A price/sales ratio is calculated by dividing the company’s market capitalization by the revenue in the most recent year; or, equivalently, divide the per-share stock price by the per-share revenue.
 
A yield curve is a graph that plots bond yields vs. maturities, at a set point in time, assuming the bonds have equal credit quality. In the U.S., the yield curve generally refers to that of Treasuries.
 
Treasuries (including bonds, notes, and bills) are securities sold by the federal government to consumers and investors to fund its operations. They are all backed by “the full faith and credit of the United States government,” and thus are considered free of default risk.
 
Treasury Inflation-Protected Security (TIPS) are a type of Treasury security issued by the U.S. government that is indexed to inflation in order to protect investors from a decline in the purchasing power of their money. As inflation rises, TIPS adjust in price to maintain their real value.

Duration measures the sensitivity of a fixed income security’s price (or the aggregate market value of a portfolio of fixed income securities) to changes in interest rates. Fixed income securities with longer durations generally have more volatile prices than those of comparable quality with shorter durations.
 
A basis point is a unit of measure used in finance to describe the percentage change in the value or return of a financial instrument. One basis point is equal to 1/100th of 1% or 0.01% (0.0001).
 
Investment grade and non-investment grade (high yield) categories are determined by credit ratings from Standard and Poor’s and Moody’s, which are private independent rating services that assign grades to bonds to represent their credit quality. The issues are evaluated based on such factors as the bond issuer’s financial strength, or its ability to pay a bond’s principal and interest in a timely fashion. Standard and Poor’s ratings are expressed as letters ranging from ‘AAA’, which is the highest grade, to ‘D’, which is the lowest grade. Moody’s ratings are expressed as letters and numbers ranging from ‘Aaa’, which is the highest grade, to ‘C’, which is the lowest grade. A Standard and Poor’s rating of BBB- or higher is considered investment grade. A Moody’s rating of Baa3 or higher is considered investment grade. A Standard and Poor’s rating below BBB- is considered noninvestment grade. A Moody’s rating below Baa3 is considered non-investment grade.

Letter from the Chief Investment Officers

April 15, 2022
 
The past twelve months have been a period of transition in both the economy and the markets. At the start of the fiscal year, optimistic investors were focused primarily on the end of the pandemic, trying to determine how best to capitalize on the subsequent economic reopening. Following the emergence of the Delta variant, sentiment deteriorated and attention shifted to concerns about inflation, as the Fed finally acknowledged that the problem was more than transitory and announced it would raise rates to break the cycle. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine further complicated the economic and geopolitical outlook, adding a new layer of uncertainty and further roiling the markets.
 
We now find ourselves facing an uncomfortable mix of headwinds, all of which are likely to persist for the near-to-medium term. Looking first at the war, provided there is no meaningful escalation, we believe it is less of an economic event than a humanitarian and geopolitical one. Russia and Ukraine are not economic powerhouses save for the export of some commodities, specifically oil, natural gas, wheat, and some metals, including nickel, all of which saw huge price spikes following the invasion. Volatility in commodity prices has calmed down a bit, although they still are quite elevated versus prewar levels. We would expect supplies from elsewhere to increase over time and for prices to ease. As the adage in commodity markets goes, the cure for high prices is high prices!
 
In our view, the biggest issue facing the markets is how long it will take to get inflation under control, and how high the Fed will increase rates in the process. Rising rates tend to depress both equity valuations and bond prices, so a protracted and material steepening of the yield curve is likely to trigger at least some market declines.
 
A closely related question is whether the Fed can break the inflationary cycle while engineering a soft landing, or will they inadvertently plunge us into a deep recession? Based on their track record, the odds are not great, but we remain cautiously optimistic. Since 1961 there have been three times when the Fed raised the fed funds rate above what they considered the natural rate (that elusive level where economic activity is neither helped nor hurt) without causing a recession: 1965, 1984, and 1994. We believe they have a chance to do it again because the fundamentals of the U.S. economy are healthy, and fortunately some of the strongest inflationary pressures are related to the pandemic and to the Ukraine situation, so they should eventually abate over time.
 
For more information about how the events of the past year have impacted our funds, we invite you to read the Portfolio Managers’ reviews, which also discuss how we are adjusting our portfolios given the various market crosscurrents.
 
Please let us know if you have any questions. If you are not currently receiving our quarterly shareholder letters by email and would like to, please email contact@osterweis.com or call (800) 700-3316.

Osterweis Fund | Portfolio Managers’ Review

Performance Summary
 
For the period of April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022, the Osterweis Fund (the “Fund”) generated a total return of 5.49% versus 15.65% for the S&P 500. (Please see standardized performance in the table following this review.)
 
Market Review
 
The past twelve months have been a volatile stretch in the equity markets. The S&P 500 delivered strong returns, but there were plenty of ups and downs along the way. The market did well during the first fiscal quarter, as the worst of the Covid restrictions were lifted and the economy began to reopen in earnest. But the second fiscal quarter was a different story, with stocks languishing as investors began to grapple with inflation and the onset of the Delta variant. The market rebounded in the third fiscal quarter, as Covid appeared to be receding and investors once again looked forward to the economy reopening. However, the optimism faded quickly in the fourth fiscal quarter, as the Omicron variant, persistent inflation, the Ukraine conflict, and most importantly, the Fed’s decision to tighten monetary policy all weighed down markets.
 
Portfolio Review
 
For the twelve months ending March 31, 2022, the Fund posted a solid absolute return but trailed the S&P 500. We feel our underperformance was largely driven by the market’s recent preference for value-oriented companies – stocks with lower multiples are less susceptible to valuation compression and are therefore attractive in periods of rising rates and increasing inflation. Although it has hurt our relative performance over the past fiscal year, we remain committed to investing in high-quality companies with strong long-term growth prospects. We believe that the market will eventually reward firms that deliver sustained revenue and earnings growth.
 
Looking at our portfolio, security selection had the biggest negative impact on our relative returns, primarily because our positions in Consumer Discretionary, Information Technology, Financials, and Health Care each lagged their counterparts in the index. Our Communication Services and Industrials holdings both significantly outperformed the corresponding benchmark sectors, but not enough to close the gap.
 
Our sector weighting also contributed modestly to our underperformance. We were underweight energy, which was by far the best performing sector in the index during the period. Additionally, our overweight to industrials materially hurt our relative performance.
 
We raised our cash position during the period due to increased market volatility, which also detracted from our results versus the benchmark.
 
Outlook & Portfolio Positioning
 
The headwinds impacting the market during the fourth fiscal quarter are likely to remain in place for at least the near term. Inflation is the primary concern, as the pandemic continues to create supply chain issues in Asia and the Ukraine conflict continues to push up the global price of energy. The Fed is clearly committed to controlling inflation by raising short-term rates, so markets are likely to remain volatile until inflation data begins to improve and/or the Fed adopts a less hawkish stance.
 
Given the inflationary environment, we think it is prudent to invest in companies with some combination of pricing power and the ability to offset higher labor costs with productivity gains. We also think firms that produce labor-saving software and hardware (i.e., robotics technology) will fare well. More broadly, we continue to invest in what we believe to be market-leading companies that are well positioned for growth over a multi-year horizon.

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.
 
The Osterweis Fund may invest in medium and smaller sized companies, which involve additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility. The Fund may invest in foreign and emerging market securities, which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. These risks may increase for emerging markets. The Fund may invest in Master Limited Partnerships, which involve risk related to energy prices, demand and changes in tax code. The Fund may invest in debt securities that are un-rated or rated below investment grade. Lower-rated securities may present an increased possibility of default, price volatility or illiquidity compared to higher-rated securities. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities.

For the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2022, the Osterweis Strategic Income Fund (the Fund) generated a total return of 2.13%, outperforming the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the BC Agg), which returned -4.15% over the same period. (Please see standardized performance in the table following this review.) The Fund also outperformed the Bloomberg U.S. Universal Bond Index (the BC Univ), which returned -4.23% over the same period1.
 
Market Review
 
The past year was a period of transition for the fixed income markets. The first three fiscal quarters were relatively calm, but sentiment turned bearish in the final fiscal quarter. Concerns about inflation, which had been simmering in the background for most of 2021, became top-of-mind in 2022 when the Fed announced it would begin raising interest rates. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine also rattled investors, as did the Omicron variant, which has continued to create supply chain issues in Asia.
 
Portfolio Review
 
For the twelve months ending March 31, 2022, the Fund outperformed the BC Univ, driven by a combination of beneficial sector allocation, duration management, and issue selection.
 
Sector allocation was the largest contributor to the Fund’s relative results, adding nearly 300 basis points (3.0%). Our significant overweight to high yield (74% for the Fund vs. 5% for the index) boosted relative performance. Our common stock holdings also contributed to our outperformance. Conversely, our underweight to investment grade bonds modestly hurt our relative performance, as did our allocation to equity-sensitive convertibles.
 
Duration management also contributed to the Fund’s relative performance, adding close to 240 basis points (2.4%). Our outsized allocation to shorter-dated bonds and cash worked well this period, as interest rates rose steadily throughout the fourth fiscal quarter. Our lower duration profile insulated us from the losses that impacted the index.
 
Issue selection also helped our relative performance during the period, adding roughly 180 basis points (1.8%). Almost all of the value added came from our high yield bonds, which generated gains during the period while their counterparts in the index delivered a small loss.
 
Outlook & Portfolio Positioning
 
Given the various crosscurrents in the economy, including inflation, the pandemic, the Ukraine war, and the Fed tightening cycle, we are keeping our defensive posture and focusing on what we can control. Mostly, this means continuing to maintain a healthy cash reserve and a short maturity profile while we wait for conditions to settle down. With the yield curve being relatively flat, there is not much benefit to buying longer-dated bonds, so we can afford to be patient.
 
 
____________________
 
Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.
 
Lower-rated securities may present an increased possibility of default, price volatility or illiquidity compared to higher-rated securities. The Fund may invest in foreign and emerging market securities, which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Small- and mid-capitalization companies tend to have limited liquidity and greater price volatility than large-capitalization companies. From time to time, the Fund may have concentrated positions in one or more sectors subjecting the Fund to sector emphasis risk. The Fund may invest in municipal securities which are subject to the risk of default.

Growth & Income Fund | Portfolio Managers’ Review

Performance Summary
 
The Osterweis Growth & Income Fund (the Fund) generated a total return of 7.46% for the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2022, nearly in line with its blended benchmark, composed of 60% S&P 500 Index (S&P 500) and 40% Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (BC Agg), which returned 7.50% over the same period. (Please see standardized performance in the table following this letter.) The Fund’s performance exactly matched a blended benchmark composed of 60% S&P 500 and 40% Bloomberg U.S. Universal Bond Index (BC Univ), which also returned 7.46% over the period.1
 
Market Review
 
The past twelve months have been a volatile stretch in the equity markets. The S&P 500 delivered strong returns, but there were plenty of ups and downs along the way. The market did well during the first fiscal quarter, as the worst of the Covid restrictions were lifted and the economy began to reopen in earnest. But the second fiscal quarter was a different story, with stocks languishing as investors began to grapple with inflation and the onset of the Delta variant. The market rebounded in the third fiscal quarter, as Covid appeared to be receding and investors once again looked forward to the economy reopening. However, the optimism faded quickly in the fourth fiscal quarter, as the Omicron variant, persistent inflation, the Ukraine conflict, and most importantly, the Fed’s decision to tighten monetary policy all weighed down markets.
 
The past year was also a fluid period for the fixed income markets. The first three fiscal quarters were relatively calm, but sentiment turned bearish in the final fiscal quarter. The same concerns that roiled equities, particularly inflation, which had been simmering in the background for most of 2021, became top-of-mind when the Fed announced it would begin raising interest rates. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine also rattled fixed income investors, as did the Omicron variant, which has continued to create supply-chain issues in Asia.
 
Portfolio Review
 
During the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2022, on average 71% of the Fund was allocated to equities, 27% to fixed income, and the rest to cash. The allocation among these asset classes gave the Fund a boost over the blended benchmark during the year.
 
Equities
 
For the fiscal year, our equity positions delivered positive absolute returns, but overall they trailed the S&P 500. Our security selection detracted from relative performance, while our sector allocation was neutral.
 
A couple of sectors in the Fund’s equities outperformed the S&P 500, but most of the others lagged. On a relative basis, our best performing sector was Communication Services, which substantially beat the return of its counterpart in the S&P 500. Industrials was the other big winner for us. On the downside, security selection in Financials, Consumer Discretionary, Health Care, Materials, and Real Estate each materially detracted from relative performance.
 
Sector allocation had no overall impact on relative performance this period, as the contributions from our positive sectors were offset by the negative sectors. We were overweight Energy and underweight Communication Services, both of which helped our relative performance. However, we were overweight Industrials and underweight Information Technology, both of which detracted from our relative performance.

Growth & Income Fund | Portfolio Managers’ Review

Fixed Income
 
During the past fiscal year the fixed income portion of the Fund outperformed the BC Univ, driven by a combination of security selection, duration management, and sector allocation.
 
Security selection was the largest contributor to the Fund’s relative performance during the period, adding 181 basis points (1.81%). All of the value added came from our high yield bonds, which generated gains during the period while their counterparts in the index delivered a small loss. On the downside, our picks in investment grade detracted slightly from our relative returns.
 
Duration management also contributed to the Fund’s relative performance, adding 175 basis points (1.75%). Our outsized allocation to shorter-dated bonds and cash worked well this period, as interest rates rose steadily throughout the fourth fiscal quarter. Our lower duration profile insulated us from the losses that impacted the index.
 
Sector allocation was the smallest contributor to the Fund’s relative results, but it still added 84 basis points (0.84%). Our significant overweight to high yield (81% for the Fund vs. 5% for the index) boosted relative performance. Our busted convertible bonds also contributed to our outperformance. However, our underweight to investment grade bonds modestly hurt our relative performance, as did our allocation to equity-sensitive convertibles.
 
Outlook & Portfolio Positioning
 
The headwinds impacting the markets during the fourth fiscal quarter, including inflation, the pandemic, the Ukraine war, and the Fed tightening cycle, are likely to remain in place for at least the near term. The Fed is clearly committed to controlling inflation by raising short-term rates, so markets are likely to remain volatile until data begins to improve and/or the Fed adopts a less hawkish stance.
 
Given these challenges, we are de-emphasizing companies trading at higher valuations and focusing instead on companies trading at more modest valuations and offering growing dividends, a key component of total returns over time. Additionally, we think it is prudent to invest our equities in companies with some combination of pricing power and the ability to offset higher labor costs with productivity gains. We also think firms that produce labor-saving software and hardware (i.e., robotics technology) will fare well. More broadly, we continue to invest in what we believe to be market-leading companies that are well positioned for growth over a multi-year horizon.
 
In fixed income, we are keeping our defensive posture and focusing on what we can control. Mostly, this means continuing to maintain a short maturity profile while we wait for conditions to settle down. With the yield curve being relatively flat, there is not much benefit to buying longer-dated bonds, so we can afford to be patient.

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.
 
The Osterweis Growth & Income Fund may invest in small- and mid-capitalization companies, which tend to have limited liquidity and greater price volatility than large-capitalization companies. The Fund may invest in foreign and emerging market securities, which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. These risks may increase for emerging markets. The Fund may invest in Master Limited Partnerships, which involve risk related to energy prices, demand and changes in tax code. The Fund may invest in debt securities that are un-rated or rated below investment grade. Lower-rated securities may present an increased possibility of default, price volatility or illiquidity compared to higher-rated securities. Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. From time to time, the Fund may have concentrated positions in one or more sectors subjecting the Fund to sector emphasis risk. The Fund may also make investments in derivatives that may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity, interest rate, market, credit, management and the risk that a position could not be closed when most advantageous. Leverage may cause the effect of an increase or decrease in the value of the portfolio securities to be magnified and the fund to be more volatile than if leverage was not used. Investments in preferred securities have an inverse relationship with changes in the prevailing interest rate. Investments in Asset Backed and Mortgage Backed Securities include additional risks that investors should be aware of such as credit risk, prepayment risk, possible illiquidity and default, as well as increased susceptibility to adverse economic developments.

Emerging Opportunity Fund | Portfolio Managers’ Review

Performance Summary
 
For the period of April 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022, the Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund (the Fund) generated a total return of -14.14%, slightly outperforming the Russell 2000 Growth Index (the index), which returned -14.33% over the same period. (Please see standardized performance in the table following this review.)
 
Market Review
 
The previous fiscal year for small cap growth stocks was defined primarily by its final quarter, which was decidedly bearish. The first three fiscal quarters were relatively uneventful, but sentiment changed in the last three months as the market was weighed down by concerns about inflation, Fed tightening, the war in Ukraine, and lingering effects of the pandemic. Small cap growth was hit particularly hard during the last quarter, as investors showed a strong preference for the relative “safety” of value over growth and large stocks over small stocks.
 
Portfolio Review
 
The Fund outperformed through the first three fiscal quarters but lagged in the fourth. Early in the final fiscal quarter, the primary secular growth areas in the index, and the core of our portfolio – Information Technology, Consumer Discretionary, and Health Care – each experienced a major selloff and did not recover. This decline offset most of our outperformance in the first three quarters, and we finished the period only slightly ahead of the index.
 
For the full fiscal year, stock selection was additive to our relative performance. Health Care was our biggest contributor, as our returns were substantially higher than the Health Care returns in the index. Information Technology was another positive contributor, as our stocks delivered positive absolute returns while the tech stocks in the index delivered negative returns. On the downside, our Industrial and Consumer Staples positions substantially underperformed their counterparts in the index.
 
Sector allocation slightly detracted from our relative performance. We had no exposure to Energy, which was by far the best performing sector in the index. Similarly, we were underweight the index in Industrials, which was another strong performer relative to the rest of the index. Those detractions were somewhat offset by our underweight to Health Care, which was the worst performing sector in the index, and our overweight to Information Technology.
 
The Fund also increased its cash position from 6.4% to 11.5% during the period, which sheltered us from some of the effects of the market selloff, and also gave us flexibility to acquire new positions at attractive prices.
 
Outlook & Portfolio Positioning
 
While we do not see many quick fixes for the current market challenges, one potential silver lining is that a slowing economy should favor growth stocks, as value stocks are historically more cyclical in nature. As always, we remain committed to our core philosophy, and we continue to invest in rapidly growing small cap companies that we believe are well positioned to benefit from secular tailwinds. Historically the Russell 2000 Growth Index has rebounded from selloffs with sustained rallies, and we believe that will happen this time, too. Moreover, the portfolio’s price/sales ratio is well below its historical average, which means there should be plenty of upside ahead.

Mutual Fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. The Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund may invest in unseasoned companies, which involve additional risks such as abrupt or erratic price movements. The Fund may invest in small and mid-sized companies, which may involve greater volatility than large-sized companies. The Fund may invest in IPOs and unseasoned companies that are in the early stages of their development and may pose more risk compared to more established companies. The Fund may invest in ETFs, which involve risks that do not apply to conventional Funds. Higher turnover rates may result in increased transaction costs, which could impact performance. From time to time, the Fund may have concentrated positions in one or more sectors subjecting the Fund to sector emphasis risk. The Fund may invest in foreign and emerging market securities, which involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. These risks may increase for emerging markets.

As of most recent Prospectus dated June 30, 2021. Please see the Fund’s Financial Highlights in this report for the most recent expense ratio. The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive certain fees through June 30, 2022. The net expense ratio is applicable to investors.

The performance data quoted above represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. 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 of the Fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end may be obtained by calling (866) 236-0050. Performance prior to December 1, 2016 is that of another investment vehicle (the “Predecessor Fund”) before the commencement of the Fund’s operations. The Predecessor Fund was converted into the Fund on November 30, 2016. The Predecessor Fund’s performance shown includes the deduction of the Predecessor Fund’s actual operating expenses. In addition, the Predecessor Fund’s performance shown has been recalculated using the management fee that applies to the Fund, which has the effect of reducing the Predecessor Fund’s performance. The Predecessor Fund was not a registered mutual fund and so was not subject to the same operating expenses or investment and tax restrictions as the Fund. If it had been, the Predecessor Fund’s performance may have been lower. Investment performance reflects periods during which fee waivers were in effect. In the absence of such waivers, total return would have been reduced.

The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The returns reflect fee waivers in effect. In the absence of such waivers, total return would be reduced (See Note 3).

Total Return Fund | Portfolio Managers’ Review

Performance Summary
 
For the twelve-month period ending March 31, 2022, the Osterweis Total Return Fund (the Fund) generated a total return of -3.41%, outperforming the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the index), which returned -4.15% over the same period.
 
Market Review
 
In the investment grade fixed income market, the past fiscal year featured a bullish first quarter, two uneventful middle quarters, and a decidedly bearish final quarter. The decline in sentiment was driven primarily by investors’ realization that inflation was more than just a transitory concern, which was reinforced by the Fed’s decision to raise rates and shrink its balance sheet. The central bank’s hawkish pivot triggered a broad selloff in the final fiscal quarter that impacted all investment grade sectors, including Treasuries, corporates, and mortgages.
 
Portfolio Review
 
During the first fiscal quarter, the Fund underperformed the index largely due to its lower duration profile. The Fund benefitted from favorable security selection and an overweight in corporate bonds. Mortgage market returns were mixed as the Fund incurred slight losses on its prepayment exposure in the CMO portion of the portfolio while recouping this return through owning lower coupon MBS.
 
During the second fiscal quarter, the Fund lagged the index due to interest rate hedges and underperformance of the agency MBS portfolio resulting from elevated prepayments. Some of this underperformance was offset by security selection in corporate bonds, asset backed securities, and TIPS.
 
During the third fiscal quarter, the Fund outperformed the index, primarily due to a strong December that saw interest rate hedges and security selection in corporates add substantially to the overall return. The mortgage portfolio continued to suffer from elevated prepayments, although these have abated some in the most recent months.
 
During the fourth fiscal quarter, the Fund outperformed the index primarily due to its lower duration profile. This was observed in our corporate exposure, as well as through our interest rate hedges across the portfolio. We believe the MBS portion of the portfolio will begin to benefit from declining prepayments, a byproduct of higher mortgage rates.
 
Outlook & Portfolio Positioning
 
In our view, until inflation is controlled, market volatility will persist. That said, valuations have widened to the point where certain assets appear to offer value, especially when something of a bottom is found in the Treasury market. Looking ahead, we believe MBS offer the best risk/reward in this market and we will likely increase the size of our position there while focusing on additions to the corporate portion of the portfolio in very short-dated instruments, including commercial paper.

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible.
 
The Osterweis Total Return Fund may invest fixed income securities which are subject to credit, default, extension, interest rate and prepayment risks. It may also make investments in derivatives that may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity, interest rate, market, credit, management and the risk that a position could not be closed when most advantageous. The Fund may invest in debt securities that are un-rated or rated below investment grade. Lower-rated securities may present an increased possibility of default, price volatility or illiquidity compared to higher-rated securities. Investments in foreign and emerging market securities involve greater volatility and political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting methods. These risks may increase for emerging markets. Leverage may cause the effect of an increase or decrease in the value of the portfolio securities to be magnified and the Fund to be more volatile than if leverage was not used. Investments in preferred securities have an inverse relationship with changes in the prevailing interest rate. Investments in Asset Backed and Mortgage Backed Securities include additional risks that investors should be aware of such as credit risk, prepayment risk, possible illiquidity and default, as well as increased susceptibility to adverse economic developments. It may also make investments in derivatives that may involve certain costs and risks such as liquidity, interest rate, market, credit, management and the risk that a position could not be closed when most advantageous. The Fund may invest in municipal securities which are subject to the risk of default.

The performance data quoted above represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. 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 of the Fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month-end may be obtained by calling (866) 236-0050.
 
Growth of $10K (Inception to 3/31/2022) (Unaudited)

 

 
This chart illustrates the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment made on December 30, 2016 and is not intended to imply any future performance. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The returns reflect fee waivers in effect. In the absence of such waivers, total return would be reduced (See Note 3). The chart assumes reinvestment of capital gains, dividends and return of capital, if applicable, for the Fund and dividends for an index.

Osterweis Funds | Notes to Financial Statements at March 31, 2022

 Note 1 – Organization

The Osterweis Fund, Osterweis Strategic Income Fund, Osterweis Growth & Income Fund, Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund and Osterweis Total Return Fund (each a “Fund”, collectively the “Funds”) are diversified series of shares of beneficial interest of Professionally Managed Portfolios (the “Trust”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) as an open-end management investment company. The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services — Investment Companies.” The Funds commenced operations on October 1, 1993, August 30, 2002, August 31, 2010, November 30, 2016 and December 30, 2016, respectively.
 
The investment objective of the Osterweis Fund is to attain long-term total returns, which it seeks by investing primarily in equity securities. The investment objective of the Osterweis Strategic Income Fund is to preserve capital and attain long-term total returns through a combination of current income and moderate capital appreciation, which it seeks by investing primarily in income bearing securities. The investment objective of the Osterweis Growth & Income Fund is to attain long-term total returns and capital preservation, which it seeks by investing in both equity and fixed income securities that the Adviser believes can deliver attractive long-term returns and enhanced capital preservation. The investment objective of the Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund is to attain long-term capital appreciation. The investment objective of the Osterweis Total Return Fund is to preserve capital and attain long-term total returns through a combination of current income and moderate capital appreciation. Osterweis Capital Management, Inc. and Osterweis Capital Management, LLC may be referred to individually or collectively as the “Adviser” or “Advisers” throughout this report.
 
 Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
 
 
A.
Security Valuation. All equity securities, which may include Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”), Business Development Companies (“BDCs”) and Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”), that are traded on U.S. national or foreign securities exchanges are valued either at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded or the exchange’s official closing price. If, on a particular day, an exchange-traded security does not trade, then the mean between the most recent quoted bid and asked prices will be used. All equity securities which may include REITs, BDCs and MLPs that are not traded on a listed exchange are valued at the last sale price in the over-the-counter market. If a non-exchange traded security does not trade on a particular day, then the mean between the last quoted closing bid and asked price will be used.
     
   
Debt securities are valued by using the evaluated mean price supplied by an approved independent pricing service. The independent pricing service may use various valuation methodologies including matrix pricing and other analytical pricing models as well as market transactions and dealer quotations. These models generally consider such factors as yields or prices of bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity, ratings and general market conditions. In the absence of a price from a pricing service, securities are valued at their respective fair values as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee.
     
   
Futures contracts are priced by an approved independent pricing service. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price on the exchange on which they are principally traded.
     
   
Securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued at their respective fair values as determined in good faith by the Valuation Committee. When a security is “fair valued,” consideration is given to the facts and circumstances relevant to the particular situation, including a review of various factors set forth in the pricing procedures adopted by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Fair value pricing is an inherently subjective process, and no single standard exists for determining fair value. Different funds could reasonably arrive at different values for the same security. The use of fair value pricing by a fund may cause the net asset value of its shares to differ significantly from the net asset value that would be calculated without regard to such considerations.

Osterweis Funds | Notes to Financial Statements at March 31, 2022 (Continued)

   
As described above, the Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:

 
Level 1 –
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access.
     
 
Level 2 –
Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
     
 
Level 3 –
Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

   
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
     
   
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Significant increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. Increases in the adjustment to yield would decrease price and decreases in the adjustment to yield would increase price.
     
   
The Trust’s valuation procedures have been adopted by the Trust’s Board of Trustees, which has established a Valuation Committee to oversee valuation techniques. The Board of Trustees ratifies valuation techniques quarterly.

Other Financial Instruments are derivative instruments not reflected in the Schedule of Investments, such as futures contracts, which are presented at the unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on the investment.

   
The Funds have provided additional disclosures below regarding derivatives and hedging activity intending to improve financial reporting by enabling investors to understand how and why the Funds use futures contracts (a type of derivative), how they are accounted for and how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position. The Funds may use derivatives for risk management purposes or as part of its investment strategies. Derivatives are financial contracts whose values depend on, or are derived from, the value of an underlying asset, reference rate or index. The Funds may use derivatives to earn income and enhance returns, to hedge or adjust the risk profile of its portfolio, to replace more traditional direct investments and to obtain exposure to otherwise inaccessible markets.
     
   
The average notional amount for futures contracts is based on the monthly notional amounts. The notional amount for futures contracts represents the U.S. dollar value of the contract as of the day of opening the transaction or latest contract reset date. The Osterweis Total Return Fund’s average notional value of futures contracts outstanding during the year ended March 31, 2022, was $51,362,818. The following tables show the effects of derivative instruments on the financial statements.

B.
Foreign Currency. Foreign currency amounts, other than the cost of investments, are translated into U.S. dollar values based upon the spot exchange rate prior to the close of regular trading. The cost of investments is translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates the portfolio securities were acquired. The Funds include foreign exchange gains and losses from dividends receivable, interest receivable and other foreign currency denominated payables and receivables in Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on foreign currency translation and Net realized gain (loss) on foreign currency translation. The Funds do not isolate that portion of realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in the market price of securities for financial reporting purposes. Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on investments are thus included in Change in net unrealized appreciation/depreciation on investments and Net realized gain (loss) on investments.
     
 
C.
Futures Contracts. Each Fund may purchase or sell futures contracts and options thereon to hedge against changes in interest rates, securities (through index futures or options) or currencies. The purchase of futures contracts may be more efficient or cost-effective than buying the underlying securities or assets. A futures contract is an agreement that obligates the buyer to buy and the seller to sell a specified quantity of an underlying asset (or settle for cash the value of a contract based on an underlying asset, rate or index) at a specific price on the contract maturity date. Upon entering into a futures contract, each Fund is required to pledge to the counterparty an amount of cash, U.S. Government securities or other high-quality debt securities equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange or the broker. Pursuant to a contract entered into with a futures commission merchant, each Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the firm an amount of cash equal to the cumulative daily fluctuation in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded by the Funds as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the Funds record a gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Each Fund will cover its current obligations under futures contracts by the segregation of liquid assets or by entering into offsetting transactions or owning positions covering its obligations. The Funds’ use of futures contracts may involve risks that are different from, or possibly greater than, the risk associated with investing directly in securities or other more traditional instruments. These risks include the risk that the value of the futures contracts may not correlate perfectly, or at all, with the value of the assets, reference rates or indices that they are designed to track. Other risks include: an illiquid secondary market for a particular instrument and possible exchange-imposed price fluctuation limits, either of which may make it difficult or impossible to close out a position when desired; the risk that adverse price movements in an instrument can result in a loss substantially greater than the Funds’ initial investment in that instrument (in some cases, the potential loss is unlimited); and the risk that a counterparty will not perform its obligations. The Osterweis Total Return Fund had futures contracts activity during the year ended March 31, 2022. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in the Statements of Operations. The Osterweis Fund, Osterweis Strategic Income Fund, Osterweis Growth & Income Fund and Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund did not have futures contracts activity during the year ended March 31, 2022.
     
 
D.
To-be-announced (“TBA”) Commitments. Each Fund may enter into TBA purchase commitments. In a TBA transaction, the TBA unit price and the estimated principal amount are established when a Fund enters into a contract, with the actual principal amount being within a specified range of the estimate. Securities purchased on a TBA basis are not settled until they are delivered to the Fund, which can be 15 to 45 days later. Beginning on the date the Fund enters into a TBA transaction, cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid securities are segregated in an amount equal in value to the purchase price of the TBA security. The Funds may enter into TBA sale commitments to hedge their portfolio positions or to sell securities they own under delayed delivery arrangements. Proceeds of TBA sale commitments are not received until the contractual settlement date. Unsettled TBA sale commitments are valued at current market value of the underlying securities. If the TBA sale commitment is closed through the acquisition of an offsetting purchase commitment, a Fund realizes a gain or loss on the commitment without regard to any unrealized gain or loss on the underlying security. If a Fund delivers securities under the commitment, the Fund realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the securities based upon the unit price established at the date the commitment was entered. Transactions in TBAs are accounted for

as purchases and sales and may result in an increase to the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate. The Osterweis Total Return Fund had TBAs during the year ended March 31, 2022. The Osterweis Fund, Osterweis Strategic Income Fund, Osterweis Growth & Income Fund and Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund did not have TBA’s during the year ended March 31, 2022.

E.
Mortgage Dollar Rolls. The Funds enter into mortgage dollar rolls, typically on a TBA basis. Mortgage dollar rolls are agreements between the Fund and a financial institution where the Fund sells (or buys) mortgage-backed securities for delivery on a specified date and simultaneously contracts to repurchase (or sell) substantially similar (same type, coupon, and maturity) securities at a future date and at a predetermined price. Gains or losses are realized on the initial sale, and the difference between the repurchase price and the sale price is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss to the Fund upon entering into the mortgage dollar roll. In addition, the Fund may invest the cash proceeds that are received from the initial sale. During the period between the sale and repurchase, the Fund is not entitled to principal and interest paid on the mortgage backed securities. Transactions in mortgage dollar rolls are accounted for as purchases and sales and may result in an increase to the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate. The risks of mortgage dollar roll transactions include the potential inability of the counterparty to fulfill its obligations.
     
 
F.
Federal Income Taxes. Each Fund has elected to be taxed as a “regulated investment company” and intends to distribute substantially all taxable income to its shareholders and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes or excise taxes has been made.
     
   
In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated investment companies, each Fund intends to declare each year as dividends, in each calendar year, at least 98.0% of its net investment income (earned during the calendar year) and 98.2% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts, if any, from prior years.
     
   
Net capital losses incurred after October 31, and within the taxable year, are deemed to arise on the first business day of each Fund’s next taxable year. Net investment losses incurred after December 31, and within the taxable year, are deemed to arise on the first business day of the Fund’s next taxable year.

Osterweis Funds | Notes to Financial Statements at March 31, 2022 (Continued)

   
As of the most recent fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, there were $461,086 of late-year losses and $11,811,121 of post-October losses for Emerging Opportunity Fund.  There were no late-year or post-October losses for the Osterweis Fund, Strategic Income Fund, Growth & Income Fund and Total Return Fund.
     
   
As of the most recent fiscal year end March 31, 2022, the Funds had the following capital loss carryovers available for federal income tax purposes:

As of March 31, 2022, the Funds did not have any tax positions that did not meet the “more likely-than-not” threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Generally, tax authorities can examine all the tax returns filed for the last three years. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; however, as of March 31, 2022, the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially.
     
 
G.
Security Transactions and Investment Income. Investment securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses realized on sales of securities are determined on an identified cost basis. Discounts/premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted/amortized over the life of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends received from REITs and MLPs are generally comprised of ordinary income, capital gains and may include return of capital. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Trust’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
     
 
H.
Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains on securities for the Osterweis Fund and Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund normally are declared and paid on an annual basis. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income for the Osterweis Strategic Income Fund and Osterweis Growth & Income Fund normally are declared and paid on a quarterly basis, and distributions to shareholders from net realized gains on securities normally are declared and paid on an annual basis. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income for the Osterweis Total Return Fund normally are declared and paid on a monthly basis, and distributions to shareholders from net realized gains on securities normally are declared and paid on an annual basis. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
     
 
I.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
     
 
J.
Share Valuation. The net asset value (“NAV”) per share of each Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by each Fund, plus cash and other assets, minus all liabilities by the total number of shares outstanding for each Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. The Funds’ shares will not be priced on the days on which the New York Stock Exchange is closed for trading. The offering and redemption price per share for each Fund is equal to each Fund’s net asset value per share.
     
 
K.
Guarantees and Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.
     
 
L.
Illiquid Securities. Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Funds have adopted a Board approved liquidity risk management program that requires, among other things, that the Funds limit their illiquid investments that


54

Osterweis Funds | Notes to Financial Statements at March 31, 2022 (Continued)

   
are assets to no more than 15% of net assets. An illiquid investment is any security which may not reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment.
     
 
M.
Offsetting Agreements. The Funds are subject to various netting arrangements, which govern the terms of certain transactions with counterparties. The arrangements allow the Funds to close out and net their total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a default with respect to all transactions governed under a single agreement with a counterparty. The following table presents derivative financial instruments that are subject to enforceable netting arrangements, collateral arrangements or other similar agreements as of March 31, 2022:

Restricted Cash. Restricted cash represents amounts that are held by third parties under certain of the Fund’s derivative transactions. Such cash is excluded from cash and equivalents in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Interest income earned on restricted cash is recorded in other income on the Statements of Operations.
     
 
O.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. In March 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2020- 04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)-Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”), which provides optional, temporary relief with respect to the financial reporting of contracts subject to certain types of modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates as of the end of 2021. The temporary relief provided by ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is evaluating the impact of ASU 2020-04 on the fund’s investments, derivatives, debt and other contracts that will undergo reference rate-related modifications as a result of the reference rate reform.
     
   
In October 2020, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted new regulations governing the use of derivatives by registered investment companies (“Rule 18f-4”). The Fund will be required to comply with Rule 18f-4 by August 19, 2022. Once implemented, Rule 18f-4 will impose limits on the amount of derivatives a fund can enter into, eliminate the asset segregation framework currently used by funds to comply with Section 18 of the 1940 Act, treat derivatives as senior securities and require funds whose use of derivatives is more than a limited specified exposure amount to establish and maintain a comprehensive derivatives risk management program and appoint a derivatives risk manager. The Fund is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of this provision.
     
   
In October 2020, the SEC adopted new Rule 12d1-4 under the 1940 Act and other regulatory changes which are expected to be effective on or about January 19, 2022. Those changes are intended to streamline and enhance the regulatory framework for investments by one fund into another fund or “fund-of-funds arrangements”. These


55

Osterweis Funds | Notes to Financial Statements at March 31, 2022 (Continued)

   
regulatory changes may limit the Fund’s ability to pursue its principal investment strategies by investing in other investment companies or pooled investment vehicles or to invest in those investment companies or pooled investment vehicles it believes are most desirable. The Fund is currently assessing the potential impact of the new rule on the Fund’s financial statements.
     
   
In December 2020, the SEC adopted a new rule providing a framework for fund valuation practices (“Rule 2a-5”). Rule 2a-5 establishes requirements for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. Rule 2a-5 will permit fund boards to designate certain parties to perform fair value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions. Rule 2a-5 also defines when market quotations are “readily available” for purposes of the 1940 Act and the threshold for determining whether a fund must fair value a security. In connection with Rule 2a-5, the SEC also adopted related recordkeeping requirements and is rescinding previously issued guidance, including with respect to the role of a board in determining fair value and the accounting and auditing of fund investments. The Fund will be required to comply with the rules by September 8, 2022. The Fund is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of applying this provision.
     
 
P.
Reclassification of Capital Accounts. U.S. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. For the year ended March 31, 2021, the following adjustments were made:

 Note 3 – Commitments and Other Related Party Transactions

The Advisers provide the Funds with investment management services under separate Investment Advisory Agreements (the “Advisory Agreements”). Under the Advisory Agreements, the Advisers furnish all investment advice, office space, certain administrative services, and most of the personnel needed by each Fund. As compensation for their services, the Advisers are entitled to a monthly fee. For the Osterweis Fund, the Adviser is entitled to a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.75%. Prior to June 30, 2021, Osterweis Fund was entitled to a monthly fee at the annual rate of 1.00% of the average daily net assets up to $250 million and 0.75% of the average daily net assets greater than $250 million. For the Osterweis Strategic Income Fund, the Adviser is entitled to a monthly fee at an annual rate of 1.00% of the average daily net assets up to $250 million, 0.75% of the average daily net assets from $250 million to $2.5 billion, and 0.65% of the average daily net assets greater than $2.5 billion. For the Osterweis Growth & Income Fund, the Adviser is entitled to a monthly fee at the annual rate of 0.75%. Prior to June 30, 2021, Osterweis Growth & Income Fund was entitled to a monthly fee at the annual rate of 1.00% for the average daily net assets up to $500 million and 0.75% for the average daily net assets greater than $500 million.

For the Osterweis Total Return Fund, the Adviser is entitled to a monthly fee at an annual rate of 0.45% of the average daily net assets. The amount of investment advisory fees incurred by the Funds for the year ended March 31, 2022 is disclosed in the Statements of Operations.

Osterweis Funds | Notes to Financial Statements at March 31, 2022 (Continued)

The Adviser has contractually agreed to limit the annual ratio of expenses (Expense Cap) for the Osterweis Fund, Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund and Osterweis Total Return Fund by reducing all or a portion of their fees and reimbursing Fund expenses so that each Fund’s ratios of expenses to average net assets will not exceed 0.95%, 1.10% and 0.75%, respectively. Each Operating Expenses Limitation Agreement has an indefinite term and may be terminated at any time, and without payment of any penalty, by the Board, on behalf of the Fund, upon sixty (60) days’ written notice to the Adviser. Any fees waived and/or any Fund expenses absorbed by the Adviser pursuant to an agreed-upon expense cap shall be reimbursed by the Fund to the Adviser, if so requested by the Adviser, any time before the end of the third year following the fee waiver and/or expense absorption, provided the aggregate amount of the Fund’s current operating expenses for such year does not exceed the lesser expense cap in place at the time of waiver or at the time of reimbursement. The Fund must pay its current ordinary operating expenses before the Adviser is entitled to any reimbursements of fees and/or expenses. Any such reimbursement is also contingent upon Board review and approval. Any amount due from the Adviser is paid monthly to the Funds, if applicable. For the year ended March 31, 2022, the Adviser waived $81,223 and recaptured $63,618 in fees in the Osterweis Fund and waived $164,768 in fees in the Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund. As of March 31, 2022, the remaining cumulative amount the Adviser may be reimbursed is $738,764 for Osterweis Fund and $433,771 for Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund.
 
The Adviser may recapture a portion of the above no later than the years as stated below:

 Note 8 – Risks Associated with the Discontinuation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”)

The Funds invest significantly in corporate bonds that have interest rate provisions linked to LIBOR. LIBOR is used extensively in the U.S. and globally as a “benchmark” or “reference rate” for such loans. It is expected that a number of private-sector banks currently reporting information used to set LIBOR will stop doing so after 2021 when their current reporting commitment ends, which could either cause LIBOR to stop publication immediately or cause LIBOR’s regulator to determine that its quality has degraded to the degree that it is no longer representative of its underlying market. The expected discontinuation of LIBOR may impact the functioning, liquidity, and value of these.
 
 Note 9 – (COVID-19) Pandemic

The global outbreak of COVID-19 (commonly referred to as “coronavirus”) has disrupted economic markets and the prolonged economic impact is uncertain. Although vaccines for COVID-19 are becoming more widely available, the ultimate economic fallout from the pandemic, amid the spread of COVID-19 variants, and the long-term impact on economies, markets, industries and individual companies are not known. The operational and financial performance of individual companies and the market in general depends on future developments, including the duration and spread of any future outbreaks and the pace of recovery which may vary from market to market, and such uncertainty may in turn adversely affect the value and liquidity of the Fund's investments, impair the Fund's ability to satisfy redemption requests, and negatively impact the Fund's performance.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of Professionally Managed Portfolios
and Shareholders of the Osterweis Funds
 
Opinion on the Financial Statements
 
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Osterweis Fund, Osterweis Strategic Income Fund, Osterweis Growth & Income Fund (formerly Osterweis Strategic Investment Fund), Osterweis Emerging Opportunity Fund, and Osterweis Total Return Fund (the “Funds”), each a series of Professionally Managed Portfolios (the “Trust”), including the schedules of investments, as of March 31, 2022, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of March 31, 2022, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and their financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
Basis for Opinion
 
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We have served as the auditor of one or more of the funds in the Trust since 1995.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
 
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2022 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Osterweis Funds | Expense Examples For the Six Months Ended March 31, 2022

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (October 1, 2022 – March 31, 2022).
 
Actual Expenses
 
The “Actual” line for each of the following tables provides information about actual account values based on actual returns and actual expenses. Although the Funds charge no sales load or other transaction fees, you will be assessed fees for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks and stop payment orders at prevailing rates charged by Fund Services, the Funds’ transfer agent. If you request that a redemption be made by wire transfer, the Funds’ transfer agent currently charges a $15.00 fee. An Individual Retirement Account will be charged an annual maintenance fee. To the extent the Funds invest in shares of other investment companies as part of their strategies, you will indirectly bear your proportionate share of any fees and expenses charged by the underlying funds in which the Funds invest in addition to the expenses of the Funds. Actual expenses of the underlying funds may vary. These expenses are not included in the following examples. The following examples include, but are not limited to, investment advisory fees, fund accounting fees, fund administration fees, custody fees and transfer agent fees. However, the following examples do not include portfolio trading commissions and related 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 titled “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
 
The “Hypothetical” line for each of the following tables provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Funds’ 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 Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
