2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of the Significant Accounting Policies followed by the Funds.

Use of Estimates — The Funds are investment companies in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). Therefore, the Funds follow the accounting and reporting guidance for investment companies. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect 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 increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and could have a material impact to the Funds.

Security Valuation — Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market (the “NASDAQ”), including securities traded over the counter, are valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded (or at approximately 4:00 pm Eastern Time if a security’s primary exchange is normally open at that time), or, if there is no such reported sale, at the most recent quoted bid.

For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. Debt securities are priced based upon valuations provided by independent, third-party pricing agents, if available. Such values generally reflect the last reported sales price if the security is actively traded. The third-party pricing agents may also value debt securities at an evaluated bid price by employing methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-supplied valuations, or other methodologies designed to identify the market value for such securities. Prices for most securities held in the Funds are provided daily by recognized independent pricing agents. If a security price cannot be obtained from an independent, third-party pricing agent, the Funds seeks to obtain a bid price from at least one independent broker.

Futures are valued at the settlement price established for the business day by the board of trade on which they are traded. Settlement prices for financial futures are provided by an independent pricing agent.

Options are valued at the mean between the last bid and ask prices reported from the options exchange on which such options are listed. If there is no reported sale, long options positions are valued at the most recent bid price, and short option positions are valued at the most recent ask price.

Securities for which market prices are not “readily available” are valued in accordance with fair value procedures established by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). The Board has designated the Investment Adviser serve as its “Valuation Designee” and perform fair value determinations on behalf of all series of the Trust, subject to the Board’s supervision and direction. The following securities may be fair valued by the Valuation Designee: (1) securities for which market quotations are insufficient or not readily available, (2) securities for which, in the judgment of the Valuation Designee, the prices or values do not represent the fair value of the instrument, and (3) securities deemed to be illiquid. Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using fair value procedures include: the security’s trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from a national exchange; the security’s primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when under normal conditions it would be open; the security has not been traded for an extended period of time; the security’s primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price; or trading of the security is subject to local government-imposed restrictions. Fair valuation is based on subjective factors and, as a result, the fair value price of an asset may differ from the asset’s market price and may not be the current price at which the asset may be sold. Fair value estimates are based on judgments regarding the current economic environment, financial reports, credit, collateral and other such factors.

Under Rule 2a-5 of the 1940 Act, a fair value is determined by the Valuation Designee (as defined in Rule 2a-5) in accordance with the Pricing and Valuation Policy and Fair Valuation Procedures, as applicable, of the Investment Adviser, subject to oversight by the Board. In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under U.S. GAAP, the Funds disclose fair value of their investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine 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 (an exit price). Accordingly, the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access at the measurement date;

Level 2 – Quoted prices which are not active, or inputs that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

Level 3 – Prices, inputs or exotic modeling techniques which are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

A summary of the inputs used to value each Fund’s investments as of October 31, 2023, are disclosed in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Foreign Currency Translation — The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of realized or unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rate from fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of the securities. These gains and losses are included in net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments on the Statements of Operations. Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from foreign currency exchange contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amount of the investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually received or paid. These gains and losses are included in net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions on the Statements of Operations.

The value of the Funds’ foreign holdings as measured in U.S. dollars may be affected unfavorably by changes in foreign currency exchange rates, as a change in the value of a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar generally will result in a corresponding change in the U.S. dollar value of securities denominated in that currency held by a Fund. In addition to the risks of foreign currency exchange rates generally, trading in the currencies of certain countries may face periods of limited liquidity or the political risk of exchange controls or currency repatriation restrictions, which may in turn make such holdings denominated in those currencies difficult to value. The Funds may also incur losses in connection with conversions between various currencies.

Futures Contracts — Consistent with its investment objective and strategies, Value and Momentum utilized futures contracts during the period ended October 31, 2023. The Value and Momentum ETF’s investment in futures contracts is designed to enable the Fund to more closely approximate the performance of its benchmark index. Value and Momentum ETF chose to invest in futures contracts for tactical hedging purposes as well as to enhance its returns. Initial margin deposits of cash or securities are made upon entering into futures contracts. The contracts are marked to market daily and the resulting changes in value are accounted for as unrealized gains and losses. Variation margin payments are paid or received, depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contract is closed, Value and Momentum records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the amount invested in the contract. A margin deposit was made upon entering into futures contracts and is included in Cash at Broker for futures contracts on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there will be an imperfect price correlation between the futures and the underlying securities. Second, it is possible that a lack of liquidity for futures contracts could exist in the secondary market, resulting in an inability to close a position prior to its maturity date. Third, the futures contract involves the risk that Value and Momentum could lose more than the original margin deposit required to initiate a futures transaction.

Finally, the risk exists that losses could exceed amounts disclosed on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

It is the Value and Momentum’s policy to present the gross variation margin payable and the gross variation margin receivable of the future contracts separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, as it does not have a master netting agreement with the counterparty to the futures contracts. Refer to the Value and Momentum ETF’s Schedule of Investments for details regarding open future contracts as of October 31, 2023. The fair value of equity futures contracts held in the Value and Momentum ETF can be found on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities under the captions variation margin receivable/payable. Only current day’s variation margin is reported within the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Cumulative appreciation (depreciation) of futures contracts are reported in the Value and Momentum ETF’s Schedule of Investments. Realized gains or losses on equity rate futures contracts related to Value and Momentum ETF is recognized on the Statements of Operations as part of net realized gain (loss) on futures contracts and any change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recognized on the Statements of Operations as net change in unrealized gain (loss) on futures contracts.

Options Written/Purchased — The Value and Momentum ETF, Tail Risk ETF, and Global Tail Risk ETF may invest in equity options contracts for the purpose of hedging their existing portfolio securities, or securities that they intend to purchase, against fluctuations in fair market value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates. The Value and Momentum ETF may use options to hedge up to 100% of the value of its long portfolio in an attempt to avoid overvalued and downtrending markets. The Tail Risk ETF utilizes a put option strategy to manage the risk of a significant negative movement in the value of domestic equities over rolling one-month periods. The Global Tail Risk ETF utilizes a put option strategy to manage the risk of a significant negative movement in the value of global ex-U.S. equities on a month-by-month basis. A Fund may also invest in equity option contracts to enhance its returns. When a Fund writes or purchases an option, an amount equal to the premium received or paid by a Fund is recorded as a liability or an asset and is subsequently adjusted to the current market value of the option written or purchased. Premiums received or paid from writing or purchasing options which expire unexercised are treated by a Fund on the expiration date as realized gains or losses. The difference between the premium and the amount paid or received on affecting a closing purchase or sale transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain or loss. If an option is exercised, the premium paid or received is added to the cost of the purchase or proceeds from the sale in determining whether the Fund has realized a gain or a loss. The risk in writing a call option is a Fund may give up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases. The risk in writing a put option is a Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the

option is exercised. There is risk that a Fund may pay a premium whether or not the option is exercised. A Fund also has the additional risk of being unable to enter into a closing transaction at an acceptable price if a liquid secondary market does not exist. Option contracts also involve the risk that they may not work as intended due to unanticipated developments in market conditions or other causes. Finally, the risk exists that losses on written options could exceed amounts disclosed on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The Global Tail Risk ETF and Tail Risk ETF had options contracts as of October 31, 2023, as disclosed in each Fund’s Schedule of Investments. Any realized gains or losses and change in unrealized gains or losses can be found on the Statements of Operations.

Federal Income Taxes — The Funds intend to qualify as “regulated investment companies” under Sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as amended. If so qualified, the Funds will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax to the extent they distribute substantially all of their net investment income and net capital gains to their shareholders.

The Funds evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Funds’ tax returns to determine whether it is “more-likely-than-not” (i.e., greater than 50 percent) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current period.

The Funds did not record any tax provisions in the current year. However, management’s conclusions regarding tax positions may be subject to review and adjustment at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, examination by tax authorities (i.e., the last three tax year ends, as applicable), on-going analysis of and changes to tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof.

As of the period ended October 31, 2023, the Funds did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

Organizational and Offering Expenses — All organizational and offering expenses of the Trust were borne by the Investment Adviser and are not subject to future recoupment. As a result, organizational and offering expenses are not reflected in the financial statements.

58www.cambriafunds.com

Cambria ETF TrustNotes to Financial Statements

October 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

Expenses — Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of each Fund and do not include any expenses associated with the underlying funds.

Security Transactions and Investment Income — Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Dividend income received from the underlying funds is recognized on the ex-dividend date and is recorded as dividend income in the Statements of Operations. Capital gain distributions received from the underlying funds are recognized on ex-dividend date and are recorded on the Statements of Operations as such. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sales of investment securities are on the basis of specific identification. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividend income is recorded net of unrecoverable withholding tax. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Amortization and accretion is calculated using the scientific interest method, which approximates the effective interest method over the holding period of the security. Amortization of premiums and discounts is included in interest income. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and foreign capital gains tax have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and regulations. Capital gain taxes on securities in certain foreign countries are accrued on unrealized appreciation and are due when realized.

Foreign Taxes — The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes related to foreign income received (a portion of which may be reclaimable), capital gains on the sale of securities, and certain foreign currency transactions. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Funds invest.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — The Funds generally pay out dividends from their net investment income, if any, quarterly, and distribute their net capital gains, if any, to shareholders at least annually. All distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date.

Creation Units — The Funds issue and redeem shares on a continuous basis at NAV in groups of 50,000 shares called creation units (“Creation Units”). Purchasers of Creation Units (“Authorized Participants”) must pay a creation transaction fee per transaction. The fee is typically a single charge and will be the same regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased by an investor on the same day. An Authorized Participant who holds Creation Units and wishes to redeem at NAV would also pay a Redemption Fee per transaction to the custodian on the date of such redemption, regardless of the number of Creation Units redeemed that day.

The ALPS Distributors Inc. (the “Distributor”), the Funds’ Distributor, has entered into participant agreements with certain broker-dealers and others that allow those parties to be Authorized Participants and to subscribe for and redeem shares of the Funds. Such Authorized Participants may from time to time hold, of record or beneficially, a substantial percentage of the Funds’ shares outstanding, act as executing or clearing broker for investment transactions on behalf of the Fund and/or serve as counterparty to derivative transactions with the Funds.

Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities of a Fund. Shares of the Funds may only be purchased or redeemed by Authorized Participants. An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed a participant agreement with the distributor. Most retail investors will not qualify as Authorized Participants or have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they will be unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Funds. Rather, most retail investors will purchase shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and will be subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees.

If a Creation Unit is purchased or redeemed for cash, a higher transaction fee will be charged. The following table discloses Creation Unit breakdown for the period ended October 31, 2023:

To the extent the Funds permit the contribution of securities in exchange for the purchase of shares (contribution in-kind), shares may be issued in advance of receipt by the Funds of all or a portion of the applicable Deposit Securities. In these circumstances, the Funds may require the Authorized Participant to maintain with the Trust an amount up to 115% and/or 125% of the daily mark-to-market value of the missing Deposit Securities. Amounts are disclosed as segregated cash balances with Authorized Participants for Deposit Securities and payable for collateral upon return of Deposit Securities on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Illiquid Securities — A security is considered illiquid if a Fund reasonably expects that the investment cannot be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. Valuations of illiquid securities may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had an active market value for these securities existed.

Cash and cash equivalents — Idle cash and currency balances may be swept into various overnight sweep accounts and are classified as cash and cash equivalents on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. These amounts, at times, may exceed United States federally insured limits. Amounts swept are available on the next business day.

3. OFFSETTING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The Funds are required to disclose the impact of offsetting assets and liabilities represented in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the effect, or potential effect, of netting arrangements on investing in the Funds for recognized assets and liabilities. These recognized assets and liabilities are financial instruments and derivative instruments that are either subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement, or similar agreement, or meet the following criteria to offset assets and liabilities: 1) the amounts owed by a Fund to another party are determinable; 2) a Fund has the right to offset the amounts owed with the amounts owed by the other party; 3) a Fund intends to offset assets and liabilities, which can be enforced by law.

As of October 31, 2023, the Funds’ financial instruments and derivative instruments are not subject to a master netting arrangement. See Note 9 for offsetting related to securities lending.

4. RELATED PARTIES

Investment Advisory Agreement — The Investment Adviser is responsible for overseeing the management and business affairs of the Funds and has discretion to purchase and sell securities in accordance with the Funds’ objectives, policies, and restrictions. The Investment Adviser reviews, supervises, and administers each Fund’s investment program. The Investment Adviser has entered into an investment advisory agreement (“Management Agreement”) with respect to the Funds. Pursuant to that Management Agreement, the Funds pay the Investment Adviser, on a monthly basis, an annual advisory fee based on their average daily nets assets for the services and facilities it provides payable at an annual rate of 0.59%, excluding the Global Asset Allocation ETF and Trinity ETF, neither of which is charged an advisory fee.

With respect to each Fund, except the Global Value ETF and Emerging Shareholder Yield ETF, the Investment Adviser bears all of the costs of the Funds, except for the advisory fee, payments under each Fund’s 12b-1 plan, brokerage expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, interest (including borrowing costs and dividend expenses on securities sold short), litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses. With respect to the Global Value ETF and Emerging Shareholder Yield ETF, the Investment Adviser bears all of the costs of each Fund, except for the advisory fee, payments under the Fund’s 12b-1 plan, brokerage expenses, custodial expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, interest (including borrowing costs and dividend expenses on securities sold short), litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses. The Global Value ETF and Emerging Shareholder Yield ETF may pay up to 0.10% in custody fees. The Management Agreement for the Funds provides that it may be terminated at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by the Board or, with respect to the Funds, by a majority of the outstanding shares of the Funds, on 60 days’ written notice to the Investment Adviser, and by the Investment Adviser on 60 days’ written notice to the Trust and that it shall be automatically terminated if it is assigned.

Cannabis ETF has agreed to waive 0.17% of its advisory fee, on an annualized basis, through at least August 31, 2024, unless otherwise terminated by the Board. The waived fees are not eligible for recapture by the Investment Adviser.

The Sub-Adviser serves as sub-adviser to the Funds, pursuant to a sub-advisory agreement between the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser with respect to the Funds (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”). Pursuant to the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Sub-Adviser is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds’ portfolio, including determining the securities purchased and sold by the Funds, subject to the supervision of the Adviser and the Board. The Sub-Adviser is paid a fee by the Adviser, which is calculated and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.02% of the Funds’ average daily net assets. The Sub-Adviser has agreed to assume the Adviser’s obligation to pay all expenses incurred by the Fund, except for Excluded Expenses. For assuming the payment obligation, the Adviser has agreed to pay to the Sub-Adviser the profits, if any, generated by the Funds’ Management Fee. Expenses incurred by the Funds and paid by the Sub-Adviser include fees charged by Tidal, as defined below.

6. PRINCIPAL RISKS

As with all ETFs, shareholders of the Funds are subject to the risk that their investments could lose money, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount of an investment, over short or long periods of time. An investment is not a bank deposit and it is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The Funds are subject to the principal risks set forth in their prospectuses under the heading ‘‘Principal Risks.’’ Some of these risks, any of which may adversely affect a Fund’s NAV, trading price, yield, total return, or ability to meet its investment objective, are set forth below.

Cannabis Industry Risk — Cannabis Companies are subject to various laws and regulations that may differ at the local and federal level. These laws and regulations may significantly affect a Cannabis Company’s ability to secure financing, impact the market for cannabis industry sales and services, and set limitations on marijuana use, production, transportation, and storage. Cannabis Companies may also be required to secure permits and authorizations from government agencies to cultivate or research marijuana. In addition, Cannabis Companies are subject to the risks associated with the agricultural, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical industries. The Cannabis ETF invests in publicly-traded Cannabis Companies primarily listed and traded on a national securities exchange that operates in a jurisdiction where the Cannabis Companies’ cannabis-related business activities are legal under the national and local laws of the relevant jurisdiction, including U.S. federal and state laws.

Cash Redemption Risk — A Fund’s investment strategy may require it to effect redemptions, in whole or in part, for cash. As a result, a Fund may be required to sell portfolio securities in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This may cause a Fund to recognize investment income and/or capital gains or losses that it might not have recognized if it had completely satisfied the redemption in-kind. As a result, such Fund may be less tax efficient if it includes such a cash payment than if the in-kind redemption process was used exclusively (i.e., securities are distributed as payment of redemption proceeds). In addition, cash redemptions may incur higher brokerage costs than in-kind redemptions and these added costs may be borne by the Fund and negatively impact Fund performance.

Commodity Investing Risk. Investing in commodity-related companies may subject a Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The commodities markets have experienced periods of extreme volatility. Similar future market conditions may result in rapid and substantial valuation increases or decreases in the Funds’ holdings.

Currency Strategies Risk. Currency exchange rates may fluctuate significantly over short periods of time and can be unpredictably affected by political developments or government intervention. Changes in currency exchange rates may affect the U.S. dollar value of the Funds’ investments.

Cyber Security Risk — Each Fund, and its service providers, may be susceptible to operational and information security risks resulting from a breach in cyber security, including cyber-attacks. A breach in cyber security, intentional or unintentional, may adversely impact the Funds in many ways, including, but not limited to, disruption of the Funds’ operational capacity, loss of proprietary information, theft or corruption of data maintained online or digitally, denial-of-service attacks on websites or network resources, and the unauthorized release of confidential information. Cyber-attacks affecting the Funds’ third-party service providers, including the Investment Adviser, the Custodian, and the transfer agent, may subject the Funds to many of the same risks associated with direct cyber security breaches and adversely impact the Funds. For instance, cyber-attacks may impact the Funds’ ability to calculate its NAV, cause the release of confidential business information, impede trading, cause a Fund to incur additional compliance

62www.cambriafunds.com

Cambria ETF TrustNotes to Financial Statements

October 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

costs associated with corrective measures, subject a Fund to regulatory fines or other financial losses, and/or cause reputational damage to the Funds. Cyber security breaches of market makers, Authorized Participants, or the issuers of securities in which the Funds invest could also have material adverse consequences on the Funds’ business operations and cause financial losses for the Funds and its shareholders. While the Funds and its service providers have established business continuity plans and risk management systems designed to address cyber security risks, prevent cyber-attacks and mitigate the impact of cyber security breaches, there are inherent limitations on such plans and systems. In addition, the Funds have no control over the cyber security protections put in place by its service providers or any other third parties whose operations may affect the Funds or its shareholders.

Depositary Receipts Risk — The risks of investments in depositary receipts are substantially similar to the risks of investing directly in foreign securities. In addition, depositary receipts may not track the price of or may be less liquid than their underlying foreign securities, and the value of depositary receipts may change materially at times when the U.S. markets are not open for trading.

Derivatives Risk — Derivatives are financial instruments that have a value which depend upon, or is derived from, a reference asset, such as one or more underlying securities, pools of securities, indexes, rates or currencies. Derivatives may result in investment exposures that are greater than their cost would suggest; in other words, a small investment in a derivative may have a large impact on fund performance. The successful use of derivatives generally depends on the ability to predict market movements. The use of these instruments requires special skills and knowledge of investment techniques that are different than those normally required for purchasing and selling securities. If the Investment Adviser uses a derivative instrument at the wrong time or judges market conditions incorrectly, or if the derivative instrument does not perform as expected, these strategies may significantly reduce a fund’s return. A fund could also experience losses if it is unable to close out a position because the market for an instrument or position is or becomes illiquid.

Dividend Paying Security Risk — Securities that pay high dividends as a group can fall out of favor with the market, causing these companies to underperform companies that do not pay high dividends. Also, changes in the dividend policies of companies owned by the Funds and the capital resources available for these companies’ dividend payments may adversely affect the Funds.

Emerging Markets Risk — Investments in securities and instruments traded in developing or emerging markets, or that provide exposure to these securities or markets, can involve additional risks relating to political, economic, or regulatory conditions not associated with investments in U.S. securities and instruments or investments in more developed international markets. For example, emerging markets may be subject to, among other risks, greater market volatility; lower trading volume and liquidity; greater social, political and economic uncertainty; governmental controls on foreign investments and limitations on repatriation of invested capital; lower disclosure, corporate governance, auditing and financial reporting standards; fewer protections of property rights; restrictions on the transfer of securities or currency; and settlement and trading practices that differ from U.S. markets and markets of more developed countries. Each of these factors may impact the ability of the Funds to buy, sell or otherwise transfer securities, adversely affect the trading market and price for Fund shares and cause the Funds to decline in value.

Equity Investing Risk — The values of equity securities could decline generally or could underperform other investments. In addition, securities may decline in value due to factors affecting a specific issuer, market or securities markets generally.

Exchange-Traded Funds and Exchange-Traded Products (“ETP”) and Investment Companies Risk — The risks of investing in securities of ETFs, ETPs and investment companies typically reflect the risks of the types of instruments in which the underlying ETF, ETP or investment company invests. In addition, with such investments, the Funds beartheir proportionate share of the fees and expenses of the underlying entity. As a result, the Funds’ operating expenses may be higher and performance may be lower.

Fixed Income Risk — A decline in an issuer’s credit rating may cause a decrease in the value of its fixed income securities and an increase in their investment risk and volatility. During periods of falling interest rates, an issuer of a callable bond held by the Funds may “call” (or repay) the security before its stated maturity, and the Funds may have to reinvest the proceeds at lower interest rates, resulting in a decline in the Funds’ income. The market value of fixed income securities generally changes in response to changes in interest rates. As interest rates rise, the value of certain fixed income securities is likely to decrease. Similarly, if interest rates decline, the value of fixed income securities is likely to increase.

Foreign Investment Risk — Returns on investments in foreign securities could be more volatile than, or trail the returns on, investments in U.S. securities. Investments in or exposures to foreign securities by the Funds are subject to special risks, including risks associated with foreign securities generally, including differences in information available about issuers of securities and investor protection standards applicable in other jurisdictions; capital controls risks, including the risk of a foreign jurisdiction imposing restrictions on the ability to repatriate or transfer currency or other assets; currency risks; political, diplomatic and economic risks; regulatory risks; and foreign market and trading risks, including the costs of trading and risks of settlement in foreign jurisdictions. 

Futures Contracts Risk — Risks associated with the use of futures contracts include the following: (i) an imperfect correlation between movements in prices of index futures contracts and movements in the value of the stock index that the instrument is designed to simulate; and (ii) the possibility of an illiquid secondary market for a futures contract and the resulting inability to close a position prior to its maturity date. Investments in futures may expose the Fund to leverage.

Geographic Investment Risk — To the extent the Funds invest a significant portion of assets in the securities of companies of a single country or region, it is more likely to be impacted by events or conditions affecting that country or region.

Hedging Risk — Options used by the Funds to offset its exposure to tail risk or reduce volatility may not perform as intended. There can be no assurance that the Funds’ put option strategy will be effective. It may expose the Funds to losses, e.g., option premiums, to which it would not have otherwise been exposed if it only invested, directly or indirectly, in U.S. government bonds and ex-U.S. sovereign bonds. Further, the put option strategy may not fully protect the Funds against declines in the value of their portfolio securities.

High Yield Securities Risk — High yield securities and unrated securities of comparable credit quality are subject to the increased risk of an issuer’s inability to meet principal and interest payment obligations. High yield securities are subject to a greater risk of default and investments in them are inherently speculative. The secondary markets in which high yield securities are traded may be less liquid and more volatile than the market for higher grade securities.

Inflation-Protected Security Risk — Inflation-protected securities, such as Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS), provide protection against inflation. Inflation-protected securities typically decrease in value when real interest rates rise and increase in value when real interest rates fall.

Interest Rate Risk — The market value of fixed income securities generally changes in response to changes in interest rates. As interest rates rise, the value of certain fixed income securities is likely to decrease. Similarly, if interest rates decline, the value of fixed income securities is likely to increase. Interest rate risk is generally lower for shorter-term investments and higher for longer-term investments.

International Closed-Market Trading Risk — Because the Funds’ investments may be traded in markets that are closed when the Exchange is open, there are likely to be deviations between the current pricing of an underlying investment and stale investment pricing (i.e., the last quote from its closed foreign market), resulting in premiums or discounts to NAV that may be greater than those experienced by other ETFs.

Investment Risk — An investment in the Funds is not a deposit of a bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. When you sell your Shares, they could be worth less than what you paid for them.

Large Capitalization Company Risk — The Funds’ investments in large capitalization companies may underperform other segments of the market because they may be less responsive to competitive challenges and opportunities and unable to attain high growth rates during periods of economic expansion.

Liquidity Risk — The Funds may purchase options and fixed income securities that may be less liquid than other types of investments. The options and fixed income securities purchased by the Funds may not always be liquid. This could have a negative effect on the Funds’ ability to achieve its investment objective and may result in losses to the Funds’ shareholders.

Management Risk — The Funds are all actively managed and use proprietary investment strategies and processes. There can be no guarantee that these strategies and processes will produce the intended results and no guarantee that the Funds will achieve their investment objective. This could result in the Funds’ underperformance compared to other funds with similar investment objectives.

Market Events Risk — Turbulence in the financial markets, reduced liquidity in the equity markets, and/or the advent of certain economic or political events, including global events such as war, acts of terrorism or a public health crisis, may negatively affect issuers, which could have an adverse effect on certain Fund holdings. In addition, there is a risk that policy changes by the U.S. Government, Federal Reserve and/or other government actors, such as increasing interest rates, could cause increased volatility in financial markets and higher levels of Fund redemptions, which could have a negative impact on certain Fund holdings.

Options Risk — Options are subject to correlation risk because there may be an imperfect correlation between the prices of options and movements in the price of the underlying securities. Options may expire unexercised, causing the Funds to lose the premium paid for them. The success of the Funds’ investment in options depends upon many factors, such as the price of the options which is a function of various factors that may change rapidly over time. If a counterparty defaults, the Funds’ only recourse will be to pursue contractual remedies against the counterparty, and the Funds may be unsuccessful in its pursuit. The Funds thus assume the risk that it may be delayed in or prevented from obtaining payments owed to it pursuant to an over-the-counter options transaction.

Portfolio Turnover Risk — Because the Tail Risk ETF and Global Tail Risk ETF “turn over” their put options every month, they will incur high levels of transaction costs from commissions or mark-ups in the bid/offer spread. Higher portfolio turnover may result in the Funds paying higher levels of transaction costs and generating greater tax liabilities for shareholders. Portfolio turnover risk may cause the Funds’ performance to be less than you expect. While the turnover of the put options is not deemed “portfolio turnover” for accounting purposes, the economic impact to the Tail Risk ETF and Global Tail Risk ETF is similar to what could occur if the Funds experienced high portfolio turnover (e.g., in excess of 100% per year). Other Funds’ strategies may also result in high portfolio turnover rates.

Premium-Discount Risk — The shares may trade above or below their NAV. The NAV of the Funds will generally fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Funds’ holdings. The market prices of shares, however, will generally fluctuate in accordance with changes in NAV as well as the relative supply of, and demand for, shares on the Exchange. The trading price of shares may deviate significantly from NAV during periods of market volatility. The Investment Adviser and Sub-Adviser cannot predict whether shares will trade below, at or above their NAV. Price differences may be due, in large part, to the fact that supply and demand forces at work in the secondary trading market for shares will be closely related to, but not identical to, the same forces influencing the prices of the securities held by the Funds. However, given that shares can be purchased and redeemed in large blocks of shares, called Creation Units (unlike shares of closed-end funds, which frequently trade at appreciable discounts from, and sometimes at premiums to, their NAV), and the Funds’ portfolio holdings are fully disclosed on a daily basis, the Investment Adviser believes that large discounts or premiums to the NAV of shares should not be sustained, but that may not be the case.

Quantitative Security Selection Risk — The Investment Adviser uses quantitative techniques to generate investment decisions and select stocks, and the Funds may not perform as intended if it relies on erroneous or outdated data from one or more third parties. Errors in data used in the quantitative model may occur from time to time and may not be identified and/or corrected before having an adverse impact on a Fund and its shareholders.

Real Estate Investments Risk — The Global Real Estate ETF’s investments are concentrated in real estate-related industries, and it may be susceptible to loss due to adverse occurrences affecting these industries. Investments in real estate are subject to certain risks, including declines in the real estate market, decreases in property revenues, increases in interest rates, increases in property taxes and operating expenses, legal and regulatory changes, a lack of credit or capital, defaults by borrowers or tenants, environmental problems and natural disasters. The availability of mortgages and changes in interest rates may also affect real estate values.

Real Estate Investment Trust “REIT” Risk. In addition to the risks associated with the direct ownership of real estate and real estate-related securities, REITs are subject to additional risks, including those related to adverse governmental actions, and the performance of a REIT may be affected by its failure to qualify for tax-free pass through of income or its failure to maintain exemption from registration as an investment company. REITs are dependent upon specialized management skills and may invest in relatively few properties, a small geographic area or a small number of property types. REITs depend generally on their ability to generate cash flow to make distributions to shareholders or unitholders and may be subject to defaults by borrowers and to self-liquidations. As a result, investments in REITs may be volatile. REITs also have their own fees and expenses, and the Funds will indirectly bear a proportionate share of those fees and expenses.

Secondary Market Trading Risk — Investors buying or selling shares in the secondary market will generally pay brokerage commissions or other charges imposed by brokers as determined by that broker. Brokerage commissions are often a fixed amount and may be a significant proportional cost for investors seeking to buy or sell relatively small amounts of shares. In addition, secondary market investors will also incur the cost of the difference between the price that an investor is willing to pay for shares (the “bid” price) and the price at which an investor is willing to sell shares (the “ask” price). This difference in bid and ask prices is often referred to as the “spread” or “bid/ask spread.” The bid/ask spread varies over time for shares based on trading volume and market liquidity, and is generally lower if the Funds’ shares have more trading volume and market liquidity and higher if the Fund’s shares have little trading volume and market liquidity. Further, increased market volatility may cause increased bid/ask spreads.

Although the shares are listed on the Exchange, there can be no assurance that an active or liquid trading market for them will develop or be maintained. In addition, trading in shares on the Exchange may be halted due to market conditions or for reasons that, in the view of the Exchange, make trading in shares inadvisable. Further, trading in shares on the Exchange is subject to trading halts caused by extraordinary market volatility pursuant to the Exchange “circuit breaker” rules. There can be no assurance that the requirements of the Exchange necessary to maintain the listing of the Fund will continue to be met or will remain unchanged.

Sector Risk — To the extent that the Funds invest a significant portion of assets in a particular sector, the Funds may be susceptible to loss due to adverse occurrences affecting that sector.

Cambria ETF TrustNotes to Financial Statements

October 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

Small and Medium Capitalization Company Risk — Investing in securities of small and medium capitalization companies involves greater risk than customarily is associated with investing in larger, more established companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies. These securities may have returns that vary, sometimes significantly, from the overall securities market. Small and medium capitalization companies are sometimes more dependent on key personnel or limited product lines than larger, more diversified companies. Often, small and medium capitalization companies and the industries in which they focus are still evolving and, as a result, they may be more sensitive to changing market conditions.

Value Investment Risk — The Funds may consider certain value metrics when selecting stocks for inclusion in their portfolio and, as a result, the Funds may underperform when the market favors stocks with growth characteristics or a non-value investment approach. Value investments are subject to the risk that their intrinsic value may never be realized by the market.

7. GUARANTEES AND INDEMNIFICATIONS

In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with third-party service providers that contain a variety of representations and warranties and that provide general indemnifications. Additionally, under the Funds’ organizational documents, the officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as it involves possible future claims that may or may not be made against the Funds. Based on experience, the Investment Adviser is of the view that the risk of loss to the Funds in connection with the Funds’ indemnification obligations is remote; however, there can be no assurance that such obligations will not result in material liabilities that adversely affect the Funds.

8. INCOME TAXES

The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be paid, if any, are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These differences are primarily attributable to redemption in-kind transactions and net operating loss. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period.

For tax purposes, short term realized gains are considered ordinary income. The tax character of dividends and distributions declared during the most recent fiscal year ended April 30, 2023, were as follows:

Cambria ETF TrustDisclosure of Fund Expenses

October 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

All ETFs have operating expenses. As a shareholder of an ETF, your investment is affected by these ongoing costs, which include (among others) costs for ETF management and brokerage fees. It is important for you to understand the impact of these costs on your investment returns. Shareholders may incur brokerage commissions on their purchase and sales of Fund Shares, which are not reflected in the examples below.

Operating expenses, such as these, are deducted from an ETF’s gross income and directly reduce its final investment return. These expenses are expressed as a percentage of the ETF’s average net assets, known as the ETF’s expense ratio.

The following examples use the Funds’ expense ratio and are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in each Fund and to compare these costs with those of other funds. The examples do not reflect any brokerage commissions that you may pay on purchases and sales of Shares. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 made at the beginning of the period shown and held for the entire period (May 1, 2023 - October 31, 2023).

The table below illustrates each Funds’ costs in two ways:

Actual Fund Return. This section estimates the actual expenses after fee waivers that each Fund incurred over the period. The “Expenses Paid During Period” column shows the actual dollar expense cost incurred by a $1,000 investment in each Fund, and the “Ending Account Value” number is derived from deducting that expense cost from each Funds’ gross investment return.

This information, together with the actual amount invested in each Fund, can be used to estimate the expenses paid over that period. Simply divide your actual account value by $1,000 to arrive at a ratio (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply that ratio by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period.”

Hypothetical 5% Return. This section provides information about hypothetical costs with those of other funds. It assumes that each Fund had an annual 5% return before expenses during the period, but that the expense ratio for the period is unchanged. This example is useful in making comparisons because the Commission requires all funds to make this 5% calculation. You can assess each Funds’ comparative cost by comparing the hypothetical result in the “Expenses Paid During Period” column with those that appear in the same charts in the shareholder reports for other funds.

NOTE: Because the return is set at 5% for comparison purposes — NOT your Fund’s actual return — the account values shown may not apply to your specific investment.

Cambria ETF TrustApproval of Sub-Advisory Agreement and Board Consideration

October 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

At a quarterly Board meeting held on March 7, 2023, the Board, including all of the members who are not “interested persons” of Cambria ETF Trust (the “Trust”), Cambria Investment Management, L.P. (the “Adviser”) or Toroso Investments, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (collectively, the “Independent Trustees”), met to discuss, among other things, Cambria’s proposed delegation of trading services to Toroso, including its impact on the Funds, and to consider, and vote on, the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement with respect to each Fund. In preparation for its deliberations, the Board requested and received written responses from Toroso to a due diligence questionnaire circulated on the Board’s behalf. During its deliberations, the Board received an oral presentation from Cambria and Toroso, and they were assisted by the advice of independent legal counsel.

Prior to the meeting on March 7, 2023, the Board reviewed written materials, including information from Toroso regarding, among other things: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of the services to be provided to the Funds by Toroso; (ii) the cost of the services to be provided and the profits expected to be realized by Toroso, or its affiliates, from services rendered to each Fund; (iii) the sub-advisory fee and the extent to which any economies of scale might be realized as a Fund grows and whether the sub-advisory fee for a Fund reflects these economies of scale for the benefit of the Fund; (iv) any other financial benefits (such as soft dollars, if any) to be derived by Toroso or its affiliates resulting from services rendered to the Funds; (v) Toroso’s reputation, personnel, operations and financial condition; and (vi) other factors the Board deemed to be relevant. Additionally, at the meeting on March 7, 2023, representatives from Toroso provided an oral overview of the services to be provided to the Funds by Toroso.

The Board, in considering the Sub-Advisory Agreement, relied upon representations from Cambria that: (i) the engagement of Toroso was not expected to result in any material changes to (1) the nature, quality and extent of services provided to the Funds by Cambria, (2) Cambria’s compliance program or code of ethics, and (3) the Fund’s fees and expense ratio; and (ii) Mebane Faber, the current portfolio manager for each Fund, will continue to serve as portfolio manager for each Fund for the foreseeable future.

The discussion below outlines in greater detail the materials and information presented to the Board in connection with its consideration and approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, and the conclusions made by the Board at the meeting held on March 7, 2023, when determining to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement for an initial two-year term.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board considered the scope of services to be provided to the Funds under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, noting that Toroso will be providing certain sub-advisory services to the Funds, such as trading the Funds’ portfolio securities based on instructions from Cambria, but Cambria will perform the day-to-day active management of the Funds’ strategies and continue to select each Fund’s investments. The Board noted the other responsibilities that Toroso would have as the Funds’ investment sub-adviser, including: executing portfolio security trades for purchases and redemptions of the Funds’ shares; oversight of general portfolio compliance with applicable securities laws, regulations, and investment restrictions; proxy voting; responsibility for daily monitoring of portfolio exposures and quarterly reporting to the Board; and implementation of Board directives as they relate to the Funds. The Trustees further noted that they had received and reviewed Toroso’s response to a detailed series of questions regarding its business operations, key personnel, investment decision-making process, and compliance policies. The Board also considered Toroso’s resources and capacity with respect to trading, compliance, and operations given the number of funds for which it would serve as sub-adviser.

Investment Performance of the Funds. The Board noted that Toroso has not previously provided sub-advisory services to the Funds, and Toroso does not currently manage funds and/or client accounts with investment strategies similar to those of the Funds. In addition, the Board noted that Cambria will retain responsibility for the day-to-day active management of the Funds’ strategies and the individual selection of investments for each Fund’s portfolio. Accordingly, the Board determined that neither past nor future Fund performance will be a significant consideration with respect to the Board’s approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Costs of Services to be Provided and Economies of Scale. The Board then reviewed the sub- advisory fee to be paid by the Adviser to Toroso for its services to each Fund. The Board considered the fees to be paid to Toroso would be paid by the Adviser from the unitary fee the Adviser receives from a Fund, noting that the sub-advisory fee reflected an arm’s-length negotiation between the Adviser and Toroso. The Board further determined the sub-advisory fee reflects an appropriate allocation of the advisory fee paid to the Adviser given the work to be performed by each firm. The Board also evaluated the compensation and benefits expected to be received by Toroso from its relationship with the Fund, taking into account an analysis of Toroso’s estimated profitability with respect to each Fund.

The Board expressed the view that Toroso might realize economies of scale in managing the Funds as assets grow in size. The Board further noted that because each Fund pays the Adviser a unified fee, any benefits from breakpoints in the sub-advisory fee schedule would accrue to the Adviser, rather than Fund shareholders. Consequently, the Board determined that it would monitor fees as the Funds grow to determine whether economies of scale were being effectively shared with the Funds and their shareholders.

Approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement. Based on the Board’s deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above and other factors and information it believed relevant in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, with the assistance of Trust counsel, unanimously concluded that the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, including the fees to be paid thereunder, were fair and reasonable and agreed to approve the Sub-Advisory Agreement for an initial term of two years and recommend the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement to the Funds’ shareholders. In its deliberations, the Board did not identify any absence of information as material to its decision, or any particular factor (or conclusion with respect thereto) or single piece of information that was all-important, controlling or determinative of its decision, but considered all of the factors together, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to the various factors (and conclusions with respect thereto) and information.

Cambria ETF TrustSupplemental Information

October 31, 2023 (Unaudited)

Net asset value, or “NAV”, is the price per share at which a fund issues and redeems shares. It is calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing mutual fund shares. The “Market Price” of a fund generally is determined using the midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer on the stock exchange on which the Shares of the fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the fund’s NAV is calculated. A fund’s Market Price may be at, above or below its NAV. The NAV of a fund will fluctuate with changes in the market value of the fund’s holdings. The Market Price of a fund generally fluctuates in response to changes in its NAV, as well as market supply and demand. The data represented in the table below represents past performance and cannot be used to predict future results.

Premiums or discounts are the differences (expressed as a percentage) between the NAV and Market Price of a fund on a given day, generally at the time NAV is calculated. A premium is the amount that a fund is trading above the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV. A discount is the amount that the Fund is trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV.
