balance 
sheet as of October 11, 2011.

b  Cummins Westport inc.

The Company entered into a joint venture with Cummins 
on March 7, 2001.  On December 16, 2003, the Company 
and Cummins amended the joint venture agreement (“JVA”) 
focusing CWI on developing markets for alternative fuel 
engines.  In addition, the two companies signed a Technology 
Partnership Agreement that creates a flexible arrangement for 
future technology development between Cummins and the 
Company.  

On February 20, 2012, the JVA was amended and restated to 
provide for, among other things, clarification concerning the 
scope of products within CWI.  In addition, the parties have 
revised certain economic terms of the JVA.

NOTES TO CONSOLidATEd FiNANCiAL STATEMENTS
expressed in thousands of United States dollars, except share and per share amounts  »  years ended dec. 31, 2013 and 2012 and the 9 months ended dec. 31, 2011

The joint venture has a term of ten years from the date of the 
JVA and can be terminated under certain circumstances before 
the end of the term, including in the event of a material breach 
of the agreement by, or in the event of a change of control of 
one of the parties.

Prior to February 20, 2012, the Company and Cummins 
shared equally in the profits and losses of CWI.  Under the new 
JVA, profits and losses are shared equally up to an established 
revenue baseline, then any excess profit will be allocated 75% to 
the Company and 25% to Cummins.

The Company has determined that CWI is a VIE.  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.  
Accordingly neither party is the primary beneficiary.

The Company has not historically provided and does not intend 
to provide financial or other support to CWI that the Company 
is not previously contractually required to provide.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company 
recognized its share of CWI’s income of $9,433 (year ended 
December 31, 2012 - $13,232; nine months ended December 
31, 2011 - $12,958), as income from investment accounted for

During the year ended December 31, 2013, amortization of 
$4,042 (December 31, 2012 - $3,264; nine months ended 
December 31, 2011 - $1,806) was recognized in the statement 
of operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, there was a 
significant decline in revenue from the lower than expected 
adoption rate of natural gas vehicles in our customer contracts.  
An impairment analysis of the intangibles balance indicated 
that the carrying value exceeded the fair value of customer 
contracts.  Accordingly, an intangible impairment charge of 
$1,721 related to customer contracts in AFV was recognized 
in the On-Road Systems segment.  The fair value of customer 
contracts was determined using the present value of expected 
cash flows discounted at a rate equivalent to a market 
participant’s weighted-average cost of capital.

The expected amortization of intangible assets for fiscal 2014 to 
2018 is $3,773 per year.

NOTES TO CONSOLidATEd FiNANCiAL STATEMENTS
expressed in thousands of United States dollars, except share and per share amounts  »  years ended dec. 31, 2013 and 2012 and the 9 months ended dec. 31, 2011

it was determined that the carrying amount of goodwill 
exceeded the implied fair value of goodwill by $34,964. 

A goodwill impairment loss of $30,067 and $4,897 was 
recorded in the Applied Technologies segment and the 
On-Road Systems segment, respectively, for the year ended 
December 31, 2013.  The fair value of the reporting units 
was determined using the present value of expected future 
cash flows discounted at a rate equivalent to a market 
participant’s weighted-average cost of capital.  The estimates 
and assumptions regarding expected future cash flows and the 
appropriate discount rates are in part based upon historical 
experience, financial forecasts and industry trends and 
conditions.  

In the Applied Technologies segment, the goodwill impairment 
charge was driven by the adverse economic climate in Europe 
and other geographic markets and lower than anticipated 
revenues.  In the On-Road Systems segment, the goodwill 
impairment charge was driven by a significant loss of revenue 
from lower than expected adoption rate of natural gas vehicles.

a  Severance indemnity

Italian law requires companies to make a mandatory 
termination payment to employees.  It is paid, as a lump 
sum, when the employment ends for any reason such as 
retirement, resignation or layoff.  The severance indemnity 
liability is calculated in accordance with local civil and labour 
laws based on each employee’s length of service, employment 
category and remuneration.  There is no vesting period or 
funding requirement associated with the liability.  The liability 
recorded in the consolidated balance sheet is the amount that 
the employee would be entitled to if the employee terminates 
immediately.  This liability for severance indemnities relates 
primarily to the Company’s employees in Italy.

16  GOVERNMENT ASSiSTANCE

From time to time, the Company enters into agreements for 
financial assistance with government agencies.  During the

No stock options were granted during the year ended December 
31, 2013 or nine month period ended December 31, 2011.  

The fair value of the options granted during the year ended 
December 31, 2012 was determined using the Black-Scholes 
option pricing formula simulation with the following weighted 
average assumptions:  expected dividend yield - nil%, expected 
stock price volatility – 47.79%, risk free interest rate – 0.38%; 
expected life of options – 3 years.  The weighted average grant 
date fair value was $10.97 for options granted for the fiscal year 
ended December 31, 2012.  

As at December 31, 2013, $2,409 of compensation cost related 
to stock option awards has yet to be recognized in results from 
operations and will be recognized over a weighted average 
period of 1.02 years.

b  Share 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 year ended December 31, 2013, the Company 
recognized $12,189 (year ended December 31, 2012 - $9,763; 
nine months ended December 31, 2011 – $5,827) of stock-
based compensation associated with the Westport Omnibus Plan 
and the former Amended and Restated Unit Plan.

The Executive and Senior Management Compensation 
Program sets out provisions where the RSUs and PSUs 
(together the “Units”) will be granted to the Company’s 
executive management if performance milestones are achieved 
as determined at the discretion of the Human Resources 
and Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of 
Directors.  These performance milestones are focused on 
achievement of key cash management, profitability and revenue 
growth objectives.  Vesting periods and conditions for each 
Unit granted pursuant to the Westport Omnibus Plan are at 
the discretion of the Board of Directors and may include time 
based, share price or other performance targets.

a  Stock Options

The Company grants incentive stock options to employees, 
directors, officers and consultants.  Stock options are granted 
with an exercise price of not less than the market price of the 
Company’s common shares on the date immediately prior to 
the date of grant.  The exercise period of the options may not 
exceed eight years from the date of grant.  Vesting periods of the 
options are at the discretion of the Board of Directors and may 
be based on fixed terms, achieving performance milestones or 
reaching specified share price targets.

As at December 31, 2013, $16,590 of compensation cost 
related to Units awards has yet to be recognized in results from 
operations and will be recognized over a weighted average 
period of 1.86 years.

Of the Units granted during the year ended December 31, 
2013, 389,685 Units (December 31, 2012 – 66,428) were 
subject to market and service conditions.  The fair value of 
these Units was determined using a Monte-Carlo simulation 
using the following weighted average assumptions: expected 
dividend yield - nil%; expected stock price volatility – 56.16%; 
and risk free interest rate – 1.17%.  The valuation model 
determined the grant date fair value based on assumptions 
about the likelihood of the Company achieving different payout 
factors as driven by the market conditions.  The weighted 
average grant date fair value was $30.72 for Units granted for 
the year ended December 31, 2013 (December 31, 2012 - 
$35.99).  For the Units granted after January 1, 2013, Units 

are based on two-year revenue growth, with a three-year total 
shareholder return (“TSR”) gate that caps payouts as 100% 
unless Westport TSR relative to the Ardour Global Alternative 
Energy Index North America (“AGINA”) equals or exceeds 
median.  Payouts may occur at 0% to 200% of the level awarded 
based on the fulfillment of the applicable performance.  100% 
of these Units vest after three years from the date of the grant.  
For the Units granted during the year ended December 31, 
2012, payout factors are determined based upon the absolute 
stock price at the end of two years, equal to the closing price on 
the last trading day of December 31, 2013.  One-half of these 
Units vest after two years and the remainder after three years 
from the date of the grant.  The impact of market conditions, if 
any, on compensation expense for these units is determined at 
the time of the grant with no adjustment to the compensation 
expense for the actual results of the market condition.  The fair 
value of all other Units was determined based on the market 
price of the underlying shares on the date of grant.  For the 
Units granted prior to January 1, 2012, payout factors are 
determined based upon the absolute stock price at the end of 
two years and the stock price relative to a Synthetic Clean Tech 
index of comparative companies two years after the grant date.  
One-half of these Units vest after two years and the remainder 
after three years from the date of the grant.  The impact of 
market conditions, if any, on compensation expense for these 
units is determined at the time of the grant with no adjustment 
to the compensation expense for the actual results of the 
market condition.  During the year ended December 31, 2013, 
160,674 PSUs (2012 – 83,218) vested with a payout factor of 
200% (2012 – 200%) and 54,876 PSUs vested with a payout 
factor of 0% and were forfeited.

tax assets is dependent on the generation of income during 
the future periods in which those temporary differences are

Service and other revenue for the year ended December 31, 
2013 consisted of a one-time license revenue of $nil (year 
ended December 31, 2012 - $7,923; nine months ended 
December 31, 2011 - $nil) for the transfer of proprietary know-
how, other fee payments of $1,484 (year ended December 31, 
2012 - $1,414; nine months ended December 31, 2011 - $nil), 
and service revenue of $14,547 (year ended December 31, 2012 
- $13,907; nine months ended December 31, 2011 - $10,181) 
under existing development agreements was recognized as the 
Company achieved and delivered certain milestones.  All costs 
associated with the development agreements were recorded as 
research and development expenses in the period incurred.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company 
entered into an agreement with an original equipment 
manufacturer (“OEM”) to co-develop natural gas technology 
for off-road equipment, including mining trucks and 
locomotives.  Under the agreement, the Company provided 
its proprietary know-how related to the high pressure direct 
injection (“HPDI”) technology by granting a non-exclusive 
license to the OEM.  The Company will also provide ongoing 
development services to the OEM to assist with the development 
and commercialization of products.  These are considered to 
be multiple deliverables arrangements and the Company has 
determined that the license and the development services are 
separate units of accounting.

56  »  WESTPORT iNNOVATiONS iNC. 2013 ANNUAL REPORT

As at December 31, 2013, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary 
Emer has provided a total amount of guarantees to third parties 
of $342 (€248), which include guarantees to its customers for the 
completion of specific supplies.

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

24  SEGMENTEd iNFORMATiON

In December 2012, the Company realigned its business units 
to focus on product commercialization and global partnerships 
development.  To accommodate the variety in product, system 
and service solutions, Westport created three new reportable 
operating segments.  The financial information for the 
Company’s business segments evaluated by the Company’s chief 
operating decision maker (“CODM”) 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 is 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 six reportable operating 
segments:

»» Applied Technologies, designs, produces, and sells 

compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied petroleum gas 
(LPG) components and subsystems for natural gas vehicles 
of all types;

»» On-Road Systems, engineers, designs, assembles and sells 
natural gas engine and vehicle systems for automotive, light 
commercial, and trucking;

NOTES TO CONSOLidATEd FiNANCiAL STATEMENTS
expressed in thousands of United States dollars, except share and per share amounts  »  years ended dec. 31, 2013 and 2012 and the 9 months ended dec. 31, 2011

»» Off-Road Systems, engineers, designs, and markets 

Westport proprietary natural gas technologies, including 
the Westport™ high pressure direct injection (HPDI) 
technology, Westport™ 2.4L industrial engines and fuel 
systems for the off-road, large-engine applications such 
as mine trucks, locomotives, workboats, and petroleum 
exploration equipment;

»» 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.

These reporting segments offer different products and services 
and are managed separately as each business requires different 
technology and marketing strategies. 

The accounting policies for the reportable segments are 
consistent with those described in [NOTE 2].  The CODM evaluates 
segment performance based 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.  
The Company did not record any intersegment sales or transfers 
for the year ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Company has assumed the minimum required payments.

NOTES TO CONSOLidATEd FiNANCiAL STATEMENTS
expressed in thousands of United States dollars, except share and per share amounts  »  years ended dec. 31, 2013 and 2012 and the 9 months ended dec. 31, 2011

The Company expects to be able to meet its future financial 
obligations with its current source of funds.  However, there 
are uncertainties related to the timing of the Company’s cash 
inflows and outflows, specifically around the sale of inventories 
and amounts required for market and product development 
costs.  These uncertainties include the volume of commercial 
sales related to its natural gas engines and fuel system products 
and the development of markets for, and customer acceptance 
of, these products.  As a result, the Company may need to 
seek additional equity or arrange debt financing, which could 
include additional lines of credit, in order to meet its financial 
obligations.

c  Credit risk

Credit risk arises from the potential that a counterparty to a 
financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations 
and arises principally from the Company’s cash and cash 
equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable.  
The Company manages credit risk associated with cash and cash 
equivalents and short-term investments by regularly consulting 
with its current bank and investment advisors and investing 
primarily in liquid short-term paper issued by Schedule 1 
Canadian banks, R1 rated companies and governments.  The 
Company monitors its portfolio, and its policy is to diversify its 
investments to manage this potential risk.

The Company is also exposed to credit risk with respect to 
uncertainties as to timing and amount of collectability of 
accounts receivable and loans receivable.  As at December 31, 
2013, 88% (December 31, 2012 - 89%) of accounts receivable 
relates to customer receivables, 1% (December 31, 2012 - 1%) 
relates to government grants receivable and 11% (December 
31, 2012 - 10%) relates to amounts due from joint venture 
and indirect, income tax and value added taxes receivable.  In 
order to minimize the risk of loss for customer receivables, the 
Company’s extension of credit to customers involves review and 
approval by senior management as well as progress payments as 
contracts are executed.  Most sales are invoiced with payment 
terms in the range of 30 days to 90 days.  The Company reviews 
its customer receivable accounts and regularly recognizes an 
allowance for doubtful receivables as soon as the account is 
determined not to be fully collectible.  Estimates for allowance 
for doubtful debts are determined by a customer-by-customer 
evaluation of collectability at each balance sheet reporting date, 
taking into consideration past due amounts and any available 
relevant information on the customers’ liquidity and financial 
position.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, short-term 
investments and accounts receivable as at December 31, 2013 
of $269,919 (December 31, 2012 - $260,049) represents the 
Company’s maximum credit exposure.

d  Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future 
cash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate because of 
changes in foreign currency exchange rates.  The Company 
conducts a significant portion of its business activities in 
foreign currencies, primarily the United States dollar (“U.S.”) 
and the Euro (“Euro”).  Cash and cash equivalents, short-term 
investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and long-
term debt that are denominated in foreign currencies will be 
affected by changes in the exchange rate between the Canadian 
dollar and these foreign currencies.  

The Company’s functional currency is the Canadian dollar.  
The U.S. dollar and the Euro carrying amount of financial 
instruments subject to exposure to foreign currency risk in the 
consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2013 is as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents

Short-term investments

Accounts receivable

Accounts payable

Cash and cash equivalents

U.S. DOLLARS

$ 

150,595

31,820

16,607

8,732

EUROS

€ 

387

If foreign exchange rates on December 31, 2013 had changed by 
25 basis points, with all other variables held constant, net loss 
for the year ended December 31, 2013 would have changed by 
$528 and $1 for US dollar denominated and Euro denominated 
financial instruments, respectively.  The Company’s exposure to 
currencies other than U.S. dollars and Euros is not material.

e 

interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash 
flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes 
in market interest rates.  The Company is subject to interest 
rate risk on certain long-term debt with variable rates of 
interest.  The Company limits its exposure to interest rate risk 
by continually monitoring and adjusting portfolio duration to 
align to forecasted cash requirements and anticipated changes 
in interest rates.

NOTES TO CONSOLidATEd FiNANCiAL STATEMENTS
expressed in thousands of United States dollars, except share and per share amounts  »  years ended dec. 31, 2013 and 2012 and the 9 months ended dec. 31, 2011

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 December 31, 2013, cash and cash equivalents and short-
term investments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis 
and are included in Level 1.

If interest rates for the year ended December 31, 2013 had 
increased or decreased by 50 basis points, with all other 
variables held constant, net loss for the year ended December 
31, 2013 would have increased or decreased by $52.

f  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 13(A)] 
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 13(C)] approximates its fair value as 
at December 31, 2013, as the interest rate on the debt is floating 
and therefore approximates the market rate of interest.  The 
Company’s credit spread also has not substantially changed 
from the 2.5% premium 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).
