Manager’s Letter

Fellow Shareholders

International stocks were volatile over the last 12 months but ended our fiscal year with modest gains. News of slowing economic growth in China and the UK’s decision to exit the European Union (EU) led to bouts of stock market weakness. Investors also worried about rising U.S. interest rates and the Federal Reserve’s timing of potential rate hikes, as well as the U.S. election. Your fund outperformed the benchmark thanks to favorable stock selection and sector allocation decisions. By focusing on our bottom-up research—identifying companies that are taking market share and outgrowing their peers—we believe that the portfolio is well positioned to generate long-term growth.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW

The International Stock Fund returned 1.44% for the 12 months ended October 31, 2016. (Returns for the Advisor, R, and I Class shares varied slightly, reflecting their different expense structures.) As shown in the Performance Comparison table, your fund outperformed the MSCI All Country World Index ex USA and its Lipper peer group average for the year.

Your fund compared favorably with its competitors over the long term. Lipper ranked the International Stock Fund in the top quartile of its international multi-cap growth funds universe for the 1-, 3-, and 10-year periods ended October 31, 2016. (Based on cumulative total return, Lipper ranked the International Stock Fund 85 of 462, 61 of 400, 157 of 352, and 45 of 202 funds in the international multi-cap growth funds universe for the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods ended October 31, 2016, respectively. Past performance cannot guarantee future results.)

Performance versus the MSCI index benefited from stock selection in the information technology, consumer staples, and telecommunication services sectors. Stock selection in the industrials and business services and financials sectors hurt relative results. Sector allocation decisions detracted from relative performance, mostly because of an overweight to health care.

MARKET ENVIRONMENT

Stocks endured several periods of heightened volatility but recovered from each bout of weakness. In Europe, markets tumbled in the immediate aftermath of the UK’s surprising decision to leave the EU. Although stocks rebounded quickly, the British pound remained under pressure, and Brexit’s longer-term impact is uncertain. The UK’s withdrawal from the EU is expected to commence in 2017, and an orderly process would help to ease market anxieties. The uncertainty around the pending negotiations, coupled with the publicity and the highly political nature of the process, has led to persistent concerns over economic growth in Europe even though the data to date have been largely resilient.

The economic situation in Japan remains murky—three years of ultra-loose monetary policy and attempts at structural reforms have produced mixed results. While inflation targets have been consistently missed and revised, unemployment in Japan remains low and corporate profitability high. Japanese policymakers have, in general, been reticent to expend adequate political capital on key (and unpopular) areas of structural reform, including immigration policy, Social Security reform, and health care expenditures. Instead, the burden to lift the economy out of stagnation has fallen squarely on the shoulders of the Bank of Japan (BoJ) via its program of negative interest rates and quantitative easing, despite questionable efficacy thus far. As we exit 2016, questions around the ability and willingness of the BoJ to do more to stimulate demand are growing, while the government’s desire to launch a major fiscal program remains uncertain.

In general, emerging markets outperformed developed markets in 2016. However, regional and country returns varied markedly. Many of the markets that performed the best during 2016, such as Brazil, South Africa, and Russia, benefited from stabilization in commodity prices and low starting valuations. We remained extremely selective in our emerging markets stock selection and used the rebound in certain markets to pare our positions somewhat. Despite the recent rally in commodity prices and the strong year-to-date gains across the broad emerging markets universe, we think that near-term caution in some of these markets is warranted. Much of the rebound in commodity prices has been driven by a brighter view of China’s growth, though we continue to be concerned by the high level of government stimulus and debt financing that is driving much of that growth, along with signs that the consumer remains sluggish. Economies that depend on commodity exports to generate growth but show low levels of investment and structural reform, such as Russia and South Africa, in our view, may remain challenged to show strong consistent economic growth in the future.

PORTFOLIO REVIEW

Our information technology sector holdings were the strongest absolute performance contributors for the 12 months ended October 31, 2016. Over the reporting period, we added to our overweight allocation as we found solid, attractively valued growth companies that we felt were overly punished in the early-2016 sell-off. The fund’s best contributor was Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing. The stock rallied after the company announced that it would hike its dividend and, subsequently, on good earnings and higher revenue guidance. We believe that the company will continue to increase its dividend as its capital needs decline. (Please refer to the portfolio of investments for a complete list of holdings and the amount each represents in the portfolio.)

ARM Holdings and NXP Semiconductors generated strong gains. ARM’s unique position in supplying intellectual property to the semiconductor industry attracted the interest of Softbank, which surprised the market with an acquisition of ARM for cash. Although we felt the price captured much of the medium-term growth we had expected at ARM, we are sorry to see a long-term, value-creating business like ARM leave our investment universe.

Our Internet software and services holdings, including longtime investments Tencent Holdings and NAVER, also generated strong performance. NAVER is a South Korean company that operates the country’s leading search engine and owns an 80% stake in LINE, a leading mobile messaging platform in several Asian countries. NAVER has continued to impress us over the years of our ownership with its ability to sustain its domestic search business growth and create valuable new franchises internally, such as LINE. It also has developed a social media property called SNOW, which we are hopeful will become a new growth driver for NAVER. We participated in the LINE initial public offering as well but eliminated our position for a profit once the stock reached our assessment of fair value.

Our energy, materials, and consumer staples sector holdings produced solid gains for your fund over the past 12 months. Several notable contributors included South32 and Syngenta in the materials sector; Canadian Natural Resources and Woodside Petroleum,a portfolio addition, in the energy sector; and Kweichow Moutai and FamilyMart in the consumer staples segment. South32, a spinout from BHP Billiton, is our only direct exposure to the challenging mining industry. The company occupies a unique position within the segment as a potential acquirer with net cash on its balance sheet. We are optimistic that over time this balance sheet firepower, in an industry where many players face difficult times, will be deployed and create value for shareholders.

Unfortunately, we held several significant detractors that offset good stock picking in other areas of the portfolio. Many of our poorest-performing holdings were in the financials, health care, and industrials and business services sectors. The performance of our capital markets and bank holdings was poor, and we eliminated several of the largest detractors, including Credit Suisse, Barclays, and Standard Chartered. In general, our research indicated that achieving an attractive return on equity over the near term would be a challenge. We have largely redeployed the proceeds into other holdings in the sector. GAM Holding, Royal Bank of Scotland, and Lloyds Banking Group were also among the biggest decliners for the last 12 months, with Brexit and the subsequent weakening of the British pound playing a major role in the underperformance of the latter two. Although we constantly test our assumptions and views, we believe that in the medium term these financial companies are capable of generating strong returns and that our patience will be rewarded.

In the health care sector, our pharmaceutical holdings, especially Bayer, Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, and Novartis, were the largest drag on returns. Bayer is our largest holding in the sector, and although the company has continued to deliver good results, its solid business execution has been overshadowed by the pending acquisition of Monsanto. This strategic move will lead to a greater focus on agricultural chemicals and a resulting portfolio shift away from pharmaceuticals. The prospect of a long and complex regulatory approval process and the announcement that, as a result of the deal, Bayer will seek to raise a significant amount of new equity have pushed the share price well below what we view as the intrinsic value of the business, with or without Monsanto. As these issues are resolved, we expect to see Bayer’s share price trade more in line with its fundamentals.

Industrials and business services is a broad and diversified sector. Mitsubishi Electric and Schneider Electric were top contributors, but their strong gains were overshadowed by losses in easyJet and Capita, two of our worst performers in the reporting period. EasyJet suffered primarily from increased competition on many of its routes as well as from concerns about the impact of Brexit on its business. Capita, a UK-based diversified services provider to the government and private sector, was buffeted by a slowdown in new contracts as customers delayed decision-making around Brexit. Coupled with a cost overrun on an important contract, Capita’s stock plunged when the management warned that profits would fall below previously expected levels and returns would remain under pressure. While the Brexit uncertainty may linger for some time and continue to depress Capita’s share price, we feel that its history of strong execution, tight cost control, and strong free cash flow generation will allow Capita to weather this storm. Our view is that although the timing is uncertain, the shares should see a strong rerating from the currently depressed level once decision-making among its customers normalizes.

From a regional perspective, stock selection in Japan, emerging markets, and developed Asia (which combined account for about half of the portfolio) contributed to relative performance and handily outperformed our holdings in North America and developed Europe. On a country basis, stock selection in Japan, the U.S., and the Netherlands generated solid performance contributions. However, stock selection in the UK, Switzerland, and Germany hurt our comparison with the benchmark. Overall, stock selection across countries and regions was a strong positive contributor to the fund’s relative returns.

PORTFOLIO OUTLOOK

Although we feel confident that economic growth will remain modestly positive, share prices appear to offer only modest upside in many cases. From a top-down perspective, we are monitoring two major potential areas of impact on market and sector performance:

First, we wish we could say that the next 12 months will likely bring fewer headline risk events than the prior year; however, that seems unlikely to be the case. In Europe, Italy plans to hold a referendum in December, Germany and France will have potentially contentious elections, and the UK is expected to begin the formal process of exiting the European Union this spring. Despite these headline risks, underlying growth in Europe has remained reasonable, and we continue to find good bottom-up investment opportunities.

Second, a significant question facing markets over the next 12 months is whether inflation, after numerous fits and starts over the past few years, is finally starting to see broad-based acceleration. Following many years of low rates and deflation fears, even a shift in the market to pricing in modest positive inflation could have a profound impact on sector valuations. With unemployment low in most developed markets and wages on the increase, it seems likely to us that at a minimum the need for further negative rates has been reduced for the time being. Donald Trump has been elected president of the U.S. His policies appear to be pro-growth and inflationary, and bonds have come under selling pressure. Given the uncertainties, we will remain vigilant and closely monitor inflation expectations.

We are focused on finding high-quality companies that we feel offer “mispriced growth,” usually due to short-term headwinds obscuring the longer-term growth outlook. Our goal is to invest in a contrarian fashion around long-term winning businesses. Given the market swings of the past six months, this has allowed us to add to both cyclical sectors, such as financials, and defensive sectors, such as health care, as the market’s view of global growth has oscillated between concern and complacency.

From a regional perspective, our views have not shifted much. We retain a longstanding underweight in Japan due to few bottom-up opportunities to invest in attractive growth companies, while we remain overweight to the rest of Asia. Within emerging markets, we have pared our exposure in stocks and countries where the strong rebound over the past 12 months has made the risk/reward trade-off more balanced, in our view. On the other hand, we have added to emerging markets that have lagged in the commodity-driven rally, such as South Korea, where we are finding good risk-adjusted opportunities.

As bottom-up stock pickers, we are not trying to predict events that are inherently unpredictable and instead remain focused on finding attractively priced stocks of companies we think will continue to post durable growth over the coming years. We utilize a top-down overlay to complement that stock selection process, but we continue to believe our best insights will come at the company level, rather than in trying to anticipate headlines.

As always, we will continue to work diligently on your behalf. Thank you for your support and confidence in T. Rowe Price.

RISKS OF INTERNATIONAL INVESTING

Funds that invest overseas generally carry more risk than funds that invest strictly in U.S. assets. Funds investing in a single country or in a limited geographic region tend to be riskier than more diversified funds. Risks can result from varying stages of economic and political development; differing regulatory environments, trading days, and accounting standards; and higher transaction costs of non-U.S. markets. Non-U.S. investments are also subject to currency risk, or a decline in the value of a foreign currency versus the U.S. dollar, which reduces the dollar value of securities denominated in that currency.

Performance and Expenses

Growth of $10,000

This chart shows the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the fund over the past 10 fiscal year periods or since inception (for funds lacking 10-year records). The result is compared with benchmarks, which may include a broad-based market index and a peer group average or index. Market indexes do not include expenses, which are deducted from fund returns as well as mutual fund averages and indexes.

Fund Expense Example

As a mutual fund shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such as redemption fees or sales loads, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, and other fund expenses. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the most recent six-month period and held for the entire period.

Please note that the fund has four share classes: The original share class (Investor Class) charges no distribution and service (12b-1) fee, Advisor Class shares are offered only through unaffiliated brokers and other financial intermediaries and charge a 0.25% 12b-1 fee, R Class shares are available to retirement plans serviced by intermediaries and charge a 0.50% 12b-1 fee, and I Class shares are available to institutionally oriented clients and impose no 12b-1 or administrative fee payment. Each share class is presented separately in the table.

Actual Expenses
The first line of the following table (Actual) provides information about actual account values and expenses based on the fund’s actual returns. You may use the information on this line, together with your account balance, 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 on the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information on the second line of the table (Hypothetical) is based on hypothetical account values and expenses derived from the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% per year rate of return before expenses (not the fund’s actual return). You may compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund with other funds by contrasting this 5% hypothetical example and the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Note: T. Rowe Price charges an annual account service fee of $20, generally for accounts with less than $10,000. The fee is waived for any investor whose T. Rowe Price mutual fund accounts total $50,000 or more; accounts electing to receive electronic delivery of account statements, transaction confirmations, prospectuses, and shareholder reports; or accounts of an investor who is a T. Rowe Price Preferred Services, Personal Services, or Enhanced Personal Services client (enrollment in these programs generally requires T. Rowe Price assets of at least $100,000). This fee is not included in the accompanying table. If you are subject to the fee, keep it in mind when you are estimating the ongoing expenses of investing in the fund and when comparing the expenses of this fund with other funds.

You should also be aware that the expenses shown in the table highlight only your ongoing costs and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as redemption fees or sales loads. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. To the extent a fund charges transaction costs, however, the total cost of owning that fund is higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

T. Rowe Price International Funds, Inc. (the corporation), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act). The International Stock Fund (the fund) is a diversified, open-end management investment company established by the corporation. The fund seeks long-term growth of capital through investments primarily in the common stocks of established, non-U.S. companies. The fund has four classes of shares: the International Stock Fund (Investor Class), the International Stock Fund–Advisor Class (Advisor Class), the International Stock Fund–R Class (R Class), and the International Stock Fund–I Class (I Class). Advisor Class shares are sold only through unaffiliated brokers and other unaffiliated financial intermediaries, and R Class shares are available to retirement plans serviced by intermediaries. I Class shares generally are available only to investors meeting a $1,000,000 minimum investment or certain other criteria. The Advisor Class and R Class each operate under separate Board-approved Rule 12b-1 plans, pursuant to which each class compensates financial intermediaries for distribution, shareholder servicing, and/or certain administrative services; the Investor and I Classes do not pay Rule 12b-1 fees. Each class has exclusive voting rights on matters related solely to that class; separate voting rights on matters that relate to all classes; and, in all other respects, the same rights and obligations as the other classes.

NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Preparation The fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 (ASC 946). The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), including, but not limited to, ASC 946. GAAP requires the use of estimates made by management. Management believes that estimates and valuations are appropriate; however, actual results may differ from those estimates, and the valuations reflected in the accompanying financial statements may differ from the value ultimately realized upon sale or maturity.

Investment Transactions, Investment Income, and Distributions Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends received from mutual fund investments are reflected as dividend income; capital gain distributions are reflected as realized gain/loss. Dividend income and capital gain distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income tax-related interest and penalties, if incurred, would be recorded as income tax expense. Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses are reported on the identified cost basis. Income distributions are declared and paid by each class annually. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Capital gain distributions are generally declared and paid by the fund annually.

Currency Translation Assets, including investments, and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar values each day at the prevailing exchange rate, using the mean of the bid and asked prices of such currencies against U.S. dollars as quoted by a major bank. Purchases and sales of securities, income, and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of the transaction. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on realized and unrealized security gains and losses is reflected as a component of security gains and losses.

Class Accounting Shareholder servicing, prospectus, and shareholder report expenses incurred by each class are charged directly to the class to which they relate. Expenses common to all classes, investment income, and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to the classes based upon the relative daily net assets of each class. The Advisor Class and R Class each pay Rule 12b-1 fees, in an amount not exceeding 0.25% and 0.50%, respectively, of the class’s average daily net assets.

Redemption Fees A 2% fee is assessed on redemptions of fund shares held for 90 days or less to deter short-term trading and to protect the interests of long-term shareholders. Redemption fees are withheld from proceeds that shareholders receive from the sale or exchange of fund shares. The fees are paid to the fund and are recorded as an increase to paid-in capital. The fees may cause the redemption price per share to differ from the net asset value per share.

In-Kind Redemptions In accordance with guidelines described in the fund’s prospectus, and when considered to be in the best interest of all shareholders, the fund may distribute portfolio securities rather than cash as payment for a redemption of fund shares (in-kind redemption). Gains and losses realized on in-kind redemptions are not recognized for tax purposes and are reclassified from undistributed realized gain (loss) to paid-in capital. During the year ended October 31, 2016, the fund realized $58,840,000 of net gain on $206,970,000 of in-kind redemptions.

New Accounting Guidance In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a new rule, Investment Company Reporting Modernization, which, among other provisions, amends Regulation S-X to require standardized, enhanced disclosures, particularly related to derivatives, in investment company financial statements. Compliance with the guidance is required for financial statements filed with the SEC on or after August 1, 2017; adoption will have no effect on the fund’s net assets or results of operations.

NOTE 2 - VALUATION

The fund’s financial instruments are valued and each class’s net asset value (NAV) per share is computed at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4 p.m. ET, each day the NYSE is open for business. However, the NAV per share may be calculated at a time other than the normal close of the NYSE if trading on the NYSE is restricted, if the NYSE closes earlier, or as may be permitted by the SEC.

Fair Value The fund’s financial instruments are reported at fair value, which GAAP defines as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The T. Rowe Price Valuation Committee (the Valuation Committee) is an internal committee that has been delegated certain responsibilities by the fund’s Board of Directors (the Board) to ensure that financial instruments are appropriately priced at fair value in accordance with GAAP and the 1940 Act. Subject to oversight by the Board, the Valuation Committee develops and oversees pricing-related policies and procedures and approves all fair value determinations. Specifically, the Valuation Committee establishes procedures to value securities; determines pricing techniques, sources, and persons eligible to effect fair value pricing actions; oversees the selection, services, and performance of pricing vendors; oversees valuation-related business continuity practices; and provides guidance on internal controls and valuation-related matters. The Valuation Committee reports to the Board and has representation from legal, portfolio management and trading, operations, risk management, and the fund’s treasurer.

Various valuation techniques and inputs are used to determine the fair value of financial instruments. GAAP establishes the following fair value hierarchy that categorizes the inputs used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial instruments that the fund can access at the reporting date

Level 2 – inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar financial instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar financial instruments in inactive markets, interest rates and yield curves, implied volatilities, and credit spreads)

Level 3 – unobservable inputs

Observable inputs are developed using market data, such as publicly available information about actual events or transactions, and reflect the assumptions that market participants would use to price the financial instrument. Unobservable inputs are those for which market data are not available and are developed using the best information available about the assumptions that market participants would use to price the financial instrument. GAAP requires valuation techniques to maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. When multiple inputs are used to derive fair value, the financial instrument is assigned to the level within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value of the financial instrument. Input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with financial instruments at that level but rather the degree of judgment used in determining those values.

Valuation Techniques Equity securities listed or regularly traded on a securities exchange or in the over-the-counter (OTC) market are valued at the last quoted sale price or, for certain markets, the official closing price at the time the valuations are made. OTC Bulletin Board securities are valued at the mean of the closing bid and asked prices. A security that is listed or traded on more than one exchange is valued at the quotation on the exchange determined to be the primary market for such security. Listed securities not traded on a particular day are valued at the mean of the closing bid and asked prices for domestic securities and the last quoted sale or closing price for international securities.

For valuation purposes, the last quoted prices of non-U.S. equity securities may be adjusted to reflect the fair value of such securities at the close of the NYSE. If the fund determines that developments between the close of a foreign market and the close of the NYSE will, in its judgment, materially affect the value of some or all of its portfolio securities, the fund will adjust the previous quoted prices to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities as of the close of the NYSE. In deciding whether it is necessary to adjust quoted prices to reflect fair value, the fund reviews a variety of factors, including developments in foreign markets, the performance of U.S. securities markets, and the performance of instruments trading in U.S. markets that represent foreign securities and baskets of foreign securities. The fund may also fair value securities in other situations, such as when a particular foreign market is closed but the fund is open. The fund uses outside pricing services to provide it with quoted prices and information to evaluate or adjust those prices. The fund cannot predict how often it will use quoted prices and how often it will determine it necessary to adjust those prices to reflect fair value. As a means of evaluating its security valuation process, the fund routinely compares quoted prices, the next day’s opening prices in the same markets, and adjusted prices.

Actively traded equity securities listed on a domestic exchange generally are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Non-U.S. equity securities generally are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy despite the availability of quoted prices because, as described above, the fund evaluates and determines whether those quoted prices reflect fair value at the close of the NYSE or require adjustment. OTC Bulletin Board securities, certain preferred securities, and equity securities traded in inactive markets generally are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Investments in mutual funds are valued at the mutual fund’s closing NAV per share on the day of valuation and are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Listed options, and OTC options with a listed equivalent, are valued at the mean of the closing bid and asked prices and generally are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Forward currency exchange contracts are valued using the prevailing forward exchange rate and are categorized in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Assets and liabilities other than financial instruments, including short-term receivables and payables, are carried at cost, or estimated realizable value, if less, which approximates fair value.

Thinly traded financial instruments and those for which the above valuation procedures are inappropriate or are deemed not to reflect fair value are stated at fair value as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee. The objective of any fair value pricing determination is to arrive at a price that could reasonably be expected from a current sale. Financial instruments fair valued by the Valuation Committee are primarily private placements, restricted securities, warrants, rights, and other securities that are not publicly traded.

Subject to oversight by the Board, the Valuation Committee regularly makes good faith judgments to establish and adjust the fair valuations of certain securities as events occur and circumstances warrant. For instance, in determining the fair value of an equity investment with limited market activity, such as a private placement or a thinly traded public company stock, the Valuation Committee considers a variety of factors, which may include, but are not limited to, the issuer’s business prospects, its financial standing and performance, recent investment transactions in the issuer, new rounds of financing, negotiated transactions of significant size between other investors in the company, relevant market valuations of peer companies, strategic events affecting the company, market liquidity for the issuer, and general economic conditions and events. In consultation with the investment and pricing teams, the Valuation Committee will determine an appropriate valuation technique based on available information, which may include both observable and unobservable inputs. The Valuation Committee typically will afford greatest weight to actual prices in arm’s length transactions, to the extent they represent orderly transactions between market participants, transaction information can be reliably obtained, and prices are deemed representative of fair value. However, the Valuation Committee may also consider other valuation methods such as market-based valuation multiples; a discount or premium from market value of a similar, freely traded security of the same issuer; or some combination. Fair value determinations are reviewed on a regular basis and updated as information becomes available, including actual purchase and sale transactions of the issue. Because any fair value determination involves a significant amount of judgment, there is a degree of subjectivity inherent in such pricing decisions, and fair value prices determined by the Valuation Committee could differ from those of other market participants. Depending on the relative significance of unobservable inputs, including the valuation technique(s) used, fair valued securities may be categorized in Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Valuation Inputs The following table summarizes the fund’s financial instruments, based on the inputs used to determine their fair values on October 31, 2016:

There were no material transfers between Levels 1 and 2 during the year ended October 31, 2016.

Following is a reconciliation of the fund’s Level 3 holdings for the year ended October 31, 2016. Gain (loss) reflects both realized and change in unrealized gain/loss on Level 3 holdings during the period, if any, and is included on the accompanying Statement of Operations. The change in unrealized gain/loss on Level 3 instruments held at October 31, 2016, totaled $5,931,000 for the year ended October 31, 2016.

NOTE 3 - DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

During the year ended October 31, 2016, the fund invested in derivative instruments. As defined by GAAP, a derivative is a financial instrument whose value is derived from an underlying security price, foreign exchange rate, interest rate, index of prices or rates, or other variable; it requires little or no initial investment and permits or requires net settlement. The fund invests in derivatives only if the expected risks and rewards are consistent with its investment objectives, policies, and overall risk profile, as described in its prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. The fund may use derivatives for a variety of purposes, such as seeking to hedge against declines in principal value, increase yield, invest in an asset with greater efficiency and at a lower cost than is possible through direct investment, or to adjust credit exposure. The risks associated with the use of derivatives are different from, and potentially much greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in the instruments on which the derivatives are based. The fund at all times maintains sufficient cash reserves, liquid assets, or other SEC-permitted asset types to cover its settlement obligations under open derivative contracts.

The fund values its derivatives at fair value and recognizes changes in fair value currently in its results of operations. Accordingly, the fund does not follow hedge accounting, even for derivatives employed as economic hedges. Generally, the fund accounts for its derivatives on a gross basis. It does not offset the fair value of derivative liabilities against the fair value of derivative assets on its financial statements, nor does it offset the fair value of derivative instruments against the right to reclaim or obligation to return collateral.

The following table summarizes the fair value of the fund’s derivative instruments held as of October 31, 2016, and the related location on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities, presented by primary underlying risk exposure:

Additionally, the amount of gains and losses on derivative instruments recognized in fund earnings during the year ended October 31, 2016, and the related location on the accompanying Statement of Operations is summarized in the following table by primary underlying risk exposure:

Counterparty Risk and Collateral The fund invests in derivatives, such as bilateral swaps, forward currency exchange contracts, or OTC options, that are transacted and settle directly with a counterparty (bilateral derivatives), and thereby expose the fund to counterparty risk. To mitigate this risk, the fund has entered into master netting arrangements (MNAs) with certain counterparties that permit net settlement under specified conditions and, for certain counterparties, also require the exchange of collateral to cover mark-to-market exposure. MNAs may be in the form of International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreements (ISDAs) or foreign exchange letter agreements (FX letters).

MNAs govern the ability to offset amounts the fund owes a counterparty against amounts the counterparty owes the fund (net settlement). Both ISDAs and FX letters generally allow termination of transactions and net settlement upon the occurrence of contractually specified events, such as failure to pay or bankruptcy. In addition, ISDAs specify other events, the occurrence of which would allow one of the parties to terminate. For example, a downgrade in credit rating of a counterparty would allow the fund to terminate while a decline in the fund’s net assets of more than a specified percentage would allow the counterparty to terminate. Upon termination, all transactions with that counterparty would be liquidated and a net termination amount determined. ISDAs include collateral agreements whereas FX letters do not. Collateral requirements are determined daily based on the net aggregate unrealized gain or loss on all bilateral derivatives with each counterparty, subject to minimum transfer amounts that typically range from $100,000 to $250,000. Any additional collateral required due to changes in security values is transferred the next business day.

Collateral may be in the form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S. government or related agencies. Cash posted by the fund is reflected as cash deposits in the accompanying financial statements and generally is restricted from withdrawal by the fund; securities posted by the fund are so noted in the accompanying Portfolio of Investments; both remain in the fund’s assets. Collateral pledged by counterparties is not included in the fund’s assets because the fund does not obtain effective control over those assets. For bilateral derivatives, collateral posted or received by the fund is held in a segregated account at the fund’s custodian. As of October 31, 2016, no collateral had been posted by the fund to counterparties for bilateral derivatives. As of October 31, 2016, collateral pledged by counterparties to the fund for bilateral derivatives consisted of $1,690,000 cash and securities valued at $6,392,000.

Forward Currency Exchange Contracts The fund is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. It uses forward currency exchange contracts (forwards) primarily to protect its non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities from adverse currency movements relative to the U.S. dollar. A forward involves an obligation to purchase or sell a fixed amount of a specific currency on a future date at a price set at the time of the contract. Although certain forwards may be settled by exchanging only the net gain or loss on the contract, most forwards are settled with the exchange of the underlying currencies in accordance with the specified terms. Forwards are valued at the unrealized gain or loss on the contract, which reflects the net amount the fund either is entitled to receive or obligated to deliver, as measured by the difference between the forward exchange rates at the date of entry into the contract and the forward rates at the reporting date. Appreciated forwards are reflected as assets and depreciated forwards are reflected as liabilities on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Risks related to the use of forwards include the possible failure of counterparties to meet the terms of the agreements; that anticipated currency movements will not occur, thereby reducing the fund’s total return; and the potential for losses in excess of the fund’s initial investment. During the year ended October 31, 2016, the volume of the fund’s activity in forwards, based on underlying notional amounts, was generally between 0% and 3% of net assets.

Options The fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and uses options to help manage such risk. The fund may use options to manage exposure to security prices, interest rates, foreign currencies, and credit quality; as an efficient means of adjusting exposure to all or a part of a target market; to enhance income; as a cash management tool; or to adjust credit exposure. Options are included in net assets at fair value, purchased options are included in Investments in Securities, and written options are separately reflected as a liability on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Premiums on unexercised, expired options are recorded as realized gains or losses; premiums on exercised options are recorded as an adjustment to the proceeds from the sale or cost of the purchase. The difference between the premium and the amount received or paid in a closing transaction is also treated as realized gain or loss. In return for a premium paid, call and put options give the holder the right, but not the obligation, to purchase or sell, respectively, a security at a specified exercise price.

Risks related to the use of options include possible illiquidity of the options markets; trading restrictions imposed by an exchange or counterparty; movements in the underlying asset values and, for written options, potential losses in excess of the fund’s initial investment. During the year ended October 31, 2016, the volume of the fund’s activity in options, based on underlying notional amounts, was generally less than 1% of net assets. Transactions in written options and related premiums received during the year ended October 31, 2016, were as follows:

NOTE 4 - OTHER INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Consistent with its investment objective, the fund engages in the following practices to manage exposure to certain risks and/or to enhance performance. The investment objective, policies, program, and risk factors of the fund are described more fully in the fund’s prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.

Emerging Markets The fund may invest, either directly or through investments in T. Rowe Price institutional funds, in securities of companies located in, issued by governments of,or denominated in or linked to the currencies of emerging market countries; at period-end, approximately 22% of the fund’s net assets were invested in emerging markets. Emerging markets generally have economic structures that are less diverse and mature, and political systems that are less stable, than developed countries. These markets may be subject to greater political, economic, and social uncertainty and differing regulatory environments that may potentially impact the fund’s ability to buy or sell certain securities or repatriate proceeds to U.S. dollars. Such securities are often subject to greater price volatility, less liquidity, and higher rates of inflation than U.S. securities.

Restricted Securities The fund may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Prompt sale of such securities at an acceptable price may be difficult and may involve substantial delays and additional costs.

Securities Lending The fund may lend its securities to approved brokers to earn additional income. Its securities lending activities are administered by a lending agent in accordance with a securities lending agreement. Security loans generally do not have stated maturity dates, and the fund may recall a security at any time. The fund receives collateral in the form of cash or U.S. government securities, valued at 102% to 105% of the value of the securities on loan. Collateral is maintained over the life of the loan in an amount not less than the value of loaned securities; any additional collateral required due to changes in security values is delivered to the fund the next business day. Cash collateral is invested by the lending agent(s) in accordance with investment guidelines approved by fund management. Additionally, the lending agent indemnifies the fund against losses resulting from borrower default. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral and indemnification, the fund could experience a delay in recovering its securities and a possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return the securities, collateral investments decline in value, and the lending agent fails to perform. Securities lending revenue consists of earnings on invested collateral and borrowing fees, net of any rebates to the borrower, compensation to the lending agent, and other administrative costs. In accordance with GAAP, investments made with cash collateral are reflected in the accompanying financial statements, but collateral received in the form of securities is not. At October 31, 2016, the value of loaned securities was $102,485,000; the value of cash collateral and related investments was $106,792,000.

Other Purchases and sales of portfolio securities other than short-term securities aggregated $5,620,650,000 and $5,033,162,000, respectively, for the year ended October 31, 2016.

NOTE 5 - FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

No provision for federal income taxes is required since the fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute to shareholders all of its taxable income and gains. Distributions determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character but are not adjusted for temporary differences.

The fund files U.S. federal, state, and local tax returns as required. The fund’s tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after the filing of the tax return but which can be extended to six years in certain circumstances. Tax returns for open years have incorporated no uncertain tax positions that require a provision for income taxes.

Reclassifications to paid-in capital relate primarily to redemptions in kind and a tax practice that treats a portion of the proceeds from each redemption of capital shares as a distribution of taxable net investment income or realized capital gain. For the year ended October 31, 2016, the following reclassifications were recorded to reflect tax character (there was no impact on results of operations or net assets):

Distributions during the years ended October 31, 2016 and October 31, 2015, were characterized for tax purposes as follows:

At October 31, 2016, the tax-basis cost of investments and components of net assets were as follows:

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable to the deferral of losses from wash sales, the realization of gains/losses on passive foreign investment companies and certain open derivative contracts for tax purposes.

NOTE 6 - FOREIGN TAXES

The fund is subject to foreign income taxes imposed by certain countries in which it invests. Additionally, certain foreign currency transactions are subject to tax, and capital gains realized upon disposition of securities issued in or by certain foreign countries are subject to capital gains tax imposed by those countries. All taxes are computed in accordance with the applicable foreign tax law, and, to the extent permitted, capital losses are used to offset capital gains. Taxes attributable to income are accrued by the fund as a reduction of income. Taxes incurred on the purchase of foreign currencies are recorded as realized loss on foreign currency transactions. Current and deferred tax expense attributable to capital gains is reflected as a component of realized or change in unrealized gain/loss on securities in the accompanying financial statements. At October 31, 2016, the fund had no deferred tax liability attributable to foreign securities and $32,210,000 of foreign capital loss carryforwards, including $9,426,000 that expire in 2017, $4,774,000 that expire in 2018, $3,307,000 that expire in 2019, $4,380,000 that expire in 2020, $1,930,000 that expire in 2021, $535,000 that expire in 2022, and $7,858,000 that expire in 2023.

NOTE 7 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The fund is managed by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (Price Associates), a wholly owned subsidiary of T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. (Price Group). Price Associates has entered into a sub-advisory agreement(s) with one or more of its wholly owned subsidiaries, to provide investment advisory services to the fund. The investment management agreement between the fund and Price Associates provides for an annual investment management fee, which is computed daily and paid monthly. The fee consists of an individual fund fee, equal to 0.35% of the fund’s average daily net assets, and a group fee. The group fee rate is calculated based on the combined net assets of certain mutual funds sponsored by Price Associates (the group) applied to a graduated fee schedule, with rates ranging from 0.48% for the first $1 billion of assets to 0.270% for assets in excess of $500 billion. The fund’s group fee is determined by applying the group fee rate to the fund’s average daily net assets. At October 31, 2016, the effective annual group fee rate was 0.29%.

The R Class is subject to a contractual expense limitation through February 28, 2018. During the limitation period, Price Associates is required to waive its management fee or pay any expenses, excluding interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and other non-recurring expenses permitted by the investment management agreement, that would otherwise cause the class’s ratio of annualized total expenses to average net assets (expense ratio) to exceed its expense limitation of 1.40%. The class is required to repay Price Associates for expenses previously waived/paid to the extent the class’s net assets grow or expenses decline sufficiently to allow repayment without causing the class’s expense ratio to exceed its expense limitation in effect at the time of the waiver. However, no repayment will be made more than three years after the date of a payment or waiver.

The I Class is also subject to an operating expense limitation (I Class limit) pursuant to which Price Associates is contractually required to pay all operating expenses of the I Class, excluding management fees, interest, borrowing-related expenses, taxes, brokerage commissions, and other non-recurring expenses permitted by the investment management agreement, to the extent such operating expenses, on an annualized basis, exceed 0.05% of average net assets. This agreement will continue until February 28, 2018, and may be renewed, revised, or revoked only with approval of the fund’s Board. The I Class is required to repay Price Associates for expenses previously paid to the extent the class’s net assets grow or expenses decline sufficiently to allow repayment without causing the class’s operating expenses to exceed the I Class limit in effect at the time of the waiver. However, no repayment will be made more than three years after the date of a payment or waiver. For the year ended October 31, 2016, the I Class operated below its expense limitation.

Pursuant to these agreements, less than $1,000 of expenses were waived/paid by Price Associates during the year ended October 31, 2016 and remain subject to repayment by the fund. Including these amounts, expenses previously waived/paid by Price Associates in the amount of $2,000 remain subject to repayment by the fund at October 31, 2016.

In addition, the fund has entered into service agreements with Price Associates and two wholly owned subsidiaries of Price Associates (collectively, Price). Price Associates provides certain accounting and administrative services to the fund. T. Rowe Price Services, Inc., provides shareholder and administrative services in its capacity as the fund’s transfer and dividend-disbursing agent. T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc., provides subaccounting and recordkeeping services for certain retirement accounts invested in the Investor Class, R Class and I Class. For the yearended October 31, 2016, expenses incurred pursuant to these service agreements were $60,000 for Price Associates; $1,884,000 for T. Rowe Price Services, Inc.; and $745,000 for T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc. The total amount payable at period-end pursuant to these service agreements is reflected as Due to Affiliates in the accompanying financial statements.

Additionally, the fund is one of several mutual funds in which certain college savings plans managed by Price Associates may invest. As approved by the fund’s Board of Directors, shareholder servicing costs associated with each college savings plan are borne by the fund in proportion to the average daily value of its shares owned by the college savings plan. For the year ended October 31, 2016, the fund was charged $559,000 for shareholder servicing costs related to the college savings plans, of which $477,000 was for services provided by Price. The amount payable at period-end pursuant to this agreement is reflected as Due to Affiliates in the accompanying financial statements. At October 31, 2016, approximately 2% of the outstanding shares of the Investor Class were held by college savings plans.

The fund is also one of several mutual funds sponsored by Price Associates (underlying Price funds) in which the T. Rowe Price Spectrum Funds (Spectrum Funds), T. Rowe Price Retirement Funds (Retirement Funds) and T. Rowe Price Target Funds (Target Funds) may invest. None of the Spectrum Funds, Retirement Funds, or Target Funds invest in the underlying Price funds for the purpose of exercising management or control. Pursuant to special servicing agreements, expenses associated with the operation of the Spectrum Funds and Retirement Funds are borne by each underlying Price fund to the extent of estimated savings to it and in proportion to the average daily value of its shares owned by the Spectrum Funds and Retirement Funds. Prior to February 1, 2016, the Target Funds were subject to one of the same special servicing agreement; thus expenses associated with the operation of the Target Funds prior to that date were borne by the underlying Price Funds. Effective February 1, 2016, expenses associated with the operation of the Target Funds are borne by the Target Funds.

Expenses allocated under these agreements are reflected as shareholder servicing expense in the accompanying financial statements. For the year ended October 31, 2016, the fund was allocated $758,000 of Spectrum Funds’ expenses, $14,953,000 of Retirement Funds’ expenses, and $51,000 of Target Funds’ expenses. Of these amounts, $6,352,000 related to services provided by Price. At period-end, the amount payable to Price pursuant to these agreements are reflected as Due to Affiliates in the accompanying financial statements. Additionally, redemption fees received by the Spectrum Funds are allocated to each underlying Price fund in proportion to the average daily value of its shares owned by the Spectrum Funds. Approximately $5,000 of redemption fees reflected in the accompanying financial statements were received from the Spectrum Funds. At October 31, 2016, approximately 75% of the outstanding shares of the Investor Class were held by the Spectrum Funds andRetirement Funds and approximately 2% of the outstanding shares of the I Class were held by the Target Funds.

In addition, other mutual funds, trusts, and other accounts managed by Price Associates or its affiliates (collectively, Price funds and accounts) may invest in the fund and are not subject to the special servicing agreements disclosed above. No Price fund or account may invest for the purpose of exercising management or control over the fund. At October 31, 2016, approximately 17% of the I Class’s outstanding shares were held by Price funds and accounts.

The fund may invest in the T. Rowe Price Government Reserve Fund, the T. Rowe Price Treasury Reserve Fund, or the T. Rowe Price Short-Term Fund (collectively, the Price Reserve Investment Funds), open-end management investment companies managed by Price Associates and considered affiliates of the fund. The Price Reserve Investment Funds are offered as short-term investment options to mutual funds, trusts, and other accounts managed by Price Associates or its affiliates and are not available for direct purchase by members of the public. The Price Reserve Investment Funds pay no investment management fees.

As of October 31, 2016, T. Rowe Price Group, Inc., or its wholly owned subsidiaries owned 926,927 shares of the Investor Class, representing less than 1% of the Investor Class’s net assets.

The fund may participate in securities purchase and sale transactions with other funds or accounts advised by Price Associates (cross trades), in accordance with procedures adopted by the fund’s Board and Securities and Exchange Commission rules, which require, among other things, that such purchase and sale cross trades be effected at the independent current market price of the security. During the year ended October 31, 2016, the fund had no purchases or sales cross trades with other funds or accounts advised by Price Associates.

Shareholders of T. Rowe Price International Stock Fund

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the T. Rowe Price International Stock Fund (one of the portfolios comprising T. Rowe Price International Funds, Inc., hereafter referred to as the “Fund”) at October 31, 2016, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at October 31, 2016 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, and confirmation of the underlying funds by correspondence with the transfer agent, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Item 2. Code of Ethics.

The registrant has adopted a code of ethics, as defined in Item 2 of Form N-CSR, applicable to its principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. A copy of this code of ethics is filed as an exhibit to this Form N-CSR. No substantive amendments were approved or waivers were granted to this code of ethics during the period covered by this report.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

The registrant’s Board of Directors/Trustees has determined that Mr. Bruce W. Duncan qualifies as an audit committee financial expert, as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR. Mr. Duncan is considered independent for purposes of Item 3 of Form N-CSR.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

(a) – (d) Aggregate fees billed for the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered to, or on behalf of, the registrant by the registrant’s principal accountant were as follows:

Audit fees include amounts related to the audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements and services normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings. Audit-related fees include amounts reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the registrant’s financial statements and specifically include the issuance of a report on internal controls and, if applicable, agreed-upon procedures related to fund acquisitions. Tax fees include amounts related to services for tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice. The nature of these services specifically includes the review of distribution calculations and the preparation of Federal, state, and excise tax returns. All other fees include the registrant’s pro-rata share of amounts for agreed-upon procedures in conjunction with service contract approvals by the registrant’s Board of Directors/Trustees.

(e)(1) The registrant’s audit committee has adopted a policy whereby audit and non-audit services performed by the registrant’s principal accountant for the registrant, its investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant require pre-approval in advance at regularly scheduled audit committee meetings. If such a service is required between regularly scheduled audit committee meetings, pre-approval may be authorized by one audit committee member with ratification at the next scheduled audit committee meeting. Waiver of pre-approval for audit or non-audit services requiring fees of a de minimis amount is not permitted.

     (2) No services included in (b) – (d) above were approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

(f) Less than 50 percent of the hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees.

(g) The aggregate fees billed for the most recent fiscal year and the preceding fiscal year by the registrant’s principal accountant for non-audit services rendered to the registrant, its investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant were $1,890,000 and $2,366,000, respectively.

(h) All non-audit services rendered in (g) above were pre-approved by the registrant’s audit committee. Accordingly, these services were considered by the registrant’s audit committee in maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.

(b) The registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer are aware of no change in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant’s second fiscal quarter covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
