U.S. TREASURY BOND MARKET OVERVIEW

The U.S. Treasury bond market declined modestly during the 12 months ended February 28, 2018 (“reporting period”). The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Treasury Bond Index returned -0.56% for the reporting period, compared with the 0.51% return of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, a broad measure of U.S. bond performance.

The primary factors affecting the U.S. Treasury bond market during the reporting period were a strengthening U.S. economy and federal tax reform. The final nine months of 2017 featured the strongest three consecutive quarters of economic growth in more than 12 years. Key economic drivers included an increase in manufacturing activity and the lowest unemployment rate since December 2000.

In December 2017, the U.S. government passed federal tax reform legislation that included a steep reduction in corporate tax rates and a modest decrease in individual tax rates. The tax reform improved investors’ expectations for capital spending and economic growth, but it also raised concerns about federal budget deficits and higher inflation.

The annual consumer inflation rate remained near the 2% level targeted by the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank (“Fed”). However, signs of increasing inflation emerged late in the reporting period, including a sharp rise in energy prices and higher prices at the producer level. Inflation is typically measured in terms of both final (consumer) and intermediate (producer) goods; the Fed targets inflation in final goods.

In this environment, the Fed raised its short-term interest rate target three times during the reporting period to its highest level since October 2008. The Fed also began to reduce the amount of U.S. Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities on its balance sheet in October 2017. The interest rate increases and balance sheet reduction were part of the Fed’s plan to gradually reverse substantial economic stimulus measures, implemented in response to the 2008 credit crisis, and re-establish more normal monetary policy conditions.

A stronger economy, expectations of rising growth and inflation due to the tax cuts, and the Fed’s interest rate increases led to higher U.S. Treasury bond yields and lower U.S. Treasury bond prices, particularly in the latter half of the reporting period. Short-term U.S. Treasury yields rose steadily throughout the reporting period in response to the Fed’s interest rate increases in March 2017, June 2017, and December 2017. For the reporting period, the three-month U.S. Treasury yield rose from 0.53% to 1.65%, the two-year U.S. Treasury yield rose from 1.22% to 2.25%, and the three-year U.S. Treasury yield rose from 1.49% to 2.42%.

In contrast, intermediate- and long-term U.S. Treasury yields declined during the first half of the reporting period, reflecting little inflationary pressure and a lack of fiscal stimulus from the federal government. However, intermediate- and long-term U.S. Treasury yields reversed course over the last six months of the reporting period amid improving economic growth, increasing inflation, and the Fed’s move to reduce its holdings of U.S. Treasury bonds. In particular, yields rose sharply in early 2018 following the approval of federal tax reform legislation at the end of 2017.

Among intermediate-term bonds, the seven-year U.S. Treasury yield rose from 2.19% to 2.80% for the reporting period, while the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose from 2.36% to 2.87%. Yields on the longest-term U.S. Treasury bonds had the smallest increase, with the 20-year U.S. Treasury yield rising from 2.70% to 3.02% and the 30-year U.S. Treasury yield rising from 2.97% to 3.13%.

The iShares 10-20 Year Treasury Bond ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of U.S. Treasury bonds with remaining maturities between ten and twenty years, as represented by the ICE U.S. Treasury 10-20 Year Bond Index (the “Index”). The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the Index that collectively has an investment profile similar to the Index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the Fund may or may not hold all of the securities that are included in the Index. For the 12-month reporting period ended February 28, 2018, the total return for the Fund was -1.66%, net of fees, while the total return for the Index was -1.58%.

About Fund Performance

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at www.ishares.com. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the redemption or sale of fund shares. The investment return and principal value of shares will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are redeemed or sold in the market. Performance for certain funds may reflect a waiver of a portion of investment advisory fees. Without such a waiver, performance would have been lower.

Net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of a fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such fund’s NAV is calculated. Certain funds may have a NAV which is determined prior to the opening of regular trading on its listed exchange and their market returns are calculated using the midpoint of the bid/ask spread as of the opening of regular trading on the exchange. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike a fund, an index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by a fund. These expenses negatively impact fund performance. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower.

Shareholder Expenses

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of fund shares and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses. The expense example, which is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on September 1, 2017 and held through February 28, 2018, is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

Actual Expenses — The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. Annualized expense ratios reflect contractual and voluntary fee waivers, if any. To estimate the expenses that you paid on your account over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number corresponding to your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your 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 in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the hypothetical examples are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

iSHARES® TRUST

 

iShares 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 Trust was established as a Delaware statutory trust pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated December 16, 1999.

These financial statements relate only to the following funds (each, a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”):

The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of its underlying index. The investment adviser uses a “passive” or index approach to try to achieve each Fund’s investment objective.

Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Funds’ officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise 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.

 

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Fund is considered an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.

SECURITY VALUATION

Each Fund’s investments are valued at fair value each day that the Fund’s listing exchange is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the Fund’s listing exchange is not open. U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (the “Global Valuation Committee”) provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Funds. The investments of each Fund are valued pursuant to policies and procedures developed by the Global Valuation Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”).

 

   

Fixed income investments are valued using the last available bid price or current market quotations provided by dealers or prices (including evaluated prices) supplied by approved independent third-party pricing services. The pricing services may use matrix pricing or valuation models that utilize certain inputs and assumptions to derive values, including transaction

 

42    2018 iSHARES ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

iSHARES® TRUST

 

 

data, credit quality information, perceived market movements, news, and other relevant information and by other methods, which may include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; general market conditions; and/or other factors and assumptions. Pricing services generally value fixed income securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in such securities in smaller odd lot sizes. Odd lots may trade at lower prices than institutional round lots.

 

    Open-end U.S. mutual funds (including money market funds) are valued at that day’s published net asset value (“NAV”).

In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the fair value of such investment or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued by the Global Valuation Committee, in accordance with policies approved by the Board. The fair valuation approaches that may be utilized by the Global Valuation Committee to determine fair value include market approach, income approach and the cost approach. The valuation techniques used under these approaches take into consideration inputs that include but are not limited to (i) attributes specific to the investment; (ii) the principal market for the investment; (iii) the customary participants in the principal market for the investment; (iv) data assumptions by market participants for the investment, if reasonably available; (v) quoted prices for similar investments in active markets; and (vi) other inputs, such as future cash flows, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and/or default rates. Valuations based on such inputs are reported to the Board on a quarterly basis.

The Global Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating valuation approaches for investments where an active market does not exist, including regular due diligence of the Trust’s pricing vendors, a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing or stale prices, reviews of large movements in market values, and reviews of market related activity.

Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund’s NAV and the prices used by the Fund’s underlying index, which in turn could result in a difference between the Fund’s performance and the performance of the Fund’s underlying index.

Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of financial instruments. Inputs may be based on independent market data (“observable inputs”) or they may be internally developed (“unobservable inputs”). These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial reporting purposes as follows:

 

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

 

    Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and

 

    Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, including the Global Valuation Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments.

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgement exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is

determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The fair value hierarchy for each Fund’s investments is included in its schedule of investments.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the fair value hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of values determined for financial instruments are based on the pricing transparency of the financial instruments and are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, and payment-in-kind interest income, if any, are recognized daily on the accrual basis. Dividend income and capital gain distributions, if any, are recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dividends and distributions paid by each Fund are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Dividends and distributions are paid in U.S. dollars and cannot be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Funds.

LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

Each Fund may lend its investment securities to approved borrowers, such as brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges and maintains with the Fund collateral consisting of cash, an irrevocable letter of credit issued by an approved bank, or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government. The initial collateral received by each Fund is required to have a value of at least 102% of the current value of the loaned securities for securities traded on U.S. exchanges and a value of at least 105% for all other securities. The collateral is maintained thereafter at a value equal to at least 100% of the current value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day of the Funds. Any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds and any excess collateral is returned by the Funds on the next business day. During the term of the loan, each Fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities but does not receive interest income on securities received as collateral. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.

Cash received as collateral for securities on loan may be reinvested in certain short-term instruments either directly on behalf of a fund or through one or more joint accounts or money market funds, including those managed by BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BFA”), the Funds’ investment adviser, or its affiliates. As of February 28, 2018, any securities on loan were collateralized by cash and/or U.S. government obligations. Cash collateral received was invested in money market funds managed by BFA and is disclosed in the schedules of investments. Any non-cash collateral received cannot be sold, re-invested or pledged by the Fund, except in the event of borrower default. The securities on loan for each Fund are also disclosed in its schedule of investments. The total value of any securities on loan as of February 28, 2018 and the total value of the related cash collateral are disclosed in the statements of assets and liabilities. Income earned by the Funds from securities lending is disclosed in the statements of operations.

The risks of securities lending include the risk that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due. To mitigate these risks, the Funds benefit from a borrower default indemnity provided by BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). BlackRock’s indemnity allows for full replacement of securities loaned if the collateral received does not cover the value of the securities loaned in the event of borrower default. Each Fund could incur a loss if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the loaned securities or if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the original cash collateral received.

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARD

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update “Premium Amortization on Purchase Callable Debt Securities” which amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities. Under the new guidance, premium amortization of purchased callable debt securities that have explicit, non-contingent call features and are callable at fixed prices will be amortized to the earliest call date. The guidance will be applied on a modified retrospective basis and is effective for fiscal years, and their interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance to the Funds.

 

2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Trust, BFA manages the investment of each Fund’s assets. BFA is a California corporation indirectly owned by BlackRock. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, BFA is responsible for substantially all expenses of the Funds, except (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with the execution of portfolio transactions; (iii) distribution fees; (iv) the advisory fee payable to BFA; and (v) litigation expenses and any extraordinary expenses (in each case as determined by a majority of the independent trustees).

For its investment advisory services to each Fund, BFA is entitled to an annual investment advisory fee of 0.15%, accrued daily and paid monthly by the Funds, based on the average daily net assets of each Fund.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has issued an exemptive order which permits BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, N.A. (“BTC”), an affiliate of BFA, to serve as securities lending agent for the Funds, subject to applicable conditions. As securities lending agent, BTC bears all operational costs directly related to securities lending. Each Fund is responsible for fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral received for securities on loan in a money market fund managed by BFA, however, BTC has agreed to reduce the amount of securities lending income it receives in order to effectively limit the collateral investment fees each Fund bears to an annual rate of 0.04% (the “collateral investment fees”). Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral (excluding collateral investment fees), net of fees and other payments to and from borrowers of securities. The Funds retain a portion of securities lending income and remit the remaining portion to BTC as compensation for its services as securities lending agent.

Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, each Fund retains 80% of securities lending income and the amount retained can never be less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees. In addition, commencing the business day following the date that the aggregate securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees generated across all 1940 Act iShares exchange-traded funds (the “iShares ETF Complex”) in a given calendar year exceeds the aggregate securities lending income generated across the iShares ETF Complex in the calendar year 2013, each Fund, pursuant to a securities lending agreement, will retain for the remainder of that calendar year 85% of securities lending income and the amount retained can never be less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees.

4. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

Capital shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in aggregations of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”) at NAV. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the statements of changes in net assets.

The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a fund in the Trust generally consists of the in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of securities and a specified amount of cash. Certain funds in the Trust may be offered in Creation Units solely or partially for cash in U.S. dollars. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s administrator, to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units, including Creation Units for cash. Investors transacting in Creation Units for cash may also pay an additional variable charge to compensate the relevant fund for certain transaction costs (i.e., stamp taxes, taxes on currency or other financial transactions, and brokerage costs) and market impact expenses relating to investing in portfolio securities. Such variable charges, if any, are included in “Proceeds from shares sold” in the statements of changes in net assets.

 

5. PRINCIPAL RISKS

In the normal course of business, each Fund invests in securities or other instruments and may enter into certain transactions, and such activities subject the Fund to various risks, including, among others, fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of an issuer to meet all of its obligations. The value of securities or other instruments may also be affected by various factors,

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     47  


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

iSHARES® TRUST

 

including, without limitation: (i) the general economy; (ii) the overall market as well as local, regional or global political and/or social instability; (iii) regulation, taxation or international tax treaties between various countries; or (iv) currency, interest rate or price fluctuations. Each Fund’s prospectus provides details of the risks to which the Fund is subject.

BFA uses a “passive” or index approach to try to achieve each Fund’s investment objective following the securities included in its underlying index during upturns as well as downturns. BFA does not take steps to reduce market exposure or to lessen the effects of a declining market. Divergence from the underlying index and the composition of the portfolio is monitored by BFA.

MARKET RISK

Market risk arises mainly from uncertainty about future values of financial instruments influenced by price, currency and interest rate movements. It represents the potential loss a fund may suffer through holding market positions in the face of market movements. A fund is exposed to market risk by its investment in equity, fixed income and/or financial derivative instruments or by its investment in underlying funds. The fair value of securities held by a fund may decline due to general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuers of the securities including local, regional or global political, social or economic instability or to factors that affect a particular industry or group of industries. The extent of a fund’s exposure to market risk is the market value of the investments held as shown in the fund’s schedule of investments.

A diversified portfolio, where this is appropriate and consistent with a fund’s objectives, minimizes the risk that a price change of a particular investment will have a material impact on the NAV of a fund. The investment concentrations within each Fund’s portfolio are disclosed in its schedule of investments.

Changes in market interest rates or economic conditions may affect the value and/or liquidity of fixed income investments. Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of bonds and other fixed-income securities will decrease as interest rates rise and increase as interest rates fall. Securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes, usually making their prices more volatile than those of securities with shorter durations. Given the environment of historically low interest rates, a fund may be subject to a greater risk of price losses if interest rates rise.

CREDIT RISK

Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or guarantor of debt instruments or the counterparty to a financial transaction, including derivatives contracts, repurchase agreements or loans of portfolio securities, is unable or unwilling to make timely interest and/or principal payments or to otherwise honor its obligations. BFA and its affiliates manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose a fund to issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of a fund’s exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to those financial assets is approximated by their value recorded in its statement of assets and liabilities.

 

6. INCOME TAX INFORMATION

Each Fund is treated as an entity separate from the Trust’s other funds for federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of each Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions applicable to regulated investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to annually distribute substantially all of its ordinary income and any net capital gains (taking into account any capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income and excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required.

7. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On June 16, 2016, investors (the “Plaintiffs”) in certain iShares funds (iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF, iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF, iShares Core S&P 500 ETF, iShares Russell Mid-Cap Growth ETF, iShares Russell Mid-Cap ETF, iShares Russell Mid-Cap Value ETF, iShares Select Dividend ETF, iShares Morningstar Mid-Cap ETF, iShares Morningstar Large-Cap ETF, iShares U.S. Aerospace & Defense ETF and iShares U.S. Preferred Stock ETF) filed a putative class action lawsuit against iShares Trust, BlackRock, Inc. and certain of its advisory affiliates, and certain directors/trustees and officers of the Funds (collectively, “Defendants”) in California State Court. The lawsuit alleges the Defendants violated federal securities laws by failing to adequately disclose in the prospectuses issued by the funds noted above the risks of using stop-loss orders in the event of a ‘flash crash’, such as the one that occurred on May 6, 2010. On September 18, 2017, the court issued a Statement of Decision holding that the Plaintiffs lack standing to assert their claims. On October 11, 2017, the court entered final judgment dismissing all of the Plaintiffs’ claims with prejudice. Plaintiffs have appealed the court’s decision.

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of iShares Short Treasury Bond ETF, iShares 1-3 Year Treasury Bond ETF, iShares 3-7 Year Treasury Bond ETF, iShares 7-10 Year Treasury Bond ETF, Shares 10-20 Year Treasury Bond ETF and iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (six of the funds constituting iShares Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of February 28, 2018, the related statements of operations for the year ended February 28, 2018, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended February 28, 2018, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended February 28, 2018 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of February 28, 2018, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended February 28, 2018 and each of the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended February 28, 2018 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of February 28, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent 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 opinions.

Premium/Discount Information

The Premium/Discount Information section is intended to present information about the differences between the daily market price on secondary markets for shares of a fund and that fund’s NAV. NAV is the price at which a fund issues and redeems shares. It is calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The “Market Price” of a fund generally is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest ask on the primary securities exchange on which shares of such fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the fund’s NAV is calculated. A fund’s Market Price may be at, above or below its NAV. The NAV of a fund will fluctuate with changes in the value of its portfolio holdings. The Market Price of a fund will fluctuate in accordance with changes in its NAV, as well as market supply and demand.

Premiums or discounts are the differences (expressed as a percentage) between the NAV and Market Price of a fund on a given day, generally at the time the NAV is calculated. A premium is the amount that a fund is trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. A discount is the amount that a fund is trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV.

Premium/discount information for the Funds covering the most recently completed calendar year and the most recently completed calendar quarters since that year (or the life of the Fund, if shorter) is publicly accessible, free of charge, at www.iShares.com.

The following information shows the frequency of distributions of premiums and discounts for the Funds for the immediately preceding five calendar years (or from the inception date of the Fund, if less than five years) through the date of the most recent calendar quarter-end. Each line in each table shows the number of trading days in which the Fund traded within the premium/discount range indicated. The number of trading days in each premium/discount range is also shown as a percentage of the total number of trading days in the period covered by each table. All data presented here represents past performance, which cannot be used to predict future results.

Regulation under the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive

The Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (“AIFMD”) imposes detailed and prescriptive obligations on fund managers established in the European Union (the “EU”). These do not currently apply to managers established outside the EU, such as BFA. Rather, non-EU managers are only required to comply with certain disclosure, reporting and transparency obligations of the AIFMD if such managers market a fund to EU investors.

BFA has registered the the iShares 7-10 Year Treasury Bond ETF and iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (each a “Fund”, collectively the “Funds”) for marketing to investors in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Finland, Sweden, and Luxembourg.

Report on Remuneration

BFA is required under the AIFMD to make quantitative disclosures of remuneration. These disclosures are made in line with BlackRock’s interpretation of currently available regulatory guidance on quantitative remuneration disclosures. As market or regulatory practice develops BlackRock may consider it appropriate to make changes to the way in which quantitative remuneration disclosures are calculated. Where such changes are made, this may result in disclosures in relation to a fund not being comparable to the disclosures made in the prior year, or in relation to other BlackRock fund disclosures in that same year.

Disclosures are provided in relation to (a) the staff of BFA; (b) staff who are senior management; and (c) staff who have the ability to materially affect the risk profile of the Funds.

All individuals included in the aggregated figures disclosed are rewarded in line with BlackRock’s remuneration policy for their responsibilities across the relevant BlackRock business area. As all individuals have a number of areas of responsibilities, only the portion of remuneration for those individuals’ services attributable to the Funds is included in the aggregate figures disclosed.

BlackRock has a clear and well-defined pay-for-performance philosophy, and compensation programs which support that philosophy.

BlackRock operates a total compensation model for remuneration which includes a base salary, which is contractual, and a discretionary bonus scheme. Although all employees are eligible to receive a discretionary bonus, there is no contractual obligation to make a discretionary bonus award to any employees. For senior management, a significant percentage of variable remuneration is deferred over time. All employees are subject to a claw-back policy.

Remuneration decisions for employees are made once annually in January following the end of the performance year, based on BlackRock’s full-year financial results and other non-financial goals and objectives. Alongside financial performance, individual total compensation is also based on strategic and operating results and other considerations such as management and leadership capabilities. No set formulas are established and no fixed benchmarks are used in determining annual incentive awards.

Annual incentive awards are paid from a bonus pool which is reviewed throughout the year by BlackRock’s independent compensation committee, taking into account both actual and projected financial information together with information provided by the Enterprise Risk and Regulatory Compliance departments in relation to any activities, incidents or events that warrant consideration in making compensation decisions. Individuals are not involved in setting their own remuneration.

Each of the control functions (Enterprise Risk, Legal & Compliance, and Internal Audit) each have their own organizational structures which are independent of the business units. Functional bonus pools for those control functions are determined with reference to the performance of each individual function and the remuneration of the senior members of control functions is directly overseen by BlackRock’s independent compensation committee.

Members of staff and senior management of BFA typically provide both AIFMD and non-AIFMD related services in respect of multiple funds, clients and functions of BFA and across the broader BlackRock group. Therefore, the figures disclosed are a sum of each individual’s portion of remuneration attributable to the Funds according to an objective apportionment methodology which acknowledges the multiple-service nature of BFA. Accordingly the figures are not representative of any individual’s actual remuneration or their remuneration structure.

The amount of the total remuneration awarded by BFA to its staff which has been attributed to the iShares 7-10 Year Treasury Bond ETF in respect of BFA’s financial year ending December 31, 2017 was USD 732.37 thousand. This figure is comprised of

fixed remuneration of USD 291.91 thousand and variable remuneration of USD 440.46 thousand. There were a total of 417 beneficiaries of the remuneration described above.

The amount of the aggregate remuneration awarded by BFA, which has been attributed to the iShares 7-10 Year Treasury Bond ETF in respect of BFA’s financial year ending December 31, 2017, to its senior management was USD 102.46 thousand, and to members of its staff whose actions have a material impact on the risk profile of the Fund was USD 19.09 thousand.

The amount of the total remuneration awarded by BFA to its staff which has been attributed to the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF in respect of BFA’s financial year ending December 31, 2017 was USD 673.37 thousand. This figure is comprised of fixed remuneration of USD 268.4 thousand and variable remuneration of USD 404.98 thousand. There were a total of 417 beneficiaries of the remuneration described above.

The amount of the aggregate remuneration awarded by BFA, which has been attributed to the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF in respect of BFA’s financial year ending December 31, 2017, to its senior management was USD 94.2 thousand, and to members of its staff whose actions have a material impact on the risk profile of the Fund was USD 17.55 thousand.

U.S. MUNICIPAL BOND MARKET OVERVIEW

Performance in the municipal bond market was positive overall during the 12 months ended February 28, 2018 (“reporting period”). The S&P National AMT-Free Municipal Bond Index returned 2.45% for the reporting period, compared with the 0.51% return of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, a broad measure of U.S. bond performance.

The U.S. economy strengthened during the reporting period; the final nine months of 2017 were the strongest three consecutive quarters of economic growth in more than 12 years. Key economic drivers included an increase in manufacturing activity and the lowest unemployment rate since December 2000. Despite an improving economy, the annual inflation rate remained near the 2% level targeted by the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank (“Fed”). However, signs of increasing consumer inflation emerged late in the reporting period, including a sharp rise in energy prices and higher prices at the producer level. Inflation is typically measured in terms of both final (consumer) and intermediate (producer) goods; the Fed targets inflation in final goods.

In this environment, the Fed raised its short-term interest rate target three times during the reporting period to its highest level since October 2008. The Fed also began to reduce the amount of U.S. Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities on its balance sheet in October 2017. The interest rate increases and balance sheet reduction were part of the Fed’s plan to gradually reverse substantial economic stimulus measures, implemented in response to the 2008 credit crisis, and re-establish more normal monetary policy conditions.

Municipal bonds rallied during the first half of the reporting period as strong investor demand led to lower municipal bond yields and higher municipal bond prices. In particular, investors sought out the higher yields of lower-quality municipal securities, which outperformed higher-quality municipal bonds for the reporting period.

In the latter half of the reporting period, municipal bond market conditions grew increasingly volatile, in part due to a stronger economy, signs of rising inflation, and the Fed’s interest rate increases, which drove yields higher across all segments of the U.S. bond market.

But the most significant source of volatility was concern about the potential impact of federal tax reform legislation, passed in December 2017, which dampened bond market returns due to rising inflation expectations. In addition, several components of the legislation affected municipal bonds. For example, the legislation eliminated the tax exemption for “advanced refunding” municipal bonds, which are issued by municipalities when prevailing interest rates are low to refinance existing bonds prior to maturity. In response, state and local governments rushed to issue advanced refunding municipal bonds in late 2017 before the law took effect at the beginning of 2018. The sharp increase in issuance drove municipal bond yields higher late in the reporting period.

The steep reduction in corporate tax rates led to concerns about decreased demand for municipal bonds from insurance companies and banks, which make up nearly a quarter of the investor base for tax-advantaged municipal bonds.

For the reporting period, intermediate- and long-term bonds posted the best returns as their yields were largely unchanged. In contrast, returns for short-term municipal bonds were modestly positive as short-term yields rose, reflecting the Fed interest rate increases.

Among individual states, California municipal bonds performed in line with the broader municipal bond market, while New York municipal bonds underperformed. The state of California continued to generate a budget surplus, which allowed the state to expand its “rainy day” reserve fund. In contrast, New York faced a continued budget deficit that was exacerbated by lower-than-expected tax revenues.

About Fund Performance

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at www.ishares.com. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the redemption or sale of fund shares. The investment return and principal value of shares will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are redeemed or sold in the market. Performance for certain funds may reflect a waiver of a portion of investment advisory fees. Without such a waiver, performance would have been lower.

Net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of a fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such fund’s NAV is calculated. Certain funds may have a NAV which is determined prior to the opening of regular trading on its listed exchange and their market returns are calculated using the midpoint of the bid/ask spread as of the opening of regular trading on the exchange. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike a fund, an index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by a fund. These expenses negatively impact fund performance. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower.

Shareholder Expenses

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of fund shares and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses. The expense example, which is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on September 1, 2017 and held through February 28, 2018, is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

Actual Expenses — The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. Annualized expense ratios reflect contractual and voluntary fee waivers, if any. To estimate the expenses that you paid on your account over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number corresponding to your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your 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 in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the hypothetical examples are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

iSHARES® TRUST

 

iShares 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 Trust was established as a Delaware statutory trust pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated December 16, 1999.

These financial statements relate only to the following funds (each, a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”):

 

iShares ETF    Diversification
Classification

California Muni Bond

   Non-diversified

National Muni Bond

   Diversified

Short-Term National Muni Bond

   Diversified

New York Muni Bond

   Non-diversified

The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of its underlying index. The investment adviser uses a “passive” or index approach to try to achieve each Fund’s investment objective.

Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Funds’ officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise 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.

 

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Fund is considered an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.

SECURITY VALUATION

Each Fund’s investments are valued at fair value each day that the Fund’s listing exchange is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the Fund’s listing exchange is not open. U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (the “Global Valuation Committee”) provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Funds. The investments of each Fund are valued pursuant to policies and procedures developed by the Global Valuation Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”).

 

   

Fixed income investments are valued using the last available bid price or current market quotations provided by dealers or prices (including evaluated prices) supplied by approved independent third-party pricing services. The pricing services may use matrix pricing or valuation models that utilize certain inputs and assumptions to derive values, including transaction data, credit quality information, perceived market movements, news, and other relevant information and by other methods, which may include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type;

 

136    2018 iSHARES ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

iSHARES® TRUST

 

 

indications as to values from dealers; general market conditions; and/or other factors and assumptions. Pricing services generally value fixed income securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in such securities in smaller odd lot sizes. Odd lots may trade at lower prices than institutional round lots.

 

    Open-end U.S. mutual funds (including money market funds) are valued at that day’s published net asset value (“NAV”).

In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the fair value of such investment or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued by the Global Valuation Committee, in accordance with policies approved by the Board. The fair valuation approaches that may be utilized by the Global Valuation Committee to determine fair value include market approach, income approach and the cost approach. The valuation techniques used under these approaches take into consideration inputs that include but are not limited to (i) attributes specific to the investment; (ii) the principal market for the investment; (iii) the customary participants in the principal market for the investment; (iv) data assumptions by market participants for the investment, if reasonably available; (v) quoted prices for similar investments in active markets; and (vi) other inputs, such as future cash flows, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and/or default rates. Valuations based on such inputs are reported to the Board on a quarterly basis.

The Global Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating valuation approaches for investments where an active market does not exist, including regular due diligence of the Trust’s pricing vendors, a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing or stale prices, reviews of large movements in market values, and reviews of market related activity.

Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund’s NAV and the prices used by the Fund’s underlying index, which in turn could result in a difference between the Fund’s performance and the performance of the Fund’s underlying index.

Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of financial instruments. Inputs may be based on independent market data (“observable inputs”) or they may be internally developed (“unobservable inputs”). These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial reporting purposes as follows:

 

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

 

    Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and

 

    Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, including the Global Valuation Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments.

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgement exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The fair value hierarchy for each Fund’s investments is included in its schedule of investments.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the fair value hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of values determined for financial instruments are based on the pricing transparency of the financial instruments and are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, and payment-in-kind interest income, if any are recognized daily on the accrual basis. Dividend income and capital gain distributions, if any, are recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dividends and distributions paid by each Fund are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Dividends and distributions are paid in U.S. dollars and cannot be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Funds.

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARD

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update “Premium Amortization on Purchase Callable Debt Securities” which amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities. Under the new guidance, premium amortization of purchased callable debt securities that have explicit, non-contingent call features and are callable at fixed prices will be amortized to the earliest call date. The guidance will be applied on a modified retrospective basis and is effective for fiscal years, and their interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance to the Funds.

 

2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Trust, BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BFA”) manages the investment of each Fund’s assets. BFA is a California corporation indirectly owned by BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, BFA is responsible for substantially all expenses of the Funds, except (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with the execution of portfolio transactions; (iii) distribution fees; (iv) the advisory fee payable to BFA; and (v) litigation expenses and any extraordinary expenses (in each case as determined by a majority of the independent trustees).

For its investment advisory services to each Fund, BFA is entitled to an annual investment advisory fee of 0.25%, accrued daily and paid monthly by the Funds, based on the average daily net assets of each Fund.

In addition, the iShares National Muni Bond ETF may incur its pro rata share of fees and expenses attributable to its investments in other investment companies (“acquired fund fees and expenses”). BFA has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its investment advisory fees for the Fund through June 30, 2026 in an amount equal to the acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, attributable to the Fund’s investments in other iShares funds.

BlackRock Investments, LLC, an affiliate of BFA, is the distributor for each Fund. Pursuant to the distribution agreement, BFA is responsible for any fees or expenses for distribution services provided to the Funds.

Each Fund may invest its positive cash balances in certain money market funds managed by BFA or an affiliate. The income earned on these temporary cash investments is included in “Dividends – affiliated” in the statements of operations.

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is the largest stockholder of BlackRock and is considered to be an affiliate of the Funds for 1940 Act purposes.

The iShares National Muni Bond ETF, in order to improve its portfolio liquidity and its ability to track its underlying index, may invest in shares of other iShares funds that invest in securities in the Fund’s underlying index.

Certain trustees and officers of the Trust are also officers of BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, N.A. and/or BFA.

4. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

Capital shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in aggregations of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”) at NAV. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the statements of changes in net assets.

The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a fund in the Trust generally consists of the in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of securities and a specified amount of cash. Certain funds in the Trust may be offered in Creation Units solely or partially for cash in U.S. dollars. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s administrator, to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units, including Creation Units for cash. Investors transacting in Creation Units for cash may also pay an additional variable charge to compensate the relevant fund for certain transaction costs (i.e., stamp taxes, taxes on currency or other financial transactions, and brokerage costs) and market impact expenses relating to investing in portfolio securities. Such variable charges, if any, are included in “Proceeds from shares sold” in the statements of changes in net assets.

The Board authorized a two-for-one stock split for each of the iShares California Muni Bond ETF and iShares New York Muni Bond ETF, effective after the close of trading on October 17, 2017. The impact of the stock splits was to increase the number of shares outstanding by a factor of two, while decreasing the NAV per share by a factor of two, resulting in no effect on the net assets of the Funds. The financial statements for the Funds have been adjusted to reflect the stock splits.

 

5. PRINCIPAL RISKS

In the normal course of business, each Fund invests in securities or other instruments and may enter into certain transactions, and such activities subject the Fund to various risks, including, among others, fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of an issuer to meet all of its obligations. The value of securities or other instruments may also be affected by various factors, including, without limitation: (i) the general economy; (ii) the overall market as well as local, regional or global political and/or social instability; (iii) regulation, taxation or international tax treaties between various countries; or (iv) currency, interest rate or price fluctuations. Each Fund’s prospectus provides details of the risks to which the Fund is subject.

BFA uses a “passive” or index approach to try to achieve each Fund’s investment objective following the securities included in its underlying index during upturns as well as downturns. BFA does not take steps to reduce market exposure or to lessen the effects of a declining market. Divergence from the underlying index and the composition of the portfolio is monitored by BFA.

MARKET RISK

Market risk arises mainly from uncertainty about future values of financial instruments influenced by price, currency and interest rate movements. It represents the potential loss a fund may suffer through holding market positions in the face of market movements. A fund is exposed to market risk by its investment in equity, fixed income and/or financial derivative instruments or by its investment in underlying funds. The fair value of securities held by a fund may decline due to general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuers of the securities including local, regional or global political, social or economic instability or to factors that affect a particular industry or group of industries. The extent of a fund’s exposure to market risk is the market value of the investments held as shown in the fund’s schedule of investments.

A diversified portfolio, where this is appropriate and consistent with a fund’s objectives, minimizes the risk that a price change of a particular investment will have a material impact on the NAV of a fund. The investment concentrations within each Fund’s portfolio are disclosed in its schedule of investments.

Changes in market interest rates or economic conditions may affect the value and/or liquidity of fixed income investments. Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of bonds and other fixed-income securities will decrease as interest rates rise and increase as interest rates fall. Securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes, usually making their prices more volatile than those of securities with shorter durations. Given the environment of historically low interest rates, a fund may be subject to a greater risk of price losses if interest rates rise.

CREDIT RISK

Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or guarantor of debt instruments or the counterparty to a financial transaction, including derivatives contracts, repurchase agreements or loans of portfolio securities, is unable or unwilling to make timely interest and/or principal payments or to otherwise honor its obligations. BFA and its affiliates manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose a fund to issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of a fund’s exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to those financial assets is approximated by their value recorded in its statement of assets and liabilities.

iSHARES® TRUST

 

Municipal securities are subject to the risk that litigation, legislation or other political events, local business or economic conditions, credit rating downgrades, or the bankruptcy of the issuer could have a significant effect on an issuer’s ability to make payments of principal and/or interest or otherwise affect the value of such securities. Municipal securities can be significantly affected by political or economic changes as well as uncertainties in the municipal market related to, government regulation, taxation, legislative changes or the rights of municipal security holders, including in connection with an issuer insolvency. Municipal securities backed by current or anticipated revenues from a specific project or specific assets can be negatively affected by the discontinuance of the tax benefits supporting the project or assets or the inability to collect revenues from the project or the assets.

When a municipal bond fund concentrates its investments in issuers located in a single state, it assumes the risk that economic, political and social conditions affecting that state may have a significant impact on its investment performance.

 

6. INCOME TAX INFORMATION

Each Fund is treated as an entity separate from the Trust’s other funds for federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of each Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions applicable to regulated investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to annually distribute substantially all of its ordinary income and any net capital gains (taking into account any capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income and excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required.

U.S. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share. The following permanent differences as of February 28, 2018, attributable to the expiration of capital loss carry forwards, distributions received from a regulated investment company, realized gains (losses) from in-kind redemptions, were reclassified to the following accounts:

Management has analyzed tax laws and regulations and their application to the Funds as of February 28, 2018, inclusive of the open tax return years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability in the Funds’ financial statements.

 

7. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On June 16, 2016, investors (the “Plaintiffs”) in certain iShares funds (iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF, iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF, iShares Core S&P 500 ETF, iShares Russell Mid-Cap Growth ETF, iShares Russell Mid-Cap ETF, iShares Russell Mid-Cap Value ETF, iShares Select Dividend ETF, iShares Morningstar Mid-Cap ETF, iShares Morningstar Large-Cap ETF, iShares U.S. Aerospace & Defense ETF and iShares U.S. Preferred Stock ETF) filed a putative class action lawsuit against iShares Trust, BlackRock, Inc. and certain of its advisory affiliates, and certain directors/trustees and officers of the Funds (collectively, “Defendants”) in California State Court. The lawsuit alleges the Defendants violated federal securities laws by failing to adequately disclose in the prospectuses issued by the funds noted above the risks of using stop-loss orders in the event of a ‘flash crash’, such as the one that occurred on May 6, 2010. On September 18, 2017, the court issued a Statement of Decision holding that the Plaintiffs lack standing to assert their claims. On October 11, 2017, the court entered final judgment dismissing all of the Plaintiffs’ claims with prejudice. Plaintiffs have appealed the court’s decision.

 

8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds through the date the financial statements were available to be issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

To the Board of Trustees of iShares Trust and

Shareholders of iShares California Muni Bond ETF, iShares National Muni Bond ETF,

iShares Short-Term National Muni Bond ETF and iShares New York Muni Bond ETF

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of iShares California Muni Bond ETF, iShares National Muni Bond ETF, iShares Short-Term National Muni Bond ETF and iShares New York Muni Bond ETF (four of the funds constituting iShares Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of February 28, 2018, the related statements of operations for the year ended February 28, 2018, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended February 28, 2018, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended February 28, 2018 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of February 28, 2018, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended February 28, 2018 and each of the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended February 28, 2018 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of February 28, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent 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 opinions.

Premium/Discount Information

The Premium/Discount Information section is intended to present information about the differences between the daily market price on secondary markets for shares of a fund and that fund’s NAV. NAV is the price at which a fund issues and redeems shares. It is calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The “Market Price” of a fund generally is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest ask on the primary securities exchange on which shares of such fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the fund’s NAV is calculated. A fund’s Market Price may be at, above or below its NAV. The NAV of a fund will fluctuate with changes in the value of its portfolio holdings. The Market Price of a fund will fluctuate in accordance with changes in its NAV, as well as market supply and demand.

Premiums or discounts are the differences (expressed as a percentage) between the NAV and Market Price of a fund on a given day, generally at the time the NAV is calculated. A premium is the amount that a fund is trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. A discount is the amount that a fund is trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV.

Premium/discount information for the Funds covering the most recently completed calendar year and the most recently completed calendar quarters since that year (or the life of the Fund, if shorter) is publicly accessible, free of charge, at www.iShares.com.

The following information shows the frequency of distributions of premiums and discounts for the Funds for the immediately preceding five calendar years (or from the inception date of the Fund, if less than five years) through the date of the most recent calendar quarter-end. Each line in each table shows the number of trading days in which the Fund traded within the premium/discount range indicated. The number of trading days in each premium/discount range is also shown as a percentage of the total number of trading days in the period covered by each table. All data presented here represents past performance, which cannot be used to predict future results.

U.S. CREDIT BOND MARKET OVERVIEW

U.S. investment-grade, credit-sensitive bond performance was positive during the 12 months ended February 28, 2018 (“reporting period”). The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Credit Bond Index, a measure of U.S. dollar-denominated credit-sensitive bond performance, returned 2.12% for the reporting period, compared with the 0.51% return of the broad Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. Credit-sensitive bonds tend to react to changes in the economy or other factors that affect the issuer’s ability to meet its debt obligations.

The primary factors affecting bond market performance during the reporting period were a strengthening U.S. economy and federal tax reform. The final nine months of 2017 were the strongest three consecutive quarters of economic growth in more than 12 years. Key economic drivers included an increase in manufacturing activity and the lowest unemployment rate since December 2000.

In December 2017, the U.S. government passed federal tax reform legislation that included a steep reduction in corporate tax rates and a modest decrease in individual tax rates. The tax reform improved investors’ expectations for capital spending and economic growth, but it also raised concerns about federal budget deficits and higher inflation.

The annual consumer inflation rate remained near the 2% level targeted by the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank (“Fed”). However, signs of increasing inflation emerged late in the reporting period, including a sharp rise in energy prices and higher prices at the producer level. Inflation is typically measured in terms of both final (consumer) and intermediate (producer) goods; the Fed targets inflation in final goods.

In this environment, the Fed raised its short-term interest rate target three times during the reporting period to its highest level since October 2008. The Fed also began to reduce the amount of U.S. Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities on its balance sheet in October 2017. The interest rate increases and balance sheet reduction were part of the Fed’s plan to gradually reverse substantial economic stimulus measures, implemented in response to the 2008 credit crisis, and re-establish more normal monetary policy conditions.

A stronger economy, expectations of rising growth and inflation due to the tax cuts, and the Fed’s interest rate increases led to higher Treasury bond yields and lower bond prices, particularly in the latter half of the reporting period. However, credit-sensitive investment-grade bonds outperformed Treasury bonds as the difference in yield between credit-sensitive bonds and Treasury securities narrowed during the reporting period.

The performance of credit-sensitive bonds was a consequence of strong investor demand for yield. In particular, credit-sensitive bonds with lower credit ratings, which tend to have the highest yields, were the best performers for the reporting period, bolstered by the strong fundamentals of the domestic economy and a relatively low amount of defaults. Reflecting the Fed’s actions and investor demand, yields on short-term securities rose, while those on longer-term bonds were little changed. Consequently, the shortest-term credit-sensitive bonds posted modest gains, while intermediate- and longer-term securities generated stronger returns.

While overall issuance of corporate bonds hit a record high in 2017, net new corporate bond supply (which accounts for maturities and coupon payments of existing bonds) was lower than in either of the prior two years. In addition, federal tax reform made it less attractive for corporations to issue bonds and less costly to repatriate cash held overseas.

Among credit-sensitive bonds, U.S. corporate securities generated the best returns for the reporting period. U.S. dollar-denominated foreign bonds also advanced, helped by strong investor demand and healthy economic growth in emerging and developed markets.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (Continued)

iSHARES® 1-3 YEAR CREDIT BOND ETF

 

The iShares 1-3 Year Credit Bond ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of U.S. dollar-denominated, investment-grade corporate, sovereign, supranational, local authority and non-U.S. agency bonds with remaining maturities between one and three years, as represented by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. 1-3 Year Credit Bond Index (the “Index”). The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the Index that collectively has an investment profile similar to the Index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the Fund may or may not hold all of the securities that are included in the Index. For the 12-month reporting period ended February 28, 2018, the total return for the Fund was 0.42%, net of fees, while the total return for the Index was 0.70%.

About Fund Performance

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at www.ishares.com. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the redemption or sale of fund shares. The investment return and principal value of shares will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are redeemed or sold in the market. Performance for certain funds may reflect a waiver of a portion of investment advisory fees. Without such a waiver, performance would have been lower.

Net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of a fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such fund’s NAV is calculated. Certain funds may have a NAV which is determined prior to the opening of regular trading on its listed exchange and their market returns are calculated using the midpoint of the bid/ask spread as of the opening of regular trading on the exchange. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike a fund, an index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by a fund. These expenses negatively impact fund performance. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower.

Shareholder Expenses

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of fund shares and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses. The expense example, which is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on September 1, 2017 and held through February 28, 2018, is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

Actual Expenses The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. Annualized expense ratios reflect contractual and voluntary fee waivers, if any. To estimate the expenses that you paid on your account over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number corresponding to your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your 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 in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the hypothetical examples are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

iSHARES® TRUST

 

iShares 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 Trust was established as a Delaware statutory trust pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated December 16, 1999.

These financial statements relate only to the following funds (each, a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”):

 

iShares ETF   

Diversification

Classification

1-3 Year Credit Bond

   Diversified

U.S. Credit Bond

   Diversified

The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of its underlying index. The investment adviser uses a “passive” or index approach to try to achieve each Fund’s investment objective.

Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Funds’ officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise 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.

 

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Fund is considered an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.

SECURITY VALUATION

Each Fund’s investments are valued at fair value each day that the Fund’s listing exchange is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the Fund’s listing exchange is not open. U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (the “Global Valuation Committee”) provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Funds. The investments of each Fund are valued pursuant to policies and procedures developed by the Global Valuation Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”).

 

    Fixed income investments are valued using the last available bid price or current market quotations provided by dealers or prices (including evaluated prices) supplied by approved independent third-party pricing services. The pricing services may use matrix pricing or valuation models that utilize certain inputs and assumptions to derive values, including transaction data, credit quality information, perceived market movements, news, and other relevant information and by other methods, which may include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; general market conditions; and/or other factors and assumptions. Pricing services generally value fixed income securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in such securities in smaller odd lot sizes. Odd lots may trade at lower prices than institutional round lots.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

iSHARES® TRUST

 

    Open-end U.S. mutual funds (including money market funds) are valued at that day’s published net asset value (“NAV”).

In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the fair value of such investment or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued by the Global Valuation Committee, in accordance with policies approved by the Board. The fair valuation approaches that may be utilized by the Global Valuation Committee to determine fair value include market approach, income approach and the cost approach. The valuation techniques used under these approaches take into consideration inputs that include but are not limited to (i) attributes specific to the investment; (ii) the principal market for the investment; (iii) the customary participants in the principal market for the investment; (iv) data assumptions by market participants for the investment, if reasonably available; (v) quoted prices for similar investments in active markets; and (vi) other inputs, such as future cash flows, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and/or default rates. Valuations based on such inputs are reported to the Board on a quarterly basis.

The Global Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating valuation approaches for investments where an active market does not exist, including regular due diligence of the Trust’s pricing vendors, a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing or stale prices, reviews of large movements in market values, and reviews of market related activity.

Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund’s NAV and the prices used by the Fund’s underlying index, which in turn could result in a difference between the Fund’s performance and the performance of the Fund’s underlying index.

Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of financial instruments. Inputs may be based on independent market data (“observable inputs”) or they may be internally developed (“unobservable inputs”). These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial reporting purposes as follows:

 

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

 

    Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and

 

    Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, including the Global Valuation Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments.

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgement exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The fair value hierarchy for each Fund’s investments is included in its schedule of investments.

iSHARES® TRUST

 

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the fair value hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of values determined for financial instruments are based on the pricing transparency of the financial instruments and are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, and payment-in-kind interest income, if any, are recognized daily on the accrual basis. Dividend income and capital gain distributions, if any, are recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dividends and distributions paid by each Fund are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Dividends and distributions are paid in U.S. dollars and cannot be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Funds.

LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

Each Fund may lend its investment securities to approved borrowers, such as brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges and maintains with the Fund collateral consisting of cash, an irrevocable letter of credit issued by an approved bank, or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government. The initial collateral received by each Fund is required to have a value of at least 102% of the current value of the loaned securities for securities traded on U.S. exchanges and a value of at least 105% for all other securities. The collateral is maintained thereafter at a value equal to at least 100% of the current value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day of the Funds. Any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds and any excess collateral is returned by the Funds on the next business day. During the term of the loan, each Fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities but does not receive interest income on securities received as collateral. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.

Cash received as collateral for securities on loan may be reinvested in certain short-term instruments either directly on behalf of a fund or through one or more joint accounts or money market funds, including those managed by BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BFA”), the Funds’ investment adviser, or its affiliates. As of February 28, 2018, any securities on loan were collateralized by cash and/or U.S. government obligations. Cash collateral received was invested in money market funds managed by BFA and is disclosed in the schedules of investments. Any non-cash collateral received cannot be sold, re-invested or pledged by the Fund, except in the event of borrower default. The securities on loan for each Fund are also disclosed in its schedule of investments. The total value of any securities on loan as of February 28, 2018 and the total value of the related cash collateral are disclosed in the statements of assets and liabilities. Income earned by the Funds from securities lending is disclosed in the statements of operations.

The risks of securities lending include the risk that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due. To mitigate these risks, the Funds benefit from a borrower default indemnity provided by BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). BlackRock’s indemnity allows for full replacement of securities loaned if the collateral received does not cover the value of the securities loaned in the event of borrower default. Each Fund could incur a loss if the value of an

iSHARES® TRUST

 

investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the loaned securities or if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the original cash collateral received.

Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Funds under Master Securities Lending Agreements (“MSLA”) which provide the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency) for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate a net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. In the event that a borrower defaults, a Fund, as lender, would offset the market value of the collateral received against the market value of the securities loaned. The value of the collateral is typically greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, leaving the lender with a net amount payable to the defaulting party. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of an MSLA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Under the MSLA, the borrower can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities, and a Fund can reinvest cash collateral, or, upon an event of default, resell or re-pledge the collateral.

The following table is a summary of securities lending agreements which are subject to offset under an MSLA as of February 28, 2018:

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARD

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update “Premium Amortization on Purchase Callable Debt Securities” which amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities. Under the new guidance, premium amortization of purchased callable debt securities that have explicit, non-contingent call features and are callable at fixed prices will be amortized to the earliest call date. The guidance will be applied on a modified retrospective basis and is effective for fiscal years, and their interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance to the Funds.

 

2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Trust, BFA manages the investment of each Fund’s assets. BFA is a California corporation indirectly owned by BlackRock. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, BFA is responsible for substantially all expenses of the Funds, except (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with the execution of portfolio transactions; (iii) distribution fees; (iv) the advisory fee payable to BFA; and (v) litigation expenses and any extraordinary expenses (in each case as determined by a majority of the independent trustees).

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

iSHARES® TRUST

 

For its investment advisory services to the iShares 1-3 Year Credit Bond ETF, BFA is entitled to an annual investment advisory fee, accrued daily and paid monthly by the Fund, based on the Fund’s allocable portion of the aggregate of the average daily net assets of the Fund and certain other iShares funds, as follows:

 

Investment Advisory Fee   Aggregate Average Daily Net Assets
    0.2000 %  

First $121 billion

    0.1900 a  

Over $121 billion, up to and including $181 billion

    0.1805 a  

Over $181 billion, up to and including $231 billion

    0.1715 a  

Over $231 billion, up to and including $281 billion

    0.1630 a  

Over $281 billion

 

  a    Investment advisory fee level reflects a 5% reduction (rounded to the fourth decimal place) from the investment advisory fee at the prior aggregate average daily net asset level.

For its investment advisory services to the iShares U.S. Credit Bond ETF, BFA is entitled to an annual investment advisory fee of 0.15%, accrued daily and paid monthly by the Fund, based on the average daily net assets of the Fund.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has issued an exemptive order which permits BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, N.A. (“BTC”), an affiliate of BFA, to serve as securities lending agent for the Funds, subject to applicable conditions. As securities lending agent, BTC bears all operational costs directly related to securities lending. Each Fund is responsible for fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral received for securities on loan in a money market fund managed by BFA, however, BTC has agreed to reduce the amount of securities lending income it receives in order to effectively limit the collateral investment fees each Fund bears to an annual rate of 0.04% (the “collateral investment fees”). Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral (excluding collateral investment fees), net of fees and other payments to and from borrowers of securities. The Funds retain a portion of securities lending income and remit the remaining portion to BTC as compensation for its services as securities lending agent.

Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, each Fund retains 80% of securities lending income and the amount retained can never be less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees. In addition, commencing the business day following the date that the aggregate securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees generated across all 1940 Act iShares exchange-traded funds (the “iShares ETF Complex”) in a given calendar year exceeds the aggregate securities lending income generated across the iShares ETF Complex in the calendar year 2013, each Fund, pursuant to a securities lending agreement, will retain for the remainder of that calendar year 85% of securities lending income and the amount retained can never be less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees.

For the year ended February 28, 2018, the total of securities lending agent services and collateral investment fees paid were as follows:

Cross trading is the buying or selling of portfolio securities between funds to which BFA (or an affiliate) serves as investment adviser. At its regularly scheduled quarterly meetings, the Board reviews such transactions as of the most recent calendar quarter for compliance with the requirements and restrictions set forth by Rule 17a-7.

For the year ended February 28, 2018, transactions executed by the Funds pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act were as follows:

4. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

Capital shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in aggregations of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”) at NAV. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the statements of changes in net assets.

The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a fund in the Trust generally consists of the in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of securities and a specified amount of cash. Certain funds in the Trust may be offered in Creation Units solely or partially for cash in U.S. dollars. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s administrator, to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units, including Creation Units for cash. Investors transacting in Creation Units for cash may also pay an additional variable charge to compensate the relevant fund for

Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

iSHARES® TRUST

 

certain transaction costs (i.e., stamp taxes, taxes on currency or other financial transactions, and brokerage costs) and market impact expenses relating to investing in portfolio securities. Such variable charges, if any, are included in “Proceeds from shares sold” in the statements of changes in net assets.

 

5. PRINCIPAL RISKS

In the normal course of business, each Fund invests in securities or other instruments and may enter into certain transactions, and such activities subject the Fund to various risks, including, among others, fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of an issuer to meet all of its obligations. The value of securities or other instruments may also be affected by various factors, including, without limitation: (i) the general economy; (ii) the overall market as well as local, regional or global political and/or social instability; (iii) regulation, taxation or international tax treaties between various countries; or (iv) currency, interest rate or price fluctuations. Each Fund’s prospectus provides details of the risks to which the Fund is subject.

BFA uses a “passive” or index approach to try to achieve each Fund’s investment objective following the securities included in its underlying index during upturns as well as downturns. BFA does not take steps to reduce market exposure or to lessen the effects of a declining market. Divergence from the underlying index and the composition of the portfolio is monitored by BFA.

MARKET RISK

Market risk arises mainly from uncertainty about future values of financial instruments influenced by price, currency and interest rate movements. It represents the potential loss a fund may suffer through holding market positions in the face of market movements. A fund is exposed to market risk by its investment in equity, fixed income and/or financial derivative instruments or by its investment in underlying funds. The fair value of securities held by a fund may decline due to general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuers of the securities including local, regional or global political, social or economic instability or to factors that affect a particular industry or group of industries. The extent of a fund’s exposure to market risk is the market value of the investments held as shown in the fund’s schedule of investments.

A diversified portfolio, where this is appropriate and consistent with a fund’s objectives, minimizes the risk that a price change of a particular investment will have a material impact on the NAV of a fund. The investment concentrations within each Fund’s portfolio are disclosed in its schedule of investments.

Investing in the securities of non-U.S. issuers involves certain considerations and risks not typically associated with securities of U.S. issuers. Such risks include, but are not limited to: differences in accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards; more substantial governmental involvement in the economy; higher inflation rates, greater social, economic and political uncertainties; possible nationalization or expropriation of assets; less availability of public information about issuers; imposition of withholding or other taxes; higher transaction and custody costs and delays in settlement procedures; and lower level of regulation of the securities markets and issuers. Non-U.S. securities may be less liquid, more difficult to value, and have greater price volatility due to exchange rate fluctuations. These and other risks are heightened for investments in issuers from countries with less developed capital markets.

The economies and markets of European countries are often closely connected and interdependent, and events in one country in Europe can have an adverse impact on other European countries. The European financial markets have experienced volatility and adverse trends in recent years due to concerns about economic downturns or rising government debt levels in several European countries. These events have adversely affected the exchange rate of the euro and may continue to significantly affect European countries. The occurrence of terrorist incidents throughout Europe also could impact financial markets. In addition, the United Kingdom has voted to withdraw from the European Union. The referendum may introduce significant new uncertainties and instability in the financial markets as the United Kingdom negotiates its exit from the European Union.

Changes in market interest rates or economic conditions may affect the value and/or liquidity of fixed income investments. Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of bonds and other fixed-income securities will decrease as interest rates rise and increase as interest rates fall. Securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes, usually making their prices more volatile than those of securities with shorter durations. Given the environment of historically low interest rates, a fund may be subject to a greater risk of price losses if interest rates rise.

CREDIT RISK

Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or guarantor of debt instruments or the counterparty to a financial transaction, including derivatives contracts, repurchase agreements or loans of portfolio securities, is unable or unwilling to make timely interest and/or principal payments or to otherwise honor its obligations. BFA and its affiliates manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose a fund to issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of a fund’s exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to those financial assets is approximated by their value recorded in its statement of assets and liabilities.

 

6. INCOME TAX INFORMATION

Each Fund is treated as an entity separate from the Trust’s other funds for federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of each Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions applicable to regulated investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to annually distribute substantially all of its ordinary income and any net capital gains (taking into account any capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income and excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required.

U.S. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share. The following permanent differences as of February 28, 2018, attributable to the realized gains (losses) from in-kind redemptions, were reclassified to the following accounts:

 

iShares ETF    Paid-in
Capital
    Undistributed

   $ (1,821,369   $ 1,821,369

     5,654,502       (5,654,502

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended February 28, 2018 and February 28, 2017 was as follows:

 

iShares ETF    2018      2017  

1-3 Year Credit Bond

  a    The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) was attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

As of February 28, 2018, the Funds had non-expiring capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains as follows:

As of February 28, 2018, gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation based on cost of investments (including short positions and derivatives) for U.S. federal income tax purposes were as follows:

Management has analyzed tax laws and regulations and their application to the Funds as of February 28, 2018, inclusive of the open tax return years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability in the Funds’ financial statements.

 

7. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On June 16, 2016, investors (the “Plaintiffs”) in certain iShares funds (iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF, iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF, iShares Core S&P 500 ETF, iShares Russell Mid-Cap Growth ETF, iShares Russell Mid-Cap ETF, iShares Russell Mid-Cap Value ETF, iShares Select Dividend ETF, iShares Morningstar Mid-Cap ETF, iShares Morningstar Large-Cap ETF, iShares U.S. Aerospace & Defense ETF and iShares U.S. Preferred Stock ETF) filed a putative class action lawsuit against iShares Trust, BlackRock, Inc. and certain of its advisory affiliates, and certain directors/trustees and officers of the Funds (collectively, “Defendants”) in California State Court. The lawsuit alleges the Defendants violated federal securities laws by failing to adequately disclose in the prospectuses issued by the funds noted above the risks of using stop-loss orders in the event of a ‘flash crash’, such as the one that occurred on May 6, 2010. On September 18, 2017, the court issued a Statement of Decision holding that the Plaintiffs lack standing to assert their claims. On October 11, 2017, the court entered final judgment dismissing all of the Plaintiffs’ claims with prejudice. Plaintiffs have appealed the court’s decision.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Trustees of iShares Trust and

Shareholders of iShares 1-3 Year Credit Bond ETF and iShares U.S. Credit Bond ETF

 

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of iShares 1-3 Year Credit Bond ETF and iShares U.S. Credit Bond ETF (two of the funds constituting iShares Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of February 28, 2018, the related statements of operations for the year ended February 28, 2018, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended February 28, 2018, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended February 28, 2018 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of February 28, 2018, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended February 28, 2018 and each of the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended February 28, 2018 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinions

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of February 28, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent 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 opinions.

Premium/Discount Information

The Premium/Discount Information section is intended to present information about the differences between the daily market price on secondary markets for shares of a fund and that fund’s NAV. NAV is the price at which a fund issues and redeems shares. It is calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The “Market Price” of a fund generally is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest ask on the primary securities exchange on which shares of such fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the fund’s NAV is calculated. A fund’s Market Price may be at, above or below its NAV. The NAV of a fund will fluctuate with changes in the value of its portfolio holdings. The Market Price of a fund will fluctuate in accordance with changes in its NAV, as well as market supply and demand.

Premiums or discounts are the differences (expressed as a percentage) between the NAV and Market Price of a fund on a given day, generally at the time the NAV is calculated. A premium is the amount that a fund is trading above the reported NAV,

expressed as a percentage of the NAV. A discount is the amount that a fund is trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV.

Premium/discount information for the Funds covering the most recently completed calendar year and the most recently completed calendar quarters since that year (or the life of the Fund, if shorter) is publicly accessible, free of charge, at www.iShares.com.

The following information shows the frequency of distributions of premiums and discounts for the Funds for the immediately preceding five calendar years (or from the inception date of the Fund, if less than five years) through the date of the most recent calendar quarter-end. Each line in each table shows the number of trading days in which the Fund traded within the premium/discount range indicated. The number of trading days in each premium/discount range is also shown as a percentage of the total number of trading days in the period covered by each table.

Regulation under the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive

The Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (“AIFMD”) imposes detailed and prescriptive obligations on fund managers established in the European Union (the “EU”). These do not currently apply to managers established outside the EU, such as BFA. Rather, non-EU managers are only required to comply with certain disclosure, reporting and transparency obligations of the AIFMD if such managers market a fund to EU investors.

BFA has registered the iShares 1-3 Year Credit Bond ETF (the “Fund”), for marketing to investors in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Finland, Sweden, and Luxembourg.

Report on Remuneration

BFA is required under the AIFMD to make quantitative disclosures of remuneration. These disclosures are made in line with BlackRock’s interpretation of currently available regulatory guidance on quantitative remuneration disclosures. As market or regulatory practice develops BlackRock may consider it appropriate to make changes to the way in which quantitative remuneration disclosures are calculated. Where such changes are made, this may result in disclosures in relation to a fund not being comparable to the disclosures made in the prior year, or in relation to other BlackRock fund disclosures in that same year.

Disclosures are provided in relation to (a) the staff of BFA; (b) staff who are senior management; and (c) staff who have the ability to materially affect the risk profile of the Fund.

All individuals included in the aggregated figures disclosed are rewarded in line with BlackRock’s remuneration policy for their responsibilities across the relevant BlackRock business area. As all individuals have a number of areas of responsibilities, only the portion of remuneration for those individuals’ services attributable to the Fund is included in the aggregate figures disclosed.

BlackRock has a clear and well-defined pay-for-performance philosophy, and compensation programs which support that philosophy.

BlackRock operates a total compensation model for remuneration which includes a base salary, which is contractual, and a discretionary bonus scheme. Although all employees are eligible to receive a discretionary bonus, there is no contractual obligation to make a discretionary bonus award to any employees. For senior management, a significant percentage of variable remuneration is deferred over time. All employees are subject to a claw-back policy.

Remuneration decisions for employees are made once annually in January following the end of the performance year, based on BlackRock’s full-year financial results and other non-financial goals and objectives. Alongside financial performance, individual total compensation is also based on strategic and operating results and other considerations such as management and leadership capabilities. No set formulas are established and no fixed benchmarks are used in determining annual incentive awards.

Annual incentive awards are paid from a bonus pool which is reviewed throughout the year by BlackRock’s independent compensation committee, taking into account both actual and projected financial information together with information provided by the Enterprise Risk and Regulatory Compliance departments in relation to any activities, incidents or events that warrant consideration in making compensation decisions. Individuals are not involved in setting their own remuneration.

Each of the control functions (Enterprise Risk, Legal & Compliance, and Internal Audit) each have their own organizational structures which are independent of the business units. Functional bonus pools for those control functions are determined with reference to the performance of each individual function and the remuneration of the senior members of control functions is directly overseen by BlackRock’s independent compensation committee.

Members of staff and senior management of BFA typically provide both AIFMD and non-AIFMD related services in respect of multiple funds, clients and functions of BFA and across the broader BlackRock group. Therefore, the figures disclosed are a sum of each individual’s portion of remuneration attributable to the Fund according to an objective apportionment methodology which acknowledges the multiple-service nature of BFA. Accordingly the figures are not representative of any individual’s actual remuneration or their remuneration structure.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

iSHARES® TRUST

 

U.S. CREDIT BOND MARKET OVERVIEW

U.S. investment-grade, credit-sensitive bond performance was positive during the 12 months ended February 28, 2018 (“reporting period”). The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Credit Bond Index, a measure of U.S. dollar-denominated credit-sensitive bond performance, returned 2.12% for the reporting period, compared with the 0.51% return of the broad Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. Credit-sensitive bonds tend to react to changes in the economy or other factors that affect the issuer’s ability to meet its debt obligations.

The primary factors affecting bond market performance during the reporting period were a strengthening U.S. economy and federal tax reform. The final nine months of 2017 were the strongest three consecutive quarters of economic growth in more than 12 years. Key economic drivers included an increase in manufacturing activity and the lowest unemployment rate since December 2000.

In December 2017, the U.S. government passed federal tax reform legislation that included a steep reduction in corporate tax rates and a modest decrease in individual tax rates. The tax reform improved investors’ expectations for capital spending and economic growth, but it also raised concerns about federal budget deficits and higher inflation.

The annual consumer inflation rate remained near the 2% level targeted by the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank (“Fed”). However, signs of increasing inflation emerged late in the reporting period, including a sharp rise in energy prices and higher prices at the producer level. Inflation is typically measured in terms of both final (consumer) and intermediate (producer) goods; the Fed targets inflation in final goods.

In this environment, the Fed raised its short-term interest rate target three times during the reporting period to its highest level since October 2008. The Fed also began to reduce the amount of U.S. Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities on its balance sheet in October 2017. The interest rate increases and balance sheet reduction were part of the Fed’s plan to gradually reverse substantial economic stimulus measures, implemented in response to the 2008 credit crisis, and re-establish more normal monetary policy conditions.

A stronger economy, expectations of rising growth and inflation due to the tax cuts, and the Fed’s interest rate increases led to higher Treasury bond yields and lower bond prices, particularly in the latter half of the reporting period. However, credit-sensitive investment-grade bonds outperformed Treasury bonds as the difference in yield between credit-sensitive bonds and Treasury securities narrowed during the reporting period.

The performance of credit-sensitive bonds was a consequence of strong investor demand for yield. In particular, credit-sensitive bonds with lower credit ratings, which tend to have the highest yields, were the best performers for the reporting period, bolstered by the strong fundamentals of the domestic economy and a relatively low amount of defaults. Reflecting the Fed’s actions and investor demand, yields on short-term securities rose, while those on longer-term bonds were little changed. Consequently, the shortest-term credit-sensitive bonds posted modest gains, while intermediate- and longer-term securities generated stronger returns.

While overall issuance of corporate bonds hit a record high in 2017, net new corporate bond supply (which accounts for maturities and coupon payments of existing bonds) was lower than in either of the prior two years. In addition, federal tax reform made it less attractive for corporations to issue bonds and less costly to repatriate cash held overseas.

Among credit-sensitive bonds, U.S. corporate securities generated the best returns for the reporting period. U.S. dollar-denominated foreign bonds also advanced, helped by strong investor demand and healthy economic growth in emerging and developed markets.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (Continued)

iSHARES® 10+ YEAR CREDIT BOND ETF

 

The iShares 10+ Year Credit Bond ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of long-term, investment-grade U.S. corporate bonds and U.S. dollar-denominated bonds, including those of non-U.S. corporations and governments, with remaining maturities greater than ten years, as represented by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Long Credit Index (the “Index”). The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the Index that collectively has an investment profile similar to the Index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the Fund may or may not hold all of the securities that are included in the Index. For the 12-month reporting period ended February 28, 2018, the total return for the Fund was 4.65%, net of fees, while the total return for the Index was 4.75%.

About Fund Performance

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at www.ishares.com. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the redemption or sale of fund shares. The investment return and principal value of shares will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are redeemed or sold in the market. Performance for certain funds may reflect a waiver of a portion of investment advisory fees. Without such a waiver, performance would have been lower.

Net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of a fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such fund’s NAV is calculated. Certain funds may have a NAV which is determined prior to the opening of regular trading on its listed exchange and their market returns are calculated using the midpoint of the bid/ask spread as of the opening of regular trading on the exchange. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike a fund, an index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by a fund. These expenses negatively impact fund performance. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower.

Shareholder Expenses

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of fund shares and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses. The expense example, which is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on September 1, 2017 and held through February 28, 2018, is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

Actual Expenses — The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. Annualized expense ratios reflect contractual and voluntary fee waivers, if any. To estimate the expenses that you paid on your account over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The table also 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. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your 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 in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the hypothetical examples are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

iSHARES® 10+ YEAR CREDIT BOND ETF

 

iShares 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 Trust was established as a Delaware statutory trust pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated December 16, 1999.

These financial statements relate only to the following fund (the “Fund”):

 

iShares ETF   

Diversification

Classification

10+ Year Credit Bond

   Diversified

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of its underlying index. The investment adviser uses a “passive” or index approach to try to achieve the Fund’s investment objective.

Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Fund’s officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise 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.

 

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund is considered an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.

SECURITY VALUATION

The Fund’s investments are valued at fair value each day that the Fund’s listing exchange is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the Fund’s listing exchange is not open. U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (the “Global Valuation Committee”) provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Fund. The investments of the Fund are valued pursuant to policies and procedures developed by the Global Valuation Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”).

 

    Fixed income investments are valued using the last available bid price or current market quotations provided by dealers or prices (including evaluated prices) supplied by approved independent third-party pricing services. The pricing services may use matrix pricing or valuation models that utilize certain inputs and assumptions to derive values, including transaction data, credit quality information, perceived market movements, news, and other relevant information and by other methods, which may include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; general market conditions; and/or other factors and assumptions. Pricing services generally value fixed income securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in such securities in smaller odd lot sizes. Odd lots may trade at lower prices than institutional round lots.

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

iSHARES® 10+ YEAR CREDIT BOND ETF

 

    Open-end U.S. mutual funds (including money market funds) are valued at that day’s published net asset value (“NAV”).

In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the fair value of such investment or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued by the Global Valuation Committee, in accordance with policies approved by the Board. The fair valuation approaches that may be utilized by the Global Valuation Committee to determine fair value include market approach, income approach and the cost approach. The valuation techniques used under these approaches take into consideration inputs that include but are not limited to (i) attributes specific to the investment; (ii) the principal market for the investment; (iii) the customary participants in the principal market for the investment; (iv) data assumptions by market participants for the investment, if reasonably available; (v) quoted prices for similar investments in active markets; and (vi) other inputs, such as future cash flows, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and/or default rates. Valuations based on such inputs are reported to the Board on a quarterly basis.

The Global Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating valuation approaches for investments where an active market does not exist, including regular due diligence of the Trust’s pricing vendors, a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing or stale prices, reviews of large movements in market values, and reviews of market related activity.

Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate the Fund’s NAV and the prices used by the Fund’s underlying index, which in turn could result in a difference between the Fund’s performance and the performance of the Fund’s underlying index.

Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of financial instruments. Inputs may be based on independent market data (“observable inputs”) or they may be internally developed (“unobservable inputs”). These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial reporting purposes as follows:

 

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

 

    Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and

 

    Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, including the Global Valuation Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments.

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgement exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The fair value hierarchy for the Fund’s investments is included in its schedule of investments.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the fair value hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of values determined for financial instruments are based on the pricing

transparency of the financial instruments and are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, and payment-in-kind interest income, if any, are recognized daily on the accrual basis. Dividend income and capital gain distributions, if any, are recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dividends and distributions paid by the Fund are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Dividends and distributions are paid in U.S. dollars and cannot be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Fund.

LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

The Fund may lend its investment securities to approved borrowers, such as brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges and maintains with the Fund collateral consisting of cash, an irrevocable letter of credit issued by an approved bank, or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government. The initial collateral received by the Fund is required to have a value of at least 102% of the current value of the loaned securities for securities traded on U.S. exchanges and a value of at least 105% for all other securities. The collateral is maintained thereafter at a value equal to at least 100% of the current value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day of the Fund. Any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund and any excess collateral is returned by the Fund on the next business day. During the term of the loan, the Fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities but does not receive interest income on securities received as collateral. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.

Cash received as collateral for securities on loan may be reinvested in certain short-term instruments either directly on behalf of a fund or through one or more joint accounts or money market funds, including those managed by BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BFA”), the Fund’s investment adviser, or its affiliates. As of February 28, 2018, any securities on loan were collateralized by cash and/or U.S. government obligations. Cash collateral received was invested in money market funds managed by BFA and is disclosed in the schedule of investments. Any non-cash collateral received cannot be sold, re-invested or pledged by the Fund, except in the event of borrower default. The securities on loan for the Fund are also disclosed in its schedule of investments. The total value of any securities on loan as of February 28, 2018 and the total value of the related cash collateral are disclosed in the statement of assets and liabilities. Income earned by the Fund from securities lending is disclosed in the statement of operations.

The risks of securities lending include the risk that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due. To mitigate these risks, the Fund benefits from a borrower default indemnity provided by BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). BlackRock’s indemnity allows for full replacement of securities loaned if the collateral received does not cover the value of the securities loaned in the event of borrower default. The Fund could incur a loss if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the loaned securities or if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the original cash collateral received.

Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Fund under Master Securities Lending Agreements (“MSLA”) which provide the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency) for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral

and calculate a net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. In the event that a borrower defaults, the Fund, as lender, would offset the market value of the collateral received against the market value of the securities loaned. The value of the collateral is typically greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, leaving the lender with a net amount payable to the defaulting party. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of an MSLA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Under the MSLA, the borrower can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities, and the Fund can reinvest cash collateral, or, upon an event of default, resell or re-pledge the collateral.

The following table is a summary of securities lending agreements which are subject to offset under an MSLA as of February 28, 2018:

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARD

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update “Premium Amortization on Purchase Callable Debt Securities” which amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities. Under the new guidance, premium amortization of purchased callable debt securities that have explicit, non-contingent call features and are callable at fixed prices will be amortized to the earliest call date. The guidance will be applied on a modified retrospective basis and is effective for fiscal years, and their interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance to the Fund.

2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Trust, BFA manages the investment of the Fund’s assets. BFA is a California corporation indirectly owned by BlackRock. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, BFA is responsible for substantially all expenses of the Fund, except (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with the execution of portfolio transactions; (iii) distribution fees; (iv) the advisory fee payable to BFA; and (v) litigation expenses and any extraordinary expenses (in each case as determined by a majority of the independent trustees).

For its investment advisory services to the Fund, BFA is entitled to an annual investment advisory fee of 0.20%, accrued daily and paid monthly by the Fund, based on the average daily net assets of the Fund.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has issued an exemptive order which permits BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, N.A. (“BTC”), an affiliate of BFA, to serve as securities lending agent for the Fund, subject to applicable conditions. As securities lending agent, BTC bears all operational costs directly related to securities lending. The Fund is responsible for fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral received for securities on loan in a money market fund managed by BFA, however, BTC has agreed to reduce the amount of securities lending income it receives in order to effectively limit the collateral investment fees the Fund bears to an annual rate of 0.04% (the “collateral investment fees”). Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral (excluding collateral investment fees), net of fees and other payments to and from borrowers of securities. The Fund retains a portion of securities lending income and remits the remaining portion to BTC as compensation for its services as securities lending agent.

Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, the Fund retains 80% of securities lending income and the amount retained can never be less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees. In addition, commencing the business day following the date that the aggregate securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees generated across all 1940 Act iShares exchange-traded funds (the “iShares ETF Complex”) in a given calendar year exceeds the aggregate securities lending income generated across the iShares ETF Complex in the calendar year 2013, the Fund, pursuant to a securities lending agreement, will retain for the remainder of that calendar year 85% of securities lending income and the amount retained can never be less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees.

For the year ended February 28, 2018, the Fund paid to BTC securities lending agent services and collateral investment fees in the amount of $76,394.

BlackRock Investments, LLC, an affiliate of BFA, is the distributor for the Fund. Pursuant to the distribution agreement, BFA is responsible for any fees or expenses for distribution services provided to the Fund.

Cross trading is the buying or selling of portfolio securities between funds to which BFA (or an affiliate) serves as investment adviser. At its regularly scheduled quarterly meetings, the Board reviews such transactions as of the most recent calendar quarter for compliance with the requirements and restrictions set forth by Rule 17a-7.

For the year ended February 28, 2018, the purchases and sales transactions executed by the Fund pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act were $895,642 and $935,700, respectively.

The Fund may invest its positive cash balances in certain money market funds managed by BFA or an affiliate. The income earned on these temporary cash investments is included in “Dividends – affiliated” in the statement of operations.

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is the largest stockholder of BlackRock and is considered to be an affiliate of the Fund for 1940 Act purposes.

Certain trustees and officers of the Trust are also officers of BTC and/or BFA.

 

3. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of investments (excluding in-kind transactions and short-term investments) for the year ended February 28, 2018 were as follows:

 

U.S. Government Obligations

     Other Securities  
Purchases    Sales      Purchases      Sales  
$1,002,072      $989,568        $95,561,226        $95,881,986  

In-kind purchases and sales (see Note 4) for the year ended February 28, 2018, were $134,679,151 and $248,268,173, respectively.

 

4. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

Capital shares are issued and redeemed by the Fund only in aggregations of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”) at NAV. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of the Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for the Fund are disclosed in detail in the statements of changes in net assets.

The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a fund in the Trust generally consists of the in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of securities and a specified amount of cash. Certain funds in the Trust may be offered in Creation Units solely or partially for cash in U.S. dollars. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s administrator, to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units, including Creation Units for cash. Investors transacting in Creation Units for cash may also pay an additional variable charge to compensate the relevant fund for certain transaction costs (i.e., stamp taxes, taxes on currency or other financial transactions, and brokerage costs) and market impact expenses relating to investing in portfolio securities. Such variable charges, if any, are included in “Proceeds from shares sold” in the statement of changes in net assets.

 

5. PRINCIPAL RISKS

In the normal course of business, the Fund invests in securities or other instruments and may enter into certain transactions, and such activities subject the Fund to various risks, including, among others, fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of an issuer to meet all of its obligations. The value of securities or other instruments may also be affected by various factors, including, without limitation: (i) the general economy; (ii) the overall market as well as local, regional or global political and/or social instability; (iii) regulation, taxation or international tax treaties between various countries; or (iv) currency, interest rate or price fluctuations. The Fund’s prospectus provides details of the risks to which the Fund is subject.

BFA uses a “passive” or index approach to try to achieve the Fund’s investment objective following the securities included in its underlying index during upturns as well as downturns. BFA does not take steps to reduce market exposure or to lessen the effects of a declining market. Divergence from the underlying index and the composition of the portfolio is monitored by BFA.

MARKET RISK

Market risk arises mainly from uncertainty about future values of financial instruments influenced by price, currency and interest rate movements. It represents the potential loss a fund may suffer through holding market positions in the face of market

 

50    2018 iSHARES ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

iSHARES® 10+ YEAR CREDIT BOND ETF

 

movements. A fund is exposed to market risk by its investment in equity, fixed income and/or financial derivative instruments or by its investment in underlying funds. The fair value of securities held by a fund may decline due to general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuers of the securities including local, regional or global political, social or economic instability or to factors that affect a particular industry or group of industries. The extent of a fund’s exposure to market risk is the market value of the investments held as shown in the fund’s schedule of investments.

A diversified portfolio, where this is appropriate and consistent with a fund’s objectives, minimizes the risk that a price change of a particular investment will have a material impact on the NAV of a fund. The investment concentrations within the Fund’s portfolio are disclosed in its schedule of investments.

Investing in the securities of non-U.S. issuers involves certain considerations and risks not typically associated with securities of U.S. issuers. Such risks include, but are not limited to: differences in accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards; more substantial governmental involvement in the economy; higher inflation rates, greater social, economic and political uncertainties; possible nationalization or expropriation of assets; less availability of public information about issuers; imposition of withholding or other taxes; higher transaction and custody costs and delays in settlement procedures; and lower level of regulation of the securities markets and issuers. Non-U.S. securities may be less liquid, more difficult to value, and have greater price volatility due to exchange rate fluctuations. These and other risks are heightened for investments in issuers from countries with less developed capital markets.

Changes in market interest rates or economic conditions may affect the value and/or liquidity of fixed income investments. Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of bonds and other fixed-income securities will decrease as interest rates rise and increase as interest rates fall. Securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes, usually making their prices more volatile than those of securities with shorter durations. Given the environment of historically low interest rates, a fund may be subject to a greater risk of price losses if interest rates rise.

CREDIT RISK

Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or guarantor of debt instruments or the counterparty to a financial transaction, including derivatives contracts, repurchase agreements or loans of portfolio securities, is unable or unwilling to make timely interest and/or principal payments or to otherwise honor its obligations. BFA and its affiliates manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose a fund to issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of a fund’s exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to those financial assets is approximated by their value recorded in its statement of assets and liabilities.

 

6. INCOME TAX INFORMATION

The Fund is treated as an entity separate from the Trust’s other funds for federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of the Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions applicable to regulated investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to annually distribute substantially all of its ordinary income and any net capital gains (taking into account any capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income and excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required.

U.S. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share. The following permanent differences as of

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended February 28, 2018 and February 28, 2017 was as follows:

 

      2018      2017  

Ordinary income

   $ 32,962,172      $ 38,936,880  
  

 

 

    

 

 

 
                   

As of February 28, 2018, the tax components of accumulated net earnings (losses) were as follows:

$2,575,074        $(11,026,354)          $(13,545,783)          $(21,997,063)  

 

  a    The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) was attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

As of February 28, 2018, the Fund had non-expiring capital loss carryforwards in the amount of $11,026,354 available to offset future realized capital gains.

For the year ended February 28, 2018, the Fund utilized $603,250 of its capital loss carryforwards.

As of February 28, 2018, the cost of investments (including short positions and derivatives, if any) for federal income tax purposes was $802,605,275. Net unrealized depreciation was $13,545,783, of which $7,184,501 represented gross unrealized appreciation on securities and 20,730,284 represented gross unrealized depreciation on securities.

Management has analyzed tax laws and regulations and their application to the Fund as of February 28, 2018, inclusive of the open tax return years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability in the Fund’s financial statements.

 

7. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On June 16, 2016, investors (the “Plaintiffs”) in certain iShares funds (iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF, iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF, iShares Core S&P 500 ETF, iShares Russell Mid-Cap Growth ETF, iShares Russell Mid-Cap ETF, iShares Russell Mid-Cap Value ETF, iShares Select Dividend ETF, iShares Morningstar Mid-Cap ETF, iShares Morningstar Large-Cap ETF, iShares U.S. Aerospace & Defense ETF and iShares U.S. Preferred Stock ETF) filed a putative class action lawsuit against iShares Trust, BlackRock, Inc. and certain of its advisory affiliates, and certain directors/trustees and officers of the Funds (collectively, “Defendants”) in California State Court. The lawsuit alleges the Defendants violated federal securities laws by failing to adequately disclose in the prospectuses issued by the funds noted above the risks of using stop-loss orders in the event of a ‘flash crash’, such as the one that occurred on May 6, 2010. On September 18, 2017, the court issued a Statement of Decision

holding that the Plaintiffs lack standing to assert their claims. On October 11, 2017, the court entered final judgment dismissing all of the Plaintiffs’ claims with prejudice. Plaintiffs have appealed the court’s decision.

 

8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund through the date the financial statements were available to be issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Trustees of iShares Trust and Shareholders of

iShares 10+ Year Credit Bond ETF

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of iShares 10+ Year Credit Bond ETF (one of the funds constituting iShares Trust, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of February 28, 2018, the related statement of operations for the year ended February 28, 2018, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended February 28, 2018, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended February 28, 2018 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of February 28, 2018, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended February 28, 2018 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended February 28, 2018 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of February 28, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent 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.

Premium/Discount Information

The Premium/Discount Information section is intended to present information about the differences between the daily market price on secondary markets for shares of a fund and that fund’s NAV. NAV is the price at which a fund issues and redeems shares. It is calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The “Market Price” of a fund generally is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest ask on the primary securities exchange on which shares of such fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the fund’s NAV is calculated. A fund’s Market Price may be at, above or below its NAV. The NAV of a fund will fluctuate with changes in the value of its portfolio holdings. The Market Price of a fund will fluctuate in accordance with changes in its NAV, as well as market supply and demand.

Premiums or discounts are the differences (expressed as a percentage) between the NAV and Market Price of a fund on a given day, generally at the time the NAV is calculated. A premium is the amount that a fund is trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. A discount is the amount that a fund is trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

iSHARES® TRUST

 

U.S. BOND MARKET OVERVIEW

The U.S. bond market rose modestly during the 12 months ended February 28, 2018 (“reporting period”). The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, a broad measure of U.S. bond performance, returned 0.51% for the reporting period.

The primary factors affecting bond market performance during the reporting period were a strengthening U.S. economy and federal tax reform. The final nine months of 2017 were the strongest three consecutive quarters of economic growth in more than 12 years. Key economic drivers included an increase in manufacturing activity and the lowest unemployment rate since December 2000.

In December 2017, the U.S. government passed federal tax reform legislation that included a steep reduction in corporate tax rates and a modest decrease in individual tax rates. The tax reform improved investors’ expectations for capital spending and economic growth, but it also raised concerns about federal budget deficits and higher inflation.

The annual consumer inflation rate remained near the 2% level targeted by the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank (“Fed”). However, signs of increasing inflation emerged late in the reporting period, including a sharp rise in energy prices and higher prices at the producer level. Inflation is typically measured in terms of both final (consumer) and intermediate (producer) goods; the Fed targets inflation in final goods.

In this environment, the Fed raised its short-term interest rate target three times during the reporting period to its highest level since October 2008. The Fed also began to reduce the amount of U.S. Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities on its balance sheet in October 2017. The interest rate increases and balance sheet reduction were part of the Fed’s plan to gradually reverse substantial economic stimulus measures, implemented in response to the 2008 credit crisis, and re-establish more normal monetary policy conditions.

A stronger economy, expectations of rising growth and inflation due to the tax cuts, and the Fed’s interest rate increases led to higher bond yields and lower bond prices, with yields rising most sharply for short-term bonds. Intermediate- and long-term bond yields rose to a lesser extent, with much of the increase occurring in early 2018 following the approval of federal tax reform legislation at the end of 2017.

Corporate bonds were among the better performers in the U.S. bond market during the reporting period, returning more than 2%. Corporate bonds benefited from strong investor demand for yield. Demand was especially robust for lower-quality bonds, which tend to have the highest yields. Limited new supply also supported corporate bond performance. Although overall issuance of corporate bonds hit a record high in 2017, net new corporate bond supply was lower than in either of the prior two years.

Mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) posted modestly positive returns for the reporting period. Rising interest rates and concerns about the Fed’s plan to reduce the amount of MBS on its balance sheet held the sector in check. Commercial MBS outperformed residential MBS for the reporting period.

Both U.S. Treasury and government agency securities underperformed other sectors of the U.S. bond market. U.S. Treasury securities, which tend be the most sensitive to interest rate fluctuations, declined marginally for the reporting period due to the impact of higher bond yields. Government agency securities, which have higher yields relative to Treasury bonds, posted a modest positive return for the reporting period.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (Continued)

iSHARES® MBS ETF

 

The iShares MBS ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of investment-grade mortgage-backed pass-through securities issued and/ or guaranteed by U.S. government agencies, as represented by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. MBS Index (the “Index”). The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the Index that collectively has an investment profile similar to the Index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the Fund may or may not hold all of the securities that are included in the Index. For the 12-month reporting period ended February 28, 2018, the total return for the Fund was -0.01%, net of fees, while the total return for the Index was 0.16%.

About Fund Performance

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at www.ishares.com. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the redemption or sale of fund shares. The investment return and principal value of shares will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are redeemed or sold in the market. Performance for certain funds may reflect a waiver of a portion of investment advisory fees. Without such a waiver, performance would have been lower.

Net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of a fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such fund’s NAV is calculated. Certain funds may have a NAV which is determined prior to the opening of regular trading on its listed exchange and their market returns are calculated using the midpoint of the bid/ask spread as of the opening of regular trading on the exchange. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike a fund, an index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by a fund. These expenses negatively impact fund performance. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower.

Shareholder Expenses

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of fund shares and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses. The expense example, which is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on September 1, 2017 and held through February 28, 2018, is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

Actual Expenses — The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. Annualized expense ratios reflect contractual and voluntary fee waivers, if any. To estimate the expenses that you paid on your account over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number corresponding to your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your 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 in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the hypothetical examples are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

iSHARES® TRUST

 

iShares 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 Trust was established as a Delaware statutory trust pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated December 16, 1999.

These financial statements relate only to the following funds (each, a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”):

 

iShares ETF  

Diversification

Classification

Intermediate Government/Credit Bond

  Diversified

Government/Credit Bond

  Diversified

Agency Bond

  Diversified

MBS

  Diversified

The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of its underlying index. The investment adviser uses a “passive” or index approach to try to achieve each Fund’s investment objective.

Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Funds’ officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise 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.

 

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Fund is considered an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.

SECURITY VALUATION

Each Fund’s investments are valued at fair value each day that the Fund’s listing exchange is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the Fund’s listing exchange is not open. U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (the “Global Valuation Committee”) provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Funds. The investments of each Fund are valued pursuant to policies and procedures developed by the Global Valuation Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”).

 

   

Fixed income investments are valued using the last available bid price or current market quotations provided by dealers or prices (including evaluated prices) supplied by approved independent third-party pricing services. The pricing services may use matrix pricing or valuation models that utilize certain inputs and assumptions to derive values, including transaction data, credit quality information, perceived market movements, news, and other relevant information and by other methods,

which may include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; general market conditions; and/or other factors and assumptions. Pricing services generally value fixed income securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in such securities in smaller odd lot sizes. Odd lots may trade at lower prices than institutional round lots.

 

    Open-end U.S. mutual funds (including money market funds) are valued at that day’s published net asset value (“NAV”).

In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the fair value of such investment or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued by the Global Valuation Committee, in accordance with policies approved by the Board. The fair valuation approaches that may be utilized by the Global Valuation Committee to determine fair value include market approach, income approach and the cost approach. The valuation techniques used under these approaches take into consideration inputs that include but are not limited to (i) attributes specific to the investment; (ii) the principal market for the investment; (iii) the customary participants in the principal market for the investment; (iv) data assumptions by market participants for the investment, if reasonably available; (v) quoted prices for similar investments in active markets; and (vi) other inputs, such as future cash flows, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and/or default rates. Valuations based on such inputs are reported to the Board on a quarterly basis.

The Global Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating valuation approaches for investments where an active market does not exist, including regular due diligence of the Trust’s pricing vendors, a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing or stale prices, reviews of large movements in market values, and reviews of market related activity.

Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund’s NAV and the prices used by the Fund’s underlying index, which in turn could result in a difference between the Fund’s performance and the performance of the Fund’s underlying index.

Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of financial instruments. Inputs may be based on independent market data (“observable inputs”) or they may be internally developed (“unobservable inputs”). These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial reporting purposes as follows:

 

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

 

    Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and

 

    Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, including the Global Valuation Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments.

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgement exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is

determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The fair value hierarchy for each Fund’s investments is included in its schedule of investments.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the fair value hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of values determined for financial instruments are based on the pricing transparency of the financial instruments and are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, and payment-in-kind interest income, if any are recognized daily on the accrual basis. Dividend income and capital gain distributions, if any, are recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source.

WHEN-ISSUED/TBA TRANSACTIONS

The iShares MBS ETF may purchase mortgage pass-through securities on a when-issued or to-be-announced (“TBA”) basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. The Fund may enter into a TBA agreement, sell the obligation to purchase the pools stipulated in the TBA agreement prior to the stipulated settlement date and enter into a new TBA agreement for future delivery of pools of mortgage pass-through securities (a “TBA roll”). A TBA roll is treated by the Fund as a purchase transaction and a sale transaction in which the Fund realizes a gain or loss. The Fund’s use of TBA rolls may cause the Fund to experience higher portfolio turnover and higher transaction costs. The Fund could be exposed to possible risk if there are adverse market actions, expenses or delays in connection with the TBA transactions, or if the counterparty fails to complete the transaction.

To mitigate counterparty risk, the Fund has entered into a two-way collateral agreement for TBA transactions with certain counterparties. Under such agreement, the “in-the-money” party of a TBA transaction may at any time require the other party to pledge collateral assets (in the form of cash or securities) to offset any loss the in-the-money party would incur upon cancellation of the TBA transaction. A party is in-the-money if they are the buyer and the market value of the TBA transaction increases or if they are the seller and the market value of the TBA transaction decreases. Cash received as collateral from the counterparty may be reinvested in money market funds, including those managed by the Fund’s investment adviser, or its affiliates. Such collateral, if any, is presented in the statement of assets and liabilities as “Investments in securities – affiliated” and “Payable due to broker for TBA collateral.” Securities pledged as collateral by the Fund, if any, are noted in the schedule of investments.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dividends and distributions paid by each Fund are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Dividends and distributions are paid in U.S. dollars and cannot be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Funds.

LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

Each Fund may lend its investment securities to approved borrowers, such as brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges and maintains with the Fund collateral consisting of cash, an irrevocable letter of credit issued by an approved bank, or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government. The initial collateral received by each Fund is required to have a value of at least 102% of the current value of the loaned securities for securities traded on U.S. exchanges and

 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     135

iSHARES® TRUST

 

a value of at least 105% for all other securities. The collateral is maintained thereafter at a value equal to at least 100% of the current value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day of the Funds. Any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds and any excess collateral is returned by the Funds on the next business day. During the term of the loan, each Fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities but does not receive interest income on securities received as collateral. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.

Cash received as collateral for securities on loan may be reinvested in certain short-term instruments either directly on behalf of a fund or through one or more joint accounts or money market funds, including those managed by BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BFA”), the Funds’ investment adviser, or its affiliates. As of February 28, 2018, any securities on loan were collateralized by cash and/or U.S. government obligations. Cash collateral received was invested in money market funds managed by BFA and is disclosed in the schedules of investments. Any non-cash collateral received cannot be sold, re-invested or pledged by the Fund, except in the event of borrower default. The securities on loan for each Fund are also disclosed in its schedule of investments. The total value of any securities on loan as of February 28, 2018 and the total value of the related cash collateral are disclosed in the statements of assets and liabilities. Income earned by the Funds from securities lending is disclosed in the statements of operations.

The risks of securities lending include the risk that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due. To mitigate these risks, the Funds benefit from a borrower default indemnity provided by BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). BlackRock’s indemnity allows for full replacement of securities loaned if the collateral received does not cover the value of the securities loaned in the event of borrower default. Each Fund could incur a loss if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the loaned securities or if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the original cash collateral received.

Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Funds under Master Securities Lending Agreements (“MSLA”) which provide the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency) for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate a net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. In the event that a borrower defaults, a Fund, as lender, would offset the market value of the collateral received against the market value of the securities loaned. The value of the collateral is typically greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, leaving the lender with a net amount payable to the defaulting party. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of an MSLA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Under the MSLA, the borrower can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities, and a Fund can reinvest cash collateral, or, upon an event of default, resell or re-pledge the collateral.

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARD

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update “Premium Amortization on Purchase Callable Debt Securities” which amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities. Under the new guidance, premium amortization of purchased callable debt securities that have explicit, non-contingent call features and are callable at fixed prices will be amortized to the earliest call date. The guidance will be applied on a modified retrospective basis and is effective for fiscal years, and their interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance to the Funds.

 

2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Trust, BFA manages the investment of each Fund’s assets. BFA is a California corporation indirectly owned by BlackRock. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, BFA is responsible for substantially all expenses of the Funds, except (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with the execution of portfolio transactions; (iii) distribution fees; (iv) the advisory fee payable to BFA; and (v) litigation expenses and any extraordinary expenses (in each case as determined by a majority of the independent trustees).

Effective July 13, 2017, for its investment advisory services to the iShares MBS ETF, BFA is entitled to an annual investment advisory fee, accrued daily and paid monthly by the Fund, based on the Fund’s allocable portion of the aggregate of the average daily net assets of the Fund and certain other iShares funds, as follows:

 

Investment Advisory Fee   Aggregate Average Daily Net Assets
    0.0900 %

  a    Investment advisory fee level reflects a 5% reduction (rounded to the fourth decimal place) from the investment advisory fee at the prior aggregate average daily net asset level.

Prior to July 13, 2017, for its investment advisory services to the iShares MBS ETF, BFA was entitled to an annual investment advisory fee, accrued daily and paid monthly by the Fund, based on the Fund’s allocable portion of the aggregate of the average daily net assets of the Fund and certain other iShares funds, as follows:

 

Investment Advisory Fee   Aggregate Average Daily Net Assets
    0.2500 %

    0.2037 a  

Over $281 billion

 

  a    Investment advisory fee level reflects a 5% reduction (rounded to the fourth decimal place) from the investment advisory fee at the prior aggregate average daily net asset level.

In addition, the iShares MBS ETF may incur its pro rata share of fees and expenses attributable to its investments in other investment companies (“acquired fund fees and expenses”). The total of the investment advisory fee and acquired fund fees and expenses are the Fund’s total annual operating expenses. Effective July 13, 2017, BFA has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its investment advisory fees for the Fund through February 28, 2023 in order to limit total annual operating expenses after fee waiver to 0.09% of average daily net assets.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has issued an exemptive order which permits BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, N.A. (“BTC”), an affiliate of BFA, to serve as securities lending agent for the Funds, subject to applicable conditions. As securities lending agent, BTC bears all operational costs directly related to securities lending. Each Fund is responsible for fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral received for securities on loan in a money market fund managed by BFA, however, BTC has agreed to reduce the amount of securities lending income it receives in order to effectively limit the collateral

investment fees each Fund bears to an annual rate of 0.04% (the “collateral investment fees”). Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral (excluding collateral investment fees), net of fees and other payments to and from borrowers of securities. The Funds retain a portion of securities lending income and remit the remaining portion to BTC as compensation for its services as securities lending agent.

Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, each Fund retains 80% of securities lending income and the amount retained can never be less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees. In addition, commencing the business day following the date that the aggregate securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees generated across all 1940 Act iShares exchange-traded funds (the “iShares ETF Complex”) in a given calendar year exceeds the aggregate securities lending income generated across the iShares ETF Complex in the calendar year 2013, each Fund, pursuant to a securities lending agreement, will retain for the remainder of that calendar year 85% of securities lending income and the amount retained can never be less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees.

For the year ended February 28, 2018, the total of securities lending agent services and collateral investment fees paid were as follows:

BlackRock Investments, LLC, an affiliate of BFA, is the distributor for each Fund. Pursuant to the distribution agreement, BFA is responsible for any fees or expenses for distribution services provided to the Funds.

Cross trading is the buying or selling of portfolio securities between funds to which BFA (or an affiliate) serves as investment adviser. At its regularly scheduled quarterly meetings, the Board reviews such transactions as of the most recent calendar quarter for compliance with the requirements and restrictions set forth by Rule 17a-7.

For the year ended February 28, 2018, transactions executed by the Funds pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act were as follows:

4. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

Capital shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in aggregations of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”) at NAV. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the statements of changes in net assets.

The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a fund in the Trust generally consists of the in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of securities and a specified amount of cash. Certain funds in the Trust may be offered in Creation Units solely or partially for cash in U.S. dollars. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s administrator, to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units, including Creation Units for cash. Investors transacting in Creation Units for cash may also pay an additional variable charge to compensate the relevant fund for certain transaction costs (i.e., stamp taxes, taxes on currency or other financial transactions, and brokerage costs) and market impact expenses relating to investing in portfolio securities. Such variable charges, if any, are included in “Proceeds from shares sold” in the statements of changes in net assets.

From time to time, settlement of securities related to in-kind contributions or in-kind redemptions may be delayed. In such cases, securities related to in-kind contributions are reflected as “Due from custodian” and securities related to in-kind redemptions are reflected as “Securities related to in-kind transactions” in the statements of assets and liabilities.

 

5. PRINCIPAL RISKS

In the normal course of business, each Fund invests in securities or other instruments and may enter into certain transactions, and such activities subject the Fund to various risks, including, among others, fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of an issuer to meet all of its obligations. The value of securities or other instruments may also be affected by various factors, including, without limitation: (i) the general economy; (ii) the overall market as well as local, regional or global political and/or

 

140    2018 iSHARES ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

iSHARES® TRUST

 

social instability; (iii) regulation, taxation or international tax treaties between various countries; or (iv) currency, interest rate or price fluctuations. Each Fund’s prospectus provides details of the risks to which the Fund is subject.

BFA uses a “passive” or index approach to try to achieve each Fund’s investment objective following the securities included in its underlying index during upturns as well as downturns. BFA does not take steps to reduce market exposure or to lessen the effects of a declining market. Divergence from the underlying index and the composition of the portfolio is monitored by BFA.

MARKET RISK

Market risk arises mainly from uncertainty about future values of financial instruments influenced by price, currency and interest rate movements. It represents the potential loss a fund may suffer through holding market positions in the face of market movements. A fund is exposed to market risk by its investment in equity, fixed income and/or financial derivative instruments or by its investment in underlying funds. The fair value of securities held by a fund may decline due to general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuers of the securities including local, regional or global political, social or economic instability or to factors that affect a particular industry or group of industries. The extent of a fund’s exposure to market risk is the market value of the investments held as shown in the fund’s schedule of investments.

A diversified portfolio, where this is appropriate and consistent with a fund’s objectives, minimizes the risk that a price change of a particular investment will have a material impact on the NAV of a fund. The investment concentrations within each Fund’s portfolio are disclosed in its schedule of investments.

Investing in the securities of non-U.S. issuers involves certain considerations and risks not typically associated with securities of U.S. issuers. Such risks include, but are not limited to: differences in accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards; more substantial governmental involvement in the economy; higher inflation rates, greater social, economic and political uncertainties; possible nationalization or expropriation of assets; less availability of public information about issuers; imposition of withholding or other taxes; higher transaction and custody costs and delays in settlement procedures; and lower level of regulation of the securities markets and issuers. Non-U.S. securities may be less liquid, more difficult to value, and have greater price volatility due to exchange rate fluctuations. These and other risks are heightened for investments in issuers from countries with less developed capital markets.

The economies and markets of European countries are often closely connected and interdependent, and events in one country in Europe can have an adverse impact on other European countries. The European financial markets have experienced volatility and adverse trends in recent years due to concerns about economic downturns or rising government debt levels in several European countries. These events have adversely affected the exchange rate of the euro and may continue to significantly affect European countries. The occurrence of terrorist incidents throughout Europe also could impact financial markets. In addition, the United Kingdom has voted to withdraw from the European Union. The referendum may introduce significant new uncertainties and instability in the financial markets as the United Kingdom negotiates its exit from the European Union.

Changes in market interest rates or economic conditions may affect the value and/or liquidity of fixed income investments. Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of bonds and other fixed-income securities will decrease as interest rates rise and increase as interest rates fall. Securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes, usually making their prices more volatile than those of securities with shorter durations. Given the environment of historically low interest rates, a fund may be subject to a greater risk of price losses if interest rates rise.

When a fund concentrates its investments in mortgage-backed securities, it assumes a greater risk of prepayment or payment extension by securities issuers, which may have a significant impact on its investment performance.

CREDIT RISK

Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or guarantor of debt instruments or the counterparty to a financial transaction, including derivatives contracts, repurchase agreements or loans of portfolio securities, is unable or unwilling to make timely interest and/or principal payments or to otherwise honor its obligations. BFA and its affiliates manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose a fund to issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of a fund’s exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to those financial assets is approximated by their value recorded in its statement of assets and liabilities.

 

6. INCOME TAX INFORMATION

Each Fund is treated as an entity separate from the Trust’s other funds for federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of each Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions applicable to regulated investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to annually distribute substantially all of its ordinary income and any net capital gains (taking into account any capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income and excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required.

U.S. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share. The following permanent differences as of February 28, 2018, attributable to the expiration of capital loss carryforwards and realized gains (losses) from in-kind redemptions, were reclassified to the following accounts:

7. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On June 16, 2016, investors (the “Plaintiffs”) in certain iShares funds (iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF, iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF, iShares Core S&P 500 ETF, iShares Russell Mid-Cap Growth ETF, iShares Russell Mid-Cap ETF, iShares Russell Mid-Cap Value ETF, iShares Select Dividend ETF, iShares Morningstar Mid-Cap ETF, iShares Morningstar Large-Cap ETF, iShares U.S. Aerospace & Defense ETF and iShares U.S. Preferred Stock ETF) filed a putative class action lawsuit against iShares Trust, BlackRock, Inc. and certain of its advisory affiliates, and certain directors/trustees and officers of the Funds (collectively, “Defendants”) in California State Court. The lawsuit alleges the Defendants violated federal securities laws by failing to adequately disclose in the prospectuses issued by the funds noted above the risks of using stop-loss orders in the event of a ‘flash crash’, such as the one that occurred on May 6, 2010. On September 18, 2017, the court issued a Statement of Decision holding that the Plaintiffs lack standing to assert their claims. On October 11, 2017, the court entered final judgment dismissing all of the Plaintiffs’ claims with prejudice. Plaintiffs have appealed the court’s decision.

 

8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds through the date the financial statements were available to be issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Trustees of iShares Trust and

Shareholders of iShares Intermediate Government/Credit Bond ETF,

iShares Government/Credit Bond ETF, iShares Agency Bond ETF and iShares MBS ETF

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of iShares Intermediate Government/Credit Bond ETF, iShares Government/Credit Bond ETF, iShares Agency Bond ETF and iShares MBS ETF (four of the funds constituting iShares Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of February 28, 2018, the related statements of operations for the year ended February 28, 2018, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended February 28, 2018, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended February 28, 2018 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of February 28, 2018, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended February 28, 2018 and each of the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended February 28, 2018 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of February 28, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent 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 opinions.

Premium/Discount Information

The Premium/Discount Information section is intended to present information about the differences between the daily market price on secondary markets for shares of a fund and that fund’s NAV. NAV is the price at which a fund issues and redeems shares. It is calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The “Market Price” of a fund generally is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest ask on the primary securities exchange on which shares of such fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the fund’s NAV is calculated. A fund’s Market Price may be at, above or below its NAV. The NAV of a fund will fluctuate with changes in the value of its portfolio holdings. The Market Price of a fund will fluctuate in accordance with changes in its NAV, as well as market supply and demand.

Premiums or discounts are the differences (expressed as a percentage) between the NAV and Market Price of a fund on a given day, generally at the time the NAV is calculated. A premium is the amount that a fund is trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. A discount is the amount that a fund is trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV.

Premium/discount information for the Funds covering the most recently completed calendar year and the most recently completed calendar quarters since that year (or the life of the Fund, if shorter) is publicly accessible, free of charge, at www.iShares.com.

The following information shows the frequency of distributions of premiums and discounts for the Funds for the immediately preceding five calendar years (or from the inception date of the Fund, if less than five years) through the date of the most recent calendar quarter-end. Each line in each table shows the number of trading days in which the Fund traded within the premium/discount range indicated. The number of trading days in each premium/discount range is also shown as a percentage of the total number of trading days in the period covered by each table. All data presented here represents past performance, which cannot be used to predict future results.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

iSHARES® TRUST

 

U.S. CORPORATE BOND MARKET OVERVIEW

U.S. corporate bond performance was positive during the 12 months ended February 28, 2018 (“reporting period”). The Markit iBoxx® USD Liquid Investment Grade and High Yield Indexes, broad measures of U.S. dollar-denominated investment-grade and high-yield corporate bond performance, returned 2.22% and 3.13%, respectively, for the reporting period.

The primary factors affecting bond market performance during the reporting period were a strengthening U.S. economy and federal tax reform. The final nine months of 2017 were the strongest three consecutive quarters of economic growth in more than 12 years. Key economic drivers included an increase in manufacturing activity and the lowest unemployment rate since December 2000.

In December 2017, the U.S. government passed federal tax reform legislation that included a steep reduction in corporate tax rates and a modest decrease in individual tax rates. The tax reform improved investors’ expectations for capital spending and economic growth, but it also raised concerns about federal budget deficits and higher inflation.

The annual consumer inflation rate remained near the 2% level targeted by the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank (“Fed”). However, signs of increasing inflation emerged late in the reporting period, including a sharp rise in energy prices and higher prices at the producer level. Inflation is typically measured in terms of both final (consumer) and intermediate (producer) goods; the Fed targets inflation in final goods.

In this environment, the Fed raised its short-term interest rate target three times during the reporting period to its highest level since October 2008. The Fed also began to reduce the amount of U.S. Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities on its balance sheet in October 2017. The interest rate increases and balance sheet reduction were part of the Fed’s plan to gradually reverse substantial economic stimulus measures, implemented in response to the 2008 credit crisis, and re-establish more normal monetary policy conditions.

A stronger economy, expectations of rising growth and inflation due to the tax cuts, and the Fed’s interest rate increases led to higher Treasury bond yields and lower bond prices, particularly in the latter half of the reporting period. However, investment-grade and high-yield corporate bonds outperformed Treasury bonds as the difference in yield between corporate and Treasury bonds narrowed during the reporting period.

Corporate securities benefited from strong investor demand for yield, as well as a shift from stocks to bonds by many pension plans and other large institutional investors in a bid to reduce risk. At the same time, supply was comparatively limited; although overall issuance of corporate bonds hit a record high in 2017, net new corporate bond supply, which accounts for maturities and coupon payments of existing bonds, was lower in 2017 than either of the prior two years. In addition, federal tax reform made it less attractive for corporations to issue bonds and less costly to repatriate cash held overseas. Lower-rated and longer-term bonds performed the best across both the investment-grade and high-yield corporate markets, reflecting investor demand for higher-yielding securities.

Corporate credit quality generally improved during the reporting period. Corporate earnings remained strong, which led to a reduction in the corporate debt-to-earnings ratio. This helped default rates on high-yield bonds end 2017 at the lowest level in nearly four years, while credit rating upgrades outpaced downgrades.

About Fund Performance

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at www.ishares.com. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the redemption or sale of fund shares. The investment return and principal value of shares will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are redeemed or sold in the market. Performance for certain funds may reflect a waiver of a portion of investment advisory fees. Without such a waiver, performance would have been lower.

Net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of a fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such fund’s NAV is calculated. Certain funds may have a NAV which is determined prior to the opening of regular trading on its listed exchange and their market returns are calculated using the midpoint of the bid/ask spread as of the opening of regular trading on the exchange. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike a fund, an index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by a fund. These expenses negatively impact fund performance. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower.

Shareholder Expenses

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of fund shares and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses. The expense example, which is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on September 1, 2017 and held through February 28, 2018, is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

Actual Expenses — The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. Annualized expense ratios reflect contractual and voluntary fee waivers, if any. To estimate the expenses that you paid on your account over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number corresponding to your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your 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 in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the hypothetical examples are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

iSHARES® TRUST

 

iShares 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 Trust was established as a Delaware statutory trust pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated December 16, 1999.

These financial statements relate only to the following funds (each, a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”):

 

iShares ETF

Classification

iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond

   Diversified

iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond

   Diversified

The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of its underlying index. The investment adviser uses a “passive” or index approach to try to achieve each Fund’s investment objective.

Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Funds’ officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise 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.

 

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Fund is considered an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.

SECURITY VALUATION

Each Fund’s investments are valued at fair value each day that the Fund’s listing exchange is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the Fund’s listing exchange is not open. U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (the “Global Valuation Committee”) provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Funds. The investments of each Fund are valued pursuant to policies and procedures developed by the Global Valuation Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”).

 

   

Fixed income investments are valued using the last available bid price or current market quotations provided by dealers or prices (including evaluated prices) supplied by approved independent third-party pricing services. The pricing services may use matrix pricing or valuation models that utilize certain inputs and assumptions to derive values, including transaction data, credit quality information, perceived market movements, news, and other relevant information and by other methods, which may include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; general market conditions; and/or other factors and assumptions. Pricing services

generally value fixed income securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in such securities in smaller odd lot sizes. Odd lots may trade at lower prices than institutional round lots.

 

    Open-end U.S. mutual funds (including money market funds) are valued at that day’s published net asset value (“NAV”).

In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the fair value of such investment or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued by the Global Valuation Committee, in accordance with policies approved by the Board. The fair valuation approaches that may be utilized by the Global Valuation Committee to determine fair value include market approach, income approach and the cost approach. The valuation techniques used under these approaches take into consideration inputs that include but are not limited to (i) attributes specific to the investment; (ii) the principal market for the investment; (iii) the customary participants in the principal market for the investment; (iv) data assumptions by market participants for the investment, if reasonably available; (v) quoted prices for similar investments in active markets; and (vi) other inputs, such as future cash flows, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and/or default rates. Valuations based on such inputs are reported to the Board on a quarterly basis.

The Global Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating valuation approaches for investments where an active market does not exist, including regular due diligence of the Trust’s pricing vendors, a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing or stale prices, reviews of large movements in market values, and reviews of market related activity.

Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund’s NAV and the prices used by the Fund’s underlying index, which in turn could result in a difference between the Fund’s performance and the performance of the Fund’s underlying index.

Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of financial instruments. Inputs may be based on independent market data (“observable inputs”) or they may be internally developed (“unobservable inputs”). These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial reporting purposes as follows:

 

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

 

    Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and

 

    Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, including the Global Valuation Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments.

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgement exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The fair value hierarchy for each Fund’s investments is included in its schedule of investments.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the fair value hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of values determined for financial instruments are based on the pricing transparency of the financial instruments and are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, and payment-in-kind interest income, if any, are recognized daily on the accrual basis. Dividend income and capital gain distributions, if any, are recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dividends and distributions paid by each Fund are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Dividends and distributions are paid in U.S. dollars and cannot be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Funds.

LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

Each Fund may lend its investment securities to approved borrowers, such as brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges and maintains with the Fund collateral consisting of cash, an irrevocable letter of credit issued by an approved bank, or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government. The initial collateral received by each Fund is required to have a value of at least 102% of the current value of the loaned securities for securities traded on U.S. exchanges and a value of at least 105% for all other securities. The collateral is maintained thereafter at a value equal to at least 100% of the current value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day of the Funds. Any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds and any excess collateral is returned by the Funds on the next business day. During the term of the loan, each Fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities but does not receive interest income on securities received as collateral. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.

Cash received as collateral for securities on loan may be reinvested in certain short-term instruments either directly on behalf of a fund or through one or more joint accounts or money market funds, including those managed by BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BFA”), the Funds’ investment adviser, or its affiliates. As of February 28, 2018, any securities on loan were collateralized by cash and/or U.S. government obligations. Cash collateral received was invested in money market funds managed by BFA and is disclosed in the schedules of investments. Any non-cash collateral received cannot be sold, re-invested or pledged by the Fund, except in the event of borrower default. The securities on loan for each Fund are also disclosed in its schedule of investments. The total value of any securities on loan as of February 28, 2018 and the total value of the related cash collateral are disclosed in the statements of assets and liabilities. Income earned by the Funds from securities lending is disclosed in the statements of operations.

The risks of securities lending include the risk that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due. To mitigate these risks, the Funds benefit from a borrower default indemnity provided by BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). BlackRock’s indemnity allows for full replacement of securities loaned if the collateral received does not cover the value of the securities loaned in the event of borrower default. Each Fund could incur a loss if the value of an

investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the loaned securities or if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the original cash collateral received.

Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Funds under Master Securities Lending Agreements (“MSLA”) which provide the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency) for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate a net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. In the event that a borrower defaults, a Fund, as lender, would offset the market value of the collateral received against the market value of the securities loaned. The value of the collateral is typically greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, leaving the lender with a net amount payable to the defaulting party. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of an MSLA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Under the MSLA, the borrower can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities, and a Fund can reinvest cash collateral, or, upon an event of default, resell or re-pledge the collateral.

The following table is a summary of securities lending agreements which are subject to offset under an MSLA as of February 28, 2018:

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARD

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update “Premium Amortization on Purchase Callable Debt Securities” which amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities. Under the new guidance, premium amortization of purchased callable debt securities that have explicit, non-contingent call features and are callable at fixed prices will be amortized to the earliest call date. The guidance will be applied on a modified retrospective basis and is effective for fiscal years, and their interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance to the Funds.

 

2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Trust, BFA manages the investment of each Fund’s assets. BFA is a California corporation indirectly owned by BlackRock. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, BFA is responsible for substantially all expenses of the Funds, except (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with the execution of portfolio transactions; (iii) distribution fees; (iv) the advisory fee payable to BFA; and (v) litigation expenses and any extraordinary expenses (in each case as determined by a majority of the independent trustees).

For its investment advisory services to the iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, BFA is entitled to an annual investment advisory fee, accrued daily and paid monthly by the Fund, based on the Fund’s allocable portion of the aggregate of the average daily net assets of the Fund and certain other iShares funds, as follows:

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has issued an exemptive order which permits BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, N.A. (“BTC”), an affiliate of BFA, to serve as securities lending agent for the Funds, subject to applicable conditions. As securities lending agent, BTC bears all operational costs directly related to securities lending. Each Fund is responsible for fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral received for securities on loan in a money market fund managed by BFA, however, BTC has agreed to reduce the amount of securities lending income it receives in order to effectively limit the collateral investment fees each Fund bears to an annual rate of 0.04% (the “collateral investment fees”). Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral (excluding collateral investment fees), net of fees and other payments to and from borrowers of securities. The Funds retain a portion of securities lending income and remit the remaining portion to BTC as compensation for its services as securities lending agent.

Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, each Fund retains 80% of securities lending income and the amount retained can never be less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees. In addition, commencing the business day following the date that the aggregate securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees generated across all 1940 Act iShares exchange-traded funds (the “iShares ETF Complex”) in a given calendar year exceeds the aggregate securities lending income generated across the iShares ETF Complex in the calendar year 2013, each Fund, pursuant to a securities lending agreement, will retain for the remainder of that calendar year 85% of securities lending income and the amount retained can never be less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees.

4. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

Capital shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in aggregations of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”) at NAV. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the statements of changes in net assets.

The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a fund in the Trust generally consists of the in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of securities and a specified amount of cash. Certain funds in the Trust may be offered in Creation Units solely or partially for cash in U.S. dollars. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s administrator, to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units, including Creation Units for cash. Investors transacting in Creation Units for cash may also pay an additional variable charge to compensate the relevant fund for certain transaction costs (i.e., stamp taxes, taxes on currency or other financial transactions, and brokerage costs) and market impact expenses relating to investing in portfolio securities. Such variable charges, if any, are included in “Proceeds from shares sold” in the statements of changes in net assets.

From time to time, settlement of securities related to in-kind contributions or in-kind redemptions may be delayed. In such cases, securities related to in-kind contributions are reflected as “Due from custodian” and securities related to in-kind redemptions are reflected as “Securities related to in-kind transactions” in the statements of assets and liabilities.

 

5. PRINCIPAL RISKS

In the normal course of business, each Fund invests in securities or other instruments and may enter into certain transactions, and such activities subject the Fund to various risks, including, among others, fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of an issuer to meet all of its obligations. The value of securities or other instruments may also be affected by various factors, including, without limitation: (i) the general economy; (ii) the overall market as well as local, regional or global political and/or social instability; (iii) regulation, taxation or international tax treaties between various countries; or (iv) currency, interest rate or price fluctuations. Each Fund’s prospectus provides details of the risks to which the Fund is subject.

BFA uses a “passive” or index approach to try to achieve each Fund’s investment objective following the securities included in its underlying index during upturns as well as downturns. BFA does not take steps to reduce market exposure or to lessen the effects of a declining market. Divergence from the underlying index and the composition of the portfolio is monitored by BFA.

MARKET RISK

Market risk arises mainly from uncertainty about future values of financial instruments influenced by price, currency and interest rate movements. It represents the potential loss a fund may suffer through holding market positions in the face of market movements. A fund is exposed to market risk by its investment in equity, fixed income and/or financial derivative instruments or by its investment in underlying funds. The fair value of securities held by a fund may decline due to general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuers of the securities including local, regional or global political, social or economic instability or to factors that affect a particular industry or group of industries. The extent of a fund’s exposure to market risk is the market value of the investments held as shown in the fund’s schedule of investments.

A diversified portfolio, where this is appropriate and consistent with a fund’s objectives, minimizes the risk that a price change of a particular investment will have a material impact on the NAV of a fund. The investment concentrations within each Fund’s portfolio are disclosed in its schedule of investments.

Investing in the securities of non-U.S. issuers involves certain considerations and risks not typically associated with securities of U.S. issuers. Such risks include, but are not limited to: differences in accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards; more substantial governmental involvement in the economy; higher inflation rates, greater social, economic and political uncertainties; possible nationalization or expropriation of assets; less availability of public information about issuers; imposition of withholding or other taxes; higher transaction and custody costs and delays in settlement procedures; and lower level of regulation of the securities markets and issuers. Non-U.S. securities may be less liquid, more difficult to value, and have greater price volatility due to exchange rate fluctuations. These and other risks are heightened for investments in issuers from countries with less developed capital markets.

Changes in market interest rates or economic conditions may affect the value and/or liquidity of fixed income investments. Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of bonds and other fixed-income securities will decrease as interest rates rise and increase as interest rates fall. Securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes, usually making their prices more volatile than those of securities with shorter durations. Given the environment of historically low interest rates, a fund may be subject to a greater risk of price losses if interest rates rise.

CREDIT RISK

Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or guarantor of debt instruments or the counterparty to a financial transaction, including derivatives contracts, repurchase agreements or loans of portfolio securities, is unable or unwilling to make timely interest and/or principal payments or to otherwise honor its obligations. BFA and its affiliates manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose a fund to issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of a fund’s exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to those financial assets is approximated by their value recorded in its statement of assets and liabilities.

High yield securities that are rated below investment-grade (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”) or are unrated may be deemed speculative, involve greater levels of risk than higher-rated securities of similar maturity and are more likely to default. High yield securities may be issued by less creditworthy issuers, and issuers of high yield securities may be unable to meet their interest or principal payment obligations. High yield securities are subject to extreme price fluctuations, may be less liquid than higher rated fixed-income securities, even under normal economic conditions, and frequently have redemption features.

 

6. INCOME TAX INFORMATION

Each Fund is treated as an entity separate from the Trust’s other funds for federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of each Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions applicable to regulated investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to annually distribute substantially all of its ordinary income and any net capital gains (taking into account any capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income and excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required.

U.S. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share. The following permanent differences as of February 28, 2018, attributable to the expiration of capital loss carryforwards and realized gains (losses) from in-kind redemptions, were reclassified to the following accounts:

  a    The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) was attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and the accrual of income on securities in default.

As of February 28, 2018, the Funds had non-expiring capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains as follows:

Management has analyzed tax laws and regulations and their application to the Funds as of February 28, 2018, inclusive of the open tax return years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability in the Funds’ financial statements.

 

7. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On June 16, 2016, investors (the “Plaintiffs”) in certain iShares funds (iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF, iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF, iShares Core S&P 500 ETF, iShares Russell Mid-Cap Growth ETF, iShares Russell Mid-Cap ETF, iShares Russell Mid-Cap Value ETF, iShares Select Dividend ETF, iShares Morningstar Mid-Cap ETF, iShares Morningstar Large-Cap ETF, iShares U.S. Aerospace & Defense ETF and iShares U.S. Preferred Stock ETF) filed a putative class action lawsuit against iShares Trust, BlackRock, Inc. and certain of its advisory affiliates, and certain directors/trustees and officers of the Funds (collectively, “Defendants”) in California State Court. The lawsuit alleges the Defendants violated federal securities laws by failing to adequately disclose in the prospectuses issued by the funds noted above the risks of using stop-loss orders in the event of a ‘flash crash’, such as the one that occurred on May 6, 2010. On September 18, 2017, the court issued a Statement of Decision holding that the Plaintiffs lack standing to assert their claims. On October 11, 2017, the court entered final judgment dismissing all of the Plaintiffs’ claims with prejudice. Plaintiffs have appealed the court’s decision.

 

8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds through the date the financial statements were available to be issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

To the Board of Trustees of iShares Trust and Shareholders of

iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF and

iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF and iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (two of the funds constituting iShares Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of February 28, 2018, the related statements of operations for the year ended February 28, 2018, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended February 28, 2018, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended February 28, 2018 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of February 28, 2018, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended February 28, 2018 and each of the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended February 28, 2018 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of February 28, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent 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 opinions.

Premium/Discount Information

The Premium/Discount Information section is intended to present information about the differences between the daily market price on secondary markets for shares of a fund and that fund’s NAV. NAV is the price at which a fund issues and redeems shares. It is calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The “Market Price” of a fund generally is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest ask on the primary securities exchange on which shares of such fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the fund’s NAV is calculated. A fund’s Market Price may be at, above or below its NAV. The NAV of a fund will fluctuate with changes in the value of its portfolio holdings. The Market Price of a fund will fluctuate in accordance with changes in its NAV, as well as market supply and demand.

Premiums or discounts are the differences (expressed as a percentage) between the NAV and Market Price of a fund on a given day, generally at the time the NAV is calculated. A premium is the amount that a fund is trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. A discount is the amount that a fund is trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV.

Premium/discount information for the Funds covering the most recently completed calendar year and the most recently completed calendar quarters since that year (or the life of the Fund, if shorter) is publicly accessible, free of charge, at www.iShares.com.

The following information shows the frequency of distributions of premiums and discounts for the Funds for the immediately preceding five calendar years (or from the inception date of the Fund, if less than five years) through the date of the most recent calendar quarter-end. Each line in each table shows the number of trading days in which the Fund traded within the premium/discount range indicated. The number of trading days in each premium/discount range is also shown as a percentage of the total number of trading days in the period covered by each table. All data presented here represents past performance, which cannot be used to predict future results.

Regulation under the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive

The Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (“AIFMD”) imposes detailed and prescriptive obligations on fund managers established in the European Union (the “EU”). These do not currently apply to managers established outside the EU, such as BFA. Rather, non-EU managers are only required to comply with certain disclosure, reporting and transparency obligations of the AIFMD if such managers market a fund to EU investors.

BFA has registered the iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF and iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF (each a “Fund”, collectively the “Funds”) for marketing to investors in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Finland, Sweden, and Luxembourg.

Report on Remuneration

BFA is required under the AIFMD to make quantitative disclosures of remuneration. These disclosures are made in line with BlackRock’s interpretation of currently available regulatory guidance on quantitative remuneration disclosures. As market or regulatory practice develops BlackRock may consider it appropriate to make changes to the way in which quantitative remuneration disclosures are calculated. Where such changes are made, this may result in disclosures in relation to a fund not being comparable to the disclosures made in the prior year, or in relation to other BlackRock fund disclosures in that same year.

Disclosures are provided in relation to (a) the staff of BFA; (b) staff who are senior management; and (c) staff who have the ability to materially affect the risk profile of the Funds.

All individuals included in the aggregated figures disclosed are rewarded in line with BlackRock’s remuneration policy for their responsibilities across the relevant BlackRock business area. As all individuals have a number of areas of responsibilities, only the portion of remuneration for those individuals’ services attributable to the Funds is included in the aggregate figures disclosed.

BlackRock has a clear and well-defined pay-for-performance philosophy, and compensation programs which support that philosophy.

BlackRock operates a total compensation model for remuneration which includes a base salary, which is contractual, and a discretionary bonus scheme. Although all employees are eligible to receive a discretionary bonus, there is no contractual obligation to make a discretionary bonus award to any employees. For senior management, a significant percentage of variable remuneration is deferred over time. All employees are subject to a claw-back policy.

Remuneration decisions for employees are made once annually in January following the end of the performance year, based on BlackRock’s full-year financial results and other non-financial goals and objectives. Alongside financial performance, individual total compensation is also based on strategic and operating results and other considerations such as management and leadership capabilities. No set formulas are established and no fixed benchmarks are used in determining annual incentive awards.

Annual incentive awards are paid from a bonus pool which is reviewed throughout the year by BlackRock’s independent compensation committee, taking into account both actual and projected financial information together with information provided by the Enterprise Risk and Regulatory Compliance departments in relation to any activities, incidents or events that warrant consideration in making compensation decisions. Individuals are not involved in setting their own remuneration.

Each of the control functions (Enterprise Risk, Legal & Compliance, and Internal Audit) each have their own organizational structures which are independent of the business units. Functional bonus pools for those control functions are determined with

reference to the performance of each individual function and the remuneration of the senior members of control functions is directly overseen by BlackRock’s independent compensation committee.

Members of staff and senior management of BFA typically provide both AIFMD and non-AIFMD related services in respect of multiple funds, clients and functions of BFA and across the broader BlackRock group. Therefore, the figures disclosed are a sum of each individual’s portion of remuneration attributable to the Funds according to an objective apportionment methodology which acknowledges the multiple-service nature of BFA. Accordingly the figures are not representative of any individual’s actual remuneration or their remuneration structure.

The amount of the total remuneration awarded by BFA to its staff which has been attributed to the iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF in respect of BFA’s financial year ending December 31, 2017 was USD 1.66 million. This figure is comprised of fixed remuneration of USD 663.57 thousand and variable remuneration of USD 1 million. There were a total of 417 beneficiaries of the remuneration described above.

The amount of the aggregate remuneration awarded by BFA, which has been attributed to the iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond ETF in respect of BFA’s financial year ending December 31, 2017, to its senior management was USD 232.91 thousand, and to members of its staff whose actions have a material impact on the risk profile of the Fund was USD 43.39 thousand.

The amount of the total remuneration awarded by BFA to its staff which has been attributed to the iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF in respect of BFA’s financial year ending December 31, 2017 was USD 3.69 million. This figure is comprised of fixed remuneration of USD 1.47 million and variable remuneration of USD 2.22 million. There were a total of 417 beneficiaries of the remuneration described above.

The amount of the aggregate remuneration awarded by BFA, which has been attributed to the iShares iBoxx $ Investment Grade Corporate Bond ETF in respect of BFA’s financial year ending December 31, 2017, to its senior management was USD 516.01 thousand, and to members of its staff whose actions have a material impact on the risk profile of the Fund was USD 96.13 thousand.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

iSHARES® TRUST

 

U.S. BOND MARKET OVERVIEW

The U.S. bond market rose modestly during the 12 months ended February 28, 2018 (“reporting period”). The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, a broad measure of U.S. bond performance, returned 0.51% for the reporting period.

The primary factors affecting bond market performance during the reporting period were a strengthening U.S. economy and federal tax reform. The final nine months of 2017 were the strongest three consecutive quarters of economic growth in more than 12 years. Key economic drivers included an increase in manufacturing activity and the lowest unemployment rate since December 2000.

In December 2017, the U.S. government passed federal tax reform legislation that included a steep reduction in corporate tax rates and a modest decrease in individual tax rates. The tax reform improved investors’ expectations for capital spending and economic growth, but it also raised concerns about federal budget deficits and higher inflation.

The annual consumer inflation rate remained near the 2% level targeted by the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank (“Fed”). However, signs of increasing inflation emerged late in the reporting period, including a sharp rise in energy prices and higher prices at the producer level. Inflation is typically measured in terms of both final (consumer) and intermediate (producer) goods; the Fed targets inflation in final goods.

In this environment, the Fed raised its short-term interest rate target three times during the reporting period to its highest level since October 2008. The Fed also began to reduce the amount of U.S. Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities on its balance sheet in October 2017. The interest rate increases and balance sheet reduction were part of the Fed’s plan to gradually reverse substantial economic stimulus measures, implemented in response to the 2008 credit crisis, and re-establish more normal monetary policy conditions.

A stronger economy, expectations of rising growth and inflation due to the tax cuts, and the Fed’s interest rate increases led to higher bond yields and lower bond prices, with yields rising most sharply for short-term bonds. Intermediate- and long-term bond yields rose to a lesser extent, with much of the increase occurring in early 2018 following the approval of federal tax reform legislation at the end of 2017.

Corporate bonds were among the better performers in the U.S. bond market during the reporting period, returning more than 2%. Corporate bonds benefited from strong investor demand for yield. Demand was especially strong for lower-quality bonds, which tend to have the highest yields. Limited new supply also supported corporate bond performance. Although overall issuance of corporate bonds hit a record high in 2017, net new corporate bond supply was lower than in either of the prior two years.

Mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) posted modestly positive returns for the reporting period. Rising interest rates and concerns about the Fed’s plan to reduce the amount of MBS on its balance sheet held the sector in check. Commercial MBS, which often have fixed maturities, outperformed residential MBS for the reporting period. Because residential MBS are subject to refinancing, their price sensitivity to interest rate changes typically increases as rates rise and prepayments slow.

Both U.S. Treasury and government agency securities underperformed other sectors of the U.S. bond market. U.S. Treasury securities, which tend be the most sensitive to interest rate fluctuations, declined marginally for the reporting period due to the impact of higher bond yields. Government agency securities, which have higher yields relative to Treasury bonds, posted a modest positive return for the reporting period.

About Fund Performance

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at www.ishares.com. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the redemption or sale of fund shares. The investment return and principal value of shares will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are redeemed or sold in the market. Performance for certain funds may reflect a waiver of a portion of investment advisory fees. Without such a waiver, performance would have been lower.

Net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of a fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such fund’s NAV is calculated. Certain funds may have a NAV which is determined prior to the opening of regular trading on its listed exchange and their market returns are calculated using the midpoint of the bid/ask spread as of the opening of regular trading on the exchange. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike a fund, an index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by a fund. These expenses negatively impact fund performance. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower.

Shareholder Expenses

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of fund shares and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses. The expense example, which is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on September 1, 2017 and held through February 28, 2018, is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

Actual Expenses — The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. Annualized expense ratios reflect contractual and voluntary fee waivers, if any. To estimate the expenses that you paid on your account over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number corresponding to your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your 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 in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the hypothetical examples are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

iSHARES® TRUST

 

iShares 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 Trust was established as a Delaware statutory trust pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated December 16, 1999.

These financial statements relate only to the following funds (each, a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”):

 

iShares ETF   

Diversification

Classification

Core 5-10 Year USD Bond

   Non-diversified

Core 10+ Year USD Bond

   Diversified

The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of its underlying index. The investment adviser uses a “passive” or index approach to try to achieve each Fund’s investment objective.

Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Funds’ officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise 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.

 

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Fund is considered an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.

SECURITY VALUATION

Each Fund’s investments are valued at fair value each day that the Fund’s listing exchange is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the Fund’s listing exchange is not open. U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (the “Global Valuation Committee”) provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Funds. The investments of each Fund are valued pursuant to policies and procedures developed by the Global Valuation Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”).

 

   

Fixed income investments are valued using the last available bid price or current market quotations provided by dealers or prices (including evaluated prices) supplied by approved independent third-party pricing services. The pricing services may use matrix pricing or valuation models that utilize certain inputs and assumptions to derive values, including transaction data, credit quality information, perceived market movements, news, and other relevant information and by other methods, which may include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; general market conditions; and/or other factors and assumptions. Pricing services

generally value fixed income securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in such securities in smaller odd lot sizes. Odd lots may trade at lower prices than institutional round lots.

 

    Open-end U.S. mutual funds (including money market funds) are valued at that day’s published net asset value (“NAV”).

In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the fair value of such investment or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued by the Global Valuation Committee, in accordance with policies approved by the Board. The fair valuation approaches that may be utilized by the Global Valuation Committee to determine fair value include market approach, income approach and the cost approach. The valuation techniques used under these approaches take into consideration inputs that include but are not limited to (i) attributes specific to the investment; (ii) the principal market for the investment; (iii) the customary participants in the principal market for the investment; (iv) data assumptions by market participants for the investment, if reasonably available; (v) quoted prices for similar investments in active markets; and (vi) other inputs, such as future cash flows, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and/or default rates. Valuations based on such inputs are reported to the Board on a quarterly basis.

The Global Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating valuation approaches for investments where an active market does not exist, including regular due diligence of the Trust’s pricing vendors, a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing or stale prices, reviews of large movements in market values, and reviews of market related activity.

Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund’s NAV and the prices used by the Fund’s underlying index, which in turn could result in a difference between the Fund’s performance and the performance of the Fund’s underlying index.

Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of financial instruments. Inputs may be based on independent market data (“observable inputs”) or they may be internally developed (“unobservable inputs”). These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial reporting purposes as follows:

 

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

 

    Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and

 

    Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, including the Global Valuation Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments.

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgement exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The fair value hierarchy for each Fund’s investments is included in its schedule of investments.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the fair value hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of values determined for financial instruments are based on the pricing transparency of the financial instruments and are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, and payment-in-kind interest income, if any are recognized daily on the accrual basis. Dividend income and capital gain distributions, if any, are recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source.

WHEN-ISSUED/TBA TRANSACTIONS

The iShares Core 5-10 Year USD Bond ETF may purchase mortgage pass-through securities on a when-issued or to-be-announced (“TBA”) basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. The Fund may enter into a TBA agreement, sell the obligation to purchase the pools stipulated in the TBA agreement prior to the stipulated settlement date and enter into a new TBA agreement for future delivery of pools of mortgage pass-through securities (a “TBA roll”). A TBA roll is treated by the Fund as a purchase transaction and a sale transaction in which the Fund realizes a gain or loss. The Fund’s use of TBA rolls may cause the Fund to experience higher portfolio turnover and higher transaction costs. The Fund could be exposed to possible risk if there are adverse market actions, expenses or delays in connection with the TBA transactions, or if the counterparty fails to complete the transaction.

To mitigate counterparty risk, the Fund has entered into a two-way collateral agreement for TBA transactions with certain counterparties. Under such agreement, the “in-the-money” party of a TBA transaction may at any time require the other party to pledge collateral assets (in the form of cash or securities) to offset any loss the in-the-money party would incur upon cancellation of the TBA transaction. A party is in-the-money if they are the buyer and the market value of the TBA transaction increases or if they are the seller and the market value of the TBA transaction decreases. Cash received as collateral from the counterparty may be reinvested in money market funds, including those managed by the Fund’s investment adviser, or its affiliates. Such collateral, if any, is presented in the statement of assets and liabilities as “Investments in securities – affiliated” and “Payable due to broker for TBA collateral.” Securities pledged as collateral by the Fund, if any, are noted in the schedule of investments.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dividends and distributions paid by each Fund are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Dividends and distributions are paid in U.S. dollars and cannot be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Funds.

LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

Each Fund may lend its investment securities to approved borrowers, such as brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges and maintains with the Fund collateral consisting of cash, an irrevocable letter of credit issued by an approved bank, or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government. The initial collateral received by each Fund is required to have a value of at least 102% of the current value of the loaned securities for securities traded on U.S. exchanges and a value of at least 105% for all other securities. The collateral is maintained thereafter at a value equal to at least 100% of the current value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day

of the Funds. Any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds and any excess collateral is returned by the Funds on the next business day. During the term of the loan, each Fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities but does not receive interest income on securities received as collateral. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.

Cash received as collateral for securities on loan may be reinvested in certain short-term instruments either directly on behalf of a fund or through one or more joint accounts or money market funds, including those managed by BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BFA”), the Funds’ investment adviser, or its affiliates. As of February 28, 2018, any securities on loan were collateralized by cash and/or U.S. government obligations. Cash collateral received was invested in money market funds managed by BFA and is disclosed in the schedules of investments. Any non-cash collateral received cannot be sold, re-invested or pledged by the Fund, except in the event of borrower default. The securities on loan for each Fund are also disclosed in its schedule of investments. The total value of any securities on loan as of February 28, 2018 and the total value of the related cash collateral are disclosed in the statements of assets and liabilities. Income earned by the Funds from securities lending is disclosed in the statements of operations.

The risks of securities lending include the risk that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due. To mitigate these risks, the Funds benefit from a borrower default indemnity provided by BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). BlackRock’s indemnity allows for full replacement of securities loaned if the collateral received does not cover the value of the securities loaned in the event of borrower default. Each Fund could incur a loss if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the loaned securities or if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the original cash collateral received.

Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Funds under Master Securities Lending Agreements (“MSLA”) which provide the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency) for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate a net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. In the event that a borrower defaults, a Fund, as lender, would offset the market value of the collateral received against the market value of the securities loaned. The value of the collateral is typically greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, leaving the lender with a net amount payable to the defaulting party. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of an MSLA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Under the MSLA, the borrower can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities, and a Fund can reinvest cash collateral, or, upon an event of default, resell or re-pledge the collateral.

The following table is a summary of securities lending agreements which are subject to offset under an MSLA as of February 28, 2018:

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARD

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update “Premium Amortization on Purchase Callable Debt Securities” which amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities. Under the new guidance, premium amortization of purchased callable debt securities that have explicit, non-contingent call features and are callable at fixed prices will be amortized to the earliest call date. The guidance will be applied on a modified retrospective basis and is effective for fiscal years, and their interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance to the Funds.

 

2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Trust, BFA manages the investment of each Fund’s assets. BFA is a California corporation indirectly owned by BlackRock. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, BFA is responsible for substantially all expenses of the Funds, except (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with the execution of portfolio transactions; (iii) distribution fees; (iv) the advisory fee payable to BFA; and (v) litigation expenses and any extraordinary expenses (in each case as determined by a majority of the independent trustees).

For its investment advisory services to the iShares Core 5-10 Year USD Bond ETF, BFA is entitled to an annual investment advisory fee of 0.06%, accrued daily and paid monthly by the Fund, based on the average daily net assets of the Fund. Prior to August 4, 2017, BFA was entitled to an annual investment advisory fee of 0.08%. In addition, the Fund may incur its pro rata share of fees and expenses attributable to its investments in other investment companies (“acquired fund fees and expenses”). BFA has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its investment advisory fee for the Fund through February 28, 2021 in an amount equal to the acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, attributable to investments by the Fund in other registered investment companies advised by BFA or its affiliates.

For its investment advisory services to the iShares Core 10+ Year USD Bond ETF, BFA is entitled to an annual investment advisory fee of 0.06%, accrued daily and paid monthly by the Fund, based on the average daily net assets of the Fund. Prior to August 4, 2017, BFA was entitled to an annual investment advisory fee of 0.08%.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has issued an exemptive order which permits BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, N.A. (“BTC”), an affiliate of BFA, to serve as securities lending agent for the Funds, subject to applicable conditions. As securities lending agent, BTC bears all operational costs directly related to securities lending. Each Fund is responsible for fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral received for securities on loan in a money market fund managed by BFA, however, BTC has agreed to reduce the amount of securities lending income it receives in order to effectively limit the collateral investment fees each Fund bears to an annual rate of 0.04% (the “collateral investment fees”). Securities lending income is equal

to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral (excluding collateral investment fees), net of fees and other payments to and from borrowers of securities. The Funds retain a portion of securities lending income and remit the remaining portion to BTC as compensation for its services as securities lending agent.

Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, each Fund retains 80% of securities lending income and the amount retained can never be less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees. In addition, commencing the business day following the date that the aggregate securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees generated across all 1940 Act iShares exchange-traded funds (the “iShares ETF Complex”) in a given calendar year exceeds the aggregate securities lending income generated across the iShares ETF Complex in the calendar year 2013, each Fund, pursuant to a securities lending agreement, will retain for the remainder of that calendar year 85% of securities lending income and the amount retained can never be less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees.

For the year ended February 28, 2018, the total of securities lending agent services and collateral investment fees paid were as follows:

BlackRock Investments, LLC, an affiliate of BFA, is the distributor for each Fund. Pursuant to the distribution agreement, BFA is responsible for any fees or expenses for distribution services provided to the Funds.

Cross trading is the buying or selling of portfolio securities between funds to which BFA (or an affiliate) serves as investment adviser. At its regularly scheduled quarterly meetings, the Board reviews such transactions as of the most recent calendar quarter for compliance with the requirements and restrictions set forth by Rule 17a-7.

For the year ended February 28, 2018, the sales transactions executed by the iShares Core 10+ Year USD Bond ETF pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act were $66,125.

Each Fund may invest its positive cash balances in certain money market funds managed by BFA or an affiliate. The income earned on these temporary cash investments is included in “Dividends – affiliated” in the statements of operations.

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is the largest stockholder of BlackRock and is considered to be an affiliate of the Funds for 1940 Act purposes.

Certain trustees and officers of the Trust are also officers of BTC and/or BFA.

4. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

Capital shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in aggregations of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”) at NAV. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the statements of changes in net assets.

The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a fund in the Trust generally consists of the in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of securities and a specified amount of cash. Certain funds in the Trust may be offered in Creation Units solely or partially for cash in U.S. dollars. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s administrator, to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units, including Creation Units for cash. Investors transacting in Creation Units for cash may also pay an additional variable charge to compensate the relevant fund for certain transaction costs (i.e., stamp taxes, taxes on currency or other financial transactions, and brokerage costs) and market impact expenses relating to investing in portfolio securities. Such variable charges, if any, are included in “Proceeds from shares sold” in the statements of changes in net assets.

From time to time, settlement of securities related to in-kind contributions or in-kind redemptions may be delayed. In such cases, securities related to in-kind contributions are reflected as “Due from custodian” and securities related to in-kind redemptions are reflected as “Securities related to in-kind transactions” in the statements of assets and liabilities.

 

5. PRINCIPAL RISKS

In the normal course of business, each Fund invests in securities or other instruments and may enter into certain transactions, and such activities subject the Fund to various risks, including, among others, fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of an issuer to meet all of its obligations. The value of securities or other instruments may also be affected by various factors, including, without limitation: (i) the general economy; (ii) the overall market as well as local, regional or global political and/or social instability; (iii) regulation, taxation or international tax treaties between various countries; or (iv) currency, interest rate or price fluctuations. Each Fund’s prospectus provides details of the risks to which the Fund is subject.

BFA uses a “passive” or index approach to try to achieve each Fund’s investment objective following the securities included in its underlying index during upturns as well as downturns. BFA does not take steps to reduce market exposure or to lessen the effects of a declining market. Divergence from the underlying index and the composition of the portfolio is monitored by BFA.

MARKET RISK

Market risk arises mainly from uncertainty about future values of financial instruments influenced by price, currency and interest rate movements. It represents the potential loss a fund may suffer through holding market positions in the face of market movements. A fund is exposed to market risk by its investment in equity, fixed income and/or financial derivative instruments or by its investment in underlying funds. The fair value of securities held by a fund may decline due to general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuers of the securities including local, regional or global

political, social or economic instability or to factors that affect a particular industry or group of industries. The extent of a fund’s exposure to market risk is the market value of the investments held as shown in the fund’s schedule of investments.

A diversified portfolio, where this is appropriate and consistent with a fund’s objectives, minimizes the risk that a price change of a particular investment will have a material impact on the NAV of a fund. The investment concentrations within each Fund’s portfolio are disclosed in its schedule of investments.

Investing in the securities of non-U.S. issuers involves certain considerations and risks not typically associated with securities of U.S. issuers. Such risks include, but are not limited to: differences in accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards; more substantial governmental involvement in the economy; higher inflation rates, greater social, economic and political uncertainties; possible nationalization or expropriation of assets; less availability of public information about issuers; imposition of withholding or other taxes; higher transaction and custody costs and delays in settlement procedures; and lower level of regulation of the securities markets and issuers. Non-U.S. securities may be less liquid, more difficult to value, and have greater price volatility due to exchange rate fluctuations. These and other risks are heightened for investments in issuers from countries with less developed capital markets.

The economies and markets of European countries are often closely connected and interdependent, and events in one country in Europe can have an adverse impact on other European countries. The European financial markets have experienced volatility and adverse trends in recent years due to concerns about economic downturns or rising government debt levels in several European countries. These events have adversely affected the exchange rate of the euro and may continue to significantly affect European countries. The occurrence of terrorist incidents throughout Europe also could impact financial markets. In addition, the United Kingdom has voted to withdraw from the European Union. The referendum may introduce significant new uncertainties and instability in the financial markets as the United Kingdom negotiates its exit from the European Union.

The United States and the European Union, along with the regulatory bodies of a number of countries including Japan, Australia, Norway, Switzerland and Canada, have imposed economic sanctions, which consist of asset freezes and sectorial sanctions, on certain Russian individuals and Russian corporate entities. Broader sanctions on Russia could also be instituted. These sanctions, or even the threat of further sanctions, may result in the decline of the value and liquidity of Russian securities, a weakening of the ruble or other adverse consequences to the Russian economy. Current or future sanctions may result in Russia taking counter measures or retaliatory actions, which may further impair the value and liquidity of Russian securities. These retaliatory measures may include the immediate freeze of Russian assets held by a fund.

Changes in market interest rates or economic conditions may affect the value and/or liquidity of fixed income investments. Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of bonds and other fixed-income securities will decrease as interest rates rise and increase as interest rates fall. Securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes, usually making their prices more volatile than those of securities with shorter durations. Given the environment of historically low interest rates, a fund may be subject to a greater risk of price losses if interest rates rise.

CREDIT RISK

Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or guarantor of debt instruments or the counterparty to a financial transaction, including derivatives contracts, repurchase agreements or loans of portfolio securities, is unable or unwilling to make timely interest and/or principal payments or to otherwise honor its obligations. BFA and its affiliates manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose a fund to issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of a fund’s exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to those financial assets is approximated by their value recorded in its statement of assets and liabilities.

6. INCOME TAX INFORMATION

Each Fund is treated as an entity separate from the Trust’s other funds for federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of each Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions applicable to regulated investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to annually distribute substantially all of its ordinary income and any net capital gains (taking into account any capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income and excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required.

U.S. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share. The following permanent differences as of February 28, 2018, attributable to realized gains (losses) from in-kind redemptions were reclassified to the following accounts:

Management has analyzed tax laws and regulations and their application to the Funds as of February 28, 2018, inclusive of the open tax return years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability in the Funds’ financial statements.

 

7. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On June 16, 2016, investors (the “Plaintiffs”) in certain iShares funds (iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF, iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF, iShares Core S&P 500 ETF, iShares Russell Mid-Cap Growth ETF, iShares Russell Mid-Cap ETF, iShares Russell Mid-Cap Value ETF, iShares Select Dividend ETF, iShares Morningstar Mid-Cap ETF, iShares Morningstar Large-Cap ETF, iShares U.S. Aerospace & Defense ETF and iShares U.S. Preferred Stock ETF) filed a putative class action lawsuit against iShares Trust, BlackRock, Inc. and certain of its advisory affiliates, and certain directors/trustees and officers of the Funds (collectively, “Defendants”) in California State Court. The lawsuit alleges the Defendants violated federal securities laws by failing to adequately disclose in the prospectuses issued by the funds noted above the risks of using stop-loss orders in the event of a ‘flash crash’, such as the one that occurred on May 6, 2010. On September 18, 2017, the court issued a Statement of Decision holding that the Plaintiffs lack standing to assert their claims. On October 11, 2017, the court entered final judgment dismissing all of the Plaintiffs’ claims with prejudice. Plaintiffs have appealed the court’s decision.

 

8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds through the date the financial statements were available to be issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Trustees of iShares Trust and

Shareholders of iShares Core 5-10 Year USD Bond ETF and

iShares Core 10+ Year USD Bond ETF

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of iShares Core 5-10 Year USD Bond ETF and iShares Core 10+ Year USD Bond ETF (two of the funds constituting iShares Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of February 28, 2018, the related statements of operations for the year ended February 28, 2018, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the periods indicated in the table below, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of February 28, 2018, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the periods indicated in the table below and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

iShares Core 5-10 Year USD Bond ETF: statements of changes in net assets for the year ended February 28, 2018 and for the period November 1, 2016 (commencement of operations) through February 28, 2017.
iShares Core 10+ Year USD Bond ETF: statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended February 28, 2018.

Basis for Opinions

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of February 28, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent 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 opinions.

Premium/Discount Information

The Premium/Discount Information section is intended to present information about the differences between the daily market price on secondary markets for shares of a fund and that fund’s NAV. NAV is the price at which a fund issues and redeems shares. It is calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The “Market Price” of a fund generally is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest ask on the primary securities exchange on which shares of such fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the fund’s NAV is calculated. A fund’s Market Price may be at, above or below its NAV. The NAV of a fund will fluctuate with changes in the value of its portfolio holdings. The Market Price of a fund will fluctuate in accordance with changes in its NAV, as well as market supply and demand.

Premiums or discounts are the differences (expressed as a percentage) between the NAV and Market Price of a fund on a given day, generally at the time the NAV is calculated. A premium is the amount that a fund is trading above the reported NAV,

expressed as a percentage of the NAV. A discount is the amount that a fund is trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

iSHARES® TRUST

 

U.S. CORPORATE BOND MARKET OVERVIEW

U.S. corporate bond performance was mixed during the period from July 11, 2017, to February 28, 2018 (“reporting period”). The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate and Corporate High Yield Indexes, broad measures of U.S. investment-grade and high-yield corporate bond performance, returned 0.03% and 2.36%, respectively, for the reporting period.

The primary factors affecting bond market performance during the reporting period were a strengthening U.S. economy and federal tax reform. The final nine months of 2017 were the strongest three consecutive quarters of economic growth in more than 12 years. Key economic drivers included an increase in manufacturing activity and the lowest unemployment rate since December 2000.

In December 2017, the U.S. government passed federal tax reform legislation that included a steep reduction in corporate tax rates and a modest decrease in individual tax rates. The tax reform improved investors’ expectations for capital spending and economic growth, but it also raised concerns about federal budget deficits and higher inflation.

The annual consumer inflation rate remained near the 2% level targeted by the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank (“Fed”). However, signs of increasing inflation emerged late for the reporting period, including a sharp rise in energy prices and higher prices at the producer level. Inflation is typically measured in terms of both final (consumer) and intermediate (producer) goods; the Fed targets inflation in final goods.

In this environment, the Fed raised its short-term interest rate target once during the reporting period, to its highest level since October 2008. The Fed also began to reduce the amount of U.S. Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities on its balance sheet in October 2017. The interest rate increase and balance sheet reduction were part of the Fed’s plan to gradually reverse substantial economic stimulus measures, implemented in response to the 2008 credit crisis, and re-establish more normal monetary policy conditions.

A stronger economy, expectations of rising growth and inflation due to the tax cuts, and the Fed’s interest rate increases led to higher Treasury bond yields and lower bond prices, particularly in the latter half of the reporting period. However, investment-grade and high-yield corporate bonds outperformed Treasury bonds as the difference in yield between corporate and Treasury bonds narrowed during the reporting period.

Corporate securities benefited from strong investor demand for yield, as well as a shift from stocks to bonds by many pension plans and other large institutional investors in a bid to reduce risk. At the same time, supply was comparatively limited; although overall issuance of corporate bonds hit a record high in 2017, net new corporate bond supply, which accounts for maturities and coupon payments of existing bonds, was lower in 2017 than either of the prior two years. In addition, federal tax reform made it less attractive for corporations to issue bonds and less costly to repatriate cash held overseas. Lower-rated and longer-term bonds performed the best across both the investment-grade and high-yield corporate markets, reflecting investor demand for higher-yielding securities.

Corporate credit quality generally improved during the reporting period. Corporate earnings remained strong, which led to a reduction in the corporate debt-to-earnings ratio. This helped default rates on high-yield bonds end 2017 at the lowest level in nearly four years, while credit rating upgrades outpaced downgrades.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (Continued)

iSHARES® EDGE HIGH YIELD DEFENSIVE BOND ETF

 

The iShares Edge High Yield Defensive Bond ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of U.S. dollar-denominated, high yield corporate bonds, as represented by the BlackRock High Yield Defensive Bond Index (the “Index”). The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the Index that collectively has an investment profile similar to the Index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the Fund may or may not hold all of the securities that are included in the Index. For the reporting period from July 11, 2017 (inception date of the Fund) through February 28, 2018, the total return for the Fund was 3.35%, net of fees, while the total return for the Index was 3.27%.

Bonds in the industrial sector contributed the majority of the Index’s return for the reporting period. Within the industrial sector, which represented approximately 89% of the Index on average, bonds issued by energy companies contributed the most to the Index’s performance as steadily rising oil prices and a decline in bankruptcies led to improved investor confidence in the ability of energy companies to service their debt. Among these, bonds issued by oilfield services companies contributed the most, followed by those of independent energy and refining companies.

Bonds issued by metals producers also made a solid contribution to the Index’s return for the reporting period as U.S.-based metals and mining companies were considered to be among the most significant beneficiaries of the 2017 federal tax reform bill. Other contributors within the industrial sector included debt issued by healthcare, pharmaceutical, and retail companies.

The utilities sector, which was composed entirely of electric utilities, was a solid contributor to the Index’s return for the reporting period, as tax reform freed up funds for increases in capital expenditures and further investments in the power grid. The financial sector also contributed modestly to performance, despite a selloff related to repatriation of assets held overseas.

On the downside, bonds issued by wireless and wireline telecommunication services providers detracted from the Index’s performance for the reporting period.

Looking at credit quality, lower-rated bonds were meaningful contributors to the Index’s return, benefiting from strong investor demand for yield. However, higher-rated bonds also contributed notably to the Index’s performance for the reporting period.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (Continued)

iSHARES® EDGE INVESTMENT GRADE ENHANCED BOND ETF

 

The iShares Edge Investment Grade Enhanced Bond ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of U.S. dollar denominated investment grade bonds, as represented by the BlackRock Investment Grade Enhanced Bond Index (the “Index”). The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the Index that collectively has an investment profile similar to the Index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the Fund may or may not hold all of the securities that are included in the Index. For the reporting period from July 11, 2017 (inception date of the Fund) through February 28, 2018, the total return for the Fund was -0.23%, net of fees, while the total return for the Index was -0.20%.

Bonds in the financial sector were detractors from the Index’s performance for the reporting period, with the majority of the negative return coming from debt issued by banks and insurance companies. Changes in the U.S. tax code weighed heavily on bank-issued debt. Bonds issued by insurance companies, and especially health insurance companies, were modest detractors. Property and casualty insurers, which faced losses from three significant hurricanes in 2017, were also small detractors from performance.

Bonds issued by companies in the industrial sector, which represented approximately 67% of the Index on average, also detracted from the Index’s performance for the reporting period. Bonds issued by consumer-related companies detracted the most within the industrial sector, as healthcare and pharmaceutical companies dealt with an uncertain regulatory environment. Debt issued by industrial sector companies in the energy and metals industries, however, made positive contributions to the Index’s return for the reporting period.

Bonds issued by companies in the utilities sector contributed to the Index’s performance for the reporting period. Within the sector, securities issued by both electric and natural gas utilities were positive contributors to the Index’s return, as tax reform freed up funds for increases in capital expenditures and further investments in the power grid.

Looking at credit quality, lower-rated bonds detracted from the Index’s performance for the reporting period, while the highest-rated bonds in the Index were modest contributors to return. From a maturity perspective, long-term bonds contributed to the Index’s performance, while short- and intermediate-term bonds detracted.

About Fund Performance

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at www.ishares.com. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the redemption or sale of fund shares. The investment return and principal value of shares will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are redeemed or sold in the market. Performance for certain funds may reflect a waiver of a portion of investment advisory fees. Without such a waiver, performance would have been lower.

Net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of a fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such fund’s NAV is calculated. Certain funds may have a NAV which is determined prior to the opening of regular trading on its listed exchange and their market returns are calculated using the midpoint of the bid/ask spread as of the opening of regular trading on the exchange. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike a fund, an index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by a fund. These expenses negatively impact fund performance. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower.

Shareholder Expenses

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of fund shares and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses. The expense example, which is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on September 1, 2017 and held through February 28, 2018, is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

Actual Expenses — The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. Annualized expense ratios reflect contractual and voluntary fee waivers, if any. To estimate the expenses that you paid on your account over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number corresponding to your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your 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 in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the hypothetical examples are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

iSHARES® TRUST

 

iShares 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 Trust was established as a Delaware statutory trust pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated December 16, 1999.

These financial statements relate only to the following funds (each, a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”):

 

iShares ETF    Diversification
Classification

Edge High Yield Defensive Bonda

   Diversified

Edge Investment Grade Enhanced  Bonda

   Diversified

 

  a    The Fund commenced operations on July 11, 2017.

The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of its underlying index. The investment adviser uses a “passive” or index approach to try to achieve each Fund’s investment objective.

Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Funds’ officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise 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.

 

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Fund is considered an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.

SECURITY VALUATION

Each Fund’s investments are valued at fair value each day that the Fund’s listing exchange is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the Fund’s listing exchange is not open. U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (the “Global Valuation Committee”) provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Funds. The investments of each Fund are valued pursuant to policies and procedures developed by the Global Valuation Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”).

 

   

Fixed income investments are valued using the last available bid price or current market quotations provided by dealers or prices (including evaluated prices) supplied by approved independent third-party pricing services. The pricing services may use matrix pricing or valuation models that utilize certain inputs and assumptions to derive values, including transaction data, credit quality information, perceived market movements, news, and other relevant information and by other methods, which may include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; general market conditions; and/or other factors and assumptions. Pricing services

iSHARES® TRUST

 

 

generally value fixed income securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in such securities in smaller odd lot sizes. Odd lots may trade at lower prices than institutional round lots.

 

    Open-end U.S. mutual funds (including money market funds) are valued at that day’s published net asset value (“NAV”).

In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the fair value of such investment or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued by the Global Valuation Committee, in accordance with policies approved by the Board. The fair valuation approaches that may be utilized by the Global Valuation Committee to determine fair value include market approach, income approach and the cost approach. The valuation techniques used under these approaches take into consideration inputs that include but are not limited to (i) attributes specific to the investment; (ii) the principal market for the investment; (iii) the customary participants in the principal market for the investment; (iv) data assumptions by market participants for the investment, if reasonably available; (v) quoted prices for similar investments in active markets; and (vi) other inputs, such as future cash flows, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and/or default rates. Valuations based on such inputs are reported to the Board on a quarterly basis.

The Global Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating valuation approaches for investments where an active market does not exist, including regular due diligence of the Trust’s pricing vendors, a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing or stale prices, reviews of large movements in market values, and reviews of market related activity.

Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund’s NAV and the prices used by the Fund’s underlying index, which in turn could result in a difference between the Fund’s performance and the performance of the Fund’s underlying index.

Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of financial instruments. Inputs may be based on independent market data (“observable inputs”) or they may be internally developed (“unobservable inputs”). These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial reporting purposes as follows:

 

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

 

    Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and

 

    Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, including the Global Valuation Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments.

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgement exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The fair value hierarchy for each Fund’s investments is included in its schedule of investments.

iSHARES® TRUST

 

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the fair value hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of values determined for financial instruments are based on the pricing transparency of the financial instruments and are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, and payment-in-kind interest income, if any are recognized daily on the accrual basis. Dividend income and capital gain distributions, if any, are recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dividends and distributions paid by each Fund are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Dividends and distributions are paid in U.S. dollars and cannot be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Funds.

LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

Each Fund may lend its investment securities to approved borrowers, such as brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges and maintains with the Fund collateral consisting of cash, an irrevocable letter of credit issued by an approved bank, or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government. The initial collateral received by each Fund is required to have a value of at least 102% of the current value of the loaned securities for securities traded on U.S. exchanges and a value of at least 105% for all other securities. The collateral is maintained thereafter at a value equal to at least 100% of the current value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day of the Funds. Any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds and any excess collateral is returned by the Funds on the next business day. During the term of the loan, each Fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities but does not receive interest income on securities received as collateral. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.

Cash received as collateral for securities on loan may be reinvested in certain short-term instruments either directly on behalf of a fund or through one or more joint accounts or money market funds, including those managed by BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BFA”), the Funds’ investment adviser, or its affiliates. As of February 28, 2018, any securities on loan were collateralized by cash and/or U.S. government obligations. Cash collateral received was invested in money market funds managed by BFA and is disclosed in the schedules of investments. Any non-cash collateral received cannot be sold, re-invested or pledged by the Fund, except in the event of borrower default. The securities on loan for each Fund are also disclosed in its schedule of investments. The total value of any securities on loan as of February 28, 2018 and the total value of the related cash collateral are disclosed in the statements of assets and liabilities. Income earned by the Funds from securities lending is disclosed in the statements of operations.

The risks of securities lending include the risk that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due. To mitigate these risks, the Funds benefit from a borrower default indemnity provided by BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). BlackRock’s indemnity allows for full replacement of securities loaned if the collateral received does not cover the value of the securities loaned in the event of borrower default. Each Fund could incur a loss if the value of an

investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the loaned securities or if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the original cash collateral received.

Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Funds under Master Securities Lending Agreements (“MSLA”) which provide the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency) for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate a net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. In the event that a borrower defaults, a Fund, as lender, would offset the market value of the collateral received against the market value of the securities loaned. The value of the collateral is typically greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, leaving the lender with a net amount payable to the defaulting party. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of an MSLA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Under the MSLA, the borrower can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities, and a Fund can reinvest cash collateral, or, upon an event of default, resell or re-pledge the collateral.

The following table is a summary of securities lending agreements which are subject to offset under an MSLA as of February 28, 2018:

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARD

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update “Premium Amortization on Purchase Callable Debt Securities” which amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities. Under the new guidance, premium amortization of purchased callable debt securities that have explicit, non-contingent call features and are callable at fixed prices will be amortized to the earliest call date. The guidance will be applied on a modified retrospective basis and is effective for fiscal years, and their interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance to the Funds.

 

2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Trust, BFA manages the investment of each Fund’s assets. BFA is a California corporation indirectly owned by BlackRock. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, BFA is responsible for substantially all expenses of the Funds, except (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other expenses connected

iSHARES® TRUST

 

with the execution of portfolio transactions; (iii) distribution fees; (iv) the advisory fee payable to BFA; and (v) litigation expenses and any extraordinary expenses (in each case as determined by a majority of the independent trustees).

For its investment advisory services to each Fund, BFA is entitled to an annual investment advisory fee, accrued daily and paid monthly by the Funds, based on the average daily net assets of each Fund as follows:

 

iShares ETF    Investment
Advisory Fee
 

Edge High Yield Defensive Bond

     0.35

Edge Investment Grade Enhanced Bond

     0.18  

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has issued an exemptive order which permits BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, N.A. (“BTC”), an affiliate of BFA, to serve as securities lending agent for the Funds, subject to applicable conditions. As securities lending agent, BTC bears all operational costs directly related to securities lending. Each Fund is responsible for fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral received for securities on loan in a money market fund managed by BFA, however, BTC has agreed to reduce the amount of securities lending income it receives in order to effectively limit the collateral investment fees each Fund bears to an annual rate of 0.04% (the “collateral investment fees”). Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral (excluding collateral investment fees), net of fees and other payments to and from borrowers of securities. The Funds retain a portion of securities lending income and remit the remaining portion to BTC as compensation for its services as securities lending agent.

Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, each Fund retains 80% of securities lending income and the amount retained can never be less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees. In addition, commencing the business day following the date that the aggregate securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees generated across all 1940 Act iShares exchange-traded funds (the “iShares ETF Complex”) in a given calendar year exceeds the aggregate securities lending income generated across the iShares ETF Complex in the calendar year 2013, each Fund, pursuant to a securities lending agreement, will retain for the remainder of that calendar year 85% of securities lending income and the amount retained can never be less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees.

For the period ended February 28, 2018, the total of securities lending agent services and collateral investment fees paid were as follows:

BlackRock Investments, LLC, an affiliate of BFA, is the distributor for each Fund. Pursuant to the distribution agreement, BFA is responsible for any fees or expenses for distribution services provided to the Funds.

BlackRock Index Services, LLC, an affiliate of BFA, creates, sponsors and publishes the underlying index for each Fund. Each Fund uses its underlying index at no charge pursuant to a license agreement between BlackRock Index Services, LLC (or one or more of its affiliates) and the Trust, on behalf of the Fund.

Each Fund may invest its positive cash balances in certain money market funds managed by BFA or an affiliate. The income earned on these temporary cash investments is included in “Dividends – affiliated” in the statements of operations.

It is possible that, from time to time, BlackRock and/or funds managed by BFA or an affiliate (collectively, “Affiliates”) may purchase and hold shares of a Fund. Affiliates reserve the right, subject to compliance with applicable law, to sell into the market or redeem in Creation Units through an authorized participant at any time some or all of the shares of a Fund acquired for their own accounts. A large sale or redemption of shares of a Fund by Affiliates could significantly reduce the asset size of the Fund, which might have an adverse effect on the Fund. As of February 28, 2018, the number of affiliated accounts that individually that individually represent more than 10% ownership of a Fund’s total shares outstanding and the aggregate percentage of net assets represented by such holdings were as follows:

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is the largest stockholder of BlackRock and is considered to be an affiliate of the Funds for 1940 Act purposes.

Certain trustees and officers of the Trust are also officers of BTC and/or BFA.

 

3. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of investments (excluding in-kind transactions and short-term investments) for the period ended February 28, 2018 were as follows:

 

iShares ETF    Purchases      Sales  

Edge High Yield Defensive Bond

   $ 15,903,163      $ 3,766,772  

Edge Investment Grade Enhanced Bond

     13,420,161        3,589,793  

There were no in-kind transactions (see Note 4) for the period ended February 28, 2018.

 

4. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

Capital shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in aggregations of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”) at NAV. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the statements of changes in net assets.

The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a fund in the Trust generally consists of the in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of securities and a specified amount of cash. Certain funds in the Trust may be offered in Creation Units solely or partially for cash in U.S. dollars. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s administrator, to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units, including Creation Units for cash. Investors transacting in Creation Units for cash may also pay an additional variable charge to compensate the relevant fund for certain transaction costs (i.e., stamp taxes, taxes on currency or other financial transactions, and brokerage costs) and market impact expenses relating to investing in portfolio securities. Such variable charges, if any, are included in “Proceeds from shares sold” in the statements of changes in net assets.

5. PRINCIPAL RISKS

In the normal course of business, each Fund invests in securities or other instruments and may enter into certain transactions, and such activities subject the Fund to various risks, including, among others, fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of an issuer to meet all of its obligations. The value of securities or other instruments may also be affected by various factors, including, without limitation: (i) the general economy; (ii) the overall market as well as local, regional or global political and/or social instability; (iii) regulation, taxation or international tax treaties between various countries; or (iv) currency, interest rate or price fluctuations. Each Fund’s prospectus provides details of the risks to which the Fund is subject.

BFA uses a “passive” or index approach to try to achieve each Fund’s investment objective following the securities included in its underlying index during upturns as well as downturns. BFA does not take steps to reduce market exposure or to lessen the effects of a declining market. Divergence from the underlying index and the composition of the portfolio is monitored by BFA.

MARKET RISK

Market risk arises mainly from uncertainty about future values of financial instruments influenced by price, currency and interest rate movements. It represents the potential loss a fund may suffer through holding market positions in the face of market movements. A fund is exposed to market risk by its investment in equity, fixed income and/or financial derivative instruments or by its investment in underlying funds. The fair value of securities held by a fund may decline due to general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuers of the securities including local, regional or global political, social or economic instability or to factors that affect a particular industry or group of industries. The extent of a fund’s exposure to market risk is the market value of the investments held as shown in the fund’s schedule of investments.

A diversified portfolio, where this is appropriate and consistent with a fund’s objectives, minimizes the risk that a price change of a particular investment will have a material impact on the NAV of a fund. The investment concentrations within each Fund’s portfolio are disclosed in its schedule of investments.

Investing in the securities of non-U.S. issuers involves certain considerations and risks not typically associated with securities of U.S. issuers. Such risks include, but are not limited to: differences in accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards; more substantial governmental involvement in the economy; higher inflation rates, greater social, economic and political uncertainties; possible nationalization or expropriation of assets; less availability of public information about issuers; imposition of withholding or other taxes; higher transaction and custody costs and delays in settlement procedures; and lower level of regulation of the securities markets and issuers. Non-U.S. securities may be less liquid, more difficult to value, and have greater price volatility due to exchange rate fluctuations. These and other risks are heightened for investments in issuers from countries with less developed capital markets.

Changes in market interest rates or economic conditions may affect the value and/or liquidity of fixed income investments. Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of bonds and other fixed-income securities will decrease as interest rates rise and increase as interest rates fall. Securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes, usually making their prices more volatile than those of securities with shorter durations. Given the environment of historically low interest rates, a fund may be subject to a greater risk of price losses if interest rates rise.

CREDIT RISK

Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or guarantor of debt instruments or the counterparty to a financial transaction, including derivatives contracts, repurchase agreements or loans of portfolio securities, is unable or unwilling to make timely interest and/or principal payments or to otherwise honor its obligations. BFA and its affiliates manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring

the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose a fund to issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of a fund’s exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to those financial assets is approximated by their value recorded in its statement of assets and liabilities.

High yield securities that are rated below investment-grade (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”) or are unrated may be deemed speculative, involve greater levels of risk than higher-rated securities of similar maturity and are more likely to default. High yield securities may be issued by less creditworthy issuers, and issuers of high yield securities may be unable to meet their interest or principal payment obligations. High yield securities are subject to extreme price fluctuations, may be less liquid than higher rated fixed-income securities, even under normal economic conditions, and frequently have redemption features.

 

6. INCOME TAX INFORMATION

Each Fund is treated as an entity separate from the Trust’s other funds for federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of each Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions applicable to regulated investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to annually distribute substantially all of its ordinary income and any net capital gains (taking into account any capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income and excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required.

The tax character of distributions paid during the period ended February 28, 2018 was as follows:

 

iShares ETF    2018  

Edge High Yield Defensive Bond

  

Ordinary income

   $ 341,777  
  

 

 

 

Edge Investment Grade Enhanced Bond

  a    The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) was attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

As of February 28, 2018, the Funds had non-expiring capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains as follows:

Management has analyzed tax laws and regulations and their application to the Funds as of February 28, 2018, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability in the Funds’ financial statements.

 

7. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On June 16, 2016, investors (the “Plaintiffs”) in certain iShares funds (iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF, iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF, iShares Core S&P 500 ETF, iShares Russell Mid-Cap Growth ETF, iShares Russell Mid-Cap ETF, iShares Russell Mid-Cap Value ETF, iShares Select Dividend ETF, iShares Morningstar Mid-Cap ETF, iShares Morningstar Large-Cap ETF, iShares U.S. Aerospace & Defense ETF and iShares U.S. Preferred Stock ETF) filed a putative class action lawsuit against iShares Trust, BlackRock, Inc. and certain of its advisory affiliates, and certain directors/trustees and officers of the Funds (collectively, “Defendants”) in California State Court. The lawsuit alleges the Defendants violated federal securities laws by failing to adequately disclose in the prospectuses issued by the funds noted above the risks of using stop-loss orders in the event of a ‘flash crash’, such as the one that occurred on May 6, 2010. On September 18, 2017, the court issued a Statement of Decision holding that the Plaintiffs lack standing to assert their claims. On October 11, 2017, the court entered final judgment dismissing all of the Plaintiffs’ claims with prejudice. Plaintiffs have appealed the court’s decision.

 

8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds through the date the financial statements were available to be issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of iShares Edge High Yield Defensive Bond ETF and iShares Edge Investment Grade Enhanced Bond ETF (two of the funds constituting iShares Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of February 28, 2018, the related statements of operations and changes in net assets, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for the period July 11, 2017 (commencement of operations) through February 28, 2018 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of February 28, 2018, and the results of each of their operations, changes in each of their net assets, and each of the financial highlights for the period July 11, 2017 (commencement of operations) through February 28, 2018 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of February 28, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent 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 opinions.

Premium/Discount Information

The Premium/Discount Information section is intended to present information about the differences between the daily market price on secondary markets for shares of a fund and that fund’s NAV. NAV is the price at which a fund issues and redeems shares. It is calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The “Market Price” of a fund generally is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest ask on the primary securities exchange on which shares of such fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the fund’s NAV is calculated. A fund’s Market Price may be at, above or below its NAV. The NAV of a fund will fluctuate with changes in the value of its portfolio holdings. The Market Price of a fund will fluctuate in accordance with changes in its NAV, as well as market supply and demand.

Premiums or discounts are the differences (expressed as a percentage) between the NAV and Market Price of a fund on a given day, generally at the time the NAV is calculated. A premium is the amount that a fund is trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. A discount is the amount that a fund is trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV.

Premium/discount information for the Funds covering the most recently completed calendar year and the most recently completed calendar quarters since that year (or the life of the Fund, if shorter) is publicly accessible, free of charge, at www.iShares.com.

Trustee and Officer Information

iSHARES® TRUST

 

The Board of Trustees has responsibility for the overall management and operations of the Funds, including general supervision of the duties performed by BFA and other service providers. Each Trustee serves until he or she resigns, is removed, dies, retires or becomes incapacitated. Each officer shall hold office until his or her successor is elected and qualifies or until his or her death, resignation or removal. Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust are referred to as independent trustees (“Independent Trustees”).

The registered investment companies advised by BFA or its affiliates (the “BlackRock-advised Funds”) are organized into one complex of closed-end funds, two complexes of open-end funds and one complex of exchange-traded funds (“Exchange-Traded Fund Complex”) (each, a “BlackRock Fund Complex”). Each Fund is included in the BlackRock Fund Complex referred to as the Exchange-Traded Fund Complex. Each Trustee also serves as a Director of iShares, Inc. and a Trustee of iShares U.S. ETF Trust and, as a result, oversees a total of 347 funds (as of February 28, 2018) within the Exchange-Traded Fund Complex. Drew E. Lawton, from October 2016 to June 2017, and Richard L. Fagnani, from April 2017 to June 2017, served as a member of the advisory board (“Advisory Board,” members of which are “Advisory Board Members”) for iShares Trust, iShares, Inc. and iShares U.S. ETF Trust with respect to all funds within the Exchange-Traded Fund Complex. With the exception of Robert S. Kapito, Mark K. Wiedman, Charles Park, Martin Small and Benjamin Archibald, the address of each Trustee, and officer is c/o BlackRock, Inc., 400 Howard Street, San Francisco, CA 94105.

U.S. CORPORATE BOND MARKET OVERVIEW

Investment-grade U.S. corporate bonds issued by companies with positive environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) characteristics gained fractionally during the period from July 11, 2017 to February 28, 2018 (“reporting period”). The Bloomberg Barclays MSCI U.S. Corporate ESG Focus Index, a measure of U.S. corporate ESG bond performance, returned 0.09% for the reporting period, compared with a 0.03% return for the broad Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate Index.

The primary factors affecting bond market performance during the reporting period were a strengthening U.S. economy and federal tax reform. The final nine months of 2017 were the strongest three consecutive quarters of economic growth in more than 12 years. Key economic drivers included an increase in manufacturing activity and the lowest unemployment rate since December 2000.

In December 2017, the U.S. government passed federal tax reform legislation that included a steep reduction in corporate tax rates and a modest decrease in individual tax rates. The tax reform improved investors’ expectations for capital spending and economic growth, but it also raised concerns about federal budget deficits and higher inflation.

The annual consumer inflation rate remained near the 2% level targeted by the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank (“Fed”). However, signs of increasing inflation emerged late for the reporting period, including a sharp rise in energy prices and higher prices at the producer level. Inflation is typically measured in terms of both final (consumer) and intermediate (producer) goods; the Fed targets inflation in final goods.

In this environment, the Fed raised its short-term interest rate target once during the reporting period, to its highest level since October 2008. The Fed also began to reduce the amount of U.S. Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities on its balance sheet in October 2017. The interest rate increase and balance sheet reduction were part of the Fed’s plan to gradually reverse substantial economic stimulus measures, implemented in response to the 2008 credit crisis, and re-establish more normal monetary policy conditions.

A stronger economy, expectations of rising growth and inflation due to the tax cuts, and the Fed’s interest rate increases led to higher Treasury bond yields and lower bond prices during the reporting period, with yields rising most sharply for short-term bonds. Intermediate- and long-term bond yields advanced more modestly, with much of the increase occurring in early 2018 following the approval of federal tax reform legislation at the end of 2017. However, corporate bonds outperformed Treasury securities as the difference in yield between corporate and Treasury bonds narrowed during the reporting period across all maturities.

Corporate securities benefited from strong investor demand for yield during the reporting period, as well as shifts within pension plans and institutional investors from stocks to bonds in an attempt to reduce risk. At the same time, supply was comparatively limited; although overall issuance of corporate bonds hit a record high in 2017, net new corporate bond supply, which accounts for maturities and coupon payments of existing bonds, was lower in 2017 than either of the prior two years. In addition, federal tax reform made it less attractive for corporations to issue bonds and less costly to repatriate cash held overseas.

Corporate credit quality generally improved during the reporting period. Corporate earnings remained strong, which led to a reduction in the corporate debt-to-earnings ratio.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (Continued)

iSHARES® ESG 1-5 YEAR USD CORPORATE BOND ETF

 

The iShares ESG 1-5 Year USD Corporate Bond ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of short-term U.S. dollar-denominated, investment-grade corporate bonds issued by companies that have positive environmental, social and governance characteristics while exhibiting risk and return characteristics of the broader short-term corporate bond market, as represented by the Bloomberg Barclays MSCI U.S. Corporate 1-5 Year ESG Focus Index (the “Index”). The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the Index that collectively has an investment profile similar to the Index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the Fund may or may not hold all of the securities that are included in the Index. For the reporting period from July 11, 2017 (inception date of the Fund) through February 28, 2018, the total return for the Fund was -0.47%, net of fees, while the total return for the Index was -0.20%.

Among the investment-grade corporate bonds with maturity dates between one and five years issued by companies with positive ESG characteristics in the Index, bonds in the industrial sector were the largest detractors from the Index’s performance for the reporting period. Within the sector, consumer non-cyclical bonds detracted the most, as debt issued by consumer products, food and beverage, health care, and pharmaceuticals companies all weighed modestly on performance.

Bonds issued by financial companies with positive ESG characteristics also detracted slightly from the Index’s return for the reporting period. Within the financial sector, debt issued by banks was the primary detractor. Bank-issued debt was particularly affected by a selloff related to changes in the U.S. tax code. Tax rates for banks declined significantly beginning in 2018, but the late 2017 tax changes necessitated a one-time charge to bank earnings for the fourth quarter. Other modest detractors in the sector included finance companies, insurance firms, brokerages, asset managers, and exchanges.

On the upside, bonds issued by utilities companies with positive ESG characteristics made a small contribution to the Index’s performance for the reporting period. Within the sector, electric utilities were the leading contributors to return.

Looking at the Index’s performance by credit quality, strong investor demand for yield meant higher-yielding unrated and lower-rated securities outperformed the highest-rated bonds, which posted a negative return. Consequently, bonds rated A and Aa were the largest detractors from a credit perspective, while unrated bonds were solid contributors for the reporting period.

iSHARES® ESG USD CORPORATE BOND ETF

 

The iShares ESG USD Corporate Bond ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of U.S. dollar-denominated, investment-grade corporate bonds issued by companies that have positive environmental, social and governance characteristics while exhibiting risk and return characteristics of the broader corporate bond market, as represented by the Bloomberg Barclays MSCI U.S. Corporate ESG Focus Index (the “Index”). The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the Index that collectively has an investment profile similar to the Index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the Fund may or may not hold all of the securities that are included in the Index. For the reporting period from July 11, 2017 (inception date of the Fund) through February 28, 2018, the total return for the Fund was -0.11%, net of fees, while the total return for the Index was 0.09%.

Among the investment-grade corporate bonds issued by companies with positive ESG characteristics in the Index, bonds in the industrial sector contributed the majority of the return, led by energy companies. Steadily rising oil prices and a decline in bankruptcies in the oil and gas industry led to improved investor confidence in the ability of energy companies to service their debt, causing a surge in demand for bonds in the industry.

Bonds issued by companies in the utilities sector also contributed to the Index’s performance for the reporting period. Within the sector, securities issued by both electric and natural gas utilities made a modestly positive contribution to return.

Bonds issued by financial companies with positive ESG characteristics detracted slightly from the Index’s return for the reporting period. Within the financial sector, securities issued by finance companies and banks were the primary detractors. Bank-issued debt was particularly affected by a selloff related to changes in the U.S. tax code. Tax rates for banks declined significantly beginning in 2018, but the late 2017 tax changes necessitated a one-time charge to bank earnings for the fourth quarter. Diversified manufacturing companies and pharmaceuticals firms were other notable detractors from the Index’s return.

Looking at performance by credit quality, strong investor demand for yield meant higher-yielding unrated and lower-rated securities posted gains, while the highest-rated bonds had a negative return. Consequently, bonds rated Baa and lower contributed to the Index’s performance for the reporting period, while bonds rated A and higher detracted slightly from return.

About Fund Performance

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at www.ishares.com. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the redemption or sale of fund shares. The investment return and principal value of shares will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are redeemed or sold in the market. Performance for certain funds may reflect a waiver of a portion of investment advisory fees. Without such a waiver, performance would have been lower.

Net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of a fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such fund’s NAV is calculated. Certain funds may have a NAV which is determined prior to the opening of regular trading on its listed exchange and their market returns are calculated using the midpoint of the bid/ask spread as of the opening of regular trading on the exchange. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike a fund, an index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by a fund. These expenses negatively impact fund performance. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower.

Shareholder Expenses

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of fund shares and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses. The expense example, which is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on September 1, 2017 and held through February 28, 2018, is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

Actual Expenses — The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. Annualized expense ratios reflect contractual and voluntary fee waivers, if any. To estimate the expenses that you paid on your account over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number corresponding to your Fund under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The table also provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your 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 in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the hypothetical examples are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

iSHARES® TRUST

 

iShares 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 Trust was established as a Delaware statutory trust pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated December 16, 1999.

These financial statements relate only to the following funds (each, a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”):

 

iShares ETF   

Diversification

Classification

ESG 1-5 Year USD Corporate Bonda

   Non-diversified

ESG USD Corporate Bonda

   Non-diversified

 

  a    The Fund commenced operations on July 11, 2017.

The investment objective of each Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of its underlying index. The investment adviser uses a “passive” or index approach to try to achieve each Fund’s investment objective.

Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Funds’ officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise 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.

 

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by each Fund in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Fund is considered an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.

SECURITY VALUATION

Each Fund’s investments are valued at fair value each day that the Fund’s listing exchange is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the Fund’s listing exchange is not open. U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (the “Global Valuation Committee”) provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Funds. The investments of each Fund are valued pursuant to policies and procedures developed by the Global Valuation Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”).

 

   

Fixed income investments are valued using the last available bid price or current market quotations provided by dealers or prices (including evaluated prices) supplied by approved independent third-party pricing services. The pricing services may use matrix pricing or valuation models that utilize certain inputs and assumptions to derive values, including transaction data, credit quality information, perceived market movements, news, and other relevant information and by other methods, which may include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; general market conditions; and/or other factors and assumptions. Pricing services

generally value fixed income securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in such securities in smaller odd lot sizes. Odd lots may trade at lower prices than institutional round lots.

 

    Open-end U.S. mutual funds (including money market funds) are valued at that day’s published net asset value (“NAV”).

In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the fair value of such investment or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued by the Global Valuation Committee, in accordance with policies approved by the Board. The fair valuation approaches that may be utilized by the Global Valuation Committee to determine fair value include market approach, income approach and the cost approach. The valuation techniques used under these approaches take into consideration inputs that include but are not limited to (i) attributes specific to the investment; (ii) the principal market for the investment; (iii) the customary participants in the principal market for the investment; (iv) data assumptions by market participants for the investment, if reasonably available; (v) quoted prices for similar investments in active markets; and (vi) other inputs, such as future cash flows, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and/or default rates. Valuations based on such inputs are reported to the Board on a quarterly basis.

The Global Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating valuation approaches for investments where an active market does not exist, including regular due diligence of the Trust’s pricing vendors, a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing or stale prices, reviews of large movements in market values, and reviews of market related activity.

Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund’s NAV and the prices used by the Fund’s underlying index, which in turn could result in a difference between the Fund’s performance and the performance of the Fund’s underlying index.

Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of financial instruments. Inputs may be based on independent market data (“observable inputs”) or they may be internally developed (“unobservable inputs”). These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial reporting purposes as follows:

 

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

 

    Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and

 

    Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, including the Global Valuation Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments.

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgement exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The fair value hierarchy for each Fund’s investments is included in its schedule of investments.

iSHARES® TRUST

 

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the fair value hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of values determined for financial instruments are based on the pricing transparency of the financial instruments and are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, and payment-in-kind interest income, if any are recognized daily on the accrual basis. Dividend income and capital gain distributions, if any, are recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dividends and distributions paid by each Fund are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Dividends and distributions are paid in U.S. dollars and cannot be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Funds.

LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

Each Fund may lend its investment securities to approved borrowers, such as brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges and maintains with the Fund collateral consisting of cash, an irrevocable letter of credit issued by an approved bank, or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government. The initial collateral received by each Fund is required to have a value of at least 102% of the current value of the loaned securities for securities traded on U.S. exchanges and a value of at least 105% for all other securities. The collateral is maintained thereafter at a value equal to at least 100% of the current value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day of the Funds. Any additional required collateral is delivered to the Funds and any excess collateral is returned by the Funds on the next business day. During the term of the loan, each Fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities but does not receive interest income on securities received as collateral. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.

Cash received as collateral for securities on loan may be reinvested in certain short-term instruments either directly on behalf of a fund or through one or more joint accounts or money market funds, including those managed by BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BFA”), the Funds’ investment adviser, or its affiliates. As of February 28, 2018, any securities on loan were collateralized by cash and/or U.S. government obligations. Cash collateral received was invested in money market funds managed by BFA and is disclosed in the schedules of investments. Any non-cash collateral received cannot be sold, re-invested or pledged by the Fund, except in the event of borrower default. The securities on loan for each Fund are also disclosed in its schedule of investments. The total value of any securities on loan as of February 28, 2018 and the total value of the related cash collateral are disclosed in the statements of assets and liabilities. Income earned by the Funds from securities lending is disclosed in the statements of operations.

The risks of securities lending include the risk that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due. To mitigate these risks, the Funds benefit from a borrower default indemnity provided by BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). BlackRock’s indemnity allows for full replacement of securities loaned if the collateral received does not cover the value of the securities loaned in the event of borrower default. Each Fund could incur a loss if the value of an

investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the loaned securities or if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the original cash collateral received.

Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Funds under Master Securities Lending Agreements (“MSLA”) which provide the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency) for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate a net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. In the event that a borrower defaults, a Fund, as lender, would offset the market value of the collateral received against the market value of the securities loaned. The value of the collateral is typically greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, leaving the lender with a net amount payable to the defaulting party. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of an MSLA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Under the MSLA, the borrower can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities, and a Fund can reinvest cash collateral, or, upon an event of default, resell or re-pledge the collateral.

The following table is a summary of securities lending agreements which are subject to offset under an MSLA as of February 28, 2018:

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARD

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update “Premium Amortization on Purchase Callable Debt Securities” which amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities. Under the new guidance, premium amortization of purchased callable debt securities that have explicit, non-contingent call features and are callable at fixed prices will be amortized to the earliest call date. The guidance will be applied on a modified retrospective basis and is effective for fiscal years, and their interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance to the Funds.

 

2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Trust, BFA manages the investment of each Fund’s assets. BFA is a California corporation indirectly owned by BlackRock. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, BFA is responsible for substantially all expenses of the Funds, except (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other expenses connected

with the execution of portfolio transactions; (iii) distribution fees; (iv) the advisory fee payable to BFA; and (v) litigation expenses and any extraordinary expenses (in each case as determined by a majority of the independent trustees).

For its investment advisory services to each Fund, BFA is entitled to an annual investment advisory fee, accrued daily and paid monthly by the Funds, based on the average daily net assets of each Fund as follows:

 

iShares ETF    Investment
Advisory Fee
 

ESG 1-5 Year USD Corporate Bond

     0.12

ESG USD Corporate Bond

     0.18  

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has issued an exemptive order which permits BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, N.A. (“BTC”), an affiliate of BFA, to serve as securities lending agent for the Funds, subject to applicable conditions. As securities lending agent, BTC bears all operational costs directly related to securities lending. Each Fund is responsible for fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral received for securities on loan in a money market fund managed by BFA, however, BTC has agreed to reduce the amount of securities lending income it receives in order to effectively limit the collateral investment fees each Fund bears to an annual rate of 0.04% (the “collateral investment fees”). Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral (excluding collateral investment fees), net of fees and other payments to and from borrowers of securities. The Funds retain a portion of securities lending income and remit the remaining portion to BTC as compensation for its services as securities lending agent.

Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, each Fund retains 80% of securities lending income and the amount retained can never be less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees. In addition, commencing the business day following the date that the aggregate securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees generated across all 1940 Act iShares exchange-traded funds (the “iShares ETF Complex”) in a given calendar year exceeds the aggregate securities lending income generated across the iShares ETF Complex in the calendar year 2013, each Fund, pursuant to a securities lending agreement, will retain for the remainder of that calendar year 85% of securities lending income and the amount retained can never be less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees.

For the period ended February 28, 2018, the total of securities lending agent services and collateral investment fees paid were as follows:

 

iShares ETF   Fees Paid
to BTC
 

ESG 1-5 Year USD Corporate Bond

  $ 131  

ESG USD Corporate Bond

    146  
 

 

BlackRock Investments, LLC, an affiliate of BFA, is the distributor for each Fund. Pursuant to the distribution agreement, BFA is responsible for any fees or expenses for distribution services provided to the Funds.

Each Fund may invest its positive cash balances in certain money market funds managed by BFA or an affiliate. The income earned on these temporary cash investments is included in “Dividends – affiliated” in the statements of operations.

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is the largest stockholder of BlackRock and is considered to be an affiliate of the Funds for 1940 Act purposes.

Certain trustees and officers of the Trust are also officers of BTC and/or BFA.

4. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

Capital shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in aggregations of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”) at NAV. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the statements of changes in net assets.

The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a fund in the Trust generally consists of the in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of securities and a specified amount of cash. Certain funds in the Trust may be offered in Creation Units solely or partially for cash in U.S. dollars. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s administrator, to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units, including Creation Units for cash. Investors transacting in Creation Units for cash may also pay an additional variable charge to compensate the relevant fund for certain transaction costs (i.e., stamp taxes, taxes on currency or other financial transactions, and brokerage costs) and market impact expenses relating to investing in portfolio securities. Such variable charges, if any, are included in “Proceeds from shares sold” in the statements of changes in net assets.

 

5. PRINCIPAL RISKS

In the normal course of business, each Fund invests in securities or other instruments and may enter into certain transactions, and such activities subject the Fund to various risks, including, among others, fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of an issuer to meet all of its obligations. The value of securities or other instruments may also be affected by various factors, including, without limitation: (i) the general economy; (ii) the overall market as well as local, regional or global political and/or social instability; (iii) regulation, taxation or international tax treaties between various countries; or (iv) currency, interest rate or price fluctuations. Each Fund’s prospectus provides details of the risks to which the Fund is subject.

BFA uses a “passive” or index approach to try to achieve each Fund’s investment objective following the securities included in its underlying index during upturns as well as downturns. BFA does not take steps to reduce market exposure or to lessen the effects of a declining market. Divergence from the underlying index and the composition of the portfolio is monitored by BFA.

MARKET RISK

Market risk arises mainly from uncertainty about future values of financial instruments influenced by price, currency and interest rate movements. It represents the potential loss a fund may suffer through holding market positions in the face of market movements. A fund is exposed to market risk by its investment in equity, fixed income and/or financial derivative instruments or by its investment in underlying funds. The fair value of securities held by a fund may decline due to general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuers of the securities including local, regional or global political, social or economic instability or to factors that affect a particular industry or group of industries. The extent of a fund’s exposure to market risk is the market value of the investments held as shown in the fund’s schedule of investments.

A diversified portfolio, where this is appropriate and consistent with a fund’s objectives, minimizes the risk that a price change of a particular investment will have a material impact on the NAV of a fund. The investment concentrations within each Fund’s portfolio are disclosed in its schedule of investments.

Investing in the securities of non-U.S. issuers involves certain considerations and risks not typically associated with securities of U.S. issuers. Such risks include, but are not limited to: differences in accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards; more substantial governmental involvement in the economy; higher inflation rates, greater social, economic and political uncertainties; possible nationalization or expropriation of assets; less availability of public information about issuers; imposition of withholding or other taxes; higher transaction and custody costs and delays in settlement procedures; and lower level of regulation of the securities markets and issuers. Non-U.S. securities may be less liquid, more difficult to value, and have greater price volatility due to exchange rate fluctuations. These and other risks are heightened for investments in issuers from countries with less developed capital markets.

Changes in market interest rates or economic conditions may affect the value and/or liquidity of fixed income investments. Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of bonds and other fixed-income securities will decrease as interest rates rise and increase as interest rates fall. Securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes, usually making their prices more volatile than those of securities with shorter durations. Given the environment of historically low interest rates, a fund may be subject to a greater risk of price losses if interest rates rise.

CREDIT RISK

Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or guarantor of debt instruments or the counterparty to a financial transaction, including derivatives contracts, repurchase agreements or loans of portfolio securities, is unable or unwilling to make timely interest and/or principal payments or to otherwise honor its obligations. BFA and its affiliates manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose a fund to issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of a fund’s exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to those financial assets is approximated by their value recorded in its statement of assets and liabilities.

 

6. INCOME TAX INFORMATION

Each Fund is treated as an entity separate from the Trust’s other funds for federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of each Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions applicable to regulated investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to annually distribute substantially all of its ordinary income and any net capital gains (taking into account any capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income and excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required.

Management has analyzed tax laws and regulations and their application to the Funds as of February 28, 2018, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability in the Funds’ financial statements.

 

7. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

(collectively, “Defendants”) in California State Court. The lawsuit alleges the Defendants violated federal securities laws by failing to adequately disclose in the prospectuses issued by the funds noted above the risks of using stop-loss orders in the event of a ‘flash crash’, such as the one that occurred on May 6, 2010. On September 18, 2017, the court issued a Statement of Decision holding that the Plaintiffs lack standing to assert their claims. On October 11, 2017, the court entered final judgment dismissing all of the Plaintiffs’ claims with prejudice. Plaintiffs have appealed the court’s decision.

 

8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds through the date the financial statements were available to be issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Trustees of iShares Trust and Shareholders of

iShares ESG 1-5 Year USD Corporate Bond ETF and

iShares ESG USD Corporate Bond ETF

Opinions on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of iShares ESG 1-5 Year USD Corporate Bond ETF and iShares ESG USD Corporate Bond ETF (two of the funds constituting iShares Trust, hereafter collectively referred to as the “Funds”) as of February 28, 2018, the related statements of operations and changes in net assets, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for the period July 11, 2017 (commencement of operations) through February 28, 2018 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of February 28, 2018, and the results of each of their operations, changes in each of their net assets, and each of the financial highlights for the period July 11, 2017 (commencement of operations) through February 28, 2018 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinions

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of February 28, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent 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 opinions.

Premium/Discount Information

The Premium/Discount Information section is intended to present information about the differences between the daily market price on secondary markets for shares of a fund and that fund’s NAV. NAV is the price at which a fund issues and redeems shares. It is calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The “Market Price” of a fund generally is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest ask on the primary securities exchange on which shares of such fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the fund’s NAV is calculated. A fund’s Market Price may be at, above or below its NAV. The NAV of a fund will fluctuate with changes in the value of its portfolio holdings. The Market Price of a fund will fluctuate in accordance with changes in its NAV, as well as market supply and demand.

Premiums or discounts are the differences (expressed as a percentage) between the NAV and Market Price of a fund on a given day, generally at the time the NAV is calculated. A premium is the amount that a fund is trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. A discount is the amount that a fund is trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV.

U.S. CREDIT BOND MARKET OVERVIEW

U.S. investment-grade, credit-sensitive bond performance was positive during the 12 months ended February 28, 2018 (“reporting period”). The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Credit Bond Index, a measure of U.S. dollar-denominated credit-sensitive bond performance, returned 2.12% for the reporting period, compared with the 0.51% return of the broad Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. Credit-sensitive bonds tend to react to changes in the economy or other factors that affect the issuer’s ability to meet its debt obligations.

The primary factors affecting bond market performance during the reporting period were a strengthening U.S. economy and federal tax reform. The final nine months of 2017 were the strongest three consecutive quarters of economic growth in more than 12 years. Key economic drivers included an increase in manufacturing activity and the lowest unemployment rate since December 2000.

In December 2017, the U.S. government passed federal tax reform legislation that included a steep reduction in corporate tax rates and a modest decrease in individual tax rates. The tax reform improved investors’ expectations for capital spending and economic growth, but it also raised concerns about federal budget deficits and higher inflation.

The annual consumer inflation rate remained near the 2% level targeted by the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank (“Fed”). However, signs of increasing inflation emerged late in the reporting period, including a sharp rise in energy prices and higher prices at the producer level. Inflation is typically measured in terms of both final (consumer) and intermediate (producer) goods; the Fed targets inflation in final goods.

In this environment, the Fed raised its short-term interest rate target three times during the reporting period to its highest level since October 2008. The Fed also began to reduce the amount of U.S. Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities on its balance sheet in October 2017. The interest rate increases and balance sheet reduction were part of the Fed’s plan to gradually reverse substantial economic stimulus measures, implemented in response to the 2008 credit crisis, and re-establish more normal monetary policy conditions.

A stronger economy, expectations of rising growth and inflation due to the tax cuts, and the Fed’s interest rate increases led to higher Treasury bond yields and lower bond prices, particularly in the latter half of the reporting period. However, credit-sensitive investment-grade bonds outperformed Treasury bonds as the difference in yield between credit-sensitive bonds and Treasury securities narrowed during the reporting period.

The performance of credit-sensitive bonds was a consequence of strong investor demand for yield. In particular, credit-sensitive bonds with lower credit ratings, which tend to have the highest yields, were the best performers for the reporting period, bolstered by the strong fundamentals of the domestic economy and a relatively low amount of defaults. Reflecting the Fed’s actions and investor demand, yields on short-term securities rose, while those on longer-term bonds were little changed. Consequently, the shortest-term credit-sensitive bonds posted modest gains, while intermediate- and longer-term securities generated stronger returns.

While overall issuance of corporate bonds hit a record high in 2017, net new corporate bond supply (which accounts for maturities and coupon payments of existing bonds) was lower than in either of the prior two years. In addition, federal tax reform made it less attractive for corporations to issue bonds and less costly to repatriate cash held overseas.

Among credit-sensitive bonds, U.S. corporate securities generated the best returns for the reporting period. U.S. dollar-denominated foreign bonds also advanced, helped by strong investor demand and healthy economic growth in emerging and developed markets.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (Continued)

iSHARES® INTERMEDIATE CREDIT BOND ETF

 

The iShares Intermediate Credit Bond ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of U.S. dollar-denominated, investment-grade corporate, sovereign, supranational, local authority and non-U.S. agency bonds with remaining maturities between one and ten years, as represented by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Intermediate Credit Bond Index (the “Index”). The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the Index that collectively has an investment profile similar to the Index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the Fund may or may not hold all of the securities that are included in the Index. For the 12-month reporting period ended February 28, 2018, the total return for the Fund was 0.87%, net of fees, while the total return for the Index was 1.02%.

About Fund Performance

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at www.ishares.com. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the redemption or sale of fund shares. The investment return and principal value of shares will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are redeemed or sold in the market. Performance for certain funds may reflect a waiver of a portion of investment advisory fees. Without such a waiver, performance would have been lower.

Net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of a fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such fund’s NAV is calculated. Certain funds may have a NAV which is determined prior to the opening of regular trading on its listed exchange and their market returns are calculated using the midpoint of the bid/ask spread as of the opening of regular trading on the exchange. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike a fund, an index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by a fund. These expenses negatively impact fund performance. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower.

Shareholder Expenses

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of fund shares and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses. The expense example, which is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on September 1, 2017 and held through February 28, 2018, is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

Actual Expenses — The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. Annualized expense ratios reflect contractual and voluntary fee waivers, if any. To estimate the expenses that you paid on your account over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The table also 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. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your 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 in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the hypothetical examples are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to Financial Statements

iSHARES® INTERMEDIATE CREDIT BOND ETF

 

iShares 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 Trust was established as a Delaware statutory trust pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated December 16, 1999.

These financial statements relate only to the following fund (the “Fund”):

 

iShares ETF   

Diversification

Classification

Intermediate Credit Bond

   Diversified

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of its underlying index. The investment adviser uses a “passive” or index approach to try to achieve the Fund’s investment objective.

Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Fund’s officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise 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.

 

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund is considered an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.

SECURITY VALUATION

The Fund’s investments are valued at fair value each day that the Fund’s listing exchange is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the Fund’s listing exchange is not open. U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (the “Global Valuation Committee”) provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Fund. The investments of the Fund are valued pursuant to policies and procedures developed by the Global Valuation Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”).

 

   

Fixed income investments are valued using the last available bid price or current market quotations provided by dealers or prices (including evaluated prices) supplied by approved independent third-party pricing services. The pricing services may use matrix pricing or valuation models that utilize certain inputs and assumptions to derive values, including transaction data, credit quality information, perceived market movements, news, and other relevant information and by other methods, which may include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; general market conditions; and/or other factors and assumptions. Pricing services

generally value fixed income securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in such securities in smaller odd lot sizes. Odd lots may trade at lower prices than institutional round lots.

 

    Open-end U.S. mutual funds (including money market funds) are valued at that day’s published net asset value (“NAV”).

In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the fair value of such investment or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued by the Global Valuation Committee, in accordance with policies approved by the Board. The fair valuation approaches that may be utilized by the Global Valuation Committee to determine fair value include market approach, income approach and the cost approach. The valuation techniques used under these approaches take into consideration inputs that include but are not limited to (i) attributes specific to the investment; (ii) the principal market for the investment; (iii) the customary participants in the principal market for the investment; (iv) data assumptions by market participants for the investment, if reasonably available; (v) quoted prices for similar investments in active markets; and (vi) other inputs, such as future cash flows, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and/or default rates. Valuations based on such inputs are reported to the Board on a quarterly basis.

The Global Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating valuation approaches for investments where an active market does not exist, including regular due diligence of the Trust’s pricing vendors, a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing or stale prices, reviews of large movements in market values, and reviews of market related activity.

Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate the Fund’s NAV and the prices used by the Fund’s underlying index, which in turn could result in a difference between the Fund’s performance and the performance of the Fund’s underlying index.

Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of financial instruments. Inputs may be based on independent market data (“observable inputs”) or they may be internally developed (“unobservable inputs”). These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial reporting purposes as follows:

 

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

 

    Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and

 

    Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, including the Global Valuation Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments.

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgement exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The fair value hierarchy for the Fund’s investments is included in its schedule of investments.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the fair value hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of values determined for financial instruments are based on the pricing transparency of the financial instruments and are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, and payment-in-kind interest income, if any are recognized daily on the accrual basis. Dividend income and capital gain distributions, if any, are recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dividends and distributions paid by the Fund are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Dividends and distributions are paid in U.S. dollars and cannot be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Fund.

LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

The Fund may lend its investment securities to approved borrowers, such as brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges and maintains with the Fund collateral consisting of cash, an irrevocable letter of credit issued by an approved bank, or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government. The initial collateral received by the Fund is required to have a value of at least 102% of the current value of the loaned securities for securities traded on U.S. exchanges and a value of at least 105% for all other securities. The collateral is maintained thereafter at a value equal to at least 100% of the current value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day of the Fund. Any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund and any excess collateral is returned by the Fund on the next business day. During the term of the loan, the Fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities but does not receive interest income on securities received as collateral. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.

Cash received as collateral for securities on loan may be reinvested in certain short-term instruments either directly on behalf of a fund or through one or more joint accounts or money market funds, including those managed by BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BFA”), the Fund’s investment adviser, or its affiliates. As of February 28, 2018, any securities on loan were collateralized by cash and/or U.S. government obligations. Cash collateral received was invested in money market funds managed by BFA and is disclosed in the schedule of investments. Any non-cash collateral received cannot be sold, re-invested or pledged by the Fund, except in the event of borrower default. The securities on loan for the Fund are also disclosed in its schedule of investments. The total value of any securities on loan as of February 28, 2018 and the total value of the related cash collateral are disclosed in the statement of assets and liabilities. Income earned by the Fund from securities lending is disclosed in the statement of operations.

The risks of securities lending include the risk that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due. To mitigate these risks, the Fund benefits from a borrower default indemnity provided by BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). BlackRock’s indemnity allows for full replacement of securities loaned if the collateral received does not cover the value of the securities loaned in the event of borrower default. The Fund could incur a loss if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the loaned securities or if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the original cash collateral received.

Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Fund under Master Securities Lending Agreements (“MSLA”) which provide the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency) for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate a net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. In the event that a borrower defaults, the Fund, as lender, would offset the market value of the collateral received against the market value of the securities loaned. The value of the collateral is typically greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, leaving the lender with a net amount payable to the defaulting party. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of an MSLA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Under the MSLA, the borrower can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities, and the Fund can reinvest cash collateral, or, upon an event of default, resell or re-pledge the collateral.

The following table is a summary of securities lending agreements which are subject to offset under an MSLA as of February 28, 2018:

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARD

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update “Premium Amortization on Purchase Callable Debt Securities” which amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities. Under the new guidance, premium amortization of purchased callable debt securities that have explicit, non-contingent call features and are callable at fixed prices will be amortized to the earliest call date. The guidance will be applied on a modified retrospective

basis and is effective for fiscal years, and their interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance to the Fund.

 

2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Trust, BFA manages the investment of the Fund’s assets. BFA is a California corporation indirectly owned by BlackRock. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, BFA is responsible for substantially all expenses of the Fund, except (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with the execution of portfolio transactions; (iii) distribution fees; (iv) the advisory fee payable to BFA; and (v) litigation expenses and any extraordinary expenses (in each case as determined by a majority of the independent trustees).

For its investment advisory services to the Fund, BFA is entitled to an annual investment advisory fee, accrued daily and paid monthly by the Fund, based on the Fund’s allocable portion of the aggregate of the average daily net assets of the Fund and certain other iShares funds, as follows:

 

Investment Advisory Fee      Aggregate Average Daily Net Assets
    0.2000%       

First $121 billion

    0.1900a     

Over $121 billion, up to and including $181  billion

    0.1805a     

Over $181 billion, up to and including $231  billion

    0.1715a     

Over $231 billion, up to and including $281  billion

    0.1630a     

Over $281 billion

 

  a    Investment advisory fee level reflects a 5% reduction (rounded to the fourth decimal place) from the investment advisory fee at the prior aggregate average daily net asset level.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has issued an exemptive order which permits BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, N.A. (“BTC”), an affiliate of BFA, to serve as securities lending agent for the Fund, subject to applicable conditions. As securities lending agent, BTC bears all operational costs directly related to securities lending. The Fund is responsible for fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral received for securities on loan in a money market fund managed by BFA, however, BTC has agreed to reduce the amount of securities lending income it receives in order to effectively limit the collateral investment fees the Fund bears to an annual rate of 0.04% (the “collateral investment fees”). Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral (excluding collateral investment fees), net of fees and other payments to and from borrowers of securities. The Fund retains a portion of securities lending income and remits the remaining portion to BTC as compensation for its services as securities lending agent.

Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, the Fund retains 80% of securities lending income and the amount retained can never be less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees. In addition, commencing the business day following the date that the aggregate securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees generated across all 1940 Act iShares exchange-traded funds (the “iShares ETF Complex”) in a given calendar year exceeds the aggregate securities lending income generated across the iShares ETF Complex in the calendar year 2013, the Fund, pursuant to a securities lending agreement, will retain for the remainder of that calendar year 85% of securities lending income and the amount retained can never be less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees.

For the year ended February 28, 2018, the Fund paid to BTC securities lending agent services and collateral investment fees in the amount of $976,902.

BlackRock Investments, LLC, an affiliate of BFA, is the distributor for the Fund. Pursuant to the distribution agreement, BFA is responsible for any fees or expenses for distribution services provided to the Fund.

Cross trading is the buying or selling of portfolio securities between funds to which BFA (or an affiliate) serves as investment adviser. At its regularly scheduled quarterly meetings, the Board reviews such transactions as of the most recent calendar quarter for compliance with the requirements and restrictions set forth by Rule 17a-7.

For the year ended February 28, 2018, the purchases and sales transactions executed by the Fund pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act were $1,317,604 and $ —, respectively.

The Fund may invest its positive cash balances in certain money market funds managed by BFA or an affiliate. The income earned on these temporary cash investments is included in “Dividends – affiliated” in the statement of operations.

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is the largest stockholder of BlackRock and is considered to be an affiliate of the Fund for 1940 Act purposes.

Certain trustees and officers of the Trust are also officers of BTC and/or BFA.

 

3. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

Purchases and sales of investments (excluding in-kind transactions and short-term investments) for the year ended February 28, 2018, were as follows:

 

U.S. Government Obligations      Other Securities  
Purchases      Sales      Purchases      Sales  
$ 113,513,702      $ 113,993,129      $ 1,522,152,393      $ 1,397,642,265  

In-kind purchases and sales (see Note 4) for the year ended February 28, 2018, were $1,739,343,936 and $1,413,539,559, respectively.

 

4. CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS

Capital shares are issued and redeemed by the Fund only in aggregations of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”) at NAV. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of the Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for the Fund are disclosed in detail in the statements of changes in net assets.

The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a fund in the Trust generally consists of the in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of securities and a specified amount of cash. Certain funds in the Trust may be offered in Creation Units solely or partially for cash in U.S. dollars. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s administrator, to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units, including Creation Units for cash. Investors transacting in Creation Units for cash may also pay an additional variable charge to compensate the relevant fund for certain transaction costs (i.e., stamp taxes, taxes on currency or other financial transactions, and brokerage costs) and market impact expenses relating to investing in portfolio securities. Such variable charges, if any, are included in “Proceeds from shares sold” in the statement of changes in net assets.

From time to time, settlement of securities related to in-kind contributions or in-kind redemptions may be delayed. In such cases, securities related to in-kind contributions are reflected as “Due from custodian” and securities related to in-kind redemptions are reflected as “Securities related to in-kind transactions” in the statement of assets and liabilities.

In the normal course of business, the Fund invests in securities or other instruments and may enter into certain transactions, and such activities subject the Fund to various risks, including, among others, fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of an issuer to meet all of its obligations. The value of securities or other instruments may also be affected by various factors, including, without limitation: (i) the general economy; (ii) the overall market as well as local, regional or global political and/or social instability; (iii) regulation, taxation or international tax treaties between various countries; or (iv) currency, interest rate or price fluctuations. The Fund’s prospectus provides details of the risks to which the Fund is subject.

BFA uses a “passive” or index approach to try to achieve the Fund’s investment objective following the securities included in its underlying index during upturns as well as downturns. BFA does not take steps to reduce market exposure or to lessen the effects of a declining market. Divergence from the underlying index and the composition of the portfolio is monitored by BFA.

MARKET RISK

Market risk arises mainly from uncertainty about future values of financial instruments influenced by price, currency and interest rate movements. It represents the potential loss a fund may suffer through holding market positions in the face of market movements. A fund is exposed to market risk by its investment in equity, fixed income and/or financial derivative instruments or by its investment in underlying funds. The fair value of securities held by a fund may decline due to general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuers of the securities including local, regional or global political, social or economic instability or to factors that affect a particular industry or group of industries. The extent of a fund’s exposure to market risk is the market value of the investments held as shown in the fund’s schedule of investments.

A diversified portfolio, where this is appropriate and consistent with a fund’s objectives, minimizes the risk that a price change of a particular investment will have a material impact on the NAV of a fund. The investment concentrations within the Fund’s portfolio are disclosed in its schedule of investments.

Investing in the securities of non-U.S. issuers involves certain considerations and risks not typically associated with securities of U.S. issuers. Such risks include, but are not limited to: differences in accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards; more substantial governmental involvement in the economy; higher inflation rates, greater social, economic and political uncertainties; possible nationalization or expropriation of assets; less availability of public information about issuers; imposition of withholding or other taxes; higher transaction and custody costs and delays in settlement procedures; and lower level of regulation of the securities markets and issuers. Non-U.S. securities may be less liquid, more difficult to value, and have greater price volatility due to exchange rate fluctuations. These and other risks are heightened for investments in issuers from countries with less developed capital markets.

The economies and markets of European countries are often closely connected and interdependent, and events in one country in Europe can have an adverse impact on other European countries. The European financial markets have experienced volatility and adverse trends in recent years due to concerns about economic downturns or rising government debt levels in several European countries. These events have adversely affected the exchange rate of the euro and may continue to significantly affect European countries. The occurrence of terrorist incidents throughout Europe also could impact financial markets. In addition, the United Kingdom has voted to withdraw from the European Union. The referendum may introduce significant new uncertainties and instability in the financial markets as the United Kingdom negotiates its exit from the European Union.

Changes in market interest rates or economic conditions may affect the value and/or liquidity of fixed income investments. Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of bonds and other fixed-income securities will decrease as interest rates rise and increase as interest rates fall. Securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes, usually making their

prices more volatile than those of securities with shorter durations. Given the environment of historically low interest rates, a fund may be subject to a greater risk of price losses if interest rates rise.

CREDIT RISK

Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or guarantor of debt instruments or the counterparty to a financial transaction, including derivatives contracts, repurchase agreements or loans of portfolio securities, is unable or unwilling to make timely interest and/or principal payments or to otherwise honor its obligations. BFA and its affiliates manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose a fund to issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of a fund’s exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to those financial assets is approximated by their value recorded in its statement of assets and liabilities.

 

6. INCOME TAX INFORMATION

The Fund is treated as an entity separate from the Trust’s other funds for federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of the Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions applicable to regulated investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to annually distribute substantially all of its ordinary income and any net capital gains (taking into account any capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income and excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required.

U.S. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share. The following permanent differences as of February 28, 2018, attributable to realized gains (losses) from in-kind redemptions, were reclassified to the following accounts:

 

Paid-in

Capital

       Undistributed
Net Realized
Gain/Accumulated
Net Realized Loss
 
$ 5,166,632        $ (5,166,632)  

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended February 28, 2018 and February 28, 2017 was as follows:

 

      2018      2017  

Ordinary income

   $ 182,970,994      $ 159,566,043  
  

 

 

    

 

 

 
                   

As of February 28, 2018, the tax components of accumulated net earnings (losses) were as follows:

 

Undistributed
Ordinary
Income
     Capital
Loss
Carryforwards
       Net
Unrealized
Gains  (Losses)
 a
       Total  
$17,268,155      $ (25,793,802)        $ (136,236,386)        $ (144,762,033)  

 

  a    The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) was attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

iSHARES® INTERMEDIATE CREDIT BOND ETF

 

As of February 28, 2018, the Fund had non-expiring capital loss carryforwards in the amount of $25,793,802 available to offset future realized capital gains.

For the year ended February 28, 2018, the Fund utilized $1,523,539 of its capital loss carryforwards.

As of February 28, 2018, the cost of investments (including short positions and derivatives, if any) for federal income tax purposes was $7,900,175,923. Net unrealized depreciation was $136,236,386, of which $9,160,838 represented gross unrealized appreciation on securities and $145,397,224 represented gross unrealized depreciation on securities.

Management has analyzed tax laws and regulations and their application to the Fund as of February 28, 2018, inclusive of the open tax return years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability in the Fund’s financial statements.

 

7. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On June 16, 2016, investors (the “Plaintiffs”) in certain iShares funds (iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF, iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF, iShares Core S&P 500 ETF, iShares Russell Mid-Cap Growth ETF, iShares Russell Mid-Cap ETF, iShares Russell Mid-Cap Value ETF, iShares Select Dividend ETF, iShares Morningstar Mid-Cap ETF, iShares Morningstar Large-Cap ETF, iShares U.S. Aerospace & Defense ETF and iShares U.S. Preferred Stock ETF) filed a putative class action lawsuit against iShares Trust, BlackRock, Inc. and certain of its advisory affiliates, and certain directors/trustees and officers of the Funds (collectively, “Defendants”) in California State Court. The lawsuit alleges the Defendants violated federal securities laws by failing to adequately disclose in the prospectuses issued by the funds noted above the risks of using stop-loss orders in the event of a ‘flash crash’, such as the one that occurred on May 6, 2010. On September 18, 2017, the court issued a Statement of Decision holding that the Plaintiffs lack standing to assert their claims. On October 11, 2017, the court entered final judgment dismissing all of the Plaintiffs’ claims with prejudice. Plaintiffs have appealed the court’s decision.

 

8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund through the date the financial statements were available to be issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Board of Trustees of iShares Trust and Shareholders of

iShares Intermediate Credit Bond ETF

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of iShares Intermediate Credit Bond ETF (one of the funds constituting iShares Trust, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of February 28, 2018, the related statement of operations for the year ended February 28, 2018, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended February 28, 2018, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended February 28, 2018 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of February 28, 2018, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended February 28, 2018 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended February 28, 2018 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of February 28, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent 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.

Premium/Discount Information

The Premium/Discount Information section is intended to present information about the differences between the daily market price on secondary markets for shares of a fund and that fund’s NAV. NAV is the price at which a fund issues and redeems shares. It is calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The “Market Price” of a fund generally is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest ask on the primary securities exchange on which shares of such fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the fund’s NAV is calculated. A fund’s Market Price may be at, above or below its NAV. The NAV of a fund will fluctuate with changes in the value of its portfolio holdings. The Market Price of a fund will fluctuate in accordance with changes in its NAV, as well as market supply and demand.

Premiums or discounts are the differences (expressed as a percentage) between the NAV and Market Price of a fund on a given day, generally at the time the NAV is calculated. A premium is the amount that a fund is trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. A discount is the amount that a fund is trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV.

Regulation under the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive

The Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (“AIFMD”) imposes detailed and prescriptive obligations on fund managers established in the European Union (the “EU”). These do not currently apply to managers established outside the EU, such as BFA. Rather, non-EU managers are only required to comply with certain disclosure, reporting and transparency obligations of the AIFMD if such managers market a fund to EU investors.

BFA has registered the iShares Intermediate Credit Bond ETF (the “Fund”), for marketing to investors in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Finland, Sweden, and Luxembourg.

Report on Remuneration

BFA is required under the AIFMD to make quantitative disclosures of remuneration. These disclosures are made in line with BlackRock’s interpretation of currently available regulatory guidance on quantitative remuneration disclosures. As market or regulatory practice develops BlackRock may consider it appropriate to make changes to the way in which quantitative remuneration disclosures are calculated. Where such changes are made, this may result in disclosures in relation to a fund not being comparable to the disclosures made in the prior year, or in relation to other BlackRock fund disclosures in that same year.

Disclosures are provided in relation to (a) the staff of BFA; (b) staff who are senior management; and (c) staff who have the ability to materially affect the risk profile of the Fund.

All individuals included in the aggregated figures disclosed are rewarded in line with BlackRock’s remuneration policy for their responsibilities across the relevant BlackRock business area. As all individuals have a number of areas of responsibilities, only the portion of remuneration for those individuals’ services attributable to the Fund is included in the aggregate figures disclosed.

 

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

Table of Contents

Supplemental Information (Unaudited) (Continued)

iSHARES® INTERMEDIATE CREDIT BOND ETF

 

BlackRock has a clear and well-defined pay-for-performance philosophy, and compensation programs which support that philosophy.

BlackRock operates a total compensation model for remuneration which includes a base salary, which is contractual, and a discretionary bonus scheme. Although all employees are eligible to receive a discretionary bonus, there is no contractual obligation to make a discretionary bonus award to any employees. For senior management, a significant percentage of variable remuneration is deferred over time. All employees are subject to a claw-back policy.

Remuneration decisions for employees are made once annually in January following the end of the performance year, based on BlackRock’s full-year financial results and other non-financial goals and objectives. Alongside financial performance, individual total compensation is also based on strategic and operating results and other considerations such as management and leadership capabilities. No set formulas are established and no fixed benchmarks are used in determining annual incentive awards.

Annual incentive awards are paid from a bonus pool which is reviewed throughout the year by BlackRock’s independent compensation committee, taking into account both actual and projected financial information together with information provided by the Enterprise Risk and Regulatory Compliance departments in relation to any activities, incidents or events that warrant consideration in making compensation decisions. Individuals are not involved in setting their own remuneration.

Each of the control functions (Enterprise Risk, Legal & Compliance, and Internal Audit) each have their own organizational structures which are independent of the business units. Functional bonus pools for those control functions are determined with reference to the performance of each individual function and the remuneration of the senior members of control functions is directly overseen by BlackRock’s independent compensation committee.

Members of staff and senior management of BFA typically provide both AIFMD and non-AIFMD related services in respect of multiple funds, clients and functions of BFA and across the broader BlackRock group. Therefore, the figures disclosed are a sum of each individual’s portion of remuneration attributable to the Fund according to an objective apportionment methodology which acknowledges the multiple-service nature of BFA. Accordingly the figures are not representative of any individual’s actual remuneration or their remuneration structure.

The amount of the total remuneration awarded by BFA to its staff which has been attributed to the Fund in respect of BFA’s financial year ending December 31, 2017 was USD 728.91 thousand. This figure is comprised of fixed remuneration of USD 290.53 thousand and variable remuneration of USD 438.37 thousand. There were a total of 417 beneficiaries of the remuneration described above.

The amount of the aggregate remuneration awarded by BFA, which has been attributed to the Fund, in respect of BFA’s financial year ending December 31, 2017, to its senior management was USD 101.97 thousand, and to members of its staff whose actions have a material impact on the risk profile of the Fund was USD 19 thousand.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

iSHARES® CORE U.S. AGGREGATE BOND ETF

 

U.S. BOND MARKET OVERVIEW

The U.S. bond market rose modestly during the 12 months ended February 28, 2018 (“reporting period”). The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, a broad measure of U.S. bond performance, returned 0.51% for the reporting period.

The primary factors affecting bond market performance during the reporting period were a strengthening U.S. economy and federal tax reform. The final nine months of 2017 were the strongest three consecutive quarters of economic growth in more than 12 years. Key economic drivers included an increase in manufacturing activity and the lowest unemployment rate since December 2000.

In December 2017, the U.S. government passed federal tax reform legislation that included a steep reduction in corporate tax rates and a modest decrease in individual tax rates. The tax reform improved investors’ expectations for capital spending and economic growth, but it also raised concerns about federal budget deficits and higher inflation.

The annual consumer inflation rate remained near the 2% level targeted by the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank (“Fed”). However, signs of increasing inflation emerged late in the reporting period, including a sharp rise in energy prices and higher prices at the producer level. Inflation is typically measured in terms of both final (consumer) and intermediate (producer) goods; the Fed targets inflation in final goods.

In this environment, the Fed raised its short-term interest rate target three times during the reporting period to its highest level since October 2008. The Fed also began to reduce the amount of U.S. Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities on its balance sheet in October 2017. The interest rate increases and balance sheet reduction were part of the Fed’s plan to gradually reverse substantial economic stimulus measures, implemented in response to the 2008 credit crisis, and re-establish more normal monetary policy conditions.

A stronger economy, expectations of rising growth and inflation due to the tax cuts, and the Fed’s interest rate increases led to higher bond yields and lower bond prices, with yields rising most sharply for short-term bonds. Intermediate- and long-term bond yields rose to a lesser extent, with much of the increase occurring in early 2018 following the approval of federal tax reform legislation at the end of 2017.

Corporate bonds were among the better performers in the U.S. bond market during the reporting period, returning more than 2%. Corporate bonds benefited from strong investor demand for yield. Demand was especially strong for lower-quality bonds, which tend to have the highest yields. Limited new supply also supported corporate bond performance. Although overall issuance of corporate bonds hit a record high in 2017, net new corporate bond supply was lower than in either of the prior two years.

Mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) posted modestly positive returns for the reporting period. Rising interest rates and concerns about the Fed’s plan to reduce the amount of MBS on its balance sheet held the sector in check. Commercial MBS, which often have fixed maturities, outperformed residential MBS for the reporting period. Because residential MBS are subject to refinancing, their price sensitivity to interest rate changes typically increases as rates rise and prepayments slow.

Both U.S. Treasury and government agency securities underperformed other sectors of the U.S. bond market. U.S. Treasury securities, which tend be the most sensitive to interest rate fluctuations, declined marginally for the reporting period due to the impact of higher bond yields. Government agency securities, which have higher yields relative to Treasury bonds, posted a modest positive return for the reporting period.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance (Continued)

iSHARES® CORE U.S. AGGREGATE BOND ETF

 

The iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to track the investment results of an index composed of the total U.S. investment-grade bond market, as represented by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “Index”). The Fund invests in a representative sample of securities included in the Index that collectively has an investment profile similar to the Index. Due to the use of representative sampling, the Fund may or may not hold all of the securities that are included in the Index. For the 12-month reporting period ended February 28, 2018, the total return for the Fund was 0.47%, net of fees, while the total return for the Index was 0.51%.

About Fund Performance

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available at www.ishares.com. Performance results assume reinvestment of all dividends and capital gain distributions and do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or on the redemption or sale of fund shares. The investment return and principal value of shares will vary with changes in market conditions. Shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when they are redeemed or sold in the market. Performance for certain funds may reflect a waiver of a portion of investment advisory fees. Without such a waiver, performance would have been lower.

Net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of a fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the primary stock exchange on which shares of a fund are listed for trading, as of the time that such fund’s NAV is calculated. Certain funds may have a NAV which is determined prior to the opening of regular trading on its listed exchange and their market returns are calculated using the midpoint of the bid/ask spread as of the opening of regular trading on the exchange. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested at Market Price and NAV, respectively.

An index is a statistical composite that tracks a specified financial market or sector. Unlike a fund, an index does not actually hold a portfolio of securities and therefore does not incur the expenses incurred by a fund. These expenses negatively impact fund performance. Also, market returns do not include brokerage commissions that may be payable on secondary market transactions. If brokerage commissions were included, market returns would be lower.

Shareholder Expenses

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of fund shares and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses. The expense example, which is based on an investment of $1,000 invested on September 1, 2017 and held through February 28, 2018, is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars and cents) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

Actual Expenses — The table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. Annualized expense ratios reflect contractual and voluntary fee waivers, if any. To estimate the expenses that you paid on your account over the period, simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes — The table also 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. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in your 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 in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares. Therefore, the hypothetical examples are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

iSHARES® CORE U.S. AGGREGATE BOND ETF

 

iShares 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 Trust was established as a Delaware statutory trust pursuant to an Agreement and Declaration of Trust dated December 16, 1999.

These financial statements relate only to the following fund (the “Fund”):

 

iShares ETF   

Diversification

Classification

Core U.S. Aggregate Bond

   Diversified

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of its underlying index. The investment adviser uses a “passive” or index approach to try to achieve the Fund’s investment objective.

Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Fund’s officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise 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.

 

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following significant accounting policies are consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund is considered an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.

SECURITY VALUATION

The Fund’s investments are valued at fair value each day that the Fund’s listing exchange is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the Fund’s listing exchange is not open. U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The BlackRock Global Valuation Methodologies Committee (the “Global Valuation Committee”) provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Fund. The investments of the Fund are valued pursuant to policies and procedures developed by the Global Valuation Committee and approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”).

 

    Fixed income investments are valued using the last available bid price or current market quotations provided by dealers or prices (including evaluated prices) supplied by approved independent third-party pricing services. The pricing services may use matrix pricing or valuation models that utilize certain inputs and assumptions to derive values, including transaction data, credit quality information, perceived market movements, news, and other relevant information and by other methods, which may include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type; indications as to values from dealers; general market conditions; and/or other factors and assumptions. Pricing services generally value fixed income securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional round lot size, but a fund may hold or transact in such securities in smaller odd lot sizes. Odd lots may trade at lower prices than institutional round lots.

    Open-end U.S. mutual funds (including money market funds) are valued at that day’s published net asset value (“NAV”).

In the event that application of these methods of valuation results in a price for an investment which is deemed not to be representative of the fair value of such investment or if a price is not available, the investment will be valued by the Global Valuation Committee, in accordance with policies approved by the Board. The fair valuation approaches that may be utilized by the Global Valuation Committee to determine fair value include market approach, income approach and the cost approach. The valuation techniques used under these approaches take into consideration inputs that include but are not limited to (i) attributes specific to the investment; (ii) the principal market for the investment; (iii) the customary participants in the principal market for the investment; (iv) data assumptions by market participants for the investment, if reasonably available; (v) quoted prices for similar investments in active markets; and (vi) other inputs, such as future cash flows, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and/or default rates. Valuations based on such inputs are reported to the Board on a quarterly basis.

The Global Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating valuation approaches for investments where an active market does not exist, including regular due diligence of the Trust’s pricing vendors, a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis to compare unrealized gains and losses to realized gains and losses, reviews of missing or stale prices, reviews of large movements in market values, and reviews of market related activity.

Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate the Fund’s NAV and the prices used by the Fund’s underlying index, which in turn could result in a difference between the Fund’s performance and the performance of the Fund’s underlying index.

Various inputs are used in determining the fair value of financial instruments. Inputs may be based on independent market data (“observable inputs”) or they may be internally developed (“unobservable inputs”). These inputs to valuation techniques are categorized into a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels for financial reporting purposes as follows:

 

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

 

    Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and

 

    Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances, to the extent observable inputs are not available, including the Global Valuation Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments.

The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Accordingly, the degree of judgement exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the fair value hierarchy classification is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The fair value hierarchy for the Fund’s investments is included in its schedule of investments.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the fair value hierarchy. In accordance with the Trust’s policy, transfers between different levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred as

of the beginning of the reporting period. The categorization of values determined for financial instruments are based on the pricing transparency of the financial instruments and are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION

Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses on investment transactions are determined using the specific identification method. Interest income, including amortization and accretion of premiums and discounts on debt securities, and payment-in-kind interest income, if any are recognized daily on the accrual basis. Dividend income and capital gain distributions, if any, are recognized on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source.

WHEN-ISSUED/TBA TRANSACTIONS

The Fund may purchase mortgage pass-through securities on a when-issued or to-be-announced (“TBA”) basis, with payment and delivery scheduled for a future date. The Fund may enter into a TBA agreement, sell the obligation to purchase the pools stipulated in the TBA agreement prior to the stipulated settlement date and enter into a new TBA agreement for future delivery of pools of mortgage pass-through securities (a “TBA roll”). A TBA roll is treated by the Fund as a purchase transaction and a sale transaction in which the Fund realizes a gain or loss. The Fund’s use of TBA rolls may cause the Fund to experience higher portfolio turnover and higher transaction costs. The Fund could be exposed to possible risk if there are adverse market actions, expenses or delays in connection with the TBA transactions, or if the counterparty fails to complete the transaction.

To mitigate counterparty risk, the Fund has entered into a two-way collateral agreement for TBA transactions with certain counterparties. Under such agreement, the “in-the-money” party of a TBA transaction may at any time require the other party to pledge collateral assets (in the form of cash or securities) to offset any loss the in-the-money party would incur upon cancellation of the TBA transaction. A party is in-the-money if they are the buyer and the market value of the TBA transaction increases or if they are the seller and the market value of the TBA transaction decreases. Cash received as collateral from the counterparty may be reinvested in money market funds, including those managed by the Fund’s investment adviser, or its affiliates. Such collateral, if any, is presented in the statement of assets and liabilities as “Investments in securities – affiliated” and “Payable due to broker for TBA collateral.” Securities pledged as collateral by the Fund, if any, are noted in the schedule of investments.

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dividends and distributions paid by the Fund are recorded on the ex-dividend dates. Distributions are determined on a tax basis and may differ from net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial reporting purposes. Dividends and distributions are paid in U.S. dollars and cannot be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Fund.

LOANS OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES

The Fund may lend its investment securities to approved borrowers, such as brokers, dealers and other financial institutions. The borrower pledges and maintains with the Fund collateral consisting of cash, an irrevocable letter of credit issued by an approved bank, or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government. The initial collateral received by the Fund is required to have a value of at least 102% of the current value of the loaned securities for securities traded on U.S. exchanges and a value of at least 105% for all other securities. The collateral is maintained thereafter at a value equal to at least 100% of the current value of the securities on loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day of the Fund. Any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund and any excess collateral is returned by the Fund on the next business day. During the term of the loan, the Fund is entitled to all distributions made on or in respect of the loaned securities but does not receive interest income on securities received as collateral. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within the standard time period for settlement of securities transactions.

Cash received as collateral for securities on loan may be reinvested in certain short-term instruments either directly on behalf of a fund or through one or more joint accounts or money market funds, including those managed by BlackRock Fund Advisors (“BFA”), the Fund’s investment adviser, or its affiliates. As of February 28, 2018, any securities on loan were collateralized by cash and/or U.S. government obligations. Cash collateral received was invested in money market funds managed by BFA and is disclosed in the schedule of investments. Any non-cash collateral received cannot be sold, re-invested or pledged by the Fund, except in the event of borrower default. The securities on loan for the Fund are also disclosed in its schedule of investments. The total value of any securities on loan as of February 28, 2018 and the total value of the related cash collateral are disclosed in the statement of assets and liabilities. Income earned by the Fund from securities lending is disclosed in the statement of operations.

The risks of securities lending include the risk that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or may not return the securities when due. To mitigate these risks, the Fund benefits from a borrower default indemnity provided by BlackRock, Inc. (“BlackRock”). BlackRock’s indemnity allows for full replacement of securities loaned if the collateral received does not cover the value of the securities loaned in the event of borrower default. The Fund could incur a loss if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the loaned securities or if the value of an investment purchased with cash collateral falls below the value of the original cash collateral received.

Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Fund under Master Securities Lending Agreements (“MSLA”) which provide the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency) for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate a net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. In the event that a borrower defaults, the Fund, as lender, would offset the market value of the collateral received against the market value of the securities loaned. The value of the collateral is typically greater than that of the market value of the securities loaned, leaving the lender with a net amount payable to the defaulting party. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against such a right of offset in the event of an MSLA counterparty’s bankruptcy or insolvency. Under the MSLA, the borrower can resell or re-pledge the loaned securities, and the Fund can reinvest cash collateral, or, upon an event of default, resell or re-pledge the collateral.

RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARD

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update “Premium Amortization on Purchase Callable Debt Securities” which amends the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities. Under the new guidance, premium amortization of purchased callable debt securities that have explicit, non-contingent call features and are callable at fixed prices will be amortized to the earliest call date. The guidance will be applied on a modified retrospective basis and is effective for fiscal years, and their interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. Management is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance to the Fund.

 

2. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement with the Trust, BFA manages the investment of the Fund’s assets. BFA is a California corporation indirectly owned by BlackRock. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, BFA is responsible for substantially all expenses of the Fund, except (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions and other expenses connected with the execution of portfolio transactions; (iii) distribution fees; (iv) the advisory fee payable to BFA; and (v) litigation expenses and any extraordinary expenses (in each case as determined by a majority of the independent trustees).

For its investment advisory services to the Fund, BFA is entitled to an annual investment advisory fee of 0.05%, accrued daily and paid monthly by the Fund, based on the average daily net assets of the Fund. In addition, the Fund may incur acquired fund fees

 

156    2018 iSHARES ANNUAL REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS


Table of Contents

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)

iSHARES® CORE U.S. AGGREGATE BOND ETF

 

and expenses. BFA has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its investment advisory fee for the Fund through June 30, 2026 in an amount equal to the acquired fund fees and expenses, if any, attributable to the Fund’s investments in other registered investment companies advised by BFA or its affiliates.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has issued an exemptive order which permits BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, N.A. (“BTC”), an affiliate of BFA, to serve as securities lending agent for the Fund, subject to applicable conditions. As securities lending agent, BTC bears all operational costs directly related to securities lending. The Fund is responsible for fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral received for securities on loan in a money market fund managed by BFA, however, BTC has agreed to reduce the amount of securities lending income it receives in order to effectively limit the collateral investment fees the Fund bears to an annual rate of 0.04% (the “collateral investment fees”). Securities lending income is equal to the total of income earned from the reinvestment of cash collateral (excluding collateral investment fees), net of fees and other payments to and from borrowers of securities. The Fund retains a portion of securities lending income and remits the remaining portion to BTC as compensation for its services as securities lending agent.

Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, the Fund retains 80% of securities lending income and the amount retained can never be less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees. In addition, commencing the business day following the date that the aggregate securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees generated across all 1940 Act iShares exchange-traded funds (the “iShares ETF Complex”) in a given calendar year exceeds the aggregate securities lending income generated across the iShares ETF Complex in the calendar year 2013, the Fund, pursuant to a securities lending agreement, will retain for the remainder of that calendar year 85% of securities lending income and the amount retained can never be less than 70% of the total of securities lending income plus the collateral investment fees.

For the year ended February 28, 2018, the Fund paid to BTC securities lending agent services and collateral investment fees in the amount of $463,809.

BlackRock Investments, LLC, an affiliate of BFA, is the distributor for the Fund. Pursuant to the distribution agreement, BFA is responsible for any fees or expenses for distribution services provided to the Fund.

Cross trading is the buying or selling of portfolio securities between funds to which BFA (or an affiliate) serves as investment adviser. At its regularly scheduled quarterly meetings, the Board reviews such transactions as of the most recent calendar quarter for compliance with the requirements and restrictions set forth by Rule 17a-7.

For the year ended February 28, 2018, the purchases transactions executed by the Fund pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act were $741,148.

The Fund may invest its positive cash balances in certain money market funds managed by BFA or an affiliate. The income earned on these temporary cash investments is included in “Dividends – affiliated” in the statement of operations.

The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc. is the largest stockholder of BlackRock and is considered to be an affiliate of the Fund for 1940 Act purposes.

Certain trustees and officers of the Trust are also officers of BTC and/or BFA.

The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a fund in the Trust generally consists of the in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of securities and a specified amount of cash. Certain funds in the Trust may be offered in Creation Units solely or partially for cash in U.S. dollars. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to State Street Bank and Trust Company, the Trust’s administrator, to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units, including Creation Units for cash. Investors transacting in Creation Units for cash may also pay an additional variable charge to compensate the relevant fund for certain transaction costs (i.e., stamp taxes, taxes on currency or other financial transactions, and brokerage costs) and market impact expenses relating to investing in portfolio securities. Such variable charges, if any, are included in “Proceeds from shares sold” in the statement of changes in net assets.

From time to time, settlement of securities related to in-kind contributions or in-kind redemptions may be delayed. In such cases, securities related to in-kind contributions are reflected as “Due from custodian” and securities related to in-kind redemptions are reflected as “Securities related to in-kind transactions” in the statement of assets and liabilities.

 

5. PRINCIPAL RISKS

In the normal course of business, the Fund invests in securities or other instruments and may enter into certain transactions, and such activities subject the Fund to various risks, including, among others, fluctuations in the market (market risk) or failure of an issuer to meet all of its obligations. The value of securities or other instruments may also be affected by various factors, including, without limitation: (i) the general economy; (ii) the overall market as well as local, regional or global political and/or social instability; (iii) regulation, taxation or international tax treaties between various countries; or (iv) currency, interest rate or price fluctuations. The Fund’s prospectus provides details of the risks to which the Fund is subject.

BFA uses a “passive” or index approach to try to achieve the Fund’s investment objective following the securities included in its underlying index during upturns as well as downturns. BFA does not take steps to reduce market exposure or to lessen the effects of a declining market. Divergence from the underlying index and the composition of the portfolio is monitored by BFA.

MARKET RISK

Market risk arises mainly from uncertainty about future values of financial instruments influenced by price, currency and interest rate movements. It represents the potential loss a fund may suffer through holding market positions in the face of market movements. A fund is exposed to market risk by its investment in equity, fixed income and/or financial derivative instruments or by its investment in underlying funds. The fair value of securities held by a fund may decline due to general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuers of the securities including local, regional or global political, social or economic instability or to factors that affect a particular industry or group of industries. The extent of a fund’s exposure to market risk is the market value of the investments held as shown in the fund’s schedule of investments.

A diversified portfolio, where this is appropriate and consistent with a fund’s objectives, minimizes the risk that a price change of a particular investment will have a material impact on the NAV of a fund. The investment concentrations within the Fund’s portfolio are disclosed in its schedule of investments.

Investing in the securities of non-U.S. issuers involves certain considerations and risks not typically associated with securities of U.S. issuers. Such risks include, but are not limited to: differences in accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards; more substantial governmental involvement in the economy; higher inflation rates, greater social, economic and political uncertainties; possible nationalization or expropriation of assets; less availability of public information about issuers; imposition of withholding or other taxes; higher transaction and custody costs and delays in settlement procedures; and lower level of regulation of the securities markets and issuers. Non-U.S. securities may be less liquid, more difficult to value, and have greater price volatility due to exchange rate fluctuations. These and other risks are heightened for investments in issuers from countries with less developed capital markets.

The economies and markets of European countries are often closely connected and interdependent, and events in one country in Europe can have an adverse impact on other European countries. The European financial markets have experienced volatility and adverse trends in recent years due to concerns about economic downturns or rising government debt levels in several European countries. These events have adversely affected the exchange rate of the euro and may continue to significantly affect European countries. The occurrence of terrorist incidents throughout Europe also could impact financial markets. In addition, the United Kingdom has voted to withdraw from the European Union. The referendum may introduce significant new uncertainties and instability in the financial markets as the United Kingdom negotiates its exit from the European Union.

Changes in market interest rates or economic conditions may affect the value and/or liquidity of fixed income investments. Interest rate risk is the risk that prices of bonds and other fixed-income securities will decrease as interest rates rise and increase as interest rates fall. Securities with longer durations tend to be more sensitive to interest rate changes, usually making their prices more volatile than those of securities with shorter durations. Given the environment of historically low interest rates, a fund may be subject to a greater risk of price losses if interest rates rise.

CREDIT RISK

Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or guarantor of debt instruments or the counterparty to a financial transaction, including derivatives contracts, repurchase agreements or loans of portfolio securities, is unable or unwilling to make timely interest and/or principal payments or to otherwise honor its obligations. BFA and its affiliates manage counterparty credit risk by entering into transactions only with counterparties that they believe have the financial resources to honor their obligations and by monitoring the financial stability of those counterparties. Financial assets, which potentially expose a fund to issuer and counterparty credit risks, consist principally of financial instruments and receivables due from counterparties. The extent of a fund’s exposure to credit and counterparty risks with respect to those financial assets is approximated by their value recorded in its statement of assets and liabilities.

6. INCOME TAX INFORMATION

The Fund is treated as an entity separate from the Trust’s other funds for federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of the Fund to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions applicable to regulated investment companies, as defined under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to annually distribute substantially all of its ordinary income and any net capital gains (taking into account any capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income and excise taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required.

U.S. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share. The following permanent differences as of February 28, 2018, attributable to the realized gains (losses) from in-kind redemptions were reclassified to the following accounts:

 

Paid-in
Capital
     Undistributed
Net Investment
Income/Distributions
in Excess of Net
Investment Income
       Undistributed
Net Realized
Gain/Accumulated
Net Realized Loss
 

$2,655,059

     $ 1,238        $ (2,656,297)  

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended February 28, 2018 and February 28, 2017 was as follows:

 

      2018      2017  

Ordinary income

   $ 1,131,264,792      $ 910,726,129  
  

 

 

    

 

 

 
                   

As of February 28, 2018, the tax components of accumulated net earnings (losses) were as follows:

 

Undistributed

Ordinary

Income

    

Capital Loss

Carryforwards

   

Net

Unrealized

Gains (Losses) a

    Total  
$ 99,470,063      $ (241,191,401   $ (903,236,018   $ (1,044,957,356

 

  a    The difference between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized gains (losses) was attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

As of February 28, 2018, the Fund had non-expiring capital loss carryforwards in the amount of $241,191,401 available to offset future realized capital gains.

As of February 28, 2018, the cost of investments (including short positions and derivatives, if any) for federal income tax purposes was $62,995,484,079. Net unrealized depreciation was $903,236,018, of which $231,335,468 represented gross unrealized appreciation on securities and $1,134,571,486 represented gross unrealized depreciation on securities.

Management has analyzed tax laws and regulations and their application to the Fund as of February 28, 2018, inclusive of the open tax return years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability in the Fund’s financial statements.

7. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On June 16, 2016, investors (the “Plaintiffs”) in certain iShares funds (iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF, iShares Russell 1000 Growth ETF, iShares Core S&P 500 ETF, iShares Russell Mid-Cap Growth ETF, iShares Russell Mid-Cap ETF, iShares Russell Mid-Cap Value ETF, iShares Select Dividend ETF, iShares Morningstar Mid-Cap ETF, iShares Morningstar Large-Cap ETF, iShares U.S. Aerospace & Defense ETF and iShares U.S. Preferred Stock ETF) filed a putative class action lawsuit against iShares Trust, BlackRock, Inc. and certain of its advisory affiliates, and certain directors/trustees and officers of the Funds (collectively, “Defendants”) in California State Court. The lawsuit alleges the Defendants violated federal securities laws by failing to adequately disclose in the prospectuses issued by the funds noted above the risks of using stop-loss orders in the event of a ‘flash crash’, such as the one that occurred on May 6, 2010. On September 18, 2017, the court issued a Statement of Decision holding that the Plaintiffs lack standing to assert their claims. On October 11, 2017, the court entered final judgment dismissing all of the Plaintiffs’ claims with prejudice. Plaintiffs have appealed the court’s decision.

 

8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Fund through the date the financial statements were available to be issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

To the Board of Trustees of iShares Trust and

Shareholders of iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (one of the funds constituting iShares Trust, referred to hereafter as the “Fund”) as of February 28, 2018, the related statement of operations for the year ended February 28, 2018, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended February 28, 2018, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended February 28, 2018 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of February 28, 2018, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended February 28, 2018 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended February 28, 2018 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of February 28, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent 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.

Premium/Discount Information

The Premium/Discount Information section is intended to present information about the differences between the daily market price on secondary markets for shares of a fund and that fund’s NAV. NAV is the price at which a fund issues and redeems shares. It is calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The “Market Price” of a fund generally is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest ask on the primary securities exchange on which shares of such fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the fund’s NAV is calculated. A fund’s Market Price may be at, above or below its NAV. The NAV of a fund will fluctuate with changes in the value of its portfolio holdings. The Market Price of a fund will fluctuate in accordance with changes in its NAV, as well as market supply and demand.

Premiums or discounts are the differences (expressed as a percentage) between the NAV and Market Price of a fund on a given day, generally at the time the NAV is calculated. A premium is the amount that a fund is trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. A discount is the amount that a fund is trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV.

Regulation under the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive

The Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (“AIFMD”) imposes detailed and prescriptive obligations on fund managers established in the European Union (the “EU”). These do not currently apply to managers established outside the EU, such as BFA. Rather, non-EU managers are only required to comply with certain disclosure, reporting and transparency obligations of the AIFMD if such managers market a fund to EU investors.

BFA has registered the iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF (the “Fund”), for marketing to investors in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Finland, Sweden, and Luxembourg.

Report on Remuneration

BFA is required under the AIFMD to make quantitative disclosures of remuneration. These disclosures are made in line with BlackRock’s interpretation of currently available regulatory guidance on quantitative remuneration disclosures. As market or regulatory practice develops BlackRock may consider it appropriate to make changes to the way in which quantitative remuneration disclosures are calculated. Where such changes are made, this may result in disclosures in relation to a fund not being comparable to the disclosures made in the prior year, or in relation to other BlackRock fund disclosures in that same year.

Disclosures are provided in relation to (a) the staff of BFA; (b) staff who are senior management; and (c) staff who have the ability to materially affect the risk profile of the Fund.

All individuals included in the aggregated figures disclosed are rewarded in line with BlackRock’s remuneration policy for their responsibilities across the relevant BlackRock business area. As all individuals have a number of areas of responsibilities, only the portion of remuneration for those individuals’ services attributable to the Fund is included in the aggregate figures disclosed.

BlackRock has a clear and well-defined pay-for-performance philosophy, and compensation programs which support that philosophy.

 

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

     165  


Table of Contents

Supplemental Information (Unaudited) (Continued)

iSHARES® CORE U.S. AGGREGATE BOND ETF

 

BlackRock operates a total compensation model for remuneration which includes a base salary, which is contractual, and a discretionary bonus scheme. Although all employees are eligible to receive a discretionary bonus, there is no contractual obligation to make a discretionary bonus award to any employees. For senior management, a significant percentage of variable remuneration is deferred over time. All employees are subject to a claw-back policy.

Remuneration decisions for employees are made once annually in January following the end of the performance year, based on BlackRock’s full-year financial results and other non-financial goals and objectives. Alongside financial performance, individual total compensation is also based on strategic and operating results and other considerations such as management and leadership capabilities. No set formulas are established and no fixed benchmarks are used in determining annual incentive awards.

Annual incentive awards are paid from a bonus pool which is reviewed throughout the year by BlackRock’s independent compensation committee, taking into account both actual and projected financial information together with information provided by the Enterprise Risk and Regulatory Compliance departments in relation to any activities, incidents or events that warrant consideration in making compensation decisions. Individuals are not involved in setting their own remuneration.

Each of the control functions (Enterprise Risk, Legal & Compliance, and Internal Audit) each have their own organizational structures which are independent of the business units. Functional bonus pools for those control functions are determined with reference to the performance of each individual function and the remuneration of the senior members of control functions is directly overseen by BlackRock’s independent compensation committee.

Members of staff and senior management of BFA typically provide both AIFMD and non-AIFMD related services in respect of multiple funds, clients and functions of BFA and across the broader BlackRock group. Therefore, the figures disclosed are a sum of each individual’s portion of remuneration attributable to the Fund according to an objective apportionment methodology which acknowledges the multiple-service nature of BFA. Accordingly the figures are not representative of any individual’s actual remuneration or their remuneration structure.

The amount of the total remuneration awarded by BFA to its staff which has been attributed to the Fund in respect of BFA’s financial year ending December 31, 2017 was USD 5 million. This figure is comprised of fixed remuneration of USD 1.99 million and variable remuneration of USD 3.01 million. There were a total of 417 beneficiaries of the remuneration described above.

The amount of the aggregate remuneration awarded by BFA, which has been attributed to the Fund in respect of BFA’s financial year ending December 31, 2017, to its senior management was USD 700.05 thousand, and to members of its staff whose actions have a material impact on the risk profile of the Fund was USD 130.41 thousand.

Each officer shall hold office until his or her successor is elected and qualifies or until his or her death, resignation or removal. Trustees who are not “interested persons” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Trust are referred to as independent trustees (“Independent Trustees”).

Item 2. Code of Ethics.

The registrant has adopted a code of ethics, as of the end of the period covered by this report, applicable to the registrant’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. During the period covered by this report, the code of ethics was amended to clarify an inconsistency in to whom persons covered by the code should report suspected violations of the code. The amendment clarifies that such reporting should be made to BlackRock’s General Counsel, and retains the alternative option of anonymous reporting following “whistleblower” policies. Other non-material changes were also made in connection with this amendment. During the period covered by this report, there have been no waivers granted under the code of ethics. The registrant undertakes to provide a copy of the code of ethics to any person upon request, without charge, by calling 1-800-474-2737.

Item 3. Audit Committee Financial Expert.

The registrant’s Board of Trustees has determined that the registrant has more than one audit committee financial expert, as that term is defined under Item 3(b) and 3(c), serving on its audit committee. The audit committee financial experts serving on the registrant’s audit committee are Charles A. Hurty, Richard L. Fagnani (began serving on the audit committee effective as of June 20, 2017 and was designated as an audit committee financial expert serving on the audit committee effective as of September 15, 2017), John E. Kerrigan, and Madhav V. Rajan, all of whom are independent, as that term is defined under Item 3(a)(2).

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

The principal accountant fees disclosed in items 4(a), 4(b), 4(c), 4(d) and 4(g) are for the twenty-seven series of the registrant for which the fiscal year-end is February 28, 2018 (the “Funds”), and whose annual financial statements are reported in Item 1.

 

  (a) Audit Fees – The aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for the audit of the Funds’ annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years were $296,050 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2017 and $346,850 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2018.

 

  (b) Audit-Related Fees – There were no fees billed for the fiscal years ended February 28, 2017 and February 28, 2018 for assurance and related services by the principal accountant that were reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the Fund’s financial statements and are not reported under (a) of this Item.

 

  (c) Tax Fees – The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning for the Funds were $86,963 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2017 and $102,087 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2018. These services related to the review of the Funds’ tax returns and excise tax calculations.

 

  (d) All Other Fees – There were no other fees billed in each of the fiscal years ended February 28, 2017 and February 28, 2018 for products and services provided by the principal accountant, other than the services reported in (a) through (c) of this Item.

 

  (e) (1) The registrant’s audit committee charter, as amended, provides that the audit committee is responsible for the approval, prior to appointment, of the engagement of the principal accountant to annually audit and provide their opinion on the registrant’s financial statements. The audit committee must also approve, prior to appointment, the engagement of the principal accountant to provide non-audit services to the registrant or to any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the registrant’s investment adviser (“Adviser Affiliate”) that provides ongoing services to the registrant, if the engagement relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant.

(2) There were no services described in (b) through (d) above that were approved by the audit committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

 

  (f) None of the hours expended on the principal accountant’s engagement to audit the Funds’ financial statements for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2018 were attributable to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees.

 

  (g) The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrant’s principal accountant for services rendered to the Funds, and rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser, and any Adviser Affiliate that provides ongoing services to the registrant for the last two fiscal years were $86,963 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2017 and $102,087 for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2018. The aggregate non-audit fees for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2017 included in this report are different from those included in the previously filed report covering the 12-month period ended February 28, 2017 as this report excludes non-audit fees for services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser or any Adviser Affiliate that provides ongoing services to the registrant but that were not related to the registrant.

 

  (h) The registrant’s audit committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser and any Adviser Affiliate that provides ongoing services to the registrant that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, if any, is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence, and has determined that the provision of these services, if any, does not compromise the principal accountant’s independence.
