T. ROWE PRICE ULTRA SHORT-TERM BOND ETF

HIGHLIGHTS
The fund underperformed its benchmark and performed in line with its Lipper peer group average over the six-month period ended November 30, 2022.
Front-end fixed income markets saw continued volatility over the past six months, with the yield on the two-year U.S. Treasury note hitting a near-term peak in October.
The fund’s credit risk exposure increased and ended the period around the midpoint of its typical range as we added investment-grade corporate bonds that were offering attractive spreads.
While it’s possible that Treasury rates have seen their peak for this economic cycle, it’s unclear how the market will respond to a period of higher-for-longer interest rate policy.

Market Commentary
Dear Shareholder
Global stock markets generally produced negative returns during the first half of your fund’s fiscal year, the six-month period ended November 30, 2022, while rising bond yields weighed on returns for fixed income investors. Investors contended with tightening financial conditions and slowing economic and corporate earnings growth, but hopes that persistently high inflation might be easing helped spark a rally late in the period that partially offset earlier losses.
In the U.S., equity results were mixed. The Dow Jones Industrial Average recorded positive results and mid-cap growth stocks also performed well, while most other benchmarks finished in negative territory. The S&P 500 Index was modestly negative for the period, but results varied widely at the sector level, with industrials and energy shares delivering strong gains while communication services stocks struggled. Outside the U.S., most major country and regional benchmarks lost ground. Emerging markets stocks generally underperformed shares in developed markets. Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar strengthened versus most currencies during the period, which weighed on returns for U.S. investors in international securities.
Elevated inflation remained a leading concern for investors throughout the period, although hopes that inflation may have peaked led to rallies during the summer and again in November. The October consumer price index report, which was released in mid-November, was better than expected and showed price increases easing from recent 40-year highs. However, the 7.7% year- over-year increase in the headline inflation number remained well above the Fed’s 2% target.
In response to the high inflation readings, global central banks continued to tighten monetary policy, and investors focused on communications from central bank officials on how high rates would have to go. The Federal Reserve delivered four historically large 75-basis-point (0.75 percentage point) rate hikes during the period, which lifted its short-term lending benchmark to a target range of 3.75% to 4.00% by early November, the highest level since 2008. As our reporting period came to an end, Fed officials signaled that they were likely to dial back the pace of rate increases.
Bond yields increased considerably across the Treasury yield curve as the Fed tightened monetary policy, with the yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note climbing from 2.85% at the start of the period to 3.68% at the end of November. Significant inversions in the Treasury curve, which are often considered a warning sign of a coming recession, occurred during the period as

shorter-maturity Treasuries experienced the largest yield increases. The sharp increase in yields led to generally negative results across the fixed income market as bond prices and yields move in opposite directions.
On a positive note, the U.S. jobs market remained resilient during the period, and overall economic growth turned positive in the third quarter after two slightly negative quarters. However, recession fears also grew as corporate earnings slowed and manufacturing gauges drifted toward contraction levels. In addition, the housing market began to weaken as mortgage rates climbed to the highest level in more than 20 years.
The past year has been a trying time for investors as few sectors remained untouched by the broad headwinds that markets faced, and volatility may continue in the near term as central banks tighten policy amid slowing economic growth. However, in our view, valuations have become more attractive across many market sectors during the downturn, which provides potential opportunities for selective investors focused on fundamentals.
We believe this environment makes skilled active management a critical tool for identifying risks and opportunities, and our investment teams will continue to use fundamental research to identify securities that can add value to your portfolio over the long term.
Thank you for your continued confidence in T. Rowe Price.
Sincerely,
Robert Sharps

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The fund seeks a high level of income consistent with low volatility of principal value.
FUND COMMENTARY
How did the fund perform in the past six months?
The fund returned 0.32% in the six-month period ended November 30, 2022, underperforming its benchmark, the Bloomberg Short-Term Government/ Corporate Index, and performing in line with its Lipper peer group average. (Past performance cannot guarantee future results.)
What factors influenced the fund’s performance?
Front-end fixed income markets saw continued volatility over the past six months, with the yield on the two-year U.S. Treasury note hitting a near-term peak in October. Against this backdrop, corporate bonds produced negative absolute returns as rising Treasury yields dragged bond prices lower. Corporate

credit spreads were volatile, with spreads ranging between pricing in a benign environment to near-recessionary levels. However, in a welcome change from recent periods, credit spreads ended the period roughly flat as opposed to moving higher alongside rates. This outcome, combined with higher starting yields, enabled the fund to deliver a positive total return. (Credit spreads are a measure of the additional yield offered by bonds that have credit risk compared with U.S. Treasuries with similar maturities.)
Treasuries depreciated over the reporting period. Front-end Treasury yields rose throughout most of the period as investors priced in a higher-for-longer interest rate regime. However, yields on Treasury notes and bonds moved lower in November as inflation, while still elevated, showed signs of steadily declining and the Fed delivered more clarity around its terminal policy rate. The economic environment remained resilient, but growth showed clear signs of slowing, and concerns over a possible recession also played a role in pushing Treasury yields lower. The two-year U.S. Treasury yield began the period at 2.53%, rose to 4.72% near the start of November, and ended the period at 4.38%.
Security selection within investment-grade corporate bonds generated relative gains. Bonds in the consumer noncyclical sector outperformed as periods of credit spread widening brought heightened demand for bonds with defensive characteristics.
Sector allocations modestly contributed to the fund’s relative performance in aggregate. An overweight to investment-grade corporate bonds and a corresponding underweight to U.S. Treasuries supported relative performance as hopes of a dovish pivot from the Fed led to a late-period rally in credit spreads. Conversely, out-of-benchmark allocations to securitized sectors, including commercial mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities (ABS), and residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS), weighed on relative results alongside volatility in the rates market. Our allocation to RMBS was a prominent detractor as rising interest rates led to a slowdown in mortgage prepayments, which caused maturities to extend and the prices of these securities to fall.
Interest rate management weighed on relative results. The portfolio’s average duration profile, which was longer than that of the benchmark, detracted as U.S. Treasury yields rose broadly across the yield curve. (Duration measures a bond’s or a bond fund’s sensitivity to changes in interest rates.)

In addition, while we are primarily a cash bond manager, we employ the limited use of derivatives in our strategy for hedging purposes. Derivatives may include futures and options, as well as credit default and interest rate swaps. During the reporting period, our use of derivatives, particularly Treasury futures, contributed to absolute performance.
How is the fund positioned?
The fund remained defensively positioned in a rising yield environment, with duration remaining near or below the low end of the fund’s 0.5- to 1.0-year target range. The fund's credit risk exposure increased and ended the period around the midpoint of its typical range as we added investment-grade corporate bonds that were offering attractive spreads. We maintained our above-average allocation to liquid assets for use during future periods of credit spread widening.
CREDIT QUALITY DIVERSIFICATION
Based on net assets as of 11/30/22.
Sources: Credit ratings for the securities held in the fund are provided by Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s, and Fitch and are converted to the Standard & Poor’s nomenclature. A rating of AAA represents the highest-rated securities, and a rating of D represents the lowest-rated securities. If the rating agencies differ, the highest rating is applied to the security. If a rating is not available, the security is classified as Not Rated. T. Rowe Price uses the rating of the underlying investment vehicle to determine the creditworthiness of credit default swaps. The fund is not rated by any agency. Securities that have not been rated by any rating agency totaled 0.05% of the portfolio at the end of the reporting period.

T. ROWE PRICE ULTRA SHORT-TERM BOND ETF

The portfolio has maintained exposure to a variety of fixed income credit sectors but has gradually shifted away from RMBS in favor of investment-grade corporate bonds and ABS. RMBS will continue to have a position in the fund going forward but will likely play a smaller role than it has historically. Volatility in credit spreads provided opportunities to add corporate bonds at discounted levels, and corporate debt represented nearly 60% of the fund’s holdings as of November 30, 2022. While market stresses have continued, our research team remains confident in the increased resilience of balance sheets and responsible capital allocation decisions from management teams.
What is portfolio management’s outlook?
The U.S. economy has held up remarkably well given multi-decade highs in inflation and the Fed aggressively tightening monetary policy. As we head into 2023, this resilience will be tested as monetary policy becomes even tighter and earnings growth and the job market both likely slow from the levels seen in 2022. This macro backdrop sets up a return to a more normalized market environment in which interest rates and credit spreads could resume their historical relationship of moving in opposite directions. When combined with higher starting yields, the reemergence of this historical relationship would produce an environment more conducive to positive total returns even if the market once again becomes concerned over a potential recession.
While it’s possible that Treasury rates have seen their peak for this economic cycle, it’s unclear how the market will respond to a period of higher-for-longer interest rate policy. This should keep some uncertainty over the future path of interest rates but decidedly less so than earlier this year when rates were much lower than inflation.
In the current environment of heightened volatility, active management can play an even more instrumental part in achieving investor objectives. Our continued goal is to provide high-quality, durable yield and income appropriate for an ultra short-term bond strategy with modest credit and duration risk. Using the breadth and depth of our global research platform, we will look to selectively add to high-conviction positions as volatility creates attractive entry points.

RISK OF BOND INVESTING
The value of the fund’s investments may decrease, sometimes rapidly or unexpectedly, due to factors affecting an issuer held by the fund, particular industries, or the overall securities markets. The prices of, and the income generated by, debt instruments held by the fund may be affected by changes in interest rates. The fund is subject to prepayment risks because the principal on mortgage-backed securities, other asset-backed securities, or any debt instrument with an embedded call option may be prepaid at any time, which could reduce the security’s yield and market value. An issuer of a debt instrument could suffer an adverse change in financial condition that results in a payment default (failure to make scheduled interest or principal payments), rating downgrade, or inability to meet a financial obligation.

T. ROWE PRICE ULTRA SHORT-TERM BOND ETF

FUND EXPENSE EXAMPLE
As a shareholder, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, such as brokerage commissions on purchases and sales, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other fund expenses. The following example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds. The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the most recent six-month period and held for the entire period.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the following table (Actual) provides information about actual account values and expenses based on the fund’s actual returns. You may use the information on this line, together with your account balance, 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 on the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The information on the second line of the table (Hypothetical) is based on hypothetical account values and expenses derived from the fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% per year rate of return before expenses (not the fund’s actual return). You may compare the ongoing costs of investing in the fund with other funds by contrasting this 5% hypothetical example and the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. 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 should also be aware that the expenses shown in the table highlight only your ongoing costs and do not reflect any transaction costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of shares. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. To the extent a fund charges transaction costs, however, the total cost of owning that fund is higher.

     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS    

T. Rowe Price Exchange-Traded Funds, Inc. (the corporation) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 1940 Act). The Ultra Short-Term Bond ETF (the fund) is a diversified, open-end management investment company established by the corporation. The fund incepted on September 28, 2021. The fund seeks a high level of income consistent with low volatility of principal value.
NOTE  1  –   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Preparation
The fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 (ASC 946). The accompanying financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), including, but not limited to, ASC 946. GAAP requires the use of estimates made by management. Management believes that estimates and valuations are appropriate; however, actual results may differ from those estimates, and the valuations reflected in the accompanying financial statements may differ from the value ultimately realized upon sale or maturity.
Investment Transactions, Investment Income, and Distributions
Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date basis. Income and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Realized gains and losses are reported on the identified cost basis. Premiums and discounts on debt securities are amortized for financial reporting purposes. Paydown gains and losses are recorded as an adjustment to interest income.Income tax-related interest and penalties, if incurred, are recorded as income tax expense. Dividends received from other investment companies are reflected as dividend income; capital gain distributions are reflected as realized gain/loss. Dividend income and capital gain distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the asset received. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions, if any, are declared and paid monthly. A capital gain distribution, if any, may also be declared and paid by the fund annually. Dividends and distributions cannot be automatically reinvested in additional shares of the fund.
41


T. ROWE PRICE ULTRA SHORT-TERM BOND ETF

Currency Translation
Assets, including investments, and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar values each day at the prevailing exchange rate, using the mean of the bid and asked prices of such currencies against U.S. dollars as quoted by an outside pricing service. Purchases and sales of securities, income, and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the respective date of such transaction. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on realized and unrealized security gains and losses is not bifurcated from the portion attributable to changes in market prices.
Capital Share Transactions
The fund issues and redeems shares at its net asset value (NAV) only with Authorized Participants and only in large blocks of 25,000 shares (each, a “Creation Unit”). The fund’s NAV per share is computed at the close of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). However, the NAV per share may be calculated at a time other than the normal close of the NYSE if trading on the NYSE is restricted, if the NYSE closes earlier, or as may be permitted by the SEC. Individual fund shares may not be purchased or redeemed directly with the fund. An Authorized Participant may purchase or redeem a Creation Unit of the fund each business day that the fund is open in exchange for the delivery of a designated portfolio of in-kind securities and/or cash. When purchasing or redeeming Creation Units, Authorized Participants are also required to pay a fixed and/or variable purchase or redemption transaction fee as well as any applicable additional variable charge to defray the transaction cost to a fund.
Individual fund shares may be purchased and sold only on a national securities exchange through brokers. Shares are listed for trading on NYSE Arca, Inc. (NYSE Arca) and because the shares will trade at market prices rather than NAV, shares may trade at prices greater than NAV (at a premium), at NAV, or less than NAV (at a discount). The fund’s shares are ordinarily valued as of the close of regular trading (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on each day that the NYSE Arca is open.
Indemnification
In the normal course of business, the fund may provide indemnification in connection with its officers and directors, service providers, and/or private company investments. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the risk of material loss is currently considered to be remote.

T. ROWE PRICE ULTRA SHORT-TERM BOND ETF

NOTE  2  –   VALUATION
Security Valuation
The fund’s financial instruments are valued at the close of the NYSE and are reported at fair value, which GAAP defines as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fund's Board of Directors (the Board) has designated T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. as the fund's valuation designee (Valuation Designee). Subject to oversight by the Board, the Valuation Designee performs the following functions in performing fair value determinations: assesses and manages valuation risks; establishes and applies fair value methodologies; tests fair value methodologies; and evaluates pricing vendors and pricing agents. The duties and responsibilities of the Valuation Designee are performed by its Valuation Committee. The Valuation Designee provides periodic reporting to the Board on valuation matters.
Various valuation techniques and inputs are used to determine the fair value of financial instruments. GAAP establishes the following fair value hierarchy that categorizes the inputs used to measure fair value:
Level 1  –  quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial instruments that the fund can access at the reporting date
Level 2  –  inputs other than Level 1 quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly (including, but not limited to, quoted prices for similar financial instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar financial instruments in inactive markets, interest rates and yield curves, implied volatilities, and credit spreads)
Level 3  –  unobservable inputs (including the Valuation Designee’s assumptions in determining fair value)
Observable inputs are developed using market data, such as publicly available information about actual events or transactions, and reflect the assumptions that market participants would use to price the financial instrument. Unobservable inputs are those for which market data are not available and are developed using the best information available about the assumptions that market participants would use to price the financial instrument. GAAP requires valuation techniques to maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. When multiple inputs are used to derive fair value, the financial instrument is assigned to the level within the fair value hierarchy based
43


T. ROWE PRICE ULTRA SHORT-TERM BOND ETF

on the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value of the financial instrument. Input levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with financial instruments at that level but rather the degree of judgment used in determining those values.
Valuation Techniques
Debt securities generally are traded in the over-the-counter (OTC) market and are valued at prices furnished by independent pricing services or broker dealers who make markets in such securities. When valuing securities, the independent pricing services consider the yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, and type, as well as prices quoted by dealers who make markets in such securities.
Investments in mutual funds are valued at the mutual fund’s closing NAV per share on the day of valuation. Swaps are valued at prices furnished by an independent pricing service or independent swap dealers. Forward currency exchange contracts are valued using the prevailing forward exchange rate. Futures contracts are valued at closing settlement prices. Assets and liabilities other than financial instruments, including short-term receivables and payables, are carried at cost, or estimated realizable value, if less, which approximates fair value.
Investments for which market quotations are not readily available or deemed unreliable are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Valuation Designee. The Valuation Designee has adopted methodologies for determining the fair value of investments for which market quotations are not readily available or deemed unreliable, including the use of other pricing sources. Factors used in determining fair value vary by type of investment and may include market or investment specific considerations. The Valuation Designee typically will afford greatest weight to actual prices in arm’s length transactions, to the extent they represent orderly transactions between market participants, transaction information can be reliably obtained, and prices are deemed representative of fair value. However, the Valuation Designee may also consider other valuation methods such as market-based valuation multiples; a discount or premium from market value of a similar, freely traded security of the same issuer; discounted cash flows; yield to maturity; or some combination. Fair value determinations are reviewed on a regular basis. Because any fair value determination involves a significant amount of judgment, there is a degree of subjectivity inherent in such pricing decisions. Fair value prices determined by the Valuation Designee could differ from those of other market participants, and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security may be materially different from the value that could be realized upon the sale of that security.

As defined by GAAP, a derivative is a financial instrument whose value is derived from an underlying security price, foreign exchange rate, interest rate, index of prices or rates, or other variable; it requires little or no initial investment and permits or requires net settlement. The fund invests in derivatives only if the expected risks and rewards are consistent with its investment objectives, policies, and overall risk profile, as described in its prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. The fund may use derivatives for a variety of purposes, and may use them to establish both long and short positions within the fund’s portfolio. Potential uses include to hedge against declines in principal value, increase yield, invest in an asset with greater efficiency and at a lower cost than is possible through direct investment, to enhance return, or to adjust portfolio

duration and credit exposure. The risks associated with the use of derivatives are different from, and potentially much greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in the instruments on which the derivatives are based.
The fund values its derivatives at fair value and recognizes changes in fair value currently in its results of operations. Accordingly, the fund does not follow hedge accounting, even for derivatives employed as economic hedges. Generally, the fund accounts for its derivatives on a gross basis. It does not offset the fair value of derivative liabilities against the fair value of derivative assets on its financial statements, nor does it offset the fair value of derivative instruments against the right to reclaim or obligation to return collateral. The following table summarizes the fair value of the fund’s derivative instruments held as of November 30, 2022, and the related location on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities, presented by primary underlying risk exposure:

Counterparty Risk and Collateral
The fund invests in derivatives in various markets, which expose it to differing levels of counterparty risk. Counterparty risk on exchange-traded and centrally cleared derivative contracts, such as futures, exchange-traded options, and centrally cleared swaps, is minimal because the clearinghouse provides protection against counterparty defaults. For futures and centrally cleared swaps, the fund is required to deposit collateral in an amount specified by the clearinghouse and the clearing firm (margin requirement), and the margin requirement must be maintained over the life of the contract. Each clearinghouse and clearing firm, in its sole discretion, may adjust the margin requirements applicable to the fund.
Derivatives, such as bilateral swaps, forward currency exchange contracts, and OTC options, that are transacted and settle directly with a counterparty (bilateral derivatives) may expose the fund to greater counterparty risk. To mitigate this risk, the fund has entered into master netting arrangements (MNAs) with certain counterparties that permit net settlement under specified conditions and, for certain counterparties, also require the exchange of collateral to cover mark-to-market exposure. MNAs may be in the form of International Swaps and Derivatives Association master agreements (ISDAs) or foreign exchange letter agreements (FX letters).
47


T. ROWE PRICE ULTRA SHORT-TERM BOND ETF

MNAs provide the ability to offset amounts the fund owes a counterparty against amounts the counterparty owes the fund (net settlement). Both ISDAs and FX letters generally allow termination of transactions and net settlement upon the occurrence of contractually specified events, such as failure to pay or bankruptcy. In addition, ISDAs specify other events, the occurrence of which would allow one of the parties to terminate. For example, a downgrade in credit rating of a counterparty below a specified rating would allow the fund to terminate, while a decline in the fund’s net assets of more than a specified percentage would allow the counterparty to terminate. Upon termination, all transactions with that counterparty would be liquidated and a net termination amount settled. ISDAs typically include collateral agreements whereas FX letters do not. Collateral requirements are determined daily based on the net aggregate unrealized gain or loss on all bilateral derivatives with a counterparty, subject to minimum transfer amounts that typically range from $100,000 to $250,000. Any additional collateral required due to changes in security values is typically transferred the next business day.
Collateral may be in the form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S. government or related agencies, although other securities may be used depending on the terms outlined in the applicable MNA. Cash posted by the fund is reflected as cash deposits in the accompanying financial statements and generally is restricted from withdrawal by the fund; securities posted by the fund are so noted in the accompanying Portfolio of Investments; both remain in the fund’s assets. Collateral pledged by counterparties is not included in the fund’s assets because the fund does not obtain effective control over those assets. For bilateral derivatives, collateral posted or received by the fund is held in a segregated account at the fund’s custodian. While typically not sold in the same manner as equity or fixed income securities, exchange-traded or centrally cleared derivatives may be closed out only on the exchange or clearinghouse where the contracts were cleared, and OTC and bilateral derivatives may be unwound with counterparties or transactions assigned to other counterparties to allow the fund to exit the transaction. This ability is subject to the liquidity of underlying positions. As of November 30, 2022, no collateral was pledged by either the fund or counterparties for bilateral derivatives. As of November 30, 2022, securities valued at $296,000 had been posted by the fund for exchange-traded and/or centrally cleared derivatives.
Forward Currency Exchange Contracts
The fund is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. It may use forward currency exchange contracts (forwards) primarily to protect its non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities from adverse currency movements and/or to increase exposure to a particular foreign currency, to shift the fund's foreign currency exposure from one country to another, or to enhance the fund's return. A forward involves an obligation to purchase or sell a fixed amount of a specific currency on a future date at a price set at the time of the contract. Although certain forwards may be
48


T. ROWE PRICE ULTRA SHORT-TERM BOND ETF

settled by exchanging only the net gain or loss on the contract, most forwards are settled with the exchange of the underlying currencies in accordance with the specified terms. Forwards are valued at the unrealized gain or loss on the contract, which reflects the net amount the fund either is entitled to receive or obligated to deliver, as measured by the difference between the forward exchange rates at the date of entry into the contract and the forward rates at the reporting date. Appreciated forwards are reflected as assets and depreciated forwards are reflected as liabilities on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Risks related to the use of forwards include the possible failure of counterparties to meet the terms of the agreements; that anticipated currency movements will not occur, thereby reducing the fund’s total return; and the potential for losses in excess of the fund’s initial investment. During the six months ended November 30, 2022, the volume of the fund’s activity in forwards, based on underlying notional amounts, was generally less than 1% of net assets.
Futures Contracts
The fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and uses futures contracts to help manage such risk. The fund may enter into futures contracts to manage exposure to interest rate and yield curve movements, security prices, foreign currencies, credit quality, and mortgage prepayments; as an efficient means of adjusting exposure to all or part of a target market; to enhance income; as a cash management tool; or to adjust portfolio duration and credit exposure. A futures contract provides for the future sale by one party and purchase by another of a specified amount of a specific underlying financial instrument at an agreed-upon price, date, time, and place. The fund currently invests only in exchange-traded futures, which generally are standardized as to maturity date, underlying financial instrument, and other contract terms. Payments are made or received by the fund each day to settle daily fluctuations in the value of the contract (variation margin), which reflect changes in the value of the underlying financial instrument. Variation margin is recorded as unrealized gain or loss until the contract is closed. The value of a futures contract included in net assets is the amount of unsettled variation margin; net variation margin receivable is reflected as an asset and net variation margin payable is reflected as a liability on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Risks related to the use of futures contracts include possible illiquidity of the futures markets, contract prices that can be highly volatile and imperfectly correlated to movements in hedged security values and/or interest rates, and potential losses in excess of the fund’s initial investment. During the six months ended November 30, 2022, the volume of the fund’s activity in futures, based on underlying notional amounts, was generally between 16% and 19% of net assets.
49


T. ROWE PRICE ULTRA SHORT-TERM BOND ETF

Swaps
The fund is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives and uses swap contracts to help manage such risk. The fund may use swaps in an effort to manage both long and short exposure to changes in interest rates, inflation rates, and credit quality; to adjust overall exposure to certain markets; to enhance total return or protect the value of portfolio securities; to serve as a cash management tool; or to adjust portfolio duration and credit exposure. Swap agreements can be settled either directly with the counterparty (bilateral swap) or through a central clearinghouse (centrally cleared swap). Fluctuations in the fair value of a contract are reflected in unrealized gain or loss and are reclassified to realized gain or loss upon contract termination or cash settlement. Net periodic receipts or payments required by a contract increase or decrease, respectively, the value of the contract until the contractual payment date, at which time such amounts are reclassified from unrealized to realized gain or loss. For bilateral swaps, cash payments are made or received by the fund on a periodic basis in accordance with contract terms; unrealized gain on contracts and premiums paid are reflected as assets and unrealized loss on contracts and premiums received are reflected as liabilities on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For bilateral swaps, premiums paid or received are amortized over the life of the swap and are recognized as realized gain or loss in the Statement of Operations. For centrally cleared swaps, payments are made or received by the fund each day to settle the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract (variation margin). Accordingly, the value of a centrally cleared swap included in net assets is the unsettled variation margin; net variation margin receivable is reflected as an asset and net variation margin payable is reflected as a liability on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Credit default swaps are agreements where one party (the protection buyer) agrees to make periodic payments to another party (the protection seller) in exchange for protection against specified credit events, such as certain defaults and bankruptcies related to an underlying credit instrument, or issuer or index of such instruments. Upon occurrence of a specified credit event, the protection seller is required to pay the buyer the difference between the notional amount of the swap and the value of the underlying credit, either in the form of a net cash settlement or by paying the gross notional amount and accepting delivery of the relevant underlying credit. For credit default swaps where the underlying credit is an index, a specified credit event may affect all or individual underlying securities included in the index and will be settled based upon the relative weighting of the affected underlying security(ies) within the index. Generally, the payment risk for the seller of protection is inversely related to the current market price or credit rating of the underlying credit or the market value of the contract relative to the notional amount, which are indicators of the markets’ valuation of credit quality. As of November 30, 2022, the notional amount of protection sold by the fund totaled $1,380,000 (2.7% of net assets), which reflects the maximum potential amount the fund could be required to pay under
50


T. ROWE PRICE ULTRA SHORT-TERM BOND ETF

such contracts. Risks related to the use of credit default swaps include the possible inability of the fund to accurately assess the current and future creditworthiness of underlying issuers, the possible failure of a counterparty to perform in accordance with the terms of the swap agreements, potential government regulation that could adversely affect the fund’s swap investments, and potential losses in excess of the fund’s initial investment.
During the six months ended November 30, 2022, the volume of the fund’s activity in swaps, based on underlying notional amounts, was generally between 2% and 3% of net assets.
NOTE  4  –   OTHER INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS
Consistent with its investment objective, the fund engages in the following practices to manage exposure to certain risks and/or to enhance performance. The investment objective, policies, program, and risk factors of the fund are described more fully in the fund’s prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.
Restricted Securities
The fund invests in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. Prompt sale of such securities at an acceptable price may be difficult and may involve substantial delays and additional costs.
Collateralized Loan Obligations
The fund invests in collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) which are entities backed by a diversified pool of syndicated bank loans. The cash flows of the CLO can be split into multiple segments, called “tranches” or “classes”, which will vary in risk profile and yield. The riskiest segments, which are the subordinate or “equity” tranches, bear the greatest risk of loss from defaults in the underlying assets of the CLO and serve to protect the other, more senior, tranches. Senior tranches will typically have higher credit ratings and lower yields than the securities underlying the CLO. Despite the protection from the more junior tranches, senior tranches can experience substantial losses.
Mortgage-Backed Securities
The fund invests in mortgage-backed securities (MBS or pass-through certificates) that represent an interest in a pool of specific underlying mortgage loans and entitle the fund to the periodic payments of principal and interest from those mortgages. MBS may be issued by government agencies or corporations, or private issuers. Most MBS issued by government agencies are guaranteed; however, the degree of protection differs based on
51


T. ROWE PRICE ULTRA SHORT-TERM BOND ETF

the issuer. MBS are sensitive to changes in economic conditions that affect the rate of prepayments and defaults on the underlying mortgages; accordingly, the value, income, and related cash flows from MBS may be more volatile than other debt instruments.
LIBOR Transition
The fund may invest in instruments that are tied to reference rates, including the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). Over the course of the last several years, global regulators have indicated an intent to phase out the use of LIBOR and similar interbank offered rates (IBOR).While publication for most LIBOR currencies and lesser-used USD LIBOR settings ceased immediately after December 31, 2021, remaining USD LIBOR settings will continue to be published until June 30, 2023. There remains uncertainty regarding the future utilization of LIBOR and the nature of any replacement rate. Any potential effects of the transition away from LIBOR on the fund, or on certain instruments in which the fund invests, cannot yet be determined. The transition process may result in, among other things, an increase in volatility or illiquidity of markets for instruments that currently rely on LIBOR, a reduction in the value of certain instruments held by the fund, or a reduction in the effectiveness of related fund transactions such as hedges. Any such effects could have an adverse impact on the fund’s performance.
Other
Purchases and sales of portfolio securities excluding in-kind transactions and short-term and U.S. government securities aggregated $20,756,000 and $5,648,000, respectively, for the six months ended November 30, 2022. Purchases and sales of U.S. government securities, excluding in-kind transactions and short-term securities, aggregated $4,160,000 and $5,241,000, respectively, for the six months ended November 30, 2022.
NOTE  5  –   FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
No provision for federal income taxes is required since the fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code and distribute to shareholders all of its taxable income and gains. Distributions determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations may differ in amount or character from net investment income and realized gains for financial reporting purposes. Financial reporting records are adjusted for permanent book/tax differences to reflect tax character but are not adjusted for temporary differences. The amount and character of tax-basis distributions and composition of net assets are finalized at fiscal year-end; accordingly, tax-basis balances have not been determined as of the date of this report.
52


T. ROWE PRICE ULTRA SHORT-TERM BOND ETF

At November 30, 2022, the cost of investments (including derivatives, if any) for federal income tax purposes was $51,695,000. Net unrealized loss aggregated $1,153,000 at period end, of which $25,000 related to appreciated investments and $1,178,000 related to depreciated investments.
NOTE  6  –   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The fund is managed by T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (Price Associates), a wholly owned subsidiary of T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. (Price Group). Price Associates has entered into a sub-advisory agreement(s) with one or more of its wholly owned subsidiaries, to provide investment advisory services to the fund.The investment management and administrative agreement between the fund and Price Associates provides for an all-inclusive annual fee equal to 0.17% of the fund’s average daily net assets. The fee is computed daily and paid monthly. The all-inclusive fee covers investment management services and ordinary, recurring operating expenses, but does not cover interest and borrowing expenses; taxes; brokerage commissions and other transaction costs; fund proxy expenses; and nonrecurring and extraordinary expenses.
The fund may invest its cash reserves in certain open-end management investment companies managed by Price Associates and considered affiliates of the fund: the T. Rowe Price Government Reserve Fund or the T. Rowe Price Treasury Reserve Fund, organized as money market funds (together, the Price Reserve Funds). The Price Reserve Funds are offered as short-term investment options to mutual funds, trusts, and other accounts managed by Price Associates or its affiliates and are not available for direct purchase by members of the public.
As of November 30, 2022, T. Rowe Price Group, Inc., or its wholly owned subsidiaries, owned 400,000 shares of the fund, representing 38% of the fund’s net assets.
The fund may participate in securities purchase and sale transactions with other funds or accounts advised by Price Associates (cross trades), in accordance with procedures adopted by the fund’s Board and Securities and Exchange Commission rules, which require, among other things, that such purchase and sale cross trades be effected at the independent current market price of the security. During the six months ended November 30, 2022, the fund had no purchases or sales cross trades with other funds or accounts advised by Price Associates.

NOTE  7  –   OTHER MATTERS
Unpredictable events such as environmental or natural disasters, war, terrorism, pandemics, outbreaks of infectious diseases, and similar public health threats may significantly affect the economy and the markets and issuers in which a fund invests. Certain events may cause instability across global markets, including reduced liquidity and disruptions in trading markets, while some events may affect certain geographic regions, countries, sectors, and industries more significantly than others, and exacerbate other pre-existing political, social, and economic risks.
Since 2020, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) has resulted in disruptions to global business activity and caused significant volatility and declines in global financial markets.
In February 2022, Russian forces entered Ukraine and commenced an armed conflict leading to economic sanctions being imposed on Russia and certain of its citizens, creating impacts on Russian-related stocks and debt and greater volatility in global markets.
These are recent examples of global events which may have a negative impact on the values of certain portfolio holdings or the fund’s overall performance. Management is actively monitoring the risks and financial impacts arising from these events.

APPROVAL OF SUBADVISORY AGREEMENT
At a meeting held on July 25, 2022 (Meeting), the fund’s Board of Directors (Board) considered the initial approval of an investment subadvisory agreement (Subadvisory Contract) that T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (Adviser), entered into with T. Rowe Price International Ltd (Subadviser) on behalf of the fund. The Subadvisory Contract authorizes the Subadviser to have investment discretion with respect to all or a portion of the fund’s portfolio. The Board noted that the Subadvisory Contract will be substantially similar to other subadvisory agreements that are in place for other T. Rowe Price funds that delegate investment management responsibilities to affiliated investment advisers and that the Adviser will retain oversight responsibilities with respect to the fund. The Board also noted that the new subadvisory arrangement will not change the total advisory fees paid by the fund. However, under the Subadvisory Contract, the Adviser may pay the Subadviser up to 60% of the advisory fees that the Adviser receives from the fund.
At the Meeting, the Board reviewed materials relevant to its consideration of the proposed Subadvisory Contract. Each year, the Board considers the continuation of the investment management agreement (Advisory Contract) between the fund and the Adviser. The fund’s Advisory Contract was most recently approved by the Board at a meeting held on
March 7–8, 2022 (March Meeting). A discussion of the basis for the Board’s approval of the Advisory Contract is included in the fund’s annual shareholder report for the period ended May 31, 2022. The factors considered by the Board at the Meeting in connection with approval of the proposed Subadvisory Contract were substantially similar to the factors considered at the March Meeting in connection with the approval to continue the Advisory Contract. The independent directors were assisted in their evaluation of the Subadvisory Contract by independent legal counsel from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately.
Following discussion at the Meeting, the Board, including all of the fund’s independent directors, approved the Subadvisory Contract between the Adviser and Subadviser on behalf of the fund. No single factor was considered in isolation or to be determinative to the decision. Rather, the Board concluded, in light of a weighting and balancing of all factors considered, that it was in the best interests of the fund and its shareholders for the Board to approve the Subadvisory Contract effective September 1, 2022.

T. ROWE PRICE ULTRA SHORT-TERM BOND ETF

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
In accordance with Rule 22e-4 (Liquidity Rule) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the fund has established a liquidity risk management program (Liquidity Program) reasonably designed to assess and manage the fund’s liquidity risk, which generally represents the risk that the fund would not be able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution of remaining investors’ interests in the fund. The fund’s Board of Directors (Board) has appointed the fund’s investment adviser, T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. (Adviser), as the administrator of the Liquidity Program. As administrator, the Adviser is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the Liquidity Program and, among other things, is responsible for assessing, managing, and reviewing with the Board at least annually the liquidity risk of each T. Rowe Price fund. The Adviser has delegated oversight of the Liquidity Program to a Liquidity Risk Committee (LRC), which is a cross-functional committee composed of personnel from multiple departments within the Adviser.
The Liquidity Program’s principal objectives include supporting the T. Rowe Price funds’ compliance with limits on investments in illiquid assets and mitigating the risk that the fund will be unable to timely meet its redemption obligations. The Liquidity Program also includes a number of elements that support the management and assessment of liquidity risk, including an annual assessment of factors that influence the fund’s liquidity and the periodic classification and reclassification of a fund’s investments into categories that reflect the LRC’s assessment of their relative liquidity under current market conditions. Under the Liquidity Program, every investment held by the fund is classified at least monthly into one of four liquidity categories based on estimations of the investment’s ability to be sold during designated time frames in current market conditions without significantly changing the investment’s market value.
As required by the Liquidity Rule, at a meeting held on July 25, 2022, the Board was presented with an annual assessment prepared by the LRC, on behalf of the Adviser, that addressed the operation of the Liquidity Program and assessed its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation, including any material changes to the Liquidity Program and the determination of each fund’s Highly Liquid Investment Minimum (HLIM). The annual assessment included consideration of the following factors, as applicable: the fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, including whether the investment strategy is appropriate for an open-end fund, the extent to which the strategy involves a relatively concentrated portfolio or large positions in particular issuers, and the use of borrowings for investment purposes and derivatives; short-term and long-term cash flow projections covering both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; and holdings of cash and cash equivalents, as well as available borrowing arrangements.
For the fund and other T. Rowe Price funds, the annual assessment incorporated a report related to a fund’s holdings, shareholder and portfolio concentration, any borrowings during the period, cash flow projections, and other relevant data for the period of April 1, 2021, through March 31, 2022. The report described the methodology for classifying a fund’s investments (including any derivative transactions) into one of four liquidity
57


T. ROWE PRICE ULTRA SHORT-TERM BOND ETF

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (continued)
categories, as well as the percentage of a fund’s investments assigned to each category. It also explained the methodology for establishing a fund’s HLIM and noted that the LRC reviews the HLIM assigned to each fund no less frequently than annually.
During the period covered by the annual assessment, the LRC has concluded, and reported to the Board, that the Liquidity Program continues to operate adequately and effectively and is reasonably designed to assess and manage the fund’s liquidity risk.
