Past performance does not guarantee future results. The table does not reflect taxes shareholders might owe on any fund distributions or when they redeem their shares. Performance for periods less than one year is cumulative, not annualized. Returns reflect changes in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any. Unlike a fund, an index is not managed and does not reflect fees and expenses.

 

1 Prior to the inception of Class A and C shares (2/1/06), performance is that of Institutional Class shares, restated to reflect the higher net expenses and sales loads of Class A and C shares.

 

2 Performance for Class C shares assumes a 1% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) applied when you sell shares within one year of purchase.

 

3 MSCI World Index is an unmanaged index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets.

 

4 Citigroup World Government Bond Index is an unmanaged index that includes the most significant and liquid government bond markets globally that carry at least an investment-grade rating.

 

5 Fund performance has been increased by fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, without which performance would have been lower.

UNDERSTANDING FUND EXPENSES

As a mutual fund shareholder, you incur different types of costs: transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service fees (12b-1 fees), and other fund expenses. These costs are described in more detail in the funds’ prospectus. The examples below are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the funds and help you compare these with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The first line in the table for each class shows the actual amount of fund expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in the fund from October 1, 2012 (February 1, 2013, for Class N) through March 31, 2013. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual fund returns and expenses. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6) and multiply the result by the number in the Expenses Paid During Period row as shown below for your class.

The second line in the table for each class provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund’s actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid on your investment for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund 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 reflect ongoing costs only, and do not include any transaction costs, such as sales charges. Therefore, the second line in the table of each fund is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included, total costs would be higher.

1.  Organization.  Loomis Sayles Funds II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees to authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of the Trust in multiple series. The financial statements for certain funds of the Trust are presented in separate reports. The following funds (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are included in this report:

Loomis Sayles Global Equity and Income Fund (the “Global Equity and Income Fund”)

Loomis Sayles Growth Fund (the “Growth Fund”)

Loomis Sayles Mid Cap Growth Fund (the “Mid Cap Growth Fund”)

Loomis Sayles Value Fund (the “Value Fund”)

Each Fund is a diversified investment company.

Each Fund offers Class A, Class C and Class Y shares. Effective February 1, 2013, Growth Fund, Mid Cap Growth Fund and Value Fund began offering Class N shares. In addition, Value Fund offers Admin Class shares. Effective October 12, 2007, Class B shares are no longer offered. Existing Class B shareholders of Growth Fund and Value Fund may continue to reinvest dividends into Class B shares and exchange their Class B shares for Class B shares of other Natixis Funds subject to existing exchange privileges as described in the prospectus.

Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 5.75%. Class B shares do not pay a front-end sales charge; however, they are charged higher Rule 12b-1 fees, and are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) if such shares are redeemed within six years of purchase. After eight years of ownership, Class B shares convert to Class A shares. Class C shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, do not convert to any other class of shares, pay higher Rule 12b-1 fees than Class A shares and may be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% if those shares are redeemed within one year of acquisition, except for reinvested distributions. Class N and Class Y shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, a CDSC or Rule 12b-1 fees. Class N shares are primarily intended for employer-sponsored retirement plans. Class Y shares are intended for institutional investors with a minimum initial investment of $100,000, though some categories of investors are exempted from the minimum investment amount as outlined in the Funds’ prospectus. Admin Class shares do not pay a front-end sales charge or a CDSC, but do pay a Rule 12b-1 fee. Class N and Admin Class shares are offered exclusively through intermediaries.

Most expenses of the Trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a fund are generally apportioned based on the relative net assets of each of the funds in the Trust. Expenses of a Fund are borne pro rata by the holders of each class of shares, except that each class bears expenses unique to that class (including the Rule 12b-1 service and distribution fees and transfer agent fees for

Class N). In addition, each class votes as a class only with respect to its own Rule 12b-1 Plan. Shares of each class would receive their pro rata share of the net assets of a Fund if the Fund were liquidated. The Trustees approve separate distributions from net investment income on each class of shares.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies.  The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has evaluated the events and transactions subsequent to period-end through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no material events that would require disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.

a.  Valuation.  Equity securities, including shares of closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds, for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value, as reported by independent pricing services recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Such independent pricing services generally use the security’s last sale price on the exchange or market where the security is primarily traded or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), or if lacking a NOCP, at the most recent bid quotation on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less) and unlisted equity securities are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees, which service determines valuations for normal, institutional-size trading units of such securities using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders. Senior loans are priced at bid prices supplied by an independent pricing service, if available. Broker-dealer bid prices may also be used to value debt and equity securities and senior loans where an independent pricing service is unable to price a security or where an independent pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued utilizing interpolated prices determined from information provided by an independent pricing service. Domestic exchange-traded single equity option contracts are valued at the mean of the National Best Bid and Offer quotations. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each day. Short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in

good faith by the Funds’ investment adviser using consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.

The Funds may hold securities traded in foreign markets. Foreign securities are valued at the closing market price in the foreign market. However, if events occurring after the close of the foreign market (but before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange) are believed to materially affect the value of those securities, such securities are fair valued on a daily basis pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. When fair valuing securities, the Funds may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the Funds calculate their net asset values. As of March 31, 2013, approximately 23% of the market value of Global Equity and Income Fund’s investments was fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees as events occurring after the close of the foreign market were believed to materially affect the value of those securities. Additionally, one security held by the Fund for which market quotations were not readily available as of March 31, 2013, was fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees, amounting to 0.7% of net assets.

b.  Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income.  Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one day basis for daily net asset value calculation. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date, or in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as a Fund is notified, and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of premium. Periodic principal adjustments for inflation-protected securities are recorded to interest income. In determining net gain or loss on securities sold, the cost of securities has been determined on an identified cost basis. Investment income, non-class specific expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund.

c.  Foreign Currency Translation.  The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions.

Since the values of investment securities are presented at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, it is not practical to isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates from fluctuations which arise due to changes in market prices of investment securities. Such changes are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, at the end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

Each Fund may use foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated investments. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts’ terms.

d.  Forward Foreign Currency Contracts.  The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts, including forward foreign cross currency contracts to acquire exposure to foreign currencies or to hedge the Funds’ investments against currency fluctuation. A contract can also be used to offset a previous contract. These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The U.S. dollar value of the currencies a Fund has committed to buy or sell represents the aggregate exposure to each currency the Fund has acquired or hedged through currency contracts outstanding at period end. Gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until settlement date. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Certain contracts may require the movement of cash and/or securities as collateral for the Funds’ or counterparty’s net obligations under the contracts.

e.  Option Contracts.  The Funds may enter into option contracts. When a Fund purchases an option, it pays a premium and the option is subsequently marked to market to reflect current value. Premiums paid for purchasing options which expire are treated as realized losses. Premiums paid for purchasing options which are exercised are added to the cost or deducted from the proceeds on the underlying instrument to determine the realized gain or loss. If the Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, the difference between the premium paid and the proceeds of the closing sale transaction is treated as a realized gain or loss. The risk associated with purchasing options is limited to the premium paid.

When a Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the net premium received (the premium less commission) is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current value. Net premiums received for written options which expire are treated as realized gains. Net premiums received for written options which are exercised are deducted from the cost or added to the proceeds on the underlying instrument to determine the realized gain or loss. If the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, the difference between the net premium received and any amount paid on

effecting a closing purchase transaction, including commissions, is treated as a realized gain or, if the net premium received is less than the amount paid, as a realized loss. The Fund, as writer of a written option, bears the risk of an unfavorable change in the market value of the instrument underlying the written option.

Exchange-traded options contracts are standardized and are settled through a clearing house with fulfillment supported by the credit of the exchange. Therefore, counterparty credit risks to the Funds are reduced. Over-the-counter options are subject to the risk that the counterparty is unable or unwilling to meet its obligations under the option. For the six months ended March 31, 2013, the Funds were not party to any over-the-counter options.

f.  Federal and Foreign Income Taxes.  The Trust treats each Fund as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains at least annually. Management has performed an analysis of each Fund’s tax positions for the open tax years as of March 31, 2013 and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. The Funds’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management is not aware of any events that are reasonably possible to occur in the next six months that would result in the amounts of any unrecognized tax benefits significantly increasing or decreasing for the Funds. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws and accounting regulations and interpretations thereof.

A Fund may be subject to foreign withholding taxes on investment income and taxes on capital gains on investments that are accrued and paid based upon the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the countries in which the Fund invests. Foreign withholding taxes on dividend and interest income are reflected on the Statements of Operations as a reduction of investment income, net of amounts eligible to be reclaimed. Dividends and interest receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are net of foreign withholding taxes. Foreign withholding taxes eligible to be reclaimed are reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as tax reclaims receivable. Capital gains taxes paid are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statements of Operations. Accrued but unpaid capital gains taxes are reflected as foreign taxes payable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, if applicable, and reduce unrealized gains on investments. In the event that realized gains on investments are subsequently offset by realized losses, taxes paid on realized gains may be returned to a Fund. Such amounts, if applicable, are reflected as foreign tax rebates receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are recorded as a realized gain when received.

g.  Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders.  Dividends and distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gain distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Permanent differences are primarily due to differing treatments for book and tax purposes of items such as net operating losses, paydown gains and losses, foreign currency transactions, return of capital and capital gain distributions from real estate investment trusts (“REITs”), defaulted bonds and premium amortization. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to capital accounts. Temporary differences between book and tax distributable earnings are primarily due to deferred Trustees’ fees, forward foreign currency contract mark to market, wash sales, premium amortization, contingent payment debt instruments, trust preferred securities and basis adjustments for return of capital dividends. Distributions from net investment income and short-term capital gains are considered to be distributed from ordinary income for tax purposes.

The tax characterization of distributions is determined on an annual basis. The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the year ended September 30, 2012 was as follows:

* Under current tax law, capital losses, foreign currency losses, and losses on passive foreign investment companies and contingent payment debt instruments after October 31 or December 31, as applicable, may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following taxable year.

h.  Repurchase Agreements.  It is each Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Certain repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf of the counterparty. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty, including possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities.

i.  Securities Lending.  The Funds have entered into an agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street Bank”), as agent of the Funds, to lend securities to certain designated borrowers. The loans are collateralized with cash or securities in an amount equal to at least 105% or 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of the loaned international or domestic securities, respectively, when the loan is initiated. Thereafter, the value of the collateral must remain at least 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. equities and U.S. corporate debt; at least 105% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for non-U.S. equities; and at least 100% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. Government securities, sovereign debt issued by non-U.S. Governments and non-U.S. corporate debt. In the event that the market value of the collateral falls below the required percentages described above, the borrower will deliver additional collateral on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds may bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of the collateral. The Funds invest cash collateral in short-term investments, a portion of the income from which is remitted to the borrowers and the remainder allocated between the Funds and State Street Bank as lending agent.

March 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

For the six months ended March 31, 2013, none of the Funds had loaned securities under this agreement.

j.  Indemnifications.  Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, 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.

k.  New Accounting Pronouncement.  In December 2011, Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” was issued and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after January 1, 2013. The ASU creates new disclosure requirements with respect to an entity’s rights of setoff and related arrangements associated with its financial and derivative instruments. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2011-11 may have on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

3.  Fair Value Measurements.  In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Funds have categorized the inputs utilized in determining the value of each Fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

   

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

   

Level 2 – prices determined using other significant inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.); and

 

   

Level 3 – prices determined using significant unobservable inputs when quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an asset or liability (unobservable inputs reflect each Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities and would be based on the best information available).

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

A debt security valued at $638,272 was transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 during the period ended March 31, 2013. At March 31, 2013, this security was valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service in accordance with the Fund’s valuation policies.

All transfers are recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period.

4.  Derivatives.  Derivative instruments are defined as financial instruments whose value and performance are based on the value and performance of another security or financial instrument. Derivative instruments that Global Equity and Income Fund and Mid Cap Growth Fund used during the period include forward foreign currency contracts and option contracts.

Global Equity and Income Fund is subject to the risk that changes in foreign currency exchange rates will have an unfavorable effect on the value of Fund assets denominated in foreign currencies. The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts for hedging purposes to protect the value of the Fund’s holdings of foreign securities. The Fund may also use forward foreign currency contracts to gain exposure to foreign currencies, regardless of whether securities denominated in such currencies are held in the Fund. During the six months ended March 31, 2013, Global Equity and Income Fund engaged in forward foreign currency transactions for hedging purposes and to gain exposure to foreign currencies.

Mid Cap Growth Fund is subject to the risk of unpredictable declines in the value of individual equity securities and periods of below-average performance in individual securities or in the equity market as a whole. The Fund may use purchased put options and written call options to hedge against a decline in value of an equity security that it owns, and may use written put options to offset the cost of options used for hedging purposes. The Fund may also use purchased call options to gain exposure to an equity security without committing the capital required to buy it, while also limiting the downside risk associated with owning it. During the six months ended March 31, 2013, Mid Cap Growth Fund engaged in purchased put options for hedging purposes and written put options to offset the cost of options used for hedging purposes.

Global Equity and Income Fund is party to agreements with counterparties that govern transactions in forward foreign currency contracts. These agreements contain credit-risk-related contingent features that allow the counterparties to terminate open contracts early if the net asset value of the Fund declines beyond a certain threshold. If such features were to be triggered, the counterparties could request immediate settlement of open contracts at current fair value. As of March 31, 2013, the fair value of derivative positions (including open trades) subject to credit-risk-related contingent

features that are in a net liability position by counterparty, and the value of collateral pledged to counterparties for such contracts is as follows:

Collateral
Pledged

 

Global Equity and Income Fund

   Barclays Bank PLC    $ (9,747   $   —   
   Credit Suisse International      (68,146       

Derivatives are subject to the risk that the counterparty will be unwilling or unable to meet its obligations under the contracts. Global Equity and Income Fund has mitigated this risk with respect to forward foreign currency contracts by entering into master netting agreements with counterparties that allow the Fund and the counterparty to offset amounts owed by each related to these derivative contracts to one net amount payable by either the Fund or the counterparty. As of March 31, 2013, based on balances reflected on the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities, the maximum amount of loss that Global Equity and Income Fund would incur if counterparties failed to meet their obligations is $16,962 and the amount of loss that Global Equity and Income Fund would incur after taking into account master netting arrangements is $9,987.

Counterparty risk is managed based on policies and procedures established by each Fund’s adviser. Such policies and procedures may include, but are not limited to, minimum counterparty credit rating requirements, monitoring of counterparty credit default swap spreads and posting of collateral.

Collateral for forward foreign currency contracts is posted based on the requirements established under International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) agreements negotiated between each Fund and the counterparties. This risk of loss to a Fund from counterparty default should be limited to the extent a Fund is undercollateralized; however, final settlement of a Fund’s claim against any collateral received may be subject to bankruptcy court proceedings.

As the Funds value their derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in fair value through the Statements of Operations, they do not qualify for hedge accounting under authoritative guidance for derivative instruments. The Funds’ investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of these disclosures.

These fees are subsequently paid to securities dealers or financial intermediaries for providing personal services and/or account maintenance for their customers who hold such shares.

c.  Administrative Fees.  NGAM Advisors, L.P. (“NGAM Advisors”) provides certain administrative services for the Funds and contracts with State Street Bank to serve as sub-administrator. NGAM Advisors is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Natixis US. Pursuant to an agreement among Natixis Funds Trust I, Natixis Funds Trust II, Natixis Funds Trust IV, Gateway Trust (“Natixis Funds Trusts”), Loomis Sayles Funds I, Loomis Sayles Funds II (“Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts”), Hansberger International Series and NGAM Advisors, each Fund pays NGAM Advisors monthly its pro rata portion of fees equal to an annual rate of 0.0575% of the first $15 billion of the average daily net assets of the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series, 0.0500% of the next $15 billion, 0.0400% of the next $30 billion and 0.0350% of such assets in excess of $60 billion, subject to an annual aggregate minimum fee for the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series of $10 million, which is reevaluated on an annual basis.

For the six months ended March 31, 2013, administrative fees for each Fund were as follows:

d.  Sub-Transfer Agent Fees.  NGAM Distribution has entered into agreements, which include servicing agreements, with financial intermediaries that provide recordkeeping, processing, shareholder communications and other services to customers of the intermediaries that hold positions in the Funds and has agreed to compensate the intermediaries for providing those services. Intermediaries transact with the Funds primarily through the use of omnibus accounts on behalf of their customers who hold positions in the Funds. These services would have been provided by the Funds’ transfer agent and other service providers if the shareholders’ accounts were maintained directly at the Funds’ transfer agent. Accordingly, the Funds have agreed to reimburse NGAM Distribution for all or a portion of the servicing fees paid to these intermediaries. The reimbursement amounts (sub-transfer agent fees) paid to NGAM Distribution are subject to a current per-account equivalent fee limit approved by the Funds’ Board, which is based on fees for similar services paid to the Funds’ transfer agent and other service providers. Class N shares do not bear such expenses.

Chairperson does not receive any meeting attendance fees for Board of Trustees meetings or committee meetings that she attends. Each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) receives, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $115,000. Each Independent Trustee also receives a meeting attendance fee of $10,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends in person and $5,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends telephonically. In addition, each committee chairman receives an additional retainer fee at an annual rate of $17,500. Each Contract Review and Governance Committee member is compensated $6,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,000 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. Each Audit Committee member is compensated $6,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,000 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. These fees are allocated among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series based on a formula that takes into account, among other factors, the relative net assets of each fund. Trustees are reimbursed for travel expenses in connection with attendance at meetings.

Prior to January 1, 2013, the Chairperson of the Board received a retainer fee at the annual rate of $265,000 and each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) received, in aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $95,000. In addition, each committee chairman received an additional retainer fee at an annual rate of $15,000, and each Audit Committee member was compensated $7,500 for each Committee meeting that he or she attended in person and $3,750 for each meeting that he or she attended telephonically.

A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Funds until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts, on the normal payment dates, in certain funds of the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series as designated by the participating Trustees. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are allocated pro rata among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, and Hansberger International Series, and are normally reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statements of Operations. The portions of the accrued obligations allocated to the Funds under the Plan are reflected as Deferred Trustees’ fees on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

g.  Payments by Affiliates.  For the six months ended March 31, 2013, Loomis Sayles reimbursed Growth Fund $811 for losses incurred in connection with a trading error.

Additionally, as of March 31, 2013, Natixis US held shares of Growth Fund, Mid Cap Growth Fund and Value Fund representing less than 1% of each Fund’s net assets.

Investment activities of affiliated shareholders could have material impacts on the Funds.

7.  Class-Specific Expenses.  For the period from February 1, 2013 through March 31, 2013, each Fund incurred the following class-specific expenses:

 

Fund

  

Transfer Agent
Fees and Expenses
Class N

   $         3   

Mid Cap Growth Fund

     3

Transfer agent fees and expenses attributable to Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y and Admin Class are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of those classes.

8.  Line of Credit.  Each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series, participates in a $200,000,000 committed unsecured line of credit provided by State Street Bank, with an individual limit of $125,000,000 for each fund that participates in the line of credit. Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds rate or overnight LIBOR, plus 1.25%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.10% per annum, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, is accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their average daily unused portion of the line of credit.

For the six months ended March 31, 2013, none of the Funds had borrowings under these agreements.

9.  Brokerage Commission Recapture.  Each Fund has entered into agreements with certain brokers whereby the brokers will rebate a portion of brokerage commissions. All amounts rebated by the brokers are returned to the Funds under such agreements and are included in realized gains on investments on the Statements of Operations. For the six months ended March 31, 2013, amounts rebated under these agreements were as follows:

Growth Fund

     426   

Mid Cap Growth Fund

     9,166   

Value Fund

     21,906   

10.  Concentration of Risk.  Each Fund’s investments in foreign securities are subject to foreign currency fluctuations, higher volatility than U.S. securities, varying degrees of regulation and limited liquidity. Greater political, economic, credit and information risks are also associated with foreign securities.

11.  Concentration of Ownership.  From time to time, a Fund may have a concentration of one or more accounts constituting a significant percentage of shares outstanding. Investment activities by holders of such accounts could have material impacts on the Funds. As of March 31, 2013, based on management’s evaluation of the shareholder account base, the Funds had accounts representing controlling ownership of more than 5% of the Fund’s total outstanding shares. The number of such accounts, based on accounts that represent more than 5% of an individual class of shares, and the aggregate percentage of net assets represented by such holdings was as follows:

Omnibus shareholder accounts for which NGAM Advisors understands that the intermediary has discretion over the underlying shareholder accounts are included in the table above. For other omnibus accounts, the Funds do not have information on the individual shareholder accounts underlying omnibus accounts; therefore, there could be other 5% shareholders in addition to those disclosed in the table above.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The table does not reflect taxes shareholders might owe on any fund distributions or when they redeem their shares. Performance for periods less than one year is cumulative, not annualized. Returns reflect changes in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any. Unlike a fund, an index is not managed and does not reflect fees and expenses.

 

1 Performance for Class B shares assumes a maximum 5% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) applied when you sell shares, which declines annually between years 1-6 according to the following schedule: 5, 4, 3, 3, 2, 1, 0%. Class C shares performance assumes a 1% CDSC applied when you sell shares within one year of purchase.

 

2 Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged index that covers the U.S.-dollar denominated, investment-grade, fixed-rate, taxable bond market of SEC-registered securities. The index includes bonds from the Treasury, government-related, corporate, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, and collateralized mortgage-backed securities sectors.

 

3 Fund performance has been increased by fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, without which performance would have been lower.

Objective

Seeks high total return through a combination of high current income and capital appreciation

 

 

Strategy

Under normal market conditions, the Fund expects to invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings made for investment purposes) in fixed income securities. The Fund is non-diversified, which means that it may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer and may invest in fewer issuers than a diversified fund. The Fund invests primarily (at least 65% of its net assets) in fixed-income securities of issuers located outside the United States, including issuers located in emerging market countries. The Fund invests primarily in investment-grade fixed-income securities. The Fund may invest up to 35% of its assets in below investment-grade fixed-income securities.

UNDERSTANDING FUND EXPENSES

As a mutual fund shareholder, you incur different costs: transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions, and ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service fees (12b-1 fees), and other fund expenses. Certain exemptions may apply. These costs are described in more detail in the funds’ prospectuses. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the funds and help you compare these with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The first line in the table of each class of fund shares shows the actual account values and actual fund expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in the fund from October 1, 2012 (February 1, 2013 for Class N) through March 31, 2013. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60) and multiply the result by the number in the Expenses Paid During Period column as shown below for your class.

The second line in the table of each class of fund shares provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund’s actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid on your investment for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund 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 reflect ongoing costs only, and do not include any transaction costs such as sales charges. Therefore, the second line in the table of each fund is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included, total costs would be higher.

1.  Organization.  Natixis Funds Trust I and Loomis Sayles Funds II (the “Trusts” and each a “Trust”) are each organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Each Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. Each Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees to authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of the Trust in multiple series. The financial statements for certain funds of the Trusts are presented in separate reports. The following funds (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are included in this report:

Natixis Funds Trust I:

Loomis Sayles Core Plus Bond Fund (the “Core Plus Bond Fund”)

Loomis Sayles Funds II:

Loomis Sayles High Income Fund (the “High Income Fund”)

Loomis Sayles International Bond Fund (the “International Bond Fund”)

Loomis Sayles Limited Term Government and Agency Fund (the “Limited Term Government and Agency Fund”)

Each Fund is a diversified investment company, except for International Bond Fund, which is a non-diversified investment company.

The Funds each offer Class A, Class C and Class Y shares. Effective February 1, 2013, Core Plus Bond Fund began offering Class N shares. Effective October 12, 2007, Class B shares are no longer offered. Existing Class B shareholders may continue to reinvest dividends into Class B shares and exchange their Class B shares for Class B shares of other Natixis Funds subject to existing exchange privileges as described in the prospectus.

Class A shares of all Funds except Limited Term Government and Agency Fund are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.50%. Class A shares of Limited Term Government and Agency Fund are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 3.00%. Class B shares do not pay a front-end sales charge; however, they are charged higher Rule 12b-1 fees, and are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) if such shares are redeemed within six years of purchase. After eight years of ownership, Class B shares convert to Class A shares. Class C shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, do not convert to any other class of shares, pay higher Rule 12b-1 fees than Class A shares and may be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% if those shares are redeemed within one year of acquisition, except for reinvested distributions. Class N and Class Y shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, a CDSC or Rule 12b-1 fees. Class N shares are offered exclusively through intermediaries and are primarily intended for employer-sponsored retirement plans. Class Y shares are intended for institutional investors with a minimum initial investment of $100,000, though some categories of investors are exempted from the minimum investment amount as outlined in the Funds’ prospectus.

Most expenses of the Trusts can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a fund are generally apportioned based on the relative net assets of each of the funds in the Trusts. Expenses of a Fund are borne pro rata by the holders of each class of shares, except that each class bears expenses unique to that class (including the Rule 12b-1 service and distribution fees and transfer agent fees for Class N). In addition, each class votes as a class only with respect to its own Rule 12b-1 Plan. Shares of each class would receive their pro rata share of the net assets of a Fund if the Fund were liquidated. The Trustees approve separate distributions from net investment income on each class of shares.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies.  The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has evaluated the events and transactions subsequent to period-end through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no material events that would require disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.

a.  Valuation.  Debt securities (other than short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less) and unlisted equity securities are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Funds by an independent pricing service recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees, which service determines valuations for normal, institutional-size trading units of such securities using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders. Senior loans are priced at bid prices supplied by an independent pricing service, if available. Equity securities, including shares of closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds, for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value, as reported by independent pricing services recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Such independent pricing services generally use the security’s last sale price on the exchange or market where the security is primarily traded or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), or if lacking a NOCP, at the most recent bid quotation on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Broker-dealer bid prices may also be used to value debt and equity securities and senior loans where an independent pricing service is unable to price a security or where an independent pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued utilizing interpolated prices determined from information provided by an independent pricing service. Futures contracts are valued at their most recent settlement price.

Credit default swap agreements are valued at mid prices (between the bid and the ask price) supplied by an independent pricing service, if available, or prices obtained from broker-dealers. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each day. Short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Funds’ investment adviser using consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.

Certain Funds may hold securities traded in foreign markets. Foreign securities are valued at the closing market price in the foreign market. However, if events occurring after the close of the foreign market (but before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange) are believed to materially affect the value of those securities, such securities are fair valued pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. When fair valuing securities, the Funds may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the Funds calculate their net asset values.

b.  Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income.  Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one day basis for daily net asset value calculation. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date, or in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as a Fund is notified, and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of premium. Periodic principal adjustments for inflation-protected securities are recorded to interest income. Negative principal adjustments (in the event of deflation) are recorded as reductions of interest income to the extent of interest income earned, not to exceed the amount of positive principal adjustments on a cumulative basis. In determining net gain or loss on securities sold, the cost of securities has been determined on an identified cost basis. Investment income, non-class specific expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund.

c.  Foreign Currency Translation.  The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions.

Since the values of investment securities are presented at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, it is not practical to isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates from fluctuations which arise due to changes in market prices of investment securities. Such changes are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, at the end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

Each Fund may use foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated investments. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts’ terms.

d.  Forward Foreign Currency Contracts.  The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts, including forward foreign cross currency contracts to acquire exposure to foreign currencies or to hedge the Funds’ investments against currency fluctuation. A contract can also be used to offset a previous contract. These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The U.S. dollar value of the currencies a Fund has committed to buy or sell represents the aggregate exposure to each currency a Fund has acquired or hedged through currency contracts outstanding at period end. Gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until settlement date. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Certain contracts may require the movement of cash and/or securities as collateral for the Funds’ or counterparty’s net obligations under the contracts.

e.  Futures Contracts.  The Funds may enter into futures contracts. Futures contracts are agreements between two parties to buy and sell a particular commodity, instrument or index for a specified price on a specified future date.

When a Fund enters into a futures contract, it is required to deposit with (or for the benefit of) its broker an amount of cash or short-term high-quality securities as “initial margin.” As the value of the contract changes, the value of the futures contract position increases or declines. Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made or received by a Fund, depending on the price fluctuations in the fair value of the contract and the value of cash or securities on deposit with the broker. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

March 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset (liability) and in the Statements of Operations as unrealized appreciation (depreciation) until the contracts are closed, when they are recorded as realized gains (losses). Realized gain or loss on a futures position is 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, minus brokerage commissions. When a Fund enters into a futures contract certain risks may arise, such as illiquidity in the futures market, which may limit a Fund’s ability to close out a futures contract prior to settlement date, and unanticipated movements in the value of securities or interest rates.

Futures contracts are exchange-traded. Exchange-traded futures contracts are standardized and are settled through a clearing house with fulfillment supported by the credit of the exchange. Therefore, counterparty credit risks to the Funds are reduced; however, in the event that a counterparty enters into bankruptcy, the Fund’s claim against initial/variation margin on deposit with the counterparty may be subject to terms of a final settlement in bankruptcy court.

f.  Swap Agreements.  Each Fund may enter into credit default swaps. A credit default swap is an agreement between two parties (the “protection buyer” and “protection seller”) to exchange the credit risk of an issuer (“reference obligation”) for a specified time period. The reference obligation may be one or more debt securities or an index of such securities. The Funds may be either the protection buyer or the protection seller. As a protection buyer, the Funds have the ability to hedge the downside risk of an issuer or group of issuers. As a protection seller, the Funds have the ability to gain exposure to an issuer or group of issuers whose bonds are unavailable or in short supply in the cash bond market, as well as realize additional income in the form of fees paid by the protection buyer. The protection buyer is obligated to pay the protection seller a stream of payments (“fees”) over the term of the contract, provided that no credit event, such as a default or a downgrade in credit rating, occurs on the reference obligation. The Funds may also pay or receive upfront premiums. If a credit event occurs, the protection seller must pay the protection buyer the difference between the agreed upon notional value and market value of the reference obligation. Market value in this case is determined by a facilitated auction whereby a minimum number of allowable broker bids, together with a specified valuation method, are used to calculate the value. The maximum potential amount of undiscounted future payments that a Fund as the protection seller could be required to make under a credit default swap agreement would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the agreement.

The notional amounts of credit default swaps are not recorded in the financial statements. Credit default swaps are valued daily, and fluctuations in the value are recorded in the Statements of Operations as change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on swap agreements. Fees are accrued in accordance with the terms of the agreement and are recorded in the Statements of Operations as realized gain or

Table of Contents

March 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

loss when received or paid. Upfront premiums paid or received by the Funds are recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset or liability, respectively, and are amortized or accreted over the term of the agreement and recorded as realized gain or loss. Payments made or received by the Funds as a result of a credit event or termination of the agreement are recorded as realized gain or loss.

Credit default swaps are privately negotiated and traded between counterparties and, as such, are subject to the risk that a party to the agreement will not be able to meet its obligations. The Funds cover their net obligations under outstanding credit default swaps by segregating or earmarking liquid assets or cash.

No credit default swaps were held by the Funds during the six months ended March 31, 2013.

g.  Due to Brokers.  Transactions and positions in certain futures and forward foreign currency contracts are maintained and cleared by registered U.S. broker/dealers pursuant to customer agreements between the Fund and the various broker/dealers. Due to brokers’ balances in the Statements of Asset and Liabilities for High Income Fund represent securities received as collateral for forward foreign currency contracts. In certain circumstances the Fund’s use of cash and/or securities held at brokers is restricted by regulation or broker mandated limits.

h.  Federal and Foreign Income Taxes.  Each Trust treats each fund as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains at least annually. Management has performed an analysis of each Fund’s tax positions for the open tax years as of March 31, 2013 and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. The Funds’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management is not aware of any events that are reasonably possible to occur in the next six months that would result in the amounts of any unrecognized tax benefits significantly increasing or decreasing for the Funds. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws and accounting regulations and interpretations thereof.

A Fund may be subject to foreign withholding taxes on investment income and taxes on capital gains on investments that are accrued and paid based upon the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the countries in which the Fund invests. Foreign withholding taxes on dividend and interest income are reflected on the Statements of Operations as a reduction of investment income, net of amounts eligible to be reclaimed. Dividends and interest receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are net of foreign withholding taxes. Foreign withholding taxes eligible to

Table of Contents

March 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

be reclaimed are reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as tax reclaims receivable. Capital gains taxes paid are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statements of Operations. Accrued but unpaid capital gains taxes are reflected as foreign taxes payable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, if applicable, and reduce unrealized gains on investments. In the event that realized gains on investments are subsequently offset by realized losses, taxes paid on realized gains may be returned to a Fund. Such amounts, if applicable, are reflected as foreign tax rebates receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are recorded as a realized gain when received.

i.  Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders.  Dividends and distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gain distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Permanent differences are primarily due to differing treatments for book and tax purposes of items such as foreign currency transactions, contingent payment debt instruments, preferred securities adjustments, premium amortization, defaulted bond adjustments, paydown gains and losses and distribution redesignations. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to capital accounts. Temporary differences between book and tax distributable earnings are primarily due to deferred Trustees’ fees, wash sales, premium amortization, forward foreign currency contract mark to market, dividends payable, return of capital dividend received, preferred securities adjustments, contingent payment debt instruments and defaulted bond interest. Distributions from net investment income and short-term capital gains are considered to be distributed from ordinary income for tax purposes.

The tax characterization of distributions is determined on an annual basis. The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the year ended September 30, 2012 was as follows:

j.  Repurchase Agreements.  It is each Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Certain repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf of the counterparty. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty, including possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities.

k.  Delayed Delivery Commitments.  The Funds may purchase securities, including those designated as TBAs in the Portfolio of Investments, for which delivery or payment will occur at a later date, beyond the normal settlement period. The price of the security and the date when the security will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The security and the obligation to pay for it are recorded by the Funds at the time the commitment is entered into. The actual security that will be delivered to fulfill a TBA trade is not designated at the time of the trade. The security is “to be announced” 48 hours prior to the established trade settlement date. The value of the security may vary with market fluctuations during the time before the Funds take delivery of the security. When the Funds enter into such a transaction, collateral consisting of liquid securities or cash and cash equivalents is required to be segregated or earmarked at the custodian in an amount at least equal to the amount of the Funds’ commitment. No interest accrues to each Fund until the transaction settles.

Purchases of delayed delivery securities may have a similar effect on the Funds’ net asset value as if the Funds had created a degree of leverage in the portfolio. Risks may arise upon entering into such transactions from the potential inability of counterparties to meet their obligations under the transactions. Additionally, losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities.

l.  Securities Lending.  The Funds have entered into an agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street Bank”), as agent of the Funds, to lend securities to certain designated borrowers. The loans are collateralized with cash or securities in an amount equal to at least 105% or 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of the loaned international or domestic securities, respectively, when the loan is initiated. Thereafter, the value of the collateral must remain at least 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. equities and U.S. corporate debt; at least 105% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for non-U.S. equities; and at least 100% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. Government securities, sovereign debt issued by non-U.S. Governments and non-U.S. corporate debt. In the event that the market value of the collateral falls below the required percentages described above, the borrower will deliver additional collateral on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds may bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment

of the collateral. The Funds invest cash collateral in short-term investments, a portion of the income from which is remitted to the borrowers and the remainder allocated between the Funds and State Street Bank as lending agent.

For the six months ended March 31, 2013, none of the Funds had loaned securities under this agreement.

m.  Indemnifications.  Under the Trusts’ organizational documents, their officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, 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.

n.  New Accounting Pronouncement.  In December 2011, Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11, “Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities” was issued and is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after January 1, 2013. The ASU creates new disclosure requirements with respect to an entity’s rights of setoff and related arrangements associated with its financial and derivative instruments. Management is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2011-11 may have on the Funds’ financial statement disclosures.

3.  Fair Value Measurements.  In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Funds have categorized the inputs utilized in determining the value of each Fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

   

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

   

Level 2 – prices determined using other significant inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.); and

 

   

Level 3 – prices determined using significant unobservable inputs when quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an asset or liability (unobservable inputs reflect each Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities and would be based on the best information available).

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

The Funds’ pricing policies and procedures are recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Debt securities are generally valued on

the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Funds by an independent pricing service. Broker-dealer bid prices may be used if an independent pricing service either is unable to price a security or does not provide a reliable price for a security. Broker-dealer bid prices for which the Funds do not have knowledge of the inputs used by the broker-dealer are categorized in Level 3. All security prices, including those obtained from an independent pricing service and broker-dealer bid prices, are reviewed on a daily basis by the investment adviser, subject to oversight by Fund management and the Board of Trustees. If the investment adviser, in good faith, believes that the price provided by an independent pricing service is unreliable, broker-dealer bid prices may be used until the price provided by the independent pricing service is considered to be reliable. Reliability of all security prices, including those obtained from an independent pricing service and broker-dealer bid prices, is tested in a variety of ways, including comparison to recent transaction prices and daily fluctuations, amongst other validation procedures in place.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of March 31, 2013, at value:

Debt securities valued at $12,914,759 were transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 during the period ended March 31, 2013. At March 31, 2013, these securities were valued using broker-dealer bid prices based on inputs unobservable to the Fund as an independent pricing service was unable to price the securities.

Debt securities valued at $2,893,281 were transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 during the period ended March 31, 2013. At March 31, 2013, these securities were valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service in accordance with the Fund’s valuation policies.

All transfers are recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period.

4.  Derivatives.  Derivative instruments are defined as financial instruments whose value and performance are based on the value and performance of another security or financial instrument. Derivative instruments that High Income Fund and International Bond Fund used during the period include forward foreign currency contracts and futures contracts.

High Income Fund and International Bond Fund are subject to the risk that changes in foreign currency exchange rates will have an unfavorable effect on the value of Fund assets denominated in foreign currencies. The Funds may enter into forward foreign currency contracts for hedging purposes to protect the value of the Funds’ holdings of foreign securities. The Funds may also use forward foreign currency contracts to gain exposure to foreign currencies, regardless of whether securities denominated in such currencies are held in the Funds. During the six months ended March 31, 2013, High Income Fund engaged in forward foreign currency transactions for hedging purposes. During the same period, International Bond Fund engaged in forward foreign currency transactions for hedging purposes and to gain exposure to foreign currencies.

International Bond Fund is subject to the risk that changes in interest rates will affect the value of the Fund’s investments in fixed income securities. The Fund will be subject to increased interest rate risk to the extent that it invests in fixed-income securities with longer maturities or durations, as compared to investing in fixed-income securities with shorter maturities or durations. The Fund may use futures contracts to hedge against changes in interest rates and to manage their duration without having to buy or sell portfolio securities. During the six months ended March 31, 2013, International Bond Fund used futures contracts to manage duration.

High Income Fund and International Bond Fund are party to agreements with counterparties that govern transactions in forward foreign currency contracts. These agreements contain credit-risk-related contingent features that allow the counterparties to terminate open contracts early if the net asset value of a Fund declines beyond a certain threshold. If such features were to be triggered, the counterparties could request immediate settlement of open contracts at current fair value. As of March 31, 2013, the fair value of derivative positions (including open trades)

March 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

subject to credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a net liability position by counterparty, and the value of collateral pledged to counterparties for such contracts is as follows:

 

Fund

  

Counterparty

  

Derivatives

  

Collateral Pledged

International Bond Fund

   Barclays Bank PLC    $(14,332)    $  —

Derivatives are subject to the risk that the counterparty will be unwilling or unable to meet its obligations under the contracts. The Funds have mitigated this risk with respect to forward foreign currency contracts by entering into master netting agreements with counterparties that allow the Fund and the counterparty to offset amounts owed by each related to these derivative contracts to one net amount payable by either the Fund or the counterparty. Based on balances reflected on each Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities, including securities held at counterparties for initial/variation margin that could be subject to the terms of a final settlement in a bankruptcy court proceeding, the maximum amount of loss that the Funds would incur if counterparties failed to meet their obligations and the amount of loss that the Funds would incur after taking into account master netting arrangements are as follows as of March 31, 2013:

 

Fund

  

Maximum Amount of

Loss – Gross

    

Maximum Amount of

Loss – Net

 

High Income Fund

   $ 672,615       $ 668,954   

International Bond Fund

     52,515         42,878   

These amounts do not take into account the value of U.S. government and agency securities received as collateral by High Income Fund in the amount of $650,244. Collateral is valued in accordance with the Fund’s valuation policies and is recorded on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Counterparty risk is managed based on policies and procedures established by each Fund’s adviser. Such policies and procedures may include, but are not limited to, minimum counterparty credit rating requirements, monitoring of counterparty credit default swap spreads and posting of collateral.

Collateral for forward foreign currency contracts is posted based on the requirements established under International Swaps and Derivatives Association (“ISDA”) agreements negotiated between each Fund and the counterparties. This risk of loss to a Fund from counterparty default should be limited to the extent a Fund is undercollateralized; however, final settlement of a Fund’s claim against any collateral received or initial/variation margin pledged may be subject to bankruptcy court proceedings.

As the Funds value their derivatives at fair value and recognize changes in fair value through the Statements of Operations, they do not qualify for hedge accounting under authoritative guidance for derivative instruments. The Funds’ investments in derivatives may represent an economic hedge; however, they are considered to be non-hedge transactions for the purpose of these disclosures.

The volume of forward foreign currency contract and future contract activity, as a percentage of net assets, based on gross month-end notional amounts outstanding during the period, including long and short positions at absolute value, was as follows for the six months ended March 31, 2013:

Unrealized gain and/or loss on open forwards and futures is recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The aggregate notional values of forwards and futures contracts are not recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, and therefore are not included in the Funds’ net assets.

intermediaries for providing those services. Intermediaries transact with the Funds primarily through the use of omnibus accounts on behalf of their customers who hold positions in the Funds. These services would have been provided by the Funds’ transfer agent and other service providers if the shareholders’ accounts were maintained directly at the Funds’ transfer agent. Accordingly, the Funds have agreed to reimburse NGAM Distribution for all or a portion of the servicing fees paid to these intermediaries. The reimbursement amounts (sub-transfer agent fees) paid to NGAM Distribution are subject to a current per-account equivalent fee limit approved by the Funds’ Board, which is based on fees for similar services paid to the Funds’ transfer agent and other service providers. Class N shares do not bear such expenses.

For the six months ended March 31, 2013, the sub-transfer agent fees (which are reflected in transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statements of Operations) for each Fund were as follows:

The Chairperson does not receive any meeting attendance fees for Board of Trustees meetings or committee meetings that she attends. Each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) receives, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $115,000. Each Independent Trustee also receives a meeting attendance fee of $10,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends in person and $5,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends telephonically. In addition, each committee chairman receives an additional retainer fee at an annual rate of $17,500. Each Contract Review and Governance Committee member is compensated $6,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,000 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. Each Audit Committee member is compensated $6,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,000 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. These fees are allocated among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series based on a formula that takes into account, among other factors, the relative net assets of each fund. Trustees are reimbursed for travel expenses in connection with attendance at meetings.

Prior to January 1, 2013, the Chairperson of the Board received a retainer fee at the annual rate of $265,000 and each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) received, in aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $95,000.

A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Funds until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts, on the normal payment dates, in certain funds of the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series as designated by the participating Trustees. Changes in the value

of participants’ deferral accounts are allocated pro rata among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, and Hansberger International Series, and are normally reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statements of Operations. The portions of the accrued obligations allocated to the Funds under the Plan are reflected as Deferred Trustees’ fees in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Transfer agent fees and expenses attributable to Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of those classes.

8.  Line of Credit.  Each Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series, participates in a $200,000,000 committed unsecured line of credit provided by State Street Bank, with an individual limit of $125,000,000 for each fund that participates in the line of credit. Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds rate or overnight LIBOR, plus 1.25%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.10% per annum, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, is accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their average daily unused portion of the line of credit.

For the six months ended March 31, 2013, none of the Funds had borrowings under these agreements.

9.  Concentration of Risk.  International Bond Fund is a non-diversified fund. Compared with diversified mutual funds, International Bond Fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular country. Therefore, International Bond Fund’s returns could be significantly affected by the performance of any one of the small number of countries in its portfolio.

Each Fund’s investments in foreign securities are subject to foreign currency fluctuations, higher volatility than U.S. securities, varying degrees of regulation and limited liquidity. Greater political, economic, credit and information risks are also associated with foreign securities.

10.  Corporate Tax Expense.  Loomis Sayles Limited Term Government and Agency Fund paid federal corporate income taxes in the amount of $224,327 on undistributed net long-term capital gains as of September 30, 2012.

11.  Concentration of Ownership.  From time to time, a Fund may have a concentration of one or more accounts constituting a significant percentage of shares outstanding. Investment activities by holders of such accounts could have material impacts on the Funds. As of March 31, 2013, based on management’s evaluation of the shareholder account base, the Funds had accounts representing controlling ownership of more than 5% of the Fund’s total outstanding shares. The number of such accounts, based on accounts that represent more than 5% of an individual class of shares, and the aggregate percentage of net assets represented by such holdings was as follows:

Omnibus shareholder accounts for which NGAM Advisors understands that the intermediary has discretion over the underlying shareholder accounts are included in the table above. For other omnibus accounts, the Fund does not have information on the individual shareholder accounts underlying omnibus accounts; therefore, there could be other 5% shareholders in addition to those disclosed in the table above.

* Effective October 22, 2012, Kathleen Gaffney no longer serves as a portfolio manager of the fund.

 

 

Objective

High total investment return through a combination of current income and capital appreciation.

 

 

Strategy

Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings made for investment purposes) in investment-grade, fixed-income securities, although it may invest up to 10% of its assets in below investment-grade fixed-income securities and up to 10% of its assets in equity securities (including up to 5% in common stocks). The Fund may also invest any portion of its assets in securities of Canadian issuers and up to 20% of its assets in securities of other foreign issuers, including emerging markets securities.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The table does not reflect taxes shareholders might owe on any fund distributions or when they redeem their shares. Returns reflect changes in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any. Unlike a fund, an index is not managed and does not reflect fees and expenses.

 

1 Prior to 9/15/03, performance of Class A shares is that of Retail Class shares, which were redesignated as Class A shares, restated to reflect the sales load of Class A shares. Prior to the inception of Class B and C shares (9/12/03), performance is that of Institutional Class shares, which were redesignated as Class Y shares, restated to reflect the higher net expenses and sales loads of Class B and C shares. Prior to the inception of Admin Class shares (2/1/10), performance is that of Class A shares, restated to reflect the higher net expenses of Admin Class shares.

 

2 Performance for Class B shares assumes a maximum 5% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) applied when you sell shares, which declines annually between years 1-6 according to the following schedule: 5, 4, 3, 3, 2, 1, 0%. Class C shares performance assumes a 1% CDSC applied when you sell shares within one year of purchase.

 

3 Barclays U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index is an unmanaged index that includes U.S. Treasuries, government-related issues, and investment grade U.S. corporate securities.

 

4 Fund performance has been increased by fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, without which performance would have been lower.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES

As a mutual fund shareholder, you incur different types of costs: transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions; and ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution fees (12b-1 fees) and/or service fees, and other fund expenses. These costs are described in more detail in the fund’s prospectus. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and help you compare these with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The first line in the table for each class shows the actual amount of fund expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in the fund from October 1, 2012 (from February 1, 2013, for Class N) through March 31, 2013. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual fund returns and expenses. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.60) and multiply the result by the number in the Expenses Paid During Period row as shown below for your class.

The second line in the table for each class provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund’s actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid on your investment for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund 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 reflect ongoing costs only, and do not include any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line in the table of the fund is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included, total costs would be higher.

1.  Organization.  Loomis Sayles Funds II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees to authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of the Trust in multiple series. The financial statements for certain funds of the Trust are presented in separate reports. Information presented in these financial statements pertains to Loomis Sayles Investment Grade Bond Fund (the “Fund”).

The Fund is a diversified investment company.

The Fund offers Class A, Class C, Class Y and Admin Class shares. Effective February 1, 2013, the Fund began offering Class N shares. Effective after the close of business on January 11, 2012, Class J shares were liquidated. Effective October 12, 2007, Class B shares are no longer offered. Existing Class B shareholders may continue to reinvest dividends into Class B shares and exchange their Class B shares for Class B shares of other Natixis Funds subject to existing exchange privileges as described in the prospectus.

Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.50%. Class B shares do not pay a front-end sales charge; however, they are charged higher Rule 12b-1 fees, and are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) if such shares are redeemed within six years of purchase. After eight years of ownership, Class B shares convert to Class A shares. Class C shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, do not convert to any other class of shares, pay higher Rule 12b-1 fees than Class A shares and may be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% if those shares are redeemed within one year of acquisition, except for reinvested distributions. Class N and Class Y shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, a CDSC or Rule 12b-1 fees. Class N shares are primarily intended for employer-sponsored retirement plans. Class Y shares are intended for institutional investors with a minimum initial investment of $100,000, though some categories of investors are exempted from the minimum investment amount as outlined in the Fund’s prospectus. Admin Class shares do not pay a front-end sales charge or a CDSC, but do pay a Rule 12b-1 fee. Class N and Admin Class shares are offered exclusively through intermediaries.

Most expenses of the Trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a fund are generally apportioned based on the relative net assets of each of the funds in the Trust. Expenses of the Fund are borne pro rata by the holders of each class of shares, except that each class bears expenses unique to that class (Rule 12b-1 service and distribution fees for Class A, Class B, Class C and Admin Class and transfer agent fees for Class N). In addition, each class votes as a class only with respect to its own Rule 12b-1 Plan. Shares of each class would receive their pro rata share of the net assets of the Fund if the Fund were liquidated. The Trustees approve separate distributions from net investment income on each class of shares.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies.  The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial

statements. The Fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has evaluated the events and transactions subsequent to period-end through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no material events that would require disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

a.  Valuation.  Debt securities (other than short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less) and unlisted equity securities are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees, which service determines valuations for normal, institutional-size trading units of such securities using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders. Senior loans are priced at bid prices supplied by an independent pricing service, if available. Equity securities, including shares of closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds, for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value, as reported by independent pricing services recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Such independent pricing services generally use the security’s last sale price on the exchange or market where the security is primarily traded or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), or if lacking a NOCP, at the most recent bid quotation on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Broker-dealer bid prices may also be used to value debt and equity securities and senior loans where an independent pricing service is unable to price a security or where an independent pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued utilizing interpolated prices determined from information provided by an independent pricing service. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each day. Short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund’s investment adviser using consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.

The Fund may hold securities traded in foreign markets. Foreign securities are valued at the closing market price in the foreign market. However, if events occurring after the close of the foreign market (but before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange) are believed to materially affect the value of those securities, such securities are fair valued on a daily basis pursuant to procedures approved by the

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

March 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

Board of Trustees. When fair valuing securities, the Fund may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the Fund calculates its net asset value.

b.  Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income.  Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one day basis for daily net asset value calculation. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of premium. In determining net gain or loss on securities sold, the cost of securities has been determined on an identified cost basis. Investment income, non-class specific expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund.

c.  Foreign Currency Translation.  The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions.

Since the values of investment securities are presented at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, it is not practical to isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates from fluctuations which arise due to changes in market prices of investment securities. Such changes are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, at the end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

The Fund may use foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated investments. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts’ terms.

d.  Forward Foreign Currency Contracts.  The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge the Fund’s investments against currency fluctuation. A contract can also be used to offset a previous contract. These contracts involve market risk in excess of the unrealized gain or loss reflected in the Fund’s Statement of Assets

and Liabilities. The U.S. dollar value of the currencies the Fund has committed to buy or sell represents the aggregate exposure to each currency the Fund has acquired or hedged through currency contracts outstanding at period end. Gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized until settlement date. Risks may arise upon entering into these contracts from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Certain contracts may require the movement of cash and/or securities as collateral for the Fund’s or counterparty’s net obligations under the contracts.

No forward foreign currency contracts were held by the Fund during the six months ended March 31, 2013.

e.  Federal and Foreign Income Taxes.  The Trust treats each fund as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. The Fund intends to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains at least annually. Management has performed an analysis of the Fund’s tax positions for the open tax years as of March 31, 2013 and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. The Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management is not aware of any events that are reasonably possible to occur in the next six months that would result in the amounts of any unrecognized tax benefits significantly increasing or decreasing for the Fund. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws and accounting regulations and interpretations thereof.

The Fund may be subject to foreign withholding taxes on investment income and taxes on capital gains on investments that are accrued and paid based upon the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the countries in which the Fund invests. Foreign withholding taxes on dividend and interest income are reflected on the Statement of Operations as a reduction of investment income, net of amounts eligible to be reclaimed. Dividends and interest receivable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are net of foreign withholding taxes. Foreign withholding taxes eligible to be reclaimed are reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as tax reclaims receivable. Capital gains taxes paid are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statement of Operations. Accrued but unpaid capital gains taxes are reflected as foreign taxes payable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if applicable, and reduce unrealized gains on investments. In the event that realized gains on investments are subsequently offset by realized losses, taxes paid on realized gains may be returned to the Fund. Such amounts, if applicable, are reflected as foreign tax rebates receivable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and are recorded as a realized gain when received.

f.  Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders.  Dividends and distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gain distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Permanent differences are primarily due to differing treatments for book and tax purposes of items such as foreign currency transactions, paydown adjustments and premium amortization. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to capital accounts. Temporary differences between book and tax distributable earnings are primarily due to premium amortization, deferred Trustees’ fees, defaulted bond accruals, contingent payment debt instruments and wash sales. Distributions from net investment income and short-term capital gains are considered to be distributed from ordinary income for tax purposes.

The tax characterization of distributions is determined on an annual basis. The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the year ended September 30, 2012 was as follows:

 

2012 Distributions Paid From:

 

Ordinary

Income

  

Long-Term

Capital Gains

    

Total

 

$556,649,900

     $70,317,816         $626,967,716   

Differences between these amounts and those reported in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets are primarily attributable to different book and tax treatment for short-term capital gains.

g.  Repurchase Agreements.  It is the Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Certain repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf of the counterparty. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty including possible delays or restrictions upon the Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities.

h.  Securities Lending.  The Fund has entered into an agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street Bank”), as agent of the Fund, to lend securities to certain designated borrowers. The loans are collateralized with cash or securities in an amount equal to at least 105% or 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of the loaned international or domestic securities, respectively, when the loan is initiated. Thereafter, the value of the collateral must remain at least 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. equities and U.S. corporate debt; at least 105% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for non-U.S. equities; and at least 100% of the market value (including

accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. Government securities, sovereign debt issued by non-U.S. Governments and non-U.S. corporate debt. In the event that the market value of the collateral falls below the required percentages described above, the borrower will deliver additional collateral on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Fund may bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of the collateral. The Fund invests cash collateral in short-term investments, a portion of the income from which is remitted to the borrowers and the remainder allocated between the Fund and State Street Bank as lending agent.

For the six months ended March 31, 2013, the Fund did not loan securities under this agreement.

i.  Indemnifications.  Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

3.  Fair Value Measurements.  In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Fund has categorized the inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

   

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

   

Level 2 – prices determined using other significant inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.); and

 

   

Level 3 – prices determined using significant unobservable inputs when quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an asset or liability (unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities and would be based on the best information available).

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

(a) Details of the major categories of the Fund’s investments are reflected within the Portfolio of Investments.
(b) Valued using broker-dealer bid prices.

The Fund’s pricing policies and procedures are recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Debt securities are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service. Broker-dealer bid prices may be used if an independent pricing service either is unable to price a security or does not provide a reliable price for a security. Broker-dealer bid prices for which the Fund does not have knowledge of the inputs used by the broker-dealer are categorized in Level 3. All security prices, including those obtained from an independent pricing service and broker-dealer bid prices, are reviewed on a daily basis by the investment adviser, subject to oversight by Fund management and the Board of Trustees. If the investment adviser, in good faith, believes that the price provided by an independent pricing service is unreliable, broker-dealer bid prices may be used until the

price provided by the independent pricing service is considered to be reliable. Reliability of all security prices, including those obtained from an independent pricing service and broker-dealer bid prices, is tested in a variety of ways, including comparison to recent transaction prices and daily fluctuations, amongst other validation procedures in place.

The following is a reconciliation of Level 3 investments for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value as of September 30, 2012 and/or March 31, 2013:

A debt security valued at $1,490,024 was transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 during the period ended March 31, 2013. At March 31, 2013, this security was valued using broker-dealer bid prices based on inputs unobservable to the Fund as an independent pricing service did not provide a reliable price for the security.

A debt security valued at $38,219,714 was transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 during the period ended March 31, 2013. At March 31, 2013, this security was valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service in accordance with the Fund’s valuation policies.

Debt securities valued at $342,040,707 were transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 during the period ended March 31, 2013. At March 31, 2013, these securities were valued using broker-dealer bid prices based on inputs unobservable to the Fund as an independent pricing service was unable to price the securities.

All transfers are recognized as of the beginning of the reporting period.

4.  Purchases and Sales of Securities.  For the six months ended March 31, 2013, purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term investments and U.S. Government/Agency securities and including paydowns) were $1,148,103,886 and $953,492,739, respectively.

a.  Management Fees.  Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. (“Loomis Sayles”) serves as investment adviser to the Fund. Under the terms of the management agreement, the Fund pays a management fee at the annual rate of 0.40% of average daily net assets, calculated daily and payable monthly.

Loomis Sayles has given a binding undertaking to the Fund to waive management fees and/or reimburse certain expenses to limit the Fund’s operating expenses, exclusive of acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage expenses, interest expense, taxes and extraordinary expenses. This undertaking is in effect until January 31, 2014 and is reevaluated on an annual basis. Management fees payable, as reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, is net of waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to these undertakings.

For the six months ended March 31, 2013, the expense limits as a percentage of average daily net assets under the expense limitation agreement were as follows:

Loomis Sayles shall be permitted to recover expenses it has borne under the expense limitation agreement (whether through waiver of its management fees or otherwise) on a class by class basis in later periods to the extent the annual operating expenses of a class fall below a class’ expense limits, provided, however, that a class is not obligated to pay such waived/reimbursed fees or expenses more than one year after the end of the fiscal year in which the fees or expenses were waived/reimbursed.

For the six months ended March 31, 2013, the management fees for the Fund were $24,474,210 (0.40% of average daily net assets).

the Fund’s Class B and Class C shares, as compensation for services provided by NGAM Distribution in connection with the marketing or sale of Class B and Class C shares.

Under the Admin Class Plan, the Fund pays NGAM Distribution a monthly distribution fee at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Fund’s Admin Class shares, as compensation for services provided by NGAM Distribution in connection with the marketing or sale of Admin Class shares or for payments made by NGAM Distribution to securities dealers or other financial intermediaries as commissions, asset-based sales charges or other compensation with respect to the sale of Admin Class shares, or for providing personal services to investors and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts.

In addition, the Admin Class shares of the Fund may pay NGAM Distribution an administrative service fee, at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Admin Class shares. These fees are subsequently paid to securities dealers or financial intermediaries for providing personal services and/or account maintenance for their customers who hold such shares.

Class B

    

Class C

c.  Administrative Fees.  NGAM Advisors, L.P. (“NGAM Advisors”) provides certain administrative services for the Fund and contracts with State Street Bank to serve as sub-administrator.

March 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

processing, shareholder communications and other services to customers of the intermediaries that hold positions in the Fund and has agreed to compensate the intermediaries for providing those services. Intermediaries transact with the Fund primarily through the use of omnibus accounts on behalf of their customers who hold positions in the Fund. These services would have been provided by the Fund’s transfer agent and other service providers if the shareholders’ accounts were maintained directly at the Fund’s transfer agent. Accordingly, the Fund has agreed to reimburse NGAM Distribution for all or a portion of the servicing fees paid to these intermediaries. The reimbursement amounts (sub-transfer agent fees) paid to NGAM Distribution are subject to a current per-account equivalent fee limit approved by the Fund’s Board, which is based on fees for similar services paid to the Fund’s transfer agent and other service providers. Class N shares do not bear such expenses.

For the six months ended March 31, 2013, the sub-transfer agent fees (which are reflected in transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations) for the Fund were as follows:

 

Sub-Transfer Agent Fees

$6,375,056

As of March 31, 2013, the Fund owes NGAM Distribution the following reimbursements for sub-transfer agent fees:

 

Reimbursements of Sub-Transfer Agent Fees

$158,537

Sub-transfer agent fees attributable to Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y and Admin Class are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of those classes.

e.  Commissions.  Commissions (including CDSCs) on Fund shares retained by NGAM Distribution were $1,388,273 for the six months ended March 31, 2013.

f.  Trustees Fees and Expenses.  The Trust does not pay any compensation directly to its officers or Trustees who are directors, officers or employees of NGAM Advisors, NGAM Distribution, Natixis US or their affiliates. Effective January 1, 2013, the Chairperson of the Board receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $285,000. The Chairperson does not receive any meeting attendance fees for Board of Trustees meetings or committee meetings that she attends. Each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) receives, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $115,000. Each Independent Trustee also receives a meeting attendance fee of $10,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends in person and $5,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends telephonically. In addition, each committee chairman receives an additional retainer fee at an annual rate of $17,500. Each Contract Review and Governance Committee member is compensated

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

March 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

$6,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,000 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. Each Audit Committee member is compensated $6,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,000 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. These fees are allocated among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series based on a formula that takes into account, among other factors, the relative net assets of each fund. Trustees are reimbursed for travel expenses in connection with attendance at meetings.

Prior to January 1, 2013, the Chairperson of the Board received a retainer fee at the annual rate of $265,000 and each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) received, in aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $95,000. In addition, each committee chairman received an additional retainer fee at an annual rate of $15,000, and each Audit Committee member was compensated $7,500 for each Committee meeting that he or she attended in person and $3,750 for each meeting that he or she attended telephonically.

A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts, on the normal payment dates, in certain funds of the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series as designated by the participating Trustees. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are allocated pro rata among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, and Hansberger International Series, and are normally reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations. The portions of the accrued obligations allocated to the Fund under the Plan are reflected as Deferred Trustees’ fees in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

g.  Affiliated Ownership.  As of March 31, 2013, Loomis Sayles Employees’ Profit Sharing Retirement Plan held shares of the Fund representing 0.06% of the Fund’s net assets.

Additionally, as of March 31, 2013, Natixis US held shares of the Fund representing less than 0.01% of the Fund’s net assets.

6.  Class-Specific Expenses.  For the period from February 1, 2013 through March 31, 2013, the Fund incurred the following class-specific expenses:

 

    

Class N

 

Transfer Agent Fees and Expenses

   $ 3   

Transfer agent fees and expenses attributable to Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y and Admin Class are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of those classes.

7.  Line of Credit.  The Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series, participates in a $200,000,000 committed unsecured line of credit provided by State Street Bank, with an individual limit of $125,000,000 for each fund that participates in the line of credit. Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds rate or overnight LIBOR, plus 1.25%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.10% per annum, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, is accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their average daily unused portion of the line of credit.

For the six months ended March 31, 2013, the Fund had no borrowings under these agreements.

8.  Concentration of Risk.  The Fund’s investments in foreign securities are subject to foreign currency fluctuations, higher volatility than U.S. securities, varying degrees of regulation and limited liquidity. Greater political, economic, credit and information risks are also associated with foreign securities.

9.  Concentration of Ownership.  From time to time, the Fund may have a concentration of one or more accounts constituting a significant percentage of shares outstanding. Investment activities by holders of such accounts could have material impacts on the Funds. As of March 31, 2013, based on management’s evaluation of the shareholder account base, the Fund had accounts representing controlling ownership of more than 5% of the Fund’s total outstanding shares. The number of such accounts, based on accounts that represent more than 5% of an individual class of shares, and the aggregate percentage of net assets represented by such holdings was as follows:

 

Number of >5%

Non-Affiliated

Account Holders

  Percentage of
Non-Affiliated

Ownership
  Percentage of
Affiliated Ownership
  Total
Percentage of
Ownership
1   13.99%   0.06%   14.05%

Omnibus shareholder accounts for which NGAM Advisors understands that the intermediary has discretion over the underlying shareholder accounts are included in the table above. For other omnibus accounts, the Fund does not have information on the individual shareholder accounts underlying omnibus accounts; therefore, there could be other 5% shareholders in addition to those disclosed in the table above.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES

As a mutual fund shareholder you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and/or service fees (12b-1 fees), and other fund expenses. These costs are described in more detail in the funds’ prospectus. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the funds and help you compare these with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The first line in the table of each fund shows the actual amount of fund expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in the fund from October 1, 2012 (from February 1, 2013, for Class N) through March 31, 2013. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual fund returns and expenses. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6) and multiply the result by the number in the Expenses Paid During Period column as shown below for your class.

The second line in the table of each fund provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund’s actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid on your investment 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 other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown reflect ongoing costs only, and do not include any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included, total costs would be higher.

1.   Organization. Loomis Sayles Funds I and Loomis Sayles Funds II (the “Trusts” and each a “Trust”) are each organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Each Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. Each Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees to authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of the Trust in multiple series. The financial statements for certain funds of the Trusts are presented in separate reports. The following funds (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are included in this report:

Loomis Sayles Funds I:

Loomis Sayles Small Cap Value Fund (the “Small Cap Value Fund”)

Loomis Sayles Funds II:

Loomis Sayles Small Cap Growth Fund (the “Small Cap Growth Fund”)

Each Fund is a diversified investment company.

Small Cap Growth Fund and Small Cap Value Fund were closed to new investors effective September 14, 2012 and September 15, 2008, respectively. The Funds continue to offer Institutional Class and Retail Class shares to existing investors and Small Cap Value Fund continues to offer Admin Class shares to existing investors. Effective February 1, 2013, each Fund began offering Class N shares to existing investors.

Most expenses of the Trusts can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a fund are generally apportioned based on the relative net assets of each of the funds in the Trusts. Expenses of a Fund are borne pro rata by the holders of each class of shares, except that each class bears expenses unique to that class (including the Rule 12b-1 service and distribution fees and transfer agent fees). In addition, each class votes as a class only with respect to its own Rule 12b-1 Plan. Shares of each class would receive their pro rata share of the net assets of a Fund if the Fund were liquidated. The Trustees approve separate distributions from net investment income on each class of shares.

2.   Significant Accounting Policies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has evaluated the events and transactions subsequent to period-end through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no material events that would require disclosure in the Funds’ financial statements.

a.  Valuation. Equity securities, including shares of closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds, for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value, as reported by independent pricing services recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Such independent pricing services

generally use the security’s last sale price on the exchange or market where the security is primarily traded or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), or if lacking a NOCP, at the most recent bid quotation on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less) and unlisted equity securities are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Funds by an independent pricing service recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees, which service determines valuations for normal, institutional-size trading units of such securities using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders. Broker-dealer bid prices may also be used to value debt and equity securities where an independent pricing service is unable to price a security or where an independent pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each day. Short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Funds’ investment adviser using consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.

The Funds may hold securities traded in foreign markets. Foreign securities are valued at the closing market price in the foreign market. However, if events occurring after the close of the foreign market (but before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange) are believed to materially affect the value of those securities, such securities are fair valued on a daily basis pursuant to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. When fair valuing securities, the Funds may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the Funds calculate their net asset values.

b.  Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income. Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one day basis for daily net asset value calculation. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date, or in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as a Fund is notified, and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of premium. Distributions received from investments in securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of the investments or as a realized gain, respectively. The calendar year-end amounts of ordinary income, capital gains, and return of capital included in distributions received from the Funds’ investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) are reported to the Funds after the end of the fiscal year; accordingly, the Funds estimate these amounts for

accounting purposes until the characterization of REIT distributions is reported to the Funds after the end of the fiscal year. Estimates are based on the most recent REIT distribution information available. In determining net gain or loss on securities sold, the cost of securities has been determined on an identified cost basis. Investment income, non-class specific expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund.

c.  Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions.

Since the values of investment securities are presented at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, it is not practical to isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates from fluctuations which arise due to changes in market prices of investment securities. Such changes are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, at the end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

Each Fund may use foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated investments. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts’ terms.

d.  Federal and Foreign Income Taxes. Each Trust treats each Fund as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains at least annually. Management has performed an analysis of each Fund’s tax positions for the open tax years as of March 31, 2013 and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. The Funds’ federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management is not aware of any events that are reasonably possible to occur in the next six months that would result in the amounts of any unrecognized tax benefits significantly increasing or decreasing for the Funds. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws and accounting regulations and interpretations thereof.

A Fund may be subject to foreign withholding taxes on investment income and taxes on capital gains on investments that are accrued and paid based upon the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the countries in which the Fund invests. Foreign withholding taxes on dividend and interest income are reflected on the Statements of Operations as a reduction of investment income, net of amounts eligible to be reclaimed. Dividends and interest receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are net of foreign withholding taxes. Foreign withholding taxes eligible to be reclaimed are reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as tax reclaims receivable. Capital gains taxes paid are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statements of Operations. Accrued but unpaid capital gains taxes are reflected as foreign taxes payable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, if applicable, and reduce unrealized gains on investments. In the event that realized gains on investments are subsequently offset by realized losses, taxes paid on realized gains may be returned to a Fund. Such amounts, if applicable, are reflected as foreign tax rebates receivable on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and are recorded as a realized gain when received.

e.  Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gain distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Permanent differences are primarily due to differing treatments for book and tax purposes of items such as expired capital loss carryforwards, distribution in excess of current earnings, net operating losses and deferred Trustees’ fees. Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to capital accounts. Temporary differences between book and tax distributable earnings are primarily due to deferred Trustees’ fees and wash sales. Distributions from net investment income and short-term capital gains are considered to be distributed from ordinary income for tax purposes.

The tax characterization of distributions is determined on an annual basis. The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the year ended September 30, 2012 was as follows:

 

    2012 Distributions Paid From:  

Fund

  Ordinary
Income
    Long-Term
Capital Gains
    Total  

Small Cap Growth Fund

  $      $      $   

Small Cap Value Fund

    1,033,252               1,033,252   

As of September 30, 2012, the late-year ordinary and post-October capital loss deferrals were as follows:

 

    Small Cap
Growth Fund
    Small Cap
Value Fund
 

Late-year ordinary and post-October capital loss deferrals*

  $ (16,260,177   $ (5,815,935

* Under current tax law, capital losses, foreign currency losses, and losses on passive foreign investment companies and contingent payment debt instruments after October 31 or December 31, as applicable, may be deferred and treated as occurring on the first day of the following taxable year.

f.  Repurchase Agreements. It is each Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Certain repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf of the counterparty. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty, including possible delays or restrictions upon a Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities.

g.   Securities Lending. The Funds have entered into an agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street Bank”), as agent of the Funds, to lend securities to certain designated borrowers. The loans are collateralized with cash or securities in an amount equal to at least 105% or 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of the loaned international or domestic securities, respectively, when the loan is initiated. Thereafter, the value of the collateral must remain at least 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. equities and U.S. corporate debt; at least 105% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for non-U.S. equities; and at least 100% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. Government securities, sovereign debt issued by non-U.S. Governments and non-U.S. corporate debt. In the event that the market value of the collateral falls below the required percentages described above, the borrower will deliver additional collateral on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Funds may bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of the collateral. The Funds invest cash collateral in short-term investments, a portion of the income from which is remitted to the borrowers and the remainder allocated between the Funds and State Street Bank as lending agent.

For the six months ended March 31, 2013, neither Fund had loaned securities under this agreement.

h.  Indemnifications. Under the Trusts’ organizational documents, their officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, 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.

3.  Fair Value Measurements. In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Funds have categorized the inputs utilized in determining the value of each Fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

   

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

   

Level 2—prices determined using other significant inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which

 

33  |


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements – continued

March 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

 

could include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.); and

 

   

Level 3—prices determined using significant unobservable inputs when quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an asset or liability (unobservable inputs reflect each Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities and would be based on the best information available).

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

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds’ investments as of March 31, 2013, at value:

5.  Management Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

a.  Management Fees. Loomis, Sayles & Company, L.P. (“Loomis Sayles”) serves as investment adviser to each Fund. Under the terms of the management agreements, each Fund pays a management fee at the following annual rates, calculated daily and payable monthly, based on each Fund’s average daily net assets:

 

Fund

  Percentage of
Average Daily Net Assets

Small Cap Growth Fund

  0.75%

Small Cap Value Fund

  0.75%

Loomis Sayles has given binding undertakings to the Funds to waive management fees and/or reimburse certain expenses to limit the Funds’ operating expenses, exclusive of acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage expenses, interest expense, taxes and extraordinary expenses. These undertakings are in effect until January 31, 2014 and are reevaluated on an annual basis. Management fees payable, as reflected on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, is net of waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, pursuant to these undertakings.

For the six months ended March 31, 2013, the expense limits as a percentage of average daily net assets under the expense limitation agreements were as follows:

 

    Expense Limit as a Percentage of

Loomis Sayles shall be permitted to recover expenses they have borne under the expense limitation agreements (whether through waiver of its management fees or otherwise) on a class by class basis in later periods to the extent the annual operating expenses of a class fall below a class’ expense limits, provided, however, that a class is not obligated to pay such waived/reimbursed fees or expenses more than one year after the end of the fiscal year in which the fees or expenses were waived/reimbursed.

For the six months ended March 31, 2013, the management fees for each Fund were as follows:

Certain officers and employees of Loomis Sayles are also officers or Trustees of the Trust. Loomis Sayles’ general partner is indirectly owned by Natixis Global Asset Management, L.P. (“Natixis US”), which is part of Natixis Global Asset Management, an international asset management group based in Paris, France.

b.  Service and Distribution Fees. NGAM Distribution, L.P. (“NGAM Distribution”), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Natixis US, has entered into a distribution agreement with the Trusts. Pursuant to this agreement, NGAM Distribution serves as principal underwriter of the Funds of the Trusts.

Pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, Small Cap Growth Fund and Small Cap Value Fund have adopted a Distribution Plan relating to each Fund’s Retail Class shares (the “Retail Class Plans”) and Small Cap Value Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan relating to its Admin Class shares (the “Admin Class Plan”).

Under the Retail Class Plans, each Fund pays NGAM Distribution a monthly distribution fee at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Funds’ Retail Class shares, as compensation for services provided by NGAM Distribution in connection with the marketing or sale of Retail Class shares or for payments made by NGAM Distribution to securities dealers or other financial intermediaries as commissions, asset-based sales charges or other compensation with respect to the sale of Retail Class shares, or for providing personal services to investors and/or maintenance of shareholder accounts.

Under the Admin Class Plan, Small Cap Value Fund pays NGAM Distribution a monthly distribution fee at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Fund’s Admin Class shares, as compensation for services provided by NGAM Distribution in connection with the marketing or sale of Admin Class shares or for payments made by NGAM Distribution to securities dealers or other financial intermediaries as commissions, asset-based sales charges or other compensation with respect to the sale of Admin Class shares, or for providing personal services to investors and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts.

In addition, the Admin Class shares of Small Cap Value Fund may pay NGAM Distribution an administrative service fee, at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Admin Class shares. These fees are subsequently paid to securities dealers or financial intermediaries for providing personal services and/or account maintenance for their customers who hold such shares.

For the six months ended March 31, 2013, the service and distribution fees for each Fund were as follows:

 

    Service Fees     Distribution Fees  

Fund

  Admin Class     Retail Class     Admin Class  

Small Cap Growth Fund

  $      $ 263,391      $   

Small Cap Value Fund

    82,932        438,811        82,932   

c.  Administrative Fees. NGAM Advisors, L.P. (“NGAM Advisors”) provides certain administrative services for the Funds and contracts with State Street Bank to serve as sub-administrator. NGAM Advisors is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Natixis US. Pursuant to an agreement among Natixis Funds Trust I, Natixis Funds Trust II, Natixis Funds Trust IV, Gateway Trust (“Natixis Funds Trusts”), Loomis Sayles Funds I, Loomis Sayles Funds II (“Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts”), Hansberger International Series and NGAM Advisors, each Fund pays NGAM Advisors monthly its pro rata portion of fees equal to an annual rate of 0.0575% of the first $15 billion of the average daily net assets of the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series, 0.0500% of the next $15 billion, 0.0400% of the next $30 billion and 0.0350% of such assets in excess of $60 billion, subject to an annual aggregate minimum fee for the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series of $10 million, which is reevaluated on an annual basis.

For the six months ended March 31, 2013, the administrative fees for each Fund were as follows:

d.  Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. NGAM Distribution has entered into agreements, which include servicing agreements, with financial intermediaries that provide recordkeeping, processing, shareholder communications and other services to customers of the intermediaries that hold positions in the Funds and has agreed to compensate the intermediaries for providing those services. Intermediaries transact with the Funds primarily through the use of omnibus accounts on behalf of their customers who hold positions in the Funds. These services would have been provided by the Funds’ transfer agent and other service providers if the shareholders’ accounts were maintained directly at the Funds’ transfer agent. Accordingly, the Funds have agreed to reimburse NGAM Distribution for all or a portion of the servicing fees paid to these intermediaries. The

reimbursement amounts (sub-transfer agent fees) paid to NGAM Distribution are subject to a current per-account equivalent fee limit approved by the Funds’ Board, which is based on fees for similar services paid to the Funds’ transfer agent and other service providers. Class N shares do not bear such expenses.

Effective January 1, 2013, the Chairperson of the Board receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $285,000. The Chairperson does not receive any meeting attendance fees for Board of Trustees meetings or committee meetings that she attends. Each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) receives, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $115,000. Each Independent Trustee also receives a meeting attendance fee of $10,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends in person and $5,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends telephonically. In addition, each committee chairman receives an additional retainer fee at an annual rate of $17,500. Each Contract Review and Governance Committee member is compensated $6,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,000 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. Each Audit Committee member is compensated $6,000 for each Committee meeting that he or she attends in person and $3,000 for each meeting that he or she attends telephonically. These fees are allocated among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series based on a formula that takes into account, among other factors, the relative net assets of each fund. Trustees are reimbursed for travel expenses in connection with attendance at meetings.

Prior to January 1, 2013, the Chairperson of the Board received a retainer fee at the annual rate of $265,000 and each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) received, in

aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $95,000. In addition, each committee chairman received an additional retainer fee at an annual rate of $15,000, and each Audit Committee member was compensated $7,500 for each Committee meeting that he or she attended in person and $3,750 for each meeting that he or she attended telephonically.

A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Funds until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts, on the normal payment dates, in certain funds of the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series as designated by the participating Trustees. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are allocated pro rata among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, and Hansberger International Series, and are normally reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statements of Operations. The portions of the accrued obligations allocated to the Funds under the Plan are reflected as Deferred Trustees’ fees in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

f.  Affiliated Ownership. At March 31, 2013, Loomis Sayles Funded Pension Plan and Trust (“Pension Plan”) and Loomis Sayles Employees’ Profit Sharing Retirement Plan (“Retirement Plan”) held shares of the Funds representing the following percentages of the Funds’ net assets:

Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds rate or overnight LIBOR, plus 1.25%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.10% per annum, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, is accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their average daily unused portion of the line of credit.

For the six months ended March 31, 2013, neither Fund had borrowings under these agreements.

8.   Brokerage Commission Recapture. Each Fund has entered into agreements with certain brokers whereby the brokers will rebate a portion of brokerage commissions.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. The table does not reflect taxes shareholders might owe on any fund distributions or when they redeem their shares. Performance for periods less than one year is cumulative, not annualized. Returns reflect changes in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any. Unlike a fund, an index is not managed and does not reflect fees and expenses.

 

1 Prior to the inception of Admin Class shares (2/1/10), performance is that of Class A shares, restated to reflect the higher net expenses of Admin Class shares.

 

2 Performance for Class B shares assumes a maximum 5% contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) applied when you sell shares, which declines annually between years 1-6 according to the following schedule: 5, 4, 3, 3, 2, 1, 0%. Class C share performance assumes a 1% CDSC applied when you sell shares within one year of purchase.

 

3 Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged index that covers the U.S.-dollar denominated, investment-grade, fixed-rate, taxable bond market of SEC-registered securities. The index includes bonds from the Treasury, government-related, corporate, mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities, and collateralized mortgage-backed securities sectors.

 

4 Barclays U.S. Universal Bond Index is an unmanaged index that covers U.S. dollar-denominated taxable bonds, including U.S. government and investment grade debt, non-investment grade debt, asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, Eurobonds, 144A securities and emerging market debt.

 

5 Fund performance has been increased by fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, if any, without which performance would have been lower.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES

As a mutual fund shareholder, you incur different types of costs: transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions; and ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution fees (12b-1 fees) and/or service fees, and other fund expenses. These costs are described in more detail in the fund’s prospectus. The following examples are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs of investing in the fund and help you compare these with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The first line in the table for each class shows the actual amount of fund expenses you would have paid on a $1,000 investment in the fund from October 1, 2012 (from February 1, 2013, for Class N) through March 31, 2013. It also shows how much a $1,000 investment would be worth at the close of the period, assuming actual fund returns and expenses. To estimate the expenses you paid over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 =8.60) and multiply the result by the number in Expenses Paid During Period column as shown below for your class.

The second line in the table for each class provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund’s actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid on your investment for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund 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 reflect ongoing costs only, and do not include any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line in the table of the fund is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included, total costs would be higher.

1.  Organization.  Loomis Sayles Funds II (the “Trust”) is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees to authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of the Trust in multiple series. The financial statements for certain funds of the Trust are presented in separate reports. Information presented in these financial statements pertains to Loomis Sayles Strategic Income Fund (the “Fund”).

The Fund is a diversified investment company.

The Fund offers Class A, Class C, Class Y and Admin Class shares. Effective February 1, 2013, the Fund began offering Class N shares. Effective October 12, 2007, Class B shares are no longer offered. Existing Class B shareholders may continue to reinvest dividends into Class B shares and exchange their Class B shares for Class B shares of other Natixis Funds subject to existing exchange privileges as described in the prospectus.

Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.50%. Class B shares do not pay a front-end sales charge; however, they are charged higher Rule 12b-1 fees, and are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) if such shares are redeemed within six years of purchase. After eight years of ownership, Class B shares convert to Class A shares. Class C shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, do not convert to any other class of shares, pay higher Rule 12b-1 fees than Class A shares and may be subject to a CDSC of 1.00% if those shares are redeemed within one year of acquisition, except for reinvested distributions. Class N and Class Y shares do not pay a front-end sales charge, a CDSC or Rule 12b-1 fees. Class N shares are primarily intended for employer-sponsored retirement plans. Class Y shares are intended for institutional investors with a minimum initial investment of $100,000, though some categories of investors are exempted from the minimum investment amount as outlined in the Fund’s prospectus. Admin Class shares do not pay a front-end sales charge or a CDSC, but do pay a Rule 12b-1 fee. Class N and Admin Class shares are offered exclusively through intermediaries.

Most expenses of the Trust can be directly attributed to a fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed to a fund are generally apportioned based on the relative net assets of each of the funds in the Trust. Expenses of the Fund are borne pro rata by the holders of each class of shares, except that each class bears expenses unique to that class (including the Rule 12b-1 service and distribution fees and transfer agent fees for Class N). In addition, each class votes as a class only with respect to its own Rule 12b-1 Plan. Shares of each class would receive their pro rata share of the net assets of the Fund if the Fund were liquidated. The Trustees approve separate distributions from net investment income on each class of shares.

2.  Significant Accounting Policies.  The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The Fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America which require the use of management estimates that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has evaluated the events and transactions subsequent to period-end through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no material events that would require disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

a.  Valuation.  Debt securities (other than short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less) and unlisted equity securities are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees, which service determines valuations for normal, institutional-size trading units of such securities using market information, transactions for comparable securities and various relationships between securities which are generally recognized by institutional traders. Senior loans are priced at bid prices supplied by an independent pricing service, if available. Equity securities, including shares of closed-end investment companies and exchange-traded funds, for which market quotations are readily available are valued at market value, as reported by independent pricing services recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Such independent pricing services generally use the security’s last sale price on the exchange or market where the security is primarily traded or, if there is no reported sale during the day, the closing bid price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ Global Select Market, NASDAQ Global Market and NASDAQ Capital Market are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), or if lacking a NOCP, at the most recent bid quotation on the applicable NASDAQ Market. Broker-dealer bid prices may also be used to value debt and equity securities and senior loans where an independent pricing service is unable to price a security or where an independent pricing service does not provide a reliable price for the security. Investments in other open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each day. Short-term obligations purchased with an original or remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund’s investment adviser using consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees.

The Fund may hold securities traded in foreign markets. Foreign securities are valued at the closing market price in the foreign market. However, if events occurring after the close of the foreign market (but before the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange) are believed to materially affect the value of those securities, such securities are fair valued on a daily basis pursuant to procedures approved by the

 

|  36


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

March 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

Board of Trustees. When fair valuing securities, the Fund may, among other things, use modeling tools or other processes that may take into account factors such as securities market activity and/or significant events that occur after the close of the foreign market and before the Fund calculates its net asset value.

b.  Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income.  Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one day basis for daily net asset value calculation. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on ex-dividend date, or in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as the Fund is notified, and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Interest income is increased by the accretion of discount and decreased by the amortization of premium. Distributions received from investments in securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or as a realized gain, respectively. In determining net gain or loss on securities sold, the cost of securities has been determined on an identified cost basis. Investment income, non-class specific expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund.

c.  Foreign Currency Translation.  The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities, currencies and other assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars based upon foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated on the respective dates of such transactions.

Since the values of investment securities are presented at the foreign exchange rates prevailing at the end of the period, it is not practical to isolate that portion of the results of operations arising from changes in exchange rates from fluctuations which arise due to changes in market prices of investment securities. Such changes are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currency, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities, other than investment securities, at the end of the fiscal period, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

The Fund may use foreign currency exchange contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated investments. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts’ terms.

d.  Federal and Foreign Income Taxes.  The Trust treats each fund as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. The Fund intends to meet the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute to its shareholders substantially all of its net investment income and any net realized capital gains at least annually. Management has performed an analysis of the Fund’s tax positions for the open tax years as of March 31, 2013 and has concluded that no provisions for income tax are required. The Fund’s federal tax returns for the prior three fiscal years remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management is not aware of any events that are reasonably possible to occur in the next six months that would result in the amounts of any unrecognized tax benefits significantly increasing or decreasing for the Fund. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions taken may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, new tax laws and accounting regulations and interpretations thereof.

The Fund may be subject to foreign withholding taxes on investment income and taxes on capital gains on investments that are accrued and paid based upon the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and regulations that exist in the countries in which the Fund invests. Foreign withholding taxes on dividend and interest income are reflected on the Statement of Operations as a reduction of investment income, net of amounts eligible to be reclaimed. Dividends and interest receivable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are net of foreign withholding taxes. Foreign withholding taxes eligible to be reclaimed are reflected on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as tax reclaims receivable. Capital gains taxes paid are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statement of Operations. Accrued but unpaid capital gains taxes are reflected as foreign taxes payable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, if applicable, and reduce unrealized gains on investments. In the event that realized gains on investments are subsequently offset by realized losses, taxes paid on realized gains may be returned to the Fund. Such amounts, if applicable, are reflected as foreign tax rebates receivable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and are recorded as a realized gain when received.

e.  Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders.  Dividends and distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date. The timing and characterization of certain income and capital gain distributions are determined annually in accordance with federal tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Permanent differences are primarily due to differing treatments for book and tax purposes of items such as foreign currency transactions, contingent payment debt instruments, premium amortization, defaulted bond adjustments, paydown gains and losses, trust preferred securities and return of capital and capital gains distributions from real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to capital accounts. Temporary differences between book and tax

distributable earnings are primarily due to wash sales, premium amortization, non-REIT return of capital outstanding, REIT basis adjustments, trust preferred securities, contingent payment debt instruments and defaulted bond interest. Distributions from net investment income and short-term capital gains are considered to be distributed from ordinary income for tax purposes.

The tax characterization of distributions is determined on an annual basis. The tax character of distributions paid to shareholders during the year ended September 30, 2012 was as follows:

   $ (242,738,243
  

 

 

 

f.  Repurchase Agreements.  It is the Fund’s policy that the market value of the collateral for repurchase agreements be at least equal to 102% of the repurchase price, including interest. Certain repurchase agreements are tri-party arrangements whereby the collateral is held in a segregated account for the benefit of the Fund and on behalf of the counterparty. Repurchase agreements could involve certain risks in the event of default or insolvency of the counterparty including possible delays or restrictions upon the Fund’s ability to dispose of the underlying securities.

g.  Securities Lending.  The Fund has entered into an agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street Bank”), as agent of the Fund, to lend securities to certain designated borrowers. The loans are collateralized with cash or securities in an amount equal to at least 105% or 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of the loaned international or domestic securities, respectively, when the loan is initiated. Thereafter, the value of the collateral must remain at least 102% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. equities and U.S. corporate debt; at least 105% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for non-U.S. equities; and at least 100% of the market value (including accrued interest) of loaned securities for U.S. Government securities, sovereign debt issued by non-U.S. Governments and non-U.S. corporate debt. In the event that the market value of the collateral falls below the required percentages described above, the borrower will deliver additional collateral on the next business day. As with other extensions of credit, the Fund may bear the risk of loss with respect to the investment of the collateral. The Fund invests cash collateral in short-term investments, a portion of

Table of Contents

the income from which is remitted to the borrowers and the remainder allocated between the Fund and State Street Bank as lending agent. Excess collateral in the amount of $2,840,356 related to terminated loans with a bankrupt borrower is held by State Street Bank on behalf of the Fund.

For the six months ended March 31, 2013, the Fund did not loan securities under this agreement.

h.  Indemnifications.  Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

3.  Fair Value Measurements.  In accordance with accounting standards related to fair value measurements and disclosures, the Fund has categorized the inputs utilized in determining the value of the Fund’s assets or liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

 

   

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

   

Level 2 – prices determined using other significant inputs that are observable either directly, or indirectly through corroboration with observable market data (which could include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.); and

 

   

Level 3 – prices determined using significant unobservable inputs when quoted prices or observable inputs are unavailable such as when there is little or no market activity for an asset or liability (unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities and would be based on the best information available).

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

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of March 31, 2013, at value:

(a) Details of the major categories of the Fund’s investments are reflected within the Portfolio of Investments.
(b) Valued using broker-dealer bid prices.
(c) Fair valued by the Fund’s investment adviser.

The Fund’s pricing policies and procedures are recommended by the investment adviser and approved by the Board of Trustees. Debt securities are generally valued on the basis of evaluated bids furnished to the Fund by an independent pricing service. Broker-dealer bid prices may be used if an independent pricing service either is unable to price a security or does not provide a reliable price for a security. Broker-dealer bid prices for which the Fund does not have knowledge of the inputs used by the broker-dealer are categorized in Level 3. All security prices, including those obtained from an independent pricing service and broker-dealer bid prices, are reviewed on a daily basis by the investment adviser, subject to oversight by Fund management and the Board of Trustees. If the investment adviser, in good faith, believes that the price provided by an independent pricing service is unreliable, broker-dealer bid prices may be used until the price provided by the independent pricing service is considered to be reliable. Reliability of all security prices, including those obtained from an independent pricing service and broker-dealer bid prices, is tested in a variety of ways, including comparison to recent transaction prices and daily fluctuations, amongst other validation procedures in place. Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fund’s investment adviser using consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of Trustees. Fair valued securities may be categorized in Level 3.

Loomis Sayles has given a binding undertaking to the Fund to waive management fees and/or reimburse certain expenses to limit the Fund’s operating expenses, exclusive of acquired fund fees and expenses, brokerage expenses, interest expense, taxes and extraordinary expenses. This undertaking is in effect until January 31, 2014 and is reevaluated on an annual basis.

a class by class basis in later periods to the extent the annual operating expenses of a class fall below a class’ expense limits, provided, however, that a class is not obligated to pay such waived/reimbursed fees or expenses more than one year after the end of the fiscal year in which the fees or expenses were waived/reimbursed.

For the six months ended March 31, 2013, the management fees for the Fund were $41,076,516 (effective rate of 0.56% of average daily net assets).

Under the Class A Plan, the Fund pays NGAM Distribution a monthly service fee at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Fund’s Class A shares, as reimbursement for expenses incurred by NGAM Distribution in providing personal services to investors in Class A shares and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts.

Under the Class B and Class C Plans, the Fund pays NGAM Distribution a monthly service fee at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to the Fund’s Class B and Class C shares, as compensation for services provided by NGAM Distribution in providing personal services to investors in Class B and Class C shares and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts.

Distribution in connection with the marketing or sale of Admin Class shares or for payments made by NGAM Distribution to securities dealers or other financial intermediaries as commissions, asset-based sales charges or other compensation with respect to the sale of Admin Class shares, or for providing personal services to investors and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts.

In addition, the Admin Class shares of the Fund may pay NGAM Distribution an administrative service fee, at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average daily net assets attributable to Admin Class shares. These fees are subsequently paid to securities dealers or financial intermediaries for providing personal services and/or account maintenance for their customers who hold such shares.

For the six months ended March 31, 2013, the service and distribution fees for the Fund were as follows:

 

Service Fees   Distribution Fees

Class A

  

Class B

  

Class C

  

Admin Class

 

Class B

  

Class C

  

Admin Class

$6,401,598    $102,781    $6,306,213    $71,875   $308,343    $18,918,639    $71,875

c.  Administrative Fees.  NGAM Advisors, L.P. (“NGAM Advisors”) provides certain administrative services for the Fund and contracts with State Street Bank to serve as sub-administrator.

For the six months ended March 31, 2013, the administrative fees for the Fund were $3,265,404.

d.  Sub-Transfer Agent Fees.  NGAM Distribution has entered into agreements, which include servicing agreements, with financial intermediaries that provide recordkeeping, processing, shareholder communications and other services to customers of the intermediaries that hold positions in the Fund and has agreed to compensate the intermediaries for providing those services. Intermediaries transact with the Fund primarily through the use of omnibus accounts on behalf of their customers who hold positions in the Fund. These services would have been provided by the Fund’s transfer agent and other service providers if the shareholders’ accounts were maintained directly at the Fund’s transfer agent. Accordingly, the Fund has agreed to reimburse

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

March 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

NGAM Distribution for all or a portion of the servicing fees paid to these intermediaries. The reimbursement amounts (sub-transfer agent fees) paid to NGAM Distribution are subject to a current per-account equivalent fee limit approved by the Fund’s Board, which is based on fees for similar services paid to the Fund’s transfer agent and other service providers. Class N shares do not bear such expenses.

For the six months ended March 31, 2013, the sub-transfer agent fees (which are reflected in transfer agent fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations) for the Fund were as follows:

 

Sub-Transfer Agent Fees

$5,068,239

As of March 31, 2013, the Fund owes NGAM Distribution the following reimbursements for sub-transfer agent fees:

 

Reimbursements of Sub-Transfer Agent Fees

$126,881

Sub-transfer agent fees attributable to Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y and Admin Class are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of those classes.

e.  Commissions.  Commissions (including CDSCs) on Fund shares retained by NGAM Distribution during the six months ended March 31, 2013 amounted to $1,968,148.

f.  Trustees Fees and Expenses.  The Trust does not pay any compensation directly to its officers or Trustees who are directors, officers or employees of NGAM Advisors, NGAM Distribution, Natixis US or their affiliates. Effective January 1, 2013, the Chairperson of the Board receives a retainer fee at the annual rate of $285,000. The Chairperson does not receive any meeting attendance fees for Board of Trustees meetings or committee meetings that she attends. Each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) receives, in the aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $115,000. Each Independent Trustee also receives a meeting attendance fee of $10,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends in person and $5,000 for each meeting of the Board of Trustees that he or she attends telephonically. In addition, each committee chairman receives an additional retainer fee at an annual rate of $17,500.

March 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

Prior to January 1, 2013, the Chairperson of the Board received a retainer fee at the annual rate of $265,000 and each Independent Trustee (other than the Chairperson) received, in aggregate, a retainer fee at the annual rate of $95,000.

A deferred compensation plan (the “Plan”) is available to the Trustees on a voluntary basis. Deferred amounts remain in the Fund until distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. The value of a participating Trustee’s deferral account is based on theoretical investments of deferred amounts, on the normal payment dates, in certain funds of the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series as designated by the participating Trustees. Changes in the value of participants’ deferral accounts are allocated pro rata among the funds in the Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts, and Hansberger International Series, and are normally reflected as Trustees’ fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations. The portions of the accrued obligations allocated to the Fund under the Plan are reflected as Deferred Trustees’ fees in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

6.  Class-Specific Expenses.  For the period from February 1, 2013 through March 31, 2013, the Fund incurred the following class-specific expenses:

 

    

Class N

Transfer Agent Fees and Expenses

   $3

Transfer agent fees and expenses attributable to Class A, Class B, Class C, Class Y and Admin Class are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of those classes.

7.  Line of Credit.  The Fund, together with certain other funds of Natixis Funds Trusts, Loomis Sayles Funds Trusts and Hansberger International Series, participates in a $200,000,000 committed unsecured line of credit provided by State Street Bank, with an individual limit of $125,000,000 for each fund that participates in the line of credit. Interest is charged to each participating fund based on its borrowings at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds rate or overnight LIBOR, plus 1.25%. In addition, a commitment fee of 0.10% per annum, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, is accrued and apportioned among the participating funds based on their average daily unused portion of the line of credit.

For the six months ended March 31, 2013, the Fund had no borrowings under these agreements.

8.  Concentration of Risk.  The Fund’s investments in foreign securities are subject to foreign currency fluctuations, higher volatility than U.S. securities, varying degrees of

regulation and limited liquidity. Greater political, economic, credit and information risks are also associated with foreign securities.
