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. Each Fund has claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act. Accordingly, neither the Funds nor the adviser with respect to the operation of the Funds is subject to CFTC regulation. Because of its management of other strategies, each 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.
This report must be preceded or accompanied by a current summary prospectus or prospectus.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance1
Economic and Market Conditions
As the fiscal year began on October 1, 2013, the municipal market was at the tail end of a significant selloff that started in May 2013, after then-U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) Chairman Ben Bernanke surprised the markets by indicating that the Fed’s $85 billion in monthly asset purchases could be tapered sooner than most investors had expected. Investors rushed to sell fixed-income assets in anticipation of rising rates, causing nearly every fixed-income asset class to decline in value.
Even after the Fed tried to temper its comments and calm the markets, heavy selling in municipals continued through the summer of 2013. Although selling of municipals abated somewhat in September, the municipal market continued to experience outflows from the beginning of the period on October 1 through December 2013.
But as 2014 began, municipals turned a corner. From January 1 through September 30, 2014, municipals rallied back from 2013 lows. Contrary to what many investors had expected, Treasury rates declined and municipal rates followed. A principal driver was a global “flight to quality,” as investors sought the relative safety of Treasurys in the face of increased geopolitical and economic risks overseas. In addition, strong demand for municipals, coupled with tight supply, created a favorable supply-demand imbalance that helped drive prices up and yields down. As investors searched for yield in a low-interest-rate environment, longer dated and lower credit quality bonds were the best performers. For the one-year period as a whole, long-term municipal rates declined while short-term rates were essentially flat.
Fund Performance
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, AMT-Free Municipal Income Fund and National Municipal Income Fund Class A shares at net asset value (NAV) both outperformed the 7.93% return of the Funds’ primary benchmark, the Barclays Municipal Bond Index2 (the Index).
The Funds’ overall strategy is to invest primarily in bonds with maturities of 10 years or more, in order to capture their typically higher yields and a greater income stream compared with shorter-maturity issues.
Management employs leverage through Residual Interest Bond (RIB) financing6 in seeking to enhance the Funds’
tax-exempt income. The use of leverage has the effect of achieving additional exposure to the municipal market and thus magnifying a fund’s exposure to its underlying investments in both up and down market environments. During this period of falling rates and strong performance by municipal bonds, the use of leverage was a positive contributor to performance versus the Index – which does not employ leverage – for both Funds.
By using Treasury futures and/or interest-rate swaps, management hedges to various degrees against the greater potential risk of volatility caused by the use of leverage and investing in bonds at the long end of the yield curve. As a risk management tactic within the Funds’ overall strategy, interest rate hedging is intended to moderate performance on both the upside and the downside of the market. During this period of strong performance by municipal bonds, the Funds’ Treasury futures hedge mitigated some of the upside and thus detracted modestly from the Funds’ performance relative to the unhedged Index.
Fund-specific Results
Eaton Vance AMT-Free Municipal Income Fund Class A shares at NAV returned 12.63%, outperforming the 7.93% return of the Index. The chief contributors to results relative to the Index included leverage, as noted above, as well as an overweight in bonds with 20 to 30 years remaining to maturity, an overweight and security selection in the transportation sector, and an overweight in zero coupon bonds, which were the best-performing coupon structure during the period. In contrast, the Fund’s hedging strategy, an overweight in pre-refunded, or escrowed, bonds, and an underweight in bonds with 30 or more years remaining to maturity all detracted from performance versus the Index.
Eaton Vance National Municipal Income Fund Class A shares at NAV returned 12.89%, outperforming the 7.93% return of the Index. Leverage, an overweight in bonds with 20 or more years remaining to maturity, an overweight in zero coupon bonds, and an overweight and security selection in the transportation sector all contributed to performance relative to the Index. Detractors from results versus the Index included the Fund’s hedging strategy, an underweight in California bonds, and security selection in BBB-rated7 bonds.

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 less than one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. Returns are before taxes unless otherwise noted.

1 | The views expressed in this report are those of the portfolio manager(s) and are current only through the date stated at the top of this page. These views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions, and Eaton Vance and the Fund(s) disclaim any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied upon as investment advice and, because investment decisions are based on many factors, may not be relied upon as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Eaton Vance fund. This commentary may contain statements that are not historical facts, referred to as “forward looking statements”. The Fund’s actual future results may differ significantly from those stated in any forward looking statement, depending on factors such as changes in securities or financial markets or general economic conditions, the volume of sales and purchases of Fund shares, the continuation of investment advisory, administrative and service contracts, and other risks discussed from time to time in the Fund’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. |
2 | Barclays Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of municipal bonds traded in the U.S. Barclays Long (22+) Year Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of municipal bonds traded in the U.S. with maturities of 22 years or more. Unless otherwise stated, index returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charges, commissions, expenses, taxes or leverage, as applicable. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. |
3 | Total Returns at NAV do not include applicable sales charges. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Total Returns shown with maximum sales charge reflect the stated maximum sales charge. Unless otherwise stated, performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares. |
| Performance prior to the inception date of a class may be linked to the performance of an older class of the Fund. This linked performance is adjusted for any applicable sales charge, but is not adjusted for class expense differences. If adjusted for such differences, the performance would be different. Performance presented in the financial highlights included in the financial statements is not linked. In the performance table, the performance of Class C is linked to Class B. Performance since inception for an index, if presented, is the performance since the Fund’s or oldest share class’ inception, as applicable. |
4 | Total annual operating expense ratios are as stated in the Fund’s most recent prospectus. Net expense ratio excludes interest expense relating to the Fund’s liability with respect to floating rate notes held by third parties in conjunction with residual interest bond transactions by the Fund. The Fund also records offsetting interest income in an amount equal to this expense relating to the municipal obligations underlying such transactions and, as a result, net asset value and performance have not been affected by this expense. |
5 | The Distribution Rate is based on the Fund’s last regular distribution per share in the period (annualized) divided by the Fund’s NAV at the end of the period. The Fund’s distributions may be comprised of amounts characterized for federal income tax purposes as tax-exempt income, qualified and non-qualified ordinary dividends, capital gains and nondividend distributions, also known as return of capital. The Fund will determine the federal income tax character of distributions paid to a shareholder after the end of the calendar year. This is reported on the IRS form 1099- DIV and provided to the shareholder shortly after each year-end. The Fund’s distributions are determined by the investment adviser based on its current assessment of the Fund’s long-term return potential. As portfolio and market conditions change, the rate of distributions paid by the Fund could change. Taxable-equivalent performance is based on the highest combined federal and state income tax rates, where applicable. Lower tax rates would result in lower tax-equivalent performance. Actual tax rates will vary depending on your income, exemptions and deductions. Rates do not include local taxes. SEC Yield is a standardized measure based on the estimated yield to maturity of a fund’s investments over a 30-day period and is based on the maximum offer price at the date specified. The SEC Yield is not based on the distributions made by the Fund, which may differ. |
6 | Fund employs RIB financing. The leverage created by RIB investments provides an opportunity for increased income but, at the same time, creates special risks (including the likelihood of greater volatility of NAV). The cost of leverage rises and falls with changes in short-term interest rates. See “Floating Rate Notes Issued in Conjunction with Securities Held” in the notes to the financial statements for more information about RIB financing. RIB leverage represents the amount of Floating Rate Notes outstanding at period end as a percentage of Fund net assets plus Floating Rate Notes. |
7 | Ratings are based on Moody’s, S&P or Fitch, as applicable. If securities are rated differently by the ratings agencies, the higher rating is applied. Ratings, which are subject to change, apply to the creditworthiness of the issuers of the underlying securities and not to the Fund or its shares. Credit ratings measure the quality of a bond based on the issuer’s creditworthiness, with ratings ranging from AAA, being the highest, to D, being the lowest based on S&P’s measures. Ratings of BBB or higher by S&P or Fitch (Baa or higher by Moody’s) are considered to be investment- grade quality. Credit ratings are based largely on the ratings agency’s analysis at the time of rating. The rating assigned to any particular security is not necessarily a reflection of the issuer’s current financial condition and does not necessarily reflect its assessment of the volatility of a security’s market value or of the liquidity of an investment in the security. Holdings designated as “Not Rated” are not rated by the national ratings agencies stated above. |
8 | The chart includes the municipal bonds held by a trust that issues residual interest bonds, consistent with the Portfolio of Investments. |

Fund Expenses
Example: As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) 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 (April 1, 2014 – September 30, 2014).
Actual Expenses: The first section of each 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 each 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 each table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of each table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance AMT-Free Municipal Income Fund (AMT-Free Fund) and Eaton Vance National Municipal Income Fund (National Fund) (each individually referred to as the Fund, and collectively, the Funds) are a diversified series of Eaton Vance Mutual Funds Trust and Eaton Vance Municipals Trust, respectively (collectively, the Trusts). The Trusts are Massachusetts business trusts registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as open-end management investment companies. The Funds’ investment objective is to provide current income exempt from regular federal income tax. The Funds offer four classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class B and Class C shares are sold at net asset value and are generally subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 5). Class I shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Class B shares of each Fund automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after their purchase as described in each Fund’s prospectus. Beginning January 1, 2012, Class B shares are only available for purchase upon exchange from another Eaton Vance fund or through reinvestment of distributions. 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 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. Net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of the value of each class’s paid shares to the total value of all paid shares. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Funds. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Each 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.
Debt Obligations. Debt obligations (including short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of more than sixty days) 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 asked 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 obligations purchased with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
Derivatives. Financial futures contracts are valued at the closing settlement price established by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
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 a Fund in a manner that fairly reflects the security’s value, or the amount that a 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 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 entity’s financial condition, 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 and Related Income — 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. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount.
C Federal Taxes — Each 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 taxable, if any, and tax-exempt 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. Each Fund intends to satisfy conditions which will enable it to designate distributions from the interest income generated by its investments in non-taxable municipal securities, which are exempt from regular federal income tax when received by each Fund, as exempt-interest dividends. For National Fund, the portion of such interest, if any, earned on private activity bonds issued after August 7, 1986, may be considered a tax preference item to shareholders.
At September 30, 2014, the Funds, for federal income tax purposes, had capital loss carryforwards and deferred capital losses which will reduce the respective Fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus will reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders, which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Funds of any liability for federal income or excise tax. The deferred capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of the Funds’ next taxable year, retaining the same short-term or

long-term character as when originally deferred, and are treated as realized prior to the utilization of the capital loss carryforward. The amounts and expiration dates of the capital loss carryforwards, whose character is short-term, and the amounts of the deferred capital losses are as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Expiration Date | | AMT-Free Fund | | | National Fund | |
| | |

Total capital loss carryforward | | $ | 102,882,431 | | | $ | 925,769,551 | |
| | |
Deferred capital losses | | | | | | | | |
Short-term | | $ | 13,989,515 | | | $ | 178,038,326 | |
Long-term | | $ | 19,186,298 | | | $ | 218,786,721 | |
Included in the amounts above for National Fund is a capital loss carryforward of $12,407,106 as a result of the reorganizations on June 27, 2014 (see Note 12) and a capital loss carryforward of $18,149,382 as a result of the reorganizations which occurred in prior years. Utilization of these capital loss carryforwards may be limited in accordance with certain income tax regulations.
As of September 30, 2014, the Funds had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each 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.
D Expenses — The majority of expenses of the Trusts 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.
E Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Funds. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance each Fund maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce each Fund’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statements of Operations.
F Legal Fees — Legal fees and other related expenses incurred as part of negotiations of the terms and requirement of capital infusions, or that are expected to result in the restructuring of, or a plan of reorganization for, an investment are recorded as realized losses. Ongoing expenditures to protect or enhance an investment are treated as operating expenses.
G Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 each 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 Funds. Under Massachusetts law, if certain conditions prevail, shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust (such as a Trust) could be deemed to have personal liability for the obligations of the Trust. However, each 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 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, each Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against each Fund that have not yet occurred.
I Floating Rate Notes Issued in Conjunction with Securities Held — The Funds may invest in residual interest bonds, also referred to as inverse floating rate securities, whereby a Fund may sell a variable or fixed rate bond to a broker for cash. At the same time, the Fund buys a residual interest in the assets and cash flows of a Special-Purpose Vehicle (the SPV), (which is generally organized as a trust), set up by the broker. The broker deposits a bond into the SPV with the same CUSIP number as the bond sold to the broker by the Fund, and which may have been, but is not required to be, the bond purchased from the Fund (the Bond). The SPV also issues floating rate notes (Floating Rate Notes) which are sold to third-parties. The residual interest bond held by a Fund gives the Fund the right (1) to cause the holders of the Floating Rate Notes to generally tender their notes at par, and (2) to have the broker transfer the Bond held by the SPV to the Fund, thereby terminating the SPV. Should the Fund exercise such right, it would generally pay the broker the par amount due on the Floating Rate Notes and exchange the residual interest bond for the underlying Bond. Pursuant to generally accepted accounting

principles for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishment of liabilities, the Funds account for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the Bond in their Portfolio of Investments and the Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption “Payable for floating rate notes issued” in their Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Floating Rate Notes have interest rates that generally reset weekly and their holders have the option to tender their notes to the broker for redemption at par at each reset date. Accordingly, the fair value of the payable for floating rate notes issued approximates its carrying value. If measured at fair value, the payable for floating rate notes would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 11) at September 30, 2014. Interest expense related to the Funds’ liability with respect to Floating Rate Notes is recorded as incurred. The SPV may be terminated by the Fund, as noted above, or by the broker upon the occurrence of certain termination events as defined in the trust agreement, such as a downgrade in the credit quality of the underlying Bond, bankruptcy of or payment failure by the issuer of the underlying Bond, the inability to remarket Floating Rate Notes that have been tendered due to insufficient buyers in the market, or the failure by the SPV to obtain renewal of the liquidity agreement under which liquidity support is provided for the Floating Rate Notes up to one year. At September 30, 2014, the amounts of the Funds’ Floating Rate Notes and related interest rates and collateral were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | AMT-Free Fund | | | National Fund | |
| | |
Floating Rate Notes Outstanding | | $ | 46,685,000 | | | $ | 460,200,000 | |
Interest Rate or Range of Interest Rates (%) | | | 0.04 - 0.05 | | | | 0.04 - 0.24 | |
Collateral for Floating Rate Notes Outstanding | | $ | 76,305,807 | | | $ | 709,093,068 | |
For the year ended September 30, 2014, the Funds’ average Floating Rate Notes outstanding and the average interest rate including fees were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | AMT-Free Fund | | | National Fund | |
| | |
Average Floating Rate Notes Outstanding | | $ | 48,759,932 | | | $ | 496,565,658 | |
Average Interest Rate | | | 0.65 | % | | | 0.66 | % |
The Funds may enter into shortfall and forbearance agreements with the broker by which a Fund agrees to reimburse the broker, in certain circumstances, for the difference between the liquidation value of the Bond held by the SPV and the liquidation value of the Floating Rate Notes, as well as any shortfalls in interest cash flows. The Funds had no shortfalls as of September 30, 2014.
The Funds may also purchase residual interest bonds from brokers in a secondary market transaction without first owning the underlying bond. Such transactions are not required to be treated as secured borrowings. Shortfall agreements, if any, related to residual interest bonds purchased in a secondary market transaction are disclosed in the Portfolio of Investments.
The Funds’ investment policies and restrictions expressly permit investments in residual interest bonds. Such bonds typically offer the potential for yields exceeding the yields available on fixed rate bonds with comparable credit quality and maturity. These securities tend to underperform the market for fixed rate bonds in a rising long-term interest rate environment, but tend to outperform the market for fixed rate bonds when long-term interest rates decline. The value and income of residual interest bonds are generally more volatile than that of a fixed rate bond. The Funds’ investment policies do not allow the Funds to borrow money except as permitted by the 1940 Act. Management believes that the Funds’ restrictions on borrowing money and issuing senior securities (other than as specifically permitted) do not apply to Floating Rate Notes issued by the SPV and included as a liability in the Funds’ Statement of Assets and Liabilities. As secured indebtedness issued by an SPV, Floating Rate Notes are distinct from the borrowings and senior securities to which the Funds’ restrictions apply. Residual interest bonds held by the Funds are securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933.
On December 10, 2013, five U.S. federal agencies published final rules implementing section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Volcker Rule”). The Volcker Rule prohibits banking entities from engaging in proprietary trading of certain instruments and limits such entities’ investments in, and relationships with, covered funds, as defined in the rules. The compliance date for the Volcker Rule is July 21, 2015. The Volcker Rule may preclude banking entities and their affiliates from (i) sponsoring residual interest bond programs (as such programs are presently structured) and (ii) continuing relationships with or services for existing residual interest bond programs. As a result, residual interest bond trusts may need to be restructured or unwound. There can be no assurances that residual interest bond trusts can be restructured, that new sponsors of residual interest bond programs will develop, or that alternative forms of leverage will be available to the Funds. The effects of the Volcker Rule may make it more difficult for the Funds to maintain current or desired levels of leverage and may cause the Funds to incur additional expenses to maintain their leverage.
J Financial Futures Contracts — Upon entering into a financial futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit with the broker, either in cash or securities, an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin). Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the financial futures contracts. Should market conditions change unexpectedly,
Eaton Vance
Municipal Income Funds

Notes to Financial Statements — continued
the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss. Futures contracts have minimal counterparty risk as they are exchange traded and the clearinghouse for the exchange is substituted as the counterparty, guaranteeing counterparty performance.
K When-Issued Securities and Delayed Delivery Transactions — The Funds may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. At the time the transaction is negotiated, the price of the security that will be delivered is fixed. The Funds maintain security positions for these commitments such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payments upon settlement. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and begin earning interest on settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
L Statement of Cash Flows — The cash amount shown in the Statement of Cash Flows of a Fund is the amount included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and represents the unrestricted cash on hand at its custodian and does not include any short-term investments.
2 Distributions to Shareholders
The net investment income of each Fund is determined daily and substantially all of the net investment income so determined is declared as a dividend to shareholders of record at the time of declaration. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are paid monthly. Distributions of realized capital gains (reduced by available capital loss carryforwards) are made at least annually. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of a Fund at the net asset value as of the reinvestment date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. The Funds distinguish between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be 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 September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Year Ended September 30, 2014 | |
| | AMT-Free Fund | | | National Fund | |
| | |
Distributions declared from: | | | | | | | | |
Tax-exempt income | | $ | 15,150,557 | | | $ | 158,315,622 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 25,889 | | | $ | 5,442,297 | |
| | |
| | | | | | | | |
| | Year Ended September 30, 2013 | |
| | AMT-Free Fund | | | National Fund | |
| | |
Distributions declared from: | | | | | | | | |
Tax-exempt income | | $ | 18,624,250 | | | $ | 211,242,408 | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 28,334 | | | $ | 8,556,109 | |
During the year ended September 30, 2014, the following amounts were reclassified due to expired capital loss carryforwards, limitations on acquired capital loss carryforwards and differences between book and tax accounting, primarily for accretion of market discount.
| | | | | | | | |
| | AMT-Free Fund | | | National Fund | |
|
Change in: | |
Paid-in capital | | $ | — | | | $ | (2,104,350 | ) |
Accumulated net realized loss | | $ | 69,904 | | | $ | (474,047 | ) |
Accumulated undistributed net investment income | | $ | (69,904 | ) | | $ | 2,578,397 | |
These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Funds.

Municipal Income Funds
September 30, 2014
Notes to Financial Statements — continued
As of September 30, 2014, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | AMT-Free Fund | | | National Fund | |
| | |
Undistributed tax-exempt income | | $ | 1,740,557 | | | $ | 12,770,376 | |
Capital loss carryforward and deferred capital losses | | $ | (136,058,244 | ) | | $ | (1,322,594,598 | ) |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 42,199,065 | | | $ | 323,322,700 | |
Other temporary differences | | $ | (201,919 | ) | | $ | (2,035,589 | ) |
The differences between components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to wash sales, futures contracts, residual interest bonds, accretion of market discount, expenditures on defaulted bonds, defaulted bond interest and the timing of recognizing distributions to shareholders.
3 Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser fee is earned by Eaton Vance Management (EVM) for AMT-Free Fund and Boston Management and Research (BMR), a subsidiary of EVM, for National Fund as compensation for management and investment advisory services rendered to each Fund. The fee is based upon a percentage of average daily net assets plus a percentage of gross income (i.e., income other than gains from the sale of securities) as presented in the following table and is payable monthly.
| | | | | | | | |
Daily Net Assets | | Annual Asset Rate | | | Daily Income Rate | |
| | |
Up to $500 million | | | 0.300 | % | | | 3.00 | % |
$500 million up to $1 billion | | | 0.275 | | | | 2.75 | |
$1 billion up to $1.5 billion | | | 0.250 | | | | 2.50 | |
$1.5 billion up to $2 billion | | | 0.225 | | | | 2.25 | |
$2 billion up to $3 billion | | | 0.200 | | | | 2.00 | |
$3 billion and over | | | 0.175 | | | | 1.75 | |
For the year ended September 30, 2014, investment adviser fees incurred by the Funds and the effective annual rates, as a percentage of average daily net assets, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | AMT-Free Fund | | | National Fund | |
| | |
Investment Adviser Fee | | $ | 1,590,475 | | | $ | 12,534,922 | |
Effective Annual Rate | | | 0.46 | % | | | 0.36 | % |
EVM serves as administrator of each Fund, but receives no compensation. EVM provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Funds pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of EVM and the Funds’ principal underwriter, received a portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares of the Funds. EVD also received distribution and service fees from Class A, Class B and Class C shares (see Note 4) and contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5). Sub-transfer agent fees earned by EVM, which are included in transfer and dividend disbursing agent fees on the Statements of Operations, and Class A sales charges that the Funds were informed were received by EVD for the year ended September 30, 2014 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | AMT-Free Fund | | | National Fund | |
| | |
EVM’s Sub-Transfer Agent Fees | | $ | 5,095 | | | $ | 53,120 | |
EVD’s Class A Sales Charges | | $ | 15,314 | | | $ | 172,398 | |

Trustees and officers of the Funds who are members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations receive remuneration for their services to the Funds out of the investment adviser fee. Trustees of the Funds who are not affiliated with the investment advisers may elect to defer receipt of all or a percentage of their annual fees in accordance with the terms of the Trustees Deferred Compensation Plan. For the year ended September 30, 2014, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Funds are officers of the above organizations.
4 Distribution Plans
Each Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class A Plan, each Fund pays EVD a distribution and service fee of 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to each Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued to EVD for the year ended September 30, 2014 for Class A shares amounted to the following:
| | | | | | | | |
| | AMT-Free Fund | | | National Fund | |
| | |
Class A Distribution and Service Fees | | $ | 535,193 | | | $ | 5,184,942 | |
Each Fund also has in effect distribution plans for Class B shares (Class B Plan) and Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class B and Class C Plans, each Fund pays EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the respective Funds. For the year ended September 30, 2014, the Funds paid or accrued to EVD the following distribution fees:
| | | | | | | | |
| | AMT-Free Fund | | | National Fund | |
| | |
Class B Distribution Fees | | $ | 16,441 | | | $ | 370,109 | |
Class C Distribution Fees | | $ | 286,479 | | | $ | 4,778,382 | |
Pursuant to the Class B and Class C Plans, each Fund also makes payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons in amounts equal to 0.25% per annum of the average daily net assets attributable to that class. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. They are separate and distinct from the sales commissions and distribution fees payable to EVD. Service fees paid or accrued for the year ended September 30, 2014 amounted to the following:
| | | | | | | | |
| | AMT-Free Fund | | | National Fund | |
| | |
Class B Service Fees | | $ | 5,480 | | | $ | 123,370 | |
Class C Service Fees | | $ | 95,493 | | | $ | 1,592,794 | |
5 Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) generally is imposed on redemptions of Class B shares made within six years of purchase and on redemptions of Class C shares made within one year of purchase. Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within eighteen months of purchase (depending on the circumstances of purchase). Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions. The CDSC for Class B shares is imposed at declining rates that begin at 5% in the case of redemptions in the first and second year after purchase, declining one percentage point each subsequent

8 Federal Income Tax Basis of Investments
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of each Fund at September 30, 2014, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | AMT-Free Fund | | | National Fund | |
| | |
Aggregate cost | | $ | 285,425,688 | | | $ | 3,018,138,942 | |
Gross unrealized appreciation | | $ | 43,799,971 | | | $ | 351,870,461 | |
Gross unrealized depreciation | | | (1,600,906 | ) | | | (28,547,761 | ) |
| | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 42,199,065 | | | $ | 323,322,700 | |
9 Line of Credit
The Funds participate with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $750 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks. Borrowings are made by the Funds solely to facilitate the handling of unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Interest is charged to each Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Eurodollar rate or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.08% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Funds, a Fund may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time. The Funds did not have any significant borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended September 30, 2014.
10 Financial Instruments
The Funds may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of their investing activities. These financial instruments may include financial futures contracts and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement

purposes. The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the investment a Fund has in particular classes of financial instruments and do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered.
A summary of obligations under these financial instruments at September 30, 2014 is as follows:

At September 30, 2014, the Funds had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
Each Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. Because the Funds hold fixed-rate bonds, the value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. The Funds purchase and sell U.S. Treasury futures contracts to hedge against changes in interest rates.
The fair values of open derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) and whose primary underlying risk exposure is interest rate risk at September 30, 2014 were as follows:

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.
Ÿ | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments |
Ÿ | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
Ÿ | | 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 September 30, 2014, the hierarchy of inputs used in valuing the Funds’ investments and open derivative instruments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

12 Reorganizations
As of the close of business on June 27, 2014, the Fund acquired the net assets of Eaton Vance Alabama Municipal Income Fund (Alabama Fund), Eaton Vance Arkansas Municipal Income Fund (Arkansas Fund), Eaton Vance Kentucky Municipal Income Fund (Kentucky Fund) and Eaton Vance Tennessee Municipal Income Fund (Tennessee Fund) pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by the shareholders of Alabama Fund, Arkansas Fund, Kentucky Fund and Tennessee Fund, respectively. The purpose of the transaction was to combine five funds managed by BMR with substantially similar investment objectives and policies. The acquisitions were accomplished by a tax-free exchange of shares of Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I of the Fund for shares of Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I of Alabama Fund, Arkansas Fund, Kentucky Fund and Tennessee Fund, respectively, each outstanding on June 27, 2014 as follows:

The investment portfolios of Alabama Fund, Arkansas Fund, Kentucky Fund and Tennessee Fund, with a fair value of $38,863,121, $50,565,357, $45,250,238 and $34,791,586, respectively, and identified cost of $36,052,796, $48,439,943, $42,026,544 and $33,403,232, respectively, were the principal assets acquired by the Fund. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the identified cost of the investments received from Alabama Fund, Arkansas Fund, Kentucky Fund and Tennessee Fund were carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. The aggregate net assets of the Fund immediately before the acquisition were $3,326,647,761. The net assets of Alabama Fund, Arkansas Fund, Kentucky Fund and Tennessee Fund at that date of $42,526,545, $53,394,011, $46,395,534 and $36,622,831, respectively, including $2,989,917, $7,112,190, $2,273,833 and $6,719,288 of accumulated net realized losses, respectively, and $2,810,325, $2,125,414, $3,223,694 and $1,388,354 of unrealized appreciation, respectively, were combined with those of the Fund, resulting in combined net assets of $3,505,586,682.
Assuming the acquisitions had been completed on October 1, 2013, the beginning of the Fund’s annual reporting period, the Fund’s pro forma results of operations for the year ended September 30, 2014 are as follows:
| | | | |
Net investment income | | $ | 166,228,357 | |
Net realized gain | | $ | 23,408,511 | |
Net increase in net assets from operations | | $ | 418,670,891 | |
Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisitions were completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of Alabama Fund, Arkansas Fund, Kentucky Fund and Tennessee Fund that have been included in the Fund’s Statement of Operations since June 27, 2014.

Board of Trustees’ Contract Approval
Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuation is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of trustees, including by a vote of a majority of the trustees who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At a meeting of the Boards of Trustees (each a “Board”) of the Eaton Vance group of mutual funds (the “Eaton Vance Funds”) held on April 28, 2014, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of existing advisory and sub-advisory agreements for the Eaton Vance Funds for an additional one-year period. In voting its approval, the Board relied upon the affirmative recommendation of the Contract Review Committee of the Board, which is a committee comprised exclusively of Independent Trustees. Prior to making its recommendation, the Contract Review Committee reviewed information furnished by each adviser to the Eaton Vance Funds (including information specifically requested by the Board) for a series of meetings of the Contract Review Committee held between February and April 2014, as well as information considered throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. Such information included, among other things, the following:
Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses
Ÿ | | An independent report comparing the advisory and related fees paid by each fund with fees paid by comparable funds; |
Ÿ | | An independent report comparing each fund’s total expense ratio and its components to comparable funds; |
Ÿ | | An independent report comparing the investment performance of each fund (including, where relevant, yield data, Sharpe ratios and information ratios) to the investment performance of comparable funds over various time periods; |
Ÿ | | Data regarding investment performance in comparison to benchmark indices and customized peer groups identified by the adviser in consultation with the Board; |
Ÿ | | For each fund, comparative information concerning the fees charged and the services provided by each adviser in managing other accounts (including mutual funds, other collective investment funds and institutional accounts) using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing such fund; |
Ÿ | | Profitability analyses for each adviser with respect to each fund; |
Information about Portfolio Management and Trading
Ÿ | | Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, including the investment strategies and processes employed, and any changes in portfolio management processes and personnel; |
Ÿ | | Information about the allocation of brokerage and the benefits received by each adviser as a result of brokerage allocation, including information concerning the acquisition of research through client commission arrangements and the fund’s policies with respect to “soft dollar” arrangements; |
Ÿ | | Data relating to portfolio turnover rates of each fund; |
Ÿ | | The procedures and processes used to determine the fair value of fund assets and actions taken to monitor and test the effectiveness of such procedures and processes; |
Ÿ | | Information about each adviser’s processes for monitoring best execution of portfolio transactions, and other policies and practices of each adviser with respect to trading; |
Information about each Adviser
Ÿ | | Reports detailing the financial results and condition of each adviser; |
Ÿ | | Descriptions of the qualifications, education and experience of the individual investment professionals whose responsibilities include portfolio management and investment research for the funds, and information relating to their compensation and responsibilities with respect to managing other mutual funds and investment accounts; |
Ÿ | | Copies of the Codes of Ethics of each adviser and its affiliates, together with information relating to compliance with and the administration of such codes; |
Ÿ | | Copies of or descriptions of each adviser’s policies and procedures relating to proxy voting, the handling of corporate actions and class actions; |
Ÿ | | Information concerning the resources devoted to compliance efforts undertaken by each adviser and its affiliates on behalf of the funds (including descriptions of various compliance programs) and their record of compliance with investment policies and restrictions, including policies with respect to market-timing, late trading and selective portfolio disclosure, and with policies on personal securities transactions; |
Ÿ | | Descriptions of the business continuity and disaster recovery plans of each adviser and its affiliates; |
Ÿ | | A description of Eaton Vance Management’s procedures for overseeing third party advisers and sub-advisers, including with respect to regulatory and compliance issues, investment management and other matters; |

Other Relevant Information
Ÿ | | Information concerning the nature, cost and character of the administrative and other non-investment management services provided by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates; |
Ÿ | | Information concerning management of the relationship with the custodian, subcustodians and fund accountants by each adviser or the funds’ administrator; and |
Ÿ | | The terms of each advisory agreement. |
Over the course of the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2014, with respect to one or more funds, the Board met nine times and the Contract Review Committee, the Audit Committee, the Governance Committee, the Portfolio Management Committee and the Compliance Reports and Regulatory Matters Committee, each of which is a Committee comprised solely of Independent Trustees, met seven, seventeen, eleven, six and ten times respectively. At such meetings, the Trustees participated in investment and performance reviews with the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of each adviser relating to each fund, and considered the investment and trading strategies used in pursuing each fund’s investment objective, including, where relevant, the use of derivative instruments, as well as processes for monitoring best execution of portfolio transactions risk management techniques. The Board and its Committees also evaluated issues pertaining to industry and regulatory developments, compliance procedures, fund governance and other issues with respect to the funds, and received and participated in reports and presentations provided by Eaton Vance Management and other fund advisers with respect to such matters.
For funds that invest through one or more underlying portfolios, the Board considered similar information about the portfolio(s) when considering the approval of advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the fund’s investment adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any sub-advisory agreement.
The Contract Review Committee was assisted throughout the contract review process by Goodwin Procter LLP, legal counsel for the Independent Trustees. The members of the Contract Review Committee relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each advisory and sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each member of the Contract Review Committee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement. In evaluating each advisory and sub-advisory agreement, including the specific fee structures and other terms of the agreements, the Contract Review Committee was informed by multiple years of analysis and discussion among the Independent Trustees and the Funds’ advisers and sub-advisers.
Results of the Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Contract Review Committee concluded that the continuation of the investment advisory agreements of the following funds:
Ÿ | | Eaton Vance AMT-Free Municipal Income Fund |
Ÿ | | Eaton Vance National Municipal Income Fund |
(the “Funds”), each with Eaton Vance Management or an affiliate (the “Adviser”), including their fee structures, is in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Contract Review Committee recommended to the Board approval of each agreement. The Board accepted the recommendation of the Contract Review Committee as well as the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Contract Review Committee with respect to each agreement. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of the investment advisory agreement for each Fund.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreements of the Funds, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds by the Adviser.
The Board considered the Adviser’s management capabilities and investment process with respect to the types of investments held by each Fund, including the education, experience and number of its investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Funds, including recent changes to such personnel, where relevant. In particular, the Board considered, where relevant, the abilities and experience of such investment personnel in analyzing factors such as credit risk, tax efficiency, and special considerations relevant to investing in municipal obligations. The Board considered the Adviser’s large municipal bond team, which includes portfolio managers and credit specialists who provide services to the Funds. The Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, including the compensation methods of the Adviser to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention devoted to each Fund by senior management.
The Board reviewed the compliance programs of the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof. Among other matters, the Board considered compliance and reporting matters relating to personal trading by investment personnel, selective disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio

valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities. The Board also evaluated the responses of the Adviser and its affiliates to requests in recent years from regulatory authorities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
The Board considered shareholder and other administrative services provided or managed by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates, including transfer agency and accounting services. The Board evaluated the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is a part of a large family of funds, including the ability, in many cases, to exchange an investment among different funds without incurring additional sales charges.
After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser, taken as a whole, are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the investment advisory agreements.

The Board compared each Fund’s investment performance to a relevant universe of similarly managed funds identified by an independent data provider and appropriate benchmark indices and assessed each Fund’s performance on the basis of total return and current income return. The Board’s review included comparative performance data for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2013 for each Fund. The Board considered, among other things, the Adviser’s efforts to generate competitive levels of tax exempt current income over time through investments that, relative to its peer universe, focus on higher quality municipal bonds with longer maturities. The Board noted that the Adviser had taken action to restructure each Fund’s portfolio as part of a long-term strategy for managing interest rate risk, consistent with each Fund’s objective of providing current income. The Board concluded that each Fund’s performance had been satisfactory on the basis of current income return. The Board also concluded it would continue to monitor the effectiveness of steps taken by the Adviser to improve fund performance on the basis of total return.
Management Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed contractual fee rates for investment advisory and administrative services payable by each Fund (referred to as “management fees”). As part of its review, the Board considered the management fees and each Fund’s total expense ratio for the year ended September 30, 2013, as compared to a group of similarly managed funds selected by an independent data provider. The Board also considered factors that had an impact on Fund expense ratios, as identified by management in response to inquiries from the Contract Review Committee, as well as actions taken by management in recent years to reduce expenses at the fund complex level, including the negotiation of reduced fees for transfer agency and custody services.
After reviewing the foregoing information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board concluded that the management fees charged for advisory and related services are reasonable.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof in providing investment advisory and administrative services to each Fund and to all Eaton Vance Funds as a group. The Board considered the level of profits realized without regard to revenue sharing or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered other direct or indirect benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with their relationships with the Funds, including the benefits of research services that may be available to the Adviser as a result of securities transactions effected for the Funds and other investment advisory clients.
The Board concluded that, in light of the foregoing factors and the nature, extent and quality of the services rendered, the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates are reasonable.
Economies of Scale
In reviewing management fees and profitability, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and each Fund, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of each Fund increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in accurately measuring the benefits resulting from the economies of scale with respect to the management of any specific fund or group of funds. The Board reviewed data summarizing the increases and decreases in the assets of each Fund and of all Eaton Vance Funds as a group over various time periods, and evaluated the extent to which the total expense ratio of each Fund and the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates may have been affected by such increases or decreases. Based upon the foregoing, the Board concluded that each Fund currently shares in the benefits from economies of scale. The Board also concluded that, assuming reasonably foreseeable increases in the assets of each Fund, the structure of each advisory fee, which includes breakpoints at several asset levels, will allow each Fund to continue to benefit from economies of scale in the future.

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. Each Fund has claimed an exclusion from the definition of the term “commodity pool operator” under the Commodity Exchange Act. Accordingly, neither the Funds nor the adviser with respect to the operation of the Funds is subject to CFTC regulation. Because of its management of other strategies, each 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.
This report must be preceded or accompanied by a current summary prospectus or prospectus.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance1
Economic and Market Conditions
As the fiscal year began on October 1, 2013, the municipal market was at the tail end of a significant selloff that started in May 2013, after then-U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) Chairman Ben Bernanke surprised the markets by indicating that the Fed’s $85 billion in monthly asset purchases could be tapered sooner than most investors had expected. Investors rushed to sell fixed-income assets in anticipation of rising rates, causing nearly every fixed-income asset class to decline in value.
Even after the Fed tried to temper its comments and calm the markets, heavy selling in municipals continued through the summer of 2013. Although selling of municipals abated somewhat in September, the municipal market continued to experience outflows from the beginning of the period on October 1 through December 2013.
But as 2014 began, municipals turned a corner. From January 1 through September 30, 2014, municipals rallied back from 2013 lows. Contrary to what many investors had expected, Treasury rates declined and municipal rates followed. A principal driver was a global “flight to quality,” as investors sought the relative safety of Treasurys in the face of increased geopolitical and economic risks overseas. In addition, strong demand for municipals, coupled with tight supply, created a favorable supply-demand imbalance that helped drive prices up and yields down. As investors searched for yield in a low-interest-rate environment, longer dated and lower credit quality bonds were the best performers. For the one-year period as a whole, long-term municipal rates declined while short-term rates were essentially flat.
Fund Performance
For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014, the California, Massachusetts, New York, and Ohio Funds’ Class A shares at net asset value (NAV) all outperformed the 7.93% return of the Funds’ primary benchmark, the Barclays Municipal Bond Index2 (the Index).
The Funds’ overall strategy is to invest primarily in bonds with maturities of 10 years or more, in order to capture their typically higher yields and a greater income stream compared with shorter-maturity issues.
Management employs leverage through Residual Interest Bond (RIB) financing6 in seeking to enhance the Funds’
tax-exempt income. The use of leverage has the effect of achieving additional exposure to the municipal market and thus magnifying a fund’s exposure to its underlying investments in both up and down market environments. During this period of falling rates and strong performance by municipal bonds, the use of leverage was a positive contributor to performance versus the Index — which does not employ leverage — for all four Funds.
By using Treasury futures and/or interest-rate swaps, management hedges to various degrees against the greater potential risk of volatility caused by the use of leverage and investing in bonds at the long end of the yield curve. As a risk management tactic within the Funds’ overall strategy, interest rate hedging is intended to moderate performance on both the upside and the downside of the market. During this period of strong performance by municipal bonds, the Funds’ Treasury futures hedge mitigated some of the upside and thus detracted modestly from the Funds’ performance relative to the unhedged Index.
State-specific Results
Eaton Vance California Municipal Income Fund’s Class A shares at NAV returned 11.07%, outperforming the 7.93% return of the Index. The chief contributors to performance versus the Index were the use of leverage, as noted above, as well as security selection and an overweight in the hospital sector, security selection in bonds with 10 to 20 years remaining to maturity, and an overweight in zero coupon bonds, which were the best-performing coupon structure during the period. Security selection in zero coupon bonds, however, detracted from performance relative to the Index, as did the Fund’s hedging strategy and security selection and an underweight in bonds with 30 or more years remaining to maturity.
Eaton Vance Massachusetts Municipal Income Fund’s Class A shares at NAV returned 10.86%, outperforming the 7.93% return of the Index. Performance versus the Index was helped by the use of leverage, an overweight and security selection in the education sector, and security selection in bonds rated BBB7 and below. In contrast, the Fund’s hedging strategy, an overweight in pre-refunded, or escrowed, bonds, and security selection in zero coupon bonds all detracted from performance relative to the Index.
See Endnotes and Additional Disclosures in this report.
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 less than one year is cumulative. Performance is for the stated time period only; due to market volatility, the Fund’s current performance may be lower or higher than quoted. Returns are before taxes unless otherwise noted. For performance as of the most recent month-end, please refer to eatonvance.com.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance — continued
Eaton Vance New York Municipal Income Fund’s Class A shares at NAV returned 11.02%, outperforming the 7.93% return of the Index. Leverage, an overweight and security selection in zero coupon bonds, and an overweight and security selection in bonds rated BBB and below all contributed to results versus the Index. Detractors from performance relative to the Index included the Fund’s hedging strategy, an underweight and security selection in bonds with 30 or more years remaining to maturity, and security selection in the lease/COP (certificates of participation) sector.
Eaton Vance Ohio Municipal Income Fund’s Class A shares at NAV returned 11.19%, outperforming the 7.93% return of the Index. Significant contributors to performance versus the Index included leverage, security selection in Puerto Rico bonds, and security selection and an overweight in local government GO (general obligation) bonds. In contrast, the Fund’s hedging strategy, an overweight in pre-refunded bonds, and a underweight in bonds with 20 or more years remaining to maturity all detracted from performance versus the Index during the period.

1 | The views expressed in this report are those of the portfolio manager(s) and are current only through the date stated at the top of this page. These views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions, and Eaton Vance and the Fund(s) disclaim any responsibility to update such views. These views may not be relied upon as investment advice and, because investment decisions are based on many factors, may not be relied upon as an indication of trading intent on behalf of any Eaton Vance fund. This commentary may contain statements that are not historical facts, referred to as “forward looking statements”. The Fund’s actual future results may differ significantly from those stated in any forward looking statement, depending on factors such as changes in securities or financial markets or general economic conditions, the volume of sales and purchases of Fund shares, the continuation of investment advisory, administrative and service contracts, and other risks discussed from time to time in the Fund’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. |
2 | Barclays Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of municipal bonds traded in the U.S. Barclays 20 Year Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index of municipal bonds traded in the U.S. with maturities ranging from 17-22 years. Unless otherwise stated, index returns do not reflect the effect of any applicable sales charges, commissions, expenses, taxes or leverage, as applicable. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. |
3 | Total Returns at NAV do not include applicable sales charges. If sales charges were deducted, the returns would be lower. Total Returns shown with maximum sales charge reflect the stated maximum sales charge. Unless otherwise stated, performance does not reflect the deduction of taxes on Fund distributions or redemptions of Fund shares. |
| Performance prior to the inception date of a class may be linked to the performance of an older class of the Fund. This linked performance is adjusted for any applicable sales charge, but is not adjusted for class expense differences. If adjusted for such differences, the performance would be different. Performance presented in the financial highlights included in the financial statements is not linked. In the performance table, the performance of Class C is linked to Class B and the performance of Class I is linked to Class A. For the California Municipal Income Fund, Massachusetts Municipal Income Fund and Ohio Municipal Income Fund, Class B shares were converted into another share class. Performance since inception for an index, if presented, is the performance since the Fund’s or oldest share class’ inception, as applicable. |
4 | Total annual operating expense ratios are as stated in the Fund’s most recent prospectus. Net expense ratio excludes interest expense relating to the Fund’s liability with respect to floating rate notes held by third parties in conjunction with residual interest bond transactions by the Fund. The Fund also records offsetting interest income in an amount equal to this expense relating to the municipal obligations underlying such transactions and, as a result, net asset value and performance have not been affected by this expense. |
5 | The Distribution Rate is based on the Fund’s last regular distribution per share in the period (annualized) divided by the Fund’s NAV at the end of the period. The Fund’s distributions may be comprised of amounts characterized for federal income tax purposes as tax-exempt income, qualified and non-qualified ordinary dividends, capital gains and nondividend distributions, also known as return of capital. The Fund will determine the federal income tax character of distributions paid to a shareholder after the end of the calendar year. This is reported on the IRS form 1099- DIV and provided to the shareholder shortly after each year-end. The Fund’s distributions are determined by the investment adviser based on its current assessment of the Fund’s long-term return potential. As portfolio and market conditions change, the rate of distributions paid by the Fund could change. Taxable-equivalent performance is based on the highest combined federal and state income tax rates, where applicable. Lower tax rates would result in lower tax-equivalent performance. Actual tax rates will vary depending on your income, exemptions and deductions. Rates do not include local taxes. SEC Yield is a standardized measure based on the estimated yield to maturity of a fund’s investments over a 30-day period and is based on the maximum offer price at the date specified. The SEC Yield is not based on the distributions made by the Fund, which may differ. |
6 | Fund employs RIB financing. The leverage created by RIB investments provides an opportunity for increased income but, at the same time, creates special risks (including the likelihood of greater volatility of NAV). The cost of leverage rises and falls with changes in short-term interest rates. See “Floating Rate Notes Issued in Conjunction with Securities Held” in the notes to the financial statements for more information about RIB financing. RIB leverage represents the amount of Floating Rate Notes outstanding at period end as a percentage of Fund net assets plus Floating Rate Notes. Floating Rate Notes reflect the effect of RIBs purchased in secondary market transactions, if applicable. |
7 | Ratings are based on Moody’s, S&P or Fitch, as applicable. If securities are rated differently by the ratings agencies, the higher rating is applied. Ratings, which are subject to change, apply to the creditworthiness of the issuers of the underlying securities and not to the Fund or its shares. Credit ratings measure the quality of a bond based on the issuer’s creditworthiness, with ratings ranging from AAA, being the highest, to D, being the lowest based on S&P’s measures. Ratings of BBB or higher by S&P or Fitch (Baa or higher by Moody’s) are considered to be investment grade quality. Credit ratings are based largely on the ratings agency’s analysis at the time of rating. The rating assigned to any particular security is not necessarily a reflection of the issuer’s current financial condition and does not necessarily reflect its assessment of the volatility of a security’s market value or of the liquidity of an investment in the security. Holdings designated as “Not Rated” are not rated by the national ratings agencies stated above. |
8 | The chart includes the municipal bonds held by a trust that issues residual interest bonds, consistent with the Portfolio of Investments. |
| Fund profile subject to change due to active management. |

Fund Expenses
Example: As a Fund shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) 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 (April 1, 2014 – September 30, 2014).
Actual Expenses: The first section of each 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 each 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 each table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) or redemption fees (if applicable). Therefore, the second section of each table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would be higher.

Ohio Municipal Income Fund
September 30, 2014
Portfolio of Investments — continued
The Fund invests primarily in debt securities issued by Ohio municipalities. The ability of the issuers of the debt securities to meet their obligations may be affected by economic developments in a specific industry or municipality. In order to reduce the risk associated with such economic developments, at September 30, 2014, 58.5% of total investments are backed by bond insurance of various financial institutions and financial guaranty assurance agencies. The aggregate percentage insured by an individual financial institution or financial guaranty assurance agency ranged from 3.0% to 25.8% of total investments.
(1) | Amount is less than 0.05%. |
(2) | Security represents the municipal bond held by a trust that issues residual interest bonds (see Note 1I). |
(3) | Security exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. These securities may be sold in certain transactions (normally to qualified institutional buyers) and remain exempt from registration. At September 30, 2014, the aggregate value of these securities is $3,363,568 or 2.1% of the Fund’s net assets. |
(4) | Security is subject to a shortfall agreement which may require the Fund to pay amounts to a counterparty in the event of a significant decline in the market value of the security held by the trust that issued the residual interest bond. In case of a shortfall, the maximum potential amount of payments the Fund could ultimately be required to make under the agreement is $7,725,000. However, such shortfall payment would be reduced by the proceeds from the sale of the security held by the trust that issued the residual interest bond. |
(5) | Security has been issued as a leveraged residual interest bond with a variable interest rate. The stated interest rate represents the rate in effect at September 30, 2014. |

1 Significant Accounting Policies
Eaton Vance Municipals 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 Trust presently consists of eighteen funds, four of which, each non-diversified, are included in these financial statements. They include Eaton Vance California Municipal Income Fund (California Fund), Eaton Vance Massachusetts Municipal Income Fund (Massachusetts Fund), Eaton Vance New York Municipal Income Fund (New York Fund) and Eaton Vance Ohio Municipal Income Fund (Ohio Fund), (each individually referred to as the Fund, and collectively, the Funds). The Funds’ investment objective is to provide current income exempt from regular federal income tax and from particular state or local income or other taxes. The California Fund, Massachusetts Fund and Ohio Fund offer three classes of shares and the New York Fund offers four classes of shares. Class A shares are generally sold subject to a sales charge imposed at time of purchase. Class B and Class C shares are sold at net asset value and are generally subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (see Note 5). Class I shares are sold at net asset value and are not subject to a sales charge. Class B shares of each Fund automatically convert to Class A shares eight years after their purchase as described in each Fund’s prospectus. Beginning January 1, 2012, Class B shares are only available for purchase upon exchange from another Eaton Vance fund or through reinvestment of distributions. 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 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. Net investment income, other than class-specific expenses, is allocated daily to each class of shares based upon the ratio of the value of each class’s paid shares to the total value of all paid shares. Each class of shares differs in its distribution plan and certain other class-specific expenses.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies of the Funds. The policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Each 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.
Debt Obligations. Debt obligations (including short-term obligations with a remaining maturity of more than sixty days) 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 asked 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 obligations purchased with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are generally valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value.
Derivatives. Financial futures contracts are valued at the closing settlement price established by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.
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 a Fund in a manner that fairly reflects the security’s value, or 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 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 entity’s financial condition, 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 and Related Income — 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. Interest income is recorded on the basis of interest accrued, adjusted for amortization of premium or accretion of discount.
C Federal Taxes — Each 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 taxable, if any, and tax-exempt 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. Each Fund intends to satisfy conditions which will enable it to designate distributions from the interest income generated by its investments in municipal obligations, which are exempt from regular federal income tax when received by each Fund, as exempt-interest dividends. The portion of such interest, if any, earned on private activity bonds issued after August 7, 1986, may be considered a tax preference item to shareholders.
At September 30, 2014, the following Funds, for federal income tax purposes, had capital loss carryforwards and deferred capital losses which will reduce the respective Fund’s taxable income arising from future net realized gains on investment transactions, if any, to the extent permitted by the Internal Revenue Code, and thus will reduce the amount of distributions to shareholders, which would otherwise be necessary to relieve the Funds of any liability for federal income or excise tax. The deferred capital losses are treated as arising on the first day of the Funds’ next taxable year, retaining the same short-

term or long-term character as when originally deferred, and are treated as realized prior to the utilization of the capital loss carryforward. The amounts and expiration dates of the capital loss carryforwards, whose character is short-term, and the amounts of the deferred capital losses are as follows:

Long-term | | $ | — | | | $ | 543,081 | | | $ | 7,158,023 | | | $ | 4,851,414 | |
As of September 30, 2014, the Funds had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, de-recognition, or disclosure. Each 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.
D 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.
E Expense Reduction — State Street Bank and Trust Company (SSBT) serves as custodian of the Funds. Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT receives a fee reduced by credits, which are determined based on the average daily cash balance each Fund maintains with SSBT. All credit balances, if any, used to reduce each Fund’s custodian fees are reported as a reduction of expenses in the Statements of Operations.
F Legal Fees — Legal fees and other related expenses incurred as part of negotiations of the terms and requirement of capital infusions, or that are expected to result in the restructuring of, or a plan of reorganization for, an investment are recorded as realized losses. Ongoing expenditures to protect or enhance an investment are treated as operating expenses.
G Use of Estimates — The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 Funds. 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 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, each Fund enters into agreements with service providers that may contain indemnification clauses. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against each Fund that have not yet occurred.
I Floating Rate Notes Issued in Conjunction with Securities Held — The Funds may invest in residual interest bonds, also referred to as inverse floating rate securities, whereby a Fund may sell a variable or fixed rate bond to a broker for cash. At the same time, the Fund buys a residual interest in the assets and cash flows of a Special-Purpose Vehicle (the SPV), (which is generally organized as a trust), set up by the broker. The broker deposits a bond into the SPV with the same CUSIP number as the bond sold to the broker by the Fund, and which may have been, but is not required to be, the bond purchased from the Fund (the Bond). The SPV also issues floating rate notes (Floating Rate Notes) which are sold to third-parties. The residual interest bond held by a Fund gives the Fund the right (1) to cause the holders of the Floating Rate Notes to generally tender their notes at par, and (2) to have the broker transfer the Bond held by the SPV to the Fund, thereby terminating the SPV. Should the Fund exercise such right, it would generally pay the broker the par amount due on the Floating Rate Notes and exchange the residual interest bond for the underlying Bond. Pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles for transfers and servicing of financial assets and extinguishment of liabilities, the Funds account for the transaction described above as a secured borrowing by including the Bond in their Portfolio of Investments and the Floating Rate Notes as a liability under the caption “Payable for floating rate notes issued” in their Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Floating Rate Notes have interest rates that generally reset weekly and their holders

have the option to tender their notes to the broker for redemption at par at each reset date. Accordingly, the fair value of the payable for floating rate notes issued approximates its carrying value. If measured at fair value, the payable for floating rate notes would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 12) at September 30, 2014. Interest expense related to the Funds’ liability with respect to Floating Rate Notes is recorded as incurred. The SPV may be terminated by the Fund, as noted above, or by the broker upon the occurrence of certain termination events as defined in the trust agreement, such as a downgrade in the credit quality of the underlying Bond, bankruptcy of or payment failure by the issuer of the underlying Bond, the inability to remarket Floating Rate Notes that have been tendered due to insufficient buyers in the market, or the failure by the SPV to obtain renewal of the liquidity agreement under which liquidity support is provided for the Floating Rate Notes up to one year. At September 30, 2014, the amounts of the Funds’ Floating Rate Notes and related interest rates and collateral were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | California Fund | | | Massachusetts Fund | | | New York Fund | | | Ohio Fund | |
| | | | |
Floating Rate Notes Outstanding | | $ | 10,520,000 | | | $ | 11,390,000 | | | $ | 28,150,000 | | | $ | 5,000,000 | |
Interest Rate or Range of Interest Rates (%) | | | 0.04 - 0.05 | | | | 0.04 - 0.06 | | | | 0.04 - 0.09 | | | | 0.05 - 0.06 | |
Collateral for Floating Rate Notes Outstanding | | $ | 15,499,828 | | | $ | 19,053,390 | | | $ | 44,186,097 | | | $ | 9,475,875 | |
For the year ended September 30, 2014, the Funds’ average Floating Rate Notes outstanding and the average interest rate including fees were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | California Fund | | | Massachusetts Fund | | | New York Fund | | | Ohio Fund | |
| | | | |
Average Floating Rate Notes Outstanding | | $ | 11,381,041 | | | $ | 11,390,000 | | | $ | 28,618,493 | | | $ | 6,739,726 | |
Average Interest Rate | | | 0.61 | % | | | 0.67 | % | | | 0.65 | % | | | 0.93 | % |
The Funds may enter into shortfall and forbearance agreements with the broker by which a Fund agrees to reimburse the broker, in certain circumstances, for the difference between the liquidation value of the Bond held by the SPV and the liquidation value of the Floating Rate Notes, as well as any shortfalls in interest cash flows. The Funds had no shortfalls as of September 30, 2014.
The Funds may also purchase residual interest bonds from brokers in a secondary market transaction without first owning the underlying bond. Such transactions are not required to be treated as secured borrowings. Shortfall agreements, if any, related to residual interest bonds purchased in a secondary market transaction are disclosed in the Portfolio of Investments.
The Funds’ investment policies and restrictions expressly permit investments in residual interest bonds. Such bonds typically offer the potential for yields exceeding the yields available on fixed rate bonds with comparable credit quality and maturity. These securities tend to underperform the market for fixed rate bonds in a rising long-term interest rate environment, but tend to outperform the market for fixed rate bonds when long-term interest rates decline. The value and income of residual interest bonds are generally more volatile than that of a fixed rate bond. The Funds’ investment policies do not allow the Funds to borrow money except as permitted by the 1940 Act. Management believes that the Funds’ restrictions on borrowing money and issuing senior securities (other than as specifically permitted) do not apply to Floating Rate Notes issued by the SPV and included as a liability in the Funds’ Statement of Assets and Liabilities. As secured indebtedness issued by an SPV, Floating Rate Notes are distinct from the borrowings and senior securities to which the Funds’ restrictions apply. Residual interest bonds held by the Funds are securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933.
On December 10, 2013, five U.S. federal agencies published final rules implementing section 619 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Volcker Rule”). The Volcker Rule prohibits banking entities from engaging in proprietary trading of certain instruments and limits such entities’ investments in, and relationships with, covered funds, as defined in the rules. The compliance date for the Volcker Rule is July 21, 2015. The Volcker Rule may preclude banking entities and their affiliates from (i) sponsoring residual interest bond programs (as such programs are presently structured) and (ii) continuing relationships with or services for existing residual interest bond programs. As a result, residual interest bond trusts may need to be restructured or unwound. There can be no assurances that residual interest bond trusts can be restructured, that new sponsors of residual interest bond programs will develop, or that alternative forms of leverage will be available to the Funds. The effects of the Volcker Rule may make it more difficult for the Funds to maintain current or desired levels of leverage and may cause the Funds to incur additional expenses to maintain their leverage.
J Financial Futures Contracts — Upon entering into a financial futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit with the broker, either in cash or securities, an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin). Subsequent payments, known as variation margin, are made or received by the Fund each business day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the underlying security, and are recorded as unrealized gains or losses by the Fund. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the financial futures contracts. Should market conditions change unexpectedly, the Fund may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the financial futures contracts and may realize a loss. Futures contracts have minimal counterparty risk as they are exchange traded and the clearinghouse for the exchange is substituted as the counterparty, guaranteeing counterparty performance.

K When-Issued Securities and Delayed Delivery Transactions — The Funds may purchase or sell securities on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. At the time the transaction is negotiated, the price of the security that will be delivered is fixed. The Funds maintain security positions for these commitments such that sufficient liquid assets will be available to make payments upon settlement. Securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and begin earning interest on settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
2 Distributions to Shareholders
The net investment income of each Fund is determined daily and substantially all of the net investment income so determined is declared as a dividend to shareholders of record at the time of declaration. Distributions are declared separately for each class of shares. Distributions are paid monthly. Distributions of realized capital gains (reduced by available capital loss carryforwards) are made at least annually. Shareholders may reinvest income and capital gain distributions in additional shares of the same class of a Fund at the net asset value as of the reinvestment date or, at the election of the shareholder, receive distributions in cash. The Funds distinguish between distributions on a tax basis and a financial reporting basis. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that only distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits be 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 September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Year Ended September 30, 2014 | |
| | California Fund | | | Massachusetts Fund | | | New York Fund | | | Ohio Fund | |

Ordinary income | | $ | — | | | $ | 128,594 | | | $ | 118,849 | | | $ | 11,967 | |
During the year ended September 30, 2014, the following amounts were reclassified due to the tax treatment of distributions in excess of net tax-exempt income and differences between book and tax accounting, primarily for accretion of market discount.

These reclassifications had no effect on the net assets or net asset value per share of the Funds.

As of September 30, 2014, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | California Fund | | | Massachusetts Fund | | | New York Fund | | | Ohio Fund | |

Other temporary differences | | $ | (129,203 | ) | | $ | (99,603 | ) | | $ | (172,490 | ) | | $ | (82,672 | ) |
The differences between components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis and the amounts reflected in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are primarily due to wash sales, futures contracts, accretion of market discount, residual interest bonds and the timing of recognizing distributions to shareholders.
3 Investment Adviser Fee and Other Transactions with Affiliates
The investment adviser fee is earned by Boston Management and Research (BMR), a subsidiary of Eaton Vance Management (EVM), as compensation for management and investment advisory services rendered to each Fund. The fee is based upon a percentage of average daily net assets plus a percentage of gross income (i.e., income other than gains from the sale of securities) as presented in the following table (except for California Fund) and is payable monthly.
| | | | | | | | |
Daily Net Assets | | Annual Asset Rate | | | Daily Income Rate | |
| | |
Up to $20 million | | | 0.10 | % | | | 1.00 | % |
$20 million up to $40 million | | | 0.20 | | | | 2.00 | |
$40 million up to $500 million | | | 0.30 | | | | 3.00 | |
On average daily net assets of $500 million or more, the rates are reduced. For California Fund, the annual asset rate and daily income rate are 0.30% and 3.00%, respectively, on average daily net assets of up to $500 million and at reduced rates on daily net assets of $500 million or more.
For the year ended September 30, 2014, investment adviser fees incurred by the Funds and the effective annual rates, as a percentage of average daily net assets, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | California Fund | | | Massachusetts Fund | | | New York Fund | | | Ohio Fund | |
| | | | |
Investment Adviser Fee | | $ | 695,206 | | | $ | 587,076 | | | $ | 1,268,326 | | | $ | 625,232 | |
Effective Annual Rate | | | 0.44 | % | | | 0.38 | % | | | 0.41 | % | | | 0.39 | % |
EVM serves as administrator of each Fund, but receives no compensation. EVM provides sub-transfer agency and related services to the Funds pursuant to a Sub-Transfer Agency Support Services Agreement. Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc. (EVD), an affiliate of EVM and the Funds’ principal underwriter, received a portion of the sales charge on sales of Class A shares of the Funds. EVD also received distribution and service fees from Class A, Class B and Class C shares (see Note 4) and contingent deferred sales charges (see Note 5). Sub-transfer agent fees earned by EVM, which are included in transfer and dividend disbursing agent fees on the Statements of Operations, and Class A sales charges that the Funds were informed were received by EVD for the year ended September 30, 2014 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | California Fund | | | Massachusetts Fund | | | New York Fund | | | Ohio Fund | |
| | | | |
EVM’s Sub-Transfer Agent Fees | | $ | 5,505 | | | $ | 4,918 | | | $ | 11,831 | | | $ | 3,946 | |

Trustees and officers of the Funds who are members of EVM’s or BMR’s organizations receive remuneration for their services to the Funds out of the investment adviser fee. Trustees of the Funds who are not affiliated with the investment adviser may elect to defer receipt of all or a percentage of their annual fees in accordance with the terms of the Trustees Deferred Compensation Plan. For the year ended September 30, 2014, no significant amounts have been deferred. Certain officers and Trustees of the Funds are officers of the above organizations.
4 Distribution Plans
Each Fund has in effect a distribution plan for Class A shares (Class A Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The Class A Plan provides that each Fund will pay EVD a distribution and service fee not exceeding 0.25% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares for distribution services and facilities provided to each Fund by EVD, as well as for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. The Trustees approved distribution and service fee payments equal to 0.20% (0.25% for California Fund) per annum of each Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class A shares. Distribution and service fees paid or accrued to EVD for the year ended September 30, 2014 for Class A shares amounted to the following:

Class A Distribution and Service Fees | | $ | 315,425 | | | $ | 230,269 | | | $ | 463,248 | | | $ | 268,849 | |
Each Fund also has in effect distribution plans for Class B shares (Class B Plan) and/or Class C shares (Class C Plan) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Pursuant to the Class B and Class C Plans, each Fund pays EVD amounts equal to 0.75% per annum of its average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares for providing ongoing distribution services and facilities to the respective Funds. For the year ended September 30, 2014, the Funds paid or accrued to EVD the following distribution fees:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | California Fund | | | Massachusetts Fund | | | New York Fund | | | Ohio Fund | |

Class C Distribution Fees | | $ | 78,235 | | | $ | 136,999 | | | $ | 321,973 | | | $ | 148,193 | |
The Class B and Class C Plans also authorize the Funds to make payments of service fees to EVD, financial intermediaries and other persons in amounts not exceeding 0.25% per annum of the average daily net assets attributable to that class. The Trustees approved service fee payments equal to 0.20% (0.25% for California Fund) per annum of each Fund’s average daily net assets attributable to Class B and Class C shares. Service fees paid or accrued are for personal services and/or the maintenance of shareholder accounts. They are separate and distinct from the sales commissions and distribution fees payable to EVD. Service fees paid or accrued for the year ended September 30, 2014 amounted to the following:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | California Fund | | | Massachusetts Fund | | | New York Fund | | | Ohio Fund | |

Class B Service Fees | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 9,859 | | | $ | — | |
Class C Service Fees | | $ | 26,079 | | | $ | 36,533 | | | $ | 85,859 | | | $ | 39,518 | |
Distribution and service fees are subject to the limitations contained in the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority’s NASD Conduct Rule 2830(d) and for Class B, are further limited to a 5% maximum sales charge as determined in accordance with such rule.
5 Contingent Deferred Sales Charges
A contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) generally is imposed on redemptions of Class B shares made within six years of purchase and on redemptions of Class C shares made within one year of purchase. Class A shares may be subject to a 1% CDSC if redeemed within eighteen months of purchase (depending on the circumstances of purchase). Generally, the CDSC is based upon the lower of the net asset value at date of redemption or date of purchase. No charge is levied on shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions. The CDSC for Class B shares is imposed at declining rates that begin at 5% in the case of redemptions in the first and second year after purchase, declining one percentage point each subsequent

8 Federal Income Tax Basis of Investments
The cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments of each Fund at September 30, 2014, as determined on a federal income tax basis, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | California Fund | | | Massachusetts Fund | | | New York Fund | | | Ohio Fund | |
| | | | |
Aggregate cost | | $ | 138,949,634 | | | $ | 129,331,778 | | | $ | 281,632,110 | | | $ | 139,675,258 | |
Gross unrealized appreciation | | $ | 14,994,501 | | | $ | 20,216,252 | | | $ | 39,304,724 | | | $ | 17,270,505 | |
Gross unrealized depreciation | | | (484,525 | ) | | | (20,334 | ) | | | (28,802 | ) | | | (76,551 | ) |
| | | | |
Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 14,509,976 | | | $ | 20,195,918 | | | $ | 39,275,922 | | | $ | 17,193,954 | |
9 Line of Credit
The Funds participate with other portfolios and funds managed by EVM and its affiliates in a $750 million unsecured line of credit agreement with a group of banks. Borrowings are made by the Funds solely to facilitate the handling of unusual and/or unanticipated short-term cash requirements. Interest is charged to each Fund based on its borrowings at an amount above either the Eurodollar rate or Federal Funds rate. In addition, a fee computed at an annual rate of 0.08% on the daily unused portion of the line of credit is allocated among the participating portfolios and funds at the end of each quarter. Because the line of credit is not available exclusively to the Funds, a Fund may be unable to borrow some or all of its requested amounts at any particular time. At September 30, 2014, the California Fund had a balance outstanding pursuant to the line of credit of $600,000 at an interest rate of 1.08%. Based on the short-term nature of the borrowings under the line of credit and variable interest rate, the carrying value of the borrowings approximated its fair value at September 30, 2014. If measured at fair value, borrowings under the line of credit would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 12) at September 30, 2014. The Funds’ average borrowings or allocated fees during the year ended September 30, 2014 were not significant.
10 Overdraft Advances
Pursuant to the custodian agreement, SSBT may, in its discretion, advance funds to the Funds to make properly authorized payments. When such payments result in an overdraft, the Funds are obligated to repay SSBT at the current rate of interest charged by SSBT for secured loans (currently, the Federal Funds rate plus 2%). This obligation is payable on demand to SSBT. SSBT has a lien on a Fund’s assets to the extent of any overdraft. At September 30, 2014, the California Fund had an overdraft balance due to SSBT pursuant to the foregoing arrangement of $82,935. Based on the short-term nature of these payments and the variable interest rate, the carrying value of the overdraft advances approximated its fair value at September 30, 2014. If measured at fair value, overdraft advances would have been considered as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (see Note 12) at September 30, 2014. The Funds’ average overdraft advances during the year ended September 30, 2014 were not significant.

11 Financial Instruments
The Funds may trade in financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of their investing activities. These financial instruments may include financial futures contracts and may involve, to a varying degree, elements of risk in excess of the amounts recognized for financial statement purposes. The notional or contractual amounts of these instruments represent the investment a Fund has in particular classes of financial instruments and do not necessarily represent the amounts potentially subject to risk. The measurement of the risks associated with these instruments is meaningful only when all related and offsetting transactions are considered.
A summary of obligations under these financial instruments at September 30, 2014 is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Futures Contracts | |
Fund | | Expiration Month/Year | | | Contracts | | Position | | Aggregate Cost | | | Value | | | Net Unrealized Appreciation | |

New York | | | 12/14 | | | 192 U.S. Long Treasury Bond | | Short | | $ | (26,687,649 | ) | | $ | (26,478,000 | ) | | $ | 209,649 | |

At September 30, 2014, the Funds had sufficient cash and/or securities to cover commitments under these contracts.
Each Fund is subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective. Because the Funds hold fixed-rate bonds, the value of these bonds may decrease if interest rates rise. The Funds purchase and sell U.S. Treasury futures contracts to hedge against changes in interest rates.
The fair values of open derivative instruments (not considered to be hedging instruments for accounting disclosure purposes) and whose primary underlying risk exposure is interest rate risk at September 30, 2014 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

12 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.
Ÿ | | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments |
Ÿ | | Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.) |
Ÿ | | 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 September 30, 2014, the hierarchy of inputs used in valuing the Funds’ investments and open derivative instruments, which are carried at value, were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Trustees of Eaton Vance Municipals Trust and Shareholders of Eaton Vance California Municipal Income Fund, Eaton Vance Massachusetts Municipal Income Fund, Eaton Vance New York Municipal Income Fund and Eaton Vance Ohio Municipal Income Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Eaton Vance California Municipal Income Fund, Eaton Vance Massachusetts Municipal Income Fund, Eaton Vance New York Municipal Income Fund, and Eaton Vance Ohio Municipal Income Fund (collectively, the “Funds”) (certain of the funds constituting Eaton Vance Municipals Trust), including the portfolios of investments, as of September 30, 2014, 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, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2014, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions of Eaton Vance California Municipal Income Fund, Eaton Vance Massachusetts Municipal Income Fund, Eaton Vance New York Municipal Income Fund and Eaton Vance Ohio Municipal Income Fund as of September 30, 2014, 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 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.

Board of Trustees’ Contract Approval
Overview of the Contract Review Process
The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), provides, in substance, that each investment advisory agreement between a fund and its investment adviser will continue in effect from year to year only if its continuation is approved at least annually by the fund’s board of trustees, including by a vote of a majority of the trustees who are not “interested persons” of the fund (“Independent Trustees”), cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of considering such approval.
At a meeting of the Boards of Trustees (each a “Board”) of the Eaton Vance group of mutual funds (the “Eaton Vance Funds”) held on April 28, 2014, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of existing advisory and sub-advisory agreements for the Eaton Vance Funds for an additional one-year period. In voting its approval, the Board relied upon the affirmative recommendation of the Contract Review Committee of the Board, which is a committee comprised exclusively of Independent Trustees. Prior to making its recommendation, the Contract Review Committee reviewed information furnished by each adviser to the Eaton Vance Funds (including information specifically requested by the Board) for a series of meetings of the Contract Review Committee held between February and April 2014, as well as information considered throughout the year at meetings of the Board and its committees. Such information included, among other things, the following:
Information about Fees, Performance and Expenses
Ÿ | | An independent report comparing the advisory and related fees paid by each fund with fees paid by comparable funds; |
Ÿ | | An independent report comparing each fund’s total expense ratio and its components to comparable funds; |
Ÿ | | An independent report comparing the investment performance of each fund (including, where relevant, yield data, Sharpe ratios and information ratios) to the investment performance of comparable funds over various time periods; |
Ÿ | | Data regarding investment performance in comparison to benchmark indices and customized peer groups identified by the adviser in consultation with the Board; |
Ÿ | | For each fund, comparative information concerning the fees charged and the services provided by each adviser in managing other accounts (including mutual funds, other collective investment funds and institutional accounts) using investment strategies and techniques similar to those used in managing such fund; |
Ÿ | | Profitability analyses for each adviser with respect to each fund; |
Information about Portfolio Management and Trading
Ÿ | | Descriptions of the investment management services provided to each fund, including the investment strategies and processes employed, and any changes in portfolio management processes and personnel; |
Ÿ | | Information about the allocation of brokerage and the benefits received by each adviser as a result of brokerage allocation, including information concerning the acquisition of research through client commission arrangements and the fund’s policies with respect to “soft dollar” arrangements; |
Ÿ | | Data relating to portfolio turnover rates of each fund; |
Ÿ | | The procedures and processes used to determine the fair value of fund assets and actions taken to monitor and test the effectiveness of such procedures and processes; |
Ÿ | | Information about each adviser’s processes for monitoring best execution of portfolio transactions, and other policies and practices of each adviser with respect to trading; |
Information about each Adviser
Ÿ | | Reports detailing the financial results and condition of each adviser; |
Ÿ | | Descriptions of the qualifications, education and experience of the individual investment professionals whose responsibilities include portfolio management and investment research for the funds, and information relating to their compensation and responsibilities with respect to managing other mutual funds and investment accounts; |
Ÿ | | Copies of the Codes of Ethics of each adviser and its affiliates, together with information relating to compliance with and the administration of such codes; |
Ÿ | | Copies of or descriptions of each adviser’s policies and procedures relating to proxy voting, the handling of corporate actions and class actions; |
Ÿ | | Information concerning the resources devoted to compliance efforts undertaken by each adviser and its affiliates on behalf of the funds (including descriptions of various compliance programs) and their record of compliance with investment policies and restrictions, including policies with respect to market-timing, late trading and selective portfolio disclosure, and with policies on personal securities transactions; |
Ÿ | | Descriptions of the business continuity and disaster recovery plans of each adviser and its affiliates; |
Ÿ | | A description of Eaton Vance Management’s procedures for overseeing third party advisers and sub-advisers, including with respect to regulatory and compliance issues, investment management and other matters; |

Other Relevant Information
Ÿ | | Information concerning the nature, cost and character of the administrative and other non-investment management services provided by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates; |
Ÿ | | Information concerning management of the relationship with the custodian, subcustodians and fund accountants by each adviser or the funds’ administrator; and |
Ÿ | | The terms of each advisory agreement. |
Over the course of the twelve-month period ended April 30, 2014, with respect to one or more funds, the Board met nine times and the Contract Review Committee, the Audit Committee, the Governance Committee, the Portfolio Management Committee and the Compliance Reports and Regulatory Matters Committee, each of which is a Committee comprised solely of Independent Trustees, met seven, seventeen, eleven, six and ten times respectively. At such meetings, the Trustees participated in investment and performance reviews with the portfolio managers and other investment professionals of each adviser relating to each fund, and considered the investment and trading strategies used in pursuing each fund’s investment objective, including, where relevant, the use of derivative instruments, as well as processes for monitoring best execution of portfolio transactions and risk management techniques. The Board and its Committees also evaluated issues pertaining to industry and regulatory developments, compliance procedures, fund governance and other issues with respect to the funds, and received and participated in reports and presentations provided by Eaton Vance Management and other fund advisers with respect to such matters.
For funds that invest through one or more underlying portfolios, the Board considered similar information about the portfolio(s) when considering the approval of advisory agreements. In addition, in cases where the fund’s investment adviser has engaged a sub-adviser, the Board considered similar information about the sub-adviser when considering the approval of any sub-advisory agreement.
The Contract Review Committee was assisted throughout the contract review process by Goodwin Procter LLP, legal counsel for the Independent Trustees. The members of the Contract Review Committee relied upon the advice of such counsel and their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating each advisory and sub-advisory agreement and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all the information provided and not any single factor. Moreover, each member of the Contract Review Committee may have placed varying emphasis on particular factors in reaching conclusions with respect to each advisory and sub-advisory agreement. In evaluating each advisory and sub-advisory agreement, including the specific fee structures and other terms of the agreements, the Contract Review Committee was informed by multiple years of analysis and discussion among the Independent Trustees and the Funds’ advisers and sub-advisers.
Results of the Process
Based on its consideration of the foregoing, and such other information as it deemed relevant, including the factors and conclusions described below, the Contract Review Committee concluded that the continuation of the investment advisory agreements of the following funds:
Ÿ | | Eaton Vance California Municipal Income Fund |
Ÿ | | Eaton Vance Massachusetts Municipal Income Fund |
Ÿ | | Eaton Vance New York Municipal Income Fund |
Ÿ | | Eaton Vance Ohio Municipal Income Fund |
(the “Funds”), each with Boston Management and Research (the “Adviser”), an affiliate of Eaton Vance Management, including their fee structures, is in the interests of shareholders and, therefore, the Contract Review Committee recommended to the Board approval of each agreement. The Board accepted the recommendation of the Contract Review Committee as well as the factors considered and conclusions reached by the Contract Review Committee with respect to each agreement. Accordingly, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve continuation of the investment advisory agreement for each Fund.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services
In considering whether to approve the investment advisory agreements of the Funds, the Board evaluated the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds by the Adviser.
The Board considered the Adviser’s management capabilities and investment process with respect to the types of investments held by each Fund, including the education, experience and number of its investment professionals and other personnel who provide portfolio management, investment research, and similar services to the Funds, including recent changes to such personnel, where relevant. In particular, the Board considered, where relevant, the abilities and experience of such investment personnel in analyzing factors such as credit risk, tax efficiency, and special considerations relevant to investing in municipal obligations. The Board considered the Adviser’s large municipal bond team, which includes portfolio managers and credit specialists who provide services to the Funds. The Board also took into account the resources dedicated to portfolio management and other services, including the compensation methods of the Adviser to recruit and retain investment personnel, and the time and attention devoted to each Fund by senior management.

Board of Trustees’ Contract Approval — continued
The Board reviewed the compliance programs of the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof. Among other matters, the Board considered compliance and reporting matters relating to personal trading by investment personnel, selective disclosure of portfolio holdings, late trading, frequent trading, portfolio valuation, business continuity and the allocation of investment opportunities. The Board also evaluated the responses of the Adviser and its affiliates to requests in recent years from regulatory authorities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority.
The Board considered shareholder and other administrative services provided or managed by Eaton Vance Management and its affiliates, including transfer agency and accounting services. The Board evaluated the benefits to shareholders of investing in a fund that is a part of a large family of funds, including the ability, in many cases, to exchange an investment among different funds without incurring additional sales charges.
After consideration of the foregoing factors, among others, the Board concluded that the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Adviser, taken as a whole, are appropriate and consistent with the terms of the investment advisory agreements.
Fund Performance
The Board compared each Fund’s investment performance to a relevant universe of similarly managed funds identified by an independent data provider and appropriate benchmark indices and assessed each Fund’s performance on the basis of total return and current income return. The Board’s review included comparative performance data for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods ended September 30, 2013 for each Fund. The Board considered, among other things, the Adviser’s efforts to generate competitive levels of tax exempt current income over time through investments that, relative to its peer universe, focus on higher quality municipal bonds with longer maturities. The Board noted that the Adviser had taken action to restructure each Fund’s portfolio as part of a long-term strategy for managing interest rate risk, consistent with each Fund’s objective of providing current income. The Board concluded that each Fund’s performance had been satisfactory on the basis of current income return. The Board also concluded it would continue to monitor the effectiveness of steps taken by the Adviser to improve fund performance on the basis of total return.
Management Fees and Expenses
The Board reviewed contractual fee rates for investment advisory and administrative services payable by each Fund (referred to as “management fees”). As part of its review, the Board considered the management fees and each Fund’s total expense ratio for the year ended September 30, 2013, as compared to a group of similarly managed funds selected by an independent data provider. The Board also considered factors that had an impact on Fund expense ratios, as identified by management in response to inquiries from the Contract Review Committee, as well as actions taken by management in recent years to reduce expenses at the fund complex level, including the negotiation of reduced fees for transfer agency and custody services.
After reviewing the foregoing information, and in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Adviser, the Board concluded that the management fees charged for advisory and related services are reasonable.
Profitability
The Board reviewed the level of profits realized by the Adviser and relevant affiliates thereof in providing investment advisory and administrative services to each Fund and to all Eaton Vance Funds as a group. The Board considered the level of profits realized without regard to revenue sharing or other payments by the Adviser and its affiliates to third parties in respect of distribution services. The Board also considered other direct or indirect benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates in connection with their relationships with the Funds, including the benefits of research services that may be available to the Adviser as a result of securities transactions effected for the Funds and other investment advisory clients.
The Board concluded that, in light of the foregoing factors and the nature, extent and quality of the services rendered, the profits realized by the Adviser and its affiliates are reasonable.
Economies of Scale
In reviewing management fees and profitability, the Board also considered the extent to which the Adviser and its affiliates, on the one hand, and each Fund, on the other hand, can expect to realize benefits from economies of scale as the assets of each Fund increase. The Board acknowledged the difficulty in accurately measuring the benefits resulting from the economies of scale with respect to the management of any specific fund or group of funds. The Board reviewed data summarizing the increases and decreases in the assets of each Fund and of all Eaton Vance Funds as a group over various time periods, and evaluated the extent to which the total expense ratio of each Fund and the profitability of the Adviser and its affiliates may have been affected by such increases or decreases. Based upon the foregoing, the Board concluded that each Fund currently shares in the benefits from economies of scale. The Board also concluded that, assuming reasonably foreseeable increases in the assets of each Fund, the structure of each advisory fee, which includes breakpoints at several asset levels, will allow each Fund to continue to benefit from economies of scale in the future.

Privacy. The Eaton Vance organization is committed to ensuring your financial privacy. Each of the financial institutions identified below has in effect the following policy (“Privacy Policy”) with respect to nonpublic personal information about its customers:
Ÿ | | Only such information received from you, through application forms or otherwise, and information about your Eaton Vance fund transactions will be collected. This may include information such as name, address, social security number, tax status, account balances and transactions. |
Ÿ | | None of such information about you (or former customers) will be disclosed to anyone, except as permitted by law (which includes disclosure to employees necessary to service your account). In the normal course of servicing a customer’s account, Eaton Vance may share information with unaffiliated third parties that perform various required services such as transfer agents, custodians and broker-dealers. |
Ÿ | | Policies and procedures (including physical, electronic and procedural safeguards) are in place that are designed to protect the confidentiality of such information. |
Ÿ | | We reserve the right to change our Privacy Policy at any time upon proper notification to you. Customers may want to review our Privacy Policy periodically for changes by accessing the link on our homepage: www.eatonvance.com. |
Our pledge of privacy applies to the following entities within the Eaton Vance organization: the Eaton Vance Family of Funds, Eaton Vance Management, Eaton Vance Investment Counsel, Eaton Vance Distributors, Inc., Eaton Vance Trust Company, Eaton Vance Management’s Real Estate Investment Group and Boston Management and Research. In addition, our Privacy Policy applies only to those Eaton Vance customers who are individuals and who have a direct relationship with us. If a customer’s account (i.e., fund shares) is held in the name of a third-party financial advisor/broker-dealer, it is likely that only such advisor’s privacy policies apply to the customer. This notice supersedes all previously issued privacy disclosures. For more information about Eaton Vance’s Privacy Policy, please call 1-800-262-1122.
Delivery of Shareholder Documents. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits funds to deliver only one copy of shareholder documents, including prospectuses, proxy statements and shareholder reports, to fund investors with multiple accounts at the same residential or post office box address. This practice is often called “householding” and it helps eliminate duplicate mailings to shareholders. Eaton Vance, or your financial advisor, may household the mailing of your documents indefinitely unless you instruct Eaton Vance, or your financial advisor, otherwise. If you would prefer that your Eaton Vance documents not be householded, please contact Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122, or contact your financial advisor. Your instructions that householding not apply to delivery of your Eaton Vance documents will be effective within 30 days of receipt by Eaton Vance or your financial advisor.
Portfolio Holdings. Each Eaton Vance Fund and its underlying Portfolio(s) (if applicable) will file a schedule of portfolio holdings on Form N-Q with the SEC for the first and third quarters of each fiscal year. The Form N-Q will be available on the Eaton Vance website at www.eatonvance.com, by calling Eaton Vance at 1-800-262-1122 or in the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Form N-Q may also be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s public reference room in Washington, D.C. (call 1-800-732-0330 for information on the operation of the public reference room).
Proxy Voting. From time to time, funds are required to vote proxies related to the securities held by the funds. The Eaton Vance Funds or their underlying Portfolios (if applicable) vote proxies according to a set of policies and procedures approved by the Funds’ and Portfolios’ Boards. You may obtain a description of these policies and procedures and information on how the Funds or Portfolios voted proxies relating to portfolio securities during the most recent 12-month period ended June 30, without charge, upon request, by calling 1-800-262-1122 and by accessing the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
