How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The reporting period’s market environment was shaped first by moderating inflation and speculation on the timing of rate cuts, and then by a tariff war introduced by the newly elected Trump administration. This injected some market volatility into the mix, but as the early economic data revealed the tariffs’ impact to be less than feared, markets resumed their upward march. To a large degree, this continued to be driven by artificial intelligence ("A.I."), with news of significant A.I.-related investments allowing investors to shrug off concerns of excessive valuations. While mega-cap tech-related firms such as Alphabet Inc. and Meta Platforms drove early gains through A.I.-driven advertising and cost efficiencies, defensive players like broadband providers helped stabilize the sector amid broader market fluctuations.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

As of the end of September 2025, the consumer discretionary sector experienced a dynamic and volatile year, following strong aggregate gains in 2024. Three rate cuts in late 2024 and another in September 2025 boosted investor optimism and a "risk-on" sentiment. At the same time, mixed economic signals like strong GDP growth alongside persistent inflation, created volatility. Some strong data ironically fueled fears that the U.S. Federal Reserve (the "Fed") might slow its easing pace. After a weak first half of 2025, the sector mounted a significant comeback in the third quarter, fueled by the Fed interest rate cuts and resilient consumer spending, particularly among higher-income households.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The consumer staples sector had an underwhelming fiscal year as the S&P Consumer Staples Select Sector Index lost 3.01% and lagged the broader market, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, by more than 20% over the period. During this time, investors favored high-growth and Artificial Intelligence-related stocks. The sector also faced challenges from elevated interest rates dimming the appeal of their dividend yields and concerns over the increased impact of weight-loss drugs on food and beverage consumption. Additionally, many companies in the sector offered cautious outlooks on future performance, signaling unpredictable shifts in consumer purchasing behavior and the headwinds that affected the sector to persist.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The Energy Select Sector Index navigated a complex landscape over the past year, shaped by shifting global dynamics and evolving policy signals. Investor sentiment remained cautious amid geopolitical tensions and fluctuating commodity prices, particularly in oil and natural gas markets. Regulatory uncertainty, including global tariff developments and environmental policy debates, added layers of complexity to capital allocation decisions. Despite these headwinds, the sector demonstrated resilience, supported by disciplined capital management and operational efficiencies.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The reporting period’s market environment was shaped first by moderating inflation and speculation on the timing of rate cuts, and then by a tariff war introduced by the newly elected Trump administration. This injected some market volatility into the mix, but as the early economic data revealed the tariffs’ impact to be less than feared, markets resumed their upward march. Over the past year, the financial sector posted a solid total return of over 20% supported by improving earnings, investor optimism about long-term growth, and a favorable interest rate environment. Banks expanded net interest margins while diversified financials and insurance also contributed positively. When the U.S. Federal Reserve finally cut rates in September—the first in a year, markets had fully priced in the move.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The reporting period’s market environment was shaped first by moderating inflation and speculation on the timing of rate cuts, and then by a tariff war introduced by the newly elected Trump administration. This injected some market volatility into the mix, but as the early economic data revealed the tariffs’ impact to be less than feared, markets resumed their upward march. To a large degree, this continued to be driven by artificial intelligence ("A.I."), with news of significant A.I. related investments allowing investors to shrug off concerns of excessive valuations. When the U.S. Federal Reserve finally cut rates in September, the first in a year, markets had fully priced in the move. By the end of the reporting period, all major regional market indices ended the period higher, despite intermittent geopolitical and policy obstacles. Notably, the health care sector was not among the primary drivers of equity market outperformance for the year. Despite the broader market’s positive trajectory, the Health Care Select Sector Index ended the year with a negative return of 7.95%. This underperformance highlights investors interest firmly centered on technology and A.I. driven themes during this period.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The industrial sector had a strong year but underperformed the broader S&P 500 Index, which was largely driven by the Artificial Intelligence boom benefiting the communication services and information technology sectors. Aerospace and defense was the top performing industry, led by GE Aerospace, which reached a record high as air travel rebounded post-pandemic and increased defense spending boosted financial results. In contrast, United Parcel Service, Inc. detracted from performance due to weaker delivery volumes, rising labor costs, and uncertainty surrounding trade tariffs.

Fund Performance

The Fund's benchmarks are unmanaged indices used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The Materials Select Sector Index navigated a challenging yet transitional year, shaped by macroeconomic headwinds and shifting global dynamics. Early pressure from high interest rates and a slowdown in China weighed on sentiment, particularly in metals and construction inputs. However, the sector found support in late-cycle stimulus measures and easing monetary policy across major economies. Commodity-linked industries like copper and gold benefited from inflation hedging and geopolitical uncertainty. Despite volatility, investor interest returned to select cyclical names, while high-quality, rate-sensitive firms offered defensive appeal.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The real estate sector performance was mixed over the reporting period. The Fund declined nearly 8% over the first quarter of the reporting period, largely driven by a less dovish stance by the U.S. Federal Reserve which scaled back expectations for rate cuts in 2025. As the macroeconomic conditions stabilized, the Fund recovered about 6% over the remainder of the reporting period. Welltower, Inc. was the top contributor and benefited from increased demand for outpatient services and limited supply. American Tower Corp. lagged after lowering guidance amid operational challenges and regional setbacks.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

Performance of the Fund for the reporting period was driven by Artificial Intelligence-based growth and strategic integration, demand for

innovation, positive earnings and other technology-centered tailwinds, despite hawkish U.S. Federal Reserve signals and valuation

concerns. During the reporting period, the Fund's use of their current investment strategies did not cause the Fund's performance to materially

deviate from the manager's expectations considering the uncertainty of the markets.

Fund Performance

The Fund's benchmarks are unmanaged indices used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains.

How did the Fund perform last year and what affected its performance?

The reporting period’s market environment was shaped first by moderating inflation and speculation on the timing of rate cuts, and then by a tariff war introduced by the newly elected Trump administration. This injected some market volatility into the mix, but as the early economic data revealed the tariffs’ impact to be less than feared, markets resumed their upward march. Despite positive performance, the utilities sector lagged the broader market and the high-flying growth segments of the market due to it being considered more of a defensive sector. Utility companies benefited from a surge in electricity demand from data centers and artificial intelligence infrastructure, though concerns around regulatory pushback and inflation remain.

Fund Performance

The Fund's benchmarks are unmanaged indices used as a general measure of market performance. Calculations assume dividends and capital gains.

 SELECT SECTOR SPDR TRUST

 


The Select Sector SPDR Trust
Annual Financial Statements and Other Information

September 30, 2025

Select Sector SPDR Funds
The Select Sector SPDR Trust consists of twenty-two separate investment portfolios, of which, eleven separate investment portfolios (each a "Select Sector SPDR Fund" or a "Fund" and collectively the "Select Sector SPDR Funds" or the "Funds") are included in this report.
Select Sector SPDR Funds are “index funds” that unbundle the benchmark S&P 500® and give you ownership in particular sectors or groups of industries that are represented by a specified Select Sector Index. Through a single share, investors can buy or sell any of eleven major industry sectors that make up the S&P 500®, in the same way as they would buy or sell a share of stock. Select Sector SPDR Fund shares are different from the shares of conventional mutual funds. Select Sector SPDR Funds trade on NYSE Arca, Inc.
Eleven Select Sector SPDR Funds
Shares are available for exchange trading in the following Funds of The Select Sector SPDR Trust:
The Communication Services Select Sector SPDR Fund XLC
The Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund XLY
The Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR Fund XLP
The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund XLE
The Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund XLF
The Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund XLV
The Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund XLI
The Materials Select Sector SPDR Fund XLB
The Real Estate Select Sector SPDR Fund XLRE
The Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund XLK
The Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund XLU
Each of these Funds is designed to, before expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of a Select Sector Index. Each Fund’s portfolio is comprised principally of shares of constituent companies in the S&P 500®. Each stock in the S&P 500® is allocated to one Select Sector Index. The combined companies of the eleven Select Sector Indexes represent all of the companies in the S& P 500®. Each Select Sector SPDR Fund can be expected to move up or down in value with its underlying Select Sector Index. Investors cannot invest directly in an index. Funds focused on a single sector generally experience greater price fluctuations than the overall stock market.
Objective
Select Sector SPDR Funds are designed to provide investors with an affordable way to invest in a portfolio of equity securities in a sector or group of industries in a single trade. Select Sector SPDR Funds allow you to tailor asset allocations to fit your particular investment needs or goals. One Fund may complement another; individual Select Sector SPDR Funds can be used to increase exposure to certain industries that may be outperforming the market or to hedge other holdings in your portfolio. Although an individual Select Sector SPDR Fund may bear a higher level of risk than a broad-market fund, because of less diversification, sector investments may also offer opportunities for returns greater than an investment in the entire constituents of the S&P 500®.
The information contained in this report is intended for the general information of shareholders of the Trust. This report is not authorized for distribution to prospective investors unless preceded or accompanied by a current Trust prospectus which contains important information concerning the Trust. You may obtain a current prospectus from the Distributor, ALPS Portfolio Solutions Distributor, Inc., by calling 1-866-SECTOR-ETF (1-866-732-8673). Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest (Please see Note 13 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements for changes occurring effective December 1, 2025).
S&P 500: the Standard & Poor’s composite index of 500 stocks, a widely recognized, unmanaged, index of common stock prices.

THE SELECT SECTOR SPDR TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2025

1.    Organization
The Select Sector SPDR Trust (the “Trust”), a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”), is an open-end management investment company.
As of September 30, 2025, the Trust consists of twenty-two (22) series, each of which represents a separate series of beneficial interest in the Trust. The Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Board”) to authorize the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest at $0.01 par value. The financial statements herein relate to the following series (each a “Fund”, and collectively, the “Funds”):
The Communication Services Select Sector SPDR Fund
The Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund
The Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR Fund
The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund
The Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund
The Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund
The Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund
The Materials Select Sector SPDR Fund
The Real Estate Select Sector SPDR Fund
The Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund
The Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund
Each Fund is classified as a non-diversified investment company under the 1940 Act.
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 Trust. The Trust has entered into an Indemnification Agreement with each trustee who is not an “interested person” (as defined in the 1940 Act) (each, an “Independent Trustee”) providing for indemnification of the Independent Trustee by the Trust consistent with the foregoing and providing procedures for seeking and obtaining indemnification advancement of expenses. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred.
2.    Segment Reporting
Each Fund has one reportable segment. Business activities are managed on a consolidated basis and revenues are derived primarily through each Fund’s investments in accordance with its investment objective. Each Fund’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the President of the Trust. The CODM assesses performance based on a Fund’s total return as reported in the Financial Highlights, and the same accounting policies are applied as described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Each Fund’s total return is utilized by the CODM to compare results, including the impact of a Fund’s costs, to a Fund’s competitors and to a Fund’s benchmark index.
3.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Trust in the preparation of its 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. Each Fund is an investment company under U.S. GAAP and follows the accounting and reporting guidance applicable to investment companies.
Security Valuation
Each Fund's investments are valued at fair value each day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open and, for financial reporting purposes, as of the report date should the reporting period end on a day that the NYSE is not open. Fair value is generally defined as the price a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. By its nature, a fair value price is a good faith estimate of the valuation in a current sale and may not reflect an actual market price. The investments of each Fund are valued pursuant to the policy and procedures developed by the Oversight Committee (the “Committee”) and approved by the Board. The Committee provides oversight of the valuation of investments for the Funds. The Board has responsibility for overseeing the determination of the fair value of investments.

THE SELECT SECTOR SPDR TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued) 
September 30, 2025

Valuation techniques used to value each Fund’s investments by major category are as follows:
•  Equity investments (including registered investment companies that are exchange-traded funds) traded on a recognized securities exchange for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price, as applicable, on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Equity investments traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last published sale price or at fair value.
•  Investments in registered investment companies (including money market funds) or other unitized pooled investment vehicles that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that day’s published net asset value (“NAV”) per share or unit.
•  Exchange-traded futures contracts are valued at the closing settlement price on the primary market on which they are traded most extensively. Exchange-traded futures contracts traded on a recognized exchange for which there were no sales on that day are valued at the last reported sale price obtained from independent pricing services or brokers or at fair value.
In the event prices or quotations are not readily available or that the application of these valuation methods results in a price for an investment that is deemed to be not representative of the fair value of such investment, fair value will be determined in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with the valuation policy and procedures approved by the Board.
Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund's NAV and the prices used by the Funds' respective Select Sector Index, which in turn could result in a difference between the Fund's performance and the performance of the Fund's respective Select Sector Index. Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds' investments.
The Funds value their assets and liabilities at fair value using a fair value hierarchy consisting of three broad levels that prioritize the inputs to valuation techniques giving the highest priority to readily available unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements) when market prices are not readily available or reliable. The categorization of a value determined for an investment within the hierarchy is based upon the pricing transparency of the investment and is not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in it.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
•  Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for an identical asset or liability;
•  Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not considered to be active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as exchange rates, financing terms, interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs; and
•  Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, including the Committee’s assumptions used in determining the fair value of investments.
The value of each Fund’s investments according to the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2025 is disclosed in each Fund’s respective Schedule of Investments.
Investment Transactions and Income Recognition
Investment transactions are accounted for on trade date for financial reporting purposes. Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of investments and foreign exchange transactions, if any, are determined using the identified cost method.
Dividend income and capital gain distributions, if any, are recognized on the ex-dividend date, or when the information becomes available, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source, if any. Non-cash dividends received in the form of stock, if any, are recorded as dividend income at fair value. Distributions received by the Funds may include a return of capital that is estimated by management. Such amounts are recorded as a reduction of the cost of investments or reclassified to capital gains.

THE SELECT SECTOR SPDR TRUST
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (continued) 
September 30, 2025

Certain Funds invest in real estate investment trusts (“REITs”). REITs determine the tax character of their distributions annually and may characterize a portion of their distributions as a return of capital or capital gain. The Funds' policy is to record all REIT distributions initially as dividend income 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 SSGA Funds Management, Inc.’s (the “Adviser” or “SSGA FM”) estimates of such re-designations for which actual information has not yet been reported.
Expenses
Certain expenses, which are directly identifiable to a specific Fund, are applied to that Fund within the Trust. Other expenses which cannot be attributed to a specific Fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative net assets of the Funds within the Trust.
Foreign Taxes
The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, stock dividends, realized and unrealized capital gains on investments or certain foreign currency transactions. Foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with SSGA FM's understanding of the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Funds invest. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Funds and are reflected in the Statements of Operations, if applicable. Foreign taxes payable or recoverable  as of September 30, 2025, if any, are disclosed in the Funds' Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Equalization
The Funds follow the accounting practice known as “Equalization” by which a portion of the proceeds from sales and costs of reacquiring Fund shares, equivalent on a per share 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 share is unaffected by sales or reacquisition of Fund shares. Amounts related to Equalization can be found on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.     
Distributions
Distributions from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. Net realized capital gains, if any, are distributed annually. Dividends may be declared and paid more frequently or at any other times to improve Index tracking or to comply with the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). The amount and character of income and capital gains to be distributed are determined in accordance with applicable tax regulations which may differ from net investment income and realized gains recognized for U.S. GAAP purposes.
4.    Derivative Financial Instruments
Futures Contracts
The Funds may enter into futures contracts to meet Funds' objectives. A futures contract is a standardized, exchange-traded agreement to buy or sell a financial instrument at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit with the broker, cash or securities in an amount equal to the minimum initial margin requirements of the clearing house. Securities deposited, if any, are designated on the Schedules of Investments and cash deposited, if any, is included in Net cash at broker on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Subsequent payments are made or received by a Fund equal to the daily change in the contract value, accumulated, exchange rates, and or other transactional fees. The accumulation of those payments are recorded as variation margin receivable or payable with a corresponding offset to unrealized gains or losses. A Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed.  
Losses may arise if the value of a futures contract decreases due to unfavorable changes in the market rates or values of the underlying instrument during the term of the contract or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract. The use of futures contracts also involves the risk that the movements in the price of the futures contracts do not correlate with the movement of the assets underlying such contracts.

5.    Fees and Transactions with Affiliates
Advisory and Administration Fee
The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, has entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement with SSGA FM. For its advisory services to the Funds, each Fund pays the Adviser a fee accrued daily and paid monthly. The advisory fee is calculated based upon the average daily net assets of the Trust and allocated pro rata to each Select Sector SPDR Fund based on the relative net assets of each Fund. The advisory fee is a sliding scale fee calculated as follows: (i) 0.05% of average daily net assets of the Trust up to the first $12.5 billion of net assets; (ii) 0.04% of average daily net assets of the Trust up to the next $17.5 billion of net assets; (iii) 0.035% of average daily net assets of the Trust up to the next $20.0 billion of net assets; (iv) 0.03% of average daily net assets of the Trust up to the next $50.0 billion of net assets; (v) 0.0285% of average daily net assets of the Trust up to the next $50.0 billion of net assets; (vi) 0.0271% of average daily net assets of the Trust up to the next $50.0 billion of net assets; and (vii) 0.0256% of average daily net assets of the Trust up to the next $100.0 billion of net assets; (viii) 0.0243% of average daily net assets of the Trust up to the next $100.0 billion of net assets; and 0.023% of average daily net assets on the remainder of net assets of the Trust.
The Trust has also entered into an Administration Agreement with SSGA FM to serve as each Fund's Administrator. For its administration services to the Funds, each Fund pays SSGA FM a fee accrued daily and paid monthly at a rate 0.0006% of its average daily net assets.
Unitary Fee
State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as custodian, sub-administrator and transfer agent to each Fund of the Trust. A “unitary” fee is paid by each Fund to State Street for custody, sub-administration and transfer agency services provided to the Funds. The unitary fee is calculated based upon the average daily net assets of the Trust and allocated pro rata to each Select Sector SPDR Fund based upon the relative net assets of each Fund. Effective June 1, 2025, the unitary fee structure was amended and  is calculated as follows: (i) $0 - $50 billion of net assets of the Trust, 0.015% of average daily net assets; (ii) over $50 billion - $75 billion of net assets of the Trust, 0.0125% of average daily net assets; (iii) over $75 billion - $100 billion of net assets of the Trust, 0.01% of average daily net assets; (iv) over $100 billion - $250 billion of net assets of the Trust, 0.004% of average daily net assets; and (v) over $250 billion of net assets of the Trust, 0.0025% of average daily net assets. Prior to June 1, 2025, the unitary fee structure was calculated as follows: (i) $0 - $50 billion of net assets of the Trust, 0.015% of average daily net assets; (ii) over $50 billion - $75 billion of net assets of the Trust, 0.0125% of average daily net assets; (iii) over $75 billion - $100 billion of net assets of the Trust, 0.01% of average daily net assets; (iv) over $100 billion - $400 billion of net assets of the Trust, 0.004% of average daily net assets; and (v) over $400 billion of net assets of the Trust, 0.0025% of average daily net assets.
State Street is a wholly-owned subsidiary of State Street Corporation.
Other Transactions with Affiliates - Securities Lending
State Street, an affiliate of the Funds, acts as the securities lending agent for the Funds, pursuant to an amended and restated securities lending authorization agreement dated July 10, 2017, as amended.
Net proceeds collected by State Street on investment of cash collateral or any fee income less rebates payable to borrowers are paid as follows: If the calendar year to date net proceeds are below a specified threshold across participating affiliated funds, each Fund retains eighty five percent (85%) of the net proceeds and fifteen percent (15%) of such net proceeds is payable to State Street. Starting the business day following the date that calendar year to date net proceeds exceeds a specified threshold, each Fund retains ninety percent (90%) of the net proceeds and ten percent (10%) of such net proceeds is payable to State Street.
In addition, cash collateral from lending activities is invested in the State Street Navigator Securities Lending Portfolio II, an affiliated fund, for which SSGA FM serves as investment adviser. See Note 11 for additional information regarding securities lending.

Other Transactions with Affiliates
The Funds may invest in affiliated entities, including securities issued by State Street Corporation, affiliated funds, or entities deemed to be affiliates as a result of the Funds owning more than five percent of the entity’s voting securities or outstanding shares. Amounts relating to these transactions during the year ended September 30, 2025, are disclosed in the Funds' respective Schedules of Investments.
Due to Custodian
In certain circumstances, the Funds may have cash overdrafts with the custodian due to expense payments, capital transactions, trading of securities, investment operations or derivative transactions. The Due to custodian amount, if any, reflects cash overdrawn with State Street, as custodian, who is an affiliate of the Funds.
6.    Additional Expenses
Distributor
ALPS Portfolio Solutions Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”) serves as the distributor of the shares of each Fund. Pursuant to a Distribution and Service Plan adopted by each Fund in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, each Fund is authorized to pay fees, including fees to the Distributor, at an annualized rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Effective February 1, 2022, the Board limited each Fund's 12b-1 fee to an annual rate of 0.02% of its average daily net assets. This limitation is in effect through at least January 31, 2026.
License Fees
S&P Opco, LLC, a subsidiary of S&P Dow Jones Indices LLC and S&P Global (“S&P”), and NYSE Arca, Inc. (either directly or through affiliates) have entered into a license agreement with respect to each Fund's Select Sector Index. Each Fund pays an annual sub-license fee to S&P based on a percentage of its total expense ratio shown on the financial highlight for the most recent fiscal year. This rate is applied to the Fund’s average daily net assets. Future years’ sub-license fee rate will be based on a schedule of percentages applied to the most recent total expense ratio of a Fund shown in the, then, current annual report and applied to the average daily net assets of that Fund. Fees to S&P are generally paid quarterly.
7.    Trustees’ Fees
The fees and expenses of the Independent Trustees and one interested, non-management trustee are paid directly by the Funds. The Independent Trustees and one interested, non-management trustee are reimbursed for travel and other out-of-pocket expenses in connection with meeting attendance and industry seminars.

9.    Shareholder Transactions
Each Fund issues and redeems its shares, at NAV, by each Fund only in aggregations of a specified number of shares or multiples thereof (“Creation Units”). Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a Fund may consist of the in-kind deposit of a designated portfolio of securities and a specified amount of cash. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee directly to the Trust and/or custodian, to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units, including Creation Units for cash. An additional variable fee may be charged for certain transactions. Such variable charges, if any, are included in “Other Capital” on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
10.    Income Tax Information
The Funds have qualified and intend to continue to qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Each Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes to the extent it distributes its taxable income, including any net realized capital gains, for each fiscal year. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax is required.
The Funds file federal and various state and local tax returns as required. No income tax returns are currently under examination. Generally, the federal returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from date of filing, while the state returns may remain open for an additional year depending upon jurisdiction. SSGA FM has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on tax returns for all open years and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions that would require recognition of a tax liability.
Distributions to shareholders are recorded on ex-dividend date. Income dividends and gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax rules and regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.

Certain capital accounts in the financial statements have been adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net asset values or results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences will reverse in the future. These book-tax differences are primarily due to differing treatments for in-kind transactions, nontaxable dividend adjustments to income, future contracts, wash sale loss deferrals, real estate investment trusts, and distributions in excess of current earnings.

11.    Securities Lending
Each Fund may lend securities to qualified broker-dealers or institutional investors. The loans are secured at all times by cash, cash equivalents or U.S. government securities in an amount at least equal to the market value of the securities loaned, plus accrued interest and dividends, determined on a daily basis and adjusted accordingly. The value of the collateral with respect to a loaned security may be temporarily more or less than the value of a security due to market fluctuations of securities values. With respect to each loan, if on any U.S. business day the aggregate market value of securities collateral plus cash collateral is less than the aggregate market value of the securities which are subject to the loan, the borrower will be notified to provide additional collateral on the next business day.
The Funds will regain record ownership of loaned securities to exercise certain beneficial rights; however, the Funds may bear the risk of delay in recovery of, or even loss of rights in the securities loaned should the borrower fail financially. In addition, a Fund will bear the risk of loss of any cash collateral that it may invest. Each Fund receives compensation for lending its securities from interest or dividends earned on the cash, cash equivalents or U.S. government securities held as collateral, net of fee rebates paid to the borrower and net of fees paid to State Street as the lending agent. Additionally, a Fund will receive a fee from the borrower for non-cash collateral equal to a percentage of the market value of the loaned securities.

12.    Risks
Concentration Risk
As a result of the Funds' ability to invest a large percentage of their assets in obligations of issuers within the same country, state, region, currency or economic sector, an adverse economic, business or political development may affect the value of the Funds' investments more than if the Funds were more broadly diversified.
Market Risk
A Fund’s investments are subject to changes in general economic conditions, general market fluctuations and the risks inherent in investment in securities markets. Investment markets can be volatile and prices of investments can change substantially due to various factors including, but not limited to, economic growth or recession, changes in interest rates, changes in the actual or perceived creditworthiness of issuers, and general market liquidity. A Fund is subject to the risk that geopolitical events will disrupt securities markets and adversely affect global economies and markets. Local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness, such as COVID-19, or other public health issues, or other events could have a significant impact on a Fund and its investments.

THE SELECT SECTOR SPDR TRUST
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
The Select Sector SPDR® Trust
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of The Select Sector SPDR® Trust comprising The Communication Services Select Sector SPDR Fund, The Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund, The Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR Fund, The Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund, The Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund, The Health Care Select Sector SPDR Fund, The Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund, The Materials Select Sector SPDR Fund, The Real Estate Select Sector SPDR Fund, The Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund, and The Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund (the “Funds”) as of September 30, 2025, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for the years ended September 30, 2025, 2024 and 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of September 30, 2025, 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 years ended September 30, 2025, 2024 and 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Funds’ financial highlights for the years ended September 30, 2022, and prior, were audited by other auditors whose report dated November 23, 2022, 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 September 30, 2025, by correspondence with the custodians 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 Funds’ auditor since 2023.

Advisory Contract Renewal
At a meeting held on May 1, 2025 (the “May Meeting”), the Board of Trustees of The Select Sector SPDR® Trust (the “Trust”) considered the renewal of the Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement dated December 1, 2003, as amended effective June 18, 2018 (the “Agreement”), between the Trust and SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Adviser”) with respect to each series of the Trust (each a “Fund” and  collectively, the “Funds”). The Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Trustees”), also met separately with their independent legal counsel prior to a meeting held on April 10, 2025 (the “April Meeting”) to consider the Agreement and the materials provided by the Adviser and State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) in response to a request from independent legal counsel on their behalf. The April Meeting included a presentation by representatives of the Adviser and State Street during which the Independent Trustees and independent legal counsel were able to pose questions. Following the April Meeting, independent legal counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees requested certain clarifications and supplements to the materials provided, and those materials were considered at the May Meeting, prior to which the Independent Trustees met separately with their independent legal counsel. In deciding whether to renew the Agreement, the Trustees considered various factors, including, among others, (i) the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser under the Agreement, (ii) the investment performance of the Funds relative to their index, (iii) the costs to the Adviser of its services and the profits and other benefits realized by the Adviser and its affiliate, State Street, from their relationships with the Trust, (iv) the extent to which economies of scale would be realized if and as the Funds grow and whether the fee levels in the Agreement reflect a sharing of any such economies of scale and (v) the fees paid under the Agreement compared to the advisory fees paid by comparable funds.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Trustees relied on their prior experience as Trustees of the Trust, as well as on the materials provided at their regular quarterly board meetings and those provided specifically for purposes of reviewing the Agreement. They noted that under the Agreement the Adviser is responsible for: (i) managing the investment operations of each of the Funds in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective and policies, applicable legal and regulatory requirements, and the instructions of the Trustees; (ii) providing necessary and appropriate reports and information to the Trustees; (iii) maintaining all necessary books and records pertaining to the Trust’s securities transactions; and (iv) furnishing each Fund with the assistance, cooperation and information necessary for the Fund to meet various legal requirements regarding registration and reporting. They noted the distinctive nature of the Funds, as exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) investing in sectors of the S&P 500 Index, and the experience and expertise appropriate in an adviser to funds of that nature. The Trustees reviewed the background and experience of the Adviser’s senior management, including those individuals responsible for the investment and compliance operations of the Trust, and the responsibilities of the latter with respect to the Funds. They also considered the resources, operational structures and practices of the Adviser in managing the Funds’ portfolios, in monitoring and securing each Fund’s compliance with its investment objective and policies and with applicable law and regulations, and in seeking best execution of portfolio transactions. Drawing upon the materials provided and their general knowledge of the business of the Adviser and its affiliate, State Street Global Advisors Trust Company, with which the Adviser shares all of its senior personnel, the Trustees took into account the experience, resources and strength of the Adviser and its affiliates in the areas of indexed products generally, and ETFs in particular. On the basis of this review, the Trustees determined that the nature and extent of the services provided by the Adviser to the Trust were appropriate, had been of high quality during the past year, and could be expected to remain so.
Investment Performance of the Funds
The Trustees noted that, in view of the distinctive investment objective of each Fund, the investment performance of the Funds in absolute terms was not of the importance that normally attaches to the performance of actively managed funds. Of more importance to the Trustees was the extent to which each Fund achieved its objective to provide investment results that, before expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of publicly traded equity securities of companies in its applicable index. Drawing upon information provided at the April Meeting and at the May Meeting, and upon reports provided to the Trustees by the Adviser throughout the preceding year, the Trustees determined that the Funds had tracked their sector indexes within an acceptable range; they further concluded, on the basis of the data available (see discussion in “Comparison of Fees and Expense Ratios” below), that the expense ratio of each Fund was competitive with its peers. Accordingly, they concluded that the performance of each Fund was satisfactory.

THE SELECT SECTOR SPDR TRUST
STATEMENT REGARDING BASIS FOR APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY CONTRACT

Profitability to the Adviser and its Affiliates
The Trustees considered the profitability of the advisory arrangement with the Funds to the Adviser and of the Trust’s relationship with the Adviser’s affiliate, State Street, in its role as Sub-Administrator, Transfer Agent, Custodian, Fund Accountant and Securities Lending Agent. The Trustees received data on the Funds’ profitability to the Adviser for calendar year 2024 as well as 2023 profitability data, along with data on the Trust’s profitability to State Street for the same and prior periods. The Trustees reviewed with representatives from both the Adviser and State Street the methods by which expenses were allocated to the Trust and to each of the Funds. On the basis of this information and discussions at the April Meeting and the May Meeting, the Trustees concluded that, to the extent that the Adviser’s and State Street’s relationships with the Trust had been profitable to either or both of those entities, the profitability at current asset levels was not such as to render the advisory fee excessive.
Other Benefits to the Adviser or its Affiliates
In considering whether the Adviser benefits in other ways from its relationship with the Trust, the Trustees noted that the Adviser does not currently use the Funds’ assets for, or participate in, third party soft dollar arrangements. It was further noted that the Trust’s brokerage transactions are not effected through the Adviser or any of its affiliates. The Trustees noted that the Adviser serves as Administrator to the Trust, that State Street, an affiliate of the Adviser, serves the Trust as Sub-Administrator, Transfer Agent, Custodian, Fund Accountant and Securities Lending Agent and that an affiliated securities lending fund is utilized as part of the Funds’ securities lending program which generates fees for State Street. The Trustees also noted that, based on their review of the arrangements for those services, any benefit the Adviser or the Adviser’s affiliate receives or had received from providing those services appears to be appropriate. The Trustees concluded that, to the extent that the Adviser or its affiliates derive other benefits or will derive other benefits from their relationships with the Trust, those benefits are not such as to render the Adviser’s fees excessive.
Economies of Scale
On the basis of their discussions with management and their analysis of information provided at and prior to the May Meeting, the Trustees determined that the nature of the Funds and their operations is such that the potential exists for the Adviser to realize economies of scale in the management of the Funds as the Funds grow in size. They were also of the view that these economies of scale were being shared with the Funds by virtue of an advisory fee, set at a relatively low level since the inception of the Trust, that subsumed economies of scale in the fee itself. Furthermore, the Trustees took into consideration the fact that, in order to ensure that if and as the Funds grow in size the economies of scale resulting from this growth would be shared with the Funds, the Adviser and State Street had each previously agreed to institute breakpoints in their respective fee schedules, including adding additional breakpoints to the advisory fee and sub-administration fee in 2024 and 2025, respectively.
Comparison of Fees and Expense Ratios
In order better to evaluate the Funds’ advisory fee, the Independent Trustees requested information with respect to expense ratios and advisory fees of comparable funds, and the Adviser provided: (1) comparative data from Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”) on advisory fees and expense ratios of peer index ETFs with a similar sector investment classification/objective and comparable asset size (with respect to each Fund, a “peer group”), and (2) expense ratios of peer index ETFs with a similar sector investment classification/objective. The Independent Trustees also requested, and the Adviser provided, information on the advisory fees charged to other Adviser clients with comparable investment objectives, and reviewed the differences in services provided to such clients, including the Adviser’s institutional accounts. The Trustees found that, because of the distinctive nature of the Funds, the universe of comparable funds and accounts was limited. Moreover, they noted that because many ETFs pay a unitary advisory fee, encompassing all or virtually all of the ETFs’ operating expenses, while each Fund’s advisory fee covered only advisory services, as reflected in the materials, the Fund’s advisory fee may appear to be low relative to its ETF peers. The Trustees then reviewed each Fund’s expense ratios compared to those of its peer group and noted that the total expense ratio of each Fund was below the average of its peer group, but also noted that each Fund (other than The Real Estate Select Sector SPDR® Fund and The Technology Select Sector SPDR® Fund) was larger than all ETFs in its peer group. The Independent Trustees noted that this had prompted them in past years to request that new breakpoints be added to the fee schedules of both the Agreement and the unitary fee payable under the Sub-Administration

Agreement, Custodian Agreement and Transfer Agency Agreement. The Trustees noted that at current asset levels, shareholders are benefiting from breakpoints, and shareholders should continue to benefit in the future with additional growth in assets.
Conclusion
Based on their review, the Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, as required by the 1940 Act, concluded that the terms of the Agreement are fair and reasonable and that renewal of the Agreement is in the best interests of each Fund. In deciding to approve the renewal of the Agreement, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all important or controlling and considered all factors together, and the Board did not allot a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors. The Trustees concluded that the nature and extent of the services provided by the Adviser were appropriate, that the performance of the Funds had been satisfactory, and that the Adviser could be expected to provide services of high quality. As to the Adviser’s fees for each Fund, the Trustees determined that the fees, considered in relation to the services provided and the peer group’s fees, were fair and reasonable, that the Trust’s relationship with the Adviser and State Street was not so profitable as to render the fees at current asset levels excessive, that any additional benefits to the Adviser and/or State Street were not of a magnitude to materially affect the outcome of the Trustees’ conclusions, and that, especially in light of the breakpoints in the Adviser’s and State Street’s fee schedules, the fees paid reflected a sharing of economies of scale with the Funds.
