To Our Shareholders,

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the net asset value (NAV) total return of The Gabelli Utility Trust (the Fund) was 10.8%, compared with a total return of 9.4% for the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 Utilities Index. The total return for the Fund’s publicly traded shares was 22.1%. The Fund’s NAV per share was $3.11, while the price of the publicly traded shares closed at $5.80 on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). See page 3 for additional performance information.

Enclosed are the financial statements, including the schedule of investments, as of June 30, 2025.

Investment Objective (Unaudited)

The Gabelli Utility Trust is a diversified, closed-end management investment company whose primary objectives are long term growth of capital and income. The Fund will invest in companies that provide products, services, or equipment for the generation or distribution of electricity, gas, and water. Additionally, the Fund will invest in companies in telecommunications services or infrastructure operations.

As permitted by regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, paper copies of the Fund’s annual and semiannual shareholder reports will no longer be sent by mail, unless you specifically request paper copies of the reports. Instead, the reports will be made available on the Fund’s website (www.gabelli.com), and you will be notified by mail each time a report is posted and provided with a website link to access the report. If you already elected to receive shareholder reports electronically, you will not be affected by this change and you need not take any action. To elect to receive all future reports on paper free of charge, please contact your financial intermediary, or, if you invest directly with the Fund, you may call 800-422-3554 or send an email request to info@gabelli.com.

Performance Discussion (Unaudited)

In the first half of 2025, the U.S. utility sector modestly outperformed the broader market, supported by rising electricity demand and investor interest in both regulated utilities and merchant generators. The S&P 500 Utilities Index rose 9.4%, versus the S&P 500’s 6.2% gain. While generally insulated from tariffs, utility stocks saw some volatility amid shifting inflation expectations and uncertainty around clean energy tax credits.

Defensive, rate-based utilities outperformed in Q1 during market stress, but risk appetite returned in Q2 as economic data held firm and tariff concerns eased. Our coverage of 61 regulated utilities delivered a solid 9% median total return, while the four publicly traded merchant power producers (CEG, VST, NRG, TLN) surged 54% on average. In contrast, the three large California utilities (PCG, EIX, SRE) fell 25% on average due to renewed concerns over wildfire liabilities after January’s destructive fires.

The utility investment case is strengthening as electricity demand grows at its fastest pace since the mid-20th century, driven by AI-powered data centers, reshoring of manufacturing, and electrification of transport. Utilities are responding with record capital investment in generation and grid upgrades, often in partnership with hyperscalers like Amazon, Microsoft, and Google. Policymakers remain broadly supportive, creating a favorable backdrop for sustained rate base and earnings growth.

Importantly, rising demand allows infrastructure costs to be spread over more kilowatt-hours, helping manage bill impacts. Still, execution risk remains as utilities must finance, build, and manage large-scale infrastructure efficiently.

Federal policy momentum also supports the sector, with efforts to streamline nuclear permitting, expand gas-fired capacity, extend coal plant lives, and reduce regulatory bottlenecks. Lower interest rates offer an added tailwind: the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield fell to 4.23% from 4.58% at 2024 year-end, and markets expect multiple Fed cuts through 2026. Lower yields support utility valuations and reduce financing costs, while utilities’ 3.5% median dividend yield and 9%–11% total return potential enhance their appeal.

Year-to-date, some of the Fund’s top performing stocks were WEC Energy Group (3.7% of total investments as of June 30, 2025; 12.7%), National Fuel Gas (2.7%; 41.4%), Constellation Energy Group (1.8%; 44.7%), NRG Energy (0.9%; 79.4%) and Evergy (2.8%; 14.3%). Detractors in the Fund’s portfolio included ONEOK (3.5%; -16.8%), AES Corp (0.8%; -15.5%) and Edison International (0.9%; -33.7%).

Thank you for your investment in The Gabelli Utility Trust.

We appreciate your confidence and trust.

(a)	Performance returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized. Returns represent past performance and do not guarantee future results. Investment returns and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate. The Fund’s use of leverage may magnify the volatility of net asset value changes versus funds that do not employ leverage. When shares are sold, they may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data presented. Visit www.gabelli.com for performance information as of the most recent month end.
