INVESTMENT CLIMATE

The U.S. equity rally that commenced in late 2012 continued nearly unabated throughout the first half of 2013. It was not until after the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 Index hit all-time highs in May that volatility re-entered the picture with a brief June pullback. Market participants largely ignored a weak global macroeconomic environment and fears of fiscal drag from the U.S. sequester. Instead, they focused on continued accommodative monetary policy from the Federal Reserve (Fed) and incrementally stronger U.S. macroeconomic data.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, the S&P 500 Index and Russell 1000 Index returned 13.82% and 13.91%, respectively, while the MSCI EAFE Index went up 4.47% and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index went down 9.40%. Small-cap stocks outperformed large-cap stocks with the Russell 2000 Index returning 15.86%, and value stocks outperformed growth stocks with the Russell 1000 Value Index returning 15.90% compared with the Russell 1000 Growth Index’s return of 11.80%.

Within the Russell 1000 Index, Financials, Health Care, and Consumer Discretionary were the top-performing sectors. The defensive sectors, especially Utilities and Telecommunications, were weak through the first half of 2013, which was dominated by higher-beta stocks in early-cycle industries—especially in the first quarter. The Energy and Materials sectors showed brief strength early in the year, but sold off on fears of a global growth slowdown and Middle East tensions, finishing among the worst performers for the period.

The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Visit www.calvert.com/ institutional-VP-performance.html for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for the Portfolio is 0.85%. This number may vary from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period and, if applicable, does not include fee or expense waivers. The performance data and expense ratio reflect deduction of Portfolio operating expenses, but do not reflect charges and expenses imposed under the variable annuity or life insurance contract.

*Total Return is not annualized for periods of less than one year.

Corporate earnings showed continued revenue weakness with aggregate top-line growth for the S&P 500 Index falling 1.30% in the first quarter. However, earnings news was largely overshadowed by the improving U.S. macroeconomic environment. The U.S. consumer remains upbeat, with sales of both homes and autos continuing to increase. In housing, sales of previously owned homes hit a three-year high in May and buyers do not yet seem concerned by the prospect of rising interest rates.

Jobless claims continued to inch down and the seasonally adjusted labor force participation rate began to reverse its downward trend in April, signaling that the unemployed are returning to the ranks of active job seekers. Nonfarm payrolls spiked in February, but maintained a fairly consistent level of just under 200,000 new jobs added monthly. Inflation remained tame, allowing the Fed to maintain its accommodative monetary policy stance.

However, minutes of Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings released during the first half of the year indicate growing tensions between members who feel quantitative easing (QE) should be tapered sooner than later and those who prefer to wait for further gains in labor and price stability before slowing the purchases of Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities. In mid-June, confusion surrounding the eventual tapering of QE purchases culminated in a brief market pullback, although profit-taking likely had much to do with it as well.

Eurozone economic woes continued unabated. Governments across the peripheral economies faced a backlash from a populace tired of economic austerity. Growth remained sluggish throughout the eurozone and Moody’s cut the United Kingdom’s AAA credit rating to Aa1. An interest rate cut by the European Central Bank in May provided a brief rally in the eurozone, but the region remains mired in a host of economic woes, including unemployment, which hit a staggering near 50% among youth in countries such as Spain.

In Asia, the Bank of Japan unleashed unprecedented QE measures that triggered a massive rally in Japanese equities with an attendant large decline in the yen versus the dollar. It remains to be seen whether these measures will be able to overcome Japan’s demographic challenges and return the nation to its former competitiveness. However, it is encouraging to see a policy shift after decades of ignoring monetary measures in favor of largely futile fiscal stimulus.

Elsewhere in Asia, China faced continued fears of a slowing economy that culminated in a strong sell-off of nearly 14% on the Shanghai Composite in June alone. Although the officially reported Chinese gross domestic product (GDP) figures remain in the high 7% range, other statistics such as PMI manufacturing, industrial production, and trade all point to an economy in a slowing growth phase. In addition, the Chinese government announced a policy shift in early summer that would favor a smaller role for the government in the economy going forward.

OUTLOOK

While problems abound, the United States remains a bright spot in an otherwise shaky global economic picture. Given the year-to-date strength of U.S. equities, pullbacks in the second half of 2013 should be expected and welcomed as a sign of healthy markets. We believe the fiscal drag from the sequester should peak in the third quarter. Furthermore, companies will be eager to reduce earnings estimates for an easy beat on second-quarter earnings. The ever-present fears of a slowing QE will remain through year end.

Withdrawal of QE, however painful it may be for certain asset classes, won’t prevent the economy from growing. We expect the Fed to continue to manage interest rate volatility through careful telegraphing of its actions and to eventually withdraw QE before hitting its target unemployment rate. The pace may be slow, but continued improvements in the labor market and housing remain powerful drivers of growth in both the near and long terms.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE

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

This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2013 to June 30, 2013).

Note: Expenses do not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 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. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.78%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A –- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General: Calvert VP SRI Large Cap Value Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. (the “Fund”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is comprised of twelve separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. Shares of the Portfolio are sold without sales charge to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts.

Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Portfolio uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (“the Board”) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The Board has adopted Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining the fair value of assets of the Portfolio to Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Calvert”) and has provided these Procedures to govern Calvert in its valuation duties.

Calvert has chartered an internal Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these Procedures and to assist it in carrying out the valuation responsibilities that the Board has delegated.

The Valuation Committee meets on a regular basis to review illiquid securities and other investments which may not have readily available market prices. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

The Valuation Committee utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of the Portfolio’s investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

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

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. There were no such transfers during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio’s investments by major category are as follows:

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP SRI LARGE CAP VALUE PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 14


 

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the Portfolio, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. For restricted securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and such securities are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee.

The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.

The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the fund may employ an income-based or cost approach. An income-based valuation approach discounts anticipated future cash flows of the investment to calculate a present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. A cost based approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (current replacement cost). From the seller’s perspective, the price that would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a buyer to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.

The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis and reviews of any related market activity.

At June 30, 2013, no securities were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of June 30, 2013:

  VALUATION INPUTS
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 TOTAL
Equity securities* $137,512,948 $137,512,948
Other debt obligations $2,530,574 2,530,574
TOTAL $137,512,948 $2,530,574 $140,043,522

 

*For further breakdown of Equity Securities by industry type, please refer to the Statement of Net Assets.

Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned.

Foreign Currency Transactions: The Portfolio’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. For valuation of assets and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, foreign denominations are converted into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. Security transactions, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of the event. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on securities is included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Portfolio on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Portfolio’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.

Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.

Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. A Portfolio’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL TABLES

SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS

The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.

STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities typically include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.

STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS

The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.

At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.

STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.

STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS

The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP SRI LARGE CAP VALUE PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 21


 

The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown by class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio – how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.

CALVERT VP S&P 500 INDEX PORTFOLIO

Portfolio within Calvert Variable Products, Inc.

Managed by Ameritas Investment Partners, Inc., Subadvisor

INVESTMENT CLIMATE

The U.S. equity rally that commenced in late 2012 continued nearly unabated throughout the first half of 2013. It was not until after the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 Index hit all-time highs in May that volatility re-entered the picture with a brief June pullback. Market participants largely ignored a weak global macroeconomic environment and fears of fiscal drag from the U.S. sequester. Instead, they focused on continued accommodative monetary policy from the Federal Reserve (Fed) and incrementally stronger U.S. macroeconomic data.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, the S&P 500 Index and Russell 1000 Index returned 13.82% and 13.91%, respectively, while the MSCI EAFE Index went up 4.47% and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index went down 9.40%. Small-cap stocks outperformed large-cap stocks with the Russell 2000 Index returning 15.86%, and value stocks outperformed growth stocks with the Russell 1000 Value Index returning 15.90% compared with the Russell 1000 Growth Index’s return of 11.80%.

Within the Russell 1000 Index, Financials, Health Care, and Consumer Discretionary were the top-performing sectors. The defensive sectors, especially Utilities and Telecommunications, were weak through the first half of 2013, which was dominated by higher-beta stocks in early-cycle industries—especially in the first quarter. The Energy and Materials sectors showed brief strength early in the year, but sold off on fears of a global growth slowdown and Middle East tensions, finishing among the worst performers for the period.


  AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN  
  (period ended 6.30.13)  
Six month* 13.60 %
One year 20.09 %
Five year 6.67 %
Ten year 6.92 %

 

The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Visit www.calvert.com/ institutional-VP-performance.html for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for the Portfolio is 0.45%. This number may vary from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period and, if applicable, does not include fee or expense waivers. The performance data and expense ratio reflect deduction of Portfolio operating expenses, but do not reflect charges and expenses imposed under the variable annuity or life insurance contract.

*Total Return is not annualized for periods of less than one year.

Corporate earnings showed continued revenue weakness with aggregate top-line growth for the S&P 500 Index falling 1.30% in the first quarter. However, earnings news was largely overshadowed by the improving U.S. macroeconomic environment. The U.S. consumer remains upbeat, with sales of both homes and autos continuing to increase. In housing, sales of previously owned homes hit a three-year high in May and buyers do not yet seem concerned by the prospect of rising interest rates.

Jobless claims continued to inch down and the seasonally adjusted labor force participation rate began to reverse its downward trend in April, signaling that the unemployed are returning to the ranks of active job seekers. Nonfarm payrolls spiked in February, but maintained a fairly consistent level of just under 200,000 new jobs added monthly. Inflation remained tame, allowing the Fed to maintain its accommodative monetary policy stance.

However, minutes of Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings released during the first half of the year indicate growing tensions between members who feel quantitative easing (QE) should be tapered sooner than later and those who prefer to wait for further gains in labor and price stability before slowing the purchases of Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities. In mid-June, confusion surrounding the eventual tapering of QE purchases culminated in a brief market pullback, although profit-taking likely had much to do with it as well.

Eurozone economic woes continued unabated. Governments across the peripheral economies faced a backlash from a populace tired of economic austerity. Growth remained sluggish throughout the eurozone and Moody’s cut the United Kingdom’s AAA credit rating to Aa1. An interest rate cut by the European Central Bank in May provided a brief rally in the eurozone, but the region remains mired in a host of economic woes, including unemployment, which hit a staggering near 50% among youth in countries such as Spain.

In Asia, the Bank of Japan unleashed unprecedented QE measures that triggered a massive rally in Japanese equities with an attendant large decline in the yen versus the dollar. It remains to be seen whether these measures will be able to overcome Japan’s demographic challenges and return the nation to its former competitiveness. However, it is encouraging to see a policy shift after decades of ignoring monetary measures in favor of largely futile fiscal stimulus.

Elsewhere in Asia, China faced continued fears of a slowing economy that culminated in a strong sell-off of nearly 14% on the Shanghai Composite in June alone. Although the officially reported Chinese gross domestic product (GDP) figures remain in the high 7% range, other statistics such as PMI manufacturing, industrial production, and trade all point to an economy in a slowing growth phase. In addition, the Chinese government announced a policy shift in early summer that would favor a smaller role for the government in the economy going forward.

OUTLOOK

While problems abound, the United States remains a bright spot in an otherwise shaky global economic picture. Given the year-to-date strength of U.S. equities, pullbacks in the second half of 2013 should be expected and welcomed as a sign of healthy markets. We believe the fiscal drag from the sequester should peak in the third quarter. Furthermore, companies will be eager to reduce earnings estimates for an easy beat on second-quarter earnings. The ever-present fears of a slowing QE will remain through year end.

Withdrawal of QE, however painful it may be for certain asset classes, won’t prevent the economy from growing. We expect the Fed to continue to manage interest rate volatility through careful telegraphing of its actions and to eventually withdraw QE before hitting its target unemployment rate. The pace may be slow, but continued improvements in the labor market and housing remain powerful drivers of growth in both the near and long terms.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE

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

This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2013 to June 30, 2013).

Note: Expenses do not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 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. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

  BEGINNING ENDING EXPENSES PAID
  ACCOUNT VALUE ACCOUNT VALUE DURING PERIOD*
  1/1/13 6/30/13 1/1/13 - 6/30/13

Hypothetical
(5% return per year before expenses)
$1,000.00 $1,022.71 $2.11

 

* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.42%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General: Calvert VP S&P 500 Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. (the “Fund”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is comprised of twelve separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. Shares of the Portfolio are sold without sales charge to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts.

Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Portfolio uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (“the Board”) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The Board has adopted Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining the fair value of assets of the Portfolio to Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Calvert”) and has provided these Procedures to govern Calvert in its valuation duties.

Calvert has chartered an internal Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these Procedures and to assist it in carrying out the valuation responsibilities that the Board has delegated.

The Valuation Committee meets on a regular basis to review illiquid securities and other investments which may not have readily available market prices. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

The Valuation Committee utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of the Portfolio’s investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

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

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. There were no such transfers during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio’s investments by major category are as follows:

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP S&P 500 INDEX PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 25


 

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded.

If events occur after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the Portfolio, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. For restricted securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and such securities are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Exchange traded products are valued at the official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities. For U.S. government obligations, pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices and such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing matrices which consider similar factors that would be used by independent pricing services. These are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a sig-nificant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee.

The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.

The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the fund may employ an income-based or cost approach. An income-based valuation approach discounts anticipated future cash flows of the investment to calculate a present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. A cost based approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (current replacement cost). From the seller’s perspective, the price that would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a buyer to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.

The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis and reviews of any related market activity.

At June 30, 2013, no securities were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of June 30, 2013:

  VALUATION INPUTS
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 TOTAL
Equity securities* $328,544,487 $328,544,487
Exchange traded products 7,216,451 7,216,451
U.S. government obligations $499,858 499,858
Other debt obligations 1,147,085 1,147,085
TOTAL $335,760,938 $1,646,943 $337,407,881
 
Other financial instruments** $953 $953

 

* For further breakdown of equity securities by industry type, please refer to the Statement of Net Assets.

** Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Statement of Net Assets, such as futures, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the instrument.

Futures Contracts: The Portfolio may purchase and sell futures contracts, when, in the judgment of the Advisor, such a position acts as a hedge, or to provide equity market exposure to the Portfolio’s uncommitted cash balances. The Portfolio may not enter into futures contracts for the purpose of speculation or leverage. These futures contracts may include, but are not limited to, market index futures contracts. The Portfolio is subject to market risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and may use futures contracts to hedge against changes in the value of securities. The Portfolio may enter into futures contracts agreeing to buy or sell a financial instrument for a set price at a future date. Initial margin deposits of either cash or securities as required by the broker are made upon entering into the contract. While the contract is open, daily variation margin payments are made to or received from the broker reflecting the daily change in market value of the contract and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Portfolio. When a futures contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract. The risks associated with entering into futures contracts may include the possible illiquidity of the secondary market which would limit the Portfolio’s ability to close out a futures contract prior to the settlement date, an imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying financial instruments, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations under the contracts’ terms. Futures contracts are designed by boards of trade which are designated “contracts markets” by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. Futures contracts trade on the contracts markets in a manner that is similar to the way a stock trades on a stock exchange and the boards of trade, through their clearing corporations, guarantee the futures contracts against default. As a result, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Portfolio. During the period, futures contracts were used to hedge the lack of equity market exposure inherent in a cash position. The Portfolio’s futures contracts at period end are presented in the Statement of Net Assets.

During the period, the Portfolio invested in E-Mini S&P 500 Index and S&P 500 Index futures. The volume of activity has varied throughout the period with a weighted average of 74 contracts and $308,225 weighted average notional value.

Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned.

Foreign Currency Transactions: The Portfolio’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. For valuation of assets and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, foreign denominations are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. Security transactions, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of the event. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on securities and foreign currencies is included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Portfolio on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Portfolio’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.

Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.

Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. A Portfolio’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

NOTE D — LINE OF CREDIT

A financing agreement is in place with the Calvert Funds and State Street Corporation (“SSC”). Under the agreement, SSC provides an unsecured line of credit facility, in the aggregate amount of $50 million ($25 million committed and $25 million uncommitted), accessible by the Funds for temporary or emergency purposes only. Borrowings under the committed facility bear interest at the higher of the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 1.25% per annum. A commitment fee of .11% per annum is incurred on the unused portion of the committed facility, which is allocated to all participating funds. The Portfolio had no borrowings under the agreement during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

NOTE E — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In preparing the financial statements as of June 30, 2013, no subsequent events or transactions occurred that would have required recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.

NOTE F — REORGANIZATION

On December 12, 2012, the Board of Directors approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”), providing for the transfer of all of the assets of Calvert VP SRI Strategic Portfolio (“Strategic”) in exchange for shares of the acquiring portfolio, Calvert VP S&P 500 Index Portfolio (“S&P 500”) and the assumption of the liabilities of Strategic. Shareholders approved the Plan at a meeting on April 19, 2013 and the reorganization took place on April 30, 2013.

The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of the following shares:

    ACQUIRING    
MERGED PORTFOLIO SHARES PORTFOLIO SHARES VALUE
STRATEGIC 1,451,200 S&P 500 297,026 $28,959,426

 

For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by S&P 500 were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from Strategic were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of S&P 500’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.

The net assets and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) immediately before the acquisitions were as follows:

    UNREALIZED    
  NET APPRECIATION ACQUIRING NET
MERGED PORTFOLIO ASSETS (DEPRECIATION) PORTFOLIO ASSETS
STRATEGIC $28,959,426 $2,950,144 S&P 500 $312,858,280

 

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP S&P 500 INDEX PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 30


 

Assuming the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2013, S&P 500’s results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013 would have been as follows:

Net investment income $2,795,877 (a)
Net realized and change in unrealized gain (loss) on investments $39,570,557 (b)
Net increase (decrease) in assets from operations $42,366,434  

 

Because S&P 500 and Strategic sold and redeemed shares throughout the period, it is not practicable to provide pro-forma information on a per-share basis.

Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is also not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of Strategic that have been included in S&P 500’s Statement of Operations since April 30, 2013.

(a) $2,693,276 as reported, plus $102,601 from Strategic pre-merger.

(b) $35,955,292 as reported, plus $3,615,265 from Strategic pre-merger.

EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL TABLES

SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS

The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.

STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities typically include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.

STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS

The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.

At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.

STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP S&P 500 INDEX PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 34


 

STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS

The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.

The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown by class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio – how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.

INVESTMENT CLIMATE

The U.S. equity rally that commenced in late 2012 continued nearly unabated throughout the first half of 2013. It was not until after the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 Index hit all-time highs in May that volatility re-entered the picture with a brief June pullback. Market participants largely ignored a weak global macroeconomic environment and fears of fiscal drag from the U.S. sequester. Instead, they focused on continued accommodative monetary policy from the Federal Reserve (Fed) and incrementally stronger U.S. macroeconomic data.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, the S&P 500 Index and Russell 1000 Index returned 13.82% and 13.91%, respectively, while the MSCI EAFE Index went up 4.47% and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index went down 9.40%. Small-cap stocks outperformed large-cap stocks with the Russell 2000 Index returning 15.86%, and value stocks outperformed growth stocks with the Russell 1000 Value Index returning 15.90% compared with the Russell 1000 Growth Index’s return of 11.80%.

Within the Russell 1000 Index, Financials, Health Care, and Consumer Discretionary were the top-performing sectors. The defensive sectors, especially Utilities and Telecommunications, were weak through the first half of 2013, which was dominated by higher-beta stocks in early-cycle industries—especially in the first quarter. The Energy and Materials sectors showed brief strength early in the year, but sold off on fears of a global growth slowdown and Middle East tensions, finishing among the worst performers for the period.

The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Visit www.calvert.com/institutional-VP-performance.html for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for Class I shares is 0.53%. This number may vary from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period and, if applicable, does not include fee or expense waivers. The performance data and expense ratio reflect deduction of Portfolio operating expenses, but do not reflect charges and expenses imposed under the variable annuity or life insurance contract.

*Class F share performance prior to October 1, 2007 is based on Class I performance, adjusted to reflect Class F expenses.

**Total Return is not annualized for periods of less than one year.

Corporate earnings showed continued revenue weakness with aggregate top-line growth for the S&P 500 Index falling 1.30% in the first quarter. However, earnings news was largely overshadowed by the improving U.S. macroeconomic environment. The U.S. consumer remains upbeat, with sales of both homes and autos continuing to increase. In housing, sales of previously owned homes hit a three-year high in May and buyers do not yet seem concerned by the prospect of rising interest rates.

Jobless claims continued to inch down and the seasonally adjusted labor force participation rate began to reverse its downward trend in April, signaling that the unemployed are returning to the ranks of active job seekers. Nonfarm payrolls spiked in February, but maintained a fairly consistent level of just under 200,000 new jobs added monthly. Inflation remained tame, allowing the Fed to maintain its accommodative monetary policy stance.

However, minutes of Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings released during the first half of the year indicate growing tensions between members who feel quantitative easing (QE) should be tapered sooner than later and those who prefer to wait for further gains in labor and price stability before slowing the purchases of Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities. In mid-June, confusion surrounding the eventual tapering of QE purchases culminated in a brief market pullback, although profit-taking likely had much to do with it as well.

Eurozone economic woes continued unabated. Governments across the peripheral economies faced a backlash from a populace tired of economic austerity. Growth remained sluggish throughout the eurozone and Moody’s cut the United Kingdom’s AAA credit rating to Aa1. An interest rate cut by the European Central Bank in May provided a brief rally in the eurozone, but the region remains mired in a host of economic woes, including unemployment, which hit a staggering near 50% among youth in countries such as Spain.

In Asia, the Bank of Japan unleashed unprecedented QE measures that triggered a massive rally in Japanese equities with an attendant large decline in the yen versus the dollar. It remains to be seen whether these measures will be able to overcome Japan’s demographic challenges and return the nation to its former competitiveness. However, it is encouraging to see a policy shift after decades of ignoring monetary measures in favor of largely futile fiscal stimulus.

Elsewhere in Asia, China faced continued fears of a slowing economy that culminated in a strong sell-off of nearly 14% on the Shanghai Composite in June alone. Although the officially reported Chinese gross domestic product (GDP) figures remain in the high 7% range, other statistics such as PMI manufacturing, industrial production, and trade all point to an economy in a slowing growth phase. In addition, the Chinese government announced a policy shift in early summer that would favor a smaller role for the government in the economy going forward.

OUTLOOK

While problems abound, the United States remains a bright spot in an otherwise shaky global economic picture. Given the year-to-date strength of U.S. equities, pullbacks in the second half of 2013 should be expected and welcomed as a sign of healthy markets. We believe the fiscal drag from the sequester should peak in the third quarter. Furthermore, companies will be eager to reduce earnings estimates for an easy beat on second-quarter earnings. The ever-present fears of a slowing QE will remain through year end.

Withdrawal of QE, however painful it may be for certain asset classes, won’t prevent the economy from growing. We expect the Fed to continue to manage interest rate volatility through careful telegraphing of its actions and to eventually withdraw QE before hitting its target unemployment rate. The pace may be slow, but continued improvements in the labor market and housing remain powerful drivers of growth in both the near and long terms.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE

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

This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2013 to June 30, 2013).

Note: Expenses do not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 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. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A –- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General: Calvert VP S&P MidCap 400 Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. (the “Fund”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is comprised of twelve separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. Shares of the Portfolio are sold without sales charge to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts. The Portfolio offers Class F and Class I shares. Class F shares are subject to Distribution Plan Expenses, while Class I shares are not. Each class has different: (a) dividend rates, due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class-specific expenses, (b) exchange privileges; and (c) class-specific voting rights.

Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Portfolio uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (“the Board”) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The Board has adopted Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining the fair value of assets of the Portfolio to Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Calvert”) and has provided these Procedures to govern Calvert in its valuation duties.

Calvert has chartered an internal Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these Procedures and to assist it in carrying out the valuation responsibilities that the Board has delegated.

The Valuation Committee meets on a regular basis to review illiquid securities and other investments which may not have readily available market prices. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

The Valuation Committee utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of the Portfolio’s investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

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

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP S&P MIDCAP 400 INDEX PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 22


 

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. There were no such transfers during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio’s investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the Portfolio, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. For restricted securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and such securities are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Exchange traded products are valued at the official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities. For U.S. government obligations, pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices and such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing matrices which consider similar factors that would be used by independent pricing services. These are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee.

The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.

The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the fund may employ an income-based or cost approach. An income-based valuation approach discounts anticipated future cash flows of the investment to

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP S&P MIDCAP 400 INDEX PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 23


 

calculate a present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. A cost based approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (current replacement cost). From the seller’s perspective, the price that would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a buyer to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.

The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis and reviews of any related market activity.

At June 30, 2013, securities valued at $10, or 0% of net assets, were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of June 30, 2013:

      VALUATION INPUTS      
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES LEVEL 1   LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3   TOTAL  
Equity securities** $206,531,242   $10   $206,531,252

Other financial instruments*** ($149,454 )   ($149,454 )

 

* Level 3 securities represent 0.0% of net assets.

** For further breakdown of equity securities by industry type, please refer to the Statement of Net Assets.

***Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Statement of Net Assets, such as futures, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the instrument.

Futures Contracts: The Portfolio may purchase and sell futures contracts, when, in the judgment of the Advisor, such a position acts as a hedge, or to provide equity market exposure to the Portfolio’s uncommitted cash balances. The Portfolio may not enter into futures contracts for the purpose of speculation or leverage. These futures contracts may include, but are not limited to, market index futures contracts. The Portfolio is subject to market risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and may use futures contracts to hedge against changes in the value of securities. The Portfolio may enter into futures contracts agreeing to buy or sell a financial instrument for a set price at a future date. Initial margin deposits of either cash or securities as required by the broker are made upon entering into the contract. While the contract is open, daily variation margin payments are made to or received from the broker reflecting the daily change in market value of the contract and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Portfolio. When a futures contract is closed, a realized gain or

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP S&P MIDCAP 400 INDEX PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 24


 

loss is recorded equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract. The risks associated with entering into futures contracts may include the possible illiquidity of the secondary market which would limit the Portfolio’s ability to close out a futures contract prior to the settlement date, an imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying financial instruments, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations under the contracts’ terms. Futures contracts are designed by boards of trade which are designated “contracts markets” by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. Futures contracts trade on the contracts markets in a manner that is similar to the way a stock trades on a stock exchange and the boards of trade, through their clearing corporations, guarantee the futures contracts against default. As a result, there is minimal counter-party credit risk to the Portfolio. During the period, futures contracts were used to hedge the lack of equity market exposure inherent in a cash position. The Portfolio’s futures contracts at period end are presented in the Statement of Net Assets.

During the period, the Portfolio invested in E-Mini S&P 400 Index futures. The volume of activity has varied throughout the period with a weighted average of 31 contracts and $897,493 weighted average notional value.

Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to separate classes of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class. Expenses common to the classes are allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets.

Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Portfolio on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Portfolio’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.

Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.

Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. A Portfolio’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL TABLES

SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS

The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.

STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities typically include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.

STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS

The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.

At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.

STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP S&P MIDCAP 400 INDEX PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 31


 

STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS

The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.

The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown by class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio – how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.

INVESTMENT CLIMATE

The U.S. equity rally that commenced in late 2012 continued nearly unabated throughout the first half of 2013. It was not until after the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 Index hit all-time highs in May that volatility re-entered the picture with a brief June pullback. Market participants largely ignored a weak global macroeconomic environment and fears of fiscal drag from the U.S. sequester. Instead, they focused on continued accommodative monetary policy from the Federal Reserve (Fed) and incrementally stronger U.S. macroeconomic data.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, the S&P 500 Index and Russell 1000 Index returned 13.82% and 13.91%, respectively, while the MSCI EAFE Index went up 4.47% and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index went down 9.40%. Small-cap stocks outperformed large-cap stocks with the Russell 2000 Index returning 15.86%, and value stocks outperformed growth stocks with the Russell 1000 Value Index returning 15.90% compared with the Russell 1000 Growth Index’s return of 11.80%.

Within the Russell 1000 Index, Financials, Health Care, and Consumer Discretionary were the top-performing sectors. The defensive sectors, especially Utilities and Telecommunications, were weak through the first half of 2013, which was dominated by higher-beta stocks in early-cycle industries—especially in the first quarter. The Energy and Materials sectors showed brief strength early in the year, but sold off on fears of a global growth slowdown and Middle East tensions, finishing among the worst performers for the period.

Corporate earnings showed continued revenue weakness with aggregate top-line growth for the S&P 500 Index falling 1.30% in the first quarter. However, earnings news was largely overshadowed by the improving U.S. macroeconomic environment. The U.S. consumer remains upbeat, with sales of both homes and autos continuing to increase. In housing, sales of previously owned homes hit a three-year high in May and buyers do not yet seem

The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Visit www.calvert. com/institutional-VP-performance.html for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for the Portfolio is 0.63%. This number may vary from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period and, if applicable, does not include fee or expense waivers. The performance data and expense ratio reflect deduction of Portfolio operating expenses, but do not reflect charges and expenses imposed under the variable annuity or life insurance contract.

concerned by the prospect of rising interest rates.

Jobless claims continued to inch down and the seasonally adjusted labor force participation rate began to reverse its downward trend in April, signaling that the unemployed are returning to the ranks of active job seekers. Nonfarm payrolls spiked in February, but maintained a fairly consistent level of just under 200,000 new jobs added monthly. Inflation remained tame, allowing the Fed to maintain its accommodative monetary policy stance.

However, minutes of Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings released during the first half of the year indicate growing tensions between members who feel quantitative easing (QE) should be tapered sooner than later and those who prefer to wait for further gains in labor and price stability before slowing the purchases of Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities. In mid-June, confusion surrounding the eventual tapering of QE purchases culminated in a brief market pullback, although profit-taking likely had much to do with it as well.

Eurozone economic woes continued unabated. Governments across the peripheral economies faced a backlash from a populace tired of economic austerity. Growth remained sluggish throughout the eurozone and Moody’s cut the United Kingdom’s AAA credit rating to Aa1. An interest rate cut by the European Central Bank in May provided a brief rally in the eurozone, but the region remains mired in a host of economic woes, including unemployment, which hit a staggering near 50% among youth in countries such as Spain.

In Asia, the Bank of Japan unleashed unprecedented QE measures that triggered a massive rally in Japanese equities with an attendant large decline in the yen versus the dollar. It remains to be seen whether these measures will be able to overcome Japan’s demographic challenges and return the nation to its former competitiveness. However, it is encouraging to see a policy shift after decades of ignoring monetary measures in favor of largely futile fiscal stimulus.

Elsewhere in Asia, China faced continued fears of a slowing economy that culminated in a strong sell-off of nearly 14% on the Shanghai Composite in June alone. Although the officially reported Chinese gross domestic product (GDP) figures remain in the high 7% range, other statistics such as PMI manufacturing, industrial production, and trade all point to an economy in a slowing growth phase. In addition, the Chinese government announced a policy shift in early summer that would favor a smaller role for the government in the economy going forward.

OUTLOOK

While problems abound, the United States remains a bright spot in an otherwise shaky global economic picture. Given the year-to-date strength of U.S. equities, pullbacks in the second half of 2013 should be expected and welcomed as a sign of healthy markets. We believe the fiscal drag from the sequester should peak in the third quarter. Furthermore, companies will be eager to reduce earnings estimates for an easy beat on second-quarter earnings. The ever-present fears of a slowing QE will remain through year end.

Withdrawal of QE, however painful it may be for certain asset classes, won’t prevent the economy from growing. We expect the Fed to continue to manage interest rate volatility through careful telegraphing of its actions and to eventually withdraw QE before hitting its target unemployment rate. The pace may be slow, but continued improvements in the labor market and housing remain powerful drivers of growth in both the near and long terms.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE

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

This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2013 to June 30, 2013).

Note: Expenses do not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 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. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

  BEGINNING ENDING EXPENSES PAID
  ACCOUNT VALUE ACCOUNT VALUE DURING PERIOD*
  1/1/13 6/30/13 1/1/13 - 6/30/13

Hypothetical
(5% return per year before expenses)
$1,000.00 $1,021.71 $3.12

 

* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.62%, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A –- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General: Calvert VP Nasdaq 100 Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. (the “Fund”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is comprised of twelve separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. Shares of the Portfolio are sold without sales charge to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts.

Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Portfolio uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (“the Board”) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The Board has adopted Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining the fair value of assets of the Portfolio to Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Calvert”) and has provided these Procedures to govern Calvert in its valuation duties.

Calvert has chartered an internal Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these Procedures and to assist it in carrying out the valuation responsibilities that the Board has delegated.

The Valuation Committee meets on a regular basis to review illiquid securities and other investments which may not have readily available market prices. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

The Valuation Committee utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of the Portfolio’s investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

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

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. There were no such transfers during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio’s investments by major category are as follows:

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP NASDAQ 100 INDEX PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 15


 

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the Portfolio, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. For restricted securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and such securities are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Exchange traded products are valued at the official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities. For U.S. government obligations, pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices and such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing matrices which consider similar factors that would be used by independent pricing services. These are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee.

The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.

The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the fund may employ an income-based or cost approach. An income-based valuation approach discounts anticipated future cash flows of the investment to calculate a present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. A cost based approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (current replacement cost). From the seller’s perspective, the price

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP NASDAQ 100 INDEX PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 16


 

that would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a buyer to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.

The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis and reviews of any related market activity.

At June 30, 2013, no securities were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of June 30, 2013:

Futures Contracts: The Portfolio may purchase and sell futures contracts, when, in the judgment of the Advisor, such a position acts as a hedge, or to provide equity market exposure to the Portfolio’s uncommitted cash balances. The Portfolio may not enter into futures contracts for the purpose of speculation or leverage. These futures contracts may include, but are not limited to, market index futures contracts. The Portfolio is subject to market risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and may use futures contracts to hedge against changes in the value of securities. The Portfolio may enter into futures contracts agreeing to buy or sell a financial instrument for a set price at a future date. Initial margin deposits of either cash or securities as required by the broker are made upon entering into the contract. While the contract is open, daily variation margin payments are made to or received from the broker reflecting the daily change in market value of the contract and are recorded for finan-cial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Portfolio. When a futures contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract. The risks associated with entering into futures contracts may include the possible illiquidity of the secondary market which would limit the Portfolio’s ability to close out a futures contract prior to the settlement date, an imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying financial instruments, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations under the contracts’ terms. Futures contracts are designed by boards of trade which are designated “contracts markets” by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. Futures contracts trade on the

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP NASDAQ 100 INDEX PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 17


 

contracts markets in a manner that is similar to the way a stock trades on a stock exchange and the boards of trade, through their clearing corporations, guarantee the futures contracts against default. As a result, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Portfolio. During the period, futures contracts were used to hedge the lack of equity market exposure inherent in a cash position.

During the period, the Portfolio invested in E-Mini NASDAQ 100 Index futures. The Portfolio’s futures contracts at period end, as presented in the Statement of Net Assets, are generally indicative of the volume of futures contract activity during the period.

Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gains are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned.

Foreign Currency Transactions: The Portfolio’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. For valuation of assets and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, foreign denominations are converted into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. Security transactions, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of the event. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on securities is included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Portfolio on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Portfolio’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.

Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.

Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. A Portfolio’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL TABLES

SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS

The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.

STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities typically include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.

STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS

The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.

At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.

STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP NASDAQ 100 INDEX PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 23


 

STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS

The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.

The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown by class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio – how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.

INVESTMENT CLIMATE

The U.S. equity rally that commenced in late 2012 continued nearly unabated throughout the first half of 2013. It was not until after the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 Index hit all-time highs in May that volatility re-entered the picture with a brief June pullback. Market participants largely ignored a weak global macroeconomic environment and fears of fiscal drag from the U.S. sequester. Instead, they focused on continued accommodative monetary policy from the Federal Reserve (Fed) and incrementally stronger U.S. macroeconomic data.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, the S&P 500 Index and Russell 1000 Index returned 13.82% and 13.91%, respectively, while the MSCI EAFE Index went up 4.47% and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index went down 9.40%. Small-cap stocks outperformed large-cap stocks with the Russell 2000 Index returning 15.86%, and value stocks outperformed growth stocks with the Russell 1000 Value Index returning 15.90% compared with the Russell 1000 Growth Index’s return of 11.80%.

Within the Russell 1000 Index, Financials, Health Care, and Consumer Discretionary were the top-performing sectors. The defensive sectors, especially Utilities and Telecommunications, were weak through the first half of 2013, which was dominated by higher-beta stocks in early-cycle industries—especially in the first quarter. The Energy and Materials sectors showed brief strength early in the year, but sold off on fears of a global growth slowdown and Middle East tensions, finishing among the worst performers for the period.

The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Visit www.calvert.com/ institutional-VP-performance.html for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for Class I shares is 0.73%. This number may vary from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period and, if applicable, does not include fee or expense waivers. The performance data and expense ratio reflect deduction of Portfolio operating expenses, but do not reflect charges and expenses imposed under the variable annuity or life insurance contract.

* Class F share performance prior to October 1, 2007 is based on Class I performance, adjusted to reflect Class F expenses.

**Total Return is not annualized for periods of less than one year.

Corporate earnings showed continued revenue weakness with aggregate top-line growth for the S&P 500 Index falling 1.30% in the first quarter. However, earnings news was largely overshadowed by the improving U.S. macroeconomic environment. The U.S. consumer remains upbeat, with sales of both homes and autos continuing to increase. In housing, sales of previously owned homes hit a three-year high in May and buyers do not yet seem concerned by the prospect of rising interest rates.

Jobless claims continued to inch down and the seasonally adjusted labor force participation rate began to reverse its downward trend in April, signaling that the unemployed are returning to the ranks of active job seekers. Nonfarm payrolls spiked in February, but maintained a fairly consistent level of just under 200,000 new jobs added monthly. Inflation remained tame, allowing the Fed to maintain its accommodative monetary policy stance.

However, minutes of Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings released during the first half of the year indicate growing tensions between members who feel quantitative easing (QE) should be tapered sooner than later and those who prefer to wait for further gains in labor and price stability before slowing the purchases of Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities. In mid-June, confusion surrounding the eventual tapering of QE purchases culminated in a brief market pullback, although profit-taking likely had much to do with it as well.

Eurozone economic woes continued unabated. Governments across the peripheral economies faced a backlash from a populace tired of economic austerity. Growth remained sluggish throughout the eurozone and Moody’s cut the United Kingdom’s AAA credit rating to Aa1. An interest rate cut by the European Central Bank in May provided a brief rally in the eurozone, but the region remains mired in a host of economic woes, including unemployment, which hit a staggering near 50% among youth in countries such as Spain.

In Asia, the Bank of Japan unleashed unprecedented QE measures that triggered a massive rally in Japanese equities with an attendant large decline in the yen versus the dollar. It remains to be seen whether these measures will be able to overcome Japan’s demographic challenges and return the nation to its former competitiveness. However, it is encouraging to see a policy shift after decades of ignoring monetary measures in favor of largely futile fiscal stimulus.

Elsewhere in Asia, China faced continued fears of a slowing economy that culminated in a strong sell-off of nearly 14% on the Shanghai Composite in June alone. Although the officially reported Chinese gross domestic product (GDP) figures remain in the high 7% range, other statistics such as PMI manufacturing, industrial production, and trade all point to an economy in a slowing growth phase. In addition, the Chinese government announced a policy shift in early summer that would favor a smaller role for the government in the economy going forward.

OUTLOOK

While problems abound, the United States remains a bright spot in an otherwise shaky global economic picture. Given the year-to-date strength of U.S. equities, pullbacks in the second half of 2013 should be expected and welcomed as a sign of healthy markets. We believe the fiscal drag from the sequester should peak in the third quarter. Furthermore, companies will be eager to reduce earnings estimates for an easy beat on second-quarter earnings. The ever-present fears of a slowing QE will remain through year end.

Withdrawal of QE, however painful it may be for certain asset classes, won’t prevent the economy from growing. We expect the Fed to continue to manage interest rate volatility through careful telegraphing of its actions and to eventually withdraw QE before hitting its target unemployment rate. The pace may be slow, but continued improvements in the labor market and housing remain powerful drivers of growth in both the near and long terms.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE

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

This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2013 to June 30, 2013).

Note: Expenses do not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 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. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A –- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General: Calvert VP Russell 2000 Small Cap Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. (the “Fund”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is comprised of twelve separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. Shares of the Portfolio are sold without sales charge to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts. The Portfolio offers Class F and Class I shares. Class F shares are subject to Distribution Plan Expenses, while Class I shares are not. Each class has different: (a) dividend rates, due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class-specific expenses, (b) exchange privileges; and (c) class-specific voting rights.

Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Portfolio uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (“the Board”) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The Board has adopted Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining the fair value of assets of the Portfolio to Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Calvert”) and has provided these Procedures to govern Calvert in its valuation duties.

Calvert has chartered an internal Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these Procedures and to assist it in carrying out the valuation responsibilities that the Board has delegated.

The Valuation Committee meets on a regular basis to review illiquid securities and other investments which may not have readily available market prices. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

The Valuation Committee utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of the Portfolio’s investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

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

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP RUSSELL 2000 SMALL CAP INDEX PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 55


 

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. There were no such transfers during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio’s investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the Portfolio, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. For restricted securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and such securities are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Exchange traded products and closed-end funds are valued at the official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities. For U.S. government obligations, pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices and such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing matrices which consider similar factors that would be used by independent pricing services. These are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee.

The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.

The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the fund may employ an income-based or

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP RUSSELL 2000 SMALL CAP INDEX PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 56


 

cost approach. An income-based valuation approach discounts anticipated future cash flows of the investment to calculate a present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. A cost based approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (current replacement cost). From the seller’s perspective, the price that would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a buyer to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.

The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis and reviews of any related market activity.

At June 30, 2013, securities valued at $18, or 0% of net assets, were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of June 30, 2013:

*Level 3 securities represent 0.0% of net assets.

** For further breakdown of equity securities by industry type, please refer to the Schedule of Investments.

*** Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Schedule of Investments, such as futures, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on the instrument.

Futures Contracts: The Portfolio may purchase and sell futures contracts, when, in the judgment of the Advisor, such a position acts as a hedge, or to provide equity market exposure to the Portfolio’s uncommitted cash balances. The Portfolio may not enter into futures contracts for the purpose of speculation or leverage. These futures contracts may include, but are not limited to, market index futures contracts. The Portfolio is subject to market risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and may use futures contracts to hedge against changes in the value of securities. The Portfolio may enter into futures contracts agreeing to buy or sell a financial instrument for a set price at a future date. Initial margin deposits of either cash or securities as required by the broker are made upon entering into the contract. While the contract is open, daily variation margin payments are made to or received from the broker reflecting the daily change in market value of the contract and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Portfolio. When a futures contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract. The risks

associated with entering into futures contracts may include the possible illiquidity of the secondary market which would limit the Portfolio’s ability to close out a futures contract prior to the settlement date, an imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying financial instruments, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations under the contracts’ terms. Futures contracts are designed by boards of trade which are designated “contracts markets” by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. Futures contracts trade on the contracts markets in a manner that is similar to the way a stock trades on a stock exchange and the boards of trade, through their clearing corporations, guarantee the futures contracts against default. As a result, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Portfolio. During the period, futures contracts were used to hedge the lack of equity exposure inherent in a cash position. The Portfolio’s futures contracts at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments.

During the period, the Portfolio invested in E-Mini Russell 2000 Index futures. The volume of activity has varied throughout the period with a weighted average of 15 contracts and $408,827 weighted average notional value.

Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of certain foreign securities, as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to separate classes of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class. Expenses common to the classes are allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets.

Foreign Currency Transactions: The Portfolio’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. For valuation of assets and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, foreign denominations are converted into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. Security transactions, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of the event. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on securities and foreign currencies is included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments and foreign currencies.

Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Portfolio on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Portfolio’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.

Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP RUSSELL 2000 SMALL CAP INDEX PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 58


 

Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. A Portfolio’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL TABLES

SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS

The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.

STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities typically include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.

STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS

The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.

At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.

STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP RUSSELL 2000 SMALL CAP INDEX PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 64


 

STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS

The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.

The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown by class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio – how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.

INVESTMENT CLIMATE

The U.S. equity rally that commenced in late 2012 continued nearly unabated throughout the first half of 2013. It was not until after the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 Index hit all-time highs in May that volatility re-entered the picture with a brief June pullback. Market participants largely ignored a weak global macroeconomic environment and fears of fiscal drag from the U.S. sequester. Instead, they focused on continued accommodative monetary policy from the Federal Reserve (Fed) and incrementally stronger U.S. macroeconomic data.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, the S&P 500 Index and Russell 1000 Index returned 13.82% and 13.91%, respectively, while the MSCI EAFE Index went up 4.47% and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index went down 9.40%. Small-cap stocks outperformed large-cap stocks with the Russell 2000 Index returning 15.86%, and value stocks outperformed growth stocks with the Russell 1000 Value Index returning 15.90% compared with the Russell 1000 Growth Index’s return of 11.80%.

Within the Russell 1000 Index, Financials, Health Care, and Consumer Discretionary were the top-performing sectors. The defensive sectors, especially Utilities and Telecommunications, were weak through the first half of 2013, which was dominated by higher-beta stocks in early-cycle industries—especially in the first quarter. The Energy and Materials sectors showed brief strength early in the year, but sold off on fears of a global growth slowdown and Middle East tensions, finishing among the worst performers for the period.

The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Visit www.calvert.com/ institutional-VP-performance.html for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for Class I Shares is 0.96%. This number may vary from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period and, if applicable, does not include fee or expense waivers. The performance data and expense ratio reflect deduction of Portfolio operating expenses, but do not reflect charges and expenses imposed under the variable annuity or life insurance contract.

* Class F share performance prior to October 1, 2007 is based on Class I performance, adjusted to reflect Class F expenses.

**Total Return is not annualized for periods of less than one year.

Corporate earnings showed continued revenue weakness with aggregate top-line growth for the S&P 500 Index falling 1.30% in the first quarter. However, earnings news was largely overshadowed by the improving U.S. macroeconomic environment. The U.S. consumer remains upbeat, with sales of both homes and autos continuing to increase. In housing, sales of previously owned homes hit a three-year high in May and buyers do not yet seem concerned by the prospect of rising interest rates.

Jobless claims continued to inch down and the seasonally adjusted labor force participation rate began to reverse its downward trend in April, signaling that the unemployed are returning to the ranks of active job seekers. Nonfarm payrolls spiked in February, but maintained a fairly consistent level of just under 200,000 new jobs added monthly. Inflation remained tame, allowing the Fed to maintain its accommodative monetary policy stance.

However, minutes of Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings released during the first half of the year indicate growing tensions between members who feel quantitative easing (QE) should be tapered sooner than later and those who prefer to wait for further gains in labor and price stability before slowing the purchases of Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities. In mid-June, confusion surrounding the eventual tapering of QE purchases culminated in a brief market pullback, although profit-taking likely had much to do with it as well.

Eurozone economic woes continued unabated. Governments across the peripheral economies faced a backlash from a populace tired of economic austerity. Growth remained sluggish throughout the eurozone and Moody’s cut the United Kingdom’s AAA credit rating to Aa1. An interest rate cut by the European Central Bank in May provided a brief rally in the eurozone, but the region remains mired in a host of economic woes, including unemployment, which hit a staggering near 50% among youth in countries such as Spain.

In Asia, the Bank of Japan unleashed unprecedented QE measures that triggered a massive rally in Japanese equities with an attendant large decline in the yen versus the dollar. It remains to be seen whether these measures will be able to overcome Japan’s demographic challenges and return the nation to its former competitiveness. However, it is encouraging to see a policy shift after decades of ignoring monetary measures in favor of largely futile fiscal stimulus.

Elsewhere in Asia, China faced continued fears of a slowing economy that culminated in a strong sell-off of nearly 14% on the Shanghai Composite in June alone. Although the officially reported Chinese gross domestic product (GDP) figures remain in the high 7% range, other statistics such as PMI manufacturing, industrial production, and trade all point to an economy in a slowing growth phase. In addition, the Chinese government announced a policy shift in early summer that would favor a smaller role for the government in the economy going forward.

While problems abound, the United States remains a bright spot in an otherwise shaky global economic picture. Given the year-to-date strength of U.S. equities, pullbacks in the second half of 2013 should be expected and welcomed as a sign of healthy markets. We believe the fiscal drag from the sequester should peak in the third quarter. Furthermore, companies will be eager to reduce earnings estimates for an easy beat on second-quarter earnings. The ever-present fears of a slowing QE will remain through year end.

Withdrawal of QE, however painful it may be for certain asset classes, won’t prevent the economy from growing. We expect the Fed to continue to manage interest rate volatility through careful telegraphing of its actions and to eventually withdraw QE before hitting its target unemployment rate. The pace may be slow, but continued improvements in the labor market and housing remain powerful drivers of growth in both the near and long terms.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE

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

This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2013 to June 30, 2013).

Note: Expenses do not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 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. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

* Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio of 0.96% and 1.17%, respectively, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A –- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General: Calvert VP EAFE International Index Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. (the “Fund”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is comprised of twelve separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. Shares of the Portfolio are sold without sales charge to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts. The Portfolio offers Class F and Class I shares. Class F shares are subject to Distribution Plan Expenses, while Class I shares are not. Each class has different: (a) dividend rates, due to differences in Distribution Plan expenses and other class-specific expenses, (b) exchange privileges; and (c) class-specific voting rights.

Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Portfolio uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (“the Board”) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The Board has adopted Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining the fair value of assets of the Portfolio to Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Calvert”) and has provided these Procedures to govern Calvert in its valuation duties.

Calvert has chartered an internal Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these Procedures and to assist it in carrying out the valuation responsibilities that the Board has delegated.

The Valuation Committee meets on a regular basis to review illiquid securities and other investments which may not have readily available market prices. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

The Valuation Committee utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of the Portfolio’s investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

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

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP EAFE INTERNATIONAL INDEX PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 32


 

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio’s investments by major category are as follows:

Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Foreign securities are valued based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are normally traded. If events occur after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are traded, and before the close of business of the Portfolio, that are expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are valued at their fair value taking these events into account. The Portfolio has retained a third party fair value pricing service to quantitatively analyze the price movement of its holdings on foreign exchanges and to automatically fair value if the variation from the prior day’s closing price exceeds specified parameters. Such securities would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy in these circumstances. Utilizing this technique may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. For restricted securities and private placements where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and such securities are categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.

Exchange traded funds are valued at the official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee.

The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.

The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the fund may employ an income-based or cost approach. An income-based valuation approach discounts anticipated future cash flows of the investment to calculate a present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. A cost based approach is based on the amount that currently would be

required to replace the service capacity of an asset (current replacement cost). From the seller’s perspective, the price that would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a buyer to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.

The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis and reviews of any related market activity.

At June 30, 2013, securities valued at $0 or 0% of net assets were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of June 30, 2013:

  VALUATION INPUTS
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 TOTAL
Equity securities* $140,079,707 $140,079,707
Exchange traded products 2,485,874 2,485,874
TOTALS $142,565,581 $142,565,581

 

*For further breakdown of Equity Securities by country, please refer to the Statement of Net Assets.

As of June 30, 2013, a significant transfer out of Level 2 and into Level 1 occurred. On June 30, 2013, price movements did not exceed specified parameters and the third party fair value pricing service did not quantitatively fair value the affected securities. On December 31, 2012, price movements had exceeded specified paramters and the third party fair value pricing service had quantitatively fair valued the transfered securities.

Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or, in the case of dividends on certain foreign securities, as soon as the Portfolio is informed of the ex-dividend date. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Portfolio’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Investment income and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to separate classes of shares based upon the relative net assets of each class. Expenses arising in connection with a specific class are charged directly to that class. Expenses common to the classes are allocated to each class in proportion to their relative net assets.

Foreign Currency Transactions: The Portfolio’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. For valuation of assets and liabilities on each date of net asset value determination, foreign denominations are translated into U.S. dollars using the current exchange rate. Security transactions, income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the date of the event. The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on securities and foreign currencies is included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments and foreign currencies.

Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Portfolio on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Portfolio’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.

Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.

Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. A Portfolio’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL TABLES

SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS

The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.

STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities typically include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.

STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS

The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.

At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.

STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP EAFE INTERNATIONAL INDEX PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 41


 

STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS

The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.

The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown by class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio – how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.

INVESTMENT CLIMATE

The actions of global governments and central banks have driven global financial and commodity market returns and created peaks and valleys in volatility over the past five years, and that was no different over the six-month reporting period ended June 30, 2013. For the first four months of 2013, a combination of monetary and fiscal policy decisions and political events helped pushed bond yields lower. The primary influences on yields were a drag on economic growth from U.S. government spending cuts, political turmoil in Italy, a banking collapse in Cyprus, and the announcement by the Bank of Japan about more extreme monetary policy easing. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note bottomed at 1.61% at the beginning of May.1

In the last two months of the reporting period, however, interest rates rose sharply. Key developments included an unexpected sharp rise in Japanese bond yields in April as that market struggled to adjust to the new monetary policy. That rise pushed yields higher on government bonds worldwide, including U.S. Treasuries. In addition, there were positive upward revisions to U.S. payroll data released on May 2, comments by Federal Reserve (Fed) Chairman Bernanke in May and June that the Fed was prepared to taper its quantitative easing (QE) purchases, and a severe crunch in China’s bank funding market in June. By the end of June, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note had increased by nearly one percentage point from its early May low. Investor expectations for poor returns from bonds for the second quarter of the year, and concern about a further rise in yields, led to heavy redemptions from bond-based products.

Over the reporting period, the Fed’s near-zero interest rate policy continued to anchor money

The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Visit www.calvert.com/ institutional-VP-performance.html for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for the Portfolio is 0.49%. This number may vary from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period and, if applicable, does not include fee or expense waivers. The performance data and expense ratio reflect deduction of Portfolio operating expenses, but do not reflect charges and expenses imposed under the variable annuity or life insurance contract.

market rates near 0%. The three-month Treasury bill yield, for example, was nearly unchanged at 0.04%. Longer-maturity yields increased. Over the course of the six-month period, the 10-year Treasury yield rose 74 basis points (a basis point is 0.01 percentage points) to 2.52%.2 Benchmark index yields for investment-grade and high-yield corporate bonds increased 67 and 51 basis points, respectively. A key municipal index yield and the 30-year mortgage rate each increased over one percentage point.

The sharp rise in bond market yields was ironic given that the U.S. economy continued to sputter. We expect a sub-2% annualized rate of economic growth for the reporting period. Key consumer price inflation rates trended down, a phenomenon called disinflation. The core personal consumption expenditure (PCE) inflation rate fell 0.5 percentage points to 1% as of May, which is just half of the Fed’s 2% target. The unemployment rate declined 0.2 percentage points to 7.6% in June, remaining about two percentage points above the Fed’s desired long-run average.3

OUTLOOK

We expect policymakers to continue to periodically drive markets over the balance of 2013 and for price volatility to run at a higher overall level. First and foremost for the U.S. bond market will be any change in the expected timing and amount of tapering of the Fed’s $85 billion per month QE. In addition, in September the confluence of German federal elections and the potential for another U.S. debt ceiling face-off could move markets.

U.S. monetary policy should remain very accommodative, perhaps becoming somewhat less so, and the search for yield will resume. We expect money market and savings rates to remain near zero for perhaps two more years. The backup in yields that occurred in May and June, and the underperformance of corporate and municipal debt securities compared to Treasuries, created attractive buying opportunities. Our fundamental view of U.S. corporate and municipal credit remains quite positive.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE

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

This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2013 to June 30, 2013).

Note: Expenses do not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 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. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A –- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General: Calvert VP Investment Grade Bond Index Portfolio (formerly known as Calvert VP Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index Portfolio) (the “Portfolio”), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. (the “Fund”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is comprised of twelve separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. Shares of the Portfolio are sold without sales charge to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts.

Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Portfolio uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (“the Board”) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The Board has adopted Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining the fair value of assets of the Portfolio to Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Calvert”) and has provided these Procedures to govern Calvert in its valuation duties.

Calvert has chartered an internal Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these Procedures and to assist it in carrying out the valuation responsibilities that the Board has delegated.

The Valuation Committee meets on a regular basis to review illiquid securities and other investments which may not have readily available market prices. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

The Valuation Committee utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of the Portfolio’s investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

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

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. There were no such transfers during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio’s investments by major category are as follows:

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP INVESTMENT GRADE BOND INDEX PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 16


 

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities. For corporate bonds, sovereign government bonds, and U.S. government and government agency obligations, pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices and such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For asset-backed securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and U.S. government agency mortgage-backed securities, pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers prepayment speed assumptions, attributes of the collateral, yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices and, accordingly, such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing matrices which consider similar factors that would be used by independent pricing services. These are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee.

The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.

The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the fund may employ an income-based or cost approach. An income-based valuation approach discounts anticipated future cash flows of the investment to calculate a present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. A cost based approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (current replacement cost). From the seller’s perspective, the price that would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a buyer to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.

The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis and reviews of any related market activity.

At June 30, 2013, no securities were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

* For a complete listing of investments, please refer to the Statement of Net Assets.

Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned.

Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Portfolio on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Portfolio’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.

Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.

Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. A Portfolio’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL TABLES

SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS

The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.

STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities typically include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.

STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS

The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.

At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.

STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.

STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS

The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.

The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown by class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio – how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.

INVESTMENT CLIMATE

The actions of global governments and central banks have driven global financial and commodity market returns and created peaks and valleys in volatility over the past five years, and that was no different over the six-month reporting period ended June 30, 2013. For the first four months of 2013, a combination of monetary and fiscal policy decisions and political events helped pushed bond yields lower. The primary influences on yields were a drag on economic growth from U.S. government spending cuts, political turmoil in Italy, a banking collapse in Cyprus, and the announcement by the Bank of Japan about more extreme monetary policy easing. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note bottomed at 1.61% at the beginning of May.1

In the last two months of the reporting period, however, interest rates rose sharply. Key developments included an unexpected sharp rise in Japanese bond yields in April as that market struggled to adjust to the new monetary policy. That rise pushed yields higher on government bonds worldwide, including U.S. Treasuries. In addition, there were positive upward revisions to U.S. payroll data released on May 2, comments by Federal Reserve (Fed) Chairman Bernanke in May and June that the Fed was prepared to taper its quantitative easing (QE) purchases, and a severe crunch in China’s bank funding market in June. By the end of June, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note had increased by nearly one percentage point from its early May low. Investor expectations for poor returns from bonds for the second quarter of the year, and concern about a further rise in yields, led to heavy redemptions from bond-based products.

Over the reporting period, the Fed’s near-zero interest rate policy continued to anchor

The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Visit www.calvert.com/ institutional-VP-performance.html for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for the Portfolio is 0.71%. This number may vary from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period and, if applicable, does not include fee or expense waivers. The performance data and expense ratio reflect deduction of Portfolio operating expenses, but do not reflect charges and expenses imposed under the variable annuity or life insurance contract.

money market rates near 0%. The three-month Treasury bill yield, for example, was nearly unchanged at 0.04%. Longer-maturity yields increased. Over the course of the six-month period, the 10-year Treasury yield rose 74 basis points (a basis point is 0.01 percentage points) to 2.52%.2 Benchmark index yields for investment-grade and high-yield corporate bonds increased 67 and 51 basis points, respectively. A key municipal index yield and the 30-year mortgage rate each increased over one percentage point.

The sharp rise in bond market yields was ironic given that the U.S. economy continued to sputter. We expect a sub-2% annualized rate of economic growth for the reporting period. Key consumer price inflation rates trended down, a phenomenon called disinflation. The core personal consumption expenditure (PCE) inflation rate fell 0.5 percentage points to 1% as of May, which is just half of the Fed’s 2% target. The unemployment rate declined 0.2 percentage points to 7.6% in June, remaining about two percentage points above the Fed’s desired long-run average.3

OUTLOOK

We expect policymakers to continue to periodically drive markets over the balance of 2013 and for price volatility to run at a higher overall level. First and foremost for the U.S. bond market will be any change in the expected timing and amount of tapering of the Fed’s $85 billion per month QE. In addition, in September the confluence of German federal elections and the potential for another U.S. debt ceiling face-off could move markets.

U.S. monetary policy should remain very accommodative, perhaps becoming somewhat less so, and the search for yield will resume. We expect money market and savings rates to remain near zero for perhaps two more years. The backup in yields that occurred in May and June, and the underperformance of corporate and municipal debt securities compared to Treasuries, created attractive buying opportunities. Our fundamental view of U.S. corporate and municipal credit remains quite positive.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE

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

This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2013 to June 30, 2013).

Note: Expenses do not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 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. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General: Calvert VP Inflation Protected Plus Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc., (the “Fund”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is comprised of twelve separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. Shares of the Portfolio are sold without sales charge to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts.

Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Portfolio uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (“the Board”) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The Board has adopted Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining the fair value of assets of the Portfolio to Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Calvert”) and has provided these Procedures to govern Calvert in its valuation duties.

Calvert has chartered an internal Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these Procedures and to assist it in carrying out the valuation responsibilities that the Board has delegated.

The Valuation Committee meets on a regular basis to review illiquid securities and other investments which may not have readily available market prices. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

The Valuation Committee utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of the Portfolio’s investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

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

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. There were no such transfers during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio’s investments by major category are as follows:

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP INFLATION PROTECTED PLUS PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 13


 

Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities. For corporate bonds and U.S. government and government agency obligations, pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type as well as dealer supplied prices, and such securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing matrices which consider similar factors that would be used by independent pricing services. These are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.

If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a sig-nificant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee.

The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.

The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the fund may employ an income-based or cost approach. An income-based valuation approach discounts anticipated future cash flows of the investment to calculate a present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. A cost based approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (current replacement cost). From the seller’s perspective, the price that would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a buyer to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.

The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis and reviews of any related market activity.

At June 30, 2013, no securities were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of June 30, 2013:

  VALUATION INPUTS
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES* LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 TOTAL
U.S. government obligations $42,063,447 $42,063,447
Corporate debt 44,832,411 44,832,411
Other debt obligations 65,184 65,184
TOTAL $86,961,042 $86,961,042

 

*For a complete listing of investments, please refer to the Statement of Net Assets.

Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities: The Portfolio invests in Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (“TIPS”), in which the principal amount is adjusted daily to keep pace with inflation. Interest is accrued based on the adjusted principal amount. The adjustments to principal due to inflation are reflected as increases or decreases to inflation principal income in the accompanying Statement of Operations. Such adjustments may have a significant impact on the Portfolio’s distributions.

Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned.

Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Portfolio on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Portfolio’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.

Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.

Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. A Portfolio’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL TABLES

SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS

The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.

STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities typically include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.

STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS

The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.

At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.

STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP INFLATION PROTECTED PLUS PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 20


 

STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS

The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.

The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown by class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio – how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.

PROXY VOTING

The Proxy Voting Guidelines that the Portfolio uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is provided as an Appendix to the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information. The Statement of Additional Information can be obtained free of charge by calling the Fund at 1-800-368-2745, by visiting the Calvert website at www.calvert.com or by visiting the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

INVESTMENT CLIMATE

The U.S. equity rally that commenced in late 2012 continued nearly unabated throughout the first half of 2013. It was not until after the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 Index hit all-time highs in May that volatility re-entered the picture with a brief June pullback. Market participants largely ignored a weak global macroeconomic environment and fears of fiscal drag from the U.S. sequester. Instead, they focused on continued accommodative monetary policy from the Federal Reserve (Fed) and incrementally stronger U.S. macroeconomic data.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, the S&P 500 Index and Russell 1000 Index returned 13.82% and 13.91%, respectively, while the MSCI EAFE Index went up 4.47% and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index went down 9.40%. Small-cap stocks outperformed large-cap stocks with the Russell 2000 Index returning 15.86%, and value stocks outperformed growth stocks with the Russell 1000 Value Index returning 15.90% compared with the Russell 1000 Growth Index’s return of 11.80%.

Within the Russell 1000 Index, Financials, Health Care, and Consumer Discretionary were the top-performing sectors. The defensive sectors, especially Utilities and Telecommunications, were weak through the first half of 2013, which was dominated by higher-beta stocks in early-cycle industries—especially in the first quarter. The Energy and Materials sectors showed brief strength early in the year, but sold off on fears of a global growth slowdown and Middle East tensions, finishing among the worst performers for the period.

The performance data shown represents past performance, does not guarantee future results and assumes reinvestment of all dividends and distributions. All performance data reflects fee waivers and/or expense limitations, if any are in effect; in their absence performance would be lower. See Note B in Notes to Financial Statements. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Visit www.calvert.com/ institutional-VP-performance.html for current performance data. The gross expense ratio from the current prospectus for the Portfolio is 1.39%. This number may vary from the expense ratio shown elsewhere in this report because it is based on a different time period and, if applicable, does not include fee or expense waivers. The performance data and expense ratio reflect deduction of Portfolio operating expenses, but do not reflect charges and expenses imposed under the variable annuity or life insurance contract.

Corporate earnings showed continued revenue weakness with aggregate top-line growth for the S&P 500 Index falling 1.30% in the first quarter. However, earnings news was largely overshadowed by the improving U.S. macroeconomic environment. The U.S. consumer remains upbeat, with sales of both homes and autos continuing to increase. In housing, sales of previously owned homes hit a three-year high in May and buyers do not yet seem concerned by the prospect of rising interest rates.

Jobless claims continued to inch down and the seasonally adjusted labor force participation rate began to reverse its downward trend in April, signaling that the unemployed are returning to the ranks of active job seekers. Nonfarm payrolls spiked in February, but maintained a fairly consistent level of just under 200,000 new jobs added monthly. Inflation remained tame, allowing the Fed to maintain its accommodative monetary policy stance.

However, minutes of Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings released during the first half of the year indicate growing tensions between members who feel quantitative easing (QE) should be tapered sooner than later and those who prefer to wait for further gains in labor and price stability before slowing the purchases of Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities. In mid-June, confusion surrounding the eventual tapering of QE purchases culminated in a brief market pullback, although profit-taking likely had much to do with it as well.

Eurozone economic woes continued unabated. Governments across the peripheral economies faced a backlash from a populace tired of economic austerity. Growth remained sluggish throughout the eurozone and Moody’s cut the United Kingdom’s AAA credit rating to Aa1. An interest rate cut by the European Central Bank in May provided a brief rally in the eurozone, but the region remains mired in a host of economic woes, including unemployment, which hit a staggering near 50% among youth in countries such as Spain.

In Asia, the Bank of Japan unleashed unprecedented QE measures that triggered a massive rally in Japanese equities with an attendant large decline in the yen versus the dollar. It remains to be seen whether these measures will be able to overcome Japan’s demographic challenges and return the nation to its former competitiveness. However, it is encouraging to see a policy shift after decades of ignoring monetary measures in favor of largely futile fiscal stimulus.

Elsewhere in Asia, China faced continued fears of a slowing economy that culminated in a strong sell-off of nearly 14% on the Shanghai Composite in June alone. Although the officially reported Chinese gross domestic product (GDP) figures remain in the high 7% range, other statistics such as PMI manufacturing, industrial production, and trade all point to an economy in a slowing growth phase. In addition, the Chinese government announced a policy shift in early summer that would favor a smaller role for the government in the economy going forward.

OUTLOOK

While problems abound, the United States remains a bright spot in an otherwise shaky global economic picture. Given the year-to-date strength of U.S. equities, pullbacks in the second half of 2013 should be expected and welcomed as a sign of healthy markets. We believe the fiscal drag from the sequester should peak in the third quarter. Furthermore, companies will be eager to reduce earnings estimates for an easy beat on second-quarter earnings. The ever-present fears of a slowing QE will remain through year end.

Withdrawal of QE, however painful it may be for certain asset classes, won’t prevent the economy from growing. We expect the Fed to continue to manage interest rate volatility through careful telegraphing of its actions and to eventually withdraw QE before hitting its target unemployment rate. The pace may be slow, but continued improvements in the labor market and housing remain powerful drivers of growth in both the near and long terms.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE

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

This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2013 to June 30, 2013).

Note: Expenses do not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 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. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A –- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General: Calvert VP Natural Resources Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. (the “Fund”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is comprised of twelve separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. Shares of the Portfolio are sold without sales charge to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts. The Portfolio invests primarily in exchange traded funds and exchange traded notes (the “Underlying Funds”) representing different natural resources exposure.

Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Portfolio uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (“the Board”) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The Board has adopted Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining the fair value of assets of the Portfolio to Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Calvert”) and has provided these Procedures to govern Calvert in its valuation duties.

Calvert has chartered an internal Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these Procedures and to assist it in carrying out the valuation responsibilities that the Board has delegated.

The Valuation Committee meets on a regular basis to review illiquid securities and other investments which may not have readily available market prices. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

The Valuation Committee utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of the Portfolio’s investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

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

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP NATURAL RESOURCES PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 11


 

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. There were no such transfers during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio’s investments by major category are as follows:

Exchange traded funds and notes are valued at the official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a sig-nificant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee.

The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.

The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the fund may employ an income-based or cost approach. An income-based valuation approach discounts anticipated future cash flows of the investment to calculate a present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. A cost based approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (current replacement cost). From the seller’s perspective, the price that would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a buyer to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.

The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis and reviews of any related market activity.

At June 30, 2013, no securities were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP NATURAL RESOURCES PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 12


 

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of June 30, 2013:

  VALUATION INPUTS
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES* LEVEL 1 LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 TOTAL
Exchange traded products $60,082,570 $60,082,570
Other debt obligations $1,215,203 1,215,203
TOTAL $60,082,570 $1,215,203 $61,297,773

* For a complete listing of investments, please refer to the Statement of Net Assets.

Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions, normally related to shares of the Underlying Funds, are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds, if any, are recorded on ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of the Portfolio and do not include any expenses associated with the Underlying Funds.

Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Portfolio on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Portfolio’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.

Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.

Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. A Portfolio’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL TABLES

SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS

The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.

STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities typically include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.

STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS

The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.

At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.

STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP NATURAL RESOURCES PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 17


 

STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS

The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.

The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown by class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio – how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.

CALVERT VP VOLATILITY MANAGED MODERATE PORTFOLIO

Portfolio within Calvert Variable Products, Inc.

Managed by Calvert Investment Management, Inc.

INVESTMENT CLIMATE

The actions of global governments and central banks continued to drive global financial and commodity market returns, creating peaks and valleys in volatility over the period, especially in the bond market. The U.S. equity rally that commenced in late 2012 continued nearly unabated throughout the first half of 2013. It was not until after the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 Index hit all-time highs in May that volatility re-entered the picture with a brief June pullback. Market participants largely ignored a weak global macroeconomic environment and fears of fiscal drag from the U.S. sequester. Instead, they focused on continued accommodative monetary policy from the Federal Reserve (Fed) and incrementally stronger U.S. macroeconomic data.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, the S&P 500 Index and Russell 1000 Index returned 13.82% and 13.91%, respectively, while the MSCI EAFE Index went up 4.47% and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index went down 9.40%. Small-cap stocks outperformed large-cap stocks with the Russell 2000 Index returning 15.86%, and value stocks outperformed growth stocks with the Russell 1000 Value Index returning 15.90% compared with the Russell 1000 Growth Index’s return of 11.80%.

Within the Russell 1000 Index, Financials, Health Care, and Consumer Discretionary were the top-performing sectors. The defensive sectors, especially Utilities and Telecommunications, were weak through the first half of 2013, which was dominated by higher-beta stocks in early cycle industries—especially in the first quarter. The Energy and Materials sectors showed brief strength early in the year but then sold off on fears of a global growth slowdown and Middle East tensions, finishing among the worst performers for the period.

For the first four months of 2013, a combination of monetary and fiscal policy decisions and political events helped pushed bond yields lower. A drag on economic growth from U.S. government spending cuts, political turmoil in Italy, a banking collapse in Cyprus, and the announcement of more extreme quantitative easing (QE) measures by the Bank of Japan weighed on 10-year Treasury note yields, which bottomed at 1.61% at the beginning of May.1

An unexpected sharp rise in Japanese bond yields, positive upward revisions to the May 2 U.S. payroll data, comments by Fed Chairman Bernanke about tapering the central bank’s QE purchases, and a severe crunch in China’s bank funding market all contributed to a sharp rise in longer-term interest rates in May and June. For example, 10-year Treasury note yields increased nearly one percentage point between their early May low and the end of June.

Overall, the Fed’s interest-rate policy continued to anchor money-market rates near zero throughout the period and kept three-month Treasury bill yields nearly unchanged at 0.04%. In the meantime, the 10-year Treasury yield rose 0.74 percentage points to end the reporting period at 2.52%.2 Benchmark index yields for investment-grade and high-yield corporate bonds increased by two-thirds and half of a percentage point, respectively.

U.S. Economy Continues to Improve--Although Uncertainty About QE Tapering Looms

Corporate earnings showed continued revenue weakness with aggregate top-line growth for the S&P 500 Index falling 1.30% in the first quarter. However, the earnings news was largely overshadowed by the improving U.S. macroeconomic environment. The U.S. consumer remains upbeat, with sales of both homes and autos continuing to increase. In housing, sales of previously owned homes hit a three-year high in May and buyers do not yet seem concerned by the prospect of rising interest rates.

Jobless claims continued to inch down and the seasonally adjusted labor force participation rate began to reverse its downward trend in April, signaling that the unemployed are returning to the ranks of active job seekers. Nonfarm payrolls spiked in February, but maintained a fairly consistent level of just under 200,000 new jobs added monthly. Inflation remained tame, allowing the Fed to maintain its accommodative monetary policy stance.

Key consumer price inflation rates trended down, a phenomenon called disinflation.The core personal consumption expenditure (PCE) rate fell half a percentage point to 1% as of May, which is just half of the Fed’s 2% target. Tame inflation allowed the Fed to maintain its accommodative monetary policy stance.

However, minutes of FOMC meetings released during the first half of the year indicated growing tensions between members who feel QE should be tapered sooner than later and those who prefer to wait for further gains in labor and price stability before slowing the purchases of Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities. In mid-June, confusion surrounding the eventual tapering of QE purchases culminated in a brief equity market pullback, although profit-taking likely had much to do with it as well.

Troubles Continue in the Eurozone While Japan and China Announce Fiscal Policy Shifts

The eurozone’s economic woes continued unabated. Governments across the peripheral eurozone economies faced a backlash from a populace tired of economic austerity. Growth remained sluggish throughout the eurozone and Moody’s cut the United Kingdom’s AAA credit rating to Aa1. An interest-rate cut by the European Central Bank in May sparked a brief rally in the eurozone, but the region remains mired in a host of economic woes, including elevated unemployment, which hit a staggering near 50% among youth in countries such as Spain.

In Asia, the Bank of Japan unleashed unprecedented QE measures that triggered a massive rally in Japanese equities with an attendant large decline in the yen versus the dollar. Japanese bond yields unexpectedly rose sharply in April, pushing yields on government bonds, including U.S. Treasuries, higher worldwide. It remains to be seen whether these measures will be able to overcome Japan’s demographic challenges and return the nation to its former competitiveness. However, it is encouraging to see a policy shift after decades of ignoring monetary measures in favor of largely futile fiscal stimulus.

Elsewhere in Asia, China faced continued fears of a slowing economy that culminated in a strong sell-off of nearly 14% on the Shanghai Composite in June alone. Although the officially reported Chinese gross domestic product (GDP) figures remain in the high 7% range, other statistics such as PMI manufacturing, industrial production, and trade all point to an economy in a slowing growth phase. In addition, the Chinese government announced a policy shift in early summer that would favor a smaller role for the government in the economy going forward.

OUTLOOK

While problems abound, the United States remains a bright spot in an otherwise shaky global economic picture. Given the year-to-date strength of U.S. equities, pullbacks in the second half of 2013 should be expected and welcomed as a sign of healthy markets. We believe the fiscal drag from the sequester should peak in the third quarter. Furthermore, companies will be eager to reduce earnings estimates for an easy beat on second-quarter earnings. The ever-present fears of a slowing QE will remain through year end, although that won’t prevent the economy from growing. The pace may be slow, but continued improvements in the labor market and housing remain powerful drivers of growth in both the near and long terms.

We expect policymakers to continue periodically driving bond markets over the balance of 2013 and for price volatility to run at a higher overall level. First and foremost is any change in the expected timing and amount of tapering of the Fed’s $85 billion per month QE, which we expect to commence between September and December--probably later rather than sooner. In addition, the confluence of German federal elections and the potential for another U.S. debt ceiling face-off could move markets in September.

As U.S. monetary policy becomes somewhat less accommodative, the search for yield will resume. We expect money market and savings rates to remain near zero for two more years. The backup in yields during May and June, and the underperformance of corporate and municipal debt securities relative to Treasuries, created attractive buying opportunities. Our fundamental view of U.S. corporate and municipal bonds remains quite positive.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE

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

This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2013 to June 30, 2013).

Note: Expenses do not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 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. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A –- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General: Calvert VP Volatility Managed Moderate Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. (the “Fund”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is comprised of twelve separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. The Portfolio began operations on April 30, 2013 and offers Class F shares, which are subject to Distribution Plan Expenses. Shares of the Portfolio are sold without sales charge to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts. The Portfolio invests primarily in exchange traded funds representing a broad range of asset classes (the “Underlying Funds”) and derivatives to manage overall portfolio volatility.

Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Portfolio uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (“the Board”) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The Board has adopted Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining the fair value of assets of the Portfolio to Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Calvert”) and has provided these Procedures to govern Calvert in its valuation duties.

Calvert has chartered an internal Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these Procedures and to assist it in carrying out the valuation responsibilities that the Board has delegated.

The Valuation Committee meets on a regular basis to review illiquid securities and other investments which may not have readily available market prices. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

The Valuation Committee utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of the Portfolio’s investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

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

www.calvert.com Calvert VP Volatility Managed Moderate Portfolio Semi-Annual Report (Unaudited) 13

 

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. There were no such transfers during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio’s investments by major category are as follows:

Exchange traded products are valued at the official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee.

The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.

The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the fund may employ an income-based or cost approach. An income-based valuation approach discounts anticipated future cash flows of the investment to calculate a present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. A cost based approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (current replacement cost). From the seller’s perspective, the price that would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a buyer to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.

The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis and reviews of any related market activity.

At June 30, 2013, no securities were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of June 30, 2013:

  VALUATION INPUTS
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES* LEVEL 1   LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 TOTAL  
Exchange traded products $2,966,323   $2,966,323  
Other debt obligations   $114,268 114,268  
TOTAL $2,966,323   $114,268 $3,080,591  
 
Other financial instruments** ($4,346 ) ($4,346 )

 

* For a complete listing of investments, please refer to the Statement of Net Assets.

**Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Statement of Net Assets, such as futures, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the instrument.

Futures Contracts: The Portfolio may purchase and sell futures contracts to manage overall portfolio volatility. These futures contracts may include, but are not limited to, market index futures contracts and futures contracts based on U.S. government obligations. The Portfolio may enter into futures contracts agreeing to buy or sell a financial instrument for a set price at a future date. Initial margin deposits of either cash or securities as required by the broker are made upon entering into the contract. While the contract is open, daily variation margin payments are made to or received from the broker reflecting the daily change in market value of the contract and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Portfolio. When a futures contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract. The risks associated with entering into futures contracts may include the possible illiquidity of the secondary market which would limit the Portfolio’s ability to close out a futures contract prior to the settlement date, an imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying financial instruments, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations under the contracts’ terms. Futures contracts are designed by boards of trade which are designated “contracts markets” by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. Futures contracts trade on the contracts markets in a manner that is similar to the way a stock trades on a stock exchange and the boards of trade, through their clearing corporations, guarantee the futures contracts against default. As a result, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Portfolio. During the period, futures contracts were used to adjust the Portfolio’s overall equity exposure in an effort to stabilize portfolio volatility around a target level. The Portfolio’s futures contracts at period end are presented in the Statement of Net Assets.

During the period from the inception of the Portfolio through June 30, 2013, the Portfolio invested in E-Mini S&P 500 Index futures. The volume of activity has varied throughout the period with a weighted average of 7 contracts and $555,409 weighted average notional value.

Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions, normally related to shares of the Underlying Funds, are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of the Portfolio and do not include any expenses associated with the Underlying Funds.

www.calvert.com Calvert VP Volatility Managed Moderate Portfolio Semi-Annual Report (Unaudited) 15

 

Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Portfolio on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Portfolio’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.

Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.

Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. A Portfolio’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL TABLES

SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS

The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.

STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities typically include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.

STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS

The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.

At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.

STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.

www.calvert.com Calvert VP Volatility Managed Moderate Portfolio Semi-Annual Report (Unaudited) 19

 

STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS

The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.

The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown by class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio – how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND INVESTMENT SUBADVISORY CONTRACTS

At a meeting held on March 6, 2013, the Board of Directors, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Directors, of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. (the “Fund”) voted to approve an amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement (“Advisory Agreement”) between the Fund and Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) that would add the Portfolio to the Advisory Agreement; an amendment to the Investment Subadvisory Agreement (the “Ameritas Subadvisory Agreement”) between the Advisor and Ameritas Investment Partners, Inc. (“Ameritas”) (formerly Summit Investment Advisors, Inc.) that would add the Portfolio to the Ameritas Subadvisory Agreement; and initially approve the Investment Subadvisory Agreement (the “Milliman Subadvisory Agreement”) between the Advisor and Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC (“Milliman”) with respect to the Portfolio. Ameritas and Milliman are each referred to individually as a Subadvisor and, together, as the Subadvisors. The Ameritas Subadvi-sory Agreement and the Milliman Subadvisory Agreement are each referred to individually as a Subadvisory Agreement and, together, as the Subadvisory Agreements.

In evaluating the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreements, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Portfolio, the Advisor and each Subadvisor. The disinterested Directors reviewed certain information and materials prepared by the Advisor and the Subadvisors regarding various services to be provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor and its affiliates and the Subadvisors.

The disinterested Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the approval of the amendment to the Advisory Agreement, the amendment to the Ameritas Subadvisory Agreement and the Milliman Subadvisory Agreement. Prior to voting, the disinterested Directors reviewed the proposed amendment to the Advisory Agreement, the amendment to the Ameritas Subadvisory Agreement and the Milliman Subadvisory Agreement with management and also met in a private session with their counsel at which no representatives of management were present.

In the course of its deliberations regarding the Advisory Agreement, the Board of Directors considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Advisor, including the personnel that would be providing such services; the Advisor’s financial condition; the level and method of computing the Portfolio’s proposed advisory fee; comparative fee and expense information for the Portfolio; the profitability of the Calvert Family of Funds to the Advisor; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, to be derived by the Advisor from its relationship with the Portfolio; the effect of the Portfolio’s potential growth and size on the Portfolio’s performance and expenses; the Advisor’s compliance programs and policies; the Advisor’s performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.

In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor under the Advisory Agreement, the Board of Directors reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other data, biographical information on the Advisor’s supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board of Directors also took into

www.calvert.com Calvert VP Volatility Managed Moderate Portfolio Semi-Annual Report (Unaudited) 21

 

account similar information provided throughout the previous year by the Advisor as well as the Board of Directors’ familiarity with the Advisor’s senior management through Board of Directors’ meetings, discussions, and other reports. The Board of Directors discussed the Advisor’s effectiveness in monitoring the performance of subadvisors to other funds within the Calvert Family of Funds and the Advisor’s timeliness in responding to performance issues with respect to those funds. The Advisor’s administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Portfolio, were also considered. The Board of Directors concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor under the Advisory Agreement.

In considering performance, the Board took into account Ameritas’s performance with similarly-managed accounts and Milliman’s experience managing volatility for mutual funds, noting the Subadvisors’ performance records with respect to the investment strategies that they would utilize in managing the Portfolio. With respect to Ameritas, the Board took into account that the Subadvisor will be responsible for selecting the exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) in which the Portfolio will invest, managing daily cash flow, and rebalancing the Portfolio’s investments in underlying ETFs. The Board noted that from December 2006 through April 2011, Ameritas was the subadvisor to three of the Fund’s ETF-based asset allocation portfolios. The Board also noted that Ameritas will use substantially the same process in managing the Portfolio as it used in managing those ETF-based asset allocation portfolios. The Board noted that the allocation portfolios that utilized conservative and aggressive strategies outperformed the custom benchmark, gross of fees, for the period from December 31, 2006 to April 2011. The Board also noted that the portfolio that utilized a moderate strategy underperformed the custom benchmark, gross of fees, for the same period.

With respect to Milliman, the Board took into account that the Subadvisor will be responsible for providing the volatility overlay and capital protection strategy to the Portfolio. The Board noted that while Milliman has been subadvising mutual funds that employ volatility management strategies since 2011, Milliman has backtested the rules and models that define its volatility management process since January 3, 2000. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s strategies, when Milliman’s volatility management approach was applied, outperformed the Portfolio’s strategies that had not been adjusted for volatility management for the period from January 3, 2000 to June 1, 2012. The Board also noted that Ameritas, an affiliate of the Advisor, has employed Milliman’s hedging strategies since 2007.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the Advisor has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisors are qualified to manage the Portfolio’s assets in accordance with the Portfolio’s investment objective and policies.

In considering the Portfolio’s fees and expenses, the Board of Directors compared the Portfolio’s proposed fees and estimated total expense ratio with those of comparable funds. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s proposed management fee and estimated total expenses, after estimated reimbursements, were generally within the range of the management fees and total expenses paid by certain comparable funds as selected by the Advisor in the materials it provided to the Board. The Board of Directors took into account that the Advisor had contractually agreed to impose expense limitations on all share classes of the Portfolio through April 30, 2014. The Board also considered the impact of the size of the Portfolio on the Portfolio’s expenses. Based upon its review, the Board of Directors determined that the proposed advisory fee was reasonable in view of the services to be provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor and the other factors considered.

In reviewing the anticipated profitability of the advisory fee to the Portfolio’s Advisor, the Board of Directors considered the fact that affiliates would be providing shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Portfolio

www.calvert.com Calvert VP Volatility Managed Moderate Portfolio Semi-Annual Report (Unaudited) 22

 

for which they would receive compensation. The Board of Directors also considered whether the Advisor had the financial wherewithal to provide a high level of services to the Portfolio. The Board of Directors noted that the Advisor had agreed to reimburse expenses of the Portfolio above a certain asset level. The Board of Directors also considered that the Advisor would likely derive benefits to its reputation and other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Portfolio. The Board also noted that the Advisor would pay the subadvisory fee to each Subad-visor. Based upon its review, the Board of Directors concluded that the Advisor’s anticipated level of profitability from its relationship with the Portfolio was reasonable.

The Board of Directors considered the effect of the Portfolio’s potential size and growth on its performance and expenses. The Board of Directors noted that if the Portfolio’s assets increased over time, the Portfolio might realize economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses. The Board of Directors concluded that adding breakpoints to the advisory fee at specified asset levels would not be appropriate at this time. In approving the amendment to the Advisory Agreement, the Board of Directors, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director attributed different weight to various factors.

In evaluating the Subadvisory Agreements, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor and each Sub-advisor relating to the Subadvisors’ operations, personnel, investment philosophy, strategies and techniques. Among other information, the Advisor and each Subadvisor provided biographical information on portfolio management and other professional staff, performance information for the Subadvisor, and descriptions of the Subadvisor’s investment philosophies, strategies and techniques, organizational and management structures, and brokerage policies and practices.

The Board approved the amendment to the Ameritas Subadvisory Agreement and the Milliman Subadvisory Agreement between the Advisor and the Subadvisors based on a number of factors relating to each Subadvisor’s ability to perform under the respective Subadvisory Agreement. In the course of its deliberations, the Board evaluated, among other factors: the nature, extent and the quality of the services to be provided by each Subadvisor; each Subadvisor’s management style and long-term performance record in employing its investment strategies; each Subadvisor’s current level of staffing and its overall resources; the qualifications and experience of each Subadvisor’s personnel; each Subadvisor’s financial condition with respect to its ability to perform the services required under the respective Subadvisory Agreement; each Subadvisor’s compliance systems, including those related to personal investing; and any disciplinary history. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided to the Portfolio by each Subadvisor under the respective Subadvisory Agreement.

As noted above, the Board considered, among other information, the performance of comparable accounts managed by the Subadvisors using investment strategies that were substantially similar to the ones the Subadvisors proposed to use in managing the Portfolio. The Board noted the Advisor’s expertise and resources in monitoring performance, investment style, and risk-adjusted performance of other subadvisors.

In considering the cost of services to be provided by each Subadvisor and the estimated profitability to each Sub-advisor of its relationship with the Portfolio, the Board noted that the subadvisory fees under each Subadvisory Agreement would be paid by the Advisor out of the advisory fees that the Advisor would receive under the Advisory Agreement. In the case of Milliman, the Board also relied on the ability of the Advisor to negotiate the Subadvisory Agreement and the corresponding subadvisory fee at arm’s length. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the proposed subadvisory fees were reasonable. Because the Advisor would pay each Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee

www.calvert.com Calvert VP Volatility Managed Moderate Portfolio Semi-Annual Report (Unaudited) 23

 

and, in the case of Milliman, had negotiated that subadvisory fee at arm’s length, the costs of services to be provided by the Subadvisors and the estimated profitability to the Subadvisors of their relationships with the Portfolio were not material factors in the Board’s deliberations. For similar reasons, the Board did not consider the potential economies of scale in each Subadvisor’s management of the Portfolio to be a material factor in its consideration. In approving the amendment to the Ameritas Subadvisory Agreement and the Milliman Subadvisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director attributed different weight to various factors.

CONCLUSIONS

The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Advisory Agreement and each Subadvisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Advisor has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Advisory Agreement; (b) each Subadvisor is qualified to manage the Portfolio’s assets in accordance with the Portfolio’s investment objective and policies; (c) the Advisor and each Subadvisor maintain appropriate compliance programs; (d) each Subadvisor’s investment strategies are appropriate for pursuing the investment objective of the Portfolio; and (e) the Portfolio’s proposed advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable in relation to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Advisor and each Subadvisor. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that the approval of amendments to the Advisory Agreement and Ameritas Subadvi-sory Agreement, and the approval of Milliman Subadvisory Agreement would be in the interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders.

Managed by Calvert Investment Management, Inc.

INVESTMENT CLIMATE

The actions of global governments and central banks continued to drive global financial and commodity market returns, creating peaks and valleys in volatility over the period, especially in the bond market. The U.S. equity rally that commenced in late 2012 continued nearly unabated throughout the first half of 2013. It was not until after the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 Index hit all-time highs in May that volatility re-entered the picture with a brief June pullback. Market participants largely ignored a weak global macroeconomic environment and fears of fiscal drag from the U.S. sequester. Instead, they focused on continued accommodative monetary policy from the Federal Reserve (Fed) and incrementally stronger U.S. macroeconomic data.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, the S&P 500 Index and Russell 1000 Index returned 13.82% and 13.91%, respectively, while the MSCI EAFE Index went up 4.47% and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index went down 9.40%. Small-cap stocks outperformed large-cap stocks with the Russell 2000 Index returning 15.86%, and value stocks outperformed growth stocks with the Russell 1000 Value Index returning 15.90% compared with the Russell 1000 Growth Index’s return of 11.80%.

Within the Russell 1000 Index, Financials, Health Care, and Consumer Discretionary were the top-performing sectors. The defensive sectors, especially Utilities and Telecommunications, were weak through the first half of 2013, which was dominated by higher-beta stocks in early cycle industries—especially in the first quarter. The Energy and Materials sectors showed brief strength early in the year but then sold off on fears of a global growth slowdown and Middle East tensions, finishing among the worst performers for the period.

For the first four months of 2013, a combination of monetary and fiscal policy decisions and political events helped pushed bond yields lower. A drag on economic growth from U.S. government spending

cuts, political turmoil in Italy, a banking collapse in Cyprus, and the announcement of more extreme quantitative easing (QE) measures by the Bank of Japan weighed on 10-year Treasury note yields, which bottomed at 1.61% at the beginning of May.1

An unexpected sharp rise in Japanese bond yields, positive upward revisions to the May 2 U.S. payroll data, comments by Fed Chairman Bernanke about tapering the central bank’s QE purchases, and a severe crunch in China’s bank funding market all contributed to a sharp rise in longer-term interest rates in May and June. For example, 10-year Treasury note yields increased nearly one percentage point between their early May low and the end of June.

Overall, the Fed’s interest-rate policy continued to anchor money-market rates near zero throughout the period and kept three-month Treasury bill yields nearly unchanged at 0.04%. In the meantime, the 10-year Treasury yield rose 0.74 percentage points to end the reporting period at 2.52%.2 Benchmark index yields for investment-grade and high-yield corporate bonds increased by two-thirds and half of a percentage point, respectively.

U.S. Economy Continues to Improve--Although Uncertainty About QE Tapering Looms

Corporate earnings showed continued revenue weakness with aggregate top-line growth for the S&P 500 Index falling 1.30% in the first quarter. However, the earnings news was largely overshadowed by the improving U.S. macroeconomic environment. The U.S. consumer remains upbeat, with sales of both homes and autos continuing to increase. In housing, sales of previously owned homes hit a three-year high in May and buyers do not yet seem concerned by the prospect of rising interest rates.

Jobless claims continued to inch down and the seasonally adjusted labor force participation rate began to reverse its downward trend in April, signaling that the unemployed are returning to the ranks of active job seekers. Nonfarm payrolls spiked in February, but maintained a fairly consistent level of just under 200,000 new jobs added monthly. Inflation remained tame, allowing the Fed to maintain its accommodative monetary policy stance.

Key consumer price inflation rates trended down, a phenomenon called disinflation.The core personal consumption expenditure (PCE) rate fell half a percentage point to 1% as of May, which is just half of the Fed’s 2% target. Tame inflation allowed the Fed to maintain its accommodative monetary policy stance.

Tame inflation allowed the Fed to maintain its accommodative monetary policy stance.

However, minutes of FOMC meetings released during the first half of the year indicated growing tensions between members who feel QE should be tapered sooner than later and those who prefer to wait for further gains in labor and price stability before slowing the purchases of Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities. In mid-June, confusion surrounding the eventual tapering of QE purchases culminated in a brief equity market pullback, although profit-taking likely had much to do with it as well.

Troubles Continue in the Eurozone While Japan and China Announce Fiscal Policy Shifts

The eurozone’s economic woes continued unabated. Governments across the peripheral eurozone economies faced a backlash from a populace tired of economic austerity. Growth remained sluggish throughout the eurozone and Moody’s cut the United Kingdom’s AAA credit rating to Aa1. An interest-rate cut by the European Central Bank in May sparked a brief rally in the eurozone, but the region remains mired in a host of economic woes, including elevated unemployment, which hit a staggering near 50% among youth in countries such as Spain.

In Asia, the Bank of Japan unleashed unprecedented QE measures that triggered a massive rally in Japanese equities with an attendant large decline in the yen versus the dollar. Japanese bond yields unexpectedly rose sharply in April, pushing yields on government bonds, including U.S. Treasuries, higher worldwide. It remains to be seen whether these measures will be able to overcome Japan’s demographic challenges and return the nation to its former competitiveness. However, it is encouraging to see a policy shift after decades of ignoring monetary measures in favor of largely futile fiscal stimulus.

Elsewhere in Asia, China faced continued fears of a slowing economy that culminated in a strong sell-off of nearly 14% on the Shanghai Composite in June alone. Although the officially reported Chinese gross domestic product (GDP) figures remain in the high 7% range, other statistics such as PMI manufacturing, industrial production, and trade all point to an economy in a slowing growth phase. In addition, the Chinese government announced a policy shift in early summer that would favor a smaller role for the government in the economy going forward.

OUTLOOK

While problems abound, the United States remains a bright spot in an otherwise shaky global economic picture. Given the year-to-date strength of U.S. equities, pullbacks in the second half of 2013 should be expected and welcomed as a sign of healthy markets. We believe the fiscal drag from the sequester should peak in the third quarter. Furthermore, companies will be eager to reduce earnings estimates for an easy beat on second-quarter earnings. The ever-present fears of a slowing QE will remain through year end, although that won’t prevent the economy from growing. The pace may be slow, but continued improvements in the labor market and housing remain powerful drivers of growth in both the near and long terms.

We expect policymakers to continue periodically driving bond markets over the balance of 2013 and for price volatility to run at a higher overall level. First and foremost is any change in the expected timing and amount of tapering of the Fed’s $85 billion per month QE, which we expect to commence between September and December--probably later rather than sooner. In addition, the confluence of German federal elections and the potential for another U.S. debt ceiling face-off could move markets in September.

As U.S. monetary policy becomes somewhat less accommodative, the search for yield will resume. We expect money market and savings rates to remain near zero for two more years. The backup in yields during May and June, and the underperformance of corporate and municipal debt securities relative to Treasuries, created attractive buying opportunities. Our fundamental view of U.S. corporate and municipal bonds remains quite positive.

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE

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

This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2013 to June 30, 2013).

Note: Expenses do not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 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. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A –- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General: Calvert VP Volatility Managed Moderate Growth Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. (the “Fund”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is comprised of twelve separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. The Portfolio began operations on April 30, 2013 and offers Class F shares, which are subject to Distribution Plan Expenses. Shares of the Portfolio are sold without sales charge to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts. The Portfolio invests primarily in exchange traded funds representing a broad range of asset classes (the “Underlying Funds”) and derivatives to manage overall portfolio volatility.

Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Portfolio uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (“the Board”) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The Board has adopted Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining the fair value of assets of the Portfolio to Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Calvert”) and has provided these Procedures to govern Calvert in its valuation duties.

Calvert has chartered an internal Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these Procedures and to assist it in carrying out the valuation responsibilities that the Board has delegated.

The Valuation Committee meets on a regular basis to review illiquid securities and other investments which may not have readily available market prices. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

The Valuation Committee utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of the Portfolio’s investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

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

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP VOLATILITY MANAGED MODERATE GROWTH PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 13


 

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. There were no such transfers during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio’s investments by major category are as follows:

Exchange traded products are valued at the official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee.

The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.

The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the fund may employ an income-based or cost approach. An income-based valuation approach discounts anticipated future cash flows of the investment to calculate a present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. A cost based approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (current replacement cost). From the seller’s perspective, the price that would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a buyer to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.

The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis and reviews of any related market activity.

At June 30, 2013, no securities were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of June 30, 2013:

  VALUATION INPUTS
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES* LEVEL 1   LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 TOTAL  
Exchange traded products $3,668,656   $3,668,656  
Other debt obligations   $349,394 349,394  
TOTAL $3,668,656   $349,394 $4,018,050  
 
Other financial instruments** ($7,715 ) ($7,715 )

 

* For a complete listing of investments, please refer to the Statement of Net Assets.

**Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Statement of Net Assets, such as futures, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the instrument.

Futures Contracts: The Portfolio may purchase and sell futures contracts to manage overall portfolio volatility. These futures contracts may include, but are not limited to, market index futures contracts and futures contracts based on U.S. government obligations. The Portfolio may enter into futures contracts agreeing to buy or sell a financial instrument for a set price at a future date. Initial margin deposits of either cash or securities as required by the broker are made upon entering into the contract. While the contract is open, daily variation margin payments are made to or received from the broker reflecting the daily change in market value of the contract and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Portfolio. When a futures contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract. The risks associated with entering into futures contracts may include the possible illiquidity of the secondary market which would limit the Portfolio’s ability to close out a futures contract prior to the settlement date, an imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying financial instruments, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations under the contracts’ terms. Futures contracts are designed by boards of trade which are designated “contracts markets” by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. Futures contracts trade on the contracts markets in a manner that is similar to the way a stock trades on a stock exchange and the boards of trade, through their clearing corporations, guarantee the futures contracts against default. As a result, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Portfolio. During the period, futures contracts were used to adjust the Portfolio’s overall equity exposure in an effort to stabilize portfolio volatility around a target level. The Portfolio’s futures contracts at period end are presented in the Statement of Net Assets.

During the period from the inception of the Portfolio through June 30, 2013, the Portfolio invested in E-Mini S&P 500 Index futures. The volume of activity has varied throughout the period with a weighted average of 11 contracts and $871,900 weighted average notional value.

Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions, normally related to shares of the Underlying Funds, are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of the Portfolio and do not include any expenses associated with the Underlying Funds.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP VOLATILITY MANAGED MODERATE GROWTH PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 15


 

Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Portfolio on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Portfolio’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.

Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.

Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. A Portfolio’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS

The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.

STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities typically include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.

STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS

The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.

At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.

STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.

STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS

The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.

The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown by class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio – how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND INVESTMENT SUBADVISORY CONTRACTS

At a meeting held on March 6, 2013, the Board of Directors, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Directors, of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. (the “Fund”) voted to approve an amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement (“Advisory Agreement”) between the Fund and Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) that would add the Portfolio to the Advisory Agreement; an amendment to the Investment Subadvisory Agreement (the “Ameritas Subadvisory Agreement”) between the Advisor and Ameritas Investment Partners, Inc. (“Ameritas”) (formerly Summit Investment Advisors, Inc.) that would add the Portfolio to the Ameritas Subadvisory Agreement; and initially approve the Investment Subadvisory Agreement (the “Milliman Subadvisory Agreement”) between the Advisor and Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC (“Milliman”) with respect to the Portfolio. Ameritas and Milliman are each referred to individually as a Subadvisor and, together, as the Subadvisors. The Ameritas Subadvi-sory Agreement and the Milliman Subadvisory Agreement are each referred to individually as a Subadvisory Agreement and, together, as the Subadvisory Agreements.

In evaluating the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreements, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Portfolio, the Advisor and each Subadvisor. The disinterested Directors reviewed certain information and materials prepared by the Advisor and the Subadvisors regarding various services to be provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor and its affiliates and the Subadvisors.

The disinterested Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the approval of the amendment to the Advisory Agreement, the amendment to the Ameritas Subadvisory Agreement and the Milliman Subadvisory Agreement. Prior to voting, the disinterested Directors reviewed the proposed amendment to the Advisory Agreement, the amendment to the Ameritas Subadvisory Agreement and the Milliman Subadvisory Agreement with management and also met in a private session with their counsel at which no representatives of management were present.

In the course of its deliberations regarding the Advisory Agreement, the Board of Directors considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Advisor, including the personnel that would be providing such services; the Advisor’s financial condition; the level and method of computing the Portfolio’s proposed advisory fee; comparative fee and expense information for the Portfolio; the profitability of the Calvert Family of Funds to the Advisor; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, to be derived by the Advisor from its relationship with the Portfolio; the effect of the Portfolio’s potential growth and size on the Portfolio’s performance and expenses; the Advisor’s compliance programs and policies; the Advisor’s performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.

In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor under the Advisory Agreement, the Board of Directors reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other data, biographical information on the Advisor’s supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board of Directors also took into account similar information provided throughout the previous year by the Advisor as well as the Board of Directors’ familiarity with the Advisor’s senior management through Board of Directors’ meetings, discussions, and other reports. The Board of Directors discussed the Advisor’s effectiveness in monitoring the performance of subadvisors to other funds within the Calvert Family of Funds and the Advisor’s timeliness in responding to performance issues with respect to those funds. The Advisor’s administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Portfolio, were also considered. The Board of Directors concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor under the Advisory Agreement.

In considering performance, the Board took into account Ameritas’s performance with similarly-managed accounts and Milliman’s experience managing volatility for mutual funds, noting the Subadvisors’ performance records with respect to the investment strategies that they would utilize in managing the Portfolio. With respect to Ameritas, the Board took into account that the Subadvisor will be responsible for selecting the exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) in which the Portfolio will invest, managing daily cash flow, and rebalancing the Portfolio’s investments in underlying ETFs. The Board noted that from December 2006 through April 2011, Ameritas was the subadvisor to three of the Fund’s ETF-based asset allocation portfolios. The Board also noted that Ameritas will use substantially the same process in managing the Portfolio as it used in managing those ETF-based asset allocation portfolios. The Board noted that the allocation portfolios that utilized conservative and aggressive strategies outperformed the custom benchmark, gross of fees, for the period from December 31, 2006 to April 2011. The Board also noted that the portfolio that utilized a moderate strategy underperformed the custom benchmark, gross of fees, for the same period.

With respect to Milliman, the Board took into account that the Subadvisor will be responsible for providing the volatility overlay and capital protection strategy to the Portfolio. The Board noted that while Milliman has been subadvising mutual funds that employ volatility management strategies since 2011, Milliman has backtested the rules and models that define its volatility management process since January 3, 2000. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s strategies, when Milliman’s volatility management approach was applied, outperformed the Portfolio’s strategies that had not been adjusted for volatility management for the period from January 3, 2000 to June 1, 2012. The Board also noted that Ameritas, an affiliate of the Advisor, has employed Milliman’s hedging strategies since 2007.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the Advisor has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisors are qualified to manage the Portfolio’s assets in accordance with the Portfolio’s investment objective and policies.

In considering the Portfolio’s fees and expenses, the Board of Directors compared the Portfolio’s proposed fees and estimated total expense ratio with those of comparable funds. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s proposed management fee and estimated total expenses, after estimated reimbursements, were generally within the range of the management fees and total expenses paid by certain comparable funds as selected by the Advisor in the materials it provided to the Board. The Board of Directors took into account that the Advisor had contractually agreed to impose expense limitations on all share classes of the Portfolio through April 30, 2014. The Board also considered the impact of the size of the Portfolio on the Portfolio’s expenses. Based upon its review, the Board of Directors

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP VOLATILITY MANAGED MODERATE GROWTH PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 22


 

determined that the proposed advisory fee was reasonable in view of the services to be provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor and the other factors considered.

In reviewing the anticipated profitability of the advisory fee to the Portfolio’s Advisor, the Board of Directors considered the fact that affiliates would be providing shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Portfolio for which they would receive compensation. The Board of Directors also considered whether the Advisor had the financial wherewithal to provide a high level of services to the Portfolio. The Board of Directors noted that the Advisor had agreed to reimburse expenses of the Portfolio above a certain asset level. The Board of Directors also considered that the Advisor would likely derive benefits to its reputation and other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Portfolio. The Board also noted that the Advisor would pay the subadvisory fee to each Subad-visor. Based upon its review, the Board of Directors concluded that the Advisor’s anticipated level of profitability from its relationship with the Portfolio was reasonable.

The Board of Directors considered the effect of the Portfolio’s potential size and growth on its performance and expenses. The Board of Directors noted that if the Portfolio’s assets increased over time, the Portfolio might realize economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses. The Board of Directors concluded that adding breakpoints to the advisory fee at specified asset levels would not be appropriate at this time. In approving the amendment to the Advisory Agreement, the Board of Directors, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director attributed different weight to various factors.

In evaluating the Subadvisory Agreements, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor and each Sub-advisor relating to the Subadvisors’ operations, personnel, investment philosophy, strategies and techniques. Among other information, the Advisor and each Subadvisor provided biographical information on portfolio management and other professional staff, performance information for the Subadvisor, and descriptions of the Subadvisor’s investment philosophies, strategies and techniques, organizational and management structures, and brokerage policies and practices.

The Board approved the amendment to the Ameritas Subadvisory Agreement and the Milliman Subadvisory Agreement between the Advisor and the Subadvisors based on a number of factors relating to each Subadvisor’s ability to perform under the respective Subadvisory Agreement. In the course of its deliberations, the Board evaluated, among other factors: the nature, extent and the quality of the services to be provided by each Subadvisor; each Subadvisor’s management style and long-term performance record in employing its investment strategies; each Subadvisor’s current level of staffing and its overall resources; the qualifications and experience of each Subadvisor’s personnel; each Subadvisor’s financial condition with respect to its ability to perform the services required under the respective Subadvisory Agreement; each Subadvisor’s compliance systems, including those related to personal investing; and any disciplinary history. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided to the Portfolio by each Subadvisor under the respective Subadvisory Agreement.

As noted above, the Board considered, among other information, the performance of comparable accounts managed by the Subadvisors using investment strategies that were substantially similar to the ones the Subadvisors proposed to use in managing the Portfolio. The Board noted the Advisor’s expertise and resources in monitoring performance, investment style, and risk-adjusted performance of other subadvisors.

In considering the cost of services to be provided by each Subadvisor and the estimated profitability to each Sub-

advisor of its relationship with the Portfolio, the Board noted that the subadvisory fees under each Subadvisory Agreement would be paid by the Advisor out of the advisory fees that the Advisor would receive under the Advisory Agreement. In the case of Milliman, the Board also relied on the ability of the Advisor to negotiate the Subadvisory Agreement and the corresponding subadvisory fee at arm’s length. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the proposed subadvisory fees were reasonable. Because the Advisor would pay each Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee and, in the case of Milliman, had negotiated that subadvisory fee at arm’s length, the costs of services to be provided by the Subadvisors and the estimated profitability to the Subadvisors of their relationships with the Portfolio were not material factors in the Board’s deliberations. For similar reasons, the Board did not consider the potential economies of scale in each Subadvisor’s management of the Portfolio to be a material factor in its consideration.

In approving the amendment to the Ameritas Subadvisory Agreement and the Milliman Subadvisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director attributed different weight to various factors.

CONCLUSIONS

The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Advisory Agreement and each Subadvisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Advisor has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Advisory Agreement; (b) each Subadvisor is qualified to manage the Portfolio’s assets in accordance with the Portfolio’s investment objective and policies; (c) the Advisor and each Subadvisor maintain appropriate compliance programs; (d) each Subadvisor’s investment strategies are appropriate for pursuing the investment objective of the Portfolio; and (e) the Portfolio’s proposed advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable in relation to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Advisor and each Subadvisor. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that the approval of amendments to the Advisory Agreement and Ameritas Subadvi-sory Agreement, and the approval of Milliman Subadvisory Agreement would be in the interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders.

INVESTMENT CLIMATE

The actions of global governments and central banks continued to drive global financial and commodity market returns, creating peaks and valleys in volatility over the period, especially in the bond market. The U.S. equity rally that commenced in late 2012 continued nearly unabated throughout the first half of 2013. It was not until after the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 Index hit all-time highs in May that volatility re-entered the picture with a brief June pullback. Market participants largely ignored a weak global macroeconomic environment and fears of fiscal drag from the U.S. sequester. Instead, they focused on continued accommodative monetary policy from the Federal Reserve (Fed) and incrementally stronger U.S. macroeconomic data.

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, the S&P 500 Index and Russell 1000 Index returned 13.82% and 13.91%, respectively, while the MSCI EAFE Index went up 4.47% and the MSCI Emerging Markets Index went down 9.40%. Small-cap stocks outperformed large-cap stocks with the Russell 2000 Index returning 15.86%, and value stocks outperformed growth stocks with the Russell 1000 Value Index returning 15.90% compared with the Russell 1000 Growth Index’s return of 11.80%.

Within the Russell 1000 Index, Financials, Health Care, and Consumer Discretionary were the top-performing sectors. The defensive sectors, especially Utilities and Telecommunications, were weak through the first half of 2013, which was dominated by higher-beta stocks in early cycle industries—especially in the first quarter. The Energy and Materials sectors showed brief strength early in the year but then sold off on fears of a global growth slowdown and Middle East tensions, finishing among the worst performers for the period.

For the first four months of 2013, a combination of monetary and fiscal policy decisions and political events helped pushed bond yields lower. A drag on economic growth from U.S. government spending cuts, political turmoil in Italy, a banking collapse in Cyprus, and the announcement of more extreme quantitative easing (QE) measures by the Bank of Japan weighed on 10-year Treasury note yields, which bottomed at 1.61% at the beginning of May.1

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP VOLATILITY MANAGED GROWTH PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 4


 

An unexpected sharp rise in Japanese bond yields, positive upward revisions to the May 2 U.S. payroll data, comments by Fed Chairman Bernanke about tapering the central bank’s QE purchases, and a severe crunch in China’s bank funding market all contributed to a sharp rise in longer-term interest rates in May and June. For example, 10-year Treasury note yields increased nearly one percentage point between their early May low and the end of June.

Overall, the Fed’s interest-rate policy continued to anchor money-market rates near zero throughout the period and kept three-month Treasury bill yields nearly unchanged at 0.04%. In the meantime, the 10-year Treasury yield rose 0.74 percentage points to end the reporting period at 2.52%.2 Benchmark index yields for investment-grade and high-yield corporate bonds increased by two-thirds and half of a percentage point, respectively.

U.S. Economy Continues to Improve--Although Uncertainty About QE Tapering Looms

Corporate earnings showed continued revenue weakness with aggregate top-line growth for the S&P 500 Index falling 1.30% in the first quarter. However, the earnings news was largely overshadowed by the improving U.S. macroeconomic environment. The U.S. consumer remains upbeat, with sales of both homes and autos continuing to increase. In housing, sales of previously owned homes hit a three-year high in May and buyers do not yet seem concerned by the prospect of rising interest rates.

Jobless claims continued to inch down and the seasonally adjusted labor force participation rate began to reverse its downward trend in April, signaling that the unemployed are returning to the ranks of active job seekers. Nonfarm payrolls spiked in February, but maintained a fairly consistent level of just under 200,000 new jobs added monthly. Inflation remained tame, allowing the Fed to maintain its accommodative monetary policy stance.

Key consumer price inflation rates trended down, a phenomenon called disinflation.The core personal consumption expenditure (PCE) rate fell half a percentage point to 1% as of May, which is just half of the Fed’s 2% target. Tame inflation allowed the Fed to maintain its accommodative monetary policy stance.

However, minutes of FOMC meetings released during the first half of the year indicated growing tensions between members who feel QE should be tapered sooner than later and those who prefer to wait for further gains in labor and price stability before slowing the purchases of Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities. In mid-June, confusion surrounding the eventual tapering of QE purchases culminated in a brief equity market pullback, although profit-taking likely had much to do with it as well.

Troubles Continue in the Eurozone While Japan and China Announce Fiscal Policy Shifts

The eurozone’s economic woes continued unabated. Governments across the peripheral eurozone economies faced a backlash from a populace tired of economic austerity. Growth remained sluggish throughout the eurozone and Moody’s cut the United Kingdom’s AAA credit rating to Aa1. An interest-rate cut by the European Central Bank in May sparked a brief rally in the eurozone, but the region remains mired in a host of economic woes, including elevated unemployment, which hit a staggering near 50% among youth in countries such as Spain.

In Asia, the Bank of Japan unleashed unprecedented QE measures that triggered a massive rally in Japanese equities with an attendant large decline in the yen versus the dollar. Japanese bond yields unexpectedly rose sharply in April, pushing yields on government bonds, including U.S. Treasuries, higher worldwide. It remains to be seen whether these measures will be able to overcome Japan’s demographic challenges and return the nation to its former competitiveness. However, it is encouraging to see a policy shift after decades of ignoring monetary measures in favor of largely futile fiscal stimulus.

Elsewhere in Asia, China faced continued fears of a slowing economy that culminated in a strong sell-off of nearly 14% on the Shanghai Composite in June alone. Although the officially reported Chinese gross domestic product (GDP) figures remain in the high 7% range, other statistics such as PMI manufacturing, industrial production, and trade all point to an economy in a slowing growth phase. In addition, the Chinese government announced a policy shift in early summer that would favor a smaller role for the government in the economy going forward.

OUTLOOK

While problems abound, the United States remains a bright spot in an otherwise shaky global economic picture. Given the year-to-date strength of U.S. equities, pullbacks in the second half of 2013 should be expected and welcomed as a sign of healthy markets. We believe the fiscal drag from the sequester should peak in the third quarter. Furthermore, companies will be eager to reduce earnings estimates for an easy beat on second-quarter earnings. The ever-present fears of a slowing QE will remain through year end, although that won’t prevent the economy from growing. The pace may be slow, but continued improvements in the labor market and housing remain powerful drivers of growth in both the near and long terms.

We expect policymakers to continue periodically driving bond markets over the balance of 2013 and for price volatility to run at a higher overall level. First and foremost is any change in the expected timing and amount of tapering of the Fed’s $85 billion per month QE, which we expect to commence between September and December--probably later rather than sooner. In addition, the confluence of German federal elections and the potential for another U.S. debt ceiling face-off could move markets in September.

As U.S. monetary policy becomes somewhat less accommodative, the search for yield will resume. We expect money market and savings rates to remain near zero for two more years. The backup in yields during May and June, and the underperformance of corporate and municipal debt securities relative to Treasuries, created attractive buying opportunities. Our fundamental view of U.S. corporate and municipal bonds remains quite positive.

Sincerely,


Natalie A. Trunow

SHAREHOLDER EXPENSE EXAMPLE

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

This Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2013 to June 30, 2013).

Note: Expenses do not reflect charges and expenses of the variable annuity or variable universal life contract.

Actual Expenses

The first line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare the 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. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

The fees and expenses of the Underlying Funds in which the Portfolio invests are not included in the annualized expense ratios.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A –- SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

General: Calvert VP Volatility Managed Growth Portfolio (the “Portfolio”), a series of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. (the “Fund”), is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund is comprised of twelve separate portfolios. The operations of each series of the Fund are accounted for separately. The Portfolio began operations on April 30, 2013 and offers Class F shares, which are subject to Distribution Plan Expenses. Shares of the Portfolio are sold without sales charge to affiliated and unaffiliated insurance companies for allocation to certain of their variable separate accounts. The Portfolio invests primarily in exchange traded funds representing a broad range of asset classes (the “Underlying Funds”) and derivatives to manage overall portfolio volatility.

Security Valuation: Net asset value per share is determined every business day as of the close of the regular session of the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time). The Portfolio uses independent pricing services approved by the Board of Directors (“the Board”) to value its investments wherever possible. Investments for which market quotations are not available or deemed not reliable are fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The Board has adopted Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) to determine the fair value of securities and other financial instruments for which market prices are not readily available or which may not be reliably priced. The Board has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for determining the fair value of assets of the Portfolio to Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor” or “Calvert”) and has provided these Procedures to govern Calvert in its valuation duties.

Calvert has chartered an internal Valuation Committee to oversee the implementation of these Procedures and to assist it in carrying out the valuation responsibilities that the Board has delegated.

The Valuation Committee meets on a regular basis to review illiquid securities and other investments which may not have readily available market prices. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

The Valuation Committee utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of the Portfolio’s investments. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establishes a disclosure hierarchy that categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value assets and liabilities at measurement date. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

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

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

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

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP VOLATILITY MANAGED GROWTH PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 13


 

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an investment’s assigned level within the hierarchy during the period. There were no such transfers during the period. Valuation techniques used to value the Portfolio’s investments by major category are as follows:

Exchange traded products are valued at the official closing price as reported by an independent pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.

Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value, and are categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy.

If a market value cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Advisor, the market value does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or if a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security will be fair valued as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee.

The Valuation Committee considers a number of factors, including significant unobservable valuation inputs when arriving at fair value. It considers all significant facts that are reasonably available and relevant to the determination of fair value.

The Valuation Committee primarily employs a market-based approach which may use related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. When more appropriate, the fund may employ an income-based or cost approach. An income-based valuation approach discounts anticipated future cash flows of the investment to calculate a present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. A cost based approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (current replacement cost). From the seller’s perspective, the price that would be received for the asset is determined based on the cost to a buyer to acquire or construct a substitute asset of comparable utility, adjusted for obsolescence.

The values assigned to fair value investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized. Further, due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of such investments, the fair values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market existed, and the differences could be material. The Valuation Committee employs various methods for calibrating these valuation approaches including a regular review of key inputs and assumptions, transactional back-testing or disposition analysis and reviews of any related market activity.

At June 30, 2013, no securities were fair valued in good faith under the direction of the Board.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Portfolio’s net assets as of June 30, 2013:

  VALUATION INPUTS
INVESTMENTS IN SECURITIES* LEVEL 1   LEVEL 2 LEVEL 3 TOTAL  
Exchange traded products $4,565,617   $4,565,617  
Other debt obligations   $249,746 249,746  
TOTAL $4,565,617   $249,746 $4,815,363  
 
Other financial instruments** ($8,640 ) ($8,640 )

 

* For a complete listing of investments, please refer to the Schedule of Investments.

**Other financial instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Schedule of Investments, such as futures, which are valued at the unrealized appreciation/depreciation on the instrument.

Futures Contracts: The Portfolio may purchase and sell futures contracts to manage overall portfolio volatility. These futures contracts may include, but are not limited to, market index futures contracts and futures contracts based on U.S. government obligations. The Portfolio may enter into futures contracts agreeing to buy or sell a financial instrument for a set price at a future date. Initial margin deposits of either cash or securities as required by the broker are made upon entering into the contract. While the contract is open, daily variation margin payments are made to or received from the broker reflecting the daily change in market value of the contract and are recorded for financial reporting purposes as unrealized gains or losses by the Portfolio. When a futures contract is closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between the opening and closing value of the contract. The risks associated with entering into futures contracts may include the possible illiquidity of the secondary market which would limit the Portfolio’s ability to close out a futures contract prior to the settlement date, an imperfect correlation between the value of the contracts and the underlying financial instruments, or that the counterparty will fail to perform its obligations under the contracts’ terms. Futures contracts are designed by boards of trade which are designated “contracts markets” by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. Futures contracts trade on the contracts markets in a manner that is similar to the way a stock trades on a stock exchange and the boards of trade, through their clearing corporations, guarantee the futures contracts against default. As a result, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Portfolio. During the period, futures contracts were used to adjust the Portfolio’s overall equity exposure in an effort to stabilize portfolio volatility around a target level. The Portfolio’s futures contracts at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments.

During the period from the inception of the Portfolio through June 30, 2013, the Portfolio invested in E-Mini S&P 500 Index futures. The volume of activity has varied throughout the period with a weighted average of 20 contracts and $1,476,600 weighted average notional value.

Security Transactions and Investment Income: Security transactions, normally related to shares of the Underlying Funds, are accounted for on trade date. Realized gains and losses are recorded on an identified cost basis and may include proceeds from litigation. Income and capital gain distributions from the Underlying Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of the Portfolio and do not include any expenses associated with the Underlying Funds.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP VOLATILITY MANAGED GROWTH PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 15


 

Distributions to Shareholders: Distributions to shareholders are recorded by the Portfolio on ex-dividend date. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized capital gains, if any, are paid at least annually. Distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles; accordingly, periodic reclassifications are made within the Portfolio’s capital accounts to reflect income and gains available for distribution under income tax regulations.

Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Federal Income Taxes: No provision for federal income or excise tax is required since the Portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code and to distribute substantially all of its taxable earnings.

Management has analyzed the Portfolio’s tax positions taken for all open federal income tax years and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Portfolio’s financial statements. A Portfolio’s federal tax return is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

EXPLANATION OF FINANCIAL TABLES

SCHEDULE OF INVESTMENTS

The Schedule of Investments is a snapshot of all securities held in the fund at their market value, on the last day of the reporting period. Securities are listed by asset type (e.g., common stock, corporate bonds, U.S. government obligations) and may be further broken down into sub-groups and by industry classification.

STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The Statement of Assets and Liabilities is often referred to as the fund’s balance sheet. It lists the value of what the fund owns, is due and owes on the last day of the reporting period. The fund’s assets include the market value of securities owned, cash, receivables for securities sold and shareholder subscriptions, and receivables for dividends and interest payments that have been earned, but not yet received. The fund’s liabilities typically include payables for securities purchased and shareholder redemptions, and expenses owed but not yet paid. The statement also reports the fund’s net asset value (NAV) per share on the last day of the reporting period. The NAV is calculated by dividing the fund’s net assets (assets minus liabilities) by the number of shares outstanding. This statement is accompanied by a Schedule of Investments. Alternatively, if certain conditions are met, a Statement of Net Assets may be presented in lieu of this statement and the Schedule of Investments.

STATEMENT OF NET ASSETS

The Statement of Net Assets provides a detailed list of the fund’s holdings, including each security’s market value on the last day of the reporting period. The Statement of Net Assets includes a Schedule of Investments. Other assets are added and other liabilities subtracted from the investments total to calculate the fund’s net assets. Finally, net assets are divided by the outstanding shares of the fund to arrive at its share price, or Net Asset Value (NAV) per share.

At the end of the Statement of Net Assets is a table displaying the composition of the fund’s net assets. Paid in Capital is the money invested by shareholders and represents the bulk of net assets. Undistributed Net Investment Income and Accumulated Net Realized Gains usually approximate the amounts the fund had available to distribute to shareholders as of the statement date. Accumulated Realized Losses will appear as negative balances. Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) is the difference between the market value of the fund’s investments and their cost, and reflects the gains (losses) that would be realized if the fund were to sell all of its investments at their statement-date values.

STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS

The Statement of Operations summarizes the fund’s investment income earned and expenses incurred in operating the fund. Investment income includes dividends earned from stocks and interest earned from interest-bearing securities in the fund. Expenses incurred in operating the fund include the advisory fee paid to the investment advisor, administrative services fees, distribution plan expenses (if applicable), transfer agent fees, shareholder servicing expenses, custodial, legal, and audit fees, and the printing and postage expenses related to shareholder reports. Expense offsets (fees paid indirectly) are also shown. Credits earned from offset arrangements are used to reduce the fund’s expenses. This statement also shows net gains (losses) realized on the sale of investments and the increase or decrease in the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments held during the period.

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP VOLATILITY MANAGED GROWTH PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 19


 

STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN NET ASSETS

The Statement of Changes in Net Assets shows how the fund’s total net assets changed during the two most recent reporting periods. Changes in the fund’s net assets are attributable to investment operations, distributions and capital share transactions.

The Operations section of the report summarizes information detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distribution section shows the dividend and capital gain distributions made to shareholders. The amounts shown as distributions in this section may not match the net investment income and realized gains amounts shown in the Operations section because distributions are determined on a tax basis and certain investments or transactions may be treated differently for financial statement and tax purposes. The Capital Share Transactions section shows the amount shareholders invested in the fund, either by purchasing shares or by reinvesting distributions, and the amounts redeemed. The corresponding numbers of shares issued, reinvested and redeemed are shown at the end of the report.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The Financial Highlights table provides a per-share breakdown by class of the components that affect the fund’s net asset value for current and past reporting periods. The table provides total return, total distributions, expense ratios, portfolio turnover and net assets for the applicable period. Total return is a measure of a fund’s performance that encompasses all elements of return: dividends, capital gain distributions and changes in net asset value. Total return is the change in value of an investment over a given period, assuming reinvestment of any dividends and capital gain distributions, expressed as a percentage of the initial investment. Total distributions include distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Long-term gains are earned on securities held in the fund more than one year. Short-term gains, on the sale of securities held less than one year, are treated as ordinary dividend income for tax purposes. The expense ratio is a fund’s cost of doing business, expressed as a percentage of net assets. These expenses directly reduce returns to shareholders. Portfolio turnover measures the trading activity in a fund’s investment portfolio – how often securities are bought and sold by a fund. Portfolio turnover is affected by market conditions, changes in the size of the fund, the nature of the fund’s investments and the investment style of the portfolio manager.

BASIS FOR BOARD’S APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND INVESTMENT SUBADVISORY CONTRACTS

At a meeting held on March 6, 2013, the Board of Directors, and by a separate vote, the disinterested Directors, of Calvert Variable Products, Inc. (the “Fund”) voted to approve an amendment to the Investment Advisory Agreement (“Advisory Agreement”) between the Fund and Calvert Investment Management, Inc. (the “Advisor”) that would add the Portfolio to the Advisory Agreement; an amendment to the Investment Subadvisory Agreement (the “Ameritas Subadvisory Agreement”) between the Advisor and Ameritas Investment Partners, Inc. (“Ameritas”) (formerly Summit Investment Advisors, Inc.) that would add the Portfolio to the Ameritas Subadvisory Agreement; and initially approve the Investment Subadvisory Agreement (the “Milliman Subadvisory Agreement”) between the Advisor and Milliman Financial Risk Management LLC (“Milliman”) with respect to the Portfolio. Ameritas and Milliman are each referred to individually as a Subadvisor and, together, as the Subadvisors. The Ameritas Subadvi-sory Agreement and the Milliman Subadvisory Agreement are each referred to individually as a Subadvisory Agreement and, together, as the Subadvisory Agreements.

In evaluating the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreements, the Board considered a variety of information relating to the Portfolio, the Advisor and each Subadvisor. The disinterested Directors reviewed certain information and materials prepared by the Advisor and the Subadvisors regarding various services to be provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor and its affiliates and the Subadvisors.

The disinterested Directors were separately represented by independent legal counsel with respect to their consideration of the approval of the amendment to the Advisory Agreement, the amendment to the Ameritas Subadvisory Agreement and the Milliman Subadvisory Agreement. Prior to voting, the disinterested Directors reviewed the proposed amendment to the Advisory Agreement, the amendment to the Ameritas Subadvisory Agreement and the Milliman Subadvisory Agreement with management and also met in a private session with their counsel at which no representatives of management were present.

In the course of its deliberations regarding the Advisory Agreement, the Board of Directors considered the following factors, among others: the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided by the Advisor, including the personnel that would be providing such services; the Advisor’s financial condition; the level and method of computing the Portfolio’s proposed advisory fee; comparative fee and expense information for the Portfolio; the profitability of the Calvert Family of Funds to the Advisor; the direct and indirect benefits, if any, to be derived by the Advisor from its relationship with the Portfolio; the effect of the Portfolio’s potential growth and size on the Portfolio’s performance and expenses; the Advisor’s compliance programs and policies; the Advisor’s performance of substantially similar duties for other funds; and any possible conflicts of interest.

In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor under the Advisory Agreement, the Board of Directors reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, including, among other data, biographical information on the Advisor’s supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Board of Directors also took into

www.calvert.com CALVERT VP VOLATILITY MANAGED GROWTH PORTFOLIO SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT (UNAUDITED) 21


 

account similar information provided throughout the previous year by the Advisor as well as the Board of Directors’ familiarity with the Advisor’s senior management through Board of Directors’ meetings, discussions, and other reports. The Board of Directors discussed the Advisor’s effectiveness in monitoring the performance of subadvisors to other funds within the Calvert Family of Funds and the Advisor’s timeliness in responding to performance issues with respect to those funds. The Advisor’s administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Portfolio, were also considered. The Board of Directors concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor under the Advisory Agreement.

In considering performance, the Board took into account Ameritas’s performance with similarly-managed accounts and Milliman’s experience managing volatility for mutual funds, noting the Subadvisors’ performance records with respect to the investment strategies that they would utilize in managing the Portfolio. With respect to Ameritas, the Board took into account that the Subadvisor will be responsible for selecting the exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) in which the Portfolio will invest, managing daily cash flow, and rebalancing the Portfolio’s investments in underlying ETFs. The Board noted that from December 2006 through April 2011, Ameritas was the subadvisor to three of the Fund’s ETF-based asset allocation portfolios. The Board also noted that Ameritas will use substantially the same process in managing the Portfolio as it used in managing those ETF-based asset allocation portfolios. The Board noted that the allocation portfolios that utilized conservative and aggressive strategies outperformed the custom benchmark, gross of fees, for the period from December 31, 2006 to April 2011. The Board also noted that the portfolio that utilized a moderate strategy underperformed the custom benchmark, gross of fees, for the same period.

With respect to Milliman, the Board took into account that the Subadvisor will be responsible for providing the volatility overlay and capital protection strategy to the Portfolio. The Board noted that while Milliman has been subadvising mutual funds that employ volatility management strategies since 2011, Milliman has backtested the rules and models that define its volatility management process since January 3, 2000. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s strategies, when Milliman’s volatility management approach was applied, outperformed the Portfolio’s strategies that had not been adjusted for volatility management for the period from January 3, 2000 to June 1, 2012. The Board also noted that Ameritas, an affiliate of the Advisor, has employed Milliman’s hedging strategies since 2007.

Based on its review, the Board concluded that the Advisor has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisors are qualified to manage the Portfolio’s assets in accordance with the Portfolio’s investment objective and policies.

In considering the Portfolio’s fees and expenses, the Board of Directors compared the Portfolio’s proposed fees and estimated total expense ratio with those of comparable funds. The Board noted that the Portfolio’s proposed management fee and estimated total expenses, after estimated reimbursements, were generally within the range of the management fees and total expenses paid by certain comparable funds as selected by the Advisor in the materials it provided to the Board. The Board of Directors took into account that the Advisor had contractually agreed to impose expense limitations on all share classes of the Portfolio through April 30, 2014. The Board also considered the impact of the size of the Portfolio on the Portfolio’s expenses. Based upon its review, the Board of Directors determined that the proposed advisory fee was reasonable in view of the services to be provided to the Portfolio by the Advisor and the other factors considered.

In reviewing the anticipated profitability of the advisory fee to the Portfolio’s Advisor, the Board of Directors considered the fact that affiliates would be providing shareholder servicing and administrative services to the Portfolio for which they would receive compensation. The Board of Directors also considered whether the Advisor had the financial wherewithal to provide a high level of services to the Portfolio. The Board of Directors noted that the Advisor had agreed to reimburse expenses of the Portfolio above a certain asset level. The Board of Directors also considered that the Advisor would likely derive benefits to its reputation and other indirect benefits from its relationship with the Portfolio. The Board also noted that the Advisor would pay the subadvisory fee to each Subad-visor. Based upon its review, the Board of Directors concluded that the Advisor’s anticipated level of profitability from its relationship with the Portfolio was reasonable.

The Board of Directors considered the effect of the Portfolio’s potential size and growth on its performance and expenses. The Board of Directors noted that if the Portfolio’s assets increased over time, the Portfolio might realize economies of scale if assets increased proportionally more than certain other expenses. The Board of Directors concluded that adding breakpoints to the advisory fee at specified asset levels would not be appropriate at this time. In approving the amendment to the Advisory Agreement, the Board of Directors, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director attributed different weight to various factors.

In evaluating the Subadvisory Agreements, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor and each Sub-advisor relating to the Subadvisors’ operations, personnel, investment philosophy, strategies and techniques. Among other information, the Advisor and each Subadvisor provided biographical information on portfolio management and other professional staff, performance information for the Subadvisor, and descriptions of the Subadvisor’s investment philosophies, strategies and techniques, organizational and management structures, and brokerage policies and practices.

The Board approved the amendment to the Ameritas Subadvisory Agreement and the Milliman Subadvisory Agreement between the Advisor and the Subadvisors based on a number of factors relating to each Subadvisor’s ability to perform under the respective Subadvisory Agreement. In the course of its deliberations, the Board evaluated, among other factors: the nature, extent and the quality of the services to be provided by each Subadvisor; each Subadvisor’s management style and long-term performance record in employing its investment strategies; each Subadvisor’s current level of staffing and its overall resources; the qualifications and experience of each Subadvisor’s personnel; each Subadvisor’s financial condition with respect to its ability to perform the services required under the respective Subadvisory Agreement; each Subadvisor’s compliance systems, including those related to personal investing; and any disciplinary history. Based upon its review, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided to the Portfolio by each Subadvisor under the respective Subadvisory Agreement.

As noted above, the Board considered, among other information, the performance of comparable accounts managed by the Subadvisors using investment strategies that were substantially similar to the ones the Subadvisors proposed to use in managing the Portfolio. The Board noted the Advisor’s expertise and resources in monitoring performance, investment style, and risk-adjusted performance of other subadvisors.

In considering the cost of services to be provided by each Subadvisor and the estimated profitability to each Sub-advisor of its relationship with the Portfolio, the Board noted that the subadvisory fees under each Subadvisory Agreement would be paid by the Advisor out of the advisory fees that the Advisor would receive under the Advisory Agreement. In the case of Milliman, the Board also relied on the ability of the Advisor to negotiate the Subadvisory

Agreement and the corresponding subadvisory fee at arm’s length. Based upon its review, the Board determined that the proposed subadvisory fees were reasonable. Because the Advisor would pay each Subadvisor’s subadvisory fee and, in the case of Milliman, had negotiated that subadvisory fee at arm’s length, the costs of services to be provided by the Subadvisors and the estimated profitability to the Subadvisors of their relationships with the Portfolio were not material factors in the Board’s deliberations. For similar reasons, the Board did not consider the potential economies of scale in each Subadvisor’s management of the Portfolio to be a material factor in its consideration.

In approving the amendment to the Ameritas Subadvisory Agreement and the Milliman Subadvisory Agreement, the Board, including the disinterested Directors, did not identify any single factor as controlling, and each Director attributed different weight to various factors.

CONCLUSIONS

The Board reached the following conclusions regarding the Advisory Agreement and each Subadvisory Agreement, among others: (a) the Advisor has demonstrated that it possesses the capability and resources to perform the duties required of it under the Advisory Agreement; (b) each Subadvisor is qualified to manage the Portfolio’s assets in accordance with the Portfolio’s investment objective and policies; (c) the Advisor and each Subadvisor maintain appropriate compliance programs; (d) each Subadvisor’s investment strategies are appropriate for pursuing the investment objective of the Portfolio; and (e) the Portfolio’s proposed advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable in relation to those of similar funds and to the services to be provided by the Advisor and each Subadvisor. Based on its conclusions, the Board determined that the approval of amendments to the Advisory Agreement and Ameritas Subadvi-sory Agreement, and the approval of Milliman Subadvisory Agreement would be in the interests of the Portfolio and its shareholders.
