Management's discussion of Fund performance
Performance highlights
Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund (Class A) returned 10.39% (excluding sales charge) for the 12 months ended August 31, 2024.During the same period, the Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index, the Fund's broad-based securities market index, returned 6.09%.
Top contributors to performance:
Municipal yields fell over the fiscal year against a backdrop of slowing inflation and anticipation that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) would eventually cut rates. As a result, the longer end of the curve outperformed.
Lower-investment-grade and below-investment-grade segments drove performance. The catalyst was a strong technical backdrop of diminutive high yield issuance coupled with inflows to municipal mutual funds, particularly high yield funds.
Key contributors to performance included:
Overweight to the long bond (22+ years) segment of the curve
Overweight to BBB-rated credit
Meaningful out-of-benchmark allocation to below-investment-grade securities
Top detractors from performance:
The front end of the curve - which is, by its nature, shorter in duration - detracted from performance over the fiscal year, as this maturity segment lagged relative to the intermediate and long ends of the curve.
Key detractors from performance included:
Modest out-of-benchmark allocation to the front end (0-1 year) of the curve
Allocation to pre-refunded bonds, predominantly on the front end of the curve

The reference rate descriptions (i.e. SOFR01M, SOFR03M, etc.) used in this report are identical for different securities, but the underlying reference rates may differ due to the timing of the reset period. Certain variable rate securities are not based on a published reference rate and spread but are determined by the issuer or agent and are based on current market conditions, or for mortgage-backed securities, are impacted by the individual mortgages which are paying off over time. These securities do not indicate a reference rate and spread in their descriptions.

Variable rate investment. Rates reset periodically. Rate shown reflects the rate in effect at August 31, 2024. For securities based on a published reference rate and spread, the reference rate and spread are indicated in their descriptions. The reference rate descriptions (i.e. SOFR01M, SOFR03M, etc.) used in this report are identical for different securities, but the underlying reference rates may differ due to the timing of the reset period. Certain variable rate securities are not based on a published reference rate and spread but are determined by the issuer or agent and are based on current market conditions, or for mortgage-backed securities, are impacted by the individual mortgages which are paying off over time. These securities do not indicate a reference rate and spread in their descriptions.

Each rate shown is as of August 31, 2024.

The reference rate descriptions (i.e. SOFR01M, SOFR03M, etc.) used in this report are identical for different securities, but the underlying reference rates may differ due to the timing of the reset period. Certain variable rate securities are not based on a published reference rate and spread but are determined by the issuer or agent and are based on current market conditions, or for mortgage-backed securities, are impacted by the individual mortgages which are paying off over time. These securities do not indicate a reference rate and spread in their descriptions.

These financial statements and the related notes pertain to Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund, Delaware Tax-Free California Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund, Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund, and Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund (each, a Fund or collectively, the Funds). Each Trust is an open-end investment company. Each Fund is considered diversified under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (1940 Act), and offers Class A, Class C, and Institutional Class shares. Class A shares are sold with a maximum front-end sales charge of 4.50%. There is no front-end sales charge when you purchase $250,000 or more of Class A shares. However, if Delaware Distributors, L.P. (DDLP) paid your financial intermediary a commission on your purchase of $250,000 or more of Class A shares, for shares of Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund, Delaware Tax-Free California Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund, Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund or Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund you will have to pay a limited contingent deferred sales charge (Limited CDSC) of 1.00% if you redeem these shares within the first 18 months after your purchase, unless a specific waiver of the Limited CDSC applies. Class C shares have no upfront sales charge, but are sold with a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) of 1.00%, which will be incurred if redeemed during the first 12 months. Institutional Class shares are not subject to a sales charge and are offered for sale exclusively to certain eligible investors.
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Each Fund follows accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) and are consistently followed by the Funds.
Security Valuation - Fixed income securities are generally priced based upon valuations provided by an independent pricing service or broker in accordance with methodologies included within Delaware Management Company (DMC)'s Pricing Policy (the Policy). Fixed income security valuations are then reviewed by DMC as part of its duties as each Fund's valuation designee (Valuation Designee) and, to the extent required by the Policy and applicable regulation, fair valued consistent with the Policy. To the extent current market prices are not available, the pricing service may take into account developments related to the specific security, as well as transactions in comparable securities. Valuations for fixed income securities utilize
120
Table of Contents
matrix systems, which reflect such factors as security prices, yields, maturities, and ratings, and are supplemented by dealer and exchange quotations. Open-end investment companies, other than exchange-traded funds (ETFs), are valued at their published net asset value (NAV). Investments for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act (Rule 2a-5). As a general principle, the fair value of a security or other asset is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5, the Board of Trustees (Board) has designated DMC as the Valuation Designee for each Fund to perform the fair value determination relating to all applicable Fund investments. DMC has established a Pricing Committee to assist with its designated responsibilities as Valuation Designee, and DMC may carry out its designated responsibilities as Valuation Designee through the Pricing Committee and other teams and committees, which operate under policies and procedures approved by the Board and subject to the Board's oversight. Fair value pricing may be used more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-US markets. In considering whether fair valuation is required and in determining fair values, the Valuation Designee may, among other things, consider significant events (which may be considered to include changes in the value of US securities or securities indexes) that occur after the close of the relevant market and before the close of the New York Stock Exchange. The Valuation Designee may utilize modeling tools provided by third-party vendors to determine fair values of non-US securities.
Federal Income Taxes - No provision for federal income taxes has been made as each Fund intends to continue to qualify for federal income tax purposes as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and make the requisite distributions to shareholders. Each Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing each Fund's tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the "more-likely-than-not" threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Management has analyzed each Fund's tax positions taken or expected to be taken on each Fund's federal income tax returns through the year ended August 31, 2024, and for all open tax years (years ended August 31, 2021-August 31, 2023), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in each Fund's financial statements. If applicable, each Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in "Other" on the "Statements of operations." During the year ended August 31, 2024, the Funds did not incur any interest or tax penalties.
Class Accounting- Investment income and common expenses are allocated to the various classes of each Fund on the basis of "settled shares" of each class in relation to the net assets of each Fund. Realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the various classes of each Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of
121

Notes to financial statements
Delaware Funds by Macquarie® state tax-free funds
1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.
Other- Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged directly to each Fund. Other expenses common to various funds within the Delaware Funds by Macquarie® (Delaware Funds) are generally allocated among such funds on the basis of average net assets. Management fees and certain other expenses are paid monthly. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (trade date) for financial reporting purposes. Costs used in calculating realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are those of the specific securities sold. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Income and capital gain distributions from any investment companies (Underlying Funds) in which each Fund invests are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Discounts and premiums on debt securities are accreted or amortized to interest income, respectively, over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Premiums on callable debt securities are amortized to interest income to the earliest call date using the effective interest method. Each Fund declares dividends daily from net investment income and pays the dividends monthly and declares and pays distributions from net realized gain on investments, if any, at least annually. Each Fund may distribute more frequently, if necessary for tax purposes. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Each Fund receives earnings credits from its custodian when positive cash balances are maintained, which may be used to offset custody fees. The expenses paid under this arrangement are included on the "Statements of operations" under "Custodian fees" with the corresponding expenses offset included under "Less expenses paid indirectly." For the year ended August 31, 2024, each Fund earned the following amounts under this arrangement:

US GAAP defines fair value as the price that each Fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. A three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements has been established based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each Fund's
128
Table of Contents
investment in its entirety is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation. The three-level hierarchy of inputs is summarized as follows:
Level 1 − Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments. (Examples: equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, and exchange-traded options contracts)
Level 2 − Other observable inputs, including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, and default rates) or other market-corroborated inputs. (Examples: debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing, broker-quoted securities, and fair valued securities)
Level 3 − Significant unobservable inputs, including each Fund's own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments. (Examples: broker-quoted securities and fair valued securities)
Level 3 investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs. Each Fund may also use an income-based valuation approach in which the anticipated future cash flows of the investment are discounted to calculate fair value. Discounts may also be applied due to the nature or duration of any restrictions on the disposition of the investments. Valuations may also be based upon current market prices of securities that are comparable in coupon, rating, maturity, and industry. The derived value of a Level 3 investment may not represent the value which is received upon disposition and this could impact the results of operations.
The following tables summarize the valuation of each Fund's investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of August 31, 2024:

During the year ended August 31, 2024, there were no transfers into or out of Level 3 investments. Each Fund's policy is to recognize transfers into or out of Level 3 investments based on fair value at the beginning of the reporting year.
A reconciliation of Level 3 investments is presented when a Fund has a significant amount of Level 3 investments at the beginning or end of the year in relation to that Fund's net assets. As of August 31, 2024, there were no Level 3 investments in any of the Funds.
4. Dividend and Distribution Information
Income and long-term capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP. Additionally, distributions from net short-term gains on sales of investment securities are treated as ordinary income for federal income tax purposes. The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended August 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

* A portion of the Fund's capital loss carryforward is subject to limitations under the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations.
The differences between book basis and tax basis components of net assets are primarily attributable to tax treatment of market discount and premium on debt instruments and tax deferral of losses due to wash sales, as applicable.
For financial reporting purposes, capital accounts are adjusted to reflect the tax character of permanent book/tax differences. Reclassifications are primarily due to Fund level overdistribution and reorganization-related adjustments. Results of operations and net assets were not affected

7. Reorganization
On February 15-16, 2023, the Board approved a proposal to reorganize Delaware Ivy California Municipal High Income Fund (the "Acquired Fund"), a series of Ivy Funds, with and into Delaware Tax-Free California Fund (the "Acquiring Fund"), a series of Voyageur Mutual Funds (the "Trust") (the "Reorganization"). On June 27, 2023, the Acquired Fund shareholders approved the Reorganization. Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan"): (i) all of the property, and assets of the Acquired Fund were acquired by the Acquiring Fund and (ii) Voyageur Mutual Funds on behalf of the Acquiring Fund, assumed the liabilities of the Acquired Fund, in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund. In accordance with the Plan, the Acquired Fund liquidated and dissolved following the Reorganization. The Reorganization was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of shares on September 15, 2023. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Acquiring Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from the Acquired Fund was carried forward to align ongoing

reporting of the Acquiring Fund's realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.

* Acquired Fund Class I shares are named Institutional Class for the Acquiring Fund.
** Class Y shares of the Acquired Fund were converted into Class A shares of the Acquiring Fund.
The net assets of the Acquired Fund before the Reorganization were $11,942,940. The Acquired Fund net assets and shares outstanding presented on the table above do not include the shareholders that did not participate in the Reorganization. The net assets of the Acquiring Fund immediately following the Reorganization were $213,704,277.
Assuming the Reorganization had been completed on September 1, 2023, the Acquiring Fund's pro forma results of operations for the year ended August 31, 2024, would have been as follows:
Net investment income $9,352,466
Net realized loss on investments (1,675,553)
Net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) 14,897,182
Net increase in net assets resulting from operations $22,574,095
Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the Reorganization was completed, it is not practical to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Acquired Fund that have been included in the Acquiring Fund's "Statements of operations" since the Reorganization was consummated on September 15, 2023.
8. Line of Credit
Each Fund, along with certain other funds in the Delaware Funds (Participants), was a participant in a $355,000,000 revolving line of credit (Agreement) intended to be used for temporary or emergency purposes as an additional source of liquidity to fund redemptions of investor shares. Under the Agreement, the Participants were charged an annual commitment fee of 0.15%, which was allocated across the Participants based on a weighted average of the respective net assets of each Participant. The Participants were permitted to borrow up to a
137
Table of Contents
Notes to financial statements
Delaware Funds by Macquarie® state tax-free funds
8. Line of Credit (continued)
maximum of one-third of their net assets under the Agreement. Each Participant was individually, and not jointly, liable for its particular advances, if any, under the line of credit. The line of credit available under the Agreement expired on October 30, 2023.
On October 30, 2023, each Fund, along with the other Participants, entered into an amendment to the Agreement for a $335,000,000 revolving line of credit to be used as described above. It operates in substantially the same manner as the original Agreement. Under the amendment to the Agreement, the Participants are charged an annual commitment fee of 0.15%, which is allocated across the Participants based on a weighted average of the respective net assets of each Participant. The line of credit available under the Agreement expires on October 28, 2024.
Each Fund had no amounts outstanding as of August 31, 2024, or at any time during the year then ended.
9. Securities Lending
Each Fund, along with other funds in the Delaware Funds, may lend its securities pursuant to a security lending agreement (Lending Agreement) with The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY). At the time a security is loaned, the borrower must post collateral equal to the required percentage of the market value of the loaned security, including any accrued interest. The required percentage is: (1) 102% with respect to US securities and foreign securities that are denominated and payable in US dollars; and (2) 105% with respect to foreign securities. With respect to each loan, if on any business day the aggregate market value of securities collateral plus cash collateral held is less than the aggregate market value of the securities which are the subject of such loan, the borrower will be notified to provide additional collateral by the end of the following business day, which, together with the collateral already held, will be not less than the applicable initial collateral requirements for such security loan. If the aggregate market value of securities collateral and cash collateral held with respect to a security loan exceeds the applicable initial collateral requirement, upon the request of the borrower, BNY must return enough collateral to the borrower by the end of the following business day to reduce the value of the remaining collateral to the applicable initial collateral requirement for such security loan. As a result of the foregoing, the value of the collateral held with respect to a loaned security on any particular day, may be more or less than the value of the security on loan. The collateral percentage with respect to the market value of the loaned security is determined by the security lending agent.
Cash collateral received by each Fund of the Trust is generally invested in a series of individual separate accounts, each corresponding to a fund. The investment guidelines permit each separate account to hold certain securities that would be considered eligible securities for a money market fund. Cash collateral received is generally invested in government securities; certain obligations issued by government sponsored enterprises; repurchase agreements collateralized by US Treasury securities; obligations issued by the central government of any Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) country or its agencies,
138
Table of Contents
instrumentalities, or establishments; obligations of supranational organizations; commercial paper, notes, bonds, and other debt obligations; certificates of deposit, time deposits, and other bank obligations; certain money market funds; and asset-backed securities. Each Fund can also accept US government securities and letters of credit (non-cash collateral) in connection with securities loans.
In the event of default or bankruptcy by the lending agent, realization and/or retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings. In the event the borrower fails to return loaned securities and the collateral received is insufficient to cover the value of the loaned securities and provided such collateral shortfall is not the result of investment losses, the lending agent has agreed to pay the amount of the shortfall to each Fund or, at the discretion of the lending agent, replace the loaned securities. Each Fund continues to record dividends or interest, as applicable, on the securities loaned and is subject to changes in value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. Each Fund has the right under the Lending Agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. With respect to security loans collateralized by non-cash collateral, each Fund receives loan premiums paid by the borrower. With respect to security loans collateralized by cash collateral, the earnings from the collateral investments are shared among each Fund, the security lending agent, and the borrower. Each Fund records security lending income net of allocations to the security lending agent and the borrower.
Each Fund may incur investment losses as a result of investing securities lending collateral. This could occur if an investment in each collateral investment account defaulted or became impaired. Under those circumstances, the value of each Fund's cash collateral account may be less than the amount each Fund would be required to return to the borrowers of the securities and each Fund would be required to make up for this shortfall.
During the year ended August 31, 2024, each Fund had no securities out on loan.
10. Geographic, Credit and Market Risks
The impact of COVID-19, and other infectious illness outbreaks that may arise in the future, could adversely affect the economies of many nations or the entire global economy, individual issuers and capital markets in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen.
When interest rates rise, fixed income securities (i.e. debt obligations) generally will decline in value. These declines in value are greater for fixed income securities with longer maturities or durations. Interest rate changes are influenced by a number of factors, such as government policy, monetary policy, inflation expectations, and the supply and demand of bonds. A fund may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates when interest rates are low or inflation rates are high or rising.
The Funds concentrate their investments in securities issued by each corresponding state's municipalities. The Funds invest primarily in a specific state and may be subject to geographic concentration risk. In addition, the Funds have the flexibility to invest in issuers in US territories and possessions such as the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, and Guam whose bonds are also free of federal and individual state income taxes. The value of the Funds'
139
Table of Contents
Notes to financial statements
Delaware Funds by Macquarie® state tax-free funds
10. Geographic, Credit and Market Risks (continued)
investments may be adversely affected by new legislation within the US states or territories, regional or local economic conditions, and differing levels of supply and demand for municipal bonds. Many municipalities insure repayment for their obligations. Although bond insurance reduces the risk of loss due to default by an issuer, such bonds remain subject to the risk that value may fluctuate for other reasons and there is no certainty that the insurance company will meet its obligations. A real or perceived decline in creditworthiness of a bond insurer can have an adverse impact on the value of insured bonds held in each Fund.
Each Fund invests a portion of its assets in high yield fixed income securities, which are securities rated lower than BBB- by Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC (S&P) and Baa3 by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. (Moody's), or similarly rated by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization. Investments in these higher yielding securities are generally accompanied by a greater degree of credit risk than higher rated securities. Additionally, lower rated securities may be more susceptible to adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than investment grade securities.
Each Fund invests in certain obligations that may have liquidity protection designed to ensure that the receipt of payments due on the underlying security is timely. Such protection may be provided through guarantees, insurance policies, or letters of credit obtained by the issuer or sponsor through third parties, through various means of structuring the transaction, or through a combination of such approaches. Each Fund will usually not pay any additional fees for such credit support, although the existence of credit support may increase the price of a security.
From time to time, each Fund may invest in industrial development bonds or pollution control revenue bonds that are issued by a conduit authority on behalf of a corporation that is either foreign owned or has international affiliates or operations. While the bonds may be issued to finance a facility located in the US, the bonds may be secured by a payment obligation or guaranty of the corporation. To the extent each Fund invests in such securities, that Fund may be exposed to risks associated with international investments. The risk of international investments not ordinarily associated with US investments includes fluctuation in currency values, differences in accounting principles, and/or economic or political instability in other nations.
Each Fund may invest in advance refunded bonds, escrow secured bonds, or defeased bonds. Under current federal tax laws and regulations, state and local government borrowers are permitted to refinance outstanding bonds by issuing new bonds. The issuer refinances the outstanding debt to either reduce interest costs or to remove or alter restrictive covenants imposed by the bonds being refinanced. A refunding transaction where the municipal securities are being refunded within 90 days from the issuance of the refunding issue is known as a "current refunding." "Advance refunded bonds" are bonds in which the refunded bond issue remains outstanding for more than 90 days following the issuance of the refunding issue. In an advance refunding, the issuer will use the proceeds of a new bond issue to purchase high grade interest-bearing debt securities, which are then deposited in an irrevocable escrow account held by an escrow agent to secure all future payments of principal and interest and bond premium of
140
Table of Contents
the advance refunded bond. Bonds are "escrowed to maturity" when the proceeds of the refunding issue are deposited in an escrow account for investment sufficient to pay all of the principal and interest on the original interest payment and maturity dates.
Bonds are considered "pre-refunded" when the refunding issuer's proceeds are escrowed only until a permitted call date or dates on the refunded issue with the refunded issue being redeemed at the time, including any required premium. Bonds become "defeased" when the rights and interests of the bondholders and of their lien on the pledged revenues or other security under the terms of the bond contract are substituted with an alternative source of revenues (the escrow securities) sufficient to meet payments of principal and interest to maturity or to the first call dates. Escrowed secured bonds will often receive a rating of AAA from Moody's, S&P, and/or Fitch Ratings due to the strong credit quality of the escrow securities and the irrevocable nature of the escrow deposit agreement.
Each Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair each Fund from disposing of them in a timely manner and at a fair price when it is necessary or desirable to do so. While maintaining oversight, the Board has delegated to DMC the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are liquid for purposes of the Funds'
limitation on investments in illiquid securities. Securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, which are determined to be liquid, are not subject to the Funds' 15% limit on investments in illiquid securities. Rule 144A securities have been identified on the "Schedules of investments."
11. Contractual Obligations
Each Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. Each Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. However, each Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed each Fund's existing contracts and expects the risk of loss to be remote.
12. Subsequent Events
On October 28, 2024, each Fund, along with the other Participants, entered into an amendment to the Agreement for a $335,000,000 revolving line of credit to be used as described in Note 8. It operates in substantially the same manner as the original Agreement. Under the amendment to the Agreement, the Participants are charged an annual commitment fee of 0.15%, which is allocated across the Participants based on a weighted average of the respective net assets of each Participant. The line of credit available under the Agreement expires on October 27, 2025.
MIMBT, of which DMC is a series, entered into a settlement agreement on September 19, 2024 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) consenting to an order (Settlement Order) relating to a legacy investment strategy, the Absolute Return Mortgage-Backed Securities

To the Board of Trustees of Voyageur Insured Funds, Voyageur Mutual Funds, Voyageur Mutual Funds II and Delaware Group® State Tax-Free Income Trust and Shareholders of Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund, Delaware Tax-Free California Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund, Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund and Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund
Opinions on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund (constituting Voyageur Insured Funds), Delaware Tax-Free California Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund, Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund (three of the funds constituting Voyageur Mutual Funds), Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund (constituting Voyageur Mutual Funds II) and Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund (constituting Delaware Group® State Tax-Free Income Trust) (hereafter collectively referred to as the "Funds") as of August 31, 2024, the related statements of operations for the year ended August 31, 2024, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2024, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2024 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of August 31, 2024, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2024 and each of the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2024 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds' financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2024, by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Statement Regarding Basis of Approval for Investment Advisory Contract
Board Consideration of Investment Management Agreements at a Meeting Held on August 13-15, 2024
At a meeting held on August 13-15, 2024 (the "Annual Contract Renewal Meeting"), the Board of Trustees (the "Board"), including a majority of Trustees each of whom is not an "interested person" as defined under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Independent Trustees"), approved the renewal of the Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund, Delaware Tax-Free California Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund, Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund, Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund and Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund (each, a "Fund" and together, the "Funds") Investment Management Agreements with Delaware Management Company ("DMC").
Prior to the Annual Contract Renewal Meeting, including at a Board meeting held in May 2024, the Trustees conferred extensively among themselves and with representatives of DMC about these matters. Also, the Board was assisted by the Equity Investments Committee and the Fixed Income Multi-Asset Sub-Advised Funds Investments Committee (each an "Investment Committee" and together, the "Investment Committees"), with each Investment Committee assisting the full Board in reviewing investment performance and other matters throughout the year. The Independent Trustees were also assisted in their evaluation of the Investment Management Agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately.
In providing information to the Board, DMC was guided by a detailed set of requests for information submitted to them by independent legal counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees at the start of the Board's annual contract renewal process earlier in 2024. Prior to the Annual Contract Renewal Meeting, and in response to the requests, the Board received and reviewed materials specifically relating to the renewal of the Investment Management Agreements. In considering and approving the Investment Management Agreements, the Trustees considered the information they believed relevant, including but not limited to the information discussed below. The Board considered not only the specific information presented in connection with the Annual Contract Renewal Meeting and the review process for the

Delaware Funds by Macquarie® state tax-free funds
Board Consideration of Investment Management Agreements at a Meeting Held on August 13-15, 2024 (continued)
Investment Management Agreements, but also the knowledge gained over time through interaction with DMC about various topics. In this regard, the Board reviewed reports of DMC at each of its quarterly meetings, which included information about, among other things, Fund performance, investment strategies, and expenses. In addition, the Investment Committees confer with portfolio managers at various times throughout the year. In considering information relating to the approval of the Funds' Investment Management Agreements, the Independent Trustees also received information from an independent fund consultant, JDL Consultants,
LLC ("JDL").
The Board did not identify any particular information or consideration that was all-important or controlling, and each individual Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors.
After its deliberations, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the continuation of the Investment Management Agreements for a one-year term. The following summarizes a number of important, but not necessarily all of the, factors considered by the Board in support of its approval.
Nature, extent, and quality of services.The Board received and considered various information regarding the nature, extent, and quality of the advisory services provided to the Funds by DMC under its Investment Management Agreements and the experience of the officers and employees of DMC who provide these services, including each Fund's portfolio managers. The Board met with DMC's senior management and investment personnel. The Board reviewed the materials provided by the Funds' portfolio management team discussing its performance, investment strategies and outlook, as well as DMC with respect to comparing Fund performance to the performance of a comparable group of mutual funds, relevant benchmarks, and performance metrics, as applicable. The Board's review included consideration of DMC's investment oversight and research and analysis capabilities, and its ability to attract and retain skilled investment professionals. The Board also considered information regarding DMC's programs for risk management, including investment, operational, liquidity, derivatives (as applicable), valuation and compliance risks and its plans for enhancing those programs (including through the allocation of additional resources and enhancements to existing processes and testing). The Board received information with respect to the cybersecurity program and business continuity plans of DMC and its affiliates, as well as information from Macquarie Group Ltd. ("Macquarie"), the parent company of DMC, regarding Macquarie's commitment to the U.S. mutual fund business.
In addition, the Board considered certain non-advisory services that DMC and its affiliates provide to the fund complex. Among other things, these services include third party service provider oversight, transfer agency, internal audit, pricing and valuation, portfolio trading, and legal and compliance functions. The Board noted DMC's responsibility for overseeing: the preparation of the Funds' prospectus, summary prospectus, statement of additional information,
146
Table of Contents
and shareholder reports; responsibility for other periodic filings with regulators; organizing Board meetings and preparing materials for such Board meetings; and furnishing analytical and other support to assist the Board.
The Board took into account the benefits to shareholders of investing in a Fund that is part of a family of funds managed by an affiliate of Macquarie, and the resources available to DMC as part of Macquarie's global asset management business.
The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by DMC to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Funds. In this regard, the Board received information about the significantly greater scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal and regulatory obligations and risks of managing registered investment companies compared with those associated with managing assets of other types of clients, including third-party sub-advised fund clients, unregistered funds and separately managed accounts.
The Board concluded that, overall, it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of services provided (and expected to be provided) to the Funds by DMC.
Investment performance.The Board received and considered information with respect to the investment performance of the Funds, including performance reports and discussions with portfolio managers at meetings of the Board's Investment Committees throughout the year as well as reports provided by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., an independent investment company data provider ("Broadridge"), furnished for the Annual Contract Renewal Meeting. The Broadridge reports prepared for each Fund's institutional share class showed its investment performance in comparison to the institutional share class of a group of similar funds (the "Performance Universe"). The Board received a description of the methodology used to select the peer funds in the Performance Universe. Comparative annualized performance for each Fund was shown for the past 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year or since inception periods, as applicable, ended December 31, 2023.
Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund. The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional "other states" municipal debt funds, regardless of asset size or primary channel of distribution. The Board noted that the Broadridge report comparison showed that the Fund's total return for the 1-, 5-, and 10-year periods was in the first quartile of its Performance Universe and for the 3-year period was in the second quartile of its Performance Universe. The Broadridge report comparison showed that the Fund's total return for the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods was above the median of its Performance Universe. The Board also noted that the Fund outperformed its benchmark index for the 1- and 10-year periods and underperformed its benchmark index for the 3- and 5-year periods. The Board noted that the Fund was generally outperforming its Performance Universe during the periods under review. The Board also noted the explanations from DMC concerning the reasons for the Fund's relative performance versus its benchmark index for the various periods and any actions that DMC has taken to address performance concerns.
Delaware Tax-Free California Fund. The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional California municipal debt funds, regardless of asset size or

primary channel of distribution.

The Broadridge report comparison showed that the Fund's total return for the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods was above the median of its Performance Universe. The Board also noted that the Fund outperformed its benchmark index for the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods. The Board noted that the Fund was generally outperforming its Performance Universe and benchmark index during the periods under review.
Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund. The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional "other states" municipal debt funds, regardless of asset size or primary channel of distribution. The Board noted that the Broadridge report comparison showed that the Fund's total return for the 1-,3-, 5-, and 10-year periods was in the first quartile of its Performance Universe. The Broadridge report comparison showed that the Fund's total return for the 1, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods was above the median of its Performance Universe. The Board also noted that the Fund outperformed its benchmark index for the 1- and 10-year periods and performed approximately equal to its benchmark index for the 3- and 5-year periods. The Board noted that the Fund was generally outperforming or in line with its Performance Universe and benchmark index during the periods under review.
Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund. The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional "other states" municipal debt funds, regardless of asset size or primary channel of distribution. The Board noted that the Broadridge report comparison showed that the Fund's total return for the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods was in the first quartile of its Performance Universe. The Broadridge report comparison showed that the Fund's total return for the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods was above the median of its Performance Universe.

The Board noted that the Fund was generally outperforming its Performance Universe during the periods under review. The Board also noted the explanations from DMC concerning the reasons for the Fund's relative performance versus its benchmark index for the various periods and any actions that DMC has taken to address performance concerns.
Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund.

The Performance Universe for the Fund consisted of the Fund and all retail and institutional Pennsylvania municipal debt funds, regardless of asset size or primary channel of distribution. The Board noted that the Broadridge report comparison showed that the Fund's total return for the 1-, 3-, 5-, and 10-year periods was in the first quartile of its Performance Universe.

The Board noted that the Fund was generally outperforming its Performance Universe and benchmark index during the periods under review.
Comparative expenses.The Board received and considered expense data for the Funds. DMC provided the Board with information on pricing levels and fee structures for each Fund as of its most recently completed fiscal year. The Broadridge total expenses (reflecting any applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements), for comparative consistency, were shown by Broadridge for Institutional Class shares, including 12b-1 and non-12b-1 service fees (as applicable). The Board also considered the comparative analysis of contractual management fees and actual total expense ratios of each Fund versus contractual management fees and actual total expense ratios of a group of peer funds as selected by Broadridge (the "Expense Group"). Each Fund's total expenses were also compared with those of its Expense Universe, which is comprised of the Fund, its Expense Group and all other similar with an institutional share class (i.e., funds without 12b-1 fees and non-12b-1 service fees) with assets equal to or greater than $100 million, excluding outliers (the "Expense Universe"). In reviewing comparative costs, each Fund's contractual management fee and the actual management fee incurred by each Fund were compared with the contractual management fees (assuming all funds in the Expense Group were similar in size to each Fund) and actual management fees, taking into account any applicable breakpoints and fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, with a Fund's Expense Universe.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund's net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees, custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder service fees.
Delaware Tax-Free Arizona Fund. The expense comparisons for the Fund showed that its actual management fee was below the median of its Expense Universe and its actual total expenses were above its Expense Group average. It was noted that consistent with DMC's waiver methodology, its advisory fee waivers, if any, were at the fund level and not class level.
Delaware Tax-Free California Fund. The expense comparisons for the Fund showed that its actual management fee was below the median of its Expense Universe and its actual total expenses were above its Expense Group average. It was noted that consistent with DMC's waiver methodology, its advisory fee waivers, if any, were at the fund level and not class level.
Delaware Tax-Free Colorado Fund. The expense comparisons for the Fund showed that its actual management fee was below the median of its Expense Universe and its actual total expenses were above its Expense Group average. It was noted that consistent with DMC's waiver methodology, its advisory fee waivers, if any, were at the fund level and not class level.

Delaware Tax-Free Idaho Fund. The expense comparisons for the Fund showed that its actual management fee was below the median of its Expense Universe and its actual total expenses were above its Expense Group average. It was noted that consistent with DMC's waiver methodology, its advisory fee waivers, if any, were at the fund level and not class level.
Delaware Tax-Free New York Fund. The expense comparisons for the Fund showed that its actual management fee was below the median of its Expense Universe and its actual total expenses were above its Expense Group average. It was noted that consistent with DMC's waiver methodology, its advisory fee waivers, if any, were at the fund level and not class level.
Delaware Tax-Free Pennsylvania Fund. The expense comparisons for the Fund showed that its actual management fee was above the median of its Expense Universe and its actual total expenses were above its Expense Group average. It was noted that consistent with DMC's waiver methodology, its advisory fee waivers, if any, were at the fund level and not class level.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to DMC under the Investment Management Agreements was reasonable.
Economies of scale.The Board received and considered information about the potential for DMC to realize economies of scale in the provision of management services to the Funds, the difficulties of calculating economies of scale at an individual Fund level, and the extent to which potential scale benefits are shared with shareholders, including the extent to which any economies of scale are reflected in the level of management fees charged. DMC discussed its advisory fee pricing and structure for the complex, including the current breakpoints. The Board considered the continuation and/or implementation of contractual fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, as applicable. The Board noted that each Fund may also benefit from economies of scale through initial fee setting, fee waivers and expense reimbursements, as well as DMC's investment in its business, including investments in business infrastructure, technology and cybersecurity.
Management profitability. The Board received and considered the Investment Management Profitability Analysis that addressed the overall profitability of DMC's business in providing management and other services to each Fund and the complex as a whole, including the methodology used by DMC in allocating costs for the purpose of determining profitability. The Board also reviewed a report prepared by JDL regarding DMC's profitability as compared to certain peer fund complexes and the Independent Trustees discussed DMC's profitability in such context with representatives from JDL. The Board recognized that calculating and comparing profitability at the individual fund level is difficult; that DMC's profit, if any, can vary significantly depending on the particular fund; and that DMC's support for, and commitment to, a fund are not solely dependent on the profits realized as to that fund.
Based on its review, the Board determined that DMC's profitability was not excessive in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to each Fund.

Ancillary benefits.The Board received and considered information regarding the extent to which DMC and its affiliates might derive ancillary benefits from fund operations, including the potential for procuring additional business as a result of the prestige and visibility associated with its role as investment manager to the complex; the benefits from allocation of fund brokerage to improve trading efficiencies; the portfolio transactions executed through "soft dollar" arrangements; and the fees that various affiliates received for serving as transfer agent and for overseeing fund accounting and financial administration services to the complex. The Board considered that it receives periodic reports from DMC that include a representation that any soft dollar arrangements are consistent with regulatory requirements. The Board received information from DMC regarding its view of the performance of its affiliates in providing transfer agent and fund accounting and financial administration oversight services and the organizational structure employed to provide these services pursuant to their contracts with the Funds.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including the costs of providing investment management and other services to the Funds and the ongoing commitment of DMC and its affiliates to the Funds, the Board did not find that any ancillary benefits received by DMC and its affiliates were unreasonable.
Conclusion. Based on its review, consideration and evaluation of all factors it believed relevant, including the above-described factors and conclusions, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved the continuation of DMC's Investment Management Agreements for an additional one-year period.
