Muzinich Funds

Dear Investors:
 
The Muzinich Credit Opportunities Fund (“Credit Opportunities Fund”) finished the year with asset growth from $394,465,645 to $417,324,951, reflecting net outflows, but a strong net investment return of +10.77% for the Supra Institutional Class and +10.60% for the Institutional Class.  The Credit Opportunities Fund underperformed the broad global corporate credit markets as reflected in the 12.83% return of the ICE BofAML Global Corporate and High Yield Index (GI00) hedged to United States Dollar (USD), which is the Credit Opportunities Fund’s primary benchmark.  Since inception from January 3, 2013, the Credit Opportunities Fund’s Supra Institutional Class have gained an annualized net return of 4.93%, net of fees and expenses, while the benchmark has returned a more modest 4.65% annualized.

The Muzinich High Income Floating Rate Fund (“Floating Rate Fund”) finished the year with modest asset growth from $11,146,823 to $11,438,262, reflecting small net distributions and a positive investment gain over the period.  The Fund returned 7.34% over the period net of fees and underperformed the 8.17% gain of its primary benchmark, the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index (CSLLI).
 
Market
 
Recovering from a rough December 2018 in which global risk assets (including high yield and loans) experienced significant declines on Federal Reserve (Fed) tightening, political uncertainty and weaker economic data, investors launched optimistically into what would be a very strong return year across a range of asset classes that do not always correlate. Equities and the most Treasury-sensitive bonds alike surged over the year with a few interruptions starting in January 2019 as the Fed reversed course and announced that it would be “patient” in raising short-term rates going forward, favoring a wait and see approach regarding economic data.  Importantly, the Fed noted that it would be open to adjusting Fed balance sheet normalization based on economic data.  The Fed’s “patience” set the stage for a dramatic rally in both investment grade corporate and high yield.  Loans also generated solid, positive returns, but lagged more duration-sensitive instruments as investors believed the Fed’s rate cycle had, in fact, topped out and even reversed.  Macro headwinds such as a potential U.S. government shutdown in mid-2019, Brexit, and U.S./China trade tensions and weaker economic data (German manufacturing) did occasionally lead to short periods of investor nervousness, but did not meaningfully detract from returns for the year, and did not provide the kind of sustained sell-off of which contrarian investors can take advantage. Combined with an accommodative European Central Bank, Bank of Japan, and several emerging market central banks, the Fed’s dovish stance bolstered fixed income returns.  A temporary inversion of the yield curve over the summer, coupled with weaker economic data in both the U.S. and Europe, raised recession fears – but the inversion passed and a recession did not materialize.  Technicals were generally strong as demand for yield in a low rate environment led to significant buying within both investment grade and high yield.
 
With so many assets performing well in 2019, a few distinct winners and laggards emerged.  Duration paid better than credit.  At the extremes, the market looked something like a “flight to quality market” as Treasuries and the highest-rated investment grade paper delivered stellar performance on falling rates while the lowest-rated high yield under-performed, but this pattern reflected the market’s isolation of weaker energy and commodity credits which found it challenging to find financing over the year despite relatively better energy prices.  Many of these bonds rallied in the last month of the year, bringing returns closer to those of the rest of the high yield market. However, the sector continues to face questions around supply and demand, and even potentially around divestment from some pockets of large institutional investors potentially seeking to address climate change concerns with their investment portfolios.  BBB rated credit performed particularly well in the U.S. as several companies improved their balance sheets to defend or even improve their investment grade ratings.  For investors willing to buy BBB paper in late 2018 amidst a crush of press reports asserting that the large and growing cohort of BBB paper was a recipe for credit downgrades and disappointment, 2019 proved to be a banner year.  In fact, credit has remained a steady, fairly-benign backdrop throughout 2019 with low rates of default and even expected default globally (outside of clearly broadcast scenarios such as those in the U.S. high yield energy sector).  We may be a long way out from 2008’s credit crisis and due for a change in the credit cycle, but investors in 2019 invested with confidence that they have runway remaining.  This was easier, perhaps, coming off 2018’s low base, but could be more challenging in the future as markets are more fully valued.

Performance Factors
 
Muzinich Credit Opportunities Fund
 
In 2019, the Credit Opportunities Fund generated positive performance with limited volatility (below 3%, based on monthly returns over the year) on the back of a strong year across asset classes.  The Fund benefitted from repositioned moves that favored longer duration holdings on the investment grade side of the portfolio, and high quality, shorter duration holdings on the high yield side.  The Fund generated positive performance on an absolute basis every quarter in 2019.  While the Credit Opportunities Fund generated a positive return, it underperformed its benchmark, the ICE BofAML Global Corporate and High Yield Index (GI00).  Relative underperformance in the first half of 2019 was primarily due to the Fund’s lower duration profile versus the benchmark.  However, starting in Q1, the duration of the Credit Opportunities Fund increased with the purchase of longer dated US Treasuries and investment grade corporates.  By Q3, the Credit Opportunities Fund outperformed its indicative benchmark with continued emphasis on longer duration positioning (which served the Credit Opportunities Fund well as spreads

tightened and rates declined globally on macro concerns).  In Q4, the Credit Opportunities Fund outperformed and took advantage of strong market technicals to focus on yield.  By ratings, the Credit Opportunities Fund benefitted throughout the year from allocations early in 2019 to BBB rated bonds of companies we viewed as having substantial assets, liquidity, and management teams committed to deleveraging. On a sector basis, the Credit Opportunities Fund’s investment grade holdings emphasized non-cyclical sectors (e.g. healthcare, food/beverage, cable/satellite TV), while the Credit Opportunities Fund’s high yield holdings benefitted from the avoidance of higher volatility (i.e. CCC’s, energy) and cyclical sectors.  The Credit Opportunities Fund has been well positioned for the late cycle throughout the year and has benefited from its underexposure to cyclical sectors and emphasis on high yield bonds that are more highly rated.
 
We are likely to selectively add high yield exposure (emphasizing the U.S., but also adding Emerging Markets (EM) and European holdings) as spreads are tight but are not expected to widen greatly.  On the investment grade side, the Credit Opportunities Fund’s BBB exposure is expected to increase (mainly U.S. and EM).  While Credit Opportunities Fund positioning for most of 2019 centered around taking advantage of lower rates and tighter spreads, we believe this trend has flattened and are now focused on reducing duration and building yield.  Heading into 2020, the Credit Opportunities Fund’s repositioning is focused on lowering duration with an emphasis on more yield with less duration.
 
Muzinich U.S. High Yield Corporate Bond Fund
 
In this strong U.S. high yield market environment, the U.S. High Yield Fund delivered attractive, mid-teens gross returns exactly in line with those of the broad U.S. high yield market as denoted by the ICE US High Yield Constrained Index (JUC0).  However, this gross performance underperformed the U.S. High Yield Fund’s official benchmark (JUC4) which incorporates only the BB and B rated credits in the U.S. high yield market.  Net performance was further reduced by the U.S. High Yield Fund’s fees and expenses.  Notably, while we had the portfolio invested in about 7% CCC+ and below rated names over the year—a rating band which performed poorly in the market—our credit selection in the space was much better as these holdings contributed just over 1% to the U.S. High Yield Fund’s total return even as the benchmark’s CCC allocation declined slightly in value.  Instead, the U.S. High Yield Fund trailed the benchmark largely through our small allocation to syndicated loans which lagged the high yield rally until very late in the year.  We continue to believe that loans offer significant relative value for their seniority, particularly when compared with high yield bonds of similar credit quality, though these short duration instruments were under-rewarded in our view at year end.  From an industry perspective, we most outperformed the market in the energy sector, where we were modestly underweight, but where our choices delivered better-than-market results on strong credit selection.  Outside of loans and cash, our overweight position in telecommunications delivered strong returns above those of the full market, but beneath the market’s stellar return in this sector.
 
Muzinich Low Duration Fund
 
In 2019, the Low Duration Fund generated strong performance and outperformed its benchmark.  The Low Duration Fund has remained positioned with a significant overweight of the BBB rated cohort that bolstered both relative and absolute performance. We believe corporate fundamentals could see continual improvement, with companies (particularly in the BBB segment of the market) likely to continue to focus on deleveraging as corporate cashflows continue to be supported by historically low funding costs and good access to capital. The Low Duration Fund’s modest high yield allocation, which increased slightly in Q4, benefited from the grab for yield seen in the closing period of the year.  While the Low Duration Fund ended the year close to its 2-year duration limit (with exposure to floating rate instruments remaining below 10%) the Low Duration Fund’s off-benchmark allocation to the 3-5 year cohort notably contributed to outperformance. On a sector basis, the Low Duration Fund’s exposure to banking and diversified financial services bonds contributed most significantly to positive performance, while exposure to select food/beverage bonds (primarily from one idiosyncratic name) detracted from returns.  The Low Duration Fund’s allocations to European banks, the largest sector allocation in the portfolio, comprised 24% at year-end.  We have continued to believe the sector offers attractive and improving fundamentals where balance sheets have strengthened. The Low Duration Fund also benefitted notably from U.S. and U.S. dollar denominated assets as interest rates rallied significantly and spreads tightened (spreads in Europe also tightened, although interest rates rallied much less). In addition, currency hedging costs declined over the year, allowing the Fund to take better advantage of the U.S. dollar market rally.
 
Valuations at year end appeared tight on an historic basis, however negative rates have shifted the reference point for many investors.  With rates likely to remain on hold (or move lower), the carry available in credit, as well as the opportunity to hedge capital in volatile markets, continues to make credit an attractive asset class.

Muzinich High Income Floating Rate Fund
 
In 2019, the Floating Rate Fund generated attractive gross performance just under that of its benchmark, the Credit Suisse Leveraged Loan Index (CSLLI).  However, the Floating Rate Fund got to a similar place in the market through somewhat off market positioning.  Specifically, we have dedicated more of the portfolio to non-US originated loans than the index as part of a strategy to build what we believe is higher carry than the market with lower risk.  European loans, in particular, continue to trade with quite attractive yields competitive with or better in absolute terms for the same risk as U.S. company loans even though the overall U.S. interest rate environment is higher than the negative rates prevalent across much of Europe.  The European loan market has less participation from retail investors than does the U.S. market and we believe this has led to more stable flows and pricing we continue to find relatively attractive.  We note, however, that European loans can take longer to process and settle than U.S. loans, such that we would not have them comprise a whole portfolio.  Through the year, we were also largely overweight both B+ and B- credit, while underweighting the B market segment.  This posture results largely from individual credit selection.  From a sector perspective, we have been quite light in commodity exposure (which is also an insignificant part of the European loan market) and much more significantly invested in healthcare, technology, services, and gaming.  Healthcare suffered some volatility particularly mid-year due to regulatory wrangling, rather than to company fundamentals in our view, and we continue to like the sector.  A few portfolio credits were oversold in our view by the market, but began to gain ground again in December.  We remain optimistic that the market view will catch up to our own views on value, but these changes can be relatively slower in the loan market than the bonds market.
 
Outlook
 
After a strong 2019, can credit still produce returns in 2020?  While spreads are at cycle tights, we believe credit can produce a coupon-like return.  Companies are well capitalized, having refinanced in the recent low rate environment.  We are forecasting a benign default outlook outside of the energy sector.  Energy sector defaults will certainly be impacted by oil prices so it remains to be seen what a potentially higher oil price regime means for energy companies.  Given the strong performance in 2019, are we due for a challenging 2020?  We looked at annual returns since 1998 for the global high yield market (BofA ML: HW00) and found that with the exception of the two years following the 2000 correction, every other down year has been followed by multiple positive years.  2018 was a modest down year and 2019 saw a nice rebound.  Barring macro surprises or a recession, we expect a coupon like return may be possible, suggesting the continuation of the trend of multiple positive years of performance after a down year.
 
In the Funds, we work to balance these near-term opportunities with a healthy dose of caution—and preparation—for the political and economic headwinds likely to face us as this capital cycle continues to age.  We seek to buy risk when it is cheaper and sell when it is higher.  As it can be challenging to achieve perfect timing in this regard, we often prefer to err on the side of early risk reduction.

Opinions expressed are subject to change at any time, are not guaranteed and should not be considered investment advice.
 
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Short-term performance, in particular, is not a good indication of the Funds’ future performance, and an investment should not be made solely on returns.
 
References to other funds should not be interpreted as an offer of these securities.
 
Fund holdings and/or sector allocations are subject to change at any time and are not recommendations to buy or sell any security. Please see the Schedules of Investments for a complete list of holdings.
 
Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investment by the Funds in lower-rated and non-rated securities presents a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher-rated securities. Investments in foreign securities involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. These risks are greater for emerging markets. Derivatives involve risks different from, and in certain cases, greater than the risks presented by more traditional investments. These risks are fully disclosed in the prospectus. Floating rate loans may not be fully collateralized and therefore may decline significantly in value. Each Fund will bear its share of the fees and expenses of investments in underlying funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Shareholders will pay higher expenses than would be the case if making direct investments in underlying funds or ETFs. Because the Funds invest in ETFs, they are subject to additional risks that do not apply to conventional mutual funds, including the risks that the market price of an ETF’s shares may trade at a discount to its net asset value (“NAV”), an active secondary trading market may not develop or be maintained, or trading may be halted by the exchange in which they trade, which may impact a Fund’s ability to sell its shares. The Funds invest in high yield debt instruments which tend to be less liquid than higher quality debt instruments. The Funds may make short sales of securities, which involves the risk that losses may exceed the original amount invested. Please note that while the Funds’ prospectus states that the Funds may use leverage, and that they may make short sales of securities, which involve the risk that losses may exceed the original amount invested, the Funds’ portfolio managers do not anticipate engaging in either practice. The Funds will endeavor to limit price fluctuations caused by the changing relative value of currencies in which the Funds invest, but hedging involves costs and there can be no guarantee that the Funds will be perfectly hedged or that the hedging will work as anticipated. Diversification does not assure a profit, nor does it protect against a loss in a declining market.

Bond ratings are grades given to bonds that indicate their credit quality as determined by a private independent rating service. The firm evaluates a bond issuer’s financial strength, or its ability to pay a bond’s principal and interest in a timely fashion. Ratings are expressed as letters ranging from ‘AAA’ which is the highest grade to ‘D,’ which is the lowest grade. In limited situations when the rating agency has not issued a formal rating, the Advisor will classify the security as non-rated.

Glossary:
 
U.S. Treasury is a fixed-interest U.S. government debt security with a maturity of more than 10 years.
 
Duration is a measure of the expected life of a fixed income security that is used to determine the sensitivity of a security’s price to changes in interest rates.
 
Inversion of the yield curve: The Yield Curve is a line graph that shows what yield investors receive at a given moment for investments in U.S. government debt securities of varying remaining times to maturity.  Typically, investors anticipate receiving higher yields for longer maturity bonds as they expect their long-term investments to be cushioned against inflation.  When the yield curve “inverts” and shorter remaining maturity bonds earn higher yields bonds with longer remaining maturities, it can be a sign that investors believe that there could be deflation caused by a slowing or shrinking economy in the future.
 
Spreads are the difference between the interest rate received on a bond and the interest rate that would be received at the same time on a similar-duration U.S. government debt security.
 
Cashflows are the total amount of money being transferred into and out of a business over a period of time.

1
Variable rate security; rate shown is the rate in effect on December 31, 2019.  An index may have a negative rate.  Interest rate may also be subject to a ceiling or floor.
2
Security exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933.  These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified, institutional buyers.  At December 31, 2019 the value of these securities amounted to $52,185,286 or 7.1% of net assets.

Perpetual call date security. Date shown is next call date.

Bank loans generally pay interest at rates which are periodically determined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. All loans carry a variable rate of interest. These base lending rates are generally (i) the Prime Rate offered by one or more major United States banks, (ii) the lending rate offered by one or more European banks such as the LIBOR or (iii) the Certificate of Deposit rate. Bank loans, while exempt from registration, under the Securities Act of 1933, contain certain restrictions on resale and cannot be sold publicly. Floating rate bank loans often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy.
5
Fixed-to-variable or fixed-to-float bond; rate shown is the rate in effect on December 31, 2019.  An index may have a negative rate.  Interest rate may also be subject to a cap or floor.

Security exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933.  These securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified, institutional buyers.  At December 31, 2019 the value of these securities amounted to $204,874 or 1.8% of net assets.
2
Bank loans generally pay interest at rates which are periodically determined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. All loans carry a variable rate of interest. These base lending rates are generally (i) the Prime Rate offered by one or more major United States banks, (ii) the lending rate offered by one or more European banks such as the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or (iii) the Certificate of Deposit rate. Bank Loans, while exempt from registration, under the Securities Act of 1933, contain certain restrictions on resale and cannot be sold publicly. Floating rate bank loans often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy.
3
Variable rate security; rate shown is the rate in effect on December 31, 2019.  An index may have a negative rate.  Interest rate may also be subject to a cap or floor.

Muzinich Funds

 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2019

 NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION

The Muzinich Credit Opportunities Fund (“Credit Opportunities Fund”), Muzinich U.S. High Yield Corporate Bond Fund (“U.S. High Yield Fund”), Muzinich Low Duration Fund (“Low Duration Fund”) and Muzinich High Income Floating Rate Fund (“Floating Rate Fund”) (each a “Fund,” collectively the “Funds”) are diversified series of shares of beneficial interest of Professionally Managed Portfolios (the “Trust”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end management investment company. The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services—Investment Companies.” The Funds commenced operations on January 3, 2013, March 31, 2016, June 30, 2016 and June 29, 2018, respectively.
 
The Funds offer two classes of shares: Institutional shares, and Supra Institutional shares. Class A shares are not available for purchase. Each class of shares has equal rights as to earnings and assets except that each class bears different distribution and shareholder servicing expenses. Each class of shares has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect just that class. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains/losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets. Currently, the Credit Opportunities Fund offers Supra Institutional and Institutional Class shares, the U.S. High Yield Fund offers Supra Institutional and Institutional Class shares, the Low Duration Fund offers Supra Institutional and Institutional Class shares and the Floating Rate Fund offers Institutional Class shares.
 
The investment objective of the Credit Opportunities Fund is primarily to provide a high level of income and capital appreciation. The investment objective of the U.S. High Yield Fund is to provide a high level of income on a risk-adjusted basis over a full market cycle. The investment objective of the Low Duration Fund is to protect capital and generate positive returns under most market conditions. The investment objective of the Floating Rate Fund is to provide a high level of income with a focus on principal preservation and reduced exposure to changes in interest rates.
 
 NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
 
 
A.
Security Valuation. All equity securities, which may include Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”), Business Development Companies (“BDCs”) and Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”), that are traded on U.S. national or foreign securities exchanges are valued either at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded or the exchange’s official closing price. If, on a particular day, an exchange-traded security does not trade, then the mean between the most recent quoted bid and asked prices will be used. All equity securities, which may include REITs, BDCs and MLPs that are not traded on a listed exchange are valued at the last sale price in the over-the- counter market. If a non-exchange traded security does not trade on a particular day, then the mean between the last quoted closing bid and asked price will be used.

   
Debt securities are valued by using an evaluated mean of the bid and asked prices provided by an independent pricing service. The independent pricing service may use various valuation methodologies including matrix pricing and other analytical pricing models as well as market transactions and dealer quotations. These models generally consider such factors as yields or prices of bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity, ratings and general market conditions. In the absence of a price from a pricing service, securities are valued at their respective fair values as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee.

   
Exchange traded options are valued at the composite price, using the National Best Bid and Offer quotes (“NBBO”). NBBO consists of the highest bid price and lowest ask price across any of the exchanges on which an option is quoted, thus providing a view across the entire U.S. options marketplace. Composite option pricing calculates the mean of the highest bid price and lowest ask price across the exchanges where the option is traded.

   
Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are presented at fair value measured by the difference between the forward exchange rates (“forward rates”) at the dates of entry into the contracts and the forward rates at the reporting date, and such differences are included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

   
Swap contracts, such as credit default swaps, total return swaps, interest rate swaps and currency swaps, are priced by an approved independent pricing service. The independent pricing service includes observable market data inputs in an evaluated valuation methodology.

Muzinich Funds

 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2019 (Continued)

 
Futures contracts are priced by an approved independent pricing service. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price on the exchange on which they are principally traded.

 
Securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued at their respective fair values as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee. When a security is “fair valued,” consideration is given to the facts and circumstances relevant to the particular situation, including a review of various factors set forth in the pricing procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Fair value pricing is an inherently subjective process, and no single standard exists for determining fair value. Different funds could reasonably arrive at different values for the same security. The use of fair value pricing by a fund may cause the net asset value of its shares to differ significantly from the net asset value that would be calculated without regard to such considerations.

 
As described above, the Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:

 
Level 1 –
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access.

 
Level 2 –
Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

 
Level 3 –
Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available; representing the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

 
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

 
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

 
The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments and derivative positions as of December 31, 2019. See the Schedules of Investments for the industry breakouts.

The Funds have provided additional disclosures below regarding derivatives and hedging activity intending to improve financial reporting by enabling investors to understand how and why the Funds use forward contracts and swap contracts (types of derivatives), how they are accounted for, and how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position. The Funds may use derivatives in various ways. The Funds may, but are not required to, use derivatives for risk management purposes or as part of its investment strategies. Derivatives are financial contracts whose values depend on, or are derived from, the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. The Funds may use derivatives to earn income and enhance returns, to hedge or adjust the risk profile of its portfolio, to replace more traditional direct investments and to obtain exposure to otherwise inaccessible markets.

 
The Credit Opportunities Fund’s average notional value of forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2019 was $54,503,393. The Low Duration Fund’s average notional value for forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2019 was $451,841,867. The Floating Rate Fund’s average notional value for forward foreign currency exchange contracts outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2019 was $2,216,456.  The Credit Opportunities Fund entered into swap contract transactions with Barclays Investments, Ltd., Deutsche Bank Trust Co., and Goldman Sachs & Co. through the year, at an average transaction notional value of $9,900,000, $12,212,500, and $10,000,000, respectively.

 
The notional amount for forward foreign currency exchange contracts is calculated based on the currency being sold converted to U.S. dollars. The average notional amount for forward foreign currency exchange contracts is calculated by the dollar value of open contracts at the end of the previous fiscal year and at each quarter end in the current fiscal year. The notional amount for swap contracts is the principal value. The notional amount for futures contracts represents the

60

Muzinich Funds

 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2019 (Continued)

 
U.S. dollar value of the contract as of the day of opening the transaction or latest contract reset date. The average notional amount for swap and futures contracts is based on the monthly notional amounts.

B.
Swap Contracts. A swap, which may be a customized and privately negotiated agreement or a standardized and exchange- traded contract, obligates two parties to exchange a series of cash flows at specified intervals (payment dates) based upon, or calculated by, reference to changes in specified prices or rates for a specified amount of an underlying asset (the “notional” principal amount). Swaps are entered into on a net basis (i.e., the two payment streams are netted out, with a fund receiving or paying, as applicable, only the net amount of the two payments). Examples of such swaps may include, but are not limited to, currency swaps, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, and credit default swaps. Payments received by the Funds from swap agreements will result in taxable income, either as ordinary income or capital gains. Except for currency swaps, the notional principal amount is used solely to calculate the payment streams but is not exchanged. With respect to currency swaps, actual principal amounts of currencies may be exchanged by the counterparties at the initiation, and again upon the termination, of the transaction. The swap market has grown substantially in recent years, with a large number of banks and investment banking firms acting both as principals and as agents utilizing standardized swap documentation. As a result, the swap market has become well-established and relatively liquid.

 
C.
Futures Contracts. Each Fund may purchase or sell futures contracts and options thereon to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities (through index futures or options) or currencies. The purchase of futures contracts may be more efficient or cost effective than actually buying the underlying securities or assets. A futures contract is an agreement that obligates the buyer to buy and the seller to sell a specified quantity of an underlying asset (or settle for cash the value of a contract based on an underlying asset, rate or index) at a specific price on the contract maturity date. Upon entering into a futures contract, each Fund is required to pledge to the counterparty an amount of cash, U.S. Government securities or other high quality debt securities equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange or the broker. Pursuant to a contract entered into with a futures commission merchant, each Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the firm an amount of cash equal to the cumulative daily fluctuation in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded by the Funds as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the Funds record a gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Each Fund will cover its current obligations under futures contracts by the segregation of liquid assets or by entering into offsetting transactions or owning positions covering its obligations. The Funds’ use of futures contracts may involve risks that are different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities or other more traditional instruments. These risks include the risk that the value of the futures contracts may not correlate perfectly, or at all, with the value of the assets, reference rates, or indexes that they are designed to track. Other risks include: an illiquid secondary market for a particular instrument and possible exchange-imposed price fluctuation limits, either of which may make it difficult or impossible to close out a position when desired; the risk that adverse price movements in an instrument can result in a loss substantially greater than the Funds’ initial investment in that instrument (in some cases, the potential loss is unlimited); and the risk that a counterparty will not perform its obligations. The Funds did not have futures contracts activity during the year ended December 31, 2019.

 
D.
Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Credit Opportunities Fund, Low Duration Fund and Floating Rate Fund entered into transactions to purchase or sell foreign currencies to protect the U.S. dollar value of the underlying non-U.S. portfolio securities against the effect of possible adverse movements in foreign exchange rates. When entering into a forward foreign currency exchange contract, the Funds agree to receive or deliver a fixed quantity of foreign currency for an agreed-upon price on an agreed future date. The unrealized gain or loss on the contracts and the forward rates at the reporting date is included in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

   
Realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in the Statements of Operations. The U.S. High Yield Fund did not have forward foreign currency exchange contract activity during the year ended December 31, 2019.

 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2019 (Continued)

 
E.
Foreign Currency. Foreign currency amounts, other than the cost of investments, are translated into U.S. dollar values based upon the spot exchange rate prior to the close of regular trading. The cost of investments is translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates the portfolio securities were acquired. The Funds include foreign exchange gains and losses from interest receivable and other foreign currency denominated payables and receivables in “Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency translation” and “Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency translation.” The Funds do not isolate that portion of realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in the market price of securities for financial reporting purposes. Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on investments are thus included in “Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments” and “Net realized gain (loss) on investments” as shown in the Statements of Operations.

 
F.
Federal Income Taxes. Each Fund has elected to be taxed as a “regulated investment company” and intends to distribute substantially all taxable income to its shareholders and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes or excise taxes has been made.

   
In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated investment companies, each Fund intends to declare each year as dividends in each calendar year at least 98.0% of its net investment income (earned during the calendar  year) and at least 98.2% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts, if any, from prior years.

   
Net capital losses incurred after October 31, and within the taxable year, are deemed to arise on the first business day of each Fund’s next taxable year.

   
As of December 31, 2019, the Credit Opportunities Fund, U.S. High Yield Fund, Low Duration Fund and Floating Rate Fund deferred, on a tax basis, post-October losses of $—, $—, $3,645,953 and $16,871, respectively.

   
As of December 31, 2019, the Credit Opportunities Fund, Low Duration Fund and Floating Rate Fund did not have any capital loss carryovers. The U.S. High Yield Fund had short-term capital loss carryovers of $202,168 and long-term capital loss carryovers of $282,243, with unlimited expiration.

   
As of December 31, 2019, the Funds did not have any tax positions that did not meet the “more likely-than-not” threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Generally, tax authorities can examine all the tax returns filed for the last three years. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; however, the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially.

 
G.
Securities Transactions and Investment Income. Investment securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses realized on sales of securities are determined on a specific identification basis. Discounts/premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted/amortized over the life of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Other non-cash dividends are recognized as investment income at the fair value of the property received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Trust’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

 
H.
Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income for the Credit Opportunities Fund normally are declared and paid on a quarterly basis. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income for the U.S. High Yield Fund, Low Duration Fund and Floating Rate Fund normally are declared and paid on a monthly basis. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions to shareholders from net realized gains for the Funds normally are declared and paid on an annual basis, if applicable.

 
I.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 
J.
Share Valuation. The net asset value (“NAV”) per share of each Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by each Fund, plus cash or other assets, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) by the total number of shares outstanding for each Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. The Funds’ shares will not be priced on

63

Muzinich Funds

 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2019 (Continued)

   
the days on which the NYSE is closed for trading. The offering and redemption price per share for each Fund is equal to each Fund’s net asset value per share. The Funds charge a 1% redemption fee on shares held less than 90 days. The fee is deducted from the redemption proceeds otherwise payable to the shareholder. The Funds will retain the fee charged as paid-in capital and such fees become part of that Fund’s daily NAV calculation.

 
K.
Guarantees and Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

 
L.
Illiquid Securities: Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Funds have adopted a Board of Trustees approved Liquidity Risk Management Program (“LRMP”) that requires, among other things, that each Fund limit its illiquid investments that are assets to no more than 15% of net assets. An illiquid investment is any security which may not reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. If at any time Muzinich & Co., Inc. (the “Advisor”) determines that the value of illiquid investments held by a Fund exceeds 15% of its net asset value, the Advisor will take such steps as it considers appropriate to reduce them as soon as reasonably practicable in accordance with the Funds’ written LRMP.

 
M.
Variable and Floating Rate Securities. The Funds may invest in variable and floating rate securities. Fixed income securities that have variable or floating rates of interest may, under certain limited circumstances, have varying principal amounts. These securities pay interest at rates that are adjusted periodically according to a specified formula, usually with reference to one or more interest rate indices or market interest rates (the “underlying index”). The interest paid on these securities is a function primarily of the underlying index upon which the interest rate adjustments are based. These adjustments minimize changes in the market value of the obligation. Similar to fixed rate debt instruments, variable and floating rate instruments are subject to changes in value based on changes in market interest rates or changes in the issuer’s creditworthiness. The rate of interest on securities may be tied to U.S. Government Securities or indices on those securities as well as any other rate of interest or index.

   
Variable and floating rate demand notes of corporations are redeemable upon a specified period of notice. These obligations include master demand notes that permit investment of fluctuating amounts at varying interest rates under direct arrangements with the issuer of the instrument. The issuer of these obligations often has the right, after a given period, to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the obligations upon a specified number of days’ notice.

   
Certain securities may have an initial principal amount that varies over time based on an interest rate index, and, accordingly, a Fund might be entitled to less than the initial principal amount of the security upon the security’s maturity. A Fund intends to purchase these securities only when the Advisor believes the interest income from the instrument justifies any principal risks associated with the instrument. The Advisor may attempt to limit any potential loss of principal by purchasing similar instruments that are intended to provide an offsetting increase in principal. There can be no assurance that the Advisor will be able to limit the effects of principal fluctuations and, accordingly, a Fund may incur losses on those securities even if held to maturity without issuer default.

 
N.
When-Issued Securities and Forward Commitments. The Funds may purchase securities offered on a “when-issued” and “forward commitment” basis (including a delayed delivery basis). Securities purchased on a “when-issued” or “forward commitment basis” are securities not available for immediate delivery despite the fact that a market exists for those securities. A purchase is made on a “delayed delivery” basis when the transaction is structured to occur sometime in the future.

   
When these transactions are negotiated, the price, which is generally expressed in yield terms, is fixed at the time the commitment is made, but delivery and payment for the securities take place at a later date. Normally, the settlement date occurs within two months after the transaction, but delayed settlements beyond two months may be negotiated. During the period between a commitment and settlement, no payment is made for the securities purchased by the purchaser and, thus, no interest accrues to the purchaser from the transaction. At the time a Fund makes the commitment to purchase securities on a when-issued basis or forward commitment, the Fund will record the transaction as a purchase and thereafter reflect the value each day of such securities in determining its NAV. No when-issued or forward commitments will be made by a Fund if, as a result, more than 5% of the Fund’s total assets would be committed to such transactions.

 
O.
Restricted Cash. Restricted cash represents amounts that are held by third parties under certain of the Funds’ derivative transactions. Such cash is excluded from cash in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2019 (Continued)

 
P.
Offsetting Agreements. The Funds may be subject to netting arrangements, which govern the terms of certain transactions with counterparties. The arrangements allow the Funds to close out and net its total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a default with respect to all transactions governed under a single agreement with a counterparty.

Q.
Reclassification of Capital Accounts. U.S. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting.  These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share.  These differences are primarily due to the tax treatment of foreign currency, forward foreign currency exchange contracts and interest on swap contracts.  For the year ended December 31, 2019, no adjustments were made.

 
R.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13 Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework— Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which changes the fair value measurement disclosure requirements of Topic 820. The amendments in ASU No. 2018-13 are the result of a broader disclosure  project called FASB Concept Statement, Conceptual Framework for Financial
65

Muzinich Funds

 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2019 (Continued)

   
Reporting—Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements. The objective and primary focus of the project are to improve the effectiveness of disclosures in the notes to financial statements by facilitating clear communication of the information required by GAAP that is most important to users of the financial statements.  ASU No. 2018-13 is effective for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted for any eliminated or modified disclosures upon issuance of ASU No. 2018-13. Management has chosen to early adopt the eliminated or modified disclosures.

 
S.
Subsequent Events. In preparing these financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued. On November 25, 2019, U.S. Bancorp, the parent company of Quasar Distributors, LLC (“Quasar”), the Funds’ distributor, announced that it had signed a purchase agreement to sell Quasar to Foreside Financial Group, LLC (“Foreside”) such that Quasar will become a wholly-owned broker-dealer subsidiary of Foreside.  The transaction is expected to close by the end of March 2020. Quasar will remain the Funds’ distributor at the close of the transaction, subject to Board approval.
 
 NOTE 3 – COMMITMENTS AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Advisor provides the Funds with investment management services under an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”). Under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor furnishes all investment advice, office space, facilities, and most of the personnel needed by each Fund. As compensation for its services, the Advisor is entitled to receive a monthly fee. For the Credit Opportunities Fund, the Advisor is entitled to a monthly fee at the annual rate of 0.60% based upon the average daily net assets of the Fund. For the U.S. High Yield Fund, the Advisor is entitled to a monthly fee at the annual rate of 0.55% based upon the average daily net assets of the Fund. For the Low Duration Fund, the Advisor is entitled to a monthly fee at the annual rate of 0.45% based upon the average daily net assets of the Fund. For the Floating Rate Fund, the Advisor is entitled to a monthly fee at the annual rate of 0.50% based upon the average daily net assets of the Fund. The investment advisory fees incurred by the Funds for the year ended December 31, 2019, are disclosed in the Statements of Operations. The investment advisory fees incurred are paid monthly to the Advisor, net of any monthly waiver or reimbursement discussed below.
 
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive its fees and reimburse certain expenses (excluding taxes, leverage interest, portfolio transaction expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses, and extraordinary expenses) to limit total expenses for Institutional Shares and Supra Institutional Shares to 0.70% and 0.60%, respectively, of the Credit Opportunities Fund’s average daily net assets, Class A Shares, Institutional Shares and Supra Institutional Shares to 0.93%, 0.68%, and 0.58%, respectively, of the U.S. High Yield Fund’s average daily net assets, Class A Shares, Institutional Shares and Supra Institutional Shares to 0.85%, 0.60%, and 0.50%, respectively, of the Low Duration Fund’s average daily net assets and Class A Shares, Institutional Shares and Supra Institutional Shares to 0.90%, 0.65%, and 0.55%, respectively, of the Floating Rate Fund’s average net assets. The Operating Expenses Limitation Agreements have an indefinite term and may be terminated at any time, and without payment of any penalty, by the Board, on behalf of the Funds, upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to the Advisor. Any fees waived and/or Fund expenses absorbed by the Advisor pursuant to an agreed-upon expense cap shall be reimbursed by the Funds to the Advisor, if so requested by the Advisor, any time before the end of the third year following the fee waiver and/or expense absorption, provided the aggregate amount of the Funds’ current operating expenses for such year does not exceed the lesser expense cap in place at the time of waiver or at the time of reimbursement. The Funds must pay their current ordinary operating expenses before the Advisor is entitled to any reimbursement of fees and/or expenses. Any such reimbursement is also contingent upon the Board’s review and approval. The amounts of fees waived and expenses absorbed by the Advisor during the year ended December 31, 2019, are disclosed in the Statements of Operations.  Any amount due from the Advisor is paid monthly to the Funds, if applicable.
 
As of December 31, 2019, the remaining cumulative amounts that may be recouped by the Advisor on behalf of the Funds are shown in the following tables. The Advisor may recapture a portion of the unreimbursed amounts no later than the dates as stated.

The Funds have adopted a Distribution Plan (the “Plan”) in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to Class A shares. The Plan provides that each Fund may pay a fee to the Distributor, at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class A shares. No distribution fees are paid by Supra Institutional or Institutional Class shares. These fees may be used by the Distributor to provide compensation for sales support, distribution activities, or shareholder servicing activities. Distribution fees incurred by the Credit Opportunities Fund during the period ended December 27, 2019, are disclosed in the Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2019, Class A shares are not offered for the U.S. High Yield Fund, Low Duration Fund and Floating Rate Fund.

 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders of Muzinich Funds and
The Board of Trustees of Professionally Managed Portfolios
 
Opinion on the Financial Statements
 
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Muzinich Credit Opportunities Fund, Muzinich U.S. High Yield Corporate Bond Fund (“U.S. High Yield Fund”), Muzinch Low Duration Fund (“Low Duration Fund”), and Muzinich High Income Floating Rate Fund (“Floating Rate Fund”) (collectively, the “Funds”), each a series of Professionally Managed Portfolios, including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended (with respect to Floating Rate Fund, for the year then ended and for the period June 29, 2018 to December 31, 2018), the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended (with respect to U.S. High Yield Fund, for each of the three years in the period then ended and for the period March 31, 2016 to December 31, 2016; with respect to Low Duration Fund, for each of the three years in the period then ended and for the period June 30, 2016 to December 31, 2016; with respect to Floating Rate Fund, for the year then ended and for the period June 29, 2018 to December 31, 2018), and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).  In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of December 31, 2019, the results of their operations for the year then ended, and the changes in their net assets and financial highlights for the periods indicated above, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
Basis for Opinion
 
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits.  We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.  We have served as the auditor of one or more of the funds in the Trust since 1995.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.  The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, 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.
 
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks.  Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2019 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or through other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were unable to be obtained.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 EXPENSE EXAMPLES For the Six Months Ended December 31, 2019 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, shareholder service fees, and other Fund expenses.  These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.  These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2019 – December 31, 2019).
 
Actual Expenses
 
The “Actual” lines for each respective class of the following tables provide information about actual account values based on actual returns and actual expenses.  You will be assessed fees for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks and stop payment orders at prevailing rates charged by Fund Services, the Funds’ transfer agent.  If you request that a redemption be made by wire transfer, the Funds’ transfer agent currently charges a $15.00 fee.  The Funds charge a redemption fee equal to 1.00% of the net amount of the redemption if you redeem shares within 90 calendar days after you purchase them.  To the extent the Funds invest in shares of other investment companies as part of their strategies, you will indirectly bear your proportionate share of any fees and expenses charged by the underlying funds in which the Funds invest in addition to the expenses of the Funds.  Actual expenses of the underlying funds may vary.  These expenses are not included in the following examples.
 
The following examples include, but are not limited to, investment advisory fees, shareholder servicing fees, fund accounting fees, fund administration fees, custody fees, and transfer agent fees.  However, the following examples do not include portfolio trading commissions and related expenses.  You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period.  Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading titled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
 
The “Hypothetical” lines for each respective class of the following tables provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ 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 Funds and other funds.  To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.  Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees.  Therefore, each hypothetical line of the tables 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 transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

 APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited)

MUZINICH CREDIT OPPORTUNITIES FUND
MUZINICH U.S. HIGH YIELD CORPORATE BOND FUND
MUZINICH LOW DURATION FUND
MUZINICH HIGH INCOME FLOATING RATE FUND
 
At a meeting held on August 22, 2019, the Board (which is comprised of five persons, all of whom are Independent Trustees as defined under the Investment Company Act) considered and approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between Professionally Managed Portfolios (the “Trust”) and Muzinich and Co., Inc. (the “Advisor”) for each of the Muzinich Credit Opportunities Fund, the Muzinich U.S. High Yield Corporate Bond Fund, the Muzinich Low Duration Fund and the Muzinich High Income Floating Rate Fund (each a “Fund,” and together, the “Funds”).  At this meeting and at a prior meeting held on May 21, 2019, the Board received and reviewed substantial information regarding the Funds, the Advisor and the services provided by the Advisor to the Funds under the Advisory Agreement.  This information, together with the information provided to the Board throughout the course of the year, formed the primary (but not exclusive) basis for the Board’s determinations.  Below is a summary of the factors considered by the Board and the conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Advisory Agreement:
 
 
1.
The nature, extent and quality of the services provided and to be provided by the Advisor under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the Advisor’s overall services provided to the Funds as well as its specific responsibilities in all aspects of day-to-day investment management of the Funds.  The Board considered the qualifications, experience and responsibilities of the portfolio managers, as well as the responsibilities of other key personnel of the Advisor involved in the day-to-day activities of the Funds.  The Board also considered the resources and compliance structure of the Advisor, including information regarding its compliance program, its chief compliance officer and the Advisor’s compliance record, as well as the Advisor’s cybersecurity program, business continuity plan, and risk management process.  The Board also considered the prior relationship between the Advisor and the Trust, as well as the Board’s knowledge of the Advisor’s operations, and noted that during the course of the prior year they had met with certain personnel of the Advisor in person to discuss fund performance and investment outlook, as well as, various marketing and compliance topics.  The Board concluded that the Advisor had the quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment processes and compliance policies and procedures essential to performing its duties under the Advisory Agreement and that they were satisfied with the nature, overall quality and extent of such management services.

 
2.
The Funds’ historical performance and the overall performance of the Advisor.  In assessing the quality of the portfolio management delivered by the Advisor, the Board reviewed the performance of each Fund on both an absolute basis, and in comparison to its peer funds utilizing Morningstar classifications and appropriate securities market benchmarks, all for periods ended March 31, 2019. While the Board considered both short-term and long-term performance, it placed greater emphasis on longer term performance.  When reviewing each Fund’s performance against its comparative peer group universe, the Board took into account that the investment objective and strategies of each Fund, as well as its level of risk tolerance, may differ significantly from funds in its respective peer universe.

   
For the Muzinich Credit Opportunities Fund, the Board noted that the Fund outperformed its peer group median for the one-year and five-year periods and underperformed for the three-year period.  The Board also considered the outperformance of the Fund against its broad-based securities market benchmark for the one-year, three-year and five-year periods.  The Board noted the Fund’s slight outperformance compared to the Advisor’s similarly managed account composite for the one-year and three-year and slight underperformance for the five-year period ended March 31, 2019 and the reasons given by the Advisor for the differences.

   
For the Muzinich U.S. High Yield Corporate Bond Fund, the Board noted the Fund outperformed its peer group median for the one-year period and underperformed for the three-year period.  The Board noted that the Fund outperformed its broad-based securities market benchmark for the one-year period and underperformed for the three-year period.  The Board also noted the Fund’s underperformance compared to the Advisor’s similarly managed account composite for the one-year and three-year periods ended March 31, 2019 and the reasons given by the Advisor for the differences.

   
For the Muzinich Low Duration Fund, the Board noted the Fund outperformed its peer group median for the one-year period.  The Board noted that the Fund outperformed its broad-based securities market benchmark for the one-year period.  The Board also noted the Fund’s outperformance compared to the Advisor’s similarly managed account composite for the one-year period ended March 31, 2019 and the reasons given by the Advisor for the differences. In considering the performance of the Fund, the Board noted that the Fund had less than three years of operations.

Muzinich Funds

 APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (Continued)

   
For the Muzinich High Income Floating Rate Fund, which commenced operations on June 29, 2018, the Board noted the Fund’s short period of operations.

 
3.
The costs of the services provided by the Advisor and the structure of the Advisor’s fees under the Advisory Agreement.  In considering the advisory fee and total fees and expenses of each Fund, the Board reviewed comparisons to the peer funds and similarly managed accounts for other types of clients advised by the Advisor, as well as all expense waivers and reimbursements.  When reviewing fees charged to other similarly managed accounts, the Board took into account the type of account and the differences in the management of that account that might be germane to the difference, if any, in the fees charged to such accounts.

   
For the Muzinich Credit Opportunities Fund, the Board noted that the Advisor had contractually agreed to maintain an annual expense ratio of 0.95%, 0.70% and 0.60% for the Fund’s Class A Shares, Institutional Shares and Supra Institutional Shares, respectively (the “Expense Caps”).  The Board noted that the Fund’s advisory fee was above to the peer group median and average.  The Board also noted the net expense ratio (less Rule 12b-1 fees) was below its peer group median and average.  The Board considered that the fees charged to similarly managed separate account clients and a UCITs fund were higher or lower than those charged to the Muzinich Credit Opportunities Fund and that there were a number of factors accounting for those differences. The Board concluded that the fees paid to the Advisor were fair and reasonable in light of the comparative performance and advisory fee information.

   
For the Muzinich U.S. High Yield Corporate Bond Fund, the Board noted that the Advisor had contractually agreed to maintain an annual expense ratio of 0.93%, 0.68% and 0.58% for the Fund’s Class A Shares, Institutional Shares and Supra Institutional Shares, respectively (the “Expense Caps”).  The Trustees also noted that the advisory fee and net expense ratio (less Rule 12b-1 fees) were lower than its peer group median and average.  The Board considered that the fees charged to similarly managed separate account clients and a UCITs fund were higher or lower than those charged to the Muzinich U.S. High Yield Corporate Bond Fund and that there were a number of factors accounting for those differences. The Board concluded that the fees paid to the Advisor were fair and reasonable in light of the comparative performance and advisory fee information.

   
For the Muzinich Low Duration Fund, the Board noted that the Advisor had contractually agreed to maintain an annual expense ratio of 0.85%, 0.60% and 0.50% for the Fund’s Class A Shares, Institutional Shares and Supra Institutional Shares, respectively (the “Expense Caps”).  The Trustees also noted that the advisory fee and net expense ratio (less Rule 12b-1 fees) were lower than its peer group median and average.  The Board considered that the fees charged to similarly managed separate account clients and a UCITs fund were higher or lower than those charged to the Muzinich Low Duration Fund and that there were a number of factors accounting for those differences. The Board concluded that the fees paid to the Advisor were fair and reasonable.

   
For the Muzinich High Income Floating Rate Fund, the Board noted that the Advisor had contractually agreed to maintain an annual expense ratio of 0.90%, 0.65% and 0.55% for the Fund’s Class A Shares, Institutional Shares and Supra Institutional Shares, respectively (the “Expense Caps”).  The Trustees also noted that the advisory fee and net expense ratio (less Rule 12b-1 fees) were lower than its peer group median and average.  The Board considered that the fees charged to similarly managed separate account clients and a UCITs fund were higher or lower than those charged to the Muzinich High Income Floating Rate Fund and that there were a number of factors accounting for those differences. The Board concluded that the fees paid to the Advisor were fair and reasonable.

 
4.
Economies of Scale.  The Board also considered whether economies of scale were being realized by the Advisor that should be shared with shareholders.  The Board noted that the Advisor has contractually agreed to reduce its advisory fees or reimburse Fund expenses so that each Fund does not exceed its specified Expense Caps.  The Board noted that at current asset levels, it did not appear that there were additional significant economies of scale being realized by the Advisor that should be shared with shareholders and concluded that it would continue to monitor economies of scale in the future as circumstances changed and assuming asset levels continued to increase.

The profits to be realized by the Advisor and its affiliates from their relationship with the Funds.  The Board reviewed the Advisor’s financial information and took into account both the direct benefits and the indirect benefits to the Advisor from advising the Funds.  The Board considered the profitability to the Advisor from its relationship with the Funds and considered any additional benefits derived by the Advisor from its relationship with the Funds, including Rule 12b-1

 APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (Continued)

 
distribution fees for Class A Shares (which are currently only offered for the Muzinich Credit Opportunities Fund1) and particularly benefits to be received in exchange for shareholder servicing fees on Class A and Institutional Class shares paid to the Advisor.  The Board also reviewed information regarding fee offsets for separate accounts invested in the Funds and determined that the Advisor was not receiving an advisory fee both at the separate account and at the Fund level for these accounts, and as a result was not receiving additional fall-out benefits from these relationships.  Similarly, the Board also considered that, to the extent any of the Funds were invested in another Muzinich Fund, the Advisor was not receiving an advisory fee from both Funds on those assets.  After such review, the Board determined that the profitability to the Advisor with respect to the Advisory Agreement was not excessive, and that the Advisor had maintained adequate financial resources to support the services it provides to the Funds.

No single factor was determinative of the Board’s decision to approve the continuance of the Advisory Agreement, but rather the Board based its determination on the total combination of information available to them.  Based on a consideration of all the factors in their totality, the Board determined that the advisory arrangements with the Advisor, including the advisory fee, were fair and reasonable.  The Board therefore determined that the continuance of the Advisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders.

Since the timing of the Board’s review in August 2019, the Muzinich Credit Opportunities Fund closed its Class A shares effective December 27, 2019.  Accordingly, none of the Muzinich Funds currently offer Class A shares.

The audit committee has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures that require the audit committee to pre‑approve all audit and non‑audit services of the registrant, including services provided to any entity affiliated with the registrant.

All of the principal accountant’s hours spent on auditing the registrant’s financial statements were attributed to work performed by full‑time permanent employees of the principal accountant.

The following table indicates the non-audit fees billed or expected to be billed by the registrant’s accountant for services to the registrant and to the registrant’s investment adviser (and any other controlling entity, etc.—not sub-adviser) for the last two years.  The audit committee of the board of trustees/directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant's investment adviser is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence and has concluded that the provision of such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant’s independence.
