HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM DURING THE PERIOD?
Outperformance during the last 6 months was driven by exclusion of animal-derived products, high carbon industries and other environmentally damaging companies. Avoidance of companies doing animal testing and producing energy from fossil fuels was a small detractor. By sector, VEGN’s underweight to utilities, financials and consumer discretionary stocks detracted, whereas underweights to healthcare and energy were positive. VEGN’s overweight to communications stocks was supportive to performance.

NOTE
1 – ORGANIZATION
US
Vegan Climate ETF (the “Fund”) is a diversified series of ETF Series Solutions (“ESS” or the “Trust”),
an open-end management investment company consisting of multiple investment series, organized as a Delaware statutory trust on February 9,
2012. The Trust is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company and the offering of the Fund’s shares is registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The investment objective of the Fund is to track the
performance, before fees and expenses, of the Beyond Investing US Vegan Climate® Index (the “Index”). The
Fund commenced operations on September 9, 2019.
The
end of the reporting period for the Fund is January 31, 2025, and the period covered by these Notes to Financial Statements is the fiscal
period from August 1, 2024 through January 31, 2025 (the “current fiscal period”).
NOTE
2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The
Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment
Companies.
The
following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. These policies are in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
A.
|
Security Valuation.
All equity securities, including domestic and foreign common stocks, preferred stocks and exchange traded funds that are traded on a national
securities exchange, except those listed on the Nasdaq Global Market®, Nasdaq Global Select Market®, and
the Nasdaq Capital Market® Exchanges (collectively, “Nasdaq”), are valued at the last reported sale price
on the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Securities traded on Nasdaq will be valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing
Price (“NOCP”). If, on a particular day, an exchange-traded or Nasdaq security does not trade, then the mean between the most
recent quoted bid and asked prices will be used. All equity securities that are not traded on a listed exchange are valued at the last
sale price in the over-the-counter market. If a non-exchange traded security does not trade on a particular day, then the mean between
the last quoted closing bid and asked price will be used. Prices denominated in foreign currencies are converted to U.S. dollar equivalents
at the current exchange rate, which approximates fair value. |
Investments
in mutual funds, including money market funds, are valued at their net asset value (“NAV”) per share.
Securities
for which quotations are not readily available are valued at their respective fair values in accordance with pricing procedures adopted
by the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”). When a security is “fair valued,” consideration is given
to the facts and circumstances relevant to the particular situation, including a review of various factors set forth in the pricing procedures
adopted by the Board. The use of fair value pricing by the Fund may cause the NAV of its shares to differ significantly from the NAV that
would be calculated without regard to such considerations.
As
described above, the Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments on a recurring basis. U.S. GAAP establishes
a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuations methods. The three levels of inputs are:
Level 1 –
|
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets
for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access. |
Level 2 –
|
Observable inputs other than quoted prices
included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted
prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk,
yield curves, default rates and similar data. |
TABLE OF CONTENTS
US
Vegan Climate ETF
Notes
to Financial Statements
January
31, 2025(Continued)
Level 3 –
|
Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability,
to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available; representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market
participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available. |
The
availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example,
the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics
particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the
market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value
is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
The
inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes,
the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest
level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The
following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of the end of the current fiscal period:

See Schedule of Investments for breakout of investments
by sector. |
During
the current fiscal period, the Fund did not recognize any transfers to or from Level 3.
B.
|
Federal Income
Taxes. The Fund’s policy is to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net capital gains to
shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. The Fund plans to file U.S. Federal and applicable state and local
tax returns. |
The
Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination
by the tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized
tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably
possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months. Income and capital gain distributions
are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. The Fund recognizes interest and
penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits on uncertain tax positions as income tax expenses in the Statement of Operations.
During the current fiscal period, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.
C.
|
Security Transactions
and Investment Income. Investment securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses realized on sales
of securities are determined on a specific identification basis. Dividend income and expense are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash
dividends included in dividend income or separately disclosed, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the security received. Withholding
taxes on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable tax rules
and regulations. Interest income and expense is recorded on an accrual basis. |
Distributions
received from the Fund’s investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) may be characterized as ordinary income,
net capital gain, or a return of capital. The proper characterization of REIT distributions is generally not known until the end of each
calendar year. As such, the Fund must use estimates in reporting the character of its income and distributions received during the current
calendar year for
TABLE OF CONTENTS
US
Vegan Climate ETF
Notes
to Financial Statements
January
31, 2025(Continued)
financial
statement purposes. The actual character of distributions to the Fund’s shareholders will be reflected on the Form 1099 received
by shareholders after the end of the calendar year. Due to the nature of REIT investments, a portion of the distributions received by
the Fund’s shareholders may represent a return of capital.
D.
|
Distributions
to Shareholders. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly by the Fund.
Distributions to shareholders of net realized gains on securities are declared and paid by the Fund on an annual basis. Distributions
are recorded on the ex-dividend date. |
E.
|
Use of Estimates.
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,
as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the current fiscal period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
|
F.
|
Share Valuation.
The NAV per share of the Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Fund, plus cash and other assets,
minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) by the total number of shares outstanding of the Fund, rounded to the nearest
cent. The Fund’s shares will not be priced on the days on which the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is closed for trading.
The offering and redemption price per share of the Fund is equal to the Fund’s NAV per share. |
G.
|
Reclassification
of Capital Accounts. U.S. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified
between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share. |
The
permanent differences primarily relate to redemptions in-kind. For the fiscal year ended July 31, 2024, the following table shows
the reclassifications made:

and Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general
indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that
may be against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote. |

New Accounting
Pronouncement. In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment
Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through
enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, allowing financial statement users to better understand the components of a segment’s
profit or loss and assess potential future cash flows for each reportable segment and the entity as a whole. The amendments expand a public
entity’s segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating
decision maker, clarifying when an entity may report one or more additional measures to assess segment performance, requiring enhanced
interim disclosures and providing new disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, among other new disclosure
requirements. |
Management
has evaluated the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures with respect
to the financial statements and disclosures and determined there is no material impact for the Fund. The Fund operates as a single segment
entity. The Fund’s income, expenses, assets, and performance are regularly monitored and assessed by the Adviser, who serves as
the chief operating decision maker, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.

The
differences between the cost basis for financial statement and federal income tax purposes are primarily due to timing differences in
recognizing wash sales.
A
regulated investment company may elect for any taxable year to treat any portion of any qualified late year loss as arising on the first
day of the next taxable year. Qualified late year losses are certain capital and ordinary losses which occur during the portion of the
Fund’s taxable year subsequent to October 31 and December 31, respectively. For the taxable year ended July 31, 2024,
the Fund did not elect to defer any post-October capital losses or late-year ordinary losses.
As
of July 31, 2024, the Fund had $1,718,282 of short-term capital loss carryforward and $2,142,578 of long-term capital loss carryforward
available for federal income tax purposes. These amounts do not have an expiration date.
The
tax character of distributions paid by the Fund during the fiscal years ended July 31, 2024 and July 31, 2023, was as follows:

NOTE
6 – SHARE TRANSACTIONS
Shares
of the Fund are listed and traded on the Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (“Cboe”). Market prices for the shares may be different from
their NAV. The Fund issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis at NAV generally in large blocks of shares called “Creation
Units.” Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in a specified universe. Once created,
shares generally trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day. Except when aggregated in Creation Units,
shares are not redeemable securities of the Fund. Creation Units may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions (“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 Depository Trust Company participant and, in
each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. Most retail investors do not qualify as Authorized Participants
nor have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they are unable to purchase or redeem shares directly from the
Fund. Rather, most retail investors may purchase shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and are subject to customary
brokerage commissions or fees.
The
Fund currently offers one class of shares, which has no front-end sales load, no deferred sales charge, and no redemption fee. A fixed
transaction fee is imposed for the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the creation or redemption of Creation Units.
The standard fixed transaction fee for the Fund is $500, payable to the Custodian. The fixed transaction fee may be waived on certain
orders if the Fund’s Custodian has determined to waive some or all of the costs associated with the order or another party, such
as the Adviser, has agreed to pay such fee. In addition, a variable fee, payable to the Fund, may be charged on all cash transactions
or substitutes for Creation Units of up to a maximum of 2% as a percentage of the value of the Creation Units subject to the transaction.
Variable fees received by the Fund, if any, are displayed in the Capital Transactions section of the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
The Fund may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, with no par value. Shares of the Fund have equal rights and privileges.
NOTE
7 – RISKS
Concentration
Risk. To the extent the Fund invests more heavily in particular industries, groups of industries, or
sectors of the economy, its performance will be especially sensitive to developments that significantly affect those industries, groups
of industries, or sectors of the economy, and the value of shares may rise and fall more than the value of shares that invest in securities
of companies in a broader range of industries or sectors.
