SPDR S&P MidCap 400 ETF Trust
Trust Overview (unaudited)
September 30, 2022

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE:

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

INVESTMENT STRATEGY:

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

PERFORMANCE OVERVIEW:

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

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

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

SPDR S&P MidCap 400 ETF Trust
Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 2022

Note 1 — Organization

SPDR® S&P MidCap 400® ETF Trust (the "Trust") is a unit investment trust that issues securities called "Units." The Trust is organized under New York law and is governed by a trust agreement between The Bank of New York Mellon (formerly, The Bank of New York) (the "Trustee") and PDR Services LLC (the "Sponsor"), dated and executed as of April 27, 1995, as amended (the "Trust Agreement"). The Trust is an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Trust is an "Exchange-Traded Fund", the units of which are listed on and traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "MDY", and operates under an exemptive order granted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Units represent an undivided ownership interest in a portfolio of all of the common stocks of the Standard & Poor's MidCap 400 IndexTM (the "Index").

The Sponsor is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Intercontinental Exchange, Inc. ("ICE"). ICE is a publicly-traded entity, trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "ICE."

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of the Trust's financial statements:

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Trust is an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 946, Financial Services Investment Companies.

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


18


closing price, (a) on current bid prices, (b) if bid prices are not available, on the basis of current bid prices for comparable securities, (c) by the Trustee's appraising the value of the securities in good faith on the bid side of the market or (d) by any combination thereof.

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

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

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

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

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

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of September 30, 2022 in valuing the Trust's assets carried at fair value:

Investment Risk - The Trust's investments are exposed to risks, such as market risk. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investments, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and that those changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the financial statements.

An investment in the Trust involves risks similar to those of investing in any fund of equity securities, such as market fluctuations caused by such factors as economic and political developments, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in stock prices. The value of a Unit will decline, more or less, in correlation with any decline in value of the Index. The values of equity securities could decline generally or could underperform other investments. The Trust would not sell an equity security because the security's issuer was in financial trouble unless that security was removed from the Index.

Investment Transactions - Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are recorded on a specific identification basis. Dividend income is recorded on the


19


ex-dividend date. Distributions received by the Trust may include a return of capital that is estimated by the Trustee. Such amounts are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains. The Trust invests in real estate investment trusts ("REITs"). REITs determine the characterization of their income annually and may characterize a portion of their distributions as a return of capital or capital gain. The Trust's policy is to record all REIT distributions as dividend income initially and re-designate a portion to return of capital or capital gain distributions at year end based on information provided by the REIT and/or Trustee's estimates of such re-designations for which actual information has not yet been reported.

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

Equalization - The Trust follows the accounting practice known as "Equalization" by which a portion of the proceeds from sales and costs of reacquiring the Trust's Units, equivalent on a per Unit basis to the amount of distributable net investment income on the date of the transaction, is credited or charged to undistributed net investment income. As a result, undistributed net investment income per Unit is unaffected by sales or reacquisitions of the Trust's Units. Amounts related to Equalization can be found on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

U.S. Federal Income Tax - For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Trust has qualified as a "regulated investment company" under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (a "RIC"), and intends to continue to qualify as a RIC. As a RIC, the Trust will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax for any taxable year on income, including net capital gains, that it distributes to the holders of its Units ("Unitholders"), provided that it distributes on a timely basis at least 90% of its "investment company taxable income" determined prior to the deduction for dividends paid by the Trust (generally, its taxable income other than net capital gain) for such taxable year. In addition, provided the Trust distributes during each calendar year substantially all of its ordinary income and capital gains, the Trust will not be subject to U.S. federal excise tax.

U.S. GAAP requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Trust's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are more likely than not to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more likely than not threshold would be recorded as a tax expense in the current year. The Trustee has reviewed the Trust's tax positions for the tax years subject to audit as of September 30, 2022, and has determined that no provision for income taxes is necessary for the year ended September 30, 2022. The tax returns of the Trust's 2019, 2020 and 2021 tax years and the year ended September 30, 2022 remain subject to audit. The Trust has not


20


recognized any tax liabilities relating to the Trust's tax positions considered to be uncertain tax positions for the current year or prior years.

Note 3 — Transactions with the Trustee and Sponsor

In accordance with the Trust Agreement, the Trustee maintains the Trust's accounting records from which it produces the Trust's financial statements, acts as custodian and transfer agent to the Trust, and provides administrative services, including the filing of all required regulatory reports. The Trustee is also responsible for determining the composition of the portfolio of securities which must be delivered and/or received in exchange for the issuance and/or redemption of large blocks of 25,000 Units (known as "Creation Units"), and for adjusting the composition of the Trust's portfolio from time to time to conform to changes in the composition and/or weighting structure of the Index. For these services, the Trustee receives a fee based on the following annual rates:

Net Asset Value of the Trust

  Fee as a Percentage of
Net Asset Value of the Trust
 
$0-$500,000,000*   0.14% per annum  
$500,000,001-$1,000,000,000*   0.12% per annum  
$1,000,000,001-$30,000,000,000*   0.10% per annum  
$30,000,000,001 and above*   0.08% per annum  

*  The fee indicated applies to that portion of the net asset value of the Trust, which falls in the size category indicated. Prior to the Trustee and the Sponsor amending the Trust Agreement effective February 1, 2020, the fee was 0.10% per annum for net asset value of $1,000,000,001 and above.

The Trustee voluntarily agreed to reduce its fee for the year ended September 30, 2020 as disclosed in the Statements of Operations. The amount of the reduction equals the daily Federal Funds Rate, as published in the Wall Street Journal, multiplied by the daily balance of the Trust's cash account, reduced by the amount of reserves for that account required by the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. The voluntary fee reduction ceased on January 31, 2020.

In accordance with the Trust Agreement and under the terms of the exemptive order issued by the SEC, dated January 18, 1995, the Sponsor is reimbursed by the Trust for certain expenses, to the extent such expenses do not exceed 0.30% per annum of the daily net asset value of the Trust as calculated by the Trustee. The expenses reimbursed to the Sponsor for the years ended September 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020 did not exceed 0.30% per annum. The Trust reimbursed the Sponsor for $186,736, $241,247, and $253,704 of legal fees for the years ended September 30, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively, which are included in Legal fees on the Statements of Operations.

ALPS Distributors, Inc. (the "Distributor") serves as the distributor of the Units. The Sponsor pays the Distributor for its services a flat annual fee of $35,000.


21


The Sponsor will not seek reimbursement for such payment from the Trust without obtaining prior exemptive relief from the SEC.

Except under the Trust's dividend reinvestment plan, Units are issued and redeemed by the Trust for authorized participants only in Creation Units. Such transactions are permitted only on an in-kind basis, with a separate cash payment that is equivalent to the undistributed net investment income per Unit (income equalization) and a balancing cash component to equate the transaction to the net asset value per Unit of the Trust on the transaction date. The transaction fee payable to the Trustee in connection with each creation and redemption of Creation Units made through the clearing process (the "Transaction Fee") is non-refundable, regardless of the net asset value of the Trust. The Transaction Fee is the lesser of $3,000 or 0.20% (20 basis points) of the value of one Creation Unit at the time of creation per participating party per day, regardless of the number of Creation Units created or redeemed on such day. The Transaction Fee is currently $3,000. For creations and redemptions outside the clearing process, including orders from a participating party restricted from engaging in transactions in one or more of the common stocks that are included in the Index, an additional amount not to exceed three (3) times the Transaction Fee applicable for one Creation Unit may be charged per Creation Unit per day. During the year ended September 30, 2022, the Trustee earned $1,071,000 in transaction fees. The Trustee, in its sole discretion, may voluntarily reduce or waive the transaction fee, or modify its transaction fee schedule, subject to certain limitations. There were no reductions or waivers of such fees for the years ended September 30, 2022, 2021, and 2020.

At September 30, 2022, the Trustee and its affiliates held $1,005,799,349 or 6.31% of fractional undivided interest in the Trust.


22


Note 5 — Investment Transactions

For the year ended September 30, 2022, the Trust had net in-kind contributions, net in-kind redemptions, purchases and sales of investment securities of $15,702,576,808, $16,753,162,831, $3,350,867,732, and $3,351,732,861, respectively.

Note 6 — U.S. Federal Income Tax Status

The following details the distributions and net distributable earnings as of September 30, 2022. The components of distributable earnings for tax purposes differ from the amounts reflected in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities by temporary book/tax differences primarily arising from wash sales, distribution payable, and amortization of license fees.

The tax composition of dividends paid during the years ending September 30, 2022, September 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, in the amounts disclosed on the statements of changes in net assets, was ordinary income.

At September 30, 2022, the Trust's cost of investments for federal income tax purposes and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) was as follows:

Cost of investments for federal income tax purposes

 

$

20,765,093,767

   

Gross unrealized appreciation

 

$

90,378,358

   

Gross unrealized depreciation

Short-term capital loss carryforwards (no expiration):

 

$

   

Long-term capital loss carryforwards (no expiration):

 

$

911,263,324

   

The Trust did not utilize capital loss carryforwards during the year ended September 30, 2022. To the extent that capital loss carryforwards are used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that the offset gains will not be distributed to Unitholders.

As of September 30, 2022, the Trust had permanent book/tax differences primarily attributable to gains or losses from in-kind redemptions. To reflect reclassifications arising from these differences, total distributable earnings (loss) were decreased by $2,187,104,153 and paid-in capital was increased by $2,187,104,153.

Note 7 — Representations and Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Trustee or the Sponsor, on behalf of the Trust, may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties which provide general indemnifications. The Trust's maximum exposure


23


under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims which may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Note 8 — Related Party Transactions

The Trustee used BNY Mellon Capital Markets, LLC ("BNYMellon CM"), an indirect-wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, and an affiliate of the Trustee, to execute some brokerage transactions for the Trust. During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the Trust paid $1,170,688, $767,773 and $991,217 in commissions to BNYMellon CM, respectively.

Note 9 — License Agreement and Distribution Expenses

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

Currently, the License Agreement is scheduled to terminate on November 29, 2031, but its term may be extended beyond such date without the consent of any of the owners of Units.

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


24


Note 10 — Equity Investing and Market Risk

An investment in the Trust involves risks similar to those of investing in any fund of equity securities, such as market fluctuations caused by such factors as economic and political developments, changes in interest rates, perceived trends in securities prices, war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious disease or other public health issues. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious disease or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the Trust and its investments and could result in increased premiums or discounts to the Trust's net asset value.

An investment in the Trust is subject to the risks of any investment in a broadly based portfolio of equity securities, including the risk that the general level of stock prices may decline, thereby adversely affecting the value of such investment. The value of the common stocks that are actually held by the Trust and make up the Trust's portfolio ("Portfolio Securities") may fluctuate in accordance with changes in the financial condition of the issuers of Portfolio Securities, the value of equity securities generally and other factors. The identity and weighting of the common stocks that are included in the Index and the Portfolio Securities change from time to time.

The financial condition of issuers of Portfolio Securities may become impaired or the general condition of the stock market may deteriorate, either of which may cause a decrease in the value of the Trust's portfolio and thus in the value of Units. Since the Trust is not actively managed, the adverse financial condition of an issuer will not result in its elimination from the Trust's portfolio unless such issuer is removed from the Index. Equity securities are susceptible to general stock market fluctuations and to volatile increases and decreases in value as market confidence in and perceptions of their issuers change. These investor perceptions are based on various and unpredictable factors, including expectations regarding government, economic, monetary and fiscal policies, inflation and interest rates, economic expansion or contraction, and global or regional political, economic and banking crises, as well as war, acts of terrorism and the spread of infectious disease or other public health issues.

An outbreak of infectious respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 was first detected in China in December 2019 and was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. This coronavirus has resulted in travel restrictions, restrictions on gatherings of people (including closings of, or limitations on, dining and entertainment establishments, as well as schools and universities), closed businesses (or businesses that are restricted in their operations), closed international borders, enhanced health screenings at ports of entry and elsewhere, disruption of and delays in healthcare service preparation and delivery, prolonged quarantines, cancellations, supply chain disruptions, and lower consumer demand, as well as general concern and uncertainty. The impact of COVID-19, and other infectious disease outbreaks that may arise in the future, could adversely affect the economies of many nations or the


25


entire global economy, individual issuers and capital markets in ways that cannot neccesarily be foreseen. Public health crises caused by the COVID-19 outbreak may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks in certain countries or globally. The duration of the COVID-19 outbreak cannot be determined with certainty. The risk of further spreading of COVID-19 has led to significant uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets and disruption to the global economy, the consequences of which are currently unpredictable. Certain of the Trust's investments have exposure to businesses that, as a result of COVID-19, have experienced a slowdown or temporary suspension in business activities. Additionally, governments and central banks, including the Federal Reserve in the United States, have taken extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets. The impact of these measures, and whether they will be effective to mitigate the economic and market disruption, will not be known for some time. These factors, as well as any restrictive measures instituted in order to prevent or control a pandemic or other public health crisis, such as the one posed by COVID-19, could have a material and adverse effect on the Trust's investments.

Holders of common stocks of any given issuer incur more risk than holders of preferred stocks and debt obligations of the issuer because the rights of common stockholders, as owners of the issuer, generally are subordinate to the rights of creditors of, or holders of debt obligations or preferred stocks issued by, such issuer. Further, unlike debt securities that typically have a stated principal amount payable at maturity, or preferred stocks that typically have a liquidation preference and may have stated optional or mandatory redemption provisions, common stocks have neither a fixed principal amount nor a maturity. Equity securities values are subject to market fluctuations as long as the equity securities remain outstanding. The value of the Trust's portfolio will fluctuate over the entire life of the Trust.

There can be no assurance that the issuers of Portfolio Securities will pay dividends. Distributions generally depend upon the declaration of dividends by the issuers of Portfolio Securities and the declaration of such dividends generally depends upon various factors, including the financial condition of the issuers and general economic conditions.

Note 11 — Subsequent Events

The Trustee has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events of the Trust through the date on which the financial statements were issued and has determined that there were no subsequent events requiring adjustments or additional disclosure in the financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

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

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of SPDR S&P MidCap 400 ETF Trust (the "Trust") as of September 30, 2022, the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2022, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended September 30, 2022 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Trust as of September 30, 2022, the results of its operations and the changes in its net assets for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2022 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended September 30, 2022 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Trust's 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 Trust 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 of these financial statements 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 audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2022 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
