1. ORGANIZATION
Cambria ETF Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust, was formed on September 9, 2011 as a diversified, open-end registered management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Trust is comprised of nine Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs): Cambria Global Income and Currency Strategies ETF, Cambria Shareholder Yield ETF, Cambria Foreign Shareholder Yield ETF, Cambria Emerging Shareholder Yield ETF, Cambria Sovereign High Yield Bond ETF, Cambria Global Value ETF, Cambria Global Momentum ETF, Cambria Value and Momentum ETF, and Cambria Global Asset Allocation ETF. These financial statements relate only to Cambria Shareholder Yield ETF, Cambria Foreign Shareholder Yield ETF, Cambria Global Value ETF, Cambria Global Momentum ETF, Cambria Global Asset Allocation ETF and Cambria Value and Momentum ETF (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). Cambria Investment Management, L.P. (the “Investment Adviser”) serves as the investment adviser to the Funds. The assets of each Fund are segregated, and a shareholder’s interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held. Each Fund is diversified.
The investment objective of the Cambria Shareholder Yield ETF is to seek income and capital appreciation with an emphasis on income from investments in the U.S. equity market. The Fund commenced operations on May 13, 2013.
The investment objective of the Cambria Foreign Shareholder Yield ETF is to seek investment results that correspond (before fees and expenses) generally to the price and yield performance of its underlying index, the Cambria Foreign Shareholder Yield Index. The Fund commenced operations on December 2, 2013.
The investment objective of the Cambria Global Value ETF is to seek investment results that correspond (before fees and expenses) generally to the price and yield performance of its underlying index, the Cambria Global Value Index. The Fund commenced operations on March 11, 2014.
The investment objective of the Cambria Global Momentum ETF is to seek to preserve and grow capital from investments in the U.S. and foreign equity, fixed income, commodity and currency markets, independent of market direction. The Fund commenced operations on November 3, 2014.
The investment objective of the Cambria Global Asset Allocation ETF is to seek investment results that correspond (before fees and expenses) generally to the price and yield performance of its underlying index, the Cambria Global Asset Allocation Index. The Fund commenced operations on December 9, 2014.
The investment objective of the Cambria Value and Momentum ETF is to seek income and capital appreciation with an emphasis on income from investments in the U.S. equity market. The Fund commenced operations on September 9, 2015.
Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. Market prices for the Shares may be different from their net asset value (“NAV”). The Funds will issue and redeem Shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in large blocks of Shares, typically 50,000 Shares, called “Creation Units.” Creation Units are to be issued and redeemed principally in kind for a basket of securities and a balancing cash amount. Shares generally will trade in the secondary market in amounts less than a Creation Unit at market prices that change throughout the day.
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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Security Valuation — Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on 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.
Securities for which market prices are not “readily available” are valued in accordance with fair value procedures established by the Board. The Funds’ fair value procedures are implemented through a fair value committee (the ”Committee”) designated by the Board. 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. When a security is valued in accordance with the fair value procedures, the Committee will determine the value after taking into consideration relevant information reasonably available to the Committee.
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under U.S. GAAP, the Funds disclose fair value of its 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). |
For the period ended October 31, 2015, there have been no significant changes to the Funds’ fair valuation methodologies.
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 Statement of Operations.

October 31, 2015 (Unaudited) (Continued)
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 Statement of Operations.
Futures Contracts — To the extent consistent with its investment objective and strategies, Cambria Value and Momentum ETF utilized futures contracts during the period ended October 31, 2015. The Fund’s investment in futures contracts are designed to enable the Fund to more closely approximate the performance of their benchmark indices. Cambria Value and Momentum ETF chose to invest in futures contracts for tactical hedging purposes as well as to enhance the Funds’ 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, Cambria Value and Momentum ETF 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.
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 Cambria Value and Momentum ETF 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 Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
It is the Cambria Value and Momentum ETF’s policy to present the gross variation margin payable and the gross variation margin receivable of the future contracts separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, as Cambria Value and Momentum ETF does not have a master netting agreement with the counterparty to the futures contracts. Refer to the Cambria Value and Momentum ETF Schedule of Investments for details regarding open future contracts as of October 31, 2015, if applicable. The fair value of equity futures contracts held in the Cambria Value and Momentum ETF can be found on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities under the caption Variation Margin Payable. Only current day’s variation margin is reported within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Cumulative appreciation (depreciation) of futures contracts are reported in the Cambria Value and Momentum ETF Schedule of Investments. Realized gains or losses on equity rate futures contracts related to the Cambria Value and Momentum ETF is recognized on the Statement of Operations as part of Net Realized Gain (Loss) on Futures Contracts and any change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recognized on the Statement of Operations as Net Change in Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Futures Contracts.
Federal Income Taxes — The Funds intend to qualify as “regulated investment companies” under Sub-chapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, 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 period. 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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
As of and during the period ended October 31, 2015, 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 Statement of Operations. During the period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
Organizational 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 statement of assets and liabilities.
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 income distributions in the Statement of Operations. Capital gain distributions received from the underlying funds are recognized on ex-dividend date and are recorded on the Statement 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. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis.
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.’’ 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 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 Fund.
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.

5. PRINCIPAL RISKS
As with all exchange traded funds (‘‘ETFs’’), shareholders of the Funds are subject to the risk that their investment could lose money. The Funds are subject to the principal risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect the Fund’s net asset value (‘‘NAV’’), trading price, yield, total return and ability to meet its investment objective. A more complete description of principal risks is included in the prospectus under the heading ‘‘Principal Risks’’.
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.
Equity Investing Risk — An investment in the Funds involves risks similar to those of investing in any Fund holding equity securities, such as market fluctuations, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in stock prices. 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.
Management Risk — The Cambria Shareholder Yield ETF, Cambria Global Momentum ETF, and Cambria Value and Momentum ETF are actively managed using proprietary investment strategies and processes. The Cambria Foreign Shareholder Yield ETF, Cambria Global Value ETF and Cambria Global Asset Allocation ETF are passively-managed, meaning that they are designed to track the performance of an underlying index. There can be no guarantee that these strategies and processes will produce the intended results and no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. This could result in the Fund’s underperformance compared to other funds with similar investment objectives.

5. PRINCIPAL RISKS (continued)
Foreign Investment Risk — Returns on investments in foreign securities in the Cambria Foreign Shareholder Yield ETF and the Cambria Global Value ETF could be more volatile than, or trail the returns on, investments in U.S. securities. Investments in or exposures to foreign securities by each Fund 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.
Exchange-Traded Funds and Exchange-Traded Products 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 bear their 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.
Non-Correlation Risk — The returns of the Cambria Foreign Shareholder Yield ETF, Cambria Global Value ETF and the Cambria Global Asset Allocation ETF may not match the return of their Underlying Indexes for a number of reasons. For example, each Fund incurs operating expenses not applicable to the Underlying Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the Fund’s securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of its Underlying Index. In addition, the performance of each Fund and its Underlying Index may vary due to asset valuation differences and differences between each Fund’s portfolio and its Underlying Index resulting from legal restrictions, cost or liquidity constraints.
Index Risk — Unlike many investment companies, the Cambria Foreign Shareholder Yield ETF, the Cambria Global Value ETF and the Cambria Global Asset Allocation ETF do not utilize an investing strategy that seeks returns in excess of each Fund’s respective Underlying Index. Therefore, a Fund would not necessarily buy or sell a security unless that security is added or removed, respectively, from its respective Underlying Index, even if that security generally is underperforming.
Cash — Cash equivalents may consist of cash balances and time deposits maintained or held at Brown Brothers Harriman. Such amounts may be in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limitations.
6. 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.
7. 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. 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. These book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, they are charged or credited to undistributed net investment income (loss), accumulated net realized gain (loss) or paid-in capital, as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.

Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Funds are permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. Additionally, post-enactment capital losses that are carried forward retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law. As of April 30, 2015, there are no losses carried forward.
As of April 30, 2015, the components of distributable earnings (accumulated losses) on a tax basis were as follows:

Disclosure of Fund Expenses
(Unaudited)
All Exchange Traded Funds (“ETF”) 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, administrative services, brokerage fees and shareholder reports like this one. It is important for you to understand the impact of these costs on your investment returns.
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; this percentage is known as the ETF’s expense ratio.
The following examples use the expense ratio and are intended to help you understand the ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in your Fund and to compare these costs with those of other funds. 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, 2015 to October 31, 2015).
The table on the next page illustrates your Fund’s costs in two ways:
Actual Fund Return. This section helps you to estimate the actual expenses after fee waivers that your Fund incurred over the period. The “Expenses Paid During Period” column shows the actual dollar expense cost incurred by a $1,000 investment in the Fund, and the “Ending Account Value” number is derived from deducting that expense cost from the Fund’s gross investment return.
You can use this information, together with the actual amount you invested in the Fund, to estimate the expenses you 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 shown for your Fund under “Expenses Paid During Period.”
Hypothetical 5% Return. This section helps you compare your Fund’s costs with those of other funds. It assumes that the Fund had an annual 5% return before expenses during the year, but that the expense ratio (Column 3) 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 your Fund’s comparative cost by comparing the hypothetical result for your Fund 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.

Supplemental Information
(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 NAV of a Fund may also be impacted by the accrual of deferred taxes. The Market Price of a Fund generally fluctuates in response to changes in its NAV, as well as market supply and demand.
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 a NAV. A discount is the amount that the Fund is trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV.
