Grundlag for konklusion (revision):We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) and the additional requirements applicable in Den-mark. Our responsibilities under those standards and requirements are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. IndependenceWe are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Profes-sional Accountants (IESBA Code) and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark. We have also fulfilled our other ethical respon-sibilities in accordance with the IESBA Code. To the best of our knowledge and belief, prohibited non-audit services referred to in Article 5(1) of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 were not provided. AppointmentWe were first appointed auditors of Vestas Wind Systems A/S on 5 May 1999 for the financial year 1999. We have been reappointed annually by shareholder resolution for a total period of uninterrupted engagement of 22 years including the financial year 2020.
Konklusion (revision):In our opinion, the Consolidated Financial Statements give a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position at 31 December 2020 and of the results of the Group’s operations and cash flows for the financial year 1 January to 31 December 2020 in accordance with Internatio-nal Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and further requirements in the Danish Financial Statements Act. Moreover, in our opinion, the Parent Company Financial Statements give a true and fair view of the Parent Company’s financial position at 31 December 2020 and of the results of the Parent Company’s opera-tions for the financial year 1 January to 31 December 2020 in accord-ance with the Danish Financial Statements Act. Our opinion is consistent with our Auditor’s Long-form Report to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors. What we have auditedThe Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements of Vestas Wind Systems A/S for the financial year 1 January to 31 December 2020 comprise income statement, balance sheet, statement of changes in equity and notes, including summary of significant accounting policies for the Group as well as for the Parent Company, and statement of comprehensive income and statement of cash flows for the Group.

Udtalelse om ledelsesberetningen (revision):Management is responsible for Management’s Review pages 003-062 and pages 133-139. Our opinion on the Financial Statements døs not cover Management’s Review, and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the Financial Statements, our respon-sibility is to read Management’s Review and, in doing so, consider whether Management’s Review is materially inconsistent with the Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or other-wise appears to be materially misstated. Moreover, we considered whether Management’s Review includes the disclosures required by the Danish Financial Statements Act. Based on the work we have performed, in our view, Management’s Review is in accordance with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements and has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Danish Financial Statements Act. We did not identify any material misstatement in Management’s Review.
