Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to present the following annual report for the Cambria ETF Trust.
The Cambria Shareholder Yield ETF (“SYLD”) launched on May 14, 2013 at $25.00 per share. For the three-month quarter ended April 30, 2019, SYLD posted a gain of 5.86%. For the 12-month period ending April 30, 2019, SYLD posted a gain of 1.10%. For the period since inception through April 30, 2019, SYLD gained 80.65%.
We believe that the S&P 500 serves as a suitable benchmark for SYLD and, at the end of the fund’s first complete calendar year, identified the S&P 500 in the fund’s prospectus as an appropriate broad-based benchmark for the fund. The table below shows the performance of the fund (NAV) vs. the S&P 500 (a) since inception of SYLD through April 30, 2019, (b) for 12-months ending April 30, 2019, and (c) for the quarter ended April 30, 2019.

We believe that the MSCI EAFE Index serves as a suitable benchmark for FYLD and, at the end of the fund’s first complete calendar year, identified the EAFE Index in the prospectus as an appropriate broad-based benchmark for the FYLD. The table below shows the of the Fund (NAV) vs. the MSCI EAFE Index (a) since inception of FYLD through April 30, 2019, (b) for 12-months ending April 30, 2019, and (c) for the quarter ended April 30, 2019.

The Cambria Global Value ETF (“GVAL”) launched on March 12, 2014 at $25.00 per share. For the three-month quarter ended April 30, 2019, GVAL posted a gain of 1.64%. For the 12-month period ended April 30, 2019, GVAL posted a loss of 6.24%. For the period from launch through April 30, 2019, the Fund posted a gain of 7.15%.
We believe that the MSCI ACWI Index serves as a suitable benchmark for GVAL. The table below shows the of the Fund (NAV) vs. the ACWI Index (a) since inception of GVAL through April 30, 2019, (b) the 12-month period ended April 30, 2019, and (c) for the quarter ended April 30, 2019.

The Cambria Global Momentum ETF (“GMOM”) launched on November 4, 2014, at $25.00 per share. For the three-month quarter ended April 30, 2019, GMOM posted a gain of 1.57%. For the 12-month period ended April 30, 2019, GMOM posted a loss of 6.23%. From the period from inception through April 30, 2019, GMOM posted a gain of 9.96%.
We believe that a suitable benchmark for GMOM is the S&P Balanced Equity and Bond – Moderate Index (SPBXMI). We believe the “blended” portfolio of US equities and US Treasuries is a suitable benchmark for GMOM because the equity-bond blend is the precursor to most modern asset allocation strategies. This benchmark has long been used by academia and practitioners alike as a measurement for broad asset allocation strategies. The table below shows the Fund (NAV) vs. the benchmark for the quarter ended April 30, 2019, and from the fund’s inception date through April 30, 2019.

We believe that the S&P 500 serves as a suitable benchmark for VAMO, as VAMO offers a diversified, value-oriented exposure to US equities with downside risk hedging. The table below shows the of the Fund (NAV) vs. the S&P 500 (a) since inception of VAMO through April 30, 2019, (b) for 12-months ending April 30, 2019, and (c) for the quarter ended April 30, 2019

The Cambria Tail Risk ETF (“TAIL”) launched on April 6, 2017 at $25.00 per share. For the quarter ended April 30, 2019, TAIL posted a loss of 4.19%. For the year ended April 30, 2019 TAIL posted a loss of 6.31%. Since inception, TAIL has posted a loss of 18.17%.
We believe that a suitable benchmark for TAIL is the Bloomberg Barclays Short Term Treasury Total Return Index Unhedged. TAIL is not an aggressive hedging strategy, and as such, an index of short term Treasuries which approximates a conservative money-market fund is a suitable benchmark. The Index tracks the market for treasury bills issued by the US government. US Treasury bills are issued in fixed maturity terms of 4-, 13-, 26- and 52-weeks.

Comparison of Change in the Value of a $10,000 Investment in the Cambria Shareholder Yield ETF versus the S&P 500 Index

Underweight in Information Technology and Consumer Staples, coupled with over-weights in Financials contributed to underperformance.

Management has concluded that Level 3 investments are not material in relation to net assets. |
There have been no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 assets and liabilities. There were transfers between Level 1 and Level 3 during the period when foreign equity securities were fair valued using other observable market based inputs in place of the closing exchange price due to events occurring after the close of the exchange or market on which the investment was principally traded. It is the Fund’s policy to recognize transfers into and out of all Levels at the end of the reporting period.

1. ORGANIZATION (continued)
The investment objective of the Cambria Trinity ETF is to seek income and capital appreciation from investments in exchange-traded vehicles that provide exposure to the major asset classes in the various regions, countries and sectors around the globe. The Fund inception date is September 7, 2018. The Fund commenced operations on September 10, 2018.
Shares of the Funds are listed and traded either on the NYSE Arca, Inc or CBOE BZX Exchange, 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.
The Funds are an investment company and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies.
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.
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 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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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 year ended April 30, 2019, 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 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.
Futures Contracts — To the extent consistent with its investment objective and strategies, Cambria Value and Momentum ETF utilized futures contracts during the year ended April 30, 2019. The Fund’s investment in futures contracts are designed to enable the Fund to more closely approximate their 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 Fund’s 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. A margin deposit was made upon entering into futures contracts and is included in Cash at Broker 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 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 Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2019 (continued)
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
It is the Fund’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 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 April 30, 2019. The fair value of equity futures contracts held in the Fund can be found on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities under the captions variation margin 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 Cambria Value and Momentum ETF Schedule of Investments. Realized gains or losses on equity rate futures contracts related to the Fund 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 Cambria Value and Momentum ETF, Cambria Tail Risk ETF and Cambria Core Equity ETF may invest in equity options contracts for the purpose of hedging its existing portfolio securities, or securities that a Fund intends to purchase, against fluctuations in fair market value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates. In particular, (1) the Cambria 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, (2) the Cambria 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, and (3) the Cambria Core Equity ETF sells exchange traded index call options and purchases exchange traded index put options to reduce its volatility, provide steady cash flows, and protect against significant market decline over a short period of time.A Fund may also invest in equity option contracts to enhance its returns. When the Fund writes or purchases an option, an amount equal to the premium received or paid by the 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 the 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. The risk in purchasing an option is a Fund may pay a premium whether or not the option is exercised. The Funds also have 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 Cambria Tail Risk ETF and Cambria Core Equity ETF had options contracts as of April 30, 2019, as disclosed in the Funds’ Schedule of Investments. The value of the option contracts held in the Funds can be found on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Any realized 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.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
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.
As of and during the year ended April 30, 2019, 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 year, 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 Statements 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 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 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.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders — The Funds generally pay out dividends from their net investment income, if any, quarterly, and distributes 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 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.

In these circumstances, the Fund 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.
Illiquid Securities — A security is considered illiquid if the 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 equivalents on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

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 its financial position 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 right of setoff criteria: the amounts owed by the Funds to another party are determinable, the Funds has the right to set off the amounts owed with the amounts owed by the other party, the Funds intends to set off, and the Funds right of setoff is enforceable at law.
As of April 30, 2019, the Funds financial instruments and derivative instruments are not subject to a master netting arrangement.

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.
Cash Redemption Risk — Each Fund’s investment strategy may require it to effect redemptions, in whole or in part, for cash. As a result, each Fund may be required to sell portfolio securities in order to obtain the cash needed to distribute redemption proceeds. This may cause each 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, each 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 each Fund and negatively impact Fund performance.
Cyber Security Risk — The 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 Fund in many ways, including, but not limited to, disruption of the Fund’s 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 Fund’s third-party service providers, including Cambria, the custodian, and the transfer agent, may subject the Fund to many of the same risks associated with direct cyber security breaches and adversely impact the Fund. For instance, cyber-attacks may impact the Fund’s ability to calculate its NAV, cause the release of confidential business information, impede trading, cause the Fund to incur additional compliance costs associated with corrective measures, subject the Fund to regulatory fines or other financial losses, and/or cause reputational damage to the Fund. Cyber security breaches of market makers, Authorized Participants, or the issuers of securities in which the Fund invests could also have material adverse consequences on the Fund’s business operations and cause financial losses for the Fund and its shareholders. While the Fund 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 Fund has no control over the cyber security protections put in place by its service providers or any other third parties whose operations may affect the Fund or its shareholders.
Derivatives Risk — Derivatives are financial instruments that have a value which depends 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 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.
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 a Fund to buy, sell or otherwise transfer securities, adversely affect the trading market and price for Fund Shares and cause the Fund to decline in value.

6. PRINCIPAL RISKS (continued)
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.
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 bear its 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 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.
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.
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 in the Funds. 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.
Index Risk — Unlike many investment companies, the Index Funds (defined below) do not utilize an investing strategy that seeks returns in excess of each Fund’s respective Underlying Index. Therefore, an Index 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.
Management Risk — The Cambria Global Momentum ETF, Cambria Global Asset Allocation ETF, Cambria Value and Momentum ETF, Cambria Sovereign Bond ETF, Cambria Tail Risk ETF, Cambria Core Equity ETF and Cambria Trinity ETF (the “Active Funds”) are actively managed using proprietary investment strategies and processes. The Cambria Foreign Shareholder Yield ETF, Cambria Global Value ETF and Cambria Emerging Shareholder Yield ETF (the “Index Funds”) 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.

6. PRINCIPAL RISKS (continued)
Non-Correlation Risk — The returns of the Index Funds may not match the return of their Underlying Indexes for a number of reasons. For example, each Index Fund incurs operating expenses not applicable to the Underlying Index, and incurs costs in buying and selling securities, especially when rebalancing the Index Fund’s securities holdings to reflect changes in the composition of its Underlying Index. In addition, the performance of each Index Fund and its Underlying Index may vary due to asset valuation differences and differences between each Index Fund’s portfolio and its Underlying Index resulting from legal restrictions, cost or liquidity constraints.
Options Risk — The value of the Funds’ positions in options fluctuates in response to changes in the value of the underlying index. The Funds also risk losing all or part of the cash paid for purchasing put options. Writing index the Cambria Tail Risk ETF only purchases put options, the Fund’s losses from its exposure to put options is limited to the amount of premiums paid to the option seller. To the extent that the Cambria Core Equity ETF reduces its put option holdings relative to the number of call options sold by the Fund, the Fund’s ability to mitigate losses in the event of a market decline will be reduced.
Premium Discount Risk — The Shares may trade above or below their NAV. The NAV of the Fund will generally fluctuate with changes in the market value of the Fund’s 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. Cambria 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 Fund. 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 Fund’s portfolio holdings are fully disclosed on a daily basis, Cambria believes that large discounts or premiums to the NAV of Shares should not be sustained, but that may not be the case.
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 Fund’s 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.

6. PRINCIPAL RISKS (continued)
Sovereign Debt Securities Risk — Investments in sovereign and quasi-sovereign debt obligations involve special risks not present in corporate debt obligations. The issuer of the sovereign debt or the authorities that control the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to repay principal or interest when due, and the Sovereign Bond ETF may have limited recourse in the event of a default. During periods of economic uncertainty, the market prices of sovereign debt, and the Sovereign Bond ETF’s net asset value, may be more volatile than prices of U.S. debt obligations. In the past, certain non-U.S. markets have encountered difficulties in servicing their debt obligations, withheld payments of principal and interest and declared moratoria on the payment of principal and interest on their sovereign debts.
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 foreign currency and sales of passive foreign investment companies. 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.
Accordingly, the following permanent differences which are primarily attributable to partnership adjustments, reallocation of dividend incomes from underlying funds, redemptions in-kind, foreign currency and passive foreign investment companies, have been reclassified to/from the following accounts, if applicable.
| | Paid-in Capital | | | Distributable Earnings/ (Accumulated Losses) | |
Cambria Shareholder Yield ETF | | $ | 7,117,776 | | | $ | (7,117,776 | ) |

Cambria Core Equity ETF | | | 2,460,197 | | | | (2,460,197 | ) |
These reclassifications had no impact on the net assets or the net asset value per share of the Funds.

9. SECURITIES LENDING
The Funds have entered into a Securities Lending Agreement with Brown Brothers Harriman & Co., (the “Lending Agent”) to lend portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and other financial organizations that meet capital and other credit requirements or other criteria established by the Trust’s Board. These loans, if and when made, may not exceed 33 1/3% of the total asset value of the respective Fund (including the loan collateral). The Funds will not lend portfolio securities to the Adviser or its affiliates unless permissible under the 1940 Act and the rules and promulgations thereunder. Loans of portfolio securities will be fully collateralized by cash, letters of credit or U.S. government securities, and the collateral will be maintained in an amount equal to at least 102% of the then market value of domestic loaned securities and 105% of the value of foreign equity securities. However, due to market fluctuations during the day, the value of securities loaned on a particular day may, during the course of the day, exceed the value of collateral. On each business day, the amount of collateral is adjusted based on the prior day’s market fluctuations and the current day’s lending activity. Income from lending activity is determined by the amount of interest earned on collateral, less any amounts payable to the borrowers of the securities and the lending agent. Lending securities involves certain risks, including the risk that the Funds may be delayed or restricted from recovering the loaned securities or disposing of the collateral for the loan, which could give rise to loss because of adverse, market actions expenses and/or delays in connection with the disposition of the underlying securities. Any gain or loss in the market price of the securities loaned and income from lending activity by the Funds that might occur during the term of the loan would be for the account of that Fund.
Cash collateral received in connection with securities lending is invested in repurchase agreements by the lending agent.
Securities lending transactions are entered into by a Fund under the Securities Lending Agreement, which permits a Fund, under certain circumstances such as an event of default, to offset amounts payable by a Fund to the same counterparty against amounts receivable from the counterparty to create a net payment due to or from a Fund.
The following is a summary of securities lending agreements held by the Funds, with cash collateral of overnight maturities and non-cash collateral, if any, which would be subject to offset as of April 30, 2019:
| | Gross Amount of Recognized Assets (Value of Securities on Loan) | | | Value of Cash Collateral Received(1) | | | Net Amount | |

April 30, 2019 (Concluded)
10. REGULATORY MATTERS
On August 17, 2018, the SEC adopted amendments to Regulation S-X. These changes are effective for periods after November 5, 2018. The updates to Registered Investment Companies were mainly focused on simplifying the presentation of distributable earnings by eliminating the need to present the components of distributable earning on a book basis in the Statements of Assets & Liabilities. The update also impacted the presentation of undistributed net investment income and distribution to shareholders on the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. The amounts presented in the current Statements of Changes in Net Assets represent the aggregated total distributions of net investment income and realized capital gains, except for distributions classified as Return of Capital which are still presented separately. The disaggregated amounts from the prior fiscal year are broken out below if there were both distributions from net investment income and net realized gains. Otherwise, the amount on the current Statement of Changes for the prior fiscal year end represents distributions of net investment income:
Fund | | Net Investment Income | | | Net Realized Gains | | | Total | |
Cambria Shareholder Yield ETF | | $ | 1,963,059 | | | $ | 117,173 | | | $ | 2,080,232 | |
Cambria Sovereign Bond ETF | | | 635,189 | | | | 97,030 | | | | 732,219 | |
11. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). The new guidance includes additions and modifications to disclosures requirements for fair value measurements. For public entities, the amendments are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. At this time, management is currently evaluating the impact of this new guidance on the financial statements and disclosures.
12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Funds have evaluated the need for additional disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. Based on this evaluation, no adjustments were required to the financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of
Cambria ETF Trust
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Cambria Shareholder Yield ETF, Cambria Foreign Shareholder Yield ETF, Cambria Global Value ETF, Cambria Global Momentum ETF, Cambria Global Asset Allocation ETF, Cambria Value and Momentum ETF, Cambria Sovereign Bond ETF, Cambria Emerging Shareholder Yield ETF, Cambria Tail Risk ETF, Cambria Core Equity ETF, and Cambria Trinity ETF (the “Funds”), each a series of Cambria ETF Trust, as of April 30, 2019, and the related statements of operations for the year or period then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years or periods then ended, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the four years or periods then ended (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the each of the Funds as of April 30, 2019, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets, and the financial highlights for the periods indicated above, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The Funds’ financial highlights for the periods ended April 30, 2015 and prior, were audited by other auditors whose report dated June 26, 2015, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits include performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and confirmation of securities owned as of April 30, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the Funds’ auditor since 2016.

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. Shareholder 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; 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 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 (November 1, 2018 to April 30, 2019).
The table below 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.

Supplemental Information
(Unaudited) (Continued)
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 a NAV. A discount is the amount that the Fund is trading below the reported NAV, expressed as a percentage of the NAV.
