SPDR S&P MidCap 400 ETF Trust
Trust Overview
September 30, 2013

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE:

To replicate the total return of the S&P MidCap 400 IndexTM (the "Index").

INVESTMENT STRATEGY:

The SPDR S&P MidCap 400 ETF Trust (the "Trust") holdings are comprised of the 400 stocks in the Index. The Trust is designed to capture the price performance of the middle capitalization segment of the U.S. publicly traded stock market.

PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW:

The Trust seeks to match the total return of the S&P MidCap 400 Index. To accomplish its investment objective, the Trust utilizes a full replication approach. With this strategy, all 400 securities of the S&P MidCap 400 Index are owned by the Trust in their approximate market capitalization weight. This replication approach is intended to result in low expected tracking error of the Trust relative to the Index.

The Trust is not actively managed. Rather, the Trust attempts to track the performance of an unmanaged index of securities. This differs from an actively managed fund, which typically seeks to outperform a benchmark index. As a result, the Trust will hold constituent securities of the Index regardless of the current or projected performance of a specific security or a particular industry or market sector. Maintaining investments in securities regardless of market conditions or the performance of individual securities could cause the Trust's return to be lower than if the Trust employed an active strategy.

While the Trust is intended to track the performance of the Index as closely as possible (i.e., to achieve a high degree of correlation with the Index), the Trust's return may not match or achieve a high degree of correlation with the return of the Index due to expenses and transaction costs incurred in adjusting the portfolio of all of the common stocks of the Index. In addition, it is possible that the Trust may not always fully replicate the performance of the Index due to the unavailability of certain component stocks of the Index in the secondary market or due to other extraordinary circumstances (e.g., if trading in a security has been halted).

SPDR S&P MidCap 400 ETF Trust
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2013

Note 1 - Organization

SPDR® S&P MidCap 400® Trust ETF (the "Trust") is a unit investment trust that issues securities called "Units." The Trust is organized under New York law and is governed by a trust agreement between The Bank of New York Mellon (formerly, The Bank of New York) (the "Trustee") and PDR Services LLC (the "Sponsor"), dated and executed as of April 27, 1995, as amended (the "Trust Agreement"). The Trust is an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Units represent an undivided ownership interest in a portfolio of all of the common stocks of the Standard & Poor's MidCap 400 IndexTM (the "Index").

On November 13, 2013, IntercontinentalExchange Group, Inc. ("ICE") announced the completion of its acquisition of NYSE Euronext (the parent company of the Sponsor). Upon the closing of the acquisition, IntercontinentalExchange, Inc. and NYSE Euronext became wholly owned subsidiaries of ICE. As the parent company, ICE will be the publicly-traded entity, trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "ICE".

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements of the Trust are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP").

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust.

Security Valuation - Trust securities are generally valued based on the closing sale price on that day (unless the Trustee deems such price inappropriate as a basis for evaluation) on the exchange deemed to be the principal market for the security or, if there is no such appropriate closing sale price on such exchange, at the closing bid price (unless the Trustee deems such price inappropriate as a basis for evaluation). If the securities are not listed or, if so listed and the principal market therefore is other than on such exchange or there is no such closing bid price available, such evaluation shall generally be made by the Trustee in good faith based on the closing price on the over-the-counter market (unless the Trustee deems such price inappropriate as a basis for evaluation) or if there is no such appropriate closing price, (a) on current bid prices, (b) if bid prices are not available, on the basis of current bid prices for comparable securities, (c) by the Trustee's appraising


19



the value of the securities in good faith on the bid side of the market, or (d) by any combination thereof.

The Trust follows the authoritative guidance for fair value measurements and the fair value option for financial assets and financial liabilities. The guidance also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available.

The guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

• Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

• Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

• Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Trust's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of September 30, 2013 in valuing the Trust's assets carried at fair value:

Investment Transactions - Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are recorded on a specific identification basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Trust records distributions received in excess of income from underlying investments as a reduction of cost of investments and/or realized gain. Such amounts are based on estimates. If actual amounts are not available then actual amounts of income, realized gain and return of capital may differ from the estimated amounts.

Distributions to Unitholders - The Trust intends to declare and distribute dividends from net investment income quarterly. The Trust will distribute net realized capital gains, if any, at least annually, unless offset by available capital loss carryforwards.

U.S. Federal Income Tax - For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Trust has qualified as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (a "RIC") and intends to continue to qualify as a RIC. As a RIC, the Trust will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax for any taxable year on income, including net capital gains, that it distributes to the


20



holders of Units, provided that it distributes on a timely basis at least 90% of its "investment company taxable income" determined prior to the deduction for dividends paid by the Trust (generally, its taxable income other than net capital gain) for such taxable year. In addition, provided the Trust distributes during each calendar year substantially all of its ordinary income and capital gains, the Trust will not be subject to U.S. federal excise tax.

GAAP requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Trust's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. The Trustee has reviewed the tax positions for the tax years subject to audit as of September 30, 2013, and has determined that no provision for income taxes is necessary for the year ended September 30, 2013. The tax returns of the Trust's 2010, 2011, and 2012 tax years and the year ended September 30, 2013 remain subject to audit. The Trust has no unrecognized tax benefits as of September 30, 2013.

Note 3 - Transactions with the Trustee and Sponsor

In accordance with the Trust Agreement, the Trustee maintains the Trust's accounting records, acts as custodian and transfer agent to the Trust, and provides administrative services, including filing of all required regulatory reports. The Trustee is also responsible for determining the composition of the portfolio of securities which must be delivered in exchange for the issuance of Creation Units of the Trust, and for adjusting the composition of the Trust's portfolio from time to time to conform to changes in the composition and/or weighting structure of the Index. For these services, the Trustee receives a fee based on the following annual rates:

Net Asset Value of the Trust

  Fee as a Percentage of
Net Asset Value of the Trust
 
$0-$500,000,000*   0.14% per annum  
$500,000,001-$1,000,000,000*   0.12% per annum  
$1,000,000,001 and above*   0.10% per annum  

*  The fee indicated applies to that portion of the net asset value of the Trust, which falls in the size category indicated.

The Trustee voluntarily agreed to reduce its fee for the years ended September 30, 2013, 2012 and 2011 as disclosed in the Statements of Operations. The amount of the reduction equals the Federal Funds Rate, as published in the Wall Street Journal, multiplied by the daily balance of the Trust's cash account, reduced by the amount of reserves for that account required by the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. The Trustee reserves the right to discontinue this voluntary fee reduction in the future.


21



PDR Services LLC (the "Sponsor") agreed to reimburse the Trust for, or assume, the ordinary operating expenses of the Trust, to the extent such expenses exceed 0.30% per annum of the daily net asset value of the Trust as calculated by the Trustee. There were no expenses assumed by the Sponsor for the years ended September 30, 2013, 2012 and 2011.

The Sponsor retains the ability to be repaid by the Trust for expenses so reimbursed or assumed to the extent that subsequently during the year expenses fall below the expense limitation described above on any given day. At September 30, 2013, there is no outstanding amount to be repaid by the Trust to the Sponsor for expenses so reimbursed or assumed.

Except under the Trust's dividend reinvestment plan, Units are issued and redeemed by the Trust for authorized participants only in large blocks of 25,000 Units known as "Creation Units". Such transactions are permitted only on an in-kind basis, with a balancing cash component to equate the transaction to the net asset value per Unit of the Trust on the transaction date. The transaction fee payable to the Trustee in connection with each creation and redemption of Creation Units made through the clearing process ("Transaction Fee") is non-refundable, regardless of the net asset value of the Trust. The Transaction Fee is the lesser of $3,000 or 0.20% (20 basis points) of the value of one Creation Unit at the time of creation per participating party per day, regardless of the number of Creation Units created or redeemed on such day. The Transaction Fee is currently $3,000. For creations and redemptions outside the clearing process, including orders from a participating party restricted from engaging in transactions in one or more of the common stocks that are included in the Index, an additional amount not to exceed three (3) times the Transaction Fee applicable for one Creation Unit may be charged


22



per Creation Unit per day. During the year ended September 30, 2013, the Trustee earned $1,032,900 in transaction fees. The Trustee, in its sole discretion, may voluntarily reduce or waive its fee, or modify its transaction fee schedule, subject to certain limitations. There were no reductions or waivers of such fees for the year ended September 30, 2013.

At September 30, 2013, the Trustee and its affiliates held $2,006,167,091 or 14.30% of fractional undivided interest in the Trust.

Note 5 - Investment Transactions

For the year ended September 30, 2013 the Trust had net in-kind contributions, net in-kind redemptions, purchases and sales of investment securities of $19,528,346,315, $18,126,488,079, $1,609,694,117 and $1,598,306,350, respectively.

Note 6 - U.S. Federal Income Tax Status

The following details the tax basis distributions and components of distributable earnings as of September 30, 2013. The tax basis components of distributable earnings differ from the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities by temporary book/tax differences primarily arising from wash sales, distribution payable, post-October losses deferred and amortization of license fees.

Post-Enactment Short-Term Losses (no expiration):

Capital loss carryforward is calculated and reported as of a specific date. Results of transactions and other activity after that date may affect the amount of capital loss carryforward actually available for the Trust to utilize. Capital losses can be carried forward for an unlimited period, but capital losses with an expiration period (i.e., capital losses from Trust fiscal years ending on or before September 30, 2011) may not be used to offset capital gains until all net capital losses without an expiration date (i.e., capital losses from Trust fiscal years ending on or after September 30, 2012) have been utilized. Capital loss carryforwards with no


23



expiration date will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses instead of as short-term capital losses as under prior law. The ability to utilize capital loss carryforwards in the future may be limited under Internal Revenue Code rules and related regulations based on the results of future transactions.

To the extent that capital losses are used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that gains that offset will not be distributed to Unitholders.

At September 30, 2013 the Trust deferred $111,990,730 of long-term capital losses arising subsequent to October 31, 2012. For tax purposes, such losses will be reflected in the year ending September 30, 2014.

The tax composition of dividends paid during the years ending September 30, 2013, September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 was ordinary income.

As of September 30, 2013, the Trust had permanent book/tax differences primarily attributable to gains or losses from in-kind redemptions and distributions received from real estate investment trusts. To reflect reclassifications arising from these differences Distributions in excess of net investment income was increased by $269,265, accumulated net realized loss on investments was increased by $1,518,105,135 and paid-in capital was increased by $1,518,374,400.

Note 7 - Representations and Indemnifications

In the normal course of business the Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims which may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Note 8 - Related Party Transactions

The Trustee directs all portfolio securities transactions for the Trust to BNY ConvergExecution Solutions, LLC ("ConvergEx"), an affiliate of the Trustee. During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Trust paid $1,391,208, $1,709,461, and $2,829,012, respectively, in commissions on trades to ConvergEx.

Note 9 - License Agreement and Distribution Expenses

A license agreement between State Street Global Markets, LLC ("SSGM") and S&P (the "License Agreement") grants SSGM a license to use the Index as a basis for determining the composition of the portfolio of all the common stocks of the Index. The Trustee on behalf of the Trust, the Sponsor and NYSE Arca, Inc. have each received a sublicense from SSGM for the use of the Index and such trade names and trademarks in connection with their rights and duties with respect to the Trust. The License Agreement may be amended without the consent of any of the owners of Units.


24



Currently, the License Agreement is scheduled to terminate on April 27, 2020, but its term may be extended beyond such date without the consent of any of the owners of Units.

In addition, the following distribution expenses are or may be charged to the Trust: (a) reimbursement to the Sponsor of amounts paid by it to S&P in respect of annual licensing fees pursuant to the License Agreement; (b) federal and state annual registration fees for the issuance of Units; and (c) expenses of the Sponsor relating to the printing and distribution of marketing materials describing Units and the Trust (including, but not limited to, associated legal, consulting, advertising, and marketing costs and other out-of-pocket expenses such as printing). With respect to the marketing expenses described in item (c) above, the Sponsor has entered into an agreement with SSGM, pursuant to which SSGM has agreed to market and promote the Trust. SSGM is reimbursed by the Sponsor for the expenses it incurs for providing such services out of amounts that the Trust reimburses the Sponsor. Pursuant to the provisions of an exemptive order, the expenses set forth in this paragraph may be charged to the Trust by the Trustee in an amount equal to the actual costs incurred, but in no case shall such charges exceed 0.30% per annum of the daily net asset value of the Trust. These distribution expenses are presented on the Trust's Statement of Operations.

Subsequent Event

On September 15, 2013, a dividend was declared. The distribution of $0.66 per share is payable on October 31, 2013, to Unitholders of record at the close of business on September 24, 2013. The ex-dividend date is September 20, 2013.

The Trustee has evaluated subsequent transactions and events after the balance sheet date through the date on which these financial statements were issued and, except as already included in the notes to the financial statements, has determined that no additional items require disclosure.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Trustee and Unitholders of SPDR S&P MidCap 400 ETF Trust:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the SPDR S&P MidCap 400 ETF Trust at September 30, 2013, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Trustee; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at September 30, 2013 by correspondence with the custodian and the application of alternative auditing procedures where securities purchased had not been received, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
