Letter to Shareholders
Dear Fellow Shareholders,
Following the COVID pandemic in 2020, and global supply chain disruptions in 2021, your Company is facing the future with a
much stronger foundation. Despite the global challenges we and our industry faced, 2021 was a year of strong recovery for
Westport Fuel Systems. With record annual revenue, we topped our prior record in 2019, due to growth in our OEM business
driven by sales of our patented and proprietary HPDI fuel systems.
We are transforming our business to meet the needs of our OEM customers around the world. The demand for our products
continues to grow significantly, as global emissions standards require cleaner transportation and markets are demanding
affordable transportation. Our HPDI fuel systems are successfully being integrated into Heavy Duty OEM applications in Europe
and China. As the leading alternative fuel systems provider in the passenger car and commercial vehicle segments in India, we
continue to serve growing opportunities in this developing market. We are seeing an increased uptick in this key emerging
market as government action is dramatically expanding natural gas filling stations, while regulations for lower emissions
combined with customer demand for affordable transportation have made India an important growth market for natural gas
vehicles. Our products are meeting the demand in countries across Europe, Africa and Asia. Our OEM sales now represent
nearly 2/3 of our business, up from 50% before the pandemic.
In May 2021, we were pleased to add Stako to our growing global organization. Integrating their fantastic team members and
product portfolio to Westport Fuel Systems continues our journey to supply completely integrated fuel systems. Stako is the
world leader in LPG fuel storage for the OEM market as well as serving aftermarket and off-road applications.
At the end of 2021, we successfully concluded our joint venture with Cummins. We now look forward to working with them to
conduct an initial technical assessment of our H2 HPDI™ technology for potential use in Cummins’ hydrogen applications.
Our balance sheet today is stronger than it’s been since before the 2016 merger of Westport Innovations and Fuel Systems
Solutions. Despite the challenges our industry currently faces, the need for clean, affordable transportation continues to be
more important than ever. Decision-makers are not waiting for the next technological breakthrough or moonshot idea to make
their next move. They are acting now, using our cost-competitive products to reduce their carbon profiles. Our proven track
record speaks to the commercial viability of our technology. Westport Fuel Systems, now organized as one global company, is
focused on meeting these needs and fulfilling our purpose: Delivering transportation technologies, products and services that
are clean and affordable.
We are thrilled to have demonstrated in 2021 that our HPDI technology works brilliantly with zero-carbon hydrogen and enables
the most affordable way to use green hydrogen in long haul, heavy-duty transportation applications, and other important high
load applications like rail and mining. We believe we have a disruptive, game-changing technology using the internal
combustion engine with hydrogen fuel and our HPDI fuel systems. I look forward to updating our shareholders in 2022 as we
continue to make further development and commercialization progress.
I want to thank our Board of Directors for their continued guidance and support. And also, I thank my Executive Leadership
Team, who together represents a robust set of impressive skills and experience, for their demonstrated endurance and
resiliency through the many challenges we face. I’m grateful for their commitment to excellence in the pursuit of our objectives.
The future for your Company remains a strong one. This is our decade.
Sincerely,
David M. Johnson CEO

Business Overview and General Developments
Westport Fuel Systems is focused on engineering, manufacturing, and supplying alternative fuel systems and components for
transportation vehicles. Our diverse product offering sold under a wide range of established brands enables the deployment of
a range of alternative fuels offering both environmental and economic advantages, including liquefied petroleum gas ("LPG"),
compressed natural gas ("CNG"), liquefied natural gas ("LNG"), renewable natural gas ("RNG"), and hydrogen (together known
as "gaseous fuels"). We supply our products and services through a network of distributors, directly to OEMs and to supplier
OEMs and we provide delayed OEM services. In total, we have customers in more than 70 countries. Today, our products and
services are available for passenger car, light-, medium- and heavy-duty truck, cryogenic, and hydrogen applications.
The majority of our revenues are generated through the following businesses:
•
Independent aftermarket ("IAM"): We sell systems and components across a wide range of brands, primarily through a
global network of distributors that consumers can purchase and have installed onto their vehicles to use LPG or CNG fuels,
in addition to gasoline.
• Delayed OEM ("DOEM"): We directly or indirectly convert new passenger cars for OEMs or importers, to address local
market needs when a global LPG or CNG bi-fuel vehicle platform is not available directly from the OEM.
6 | WESTPORT FUEL SYSTEMS INC. 2021 ANNUAL REPORT
Management's Discussion and Analysis | Business Overview and General Developments
•
Light-duty OEM: We sell systems and components to OEMs that are used to manufacture new, direct off the assembly line
LPG or CNG-fueled vehicles.
• Heavy-duty OEM: We sell systems and components, including HPDI 2.0 fuel system products, to engine OEMs and
commercial vehicle OEMs. Our fully integrated HPDI 2.0 fuel systems, enables diesel engines using primarily natural gas
fuel to match the power, torque, and fuel economy benefits found in traditional compression ignition engines using only
diesel fuel, resulting in reduced greenhouse gas emissions and the capability to cost-effectively run on renewable fuels.
•
Electronics: We design, industrialize and assemble electronic control modules.
• Hydrogen: We design, develop, produce and sell hydrogen components for transportation and industrial applications. Also,
we are adapting our HPDI fuel systems to use hydrogen or hydrogen/natural gas blends in internal combustion engines.
This segment of our business saw substantial growth in 2021 and remained strong in the current quarter.
•
Fuel Storage: We manufacture LPG fuel storage solutions and supply fuel storage tanks to the aftermarket, OEM, and other
market segments.
HPDI™
Our HPDI™ technology is in the early stage of commercialization in the Heavy-duty OEM segment. Meaningful increases in sales
volumes are required for the HPDI 2.0 fuel systems business to benefit from economies of scale. Sales volumes with our initial
launch partner have grown year-over-year despite the economic impact of COVID-19 and the related global supply chain
challenges. We anticipate additional growth in sales volumes in China, the largest market for natural gas powered commercial
vehicles, from our supply arrangement with WWI, as well as additional OEMs entering into supply agreements for our HPDI 2.0
fuel systems technology. In March 2021, we entered into an investment agreement with our Tier 1 global injector
manufacturing partner to expand production at their facility in Yantai, China in anticipation of increased demand for fuel
injectors to the growing global market for HPDI 2.0 fuel systems. During the first quarter of 2021, WWI agreed to extend the
term of the original supply agreement signed in 2018 to December 31, 2024 and increased the minimum purchase of HPDI
2.0 fuel systems components required to produce a minimum of 25,000 engines by the end of 2024, up from 18,000 engines.
Gross margin and gross margin percentage from our HPDI 2.0 fuel systems product will vary based on production and sales
volumes, levels of development work, successful implementation of initiatives to reduce the cost input materials, and foreign
exchange rates. Margin pressure is expected to continue through 2022 as production costs and contracted price discounts
with the existing OEM customers are only partially offset by cost reductions of materials until higher scale is achieved. Although
production challenges caused by supply chain issues experienced by our initial OEM launch partner negatively impacted our
sales volumes of HPDI 2.0 fuel systems products in 2021, sales volumes to our initial OEM launch partner improved in the
fourth quarter of 2021 as production increased to meet end-customer demand.
CWI
We generated a significant portion of our income from CWI, our 50:50 joint venture with Cummins, Inc. ("Cummins"), by selling
spark-ignited natural gas engines. The joint venture term ended on December 31, 2021 as per the joint venture agreement. On
February 7, 2022, we agreed to sell 100% of our shares in CWI for proceeds of approximately $22.2 million, with Cummins
continuing to operate the business as the sole owner. As part of the agreement, Cummins also agreed to purchase our interest
in the intellectual property for proceeds of $20.0 million. We received proceeds of $31.4 million, net of a $10.8 million
holdback, after the closing date. The holdback will be retained by Cummins for a term of three years to satisfy any extended
warranty obligations in excess of the current recorded extended warranty obligation. Any unused amounts will be repaid to us at
the end of the three-year term. Cummins agreed to conduct an initial technical assessment of our hydrogen high pressure
direct injection system for potential use on Cummins' hydrogen applications. We believe an integrated solution for natural gas
and/or hydrogen using HPDI 2.0 fuel systems has an important role to play in the North American market as part of ongoing
efforts to reduce carbon in heady-duty transportation applications.
WESTPORT FUEL SYSTEMS INC. 2021 ANNUAL REPORT | 7
Management's Discussion and Analysis | Business Overview and General Developments
Russia-Ukraine Conflict
We conduct a substantial portion of our LD OEM and IAM businesses in Russia by selling our products to numerous OEMs and
other IAM customers. This Russian business has been a growing and important market for gaseous fuel systems and
components. Due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in late February 2022, the United States, European Union, Canada and
other Western countries and organizations have announced and enacted numerous sanctions against Russia to impose severe
economic pressure on the Russian economy and government. Potential consequences of the sanctions that could impact our
business in Russia include but are not limited to: (1) limiting and/or banning the use of the SWIFT financial and payment
system by Russian entities to buy and pay for our products; (2) devaluation of the Ruble and the related impact on applicable
exchange rates to negatively impact the competitiveness of our products; (3) government-owned entities (or partially owned
entities) being potentially limited by sanctions from purchasing our products; and (4) a general deterioration of the Russian
economy which may limit the ability for end customers to purchase our products. The full impact of the commercial and
economic consequences of the conflict are uncertain at this time, and we cannot provide assurance that future developments
in the Russian-Ukraine conflict would not have an adverse impact on the ongoing operations and financial condition of our
business in Russia.
Liquidity and Impact of COVID-19 on our Business
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on our businesses since March 2020 which led to temporary closure of
production plants in Northern Italy in the first half of 2020. Since the second half of 2020, our sales and customer demand
have continued to recover and our production plants have since remained open and have been in normal production operations
during the full year of 2021. We continue to face ongoing global supply chain disruptions commonly experienced throughout the
automotive industry (including shortages of raw materials and semiconductors, and cost inflation).
While we are cautiously optimistic about 2022, the global supply and effectiveness of vaccines and spread of new virus
variants may adversely affect customer demand going forward and have a negative impact on our supply chain.
Global Supply Chain Challenges and Shortage of Semiconductors
The automotive industry and Westport Fuel Systems are currently experiencing global supply chain challenges to source
semiconductors and other inputs to production due to supply shortages. While demand for more climate-friendly vehicles with
favorable fuel price economics is growing, the global shortage of semiconductors and raw materials is impacting automotive
manufacturing and creating bottlenecks. We expect the global semiconductor supply and raw materials shortage affecting the
automotive industry will continue to impact our business for the foreseeable future. We are closely monitoring and making
efforts to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 and the global shortage of semiconductors, raw materials and parts on our
businesses, however, we do not expect this shortage to impact our long-term growth.
Demand for medium- and heavy-duty trucks has increased due to an ongoing need for freight transportation and the growing
demand for more climate-friendly vehicles in markets with favorable fuel price economics. Sales of our HPDI 2.0 fuel systems
to our OEM launch partner continue to be adversely affected by the impact of the continued global shortage of semiconductors
experienced by our OEM launch partner on its manufacturing production levels, that included temporary plant shutdowns during
the third quarter of 2021. Although sales orders and production levels for trucks equipped with HPDI 2.0 fuel systems
increased significantly in the fourth quarter of 2021 and are expected to ramp up in 2022, the risk of production delays due to
supply chain challenges remain.
Further, we are experiencing supply chain challenges and high price inflation sourcing semiconductors, raw materials and parts
for our other OEM and IAM businesses. The situation is evolving daily and could become material in the event of a prolonged
supply chain disruption that results in production delays or end-customer demand declines.
Fuel Prices
There have been significant increases and continued global gaseous price fluctuations including LPG, LNG, and CNG for the
year but also for liquid fuels including crude oil, diesel, and gasoline, which continue to persist due to uncertainty in supply
8 | WESTPORT FUEL SYSTEMS INC. 2021 ANNUAL REPORT
Management's Discussion and Analysis | Business Overview and General Developments
levels and geopolitical risk. Fuel price increases of gaseous fuels that negatively impact the price differential of gaseous fuels
versus diesel and gasoline, may impact our potential customers' decision to adopt such gaseous fuels as a transportation
energy solution in the short term. Since the fourth quarter of 2021, we have observed softness in demand caused by the
continued uncertainty of the elevated prices of gaseous fuels relative to diesel and gasoline. At this time, management is
uncertain as to the duration of the price fluctuations and its impact on sales volumes, but remain cautiously optimistic that
price differentials will return to historically normal ranges in the long term.
Long-term Profitability and Liquidity
During 2021, we raised $120.7 million through equity offerings to expand the production capacity of our HPDI 2.0 fuel systems
products to meet customer demand, and to advance the research and development of our HPDI technology to decarbonize
transportation economically and efficiently, including through the use of hydrogen fuel. The remainder of the proceeds will be
allocated for potential acquisitions of bolt-on businesses that offer complementary capabilities or technologies to existing
businesses and to further strengthen the balance sheet. We also successfully restructured $18.0 million of debt with EDC into
a new five-year $20.0 million term loan with the support of the creditor to strengthen our liquidity and reduce our cost of capital
through debt financing to align with our investment profile and expected cash flows of our HPDI business. Besides these
financing activities, we participate in government wage-subsidy and other support programs in the countries where we operate
when available. We have recorded $1.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2021 (December 31, 2020 - $6.1 million)
related to these programs.
We believe that we have considered all possible impacts of known events arising from the COVID-19 pandemic in the
preparation of the Annual Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. However, changes in circumstances
due to COVID-19 could impact our judgments and estimates associated with the liquidity and impact of COVID-19 assessment
and other critical accounting assessments.
We continue to sustain operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities for the year. Despite the successful
monetization of the CWI joint venture's intellectual property and the wind-up of CWI described above, the loss of income from
the equity interest in the former CWI business will have a significant near-term impact on our annual cash flows from recurring
operating losses as our Heavy-duty OEM business scales to profitable growth.
As at December 31, 2021, we have cash and cash equivalents of $124.9 million and cash used in operating activities of
$43.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The ability to continue as a going concern beyond March 2023 will be
dependent on our ability to generate sufficient positive cash flows from operations specifically through profitable, sustainable
growth of the HPDI business and on our ability to finance our long term strategic objectives and operations. If, as a result of
future events, we were to determine we were no longer able to continue as a going concern, significant adjustments would be
required to the carrying value of assets and liabilities in the accompanying Annual Financial Statements and the adjustments
could be material.
Overview of Financial Results for 2021
Revenues of $312.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 were higher by 24%, compared to $252.5 million in the
prior year, due to the continued recovery of sales volumes in our OEM and IAM businesses and the addition of $13.8 million in
revenue from our recently acquired fuel storage business.
We reported net income of $13.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to net loss of $7.4 million for the
prior year. The $21.0 million increase was primarily the result of:
•
•
•
increases in gross margin of $8.7 million from higher sales volumes,
higher equity income from CWI of $9.2 million,
bargain purchase gain of $5.9 million from the acquisition of Stako,
WESTPORT FUEL SYSTEMS INC. 2021 ANNUAL REPORT | 9
Management's Discussion and Analysis | Overview of Financial Results for 2021
•
•
•
income tax recovery of $8.1 million compared to an income tax expense of $1.4 million in the prior year,
decrease in interest on long-term debt and accretion of royalty payable of $3.0 million and,
higher interest and other income, offset by increases in expenditures in research and development and in general and
administrative expenditures including lower government wage subsidy and support programs received, and lower
foreign exchange gain.
We reported $17.5 million Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"), see
"Non-GAAP Measures" section in the MD&A) during the year ended December 31, 2021, compared to $14.7 million in the prior
year.

Results from Operations
Operating Segments
We manage and report the results of our business through three segments: OEM, IAM, and Corporate. This reflects the way
operating decisions and the assessment of business performance is currently managed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker
("CODM"). As discussed in note 7 of the Annual Financial Statements, the CWI joint venture ended as at December 31, 2021
and our 50% share in the joint venture was sold to Cummins on February 7, 2022. We recorded the investment as asset held
for sale as at December 31, 2021 and no longer considered it as an operating segment, however the income from the
WESTPORT FUEL SYSTEMS INC. 2021 ANNUAL REPORT | 11
Management's Discussion and Analysis | Results from Operations
investment in the CWI joint venture remained as the Corporate equity income in 2021. The comparative segment information
below was also adjusted.
OEM BUSINESS SEGMENT
Our OEM segment designs, manufactures, and sells alternative fuel systems, components and electronics, including the HPDI
2.0 fuel systems product and related engineering services, to OEMs and to supplier OEMs. Our diverse product offerings are
sold under established global brands and utilize a broad range of alternative fuels, which have numerous environmental and
economic advantages including: LPG, CNG, LNG, RNG, and hydrogen. The OEM business segment's products and services are
available for passenger cars, light-, medium- and heavy-duty trucks, cryogenics, and hydrogen applications. The OEM group
includes the light-duty and heavy-duty OEM product lines and the DOEM and electronic and fuel storage businesses.
IAM BUSINESS SEGMENT
Our IAM segment designs, manufactures, and sells alternative fuel systems and components that consumers can purchase
and have installed onto their vehicles to use LPG or CNG fuels in addition to gasoline. Distribution of such products is realized
through a comprehensive distribution network (in more than 70 countries) selling our products to the workshops that are
responsible for conversion, maintenance and service.
CWI JOINT VENTURE
CWI was the leading supplier of natural gas engines to the North American medium and heavy-duty truck and transit bus
industries. CWI engines were offered by many OEMs for use in transit, school and shuttle buses, conventional trucks and
tractors, and refuse collection trucks, as well as specialty vehicles such as short-haul port drayage trucks and street sweepers.
The purpose of the joint venture was to engage in the business of developing, marketing and selling spark-ignited natural gas
or propane engines for on-highway use. CWI utilizes Cummins' supply chain, back office systems and distribution and sales
networks. CWI was a Delaware corporation owned 50% by Westport Fuel Systems Canada Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Westport Fuel Systems, and 50% by Cummins.
On February 7, 2022, Westport Fuel Systems and Cummins agreed to a share purchase agreement for the sale of its stake in
CWI with Cummins continuing to operate the business as the sole owner. As part of the agreement, Cummins also agreed to
purchase our interest in the intellectual property with proceeds to us from the sale of such intellectual property of $20.0
million. We received proceeds of $31.4 million, net of $10.8 million holdback, after the closing date. The holdback fund will be
retained by Cummins for a term of three years to satisfy any extended warranty obligations in excess of the current extended
warranty obligation. Any unused amounts will be repaid to the Company at the end of the three-year term.
CORPORATE BUSINESS SEGMENT
The Corporate business segment is responsible for public company activities, corporate oversight, financing, capital allocation
and general administrative duties, such as securing our intellectual property.

OEM
Revenue for the three months and year ended December 31, 2021 was $57.4 million and $195.5 million, respectively,
compared with $58.8 million and $149.6 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2020. OEM revenue
decreased by $1.4 million in the fourth quarter mainly due to decrease in sales for our heavy-duty OEM impacted by year-over-
year contractual HPDI 2.0 fuel systems price reductions to our initial OEM launch partner, partially offset by additional revenue
of $6.7 million from the acquired fuel storage business.
OEM revenue increased by $45.9 million for the year. The increase was mainly due to higher sales in heavy-duty OEM, light-duty
OEM, $13.8 million additional revenue from the acquired fuel storage business, and increased sales due to growth in our
electronics business. The impact of COVID-19 was significant in the prior year period, which was impacted by plant shutdowns
combined with lower light-duty OEM sales to German and Russian OEMs. Heavy-duty OEM revenue was higher year-over-year
and reflects higher sales volume, partially offset by year-over-year HPDI contractual price reductions, the impact on customer
demand due to manufacturing delays caused by the shortage of semiconductors on our initial OEM launch partner.
IAM
Revenue for the three months and year ended December 31, 2021 was $25.3 million and $116.9 million, respectively,
compared with $25.1 million and $102.9 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2020. Revenue for the
three months and year ended December 31, 2021 for the IAM business segment increased by $0.2 million and $14.0 million,
respectively, primarily due to higher sales to African and South American markets, offset by softness in demand from the
Russian and Turkish markets due to the rapid increase in LPG prices. We expect to see continued improvement in revenues
from the IAM business segment for the full year of 2022, but temper expectations in the near term due to the elevated LPG
prices in our key markets.

Gross Margin for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2021
OEM
Gross margin decreased year-over-year by $1.5 million to $5.1 million, or 9% of revenue, for the three months ended December
31, 2021 compared to $6.6 million, or 11% of revenue, for the same prior year period. The decrease in the fourth quarter
gross margin and gross margin as a percentage of revenue were mainly due to an increase in material costs stemming from
the global supply chain disruption across all business segments, change in sales mix for light-duty OEM and aforementioned
year-over-year HPDI contractual price reductions, partially offset by additional gross margin from the acquired fuel storage
business.
WESTPORT FUEL SYSTEMS INC. 2021 ANNUAL REPORT | 13

IAM
Gross margin decreased year-over-year by $2.2 million to $4.2 million, or 17% of revenue, for the three months ended
December 31, 2021 compared to $6.4 million, or 25% of revenue, for the same prior year period. The decrease in gross
margin and gross margin percentage was due to change in sales mix toward lower margin in the African market and higher
material costs due to the global supply chain disruption. The prior year also benefited from government subsidies, which
resulted in a higher gross margin percentage.

Gross margin increased year-over-year by $8.1 million to $20.4 million, or 10% of revenue, for the year ended December 31,
2021 compared to $12.3 million, or 8% of revenue, for the prior year. The increase in gross margin was due to higher sales
volumes for HPDI 2.0 fuel system products and higher service revenue from heavy-duty OEM, increased sales volume in our
light-duty OEM, and additional gross margin of $3.2 million from the acquired fuel storage business, partially offset by
contractual HPDI price reductions and higher material costs. The prior year was impacted by a net warranty charge of $2.4
million related to the field service campaign of the pressure relief device for light-duty OEM vehicles.
IAM
Gross margin increased by $0.6 million to $27.8 million, or 24% of revenue, for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared
to $27.2 million, or 26% of revenue, for the prior year. The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of revenue was due to
change in sales mix toward lower margin African markets and higher material costs. The prior year also benefited from
government subsidies, which resulted in a higher gross margin percentage.

Research and Development Expenses ("R&D")
OEM
R&D expenses for the three months and year ended December 31, 2021 were $3.1 million and $19.3 million, respectively,
compared to $4.9 million and $16.4 million for the same prior year periods. The decrease in the current quarter R&D expenses
of $1.8 million is due to an increase in R&D activity in the last quarter of 2020 from shutdowns and delayed projects during
COVID-19 pandemic. The increase in R&D expenses of $2.9 million for the year is primarily due to investments in improving
and evolving HPDI technology. The prior year comparative periods include lower compensation expense in response to
COVID-19 pandemic.

R&D expenses for the three months and year ended December 31, 2021 were $1.7 million and $5.9 million, respectively,
compared to $1.4 million and $4.2 million for the same prior year periods. The increase in R&D expenses of $0.3 million for
the quarter and $1.7 million for the year are primarily due to higher compensation expense as R&D projects resumed in the
current year. The prior year comparative periods include lower compensation expense in response to the COVID-19 pandemic
and higher government wage subsidies received in 2020.

SG&A expenses for the three months and year ended December 31, 2021 were $6.1 million and $20.5 million, respectively,
compared to $3.6 million and $13.4 million for the same prior year periods. The increases of $2.5 million and $7.1 million for
the respective periods are mainly due to resumption of activities to pre-COVID-19 levels, lower government wage subsidies and
support programs received, and to a lesser extent, a 3.4% increase in the average Euro rate versus the U.S. dollar rate year-
over-year that resulted in higher compensation expense.

Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2021
Revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2021 was $111.7 million compared to $96.0 million year-over-year. Unit
sales for the three months ended December 31, 2021 were 2,648 compared to 2,288 year-over-year. The increase in unit
sales was due to the timing of sales from the slowdown in Q3 2021 due to supply chain issues. Parts revenue for the three
months ended December 31, 2021, was $32.1 million compared to $25.1 million year-over-year.
Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021
Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $367.5 million compared to $323.5 million year-over-year. Unit sales for
the year ended December 31, 2021 were 8,290 compared to 7,065 for the prior year. Unit sales were higher during the year
ended December 31, 2021 compared to the prior year reflecting the impact of OEM factory shutdowns in April and May 2020 in
response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Parts revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $115.4 million compared to
$104.3 million for the prior year.
Gross Margin for the three months ended December 31, 2021
Gross margin increased by $10.7 million to $39.2 million from $28.5 million, for the current quarter due to the favorable
warranty adjustment in the current quarter. The increase in gross margin percentage from 30% to 35% of revenue in the current
quarter is largely driven by increases in sales volume of high-margin parts revenue.
Gross Margin for the year ended December 31, 2021
Gross margin increased by $11.8 million to $99.1 million from $87.3 million, mainly due to higher revenue compared to the
prior year period. The gross margin percentage has remained consistent year-over-year.

Other Significant Expense and Income Items
Foreign exchange gains and losses reflect net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions and net unrealized
gains and losses on our net U.S. dollar denominated monetary assets and liabilities in our Canadian operations that were
mainly comprised of cash and cash equivalents, assets held for sale, accounts receivable and accounts payable. In addition,
we have foreign exchange exposure on Euro denominated monetary assets and liabilities where the functional currency of the
subsidiary is not the Euro. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we recognized a foreign exchange gain of $2.0 million
compared to a foreign exchange gain of $4.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The gain recognized in the current
year primarily relates to unrealized foreign exchange gains that resulted from the translation of U.S. dollar cash balances
partially offset by the translation of the U.S. dollar denominated debt in our Canadian legal entities.
Depreciation and amortization for the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were $14.0 million for both
periods. The amounts included in cost of revenue for the same periods were $8.7 million and $7.8 million, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization has remained consistent year-over-year.
Income from investments primarily relates to our 50% interest in CWI, accounted for by the equity method. See the "Selected
CWI Statements of Operations Data" section in this MD&A for more detail.

The decrease in interest expense on long-term debt for the three months ended December 31, 2021 compared to prior year
period was mainly due to our refinancing efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic, with lower cost of borrowing achieved through
government-sponsored debt programs in Canada and Italy and the conversion of the convertible notes held by Cartesian
(defined in note 15 in our Annual Financial Statements) on January 21, 2021 and August 31, 2021. The royalty payable
accretion expense decreased as we continued to make repayments as scheduled and adjusted the current quarter accretion
expense due to a change in estimate on future royalty repayments.
Bargain purchase gain from acquisition of Stako was $5.9 million as the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed
exceeded the total transaction date fair value of consideration paid. See note 4 in our Annual Financial Statements for more
details.
Income tax recovery for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $8.1 million compared to $1.4 million of income tax expense
in the prior year. This was primarily related to recognition of the tax benefits of a step up in the tax basis of certain of our
Italian assets. This step up was a result of recent measures introduced in Italy by art. 110 of the Law Decree No. 104/2020
converted in the Law n. 126/2020, enacting "Urgent measures to support and relaunch the economy".

Management's Discussion and Analysis | Capital Requirements, Resources & Liquidity
Capital Requirements, Resources and Liquidity
Our cash and cash equivalents, including restricted cash, increased by $60.6 million to $124.9 million from $64.3 million at
December 31, 2020. The increase was directly attributed to the marketed public offering of common shares and the at-the-
market ("ATM") offering conducted during the year, offset by the cash outflows described below. Refer to note 18 in our Annual
Financial Statements for details on the marketed public offering and the ATM program for more details.
COVID-19 and its related economic impact on customer demand and our supply chain materially impacted our business. We
were able to access various government supports related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and we have significantly strengthened
our balance sheet by negotiating more attractive financing rates, and extending maturity of our debt to ensure sufficient
liquidity to meet obligations.
Cash Flow from Operating Activities
For the year ended December 31, 2021, net cash flow used in operating activities increased by $8.7 million to $43.8 million,
from the $35.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in cash used in operating activities is primarily due
to the increase in inventory in anticipation for next year's customer demands and increases in operating expenditures.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
Our net cash flows from investing activities consisted primarily of cash acquired through dividends received from joint ventures,
offset by purchases of property, plant and equipment and the acquisition of Stako, net of acquired cash.
For the year ended December 31, 2021, our net cash flows received from investing activities were $2.3 million compared to
$13.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease in net cash flows compared to the prior year is due to
increase in capital expenditures by $7.3 million to $14.2 million, and the acquisition of Stako for $5.9 million. The dividends
received from our joint ventures were comparable year-over-year.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
For the year ended December 31, 2021, our net cash flows from financing activities were $104.7 million, an increase of $65.0
million compared to net cash flows from financing activities of $39.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2020. In
2021, we received $12.8 million in net proceeds from the issuance of 1,819,712 common shares through our ATM equity
offering in the first quarter of 2021. We also received $107.9 million, net of transaction costs, from a marketed public offering
which closed on June 8, 2021. We amended our term loan with EDC in the fourth quarter of 2021, which resulted in
$1.0 million additional borrowings, net of repayments. This was offset by repayment of the royalty payable to Cartesian of $7.5
million and a net decrease of $4.5 million in the drawdown from our revolving financing facility with HSBC.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our Annual 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 Annual Financial Statements. We have identified several policies as
critical to our business operations and in understanding our results of operations. These policies, which require the use of
judgment, estimates and assumptions in determining their reported amounts, include the assessment of liquidity and going
concern, warranty liability, revenue recognition, inventories, and property, equipment, furniture and leasehold improvements.
The application of these and other accounting policies are described in note 3 of the Annual Financial Statements. Actual
amounts may vary significantly from estimates used.
We believe that we have taken into account all the possible impacts of known events arising from the COVID-19 pandemic in
the preparation of our Annual Financial Statements. However, changes in circumstances due to COVID-19 could impact our
judgments and estimates associated with our liquidity and going concern assessment, and other critical accounting
assessments.
Warranty Liability
Estimated warranty costs are recognized at the time we sell our products and are included in cost of revenue. We provide
warranty coverage on products sold from the date the products are put into service by customers. Warranty liability represents
our best estimate of warranty costs expected to be incurred during the warranty period. Furthermore, the current portion of
warranty liability represents our best estimate of the costs to be incurred in the next twelve-month period. We use historical
failure rates and cost to repair defective products 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. We generally record warranty expense for new products using 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 us and the timing will depend on actual failure rates and cost to repair failures of our products.
WESTPORT FUEL SYSTEMS INC. 2021 ANNUAL REPORT | 19
Management's Discussion and Analysis | Shares Outstanding
Revenue Recognition
We generate revenues primarily from product sales. Product revenues are derived primarily from standard product sales
contracts and from long-term fixed price contracts. Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of
the goods or services. Determining the timing of the transfer of control, at a point in time or over time, requires judgment. On
standard product sales contracts, revenues are recognized when customers obtain control of the product, that is when transfer
of title and risks and rewards of ownership of goods have passed and when the obligation to pay is considered certain.
Invoices are generated and revenue is recognized at that point in time. Provisions for warranties are made at the time of sale.
Inventories
Our inventories consist of our 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 or first-in, first-out. The cost of fuel system product inventories, assembled parts and work-in-progress includes
materials, labour and production overhead including depreciation. We record inventory write-downs based on an analysis of
excess and obsolete inventories determined primarily by future demand forecasts. In addition, we record a liability for firm, non-
cancelable, and unconditional purchase commitments with manufacturers for quantities in excess of our future demand
forecast consistent with our valuation of excess and obsolete inventory.
PP&E and Intangible Assets
We consider whether or not there has been an impairment in our long-lived assets, such as plant and 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.
Impairment of PP&E
During the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded an impairment charge of $0.5 million related to the write-down of
property, plant and equipment ("PPE") in Rohan BRC, our India subsidiary. We concluded that there were no other impairment
indicators as of December 31, 2021 related to PP&E.
We have significant investments in PP&E related to our HPDI business. The HPDI business is still in the early stages of
commercialization, and, as a result, is currently generating losses. Based on our current projections, meaningful increases in
component sales are expected compared to 2021 levels, allowing the business to benefit from economies of scale and
become profitable. If these assumptions are not realized, we may be required to record an impairment on these assets in
future periods.
Intangible Assets
We concluded that there were no impairment indicators as of December 31, 2021 related to intangible assets. Therefore, no
impairment on intangible assets was recorded in the year ended December 31, 2021.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Controls Over Financial
Reporting
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended ("Exchange Act"), are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the
20 | WESTPORT FUEL SYSTEMS INC. 2021 ANNUAL REPORT
Management's Discussion and Analysis | Disclosure Controls and Procedures
reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act and applicable Canadian securities law requirements is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and applicable Canadian
securities law requirements, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our
Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer,
respectively), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. As of the end of the period covered by
this report, we evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our CEO and CFO, the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.
We evaluated the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021 with the participation,
and under the supervision, of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based upon
this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of December 31, 2021, our internal
controls over financial reporting were effective for the period. In the second quarter of 2021, we identified a material weakness
described below:
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that
there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim consolidated financial
statements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
Specifically, in the second quarter of 2021 a control in the accounting function to reconcile the intercompany transactions to
final general ledger was not in place for a non-routine transaction, and a review control did not operate on a timely basis. As a
result, we failed to identify an adjustment needed to eliminate revenue and cost of revenue recorded for a non-routine
intercompany inventory sale in the second quarter.
We have remediated the material weakness identified by implementing additional controls over the accounting for and financial
reporting of intercompany transactions and enhancing management review controls and procedures to detect and prevent
material misstatements related to intercompany transactions. Our internal auditors concluded operating effectiveness after
testing the aforementioned internal controls over financial reporting.
KPMG LLP ("KPMG"), our independent registered public accounting firm, has audited our consolidated financial statements and
expressed an unqualified opinion thereon. KPMG has also expressed an unqualified opinion on the effective operation of our
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. KPMG's audit report on effectiveness of internal control over
financial reporting is included in the Annual Financial Statements.
Limitation on scope of design
In accordance with the provisions of National Instrument 52-109 - Certification of Disclosure in Issuers' Annual and Interim
Filings, management, including the CEO and CFO, have limited the scope of their design of the Company's disclosure controls
and procedures and internal control over financial reporting to exclude controls, policies and procedures of Stako. We
completed the acquisition of Stako on May 30, 2021. Stako's contribution to our Annual Financial Statements for the year
ended December 31, 2021 was approximately 6% of consolidated sales and 4% of total assets.
Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such
term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process
designed by, or under the supervision of, our CEO and CFO and effected by our board of directors, management, and other
personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our
consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP and the requirements of 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.
Because of these inherent limitations, 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, and no evaluation of controls can provide
WESTPORT FUEL SYSTEMS INC. 2021 ANNUAL REPORT | 21
Management's Discussion and Analysis | Disclosure Controls and Procedures
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.
Management, including the CEO and CFO, has evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, based
on the criteria in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management has determined that our internal control over financial reporting
was effective as of December 31, 2021.
Except for the additional controls implemented over the accounting for and financial reporting of intercompany transactions
aforementioned above, during the year ended December 31, 2021, there were no changes to our internal control over financial
reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
Summary of Quarterly Results and Discussion of the Quarter Ended
December 31, 2021
Our revenues and operating results can vary significantly from quarter to quarter depending on factors such as the timing of
product deliveries, product mix, product launch dates, R&D project cycles, timing of related government funding, impairment
charges, restructuring 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.

note 4 of the Annual Financial Statements for more details.
(4) The term EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) does not have a standardized meaning
according to U.S. GAAP. See non-GAAP measures for more information.
(5) The term Adjusted EBITDA is not defined under U.S. GAAP and is not a measure of operating income, operating
performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Westport Fuel Systems defines Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA
adjusted for amortization of stock-based compensation, unrealized foreign exchange gain or loss, and non-cash and other
adjustments. See non-GAAP measures for more information.
Non-GAAP Measures
We have included certain non-GAAP performance measures throughout this MD&A. These performance measures are employed
by us internally to measure operating and economic performance and to assist in business decision-making, as well as
providing key performance information to senior management. We believe that, in addition to conventional measures prepared
in accordance with U.S. GAAP, certain investors and other stakeholders also use this information to evaluate our operating and
financial performance; however, these non-GAAP performance measures do not have any standardized meaning. Accordingly,
these performance measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a
substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Other companies may calculate gross margin,
gross margin as a percentage of revenue, net working capital, and non-current liabilities differently.

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These U.S. GAAP financial statements include non-cash
charges and other charges and benefits that may be unusual or infrequent in nature or that we believe may make comparisons
to our prior or future performance difficult. In addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP,
Westport Fuel Systems and certain investors use EBIT, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as an indicator of our ability to generate
liquidity by producing operating cash flow to fund working capital needs, service debt obligations and fund capital expenditures.
Management also uses these non-GAAP measures in its review and evaluation of the financial performance of Westport Fuel
Systems. EBITDA is also frequently used by investors and analysts for valuation purposes whereby EBITDA is multiplied by a
factor or "EBITDA multiple" that is based on an observed or inferred relationship between EBITDA and market values to
determine the approximate total enterprise value of a company. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures also
provide additional insight to investors and securities analysts as supplemental information to our U.S. GAAP results and as a
basis to compare our financial performance period-over-period and to compare our financial performance with that of other
companies. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures facilitate comparisons of our core operating results from
period to period and to other companies by, in the case of EBITDA, removing the effects of our capital structure (net interest
income on cash deposits, interest expense on outstanding debt and debt facilities), asset base (depreciation and amortization)
and tax consequences. Adjusted EBITDA provides this same indicator of Westport Fuel Systems' EBITDA from continuing
operations and removing such effects of our capital structure, asset base and tax consequences, but additionally excludes any
unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses, stock-based compensation charges and other one-time impairments and costs
which are not expected to be repeated in order to provide greater insight into the cash flow being produced from our operating
business, without the influence of extraneous events.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are intended to provide additional information to investors and analysts and do not have any
standardized definition under U.S. GAAP, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of
performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude the impact of cash costs of
financing activities and taxes, and the effects of changes in operating working capital balances, and therefore are not
necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under U.S. GAAP. Other companies may
calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently.

Business Risks and Uncertainties
An investment in our business involves risk and readers should carefully consider the risks described in our AIF and other
filings on www.sedar.com and www.sec.gov. Our ability to generate revenue and profit from our technologies is dependent on a
number of factors, and the risks discussed in our AIF, which, 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, 2021 under the
heading “Risk Factors” and is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Westport Fuel Systems Inc.:
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Westport Fuel Systems Inc. (the Company) as of December
31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), shareholders’
equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two‑year period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes
(collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for each of the years in the two‑year period ended December 31, 2021, in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in
Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission, and our report dated March 14, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s
internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the
PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws
and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material
misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material
misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond
to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial
statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or
disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or
complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated
financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate
opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Indicators of Impairment for Property, Plant and Equipment in the Company's heavy-duty
Original Equipment Manufacturer business
26 | WESTPORT FUEL SYSTEMS INC. 2021 ANNUAL REPORT
Reports
As discussed in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements, the carrying value of property, plant and equipment as of
December 31, 2021 is $64,420 thousand, which includes the property, plant and equipment used in the Company’s heavy-
duty Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) business, including a specific fuel systems business, which is in the early stages
of commercialization and has generated losses to date. As discussed in Note 3(k) to the consolidated financial statements,
the Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company’s determination of whether an indicator of impairment
exists includes the preparation of a forecast of future cash flows of the specific fuel systems business. The significant
assumptions used in the Company’s forecast of future cash flows include, amongst others, estimates of component sales in
the future.
We identified the assessment of indicators of impairment for property, plant and equipment related to this specific fuel
systems business as a critical audit matter. A higher degree of subjective auditor judgment was required to assess the
Company’s evaluation of indicators of impairment due to the uncertainty in the estimates of component sales in the future.
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and
tested the operating effectiveness of an internal control over the Company’s process for the identification and evaluation of
indicators of impairment. We evaluated the reasonableness of the estimates of component sales in the future by comparing
them to the Company’s approved budget, internal documentation and external communications and compared their
consistency with relevant industry data and regulatory factors. We compared the forecasted sales for a key customer in the
heavy-duty OEM business to the demand forecast provided to the Company by this customer. We performed sensitivity
analyses to assess the impact of changes of the estimates of component sales in the future. We compared the Company’s
historical sales forecasts to actual results to assess the accuracy of the Company’s forecasts of future sales.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Westport Fuel Systems Inc.:
Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited Westport Fuel Systems Inc.’s (and subsidiaries’) (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee
of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects,
effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control –
Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States)
(PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated
statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the
two-year period ended December 31, 2021, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our
report dated March 14, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
The Company acquired Stako sp. z.o.o (Stako) during 2021, and management excluded from its assessment of the
effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, Stako’s internal control over
financial reporting associated with 4% of total assets and 6% of consolidated sales included in the consolidated financial
statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021. Our audit of internal control over financial
reporting of the Company also excluded an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Stako.
Basis for Opinion
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
Annual Report on 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 are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are
required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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 of internal control over financial reporting 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.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
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 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.
28 | WESTPORT FUEL SYSTEMS INC. 2021 ANNUAL REPORT
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.

Financial Statements | Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Company Organization and Operations
Westport Fuel Systems Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) on March 20,
1995. The Company engineers, manufactures and supplies alternative fuel systems and components for use in transportation
markets on a global basis. The Company's components and systems control the pressure and flow of gaseous alternative
fuels, such as propane, natural gas, and hydrogen used in internal combustion engines and fuel cells.
2. Liquidity and impact of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the Company's business since March 2020 which led to temporary closure of
production plants in Northern Italy in the first half of 2020. Since the second half of 2020, the Company's sales and customer
demand have continued to recover and the Company's production plants have since remained open and have been in normal
production operations during the full year of 2021. However, the COVID-19 related global supply chain disruptions and
inflationary pressures with rising prices for natural gas and liquid petroleum gas are ongoing challenges.
The Company is closely monitoring and making efforts to mitigate the impact on the business from COVID-19 and the related
global supply chain shortages of semiconductors, raw materials and other parts. Like other automotive manufacturers or
suppliers, the Company sources components globally and has been impacted along with its customers by global supply chain
disruptions. At this time, management does not see a material impact to its business; however, the situation not yet stabilized
and could become material in case of a prolonged supply chain disruption that results in production delays or end-customer
demand declines.
During the year, the Company raised $120,727 through equity offerings which strengthened the Company's liquidity position
(Refer to note 18 in these consolidated financial statements for more details). Further, the Company restructured its existing
non-revolving term facility and COVID-19 credit facility with Export Development Canada ("EDC") into a new 5-year $20,000
term loan. Besides these financing activities, the Company applies, when appropriate, for government wage-subsidy and other
support programs in the countries where it operates. The Company has recorded $1,065 in the year ended December 31,
2021 ($6,093 in the year ended December 31, 2020), related to these programs.
On February 7, 2022, the Company agreed to sell 100% of its shares in Cummins Westport Inc. ("CWI") to Cummins Inc. for
proceeds of approximately $22,200, along with its interest in the intellectual property of CWI for proceeds of $20,000 (Refer to
note 7 in these consolidated financial statements for more details).
The Company believes that it has considered all possible impacts of known events arising from the COVID-19 pandemic in the
preparation of the consolidated financial statements; however, changes in circumstances due to COVID-19 could impact
management's judgments and estimates associated with the liquidity and impact of COVID-19 assessment and other critical
accounting assessments.
The Company continues to sustain operating losses and negative cash flows from operating activities. As at December 31,
2021, the Company has cash and cash equivalents of $124,892 and during the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company
used cash in operating activities of $43,793. The ability to continue as a going concern beyond March 2023 will depend on the
Company's ability to generate sufficient positive cash flows from operations specifically through profitable, sustainable growth
of Westport's HPDI 2.0™ fuel systems business, and on the Company's ability to finance its long term strategic objectives and
operations. Westport’s HPDI™ fuel system is designed to directly inject a fuel into the combustion chamber of an internal
combustion engine.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
3. Significant Accounting Policies
A. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. 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 functional currency is the Canadian dollar and its reporting currency for its consolidated financial statement
presentation is the United States dollar ("U.S. Dollar"). The functional currencies for the Company's subsidiaries include the
following: U.S. dollar, Canadian dollar, Euro, Argentina Peso, Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”), Swedish Krona, Indian Rupee, and
Polish Zloty. The Company translates assets and liabilities of non-U.S. dollar functional currency operations using the period
end exchange rates, shareholders’ equity balances using the weighted average of historical exchange rates, and revenues and
expenses using the monthly average rate for the period, with the resulting exchange differences recognized in other
comprehensive income.
Transactions that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies of the Company’s or its subsidiaries'
operations are translated at the rates in effect on the date of the transaction. Foreign currency denominated monetary assets
and liabilities are translated to the applicable functional currency at the exchange rates in effect on the balance sheet date.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities are translated at the historical exchange rate. All foreign exchange gains and losses are
recognized in the statement of operations, except for the translation gains and losses arising from available-for-sale
instruments, which are recorded through other comprehensive income until realized through disposal or impairment.
As at June 30, 2018, the Company concluded that Argentina's economy is highly inflationary. As a result, the Company has
remeasured the financial statements of the Argentinian subsidiary in the Company's reporting currency beginning July 1, 2018.
Except as otherwise noted, all amounts in these financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. For the year presented,
the Company used the following exchange rates:

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. Cash and cash equivalents at
December 31, 2021 include restricted cash of $104 (2020 - $75). Restricted cash at December 31, 2021 and 2020 is related
to cash used to secure a letter of credit.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
D. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, NET
The accounts receivable balance reflects invoiced and accrued revenue and is presented net of an allowance for credit losses.
The Company expects the majority of its accounts receivable balances to continue to come from large customers as it supplies
the majority of its products and services through a network of distributors and Original Equipment Manufacturers ("OEM") and
provides Delayed OEM ("DOEM") services. The Company establishes current expected credit losses ("CECL") for pools of
assets with similar risk characteristics by evaluating historical levels of credit losses, current economic conditions that may
affect a customer's ability to pay, and creditworthiness of significant customers. When specific customers are identified as no
longer sharing the same risk profile as their current pool, they are removed from the pool and evaluated separately. The
Company, in the normal course of business, monitors the financial condition of its customers and reviews the credit history of
each new customer. When the Company becomes aware of a specific customer's inability to meet its financial obligations to
the Company (such as in the case of bankruptcy filings or material deterioration in the customer's operating results or financial
position, and payment experiences), the Company records a specific credit loss provision to reduce the customer's related
accounts receivable to its estimated net realizable value. If circumstances related to specific customers change, the
Company's estimates of the recoverability of accounts receivable balances could be further adjusted.
E. 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 or first-in, first-out. The cost of fuel system product inventories, assembled parts and work-in-
progress includes materials, labour and production overhead, including depreciation. The Company records inventory write-
downs based on an analysis of excess and obsolete inventories determined primarily by future demand forecasts. In addition,
the Company records a liability for firm, noncancellable, and unconditional purchase commitments with manufacturers for
quantities in excess of the Company’s future demand forecast consistent with its valuation of excess and obsolete inventory.
F. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided for as follows:

Depreciation expense on machinery and equipment used in the production and manufacturing process is included in cost of
revenue. All other depreciation is included in depreciation and amortization expense in the statement of operations and
comprehensive loss.
G. LONG-TERM INVESTMENTS
The Company accounts for investments in which it has significant influence, including variable interest entities ("VIEs") for
which the Company is not the primary beneficiary, using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the
Company recognizes its share of income from equity accounted 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.
H. 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 netted against long-term debt and are amortized using the effective interest rate method.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
I. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and are recorded net of funding received or receivable.
J. INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets consist primarily of the estimated value of intellectual property, trademarks, technology, customer contracts
and non-compete agreements acquired through acquisitions. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives,
which range from 5 to 20 years.
K. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment 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.
The Company has significant investments in property, plant and equipment used in its heavy-duty OEM business, relating to the
HPDI 2.0 fuel systems that is in the early stages of commercialization, and, as a result, is currently generating losses. Based
on the Company's current projections, meaningful increases in component sales, compared to 2021 levels, are expected,
allowing the business to benefit from economies of scale and become profitable. If these assumptions are not realized, the
Company may be required to record an impairment on these assets in future periods.
L. GOODWILL
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
impairment test is performed annually at December 31. 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.
M. 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 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 costs to repair defective products 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 using 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.
WESTPORT FUEL SYSTEMS INC. 2021 ANNUAL REPORT | 37
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
N. REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company generates revenues primarily from product sales. Product revenues are derived from standard product sales
contracts and from long-term fixed price contracts. The Company recognizes revenue when a customer obtains control of the
goods or services. Determining the timing of the transfer of control, at a point in time or over time, requires judgment. On
standard product sales contracts, revenues are recognized when customers obtain control of the product, that is when transfer
of title and risks and rewards of ownership of goods have passed and when obligation to pay is considered certain. Invoices
are generated and revenue is recognized at that point in time. Provisions for warranties are made at the time of sale. Service
revenue is recognized over time as performance obligations are satisfied.
O. INCOME TAXES
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income tax assets
and liabilities are determined based on the temporary differences between the accounting basis and tax basis of the assets
and liabilities and for loss carry-forwards, tax credits and other tax attributes, using the enacted tax rates in effect for the years
in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on the deferred income tax assets and
liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The Company recognizes deferred income tax assets to the extent the assets are more-likely-than-not to be realized. In making
such a determination the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing
taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If it is
determined that, based on all available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some or all of the deferred income tax assets
will not be realized, a valuation allowance is provided to reduce the deferred income tax assets.
The Company uses a two-step process to recognize and measure the income tax benefit of uncertain tax positions taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return. The tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is recognized if it is more-likely-than-not
that the position will be sustained upon examination by a tax authority based solely on the technical merits of the position. A
tax benefit that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured as the largest amount that is greater than
50% likely to be realized upon settlement with the tax authority. To the extent a full benefit is not expected to be realized, an
income tax liability is established. Any change in judgment related to the expected resolution of an uncertain tax position is
recognized in the year of such a change.
Interest and penalties related to income taxes are included as a component of income tax expense.
4. Business Combination
Acquisition of Stako sp. z.o.o (“Stako”):
On May 28, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Stako from
Worthington Industries Inc. for a total purchase price of $7,130. The transaction was completed on May 30, 2021.
Stako is a leading manufacturer of liquid petroleum gas fuel (“LPG”) storage, supplying the aftermarket and OEM market
segments through a worldwide network of dealers. Stako’s current product range includes over 1,000 models of LPG storage
tanks. Over the last 30 years, Stako has supplied tanks to leading automobile manufacturers worldwide.
The business combination resulted in a bargain purchase transaction as the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities
assumed exceeded the total of the transaction date fair value of consideration paid by $5,856. The Company was able to
acquire Stako for less than its fair value due to the decision of the seller to divest their non-core LPG business. The following
table summarizes the final allocation of the purchase price to the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the
date of the acquisition.

7. Assets held for sale
The Company, indirectly through one of its wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a joint venture with Cummins Inc. ("Cummins")
on March 7, 2001.
On February 19, 2012, the joint venture agreement ("JVA") was amended and restated to provide for, among other things,
clarification concerning the scope of products within CWI. In addition, the parties revised certain economic terms of the JVA.
Prior to February 19, 2012, the Company and Cummins shared equally in the profits and losses of CWI. Under the amended
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 joint venture term ended December 31, 2021 as per the terms of the joint venture
agreement.
The investment was presented as assets held for sale as at December 31, 2021, with the comparative period balance
reclassified accordingly. On February 7, 2022, the Company agreed to sell 100% of its shares in CWI to Cummins for proceeds
of approximately $22,200, with Cummins continuing to operate the business as the sole owner. As part of the agreement,
Cummins also agreed to purchase the Company's interest in the intellectual property with proceeds to the Company of
$20,000. The Company received proceeds of $31,445, net of a $10,800 holdback, after the closing date. The holdback will be
retained by Cummins for a term of three years to satisfy any extended warranty obligations in excess of the current recorded
extended warranty obligation. Any unused amounts will be repaid to the Company at the end of three-year term.
The Company recognized its share of CWI’s income and received dividends as follows:

WEICHAI WESTPORT INC. ("WWI")
The Company, indirectly through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Westport Innovations (Hong Kong) Limited (“Westport HK”), is
currently the registered holder of a 23.33% equity interest in WWI. In April 2016, the Company sold to Cartesian Capital Group
(“Cartesian”) a derivative economic interest granting it the right to receive an amount of future income received by Westport HK
from WWI equivalent to having an 18.78% equity interest in WWI and concurrently granted a Cartesian entity an option to
acquire all of the equity securities of Westport HK for a nominal amount. The Company retained the right to transfer any equity
interest held by Westport HK in WWI that was in excess of an 18.78% interest in the event that such option was exercised. As
a result of such transactions, the Company’s residual 23.33% equity interest in WWI currently corresponds to an economic
interest in WWI equivalent to just 4.55%.
Cartesian had financing arrangements with the Company through convertible debt and a royalty payable described in notes
15(b) and 16. Various Cartesian entities are associated with these investments including Pangaea Two Management, LP;
Pangaea Two Acquisition Holdings XIV, LLC, Pangaea Two Acquisition Holdings Parallel XIV, LLC. Collectively, these entities will
be referred to as “Cartesian”.

The Company has entered into various non-cancellable operating lease agreements primarily for its manufacturing facilities and
offices. The Company's leases have lease terms expiring between 2021 and 2033. Many leases include one or more options
to renew. The Company does not assume renewals in its determination of the lease term unless the renewals are deemed to
be reasonably assured at lease commencement. The average remaining lease term is approximately five years and the present
value of the outstanding operating lease liability was determined applying a weighted average discount rate of 3.0% based on
incremental borrowing rates applicable in each location.
The components of lease cost are as follows:

facility. The Company incurred debt issuance costs of $1,013 related to this loan, which are being amortized over the loan
term using the effective interest rate method. The loan bore interest at 6% (prior to March 1, 2019, 9% plus monitoring fees),
payable quarterly, as well as quarterly principal repayments. On December 13, 2021, the credit facility and non-revolving term
facility were refinanced to a $20,000 term loan. The refinanced term loan provides an extension of the maturity of the
indebtedness to EDC to September 15, 2026 and reduced the interest rate to U.S. Prime rate plus 2.01% per annum. The
Company incurred transaction costs of $300 related to this amendment, which are being amortized over the remainder of the
loan term from the debt modification date using the effective interest rate method.
As at December 31, 2021 the amount outstanding for this loan was $18,583, net of transaction costs, compared to $13,618,
net of transaction costs, as at December 31, 2020. The loan is secured by share pledges over Westport Fuel Systems Canada
Inc., Fuel Systems Solutions, Inc., Westport Luxembourg S.a.r.l and by certain of the Company's property, plant and equipment.
On October 9, 2018, and November 28, 2019, the Company entered into Euro denominated loan agreements with UniCredit
S.p.A. ("UniCredit"). These loan bears interest at an annual rate of 2.3% and 1.8%, respectively, and interest is paid quarterly.
The loans matures on December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, respectively. On April 29, 2021, the Company and
UniCredit amended the terms of the above Euro denominated loan agreements to combine the facilities into one $8,803 loan
facility. This loan matures on March 31, 2027, bears interest at an annual rate of 1.65% and interest is paid quarterly. The
cash pledge is removed after the amendment. As at December 31, 2021, the amount outstanding for this loan was $8,470
compared to $7,246 as at December 31, 2020.
On May 20, 2020, the Company entered into a third Euro denominated loan agreement with UniCredit. The effective interest
rate of this loan is 1.82% with a maturity date of May 31, 2025. As at December 31, 2021, the amount outstanding for this
loan was $4,000 compared to $5,558 as at December 31, 2020. There is no security on the loan as it was made as part of
the Italian government's COVID-19 Decreto Liquidità to help Italian companies to secure liquidity to continue operating while
mitigating some of the impact of COVID-19.
On July 17, 2020, the Company entered into a fourth Euro denominated loan agreement with UniCredit. The effective interest
rate of this loan is 1.75% with a maturity date of July 31, 2026. As at December 31, 2021, the amount outstanding for this

On January 11, 2016, the Company entered into a financing agreement with Cartesian to support the Company's global growth
initiatives. The financing agreement immediately provided $17,500 in cash (the “Tranche 1 Financing”). In consideration for the
funds provided to the Company, Cartesian is entitled to royalty payments based on the greater of (i) a percentage of amounts
received by the Company on select HPDI 2.0 fuel systems and CWI joint venture income through 2025 and (ii) stated fixed
amounts per annum subject to adjustment for asset sales. The carrying value is being accreted to the expected redemption
value using the effective interest method, which is approximately 23% per annum. Amounts due to Cartesian are secured by an
interest in the Company's HPDI 2.0 fuel systems intellectual property and a priority interest in the Company's CWI joint venture
interest.
In January 2017, the Company and Cartesian signed a Consent Agreement which allows the Company to sell certain assets in
exchange for prepayment of the Cartesian royalty. Cartesian is paid 15% of the net proceeds from these asset sales to a
maximum of $15,000, with these payments being allocated on a non-discounted basis to future years' minimum payments.
As of December 31, 2021, the total royalty prepayments paid to Cartesian as a result of the Consent Agreement was $11,912.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, 875,703 share units were granted to directors, executives and employees (2020 -
525,807). This included 417,719 Restricted Share Units ("RSUs") (2020 - 504,907) and 457,984 Performance Share Units
("PSUs") (2020 - 20,900). Values of RSU awards are generally determined based on the fair market value of the underlying
common shares on the date of grant. RSUs typically vest over a three-year period so the actual value received by the individual
depends on the share price on the day such RSUs are settled for common shares, not the date of grant. PSU awards do not
have a certain number of common shares that will be issued over time, but are based on future performance and other
conditions tied to the payout of the PSU.
As at December 31, 2021, $2,709 of compensation expense related to Units has yet to be recognized in results from
operations and will be recognized ratably over two years.

The valuation allowance is reviewed on a quarterly basis to determine if, based on all available evidence, it is more-likely-than-
not that some or all of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred income tax
assets is dependent on the generation of sufficient taxable income during the future periods in which those temporary
differences are expected to reverse. If the evidence does not exist that the deferred income tax assets will be fully realized, a
valuation allowance has been provided.
The deferred income tax assets have been reduced by the uncertain tax position presented in note 19(f).

52 | WESTPORT FUEL SYSTEMS INC. 2021 ANNUAL REPORT
Financial Statements | Notes | 20. Commitments and Contingencies
(a)
Pursuant to the amended and restated JVA, the Company engages in transactions with CWI (see note 7). Amounts
receivable relate to costs incurred by the Company on behalf of CWI. The amounts are generally reimbursed by CWI to the
Company in the month following the month in which the payable is incurred.
(b)
The Company engages in transactions with Minda Westport Technologies Limited and recorded $1,593 of accounts
receivable as at December 31, 2021 (December 31, 2020 - $996). During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company
sold inventory to Minda Westport Technologies Limited for $2,232 (December 31, 2020 - $1,927).
21. Commitments and Contingencies
(a)
Contractual commitments
The Company is a party to a variety of agreements in the ordinary course of business under which it is obligated to indemnify a
third party with respect to certain matters. Typically, these obligations arise as a result of contracts for sale of the Company’s
product to customers where the Company provides indemnification against losses arising from matters such as product
liabilities. The potential impact on the Company’s financial results is not subject to reasonable estimation because
considerable uncertainty exists as to whether claims will be made and the final outcome of potential claims. To date, the
Company has not incurred significant costs related to these types of indemnifications.
(b)
Contingencies
The Company is engaged in certain legal actions and tax audits in the ordinary course of business and believes that, based on
the information currently available, the ultimate outcome of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our
operating results, liquidity or financial position.
22. Segment Information
The Company manages and reports the results of its business through three segments: OEM, Independent Aftermarket
("IAM"), and Corporate. This reflects the manner in which operating decisions and assessing business performance is
currently managed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM").
As discussed in note 7 of these consolidated financial statements, the CWI joint venture ended as at December 31, 2021 and
the Company's 50% share in the joint venture was sold to Cummins on February 7, 2022. The Company recorded the
investment as an asset held for sale as at December 31, 2021 and no longer considered it as an operating segment, however
the income from the investment in the CWI joint venture remained as the Corporate equity income in 2021. The comparative
segment information below was also adjusted.

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
WESTPORT FUEL SYSTEMS INC. 2021 ANNUAL REPORT | 55
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Company manages credit risk associated with cash and cash equivalents by regularly investing primarily in liquid short-term
paper issued by major banks. 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 other receivables. As at December 31, 2021, 83% (December 31, 2020 - 83%) of accounts receivable relates
to customer receivables, and 17% (December 31, 2020 - 17%) relates to amounts due from related parties and income tax
authorities for value added taxes and other tax related refunds. 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. Refer to
note 3(d) for the Company's policy with respect to an allowance for credit losses.
(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 U.S. dollar and the Euro. We are subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk to the extent that our
costs are denominated in currencies other than those in which we earn revenues. In addition, since our consolidated financial
statements are denominated in U.S. dollars, changes in foreign currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other
currencies have had, and will continue to have, an impact on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
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 fluctuation in the average U.S. dollar in recent years has resulted in material impacts on our revenues in those years. If the
U.S. dollar continues to fluctuate against other currencies, we will experience additional volatility in our financial statements.
A 5% increase/decrease in the relative value of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar and Euro compared to the exchange
rates in effect for the year ended December 31, 2021 would have resulted in lower/higher income from operations of
approximately $1,851. This assumes a consistent 5% appreciation in the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar and the Euro
throughout the fiscal year. The timing of changes in the relative value of the U.S. dollar can affect the magnitude of the impact
that fluctuations in foreign exchange rates have on our income from operations.
(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 short-term and 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.
If interest rates for the year ended December 31, 2021 had increased or decreased by 100 basis points, with all other
variables held constant, net loss for the year ended December 31, 2021 would have increased or decreased by $694.
(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 approximate their fair values due to the short-term period to maturity of these instruments.
The long-term investments represent our interest in WWI, Minda Westport Technologies Limited, and other investments. CWI
was accounted for as assets held for sale. WWI and other investments are accounted for at fair value.
56 | WESTPORT FUEL SYSTEMS INC. 2021 ANNUAL REPORT
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
The carrying values reported in the consolidated balance sheet for obligations under capital and operating leases, which are
based upon discounted cash flows, approximate their fair values.
The carrying value of the term loan facilities, and other bank financing included in the long-term debt (note 15) do not materially
differ from their fair value as at December 31, 2021, as the majority of the term loan facilities, and other bank financing were
raised or amended recently.
The Company categorizes its fair value measurements for items measured at fair value on a recurring basis into three
categories as follows:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted
prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by
observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 – Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine fair value and classify such items in Level 1. When
necessary, Level 2 valuations are performed based on quoted market prices for similar instruments in active markets and/or
model–derived valuations with inputs that are observable in active markets. Level 3 valuations are undertaken in the absence
of reliable Level 1 or Level 2 information.
As at December 31, 2021, cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments are measured at fair value on a recurring
basis and are included in Level 1.
