Market Recap

 

The U.S. equity market gained strongly for the 12 months ending July 31, 2015 as stocks recovered from volatility in late 2014 and early 2015, supported by a still-positive economic backdrop. The S&P 500® Index returned 11.21%, with growth stocks in the index far outpacing value-oriented names on prospects for continued U.S. economic growth. As a result, the growth-oriented Nasdaq Composite Index® rose 18.71%, outpacing the broader S&P 500®, as well as the 12.03% advance of the smaller-cap Russell 2000® Index. Within the S&P 500®, seven of 10 sectors notched a gain, with significant performance variation. Health care (+27%) led the way, aided by merger activity. Consumer discretionary (+24%) benefited from spending linked to a seven-year low in unemployment. Strong first halves for consumer staples and the real estate segment of the financials sector yielded above-market returns (19% and 12%, respectively) for the full-year period. Conversely, energy (-26%) significantly lagged, due to a roughly 55% decline for U.S. crude-oil prices. Materials (-4%) also lost ground. At period end, investors remained focused on the slowing rate of U.S. earnings growth, the possible effect of a relatively stronger U.S. dollar on exports and inflation, and whether an economic slowdown in China would create ripples for the global economy.

The information provided in the tables below shows you the performance of Fidelity® MSCI Consumer Discretionary Index ETF, with comparisons over different time periods to the fund’s relevant benchmarks, including an appropriate broad-based market index. Seeing the returns over different time periods can help you assess the fund’s performance against relevant measurements. The performance information includes average annual total returns and is further explained in this section.*

The fund’s net asset value (NAV) performance is based on the NAV calculated each business day. It is calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing investment company shares as of the close of regular trading hours on NYSE Arca, Inc.

Since ETFs are bought and sold at prices set by the market – which can result in a premium or discount to NAV – the returns calculated using market price (market return) can differ from those calculated using NAV (NAV return). For information on these differences, please visit Fidelity.com or see the prospectus. The fund’s returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption or selling of fund shares. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. For month-end performance figures, please visit fidelity.com/etfs/sector-etfs/overview or call Fidelity.

Fidelity® MSCI Consumer Discretionary Index ETF

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the 12 months ending July 31, 2015, the exchange-traded fund’s (ETF) net asset value rose 21.93%, roughly in line with the 22.18% return of the MSCI USA IMI Consumer Discretionary Index. The ETF’s market price gained 21.98% over the same time frame, while the broad-market S&P 500® Index advanced 11.21%. The sector easily outperformed the broad market, as U.S. consumers continued to benefit from an improving job market, low inflation and interest rates, as well as other positive factors. In addition, the dollar strengthened versus most foreign currencies during much of the year. A rising dollar typically boosts U.S. consumers’ purchasing power by making imported goods relatively cheaper. Outperforming industries included Internet retail (+45%) and home improvement retail (+46%), with e-commerce giant Amazon.com (+69%) and Home Depot (+48%) individual standouts. Amazon’s performance was largely driven by solid first-quarter revenue growth, as well as optimism for Amazon Web Services, which offers cloud-based computing power to companies. Meanwhile, shares of Home Depot were partly lifted by the U.S. housing recovery and the firm’s strong growth outlook for 2016. On the negative side, casinos & gaming stocks returned -20%, dragged down by their exposure to Macau, a Chinese-controlled territory that experienced some regulatory headwinds during the year. Notable detractors from this group included Wynn Resorts (-50%) and MGM Resorts International (-27%).

Fidelity® MSCI Consumer Staples Index ETF

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the 12 months ending July 31, 2015, the exchange-traded fund’s (ETF) net asset value rose 19.00%, roughly in line with the 19.19% return of the MSCI USA IMI Consumer Staples Index. The ETF’s market price gained 18.91% over the same time frame, while the broad-market S&P 500® Index advanced 11.21%. The sector handily outpaced the broader market, as long-term trends supported a continued growth in sales, even amid an increasingly challenging global macroeconomic backdrop and a generally strengthening U.S. dollar, which served as a major headwind to the earnings of U.S.-based staples companies with significant operations in other countries. Among industry components of the MSCI sector index, drug retail, which included CVS Health and Walgreens Boots Alliance, was a standout, gaining roughly 46%. The category benefited from an increase in demand due to the Affordable Care Act, which brought millions of Americans access to insurance, and favorable demographic trends, including an aging population. From this group, drugstore chain Walgreens was lifted by its December 2014 merger with Switzerland-based Boots Alliance. The company has been renamed Walgreens Boots Alliance. Other sizable industries to outperform included packaged foods & meats (+27%) and tobacco (+25%). On the flip side, personal products suffered a modest decline, largely due to the poor performance of beauty retailer Avon Products. Avon shares returned -56% amid disappointing first-quarter results and a report that no potential suitors were interested in buying the once-attractive firm. Household products (+8%) and hypermarkets & super centers (+9%), which together represented roughly 29% of the MSCI sector index, also lagged.

Fidelity® MSCI Energy Index ETF

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the 12 months ending July 31, 2015, the exchange-traded fund’s (ETF) net asset value returned -27.95%, in line with the -27.95% return of the MSCI USA IMI Energy Index. The ETF’s market price returned -27.94% over the same time frame, while the broad-market S&P 500® Index rose 11.21%. Energy stocks suffered a huge sell-off the past year, as oil prices were cut in half, collapsing to a six-year low amid a sustained global glut. Energy had by far the worst result among the 10 market sectors, dragged down by big declines in three major subindustries: oil & gas exploration & production (-42%), integrated oil & gas (-22%), and equipment & services (-32%). Conversely, refining & marketing (+18%) was the only group within the sector to post a gain for the year, helped by strong global demand for oil products such as gasoline and diesel fuel. Among individual stocks, benchmark heavyweight and integrated oil giant Exxon Mobil was the biggest detractor for the period, followed by Chevron. ConocoPhillips was another detractor, as its stock returned -36% the past year. Low oil prices significantly curbed cash flow at these firms, while their sizable deepwater operations have struggled. On the upside, refiners Valero Energy and Marathon Petroleum both contributed to the sector’s result, as their shares gained on better profit margins due to lower input costs.

Fidelity® MSCI Financials Index ETF

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the 12 months ending July 31, 2015, the exchange-traded fund’s (ETF) net asset value rose 14.08%, versus 14.26% for the MSCI USA IMI Financials Index. The ETF’s market price gained 13.87% over the same period, while the broad-based S&P 500® Index returned 11.21%. Diversified banks and regional banks – together representing roughly 34% of the sector benchmark – were strong performers, benefiting as improved U.S. economic growth boosted loan growth and expectations of an interest-rate hike. Individual standouts included diversified banks JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, Bank of America and Citigroup. Increased merger-and-acquisition activity and market volatility helped capital markets-related companies, notably in the specialized finance and investment banking & brokerage segments. Elsewhere, insurance stocks benefited from limited catastrophe claims and anticipation of higher interest rates. By contrast, consumer finance stocks, especially American Express, were pressured by worries that credit losses had bottomed. Many real estate investment trusts (REITs) – including Vereit, formerly American Realty Capital Partners – lagged, amid worries that rising interest rates would make their dividends less attractive. Returns for asset management & custody banks were held back by concern that the equity market could be near its peak.

Performance

 

The information provided in the tables below shows you the performance of Fidelity® MSCI Health Care Index ETF, with comparisons over different time periods to the fund’s relevant benchmarks, including an appropriate broad-based market index. Seeing the returns over different time periods can help you assess the fund’s performance against relevant measurements. The performance information includes average annual total returns and is further explained in this section.*

The fund’s net asset value (NAV) performance is based on the NAV calculated each business day. It is calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing investment company shares as of the close of regular trading hours on NYSE Arca, Inc. (NYSE Arca) (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time). The fund’s market price performance is based on the daily closing price of the shares of the fund on NYSE Arca. Since ETFs are bought and sold at prices set by the market – which can result in a premium or discount to NAV – the returns calculated using market price (market return) can differ from those calculated using NAV (NAV return). For information on these differences, please visit Fidelity.com or see the prospectus. The fund’s returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption or selling of fund shares. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data quoted. For month-end performance figures, please visit fidelity.com/etfs/sector-etfs/overview or call Fidelity.

Fidelity® MSCI Health Care Index ETF

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the 12 months ending July 31, 2015, the exchange-traded fund’s (ETF) net asset value advanced 30.40%, roughly in line with the 30.62% return of the MSCI USA IMI Health Care Index. The ETF’s market price gained 30.37% over the same time frame, while the broad-market S&P 500® Index rose 11.21%. Health care stocks continued to benefit from solid fundamentals and favorable long-term trends, including an aging population, a growing emerging-markets middle class with money to spend on health care, and a tremendous wave of innovation, particularly within the biotechnology group. Elevated merger-and-acquisition (M&A) activity was another positive for the sector. Pharmaceuticals and biotech, the two largest subindustry components of the MSCI sector index, rose about 25% and 44%, respectively, bolstered by the superior performance of Pfizer (+29%), Gilead Sciences (+29%) and Amgen (+41%). Among other subindustries, health care facilities (+29%) and managed health care (+52%) were two more bright spots. Leading indicators, such as rising hospital admissions and a declining U.S. unemployment rate, showed support for these groups. Additionally, the rollout of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) gave millions of Americans access to health insurance. In June, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled to uphold the ACA, removing some of the uncertainty around managed care stocks.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the 12 months ending July 31, 2015, the exchange-traded fund’s (ETF) net asset value rose 6.18%, roughly in line with the 6.25% advance of the MSCI USA IMI Industrials Index. The ETF’s market price gained 6.22% over the same time frame, while the broad-market S&P 500® Index returned 11.21%. Weak commodity prices, a strong U.S. dollar and lackluster global economic growth were factors hampering the industrials sector. Within the benchmark, building products (+36%) led the way, aided by improving U.S. residential and nonresidential construction. Aerospace & defense (+16%), the benchmark’s largest component, also outperformed, as the stocks of major aerospace manufacturers Boeing (+24%) and Honeywell (+17%) did well, along with defense contractors Lockheed Martin (+28%), Northrop Grumman (+44%) and General Dynamics (+30%). Industrial conglomerates, also a major component of the benchmark, advanced roughly 10% the past 12 months, with General Electric notably adding to the sector’s advance. Conversely, construction machinery & heavy trucks (-11%) was a laggard amid lackluster demand from the mining industry. Here, Caterpillar (-19%) and Joy Global (-54%) were major casualties. Construction & engineering (-13%), a segment in which many firms had exposure to weak energy prices, also detracted, with Fluor (-34%) a prime example.

The ETF’s market price gained 12.89% over the same time frame, while the broad-market S&P 500® Index advanced 11.21%. The technology sector benefited from a global economic recovery and product innovation that kept investors enthusiastic about the group. Data processing & outsourced services (+28%) was an outperforming subindustry, with payment processors Visa (+43%) and MasterCard (+32%) leading the way. Technology hardware, storage & peripherals (+17%) also outperformed, as smartphone maker Apple (+29%), the benchmark’s largest component, was the top contributor. Internet software & services (+15%) provided a lift as well, aided by social-networking firm Facebook (+29%) and online auction platform eBay (+28%). Conversely, semiconductor equipment (-5%) and electronic manufacturing services (-2%) were the only benchmark groups to record a negative return. IT services giant IBM (-14%) was the biggest individual detractor, its stock falling sharply in October 2014 after the company reported an earnings miss. Several computer-related stocks also detracted: chipmaker Intel (-12%), DRAM memory maker Micron Technology (-40%) and Hewlett-Packard (-13%), which makes computers and printers.

Within the benchmark, diversified metals & mining (-60%) was the weakest subindustry, held back by China’s slowing economy and tepid demand for copper, aluminum, iron ore and other industrial metals. Stocks reflecting these dynamics included copper miner Freeport-McMoRan (-68%) and aluminum producer Alcoa (-41%). Among other subindustries, gold (-34%), silver (-43%) and precious metals & minerals (-47%) also suffered amid declining precious metals prices. Gold miner Newmont Mining (-29%) was a notable detractor here. On the positive side, construction materials (+28%) stood out, bolstered by an ongoing U.S. economic recovery that benefited Vulcan Materials (+42%) and Martin Marietta Materials (+27%). Paper packaging (+28%) was aided by improving U.S. consumer spending for nondurable items, which drove demand for containerboard. Rock-Tenn (+31%), which merged with MeadWestvaco in July to form WestRock, was a noteworthy contributor from this group. Specialty chemicals, the largest subindustry in the index, also fared well, gaining 13% the past year, led by paint manufacturer Sherwin-Williams (+34%).

Fidelity® MSCI Telecommunication Services Index ETF

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the 12 months ending July 31, 2015, the exchange-traded fund’s (ETF) net asset value rose 2.56%, roughly in line with the 2.74% return of the MSCI USA IMI Telecommunication Services 25/50 Index. The ETF’s market price gained 2.56% over the same time frame, while the broad-market S&P 500® Index returned 11.21%. The sector is dominated by integrated telecommunication services, a group that returned -2% the past year. Notable laggards from this subindustry included CenturyLink (-23%) and Verizon Communications (-3%), the latter of which was a sizable index component and among the top-four wireless providers in the United States. Results were mixed among the remaining three majors, with shares of Sprint (-54%) turning in the worst return and holding back the sector index. The stock of AT&T gained only 3%, despite a run-up on the mid-May news of its intent to merge with satellite television provider DIRECTV. The deal was completed in July. Still, AT&T notably boosted the sector’s return, as it represented roughly 23% of the index, on average. T-Mobile’s shares rose 23% and helped the performance of the sector overall. Telecom also was lifted by alternative carriers (+14%), led by Vonage Holdings (+83%) and Inteliquent (+77%). Wireless telecommunication services added to the sector’s result, gaining roughly 9%, with the stock of cloud-based phone system provider RingCentral advancing 54%.

Fidelity® MSCI Utilities Index ETF

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

 

For the 12 months ending July 31, 2015, the exchange-traded fund’s (ETF) net asset value rose 9.13%, roughly in line with the 9.28% return of the MSCI USA IMI Utilities Index. The ETF’s market price gained 9.09% over the same time frame, while the broad-market S&P 500® Index returned 11.21%. The two largest segments of the MSCI sector index – electric utilities and multi-utilities, together representing about 86% – buoyed results the past year, gaining 10% and 13%, respectively. In a low-interest-rate environment, the regulated companies from these groups rose strongly, as investors sought their perceived relative safety. The index’s top individual contributor was shares of natural-gas pipeline and utilities company Columbia Pipeline Group, which was spun off from its parent company, NiSource, in early July and subsequently popped before evening out. Also contributing to the index’s overall result was Florida-based electric utility firm NextEra Energy, one of the index’s largest components. The company reported positive earnings, as well as strong continued growth of its business, lifting the stock price to a 14% gain. Conversely, independent power producers & energy traders – one of the index’s smallest components – was the worst performer for the period, returning -18%. Despite a reduction in coal-fired power plants and new environmental regulations that should have benefited the group, weaker-than-expected demand weighed heavily on these unregulated utilities. The biggest negative impact came from NiSource, whose stock plummeted after the Columbia Pipeline spin-off.

Shareholder Expense Example (Unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The actual expense Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (February 1, 2015 to July 31, 2015) for Fidelity MSCI Consumer Discretionary Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Consumer Staples Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Energy Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Financials Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Health Care Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Industrials Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Information Technology Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Materials Index ETF, Fidelity Telecommunication Services Index ETF and Fidelity MSCI Utilities Index ETF and for the period (February 2, 2015 to July 31, 2015) for Fidelity MSCI Real Estate Index ETF. The hypothetical expense Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested for the one-half year period (February 1, 2015 to July 31, 2015).

Actual Expenses

For each fund, the first line of the accompanying table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for each Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. In addition, each Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying money market fund, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying money market fund. These fees and expenses are not included in each Fund’s annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimates in the table below.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

For each fund, the second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio 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 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. In addition, each Fund, as a shareholder in the underlying money market fund, will indirectly bear its pro-rata share of the fees and expenses incurred by the underlying money market fund. These fees and expenses are not included in each Fund’s annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimates in the table below.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

Notes to Financial Statements

For the period ended July 31, 2015

 

1. Organization.

Fidelity MSCI Consumer Discretionary Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Consumer Staples Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Energy Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Financials Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Health Care Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Industrials Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Information Technology Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Materials Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Real Estate Index ETF (commenced operations on February 2, 2015), Fidelity MSCI Telecommunication Services Index ETF and Fidelity MSCI Utilities Index ETF (the Funds) are non-diversified exchange-traded funds of Fidelity Covington Trust (the Trust) and are authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

2. Significant Accounting Policies.

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Funds:

Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has delegated the day to day responsibility for the valuation of the Fund’s investments to the Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (SelectCo) Fair Value Committee (the Committee). In accordance with valuation policies and procedures approved by the Board, each Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing vendors or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events. The frequency with which these procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee oversees each Fund’s valuation policies and procedures and reports to the Board on the Committee’s activities and fair value determinations. The Board monitors the appropriateness of the procedures used in valuing each Fund’s investments and ratifies the fair value determinations of the Committee.

Each Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)

Level 3 – unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions based on the best information available)

Valuation techniques used to value each Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing vendor on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy in these circumstances. Utilizing these techniques may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Investments in open-end mutual funds (Underlying Funds) are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. If an unaffiliated underlying fund’s NAV is unavailable, shares of that fund may be valued by another method that the Board believes reflects fair value in accordance with the Board’s fair value pricing policies and is categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level, as of July 31, 2015, is included at the end of each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds’ investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of NYSE Arca, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds received from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which are recorded as soon as a fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair

market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Subsequent to ex-dividend date a fund determines the components of these distributions, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. Large, non-recurring dividends recognized by the Funds are presented separately on the Statements of Operations as “Special dividends” and the impact of these dividends is presented in the Financial Highlights. Interest income is accrued as earned.

Expenses. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of each Fund and do not include any expenses associated with the Underlying Funds. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, each Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required. As of July 31, 2015 each Fund did not have any unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements; nor is each Fund aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months. Each Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. A fund’s federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction. Realized gain or loss resulting from in-kind redemptions is not taxable to the Fund and is not distributed to shareholders of the Fund. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.

Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. In addition, certain Funds claimed a portion of the payments made to redeeming shareholders as a distribution for income tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.

Book-tax differences are primarily due to passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount, redemptions in kind, capital loss carryforwards, losses due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

For the period ended July 31, 2015, Fidelity MSCI Real Estate Index ETF’s distributions exceeded the aggregate amount of taxable income and net realized gains resulting in a return of capital for tax purposes. This was due to reductions in taxable income available for distribution after certain distributions had been made. The tax treatment for the 2015 calendar year will be reported to shareholders prior to February 1, 2016.

The federal tax cost of investment securities and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) as of period end were as follows for each Fund:

 

     Tax cost      Gross unrealized
appreciation
     Gross unrealized

    Net unrealized

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. SelectCo provides the Funds with investment management related services for which the Funds pay a monthly management fee that is based on an annual rate of .12% of each Fund’s average net assets. Under the management contract, SelectCo pays all other expenses, except the compensation of the independent Trustees and certain other expenses such as interest expense. The management fee paid to SelectCo is reduced by an amount equal to the fees and expenses paid by each fund to the independent Trustees.

Sub-Adviser. BlackRock Fund Advisors (BFA), serves as sub-adviser for the Funds. BFA provides discretionary investment advisory services to the Funds and is paid by SelectCo for providing these services.

5. Share Transactions.

The Funds issue and redeem shares at NAV only with certain authorized participants in large increments known as Creation Units. Purchases of Creation Units are made by tendering a basket of designated stocks to a fund and redemption proceeds are paid with a basket of securities from a fund’s portfolio with a balancing cash component to equate the market value of the basket of securities delivered or redeemed to the NAV per Creation Unit on the transaction date. Cash may be substituted equivalent to the value of certain securities generally when they are not available in sufficient quantity for delivery. A fund’s shares are available in smaller increments to investors in the secondary market at market prices and may be subject to commissions. Authorized participants pay a transaction fee to the shareholder servicing agent when purchasing and redeeming Creation Units of a fund. The transaction fee is used to defray the costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units.

6. Other.

The Funds’ organizational documents provide former and current directors and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Funds. In the normal course of business, the Funds may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Trustees of Fidelity Covington Trust and Shareholders of Fidelity MSCI Consumer Discretionary Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Consumer Staples Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Energy Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Financials Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Health Care Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Industrials Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Information Technology Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Materials Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Real Estate Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Telecommunication Services Index ETF and Fidelity MSCI Utilities Index ETF:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Fidelity MSCI Consumer Discretionary Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Consumer Staples Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Energy Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Financials Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Health Care Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Industrials Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Information Technology Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Materials Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Real Estate Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Telecommunication Services Index ETF and Fidelity MSCI Utilities Index ETF (the Funds), each a fund of the Fidelity Covington Trust, including the schedules of investments, as of July 31, 2015, and the related statements of operations, the statements of changes in net assets and financial highlights for each of the periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2015, by correspondence with the custodians and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fidelity MSCI Consumer Discretionary Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Consumer Staples Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Energy Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Financials Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Health Care Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Industrials Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Information Technology Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Materials Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Real Estate Index ETF, Fidelity MSCI Telecommunication Services Index ETF and Fidelity MSCI Utilities Index ETF as of July 31, 2015, and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Premium/Discount Analysis (Unaudited)

 

Shares of each fund are listed on NYSE Arca and can be bought and sold on the secondary market at market prices. Although the market price is expected to approximate the fund’s NAV, it is possible that the market price and NAV will vary significantly. The closing market price is the daily closing price as reported on NYSE Arca.

Premiums or discounts are the differences (expressed as a basis point differential with 1 basis point equaling 1/100 of 1%) between the fund’s NAV and closing market price. A premium indicates that the closing market price is trading above the NAV. A discount indicates that the closing market price is trading below the NAV. A discrepancy may exist with respect to the timing of when the NAV is calculated and the determination of the closing market price.

The chart below presents information about the differences between each fund’s daily closing market price and each fund’s NAV.

Table of Contents

Trustees and Officers (Unaudited)

 

The Trustees and officers of the trust and funds, as applicable, are listed below. The Board of Trustees governs each fund and is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders. The Trustees are experienced executives who meet periodically throughout the year to oversee each fund’s activities, review contractual arrangements with companies that provide services to each fund, oversee management of the risks associated with such activities and contractual arrangements, and review each fund’s performance. Each of the Trustees oversees 75 funds.

The Trustees hold office without limit in time except that (a) any Trustee may resign; (b) any Trustee may be removed by written instrument, signed by at least two-thirds of the number of Trustees prior to such removal; (c) any Trustee who requests to be retired or who has become incapacitated by illness or injury may be retired by written instrument signed by a majority of the other Trustees; and (d) any Trustee may be removed at any special meeting of shareholders by a two-thirds vote of the outstanding voting securities of the trust. The officers hold office without limit in time, except that any officer may resign or may be removed by a vote of a majority of the Trustees at any regular meeting or any special meeting of the Trustees. Except as indicated, each individual has held the office shown or other offices in the same company for the past five years.

Experience, Skills, Attributes, and Qualifications of the Funds’ Trustees. The Governance and Nominating Committee has adopted a statement of policy that describes the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills that are necessary and desirable for potential Independent Trustee candidates (Statement of Policy). The Board believes that each Trustee satisfied at the time he or she was initially elected or appointed a Trustee, and continues to satisfy, the standards contemplated by the Statement of Policy. The Governance and Nominating Committee also engages professional search firms to help identify potential Independent Trustee candidates who have the experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills consistent with the Statement of Policy. From time to time, additional criteria based on the composition and skills of the current Independent Trustees, as well as experience or skills that may be appropriate in light of future changes to board composition, business conditions, and regulatory or other developments, have also been considered by the professional search firms and the Governance and Nominating Committee. In addition, the Board takes into account the Trustees’ commitment and participation in Board and committee meetings, as well as their leadership of standing and ad hoc committees throughout their tenure.

In determining that a particular Trustee was and continues to be qualified to serve as a Trustee, the Board has considered a variety of criteria, none of which, in isolation, was controlling. The Board believes that, collectively, the Trustees have balanced and diverse experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills, which allow the Board to operate effectively in governing each fund and protecting the interests of shareholders. Information about the specific experience, skills, attributes, and qualifications of each Trustee, which in each case led to the Board’s conclusion that the Trustee should serve (or continue to serve) as a trustee of the funds, is provided below.

Board Structure and Oversight Function. Brian B. Hogan is an interested person (as defined in the 1940 Act) and currently serves as Chairman. The Trustees have determined that an interested Chairman is appropriate and benefits shareholders because an interested Chairman has a personal and professional stake in the quality and continuity of services provided to the funds. Independent Trustees exercise their informed business judgment to appoint an individual of their choosing to serve as Chairman, regardless of whether the Trustee happens to be independent or a member of management. The Independent Trustees have determined that they can act independently and effectively without having an Independent Trustee serve as Chairman and that a key structural component for assuring that they are in a position to do so is for the Independent Trustees to constitute a substantial majority for the Board. The Independent Trustees also regularly meet in executive session. Michael E. Wiley serves as Chairman of the Independent Trustees and as such (i) acts as a liaison between the Independent Trustees and management with respect to matters important to the Independent Trustees and (ii) with management prepares agendas for Board meetings.

Fidelity funds are overseen by different Boards of Trustees. The funds’ Board oversees Fidelity’s sector portfolios. Other Boards oversee Fidelity’s equity and high income funds, and Fidelity’s investment grade bond, money market, and asset allocation funds. The use of separate Boards, each with its own committee structure, allows the Trustees of each group of Fidelity funds to focus on the unique issues of the funds they oversee, including common research, investment, and operational issues. On occasion, the separate Boards establish joint committees to address issues of overlapping consequences for the Fidelity funds overseen by each Board.

The Trustees operate using a system of committees to facilitate the timely and efficient consideration of all matters of importance to the Trustees, each fund, and fund shareholders and to facilitate compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and oversight of the funds’ activities and associated risks. The Board, acting through its committees, has charged SelectCo and its affiliates with (i) identifying events or circumstances the occurrence of which could have demonstrably adverse effects on the funds’ business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate continuously business and market conditions in order to facilitate the identification and implementation processes described in (i) and (ii) above. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the funds are carried out by or through SelectCo, its affiliates, and other service providers, the funds’ exposure to risks is mitigated but not eliminated by the processes overseen by the Trustees. While each of the Board’s committees has responsibility for overseeing different aspects of the funds’ activities, oversight is exercised primarily through the Operations and Audit Committees. Appropriate personnel, including but not limited to the funds’ Chief Compliance Officer (CCO), SelectCo’s internal auditor, the independent accountants, the funds’ Treasurer and portfolio management personnel, make periodic reports to the Board’s committees, as appropriate. The responsibilities of each standing committee, including their oversight responsibilities, are described further under “Standing Committees of the Funds’ Trustees.”

The funds’ Statement of Additional Information (SAI) includes more information about the Trustees. To request a few copy, call Fidelity at 1-800-FIDELITY.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts and Management Fees

 

Fidelity MSCI Real Estate Index ETF

On October 29, 2014, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), voted to approve the management contract and sub-advisory agreement (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund. The Board, assisted by the advice of fund counsel and Independent Trustees’ counsel, considered a broad range of information.

Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided. The Board considered the staffing within the investment adviser, Fidelity SelectCo, LLC (SelectCo), and the sub-adviser, BlackRock Fund Advisors (BFA) (together, the Investment Advisers), including the backgrounds of the fund’s investment personnel, and also considered the fund’s investment objective, strategies, and related investment philosophies.

Resources Dedicated to Investment Management and Support Services. The Board reviewed the general qualifications and capabilities of the Investment Advisers’ respective investment staffs, including the size, education, experience, and resources thereof. The Board also considered the due diligence on BFA performed by SelectCo, which formed the basis for SelectCo’s recommendation that the Board approve the sub-advisory agreement with BFA.

Shareholder, Administrative and Other Services. The Board considered the nature, extent, quality, and cost of advisory, administrative, shareholder and other services to be performed by the Investment Advisers, affiliates of SelectCo and a third party service provider under the Advisory Contracts and under separate agreements for the fund. The Board also considered the nature and extent of the Investment Advisers’ supervision of third party service providers.

The Board noted that the growth of fund assets over time across the complex allows Fidelity to reinvest in the development of services designed to enhance the value or convenience of the Fidelity funds as investment vehicles. These services include 24-hour access to account information and market information through telephone representatives and over the Internet, investor education materials and asset allocation tools, and the expanded availability of Fidelity Investor Centers.

Investment Performance. The fund is a new fund and therefore had no historical performance for the Board to review at the time it approved the fund’s Advisory Contracts. The Board considered BFA’s reputation and its strength in managing passive exchange traded funds and the investment performance achieved by BFA as the sub-adviser for 10 other Fidelity index ETFs.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the nature, extent, and quality of services to be provided to the fund under the Advisory Contracts should benefit the fund’s shareholders.

Competitiveness of Management Fee and Total Expense Ratio. The Board considered the fund’s proposed management fee and the projected total expense ratio of the fund in reviewing the Advisory Contracts, and the fact that the management contract provides that SelectCo will be responsible for paying all operating expenses of the fund with the exception of fees and expenses of the independent Trustees, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions and non-recurring expenses. The Board noted that the fund’s proposed management fee rate is lower than the median fee rate of funds with similar Lipper investment objective categories and comparable investment mandates regardless of whether their management fee structures are comparable. The Board also considered that the projected total expense ratio of the fund is below the median of those comparable funds and classes used by the Board for management fee comparisons.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the fund’s management fee and projected total expense ratio were reasonable in light of the services that the fund and its shareholders will receive and the other factors considered.

Costs of the Services and Profitability. The fund is a new fund and therefore no revenue, cost, or profitability data was available for the Board to review in respect of the fund at the time it approved the Advisory Contracts. In connection with its future renewal of the fund’s Advisory Contracts, the Board will consider the revenues earned and the expenses incurred by the Investment Advisers in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering and servicing the fund and servicing the fund’s shareholders.

Economies of Scale. The Board will consider economies of scale when there is operating experience to permit assessment thereof. It noted that, notwithstanding the entrepreneurial risk associated with a new fund, the management fee was at a level normally associated, by comparison with competitors, with very high fund net assets, and Fidelity asserted to the Board that the level of the fee anticipated economies of scale at lower asset levels even before, if ever, economies of scale are achieved. The Board also noted that the fund and its shareholders would have access to the very considerable number and variety of services available through Fidelity and its affiliates.

Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the advisory fee structures are fair and reasonable, and that the fund’s Advisory Contracts should be approved.

The trust’s Audit Committee has considered non-audit services that were not pre-approved that were provided by Deloitte Entities to Fund Service Providers to be compatible with maintaining the independence of Deloitte Entities in its audit of the Funds, taking into account representations from Deloitte Entities, in accordance with Public Company Accounting Oversight Board rules, regarding its independence from the Funds and its related entities and SelectCo’s review of the appropriateness and permissibility under applicable law of such non-audit services prior to their provision to the Fund Service Providers.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The trust’s Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by a fund’s independent registered public accounting firm relating to the operations or financial reporting of the fund. Prior to the commencement of any audit or non-audit services to a fund, the Audit Committee reviews the services to determine whether they are appropriate and permissible under applicable law.

The Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures to, among other purposes, provide a framework for the Committee’s consideration of non-audit services by the audit firms that audit the Fidelity funds. The policies and procedures require that any non-audit service provided by a fund audit firm to a Fidelity fund and any non-audit service provided by a fund auditor to a Fund Service Provider that relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund (“Covered Service”) are subject to approval by the Audit Committee before such service is provided.


Table of Contents

All Covered Services must be approved in advance of provision of the service either: (i) by formal resolution of the Audit Committee, or (ii) by oral or written approval of the service by the Chair of the Audit Committee (or if the Chair is unavailable, such other member of the Audit Committee as may be designated by the Chair to act in the Chair’s absence). The approval contemplated by (ii) above is permitted where the Treasurer determines that action on such an engagement is necessary before the next meeting of the Audit Committee.

Non-audit services provided by a fund audit firm to a Fund Service Provider that do not relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of a Fidelity fund are reported to the Audit Committee on a periodic basis.

Non-Audit Services Approved Pursuant to Rule 2-01(c)(7)(i)(C) and (ii) of Regulation S-X (“De Minimis Exception”)

There were no non-audit services approved or required to be approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the De Minimis Exception during the Funds’ last two fiscal years relating to services provided to (i) the Funds or (ii) any Fund Service Provider that relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Funds.
