A yield curve is a graph that plots bond yields vs. maturities, at a set point in time, assuming the bonds have equal credit quality. In the U.S., the yield curve generally refers to that of Treasuries.
 
Treasuries (including bonds, notes, and bills) are securities sold by the federal government to consumers and investors to fund its operations. They are all backed by "the full faith and credit of the United States government,” and thus are considered free of default risk.
 
All currency figures are shown in USD.

Spread is the difference in yield between a risk-free asset such as a U.S. Treasury bond and another security with the same maturity but of lesser quality.
 
Duration measures the sensitivity of a fixed income security’s price (or the aggregate market value of a portfolio of fixed income securities) to changes in interest rates. Fixed income securities with longer durations generally have more volatile prices than those of comparable quality with shorter durations.
 
A basis point is a unit of measure used in finance to describe the percentage change in the value or return of a financial instrument. One basis point is equal to 1/100th of 1% or 0.01% (0.0001).
 
Investment grade/non-investment grade (high yield) categories and credit ratings breakdowns are based on ratings from Standard and Poor’s, which is a private independent rating service that assigns grades to bonds to represent their credit quality. The issues are evaluated based on such factors as the bond issuer’s financial strength and its ability to pay a bond’s principal and interest in a timely fashion. Standard and Poor’s ratings are expressed as letters ranging from ‘AAA’, which is the highest grade, to ‘D’, which is the lowest grade. A rating of BBB- or higher is considered investment grade and a rating below BBB- is considered non-investment grade.

Letter from the Investment Teams

April 15, 2024
 
The fiscal year ending March 31, 2024 was a favorable stretch in the economy, which was a refreshing change compared to the turmoil of the previous fiscal year, and also somewhat unexpected. Markets were on edge at the start of the period, as both inflation and interest rates were elevated, and most economists were anticipating some sort of slowdown.
 
Instead, the economy found its footing, fueled largely by a strong labor market. Unemployment remained below 4% for the entire fiscal year, which boosted both consumer spending and corporate profits. In addition, inflation continued to moderate, though not as quickly as investors hoped, particularly near the end of the period.
 
As expected, equity markets reacted well to the improving conditions, especially in the final two fiscal quarters. During that stretch, the S&P 500 was up 23.5%, representing the vast majority of the trailing 12-month return of 29.9%. On the other hand, the good economic news caused 10-Year U.S. Treasury yields to increase (because recession fears declined), which translated into weak returns for the investment grade Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.
 
Over the short to medium term, we expect the current economic environment to persist, and we do not anticipate significant Fed rate cuts. As such, we intend to maintain our present portfolio positioning, which has been working well, and we will reassess if conditions change. For more information about each fund’s performance, outlook, and positioning, please see the Portfolio Managers’ Review sections.
 
Please let us know if you have any questions. If you are not currently receiving our quarterly shareholder letters by email and would like to, please email contact@osterweis.com or call (800) 700-3316.
 
Sincerely,

Osterweis Fund | Portfolio Managers’ Review

Performance Summary
 
For the period of April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024, the Osterweis Fund (the Fund) generated a total return of 26.94% versus 29.88% for the S&P 500 Index. (Please see standardized performance in the table following this review.)
 
Market Review
 
Equity markets rallied during much of the past fiscal year, particularly in the third and fourth fiscal quarters. This was a welcome change from the previous fiscal year, which featured elevated volatility and negative returns due to a combination of inflation and interest rate hikes.
 
Investor sentiment improved throughout the period as the economy continued its post-pandemic recovery and the Fed paused its tightening program. Inflation continued to decelerate, and the labor market remained robust. Low unemployment, combined with the rising equity market, created a wealth effect that contributed to strong consumer spending despite the higher rate environment.
 
In addition, enthusiasm around artificial intelligence drove equities higher, with most of the gains going to the so-called Magnificent 7, the mega cap technology companies atop the S&P 500. Those seven stocks had a disproportionate impact on the index, causing the cap-weighted version of the S&P 500 to substantially outperform the equal-weighted version (as well as most equity portfolios that did not include those companies).
 
Portfolio Review
 
Our focus on Quality Growth companies worked well during the past fiscal year, as we have been targeting businesses with durable competitive advantages, significant free cash flow, and improving revenues/margins. In addition, our portfolio companies have reasonable levels of debt, which helped them weather the challenge of higher interest rates.
 
For the 12 months ending March 31, 2024, the Fund delivered strong absolute performance but modestly trailed the S&P 500. Our equities slightly lagged the index, and our residual cash was also a small drag on our relative performance.
 
Our security selection was mildly additive to our performance versus the benchmark. Our picks in the Consumer Discretionary sector were the most beneficial, followed by Financials, Industrials, Real Estate, and Information Technology. On the downside, our picks in Materials and Consumer Staples hurt our relative performance the most, followed by Health Care and Communication Services.
 
Our sector weighting detracted a little from our relative performance, offsetting the positive impact of our security selection. Our underweight to Communication Services was the biggest drag, as the sector easily outperformed the overall index. Our overweights to Real Estate, Consumer Staples, and Materials were also a headwind, as each sector underperformed the overall index. The absence of both Utilities and Energy in the portfolio boosted our relative performance, as these two sectors significantly lagged the index.
 
Outlook & Portfolio Positioning
 
Despite elevated rates and an inverted yield curve, the economy generally improved during the past fiscal year, and barring an exogenous event we are anticipating more of the same in the near-to-medium term. Unfortunately, inflation remains stickier than the Fed would like, which has reduced the likelihood of aggressive Fed rate cuts this year.
 
We continue to believe our Quality Growth approach is well suited to the current environment, as our portfolio contains a mix of businesses that benefit from both cyclical economic forces and secular tailwinds. If the economy remains healthy, as we expect, our cyclical companies are well positioned to deliver solid returns and boost our upside. On the other hand, if the economy weakens, our secular growth companies should serve as a ballast and limit our downside.

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.
 
The Osterweis Fund may invest in medium and smaller sized companies, which involve additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility. The Fund may invest in foreign and emerging market securities, which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. These risks may increase for emerging markets. The Fund may invest in Master Limited Partnerships, which involve risk related to energy prices, demand and changes in tax code. The Fund may invest in debt securities that are un-rated or rated below investment grade. Lower-rated securities may present an increased possibility of default, price volatility or illiquidity compared to higher-rated securities. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities.

Strategic Income Fund | Portfolio Managers’ Review

Performance Summary
 
For the 12-month period ending March 31, 2024, the Osterweis Strategic Income Fund (the Fund) generated a total return of 12.10%, substantially outperforming the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the Agg), which returned 1.70% over the same period. (Please see standardized performance in the table following this review.) The Fund also outperformed the Bloomberg U.S. Universal Bond Index (the Univ), which returned 2.67% over the same period.1
 
Market Review
 
Although the past fiscal year was favorable for the equity markets, it was a rough period for investment grade fixed income. The same factors that propelled stocks higher were headwinds for investment grade bonds. Specifically, the improving economy and a strong labor market reduced recession fears, which caused 10-year U.S. Treasury yields to rise. Additionally, near the end of the fiscal year, inflation began moderating more slowly than investors had been hoping, which decreased the likelihood of Fed rate cuts in the near term. This put additional pressure on the long end of the curve, which also hurt the investment grade market.
 
High yield bonds fared better, as they tend to be more correlated with the economy and the stock market. In addition, short duration bonds performed well, as they were less affected by rising interest rates.
 
Portfolio Review
 
For the 12 months ending March 31, 2024, the Fund outperformed the Univ, driven by a combination of beneficial sector allocation, issue selection, and duration management.
 
Sector allocation was the most additive to our relative performance. Our substantial overweight to high yield bonds was a sizable tailwind in the past fiscal year, as they materially outperformed the overall index. Our allocations to investment grade, busted convertibles, cash, and equity-sensitive convertibles were also highly additive during the period.
 
Issue selection also helped our relative performance substantially during the period. Almost all the value added came from our high yield bonds, which materially outperformed their counterparts in the Univ. Our investment grade allocation also outperformed the index’s.
 
Duration management was the smallest contributor to the Fund’s relative performance, but it was still materially additive. Our outsized allocation to shorter-dated bonds and cash worked well this period, as interest rates rose throughout most of the fiscal year. Our lower duration profile insulated us from the pricing pressure that affected the Univ.
 
Outlook & Portfolio Positioning
 
We leaned into the inverted yield curve during the past fiscal year, investing in shorter-dated bonds to complement our existing portfolio, and we intend to maintain our positioning in the coming fiscal year. This approach allows us to capture most of the available yield in the market while providing a substantially higher degree of flexibility.
 
While we expect the current economic environment to persist, if conditions change and the market experiences a correction, we will take advantage of the repricing by layering in longer-dated bonds at more attractive yields. If the Fed decides to cut rates, depending on the reason, our liquid portfolio will give us the cushion to weather a widening of spreads, yet also provide enough flexibility to pivot to longer maturities if appropriate.

Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to have limited liquidity and greater price volatility than large-capitalization companies. Higher turnover rates may result in increased transaction costs, which could impact performance. From time to time, the Fund may have concentrated positions in one or more sectors subjecting the Fund to sector emphasis risk. The Fund may invest in municipal securities which are subject to the risk of default.

Growth & Income Fund | Portfolio Managers’ Review

Performance Summary
 
The Osterweis Growth & Income Fund (the Fund) generated a total return of 17.60% for the 12-month period ending March 31, 2024, minimally trailing its blended benchmark, composed of 60% S&P 500 Index and 40% Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the Agg), which returned 17.97% over the same period. (Please see standardized performance in the table following this letter.) The Fund’s performance also slightly trailed a blended benchmark composed of 60% S&P 500 and 40% Bloomberg U.S. Universal Bond Index (the Univ), which returned 18.41% over the period.1
 
Market Review
 
Equity markets rallied during much of the past fiscal year, as the economy continued its post-pandemic recovery and the Fed paused its tightening program. Inflation continued to decelerate and the labor market remained robust, which, combined with the rising equity market, created a wealth effect that contributed to strong consumer spending.
 
In addition, enthusiasm around artificial intelligence drove equities higher, with most of the gains going to the so-called Magnificent 7, the mega cap technology companies atop the S&P 500. Those seven stocks had a disproportionate impact on the index, causing the cap-weighted version of the S&P 500 to substantially outperform the equal-weighted version (as well as most equity portfolios that did not include those companies).
 
However, many of the same factors that propelled stocks higher were headwinds for investment grade bonds. Specifically, the improving economy reduced recession fears, which caused 10-year U.S. Treasury yields to rise. Additionally, near the end of the fiscal year, inflation began moderating more slowly than investors had been hoping, which decreased the likelihood of Fed rate cuts in the near term. This put additional pressure on the long end of the curve, which also hurt the investment grade market.
 
High yield bonds fared better, as they tend to be more correlated with the economy and the stock market. In addition, short duration bonds performed well, as they were less affected by rising interest rates.
 
Portfolio Review
 
During the 12-month period ending March 31, 2024, on average, 60% of the Fund was allocated to equities, 26% to fixed income, and the rest to cash. Our underweight to fixed income helped our relative performance, but our ~15% cash allocation had the opposite effect.
 
Equities
 
For the fiscal year, our equities lagged the S&P 500 but delivered strong absolute returns. Both security selection and sector allocation hurt our relative returns.
 
Security selection detracted from relative returns largely due to our positions in Information Technology, Consumer Staples, Health Care, and Materials, all of which underperformed their counterparts in the benchmark. Those were somewhat offset by favorable relative performance in Financials, Consumer Discretionary, Real Estate, and Industrials.
 
Sector allocation also detracted from our relative performance, but less so. Our overweight to Consumer Staples, which substantially underperformed the overall index, and our underweight to Communication Services, which substantially outperformed the index, were the major drivers. Additionally, we were overweight Real Estate, Industrials, and Materials, each of which lagged the index, and we were underweight Information Technology, which outperformed. On the plus side, our zero weight in Utilities and underweight to Energy boosted our relative returns, as both sectors underperformed the overall index.
 
Fixed Income
 
For the 12 months ending March 31, 2024, the fixed income portion of the Fund outperformed the Univ, driven by a combination of beneficial sector allocation, issue selection, and duration management.

Growth & Income Fund | Portfolio Managers’ Review

Sector allocation was the most additive to our relative performance. Our substantial overweight to high yield bonds was a sizable tailwind in the past fiscal year, as they materially outperformed the overall index. Our allocations to busted convertibles, investment grade bonds, and equity-sensitive convertibles were also additive during the period.
 
Issue selection also helped our relative performance substantially during the period. Almost all the value added came from our high yield bonds, which materially outperformed their counterparts in the Univ. Our investment grade allocation also outperformed the index’s.
 
Duration management was the smallest contributor to the Fund’s relative performance, but it was still materially additive. Our allocation to shorter-dated bonds worked well this period, as interest rates rose throughout most of the fiscal year.
 
Outlook & Portfolio Positioning
 
Despite elevated rates and an inverted yield curve, the economy generally improved during the past fiscal year, and barring an exogenous event we are anticipating more of the same in the near-to-medium term. We continue to believe our Quality Growth equity approach is well suited to the current environment, as our equities contain a mix of businesses that benefit from both cyclical economic forces and secular tailwinds. If the economy remains healthy, as we expect, our cyclical companies are well positioned to deliver solid returns and boost our upside. On the other hand, if the economy weakens, our secular growth companies should serve as a ballast and help limit our downside.
 
In fixed income, we leaned into the inverted yield curve during the past fiscal year, investing in shorter-dated bonds to complement our existing portfolio, and we intend to maintain our positioning in the coming fiscal year. This approach allows us to capture most of the available yield in the market while providing a substantially higher degree of flexibility. If economic conditions change and the bond market experiences a correction, we will take advantage by layering in longer-dated issues at more attractive yields. If the Fed decides to cut rates, depending on the reason, our liquid portfolio will give us the cushion to weather a widening of spreads, yet also provide enough flexibility to pivot to longer maturities if appropriate.

The Osterweis Growth & Income Fund may invest in small- and mid-capitalization companies, which tend to have limited liquidity and greater price volatility than large-capitalization companies. The Fund may invest in foreign and emerging market securities, which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. These risks may increase for emerging markets. The Fund may invest in Master Limited Partnerships, which involve risk related to energy prices, demand and changes in tax code. The Fund may invest in debt securities that are un-rated or rated below investment grade. Lower-rated securities may present an increased possibility of default, price volatility or illiquidity compared to higher-rated securities. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Higher turnover rates may result in increased transaction costs, which could impact performance. From time to time, the Fund may have concentrated positions in one or more sectors subjecting the Fund to sector emphasis risk. The Fund may also make investments in derivatives that may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity, interest rate, market, credit, management and the risk that a position could not be closed when most advantageous. Leverage may cause the effect of an increase or decrease in the value of the portfolio securities to be magnified and the fund to be more volatile than if leverage was not used. Investments in preferred securities have an inverse relationship with changes in the prevailing interest rate. Investments in Asset Backed and Mortgage Backed Securities include additional risks that investors should be aware of such as credit risk, prepayment risk, possible illiquidity and default, as well as increased susceptibility to adverse economic developments.
 
Investment performance reflects periods during which fee waivers were in effect. In the absence of such waivers, total return would have been reduced.

Emerging Opportunity Fund | Portfolio Managers’ Review

Performance Summary
 
For the period of April 1, 2023 to March 31, 2024, the Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund (the Fund) generated a total return of 26.31% versus 20.35% for the Russell 2000 Growth Index (the Index). (Please see standardized performance in the table following this review.)
 
Market Review
 
Equity markets rallied during much of the past fiscal year, but small cap stocks lagged large caps, which benefitted disproportionately from the enthusiasm around artificial intelligence. Still, the results were a welcome change from the previous fiscal year, which featured elevated volatility and negative returns due to a combination of inflation and interest rate hikes.
 
The Fed’s tightening program remained on pause during the entire fiscal year as inflation continued to decelerate, which substantially improved investor sentiment. Likewise, consumer spending was strong, fueled by low unemployment and the wealth effect from the rising stock market.
 
Portfolio Review
 
For the 12 months ending March 31, 2024, the Fund delivered strong absolute and relative performance, beating the Index by nearly 600 basis points. Both our security selection and our sector allocation were additive to our performance, while our small cash position had a minimally negative impact.
 
Security selection drove the majority of our outperformance, as we beat our index counterparts in most sectors. Our picks in Industrials were the most additive, followed by Consumer Staples, Consumer Discretionary, Health Care, Materials, and Information Technology. On the downside, our selections in Financials had the biggest negative impact. Our Communication Services and Energy holdings also lagged versus the Index, but they had less impact on our relative returns.
 
Our sector weighting was also additive, but less so than our security selection. Our overweight to Information Technology provided the biggest boost, as the sector outperformed the overall index. Our lack of exposure to Utilities was also beneficial, as was our overweight to Health Care. Our underweights to Industrials, Consumer Staples, and Energy all detracted a small amount from relative returns as each sector outperformed the Index. Likewise, our overweight to Real Estate was also a small drag, as the sector underperformed.
 
Outlook & Portfolio Positioning
 
Despite elevated rates and an inverted yield curve, the economy held up well during the past fiscal year, and barring an exogenous event we are anticipating more of the same. Most importantly, we expect unemployment to remain low, which drives consumer spending, roughly two-thirds of the economy. However, inflation has proven to be stickier than the Fed would like, which means we are not anticipating significant rate cuts in the coming fiscal year, so that could become a potential market headwind.
 
Still, we feel that small cap growth stocks are well-positioned for the near-to-medium term. A recent BofA study demonstrated that small cap valuations relative to large cap are near their all-time lows, though they have been improving the past few quarters. Likewise, our portfolio’s forward price/sales ratio is still well below our average valuation for the past five years, though it has been increasing the past few quarters. This all suggests that small cap stocks are due for a rally, which aligns with the generally favorable economic environment.

Mutual Fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.
 
The Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund may invest in unseasoned companies, which involve additional risks such as abrupt or erratic price movements. The Fund may invest in small and mid-sized companies, which may involve greater volatility than large-sized companies. The Fund may invest in IPOs and unseasoned companies that are in the early stages of their development and may pose more risk compared to more established companies. The Fund may invest in ETFs, which involve risks that do not apply to conventional Funds. Higher turnover rates may result in increased transaction costs, which could impact performance. From time to time, the Fund may have concentrated positions in one or more sectors subjecting the Fund to sector emphasis risk. The Fund may invest in foreign and emerging market securities, which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. These risks may increase for emerging markets.

Osterweis Funds | Notes to Financial Statements at March 31, 2024


 Note 1 – Organization

The Osterweis Fund, Osterweis Strategic Income Fund, Osterweis Growth & Income Fund, and Osterweis Emerging Opportunity 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 October 1, 1993, August 30, 2002, August 31, 2010, and November 30, 2016, respectively.
 
The investment objective of the Osterweis Fund is to attain long-term total returns, which it seeks by investing primarily in equity securities. The investment objective of the Osterweis Strategic Income Fund is to preserve capital and attain long- term total returns through a combination of current income and moderate capital appreciation, which it seeks by investing primarily in income bearing securities. The investment objective of the Osterweis Growth & Income Fund is to attain long- term total returns and capital preservation, which it seeks by investing in both equity and fixed income securities that the Adviser believes can deliver attractive long-term returns and enhanced capital preservation. The investment objective of the Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund is to attain long-term capital appreciation. Osterweis Capital Management, Inc. and Osterweis Capital Management, LLC may be referred to individually or collectively as the “Adviser” or “Advisers” throughout this report.
 
 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, including short-term debt instruments having a maturity of less than 60 days, are valued by using the evaluated mean price supplied by an approved 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.
     
   
Securities for which market quotations are not ready available are valued at their respective fair values as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has designated Osterweis Capital Management (the “Advisor”) as valuation designee to perform fair value determinations relating to the Fund’s portfolio investments, subject to the Board’s oversight. 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.


37

Osterweis Funds | Notes to Financial Statements at March 31, 2024 (Continued)


 
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.

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 dividends receivable, 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.
     
 
C.
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 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. Net investment losses incurred after December 31, and within the taxable year, are deemed to arise on the first business day of the Fund’s next taxable year.
     
   
As of the most recent fiscal year end March 31, 2024, there were $349,961 of late-year losses for Emerging Opportunity Fund. There were no post-October losses for the Funds.
     
   
As of the most recent fiscal year end March 31, 2024, the Funds had the following capital loss carryovers available for federal income tax purposes:

Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund
   
(30,161,081

(40,023
)

   
As of March 31, 2024, 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, as of March 31, 2024, 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.
     
 
D.
Security 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 an identified cost 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. Dividends received from REITs and MLPs are generally comprised of ordinary income, capital gains and may include return of capital. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. 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.
     
 
E.
Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains on securities for the Osterweis Fund and Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund normally are declared and paid on an annual basis. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income for the Osterweis Strategic Income Fund and Osterweis Growth & Income Fund normally are declared and paid on a quarterly basis, and distributions to shareholders from net realized gains on securities normally are declared and paid on an annual basis. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
     
 
F.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities 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.

Osterweis Funds | Notes to Financial Statements at March 31, 2024 (Continued)


 
G.
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 and other assets, minus all liabilities by the total number of shares outstanding for each Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. The Funds’ shares will not be priced on the days on which the New York Stock Exchange is closed for trading. The offering and redemption price per share for each Fund is equal to each Fund’s net asset value per share.
     
 
H.
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.
     
 
I.
Illiquid Securities. Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Funds have adopted a Board approved liquidity risk management program that requires, among other things, that the Funds limit their 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.
     
 
J.
Restricted Cash. Restricted cash represents amounts that are held by third parties under certain of the Fund’s derivative transactions. Such cash is excluded from cash and equivalents in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Interest income earned on restricted cash is recorded in other income on the Statements of Operations.
     
 
K.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2022-03, which amends Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU 2022-03”). ASU 2022-03 clarifies guidance for fair value measurement of an equity security subject to a contractual sale restriction and establishes new disclosure requirements for such equity securities. ASU 2022-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted.
     
   
In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) – Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides optional, temporary relief with respect to the financial reporting of contracts subject to certain types of modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates as of the end of 2021. The temporary relief provided by ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate- related contract modifications that occur during the period from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-04 on the fund’s investments, derivatives, debt and other contracts that will undergo reference rate-related modifications as a result of the reference rate reform. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) approved an (optional) 2-year extension, until December 31, 2024, for temporary relief of transitioning away from the LIBOR. LIBOR was set to expire June 30, 2023. Companies were initially provided temporary relief through December 31, 2022 to update contracts moving away from LIBOR.
     
   
In October 2022, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted a final rule relating to Tailored Shareholder Reports for Mutual Funds and Exchange-Traded Funds; Fee Information in Investment Company Advertisements. The rule and form amendments will, among other things, require the Fund to transmit concise and visually engaging shareholder reports that highlight key information. The amendments will require that funds tag information in a structured data format and that certain more in-depth information be made available online and available for delivery free of charge to investors on request. The amendments became effective January 24, 2023. There is an 18-month transition period after the effective date of the amendment.

L.
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. For the year ended March 31, 2024, the following adjustments were made:

The permanent differences are primarily due to net operating losses and equalization.
     
 
M.
Subsequent Events. In preparing these financial statements, the Funds have evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued. The Funds have determined that there were no subsequent events that would need to be disclosed in the Funds’ financial statements.

 Note 3 – Commitments and Other Related Party Transactions

The Advisers provide the Funds with investment management services under separate Investment Advisory Agreements (the “Advisory Agreements”). Under the Advisory Agreements, the Advisers furnish all investment advice, office space, certain administrative services, and most of the personnel needed by each Fund. As compensation for their services, the Advisers are entitled to a monthly fee. For the Osterweis Fund, the Adviser is entitled to a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.75%. For the Osterweis Strategic Income Fund, the Adviser is entitled to a monthly fee at an annual rate of 1.00% of the average daily net assets up to $250 million, 0.75% of the average daily net assets from $250 million to $2.5 billion, and 0.65% of the average daily net assets greater than $2.5 billion. For the Osterweis Growth & Income Fund, the Adviser is entitled to a monthly fee at the annual rate of 0.75%. For the Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund, the Adviser is entitled to a monthly fee at an annual rate of 1.00% of the average daily net assets up to $500 million, 0.85% of the average daily net assets from $500 million to $1 billion, and 0.75% of the average daily net assets greater than $1 billion. The amount of investment advisory fees incurred by the Funds for the year ended March 31, 2024 is disclosed in the Statements of Operations. The investment advisory fees incurred are paid monthly to the Adviser, net of any waiver or reimbursement discussed below.
 
The Adviser has contractually agreed to limit the annual ratio of expenses (Expense Cap) at least until June 30, 2024 for the Osterweis Fund and the Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund by reducing all or a portion of their fees and reimbursing Fund expenses so that each Fund’s ratios of expenses to average net assets will not exceed 0.95% and 1.10%, respectively. Each Operating Expenses Limitation Agreement has an indefinite term and may be terminated at any time, and without payment of any penalty, by the Board, on behalf of the Fund, upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to the Adviser. Any fees waived and/or any Fund expenses absorbed by the Adviser pursuant to an agreed-upon expense cap shall be reimbursed by the Fund to the Adviser, if so requested by the Adviser, any time before the end of the third year following the fee waiver and/or expense absorption, provided the aggregate amount of the Fund’s 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 Fund must pay its current ordinary operating expenses before the Adviser is entitled to any reimbursements of fees and/or expenses. Any such reimbursement is also contingent upon Board review and approval. Any amount due from the Adviser is paid monthly to the Funds, if applicable. For the year ended March 31, 2024, the Adviser recaptured $32,636 in fees in the Osterweis Fund, and waived $168,962 in fees in the Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund. As of March 31, 2024, the remaining cumulative amount the Adviser may be reimbursed is $81,239 for Osterweis Fund, and $556,597 for Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund.

 Note 8 – Risks Associated with the Discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”)

The Funds invest in corporate bonds that have interest rate provisions linked to LIBOR. LIBOR is used extensively in the U.S. and globally as a “benchmark” or “reference rate” for such loans. It is expected that a number of private-sector banks currently reporting information used to set LIBOR will stop doing so after 2021 when their current reporting commitment ends, which could either cause LIBOR to stop publication immediately or cause LIBOR’s regulator to determine that its quality has degraded to the degree that it is no longer representative of its underlying market. The expected discontinuation of LIBOR may impact the functioning, liquidity, and value of these.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Board of Trustees of Professionally Managed Portfolios
and Shareholders of the Osterweis Funds
 
Opinion on the Financial Statements
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Osterweis Fund, Osterweis Strategic Income Fund, Osterweis Growth & Income Fund, and Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund (the “Funds”), each a series of Professionally Managed Portfolios (the “Trust”), including the schedules of investments, as of March 31, 2024, the related statements 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, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, 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 March 31, 2024, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and their financial highlights for each of 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 audits 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 the Funds’ 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 March 31, 2024 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Osterweis Funds | Expense Examples For the Six Months Ended March 31, 2024 (Unaudited)


As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur ongoing costs, including investment advisory 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 (October 1, 2023 – March 31, 2024.)
 
Actual Expenses
 
The “Actual” line for each of the following tables provides information about actual account values based on actual returns and actual expenses. Although the Funds charge no sales load or other transaction fees, 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. An Individual Retirement Account will be charged an annual maintenance fee. 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, 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” line for each of the following tables provides 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.

Statement Regarding Liquidity Risk Management Program (Unaudited)


The Funds have adopted a liquidity risk management program (the “program”). The Board has designated the Adviser to serve as the administrator of the program. Personnel of the Adviser conduct the day-to-day operation of the program pursuant to policies and procedures administered by the Adviser.
 
Under the program, the Adviser manages the Funds’ liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Funds could not meet shareholder redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining shareholders’ interests in the Funds. This risk is managed by monitoring the degree of liquidity of each Funds’ investments, limiting the amount of the Funds’ illiquid investments, and utilizing various risk management tools and facilities available to the Funds for meeting shareholder redemptions, among other means. The Adviser’s process of determining the degree of liquidity of the Funds’ investments is supported by one or more third-party liquidity assessment vendors.
 
The Board reviewed a report prepared by the Adviser regarding the operation and effectiveness of the program for the period January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023. No significant liquidity events impacting any of the Funds were noted in the report. In addition, the Adviser provided its assessment that the program had been effective in managing the Funds’ liquidity risk.
