President's Letter

Dear Shareholder,

I am pleased to present this annual shareholder report for the Neuberger Berman Income Funds.

The U.S. economy expanded in fits and starts during the reporting period. Weak growth during the beginning of 2015 was partially attributed to severe winter weather in parts of the country. After gathering some momentum during the second quarter, economic growth again moderated as the period progressed. Mixed economic data in the U.S., along with concerns regarding slowing growth in China and its potential impact on the world markets, triggered several flights to quality and declining intermediate- and long-term Treasury yields. While the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) maintained its accommodative monetary policy, short-term Treasury yields moved higher in anticipation of an interest rate "liftoff."

All told, the overall bond market, as measured by the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, gained 1.96% during the 12 months ended October 31, 2015. Most non-Treasury securities produced modest gains but generated mixed results versus equal-duration Treasuries. Among the best absolute performers were less interest rate-sensitive securities, such as asset-backed securities.

Looking ahead, we believe the U.S. economy will continue to expand in 2016. However, growth could remain relatively muted, while inflation could edge somewhat higher as the year progresses. Against this backdrop, we anticipate the Fed will move toward policy normalization. In our view, the Fed will be gradual in its tightening cycle and we anticipate two to three rate hikes over the next 12 months, with a federal funds rate of approximately 0.75% – 1.0% by the end of 2016.

We believe our fixed income funds are appropriately positioned given our economic and interest rate outlook. We anticipate maintaining overweight positions in non-Treasuries relative to the funds' benchmarks. We also have a generally constructive outlook for the municipal market. As always, we will actively manage our fixed income funds and adjust their portfolios as we feel appropriate given changing economic and investment conditions.

Thank you for your continued support and trust. We look forward to continue serving your investment needs in the years to come.

Sincerely,

ROBERT CONTI
PRESIDENT AND CEO
NEUBERGER BERMAN MUTUAL FUNDS

Core Bond Fund Commentary (Unaudited)

Neuberger Berman Core Bond Fund Institutional Class generated a 1.69% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2015 but underperformed its benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which provided a 1.96% return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)

Despite periods of volatility, the overall fixed income market posted a positive return over the 12-month reporting period. Short-term Treasury yields rose in anticipation of the first U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) rate hike in nearly a decade. In contrast, longer-term rates declined given several flights to quality triggered by signs of moderating global growth and numerous geopolitical issues. The yield on the 10-year Treasury began the period at 2.35% and fell to as low as 1.68% in late January 2015, before ending the period at 2.16%. Most non-Treasury securities produced modest gains but generated mixed results versus equal-duration Treasuries during the reporting period.

The Fund's underperformance was partially driven by its defensive duration position. Given our belief that rates would move somewhat higher, we maintained a duration that was shorter than the benchmark. This position was not rewarded as intermediate- and longer-term rates declined during the period. An allocation to Treasury Inflation-Indexed Bonds also detracted from results as inflation remained muted during the period. Additionally, the Fund used financial futures contracts to assist in managing its duration positioning, which contributed to results.

On the upside, the Fund's allocation to non-Treasury securities was generally additive for results. Among the largest contributors to performance were the Fund's exposures to commercial mortgage-backed securities and non-agency mortgage-backed securities, along with security selection of investment grade corporate bonds. Elsewhere, our positioning among global developed market sovereigns was beneficial for returns.

Looking ahead, we anticipate that growth in the U.S. will continue to be driven by solid consumer spending, supported by stronger corporate balance sheets, lower energy costs and subdued inflation. In our view, the U.S. economy could expand in 2016. In terms of the Fed, we have long felt that the timing of its initial rate hike was not as important as the pace and magnitude of future rate hikes. While we believe a decision on a rate hike will be data dependent, we see this as being a very slow and moderate process, likely taking several years before normalization ultimately occurs. Against this backdrop, we anticipate maintaining our defensive duration positioning and overweight to the spread sectors.

Sincerely,

THANOS BARDAS, DAVID M. BROWN, ANDREW A. JOHNSON, THOMAS J. MARTHALER AND BRADLEY C. TANK

The performance data quoted represent past performance and do not indicate future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, please visit www.nb.com/performance.

The results shown in the table reflect the reinvestment of income dividends and other distributions, if any. The results do not reflect the effect of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares.

The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Returns would have been lower if Neuberger Berman Management LLC (Management) had not reimbursed certain expenses and/or waived a portion of the investment management fees during certain of the periods shown. Repayment by a class (of expenses previously reimbursed and/or fees previously waived by Management) will decrease the class's returns. Please see Note B in the Notes to Financial Statements for specific information regarding expense reimbursement and/or fee waiver arrangements.

For the period ended October 31, 2015, the 30-day SEC yields were 2.05%, 2.45%, 1.96% and 1.30% for Investor Class, Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively. Absent expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, the 30-day SEC yields would have been 1.62%, 2.31%, 1.86% and 1.23% for Investor Class, Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively.

As stated in the Fund's most recent prospectus, the total annual operating expense ratios for fiscal year 2014 were 1.15%, 0.65%, 1.04% and 1.79% for Investor Class, Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively (before expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, if any). The expense ratios were 0.87%, 0.47%, 0.87% and 1.62% for Investor Class, Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively, after expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers. The expense ratios for the annual period ended October 31, 2015 can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report.

Returns shown with a sales charge reflect the deduction of the current maximum initial sales charge of 4.25% for Class A shares and the contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for Class C shares. The CDSC for Class C shares is 1%, which is reduced to 0% after 1 year. The performance of the Fund's share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses. Please see the prospectus for more information about sales charge structures, if any, and class expenses for your share class.

This graph shows the change in value of a hypothetical $1,000,000 investment in the Fund over the past 10 fiscal years, or since the Fund's inception if it has not operated for 10 years. The graph is based on the Institutional Class shares only; the performance of the Fund's share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses (see Performance Highlights chart on previous page). The result is compared with benchmarks, which include a broad-based market index and may include a more narrowly based index. Market indices have not been reduced to reflect any of the fees and costs of investing. The results shown in the graph reflect the reinvestment of income dividends and other distributions, if any. The results do not reflect the effect of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares.

Floating Rate Income Fund Commentary (Unaudited)

Neuberger Berman Floating Rate Income Fund Institutional Class generated a 1.48% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2015 and outperformed its benchmark, the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index, which provided a 0.48% return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)

The senior floating rate bank loan market posted a positive return during the reporting period and modestly outperformed equal-duration Treasuries. Supporting the market were overall solid fundamentals and relatively low defaults. Retail demand for the asset class was challenged, but this was offset by strong demand from collateralized loan obligation issuance. For the 12 months ended October 31, 2015, securities rated B in the index gained 0.68%, whereas securities rated BB and securities rated CCC and lower returned 3.08% and -16.42%, respectively.

We tactically adjusted the Fund's position in non-floating rate securities during the reporting period. We have the flexibility to allocate up to 20% of the portfolio to these securities, and we have usually invested in fixed-rate senior secured bonds as our non-floating rate allocation. Relative value between floating rate loans and bonds fluctuated during the reporting period given the increase in market volatility. Against this backdrop, the Fund's allocation to non-floating rate securities, which began the period at approximately 4.8% of the portfolio, was reduced to approximately 2.6% toward the middle of the period, and ended the period at approximately 4.8%.

We continued to actively participate in the new issuance market by emphasizing securities in the primary versus the secondary bank loan market due to the former's higher current yields. We also held the view that securities in the new issue market provided better opportunities on a total return basis. Throughout the period, we emphasized loans in the primary market from issuers that we believed had appropriate capital structures, positive operating momentum and relatively low leverage.

The Fund's higher quality bias largely benefited results during the reporting period. Relative to the benchmark, the Fund's overweight to securities rated BB and securities rated B, along with an underweight to securities rated CCC, were the largest positives for performance. Security selection of BB-rated and CCC-rated loans was also additive for performance. Conversely, the Fund's modest cash position was a drag on results given the positive return of the overall senior floating rate bank loan market.

From a sector perspective, security selection in utilities, lodging & casinos and publishing were the largest contributors to performance during the reporting period. In contrast, security selection in radio & television, oil & gas and financial intermediaries detracted the most from results.

We continue to have a positive outlook for the senior floating rate bank loan market. Our view is driven overall by what we believe to be solid fundamentals, relatively low leverage and continued growth in the U.S. economy. As has been the case thus far in 2015, we believe total returns in 2016 will be largely driven by coupons. We believe senior floating rate bank loans offer attractive relative value compared to other fixed income instruments, particularly if monetary policy normalization occurs. On an issuer-basis, we think the senior floating rate bank loan default rate for the full-year 2015 will end below its historical average, but we anticipate an uptick in 2016. However, it is our opinion that this should be somewhat tempered as there is very little in the way of near-term maturities and we believe issuers will continue to retain strong cash balances.

Sincerely,

ANN H. BENJAMIN, THOMAS P. O'REILLY, JOSEPH P. LYNCH, STEPHEN CASEY AND DANIEL DOYLE

High Income Bond Fund Commentary (Unaudited)

Neuberger Berman High Income Bond Fund Investor Class generated a -2.61% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2015 and underperformed its benchmark, the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Constrained Index, which provided a -2.03% return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)

The overall fixed income market was volatile at times but posted a positive return over the 12-month reporting period. Short-term Treasury yields rose in anticipation of the first U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate hike in nearly a decade. In contrast, longer-term rates declined amid several flights to quality. Despite a strong finish, the high yield market generated weak results during the period. In particular, the energy and metals & mining sectors performed poorly given signs of moderating global growth. Within the benchmark, securities rated CCC (a relatively low rating) and securities rated BB (a higher rating) returned -10.22% and 1.16%, respectively.1

From a sector perspective, security selection in energy and telecommunication services, along with an underweight to banking, detracted the most from performance. Conversely, underweights to metals & mining and energy, an overweight to gaming and security selection in technology & electronics contributed the most to results.

In terms of the Fund's quality bias, security selection of securities rated CCC was generally positive for performance. Elsewhere, selection of securities rated BB and higher rated issues detracted from results.

We made several adjustments to the portfolio during the reporting period. We increased the Fund's allocation to bonds rated BB, moving from an underweight to a slight overweight versus the benchmark. Elsewhere, our allocation to bonds rated CCC moved from an overweight to an underweight versus the benchmark. From a sector perspective, the Fund increased its allocations to technology & electronics, retailers and gas distribution. Conversely, it reduced its exposures to energy, telecommunication services and packaging.

Looking ahead, we believe high yield valuations are attractive versus their default risk. We anticipate U.S. GDP growth of about 2% in 2016, which should be supportive for the overall high yield market.Within the market, leverage remains moderate at 4.1 times debt to cash flow, while near-term bond/loan maturities have been significantly reduced through refinancing. That said, we believe volatility could remain elevated. Defaults in the U.S. high yield market are currently estimated at around 1.5% for 2015, and we believe they could move up to 3% in 2016. Another uncertainty is the Fed's transition to less accommodative monetary policy. While we anticipate several rate hikes in 2016, our view is the Fed will take a gradual approach and move slower than many previously expected. It's important to point out that interest rates have not historically been the primary driver of high yield performance. Rather, this has been largely a function of GDP growth and defaults, both of which we feel will be supportive in 2016. Furthermore, an environment of gradual interest rate hikes has historically been constructive for high yield bonds, as it usually indicates the economy is on solid footing.

Sincerely,

ANN H. BENJAMIN, THOMAS P. O'REILLY, RUSS COVODE AND DANIEL DOYLE

The performance data quoted represent past performance and do not indicate future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, please visit www.nb.com/performance.

The results shown in the table reflect the reinvestment of income dividends and other distributions, if any. The results do not reflect the effect of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares.

The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Returns would have been lower if Neuberger Berman Management LLC (Management) had not reimbursed certain expenses and/or waived a portion of the investment management fees during certain of the periods shown. Repayment by a class (of expenses previously reimbursed and/or fees previously waived by Management) will decrease the class's returns. Please see Note B in the Notes to Financial Statements for specific information regarding expense reimbursement and/or fee waiver arrangements.

For the period ended October 31, 2015, the 30-day SEC yields were 5.79%, 5.93%, 5.41%, 4.81%, 5.28% and 6.00% for Investor Class, Institutional Class, Class A, Class C, Class R3 and Class R6 shares, respectively.

As stated in the Fund's most recent prospectus, the total annual operating expense ratios for fiscal year 2014 were 0.83%, 0.69%, 1.08%, 1.82%, 1.32% and 0.62% for Investor Class, Institutional Class, Class A, Class C, Class R3 and Class R6 shares, respectively (before expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, if any). The expense ratios for the annual period ended October 31, 2015 can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report.

Returns shown with a sales charge reflect the deduction of the current maximum initial sales charge of 4.25% for Class A shares and the contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for Class C shares. The CDSC for Class C shares is 1%, which is reduced to 0% after 1 year. The performance of the Fund's share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses. Please see the prospectus for more information about sales charge structures, if any, and class expenses for your share class.

High Income Bond Fund (Unaudited)

COMPARISON OF A $10,000 INVESTMENT

 

 

This graph shows the change in value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund over the past 10 fiscal years, or since the Fund's inception if it has not operated for 10 years. The graph is based on the Investor Class shares only; the performance of the Fund's share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses (see Performance Highlights chart on previous page). The result is compared with benchmarks, which include a broad-based market index and may include a more narrowly based index. Market indices have not been reduced to reflect any of the fees and costs of investing. The results shown in the graph reflect the reinvestment of income dividends and other distributions, if any. The results do not reflect the effect of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares.

Municipal High Income Fund Commentary (Unaudited)

We are pleased to provide the first annual report for Neuberger Berman Municipal High Income Fund, which was launched on June 22, 2015. The Fund seeks high current income exempt from federal income tax by investing in a diversified mix of investment grade and non-investment grade municipal bonds.

For the period since its inception through October 31, 2015, the Fund's Institutional Class generated a 2.27% total return and outperformed its benchmark, a custom 65%/35% combination of the Barclays Municipal Bond Index and the Barclays Municipal High Yield Index, which provided a 1.41% return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)

The municipal bond market posted a positive return and outperformed the overall taxable bond market during the reporting period. Fundamentals in the municipal market generally improved along with the U.S. economy. This, coupled with declining long-term interest rates, was supportive for the tax-free market. While new supply was robust during the period, it was well absorbed by strong investor demand. All told, the Barclays Municipal Bond Index gained 2.12% for the period from June 22, 2015 through October 31, 2015. Over the same period, the overall taxable bond market, as measured by the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 0.96%.

During the reporting period, we actively invested the Fund's assets in a diversified mix of investment grade and non-investment grade municipal bonds. Given the steepness of the municipal yield curve and our aim to generate incremental income, we maintained a long duration for the Fund. This benefited performance as rates generally declined during the period.

From a sector perspective, an overweight to tobacco securitization bonds was additive for results. Finally, the Fund's overall quality bias was similar to that of the benchmark and was neutral for results.

Looking ahead, we have a generally positive outlook for the municipal market. Fundamentally, we believe the U.S. economy could continue to expand, with modest inflation. Moving forward, we believe two major factors will drive market performance. First, we believe the U.S. Federal Reserve is likely to pressure absolute returns as it moves off its zero-rate target. This could have an uneven impact on the yield curve, highlighting the potential benefits of active yield curve management. Second, we think the municipal market should benefit from what we believe are still attractive valuations relative to taxable alternatives. This, in turn, could drive overall solid investor demand. At the same time, supply could moderate as municipalities have already aggressively taken advantage of low rates to refinance existing debt and lower borrowing costs. Finally, while we anticipate an overall favorable environment for the municipal market, investment sentiment could be challenged at times by headlines surrounding the lingering effect of Puerto Rico's debt restructuring and other one-off credit events.

Sincerely,

Absent repayment, the 30-day SEC yields would have been 4.53% and 3.38% for Institutional Class and Class C shares, respectively.

Municipal Intermediate Bond Fund Commentary (Unaudited)

Neuberger Berman Municipal Intermediate Bond Fund Investor Class generated a 1.82% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2015 but underperformed its benchmark, the Barclays 7-Year G.O. Index, which provided a 2.63% return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)

The municipal bond market posted a positive return and outperformed the overall taxable bond market during the 12-month reporting period. Fundamentals in the municipal market generally improved along with the U.S. economy. This, coupled with declining long-term interest rates, was supportive for the tax-free market. While new supply was robust during the period, it was well absorbed by strong investor demand. All told, the Barclays Municipal Bond Index gained 2.87% for the 12 months ended October 31, 2015. In contrast, the overall taxable bond market, as measured by the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned 1.96%.

Throughout the reporting period, the Fund maintained a barbell approach (investing in shorter and longer maturities). In contrast, the Fund's benchmark is concentrated in the six- to eight-year portion of the curve. Yield curve positioning detracted from results as the intermediate portion of the municipal curve outperformed its shorter- and longer-term counterparts. The Fund's duration positioning did not meaningfully impact performance.

The Fund's quality biases were additive for results. In particular, having overweights to securities rated BBB and A benefited performance. From a sector perspective, overweights to hospitals and housing added to results as these higher yielding sectors outperformed the benchmark.

A number of changes were made to the Fund during the reporting period. We shortened the duration of the portfolio and moved closer to that of the benchmark. Given our expectation for continued market volatility, we increased the overall quality of the portfolio by adding to its AAA-rated exposure and paring its allocation to A-rated securities. Finally, we increased our allocations to the long and short ends of the municipal yield curve and pared our exposure to the intermediate segment of the curve. This was done given our anticipation of a flattening of the municipal yield curve.

Looking ahead, we have a generally positive outlook for the municipal market. Fundamentally, we believe the U.S. economy could continue to expand, with modest inflation. Moving forward, we believe two major factors will drive market performance. First, we believe the U.S. Federal Reserve is likely to pressure absolute returns as it moves off its zero-rate target. This could have an uneven impact on the yield curve, highlighting the potential benefits of active yield curve management.

The performance data quoted represent past performance and do not indicate future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, please visit www.nb.com/performance.

The results shown in the table reflect the reinvestment of income dividends and other distributions, if any. The results do not reflect the effect of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares.

The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Returns would have been lower if Neuberger Berman Management LLC (Management) had not reimbursed certain expenses and/or waived a portion of the investment management fees during certain of the periods shown. Repayment by a class (of expenses previously reimbursed and/or fees previously waived by Management) will decrease the class's returns. Please see Note B in the Notes to Financial Statements for specific information regarding expense reimbursement and/or fee waiver arrangements.

For the period ended October 31, 2015, the 30-day SEC yield was 1.24% for Institutional Class. The tax-equivalent yield was 2.19% for Institutional Class for a shareholder in the highest federal income tax bracket (39.6% plus 3.8% Medicare contribution tax).9

As stated in the Fund's most recent prospectus, the total annual operating expense ratio for fiscal year 2014 was 0.87% for Institutional Class shares (before expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, if any). The expense ratios for the annual period ended October 31, 2015 can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report.

Short Duration Bond Fund Commentary (Unaudited)

Neuberger Berman Short Duration Bond Fund Investor Class generated a 0.44% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2015 but underperformed its benchmark, the Barclays 1-3 Year U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index, which provided a 0.87% return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)

Despite periods of volatility, the overall fixed income market posted a positive return over the 12-month reporting period. Short-term Treasury yields rose in anticipation of the first U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate hike in nearly a decade. In contrast, longer-term rates declined given several flights to quality triggered by signs of moderating global growth and numerous geopolitical issues. The yield on the 10-year Treasury began the period at 2.35% and fell to as low as 1.68% in late January 2015, before ending the period at 2.16%. Most non-Treasury securities produced modest gains but generated mixed results versus equal-duration Treasuries during the period.

The Fund's overweight to agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) detracted from results during the period as they underperformed the benchmark. Conversely the Fund's allocations to commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and investment grade corporate bonds were beneficial for performance. Duration and yield curve positioning did not meaningfully impact results over the reporting period.

We maintained the Fund's overall positioning over the period, with an overweight to non-Treasury securities and an underweight to Treasuries. However, we increased the Fund's Treasury exposure, while paring its allocations to investment grade corporate bonds and CMBS. We actively participated in the investment grade corporate bond new issuance market where we found what we believed were attractive valuations; we sold certain positions that we felt were fully valued and where we believed there were potential event risks, such as merger and acquisition activity and share buybacks.

At the end of the reporting period, the Fund's largest overweight positions, when compared to the benchmark, were in the CMBS, asset-backed securities and agency MBS sectors. We also had an overweight to investment grade corporate bonds. Our largest underweight was to Treasury securities.

Looking ahead, we believe that growth in the U.S. will continue to be driven by solid consumer spending, supported by stronger corporate balance sheets, lower energy costs and subdued inflation. In our view, the U.S. economy could expand in 2016. In terms of the Fed, we have long felt that the timing of its initial rate hike was not as important as the pace and magnitude of future rate hikes. While we believe a decision on rate hikes will be data dependent, we see this as being a very slow and moderate process, likely taking multiple years before normalization ultimately occurs. Against this backdrop, we anticipate maintaining our defensive duration positioning and overweight to the spread sectors.

Sincerely,

THOMAS SONTAG AND MICHAEL FOSTER

The performance data quoted represent past performance and do not indicate future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, please visit www.nb.com/performance.

The results shown in the table reflect the reinvestment of income dividends and other distributions, if any. The results do not reflect the effect of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares.

The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Returns would have been lower if Neuberger Berman Management LLC (Management) had not reimbursed certain expenses and/or waived a portion of the investment management fees during certain of the periods shown. Repayment by a class (of expenses previously reimbursed and/or fees previously waived by Management) will decrease the class's returns. Please see Note B in the Notes to Financial Statements for specific information regarding expense reimbursement and/or fee waiver arrangements.

For the period ended October 31, 2015, the 30-day SEC yields were -1.29%, -1.38%, -1.09%, -1.42% and -2.19% for Investor Class, Trust Class, Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively. Absent expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, the 30-day SEC yields would have been -1.95%, -2.26%, -1.67%, -1.99% and -2.76% for Investor Class, Trust Class, Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively. A negative 30-day SEC yield results when a fund's accrued expenses exceed its income for the relevant period. Please note, in such instances the 30-day SEC yield may not equal the Fund's actual rate of income earned and distributed by the Fund and, therefore, a per share distribution may still be paid to shareholders.

As stated in the Fund's most recent prospectus, the total annual operating expense ratios for fiscal year 2014 were 1.20%, 1.36%, 1.00%, 1.37% and 2.13% for Investor Class, Trust Class, Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively (before expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, if any). The expense ratios were 0.71%, 0.81%, 0.51%, 0.88% and 1.63% for Investor Class, Trust Class, Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively, after expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers. The expense ratios for the annual period ended October 31, 2015 can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report.

Returns shown with a sales charge reflect the deduction of the current maximum initial sales charge of 2.50% for Class A shares and the contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for Class C shares. The CDSC for Class C shares is 1%, which is reduced to 0% after 1 year. The performance of the Fund's share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses. Please see the prospectus for more information about sales charge structures, if any, and class expenses for your share class.

Short Duration High Income Fund Commentary (Unaudited)

Neuberger Berman Short Duration High Income Fund Institutional Class generated a -0.22% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2015 but outperformed its benchmark, the BofA Merrill Lynch 0-5 Year BB-B U.S. High Yield Constrained Index, which provided a -0.57% return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)

The overall fixed income market was volatile at times but posted a positive return over the 12-month reporting period. Short-term Treasury yields rose in anticipation of the first U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate hike in nearly a decade. In contrast, longer-term rates declined amid several flights to quality. Despite a strong finish, the high yield market generated weak results during the period. In particular, the energy and metals & mining sectors performed poorly given signs of moderating global growth. Within the benchmark, securities rated CCC (a relatively low rating) and securities rated BB (a higher rating) returned -1.83% and 2.33%, respectively.1

The sectors that were the most beneficial to the Fund's absolute performance during the reporting period were gaming, diversified financial services and telecommunication services. Detracting the most from absolute performance were the energy, support services and media/broadcasters sectors.

From a quality perspective, approximately 95% of the portfolio was held in cash or securities rated B and higher. If we had allocated a smaller portion of the portfolio to securities rated CCC, we would have likely further enhanced the Fund's absolute performance, as this portion of the market underperformed both B and BB securities.

Several adjustments were made to the portfolio during the reporting period. We increased the Fund's allocations to health care, theaters & entertainment, media/broadcasters, hotels and recreation & travel. We reduced the Fund's allocations to energy, gaming and automobile-related industries.

Looking ahead, we believe high yield valuations are attractive versus their default risk. Supporting this from a fundamental perspective would be continued GDP growth in the U.S., of perhaps around 2%.Within the high yield market, leverage remains moderate at 4.1 times debt to cash flow, while near-term bond/loan maturities have been significantly reduced through refinancing. That said, we believe volatility could remain elevated. Defaults in the U.S. high yield market are currently estimated at around 1.5% for 2015 and we believe they could move up in 2016. Another uncertainty is the Fed's transition to less accommodative monetary policy. While we anticipate several rate hikes in 2016, our view is the Fed will take a gradual approach and move slower than many previously expected. It's important to point out that interest rates have not historically been the primary driver of high yield performance. Rather, this has been largely a function of GDP growth and defaults, both of which we feel will be supportive in 2016. Furthermore, an environment of gradual interest rate hikes has historically been constructive for high yield bonds, as it usually indicates the economy is on solid footing.

Sincerely,

Strategic Income Fund Commentary (Unaudited)

Neuberger Berman Strategic Income Fund Institutional Class generated a -0.69% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2015 and underperformed its benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, which provided a 1.96% return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)

Despite periods of volatility, the overall fixed income market posted a positive return over the 12-month reporting period. Short-term Treasury yields moved higher as the market anticipated the first U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate hike in nearly a decade. In contrast, longer-term rates declined given several flights to quality triggered by signs of moderating global growth and numerous geopolitical issues. The yield on the 10-year Treasury began the period at 2.35% and fell to as low as 1.68% in late January 2015, before ending the period at 2.16%. Most non-Treasury securities produced positive returns but generated mixed results versus equal-duration Treasuries during the period.

The Fund's underperformance was partially driven by its allocations to high yield corporate bonds and emerging markets debt as their spreads widened during the period. Elsewhere, an allocation to Treasury Inflation-Indexed Bonds detracted from results as inflation remained muted during the period. The Fund's defensive duration position was also negative for results. Given our belief that rates would move somewhat higher, we maintained a duration that was shorter than the benchmark. This was not rewarded as intermediate- and longer-term rates declined during the period. The Fund also used financial futures contracts to assist in managing its duration positioning, which was a further drag on results.

On the upside, the Fund's allocation to certain non-Treasury securities was generally additive for results. Among the largest contributors to performance were the Fund's exposures to commercial mortgage-backed securities, non-agency mortgage-backed securities and senior floating rate loans. However, security selection of investment grade corporate bonds detracted from results. Elsewhere, our positioning among global developed market sovereigns was beneficial for returns.

Looking ahead, we believe that growth in the U.S. will continue to be driven by solid consumer spending, supported by stronger corporate balance sheets, lower energy costs and subdued inflation. In our view, the U.S. economy could expand in 2016. In terms of the Fed, we have long felt that the timing of its initial rate hike was not as important as the pace and magnitude of future rate hikes. While we believe a decision on rate hikes will be data dependent, we see this as being a very slow and moderate process, likely taking several years before normalization ultimately occurs. Against this backdrop, we anticipate maintaining our defensive duration positioning and overweight to the spread sectors.

Returns shown with a sales charge reflect the deduction of the current maximum initial sales charge of 4.25% for Class A shares and the contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for Class C shares. The CDSC for Class C shares is 1%, which is reduced to 0% after 1 year. The performance of the Fund's share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses. Please see the prospectus for more information about sales charge structures, if any, and class expenses for your share class.

Strategic Income Fund (Unaudited)

COMPARISON OF A $1,000,000 INVESTMENT

(000's omitted)

 

This graph shows the change in value of a hypothetical $1,000,000 investment in the Fund over the past 10 fiscal years, or since the Fund's inception if it has not operated for 10 years. The graph is based on the Institutional Class shares only; the performance of the Fund's share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses (see Performance Highlights chart on previous page). The result is compared with benchmarks, which include a broad-based market index and may include a more narrowly based index. Market indices have not been reduced to reflect any of the fees and costs of investing. The results shown in the graph reflect the reinvestment of income dividends and other distributions, if any. The results do not reflect the effect of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. Results represent past performance and do not indicate future results.

Unconstrained Bond Fund Commentary (Unaudited)

Neuberger Berman Unconstrained Bond Fund Institutional Class generated a -2.28% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2015 and underperformed its benchmark, the BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. 3-Month Treasury Bill Index, which provided a 0.02% return for the same period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)

Key drivers of the global bond market during the 12-month reporting period were inconsistent trends for growth and inflation, lower commodity prices and geopolitical issues. Collectively, these factors led to periods of increased market volatility, oscillating but ultimately declining government bond yields, and credit spread widening. Adding to uncertainty, global monetary policy showed signs of diverging. The European Central Bank, Bank of Japan and People's Bank of China pursued or escalated their quantitative easing measures in an attempt to stimulate growth and ward off deflation. In contrast, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) appeared closer to its first interest rate increase in nearly a decade. Against this backdrop, the U.S. dollar appreciated against other developed market currencies and emerging markets currencies during the period. Toward the end of the period, we saw a reversal in terms of investor sentiment as risk appetites reemerged, credit spreads narrowed and government yields moved higher.

With respect to Fund performance, the portfolio's allocation to emerging markets hard currency debt detracted from results. The global investment grade corporate bond allocation was also a headwind for performance as spreads widened. Performance resulting from duration positioning was mixed — the portfolio's short positioning in the U.S., Germany and Japan detracted from results but was offset by contributions from long duration positions in the U.K., New Zealand and emerging markets local currency debt. On the upside, the portfolio's active currency positioning contributed to performance. Additionally, an allocation to non-agency mortgage-backed securities contributed to results. During the reporting period, the portfolio's aggregate use of financial futures contracts, forward contracts, credit default swaps and options on bond futures detracted from performance.

Looking forward, we anticipate turbulence in the global markets will continue due to Chinese growth concerns and shifting Fed monetary policy. We believe that developed market resilience can weather weakness in the emerging markets as the effects of recent fiscal and monetary stimulus should begin to feed through to the global economy. In China, we believe benefits of recent stimulus measures are still working their way through the economy and should lead to stabilization. We anticipate that this, in turn, will support market sentiment.

We believe that solid U.S. growth will need to be accompanied by a stronger eurozone expansion for our global forecast to be realized. Relative to expectations, the eurozone is the region where we anticipate the biggest acceleration in growth in the coming quarters. If this scenario plays out, we think conditions are likely to be negative for government bonds. Although inflation expectations have remained subdued, we believe inflation will increase starting later this year as the headwinds from lower oil prices fade. In our opinion, this, in turn, should allow the Fed to pursue a less accommodative monetary policy. Finally, we think currency valuations have the potential to remain a key macroeconomic variable going forward.

Sincerely,

THANOS BARDAS, DAVID M. BROWN, ANDREW A. JOHNSON, THOMAS J. MARTHALER, JON JONSSON AND UGO LANCIONI

The performance data quoted represent past performance and do not indicate future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, please visit www.nb.com/performance.

The results shown in the table reflect the reinvestment of income dividends and other distributions, if any. The results do not reflect the effect of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares.

The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Returns would have been lower if Neuberger Berman Management LLC (Management) had not reimbursed certain expenses and/or waived a portion of the investment management fees during certain of the periods shown. Repayment by a class (of expenses previously reimbursed and/or fees previously waived by Management) will decrease the class's returns. Please see Note B in the Notes to Financial Statements for specific information regarding expense reimbursement and/or fee waiver arrangements.

For the period ended October 31, 2015, the 30-day SEC yields were 3.30%, 2.80%, 2.18% and 3.36% for Institutional Class, Class A, Class C and Class R6 shares, respectively. Absent expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, the 30-day SEC yields would have been 2.86%, 1.98% and 3.26% for Institutional Class, Class A and Class R6 shares, respectively. Absent repayment, the 30-day SEC yield would have been 2.18% for Class C shares.

As stated in the Fund's most recent prospectus, the total annual operating expense ratios for fiscal year 2014 were 1.86%, 2.25%, 3.18% and 1.81% for Institutional Class, Class A, Class C and Class R6 shares, respectively (before expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, if any). The expense ratios were 0.68%, 1.05%, 1.80% and 0.61% for Institutional Class, Class A, Class C and Class R6 shares, respectively, after expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers. The expense ratios for the annual period ended October 31, 2015 can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report.

Returns shown with a sales charge reflect the deduction of the current maximum initial sales charge of 4.25% for Class A shares and the contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for Class C shares. The CDSC for Class C shares is 1%, which is reduced to 0% after 1 year. The performance of the Fund's share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses. Please see the prospectus for more information about sales charge structures, if any, and class expenses for your share class.

Information About Your Fund's Expenses (Unaudited)

As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (if applicable), and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in U.S. dollars) of investing in a Fund and compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

This table is designed to provide information regarding costs related to your investments. The following examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six month period ended October 31, 2015 and held for the entire period. The table illustrates each Fund's costs in two ways:

Actual Expenses and Performance:

 

The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses in dollars, based on the Fund's actual performance during the period indicated. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section of the table under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During the Period" to estimate the expenses you paid over the period.

 
Hypothetical Example for
Comparison Purposes:
 

The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return at 5% per year before expenses. This return is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a Fund versus other funds. To do so, compare the expenses shown in this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

 

Please note that the expenses in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not include any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) (if applicable). Therefore, the information under the heading "Hypothetical (5% annual return before expenses)" is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Schedule of Investments

  In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820 "Fair Value Measurement" ("ASC 820"), all investments held by each of Neuberger Berman Core Bond Fund ("Core Bond"), Neuberger Berman Floating Rate Income Fund ("Floating Rate Income"), Neuberger Berman High Income Bond Fund ("High Income"), Neuberger Berman Municipal High Income Fund ("Municipal High Income"), Neuberger Berman Municipal Intermediate Bond Fund ("Municipal Intermediate Bond"), Neuberger Berman New York Municipal Income Fund ("New York Municipal Income"), Neuberger Berman Short Duration Bond Fund ("Short Duration"), Neuberger Berman Short Duration High Income Fund ("Short Duration High Income"), Neuberger Berman Strategic Income Fund ("Strategic Income") and Neuberger Berman Unconstrained Bond Fund ("Unconstrained Bond") (each individually a "Fund," and collectively, the "Funds") are carried at the value that Neuberger Berman Management LLC ("Management") believes a Fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment under current market conditions. Various inputs, including the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability in the market, are considered in valuing the Funds' investments, some of which are discussed below. Significant Management judgment may be necessary to value investments in accordance with ASC 820.

ASC 820 established a three-tier hierarchy of inputs to create a classification of value measurements for disclosure purposes. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below.

•  Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

•  Level 2 – other observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, amortized cost, etc.)

•  Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including a Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing an investment are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The value of the Funds' investments in debt securities is determined by Management primarily by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on readily available bid quotations or, if quotations are not available, by methods which include various considerations based on security type (generally Level 2 inputs). In addition to the consideration of yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type, indications as to values from dealers, and general market conditions, the following is a description of other Level 2 inputs and related valuation techniques used by independent pricing services to value certain types of debt securities held by the Funds:

Corporate Debt Securities. Inputs used to value corporate debt securities generally include relative credit information, observed market movements, sector news, spread to the U.S. Treasury market, and other market information, which may include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data, such as market research publications, when available ("Other Market Information").

Convertible Bonds. Inputs used to value convertible bonds generally include underlying stock data, dealer quotes, conversion premiums, listed bond and preferred stock prices and other market information, which may include benchmark curves, trade execution data, and sensitivity analysis, when available.

U.S. Treasury Securities. Inputs used to value U.S. Treasury securities generally include quotes from several inter-dealer brokers and Other Market Information.

U.S. Government Agency Securities. Inputs used to value U.S. Government Agency securities generally include obtaining benchmark quotes and Other Market Information.

See Notes to Financial Statements

127

Notes to Schedule of Investments (cont'd)

Asset-Backed Securities and Mortgage-Backed Securities. Inputs used to value asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities generally include models that consider a number of factors, which may include the following: prepayment speeds, cash flows, spread adjustments and Other Market Information.

High Yield Securities. Inputs used to value high yield securities generally include a number of observations of equity and credit default swap curves related to the issuer and Other Market Information.

Municipal Debt Securities. Inputs used to value municipal debt securities include current trades, bid-wanted lists (which informs the market that a holder is interested in selling a position and that offers will be considered), offerings, general information on market movement, direction, trends, and specific data on specialty issues.

Emerging Markets Debt, Sovereign Debt and Quasi-Sovereign Debt. Inputs used to value emerging markets debt, sovereign debt and quasi-sovereign debt generally include dealer quotes, bond market activity, discounted cash flow models, and other relevant information such as credit spreads, benchmark curves and Other Market Information.

The value of the Funds' investments in exchange traded funds, for which market quotations are readily available, is generally determined by Management by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on the latest sale price quoted on a principal exchange or market for that security (Level 1 inputs). Securities traded primarily on the NASDAQ Stock Market are normally valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP") provided by NASDAQ each business day. The NOCP is the most recently reported price as of 4:00:02 p.m., Eastern time, unless that price is outside the range of the "inside" bid and asked prices (i.e., the bid and asked prices that dealers quote to each other when trading for their own accounts); in that case, NASDAQ will adjust the price to equal the inside bid or asked price, whichever is closer. Because of delays in reporting trades, the NOCP may not be based on the price of the last trade to occur before the market closes. If there is no sale of a security on a particular day, the independent pricing services may value the security based on market quotations.

The value of forward foreign currency contracts ("forward contracts") is determined by Management by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on actual traded currency rates on independent pricing services' networks, along with other traded and quoted currency rates provided to the pricing services by leading market participants (Level 2 inputs).

The value of bank loan obligations is determined by Management primarily by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on broker quotes (generally Level 2 or Level 3 inputs depending on the number of quotes available).

The value of financial futures contracts ("financial futures") is determined by Management by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services at the settlement price at the market close (Level 1 inputs).

The value of credit default swap contracts ("credit default swaps") is determined by Management by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services using a model that considers a number of factors, which may include default probabilities, credit curves, recovery rates and cash flows (Level 2 inputs).

Management has developed a process to periodically review information provided by independent pricing services for all types of securities.

Investments in non-exchange traded investment companies are valued using the respective fund's daily calculated net asset value per share (Level 2 inputs).

Notes to Schedule of Investments (cont'd)

If a valuation is not available from an independent pricing service, or if Management has reason to believe that the valuation received does not represent the amount a Fund might reasonably expect to receive on a current sale in an orderly transaction, Management seeks to obtain quotations from brokers or dealers (generally considered Level 2 or Level 3 inputs depending on the number of quotes available). If such quotations are not readily available, the security is valued using methods the Neuberger Berman Income Funds' Board of Trustees (the "Board") has approved in the good-faith belief that the resulting valuation will reflect the fair value of the security. Numerous factors may be considered when determining the fair value of a security based on Level 2 or Level 3 inputs, including available analyst, media or other reports, trading in financial futures or American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") and whether the issuer of the security being fair valued has other securities outstanding.

The value of the Funds' investments in foreign securities is generally determined using the same valuation methods and inputs as other Fund investments, as discussed above. Foreign security prices expressed in local currency values are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates as of the end of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on business days, usually 4:00 p.m., Eastern time. The Board has approved the use of Interactive Data Pricing and Reference Data, Inc. ("Interactive") to evaluate the prices of foreign income securities as of the close of the NYSE. Interactive utilizes benchmark spread and yield curves and evaluates available market activity from the local close to the close of the NYSE (Level 2 inputs) to assist in determining prices for certain foreign income securities. In the absence of precise information about the market values of these foreign securities as of the close of the NYSE, the Board has determined on the basis of available data that prices evaluated in this way are likely to be closer to the prices a Fund could realize on a current sale than are the prices of those securities established at the close of the foreign markets in which the securities primarily trade.

Fair value prices are necessarily estimates, and there is no assurance that such a price will be at or close to the price at which the security is next quoted or next trades.

The following is a summary, categorized by Level, of inputs used to value the Funds' investments as of October 31, 2015:

Securities categorized as Level 3 are valued based on a single quotation obtained from a dealer. The Funds do not have access to unobservable inputs and therefore cannot disclose such inputs used in formulating such quotation.

As of the year ended October 31, 2015, certain securities were transferred from one level (as of October 31, 2014) to another. Based on beginning of period market values as of November 1, 2014, approximately $11,029,000, $201,000, and $6,481,000 were transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 for Floating Rate Income, Short Duration High Income and Strategic Income, respectively. Also, approximately $5,983,000 and $2,232,000 were transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 for Floating Rate Income and Strategic Income, respectively. Transfers of bank loans and corporate debt securities into or out of Level 3 were primarily due to the pricing methodology being based on a single broker quote (Level 3) or a single observable input (Level 3) by the independent pricing service. As of the year ended October 31, 2015, the Funds had no transfers between Levels 1 and 2.

Notes to Financial Statements Income Funds

Note A—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

1  General: Neuberger Berman Income Funds (the "Trust") is a Delaware statutory trust organized pursuant to an Amended and Restated Trust Instrument dated March 27, 2014. The Trust is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and its shares are registered under the 1933 Act. Each Fund is a separate operating series of the Trust. Each Fund (except New York Municipal Income and Unconstrained Bond) is diversified. Four Funds offer Investor Class shares, two offer Trust Class shares, ten offer Institutional Class shares, nine offer Class A shares, nine offer Class C shares, one offers Class R3 shares and three offer Class R6 shares. New York Municipal Income had no operations until March 11, 2013, other than matters relating to its organization and registration of its shares as a series of the Trust under the 1933 Act. New York Municipal Income was the successor to The Empire Builder Tax Free Bond Fund (the "Predecessor Fund") pursuant to a reorganization that took place prior to March 11, 2013. The financial information prior to March 11, 2013 for the Institutional Class of New York Municipal Income is that of the Builder Class of the Predecessor Fund. Unconstrained Bond had no operations until February 13, 2014, other than matters relating to its organization and registration of its shares under the 1933 Act. Municipal High Income had no operations until June 22, 2015, other than matters relating to its organization and registration of its shares under the 1933 Act. The Board may establish additional series or classes of shares without the approval of shareholders.

A zero balance, if any, reflects an actual amount rounding to less than $1,000.

The assets of each Fund belong only to that Fund, and the liabilities of each Fund are borne solely by that Fund and no other.

Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 "Financial Services — Investment Companies."

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires Management to make estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2  Portfolio valuation: Investment securities are valued as indicated in the notes following the Funds' Schedule of Investments.

3  Foreign currency translation: Core Bond, Floating Rate Income, High Income, Short Duration, Short Duration High Income, Strategic Income and Unconstrained Bond may invest in foreign securities denominated in foreign currencies. The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate as of the end of regular trading on the NYSE on business days, usually 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, to determine the value of investments, other assets and liabilities. Purchase and sale prices of securities, and income and expenses, are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective dates of such transactions. Net unrealized foreign currency gain (loss), if any, arises from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, as a result of changes in exchange rates and is stated separately in the Statements of Operations.

4  Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign dividends, as soon as the Fund becomes aware of the dividends. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income, including accretion of discount (adjusted for original issue discount, where applicable) and amortization of premium, where applicable, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions (for each Fund) and foreign currency transactions (for Core Bond, Floating Rate Income, High Income, Short Duration, Short Duration High

154

Income, Strategic Income and Unconstrained Bond), if any, are recorded on the basis of identified cost and stated separately in the Statements of Operations. Included in net realized gain (loss) on investments are proceeds from the settlements of class action litigation in which Strategic Income participated as a class member. The amounts of such proceeds for the year ended October 31, 2015 were $862 for Strategic Income.

5  Income tax information: Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of each Fund, except Municipal High Income, to continue to, and the intention of Municipal High Income to, qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company by complying with the requirements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains to its shareholders. To the extent a Fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains to shareholders, no federal income or excise tax provision is required.

The Funds have adopted the provisions of ASC 740 "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740"). ASC 740 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax positions as an income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. The Funds are subject to examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities for returns filed for the tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not yet expired. As of October 31, 2015, the Funds did not have any unrecognized tax positions.

Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on various investment securities held by each Fund, timing differences and differing characterization of distributions made by each Fund. The Funds may also utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of their shares as a part of the dividends-paid deduction for income tax purposes.

As determined on October 31, 2015, permanent differences resulting primarily from different book and tax accounting were reclassified at year end. Such differences may be attributed to the tax treatment of one or more of the following: amortization of bond premium; gains and losses from swaps, foreign currencies and forwards; affiliated capital gain reclass; non-deductible stock issuance costs; nontaxable distributions paid by the fund; expiration of capital loss carryforwards; return of capital distributions; paydown gains and losses; defaulted bond income adjustments and equalization. These reclassifications had no effect on net income, net asset value ("NAV") or NAV per share of each Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2015, the Funds recorded the following permanent reclassifications:

The differences between book basis and tax basis distributable earnings are primarily due to: losses disallowed and recognized on wash sales and straddles; end of year distributions payable; defaulted bond income adjustments; delayed settlement compensation on bank loans; mark-to-market adjustments on swaps, futures and forwards; adjustments related to TIPs; amortization of bond premium; and amortization of organization costs.

To the extent each Fund's net realized capital gains, if any, can be offset by capital loss carryforwards, it is the policy of each Fund not to distribute such gains. The Regulated Investment Company ("RIC") Modernization Act of 2010 (the "Act") became effective for the Funds on November 1, 2011 (March 1, 2011 for New York Municipal Income (which includes the Predecessor Fund). The Act modernizes several of the federal income and excise tax provisions related to RICs. Among the changes made are changes to the capital loss carryforward rules allowing for RICs to carry forward capital losses indefinitely and to retain the character of capital loss carryforwards as short-term or long-term ("Post-Enactment"). Rules in effect previously limited the carryforward period to eight years and all carryforwards were considered short-term in character ("Pre-Enactment"). As determined at October 31, 2015, the following Funds had unused capital loss carryforwards available for federal income tax purposes to offset net realized capital gains, if any, as follows:

Post-Enactment capital loss carryforwards must be fully used before Pre-Enactment capital loss carryforwards; therefore, under certain circumstances, Pre-Enactment capital loss carryforwards available as of the report date may expire unused.

During the year ended October 31, 2015, Short Duration had capital loss carryforwards expire of $643,625.

6  Distributions to shareholders: Each Fund earns income, net of expenses, daily on its investments. Ordinarily, distributions from net investment income are declared on each business day and paid monthly, and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are generally distributed once a year (usually in December). Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-date.

157

7  Organization expenses: Costs incurred by Municipal High Income in connection with its organization, which amounted to $157,308, and are reflected in Organization expense in the Statements of Operations, have been expensed as incurred.

8  Expense allocation: Certain expenses are applicable to multiple funds within the complex of related investment companies. Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Expenses of the Trust that are not directly attributable to a particular series of the Trust (e.g., a Fund) are allocated among the series of the Trust, on the basis of relative net assets, except where a more appropriate allocation of expenses to each of the series can otherwise be made fairly. Expenses borne by the complex of related investment companies, which includes open-end and closed-end investment companies for which Management serves as investment manager, that are not directly attributable to a particular investment company in the complex (e.g., the Trust) or series thereof are allocated among the investment companies or series thereof in the complex on the basis of relative net assets, except where a more appropriate allocation of expenses to each of the investment companies or series thereof in the complex can otherwise be made fairly. Each Fund's expenses (other than those specific to each class) are allocated proportionally each day among the classes based upon the relative net assets of each class.

9  Dollar rolls: Core Bond, Floating Rate Income, High Income, Short Duration, Short Duration High Income, Strategic Income and Unconstrained Bond may enter into dollar roll transactions with respect to mortgage-backed securities. In a dollar roll transaction, a Fund sells securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously agrees to repurchase substantially similar (i.e., same type and coupon) securities on a specified future date from the same party. During the period before this repurchase, a Fund forgoes principal and interest payments on the securities. A Fund is compensated by the difference between the current sales price and the forward price for the future purchase (often referred to as the "drop"), as well as by the interest earned on the cash proceeds of the initial sale. Dollar rolls may increase fluctuations in a Fund's NAV and may be viewed as a form of leverage. There is a risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to complete the transaction as scheduled, which may result in losses to a Fund.

10  When-issued/delayed delivery securities: Each Fund may purchase securities with delivery or payment to occur at a later date beyond the normal settlement period. At the time a Fund enters into a commitment to purchase a security, the transaction is recorded and the value of the security is reflected in the NAV. The price of such security and the date when the security will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The value of the security may vary with market fluctuations. No interest accrues to a Fund until payment takes place. At the time a Fund enters into this type of transaction it is required to segregate cash or other liquid assets at least equal to the amount of the commitment. When-issued and delayed delivery transactions can have a leverage-like effect on a Fund, which can increase fluctuations in the Fund's share price. Certain risks may arise upon entering into when-issued or delayed delivery securities from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors. Additionally, losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities.

11  Foreign taxes: Foreign taxes withheld, if any, represent amounts withheld by foreign tax authorities, net of refunds recoverable.

Foreign capital gains on certain foreign securities may be subject to foreign taxes, which are accrued as applicable. At October 31, 2015, there were no outstanding balances of accrued capital gains taxes for any Fund.

12  Investments in foreign securities: Investing in foreign securities may involve certain sovereign and other risks, in addition to the credit and market risks normally associated with domestic securities. These additional risks include the possibility of adverse political and economic developments (including political instability, nationalization, expropriation, or confiscatory taxation) and the potentially adverse effects of unavailability of public information regarding issuers, less governmental supervision and regulation of financial markets, reduced liquidity of certain financial markets, and the lack of uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards or the

158

application of standards that are different or less stringent than those applied in the United States. Foreign securities also may experience greater price volatility, higher rates of inflation, and delays in settlement.

13  Derivative instruments: During the year ended October 31, 2015, certain of the Funds' use of derivatives, as described below, was limited to centrally cleared credit default swaps, financial futures, forward contracts and options on financial futures. The Funds have adopted the provisions of ASC 815 "Derivatives and Hedging" ("ASC 815"). The disclosure requirements of ASC 815 distinguish between derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting and those that do not. Because investment companies value their derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in fair value through the Statements of Operations, they do not qualify for hedge accounting. Accordingly, even though a Fund's investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are considered non-hedge transactions for purposes of this disclosure.

Credit default swap contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2015, Unconstrained Bond used credit default swaps for economic hedging purposes, to manage or adjust the risk profile and investment exposure of the Fund or individual positions, to obtain or reduce exposure to certain markets, to establish net short or long positions for markets or securities and to enhance returns. When a Fund is the buyer of a credit default swap contract, it is entitled to receive the par (or other agreed-upon) value of a referenced debt obligation (or basket of debt obligations) from the counterparty if a credit event occurs. In return, the Fund pays the counterparty a periodic stream of payments over the term of the contract provided that no credit event has occurred. If no credit event occurs, the Fund would have spent the stream of payments and received no proceeds from the contract. When a Fund is the seller of a credit default swap contract, it receives the stream of payments, but is obligated to pay to the buyer of the protection an amount up to the notional amount of the swap and in certain instances take delivery of securities of the reference entity upon the occurrence of a credit event, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement. Credit events are contract specific but may include bankruptcy, failure to pay, restructuring, obligation acceleration and repudiation/moratorium. If a Fund is a seller of protection and a credit event occurs, the maximum potential amount of future payments that the Fund could be required to make (or the risk of loss) would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement. This potential amount would be partially offset by any recovery value of the respective referenced obligation, or net amount received from the settlement of a buy protection credit default swap agreement entered into by the Fund for the same referenced obligation. As the seller, the Fund may add economic leverage to its portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund is subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. The net periodic payments paid or received on the swap contract are accrued daily as a component of unrealized appreciation (depreciation) and are recorded as realized gain upon receipt or realized loss upon payment. The Fund also records an increase or decrease to unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in an amount equal to the daily valuation of the swap. For centrally cleared swaps, the daily change in valuation is recorded as a receivable or payable for variation margin and settled in cash with the centrally clearing party daily. For financial reporting purposes, unamortized upfront payments, if any, are netted with unrealized appreciation or depreciation on swap contracts to determine the market value of swaps.

Certain clearinghouses currently offer clearing for limited types of derivative transactions, including certain credit default swaps. In a cleared derivative transaction, a Fund typically enters into the transaction with a financial institution counterparty that is then cleared through a central clearinghouse. Upon acceptance of a swap by a central clearing house, the original swap is extinguished and replaced with a swap with the clearinghouse, thereby reducing or eliminating the Fund's exposure to the credit risk of the original counterparty. A Fund typically will be required to post specified levels of both initial and variation margin with the clearinghouse or at the instruction of the clearinghouse; the margin required by a clearinghouse may be greater than the margin the Fund would be required to post in an uncleared derivative transaction.

(1) For the year ended October 31, 2015, the average notional value of credit default swaps for Unconstrained Bond was $12,729,568.

At October 31, 2015, Unconstrained Bond had deposited $2,275,168 in a segregated account to cover margin requirements for centrally cleared credit default swaps.

Financial futures contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2015, Floating Rate Income, High Income, Municipal High Income, Municipal Intermediate Bond, New York Municipal Income, Short Duration and Short Duration High Income did not enter into any financial futures. During the year ended October 31, 2015, Core Bond used financial futures for economic hedging purposes, including as a maturity or duration management device. During the year ended October 31, 2015, Strategic Income used financial futures for economic hedging purposes, including as a maturity or duration management device and to manage currency exposure. During the year ended October 31, 2015, Unconstrained Bond used financial futures to manage or adjust the risk profile and investment exposure of the Fund or individual positions, to obtain or reduce exposure to certain markets, to establish net short or long positions for markets, currencies or securities and to enhance returns.

At the time a Fund enters into a financial futures contract, it is required to deposit with the futures commission merchant a specified amount of cash or liquid securities, known as "initial margin," which is a percentage of the value of the financial futures contract being traded that is set by the exchange upon which the futures contract is traded. Each day, the futures contract is valued at the official settlement price of the board of trade or U.S. commodity exchange on which such futures contract is traded. Subsequent payments, known as "variation

160

margin," to and from the broker are made on a daily basis, or as needed, as the market price of the financial futures contract fluctuates. Daily variation margin adjustments, arising from this "mark to market," are recorded by a Fund as unrealized gains or losses.

Although some financial futures by their terms call for actual delivery or acquisition of the underlying securities or currency, in most cases the contracts are closed out prior to delivery by offsetting purchases or sales of matching financial futures. When the contracts are closed, a Fund recognizes a gain or loss. Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility there may be an illiquid market, possibly at a time of rapidly declining prices, and/or a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. Futures executed on regulated futures exchanges have minimal counterparty risk to a Fund because the exchange's clearinghouse assumes the position of the counterparty in each transaction. Thus, a Fund is exposed to risk only in connection with the clearinghouse and not in connection with the original counterparty to the transaction.

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the futures transactions undertaken by a Fund may cause that Fund to recognize gains or losses from marking contracts to market even though its positions have not been sold or terminated, may affect the character of the gains or losses recognized as long-term or short-term, and may affect the timing of some capital gains and losses realized by the Fund. Also, a Fund's losses on transactions involving futures contracts may be deferred rather than being taken into account currently in calculating such Fund's taxable income.

Forward foreign currency contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2015, Unconstrained Bond used forward contracts to obtain or reduce exposure to certain markets and to enhance returns.

A forward contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specific currency for another at a set price on a future date, and is individually negotiated and privately traded by currency traders and their customers in the interbank market. The market value of a forward contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange rates. Forward contracts are marked to market daily, and the change in value is recorded by a Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. At the consummation of a forward contract to purchase or sell currency, a Fund may either exchange the currencies specified at the maturity of the forward contract or enter into a closing transaction involving the purchase or sale of an offsetting forward contract. Closing transactions with respect to forward contracts are usually performed with the counterparty to the original forward contract. The gain or loss arising from the difference between the U.S. dollar cost of the original contract and the value of the foreign currency in U.S. dollars upon closing a contract is included in "Net realized gain (loss) from forward foreign currency contracts" in the Statements of Operations. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in a Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, a Fund could be exposed to risk if the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of the contracts or if the value of the currency changes unfavorably to the U.S. dollar.

At October 31, 2015, open forward contracts for Unconstrained Bond were as follows:

For the year ended October 31, 2015, Unconstrained Bond's investments in forward contracts had an average notional value of $116,896,378.

Options on exchange-traded financial futures contracts: A Fund may write or purchase options on exchange-traded financial futures contracts ("futures option") to hedge an existing position or future investment, for speculative purposes or to manage exposure to market movements. A futures option is an option contract in which the underlying instrument is a specific financial futures contract.

During the year ended October 31, 2015, Unconstrained Bond used futures options to manage or adjust the risk profile and investment exposure of the Fund or individual positions, to obtain or reduce exposure to certain markets, to establish net short or long positions for markets or securities and to adjust the duration of the Fund's portfolio.

At October 31, 2015, there were no open positions in futures options for Unconstrained Bond.

For the year ended October 31, 2015, Unconstrained Bond had an average market value of $28,020 in futures options.

At October 31, 2015, the Funds had the following derivatives (which did not qualify as hedging instruments under ASC 815), grouped by primary risk exposure:

Management has concluded that the Funds, except Core Bond, Strategic Income and Unconstrained Bond, did not hold any derivative instruments during the year ended October 31, 2015 that require additional disclosures pursuant to ASC 815.

The Funds adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update 2011-11 Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities ("ASU 2011-11"). ASU 2011-11 is intended to enhance disclosure requirements on the offsetting of financial assets and liabilities. Pursuant to ASU 2011-11, an entity is required to disclose both gross and net information for assets and liabilities related to derivatives, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities lending and securities borrowing transactions that are eligible for offset or subject to an enforceable master netting or similar agreement.

14  Indemnifications: Like many other companies, the Trust's organizational documents provide that its officers ("Officers") and trustees ("Trustees") are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, both in some of its principal service contracts and in the normal course of its business, the Trust enters into contracts that provide indemnifications to other parties for certain types of losses or liabilities. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this could involve future claims against the Trust.

15  Transactions with other funds managed by Neuberger Berman Management LLC: Neuberger Berman Income Funds and Management have obtained from the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") an exemptive order that permits the Funds to invest in both affiliated and unaffiliated investment companies, including exchange-traded funds, in excess of the limits in Section 12(d)(1)(A) of the 1940 Act, as amended, subject to the terms and conditions of such order. Through October 31, 2015, Strategic Income invested in Neuberger Berman Emerging Markets Debt Fund (an "Underlying Fund") (see Note F).

For Strategic Income's investment in the Underlying Fund, Management waived a portion of its management fee equal to the management fee it received from the Underlying Fund on those assets (the "Arrangement"). For the year ended October 31, 2015, management fees waived under this Arrangement are reflected in the Statements of Operations under the caption "Investment management fees waived." For the year ended October 31, 2015, income earned under this Arrangement on Strategic Income's investments is reflected in the Statements of Operations under the caption "Dividend income-affiliated issuers." For the year ended October 31, 2015, management fees waived and income earned under this Arrangement on Strategic Income's investments in the Underlying Fund were as follows:

Note B—Investment Management Fees, Administration Fees, Distribution Arrangements, and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

Each Fund retains Management as its investment manager under a Management Agreement. For such investment management services, Core Bond, Municipal Intermediate Bond, New York Municipal Income and Short Duration each pays Management a fee at the annual rate of 0.25% of the first $500 million of that Fund's average daily net assets, 0.225% of the next $500 million, 0.20% of the next $500 million, 0.175% of the next $500 million, and 0.15% of average daily net assets in excess of $2 billion. Accordingly, for the period ended October 31, 2015, the investment management fee pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement was equivalent to an annual effective rate of 0.25%, 0.25%, 0.25% and 0.25% of Core Bond's, Municipal Intermediate Bond's, New York Municipal Income's and Short Duration's average daily net assets, respectively. For such investment management services, Municipal High Income pays Management a fee at the annual rate of 0.40% of the first $500 million of the Fund's average daily net assets, 0.375% of the next $500 million, 0.35% of the next $500 million, 0.325% of the next $500 million, and 0.30% of average daily net assets in excess of $2 billion. Accordingly, for the period ended October 31, 2015, the investment management fee pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement was equivalent to an annual effective rate of 0.40% of Municipal High Income's average daily net assets. For such investment management services, Floating Rate Income, High Income, Short Duration High Income, Strategic Income and Unconstrained Bond each pays Management a fee at the annual rate of 0.50%, 0.48%, 0.45%, 0.55% (0.51% after management fee waiver (see Note A) and 0.45% (0.60% prior to February 28, 2015), respectively, of its average daily net assets. Accordingly, for the period ended October 31, 2015, the investment management fee pursuant to the Investment Management Agreement was equivalent to an annual effective rate of 0.47% of Unconstrained Bond's average daily net assets.

Each Fund retains Management as its administrator under an Administration Agreement. Each Fund pays Management an administration fee at the annual rate of 0.06% of its average daily net assets under this agreement. In addition, Investor Class, Class A, Class C and Class R3 of each Fund that offers those classes pays Management an administration fee at the annual rate of 0.21% of its average daily net assets, Trust Class of each of Short Duration and Strategic Income pays Management an administration fee at the annual rate of 0.44% and 0.34%, respectively, of its average daily net assets, Institutional Class of each Fund pays Management an administration fee at the annual rate of 0.09% of its average daily net assets, and Class R6 of each of High Income, Strategic Income and Unconstrained Bond pays Management an administrative fee at the annual rate of 0.02% of its average daily net assets, under this agreement. Additionally, Management retains State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") as its sub-administrator under a Sub-Administration Agreement. Management pays State Street a fee for all services received under the agreement.

181

Management has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse certain expenses of the Investor Class, Trust Class, Institutional Class, Class A, Class C, Class R3 and Class R6 of each Fund that offers those classes so that the total annual operating expenses of those classes do not exceed the expense limitations as detailed in the following table. These undertakings apply to a Fund's direct expenses and exclude interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, extraordinary expenses, and dividend and interest expenses on short sales, if any; consequently, net expenses may exceed the contractual expense limitations. Each Fund has agreed that each of its respective classes will repay Management for fees and expenses waived or reimbursed for that class provided that repayment does not cause that class's annual operating expenses to exceed its contractual expense limitation in place at the time the fees were waived or reimbursed, or the expense limitation in place at the time the Fund repays Management, whichever is lower. Any such repayment must be made within three years after the year in which Management incurred the expense.

During the year ended October 31, 2015, there was no repayment to Management under these agreements.

At October 31, 2015, contingent liabilities to Management under the agreements were as follows:

Neuberger Berman Fixed Income LLC ("NBFI"), as the sub-adviser to High Income, Municipal Intermediate Bond, Short Duration and Strategic Income, is retained by Management to furnish it with investment recommendations and research information without added cost to each Fund it sub-advises. NBFI, as the

183

sub-adviser to Core Bond, Floating Rate Income, Municipal High Income, New York Municipal Income and Short Duration High Income, is retained by Management to choose each fund's investments and handle its day-to-day business and receives a monthly fee paid by Management. NBFI and Neuberger Berman Europe Limited ("NBEL"), as the sub-advisers to Unconstrained Bond, are retained by Management to choose the Fund's investments and handle its day-to-day business for the portion of the Fund's assets allocated to each by Management, and each receives a monthly fee paid by Management. As investment manager, Management is responsible for overseeing the investment activities of NBFI and NBEL. Several individuals who are Officers and/or Trustees of the Trust are also employees of NBFI, NBEL and/or Management.

Each Fund also has a distribution agreement with Management with respect to each class of shares. Management acts as agent in arranging for the sale of class shares without sales commission or other compensation, except as described below for Class A and Class C shares, and bears advertising and promotion expenses.

However, Management receives fees from Core Bond's Investor Class, Strategic Income's Trust Class, High Income's Class R3, and each Fund's Class A and Class C under their distribution plans (each a "Plan", collectively, the "Plans") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Plans provide that, as compensation for administrative and other services provided to these classes, Management's activities and expenses related to the sale and distribution of these classes, and ongoing services provided to investors in these classes, Management receives from each of these respective classes a fee at the annual rate of 0.25% of Core Bond Investor Class', Core Bond Class A's, Floating Rate Income Class A's, High Income Class A's, Municipal High Income Class A's, Municipal Intermediate Bond Class A's, Short Duration Class A's, Short Duration High Income Class A's, Strategic Income Class A's and Unconstrained Bond Class A's average daily net assets; 0.10% of Strategic Income Trust Class' average daily net assets; 0.50% of High Income Class R3's average daily net assets; and 1.00% of Core Bond Class C's, Floating Rate Income Class C's, High Income Class C's, Municipal High Income Class C's, Municipal Intermediate Bond Class C's, Short Duration Class C's, Short Duration High Income Class C's, Strategic Income Class C's and Unconstrained Bond Class C's average daily net assets. Management receives this amount to provide distribution and shareholder servicing for these classes and pays a portion of it to institutions that provide such services. Those institutions may use the payments for, among other purposes, compensating employees engaged in sales and/or shareholder servicing. The amount of fees paid by each class during any year may be more or less than the cost of distribution and other services provided to that class. FINRA rules limit the amount of annual distribution fees that may be paid by a mutual fund and impose a ceiling on the cumulative distribution fees paid. The Trust's Plans comply with those rules.

Class A shares of each Fund (except Short Duration) are generally sold with an initial sales charge of up to 4.25%. Class A shares of Short Duration are generally sold with an initial sales charge of up to 2.50% (4.25% prior to June 15, 2011). Class A shares of each Fund are generally sold with no contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC"), except that a CDSC of 1.00% applies to certain redemptions made within 18 months following purchases of $1 million or more without an initial sales charge. Class C shares of each Fund are sold with no initial sales charge and a 1.00% CDSC if shares are sold within one year after purchase.

For the year ended October 31, 2015, Management, acting as underwriter and broker-dealer, received net initial sales charges from the purchase of Class A shares and CDSCs from the redemption of Class A and Class C shares as follows:

z  A zero balance, if any, reflects an actual amount rounding to less than 1,000.

Note E—Lines of Credit:

At October 31, 2015, each Fund was a participant in a syndicated committed, unsecured $700,000,000 line of credit (the "Credit Facility"), to be used only for temporary or emergency purposes. Series of other investment companies managed by Management also participate in this line of credit on substantially the same terms except that some do not have access to the full amount of the Credit Facility. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, each Fund has agreed to pay its share of the annual commitment fee, based on the ratio of its individual net assets to the net assets of all participants at the time the fee is due and payable and the level of its access to the Credit Facility, and interest charged on any borrowing made by such Fund and other costs incurred by such Fund. Because several mutual funds participate in the Credit Facility, there is no assurance that an individual Fund will have access to all

187

or any part of the $700,000,000 at any particular time. There were no loans outstanding under the Credit Facility at October 31, 2015. During the period from January 9, 2015 (the commencement date of the Credit Facility) through October 31, 2015, none of the Funds utilized this line of credit. The Credit Facility replaced the State Street lines of credit referred to below.

During the reporting period, from November 1, 2014 through January 9, 2015, each Fund other than Neuberger Berman Municipal High Income Fund, which was not yet operational, was a participant in a committed, unsecured $300,000,000 line of credit with State Street and an uncommitted, unsecured $100,000,000 line of credit with State Street, both to be used only for temporary or emergency purposes. During the period ended October 31, 2015, none of the Funds utilized either line of credit with State Street.

Other: At October 31, 2015, Neuberger Berman Flexible Select Fund, which is also managed by Management, held 3.04% and 1.55% of the outstanding shares of Core Bond and Unconstrained Bond, respectively. At October 31, 2015, Neuberger Berman Inflation Managed Fund (formerly, Neuberger Berman Inflation Navigator Fund) and Neuberger Berman Multi-Asset Income Fund, which are also managed by Management, held 0.18 % and 0.56 % of the outstanding shares of Floating Rate Income, respectively. At October 31, 2015, Neuberger Berman Inflation Managed Fund (formerly, Neuberger Berman Inflation Navigator Fund), Neuberger Berman Global Allocation Fund and Neuberger Berman Multi-Asset Income Fund, which are also managed by Management, held 0.05%, 0.04% and 0.07% of the outstanding shares of High Income, respectively.

In addition, at October 31, 2015, affiliated investors owned 19.08%, 0.01% and 0.05% of the outstanding shares of Municipal High Income, Short Duration High Income and Unconstrained Bond, respectively.

Note G—Legal Matters:

On June 1, 2015, Neuberger Berman High Income Bond Fund was served with a lawsuit filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, entitled Motors Liquidation Company Avoidance Action Trust vs. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. et al. and numbered Adv. No. 09-00504 (REG). In addition to the fund, the lawsuit also names over five hundred other institutional investors as defendants. The lawsuit does not allege any misconduct by the defendants, but seeks to recover payments made by General Motors Corporation (n/k/a Motors Liquidation Company) and its affiliates (collectively, "GM") to the defendants shortly prior to and after GM's Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing on June 1, 2009 (the "Petition Date"). The complaint alleges that GM made the payments to the defendants under a certain term loan agreement, dated as of November 29, 2006, as

188

amended by that first amendment dated as of March 4, 2009 (the "Term Loan Agreement"); that the payments occurred both during the ninety (90) days prior to the Petition Date (the "Preference Period") and after the Petition Date when all amounts due under the Term Loan Agreement were paid in full in connection with GM's postpetition financing (the "Postpetition Transfers"); that the lien purportedly securing the Term Loan Agreement was not perfected as of the Petition Date; and that the lenders under the Term Loan Agreement should therefore have been treated as unsecured creditors rather than paid in full as secured creditors. The plaintiff seeks avoidance of the lien securing the Term Loan Agreement as unperfected under Section 544(a) of the Bankruptcy Code; disgorgement of all amounts paid to the defendants during the Preference Period (plus interest) under Section 547 of the Bankruptcy Code; disgorgement of all amounts paid to the defendants as Postpetition Transfers (plus interest) under Section 549 of the Bankruptcy Code; and disallowance of any bankruptcy claims of the defendants against GM until they repay all such amounts under Section 502(d) of the Bankruptcy Code. Neuberger Berman High Income Bond Fund cannot predict the outcome of the lawsuit. If the lawsuit were to be decided or settled in a manner adverse to the fund, the payment of such judgment or settlement could have an adverse effect on the fund's net asset value. However, no liability for litigation relating to this matter has been accrued in the financial statements as neither the likelihood nor the amount of any liability can reasonably be determined at this time.

Note H—Recent Accounting Pronouncement:

In June 2014, FASB issued ASU 2014-11 Transfers & Servicing (Topic 860): Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures to improve the financial reporting of repurchase agreements and other similar transactions. The guidance includes expanded disclosure requirements for entities that enter into repurchase agreements or securities lending transactions. The guidance is effective for financial statements with fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. At this time, Management is evaluating the impact, if any, of this guidance on the Funds' financial statement disclosures. ASU 2014-11 is effective for Municipal High Income as of October 31, 2015; however, no additional disclosure was necessary.

Notes to Financial Highlights Income Funds

††  Total return based on per share NAV reflects the effects of changes in NAV on the performance of each Fund during each fiscal period. Returns assume income dividends and other distributions, if any, were reinvested, but do not reflect the effect of sales charges. Results represent past performance and do not indicate future results. Current returns may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Investment returns and principal may fluctuate and shares when redeemed may be worth more or less than original cost. Total return would have been lower if Management had not reimbursed and/or waived certain expenses. Total return would have been higher if Management had not recouped previously reimbursed and/or waived expenses.

d  The class action proceeds listed in Note A-4 of the Notes to Financial Statements had no impact on the Fund's total returns for the year ended October 31, 2015.

#  Represents the annualized ratios of net expenses to average daily net assets if Management had not reimbursed certain expenses and/or waived a portion of the investment management fee.

  Prior to January 1, 2013, each Fund had an expense offset arrangement in connection with its custodian contract. The impact of expense reductions related to expense offset arrangements, if any, was less than 0.01%.

§  After repayment of expenses previously reimbursed and/or fees previously waived by Management, as applicable. Had the Fund not made such repayments, the annualized ratios of net expenses to average daily net assets would have been:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of:
Neuberger Berman High Income Bond Fund
Neuberger Berman Municipal Intermediate Bond Fund
Neuberger Berman Short Duration Bond Fund
Neuberger Berman Strategic Income Fund
Neuberger Berman Unconstrained Bond Fund

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Neuberger Berman High Income Bond Fund, Neuberger Berman Municipal Intermediate Bond Fund, Neuberger Berman Short Duration Bond Fund, Neuberger Berman Strategic Income Fund and Neuberger Berman Unconstrained Bond Fund, five of the series constituting Neuberger Berman Income Funds (the "Funds"), including the schedules of investments, as of October 31, 2015, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits 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 and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2015, by correspondence with the custodian and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Neuberger Berman High Income Bond Fund, Neuberger Berman Municipal Intermediate Bond Fund, Neuberger Berman Short Duration Bond Fund, Neuberger Berman Strategic Income Fund and Neuberger Berman Unconstrained Bond Fund as of October 31, 2015, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Neuberger Berman Core Bond Fund, Neuberger Berman Floating Rate Income Fund, Neuberger Berman Municipal High Income Fund, Neuberger Berman New York Municipal Income Fund, and Neuberger Berman Short Duration High Income Fund, each a series of Neuberger Berman Income Funds (the "Trust"), including the schedules of investments, as of October 31, 2015, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended (with respect to Neuberger Berman Municipal High Income Fund, for the period June 22, 2015 to October 31, 2015), the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended (with respect to Neuberger Berman Municipal High Income Fund, for the period June 22, 2015 to October 31, 2015), and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended (with respect to Neuberger Berman Municipal High Income Fund, for the period June 22, 2015 to October 31, 2015, with respect to Neuberger Berman New York Municipal Income Fund, for each of the two years in the period then ended, for the period March 1, 2013 to October 31, 2013, and for the year ended February 28, 2013, and with respect to Neuberger Berman Short Duration High Income Fund, for each of the three years in the period then ended and for the period September 28, 2012 to October 31, 2012). These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. With respect to Neuberger Berman New York Municipal Income Fund, financial highlights for each of the two years in the period ended February 28, 2012 were audited by other auditors, whose report dated April 16, 2012, expressed an unqualified opinion on such statements and financial highlights.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also 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, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2015, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the above mentioned series of the Neuberger Berman Income Funds, as of October 31, 2015, and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and the financial highlights for the periods indicated above, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Board Consideration of the Management and Sub-Advisory Agreements

On an annual basis, the Board of Trustees ("Board") of Neuberger Berman Income Funds ("Trust"), including the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of Neuberger Berman Management LLC ("Management") (including its affiliates) or the Trust ("Independent Fund Trustees"), considers whether to continue the management agreement with Management (the "Management Agreement") and the sub-advisory agreements between Management and Neuberger Berman Fixed Income LLC ("NBFI") (each a "Sub-Advisory Agreement" and collectively with the Management Agreement, the "Agreements") with respect to Neuberger Berman Core Bond Fund, Neuberger Berman Floating Rate Income Fund, Neuberger Berman High Income Bond Fund, Neuberger Berman Municipal Intermediate Bond Fund, Neuberger Berman New York Municipal Income Fund, Neuberger Berman Short Duration Bond Fund, Neuberger Berman Short Duration High Income Fund, Neuberger Berman Strategic Income Fund, and Neuberger Berman Unconstrained Bond Fund (each a "Fund"). Throughout the process, the Independent Fund Trustees are advised by counsel that is experienced in Investment Company Act of 1940 matters and that is independent of Management ("Independent Counsel"). At a meeting held on September 8, 2015, the Board, including the Independent Fund Trustees, approved the continuation of the Agreements for each Fund.

In evaluating the Agreements with respect to each Fund, the Board, including the Independent Fund Trustees, reviewed extensive materials provided by Management in response to questions submitted by the Independent Fund Trustees and Independent Counsel, and met with senior representatives of Management regarding its personnel, operations and financial condition as they relate to the Funds. The annual contract review extends over at least two regular meetings of the Board to ensure that Management and NBFI have time to respond to any questions the Independent Fund Trustees may have on their initial review of the materials and that the Independent Fund Trustees have time to consider those responses.

In connection with its deliberations, the Board also considered the broad range of information relevant to the annual contract review that is provided to the Board (including its various standing committees) at meetings throughout the year, including investment performance reports and related portfolio information for each Fund, as well as periodic reports on, among other matters, pricing and valuation; brokerage and execution; compliance; and shareholder and other services provided by Management, NBFI and their affiliates. To assist the Board in its deliberations regarding the annual contract review, the Board has established a Contract Review Committee comprised of Independent Fund Trustees, as well as other committees that focus throughout the year on specific areas relevant to the annual contract review, such as Fund performance or compliance matters.


218

The Independent Fund Trustees received from Independent Counsel a memorandum discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Agreements. During the course of the year and during their deliberations regarding the annual contract review, the Contract Review Committee and the Independent Fund Trustees met with Independent Counsel separately from representatives of Management and NBFI.

In connection with its approval of the continuation of the Agreements, the Board evaluated the terms of the Agreements, the overall fairness of the Agreements to each Fund and whether the Agreements were in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. The Board considered all factors it deemed relevant with respect to each Fund, including the following factors: (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Management and NBFI; (2) the investment performance of each Fund compared to an appropriate market index and a peer group of investment companies; (3) the costs of the services provided and the profit or loss realized by Management and its affiliates from their relationship with each Fund; (4) the extent to which economies of scale have been or might be realized as each Fund grows; and (5) whether fee levels reflect any such potential economies of scale for the benefit of each Fund's shareholders. The Board's determination to approve the continuation of the Agreements was based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Board throughout the year and specifically in connection with the annual contract review. The Board members did not identify any particular information or factor that was all-important or controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors. The Board focused on the overall costs and benefits of the Agreements to each Fund and, through the Funds, their shareholders.

With respect to the nature, extent and quality of the services provided, the Board considered the investment philosophy and decision-making processes of Management and NBFI, and the qualifications, experience, capabilities of, and resources available to, the portfolio management personnel of Management and NBFI who perform services for the Funds. The Board noted that Management also provides certain administrative services, including fund accounting and compliance oversight. The Board also considered Management's and NBFI's policies and practices regarding brokerage and allocation of portfolio transactions and reviewed the quality of the execution services that Management had provided. The Board also considered that Management's responsibilities include daily management of investment, operational, enterprise, legal, regulatory and compliance risks as they relate to the Funds, and considered information regarding Management's processes for managing risk. In addition, the Board noted the positive compliance history of Management and NBFI, as no significant compliance problems were reported to the Board with respect to either firm. The Board also considered the general structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the Funds.

As in past years, the Board also considered the manner in which Management addressed various non-routine matters that arose during the year, some of them a result of developments in the broader fund industry or the regulations governing it. In addition, the Board considered actions taken by Management and NBFI in response to recent market conditions, including actions taken in response to regulatory concerns about changes in fixed-income market liquidity and potential volatility, and considered the overall performance of Management and NBFI in this context.

With respect to investment performance, the Board considered information regarding each Fund's short-, intermediate- and long-term performance, as applicable, both on an absolute basis and relative to an appropriate market index (or benchmark) and the average performance of a composite peer group (as constructed by an independent organization) of investment companies pursuing broadly similar strategies. Considering short-, intermediate- and long-term performance enables the Board to evaluate performance in a variety of market conditions. The Board also reviewed performance in relation to certain measures of the degree of investment risk undertaken by the portfolio managers. The Board factored into its evaluation of the Funds' performance the limitations inherent in the methodology for constructing peer groups and determining which investment companies should be included in which peer groups. In the case of those Funds that had underperformed their benchmark indices and/or peer groups, the Board discussed with Management each Fund's performance and steps that Management had taken, or intended to take, to improve performance. In this regard, the Board noted that performance, especially short-term performance, is only one of the factors that it deems relevant to its consideration of a Fund's Agreements and that, after considering all relevant factors, it may be appropriate to approve the continuation of the Agreements notwithstanding a Fund's underperformance.

219


With respect to the overall fairness of the Agreements, the Board considered the fee structure for each Fund under the Agreements as compared to a peer group of comparable funds and any fall-out benefits likely to accrue to Management or NBFI or their affiliates from their relationship with each Fund. With respect to Neuberger Berman Strategic Income Fund, the Board considered that the Fund invests in affiliated underlying funds pursuant to exemptive relief obtained from the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Board further considered, for any assets that Neuberger Berman Strategic Income Fund invests in an affiliated underlying fund, Management's undertaking to waive a portion of the Fund's advisory fee equal to the advisory fee it receives from such affiliated underlying fund. The Board also considered the profitability of Management and its affiliates from their association with the Funds, and year-over-year changes in each of Management's reported expense categories. The Board reviewed a comparison of each Fund's management fee and overall expense ratio to a peer group of comparable funds. The Board noted that the comparative management fee analysis includes, in each Fund's management fee, the separate administrative fee paid to Management, but it was not clear whether this was the case for all funds in the peer group. The Board considered the mean and median of the management fees and expense ratios of each peer group. Where a Fund's management fee was higher than the peer group mean and/or median, the Board considered whether specific portfolio management or administration needs contributed to the size of the management fee. In addition, the Board considered the contractual limit on expenses of certain classes of each Fund. The Board noted that Management incurred a loss on certain of the Funds during the review period. The Board noted that for Funds with small asset levels, the overall expense ratio of each Fund is maintained through expense reimbursements by Management that exceeds the fees that Management receives from the Funds.

With regard to the investment performance of each Fund and the costs of the services provided to each Fund, the Board considered the following information. Where a Fund has more than one class of shares outstanding, information for a single class has been provided as identified below:

•  Neuberger Berman Core Bond Fund (Institutional Class)—The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's contractual management fee and actual management fee net of fees waived by Management were both lower than the median. The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's performance was higher than the median for the 1, 3, 5, and 10-year periods. The Board also considered that, as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance was lower for the 1-year period, but higher for the 3, 5, and 10-year periods.

•  Neuberger Berman Floating Rate Income Fund (Institutional Class)—The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's contractual management fee was at the median, and the actual management fee net of fees waived by Management was lower than the median. The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's performance was higher than the median for the 1, 3, and 5-year periods. The Board also considered that, as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance was lower for the 1, 3, and 5-year periods. The Fund does not yet have 10-year performance.

•  Neuberger Berman High Income Bond Fund (Institutional Class or Investor Class as noted)—The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's Institutional Class contractual management fee and actual management fee were both higher than the median. The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's Investor Class performance was higher than the average for the 1, 3, 5, and 10-year periods. The Board also considered that, as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's Investor Class performance was lower for the 1, 3, 5, and 10-year periods. Because the fees for Investor Class are generally higher than they are for Institutional Class, the performance of Institutional Class is generally higher than that of Investor Class.

•  Neuberger Berman Municipal Intermediate Bond Fund (Institutional Class or Investor Class as noted)—The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's Institutional Class contractual management fee and actual management fee net of fees waived by Management were both higher than the median. The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's Investor Class performance was higher than the average for the 1, 3 and 5-year periods and equal to the average for the 10-year period. The Board also considered that, as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance was higher for the 1 and 3-year periods, but lower for the 5 and 10-year periods. Because the fees for Investor Class are generally higher than they are for Institutional Class, the performance of Institutional Class is generally higher than that of Investor Class.

220


•  Neuberger Berman New York Municipal Income Fund (Institutional Class)—The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's contractual management fee and actual management fee were both lower than the median. The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's performance was higher than the median for the 1-year period. The Board also considered that, as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance was higher for the 1-year period. Neuberger Berman assumed the management of this Fund in 2013 and it therefore does not have intermediate- and long-term performance.

•  Neuberger Berman Short Duration Bond Fund (Investor Class)—The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's contractual management fee was higher than the median, but the actual management fee net of fees waived by Management was lower than the median. The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's performance was lower than the median for the 1 and 10-year periods, but higher than the median for the 3 and 5-year periods. The Board also considered that, as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance was lower for the 1 and 10-year periods, but higher for the 3 and 5-year periods.

•  Neuberger Berman Short Duration High Income Fund (Institutional Class)—The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's contractual management fee and actual management fee net of fees waived by Management were both lower than the median. The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's performance was lower than the median for the 1-year period. The Board also considered that, as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance was lower for the 1-year period. The Fund was launched in 2013 and therefore does not have intermediate- and long-term performance.

•  Neuberger Berman Strategic Income Fund (Institutional Class)—The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's contractual management fee and actual management fee net of fees waived by Management were both higher than the median. The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's performance was higher than the median for the 1, 3, and 5-year periods. The Board also considered that, as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance was lower for the 1-year period, but higher for the 3, 5, and 10-year periods.

•  Neuberger Berman Unconstrained Bond Fund (Institutional Class)—The Fund was launched in 2014 and while the Board reviewed its performance as compared to its benchmark, the Board recognizes the limitations of relying on very short-term performance.

The Board also considered whether there were other funds or separate accounts that were advised or sub-advised by Management or its affiliates with investment objectives, policies and strategies that were similar to those of any of the Funds. In the cases where such funds or separate accounts exist, the Board compared the fees charged to the comparable Fund to the fees charged to any such funds and/or separate accounts. The Board considered the appropriateness and reasonableness of any differences between the fees charged to a comparable Fund and any such funds and/or separate accounts, including any breakpoints, and determined that differences in fees and fee structures were consistent with the management and other services provided. The Board also evaluated any apparent or anticipated economies of scale in relation to the services Management provides to each Fund. The Board considered whether each Fund's fee structure provides for a reduction of payments resulting from the use of breakpoints and whether any such breakpoints are set at appropriate asset levels. In concluding that the benefits accruing to Management and its affiliates by virtue of their relationship with each Fund were reasonable in light of the costs of providing the investment advisory and other services and the benefits accruing to each Fund, the Board reviewed specific data as to Management's profit or loss on each Fund for a recent period. The Board also considered Management's cost allocation methodology. The Board recognized that Management should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for services it provides to the Funds and, based on its review, concluded that Management's reported level of profitability on each Fund was reasonable.

Conclusions

In approving the continuation of the Agreements, the Board concluded that the terms of each Agreement are fair and reasonable to each Fund and that approval of the continuation of the Agreements is in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders. In reaching this determination, the Board considered that Management and NBFI could be

221

expected to provide a high level of service to each Fund; that the performance of each Fund was satisfactory over time, or, in the case of underperforming Funds, that it retained confidence in Management's and NBFI's capabilities to manage the Funds; that each Fund's fee structure appeared to the Board to be reasonable given the nature, extent and quality of services provided; and that the benefits accruing to Management and its affiliates by virtue of their relationship with the Funds were reasonable in light of the costs of providing the investment advisory and other services and the benefits accruing to each Fund. The Board's conclusions may be based in part on its consideration of materials prepared in connection with the approval or continuance of the Agreements in prior years and on the Board's ongoing regular review of Fund performance and operations throughout the year, in addition to material prepared specifically for the most recent annual review of the Agreements.

Neuberger Berman Municipal High Income Fund: Initial Consideration of the Management and Sub-Advisory Agreements

At a meeting held on March 25-26, 2015, the Board of Trustees ("Board") of Neuberger Berman Income Funds ("Trust"), including the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of Neuberger Berman Management LLC ("Management") (including its affiliates) or the Trust ("Independent Fund Trustees"), evaluated and approved the management agreement with Management (the "Management Agreement") and the sub-advisory agreement between Management and Neuberger Berman Fixed Income LLC ("NBFI") (the "Sub-Advisory Agreement" and collectively with the Management Agreement, the "Agreements") with respect to Neuberger Berman Municipal High Income Fund (the "Fund"). The Independent Fund Trustees were advised by counsel that is experienced in Investment Company Act of 1940 matters and that is independent of Management ("Independent Counsel").

In evaluating the Agreements, the Board, including the Independent Fund Trustees, reviewed materials provided by Management and met with senior representatives of Management regarding its personnel and operations as they relate to the Fund.

In connection with its deliberations, the Board also considered the broad range of information relevant to the annual contract review that is provided to the Board (including its various standing committees) at meetings throughout the year and for the annual consideration of continuance of contracts for other series of the Trust that were approved during the Board's annual contract review in October 2014. To assist the Board in its deliberations regarding contract review, the Board has established a Contract Review Committee comprised of Independent Fund Trustees, as well as other committees that focus throughout the year on specific areas relevant to contract review, such as compliance matters.

The Independent Trustees receive from Independent Counsel a memorandum, at least annually, discussing the legal standards for their consideration of management and advisory agreements. During the course of their deliberations regarding their review of the Agreements, the Independent Fund Trustees met with Independent Counsel together with and separately from representatives of Management and NBFI.

In connection with its approval of the Agreements, the Board evaluated the terms of the Agreements, the overall fairness of the Agreements to the Fund and whether the Agreements were in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. The Board considered all factors it deemed relevant with respect to the Fund, including the following factors: (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided by Management and NBFI; (2) the expected costs of the services to be provided; (3) the extent to which economies of scale might be realized as the Fund grows; and (4) whether proposed fee levels reflect any such potential economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund's shareholders. The Board's determination to approve the Agreements was based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Board. The Board members did not identify any particular information or factor that was all-important or controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors. The Board focused on the overall costs and benefits of the Agreements to the Fund and, through the Fund, its shareholders.

With respect to the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided, the Board considered the investment philosophy and decision-making processes of Management and NBFI and the qualifications, experience, and capabilities of, and the resources available to, the portfolio management personnel of Management and NBFI who would perform

222

services for the Fund. The Board noted that Management also would provide certain administrative services, including fund accounting and compliance oversight. The Board also considered Management's and NBFI's policies and practices regarding brokerage and allocation of portfolio transactions for the Fund. The Board also considered that Management's responsibilities include daily management of investment, operational, enterprise, legal, regulatory and compliance risks as they relate to the Fund, and considered information regarding Management's processes for managing risk. In addition, the Board noted the positive compliance history of Management and NBFI as no significant compliance problems were reported to the Board with respect to either firm.

With respect to the overall fairness of the Agreements, the Board considered the fee structures proposed under the Agreements as compared to a peer group of comparable funds and any fall-out benefits likely to accrue to Management or NBFI or their affiliates from their relationship with the Fund. The Board reviewed a comparison of the Fund's proposed management fee and overall expense ratio to a peer group and a larger group of broadly comparable funds and determined that, for two of the three classes, the total expenses projected were above the median relative to the larger group. In this analysis, it was assumed that the Fund had not grown large enough to trigger any breakpoints in the schedule of management fees. The Board noted that the comparative management fee analysis includes, in the Fund's management fee, the separate administrative fee paid to Management, but it was not clear whether this was the case for all funds in the peer group or the larger group of broadly comparable funds. In addition, the Board considered the proposed contractual limit on expenses of each class of the Fund. The Board also considered whether it would be appropriate to evaluate any anticipated economies of scale in relation to the services Management would provide to the Fund, noting that it may be too soon to anticipate the economies at the start-up phase of a fund. The Board concluded that the benefits expected to accrue to Management and its affiliates by virtue of their relationship to the Fund were reasonable in light of the costs of providing the investment advisory and other services and the benefits expected to accrue to the Fund.

Conclusions

In approving the Agreements, the Board concluded that the terms of each Agreement are fair and reasonable to the Fund and that approval of the Agreements is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In reaching this determination, the Board considered that Management and NBFI could be expected to provide a high level of service to the Fund; that the Fund's proposed fee structure appeared to the Board to be reasonable given the nature, extent and quality of services expected to be provided; and that the benefits expected to accrue to Management and its affiliates by virtue of their relationship to the Fund were reasonable in light of the costs of providing the investment advisory and other services and the benefits expected to accrue to the Fund.

President's Letter

Dear Shareholder,

I am pleased to present this annual shareholder report for Neuberger Berman Emerging Markets Debt Fund. The report includes a portfolio commentary, a listing of the Fund's investments and its audited financial statements for the 12 months ended October 31, 2015.

The Fund is managed by Rob Drijkoningen and Gorky Urquieta, the co-heads of Neuberger Berman's Emerging Markets Debt team, along with five other portfolio managers. The Fund takes a flexible, research-driven approach to investing across a full spectrum of emerging markets (EM) corporate and sovereign/quasi-sovereign debt securities, denominated in both local currency and hard currency.

Emerging markets debt has faced a challenging environment during the reporting period, driven by a drop in commodity prices and disappointing growth in a number of emerging economies. The local currency debt market suffered the most, with a return of -17.42%, while both hard currency sovereign debt market and corporate debt market delivered small positive returns of 0.39% and 0.87%, respectively.

Despite the recent setback, the investment team is generally constructive on the asset class in the medium term, as it sees recoveries in the developed markets ultimately supporting EM growth, in addition to oil demand and supply dynamics improving later in 2016. Also, in the shorter term, the team anticipates a cyclical uptick in EM growth on the back of supportive monetary policy in China and pass-through from strong U.S. and eurozone consumer demand to global manufacturing. We believe this should counterbalance some of the fundamental headwinds facing EM, such as the necessary deleveraging process in Asia and domestic challenges in some large emerging economies. Finally, in our view, both technicals and valuation levels appear to us to be generally supportive for the asset class at present.

Thank you for your continued support and trust. We look forward to continue serving your investment needs in the years to come.

Sincerely,

ROBERT CONTI
PRESIDENT AND CEO
NEUBERGER BERMAN MUTUAL FUNDS

Emerging Markets Debt Fund Commentary (Unaudited)

Neuberger Berman Emerging Markets Debt Fund Institutional Class generated a -10.64% total return for the 12 months ended October 31, 2015 and underperformed its benchmark, a blend consisting of 50% J.P. Morgan Government Bond Index-Emerging Markets Global Diversified, 25% J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index-Global Diversified and 25% J.P. Morgan Corporate Emerging Markets Bond Index-Diversified, which delivered a -8.76% return for the period. (Performance for all share classes is provided in the table immediately following this letter.)

During the 12-month period, the negative returns delivered by the Fund and the benchmark were primarily driven by the poor performance of local currency debt, which suffered due to a sharp depreciation in emerging markets currencies. The currency weakness was mostly driven by a decline in commodity prices, disappointing growth data from across several emerging economies, as well as the strong U.S. dollar environment as a result of improved U.S. economic fundamentals and increased prospects of higher U.S. interest rates. All of the emerging markets currencies in the benchmark depreciated against the U.S. dollar during the reporting period, with the Brazilian real and the Russian ruble lagging the most. Local rates increased slightly during this period amidst an increase in risk premia as well as inflation pressures in some local markets.

Within the emerging markets debt market, hard currency sovereign debt and corporate debt delivered a small positive return as the positive effect from the underlying U.S. Treasury component offset the negative effect from wider spreads in both markets.

In regards to Fund performance, tactical asset allocations delivered positive contributions to performance, while bottom-up allocations across local currency debt, hard currency sovereign debt and corporate debt detracted from performance. Tactically, we held an underweight in local currency debt during most of the period and an overweight in hard currency sovereign debt, with each adding to performance.

Among the main performance detractors in the hard currency sovereign space were our overweight exposure to Venezuela and underweights in Argentina and The Philippines. In corporate debt, security selection in Colombia and Mexico hurt performance, while positioning in Russian corporates added value. Finally, in the local currency space, positioning in emerging markets currencies contributed to performance, mainly through the overall underweight exposure to the space, most specifically our underweights in the Colombian peso, the South African rand and the Singapore dollar. Positioning in local rates detracted though, due largely to our overweight exposure to local duration, particularly in some higher yielding markets such as Brazil, where local yields continued to increase amidst sticky inflation and fiscal challenges.

The Fund's aggregate use of derivatives (swap contracts, forward foreign currency contracts and financial futures contracts) had a positive effect on performance during the period.

Looking ahead, we believe that emerging markets pricing across the asset classes discounts a higher degree of risk and provides value. As much as we would like to see more progress on structural reforms in a number of countries, we see a reasonable chance of a cyclical recovery in the coming quarters coupled with growth in developed countries and supported by the easy monetary policy in the eurozone and China. Oil prices could also turn into a supportive factor for emerging markets if the current demand-supply dislocation becomes more balanced later in 2016 as we anticipate. We believe valuations across hard currency, local currency and corporates generally favor weightings with an emphasis to exposure on sovereigns and local interest rates. In our view, corporate balance sheets remain more sensitive than sovereigns to growth although markets have increasingly taken this into account. With fairly prudent balance sheet management and the prospect of some growth recovery, we believe these risks are likely to remain contained. Given structural strengths in emerging markets due to high international reserves, low public sector indebtedness and less scope

for outflows (as portfolio adjustments have already largely taken place), we believe the outlook for emerging markets is supportive for 2016.

The performance data quoted represent past performance and do not indicate future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, please visit www.nb.com/performance.

The results shown in the table reflect the reinvestment of income dividends and other distributions, if any. The results do not reflect the effect of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares.

The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate and shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

Returns would have been lower if Neuberger Berman Management LLC (Management) had not reimbursed certain expenses and/or waived a portion of the investment management fees during certain of the periods shown. Repayment by a class (of expenses previously reimbursed and/or fees previously waived by Management) will decrease the class's returns. Please see Note B in the Notes to Financial Statements for specific information regarding expense reimbursement and/or fee waiver arrangements.

For the period ended October 31, 2015, the 30-day SEC yields were 6.38%, 5.75% and 5.25% for Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively. Absent expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, the 30-day SEC yield would have been 6.25% for Institutional Class. Absent repayment, the 30-day SEC yields would have been 5.96% and 5.60% for Class A and Class C shares, respectively.

As stated in the Fund's most recent prospectus, the total annual operating expense ratios for fiscal year 2014 were 1.12%, 1.74% and 2.45% for Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively (before expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers, if any). The expense ratios were 0.91%, 1.28% and 2.03% for Institutional Class, Class A and Class C shares, respectively, after expense reimbursements and/or fee waivers. The expense ratios for the annual period ended October 31, 2015 can be found in the Financial Highlights section of this report.

Returns shown with a sales charge reflect the deduction of the current maximum initial sales charge of 4.25% for Class A shares and the contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) for Class C shares. The CDSC for Class C shares is 1%, which is reduced to 0% after 1 year. The performance of the Fund's share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses. Please see the prospectus for more information about sales charge structures, if any, and class expenses for your share class.

COMPARISON OF A $1,000,000 INVESTMENT

(000's omitted)



This graph shows the change in value of a hypothetical $1,000,000 investment in the Fund over the past 10 fiscal years, or since the Fund's inception if it has not operated for 10 years. The graph is based on the Institutional Class shares only; the performance of the Fund's share classes will differ primarily due to different sales charge structures and class expenses (see Performance Highlights chart on previous page). The result is compared with benchmarks, which include a broad-based market index and may include a more narrowly based index. Market indices have not been reduced to reflect any of the fees and costs of investing. The results shown in the graph reflect the reinvestment of income dividends and other distributions, if any. The results do not reflect the effect of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemption of Fund shares. Results represent past performance and do not indicate future results.

Information About Your Fund's Expenses (Unaudited)

As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees (if applicable), and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in U.S. dollars) of investing in the Fund and compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

This table is designed to provide information regarding costs related to your investments. The following examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the six month period ended October 31, 2015 and held for the entire period. The table illustrates the Fund's costs in two ways:

Actual Expenses and Performance:

 

The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses in dollars, based on the Fund's actual performance during the period indicated. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first section of the table under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During the Period" to estimate the expenses you paid over the period.

Hypothetical Example for
Comparison Purposes:
 

The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return at 5% per year before expenses. This return is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund versus other funds. To do so, compare the expenses shown in this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note that the expenses in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not include any transaction costs, such as sales charges (loads) (if applicable). Therefore, the information under the heading "Hypothetical (5% annual return before expenses)" is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Schedule of Investments

  In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820 "Fair Value Measurement" ("ASC 820"), all investments held by Neuberger Berman Emerging Markets Debt Fund (the "Fund") are carried at the value that Neuberger Berman Management LLC ("Management") believes the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal or most advantageous market for the investment under current market conditions. Various inputs, including the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability in the market, are considered in valuing the Fund's investments, some of which are discussed below. Significant Management judgment may be necessary to value investments in accordance with ASC 820.

ASC 820 established a three-tier hierarchy of inputs to create a classification of value measurements for disclosure purposes. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below.

•  Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

•  Level 2 – other observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, amortized cost, etc.)

•  Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing an investment are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The value of the Fund's investments in debt securities is determined by Management primarily by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on readily available bid quotations or, if quotations are not available, by methods which include various considerations based on security type (generally Level 2 inputs). In addition to the consideration of yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type, indications as to values from dealers, and general market conditions, the following is a description of other Level 2 inputs and related valuation techniques used by independent pricing services to value certain types of debt securities held by the Fund:

Corporate Debt Securities. Inputs used to value corporate debt securities generally include relative credit information, observed market movements, sector news, spread to the U.S. Treasury market, and other market information, which may include benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issuer spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers, and reference data, such as market research publications, when available ("Other Market Information").

Emerging Markets Debt, Sovereign Debt and Quasi-Sovereign Debt. Inputs used to value emerging markets debt, sovereign debt and quasi-sovereign debt generally include dealer quotes, bond market activity, discounted cash flow models, and other relevant information such as credit spreads, benchmark curves and Other Market Information.

The value of financial futures contracts ("financial futures") is determined by Management by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services at the settlement price at the market close (Level 1 inputs).

The value of forward foreign currency contracts ("forward contracts") is determined by Management by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on actual traded currency rates on independent pricing services' networks, along with other traded and quoted currency rates provided to the pricing services by leading market participants (Level 2 inputs).

The value of interest rate swap contracts ("interest rate swaps") is determined by Management primarily by obtaining valuations from independent pricing services based on references to the underlying rates including the local overnight index swap rate and the respective interbank offered forward rate to produce the daily price. The present value is calculated based off of expected cash flows based on swap parameters along with reference to the underlying yield curve and reference rate (generally Level 2 inputs).

Notes to Schedule of Investments (cont'd)

Management has developed a process to periodically review information provided by independent pricing services for all types of securities.

Investments in non-exchange traded investment companies are valued using the respective fund's daily calculated net asset value per share (Level 2 inputs).

If a valuation is not available from an independent pricing service, or if Management has reason to believe that the valuation received does not represent the amount the Fund might reasonably expect to receive on a current sale in an orderly transaction, Management seeks to obtain quotations from brokers or dealers (generally considered Level 2 or Level 3 inputs depending on the number of quotes available). If such quotations are not readily available, the security is valued using methods the Neuberger Berman Income Funds' Board of Trustees (the "Board") has approved in the good-faith belief that the resulting valuation will reflect the fair value of the security. Numerous factors may be considered when determining the fair value of a security based on Level 2 or Level 3 inputs, including available analyst, media or other reports, trading in financial futures or American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs") and whether the issuer of the security being fair valued has other securities outstanding.

The value of the Fund's investments in foreign securities is generally determined using the same valuation methods and inputs as other Fund investments, as discussed above. Foreign security prices expressed in local currency values are translated from the local currency into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates as of the end of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on business days, usually 4:00 p.m., Eastern time. The Board has approved the use of Interactive Data Pricing and Reference Data, Inc. ("Interactive") to evaluate the prices of foreign income securities as of the close of the NYSE. Interactive utilizes benchmark spread and yield curves and evaluates available market activity from the local close to the close of the NYSE (Level 2 inputs) to assist in determining prices for certain foreign income securities. In the absence of precise information about the market values of these foreign securities as of the close of the NYSE, the Board has determined on the basis of available data that prices evaluated in this way are likely to be closer to the prices the Fund could realize on a current sale than are the prices of those securities established at the close of the foreign markets in which the securities primarily trade.

Fair value prices are necessarily estimates, and there is no assurance that such a price will be at or close to the price at which the security is next quoted or next trades.

Securities categorized as Level 3 are valued based on a single quotation obtained from a dealer. The Fund does not have access to unobservable inputs and therefore cannot disclose such inputs used in formulating such quotation.

As of the year ended October 31, 2015, certain securities were transferred from one level (as of October 31, 2014) to another. Based on beginning of period market values as of November 1, 2014, approximately $951,000 was transferred from Level 3 to Level 2. Transfers of government debt securities into or out of Level 3 were primarily due to the pricing methodology being based on a single broker quote (Level 3) or a single observable input (Level 3) by the independent pricing service. As of the year ended October 31, 2015, the Fund had no transfers between Levels 1 and 2.

Notes to Financial Statements Emerging Markets Debt Fund

Note A—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

1  General: Neuberger Berman Income Funds (the "Trust") is a Delaware statutory trust organized pursuant to an Amended and Restated Trust Instrument dated March 27, 2014. The Trust is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), and its shares are registered under the 1933 Act. The Fund is a separate operating series of the Trust and is non-diversified. The Fund offers Institutional Class shares, Class A shares and Class C shares. The Fund had no operations until September 27, 2013, other than matters relating to its organization and registration of its shares under the 1933 Act. Effective June 2, 2014, Neuberger Berman Emerging Markets Income Fund changed its name to Neuberger Berman Emerging Markets Debt Fund. The Board may establish additional series or classes of shares without the approval of shareholders.

A zero balance, if any, reflects an actual amount rounding to less than $1,000.

The assets of the Fund belong only to the Fund, and the liabilities of the Fund are borne solely by the Fund and no other.

The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 "Financial Services—Investment Companies."

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires Management to make estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2  Portfolio valuation: Investment securities are valued as indicated in the notes following the Fund's Schedule of Investments.

3  Foreign currency translation: The Fund may invest in foreign securities denominated in foreign currencies. The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate as of the end of regular trading on the NYSE on business days, usually 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, to determine the value of investments, other assets and liabilities. Purchase and sale prices of securities, and income and expenses, are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective dates of such transactions. Net unrealized foreign currency gain (loss), if any, arises from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities, as a result of changes in exchange rates and is stated separately in the Statement of Operations.

4  Securities transactions and investment income: Securities transactions are recorded on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, for certain foreign dividends, as soon as the Fund becomes aware of the dividends. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income, including accretion of discount (adjusted for original issue discount, where applicable) and amortization of premium, where applicable, is recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions and foreign currency transactions, if any, are recorded on the basis of identified cost and stated separately in the Statement of Operations.

5  Income tax information: It is the policy of the Fund to continue to qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company by complying with the requirements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains to its shareholders. To the extent the Fund distributes substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains to shareholders, no federal income or excise tax provision is required.

31

The Fund has adopted the provisions of ASC 740 "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740"). ASC 740 sets forth a minimum threshold for financial statement recognition of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax positions as an income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. The Fund is subject to examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities for returns filed for the tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not yet expired. As of October 31, 2015, the Fund did not have any unrecognized tax positions.

Income distributions and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These differences are primarily due to differing treatments of income and gains on various investment securities held by the Fund, timing differences and differing characterization of distributions made by the Fund. The Fund may also utilize earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of their shares as a part of the dividends-paid deduction for income tax purposes.

As determined on October 31, 2015, permanent differences resulting primarily from different book and tax accounting were reclassified at the end of the period. Such differences may be attributed to the tax treatment of one or more of the following: foreign currency gains and losses, gains and losses on swap contracts, rollforward of swap true-up from prior years, return of capital distributions, capital gains tax and net operating losses. These reclassifications had no effect on net income, net asset value ("NAV") or NAV per share of the Fund. For the year ended October 31, 2015, the Fund recorded the following permanent reclassifications:

Paid-in Capital   Undistributed
Net Investment
Income (Loss)
  Accumulated Net
Realized Gains
(Losses) on

The differences between book basis and tax basis distributable earnings are primarily due to: timing differences of distribution payments, losses disallowed and recognized on wash sales, organizational expenses, defaulted bond adjustments, and mark to market on certain swap contract transactions, certain future contract transactions and forward foreign currency contracts.

To the extent the Fund's net realized capital gains, if any, can be offset by capital loss carryforwards, it is the policy of the Fund not to distribute such gains. For taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010, the capital loss carryforwards rules allow for regulated investment companies to carry forward capital losses indefinitely and to retain the character of capital loss carryforwards as short-term or long-term. As determined on October 31, 2015, the Fund had unused capital loss carryforwards available for federal income tax purposes to offset net realized capital gains as follows:

6  Distributions to shareholders: The Fund earns income, net of expenses, daily on its investments. Ordinarily, distributions from net investment income are declared on each business day and paid monthly, and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are generally distributed once a year (usually in December). Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-date.

7  Expense allocation: Certain expenses are applicable to multiple funds within the complex of related investment companies. Expenses directly attributable to the Fund are charged to the Fund. Expenses of the Trust that are not directly attributable to a particular series of the Trust (e.g., the Fund) are allocated among the series of the Trust, on the basis of relative net assets, except where a more appropriate allocation of expenses to each of the series can otherwise be made fairly. Expenses borne by the complex of related investment companies, which includes open-end and closed-end investment companies for which Management serves as investment manager, that are not directly attributable to a particular investment company in the complex (e.g., the Trust) or series thereof are allocated among the investment companies or series thereof in the complex on the basis of relative net assets, except where a more appropriate allocation of expenses to each of the investment companies or series thereof in the complex can otherwise be made fairly. The Fund's expenses (other than those specific to each class) are allocated proportionally each day among the classes based upon the relative net assets of each class.

8  Dollar rolls: The Fund may enter into dollar roll transactions with respect to mortgage-backed securities. In a dollar roll transaction, the Fund sells securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously agrees to repurchase substantially similar (i.e., same type and coupon) securities on a specified future date from the same party. During the period before this repurchase, the Fund forgoes principal and interest payments on the securities. The Fund is compensated by the difference between the current sales price and the forward price for the future purchase (often referred to as the "drop"), as well as by the interest earned on the cash proceeds of the initial sale. Dollar rolls may increase fluctuations in the Fund's NAV and may be viewed as a form of leverage. There is a risk that the counterparty will be unable or unwilling to complete the transaction as scheduled, which may result in losses to the Fund.

9  When-issued/delayed delivery securities: The Fund may purchase securities with delivery or payment to occur at a later date beyond the normal settlement period. At the time the Fund enters into a commitment to purchase a security, the transaction is recorded and the value of the security is reflected in the NAV. The price of such security and the date when the security will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The value of the security may vary with market fluctuations. No interest accrues to the Fund until payment takes place. At the time the Fund enters into this type of transaction it is required to segregate cash or other liquid assets at least equal to the amount of the commitment. When-issued and delayed delivery transactions can have a leverage-like effect on the Fund, which can increase fluctuations in the Fund's share price. Certain risks may arise upon entering into when-issued or delayed delivery securities from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors. Additionally, losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities.

10  Foreign taxes: Foreign taxes withheld, if any, represent amounts withheld by foreign tax authorities, net of refunds recoverable.

Foreign capital gains on certain foreign securities may be subject to foreign taxes, which are accrued as applicable. At October 31, 2015, there were no outstanding balances of accrued capital gains taxes for the Fund.

11  Investments in foreign securities: Investing in foreign securities may involve certain sovereign and other risks, in addition to the credit and market risks normally associated with domestic securities. These additional risks include the possibility of adverse political and economic developments (including political instability, nationalization, expropriation, or confiscatory taxation) and the potentially adverse effects of unavailability of public information regarding issuers, less governmental supervision and regulation of financial markets, reduced liquidity of certain financial markets, and the lack of uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards or the application of standards that are different or less stringent than those applied in the United States. Foreign securities also may experience greater price volatility, higher rates of inflation, and delays in settlement.

Derivative instruments: During the year ended October 31, 2015, the Fund's use of derivatives, as described below, was limited to interest rate swaps, cross currency swaps, forward contracts and financial futures. The Fund has adopted the provisions of ASC 815 "Derivatives and Hedging" ("ASC 815"). The disclosure requirements of ASC 815 distinguish between derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting and those that do not. Because investment companies value their derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in fair value through the Statement of Operations, they do not qualify for hedge accounting. Accordingly, even though the Fund's investments in derivatives may represent economic hedges, they are considered non-hedge transactions for purposes of this disclosure.

Interest rate swap contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2015, the Fund used interest rate swaps, with institutions that Management has determined are creditworthy, to manage or adjust interest rate risk of the Fund, to take advantage of the portfolio managers' views on interest rates and market pricing of future monetary policy, to obtain exposure on a maturity horizon where bonds are illiquid or are unavailable, and to add value by obtaining leveraged rate positions. Under the terms of the interest rate swaps, the Fund agrees to pay the swap counterparty a fixed-rate payment in exchange for the counterparty's paying the Fund a variable-rate payment, or the Fund agrees to pay the swap counterparty a variable-rate payment in exchange for the counterparty's paying the Fund a fixed-rate payment. The fixed-rate and variable rate payment flows are netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other on a monthly or quarterly basis. The Fund segregates cash or liquid securities having a value at least equal to the Fund's net payment obligations under any interest rate swaps, marked to market daily. There is no guarantee that these interest rate swap transactions will be successful in reducing or limiting risk.

Risks may arise if the counterparty to an interest rate swap contract fails to comply with the terms of its contract. The loss incurred due to the failure of a counterparty is generally limited to the net interest payment to be received by the Fund and/or the termination value at the end of the contract. Additionally, risks may arise if there is no liquid market for these agreements or from movements in interest rates unanticipated by Management.

Periodic expected interim net interest payments or receipts on the swaps are recorded as an adjustment to unrealized gains/losses, along with the fair value of the future periodic payment or receivable streams on the swaps. The unrealized gains/losses associated with the periodic interim net interest payments or receipts are reclassified to realized gains/losses in conjunction with the actual net payment or receipt of such amounts. The reclassifications do not impact the Fund's total net assets or its total net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations. At October 31, 2015, the Fund had outstanding interest rate swaps as follows:

For the year ended October 31, 2015, the average notional value of interest rate swaps was $60,360,984.

Cross currency swap contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2015, the Fund used cross currency swap transactions, with institutions that Management has determined are creditworthy, to manage or adjust interest rate risk of the Fund, to take advantage of the portfolio managers' views on interest rate movements and market pricing of future monetary policy, to obtain exposure on a maturity horizon where bonds are illiquid or do not exist, and to add value by obtaining leveraged rate positions. Cross currency swaps are interest rate swaps in which interest payments and principal amounts are exchanged in two different currencies. The notional amounts are typically determined based on the spot exchange rates at the inception of the trade. The entire principal value of a cross currency swap is subject to the risk that the counterparty to the swap will default on its contractual delivery obligations. Additionally, risks may arise if there is no liquid market for these agreements or from movements in interest rates unanticipated by Management. Periodic expected interim net interest payments or receipts on the swaps are recorded as an adjustment to unrealized gains/losses, along with the fair value of the future periodic payment or receivable streams on the swaps. The unrealized gains/losses associated with the periodic interim net interest payments or receipts are reclassified to realized gains/losses in conjunction with the actual net payment or receipt of such amounts. The reclassifications do not impact the Fund's total net assets or its total net increase (decrease) in net assets resulting from operations. At October 31, 2015, the Fund did not have any outstanding cross currency swap contracts.

For the year ended October 31, 2015, the average notional value of cross currency swap contracts was $9,841,041.

Forward foreign currency contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2015, the Fund used forward contracts to manage or adjust views on foreign exchange rate movements and currency exposure of the Fund, to add value by applying foreign exchange leverage, and to gain exposure to new and difficult to access markets.

A forward contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell a specific currency for another at a set price on a future date, and is individually negotiated and privately traded by currency traders and their customers in the interbank market. The market value of a forward contract fluctuates with changes in forward currency exchange

38

rates. Forward contracts are marked to market daily, and the change in value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. At the consummation of a forward contract to purchase or sell currency, the Fund may either exchange the currencies specified at the maturity of the forward contract or enter into a closing transaction involving the purchase or sale of an offsetting forward contract. Closing transactions with respect to forward contracts are usually performed with the counterparty to the original forward contract. The gain or loss arising from the difference between the U.S. dollar cost of the original contract and the value of the foreign currency in U.S. dollars upon closing a contract is included in "Net realized gain (loss) from forward foreign currency contracts" in the Statement of Operations. These contracts may involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, the Fund could be exposed to risk if the counterparties are unable to meet the terms of the contracts or if the value of the currency changes unfavorably to the U.S. dollar.

At October 31, 2015, open forward contracts were as follows:

For the year ended October 31, 2015, the Fund's investments in forward contracts had an average notional value of $245,987,895.

Financial futures contracts: During the year ended October 31, 2015, the Fund used financial futures for economic hedging purposes, including as a maturity or duration management device.

At the time the Fund enters into a financial futures contract, it is required to deposit with the futures commission merchant a specified amount of cash or liquid securities, known as "initial margin," which is a percentage of the value of the financial futures contract being traded that is set by the exchange upon which the futures contract is traded. Each day, the futures contract is valued at the official settlement price of the board of trade or U.S. commodity exchange on which such futures contract is traded. Subsequent payments, known as "variation margin," to and from the broker are made on a daily basis, or as needed, as the market price of the financial futures contract fluctuates. Daily variation margin adjustments, arising from this "mark to market," are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses.

Although some financial futures by their terms call for actual delivery or acquisition of the underlying securities or currency, in most cases the contracts are closed out prior to delivery by offsetting purchases or sales of matching financial futures. When the contracts are closed, the Fund recognizes a gain or loss. Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility there may be an illiquid market, possibly at a time of rapidly declining prices, and/or a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. Futures executed on regulated futures exchanges have minimal counterparty risk to the Fund because the exchange's clearinghouse assumes the position of the counterparty in each transaction. Thus, the Fund is exposed to risk only in connection with the clearinghouse and not in connection with the original counterparty to the transaction.

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the futures transactions undertaken by the Fund may cause the Fund to recognize gains or losses from marking contracts to market even though its positions have not been sold or terminated, may affect the character of the gains or losses recognized as long-term or short-term, and may affect the timing of some capital gains and losses realized by the Fund. Also, the Fund's losses on transactions involving futures contracts may be deferred rather than being taken into account currently in calculating the Fund's taxable income.

The Fund adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update 2011-11 Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities ("ASU 2011-11"). ASU 2011-11 is intended to enhance disclosure requirements on the offsetting of financial assets and liabilities. Pursuant to ASU 2011-11, an entity is required to disclose both gross and net information for assets and liabilities related to derivatives, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities lending and securities borrowing transactions that are eligible for offset or subject to an enforceable master netting or similar agreement. The Fund's derivative assets and liabilities at fair value by type are reported gross in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The following tables present the Fund's derivative assets and liabilities by counterparty, net of amounts available for offset under a master netting agreement and net of the related collateral received by the Fund for assets and pledged by the Fund for liabilities as of October 31, 2015.

13  Indemnifications: Like many other companies, the Trust's organizational documents provide that its officers ("Officers") and trustees ("Trustees") are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, both in some of its principal service contracts and in the normal course of its business, the Trust enters into contracts that provide indemnifications to other parties for certain types of losses or liabilities. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this could involve future claims against the Trust.

54

14  Other: All net investment income and realized and unrealized capital gains and losses of the Fund are allocated, on the basis of relative net assets, pro rata among its respective classes.

Note B—Investment Management Fees, Administration Fees, Distribution Arrangements, and Other Transactions with Affiliates:

The Fund retains Management as its investment manager under an Investment Management Agreement. For such investment management services, the Fund pays Management a fee at the annual rate of 0.55% of the Fund's average daily net assets.

The Fund retains Management as its administrator under an Administration Agreement. The Fund pays Management an administration fee at the annual rate of 0.06% of its average daily net assets under this agreement. In addition, Institutional Class pays Management an administration fee at the annual rate of 0.09% of its average daily net assets and Class A and Class C each pays Management an administration fee at the annual rate of 0.21% of its average daily net assets, under this agreement. Additionally, Management retains State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street") as its sub-administrator under a Sub-Administration Agreement. Management pays State Street a fee for all services received under the agreement.

Management has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse certain expenses of the Institutional Class, Class A and Class C of the Fund so that the total annual operating expenses of those classes do not exceed the expense limitations as detailed in the following table. These undertakings apply to the Fund's direct expenses and exclude interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, acquired fund fees and expenses, extraordinary expenses, and dividend and interest expenses on short sales, if any; consequently, net expenses may exceed the contractual expense limitations. The Fund has agreed that each of its respective classes will repay Management for fees and expenses waived or reimbursed for that class provided that repayment does not cause that class's annual operating expenses to exceed its contractual expense limitation in place at the time the fees were waived or reimbursed, or the expense limitation in place at the time the Fund repays Management, whichever is lower. Any such repayment must be made within three years after the year in which Management incurred the expense.

During the year ended October 31, 2015, there was no repayment to Management under this agreement.

At October 31, 2015, contingent liabilities to Management under the agreement were as follows:

For the period ended October 31, 2013, voluntary reimbursements for the Institutional Class, Class A and Class C amounted to $8,376, $7 and $11, respectively. These amounts are not subject to recovery by Management. This undertaking was in addition to the contractual undertakings as stated above.

55

Neuberger Berman Fixed Income LLC ("NBFI") and (effective December 1, 2013) Neuberger Berman Europe Limited ("NBEL"), as the sub-advisers to the Fund, are retained by Management to choose the Fund's investments and handle its day-to-day business for the portion of the Fund's assets allocated to each by Management, and each receives a monthly fee paid by Management. As investment manager, Management is responsible for overseeing the investment activities of NBFI and NBEL. Several individuals who are Officers and/or Trustees of the Trust are also employees of NBFI, NBEL and/or Management.

The Fund also has a distribution agreement with Management with respect to each class of shares. Management acts as agent in arranging for the sale of class shares without sales commission or other compensation, except as described below for Class A and Class C shares, and bears advertising and promotion expenses.

However, Management receives fees from Class A and Class C under their distribution plans (each a "Plan", collectively, the "Plans") pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Plans provide that, as compensation for administrative and other services provided to these classes, Management's activities and expenses related to the sale and distribution of these classes, and ongoing services provided to investors in these classes, Management receives from each of these respective classes a fee at the annual rate of 0.25% of Class A's and 1.00% of Class C's average daily net assets. Management receives this amount to provide distribution and shareholder servicing for these classes and pays a portion of it to institutions that provide such services. Those institutions may use the payments for, among other purposes, compensating employees engaged in sales and/or shareholder servicing. The amount of fees paid by each class during any year may be more or less than the cost of distribution and other services provided to that class. FINRA rules limit the amount of annual distribution fees that may be paid by a mutual fund and impose a ceiling on the cumulative distribution fees paid. The Trust's Plans comply with those rules.

Class A shares of the Fund are generally sold with an initial sales charge of up to 4.25%. Class A shares of the Fund are generally sold with no contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC"), except that a CDSC of 1.00% applies to certain redemptions made within 18 months following purchases of $1 million or more without an initial sales charge. Class C shares of the Fund are sold with no initial sales charge and a 1.00% CDSC if shares are sold within one year after purchase.

For the year ended October 31, 2015, Management, acting as underwriter and broker-dealer, received net initial sales charges from the purchase of Class A shares and CDSCs from the redemption of Class A and Class C shares as follows:

For the year ended October 31, 2015, the Fund recorded a capital contribution from Management in the amount of $18,390. This amount was paid in connection with losses incurred in the execution of a trade.

For the year ended October 31, 2014, Management made a voluntary contribution of $15,984 to the Fund. These amounts were paid in connection with losses incurred in the execution of trades.

Note C—Securities Transactions:

During the year ended October 31, 2015, there were purchases and sales of long-term securities (excluding interest rate swaps, cross currency swaps, forward contracts and financial futures) of $181,242,680 and $177,935,990, respectively.

Other: At October 31, 2015, Neuberger Berman Global Allocation Fund, Neuberger Berman Multi-Asset Income Fund and Neuberger Berman Strategic Income Fund, which are also managed by Management, held 0.4%, 0.9% and 70.0%, respectively, of the outstanding shares of the Fund. In addition, at October 31, 2015, an affiliated investor owned 0.05% of the Fund's outstanding shares.

Note E—Lines of Credit:

At October 31, 2015, the Fund was a participant in a syndicated committed, unsecured $700,000,000 line of credit (the "Credit Facility"), to be used only for temporary or emergency purposes. Series of other investment companies managed by Management also participate in this line of credit on substantially the same terms except that some do not have access to the full amount of the Credit Facility. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, the Fund has agreed to pay its share of the annual commitment fee, based on the ratio of its individual net assets to the net assets of all participants at the time the fee is due and payable and the level of its access to the Credit Facility, and interest charged on any borrowing made by the Fund and other costs incurred by the Fund. Because several mutual funds participate in the Credit Facility, there is no assurance that the Fund will have access to all or any part of the $700,000,000 at any particular time. There were no loans outstanding under the Credit Facility at October 31, 2015. During the period from January 9, 2015 (the commencement date of the Credit Facility) through October 31, 2015, the Fund did not utilize this line of credit. The Credit Facility replaced the State Street lines of credit referred to below.

During the reporting period, from November 1, 2014 through January 9, 2015, the Fund was a participant in a committed, unsecured $300,000,000 line of credit with State Street and an uncommitted, unsecured $100,000,000 line of credit with State Street, both to be used only for temporary or emergency purposes. During the period ended October 31, 2015, the Fund did not utilize either line of credit with State Street.

Notes to Financial Highlights

††  Total return based on per share NAV reflects the effects of changes in NAV on the performance of the Fund during each fiscal period and assumes income dividends and other distributions, if any, were reinvested, but does not reflect the effect of sales charges. Results represent past performance and do not indicate future results. Current returns may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Investment returns and principal may fluctuate and shares when redeemed may be worth more or less than original cost. Total return would have been lower if Management had not reimbursed and/or waived certain expenses.

^  The date investment operations commenced.

  Organization expense, which is a non-recurring expense, is included in these ratios on a non-annualized basis.

@  Calculated based on the average number of shares outstanding during each fiscal period.

*  Annualized.

**  Not annualized.

#  Represents the annualized ratios of net expenses to average daily net assets if Management had not reimbursed certain expenses and/or waived a portion of the investment management fee.

a  The voluntary contributions listed in Note B of the Notes to Financial Statements had no impact on the Fund's total returns for the year ended October 31, 2015 and October 31, 2014, respectively.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Neuberger Berman Income Funds and Shareholders of
Neuberger Berman Emerging Markets Debt Fund

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Neuberger Berman Emerging Markets Debt Fund (the "Fund"), one of the series comprising Neuberger Berman Income Funds, including the schedule of investments, as of October 31, 2015, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits 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 and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2015 by correspondence with the custodian and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Neuberger Berman Emerging Markets Debt Fund at October 31, 2015, 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 then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Board Consideration of the Management and Sub-Advisory Agreements

On an annual basis, the Board of Trustees ("Board") of Neuberger Berman Income Funds ("Trust"), including the Trustees who are not "interested persons" of Neuberger Berman Management LLC ("Management") (including its affiliates) or the Trust ("Independent Fund Trustees"), considers whether to continue the management agreement with Management (the "Management Agreement") and the separate sub-advisory agreements between Management and each of Neuberger Berman Fixed Income LLC ("NBFI") and Neuberger Berman Europe Limited ("NBEL") (each a "Sub-Advisory Agreement" and collectively with the Management Agreement, the "Agreements") for Neuberger Berman Emerging Markets Debt Fund (the "Fund"). Throughout the process, the Independent Fund Trustees are advised by counsel that is experienced in Investment Company Act of 1940 matters and that is independent of Management ("Independent Counsel"). At a meeting held on September 8, 2015, the Board, including the Independent Fund Trustees, approved the continuation of the Agreements for the Fund.

In evaluating the Agreements, the Board, including the Independent Fund Trustees, reviewed extensive materials provided by Management in response to questions submitted by the Independent Fund Trustees and Independent Counsel, and met with senior representatives of Management regarding its personnel, operations and financial condition as they relate to the Fund. The annual contract review extends over at least two regular meetings of the Board to ensure that Management, NBFI and NBEL have time to respond to any questions the Independent Fund Trustees may have on their initial review of the materials and that the Independent Fund Trustees have time to consider those responses.

In connection with its deliberations, the Board also considered the broad range of information relevant to the annual contract review that is provided to the Board (including its various standing committees) at meetings throughout the year, including investment performance reports and related portfolio information for the Fund, as well as periodic reports on, among other matters, pricing and valuation; brokerage and execution; compliance; and shareholder and other services provided by Management, NBFI and NBEL and their affiliates. To assist the Board in its deliberations regarding the annual contract review, the Board has established a Contract Review Committee comprised of Independent Fund Trustees, as well as other committees that focus throughout the year on specific areas relevant to the annual contract review, such as Fund performance or compliance matters.

The Independent Fund Trustees received from Independent Counsel a memorandum discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Agreements. During the course of the year and during their deliberations regarding the annual contract review, the Contract Review Committee and the Independent Fund Trustees met with Independent Counsel separately from representatives of Management, NBFI and NBEL.

73

In connection with its approval of the continuation of the Agreements, the Board evaluated the terms of the Agreements, the overall fairness of the Agreements to the Fund and whether the Agreements were in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. The Board considered all factors it deemed relevant with respect to the Fund, including the following factors: (1) the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Management, NBFI and NBEL; (2) the investment performance of the Fund compared to an appropriate market index and a peer group of investment companies; (3) the costs of the services provided and the profit or loss realized by Management and its affiliates from their relationship with the Fund; (4) the extent to which economies of scale have been or might be realized as the Fund grows; and (5) whether fee levels reflect any such potential economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund's shareholders. The Board's determination to approve the continuation of the Agreements was based on a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to the Board throughout the year and specifically in connection with the annual contract review. The Board members did not identify any particular information or factor that was all-important or controlling, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors. The Board focused on the overall costs and benefits of the Agreements to the Fund and, through the Fund, its shareholders.

With respect to the nature, extent and quality of the services provided, the Board considered the investment philosophy and decision-making processes of Management, NBFI and NBEL, and the qualifications, experience, and capabilities of, and the resources available to, the portfolio management personnel of Management, NBFI and NBEL who perform services for the Fund. The Board noted that Management also provides certain administrative services, including fund accounting and compliance oversight. The Board also considered Management's, NBFI's and NBEL's policies and practices regarding brokerage and allocation of portfolio transactions and reviewed the quality of the execution services that Management had provided. The Board also reviewed whether Management, NBFI or NBEL used brokers to execute Fund transactions that provide research and other services to Management, NBFI or NBEL, and the types of benefits potentially derived from such services by Management, NBFI, NBEL, the Fund and other clients of Management, NBFI, and NBEL. The Board also considered that Management's responsibilities include daily management of investment, operational, enterprise, legal, regulatory and compliance risks as they relate to the Fund, and considered information regarding Management's processes for managing risk. In addition, the Board noted the positive compliance history of Management, NBFI and NBEL as no significant compliance problems were reported to the Board with respect to any of the firms. The Board also considered the general structure of the portfolio manager compensation program and whether this structure provides appropriate incentives to act in the best interests of the Fund.

As in past years, the Board also considered the manner in which Management addressed various non-routine matters that arose during the year, some of them a result of developments in the broader fund industry or the regulations governing it. In addition, the Board considered actions taken by Management, NBFI and NBEL in response to recent market conditions, including actions taken in response to regulatory concerns about changes in fixed-income market liquidity and potential volatility, and considered the overall performance of Management, NBFI and NBEL in this context.

With respect to investment performance, the Board considered information regarding the Fund's performance both on an absolute basis and relative to an appropriate benchmark and the average performance of a composite peer group (as constructed by an independent organization) of investment companies pursuing broadly similar strategies. The Board also reviewed performance in relation to certain measures of the degree of investment risk undertaken by the portfolio managers. The Board factored into its evaluation of the Fund's performance the limitations inherent in the methodology for constructing peer groups and determining which investment companies should be included in which peer groups. The Board discussed with Management the Fund's performance. In this regard, the Board noted that performance, especially short-term performance, is only one of the factors that it deems relevant to its consideration of the Fund's Agreements and that, after considering all relevant factors, it may be appropriate to approve the continuation of the Agreements notwithstanding the Fund's underperformance.

With respect to the overall fairness of the Agreements, the Board considered the fee structure for the Fund under the Agreements as compared to a peer group of comparable funds and any fall-out benefits likely to accrue to Management, NBFI, NBEL or their affiliates from their relationship with the Fund. The Board also considered the profitability of Management and its affiliates from their association with the Fund, and year-over-year changes in each of Management's

74

reported expense categories. The Board reviewed a comparison of the Fund's management fee and overall expense ratio to a peer group of comparable funds. The Board noted that the comparative management fee analysis includes, in the Fund's management fee, the separate administrative fee paid to Management, but it was not clear whether this was the case for all funds in the peer group. The Board considered the mean and median of the management fees and expense ratios of the peer group. The Board considered whether specific portfolio management or administration needs contributed to the size of the management fee. In addition, the Board considered the contractual limit on expenses of certain classes of the Fund.

The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, for the Fund's Institutional Class shares, the Fund's contractual management fee was lower than the median, but the actual management fee net of fees waived by Management was higher than the median. The Board looked at the Institutional Class fees as a proxy for all of the Fund's classes. The Board considered that, as compared to its peer group, the Fund's performance for Institutional Class shares was lower than the median for the 1-year period. The Board also considered that, as compared to its benchmark, the Fund's performance for Institutional Class shares was lower for the 1-year period. The Fund was launched in 2013 and therefore does not have intermediate- and long-term performance.

The Board also considered whether there were other funds or separate accounts that were advised or sub-advised by Management or its affiliates with investment objectives, policies and strategies that were similar to those of the Fund. The Board compared the fees charged to the Fund to the fees charged to such funds and/or separate accounts. The Board considered the appropriateness and reasonableness of any differences between the fees charged to the Fund and such funds and/or separate accounts, including any breakpoints, and determined that differences in fees and fee structures were consistent with the management and other services provided. The Board also evaluated any apparent or anticipated economies of scale in relation to the services Management provides to the Fund. The Board considered that the Fund's fee structure does not provide for a reduction of payments resulting from the use of breakpoints, and concluded that fee structure was reasonable in part based on the nature of the Fund and in part based on the expense caps in place. In concluding that the benefits accruing to Management and its affiliates by virtue of their relationship with the Fund were reasonable in light of the costs of providing the investment advisory and other services and the benefits accruing to the Fund, the Board reviewed specific data as to Management's profit or loss on the Fund for a recent period. The Board also considered Management's cost allocation methodology. The Board recognized that Management should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits for services it provides to the Fund and, based on its review, concluded that Management's reported level of profitability on the Fund was reasonable.

Conclusions

In approving the continuation of the Agreements, the Board concluded that the terms of each Agreement are fair and reasonable to the Fund and that approval of the continuation of the Agreements is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. In reaching this determination, the Board considered that Management, NBFI and NBEL could be expected to provide a high level of service to the Fund; that it retained confidence in Management's, NBFI's and NBEL's capabilities to manage the Fund; that the Fund's fee structure appeared to the Board to be reasonable given the nature, extent and quality of services provided; and that the benefits accruing to Management and its affiliates by virtue of their relationship with the Fund were reasonable in light of the costs of providing the investment advisory and other services and the benefits accruing to the Fund. The Board's conclusions may be based in part on its consideration of materials prepared in connection with the approval or continuance of the Agreements in prior years and on the Board's ongoing regular review of Fund performance and operations throughout the year, in addition to material prepared specifically for the most recent annual review of the Agreements.
