ATAC US ROTATION ETF

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

On behalf of the Toroso Investments, LLC team, we would like to thank you for your investment in the ATAC US Rotation ETF (the “Fund”). The goal of the Fund is to serve as a strategy which over time can enhance an investment portfolio’s overall risk and return characteristics. By utilizing a buy and rotate approach, which uses historically leading indicators of volatility, the Fund places a large emphasis on risk management, seeking to rotate fully into exposure to U.S. Treasury securities (“Treasuries”) in advance of conditions that favor stock market stress.

For the annual return the for fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, the Fund returned a net asset value (“NAV”) return of -40.69% and market value return of -40.58%, versus a return of -11.23% for the S&P 500^® Total Return Index.

Risk-on, risk-off strategies need periods of strong leadership from Treasuries relative to stocks in order to work effectively. So far, in 2022, Treasuries produced negative returns and are not behaving like a risk-off asset that benefits from stock market volatility. Since the December U.S. Federal Reserve Board meeting when Chair Powell indicated that the launch of a monetary tightening cycle was imminent, long duration Treasury yields have been rising aggressively even in the face of stock market declines. This environment of stocks and bonds generating negative returns at the same time is historic in nature, and has made conditions especially challenging for the Fund. High volatility, the use of leverage and the sequence interaction of Treasuries to stocks have all contributed to make this past year’s performance negative.

We remain hopeful for the potential of inflation cooling later this year, an eventual resolution to the Russia/Ukraine conflict and the return of more traditional intermarket relationships which can provide the catalyst for positive performance. Economic risks remain high and the possibility of a recession in the not-so-distant future looms, but we feel confident that these are the kinds of conditions that the Fund could potentially take advantage of when the behavior of Treasuries normalizes against stocks.

Over a complete market cycle, it is risk management which we believe is the most effective way to compound wealth. Compounding wealth requires positive returns and the avoidance of large losses – we believe there is simply no other way. Importantly, one must take a longer-term view and evaluate a strategy beyond small samples, understanding the role that the strategy has in one’s overall portfolio asset allocation. Thank you again for your trust and confidence in our distinctive approach to portfolio management.

Sincerely,


Michael A. Gayed, CFA Portfolio Manager Toroso Investments, LLC		Michael Venuto Chief Investment Officer Toroso Investments, LLC

Investors buy and sell ETF shares through a brokerage account or an investment advisor. Like ordinary stocks, brokerage commissions, and/or transaction costs or service fees may apply. Please consult your broker or financial advisor for their fee schedule.

As with all ETFs, Fund shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. The market price normally should approximate the Fund’s net asset value per share (NAV), but the market price sometimes may be higher or lower than the NAV.

ATAC US ROTATION ETF

Because the Fund invests in Underlying ETFs an investor will indirectly bear the principal risks of the Underlying ETFs, including but not limited to, risks associated with investments in ETFs, equity securities, growth stocks, large and small capitalization companies, non-diversification, fixed income investments, derivatives, leverage. The Fund will bear its share of the fees and expenses of the underlying funds. Shareholders will pay higher expenses than would be the case if making direct investments in the underlying funds.

Debt securities are subject to the risk of an issuer’s (or other party’s) failure or inability to meet its obligations under the security. Multiple parties may have obligations under a debt security. An issuer or borrower may fail to pay principal and interest when due. The prices of fixed income securities may be affected by changes in interest rates, the creditworthiness and financial strength of the issuer and other factors. An increase in prevailing interest rates typically causes the value of existing fixed income securities to fall and often has a greater impact on longer duration and/or higher quality fixed income securities.

Because the Fund expects to change its exposure as frequently as each week based on short-term price performance information, (i) the Fund’s exposure may be affected by significant market movements at or near the end of such short-term period that are not predictive of such asset’s performance for subsequent periods and (ii) changes to the Fund’s exposure may lag a significant change in an asset’s direction (up or down) if such changes first take effect at or near a weekend. Such lags between an asset’s performance and changes to the Fund’s exposure may result in significant underperformance relative to the broader equity or fixed income market. Because the Adviser determines the exposure for the Fund based on the price movements of gold and lumber, the Fund is exposed to the risk that such assets or their relative price movements fail to accurately predict future performance.

The S&P 500^® Total Return Index is an index of 500 large-capitalization companies selected by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Index holdings are subject to change.

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

On behalf of the Toroso Investments, LLC team, we would like to thank you for your investment in the ATAC Credit Rotation ETF (the “Fund”). The goal of the Fund is to serve as a strategy which over time can enhance an investment portfolio’s overall risk and return characteristics. By utilizing a buy and rotate approach, which uses historically leading indicators of volatility, the Fund places a large emphasis on risk management, seeking to rotate fully into exposure to U.S. Treasury securities (“Treasuries”) in advance of conditions that favor credit market stress.

For the annual return for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, the Fund returned a net asset value (“NAV”) return of -19.58% and market value return of -19.61%, versus a return of -11.52% for the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.

Utilities have spent most of 2022 outperforming the broader market, which signaled to the Fund an appropriate risk-off position. It didn’t make a difference though because Treasuries posted deep losses right alongside equities. The risk-on/risk-off strategies that have worked in the past didn’t work in 2022 because inflation was soaring, and the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) was busy launching one of the most aggressive rate hiking cycles in decades. We’re clearly disappointed in the end results because the strategy was correct. When everything is declining in value, however, there’s been no place to turn.

We anticipate that traditional risk-on/risk-off strategies will begin working again when inflation falls from historically high levels and the Fed gives an indication that its rate hiking cycle is concluding. Treasuries behaving like a risk-off asset again will be the key driver in creating better opportunities for positive returns in the 2nd half of this year. From a tactical perspective, the Fund’s underlying strategy has proven effective over its relatively brief life. If stocks and bonds resume their normal inverse relationship, we’re hopeful that this will start translating into superior riskadjusted returns for investors.

Sincerely,


Michael A. Gayed, CFA Portfolio Manager Toroso Investments, LLC		Michael Venuto Chief Investment Officer Toroso Investments, LLC

Consequently, the Fund may significantly underperform relative to the broader fixed income market if the Index is unsuccessful at producing an advantageous signal for the allocation to Underlying ETFs.

1. ORGANIZATION

The ATAC US Rotation ETF and ATAC Credit Rotation ETF (each, a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”) are non-diversified series of shares of beneficial interest of Tidal ETF Trust (the “Trust”). The Trust was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on June 4, 2018 and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company and the offering of each Fund’s shares is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Each Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services—Investment Companies.” The ATAC US Rotation ETF commenced operations on November 17, 2020 and the ATAC Credit Rotation ETF commenced operations on July 15, 2021.

The investment objective of the ATAC US Rotation ETF is to seek total return. The investment objective of the ATAC Credit Rotation ETF is to seek current income and long-term capital appreciation.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Security Valuation – Equity securities that are 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, LLC (“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 on the valuation date (or at approximately 4:00 p.m. EST if a security’s primary exchange is normally open at that time), or, if there is no such reported sale on the valuation date, at the most recent quoted bid price or mean between the most recent quoted bid and ask prices for long and short positions. For a security that trades on multiple exchanges, the primary exchange will generally be considered the exchange on which the security is generally most actively traded. For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. Prices of securities traded on the securities exchange will be obtained from recognized independent pricing agents (“Independent Pricing Agents”) each day that the Funds are open for business.

Debt securities are valued by using an evaluated mean of the bid and asked prices provided by Independent Pricing Agents. The Independent Pricing Agents may employ methodologies that utilize actual market transactions (if the security is actively traded), broker dealer supplied valuations, or other methodologies designed to identify the market value for such securities. In arriving at valuations, such methodologies generally consider factors such as security prices, yields, maturities, call features, ratings and developments relating to specific securities.

For securities for which quotations are not readily available, a fair value will be determined by the Valuation Committee using the Fair Value Procedures approved by the Trust’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 Fair Value Procedures adopted by the Board. Fair value pricing is an inherently subjective process, and no single standard exists for determining fair value. Different funds could reasonably arrive at different values for the same security. The use of fair value pricing by a fund may cause the net asset value of its shares to differ significantly from the net asset value that would be calculated without regard to such considerations.

As described above, the Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:

Level 1 –

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have 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.

Level 3 –

Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available; representing the Funds’ 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 each Fund’s investments as of August 31, 2022:


ATAC US Rotation ETF
Investments in Securities	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Total
Exchange-Traded Funds	$7,728,268	$—	$—	$7,728,268
Short-Term Investments	64,913	—	—	64,913
Total Investments in Securities	$7,793,181	$—	$—	$7,793,181


ATAC Credit Rotation ETF
Investments in Securities	Investments Measured at Net Asset Value	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Total
Exchange-Traded Funds	$—	$6,203,181	$—	$—	$6,203,181
Short-Term Investments	—	10,686	—	—	10,686
Investments Purchased With Collateral From Securities Lending⁽¹⁾	3,144,885	—	—	—	3,144,885
Total Investments in Securities	$3,144,885	$6,213,867	$—	$—	$9,358,752

⁽¹⁾Certain investments that are measured at fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) practical expedient have not been categorized in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in the table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the Schedule of Investments.

Federal Income Taxes – Each Fund has elected to be taxed as a “regulated investment company” and intends to distribute substantially all taxable income to its shareholders and otherwise comply with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies. Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes or excise taxes has been made.

In order to avoid imposition of the excise tax applicable to regulated investment companies, the Funds intend to declare as dividends in each calendar year at least 98.0% of their net investment income (earned during the calendar year) and at least 98.2% of their net realized capital gains (earned during the twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts, if any, from prior years.

As of August 31, 2022, the Funds did not have any tax positions that did not meet the threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Generally, tax authorities can examine all the tax returns filed for the last three years. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdiction as U.S. Federal and the Commonwealth of Delaware; however, the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially.

Securities 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. Discounts/ premiums on debt securities purchased are accreted/amortized over the life of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Debt income is recorded on an accrual basis. Other non-cash dividends are recognized as investment income at the fair value of the property received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Trust’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

Distributions to Shareholders – Distributions to shareholders from net investment income, if any, for the ATAC US Rotation ETF are declared and paid at least quarterly and for the ATAC Credit Rotation ETF are declared and paid at least monthly. Distributions to shareholders from net realized gains on securities, if any, for each Fund normally are declared and paid on an annual basis. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Share Valuation – The NAV per share of each Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Fund, plus cash or other assets, minus all liabilities by the total number of shares outstanding for each Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. Each Fund’s shares will not be priced on the days on which the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is closed for trading.

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

Illiquid Investments – Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Funds have adopted a Board-approved Liquidity Risk Management Program (the “Program”) that requires, among other things, that each Fund limit its illiquid investments that are assets to no more than 15% of the value of each Fund’s net assets. An illiquid investment

ATAC ETFs

Notes to the Financial Statements – Continued

August 31, 2022

is any investment that a Fund reasonably expects 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. If either Fund should be in a position where the value of illiquid investments held by a Fund exceeds 15% of the Fund’s net assets, the Fund will take such steps as set forth in the Program.

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. These differences are primarily due to adjustments for redemptions in-kind. For the year ended August 31, 2022, the following adjustments were made:


Name of Fund	Paid-In Capital	Total Distributed (Accumulated) Earnings (Losses)
ATAC US Rotation ETF	$(1,995,001)	$1,995,001
ATAC Credit Rotation ETF	(297,868)	297,868

During the year ended August 31, 2022, the ATAC US Rotation ETF and ATAC Credit Rotation ETF realized $1,995,001 and $297,868, respectively, in net capital losses resulting from in-kind redemptions, in which shareholders exchanged Fund shares for securities held by the Funds rather than for cash. Because such losses are not taxable to the Funds, and are not distributed to shareholders, they have been reclassified from accumulated losses to paid-in capital.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements – In October 2020, the SEC adopted new regulations governing the use of derivatives by registered investment companies (“Rule 18f-4”). The Funds will be required to implement and comply with Rule 18f-4 by August 19, 2022. Once implemented, Rule 18f-4 will impose limits on the amount of derivatives a fund can enter into, eliminate the asset segregation framework currently used by funds to comply with Section 18 of the 1940 Act, treat derivatives as senior securities and require funds whose use of derivatives is more than a limited specified exposure amount to establish and maintain a comprehensive derivatives risk management program and appoint a derivatives risk manager. Management implemented a Rule 18f-4 Derivatives Risk Management Program effective August 19, 2022.

In December 2020, the SEC adopted a new rule providing a framework for fund valuation practices (“Rule 2a-5”). Rule 2a-5 establishes requirements for determining fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. Rule 2a-5 will permit fund boards to designate certain parties to perform fair value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions. Rule 2a-5 also defines when market quotations are “readily available” for purposes of the 1940 Act and the threshold for determining whether a fund must fair value a security. In connection with Rule 2a-5, the SEC also adopted related recordkeeping requirements and is rescinding previously issued guidance, including with respect to the role of a board in determining fair value and the accounting and auditing of fund investments. The Funds began complying with Rule 2a-5 effective September 8, 2022. Effective on that date, securities for which market quotations are not readily available will have a fair value determined by the Valuation Designee (as defined in Rule 2a-5) in accordance with the Pricing and Valuation Policy and Fair Value Procedures, as applicable, of the Funds’ investment adviser, Toroso Investments, LLC (the “Adviser”), subject to oversight by 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 Adviser’s Pricing and Valuation Policy and Fair Value Procedures, as applicable.

In June 2022, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2022-03, which amends Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU 2022-03”). ASU 2022-03 clarifies guidance for fair value measurement of an equity security subject to a contractual sale restriction and establishes new disclosure requirements for such equity securities. ASU 2022-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and for interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of these amendments on the financial statements.

3. PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS

Associated Risks of Short-Term Signals – Because the Funds expect to change their exposure as frequently as each week based on short-term price performance information, (i) each Fund’s exposure may be affected by significant market movements at or near the end of such short-term period that are not predictive of such asset’s performance for subsequent periods and (ii) changes to each Fund’s exposure may lag a significant change in an asset’s direction (up or down) if such changes first take effect at or near a weekend. Such lags between an asset’s performance and changes to each Fund’s exposure may result in significant under performance relative to the broader equity or fixed income market.

Short-Term Signals Risk (ATAC US Rotation ETF) – Additionally, because the Adviser (defined below) determines the exposure for the ATAC US Rotation ETF based on the price movements of gold and lumber, the Fund is exposed to the risk that such assets or their relative price movements fail to accurately predict future performance. Consequently, the ATAC US Rotation ETF may significantly underperform relative to the broader equity or fixed income market if the ATAC Risk-On/Risk-Off Index (the “RORO Index”) is unsuccessful at predicting future performance for the underlying exchange-traded funds (“Underlying ETFs” or “ETF”) in which the Fund invests.

Short-Term Signals Risk (ATAC Credit Rotation ETF) – Additionally, because the Adviser (defined below) determines the exposure for the ATAC Credit Rotation ETF based on the performance of the Utilities sector relative to the performance of the U.S. large-capitalization equity market, the Fund is exposed to the risk that such assets or their relative performance fail to accurately produce an advantageous signal. Consequently, the ATAC Credit Rotation ETF may significantly underperform relative to the broader fixed income market if the ATAC Credit-On/Credit-Off Index (the “JOJO Index”) is unsuccessful at producing an advantageous signal for the allocation to Underlying ETFs.

Credit Risk (ATAC Credit Rotation ETF Only) – Debt securities are subject to the risk of an issuer’s (or other party’s) failure or inability to meet its obligations under the security. Multiple parties may have obligations under a debt security. An issuer or borrower may fail to pay principal and interest when due. A guarantor, insurer or credit support provider may fail to provide the agreed upon protection. A counterparty to a transaction may fail to perform its side of the bargain. An intermediary or agent interposed between the investor and other parties may fail to perform the terms of its service. Also, performance under a debt security may be linked to the obligations of other persons who may fail to meet their obligations. The credit risk associated with a debt security could increase to the extent that the Fund’s ability to benefit fully from its investment in the security depends on the performance by multiple parties of their respective contractual or other obligations. The market value of a debt security is also affected by the market’s perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer.

ATAC ETFs

Notes to the Financial Statements – Continued

August 31, 2022

Derivatives Risk (ATAC US Rotation ETF Only) – The Fund is exposed to Derivatives Risk through its investments in leveraged Underlying ETFs. Such Underlying ETFs may use derivative instruments, including swap agreements and futures contracts, which derive their value from the value of an underlying asset or index. Derivative investments have risks, including the imperfect correlation between the value of such instruments and the underlying assets or index; the loss of principal, including the potential loss of amounts greater than the initial amount invested in the derivative instrument; the possible default of the other party to the transaction; and illiquidity of the derivative investments. If a counterparty becomes bankrupt or otherwise fails to perform its obligations under a derivative contract due to financial difficulties, the Underlying ETFs may experience significant delays in obtaining any recovery under the derivative contract in a bankruptcy or other reorganization proceeding. The derivatives used by the Underlying ETFs may give rise to a form of leverage. The use of leverage may exaggerate any increase or decrease in the net asset value, causing the Underlying ETFs to be more volatile. The use of leverage may also increase expenses and increase the impact of the Underlying ETF’s other risks. The use of leverage may cause the Underlying ETFs to liquidate portfolio positions to satisfy its obligations or to meet collateral segregation requirements or regulatory requirements when it may not be advantageous to liquidate such positions, resulting in increased volatility of returns. Certain of the Underlying ETF’s transactions in derivatives could also affect the amount, timing, and character of distributions to shareholders, which may result in the Underlying ETFs realizing more short-term capital gain and ordinary income subject to tax at ordinary income tax rates than it would if it did not engage in such transactions, which may adversely impact the Underlying ETF’s after-tax returns.

Equity Market Risk (ATAC US Rotation ETF Only) – To the extent the Fund invests in Underlying ETFs that invest in equity securities, the Fund is subject to the risk that the equity securities held by such Underlying ETFs may experience sudden, unpredictable drops in value or long periods of decline in value. This may occur because of factors that affect securities markets generally or factors affecting specific issuers, industries, or sectors in which an Underlying ETF invests. Common stocks are generally exposed to greater risk than other types of securities, such as preferred stock and debt obligations, because common stockholders generally have inferior rights to receive payment from issuers.

ETF Risks –

•Authorized Participants, Market Makers, and Liquidity Providers Concentration Risk. The Funds have a limited number of financial institutions that are authorized to purchase and redeem shares directly from the Funds (known as “Authorized Participants” or “APs”). In addition, there may be a limited number of market makers and/or liquidity providers in the marketplace. To the extent either of the following events occur, shares may trade at a material discount to NAV and possibly face delisting: (i) APs exit the business or otherwise become unable to process creation and/or redemption orders and no other APs step forward to perform these services; or (ii) market makers and/or liquidity providers exit the business or significantly reduce their business activities and no other entities step forward to perform their functions.

•Costs of Buying or Selling Shares. Due to the costs of buying or selling shares, including brokerage commissions imposed by brokers and bid-ask spreads, frequent trading of shares may significantly reduce investment results and an investment in shares may not be advisable for investors who anticipate regularly making small investments.

•Shares May Trade at Prices Other Than NAV. As with all ETFs, shares may be bought and sold in the secondary market at market prices. Although it is expected that the market price of shares will approximate each Fund’s NAV, there may be times when the market price of shares is more than the NAV intra-day (premium)

ATAC ETFs

Notes to the Financial Statements – Continued

August 31, 2022

or less than the NAV intra-day (discount) due to supply and demand of shares or during periods of market volatility. This risk is heightened in times of market volatility, periods of steep market declines, and periods when there is limited trading activity for shares in the secondary market, in which case such premiums or discounts may be significant.

•Trading. Although shares are listed on a national securities exchange, such as NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”), and may be traded on U.S. exchanges other than the Exchange, there can be no assurance that shares will trade with any volume, or at all, on any stock exchange. In stressed market conditions, the liquidity of shares may begin to mirror the liquidity of each Fund’s underlying portfolio holdings, which can be significantly less liquid than shares.

Fixed Income Risk – The Funds invest in Underlying ETFs that principally invest in long-duration U.S. Treasury securities. The value of fixed income securities will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income securities. On the other hand, if rates fall, the value of the fixed income securities generally increases. Fixed income securities may be subject to a greater risk of rising interest rates due to the current period of historically low rates and the effect of potential government fiscal policy initiatives and resulting market reaction to those initiatives. In general, the market price of fixed income securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. The value of fixed income securities may be affected by the inability of issuers to repay principal and interest or illiquidity in debt securities markets.

Government Obligations Risk (ATAC US Rotation ETF Only) – Some of the Underlying ETFs in which the Fund invests may invest in securities issued by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities. There can be no guarantee that the United States will be able to meet its payment obligations with respect to such securities. Additionally, market prices and yields of securities supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government or other countries may decline or be negative for short or long periods of time.

Government Securities Risk (ATAC Credit Rotation ETF Only) – A security backed by the U.S. Treasury or the full faith and credit of the United States is guaranteed only as to the timely payment of interest and principal when held to maturity. The market prices for such securities are not guaranteed and will fluctuate. In addition, because many types of U.S. government securities trade actively outside the United States, their prices may rise and fall as changes in global economic conditions affect the demand for these securities. In addition, U.S. Treasury obligations may differ from other securities in their interest rates, maturities, times of issuance and other characteristics. Changes in the financial condition or credit rating of the U.S government may cause the value of U.S. Treasury obligations to decline.

Growth Stocks Risk (ATAC US Rotation ETF Only) – Growth stocks, which may be held by some of the Underlying ETFs in which the Fund invests or in which the Fund may directly invest, tend to rise and fall with the business cycle. When the economy is doing well, generally the value of these companies increases; however, when there is a recession or downturn in the economy, these companies tend to decrease in value because their goods and services are generally not a necessity. These are typically companies that provide consumer discretionary goods or services. The success of consumer product manufacturers and retailers is tied closely to the performance of domestic and international economies, interest rates, exchange rates, competition, consumer confidence, changes in demographics, and consumer preferences. Growth companies may depend heavily on disposable household income and consumer spending, and may be strongly affected by social trends and marketing campaigns.

ATAC ETFs

Notes to the Financial Statements – Continued

August 31, 2022

High Portfolio Turnover Risk – The Funds actively and frequently trade all or a significant portion of the securities in their portfolios. A high portfolio turnover rate increases transaction costs, which may increase each Fund’s expenses. Frequent trading may also cause adverse tax consequences for investors in the Funds due to an increase in short-term capital gains.

High Yield Securities Risk (ATAC Credit Rotation ETF only) – Securities rated below investment grade are often referred to as high yield securities or “junk bonds” and are considered speculative in nature. Investments in lower rated corporate debt securities typically entail greater price volatility and principal and income risk. High yield securities may be more susceptible to real or perceived adverse economic and competitive industry conditions than investment grade securities. The prices of high yield securities have been found to be more sensitive to adverse economic downturns or individual corporate developments. A projection of an economic downturn or of a period of rising interest rates, for example, could cause a decline in high yield security prices because the advent of a recession could lessen the ability of a highly leveraged company to make principal and interest payments on its debt securities. If an issuer of high yield securities defaults, in addition to risking payment of all or a portion of interest and principal, the Fund by investing in such securities may incur additional expenses to obtain recovery.

Interest Rate Risk (ATAC Credit Rotation ETF) – When interest rates increase, underlying fixed income securities or instruments held by the Fund will generally decline in value. The historically low interest rate environment heightens the risks associated with rising interest rates. A rising interest rate environment may adversely impact the liquidity of fixed income securities and lead to increased volatility of fixed income markets. Long-term fixed income securities or instruments will normally have more price volatility because of this risk than short-term fixed income securities or instruments. The risks associated with changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on the markets and the Fund’s investments. Fluctuations in interest rates may also affect the liquidity of underlying fixed income securities and instruments held by the Fund.

Leveraged ETF Risk (ATAC US Rotation ETF Only) – Leveraged ETFs are subject to the risks presented by traditional ETFs (see “ETF Risks” above). Leveraged ETFs seek to provide investment results that match a multiple of the performance of an underlying index (e.g., three times the performance) for a single day and rely to some degree, often extensively, on derivatives to achieve their objectives. Thus, the Fund is indirectly exposed to derivatives risk through its investments in these leveraged ETFs. Further, investments in leveraged ETFs are subject to the risk that the performance of such ETF will not correlate with the underlying index as intended. Leveraged ETFs often “reset” daily, meaning that they are designed to achieve their stated objectives on a daily basis. Due to the effect of compounding, their performance over longer periods of time can differ significantly from the performance of their underlying index or benchmark during the same period of time. This effect can be magnified in volatile markets. Consequently, these investment vehicles may be extremely volatile and can potentially expose the Fund to complete loss of its investment.

Market Capitalization Risk (ATAC US Rotation ETF Only) – These risks apply to the extent the Underlying ETFs in which the Fund invests or in which the Fund invests directly, hold securities of large- and small-capitalization companies.

•Large-Capitalization Investing. The securities of large-capitalization companies may be relatively mature compared to smaller companies and therefore subject to slower growth during times of economic expansion. Large-capitalization companies may also be unable to respond quickly to new competitive challenges, such as changes in technology and consumer tastes.

ATAC ETFs

Notes to the Financial Statements – Continued

August 31, 2022

•Small-Capitalization Investing. The securities of small-capitalization companies may be more vulnerable to adverse issuer, market, political, or economic developments than securities of large- or mid-capitalization companies. The securities of small-capitalization companies generally trade in lower volumes and are subject to greater and more unpredictable price changes than large- or mid-capitalization stocks or the stock market as a whole. There is typically less publicly available information concerning smaller-capitalization companies than for larger, more established companies.

Non-Diversification Risk – Because the Funds are “non-diversified,” each Fund may invest a greater percentage of its assets in the securities of a single issuer or a smaller number of issuers than if they were diversified funds. As a result, a decline in the value of an investment in a single issuer or a small number of issuers could cause each Fund’s overall value to decline to a greater degree than if the Funds held a more diversified portfolio. This may increase each Fund’s volatility and have a greater impact on each Fund’s performance.

Underlying ETFs Risks – The Funds will incur higher and duplicative expenses because they invest in Underlying ETFs. There is also the risk that the Funds may suffer losses due to the investment practices of the Underlying ETFs. The Funds will be subject to substantially the same risks as those associated with the direct ownership of securities held by the Underlying ETFs. Additionally, the market price of the shares of an Underlying ETF in which the Funds invest will fluctuate based on changes in the net asset value as well as changes in the supply and demand of its shares in the secondary market. It is also possible that an active secondary market for an Underlying ETF’s shares may not develop, and market trading in the shares of the Underlying ETF may be halted under certain circumstances. Underlying ETFs are also subject to the “ETF Risks” described above.

4. COMMITMENTS AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Toroso Investments, LLC serves as investment adviser to the Funds pursuant to an investment advisory agreement between the Adviser and the Trust, on behalf of the Funds (the “Advisory Agreement”), and, pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, has overall responsibility for the general management and administration of the Funds, subject to the direction and oversight of the Board. The Adviser is also responsible for trading portfolio securities on behalf of the Funds, including selecting broker-dealers to execute purchase and sales transactions, subject to the supervision of the Board.

Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, each Fund pays the Adviser a unitary management fee (the “Management Fee”) based on the average daily net assets of each Fund as follows:


Name of Fund	Management Fee	Management Fee After Waiver
ATAC US Rotation ETF	1.25%	0.98%
ATAC Credit Rotation ETF	1.25%	0.98%

The Adviser has contractually agreed to waive 0.27% of its Management Fee until at least December 31, 2022 for each Fund (each, a “Fee Waiver Agreement,” and collectively, the “Fee Waiver Agreements”). The Fee Waiver Agreements may be terminated only by, or with the consent of, the Board. Any waived Management Fees are not able to be recouped by the Adviser under the Fee Waiver Agreements. Management Fees and Management Fee Waivers for the year ended August 31, 2022 are disclosed in the Statements of Operations.

ATAC ETFs

Notes to the Financial Statements – Continued

August 31, 2022

Out of the Management Fee, the Adviser is obligated to pay or arrange for the payment of substantially all expenses of the Funds, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, and all other related services necessary for the Funds to operate. Under the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser has agreed to pay all expenses incurred by the Funds except for interest charges on any borrowings, dividends and other expenses on securities sold short, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities and other investment instruments, acquired fund fees and expenses, accrued deferred tax liability, extraordinary expenses, distribution fees, and expenses paid by the Funds under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act (the “Excluded Expenses”), and the Management Fee payable to the Adviser. To the extent a Fund incurs Excluded Expenses, the Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver is greater than 0.98%. The Management Fees incurred are paid monthly to the Adviser.

The Adviser has entered into an agreement with Tactical Rotation Management, LLC (“TRM”), an entity owned by Mr. Michael Gayed, a portfolio manager for the Funds, under which the Adviser and TRM jointly assume the obligation of the Adviser to pay all expenses of the Fund, except Excluded Expenses (such expenses of the Funds, except Excluded Expenses, the “Unitary Expenses”), and such expenses are divided equally between the Adviser and TRM. Although TRM has agreed to be responsible for half of the Unitary Expenses, the Adviser retains the ultimate obligation to the Funds to pay such expenses. TRM is entitled to a fee, paid by the Adviser, based on the Management Fees earned by the Adviser under the Advisory Agreement less the Unitary Expenses and certain start-up costs.

Tidal ETF Services LLC (“Tidal”), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as the Funds’ administrator and, in that capacity, performs various administrative and management services for the Funds. Tidal coordinates the payment of Fund-related expenses and manages the Trust’s relationships with its various service providers.

U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services (“Fund Services”), serves as the Funds’ sub-administrator, fund accountant and transfer agent. In those capacities Fund Services performs various administrative and accounting services for the Funds. Fund Services prepares various federal and state regulatory filings, reports and returns for the Funds, including regulatory compliance monitoring and financial reporting; prepares reports and materials to be supplied to the Board; and monitors the activities of the Funds’ custodian. U.S. Bank N.A. (the “Custodian”), an affiliate of Fund Services, serves as the Funds’ custodian. The Custodian acts as the securities lending agent (the “Securities Lending Agent”) for the Funds.

Certain officers and a trustee of the Trust are affiliated with the Adviser and Fund Services. Neither the affiliated trustee nor the Trust’s officers receive compensation from the Funds.

5. SECURITIES LENDING

Each Fund may lend up to 33 1/3% of the value of the securities in its portfolio to brokers, dealers and financial institutions (but not individuals) under the terms of participation in a securities lending program administered by the Securities Lending Agent. The securities lending agreement requires that loans are collateralized at all times in an amount equal to at least the market value of the securities loaned by the Funds. The Funds receives compensation in the form of fees and earned interest on the cash collateral. Due to timing issues of when a security is recalled from loan, the financial statements may differ in presentation. The amount of fees depends on a number of factors

including the type of security and length of the loan. The Funds continue to receive interest payments or dividends on the securities loaned during the borrowing period. Gain or loss in the value of securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan will be for the account of the Funds. The Funds have the right under the terms of the securities lending agreements to recall the securities from the borrower on demand.

As of August 31, 2022, the market value of the securities on loan and payable on collateral received for securities lending were as follows:


Name of Fund	Market Value of Securities on Loan	Payable on Collateral Received	Percentage of Net Assets of Securities on Loan
ATAC US Rotation ETF	$—	$—	0%
ATAC Credit Rotation ETF	$3,052,914	$3,144,885	49.2%

The cash collateral is invested in the Mount Vernon Liquid Assets Portfolio, LLC of which the investment objective is to seek to maximize income to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital and liquidity and maintain a stable NAV of $1.00. Although risk is mitigated by the collateral, the Funds could experience a delay in recovering its securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return the borrowed securities. In addition, the Funds bear the risk of loss associated with the investment of cash collateral received.

During the year ended August 31, 2022, the Funds loaned securities that were collateralized by cash. The cash collateral received was invested in the Mount Vernon Liquid Assets Portfolio, LLC as listed in the Funds’ Schedules of Investments, if applicable. Securities lending income is disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Operations.

The Funds are not subject to a master netting agreement with respect to each Fund’s participation in securities lending; therefore, no additional disclosures regarding netting arrangements are required.

As of August 31, 2022, the ATAC US Rotation ETF did not have any securities on loan.

6. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES

For the year ended August 31, 2022, the cost of purchases and proceeds from the sales or maturities of securities, excluding short term investments, U.S. government securities and in-kind transactions were as follows:

7. INCOME TAXES AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

The tax character of distributions paid during the year ended August 31, 2022 and the period ended August 31, 2021 was as follows:


Name of Fund	Distributions paid from:	August 31, 2022	August 31, 2021

Total accumulated gain (loss)	$(10,943,630	)	$(1,931,351	)

⁽¹⁾The difference between book and tax-basis cost of investments was attributable primarily to the treatment of wash sales.

Net capital losses incurred after October 31 and net investment losses incurred after December 31, and within the taxable year, are deemed to arise on the first business day of the Funds’ next taxable year. As of August 31, 2022, the Funds had no late year losses and no short-term capital loss carryovers. As of August 31, 2022, the ATAC US Rotation ETF and ATAC Credit Rotation ETF deferred, on a tax basis, post-October losses of $8,877,309 and $310,125, respectively.

8. SHARE TRANSACTIONS

Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on the Exchange. Market prices for the shares may be different from their NAV. The Funds issue and redeem shares on a continuous basis at NAV generally in large blocks of shares (“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 Funds. Creation Units 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 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

ATAC ETFs

Notes to the Financial Statements – Continued

August 31, 2022

Participants nor have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they are unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Funds. 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.

Each 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 purchase or sale of Creation Units. The standard fixed transaction fee for the Funds is $300, payable to the Custodian. The fixed transaction fee may be waived on certain orders if the Funds’ 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 may be charged on all cash transactions or substitutes for Creation Units and Redemption Units for Funds of up to a maximum of 2% of the value of the Creation Units and Redemption Units subject to the transaction. Variable fees received by the Funds, if any, are disclosed in the capital shares transactions section of the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. The Funds may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, with no par value. All shares of the Funds have equal rights and privileges.

9. RECENT MARKET EVENTS

U.S. and international markets have experienced significant periods of volatility in recent years and months due to a number of economic, political and global macro factors including the impact of COVID-19 as a global pandemic and related public health crisis, growth concerns in the U.S. and overseas, uncertainties regarding interest rates, rising inflation, trade tensions, and the threat of tariffs imposed by the U.S. and other countries. The global recovery from COVID-19 is proceeding at slower than expected rates due to the emergence of variant strains and may last for an extended period of time. As a result of continuing political tensions and armed conflicts, including the war between Ukraine and Russia, the U.S. and the European Union imposed sanctions on certain Russian individuals and companies, including certain financial institutions, and have limited certain exports and imports to and from Russia. The war has contributed to recent market volatility and may continue to do so. These developments, as well as other events, could result in further market volatility and negatively affect financial asset prices, the liquidity of certain securities and the normal operations of securities exchanges and other markets, despite government efforts to address market disruptions. Continuing market volatility as a result of recent market conditions or other events may have adverse effects on your account.

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In preparing these financial statements, the Funds have evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued. The Funds have determined that there were no subsequent events that would need to be disclosed in the Funds’ financial statements.

Report Of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders of
ATAC US Rotation ETF and
ATAC Credit Rotation ETF and
The Board of Trustees of
Tidal ETF Trust

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of ATAC US Rotation ETF (“US Rotation ETF”) and ATAC Credit Rotation ETF (“Credit Rotation ETF”) (collectively the “Funds”), each a series of Tidal ETF Trust (the “Trust”), including the schedules of investments, as of August 31, 2022, the related statements of operations, statements of changes in net assets, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated in the table below, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of August 31, 2022, and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated in the table below, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


Individual Funds Constituting Tidal ETF Trust	Statement Of Operations	Statements Of Changes In Net Assets	Financial Highlights
ATAC US Rotation ETF	For the year ended August 31, 2022	For the year ended August 31, 2022 and for the period November 17, 2020 (commencement of operations) to August 31, 2021	For the year ended August 31, 2022 and for the period November 17, 2020 (commencement of operations) to August 31, 2021

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 have served as the auditor of one or more of the funds in the Trust since 2018.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

ATAC ETFs

Our audits included 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 included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. 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. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2022 by correspondence with the custodian. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Expense Examples (Unaudited)

For the Six Months Ended August 31, 2022

As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of the Funds’ shares, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees of the Funds. The examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which is from March 1, 2022 to August 31, 2022.

ACTUAL EXPENSES

The first line of the following tables provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. The examples include, but are not limited to, unitary fees. However, the examples do not include portfolio trading commissions and related expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then, multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period’’ to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

HYPOTHETICAL EXAMPLE FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES

The second line of the following tables provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which are not the Funds’ actual returns. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Funds and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of the Funds’ shares. Therefore, the second line of the following tables are useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Item 4. Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

The registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services during the past fiscal year. “Audit services” refer to performing an audit of the registrant's annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years. “Audit-related services” refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit. “Tax services” refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning. There were no “Other services” provided by the principal accountant. The following table details the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for the last fiscal year for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.

The audit committee has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures that require the audit committee to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services of the registrant, including services provided to any entity affiliated with the registrant.

The following table indicates the non-audit fees billed or expected to be billed by the registrant’s accountant for services to the registrant and to the registrant’s investment adviser (and any other controlling entity, etc.—not sub-adviser) for the last year. The audit committee of the board of trustees/directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant's investment adviser is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence and has concluded that the provision of such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant’s independence.
