INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Shareholders of WestJet Airlines Ltd.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of WestJet Airlines Ltd., which comprise the consolidated
statement of financial position as at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the consolidated statement of earnings, changes in
equity, cash flows and comprehensive income for the years then ended, and notes, comprising a summary of significant accounting
policies and other explanatory information.
Management's Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the
preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits
in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical
requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statement s
are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial
statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the
consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control
relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s
internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of
WestJet Airlines Ltd. as at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and its consolidated financial performance and its
consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.
