Victory Funds Letter to Shareholders
(Unaudited)

Dear Shareholder,

Looking back over our most recent annual reporting period offers us a stark reminder that markets go up and down, and that investor sentiment can shift quickly.

Although most of 2021 was constructive for financial markets, the script flipped as we entered the new calendar year. More recently, investors have been focused on a host of worries. Inflation data has been running hotter than expected. The U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") has embarked on a new rate-hike cycle and a terrible war is raging in Eastern Europe. All these issues, among other factors, have ratcheted up market volatility in both stock and bond markets. Many broad-market stock indices have pulled back substantially during the first half of 2022 and even entered "bear market" territory, which is typically considered a 20% pullback from the most recent highs. Meanwhile, fixed income investors are also dealing with elevated volatility, and wide swaths of the bond market have struggled in the face of rising interest rates.

Throughout the ups and downs of the past annual reporting period, there have been interesting differences playing out within the broader market. In general, large-cap stocks outperformed smaller-capitalization companies for the full annual reporting period. Meanwhile, growth-oriented styles led value-oriented investments during the earlier part of our annual reporting period, while the reverse was true during the latter segment of the reporting period (as measured by the Russell family of indices). Perhaps this reflects investors' realization and expectations for future higher interest rates and corresponding higher borrowing costs.

There were other notable subplots, too. During much of 2021 we watched crypto assets captivate investors, only to see them fall out of favor as sentiment soured. This year we've seen oil prices surge, which helped fuel gains across the energy landscape while many other sectors lagged. The Energy and Utilities sectors (and yes, Cash) have been the lone bright spots for many investor portfolios. If anything, this underscores the importance of diversification.

Looking at the numbers, we see that the S&P 500? Index, the bell-weather proxy for our domestic stock market, declined by 10.62% for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2022. Over this same annual period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury jumped 1.53%, thanks largely to the Fed's shift toward a less accommodative monetary policy and the first rate hike in three years. At the end of our reporting period, the yield on the 10-Year U.S. Treasury finished at 2.98%.

Given the market environment of the past few months, it's no surprise that investors have become more focused on risk management and downside protection. Remember, our experience managing portfolios through various economic cycles has taught us to remain calm in the face of market turmoil. It is our view that a long-term perspective, a well-diversified portfolio across asset classes and investment types, and a clear understanding of individual risk tolerances are some of the key ingredients for staying the course and progressing on investment goals.

As ever, there will be challenges ahead. The Fed has declared its intent to continue raising rates until the recent elevated inflation readings decline. Labor shortages, ongoing supply chain issues, high energy prices, and the Russia-Ukraine war are among the performance detractors investors continue to navigate. There's even some chatter about a possible recession.

Although we cannot tell you with any certainty what markets will do in the future, we can assure you that the investment professionals at all our independent franchises continually monitor the environment and work hard to position portfolios opportunistically no matter what the markets bring.

On the following pages you will find information relating to your Victory Funds investment. If you have any questions regarding the current market dynamics or your specific portfolio or investment plan, we encourage you to contact your financial advisor. If you invest with us directly, you may call 800-539-3863 or visit our website at www.vcm.com.

From all of us here at Victory Capital, thank you for letting us help you work toward your investment goals.

VictoryShares USAA Core Short-Term Bond ETF

Managers' Commentary

(Unaudited)

What were the market conditions during the reporting period?

As the world attempted to return to normal, coming out of the historical COVID-19 government-imposed lockdowns, the consequences of those lockdowns began to manifest themselves. In particular, global supply chains that functioned smoothly pre-COVID-19 were disrupted in ways that have yet to work themselves out. Generally speaking, the result was demand that rebounded faster than supply could keep up. To make matters worse, apart from the human tragedy itself, Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 added to the supply chain issues, with impacts on the price of oil, natural gas, wheat, and fertilizer, to name but a few. While the general price level fell during COVID-19, when demand fell faster than supply, the reverse is now true. As measured by the Consumer Price Index, the price level skyrocketed to 7% in 2021. During 2022, prices have risen even further, to 8.6% as of the end of May 2022.

These events have taken their toll on the financial markets, with the S&P 500? Index down 10.6% year over year, and 20% year to date; officially "bear market" territory. The bond market did not escape the pain, either. Indeed, the past year has been one of the worst for fixed income markets over the last 50 years, if not all of history. The one-year total return for the period ending June 30, 2022, for the Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond Index was worse than even during the U.S. dollar devaluation period in the late 1970s/early 1980s, down 10.3% year over year and down 10.4% year to date, performance almost as poor as the stock market.

These results were driven primarily by the significant rise in interest rates, as the bond market reacted to the dramatic increases in the price level. While the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") initially believed these price increases to be transitory, the bond market forced them to quickly abandon that thought. What was originally expected to be a gradual increase of 25 basis points ("bps") (a basis point is 1/100th of a percentage point) in the Fed Funds rate morphed into rate hikes that haven't been seen since 1994. The Fed started hiking rates by 25 bps in March, then was forced to higher hikes of 50 bps in May and a whopping 75-bps hike in June.

In addition to the jump in U.S. Treasury rates, bond spreads have widened out as well. Year over year, the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate Index option-adjusted spread rose from 0.80% to 1.55%, an increase of 75 bps. This took its toll on the fixed income market, leaving the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate Index with a one-year negative total return of -14.2%.

Some economists are starting to predict a recession. The recent rise in interest rates is already beginning to dampen demand, particularly for housing, as well as automobiles. Higher gasoline and food prices are also taking their toll, forcing consumers to curtail other purchases. Although the employment situation looks decent with the unemployment rate at 3.6%, that's typically a lagging indicator, and the COVID-19 lockdowns caused havoc in the labor markets, as many businesses still cannot fill all the positions they need. Real Gross Domestic Product decreased -1.6% in the first quarter of 2022, and a decrease in the second quarter would fit the textbook definition of recession, although the consensus estimate is for growth in the second quarter. Recession or no recession, economic activity is likely to slow in the near term as the economy readjusts from the COVID-19 pandemic.

VictoryShares USAA Core Short-Term Bond ETF

Managers' Commentary (continued)

How did VictoryShares USAA Core Short-Term Bond ETF (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?

The Fund returned -3.73% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, underperforming its benchmark, the Bloomberg 1-3 Yr Credit Index (the "Index"), which returned -3.72% for the period.

What strategies did you employ during the reporting period?

The Fund earned a negative total return during the reporting period, driven primarily by the increases in U.S. Treasury rates and credit spreads. Because the Fund's duration is always close to the Index duration, changes in interest rates typically have little effect on the Fund's relative performance. However, the Fund tends to have a more laddered portfolio compared to the Index, which has most of its bonds concentrated in 2-3-year maturities. Since U.S. Treasury rates increased the most in the 1-3-year maturities, the Fund benefited relative to the Index, as rates at both the short end (< 1 year) and longer end (4-7 years) did not increase as much.

The Fund also underperformed the Index due to allocation and selection. Reflecting the portfolio's diversification, the Fund's results were spread among a variety of sectors. Within corporate bonds, the Fund benefited from investments in the Banking, Technology, Utilities, and Pharmaceuticals sectors. Taxable municipal bonds and cash also added to underperformance. Certain other market segments weighed on relative performance. These included Asset-Backed Securities, Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities, Finance Companies, Airlines, and Wireless. We continued to adhere to our disciplined investment approach, which is to maintain an attractive yield with an acceptable level of risk. From a credit risk perspective, our higher exposure to BBB and high yield bonds caused underperformance as credit spreads rose, while higher-rated investment-grade bonds aided performance.

To identify attractive investment opportunities, we worked with our in-house team of credit analysts, continuing to build the portfolio bond by bond, through fundamental bottom-up analysis. We seek ideas where our fundamental understanding of the credit risk is different than the market. This approach, we believe, will generate total returns that may outperform our peers over the long run, with less volatility. Our credit analysts review all securities considered for purchase and assign their own independent credit rating. They continuously monitor every holding in the Fund. We are committed to building a portfolio diversified among multiple asset classes and across a large number of issuers. To minimize the Fund's exposure to potential surprises, we limit the positions we take in any one issuer.

VictoryShares USAA Core Intermediate-Term Bond ETF

Managers' Commentary (continued)

How did the VictoryShares USAA Core Intermediate-Term Bond ETF (the "Fund") perform during the reporting period?

The Fund returned -10.35% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2022, underperforming the Index, which returned -10.29% for the period,

What strategies did you employ during the reporting period?

The negative total returns for both the Fund and the Index were primarily driven by increases in interest rates during the second half of the reporting period. While bond credit spreads held firm during the summer and fall of 2021, spreads began to widen into the end of 2021. This spread widening precipitately increased following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, combined with persistent global inflation pressures. Higher inflation also led to a more restrictive monetary policy by the U.S. Federal Reserve and greater uncertainty regarding economic growth. Global financial markets performed poorly as the macroeconomic and geopolitical environment deteriorated. The Fund, which has a higher allocation to BBB-rated corporate credit relative to the Index, was a primary driver of underperformance. Offsetting this underperformance was the Fund's large underweight to Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities, which performed poorly as interest rates increased.

In keeping with our investment process, we continued to build the Fund bond by bond. We seek ideas where our fundamental understanding of the credit risk is different than that of the market, working with our team of analysts to evaluate each potential investment individually. During the reporting period, we found select attractive opportunities as we continued to seek relative values across the fixed income market.

Our analysts continued to analyze and monitor every holding in the Fund. We are committed to building a portfolio diversified among multiple asset classes and across a large number of issuers. To minimize the Fund's exposure to potential surprises, we limit the positions we take in any one issuer.

Victory Portfolios II

  Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 2022
 

1. Organization:

Victory Portfolios II (the "Trust") is organized as a Delaware statutory trust and the Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"), as an open-end investment company. The Trust is comprised of 25 funds, 23 of which are Exchange-Traded Funds ("ETFs"), and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares, which are units of beneficial interest with no par value.

The accompanying financial statements are those of the following two Funds (collectively, the "Funds" and individually, a "Fund"). Each Fund is classified as diversified under the 1940 Act.

Funds (Short Name)

 

VictoryShares USAA Core Short-Term Bond ETF

Under the Trust's organizational documents, its officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with their vendors and others that provide for general indemnifications. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds. However, based on experience, the Funds expect that risk of loss to be remote.

2. Significant Accounting Policies:

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Funds follow the specialized accounting and reporting requirements under GAAP that are applicable to investment companies under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.

Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the "Exchange"). The Funds issue and redeem shares at net asset value ("NAV") only in aggregations of 50,000 shares, (each a "Creation Unit"). Creation Units are issued and redeemed in exchange for a basket of securities included in the respective Fund's Index (the "Deposit Securities"), and/or with the deposit of a specified cash payment (the "Cash Component"), plus a transaction fee. Shares trade on the Exchange at market prices that may be below, at, or above NAV. Shares of a Fund may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions ("Authorized Participants"). An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the distributor. Only Authorized Participants may purchase or redeem the shares directly from a Fund. In addition, shares may be issued in advance of receipt of Deposit Securities subject to various conditions, including a requirement to maintain on deposit with the Trust cash equal to up to 105% of the market value of the missing Deposit Securities. In each instance of such cash creations or redemptions, transaction fees may be imposed and may be higher than the transaction fees associated with in-kind creations or redemptions.

Each Fund may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, with no par value. Shares of each Fund have equal rights and privileges. A purchase (i.e., creation) transaction fee is imposed for the transfer and other transactional costs associated with the purchase of Creation Units. In addition, a variable fee may be charged on all cash transactions or substitutes for Creation Units. Variable fees received by each Fund are displayed in the Capital Transactions section of the Statements of Changes in Net Assets as an increase to Capital.

Investment Valuation:

The Funds record investments at fair value. Fair value is defined 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 valuation techniques described below maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value. The inputs used for valuing the Funds' investments are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

? Level 1 ? quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

? Level 2 ? other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities or interest rates applicable to those securities, etc.)

? Level 3 ? significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds' own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The inputs or methodologies used for valuation techniques are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with entering into those investments.

Victory Capital Management Inc. ("VCM" or the "Adviser") has established the Pricing and Liquidity Committee (the "Committee"), and subject to the Trust's Board of Trustees' (the "Board") oversight, the Committee administers and oversees the Funds' valuation policies and procedures, which are approved by the Board.

Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their NAV. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Debt securities are valued each business day by a pricing service approved by the Board. The approved pricing service uses the evaluated bid or the last sale price to value securities. Debt obligations maturing within 60 days may be valued at amortized cost, provided that the amortized cost represents the fair value of such securities. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

In the event that price quotations or valuations are not readily available, investments are valued at fair value in accordance with procedures established by and under the general supervision and responsibility of the Board. These valuations are typically categorized as Level 2 or Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, based on the observability of inputs used to determine the fair value. The effect of fair value pricing is that securities may not be priced on the basis of quotations from the primary market in which they are traded and the actual price realized from the sale of a security may differ materially from the fair value price. Valuing these securities at fair value is intended to cause the Fund's NAV to be more reliable than it otherwise would be.

A summary of the valuations as of June 30, 2022, based upon the three levels defined above, is included in the table below while the breakdown, by category, of investments is disclosed on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments:

For the year ended June 30, 2022, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Securities Purchased on a Delayed-Delivery or When-Issued Basis:

The Funds may purchase securities on a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a delayed-delivery or when-issued basis, or for delayed draws on loans can take place a month or more after the trade date. At the time a Fund makes the commitment to purchase a security on a when-issued basis, the Fund records the transaction and reflects the value of the security in determining NAV. No interest accrues to the Fund until the transaction settles and payment takes place. A segregated account is established and the Fund maintains cash and/or marketable securities at least equal in value to commitments for when-issued securities. If a Fund owns when-issued securities, these values are included in Payables for Investments purchased on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities and the segregated assets are identified on the Schedules of Portfolio Investments.

Municipal Obligations:

The values of municipal obligations can fluctuate and may be affected by adverse tax, legislative, or political changes, and by financial developments affecting municipal issuers. Payment of municipal obligations may depend on a relatively limited source of revenue, resulting in greater credit risk. Future changes in federal tax laws or the activity of an issuer may adversely affect the tax-exempt status of municipal obligations.

Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities:

The values of some mortgage-related or asset-backed securities may be particularly sensitive to changes in prevailing interest rates. Early repayment of principal on some mortgage-related securities may expose the Fund to a lower rate of return upon reinvestment of principal. The values of mortgage- and asset-backed securities depend in part on the credit quality and adequacy of the underlying assets or collateral and may fluctuate in response to the market's perception of these factors as well as current and future repayment rates. Some mortgage-backed securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government (e.g., mortgage-backed securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association, commonly known as "Ginnie Mae"), while other mortgage-backed securities (e.g., mortgage-backed securities issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, commonly known as "Fannie Mae" and "Freddie Mac," respectively), are backed only by the credit of the government entity issuing them. In addition, some mortgage-backed securities

Victory Portfolios II

are issued by private entities and, as such, are not guaranteed by the U.S. government or any agency or instrumentality of the U.S. government.

Below-Investment-Grade Securities:

Certain Funds may invest in below-investment-grade securities (i.e., lower-quality, "junk" debt), which are subject to various risks. Lower-quality debt is considered to be speculative because it is less certain that the issuer will be able to pay interest or repay the principal than in the case of investment-grade debt. These securities can involve a substantially greater risk of default than higher-rated securities, and their values can decline significantly over short periods of time. Lower-quality debt securities tend to be more sensitive to adverse news about their issuers, the market and the economy in general, than higher-quality debt securities. The market for these securities can be less liquid, especially during periods of recession or general market decline.

Collateralized Loan Obligations ("CLOs"):

CLOs are securities issued by entities that are collateralized by a pool of loans. CLOs are issued in multiple classes (tranches) and can be equity or debt with specific adjustable or fixed interest rates and varying maturities. The cash flow from the underlying loans is used to pay off each tranche separately within the debt, or senior tranches. Equity, or subordinated tranches, typically are not paid a cash flow but do offer ownership in the CLO itself in the event of a sale.

Loans:

Floating rate loans in which a Fund invests are primarily "senior" loans. Senior floating rate loans typically hold a senior position in the capital structures of the borrower, are typically secured by specific collateral, and have a claim on the assets and/or stock of the borrower that is senior to that held by subordinated debtholders and stockholders of the borrower. While these protections may reduce risk, these investments still present significant credit risk. A significant portion of a Fund's floating rate investments may be issued in connection with highly leveraged transactions such as leveraged buyouts, leveraged recapitalization loans, and other types of acquisition financing. Obligations in these types of transactions are subject to greater credit risk (including default and bankruptcy) than many other investments and may be, or become, illiquid. See the note below regarding below investment grade securities.

The Funds may purchase second-lien loans (secured loans with a claim on collateral subordinate to a senior lender's claim on such collateral), fixed rate loans, unsecured loans, and other debt obligations.

Transactions in loans often settle on a delayed basis, and a Fund may not receive the proceeds from the sale of a loan or pay for a loan purchase for a substantial period of time after entering into the transactions.

Investment Companies:

Open-End Funds:

The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end investment companies. These investment companies value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the board of directors of the underlying funds.

Investment Transactions and Related Income:

Changes in holdings of investments are accounted for no later than one business day following the trade date. For financial reporting purposes, however, investment transactions are accounted for on trade date or the last business day of the reporting period. Interest income is determined on the basis of coupon interest accrued using the effective interest method which adjusts, where applicable, the amortization of premiums or accretion of discounts. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend

date. Gains or losses realized on sales of securities are recorded on the identified cost basis. Paydown gains or losses on applicable securities, if any, are recorded as a component of Interest income on the Statements of Operations.

The Funds may receive other income from investments in loan assignments and/or unfunded commitments, including amendment fees, consent fees, and commitment fees. These fees are recorded as income when received. These amounts, if received, are included in Interest income on the Statements of Operations.

Securities Lending:

The Funds, through a Securities Lending Agreement with Citibank, N.A. ("Citibank"), may lend their securities to qualified financial institutions, such as certain broker-dealers and banks, to earn additional income, net of income retained by Citibank. Borrowers are required to initially secure their loans for collateral in the amount of at least 102% of the value of U.S. securities loaned or at least 105% of the value of non-U.S. securities loaned, marked-to-market daily. Any collateral shortfalls associated with increases in the valuation of the securities loaned are generally cured the next business day. The collateral can be received in the form of cash collateral and/or non-cash collateral. Non-cash collateral can include U.S. Government Securities and other securities as permitted by Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") guidelines. The cash collateral is invested in short-term instruments or cash equivalents, primarily open-end investment companies, as noted on the Funds' Schedules of Portfolio Investments. The Funds effectively do not have control of the non-cash collateral and therefore it is not disclosed on the Funds' Schedules of Portfolio Investments. Collateral requirements are determined daily based on the value of the Funds' securities on loan as of the end of the prior business day. During the time portfolio securities are on loan, the borrower will pay the Funds any dividends or interest paid on such securities plus any fee negotiated between the parties to the lending agreement. The Funds also earn a return from the collateral. The Funds pay Citibank various fees in connection with the investment of cash collateral and fees based on the investment income received from securities lending activities. Securities lending income (net of these fees) is disclosed on the Statements of Operations. Loans are terminable upon demand and the borrower must return the loaned securities within the lesser of one standard settlement period or five business days. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, a Fund could experience a delay in recovering its securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return them. In addition, there is a risk that the value of the short-term investments will be less than the amount of cash collateral required to be returned to the borrower.

The Funds' agreement with Citibank does not include master netting provisions. Non-cash collateral received by the Funds may not be sold or repledged, except to satisfy borrower default.

The following table is a summary of the Funds' securities lending transactions as of June 30, 2022.

Federal Income Taxes:

Each Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions available to certain investment companies, as defined in applicable sections of the Internal Revenue Code, and to make distributions of net investment income and net realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is required in the financial statements. The Funds have a tax year end of June 30.

For the year ended June 30, 2022, the Funds did not incur any income tax, interest, or penalties, and have recorded no liability for net unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain tax positions.

Management of the Funds has reviewed tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by all major tax jurisdictions, including federal (i.e., the last four tax years, which includes the current fiscal tax year end). Management believes that there is no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken.

6. Risks:

The Funds may be subject to other risks in addition to these identified risks.

Debt Securities or Bond Risk ? The Funds are subject to the risk that the market value of the bonds in the Funds' portfolios will fluctuate because of changes in interest rates, changes in the supply of and demand for debt securities, and other market factors. Bond prices generally are linked to the prevailing market interest rates. In general, when interest rates rise, bond prices typically fall; conversely, when interest rates fall, bond prices typically rise. The price volatility of a bond also depends on its duration,

 


67


 

Victory Portfolios II

  Notes to Financial Statements ? continued
June 30, 2022
 

which is a measure of a bond's sensitivity to a change in interest rates. Generally, the longer the duration of a bond, the greater is its sensitivity to interest rates. To compensate investors for this higher interest rate risk, bonds with longer durations generally offer higher yields than bonds with shorter durations. Should the U.S. Federal Reserve raise interest rates, the Funds may be subject to risks associated with rising interest rates. The fixed-income securities in the Funds' portfolios also are subject to credit risk, which is the possibility that an issuer of a fixed income security cannot make timely interest and principal payments on its securities or that negative market perceptions of the issuer's ability to make such payments will cause the price of that security to decline. The Funds accept some credit risk as a recognized means to enhance an investor's return.

High-Yield Bond Risk ? Fixed-income securities rated below investment grade, also known as "junk" or high-yield bonds, generally entail greater credit and liquidity risk than investment-grade securities. Their prices also may be more volatile, especially during economic downturns and financial setbacks or liquidity events. The Funds' values could be hurt by price declines due to actual or perceived changes in an issuer's ability to make such payments. These securities are considered by the major rating agencies to be predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer's continuing ability to pay principal and interest, and they carry a greater risk that the issuer of such securities will default on the timely payment of principal and interest. Issuers of securities that are in default or have defaulted may fail to resume principal or interest payments, in which case the Funds may lose their entire investment. The creditworthiness of issuers of these securities may be more complex to analyze than that of issuers of investment-grade debt securities, and the overreliance on credit ratings may present additional risks.

Asset-Backed and Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk ? Mortgage- and asset-backed securities ("MBS" or "ABS," respectively) differ from conventional debt securities because principal is paid back over the life of the security rather than at maturity. MBS and ABS are subject to prepayment or call risk, which is the risk that a borrower's payments may be received earlier than expected due to changes in prepayment rates on underlying loans. As a result, the Funds may reinvest these early payments at lower interest rates, thereby reducing the Fund's income. These securities also are subject to extension risk, which is the risk that the life of the ABS or MBS may be extended due to higher interest rates and lower prepayments. As a result, the value of the securities will decrease. The value of MBS can be impacted by factors affecting the housing market, and MBS also are subject to the risk of high default rates on the mortgages within the mortgage pool. The liquidity of non-agency or privately issued ABS or MBS securities, in particular those that are rated as non-investment grade, may change dramatically over time.

LIBOR Discontinuation Risk ? The London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") discontinuation may adversely affect the financial markets generally and the Funds' operations, finances and investments specifically. LIBOR has been the principal floating-rate benchmark in the financial markets. However, LIBOR has been or will be discontinued as a floating rate benchmark. The date of discontinuation depends on the LIBOR currency and tenor. With limited exceptions, no new LIBOR obligations will be entered into after December 31, 2021. Existing LIBOR obligations have transitioned or will transition to another benchmark, depending on the LIBOR currency and tenor. For some existing LIBOR-based obligations, the contractual consequences of the discontinuation of LIBOR may not be clear.

Non-LIBOR floating-rate obligations, including Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR")-based obligations, may have returns and values that fluctuate more than those of floating-rate debt obligations that are based on LIBOR or other rates. Also, because SOFR and some alternative floating rates are relatively new market indexes, markets for certain non-LIBOR obligations may never develop or may not be liquid. Market terms for non-LIBOR floating rate obligations, such as the spread over the index reflected in interest-rate provisions, may evolve over time, and prices of non-LIBOR floating rate obligations may be different depending on when they are issued and changing views about correct spread levels.

Various SOFR-based rates, including SOFR-based term rates, and various non-SOFR-based rates are expected to develop in response to the discontinuation of U.S. dollar LIBOR, which may create various risks for the Funds and the financial markets more generally. There are non-LIBOR forward-looking

 


68


 

Victory Portfolios II

  Notes to Financial Statements ? continued
June 30, 2022
 

floating rates that are not based on SOFR and that may be considered by participants in the financial markets as LIBOR alternatives. Such rates include AMERIBOR (American Interbank Offered Rate), BSBY (Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index) and BYI (Bank Yield Index). Unlike forward-looking SOFR-based term rates, such rates are intended to reflect a bank credit spread component.

It is not clear how replacement rates for LIBOR ? including SOFR-based rates and non-SOFR-based rates ? will develop and to what extent they will be used. There is no assurance that these replacement rates will be suitable substitutes for LIBOR, and thus the substitution of such rates for LIBOR could have an adverse effect on the Funds and the financial markets more generally. Concerns about market depth and stability could affect the development of non-SOFR-based term rates, and such rates may create various risks, which may or may not be similar to the risks relating to SOFR.

Market Risk ? Overall market risks may affect the value of the Fund. Domestic and international factors such as political events, war, terrorism, trade disputes, inflation rates, interest rate levels and other fiscal and monetary policy changes, cybersecurity incidents, pandemics and other public health crises, sanctions against a particular foreign country, its nationals, businesses or industries and related geopolitical events, as well as environmental disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods or other catastrophes, may add to instability in global economies and markets generally, and may lead to increased market volatility. Global economies and financial markets are highly interconnected, which increases the possibility that conditions in one country or region might adversely affect issuers in another country or region. The impact of these and other factors may be short-term or may last for extended periods.

7.  Borrowing:

Line of Credit:

The Victory Funds Complex participates in a short-term demand note "Line of Credit" agreement with Citibank. The Line of Credit agreement with Citibank was renewed on June 27, 2022, with a termination date of June 26, 2023. Under the agreement with Citibank, the Victory Funds Complex may borrow up to $600 million, of which $300 million is committed and $300 million is uncommitted. $40 million of the Line of Credit is reserved for use by the Victory Floating Rate Fund, another series of the Victory Funds Complex, with Victory Floating Rate Fund paying the related commitment fees for that amount. The purpose of the Line of Credit is to meet temporary or emergency cash needs. For the year ended June 30, 2022, Citibank received an annual commitment fee of 0.15% on $300 million for providing the Line of Credit. Each fund in the Victory Funds Complex paid a pro-rata portion of the commitment fees plus any interest on amounts borrowed. For the period from July 1, 2021, through June 27, 2022, interest was based on the one-month LIBOR plus one percent. Effective with the renewal, for the period June 28, 2022, through June 30, 2022, interest was based on the one-month SOFR plus 1.10 percent. Interest charged to each fund during the period, if applicable, is reflected on the Statements of Operations under Line of credit fees.

The Funds had no borrowings under the Line of Credit agreement during the year ended June 30, 2022.

8. Federal Income Tax Information:

Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid as noted in the table below. Distributable net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually from each Fund.

The amounts of dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains (collectively, distributions to shareholders) are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. To the extent these "book/tax" differences are permanent in nature (e.g., net operating loss and distribution reclassification), such amounts are reclassified within

the components of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences (e.g., wash sales) do not require reclassification. To the extent dividends and distributions exceed net investment income and net realized gains for tax purposes, they are reported as distributions of capital. Net investment losses incurred by the Funds may be reclassified as an offset to capital on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

As of June 30, 2022, on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, reclassification adjustments were as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of Victory Portfolios II

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of portfolio investments, of VictoryShares USAA Core Short-Term Bond ETF and VictoryShares USAA Core Intermediate-Term Bond ETF (the "Funds"), each a series of Victory Portfolios II, as of June 30, 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 related notes, and the financial highlights for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, for the ten months ended June 30, 2020, and for the year ended August 31, 2019 (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 June 30, 2022, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for the years ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, for the ten months ended June 30, 2020, and for the year ended August 31, 2019, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Funds' financial highlights for the period ended August 31, 2018, were audited by other auditors whose report dated October 25, 2018, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

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

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. 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. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more investment companies advised by Victory Capital Management, Inc. since 2015.

Proxy Voting and Portfolio Holdings Information

Proxy Voting:

Information regarding the policies and procedures each Fund uses to determine how to vote proxies relating to portfolio securities is available without charge, upon request, by calling 800-539-3863. The information is also included in the Funds' Statement of Additional Information, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Information relating to how the Funds voted proxies relating to portfolio securities held during the most recent 12 months ended June 30 is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Availability of Schedules of Portfolio Investments:

The Trust files a complete list of Schedules of Portfolio Investments with the SEC for the first and third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-PORT. Forms N-PORT are available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

Expense Examples

As a shareholder of a Fund, you may incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund 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 from January 1, 2022, through June 30, 2022.

The Actual Expense figures in the table below provide information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, 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 table under the heading entitled "Actual Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

The Hypothetical Expense figures in the table below provide information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund's actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund's actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in shareholder reports of other funds.

Please note the expenses shown in the table below are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the hypothetical expenses in the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Liquidity Risk Management Program:

The Victory Funds have adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program (the "LRMP") as required by Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage each Fund's liquidity risk, taking into consideration each Fund's investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed market conditions; its short- and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other liquidity management tools such as available funding sources including the Victory Funds Complex Interfund Lending Facility and Line of Credit (discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements). The Victory Funds' Board of Trustees approved the appointment of the Funds' investment adviser, Victory Capital Management Inc. ("Victory Capital"), as the administrator of the LRMP.

Victory Capital manages liquidity risks associated with the Funds' investments by monitoring, among other things, cash and cash equivalents, any use of derivatives, the concentration of investments, the appropriateness of each Fund's investment strategy, and by classifying every Fund investment as either highly liquid, moderately liquid, less liquid, or illiquid on at least a monthly basis. To assist with the classification of Fund investments, Victory Capital has retained a third-party provider of liquidity evaluation services. This provider determines preliminary liquidity classifications for all portfolio holdings based upon portfolio-level data and certain assumptions provided by Victory Capital. Victory Capital reviews the preliminary liquidity classifications and, when appropriate, considers other information including input from the Funds' portfolio managers (including the portfolio managers employed by any investment sub-advisers) in determining final liquidity classifications.

At a meeting held on February 24, 2022, Victory Capital provided an oral and written report to the Trustees on the operation and effectiveness of the LRMP during the previous year. The report from Victory Capital concluded that the Funds did not experience any significant liquidity challenges during the covered period, and the Funds' LRMP is reasonably designed to assess and manage its liquidity risk. The report also concluded that the LRMP continues to operate adequately and effectively to enable Victory Capital to oversee and manage liquidity risk and ensure each Fund is able to meet redemption requests without significant dilution to the remaining investors' interest in each Fund. During the review period, each Fund's portfolio consisted primarily of highly liquid investments, which are defined as cash and any investments that each Fund reasonably expects to be converted to cash in current market conditions in three business days or less without significantly changing the market value of the investment. Therefore, the Funds have not adopted a highly liquid investment minimum. The Funds' investments were below the limitation on illiquid investments during the review period. Additionally, Victory Capital indicated that no events occurred that would require the filing of Form N-LIQUID and recommended no material changes to the LRMP.
