Important Note. Beginning on January 1, 2021, as permitted by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, you may not receive paper copies of the Fund’s annual and semi-annual shareholder reports from the insurance company or plan sponsor unless you specifically request paper copies. Instead, the reports will be made available on a website and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website address to access the report. Instructions for requesting paper copies will be provided by the insurance company, plan sponsor or your financial intermediary, as applicable. Please contact the insurance company, plan sponsor or your financial intermediary, as applicable, or follow instructions included with this disclosure, if any, for more information.
Commodity Futures Trading Commission Registration. Effective December 31, 2012, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) adopted certain regulatory changes that subject registered investment companies and advisers to regulation by the CFTC if a fund invests more than a prescribed level of its assets in certain CFTC-regulated instruments (including futures, certain options and swap agreements) or markets itself as providing investment exposure to such instruments. The Fund has claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act. Accordingly, neither the Fund nor the adviser with respect to the operation of the Fund is subject to CFTC regulation. Because of its management of other strategies, the Fund’s adviser is registered with the CFTC as a commodity pool operator and a commodity trading advisor.
Fund shares are not insured by the FDIC and are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, any depository institution. Shares are subject to investment risks, including possible loss of principal invested.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance1
Economic and Market Conditions
For the12-month period ended December 31, 2019, the U.S. floating-rate loan market rebounded from weak performance the previous calendar year, with the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index (the Index),2 a broad barometer of the U.S. loan market, posting a total return of 8.64%.
Floating-rate loan performance was uneven during the period, with strong returns from the start of 2019 through April, loan-price declines for much of the next six months, and renewed loan-price appreciation in November and December.
Retail investor demand in the asset class was dampened by falling interest rates during the period, which were generally viewed as less favorable for floating-rate instruments. After holding interest rates steady through the first half of 2019, the U.S. Federal Reserve cut the federal funds rate to2.00%-2.25% in July — its first reduction in over a decade — followed by two additional rate cuts in September and October, to end the period at1.50%-1.75%. Lower rates are intended to help stimulate economic activity by making borrowing costs relatively more affordable.
For the period as a whole within the Index, higher quality6 loans outperformed lower quality issues withBB-,B-,CCC-, andD-rated (defaulted) loans in the Index returning 9.31%, 8.99%, 3.41%, and-18.22%, respectively. A key driver of performance during the period was the dominance of institutional structured product demand, which had an inherent preference for higher quality paper. The average loan price of the Index began the year at $93.8 and ended at $96.7.
Issuer fundamentals painted a benign picture during the period. The trailing12-month default rate began 2019 at 1.63% and fell to 1.39% atperiod-end — less than half the level of the market’s long-term average. Similarly, signs of market stress remained low with the percentage of loans within the Index trading below $80 — often referred to as the distress ratio — representing an average of approximately 4% during the period.
Fund Performance
For the12-month period ended December 31, 2019, Eaton Vance VT Floating-Rate Income Fund (the Fund) returned 7.08% for Initial Class shares at net asset value (NAV), underperforming its benchmark, the Index, which returned
8.64%. The Index is unmanaged, and returns do not reflect any applicable sales charges, commissions, or expenses.
The Fund has historically tended to maintain underweight exposures, relative to the Index, to lower credit quality segments of the market — positioning that management believes may help the Fund experience limited credit losses over the long run, albeit with a potentially lower average coupon yield than the Index in shorter time frames.
The Fund’s cash position detracted from performance versus the Index. While holding cash benefited performance versus the Index when loan prices were falling during the middle of the period, it detracted from relative results when loan prices rose during the early and late months of the period, and the overall effect of the Fund’s cash position was negative. The Index does not include cash.
Loan selection during the period also detracted from Fund returns relative to the Index, most notably in the home furnishings and financial intermediaries sectors. While loan selection in the electronics/electrical, telecommunications, and leisure goods/activities/movies industries contributed to performance versus the Index, the net effect of loan selection during the period was negative.
The Fund’s overweight exposure toBB-rated loans and underweight exposure toB-rated issues contributed to the Fund’s performance versus the Index. The Fund’s underweight toCCC-rated loans was beneficial to performance versus the Index as well.
The Fund’s underweight exposures to the commodity-related oil and gas and metals & mining industries contributed to relative performance versus the Index, as those sectors trailed the loan market at large.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Returns are historical and are calculated by determining the percentage change in net asset value (NAV) or offering price (as applicable) with all distributions reinvested. Investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance for periods less than or equal to one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, current Fund performance may be lower or higher than the quoted return.

Fund Expenses
Example: As a Fund shareholder, you incur ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of Fund investing and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (July 1, 2019 – December 31, 2019).
Actual Expenses: The first section of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, 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 first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes: The second section of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual Fund expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year (before expenses), which is not the actual Fund 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 the ongoing costs of investing in your Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect expenses and charges which are, or may be imposed under the variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy (variable contracts) (if applicable) through which your investment in the Fund is made. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs associated with an investment in vehicles which fund benefits under variable contracts and to qualified pension and retirement plans, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of investing in the Fund through variable contracts. In addition, if these expenses and charges imposed under the variable contracts were included, your costs would be higher.

Institutional Class | | $ | 1,000.00 | | | $ | 1,021.90 | | | $ | 3.36 | | | | 0.66 | % |
* | Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for the indicated Class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The Example assumes that the $1,000 was invested at the net asset value per share determined at the close of business on June 30, 2019. Expenses shown do not include insurance-related charges. |

The percentage shown for each investment category in the Portfolio of Investments is based on net assets.
| (1) | Senior floating-rate loans (Senior Loans) often require prepayments from excess cash flows or permit the borrowers to repay at their election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual remaining maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturities shown. However, Senior Loans will typically have an expected average life of approximately two to four years. Senior Loans typically have rates of interest which are redetermined periodically by reference to a base lending rate, plus a spread. These base lending rates are primarily the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and secondarily, the prime rate offered by one or more major United States banks (the “Prime Rate”). Base lending rates may be subject to a floor, or minimum rate. |
| (2) | Unfunded or partially unfunded loan commitments. The stated interest rate reflects the weighted average of the reference rate and spread for the funded portion, if any, and the commitment fees on the portion of the loan that is unfunded. At December 31, 2019, the total value of unfunded loan commitments is $474,169. See Note 1F for description. |
| (3) | For fair value measurement disclosure purposes, security is categorized as Level 3 (see Note 11). |
| (4) | The stated interest rate represents the weighted average interest rate at December 31, 2019 of contracts within the senior loan facility. Interest rates on contracts are primarily redetermined either weekly, monthly or quarterly by reference to the indicated base lending rate and spread and the reset period. |
| (5) | Amount is less than 0.05%. |
| (6) | This Senior Loan will settle after December 31, 2019, at which time the interest rate will be determined. |
| (7) | Issuer is in default with respect to interest and/or principal payments. For a variable rate security, interest rate has been adjusted to reflect non-accrual status. |
| (8) | Security exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These securities may be sold in certain transactions in reliance on an exemption from registration (normally to qualified institutional buyers). At December 31, 2019, the aggregate value of these securities is $25,661,456 or 4.0% of the Fund’s net assets. |

Notes to Financial Statements
1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance VT Floating-Rate Income Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of Eaton Vance Variable Trust (the Trust). The Trust is a Massachusetts business trust registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is to provide a high level of current income. The Fund offers Initial Class, ADV Class and Institutional Class shares, which are offered at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Each class represents a pro-rata interest in the Fund, but votes separately on class-specific matters and (as noted below) is subject to different expenses. Realized and unrealized gains and losses and net investment income and losses, other than class-specific expenses, are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses. The Fund is generally made available for purchase only to separate accounts established by participating insurance companies and qualified pension or retirement plans.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Fund. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP). The Fund is an investment company and follows accounting and reporting guidance in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946.
A Investment Valuation — The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or fair value of investments.
Senior Floating-Rate Loans. Interests in senior floating-rate loans (Senior Loans) for which reliable market quotations are readily available are valued generally at the average mean of bid and ask quotations obtained from a third party pricing service. Other Senior Loans are valued at fair value by the investment adviser under procedures approved by the Trustees. In fair valuing a Senior Loan, the investment adviser utilizes one or more of the valuation techniques described in (i) through (iii) below to assess the likelihood that the borrower will make a full repayment of the loan underlying such Senior Loan relative to yields on other Senior Loans issued by companies of comparable credit quality. If the investment adviser believes that there is a reasonable likelihood of full repayment, the investment adviser will determine fair value using a matrix pricing approach that considers the yield on the Senior Loan. If the investment adviser believes there is not a reasonable likelihood of full repayment, the investment adviser will determine fair value using analyses that include, but are not limited to: (i) a comparison of the value of the borrower’s outstanding equity and debt to that of comparable public companies; (ii) a discounted cash flow analysis; or (iii) when the investment adviser believes it is likely that a borrower will be liquidated or sold, an analysis of the terms of such liquidation or sale. In certain cases, the investment adviser will use a combination of analytical methods to determine fair value, such as when only a portion of a borrower’s assets are likely to be sold. In conducting its assessment and analyses for purposes of determining fair value of a Senior Loan, the investment adviser will use its discretion and judgment in considering and appraising relevant factors. Fair value determinations are made by the portfolio managers of the Fund based on information available to such managers. The portfolio managers of other funds managed by the investment adviser that invest in Senior Loans may not possess the same information about a Senior Loan borrower as the portfolio managers of the Fund. At times, the fair value of a Senior Loan determined by the portfolio managers of other funds managed by the investment adviser that invest in Senior Loans may vary from the fair value of the same Senior Loan determined by the portfolio managers of the Fund. The fair value of each Senior Loan is periodically reviewed and approved by the investment adviser’s Valuation Committee and by the Trustees based upon procedures approved by the Trustees. Junior Loans (i.e., subordinated loans and second lien loans) are valued in the same manner as Senior Loans.
Debt Obligations. Debt obligations are generally valued on the basis of valuations provided by third party pricing services, as derived from such services’ pricing models. Inputs to the models may include, but are not limited to, reported trades, executable bid and ask prices, broker/dealer quotations, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, interest rates, anticipated prepayments, benchmark curves or information pertaining to the issuer, as well as industry and economic events. The pricing services may use a matrix approach, which considers information regarding securities with similar characteristics to determine the valuation for a security. Short-term debt obligations purchased with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less for which a valuation from a third party pricing service is not readily available may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
Equity Securities. Equity securities listed on a U.S. securities exchange generally are valued at the last sale or closing price on the day of valuation or, if no sales took place on such date, at the mean between the closing bid and ask prices on the exchange where such securities are principally traded. Equity securities listed on the NASDAQ Global or Global Select Market generally are valued at the NASDAQ official closing price. Unlisted or listed securities for which closing sales prices or closing quotations are not available are valued at the mean between the latest available bid and ask prices or, in the case of preferred equity securities that are not listed or traded in the over-the-counter market, by a third party pricing service that uses various techniques that consider factors including, but not limited to, prices or yields of securities with similar characteristics, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, quotes of underlying common stock, issuer spreads, as well as industry and economic events.
Affiliated Fund. The Fund may invest in Eaton Vance Cash Reserves Fund, LLC (Cash Reserves Fund), an affiliated investment company managed by Eaton Vance Management (EVM). While Cash Reserves Fund is not a registered money market mutual fund, it conducts all of its investment activities in accordance with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. Investments in Cash Reserves Fund are valued at the closing net asset value per unit on the valuation day. Cash Reserves Fund generally values its investment securities based on available market quotations provided by a third party pricing service.
Fair Valuation. Investments for which valuations or market quotations are not readily available or are deemed unreliable are valued at fair value using methods determined in good faith by or at the direction of the Trustees of the Fund in a manner that most fairly reflects the security’s “fair value”, which is the amount that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale in the ordinary course. Each such determination is based on a consideration of relevant factors, which are likely to vary from one pricing context to another. These factors may include, but are not limited to, the type of security, the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition, the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies or entities, quotations or relevant information obtained from broker/dealers or other market participants, information

obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange-traded securities), an analysis of the company’s or entity’s financial statements, and an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold.
B Investment Transactions — Investment transactions for financial statement purposes are accounted for on a trade date basis. Realized gains and losses on investments sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
C Income — Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount. Fees associated with loan amendments are recognized immediately. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for dividends received in cash and/or securities. Distributions from investment companies are recorded as dividend income, capital gains or return of capital based on the nature of the distribution.
D Federal Taxes — The Fund’s policy is to comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute to shareholders each year substantially all of its net investment income, and all or substantially all of its net realized capital gains. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is necessary.
As of December 31, 2019, the Fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. The Fund files a U.S. federal income tax return annually after its fiscal year-end, which is subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years from the date of filing.
E Expenses — The majority of expenses of the Trust are directly identifiable to an individual fund. Expenses which are not readily identifiable to a specific fund are allocated taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the relative size of the funds.
F Unfunded Loan Commitments — The Fund may enter into certain loan agreements all or a portion of which may be unfunded. The Fund is obligated to fund these commitments at the borrower’s discretion. These commitments are disclosed in the accompanying Portfolio of Investments. At December 31, 2019, the Fund had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover these commitments.
G Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
H Indemnifications — Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its officers and Trustees may be indemnified against certain liabilities and expenses arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Under Massachusetts law, if certain conditions prevail, shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust (such as the Trust) could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. However, the Trust’s Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of liability on the part of Fund shareholders and the By-laws provide that the Trust shall assume, upon request by the shareholder, the defense on behalf of any Fund shareholders. Moreover, the By-laws also provide for indemnification out of Fund property of any shareholder held personally liable solely by reason of being or having been a shareholder for all loss or expense arising from such liability. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred.
2 Distributions to Shareholders and Income Tax Information
The Fund declares dividends daily to shareholders of record at the time of declaration. Distributions are generally paid monthly. Distributions of realized capital gains are made at least annually. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of the Fund at the net asset value as of the reinvestment date or, if an election is made on behalf of a separate account or qualified pension or retirement plan, to receive some or all of the distributions in cash. Distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. As required by U.S. GAAP, only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits are reported in the financial statements as a return of capital. Permanent differences between book and tax accounting relating to distributions are reclassified to paid-in capital. For tax purposes, distributions from short-term capital gains are considered to be from ordinary income.
The tax character of distributions declared for the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Year Ended December 31, | |
| | 2019 | | | 2018 | |
| | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 29,237,640 | | | $ | 27,103,189 | |

Notes to Financial Statements — continued
As of December 31, 2019, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated loss) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | |
| |
Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 3,988,992 | |
| |
Deferred capital losses | | $ | (7,828,928 | ) |
| |
Net unrealized depreciation | | $ | (11,260,088 | ) |
At December 31, 2019, the Fund, for federal income tax purposes, had deferred capital losses of $7,828,928 which would reduce its taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus would reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders, which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Fund of any liability for federal income or excise tax. The deferred capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of the Fund’s next taxable year and retain the same short-term or long-term character as when originally deferred. Of the deferred capital losses at December 31, 2019, $1,059,844 are short-term and $6,769,084 are long-term.
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of the Fund at December 31, 2019, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
| | | | |
| |
Aggregate cost | | $ | 661,390,177 | |
| |
Gross unrealized appreciation | | $ | 5,427,378 | |
| |
Gross unrealized depreciation | | | (16,687,466 | ) |
| |
Net unrealized depreciation | | $ | (11,260,088 | ) |
3 Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser fee is earned by Eaton Vance Management (EVM) as compensation for investment advisory services rendered to the Fund. The fee is computed at an annual rate of 0.575% of the Fund’s average daily net assets up to $1 billion, 0.525% on net assets of $1 billion but less than
$2 billion, and at reduced rates on daily net assets of $2 billion or more, and is payable monthly. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the investment adviser fee amounted to $3,900,529 or 0.575% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. EVM also serves as administrator of the Fund, but receives no compensation. Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), the Fund’s principal underwriter and an affiliate of EVM, received distribution fees (see Note 4).
Trustees and officers of the Fund who are members of EVM’s organization receive remuneration for their services to the Fund out of the investment adviser fee. Certain officers and Trustees of the Fund are officers of EVM.
4 Distribution Plan
The Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Initial Class shares (Initial Class Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Initial Class Plan, the Fund pays EVD a distribution fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Initial Class shares for the sale and distribution of Initial Class shares. Distribution fees paid or accrued to EVD for the year ended December 31, 2019 amounted to $1,681,890. Insurance companies receive such fees from EVD based on the value of shares held by such companies. The insurance companies through which investors hold shares of the Fund may also pay fees to third parties in connection with the sale of variable contracts and for services provided to variable contract owners. The Fund, EVM or EVD are not a party to these arrangements. Investors should consult the prospectus and statement of additional information for their variable contracts for a discussion of these payments. EVD may, at its expense, provide promotional incentives to dealers that sell variable insurance products.
Distribution fees are subject to the limitations contained in the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Rule 2341(d).
5 Shareholder Servicing Plan
The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has adopted a Shareholder Servicing Plan (Servicing Plan) for Initial Class and ADV Class. The Servicing Plan allows the Trust to enter into shareholder servicing agreements with insurance companies, investment dealers, broker/dealers or other financial intermediaries that provide shareholder services relating to Fund shares and their shareholders, including variable contract owners or plan participants with interests in the Fund. Under the Servicing Plan, the Fund may make payments at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of its average daily net assets attributable to each class that are subject to shareholder servicing agreements. No shareholder servicing fees are levied on shares owned by EVM, its affiliates, or their respective employees or clients and may be waived under certain other limited conditions. For the year ended December 31, 2019, shareholder servicing fees were equivalent to 0.25% per annum of each class’ average daily net assets and amounted to $1,664,784 and $13,875 for Initial Class and ADV Class, respectively.

6 Purchases and Sales of Investments

7 Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Fund’s Declaration of Trust permits the Trustees to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of beneficial interest (without par value). Such shares may be issued in a number of different series (such as the Fund) and classes. Transactions in Fund shares were as follows:

| | |
Net increase | | | 217,064 | | | | 50,053 | |
There were no transactions in Institutional Class shares for the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
At December 31, 2019, separate accounts of 3 insurance companies each owned more than 10% of the value of the outstanding shares of the Fund aggregating 69.0%.
8 Credit Facility
The Fund participates with other portfolios managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $875 million unsecured credit facility agreement (Agreement) with a group of banks, which is in effect through March 9, 2020. Borrowings are made by the Fund solely to facilitate the handling of unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Interest is payable on amounts borrowed overnight at the Federal Funds rate plus a margin and for all other amounts borrowed for longer periods at a base rate or LIBOR, plus a margin. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.15% on the daily unused portion of each lender’s commitment amount is allocated between the Fund and the other participating portfolios at the end of each quarter. Also included in interest expense and fees on the Statement of Operations is approximately $92,000 of amortization of upfront fees paid by the Fund in connection with the annual renewal of the Agreement. The unamortized balance of upfront fees at December 31, 2019 is $15,050 and is included in prepaid upfront fees on notes payable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Because the credit facility is not available exclusively to the Fund and the maximum amount is capped, it may be unable to borrow some or all of a requested amount at any particular time. The Fund did not have any significant borrowings during the year ended December 31, 2019.
9 Credit Risk
The Fund invests primarily in below investment grade floating-rate loans, which are considered speculative because of the credit risk of their issuers. Changes in economic conditions or other circumstances are more likely to reduce the capacity of issuers of these securities to make principal and interest payments. Such companies are more likely to default on their payments of interest and principal owed than issuers of investment grade bonds. An economic downturn generally leads to a higher non-payment rate, and a loan or other debt obligation may lose significant value before a default occurs. Lower rated investments also may be subject to greater price volatility than higher rated investments. Moreover, the specific collateral used to secure a loan may decline in value or become illiquid, which would adversely affect the loan’s value.

10 Investments in Affiliated Funds

11 Fair Value Measurements
Under generally accepted accounting principles for fair value measurements, a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the assumptions, referred to as inputs, is used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
• | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments |
• | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
• | | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including a fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
In cases where the inputs used to measure fair value fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At December 31, 2019, the hierarchy of inputs used in valuing the Fund’s investments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Asset Description | | Level 1 | | | Level 2 | | | Level 3* | | | Total | |
| | | | |
Senior Floating-Rate Loans (Less Unfunded Loan Commitments) | | $ | — | | | $ | 575,326,249 | | | $ | 3,016,069 | | | $ | 578,342,318 | |

* | None of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 assets, individually or collectively, had a material impact on the Fund. |
Level 3 investments at the beginning and/or end of the period in relation to net assets were not significant and accordingly, a reconciliation of Level 3 assets for the year ended December 31, 2019 is not presented.
12 Legal Proceedings
In May 2015, the Fund was served with an amended complaint filed in an adversary proceeding in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. The adversary proceeding was filed by the Motors Liquidation Company Avoidance Action Trust (“AAT”) against the former holders of a $1.5 billion term loan issued by General Motors Corp. (“GM”) in 2006 (the “Term Loan Lenders”) who received a full repayment of the term loan pursuant to a court order in the GM bankruptcy proceeding. The court order was made with the understanding that the term loan was fully secured at the time of GM’s bankruptcy filing in June 2009. The AAT sought (1) a determination from the Bankruptcy Court that the security interest held by the Term

Notes to Financial Statements — continued
Loan Lenders was not perfected at the time GM filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection and thus the Term Loan Lenders should have been treated in the same manner as GM’s unsecured creditors, (2) disgorgement of any interest payments made to the Term Loan Lenders within ninety days of GM’s filing for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection, and (3) disgorgement of the $1.5 billion term loan repayment that was made to the Term Loan Lenders. The value of the payment received under the term loan agreement by the Fund was approximately $5,763,000. In April 2019, the parties to the litigation reached a settlement agreement in principle, subject to Court approval. On June 12, 2019, the Court approved the settlement, and all claims and cross claims in the litigation were dismissed on July 2, 2019. The Fund did not suffer any loss to the Fund’s net asset value as a result of the settlement and recovered a portion of the attorney’s fees and costs incurred, which were previously expensed by the Fund.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Variable Trust and Shareholders of Eaton Vance VT Floating-Rate Income Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance VT Floating-Rate Income Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Variable Trust), including the portfolio of investments, as of December 31, 2019, the related statement 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 each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of December 31, 2019, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements and financial highlights 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 Fund 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 and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, 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 and financial highlights. 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 and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities and senior loans owned as of December 31, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian, brokers and selling or agent banks; when replies were not received from brokers and selling or agent banks, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
