Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust

President’s Letter

Dear Fellow Investors,

2020 was a year of surprises and uncertainty as the spread of the global pandemic led to the sharpest – but shortest – US recession in modern history. In response, the size and speed of the comprehensive government stimulus was unprecedented as the Federal Reserve Board lowered interest rates to zero, expanded their bond buying, and for the first time ever, purchased corporate debt to calm markets. This monetary stimulus was matched by a historic amount of fiscal stimulus, which provided relief to individuals and small businesses negatively impacted by the pandemic. In turn, after experiencing the single most volatile period in history, equity markets rebounded with the strongest rally out of a bear market since 1932.

As we reflect more deeply on the underlying market drivers throughout the year, 2020 can be characterized by three distinct periods. January 1st through February 19th was a constructive period, as 2020 economic growth was expected to continue at the same solid pace as 2019. However, as markets began to anticipate the economic impact of the rapid onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the ensuing recession, the S&P 500 declined 35% from February 19th through March 23rd, with the VIX rising from 15 to a high of nearly 83 as evidence of the volatility incurred during this period. From March 23rd through the end of the year, investors began to anticipate a post-pandemic economic rebound, which led to a domestic equity market recovery that eradicated the losses of the short-lived bear market and allowed the S&P 500 to finish the year at a record high.

Domestic fixed income also generated solid returns in 2020. After a relatively normal start to the year, the Federal Reserve preemptively cut the Fed Funds rate to near zero and instituted $2.3 trillion in lending programs as it became clear that both monetary and fiscal stimulus would be required to offset the anticipated steep declines in economic activity that would result from safety measures taken to contain the COVID-19 pandemic. Consequently, return patterns were analogous to those seen in the equity markets. The year started normally, but there was significant movement in rates between February 19th and March 23rd, as the 10-year Treasury yield reached an intraday record low of 0.32% on March 9th, while investment grade corporate and high yield bonds incurred losses during this period. Ultimately, corporate bonds recovered to erase all losses and generated solid returns for the year. The 10-year Treasury yield settled at 0.92% at year end, down from 1.92% at the end of 2019.

Finally, there continued to be dispersion in performance across investment styles and geographies. Like 2017 – 2019, growth stocks continued to materially outperform value. Also, in recent years, large cap equities materially outperformed small caps and US equities outperformed non-US equities, but that began to change in 2020. Specifically, domestic small caps outperformed large caps while domestic large caps and emerging market equities recorded nearly identical returns. But non-US equities in developed markets continued to lag US equities. An emerging trend that bears watching as 2020 ended was that value had a strong fourth quarter relative to growth.

As we move into 2021, we believe that three key macro themes are front and center: The virus - in the early part of 2021 market practitioners expect the pace of the economic recovery to slow before it gets better, as virus case counts are elevated in the winter months and fiscal support from the earlier stimulus subsides. The good news is that the potential for broad-scale distribution of vaccinations is moving forward, and the economy is positioned to reaccelerate in the spring of 2021.

A new government administration - while there will likely be plusses and minuses for the market and the economy over the next few years, the market is anticipating some early positives in the form of fiscal stimulus. President Biden’s fiscal stimulus plan calls for additional direct stimulus payments to individuals, extension of unemployment benefits, as well as state fiscal aid, and new funds for schools and public health funding. On the heels of the proposed plans, we’ve seen leading economists now forecasting 2021 GDP to be over 6.6% and for the unemployment rate to come back down to nearly 4.5%. We believe that this would be great news and very supportive for markets. On the flip side, longer term, the market is certainly keeping an eye on historically elevated equity valuations the potential for higher tax rates.

Monetary policy and the potential return of inflation - Monetary policy is anticipated to remain accommodative, as the Fed waits to see a more sustainable inflationary backdrop, rather than risk pre- emptive tightening and the potential for policy error in the early stages of recovery. And, while it’s unlikely central banks will let bond yields rise too far, there is room for long rates to move higher, as confidence in a sustained recovery grows and pricing pressures create more uncertainty around inflation.

Considering this evolving economic backdrop, it is an important time to evaluate the risks in your portfolio with your financial advisor to ensure you are properly diversified based on your time horizon, financial goals and risk tolerance. We are continuing to enhance our LVIP funds in order to provide a more robust and cost-effective universe of equity, fixed income, passive, rules based and traditional actively managed investment options that can help you achieve your unique objectives.

We hope you find the materials included in this annual report helpful as you evaluate your investments with us. Thank you for your continued trust in Lincoln Financial Group, and we wish you a healthy and prosperous 2021. Sincerely,

Jayson R. Bronchetti

This Expense Analysis is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Expense Analysis is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020. Actual Expenses The first section of the table, “Actual”, provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section of the table, 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 the period. Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes The second section of the table, “Hypothetical”, provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses cannot be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You can use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. The Fund does not charge transaction fees, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the second section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. The Fund’s expenses shown in the table reflect fee waivers in effect.

LVIP SSGA International Index Fund–19 LVIP SSGA International Index Fund Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 2020

Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (“LVIP” or the “Trust”) is a Delaware statutory trust. The Trust consists of 94 series, each of which is treated as a separate entity for certain matters under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and for other purposes. A shareholder of one series is not deemed to be a shareholder of any other series. These financial statements and the related notes pertain to the LVIP SSGA International Index Fund (the “Fund”). The financial statements of the Trust’s other series are included in separate reports to their shareholders. The Trust is an open-end investment company. The Fund is a diversified management investment company registered under the 1940 Act. The Fund sells its shares directly or indirectly to The Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”) and Lincoln Life & Annuity Company of New York (“LNY”), and to unaffiliated insurance companies. Lincoln Life and LNY hold the Fund’s shares in separate accounts that support various variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek to approximate as closely as practicable, before fees and expenses, the performance of a broad market index of non-U.S. foreign securities.

1. Significant Accounting Policies The Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Fund follows the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The following accounting policies are in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are consistently followed by the Fund. Security Valuation–Equity securities, except those traded on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), are valued at the last quoted sales price as of the time of the regular close of the New York Stock Exchange on the valuation date. Equity securities traded on Nasdaq are valued in accordance with the Nasdaq Official Closing Price, which may not be the last sale price. If on a particular day an equity security does not trade, then the mean between the bid and ask prices is used, which approximates fair value. Securities listed on a foreign exchange are valued at the last quoted sales price on the valuation date. Open-end investment companies are valued at their published net asset value (“NAV”). Investments in government money market funds have a stable NAV. Other securities and assets for which market quotations are not reliable or readily available are generally valued at fair value as determined in good faith under policies adopted by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining whether market quotations are reliable or readily available, various factors are taken into consideration, such as market closures or suspension of trading in a security. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities traded primarily in non-U.S. markets because, among other things, most foreign markets close well before the Fund values its securities, generally as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The earlier close of these foreign markets gives rise to the possibility that significant events, including broad market moves, government actions or pronouncements, aftermarket trading, or news events may have occurred in the interim. To account for this, the Fund may value foreign securities using fair value prices based on third-party vendor modeling tools (“international fair value pricing”). Futures contracts are valued at the daily quoted settlement prices. Federal Income Taxes–No provision for federal income taxes has been made because the 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 and to make the requisite distributions to shareholders. The Fund evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Fund’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions deemed not to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax expense in the current year. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken or to be taken on the Fund’s federal income tax returns through the year ended December 31, 2020 and for all open tax years (years ended December 31, 2017-December 31, 2019), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. If applicable, the Fund recognizes interest accrued on unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in other expenses on the Statement of Operations. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Fund did not incur any interest or tax penalties. Class Accounting–Investment income, common expenses, and realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investments are allocated to the classes of the Fund on the basis of daily net assets of each class. Distribution expenses relating to a specific class are charged directly to that class. Foreign Currency Transactions– Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are recorded at the prevailing exchange rates on the transaction date in accordance with the Fund’s prospectus. The value of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies is translated daily into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Transaction gains or losses resulting from changes in exchange rates during the reporting period or upon settlement of the foreign currency transaction are reported in operations for the current period. The Fund does not separate the portion of realized gains and losses on foreign equity securities, derivatives denominated in foreign currency or resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates from that which is due to changes in market prices. These changes are included in net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments. The Fund reports certain foreign currency related transactions as components of realized gains (losses) for financial reporting purposes, whereas such components are treated as ordinary income (loss) for federal income tax purposes.

LVIP SSGA International Index Fund–20 LVIP SSGA International Index Fund Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

1. Significant Accounting Policies (continued) Use of Estimates–The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the fair value of investments, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, 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 common to all series of the Trust are allocated to each series based on their relative net assets. Expenses exclusive to a specific series of the Trust are charged directly to the applicable series. Security transactions are recorded on the date the securities are purchased or sold (i.e., the 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. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Taxable non-cash dividends are recorded as dividend income. Foreign dividends are also recorded on the ex-dividend date or as soon after the ex-dividend date that the Fund is aware of such dividends, net of all tax withholdings not eligible for rebates. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends are recorded in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. In addition, the Fund may be subject to foreign taxes on other income, gains on investments, or currency repatriation. The Fund accrues such taxes, as applicable, as a reduction of the related income and realized and unrealized gain as and when such income is earned. The Fund declares and distributes dividends from net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, are declared and distributed annually. Dividends and distributions, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Subject to seeking best execution, the Fund may direct certain security trades to brokers who have agreed to rebate a portion of the related brokerage commissions to the Fund in cash. In general, best execution refers to many factors, including the price paid or received for a security, the commission charged, the promptness and reliability of execution, the confidentiality and placement of the transaction, and other factors affecting the overall benefit obtained by the Fund on the transaction. There were no commission rebates for the year ended December 31, 2020.

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) is a registered investment adviser and wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln Life, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lincoln National Corporation. LIAC is responsible for overall management of the Fund’s investment portfolio, including monitoring of the Fund’s investment sub-adviser, and providing certain administrative services to the Fund. For its services, LIAC receives a management fee at an annual rate of 0.40% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. LIAC has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its advisory fee as follows: 0.087% on the first $1 billion of the Fund’s average daily net assets and 0.135% of the Fund’s average daily net assets in excess of $1 billion. The agreement will continue at least through April 30, 2021, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Board and LIAC. The management fee, net of waivers, is calculated daily and paid monthly. LIAC has contractually agreed to reimburse the Fund to the extent that the Fund’s Operating Expenses exceed 0.40% of the average daily net assets for the Standard Class and 0.65% for the Service Class. The reimbursement is accrued daily and received monthly. This agreement will continue through at least April 30, 2021, and cannot be terminated before that date without the mutual agreement of the Board and LIAC. LIAC retains the right to receive reimbursements of excess amounts waived or paid by LIAC under the expense limitation agreement. The Fund has agreed to such reimbursements, for a period of three years after the occurrence of any waiver and/or reimbursement, provided that the Fund is able to effect such payments to LIAC and remain in compliance with the operating expenses limitation in effect at the time the waiver or payment of excess amounts occurred and the operating expenses limitation in effect at the time such reimbursement is sought. As of December 31, 2020, no expense reimbursements were subject to recoupment. SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”) is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investment portfolio. For these services, LIAC, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser a fee based on the Fund’s average daily net assets. Pursuant to an administration agreement with the Trust, Lincoln Life provides various administrative services necessary for the operation of the Fund. For these services, the Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of administrative and internal legal services, which is included in “Accounting and administration expenses” on the Statement of Operations. For the year ended December 31, 2020, costs for these administrative and legal services were as follows: Administrative ...... $177,324 Legal...... 31,382 Lincoln Life also provides certain contract holder and additional corporate services to the Fund. The Fund pays Lincoln Life a fee for such services at an annual rate of 0.029% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, calculated daily and paid monthly. The fee is included in “Shareholder servicing fees” on the Statement of Operations.

LVIP SSGA International Index Fund–21 LVIP SSGA International Index Fund Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

2. Management Fees and Other Transactions With Affiliates (continued) Lincoln Life also prints and mails Fund documents on behalf of the Fund. The cost of these services is included in “Reports and statements to shareholders” on the Statement of Operations. The Fund reimburses Lincoln Life for the cost of these services, which amounted to $37,662 for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Fund currently offers two classes of shares: the Standard Class and the Service Class. The two classes of shares are identical, except that Service Class shares are subject to a distribution and service fee (“12b-1 Fee”). Pursuant to its distribution and service plan, the Fund is authorized to pay, out of the assets of the Service Class shares, Lincoln Life, LNY, or others, an annual 12b-1 Fee at a rate not to exceed 0.35% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares, as compensation or reimbursement for services rendered and/or expenses borne. The Trust has entered into a distribution agreement with Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (“LFD”), an affiliate of LIAC. The 12b-1 Fee is 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the Service Class shares. The 12b-1 Fee can be adjusted only with the consent of the Board. The fee is calculated daily and paid monthly. At December 31, 2020, the Fund had liabilities payable to affiliates as follows: Management fees payable to LIAC ...... $703,937 Distribution fees payable to LFD ...... 65,138 Shareholder servicing fees payable to Lincoln Life . 72,586 Certain officers and trustees of the Fund are also officers or directors of Lincoln Life and its affiliates and receive no compensation from the Fund. The Fund pays compensation to unaffiliated trustees.

3. Investments For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Fund made purchases and sales of investment securities other than short-term investments as follows: Purchases ...... $507,448,336 Sales...... 877,959,844 At December 31, 2020, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments for federal income tax purposes were as follows: Cost of investments and derivatives ...... $2,035,964,577 Aggregate unrealized appreciation of investments and derivatives...... $1,061,234,907 Aggregate unrealized depreciation of investments and derivatives...... (125,216,060) Net unrealized appreciation of investments and derivatives...... $ 936,018,847

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that the 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 developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. Each 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 below. Level 1–inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies, futures contracts, 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) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, swap contracts, foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing) Level 3–inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., indicative quotes from brokers, fair valued securities)

LVIP SSGA International Index Fund–22 LVIP SSGA International Index Fund Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

3. Investments (continued) Level 3 investments are valued using significant unobservable inputs, including related or comparable assets or liabilities, recent transactions, market multiples, book values, and other relevant information for the investment to determine the fair value of the investment. The 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 table summarizes the valuation of the Fund’s investments by fair value hierarchy levels as of December 31, 2020:

* Includes securities that have been valued at zero on the ЉStatement of Net AssetsЉ that are considered to be Level 3 investments in this table. As a result of utilizing International fair value pricing at December 31, 2020, a portion of the portfolio was categorized as Level 2. During the year ended December 31, 2020, there were no material transfers to or from Level 3 investments.

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 U.S. GAAP. These differences are primarily due to wash sales and mark-to-market of futures contracts, tax treatment of passive foreign investment

LVIP SSGA International Index Fund–23 LVIP SSGA International Index Fund Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

4. Dividend and Distribution Information (continued) companies (“PFIC”),partnership basis adjustment and former tax treatment of passive foreign investment companies (“PFIC”). The fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the net investment income and net realized gains are recorded by the Fund for financial reporting purposes. The tax character of dividends and distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:

Year Ended 12/31/20 12/31/19 Ordinaryincome...... $66,366,507 $77,785,000

5. Components of Distributable Earnings on a Tax Basis As of December 31, 2020, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows: Undistributed ordinary income...... $ 4,594,272 Capital loss carryforward...... (306,468,476) Other temporary differences...... (2) Net unrealized appreciation ...... 936,739,442 Distributable earnings/(accumulated loss) ...... $ 634,865,236

For financial reporting purposes, any permanent differences resulting from different book and tax treatment are reclassified between distributable earnings/(accumulated loss) and paid-in capital. Results of operations and net assets are not affected by these reclassifications. For the year ended December 31, 2020, there were no permanent differences requiring a reclassification. The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the “Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2010. The Act made changes to several tax rules, including providing for the unlimited carryover of future capital losses. The Act also provides that each capital loss carryforward retains its character as short-term or long-term capital loss. As of December 31, 2020, the Fund had the following capital loss carryforwards for federal income tax purposes:

Post-Enactment Losses (No Expiration) Long-Term Total $306,468,476 $306,468,476

6. Capital Shares Transactions in capital shares were as follows:

7. Derivatives U.S. GAAP requires disclosures that enable shareholders to understand: 1) how and why an entity uses derivatives; 2) how they are accounted for; and 3) how they affect an entity’s results of operations and financial position. Futures Contracts–The Fund may use futures contracts in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and strategies. The Fund may invest in futures contracts to hedge the Fund’s existing portfolio securities against fluctuations in value caused by changes in interest rates or market conditions; as a cash management tool; to hedge currency risks associated with the Fund’s investments; to facilitate investments in portfolio securities; and to reduce costs. The Fund uses index futures contracts to a limited extent, with the objectives of maintaining full exposure to the stock market, enhancing returns, maintaining liquidity and minimizing costs. In addition, the Fund may take long or short positions in futures to seek to stabilize overall portfolio volatility and to hedge overall market risk. Upon entering into a futures contract, the

7. Derivatives (continued) Fund deposits U.S. or foreign cash or pledges U.S. government securities to a broker, equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent payments are received from the broker or paid to the broker each day, based on the daily fluctuation in the market value of the contract. These receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded daily by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed. When the contracts are closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Risks of entering into futures contracts include potential imperfect correlation between the futures contracts and the underlying securities and the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for these instruments. When investing in futures, there is reduced counterparty credit risk to the Fund because futures are exchange-traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees against default. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Fund used futures contracts to facilitate investments in portfolio securities; to reduce transaction costs and as a cash management tool. Fair values of derivative instruments as of December 31, 2020 were as follows:

Long Derivative Short Derivative Volume Volume Futures contracts (average notional value) ...... $40,659,068 $— In order to better define its contractual rights and to secure rights to help the Fund mitigate its counterparty risk, the Fund may enter into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. Master Agreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement with derivative contract counterparties. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between the Fund and a counterparty that governs over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives and foreign currency exchange contracts and typically contains, among other things, collateral posting items and netting provisions in the event of a default or termination event. Under an ISDA Master Agreement, the Fund may, under certain circumstances, offset with the counterparty certain derivative financial instrument payables and/or receivables with collateral held and/or posted and create one single net payment. The provisions of an ISDA Master Agreement typically permit a single net payment in the event of default (close-out) netting including the bankruptcy or insolvency of the counterparty. However, bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Net Assets. At December 31, 2020, the Fund had no assets and liabilities subject to offsetting provisions.

8. Risk Factors Some countries in which the Fund may invest require governmental approval for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors. In addition, if there is deterioration in a country’s balance of payments or for other reasons, a country may impose temporary restrictions on foreign capital remittances abroad.

LVIP SSGA International Index Fund–25 LVIP SSGA International Index Fund Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

8. Risk Factors (continued) The securities exchanges of certain foreign markets are substantially smaller, less liquid and more volatile than the major securities markets in the United States. Consequently, acquisition and disposition of securities by the Fund may be inhibited. In addition, a significant portion of the aggregate market value of equity securities listed on the major securities exchanges in emerging markets is held by a smaller number of investors. This may limit the number of shares available for acquisition or disposition by the Fund. Foreign currency fluctuations or economic or financial instability could cause the value of foreign investments to fluctuate. Foreign currency risk is the risk that the U.S. dollar value of foreign investments may be negatively affected by changes in foreign (non-U.S.) currency rates. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time. The Fund may invest in illiquid securities, which may include securities with contractual restrictions on resale, securities exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other securities which may not be readily marketable. The relative illiquidity of these securities may impair the 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 Fund’s Board has delegated to LIAC, the day-to-day functions of determining whether individual securities are illiquid for purposes of the Fund’s 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 Fund’s limit on investments in illiquid securities. Natural or environmental disasters, such as earthquakes, fires, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis, and other severe weather-related phenomena generally, and widespread disease and illness, including pandemics and epidemics, have been and can be highly disruptive to economies and markets. They may adversely impact individual companies, sectors, industries, markets, currencies, interest and inflation rates, credit ratings, investor sentiment, and other factors affecting the value of the Fund’s investments. For example, the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), which was first detected in 2019, has resulted in, among other things, stressors to healthcare service infrastructure, country border closings, business and school closings, and disruptions to supply chains and customer activity. Natural disaster/epidemic risk could have a significant adverse impact on the Fund’s portfolio investments.

9. Contractual Obligations The Fund enters into contracts in the normal course of business that contain a variety of indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown; however, the Fund has not had prior claims or losses pursuant to these contracts. Management has reviewed the Fund’s existing contracts and expects the risk of material loss to be remote.

10. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an Accounting Standards Update, ASU No. 2018-13, which changes certain fair value measurement disclosure requirements. The ASU, in addition to other modifications and additions, removes the requirement to disclose the amount and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the policy for the timing of transfers between levels and the valuation process for Level 3 fair value measurements. As of December 31, 2018, the Trust had early adopted the removal of applicable disclosures. The ASU was fully adopted in the current period and the implementation of the ASU did not have an impact on the Fund’s financial statements.

11. Subsequent Events Management has determined that no material events or transactions occurred that would require recognition or disclosure in the Fund’s financial statements.

LVIP SSGA International Index Fund–26 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Trustees of LVIP SSGA International Index Fund Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of LVIP SSGA International Index Fund (the “Fund”) (one of the series constituting Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (the “Trust”)) as of December 31, 2020, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund (one of the series constituting Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust) at December 31, 2020, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (ЉPCAOBЉ) and are required to be independent with respect to the Trust in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2020, by correspondence with the custodian and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from others were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more LVIP investment companies since 1981. , Pennsylvania February 26, 2021

LVIP SSGA International Index Fund–27 LVIP SSGA International Index Fund Other Fund Information (unaudited) Approval of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements On August 12 and September 1-2, 2020, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Lincoln Variable Insurance Products Trust (the “Trust”) met to consider, among other things, (i) the renewal of the investment management agreement between the Trust and Lincoln Investment Advisors Corporation (“LIAC”) and (ii) the renewal of the subadvisory agreements with various subadvisers (collectively, with the investment management agreement, the “Advisory Agreements”) for various series of the Trust (collectively the “Funds”). The trustees of the Trust who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) (the “Independent Trustees”) had requested and reviewed materials provided by LIAC, Lincoln National Life Insurance Company (“Lincoln Life”), Morningstar of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Morningstar”), an independent provider of investment company data and the subadvisers prior to and during the meetings, and had reviewed a memorandum from their independent legal counsel that advised them of their fiduciary duties pertaining to renewal of investment management and subadvisory agreements and the factors they should consider in evaluating such agreements. Among other information, LIAC, Lincoln Life, Morningstar and the subadvisers provided information to assist the Independent Trustees in assessing the nature, extent and quality of services provided, information comparing the investment performance, management fees and operating expense ratio of the Fund to other funds, information about estimated profitability and/or financial condition, and compliance and regulatory matters. After reviewing the information received, the Independent Trustees requested supplemental information and LIAC and the applicable subadvisers provided materials in response. The Independent Trustees and their independent legal counsel met separately from the “interested” trustee, Trust officers and Lincoln Life employees to consider the renewal of the Advisory Agreements. The Board was assisted in its evaluation by the Investment Committee of the Board, which meets with LIAC quarterly and monitors investment performance, and by the Audit Committee of the Board, which meets with LIAC quarterly and monitors the Fund’s expenses, among other matters. The Board also receives information about the Fund from LIAC, Lincoln Life and the various portfolio management teams providing services to the Fund throughout the year in connection with the regular quarterly Board meetings. The Board determined that, given the totality of the information provided with respect to each Advisory Agreement, the Board had received sufficient information to approve the Advisory Agreements for the Fund. In considering the renewal of the Advisory Agreements, the Board did not identify any single factor or group of factors as all-important or controlling, and considered a variety of factors in its analysis including those discussed below. The Board did not allot a particular weight to any one factor or group of factors.

Approval of Investment Management Agreement Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the renewal of the investment management agreement with LIAC, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Fund by LIAC, including LIAC personnel and resources and LIAC’s criteria for review of a subadviser’s performance. The Board reviewed the services provided by LIAC in serving as investment adviser, including the backgrounds of the personnel providing the investment management services and the compliance staff. They also reviewed information provided regarding compliance and regulatory matters. The Board also considered that certain Lincoln Life personnel provide services to the Fund on behalf of LIAC and that Lincoln Life provides administrative services to the Fund under an administration agreement. The Board concluded that the services provided by LIAC were satisfactory. Performance. The Board reviewed performance information (including total return, standard deviation and Sharpe ratio) provided by Morningstar for the standard class of the Fund compared to the performance of funds in a peer group of a Morningstar category underlying variable insurance products (“Morningstar peer group”) and a benchmark index for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods, as applicable, ended March 31, 2020. The Board also received total return information for the Fund compared to the quarterly average total return of funds in the respective Morningstar category. The Board referred to information prepared by LIAC evaluating the Fund’s performance. These reports include performance information for the Fund (including total return, standard deviation and Sharpe ratio) compared to the performance of the respective Morningstar category and a benchmark index for various periods and commentary regarding the factors believed to have impacted the Fund’s performance, such as market conditions and the impact of portfolio construction. The Board considered that LIAC actively monitors the Fund’s performance and works with the Investment Committee of the Board in analyzing performance issues. The Board also noted that past performance is only one of the factors that it considers in evaluating the renewal of the Advisory Agreement. The Board considered that LIAC does not manage the day-to-day investment portfolio of the Fund and has delegated those duties to unaffiliated subadvisers responsible for investment performance. The Board noted the ongoing oversight activities performed by LIAC, including review of returns on a relative and absolute basis, evaluation of brokerage execution quality and on-site compliance reviews. The Board concluded that LIAC had appropriately reviewed and monitored the subadviser’s investment performance. Management Fee. The Board reviewed the Fund’s investment management fee and expense ratio and reviewed information comparing the investment management fee and expense ratio to those of a Morningstar peer group and category median for the Fund. The Board considered that LIAC had implemented an advisory fee waiver through April 30, 2021. The Board noted that the net investment management fee, giving

LVIP SSGA International Index Fund–28 LVIP SSGA International Index Fund Other Fund Information (unaudited) (continued) Approval of Investment Management Agreement (continued) effect to the advisory fee waiver, was equal to the median net investment management fee of the Morningstar peer group. In light of the nature, quality and extent of services provided by LIAC, the Board concluded that the Fund’s investment management fee, coupled with the advisory fee waiver, was reasonable. Economies of Scale. The Board considered the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect a reasonable sharing of such economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors. The Board considered that LIAC had implemented an advisory fee waiver and an expense limitation for the Fund through April 30, 2021 and concluded that economies of scale were appropriately shared with investors. Profitability. The Board also reviewed the estimated profitability of LIAC with respect to the Fund individually and the Funds overall and concluded that the estimated profitability of LIAC in connection with the management of the Funds was not unreasonable. Fallout Benefits. Because of its relationship with the Fund, LIAC and its affiliates may receive certain benefits. The Board reviewed materials provided by LIAC as to any such benefits. Lincoln Insurance Companies receive 12b-1 fees which are paid by the Fund’s Service Class shares through Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc., which is the principal underwriter and distributor for the Fund. Lincoln Life serves as the administrator for the Fund for which it is separately compensated. The Board also noted that Lincoln Insurance Companies may be eligible to claim on their tax returns “dividends received deductions” in connection with dividends received from LVIP Funds by the Lincoln Insurance Companies holding Fund shares on behalf of contract holders.

Approval of Subadvisory Agreement Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the renewal of the subadvisory agreement between LIAC and SSGA Funds Management, Inc. (“SSGA”) on behalf of the Fund, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services provided by SSGA under the subadvisory agreement. The Board reviewed the services provided by SSGA and the reputation, resources and investment approach of SSGA. They also reviewed information provided regarding the structure of portfolio manager compensation, trading and brokerage practices, risk management and compliance matters. Performance. The Board reviewed the LVIP SSGA International Index Fund’s total return compared to the total return of a peer group of funds included in the Morningstar Foreign Large Blend funds category and the MSCI EAFE NR USD Index. The Board noted that the Fund’s total return was below the return of the Morningstar peer group median and the benchmark index for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods. The Board considered LIAC’s view that fees, cash flows and fair value adjustments contributed to underperformance compared to the benchmark index. The Board noted LIAC’s statement that LIAC remains comfortable with the Fund’s ability to meet its objective going forward. The Board concluded that the services provided by SSGA were satisfactory. Subadvisory Fees and Economies of Scale. The Board reviewed the subadvisory fee schedules and the fees charged by SSGA to other clients with similar investment strategies as the Fund. The Board considered that LIAC compensates SSGA from its fees and that the subadvisory fee schedule for the Fund was negotiated between LIAC and SSGA, an unaffiliated third party. The Board concluded that the subadvisory fees for the Fund were reasonable. Profitability and Fallout Benefits. The Board considered information regarding SSGA’s estimated profitability from providing subadvisory services to the Fund. The Board reviewed materials provided by SSGA as to any additional benefits it receives and noted that SSGA indicated that it indirectly benefits from association with the Funds in the marketplace and its ability to leverage resources. Conclusion. Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the Advisory Agreements for the Fund are fair and reasonable, and that the continuation of the Advisory Agreements is in the best interests of the Fund.
