PRIMECAP Odyssey Funds

 

Dear Fellow Shareholders,

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, the PRIMECAP Odyssey Stock Fund, PRIMECAP Odyssey Growth Fund, and PRIMECAP Odyssey Aggressive Growth Fund produced total returns of +45.44%, +41.97%, and +35.53%, respectively. The unmanaged S&P 500 Index produced a total return of +42.91% during the period. Sector allocation generally detracted from results relative to the S&P 500, while the impact from stock selection varied widely by Fund.

The fiscal year featured a steady rise in the equity markets alongside an uneven economic recovery. U.S. indices continued their aggressive upswing – the S&P 500 doubled from its March 2020 low to its fiscal year-end record high – as last year’s initial bounce, powered primarily by Big Tech and other pandemic beneficiaries, yielded to broader cyclical strength. Oil prices and interest rates rebounded during the fiscal year, ushering the energy (+111%) and financials (+72%) sectors sharply higher. Meanwhile, more defensive sectors, such as consumer staples (+19%) and utilities (+11%), lagged the market but still registered gains.

The improvement in underlying economic activity was less uniform. Following last winter’s alarming scourge, when the country retrenched amid several thousand daily Covid-related deaths, our springtime reopening signaled a robust economic renewal. More than 150 million Americans achieved ‘fully vaccinated’ status by mid-year, and daily deaths plummeted more than 90 percent. The Federal Reserve in June forecasted 7 percent real GDP growth for 2021, an annual growth rate not seen since 1984.

But the euphoria was short-lived. The highly transmissible Delta variant surfaced, powering yet another wave of infection. Meanwhile, abundant monetary-fiscal stimulus collided with fragile supply chains, inducing worrisome inflation. The recovery’s momentum thus stalled somewhat –the Federal Reserve now estimates less than 6 percent real GDP growth for 2021. Despite this economic stumble, the equity market, which briefly ceded ground in September, promptly returned to peak levels by October.

In this environment, the Funds rose significantly in absolute terms but managed only a mixed relative report card. Last year’s major themes largely reversed – value and small-capitalization stocks outpaced growth and large-cap stocks this year, respectively, while the performance of the energy and financials sectors flipped from worst to first. This market context was particularly amenable to the Stock Fund, where strong selection delivered robust returns.

But the Growth and Aggressive Growth Funds, facing a less forgiving climate, trailed the benchmark. These Funds’ outsized biotechnology ownership (more than 15 percent of each Fund’s average assets versus less than 2 percent of the S&P 500 Index), a driver of long-term outperformance, instead pressured results this year. The NASDAQ Biotechnology Index logged an unexceptional +22% gain, implying a biotechnology-specific allocation headwind of several hundred basis points per Fund. Compounding this pain, several key positions underperformed.

The Funds have nonetheless maintained their health care sector overweight positions, and recent weakness has only strengthened our conviction in these holdings’ long-term prospects. Each of the Funds also held an overweight position in the industrials sector and an underweight position in the energy, real estate, consumer staples, communication services, materials, and utilities sectors. Within the information technology, consumer discretionary, and financials sectors, positioning varied by Fund. The Stock Fund maintained a modest underweight in information technology and consumer discretionary, but an overweight in financials; the Growth Fund held an underweight position in information technology and financials, but a slight overweight position in consumer discretionary. And the Aggressive Growth Fund featured overweight positions in information technology and consumer discretionary, but a substantial underweight position in financials.

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

PRIMECAP Odyssey Stock Fund

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, the Stock Fund’s total return of +45.44% exceeded the S&P 500’s total return of +42.91%. Relative to the S&P 500, favorable stock selection drove the outperformance, while sector allocation acted as a partial offset.

All three Odyssey Funds faced multiple allocation headwinds: an underweight position in the energy sector (1% of average Stock Fund assets versus 3% for the index), which more than doubled (+111%) during the period after nearly halving the previous year; an overweight position (23% versus 13%) in health care (+34%); and a substantial drag from a small cash position. Likewise, across all three Funds, limited exposure to the two worst-performing sectors, utilities (+11%) and consumer staples (+19%), provided a partial offset. The Stock Fund’s financials overweight position (13% versus 11%), which contrasts with its Odyssey Fund peers’ underweight positions, served as an additional mitigant.

And this financials exposure proved even more beneficial at the individual stock level, where many of last year’s laggards registered healthy results. Wells Fargo (+142%), Bank of America (+106%), and JPMorgan Chase (+78%) led the big banks’ outperformance; all three finished the period as Top 10 Fund holdings. Charles Schwab (+102%) and Discover Financial Services (+78%) also tallied significant gains.

Stock selection elsewhere was also broadly favorable. Within information technology, the Fund’s differentiated exposure to semiconductors and technology hardware companies, including Applied Materials (+133%), NetApp (+109%), and KLA Corporation (+92%), more than offset a disappointing year from Ericsson (-2%) and inadequate exposure to NVIDIA (+104%) and bellwether Microsoft (+65%). Within materials, our position in lithium producer Albemarle (+171%) nearly tripled as vehicle electrification trends accelerated. And within industrials, where selection was more neutral, strength in Airbus (+76%) and AECOM (+53%) countered weakness in FedEx (-8%), whose earnings outlook succumbed to elevated cost inflation.

Health care was the lone weak spot. The Fund’s largest holding, pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly (+99%), had a stellar year, including achieving Breakthrough Therapy designation for its blockbuster-potential Alzheimer’s drug. But this performance failed to compensate for substantial relative weakness in several biopharmaceutical peers, most notably Amgen (-2%), Bristol-Myers Squibb (+3%), Biogen (+6%), and Astrazeneca (+28%).

The top 10 holdings, which collectively represented 29.8% of the portfolio at the period end, are listed below:

PRIMECAP Odyssey Growth Fund

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, the Growth Fund returned +41.97%, slightly trailing both the S&P 500’s +42.91% total return and the Russell 1000 Growth Index’s total return of +43.21%. Favorable stock selection roughly offset unfavorable sector allocation relative to the S&P 500.

Sector allocation was somewhat worse than that of the Stock Fund due in large part to the Growth Fund’s lesser exposure to financials (9% of average assets) and greater allocation to health care (30%). This was only partially offset by the Growth Fund’s higher exposure to energy (2%), which served to reduce that sector’s headwind.

Stock selection was again favorable overall. 3D printing company Stratasys (+147%) and cybersecurity solutions company BlackBerry (+141%), two information technology stocks that rode the

meme-stock roller coaster at times, finished the year at much higher levels; their gains more than compensated for underperformance from Splunk (-17%). Within consumer discretionary, despite a large position in Tesla (+187%) that notched dramatic gains ahead of its December index inclusion, the Growth Fund’s significant stake in Alibaba (-46%), which suffered under increased Chinese regulatory scrutiny, provided a complete offset. And in health care, where the Fund’s portfolio (+20%) badly lagged the benchmark (+34%), several additional biotechnology stocks faced company-specific challenges. FibroGen (-71%) experienced both clinical missteps and regulatory setbacks, while Epizyme (-66%) missed expectations with the anemic launch of its new oncology drug. Seagen (+6%), BioMarin (+6%), and BeiGene (+21%) also underperformed.

PRIMECAP Odyssey Aggressive Growth Fund

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, the Aggressive Growth Fund’s total return of +35.53% trailed both the S&P 500’s total return of +42.91% and the Russell Midcap Growth Index’s total return of +39.43%. Both sector allocation and stock selection detracted from results relative to the S&P 500.

The Aggressive Growth Fund faced the greatest sector allocation headwind of the Odyssey Funds, a function of less exposure to the year’s two best-performing sectors, energy (less than one-half percent of average assets) and financials (5%). The Fund also delivered unfavorable stock selection results, a notable departure from the Stock and Growth Funds’ positive performances.

Stock selection was quite positive within information technology. In addition to contributions from BlackBerry (+141%) and NetApp (+109%), the Aggressive Growth Fund also benefited from several differentiated positions, including HubSpot (+179%), Axcelis Technologies (+149%), MaxLinear (+138%), and Wolfspeed (+89%). Weakness in both Splunk (-17%) and Universal Display (-7%) provided a partial offset. Selection also provided a net benefit in consumer discretionary, as an even larger Tesla position, alongside Chinese electric vehicle producer Xpeng (+141%), were sufficient to overcome a sizable Alibaba stake and a decline in education technology company Chegg (-19%).

The story was quite different in financials and health care. MarketAxess (-24%), a source of strength last year, reversed course and weighed heavily on results; in addition, far less exposure to the big banks proved detrimental to the Fund. And in health care, the Fund’s biotechnology-skewed portfolio created an insurmountable sector headwind. In addition to familiar weakness in FibroGen, Epizyme, Biogen, and Seagen, the Aggressive Growth Fund’s larger stakes in Rhythm Pharmaceuticals (-46%) and Nektar Therapeutics (-4%) exacerbated the portfolio’s underperformance. This collective deficit swamped the Fund’s positive contribution from BioNTech (+227%), which soared as its mRNA-based Covid vaccine gained traction globally.

Outlook

Our view on U.S. equities overall remains conflicted. Importantly, we continue to view equities as relatively attractive compared to conventional alternatives. However, we still assess inflation as an underappreciated risk. Treasury yields jumped during the period (the 10-year Treasury yield increased from 0.9% to 1.6%) but remain historically low. The 10-year breakeven inflation rate, a market-based gauge of inflation expectations, finished the period higher than year-ago levels (2.5% versus 1.7%), but a mid-2 percent reading is hardly a distress signal. The market’s apparent complacency reflects the Federal Reserve’s ongoing characterization of inflation as a “transitory” phenomenon, even as price increases have persisted.

The market has thus managed to preserve its elevated valuation; the S&P 500 Index traded at a 20.9x P/E valuation on 2022 estimated earnings at period-end. This valuation metric has stabilized somewhat, with more recent index advances only modestly outpacing the upward revisions to estimated earnings. But absolute valuation levels are historically expensive. Coupled with stubbornly high inflation readings, this dynamic necessarily tempers our outlook.

And today’s macroeconomic uncertainty has a geopolitical complement in China’s increasingly strident posture. Ahead of Xi Jinping’s anticipated transition from two-term President to indefinite Chairman, U.S.-China relations have unambiguously soured. As just one example, China’s assertive behavior towards Taiwan of late has generated rare bipartisan antagonism. China’s rise as a global superpower has been a multi-decade development, and, unsurprisingly, dozens of Fund holdings have business links to the country. But from an investment perspective, the latest Sino-American tension has upped the proverbial ante for such ties.

Despite these twin top-down concerns, however, as bottom-up analysts we believe the Funds own individual stocks whose share prices underestimate our assessment of long-term value – even companies in obvious proximity to such risk factors. Alibaba is one such example; the stock’s abrupt descent (-46%) in an escalating market was a substantial relative blow for both the Growth and Aggressive Growth Funds, as the company became a posterchild for China’s increased scrutiny of private enterprise. Despite the painful equity reset, Alibaba’s underlying Asia-centric businesses continue to grow rapidly. The so-called “Amazon of China” sports a comparably large vision and addressable market as its American peer, and yet the company finished the year at less than one-quarter of Amazon’s valuation (0.4 trillion-dollar enterprise value versus 1.8) and one-third its multiple (16x P/E versus 50x).

China’s ongoing pivot weighed on other stocks, too. Neither search engine Baidu (+22%) nor oncology biotech BeiGene (+21%) were in China’s crosshairs, but both key holdings suffered as collateral damage. And Intel (+14%), a sizable Stock Fund position, also underperformed, though perhaps paradoxically. The threat of regional hostility should boost Intel’s strategic value as the only leading-edge semiconductor manufacturer outside of Asia – The Computer Inside the Western world, in Intel sloganeering. Regardless, these geopolitical considerations are secondary to our belief in Intel’s vast inherent potential. Our thesis imagines a reinvigorated Intel reclaiming its technological leadership in advanced processor manufacturing – a deeply contrarian conviction for a company trading as a bygone champion at just 13x P/E.

Finally, as previously noted, the Funds’ biotechnology holdings detracted from results. This weakness included sluggish performances from several bellwethers, plus a few significant declines tied to clinical setbacks or botched drug launches. As long-time biotechnology owners, we carry ample scars from volatile industry performance, with extreme stock-specific moves a routine feature. In this instance, several independent events went against the Funds, a rare confluence of bad news. Notwithstanding the recent pain, we are undeterred; we continue to view the industry as a highly attractive source of long-term value creation.

Covid’s unwelcome impact has been more devastating and lasting than we first contemplated. And yet the core of our original conviction has sustained: normalcy will ultimately return. The contours of society have no doubt forever shifted, but society’s underlying purpose – our collective humanity – endures. As Covid evolves from pandemic to endemic, we believe this collective humanity, briefly obscured by both virus and fiat, will flourish once more, and our portfolio continues to be positioned for this eventuality.

Sincerely,

PRIMECAP Management Company

Notes to Financial Statements

PRIMECAP Odyssey Funds

For the Year Ended October 31, 2021

 

(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

 

42


Notes to Financial Statements

PRIMECAP Odyssey Funds

 

For the Year Ended October 31, 2021 – 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 New York Stock Exchange 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.

Private Investment in Public Equity (PIPE)

The Funds may acquire equity securities of an issuer that are issued through a PIPE transaction, including on a when-issued basis. PIPE transactions typically involve the purchase of securities directly from a publicly traded company or its affiliates in a private placement transaction, typically at a discount to the market price of the issuer’s common equity. Shares in PIPEs generally are not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission until after a certain time-period from the date the private sale is completed (“Restricted Period”), which can last for several months. Until the public registration process is completed, PIPEs are restricted as to resale and the Funds cannot freely trade the securities.

 

  E.

Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPACs)

SPACs are collective investment structures that allow public stock market qualified investors to invest in PIPE shares. SPACs are shell companies that have no operations

 

43


Notes to Financial Statements

but go public with the intention of merging with or acquiring a company with the proceeds of the SPAC’s initial public offering (“IPO”). The Funds may enter into a commitment with a SPAC to purchase PIPE shares if and when the SPAC completes its merger or acquisition. Purchased PIPE shares will be restricted from trading until the registration statement for the shares is declared effective. Upon registration, the shares can be freely sold. The Aggressive Growth Fund had an unfunded commitment outstanding of $30,650,000 to purchase PIPE shares as of October 31, 2021.

 

  F.

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 year ended October 31, 2021, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. As of October 31, 2021, open tax years include the tax years ended October 31, 2018 through October 31, 2021. No Fund is aware of any tax positions for which it is more likely than not that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits or loss will significantly change in the next 12 months.

 

  G.

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.

 

  H.

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.

 

  I.

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

 

44


Notes to Financial Statements

PRIMECAP Odyssey Funds

 

For the Year Ended October 31, 2021 – continued

 

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.

 

  J.

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.

 

  K.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On October 28, 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted new regulations governing the use of derivatives by registered investment companies (“Rule 18f-4”). The Funds will be required to implement and comply with Rule 18f-4 by August 19, 2022. Once implemented, Rule 18f-4 will impose limits on the amount of derivatives a fund can enter into, eliminate the asset segregation framework currently used by funds to comply with Section 18 of the 1940 Act, treat derivatives as senior securities and require funds whose use of derivatives is more than a limited specified exposure amount to establish and maintain a comprehensive derivatives risk management program and appoint a derivatives risk manager. The Funds currently do not hold derivatives.

In December 2020, the SEC adopted a new rule providing a framework for fund valuation practices (“Rule 2a-5”). Rule 2a-5 establishes requirements for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. Rule 2a-5 will permit fund boards to designate certain parties to perform fair value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions. Rule 2a-5 also defines when market quotations are “readily available” for purposes of the 1940 Act and the threshold for determining whether a fund must fair value a security. In connection with Rule 2a-5, the SEC also adopted related recordkeeping requirements and is rescinding previously issued guidance, including with respect to the role of a board in determining fair value and the accounting and auditing of fund investments. The Funds will be required to comply with the rules by September 8, 2022. Management is currently assessing the potential impact of the new rules on the Funds’ financial statements.

Aggressive Growth Fund

  $ 954,390,286      $ 2,119,321,578  

(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 Aggressive Growth Fund received Ligand Pharmaceuticals Contingent Value Rights (the “Ligand CVR”) when Pfenex Inc. (“Pfenex”) was acquired by Ligand Pharmaceuticals Inc. in October 2020. Holders of Ligand CVR receive $2 per right if certain determinations are made by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “USFDA”) with respect to Bonsity, a treatment for osteoporosis. If the USFDA does not make the determinations required by the terms of the CVR, rights holders receive nothing. During the year ended October 31, 2021, the Funds determined the fair value of Ligand CVR considering available information including the final trading price of Pfenex prior to the acquisition, the amount of cash received by Pfenex shareholders, the terms of the Ligand CVR, and disclosures made by Ligand in its financial reporting. Ligand CVR are non-tradeable.

Net investment income and net realized gains differ for financial statement and tax purposes due to differing treatments of deferred wash sale losses.

At October 31, 2021 the differences in the basis for federal income tax purposes and financial reporting purposes are due to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

U.S. GAAP requires that permanent book-to-tax differences be reclassified among the components of net assets. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2021, the following reclassifications were made:

 

    Undistributed
Net Investment
Gain (Loss)
     Accumulated
Net Realized
Gain (Loss)
     Paid In Capital  

Stock Fund

  $ 109,255      $ (80,303,199)      $ 80,193,944

Aggressive Growth Fund

  $ 56,054,809      $ (155,204,973)      $ 99,150,164  

The Funds used a tax accounting practice to treat a portion of the price of capital shares redeemed during the year as distributions from net realized capital gains. The PRIMECAP Odyssey Stock Fund, PRIMECAP Odyssey Growth Fund, and PRIMECAP Odyssey Aggressive Growth Fund reclassified $80,303,199, $150,236,359, and $155,204,973, respectively, from Accumulated Net Realized Gain to Paid In Capital. Other permanent book-to-tax differences that required reclassification among the Funds’ capital accounts related to foreign currency adjustments and net operating losses. The PRIMECAP Odyssey Aggressive Growth Fund deferred, on a tax basis, late-year ordinary losses of $3,231,073.

(8)  Other Matters

The global outbreak of COVID-19 (commonly referred to as “coronavirus”) has disrupted economic markets, and the prolonged economic impact is uncertain. The ultimate economic fallout from the pandemic, and the long-term impact on economies, markets, industries, and individual issuers, are not known. The operational and financial performance of the issuers of securities in which each Fund invests depends on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, and such developments may negatively impact the value of each Fund’s investments and lead to losses. The ultimate impact of COVID-19 on the financial performance of each Fund’s investments is not reasonably estimable at this time.

(9)  Subsequent Events

The Funds have evaluated subsequent events through the issuance of the financial statements and determined that no events have occurred that require disclosure.

PRIMECAP Odyssey Stock Fund,

PRIMECAP Odyssey Growth Fund, and

PRIMECAP Odyssey Aggressive Growth Fund

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of PRIMECAP Odyssey Stock Fund, PRIMECAP Odyssey Growth Fund, and PRIMECAP Odyssey Aggressive Growth Fund (constituting PRIMECAP Odyssey Funds, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of October 31, 2021, the related statements of operations for the year ended October 31, 2021, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2021, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2021 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of October 31, 2021, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2021 and each of the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended October 31, 2021 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ 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 Funds 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 of these financial statements 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.

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. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2021 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

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 May 1, 2021 through October 31, 2021.

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.

General Information

As part of the annual contract review process, the Independent Trustees, through counsel to the Trust and the Independent Trustees, requested and received extensive materials, including information related to the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the Funds by the Advisor; the short- and long-term performance of each Fund relative to the performance of market indices and other funds in its Morningstar, Inc. (“Morningstar”) institutional category as selected by Broadridge Financial Solutions (“Broadridge”); the advisory fees paid to the Advisor and the total expense ratio of each Fund compared to the advisory fees and the total expense ratios of other funds in the Fund’s Morningstar retail category; financial information for the Advisor and information related to the profitability to the Advisor of the investment advisory agreement with the Trust; the extent to which the Advisor expects to achieve economies of scale in connection with the services it provides to each Fund; any ancillary or “fall out” benefits that the Advisor may derive from its relationship with the Funds; and the personnel of the Advisor providing services to the Funds. The Independent Trustees also requested and received information regarding the Advisor’s risk controls, risk evaluation processes, compliance program (including brokerage and trading processes), information technology infrastructure (including cyber security measures), business continuity plans, and other matters.

The Trust engaged Broadridge to prepare an independent expense and performance analysis for each Fund. Broadridge used data compiled by Morningstar to compare the expenses and performance of each Fund to those of similar funds managed by other advisors identified by Broadridge. The Board reviewed the Broadridge materials, which included comparisons of the performance and risk profile of each Fund to those of relevant market indices and of other funds in the relevant Morningstar institutional and retail categories and in a smaller group of funds selected by Broadridge (each a “peer group”). The Broadridge materials also included for each Fund comparisons of advisory fees and total expenses to those of other funds in the relevant Morningstar category and peer group.

With respect to investment performance, the Trustees noted that the Advisor had made quarterly presentations to the Board regarding the Funds’ portfolio construction, investment strategies, and results. The Trustees also noted that in addition to meeting with the Funds’ portfolio managers on a quarterly basis, they also received presentations from different investment analysts throughout the year on specific investment sectors and each Fund’s investments in those sectors. In considering the renewal of the agreement, the Board also took into account other information it had received at past Board and committee meetings with respect to various matters.

The Trustees reviewed information from counsel to the Trust and the Independent Trustees regarding their responsibilities in considering whether to renew the investment advisory agreement for an additional one-year period. In connection with their deliberations, the Board considered such information and factors that they believed to be relevant. The Board considered renewal of the investment advisory agreement separately for each Fund, although the Board took into account the common interests of all the Funds in its review. In considering these matters, the Board discussed the renewal of the investment advisory agreement with management, and the

Trustees who are not employees of the Advisor met in a private session with counsel to the Trust and the Independent Trustees at which no employees of the Advisor were present.

In deciding to approve the renewal of the investment advisory agreement, the Board and the Independent Trustees did not identify a single factor that was controlling. The Board and the Independent Trustees concluded that each of the various factors referred to below favored such approval. The following summary describes the key factors considered by the Trustees and their conclusions that formed the basis for approving the renewal of the investment advisory agreement in light of the legal advice furnished by counsel and their own business judgment. This summary is not inclusive of all of the factors considered, and each Trustee did not necessarily attribute the same weight to each factor.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services

The Board considered the services provided by the Advisor to the Funds under the investment advisory agreement, including the background, education, and experience of the Advisor’s key portfolio management, compliance, and operational personnel; its overall financial strength and stability; its resources and efforts to retain, attract, and motivate capable personnel to serve the Funds; and the overall general quality and depth of its organization. The Board also took into account the experience, capability, and integrity of the Advisor’s senior management, the time that senior management commits to the Funds, and the Advisor’s demonstrated commitment to the Funds; its investment philosophy and processes, including its brokerage and trading practices; its disaster recovery and contingency planning; its oversight of the Funds’ internal control environment with regard to compliance with applicable laws and regulations; and the significant investment by each portfolio manager in the Funds that he manages, which helps align his interests with those of Fund shareholders. The Trustees concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services provided under the investment advisory agreement were of a high level and satisfactory.

Investment Performance

The Board assessed the performance of each Fund compared with the performance of its benchmark(s) and other funds in the Fund’s Morningstar retail category and peer group for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended July 31, 2021. The Board made the following observations in reviewing the Funds’ performance:

 

   

The annualized total return of the PRIMECAP Odyssey Stock Fund outperformed the S&P 500 Index for the one-year and since inception periods ended July 31, 2021, although it underperformed the S&P 500 Index during the three-, five-, and ten-year periods ended July 31, 2021, by 4.18%, 1.54%, and 0.81%, respectively. The Fund outperformed the medians of funds in the Morningstar Large Relative Value category and peer group for the one-year period. The Fund’s annualized total return was above the median of funds in the Morningstar category for the five- and ten-year periods, but below the median of funds in the category for the three-year period by 1.65%. The Fund’s annualized total returns were below the median returns of the peer group for the three-, five- and ten-year periods by 1.48%, 0.61%, and 0.10%, respectively.

The annualized total returns of the PRIMECAP Odyssey Growth Fund outperformed the S&P 500 Index for the one-, five-, and ten-year and since inception periods ended July 31, 2021, although it underperformed the S&P 500 Index during the three-year period ended July 31, 2021, by 5.26%. The Fund’s annualized total returns underperformed its secondary benchmark, the Russell 1000 Growth Index, for the three-, five-, and ten-year and since inception periods by 12.39%, 5.92%, 2.83% and 0.76%, respectively. The Fund outperformed the medians of funds in the Morningstar Large Core Growth category and peer group for the one-year period. For the three-, five- and ten-year periods, the Fund’s annualized total returns were below the Morningstar category’s median return by 10.42%, 4.58% and 1.44%, respectively. The Fund’s annualized total returns were below the median returns of the peer group for the three-, five- and ten-year periods by 10.41%, 3.79%, and 0.97%, respectively.

 

   

The annualized total returns of the PRIMECAP Odyssey Aggressive Growth Fund were above the returns of the Fund’s primary benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, and its secondary benchmark, the Russell Mid Cap Growth Index, for the ten-year and since inception periods ended July 31, 2021. The Fund’s annualized total return was above the return of the S&P 500 Index for the five-year period but below the return of the Index for the one- and three-year periods by 0.09% and 4.77%, respectively. The Fund outperformed the Russell Mid Cap Growth Index for the one-year period, but the Fund’s annualized total returns for the three- and five-year periods were below the returns of the Russell Mid Cap Growth Index by 8.55% and 1.54%, respectively. The Fund’s performance was above the median of funds in the Morningstar All Cap Growth category for the ten-year period. For the one-, three-, and five-year periods, the Fund returned 3.69%, 6.68% and 1.73% less than the category median, respectively. The Fund’s annualized total returns exceeded the peer group medians for the five- and ten-year periods but were lower than the peer group medians for the one- and three-year periods by 4.13% and 5.20%, respectively.

In assessing the performance of the Funds, the Trustees considered the Advisor’s explanation that the Funds’ recent strong performance relative to their respective indices and peer groups and Morningstar categories over various periods were principally due to the decreased impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the U.S. economy and increased vaccination rates, which led to broader optimism and consumer confidence. The Trustees also considered that as the Advisor had reported in 2020, the Funds’ underweight positions in the high-performing “Big 5” technology stocks (i.e., Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Alphabet and Facebook) relative to the S&P 500 Index materially hindered each Fund’s relative performance during the year ended July 31, 2020; that each Fund had overweight positions in the airline and cruise line industries when the COVID-19 pandemic first began, and that each of those industries had been negatively impacted by the pandemic; and that these two factors were the primary drivers that led to the underperformance by the Funds for the three-year and longer periods ended July 31, 2021. The Trustees noted, however, that the Adviser believed that each Fund continued to hold considerable value in its portfolio despite the various periods of underperformance. The Trustees also noted that each Fund had performed well over the long term.

Based on the information provided to them and in consideration of the specific investment objectives and risk profiles of each Fund, the Board and the Independent Trustees concluded that the performance of each Fund was satisfactory.

Advisory Fees and Fund Expenses

The Board reviewed the advisory fees and expenses paid by each Fund compared to those of other funds in the same Morningstar retail category (for the Stock Fund – Large Blend funds; for the Growth Fund – Large Growth funds; and for the Aggressive Growth Fund – Mid-Cap Growth funds), and of other funds in the Fund’s expense peer group, which was selected by Broadridge and was comprised of funds comparable to the Fund with fee structures and characteristics similar to those of the Funds (e.g., no distribution or shareholder servicing fees, and excluding load funds, index and enhanced index funds, funds of funds, and multi-manager funds).

The materials for the meeting indicated as follows:

 

   

The advisory fee of the Stock Fund was the same as the median of the expense peer group and below the median of funds in the Morningstar Large Blend retail category.

 

   

The advisory fee of the Growth Fund was below the median fees of the funds in the Morningstar Large Growth retail category and the Fund’s expense peer group.

 

   

The advisory fee of the Aggressive Growth Fund was below the median fees of the funds in the Morningstar Mid-Cap Growth retail category and the Fund’s expense peer group.

 

   

The total expense ratios of each Fund were below the medians of the respective expense peer group and Morningstar retail category.

The Board also reviewed the fees charged by the Advisor to other clients, including other mutual funds for which it provides sub-advisory services. The Board considered that although those fees were lower than those charged by the Advisor to the Funds, the differences appropriately reflected the investment, operational, and regulatory differences between advising other clients and the Funds, noting that mutual funds are subject to certain requirements under the 1940 Act that do not apply to the Advisor’s separate account clients, and that the Advisor provides more services to the Funds than it does to those funds for which it provides sub-advisory services. The Board and the Independent Trustees determined that the advisory fees and expenses charged to the Funds were reasonable in consideration of the services provided.

Costs and Profits of the Advisor

The Board reviewed information regarding the Advisor’s financial position and concluded that the Advisor would be able to continue to provide advisory services to the Funds. The Board also reviewed information relating to the Advisor’s profitability. The Board noted that the Advisor had closed the Aggressive Growth Fund in January 2014 to most new investors, limiting the growth of the Fund and consequently future profits to the Advisor as it relates to the Fund. In considering the Advisor’s profitability, the Trustees recognized the competitiveness of the registered fund industry and the importance of the long-term profitability of the Advisor, not only in maintaining its own financial condition, but also in maintaining an environment in which it is able to

attract and retain talented investment professionals, therefore promoting management stability and accountability. Recognizing the difficulty in evaluating an investment advisor’s profitability with respect to the funds it manages in the context of an advisor with multiple lines of business, and noting that other profitability methodologies might also be reasonable, the Board and the Independent Trustees concluded that the profit of the Advisor from its relationship with each Fund was reasonable.

Economies of Scale and Other Benefits to the Investment Advisor

The Trustees considered that the Investment Advisory Agreement originally provided for a fee breakpoint at $100 million in assets for each Fund. The Trustees also noted that the Advisor added an additional breakpoint effective May 1, 2021, on assets in excess of $10 billion with respect to each Fund. The Board considered that the Advisor had significant assets under management at the time the Funds commenced operations and that the Funds were offered advisory fee rates at inception that reflected scale within the Advisor’s business. The Board also acknowledged various diseconomies of scale experienced by the Advisor as the Funds have grown, including the hiring of additional personnel and the provision of additional services to the Funds including online access to shareholder accounts and improved technology, systems, and hardware. The Board and the Independent Trustees concluded that the Advisor had shared any economies of scale it had realized from the Funds with the Funds and their shareholders through advisory fee breakpoints, the hiring of additional personnel, and the provision of additional services to the Funds.

The Board also considered the benefits received by the Advisor as a result of its relationship with the Funds other than investment advisory fees, including any research provided to the Advisor by broker-dealers providing execution services to the Funds, the intangible benefits of the Advisor’s association with the Funds generally, and any favorable publicity arising in connection with the Funds’ performance.

Conclusions

Based on their review, including their consideration of each of the factors referred to above, the Board and the Independent Trustees concluded that the compensation payable to the Advisor pursuant to the investment advisory agreement with respect to each Fund was fair and reasonable in light of the services being provided by the Advisor to the Fund and its shareholders and that renewal of the investment advisory agreement with respect to each Fund was in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders.
