PRIMECAP Odyssey Funds

 

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

For the six months ended April 30, 2017, the PRIMECAP Odyssey Stock Fund, PRIMECAP Odyssey Growth Fund, and PRIMECAP Odyssey Aggressive Growth Fund produced total returns of +15.54%, +18.11%, and +19.01%, respectively, in each case exceeding the +13.32% total return of the unmanaged S&P 500 Index.

Favorable sector allocations, particularly our underweight positions in consumer staples and energy stocks, contributed to the relative outperformance in each of the funds, with the remaining outperformance due to positive stock selections. Our stock selections in the health care sector added significantly to relative returns in the Growth and Aggressive Growth funds, but not in the Stock fund, while our stock selections in the information technology sector added to relative results in each fund, with the greatest impact in the Growth and Stock funds. Our stock selections in telecommunication services added to relative results in the Aggressive Growth fund.

The United States presidential election occurred at the outset of the six-month period ended April 30, 2017, and President Donald Trump’s unexpected victory led to significant market shifts including higher stock prices and lower bond prices. Within the stock market, financials and cyclicals outperformed while defensive sectors such as consumer staples underperformed. The United States economy slowed to a 0.7% annualized growth rate in the first quarter, though growth is expected to improve through the remainder of 2017. The Federal Reserve is expected to raise interest rates at its June meeting and again later in 2017 and into 2018, with discussions related to the central bank’s $4.5 trillion balance sheet ongoing. Consumer and producer prices are increasing at a roughly 2% annualized rate, and wage gains are beginning to accelerate as the economy reaches full employment. Stronger economic growth could have an outsized impact on profitability for firms exposed to consumer discretionary spending in industries where capacity is relatively fixed in the short term, including our airline and cruise line holdings.

According to Visa, 2016 holiday spending in the United States was the strongest in five years, and consumer spending in Europe is picking up. The disruptive impact of e-commerce on traditional retailers appeared to accelerate over the 2016 holiday season and into 2017. However, we do not believe that the issues facing many firms in the “brick and mortar” retail sector indicate a broader slowdown in consumer spending.

With over 90% of companies in the S&P 500 having reported, first quarter S&P 500 earnings are expected to have grown 13% year-over-year, significantly better than the 9% expected growth going into the quarter. While interest rates and energy prices may significantly impact realized 2017 earnings, first quarter results were encouraging.

Each of the PRIMECAP Odyssey Funds continued to be overweight in the health care, information technology, and industrials sectors, and underweight in the financials, energy, consumer staples, materials, utilities, and real estate sectors.

A more detailed discussion of the results of each PRIMECAP Odyssey Fund follows.

PRIMECAP Odyssey Stock Fund

For the six months ended April 30, 2017, the Stock Fund’s total return of +15.54% exceeded the S&P 500’s total return of +13.32%.

Sector allocations and stock selections contributed roughly equally to the fund’s relative outperformance. Underweight positions in consumer staples and energy added to relative results, while stock selection added most in information technology, notably the fund’s investments in KLA-Tencor (+33%) and NVIDIA (+47%). These positives were partially offset by the fund’s retail holdings, notably L Brands (-25%).

The Stock fund was heavily invested in industrials stocks with a 17% weighting compared to 10% for the sector in the S&P 500 Index. As a result of these investments, which include holdings in machinery and construction companies such as Deere, Caterpillar, AECOM, and Jacobs Engineering, the Stock fund benefited from the rebound in the industrial economy which is underway and which could accelerate further if Congress increases funding for infrastructure as has been widely discussed.

The top 10 holdings, which collectively represented 26.6% of the portfolio at the period end, are listed below:

PRIMECAP Odyssey Growth Fund

For the six months ended April 30, 2017, the Growth Fund returned +18.11%, ahead of both the S&P 500’s +13.32% total return and the Russell 1000 Growth Index’s total return of +15.23%.

The Growth fund’s greater relative outperformance was driven by strong stock selection in health care and information technology. The Growth fund’s health care holdings returned 21%, significantly above the 13% return of the S&P 500 health care sector and the 13% return of the Stock fund’s health care holdings. The strong performance of the Growth fund’s health care portfolio largely related to its biotechnology and pharmaceutical holdings, notably Seattle Genetics (+32%), Nektar Therapeutics (+53%), and Epizyme (+99%).

The Aggressive Growth fund’s relative return was largely related to its health care holdings and its investment in Sprint (+47%). The fund’s health care holdings returned 23%, bolstered by large gains in Exact Sciences (+93%) and Axovant Sciences (+97%).

Outlook

Looking ahead, the ability of the Trump administration and Congressional Republicans to enact tax reform, reduce regulations, increase infrastructure investment, and repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act are likely to remain front and center in the minds of U.S. investors. The House narrowly passed legislation to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, though it is difficult to predict how any new system might compare to the status quo. On tax reform, investors are relatively optimistic with respect to a reduction in the corporate tax rate and a repatriation holiday on profits earned abroad. This is partially offset by the uncertain implications of any potential enactment of a “border adjustment” tax.

The U.S. economy seems to be on firm footing in spite of the weak first quarter GDP reading. Visa has noted that consumer spending growth on payment cards in the United States has broadened over the past 18 months, with increased participation further down the socioeconomic ladder and in less densely populated areas of the country. After a long hiatus, U.S. consumer card balances have begun to increase as consumers gain greater confidence in their financial prospects.

While gasoline prices increased significantly on a year-over-year basis early in 2017, this effect will diminish over the course of the year unless gasoline prices resume an upward trajectory. In spite of an agreement between OPEC and Russia to reduce oil production reached at the end of

November, rising production in the United States due to rapidly declining shale drilling costs kept a lid on oil prices. We expect this trend to persist, and we remain underweight energy stocks. Conversely, our investments in airline, cruise line, and other transportation companies, which consume petroleum-based fuels, stand to benefit from persistently low oil prices.

We remain optimistic about our substantial health care holdings, particularly our biotechnology and pharmaceutical holdings. Biotechnology and pharmaceutical stocks currently trade at a discount to the S&P 500 in light of recent concerns related to drug pricing and uncertainty related to the Affordable Care Act. We expect the industry to grow faster than the broader economy over the long term due to favorable demographic trends and ongoing innovation, and we therefore find our holdings in the area to represent attractive investments at current prices.

As bottom-up stock pickers, we spend our time searching for opportunities to invest in stocks with better long-term prospects than implied by market prices. Our approach often results in portfolios that bear little resemblance to market indices, creating the possibility for substantial deviations in relative performance. One year ago, each of the funds had underperformed the S&P 500 over the preceding six months when our portfolios were out of sync with market trends. Over the past year, each fund significantly outperformed the S&P 500, with the Growth and Aggressive Growth Funds outperforming by especially wide margins. We expect our relative performance to remain volatile, with the potential for sustained periods of relative underperformance when our holdings fall out of favor. We nonetheless believe that this approach can generate superior results for shareholders over the long term.

Sincerely,

PRIMECAP Management Company

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

The funds invest in smaller companies, which involve additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility. All funds may invest in foreign securities, which involves: 1) greater volatility; 2) political, economic, and currency risks; and 3) differences in accounting methods. Mutual fund investing involves risk, and loss of principal is possible. Growth stocks typically are more volatile than value stocks; however, value stocks have a lower expected growth rate in earnings and sales.

Notes to Financial Statements

PRIMECAP Odyssey Funds

For the Six Months Ended April 30, 2017 (Unaudited)

 

(1)  Organization

PRIMECAP Odyssey Funds (the “Trust”) was organized on June 8, 2004 as a Delaware statutory trust and is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The Trust is comprised of three series: PRIMECAP Odyssey Stock Fund, PRIMECAP Odyssey Growth Fund, and PRIMECAP Odyssey Aggressive Growth Fund (the “Funds”), each of which is diversified within the meaning of the 1940 Act. PRIMECAP Management Company (the “Investment Advisor”) serves as investment advisor to the Funds. Each Fund commenced operations on November 1, 2004.

Each Fund’s investment objective is to achieve long-term capital appreciation. Each Fund is authorized to issue unlimited shares of beneficial interest. All shares of each Fund have equal rights with respect to voting. The PRIMECAP Odyssey Aggressive Growth Fund is closed to most new investors.

(2)  Significant Accounting Policies

The Funds consistently follow the accounting policies set forth below which are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The Funds are considered investment companies under U.S. GAAP and follow the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies in the Financial Accounting Standards Board Auditing Standards Codification Topic 946.

 

  A. Security Valuation

Securities traded on a national securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price at the close of regular trading on each day the exchanges are open for trading. Securities traded on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations (“NASDAQ”) are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price, which may not necessarily represent the last sale price. Non-U.S. traded stocks are valued at the last sale price or official closing price in the primary local market where the stock is traded. Securities traded on an exchange for which there have been no sales are valued at the mean between the bid and ask price. Because trading on most non-U.S. exchanges is normally completed before the close of the New York Stock Exchange, the value of securities traded on foreign exchanges can change by the time a Fund calculates its net asset value per share (“NAV”). To address these changes, the Funds may utilize adjustment factors provided by an independent pricing service to systematically value foreign securities at fair value. These adjustment factors are based on statistical analyses of subsequent movement in securities indices, specific security prices, and exchange rates in foreign markets.

Securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued at their respective fair values as determined in good faith by a valuation committee of the Investment Advisor in accordance with procedures approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees. In determining fair value, the Funds take into account all relevant factors and available information. Consequently, the price of a security used by a Fund to calculate its NAV may differ from quoted or published prices for the same security. Fair value pricing involves

 

36


Notes to Financial Statements

PRIMECAP Odyssey Funds

 

For the Six Months Ended April 30, 2017 (Unaudited) – continued

 

subjective judgments, and there is no single standard for determining a security’s fair value. As a result, different mutual funds could reasonably arrive at a different fair value for the same security. It is possible that the fair value determined for a security is materially different from the value that could be realized upon the sale of that security or from the values that other mutual funds may determine.

Investments in other funds are valued at their respective net asset values as determined by those funds, in accordance with the 1940 Act.

 

  B. Share Valuation

The NAV of a Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Fund, plus cash or other assets, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses), by the total number of outstanding shares of the Fund. The result is rounded to the nearest cent. The Funds’ shares will not be priced on the days on which the NYSE is closed for trading.

 

  C. Foreign Currency

Securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates as of 4 p.m. Eastern time on the valuation date. Purchases and sales of investments and dividend and interest income are converted into U.S. dollars using the spot market rate of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such translations. Realized foreign exchange gains or losses may arise from 1) sales of foreign currencies; 2) currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions; and 3) the difference between the recorded amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in foreign exchange rates on foreign denominated assets and liabilities other than investments in securities held at the end of the reporting period. Foreign securities and currency transactions may involve risks not associated with U.S. securities and currency.

 

  D. Federal Income Taxes

Each Fund has elected to be treated as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “IRC”). Each Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and any accumulated net realized capital gains. Accordingly, no provision for Federal income taxes has been made in the financial statements.

The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes on income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation, a portion of which may be reclaimed. The Funds will accrue such taxes and reclaims as applicable based upon their current interpretations of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the markets in which they invest.

Each Fund has adopted accounting standards regarding recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax

expense in the Statement of Operations. During the six months ended April 30, 2017, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. As of April 30, 2017, open tax years include the tax years ended October 31, 2013 through October 31, 2016. No Fund is aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next 12 months.

 

  E. Allocation of Expenses

Each Fund is charged for those expenses directly attributable to it. Expenses that are not directly attributable to a Fund are allocated among the Funds by an appropriate method based on the nature of the expense.

 

  F. Security Transactions, Investment Income, and Distributions

Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Dividend income and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date, and interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses are evaluated on the basis of identified costs. Premiums and discounts on the purchase of securities are amortized/accreted using the effective interest method. U.S. GAAP requires that permanent financial reporting and tax differences be reclassified in the capital accounts.

 

  G. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates, and such differences could be material.

 

  H. Indemnification Obligations

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its current and former officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. Based on experience, the Funds would expect the risk of loss to be minimal.

 

  I. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2016, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission adopted new rules and amended existing rules (together, “final rules”) intended to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is August 1, 2017. Management is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the amendments to Regulation S-X will have on the Funds’ financial statements and related disclosures.

(3)  Investment Transactions

The cost of purchases and the proceeds from sales of securities, excluding short-term investments, for the six months ended April 30, 2017 were as follows:

 

Fund

  Purchases      Sales  

Stock Fund

  $ 692,663,107      $ 180,091,081

  $ 654,473,408      $ 175,392,003  

Aggressive Growth Fund

  $ 369,646,893      $ 260,034,314  

(4)  Valuation Measurements

The Funds have adopted fair valuation accounting standards which establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set forth a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosure about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and a discussion of changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period. These standards define fair value as the price that would be received in the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy is organized into three levels based upon the assumptions (referred to as “inputs”) used to value the asset or liability. These standards state that “observable inputs” reflect the significant assumptions that market participants would use in valuing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources. “Unobservable inputs” reflect the Funds’ own assumptions about the inputs market participants would use to value the asset or liability.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of each Fund’s investments, and the lowest level for any significant input determines leveling. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels below:

 

  Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities to which the Trust has access at the date of measurement.  

 

  Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar or related securities in both active and inactive markets, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and fair value estimates for foreign securities indices).  

 

  Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs to the extent observable inputs are unavailable (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining fair value of investments based on the best available information).

The following table provides the fair value measurements of applicable Fund assets by level within the fair value hierarchy for each Fund as of April 30, 2017. The Funds’ policy is to recognize transfers between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 as of the beginning of the fiscal year. There were no transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 during the reporting period. These assets are measured on a recurring basis.

The Growth and Aggressive Growth Funds received Dyax Corp. Contingent Value Rights (“Dyax CVR”) when Dyax Corp. was acquired by Shire PLC. In valuing Dyax CVR, the Funds considered the final trading price of Dyax Corp. prior to the acquisition, the amount of cash received by Dyax Corp. shareholders, and terms of the Dyax CVR. Dyax CVR are non-tradable.

Expense Example

PRIMECAP Odyssey Funds

(Unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of one or more of the Funds, you incur ongoing costs including management fees and other Fund expenses. This expense example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The expense example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested for a six-month period beginning November 1, 2016 through April 30, 2017.

Actual Expenses

The information in the table adjacent to the heading “Actual Performance” provides actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the column entitled “Expenses Paid during Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The information in the table adjacent to the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” provides hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds’ actual returns. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other mutual funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other mutual funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the information adjacent to the heading “Hypothetical Performance (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different mutual funds. In addition, if transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Privacy Notice

PRIMECAP Odyssey Funds

 

PRIMECAP Management Company

Maintaining the confidentiality of client personal financial information is very important to PRIMECAP Odyssey Funds (the “Trust”) and PRIMECAP Management Company (the “Advisor”). The Advisor and the Trust may collect several types of nonpublic personal information about investors, including:

 

   

Information from forms that investors may fill out and send to the Advisor or the Trust in connection with an account (such as name, address, and social security number).

 

   

Information an investor may give the Advisor or the Trust orally.

 

   

Information about the amount investors have invested in an account.

 

   

Information about any bank account investors may use for transfers between a bank account and a shareholder account.

The Advisor and the Trust will not sell or disclose client personal information to anyone except as permitted or required by law. For example, information collected may be shared with the independent auditors in the course of the annual audit of the Advisor or the Trust. The Advisor or the Trust may also share this information with the Advisor’s or the Trust’s legal counsel, as deemed appropriate, and with regulators. Finally, the Advisor or the Trust may disclose information about clients or investors at the client’s or investor’s request (for example, by sending duplicate account statements to someone designated by the client or investor), or as otherwise permitted or required by law.

Within the Advisor and the Trust, access to information about clients and investors is restricted to those employees or service providers who need to know the information to service client accounts. The Advisor’s employees are trained to follow its procedures to protect client privacy and are instructed to access information about clients only when they have a business reason to obtain it.

The Advisor and the Trust reserve the right to change this privacy policy in the future, but we will not disclose investor nonpublic personal information except as required or permitted by law without giving the investor an opportunity to instruct us not to do so.
