T. ROWE PRICE GLOBAL GROWTH STOCK FUND

HIGHLIGHTS

■ The Global Growth Stock Fund returned 36.63% during the period, underperforming its benchmark, the MSCI All Country World Index Net, but outperforming the Lipper peer group average.

■ Relative underperformance was mainly due to stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector. Our underweight and eventual lack of exposure to the energy sector also weighed on relative returns. On the positive side, an overweight to financials, coupled with strong stock selection, contributed the most to relative results. At the regional level, holdings in developed Europe detracted the most, while security choices in North America boosted relative performance.

■ We have been focused on maintaining a broadly balanced portfolio and remain largely sector neutral in our positioning. Our largest overweights at the end of the reporting period were in consumer discretionary and health care, while our largest underweights were in energy and consumer staples. At the regional level, emerging markets represent a meaningful overweight due to the structural, long-term growth drivers we see in select countries.

■ Given the opportunities and unknowns that are defining equity markets today, we are focused on keeping a balanced portfolio of diverse holdings across sectors and regions. We expect there will be some volatility and potentially choppy markets as the coronavirus moves to an endemic state and will continue to keep an open and humble mind given the still-wide range of potential outcomes.

CIO Market Commentary

Dear Shareholder

Global stock markets produced strong returns during your fund’s fiscal year, the 12-month period ended October 31, 2021. The rollout of coronavirus vaccines helped drive extraordinary gains in the first half of the reporting period, and while the equity rally slowed in recent months, some benchmarks continued to grind out new record highs as the period came to an end.

In the U.S., the S&P 500 Index was up 43% (including dividends) for the 12-month period, and most developed market benchmarks advanced more than 30%. Emerging markets produced solid results for the full year but faced increased volatility in the second half of the period. According to MSCI, value stocks narrowly outperformed their growth counterparts over the 12 months. At the sector level, energy stocks delivered very strong returns as oil prices reached multiyear highs, and banks also performed well, supported by higher longer-term interest rates and improved lending margins.

Fixed income markets faced headwinds as Treasury yields rose rapidly in the first quarter of 2021 from the historically low levels seen last year, although high yield bonds performed well. Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar was mixed against foreign currencies over the full year.

Strong corporate earnings growth supported stocks and corporate bonds throughout the period, but investors faced new worries as the period progressed. The spread of the delta variant of the coronavirus dashed hopes that vaccines would bring about a quick end to the pandemic, and economic growth, while still positive, began to slow. U.S. gross domestic product decelerated from a 6.7% annual pace in the second quarter to 2.0% in the third quarter (according to the initial estimate) amid weaker consumer spending. Some Purchasing Managers’ Indexes showed evidence of slowing economic activity globally.

Investors also worried about how developments in China would impact the global economy. The Chinese government announced more stringent business regulations during the period, particularly on the technology sector, and the precarious debt load of a large property developer added to market concerns.

Meanwhile, inflation surged as the release of pent-up demand and supply chain disruptions contributed to higher prices around the globe. Inflation measures in the U.S., UK, and eurozone all reached their highest levels in more than a decade and far exceeded central bank targets, although most policymakers argued that elevated inflation was a transitory phenomenon caused by the reopening of economies.

The fiscal and monetary stimulus that global governments and central banks enacted in response to the pandemic continued to be supportive for markets but appears to have peaked. Just after our reporting period ended, the Federal Reserve announced it would begin trimming its purchases of Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities in November and would likely wrap up its asset purchases by next summer. The Fed’s latest projections indicated that a rate hike isn’t likely until the second half of next year at the earliest, but other central banks have begun telegraphing that rate hikes could come soon.

How markets respond to the normalization of monetary policy is an open question. While fading stimulus might pose some challenges for investors, I believe it could contribute to a return of price sensitivity in global markets, which bodes well for selective investors focused on fundamentals.

While I do not expect robust overall equity returns in the near term given the market’s elevated valuations, I am mindful that investors have not yet enjoyed all the potential fruits of the recovery. Many companies have yet to see business return to pre-pandemic levels, and identifying which ones are either regaining their footing or disrupting markets through innovation will be key. I’m confident our portfolio managers and global research organization will serve our investors well in this environment.

Thank you for your continued confidence in T. Rowe Price.

Sincerely,

Robert Sharps
Group Chief Investment Officer

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

The fund seeks long-term growth of capital through investments primarily in the common stocks of large-cap companies throughout the world, including the U.S.

FUND COMMENTARY

How did the fund perform in the past 12 months?

The Global Growth Stock Fund returned 36.63% in the 12-month period ended October 31, 2021. The fund underperformed the MSCI All Country World Index Net benchmark, which returned 37.28%, but outperformed the Lipper Global Multi-Cap Growth Funds Average, which returned 36.27%. (Returns for the Advisor and I Class shares varied slightly, reflecting their different fee structures. Past performance cannot guarantee future results.)

What factors influenced the fund’s performance?

From a sector perspective, the fund’s relative underperformance was mainly due to stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector. Our underweight and eventual lack of exposure to the energy sector also hurt. On the positive side, an overweight to financials, coupled with positive stock selection, contributed the most to relative performance. At the regional level, holdings in developed Europe weighed the most on relative performance, while stock selection in North America boosted relative returns.

Within the consumer discretionary sector, our position in THG was the largest relative detractor. THG owns The Hut Group, which operates as a multi-website online retailer that provides health, beauty, fashion, lifestyle, and marketplace services. Despite delivering solid earnings results throughout the period, shares dropped precipitously near the end of the year due to a number of catalysts, including concerns that the firm’s third-quarter earnings results would be worse than expected and fears about corporate governance and company management. We think the market’s fears are overblown and believe THG is an extremely compelling company that is just beginning to develop a differentiated enterprise e-commerce platform to help brands and retailers build a global online direct-to-consumer footprint. (Please refer to the portfolio of investments for a complete list of holdings and the amount each represents in the portfolio).

Our underweight and eventual lack of exposure to the energy sector also hurt relative performance. While oil prices have rebounded and there is better balance between supply and demand in the short term, we continue to have a subdued medium- and long-term outlook on the sector due to still-rampant U.S. shale productivity; less impetus for coordination between oil-producing nations; and growing environmental, social, and governance concerns. We eliminated our holdings during the reporting period and had no exposure to the energy sector at the end of October.

On the positive side, our overweight to financials, coupled with stock selection, helped relative performance, and our position in Wells Fargo was the largest relative contributor within the sector. The company benefited from expectations for rising interest rates and consumer credit resilience over the period, while also making meaningful progress in its multiyear quest to satisfy a Federal Reserve regulatory order that triggered a costly asset cap that is hindering the bank’s growth. While we are mindful of rising valuations, we continue to believe Wells Fargo offers significant growth potential, and we think the bank’s relatively new but seasoned management team can continue to drive improvements.

How is the fund positioned?

Our positioning remains largely sector neutral. We are currently in a very challenging environment in which markets are debating the timing of the end to the pandemic, the virus’s transition to an endemic state, and what the world will look like in the next six to 12 months. This is creating more complexity for us, and with so many unknowns, our most pressing goal is to keep a very balanced portfolio of diverse holdings across sectors and regions. As always, we want to own truly innovative companies that can produce solid growth over a two- to three-year time horizon, while paying a reasonable price. With the market oscillating between favoring secular and cyclical companies (as well as “COVID-on” and “COVID-off” names), we are being diligent about using the opportunities presented to pick up names we like at reasonable valuations.

At the end of October, the fund’s largest sector overweight was the consumer discretionary sector. The fund was also overweight the health care and financials sectors, though not dramatically so. The overall largest sector shift during the 12-month period occurred in financials, where we reduced our exposure to a more modest overweight position. We added relatively meaningfully to consumer discretionary and health care and eliminated our exposure to the energy sector, as mentioned earlier.

Consumer discretionary represents our largest overweight position, where we are focused on leaders within the global online retail and consumer services ecosystems. COVID-19 has pulled forward years of e-commerce share gains, and we have an expanded and diverse set of names levered to that trend. We continue to think the market is severely underestimating the profound effect the pandemic has had on the consumer landscape. We believe it is now vital for companies to view their businesses through an omnichannel lens, and it is no longer an option for businesses to ignore the need for an online presence. One of our largest additions over the period was in South Korean e-commerce and delivery platform Coupang, which we think has a long runway for growth as it continues to disrupt offline commerce by offering consumers faster delivery, more selections, and lower prices. The firm has heavily invested in logistics and technology, which has created a strong moat that makes its strategy difficult for competitors to follow. Within the sector, we also added new positions in JD Health International (an offshoot of Chinese e-commerce company JD.com), Pinduoduo, D-Market Elektronik Hizmetler Ve Ticaret, and Meituan, while also adding to existing positions Amazon.com, Magazine Luiza, ASOS, and THG.

We significantly reduced our exposure to financials over the period to a more modest overweight. Although interest rates are likely to rise as the pandemic wanes, we still think rates will remain relatively lower for longer, which would be a headwind for traditional developed market banks. We are overweight U.S. capital markets companies that do not have meaningful credit exposure and benefit from a lower interest rate environment, and we own several emerging markets banks that we believe are undervalued and underappreciated. We also have exposure to high-quality alternative asset managers and insurance companies. Some of our largest eliminations in the sector were Fifth Third Bancorp, Credicorp, and MetLife, and we also trimmed positions in Wells Fargo, Tradeweb Markets, KKR, and Brookfield Asset Management. We did, however, start a new position in MarketAxess Holdings and added meaningfully to London Stock Exchange on weakness.

Regionally, our weighting to Japan increased, while other regions had more modest changes. We continue to be overweight fast-growing emerging markets countries that have low debt-to-gross domestic product ratios and attractive demographic growth, such as India, Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines. The portfolio is also overweight China, with an emphasis on domestic exposure to areas like information technology and health care, where there is abundant innovation and the government is focused on building vibrant domestic industries. While we are underweight North America, it still makes up the majority of our geographic allocation at approximately 57% of assets.

What is portfolio management’s outlook?

We are witnessing a challenging and fascinating macro environment within equity markets, with an interesting mix of positive and negative tensions. Global economic growth remains above trend, albeit past peak levels; liquidity remains abundant, although policy accommodation is expected to gradually tighten; substantial progress on vaccine distribution has been made, but we face increased risk from the fast-spreading delta variant; publicly traded companies have broadly delivered strong earnings, yet they face prospects of higher taxes and a stricter regulatory environment; and equity valuations are more than a standard deviation above their historical average on a 30-year view. However, investors are getting more yield in equities than in high yield bonds, and market sentiment is more positive than not, but not outrightly bullish. Additionally, policy objectives in China have continued to evolve, which has led to even more investor complexity.

We expect markets to remain volatile in the near term given the ongoing pushes and pulls across such large dimensions. In response, we are trying to be balanced within the portfolio, keeping the overall portfolio beta near 1.0, which is comparable to the broad market’s volatility. While our mandate is growth oriented, we have the flexibility to be contrarian, which allows us to buy the best assets at good prices and embrace some uncertainty, particularly when that uncertainty has already led to very meaningful price declines. This approach has manifested itself within the portfolio through an increased exposure to China, a co-leader in technology and artificial intelligence; the world’s second-biggest economy; and which is located at the center of southeast Asia, which we view as the most vibrant region of the world. We are not making a portfolio-defining bet, but we are leaning into China on weakness, especially in names we believe will provide compelling upside over the long term, despite near-term headwinds.

While there are still many unknowns, we think the environment is likely to remain supportive for stocks for a while yet. We anticipate that the post-pandemic world will be similar to what it was pre-pandemic, with relatively lower growth and still low rates. There is a fair amount of pent-up demand to be released as economies open up, which should also benefit equities to some degree. We continue to thoughtfully process information as it is uncovered and are open-minded that the world can change as time progresses and events unfold. Overall, we remain encouraged by our portfolio holdings and their long-term ability to deliver durable growth to our clients.

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.

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 include a broad-based market index and may also include 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.

AVERAGE ANNUAL COMPOUND TOTAL RETURN

EXPENSE RATIO

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 three share classes: The original share class (Investor Class) charges no distribution and service (12b-1) fee, the Advisor Class shares are offered only through unaffiliated brokers and other financial intermediaries and charge a 0.25% 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 Personal Services or Enhanced Personal Services client (enrollment in these programs generally requires T. Rowe Price assets of at least $250,000). 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 Global Growth 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 large-cap companies throughout the world, including the U.S. The fund has three classes of shares: the Global Growth Stock Fund (Investor Class), the Global Growth Stock Fund–Advisor Class (Advisor Class), and the Global Growth Stock Fund–I Class (I Class). Advisor Class shares are sold only through various brokers and other financial intermediaries. I Class shares require a $1 million initial investment minimum, although the minimum generally is waived for retirement plans, financial intermediaries, and certain other accounts. The Advisor Class operates under a Board-approved Rule 12b-1 plan pursuant to which the 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 Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date basis. Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses are reported on the identified cost basis. Income tax-related interest and penalties, if incurred, are recorded as income tax expense. 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. Distributions from REITs are initially recorded as dividend income and, to the extent such represent a return of capital or capital gain for tax purposes, are reclassified when such information becomes available. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the asset received. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions, if any, are declared and paid by each class annually. A capital gain distribution may also be 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 provided by an outside pricing service. Purchases and sales of securities, income, and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective date of such transaction. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on realized and unrealized security gains and losses is not bifurcated from the portion attributable to changes in market prices.

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 pays Rule 12b-1 fees, in an amount not exceeding 0.25% of the class’s average daily net assets.

Capital Transactions Each investor’s interest in the net assets of the fund is represented by fund shares. The fund’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. Purchases and redemptions of fund shares are transacted at the next-computed NAV per share, after receipt of the transaction order by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc., or its agents.

Indemnification In the normal course of business, the fund may provide indemnification in connection with its officers and directors, service providers, and/or private company investments. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the risk of material loss is currently considered to be remote. 

NOTE 2 - VALUATION

Fair Value The fund’s financial instruments are valued at the close of the NYSE and 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 policies and procedures used in valuing financial instruments, including those which cannot be valued in accordance with normal procedures or using pricing vendors; determines pricing techniques, sources, and persons eligible to effect fair value pricing actions; evaluates the services and performance of the pricing vendors; oversees the pricing process to ensure policies and procedures are being followed; and provides guidance on internal controls and valuation-related matters. The Valuation Committee provides periodic reporting to the Board on valuation matters.

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 (including the fund’s own assumptions in determining fair value)

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, including exchange-traded funds, 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.

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 affect the value of some or all of its portfolio securities. Each business day, the fund uses information from outside pricing services to evaluate and, if appropriate, decide whether it is necessary to adjust quoted prices to reflect fair value by reviewing 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 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.

Investments in mutual funds are valued at the mutual fund’s closing NAV per share on the day of valuation. 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.

Investments for which market quotations or market-based valuations are not readily available or deemed unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee, in accordance with fair valuation policies and procedures. 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. Factors used in determining fair value vary by type of investment and may include market or investment specific considerations. 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; discounted cash flows; yield to maturity; 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 investment. 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.

Valuation Inputs The following table summarizes the fund’s financial instruments, based on the inputs used to determine their fair values on October 31, 2021 (for further detail by category, please refer to the accompanying Portfolio of Investments):

Following is a reconciliation of the fund’s Level 3 holdings for the year ended October 31, 2021. 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, 2021, totaled $31,879,000 for the year ended October 31, 2021. During the year, transfers into Level 3 resulted from a lack of observable market data for the security and transfers out of Level 3 were because observable market data became available for the security.

In accordance with GAAP, the following table provides quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs used to determine the fair valuations of the fund’s Level 3 assets, by class of financial instrument. Because the Valuation Committee considers a wide variety of factors and inputs, both observable and unobservable, in determining fair values, the unobservable inputs presented do not reflect all inputs significant to the fair value determination.

NOTE 3 - 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 and Frontier Markets The fund invests, either directly or through investments in other T. Rowe Price funds, in securities of companies located in, issued by governments of, or denominated in or linked to the currencies of emerging and frontier market countries. Emerging markets, and to a greater extent frontier 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. Investing in frontier markets is significantly riskier than investing in other countries, including emerging markets.

Restricted Securities The fund invests 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.

Private Investments Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies Special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) are shell companies that have no operations but are formed to raise capital with the intention of merging with or acquiring a company with the proceeds of the SPAC’s initial public offering (IPO). The fund may enter into a contingent commitment with a SPAC to purchase private investments in public equity (PIPE) if and when the SPAC completes its merger or acquisition. The fund maintains liquid assets sufficient to settle its commitment to purchase the PIPE. However, if the commitment expires, then no shares are purchased. 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; however, in certain circumstances, the issuer may have the right to temporarily suspend trading of the shares in the first year after the merger or acquisition. The securities issued by a SPAC may be considered illiquid, more difficult to value, and/or be subject to restrictions on resale.

Securities Lending The fund may lend its securities to approved borrowers 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. 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 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, 2021, the value of loaned securities was $17,698,000; the value of cash collateral and related investments was $18,502,000.

Other Purchases and sales of portfolio securities other than short-term securities aggregated $958,875,000 and $872,437,000, respectively, for the year ended October 31, 2021.

NOTE 4 - FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

Generally, 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.

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.

Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character but are not adjusted for temporary differences. The permanent book/tax adjustments have no impact on results of operations or net assets and relate primarily to 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 and the character of foreign capital gains taxes. For the year ended October 31, 2021, the following reclassification was recorded:

Distributions during the years ended October 31, 2021 and October 31, 2020, totaled $44,039,000 and $1,842,000, respectively, and were characterized as ordinary income for tax purposes. At October 31, 2021, 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 and the realization of gains/losses on passive foreign investment companies for tax purposes.

NOTE 5 - FOREIGN TAXES

The fund is subject to foreign income taxes imposed by certain countries in which it invests. Additionally, 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. 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. To the extent that the fund has country specific capital loss carryforwards, such carryforwards are applied against net unrealized gains when determining the deferred tax liability. Any deferred tax liability incurred by the fund is included in either Other liabilities or Deferred tax liability on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities. 

NOTE 6 - ACQUISITION

On November 25, 2019, the fund acquired substantially all of the assets of the Institutional Global Growth Equity Fund (the acquired fund), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated July 31, 2019. The acquired fund was available only to institutional investors and required an initial investment of $1,000,000; the same as the fund’s I Class investment minimum. The acquired fund shared a nearly identical investment program as the fund and the fund's I Class offered a lower net expense ratio than that of the acquired fund. Accordingly, it no longer made sense to offer both funds. The Boards of the acquired fund and the fund approved the reorganization and, the Board of the acquired fund approved its liquidation and dissolution. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of 5,163,000 shares of the fund with a value of $151,133,000 for all 6,075,000 shares of the acquired fund then outstanding, with the same value. The exchange was based on values at the close of the NYSE on the immediately preceding business day, November 22, 2019. The net assets of the acquired fund at that date included $39,196,000 of unrealized appreciation. Assets of the acquired fund, including securities of $143,905,000, cash of $6,982,000, and receivables and other assets of $247,000, and payables of $1,000, were combined with those of the fund, resulting in aggregate net assets of $698,135,000 immediately after the acquisition.

Pro forma results of operations of the combined entity for the entire year ended October 31, 2020, as though the acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of the year (rather than on the actual acquisition date), are as follows:

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 0.260% for assets in excess of $845 billion. The fund’s group fee is determined by applying the group fee rate to the fund’s average daily net assets. The fee is computed daily and paid monthly. At October 31, 2021, the effective annual group fee rate was 0.28%. Effective November 1, 2019, Price Associates agreed to permanently waive a portion of the fund’s annual investment management fee in order to limit the fund’s management fees to 0.65% of the fund’s average daily net assets. This agreement can only be modified or terminated with approval by the fund’s shareholders. The fund has no obligation to repay fees waived under this arrangement. No management fees were waived under this arrangement for the year ended October 31, 2021.

The Investor Class was subject to a contractual expense limitation through the expense limitation date indicated in the table below. During the limitation period, Price Associates was required to waive its management fee or pay any expenses (excluding interest; expenses related to borrowings, taxes, and brokerage; and other non-recurring expenses permitted by the investment management agreement) that would have otherwise caused the class’s ratio of annualized total expenses to average net assets (net expense ratio) to exceed its expense limitation. 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 net expense ratio (after the repayment is taken into account) to exceed the lesser of: (1) the expense limitation in place at the time such amounts were waived; or (2) the class’s current expense limitation. However, no repayment will be made more than three years after the date of a payment or waiver.

The Advisor Class is subject to a contractual expense limitation through the expense limitation date indicated in the table below. During the limitation period, Price Associates is required to waive its management fee or pay any expenses (excluding interest; expenses related to borrowings, taxes, and brokerage; 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 (net expense ratio) to exceed its expense limitation. 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 net expense ratio (after the repayment is taken into account) to exceed the lesser of: (1) the expense limitation in place at the time such amounts were waived; or (2) the class’s current expense limitation. 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; expenses related to borrowings, taxes, and brokerage; and other non-recurring expenses permitted by the investment management agreement, to the extent such operating expenses, on an annualized basis, exceed the I Class Limit. This agreement will continue through the expense limitation date indicated in the table below, 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 (after the repayment is taken into account) to exceed the lesser of: (1) the I Class Limit in place at the time such amounts were paid; or (2) the current I Class Limit. However, no repayment will be made more than three years after the date of a payment or waiver.

Pursuant to these agreements, expenses were waived/paid by and/or repaid to Price Associates during the year ended October 31, 2021 as indicated in the table below. Including these amounts, expenses previously waived/paid by Price Associates in the amount of $1,000 remain subject to repayment by the fund at October 31, 2021. Any repayment of expenses previously waived/paid by Price Associates during the period would be included in the net investment income and expense ratios presented on the accompanying Financial Highlights.

In addition, the fund has entered into service agreements with Price Associates and two wholly owned subsidiaries of Price Associates, each an affiliate of the fund (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 and Advisor Class. For the year ended October 31, 2021, expenses incurred pursuant to these service agreements were $73,000 for Price Associates; $443,000 for T. Rowe Price Services, Inc.; and $11,000 for T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc. All amounts due to and due from Price, exclusive of investment management fees payable, are presented net on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

The fund may invest its cash reserves in certain open-end management investment companies managed by Price Associates and considered affiliates of the fund: the T. Rowe Price Government Reserve Fund or the T. Rowe Price Treasury Reserve Fund, organized as money market funds, or the T. Rowe Price Short-Term Fund, a short-term bond fund (collectively, the Price Reserve Funds). The Price Reserve 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. Cash collateral from securities lending, if any, is invested in the T. Rowe Price Short-Term Fund. The Price Reserve Funds pay no investment management fees.

As of October 31, 2021, T. Rowe Price Group, Inc., or its wholly owned subsidiaries, owned 391,518 shares of the I Class, representing 2% of the I 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, 2021, the aggregate value of purchases and sales cross trades with other funds or accounts advised by Price Associates was less than 1% of the fund’s net assets as of October 31, 2021.

Price Associates has voluntarily agreed to reimburse the fund from its own resources on a monthly basis for the cost of investment research embedded in the cost of the fund’s securities trades. This agreement may be rescinded at any time. For the year ended October 31, 2021, this reimbursement amounted to $46,000, which is included in Net realized gain (loss) on Securities in the Statement of Operations.

NOTE 8 - OTHER MATTERS

Unpredictable events such as environmental or natural disasters, war, terrorism, pandemics, outbreaks of infectious diseases, and similar public health threats may significantly affect the economy and the markets and issuers in which a fund invests. Certain events may cause instability across global markets, including reduced liquidity and disruptions in trading markets, while some events may affect certain geographic regions, countries, sectors, and industries more significantly than others, and exacerbate other pre-existing political, social, and economic risks. The fund’s performance could be negatively impacted if the value of a portfolio holding were harmed by such events. Since 2020, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) has resulted in disruptions to global business activity and caused significant volatility and declines in global financial markets. The duration of this outbreak or others and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. 

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM 

To the Board of Directors of T. Rowe Price International Funds, Inc. and Shareholders of T. Rowe Price Global Growth Stock Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of T. Rowe Price Global Growth Stock Fund (one of the funds constituting T. Rowe Price International Funds, Inc., referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of October 31, 2021, the related statement of operations for the year ended October 31, 2021, the statement 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 periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of October 31, 2021, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended October 31, 2021 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund 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, transfer agent 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 opinion.

HOW TO OBTAIN QUARTERLY PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

The fund’s reports on Form N-PORT are available electronically on the SEC’s website (sec.gov). In addition, most T. Rowe Price funds disclose their first and third fiscal quarter-end holdings on troweprice.com. 

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

In accordance with Rule 22e-4 (Liquidity Rule) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the fund has established a liquidity risk management program (Liquidity Program) reasonably designed to assess and manage the fund’s liquidity risk, which generally represents the risk that the fund would not be able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the fund. The fund’s Board of Directors (Board) has appointed the fund’s investment advisor, T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (Price Associates), as the administrator of the Liquidity Program. As administrator, Price Associates is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the Liquidity Program and, among other things, is responsible for assessing, managing, and reviewing with the Board at least annually the liquidity risk of each T. Rowe Price fund. Price Associates has delegated oversight of the Liquidity Program to a Liquidity Risk Committee (LRC), which is a cross-functional committee composed of personnel from multiple departments within Price Associates.

The Liquidity Program’s principal objectives include supporting the T. Rowe Price funds’ compliance with limits on investments in illiquid assets and mitigating the risk that the fund will be unable to timely meet its redemption obligations. The Liquidity Program also includes a number of elements that support the management and assessment of liquidity risk, including an annual assessment of factors that influence the fund’s liquidity and the periodic classification and reclassification of a fund’s investments into categories that reflect the LRC’s assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. Under the Liquidity Program, every investment held by the fund is classified at least monthly into one of four liquidity categories based on estimations of the investment’s ability to be sold during designated time frames in current market conditions without significantly changing the investment’s market value.

As required by the Liquidity Rule, at a meeting held on July 27, 2021, the Board was presented with an annual assessment prepared by the LRC, on behalf of Price Associates, that addressed the operation of the Liquidity Program and assessed its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation, including any material changes to the Liquidity Program and the determination of each fund’s Highly Liquid Investment Minimum (HLIM). The annual assessment included consideration of the following factors, as applicable: the fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, including whether the investment strategy is appropriate for an open-end fund, the extent to which the strategy involves a relatively concentrated portfolio or large positions in particular issuers, and the use of borrowings for investment purposes and derivatives; short-term and long-term cash flow projections covering both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and holdings of cash and cash equivalents, as well as available borrowing arrangements.

For the fund and other T. Rowe Price funds, the annual assessment incorporated a report related to a fund’s holdings, shareholder and portfolio concentration, any borrowings during the period, cash flow projections, and other relevant data for the period of April 1, 2020, through March 31, 2021. The report described the methodology for classifying a fund’s investments (including derivative transactions) into one of four liquidity categories, as well as the percentage of a fund’s investments assigned to each category. It also explained the methodology for establishing a fund’s HLIM and noted that the LRC reviews the HLIM assigned to each fund no less frequently than annually.

During the period covered by the annual assessment, the LRC has concluded, and reported to the Board, that the Liquidity Program continues to operate adequately and effectively and is reasonably designed to assess and manage the fund’s liquidity risk.

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 Ms. Teresa Bryce Bazemore qualifies as an audit committee financial expert, as defined in Item 3 of Form N-CSR. Ms. Bazemore 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 $3,600,000 and $3,627,000, 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.
