MAIRS & POWER FUNDS MARKET COMMENTARY (unaudited)
December 31, 2019
2019 was a year for the record books! On the heels of the worst December since the Great Depression, U.S. markets started 2019 with the best January performance in three decades and finished at record highs, posting returns that were among the best in the past 50 years.
Looking at its performance over the past three years illustrates the market's incredible ability to predict market fundamentals. In 2017, with the new Trump administration and a Republican controlled Congress enacting large tax cuts, investors anticipated tax-fueled earnings growth driving the market up 22% that year. Sure enough, in 2018 S&P 500 earnings were up 24%, driven by tax cuts and a strong economy. In 2018 however, despite strong earnings growth, the market was down 4% on the expectation that in 2019 companies would face tough comparisons as the tax induced earnings tail wind faded. Sure enough, 2019 earnings were down slightly through the first three quarters. But in 2019, despite no earnings growth, investors drove the market to record highs and one of the strongest finishes in recent memory in anticipation of a return to better growth in 2020.
For the fourth quarter and full year, the S&P 500 Total Return (TR) was 9.07%, and 31.49% respectively, the Dow Jones Industrial (TR) was 6.67% and 25.34%, and the Bloomberg Barclay's U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index was -0.01% and 9.71% respectively.
Future Outlook
The mood among investors is certainly confident, or should we say less worried.
For most of 2019, short term rates exceeded long term rates (an inverted treasury yield curve), creating fears of a recession. But in the fourth quarter, as the yield on longer maturity bonds moved up and the Fed (Federal Reserve) cut short term rates, we saw a return to a more familiar, positively sloped treasury yield curve, reducing investor anxiety. At the same time, several economic indicators began to improve. The Institute for Supply Management's (ISM) Index for the service sector, which represents two-thirds of the U.S. economy, is signaling continued expansion. Measures of consumer confidence remain high, job growth remains strong and confidence among homebuilders recently hit a 20- year high. An easing of trade tensions and fewer tariff barriers as the Phase One deal with China promises, should further support the earnings growth the market is counting on.
Not every sign is positive, however. A measure of large company CEO confidence hit its lowest level since Q1 of 2009, before recovering some recently. A similar survey of small and mid-sized company CEO confidence reported hitting an 8-year low. The ISM Manufacturing Index took an encouraging slight uptick late in the quarter, but remains stuck below 50%, indicating little growth in the manufacturing sector. Total vehicle sales (autos and light trucks) have remained flat since 2015. Valuations such as dividend yield, price-to-cash flow (PCF), and price-to-earnings (PE) remain above historic averages, making stocks overall somewhat expensive and putting a premium on stock selection.
One additional word of caution is in order. Given the strong finish to 2019, the market may be expecting earnings growth for 2020 even higher than the consensus of 8%, making the stock market vulnerable to disappointment or negative economic surprises.
Past Performance is not a guarantee of future results.

MAIRS & POWER GROWTH FUND (unaudited)
To Our Shareholders: December 31, 2019
The Mairs & Power Growth Fund gained 8.65% for the fourth quarter and was up 28.39% for the full year. The S&P 500 Total Return (TR) benchmark was up 9.07% and 31.49% while the Lipper Multi-Cap Core Funds Index was up 8.71% and 29.09% for the fourth quarter and full year respectively.
While the Fund underperformed compared to its benchmark and peers, this is typical in a strong market given our conservative approach. In fact, we only slightly lagged and view 2019 as a good year. Our overweight position in the Health Care sector, which has been under pressure, and our underweight position in Information Technology, which has been the top performing sector, hurt performance on a relative basis. Good stock selection in Health Care, Consumer Discretionary and Materials sectors contributed positively to performance for the full year. For the first time in recent memory value stocks outperformed growth stocks in the second half of the year, a positive sign which benefited the Fund. Conversely, small and midcap stocks underperformed large caps on a relative basis. With the Fund's multi-cap approach, this factor muted performance somewhat.
BioTechne (TECH) was a top contributor to performance for the year. After a period of declines or no growth, the company has posted a consistent 10%-plus growth rate over the past several quarters, and the stock has responded. The new management team has done an exceptional job in transforming the Minneapolis-based bio-tech firm over the last seven years by expanding its addressable market through acquisitions. One recent tuck-in acquisition, Exosome Diagnostics, introduced a new fluid (blood and urine) bioassay test for prostate cancer that they believe will improve diagnostic accuracy before a tissue biopsy is called for. Company management is enthusiastic about extending this diagnostic platform to cover other medical conditions. As we've said before, we believe the company has a long runway ahead of it.

MAIRS & POWER GROWTH FUND (unaudited) (continued)
Fiserv (FISV), a long time holding, was another top performer for the year. The Wisconsin-based financial services technology company successfully integrated its recent acquisition of First Data Corp. (FDC), resulting in strong financial performance and a solid move in the stock. This acquisition makes Fiserv a global leader in digital banking solutions, payment card processing, network services and e-commerce solutions for small regional and community banks.
On the flip side, two industrial sector names, 3M Company (MMM) and C.H. Robinson (CHRW), were among the major factors hurting performance for the year. 3M, one of the Fund's largest holdings, has struggled since it lowered its outlook early in the year due to slowing end markets, particularly automotive, China, and in consumer electronics. In addition, investors have expressed concerns about the company's ongoing environmental liabilities.
C.H. Robinson, a leading third-party logistics firm based in the Twin Cities, was hurt by market concerns that larger, better funded companies like Amazon (AMZN) and Uber (UBER), have announced moves into this space. We have been attracted to C.H. Robinson because we see their strategic investments in technology as giving them durable competitive advantages in operating efficiencies and customer retention. C.H. Robinson's asset light business model sets it apart in the space by focusing on technology and not capital spend on trucks, planes and distribution centers. We see the large tech companies as disruptive to traditional asset intense shippers, like UPS, but not C.H. Robinson and its asset light model.
We added a new name to the portfolio, Rockwell Automation (ROK), with a small position due to its leadership position in factory automation. As we have made the rounds of manufacturing companies as part of our research process, we noted that many were making capital investments in automation to help them deal with labor shortages and as a way to increase production with fewer workers. We think increasing automation is a permanent feature of ushering manufacturing companies into the future and Rockwell currently occupies a sweet spot in this space.
As we finish year 11 of the longest bull market in history at all-time highs, we are by some measures in unprecedented territory. Even so, the tools we have relied on in the past to evaluate risk and reward have continued to work and provide us with what we feel are attractive investment opportunities.

MAIRS & POWER BALANCED FUND (unaudited)
To Our Shareholders: December 31, 2019
The Balanced Fund gained 5.33% for the fourth quarter and 20.32% for the full year compared to its benchmark composite index (60% S&P 500 Total Return Index and 40% Bloomberg Barclay's U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index) which gained 5.38% for the quarter and 22.64% for the full year. Our peer group, the Morningstar Allocation 50%-70% Equity Category was 5.06% for the fourth quarter and 18.89% for the full year.
Our overweight position in the Health Care sector, which has been under pressure, and our underweight position in Information Technology, which has been the top performing sector, hurt performance on a relative basis for the year.
On an individual stock basis, Target Corp. (TGT) was among the top contributors to relative performance for the year as the Minneapolis-based retail giant benefited from moves it has been making over the past two years. The company has remodeled its stores and improved merchandising to drive traffic both to its brick and mortar locations and its on-line store, resulting in improved top and bottom-line performance. The stock reacted accordingly.
Another name contributing to relative performance for the year that deserves mention was Bio-Techne (TECH). After a period of declines or no growth, the company has posted a consistent 10%-plus growth rate over the past several quarters, and the stock has responded. The new management team has done an exceptional job in transforming the Minneapolis-based bio-tech firm over the last seven years by expanding its addressable market through acquisitions. One recent tuck-in acquisition, Exosome Diagnostics, introduced a new fluid (blood and urine) bioassay test for prostate cancer that they believe will improve diagnostic accuracy before a tissue biopsy is called for. Company management is enthusiastic about extending this diagnostic platform to cover other medical conditions. We believe the company has a long runway ahead of it.

On the flip side, two industrial sector names, 3M Company (MMM) and C.H. Robinson (CHRW), were among the major factors hurting performance for the year. 3M, one of the Fund's largest holdings, has struggled since it lowered its outlook early in the year due to slowing end markets, particularly automotive, China, and in consumer electronics. In addition, investors have expressed concerns about the company's ongoing environmental liabilities.
We added several new names to the Fund that also deserve highlighting. We took a small position in Rockwell Automation (ROK) due to its leadership position in factory automation. As we have made the rounds of manufacturing companies as part of our research process, we noted that many were making capital investments in automation to help them deal with labor shortages and as a way to increase production with fewer workers. We think increasing automation is a permanent feature of ushering manufacturing companies into the future and Rockwell currently occupies a sweet spot in this space.
After Sherwin Williams (SHW) acquired Twin Cities-based Valspar a few years ago, we watched them to see how they would capitalize on the move. Having been holders of Valspar and familiar with that company's strengths, we liked what we saw in the newly combined company and took a position earlier in the year. They have posted strong earnings growth and a solid return on invested capital (ROIC) as they have become an even stronger competitor in both residential and industrial coatings markets. They dwarf the nearest competition in retail store counts as they replaced their major rival, PPG Industries, Inc. (PPG), at the home improvement giant Lowe's Company (LOW). Since labor, not paint, is the major cost in any commercial or residential painting job and the customer base is highly fragmented, Sherwin Williams enjoys strong pricing power.
We also added a new name, CoreSite Realty Corporation (COR), to the Fund in the quarter. The Denver-based REIT (real estate investment trust) is an IT outsource provider operating multiple data centers across eight large U.S. metropolitan areas. As the demand for outsourced data center management has continued to show strong growth driven by the rising use of streaming video, adoption of next-generation 5G data networks and the growth of cloud-based computing applications, we feel the company is well positioned. Its strategic locations in major markets and a large and growing customer base, provide a sustainable competitive advantage with historically delivering an attractive growth rate and yield for investors.
We exited two large cap names in the fourth quarter, IBM Corporation (IBM) and Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM). In both instances, we determined the companies were seeing a deterioration in their respective durable competitive advantage. We did not like IBM's earnings profile going forward and we have been trading out of Exxon throughout the year into Chevron Corp. (CVX) as a more attractive integrated energy company investment.
On the fixed income side of the portfolio, the big market news was the return of a normal treasury yield curve, where longer maturity issues have a higher yield than shorter maturity debt. As the FED reversed course and began to ease short term rates, longer rates remained stable and fixed income securities in general saw a recovery from a difficult 2018. While U.S. government treasuries rose 7% overall, the market for corporate debt was up 14%. Our overweight allocation towards corporate debt helped the fixed income returns in 2019. Looking forward, the FED has indicated it will be "data driven" and move on interest rates only if and when indicators of inflation or unemployment prompt them to act. We anticipate rates will remain around their current levels as the FED sits on the sidelines.
As we finish year 11 of the longest bull market in history at all-time highs, we are by some measures in unprecedented territory. Even so, the tools we have relied on in the past to evaluate risk and reward have continued to work and provide us attractive investment opportunities.

The Fund's investment objective, risks, charges and expenses must be considered carefully before investing. The summary prospectus or full prospectus contains this and other important information about the Fund and they may be obtained by calling Shareholder Services at (800) 304-7404 or by visiting www.mairsandpower.com. Read the summary prospectus or full prospectus carefully before investing.
All holdings in the portfolio are subject to change without notice and may or may not represent current or future portfolio composition. The mention of specific securities is not intended as a recommendation or an offer of a particular security, nor is it intended to be a solicitation for the purchase or sale of any security.
All investments have risks. The Balanced Fund is designed for long-term investors. Equity investments are subject to market fluctuations and the Fund's share price can fall because of weakness in the broad market, a particular industry or specific holdings. Investments in small and midcap companies generally are more volatile. International investing risks include among others political, social or economic instability, difficulty in predicting international trade patterns, taxation and foreign trading practices, and greater fluctuations in price than U.S. corporations. The Fund is subject to yield and share price variances with changes in interest rates and market conditions. Investors should note that if interest rates rise significantly from current levels, bond total returns will decline and may even turn negative in the short-term. There is also a chance that some of the Fund's holdings may have their credit rating downgraded or may default.
Investments in debt securities typically decrease in value when interest rates rise. This risk is usually greater for longer-term debt securities. Investments in lower rated and non-rated securities present a greater risk of loss to principal and interest than higher rated securities.

MAIRS & POWER SMALL CAP FUND (unaudited)
To Our Shareholders: December 31, 2019
The Mairs & Power Small Cap Fund posted solid returns for the year as did the overall market. Even though absolute returns were very good, the Fund underperformed both its peer group and index for the fourth quarter and full year. The Fund returned 7.97% compared to 8.21% for the S&P Small Cap 600 Total Return (TR) Index and 8.02% for the Morningstar Small Blend Category of peer funds for the fourth quarter. For the full year, the Fund was up 21.13% versus 22.78% for the index and 23.51% for the peer group of funds.
Stock selection drove relative underperformance for both the quarter and the year. Sector selection had a slightly positive impact on relative performance with the Fund's underweight position in the poorly performing Energy sector along with an overweight position in the Industrial sector as primary contributors. Energy was the worst performing sector in the S&P 600 Index for the year.
The Fund holds a number of companies that posted tremendous stock performance during the year. Generac Holdings (GNRC) was up over 100% as their back-up power generator became must-have products during the year. Record setting hurricanes and widespread blackouts imposed by the California utility Pacific Gas & Electric (PCG) in an attempt to prevent wildfires both drove strong growth in demand that has excited investors. In addition, the company has made some smart acquisitions, tucking in small tech firms to expand beyond its traditional internal combustion engine generators to offer battery powered generators as well. Oshkosh Corp. (OSK) also posted great performance as the stock recovered from a decline in 2018. The Wisconsin-based truck manufacturer had been negatively affected by the China tariffs that were put in place in 2018 but the experienced management team was able, once again, to navigate through the challenges to their business and not really miss a beat.
Underperformance was driven by cyclical pressures at just a few companies we hold. Two of the biggest detractors from performance for the year were Marcus Corp. (MCS) and United Fire Group (UFCS).

Marcus, based in Milwaukee, is an entertainment company whose re-imagination of the theater business has really caught on with customers. Stadium seating, on-line ticketing and restaurant style food and beverage

MAIRS & POWER SMALL CAP FUND (unaudited) (continued)
offerings have made Marcus a favorite destination for people looking for a night of entertainment. Marcus's stock has pulled back after a great box office year (and stock performance) in 2018. The 2019 slate of movies was not as strong a box office draw. In addition, some investors have expressed concerns that Disney's (DIS) new streaming service, plus their strong pricing power, will hurt theater revenues. We think these concerns are overblown. Theaters will have 180 days to exhibit new titles before Disney streams them. This recognizes the value theaters bring to distributors in monetizing viewer eyeballs. Marcus continues to bring innovation to the theater experience as well as their hotel holdings, starting up the art themed Saint Kates in Milwaukee this year. We continue to hold Marcus.
United Fire Group is a relatively small fire and casualty insurer based in Iowa. While the company has been a steady performer in the insurance industry, they do experience volatility based on both catastrophes and underwriting performance. This year underwriting was tougher for them in the commercial auto space as the number of accidents was higher than expected and the severity (as measured by payout dollars) of the accidents was worse than projected. Many other insurers have also experienced a disappointing underwriting performance and attribute this to an increase in distracted driving along with an increase in the value of the automobiles on the road. United has taken pricing actions that we believe should restore their business to a more normal and healthy profit level but this will take a bit of time to work through. We believe they will be successful in these actions and continue to hold the stock.
In summary, 2019 was a solid year for stocks and for the Fund. We believe a number of the issues impacting our holdings are short-term in nature and will be cycled through fairly quickly. We have stuck with most of our holdings and in many cases added to positions on what we feel have been good opportunities to take advantage of short-term volatility. Only time will tell if our assessments are correct, but as we look to 2020, the one thing we feel strongly about is that there will be volatility in our companies' end markets, and we need strong hands at the wheel of the companies we own. We believe we have that. From a valuation perspective, small cap stocks are trading at a 7% discount to large (S&P 600 vs S&P 500). This is the cheapest small cap stocks have been on that measure in 15-plus years. So, we view this as a very interesting time to be looking at small cap. As always, we will continue to strive to invest in companies that have had strong competitive positions in their industries potentially allowing them to outperform over the long term.

All investments have risks. The Small Cap Fund is designed for long-term investors. Equity investments are subject to market fluctuations and the Fund's share price can fall because of weakness in the broad market, a particular industry or specific holdings. Investments in small and midcap companies generally are more volatile. International investing risks include among others political, social or economic instability, difficulty in predicting international trade patterns, taxation and foreign trading practices, and greater fluctuations in price than U.S. corporations. The Fund may invest in initial public offerings by small cap companies, which can involve greater risk than investments in companies that are already publicly traded.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2019
Note 1 – Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
Mairs & Power Funds Trust (the Trust) is a no-load, diversified, open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). Mairs & Power Growth Fund (the Growth Fund), Mairs & Power Balanced Fund (the Balanced Fund) and Mairs & Power Small Cap Fund (the Small Cap Fund) (individually a Fund and collectively the Funds) are series within the Trust. Mairs & Power, Inc. (the Adviser) is the investment adviser of each Fund. The objective of the Growth Fund is to provide shareholders with a diversified portfolio of common stocks, which have the potential for above-average, long-term appreciation. The objective of the Balanced Fund is to provide capital growth, current income and preservation of capital. The objective of the Small Cap Fund is to seek above-average, long-term appreciation. Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 "Financial Services – Investment Companies."
Significant accounting policies of the Funds are as follows:
Security Valuations
Security valuations for each Fund's investments are furnished by independent pricing services that have been approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees (the Board). Investments in listed equity securities are valued at the last quoted sale price on the securities exchange on which such securities are principally traded or at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price if readily available for such securities on each business day. Other equity securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed equity securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at the last quoted bid price. Debt obligations exceeding 60 days to maturity are valued at the bid price furnished by an independent pricing service. Debt obligations with 60 days or less remaining until maturity may be valued at the bid price furnished by an independent pricing service and in certain circumstances may be valued at their amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Pricing service prices for debt obligations are based on various evaluative and matrix-based methodologies and models that use market inputs such as market transactions, dealer quotations, benchmark yields and issuer, industry and economic events. These techniques generally consider overall market conditions and such factors as yields or prices of bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and ratings.
Debt securities for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service, but where an active market exists, are valued using market quotations obtained from two or more dealers that make markets in the securities. When market quotations are not readily available, or when the last quoted sale price is not considered representative of the value of the security if it were to be sold on that day, the security will be valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Fair Value Committee appointed by the Board, pursuant to procedures approved by the Board.
When determining the value of a security, the Fair Value Committee takes into consideration all indications of value that appear relevant under the particular circumstances, as well as fundamental analytical data relating to the security, the nature and duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the security, and the forces influencing the market in which the security is purchased or sold in addition to other more specific factors that may be applied on a case-by-case basis. Consequently, the value of the security used by a Fund may differ from a quoted or published price for the same security. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determined for the security is materially different than the value that could be realized upon the sale of that security. As of December 31, 2019, no securities were valued using this method.
Fair Valuation Measurements
The Trust has adopted authoritative fair valuation accounting standards, which establish a definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value and changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the year. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
• Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
39
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) December 31, 2019
Note 1 – Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Fair Valuation Measurements (continued)
• Level 2 – Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.).
• Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds' own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the securities held by each Fund as of December 31, 2019:
| | Growth Fund | | Balanced Fund | | Small Cap Fund | |
Level 1* | | $ | 4,616,552,668 | | | $ | 615,274,339 | | | $ | 437,288,540 | | |
Level 2** | | | - | | | | 309,099,249 | | | | - | | |
Level 3 | | | - | | | | - | | | | - | | |
Total | | $ | 4,616,552,668 | | | $ | 924,373,588 | | | $ | 437,288,540 | | |
* All Level 1 investments are equity securities (common stocks) and short-term investments.
** All Level 2 investments are fixed income securities.
For detail of securities by major sector classification for the Funds, please refer to the Schedules of Investments.
The Funds did not hold any level 3 investments during the year ended December 31, 2019.
Security Transactions and Investment Income
Security transactions are recorded on the date on which securities are purchased or sold. Dividend income and corporate action transactions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, including the accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums, is recorded on an accrual basis. Premiums and discounts are amortized using the effective interest method. Realized gains and losses are reported on an identified cost basis.
Income Taxes
Each Fund is a "regulated investment company" as defined in Subtitle A, Chapter 1, Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). No provisions have been made for federal income taxes as it is the intention of each Fund to comply with the provisions of the Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to make distributions of income and realized gains sufficient to relieve it from all or substantially all excise and income taxes.
As of December 31, 2019, the Trust did not have any tax positions that did not meet the "more-likely-than-not" threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Generally, tax authorities can examine all tax returns filed for the last three years.
As of December 31, 2019, none of the Funds had capital loss carryforwards nor did they have any qualified late year losses for federal tax purposes.
Basis of Presentation
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of net assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported results of operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
40
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) December 31, 2019
Note 1 – Organization and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Basis of Presentation (continued)
In preparing these financial statements, the Funds have evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were available to be issued. This evaluation did not result in any subsequent events that necessitated recognition of disclosures.
Expense Allocation
Common expenses incurred by the Trust are allocated among the Funds based on their relative net assets. Fund specific expenses are charged directly to the Fund that incurred the expense.
New Accounting Pronouncement
In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2017-08 "Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities", which amends the accounting standards to shorten the amortization period for the premium on certain purchased callable debt securities to the earliest call date. The ASU is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those years. The Trust has adopted this ASU during the current year.
Note 2 – Related-Party Transactions
Investment Management Fees
The Adviser provides investment management services and various administrative services to the Funds under a written agreement for Investment Counsel Service (the Investment Advisory Agreement) approved by the Board. Pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is paid a monthly fee on average daily net assets at the following annual rates:
| | Growth Fund | | Balanced Fund | | Small Cap Fund | |
Up to $2.5 Billion | | | 0.60 | % | | | 0.60 | % | | | 0.90 | % | |
Over $2.5 Billion | | | 0.50 | % | | | 0.60 | % | | | 0.90 | % | |
Trustees' Fees
The Funds pay compensation to the disinterested Trustees of the Trust. The Funds do not pay remuneration to officers or to Trustees who are officers, directors or employees of the Adviser or Trustees who are otherwise "interested persons" of the Trust.
Note 3 – Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that contain general indemnifications to other parties. The Trust's maximum exposure under these contracts is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. The Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.
Note 4 – Distributions Paid, Distributable Earnings and Investment Transactions
Net investment income and net realized capital gains (losses) may differ for financial reporting and tax purposes because of temporary or permanent book/tax differences.
In addition, GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent difference be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. The permanent differences primarily relate to utilization of earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares and distribution reclasses. These
41
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) December 31, 2019
Note 4 – Distributions Paid, Distributable Earnings and Investment Transactions (continued)
reclassifications have no effect on nets assets or net asset value per share. On the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, the following reclassifications were made for the year end ended December 31, 2019:
| | Distributable Earnings | | Paid in Capital | |
Growth Fund | | $ | (24,294,269 | ) | | $ | 24,294,269 | | |
Balanced Fund | | | (2,190,017 | ) | | | 2,190,017 | | |
Small Cap Fund | | | (1,362,963 | ) | | | 1,362,963 | | |
Distributions to shareholders are determined in accordance with income tax regulations that may differ from GAAP, and due to the timing of the distributions, the fiscal year in which the amounts are distributed may differ from the year that the income or realized gains (losses) were recorded by each Fund.
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, were as follows:
Year ended December 31, 2019 | |
Distributions paid from: | | Growth Fund | | Balanced Fund | | Small Cap Fund | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 55,405,543 | | | $ | 19,590,959 | | | $ | 1,830,885 | | |

Total distributions paid | | $ | 323,794,197 | | | $ | 42,417,915 | | | $ | 16,989,022 | | |
Ordinary income distributions include net short-term capital gains. The Funds are designating as long-term capital gain dividends, pursuant to Section 852(b)(3) of the Code, the amount necessary to reduce the earnings and profits of the Funds related to net capital gain to zero. To the extent necessary to fully distribute such capital gain, the Funds also designate earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on the redemption of shares.
At December 31, 2019, the components of accumulated earnings (losses) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | Growth Fund | | Balanced Fund | | Small Cap Fund | |
Cost of investments | | $ | 2,295,253,787 | | | $ | 651,015,496 | | | $ | 330,588,911 | | |
Gross unrealized appreciation | | $ | 2,352,857,589 | | | $ | 279,593,972 | | | $ | 127,515,959 | | |

Undistributed ordinary income | | $ | 986,019 | | | $ | 121,273 | | | $ | 198,591 | | |
Undistributed long-term capital gains | | | 84,512,099 | | | | 4,059,943 | | | | - | | |
Total distributable earnings | | $ | 85,498,118 | | | $ | 4,181,216 | | | $ | 198,591 | | |
Other accumulated earnings | | | - | | | | - | | | | - | | |
Total accumulated earnings | | $ | 2,406,796,999 | | | $ | 277,539,308 | | | $ | 106,898,220 | | |
The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of
Mairs & Power Funds Trust
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Mairs & Power Funds Trust (the Trust) (comprising Mairs & Power Growth Fund, Mairs & Power Balanced Fund and Mairs & Power Small Cap Fund (collectively referred to as the "Funds")), including the schedules of investments, as of December 31, 2019, and 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 each of the five years in the period then ended 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 comprising Mairs & Power Funds Trust at December 31, 2019, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and their financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on each of 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 Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits 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. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust's 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 Trust'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, 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 December 31, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of the Mairs & Power Funds Trust since 1958.

FUND EXPENSES (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs including redemption fees and (2) ongoing expenses for the operation of the Funds (e.g., asset-based charges, such as investment management fees). The Funds are "no-load" mutual funds. As a result, shareholders pay no commissions, fees, or expenses associated with sales representatives or sales charges.
This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The table below reports the Funds' expenses during the period July 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019 and includes the costs associated with a $1,000 investment.
Actual Expenses
The first line in the tables below may be used to estimate the actual expenses you paid over the reporting period. You can do this by dividing your account value by $1,000 and multiplying the result by the expense shown in the table below. For example, if your account value is $8,600, divided by $1,000 = $8.60. Multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period." By doing this you can estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example
The second line of the tables below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds' actual expenses and assumed returns of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds' actual returns. The results may be used to provide you with a basis for comparing the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds. To do so, compare these 5% hypothetical examples with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. Please note that these hypothetical examples highlight ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional fees, such as redemption fees. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. These hypothetical expense examples may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balances or expenses you paid during the period and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.
