WPRT

Westport Fuel Systems Inc. (“Westport”) (TSX:WPRT / Nasdaq:WPRT) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022 and provided an update on operations. All figures are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.

Highlights

• Revenue of $305.7 million for 2022 and $78.0 million for the fourth quarter, down slightly over comparable periods in 2021 due to the weakening of the Euro against the U.S dollar.
• Net loss of $(32.7) million or $(0.19) per share, compared to net income of $13.7 million in the prior year. For the fourth quarter 2022 net loss was $(16.9) million.
• Adjusted EBITDA1 of $(27.8) million, compared to $17.5 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter was $(12.9) million.
• Cash and cash equivalents were $86.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. Cash used in operating activities during the year was $31.6 million.
• Awarded two programs to develop and supply LPG systems to a global original equipment manufacturer ("OEM") accommodating several Euro 6 and Euro 7 vehicle platforms.
• Announced significant H2 HPDI test results with Scania, that demonstrated the tremendous value and best-in-class performance of our proprietary technology.
• Announced a collaboration with Johnson Matthey, a global leader in sustainable technologies, to develop an emissions after treatment system for H2 HPDI.
• Announced expanded global manufacturing footprint in China to support ongoing and future growth in hydrogen.
• Announced collaboration with a global OEM to evaluate the performance, efficiency and emissions of the OEMs engine equipped with our H2 HPDI fuel system, Westport’s third collaboration of its kind to date.
• Successfully marketed H2 HPDI to a broad global audience of industry participants, OEMs, policymakers, and investors at leading industry events in Brussels, California, Hanover and Washington.

"Amid a challenging macro environment in 2022, Westport was transitioning past its partnership with Cummins towards growth and a hydrogen future. The termination and sale of the Cummins Westport joint venture along with the impact of foreign exchange negatively impacted both top and bottom line results. Absent the impact of foreign exchange, revenue would have increased by 9% year-over-year, a significant improvement given the environment our industry has faced. Our delayed OEM business, fuel storage, hydrogen components, and electronics products all saw significant sales growth in addition to growth in volumes to our OEM customers in India. Unfortunately, these strengths were offset by the impact of high natural gas prices on European market sales to light-duty and heavy-duty OEMs.

Looking to 2023, and supported by strengthening fundamentals, our focus is on what we can control: driving margin expansion, revenue growth and technology development will drive our success in the future. We remain focused on growth in our key markets – Europe, India, and China which helps us achieve sustainable profitability as the demand for clean, affordable low emissions transportation solutions grows.

As innovation and technology development is a cornerstone of our business, we plan to build on the success we saw in 2022 introducing, and educating our customers, and the market about our H2 HPDI™ solution. We will continue to work directly with key OEMs to advance evaluation of our solution for long-haul, heavy-duty transport. Westport is part of the solution with products that are accelerating the reduction of GHG emissions, now."

David M. Johnson, Chief Executive Officer

4Q22 and Full Year 2022 Operations

We generated revenues of $78.0 million and $305.7 million in the three months and year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $82.7 million and $312.4 million for three months and year ended December 31, 2021, respectively.

Revenues for the full year 2022 decreased primarily due to the weakening of the Euro against the U.S. dollar. Excluding foreign currency translation, total revenues would have increased by $27.7 million or 9%. The full year impact of the acquisition of our fuel storage business in June 2021, increased sales volume of our hydrogen and electronics products, higher delayed-OEM volumes and increased sales volumes to OEMs in India of our light-duty OEM products contributed to the growth in revenues, which were negatively impacted by the fuel price volatility, lower sales volume to Russian customers in the independent aftermarket and OEM businesses from the ongoing Russian-Ukraine conflict, and lower sales of CNG and LNG products due to higher natural gas prices in the European market.

Net loss for the fourth quarter in 2022 was $(16.9) million, or $(0.10) per share, compared to net income of $5.4 million, or $0.04 per share, for the same period in 2021. Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $(32.7) million, or $(0.19) per share, compared to net income of $13.7 million for the prior year. The net loss was primarily attributed to lower gross margins a result of a combination of the foreign exchange rate and increasing material, manufacturing and labour costs and the loss of equity income from the termination and sale of the Cummins Westport Inc. ("CWI") joint venture.

We reported Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"), see "Non-GAAP Measures" section in the MD&A) of $(27.8) million for the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to $17.5 million in the prior year.

Segment Information

Original Equipment Manufacturer

OEM revenue for the three months and year ended December 31, 2022 was $47.8 million and $198.0 million, respectively, compared with $57.4 million and $195.5 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2021. The decrease of $9.6 million as compared to the fourth quarter 2021 was primarily driven by the decrease in average Euro rate versus the U.S. dollar and a decrease in sales for our light-duty OEM business, partially offset by higher sales volumes of our fuel storage, delayed-OEM, hydrogen, and electronics businesses.

Our heavy-duty OEM sales volumes decreased by 50% in the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to the prior year period mainly due to the unfavorable fuel price differential between LNG and diesel in Europe driven by the shortage of LNG supply, which caused a reduction in volumes.

Revenue for the OEM business segment increased by $2.5 million for the year, primarily driven increased sales volumes to OEMs in India of our light-duty CNG products where we continue to see strong government support and policies in place for the significant expansion of CNG vehicles, increased sales volumes of our electronics, fuel storage, hydrogen and delayed-OEM products. This was partially offset by lower sales volumes in Western Europe for our light-duty OEM products, lower year-over-year revenues in our heavy-duty OEM business, and foreign exchange impact from the strengthening of US dollar against the Euro when translating our financial statements.

Independent Aftermarket

Revenue for the three months and year ended December 31, 2022 was $30.2 million and $107.7 million, respectively, compared with $25.3 million and $116.9 million for the three months and year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2022 compared to the prior year period was primarily driven by increased sales to Eastern Europe, Western Europe particularly Italy, and Asia Pacific. This was partially offset by the aforementioned foreign exchange impact of the Euro versus U.S. dollars.

The decrease in revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the prior year was primarily driven by lower sales volumes to the Russian market due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, lower sales volumes to Turkey and Argentina, and the aforementioned foreign exchange impact. Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 included a large one-time infrastructure project of $5.3 million in Tanzania to build fueling infrastructure to enable the sale and operation of gaseous fueled vehicles.

2023 Outlook

2023 is a year of change for Westport, as we continue to deliver sustainably in our existing markets while unlocking new and emerging markets through the delivery of our cleaner, affordable transportation solutions. Though headwinds still remain for our industry, including the Russia/Ukraine conflict, supply chain issues, and inflationary concerns, we remain confident in our ability to execute on our plans for 2023, focusing on what we can control, driving margin and revenue expansion and developing technology for the future.

Effecting change in our cost structure is a priority in 2023. New customer supply agreements have been secured and work is underway to enhance top line revenue further with additional volume expansion throughout the business which has the added benefit of driving economies of scale. On the cost side, a slate of efficiency improvements will be put in place throughout the year focused on optimizing various business units and improving financial performance, while working constantly to lower and mitigate input costs.

We remain prudent in our liquidity management. The capital program in place for 2023 of $12-$15 million is focused on advancing our work with hydrogen and adding test cell capacity.

In 2024 and beyond, we expected improved profitability and growth as we begin to benefit from the changes made in 2023, in addition to demonstrated growth in our core business. Adoption of alternative fuels for transportation applications continues to accelerate and is expected to experience a step change increase as the regulatory requirements become increasingly more stringent beginning in 2025 in many of our key markets, including Europe, India and China. Our HPDI fuel system solution using Bio LNG or hydrogen is one of Westport's clean, affordable products that addresses these regulatory requirements now and into the future.

GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("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 and certain investors use 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. 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 Westports' 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.
