N-30D 1 mmi.txt PUTNAM MANAGED MUNICIPAL INCOME TRUST Putnam Managed Municipal Income Trust ANNUAL REPORT ON PERFORMANCE AND OUTLOOK 10-31-02 [GRAPHIC OMITTED: WATCH] [SCALE LOGO OMITTED] FROM THE TRUSTEES [GRAPHIC OMITTED: PHOTO OF JOHN A. HILL AND GEORGE PUTNAM III] Dear Fellow Shareholder: Putnam Managed Municipal Income Trust's mandate requires its managers to seek high current income free from federal income tax by investing in a diversified portfolio of tax-exempt municipal securities. With an eye toward the prevailing uncertainties in the markets during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2002, the managers invested a majority of the fund's assets in high-quality bonds for the safety they provide. At the same time, they committed about a third of the fund's assets to lower-rated securities to take advantage of the higher income available from these issues. As the fiscal year progressed, investors became increasingly cautious and abandoned lower-rated bonds, preferring the safer haven of higher-quality issues. The short-term price decline in lower-rated bonds resulting from this flight to quality was a key factor in the fund's underperformance relative to its benchmark and its Lipper category average for the period. You will find a full explanation of the fund's performance during the fiscal year in the following report from the fund's managers. They also offer their views on the fund's prospects in the months ahead. Respectfully yours, /S/ JOHN A. HILL /S/ GEORGE PUTNAM, III John A. Hill George Putnam, III Chairman of the Trustees President of the Funds December 18, 2002 REPORT FROM FUND MANAGEMENT This fund is managed by the Putnam Tax Exempt Fixed-Income Team During the fiscal year ending October 31, 2002, performance in the municipal-bond market was split between high-quality bonds, which performed well, and lower-rated bonds, which underperformed. In this year of uncertainty, Putnam Managed Municipal Income Trust's management team fine-tuned the fund's portfolio in response to market developments -- most notably, the fixed-income market's rally and sudden reversal in October, the dramatic increase in municipal-bond supply, and a widening of credit spreads between lower- and higher-yielding municipal bonds. Total return for 12 months ended 10/31/02 NAV Market price ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -0.94% -5.57% ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Past performance does not indicate future results. Performance based on market prices for the shares will vary from performance based on the portfolio's net asset value. Performance information for longer periods begins on page 8. While your fund holds the majority of its assets in high-quality municipal bonds, it is also invested in higher-yielding, lower-rated municipal bonds, which contribute considerably to the portfolio's monthly income. Responding to uncertainty about the economic recovery and improprieties at several high-profile corporations, investors shunned securities in the lower-rated sector of the municipal-bond market in favor of higher-quality securities. As a result, prices of lower-rated securities in the portfolio fell as the higher-quality bonds rallied. This caused the fund to post a small loss (at net asset value) for the year and to underperform both the Lehman Municipal Bond Index and the average for its Lipper category. Your fund's market price reflects changes in shareholder sentiment and the balance of supply and demand for shares, as well as actual performance of the portfolio holdings. The return at market price, which shows a greater loss than the return at net asset value, may be a further indication of investors' negative perception of lower-rated securities, which prevailed for much of the period. A significant dividend cut, which occurred in December 2000, has contributed to the lower market return over the past five years.

Holdings will vary over time. * SPUTTERING ECONOMY SPURS BOND RALLY AND FLIGHT TO QUALITY During much of the fund's fiscal year, low inflation, declining interest rates, and the ongoing shakeout in the stock market created a hospitable environment for fixed-income investing. In the spring and summer of 2002, the bond rally was accelerating, with heavy investor demand across all sectors of the municipal-bond market. However, corporate malfeasance, rising layoffs, and a potential war with Iraq began to undermine investors' enthusiasm. In August and September, when the uncertainty and fall in consumer confidence became most pronounced, many municipal-bond investors had shifted assets into high-quality tax-exempt securities. Credit spreads -- the difference in yield between high-quality and lower-rated bonds -- became extremely wide. As a result, prices for lower-rated municipal bonds declined. These declines had the effect of erasing much of the price gain your fund had amassed earlier in the year. Many of the fund's lower-rated holdings are in the form of Industrial Development Bonds (IDBs). These are municipal bonds that are issued to encourage local expansion by various businesses. [GRAPHIC OMITTED: pie chart CREDIT QUALITY OVERVIEW] CREDIT QUALITY OVERVIEW* AAA/Aaa -- 34.5% AA/Aa -- 1.4% A -- 16.9% BBB/Baa -- 24.0% BB/Ba -- 12.8% B/B -- 4.2% CCC/Ca -- 1.6% D -- 1.1% VMIG1 -- 3.5% Footnote reads: *As a percentage of market value as of 10/31/02. A bond rated Baa or higher is considered investment grade. All ratings reflect Moody's and Standard & Poor's descriptions unless noted otherwise; percentages may include unrated bonds considered by Putnam Management to be of comparable quality. Ratings will vary over time. The bonds are backed only by the credit of the company benefiting from the financing, not by the issuing municipality. As a result, IDBs rise and fall in price based on investor perceptions of the health of the individual business entity or the industry group as a whole. For example, a number of the fund's bonds were issued to finance airport facility expansion by various airlines. As the airlines have suffered from declining traffic and high fixed costs, many of the airline-related tax exempt bonds have declined in price. Moreover, the fund owns small quantities of bonds backed by the credit of U.S. Air and United Airlines, both of which have filed for Chapter 11. However, we believe that these bonds may recover in price as the airlines reorganize. Fund Profile Putnam Managed Municipal Income Trust seeks to provide as high a level of current income free from federal income tax as is consistent with preservation of capital through investments in investment-grade and higher-yielding, lower-rated municipal bonds. The fund is designed for investors seeking tax-exempt income and willing to accept the risks associated with below-investment-grade bonds. The fund's relative performance was also hurt by our decision to position the portfolio defensively -- for a rise in interest rates -- during a substantial bond-market rally that we had not considered a likely development. Our forecast called for a modest economic recovery in the next six to twelve months. Since the markets tend to anticipate such a recovery, we began to reposition the portfolio to minimize the negative effects of a rising-rate environment that would accompany such a recovery. Given the large-scale flight to quality and strong bond-market rally that followed, this strategy was not favorable for the fund's performance. However, given the strong performance of bonds over stocks for nearly three consecutive years, and with interest rates at record lows, we believed that positioning the fund defensively was a prudent strategy. * LOWER-RATED BONDS OFFER OPPORTUNITY BUT REQUIRE CAREFUL RISK MANAGEMENT The fund still has a considerable exposure to the lower-quality, higher-yielding segment of the municipal-bond market, and we believe these holdings will survive the difficult credit cycle intact. Two primary sources for these lower-rated bonds are Industrial Development Bonds and health care bonds. Although many bonds in this sector have declined in price, we believe these bonds still offer value for shareholders. In our view, economic growth is beginning to improve, and there is the risk that interest rates in the year ahead may rise. In this type of environment, lower-rated, higher-yielding bonds typically outperform higher quality bonds. An example of our strategy can be found in the IDBs backed by electric power industry. Although the industry remains troubled by revelations of market manipulation and is still struggling with deregulation, overcapacity, and depressed prices, the fund owns some holdings in this industry which have favorable credit profiles. Among these are the Sam Rayburn Texas Municipal Power bonds. These bonds, which are financing the delivery of power to three cities in southeast Texas, were recently upgraded from the BB category to the BBB category. In addition, electricity rates for these cities are reviewed monthly rather than annually, which should help ensure the facility has sufficient revenues to meet debt obligations. In the hospital sector, which is still struggling with a high cost structure, we've located several well-managed hospitals that are benefiting from technological advances, the loosening of managed-care restrictions, and an aging population. For example, the John C. Lincoln Health Network in Arizona may be experiencing growth pressures that require the hospital to borrow additional money to expand facilities, but the influx of retirees and a general population increase is creating rising demand for services. We have also sought investment opportunities in bonds from issuers outside the traditional municipal-bond services sectors to help diversify risk. Tax-exempt bonds relating to land development in Florida have been particularly rewarding for the fund. Strong building and sales trends, strategic locations, easy access to transportation, and large, reputable developers are important factors in selecting secured land bonds. The fund's investments in Heritage Harbour South Community bonds are financing a residential development in Tampa, which will ultimately include 5,000 homes. This planned community is controlled by Lennar Corporation, one of the largest homebuilders in the nation, with operations in many of the South's highest-growth states. * TEAM SEEKS THE MOST PRUDENT COURSE Following the close of the fund's fiscal year, two significant events took place. First, the Federal Reserve Board lowered the federal funds rate by half a percentage point in response to the economy's continued sluggishness and investors' lack of confidence. Secondly, California came to market in early November with the long-anticipated issuance of power revenue bonds that the state has planned for over a year. The monies raised by the power bond issuance will be used, in part, to reimburse the state's General Fund. The size of the issuance -- over $6.5 billion -- is quite significant and created concerns about how the tax-exempt market would absorb it. Further aggravating the supply/demand imbalance is the continued refunding activity by municipalities and municipal issuers looking to retire expensive, high-interest debt to lower their expenses. Lower interest rates and rising supply, in theory, can have a countervailing effect -- the former can boost prices while the latter depresses them. In light of these and other constantly changing forces, successful management requires in-depth research, vigilance, and patience. We believe that when the economic outlook becomes more positive, high-quality bonds could come under pressure as interest rates rise, which has already begun to happen. If rates continue to rise over the next several years, as we expect them to, we believe the lower-rated sectors should outperform. We cannot know when this change is likely to take place, but we feel confident that our decision to position your fund in anticipation of rising interest rates and narrowing credit spreads should ultimately benefit shareholders.

TERMS AND DEFINITIONS Total return shows how the value of the fund's shares changed over time, assuming you held the shares through the entire period and reinvested all distributions in the fund. Net asset value (NAV) is the value of all your fund's assets, minus any liabilities and the net assets allocated to remarketed preferred shares, divided by the number of outstanding common shares. Market price is the current trading price of one share of the fund. Market prices are set by transactions between buyers and sellers on the New York Stock Exchange. COMPARATIVE BENCHMARKS Lehman Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged list of long-term fixed-rate investment-grade tax-exempt bonds. Indexes assume reinvestment of all distributions and do not account for fees. Securities and performance of a fund and an index will differ. You cannot invest directly in an index. Consumer price index (CPI) is a commonly used measure of inflation; it does not represent an investment return. Lipper Inc. is a third-party industry ranking entity that ranks funds (without sales charges) with similar current investment styles or objectives as determined by Lipper. A GUIDE TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS These sections of the report, as well as the accompanying Notes, preceded by the Report of independent accountants, constitute the fund's financial statements. The fund's portfolio lists all the fund's investments and their values as of the last day of the reporting period. Holdings are organized by asset type and industry sector, country, or state to show areas of concentration and diversification. Statement of assets and liabilities shows how the fund's net assets and share price are determined. All investment and noninvestment assets are added together. Any unpaid expenses and other liabilities are subtracted from this total. The result is divided by the number of shares to determine the net asset value per share, which is calculated separately for each class of shares. (For funds with preferred shares, the amount subtracted from total assets includes the net assets allocated to remarketed preferred shares.) Statement of operations shows the fund's net investment gain or loss. This is done by first adding up all the fund's earnings -- from dividends and interest income -- and subtracting its operating expenses to determine net investment income (or loss). Then, any net gain or loss the fund realized on the sales of its holdings -- as well as any unrealized gains or losses over the period -- is added to or subtracted from the net investment result to determine the fund's net gain or loss for the fiscal year. Statement of changes in net assets shows how the fund's net assets were affected by distributions to shareholders and by changes in the number of the fund's shares. It lists distributions and their sources (net investment income or realized capital gains) over the current reporting period and the most recent fiscal year-end. The distributions listed here may not match the sources listed in the Statement of operations because the distributions are determined on a tax basis and may be paid in a different period from the one in which they were earned. Financial highlights provide an overview of the fund's investment results, per-share distributions, expense ratios, net investment income ratios, and portfolio turnover in one summary table, reflecting the five most recent reporting periods. In a semiannual report, the highlight table also includes the current reporting period. For open-end funds, a separate table is provided for each share class.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS October 31, 2002 Note 1 Significant accounting policies Putnam Managed Municipal Income Trust (the "fund") is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, closed-end management investment company. The fund's investment objective is to seek a high level of current income exempt from federal income tax. The fund intends to achieve its objective by investing in a diversified portfolio of tax-exempt municipal securities which Putnam Investment Management, LLC ("Putnam Management"), the fund's manager, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Putnam, LLC, believes does not involve undue risk to income or principal. Up to 50% of the fund's assets may consist of high-yield tax-exempt municipal securities that are below investment grade and involve special risk considerations. The fund also uses leverage by issuing preferred shares in an effort to increase the income to the common shares. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of financial statements is in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A) Security valuation Tax-exempt bonds and notes are stated on the basis of valuations provided by an independent pricing service, approved by the Trustees, which uses information with respect to transactions in bonds, quotations from bond dealers, market transactions in comparable securities and various relationships between securities in determining value. Restricted securities are stated at fair value following procedures approved by the Trustees. Such valuations and procedures are reviewed periodically by the Trustees. B) Security transactions and related investment income Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed). Gains or losses on securities sold are determined on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. All premiums/discounts are amortized/ accreted on a yield-to-maturity basis. The premium in excess of the call price, if any, is amortized to the call date; thereafter, the remaining excess premium is amortized to maturity. C) Futures and options contracts The fund may use futures and options contracts to hedge against changes in the values of securities the fund owns or expects to purchase. The fund may also write options on securities it owns or in which it may invest to increase its current returns. The potential risk to the fund is that the change in value of futures and options contracts may not correspond to the change in value of the hedged instruments. In addition, losses may arise from changes in the value of the underlying instruments, if there is an illiquid secondary market for the contracts, or if the counterparty to the contract is unable to perform. When the contract is closed, the fund records a realized 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. Realized gains and losses on purchased options are included in realized gains and losses on investment securities. Futures contracts are valued at the quoted daily settlement prices established by the exchange on which they trade. The fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the futures contract. Such receipts or payments are known as "variation margin." Exchange traded options are valued at the last sale price, or if no sales are reported, the last bid price for purchased options and the last ask price for written options. Options traded over-the-counter are valued using prices supplied by dealers. D) Federal taxes It is the policy of the fund to distribute all of its income within the prescribed time and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. It is also the intention of the fund to distribute an amount sufficient to avoid imposition of any excise tax under Section 4982 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Therefore, no provision has been made for federal taxes on income, capital gains or unrealized appreciation on securities held nor for excise tax on income and capital gains. At October 31, 2002, the fund had a capital loss carryover of approximately $24,642,000 available to the extent allowed by tax law to offset future capital gains, if any. The amount of the carryover and the expiration dates are: Loss Carryover Expiration -------------- ------------------ $321,000 October 31, 2003 11,188,000 October 31, 2005 2,895,000 October 31, 2006 3,629,000 October 31, 2007 1,237,000 October 31, 2008 1,642,000 October 31, 2009 3,730,000 October 31, 2010 E) Distributions to shareholders Distributions to common and preferred shareholders from net investment income are recorded by the fund on the ex-dividend date. Distributions from capital gains, if any, are recorded on the ex dividend date and paid at least annually. Dividends on remarketed preferred shares become payable when, as and if declared by the Trustees. Each dividend period for the remarketed preferred shares is generally a 28-day period for Series A and Series B shares, and a 7-day period for Series C shares. The applicable dividend rate for the remarketed preferred shares on October 31, 2002 was 1.44% for Series A, 1.65% for Series B and 1.68% for Series C. The amount and character of income and gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. These differences include temporary and permanent differences of the expiration of a capital loss carryover, dividends payable, defaulted bond interest, straddle loss deferrals, and Partnership income. Prior year distributions in the Statement of changes in net assets have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation. Reclassifications are made to the fund's capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryovers) under income tax regulations. For the year ended October 31, 2002, the fund reclassified $1,886,508 to decrease paid-in-capital, with a decrease to accumulated net realized losses of $1,886,508. The tax basis components of distributable earnings and the federal tax cost as of period end was as follows: Unrealized appreciation $21,199,614 Unrealized depreciation (60,822,225) -------------------- Net unrealized appreciation/ depreciation (39,622,611) Undistributed tax-exempt income 3,734,222 Capital loss carryforward (24,642,055) Post October loss -- Cost for federal income tax purposes 576,221,824 F) Determination of net asset value Net asset value of the common shares is determined by dividing the value of all assets of the fund, less all liabilities and the liquidation preference of any outstanding remarketed preferred shares, by the total number of common shares outstanding. Note 2 Management fee, administrative services and other transactions Compensation of Putnam Management, for management and investment advisory services is paid quarterly based on the average net assets of the fund. Such fee is based on the following annual rates: 0.70% of the first $500 million of the average weekly net assets, 0.60% of the next $500 million, 0.55% of the next $500 million and 0.50% thereafter. If dividends payable on remarketed preferred shares during any dividend payment period plus any expenses attributable to remarketed preferred shares for that period exceed the fund's gross income attributable to the proceeds of the remarketed preferred shares during that period, then the fee payable to Putnam Management for that period will be reduced by the amount of the excess (but not more than 0.70% of the liquidation preference of the remarketed preferred shares outstanding during the period). The fund reimburses Putnam Management an allocated amount for the compensation and related expenses of certain officers of the fund and their staff who provide administrative services to the fund. The aggregate amount of all such reimbursements is determined annually by the Trustees. Custodial functions for the fund's assets are provided by Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company (PFTC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Putnam, LLC. Investor servicing agent functions are provided by Putnam Investor Services, a division of PFTC. The fund has entered into an arrangement with PFTC whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances are used to reduce a portion of the fund's expenses. For the year ended October 31, 2002, the fund's expenses were reduced by $40,576 under these arrangements. Each independent Trustee of the fund receives an annual Trustee fee, of which $737 has been allocated to the fund, and an additional fee for each Trustees meeting attended. Trustees receive additional fees for attendance at certain committee meetings. The fund has adopted a Trustee Fee Deferral Plan (the "Deferral Plan") which allows the Trustees to defer the receipt of all or a portion of Trustees Fees payable on or after July 1, 1995. The deferred fees remain invested in certain Putnam funds until distribution in accordance with the Deferral Plan. The fund has adopted an unfunded noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (the "Pension Plan") covering all Trustees of the fund who have served as a Trustee for at least five years. Benefits under the Pension Plan are equal to 50% of the Trustee's average total retainer and meeting fees for the three years preceding retirement. Pension expense for the fund is included in Compensation of Trustees in the Statement of operations. Accrued pension liability is included in Payable for compensation of Trustees in the Statement of assets and liabilities. Note 3 Purchases and sales of securities During the year ended October 31, 2002, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investment securities other than short-term investments aggregated $110,276,363 and $135,195,068, respectively. There were no purchases and sales of U.S. government obligations. Note 4 Preferred shares The Series A (550), Series B (550) and Series C (650) shares are redeemable at the option of the fund on any dividend payment date at a redemption price of $100,000 per share, plus an amount equal to any dividends accumulated on a daily basis but unpaid through the redemption date (whether or not such dividends have been declared) and, in certain circumstances, a call premium. Under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the fund is required to maintain asset coverage of at least 200% with respect to the remarketed preferred shares as of the last business day of each month in which any such shares are outstanding. Additionally, the fund is required to meet more stringent asset coverage requirements under terms of the remarketed preferred shares and the shares' rating agencies. Should these requirements not be met, or should dividends accrued on the remarketed preferred shares not be paid, the fund may be restricted in its ability to declare dividends to common shareholders or may be required to redeem certain of the remarketed preferred shares. At October 31, 2002, no such restrictions have been placed on the fund. Under Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) promulgation Topic D-98, Classification and Measurement of Redeemable Securities, which was issued on July 19, 2001, preferred securities that are redeemable for cash or other assets are to be classified outside of permanent equity to the extent that the redemption is at a fixed or determinable price and at the option of the holder or upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the issuer. Subject to the guidance of the EITF, the Trust's preferred stock, which was previously classified as a component of net assets, has been reclassified outside of permanent equity (net assets) in the accompanying financial statements. Prior year amounts have also been reclassified to conform with this presentation. The impact of this reclassification creates no change to the net assets available to common shareholders. Note 5 New accounting pronouncement As required, the fund has adopted the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide, Audits of Investment Companies. This Guide requires that the fund amortize premium and accrete discount on all fixed-income securities, and classify as interest income gains and losses realized on paydowns on mortgage-backed securities. Prior to November 1, 2001, the fund did not accrete discounts for certain fixed income securities. The adoption of this principle was not material to the financial statements. FEDERAL TAX INFORMATION (Unaudited) The fund has designated 100% of dividends paid from net investment income during the fiscal year as tax exempt for Federal income tax purposes. The Form 1099 you receive in January 2003 will show the tax status of all distributions paid to your account in calendar 2002.
