REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED

PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Plan Administrators of the

SkyWest, Inc. Employees’ Retirement Plan

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for benefits of the SkyWest, Inc. Employees’ Retirement Plan (the Plan) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related statement of changes in assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the changes in assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Plan’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Plan 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 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 financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Supplemental Information

 

The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2017, referred to as supplemental information, has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan’s financial statements. The supplemental information is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information. In forming our opinion on the supplemental information, we evaluated whether the supplemental information, including its form and content, is presented in conformity with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, the supplemental information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

SKYWEST, INC. EMPLOYEES’ RETIREMENT PLAN

Notes to Financial Statements

 

(1)

Description of the Plan

 

The following description of the SkyWest, Inc. Employees’ Retirement Plan (the “Plan”) is provided for general information purposes only.  Participants should refer to the Plan document and summary plan description for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

 

(a)

General

 

SkyWest, Inc. (the “Company”, “Plan Sponsor” or “Employer”) adopted the Plan, effective April 1, 1977.  The Plan is a defined contribution plan and is intended to be a qualified retirement plan under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) of 1986, as amended.  It is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).  The Plan was most recently restated on January 1,  2016.

 

The Plan was established to provide employees with an opportunity to accumulate funds for retirement or disability and to provide death benefits for employees’ dependents and beneficiaries.

 

(b)

Eligibility

 

All of the employees of the Company who have completed 90 days of service are eligible to participate in the Plan.  An eligible employee, who has enrolled, shall become a participant on the first day of the month coinciding with or following the date that the employee meets the eligibility requirements.  Employees must affirmatively elect to participate in the Plan.

 

(c)

Participant Accounts

 

Individual accounts are maintained for each Plan participant.  Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions, the Company’s matching contributions, and an allocation of investment earnings, and is charged with withdrawals and an allocation of investment losses and expenses.  The allocations are based on participant earnings on account balances.  The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.

 

(d)

Contributions

 

Participants elect both the amount of salary reduction contributions and the allocation of the salary reduction contributions among the various investment alternatives within the Plan.  Annual salary reduction contributions cannot exceed the lesser of 100% of the participant’s eligible compensation or the maximum amount allowable under the IRC, which was $18,000 during 2017 ($24,000 for participants age 50 and older).

 

Employees are eligible for the Company match when they have completed one year of service and have enrolled in the Plan.  Employees must be making contributions to the Plan in order to receive the Company match.  During 2017, the Company matched 100% of each eligible participant’s salary reduction contribution up to levels ranging from 2% to 7% of compensation, based on position and years of service.  Additionally, each year the Company may make a discretionary contribution based on its earnings.  An employee is eligible to participate in the discretionary contribution program if he or she has made salary reduction contributions.  The Company made a discretionary contribution in 2017 of $3,548,245.  Company discretionary contributions are allocated based on the participants’ contributions as a percentage of total participant contributions.

 

6


 

(e)

Participant-Directed Options for Investments

 

Participants direct the investment of their contributions and the Company matching and discretionary contributions into various investments offered by the Plan.  Investment options include mutual funds, stable value funds, and SkyWest, Inc. common stock.  Participants may change their elections or transfer investments between funds at any time.

 

Participants with SkyWest, Inc. common stock in their accounts may direct the sale of the stock and the investment of the resulting proceeds into other investments offered by the Plan.

 

(f)

Vesting and Payment of Benefits

 

Participants are immediately vested 100% in their account balances.  Benefits are normally paid at retirement, disability, death, or other termination.  Benefits distributions may be made in a single lump sum payment, installments, or an annuity.  Participants may withdraw funds from the Plan while actively employed subject to specific restrictions set forth in the Plan agreement.

 

(g)

Notes Receivable from Participants

 

The Plan agreement provides for loans to be made to participants and beneficiaries.  The loans must bear a reasonable rate of interest, have specific repayment terms and be adequately secured.  Under no circumstances can the amount of the loan exceed the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of the participant’s vested account balance.

 

(h)

Custodian and Record Keeper

 

Wells Fargo Institutional Trust Services (“Wells Fargo”) provides the record keeping and custodial services for the Plan.  Wells Fargo is also a directed trustee of the Plan.

 

(i)

Parties-in-Interest

 

The Company, participants and Wells Fargo are considered parties-in-interest to the Plan.  The Company’s common stock and Wells Fargo managed mutual funds are investment options in the Plan.

 

(j)

Termination of the Plan

 

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company may terminate the Plan at any time subject to the provisions of the Plan and ERISA.  If the Plan is terminated, the participants have a non-forfeitable interest in their accounts.

 

(2)

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

(a)

Basis of Accounting

 

The Plan’s financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

(b)

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets available for benefits and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported changes in assets available for benefits during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

7


 

(c)

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Plan provides for investments in securities that are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, currency exchange rate, credit and overall market fluctuation.  Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statements of assets available for benefits.

 

(d)

Investment Valuation and Income Recognition

 

Mutual funds are valued at quoted market prices, which represent the net asset values of units held by the Plan at year-end.  Units of the Company’s common stock fund and stable value funds are  valued using the net asset value, which approximates fair value, on the last business day of the Plan year.  Unrealized appreciation or depreciation caused by fluctuations in the market value of investments is recognized in the statement of changes in assets available for benefits.  Dividends and interest are reinvested as earned.  Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a trade-date basis.

 

(e)

Distributions to Participants

 

Distributions to participants are recorded when paid.

 

(f)

Notes Receivable from Participants

 

Notes receivable from participants represent participant loans that are recorded at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Interest income on notes receivable from participants is recorded when it is earned. Related fees are recorded as administrative expenses and are expensed when they are incurred. No allowance for credit losses has been recorded as of December 31, 2017 or 2016. If a participant ceases to make loan repayments and the Plan Administrators deem the participant loan to be a distribution, the participant loan balance is reduced and a benefit payment is recorded.

 

(g)

Administrative Expenses

 

The Plan pays substantially all administrative expenses of the Plan, other than some legal and accounting fees, which are paid by the Plan Sponsor.

 

(h)

Interest and Dividend Income

 

Interest income is recorded as earned on the accrual basis.  Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

 

(i)

Subsequent Events

 

The Plan Administrators have evaluated events occurring subsequent to December 31, 2017 through the date of issuance of these financial statements.

 

(3)

Party-in-Interest Transactions

 

Transactions in shares of the Company’s common stock qualify as exempt party-in-interest transactions under the provisions of ERISA.  The Plan held 884,985 and 957,854 shares of SkyWest, Inc. common stock with a fair value of $19,939,625 and $14,971,687 as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

 

8


 

Plan investments include mutual funds and a collective trust fund managed by Wells Fargo, the Plan trustee, and therefore are party-in-interest transactions.  While transactions involving Plan assets with a party-in-interest may be prohibited, these transactions are exempt under ERISA Section 408(b)(8).

 

Notes receivable from participants totaling $15,407,743 and $15,487,192 as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, are also considered exempt party-in-interest transactions.

 

(4)

Tax Status

 

The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) dated October 10, 2017, stating that the Plan is designed in accordance with applicable sections of the IRC and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation.  As of December 31, 2017, the Plan was required to make certain corrective distributions in order to remain qualified under IRC 401(a).  Subsequent to December 31, 2017, the Plan made the corrective distributions in accordance with IRS regulations.

 

(5)

Fair Value Measurements

 

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  U.S. GAAP establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs when measuring fair value, with the following three levels of inputs:

 

Level 1 — Valuation is based upon quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

 

Level 2 — Valuation is based upon other significant observable inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset developed on market data obtained from sources independent of the Plan.

 

Level 3 — Valuation is based upon unobservable inputs that reflect the assumptions that Plan management believes market participants would use in pricing the asset, based on the best information available.

 

As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Plan held certain assets that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.  Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below (in thousands):

The fair values for the stable value funds and common stock fund are provided above to permit the reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the statements of assets available for

9


 

benefits. The stable value fund and the common stock fund are measured using the net asset value per unit as a practical expedient and therefore are not classified in the fair value hierarchy.

 

The SkyWest, Inc. Common Stock Fund (the “Common Stock Fund”), the Wells Fargo Stable Return Fund and the T. Rowe Price Stable Value (the “Stable Value Funds”) are valued at the net asset value (NAV) of units of the respective funds. The NAV, as provided by the respective fund trustees, is used as a practical expedient to estimating fair value. The NAV is based on the fair value of the underlying investments held by the fund less its liabilities. This practical expedient is not used when it is determined to be probable that the fund will sell the investment for an amount different than the reported NAV.

 

The Stable Value Funds are designed to provide safety of principal with consistency of returns with minimal volatility by employing a strategy of investing in investment contracts and security-backed contracts while employing broad diversification among contract issuers and underlying securities. The Plan Sponsor is able to redeem the investment in the Stable Value Funds by providing a 12-month notice. Although the notice requirement is 12 months, Wells Fargo and T. Rowe Price have indicated the ability to redeem the investment sooner.  Redemption frequency for the Stable Value Funds is immediate, and the Stable Value Funds contain no unfunded commitments. There are no other significant restrictions on the ability to redeem the investment.

 

The Common Stock Fund includes investments in SkyWest, Inc. common stock. Redemption frequency for the Common Stock Fund is immediate, the Common Stock Fund contains no unfunded commitments, and has no redemption restrictions.

 

(6)

Plan Amendments

 

Effective January 1, 2018, the Plan was restated, incorporating all previous amendments, under the IRS pre-approved Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. Defined Contribution Volume Submitter Plan and Trust.
