Akre Focus Fund

Semi-Annual Letter to Shareholders March 2024

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

In recent weeks, we have read some interesting research on the record concentration in the “Magnificent 7” stocks of the S&P 500 index and the implications for the stock market and active management. We offer particular thanks to GMO’s Ben Inker and John Pease for their recent writing on this subject. Our synthesized view consists of the following key observations:

1)	The performance of the S&P 500 has been increasingly distorted over the past decade due to the record concentration in the Magnificent 7 stocks that have materially outperformed the other 493 stocks in the index in nine of the past ten calendar years.
2)	This unprecedented level of concentration has made it especially difficult for active managers to keep up with the S&P 500 over the past decade due to their natural bias to underweight the largest stocks in the index. Indeed, according to Morningstar, only 9.8% of US Large Cap managers beat the index over this period. Happily, the Akre Focus Fund is among this minority despite owning virtually none of the Magnificent 7 during this time.
3)	Because of the extraordinary level of concentration, a better gauge of active manager performance may be the equal-weighted S&P 500 index. Before protesting that this argument amounts to “moving the goal post,” note that the equal-weighted S&P 500 has performed better than the standard market-cap-weighted index since 1990.

The table below shows the net returns for the Fund over various periods ended January 31, 2024. In addition, the performance of the market-cap-weighted S&P 500 index is also presented.

Akre Focus Fund Average Annual Total Returns as of January 31, 2024
					Since Inception
	1 Year	3 Year	5 Year	10 Year	(8/31/09)
Akre Focus Fund –
Retail (AKREX)	21.87	9.82	13.81	13.54	14.99
Akre Focus Fund –
Institutional (AKRIX)	22.18	10.10	14.11	13.85	15.29
S&P 500® Index	20.82	10.99	14.30	12.62	13.60

Performance data quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. The investment re-turn and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Fund performance current to the most recent month-end may be lower or higher than the performance quoted and can be obtained by calling (877) 862-9556. The Fund imposes a 1.00% redemption fee on shares held less than 30 days. Performance data does not reflect the redemption fee, and if reflected, total returns would be reduced. Per the Prospectus, the Fund’s annual operating expense ratio (gross) for the Retail Class and Institutional Class shares is 1.31% and 1.04%, respectively. See the Financial Highlights in this report for the most current expense ratios.

In connection with point (3) above, we observe that the equal-weighted S&P 500 index annualized total return over the trailing 1-year, 3-year, 5-year, 10-year, and since inception periods were: 5.13% (versus 20.82% for the standard index!), 9.28%, 11.43%, 10.62%, and 12.93%, respectively. Against this benchmark, and without owning any of the Magnificent 7, the Fund has outperformed across each of these five trailing time periods.

To us, the delta between the market-cap-weighted S&P 500 index versus the equal-weighted S&P 500 index raises a far more interesting question than what is a more appropriate benchmark for active managers. We wonder whether the shift to “cheap beta” in the form of index-replicating ETFs and mutual funds has gone too far; whether the stock market is now “broken” as some contend.

Ironically, the efficacy of passive, price-driven index investing depends on active managers exercising value-driven judgment. Absent value-driven judgment, passive investing becomes an exercise in pure price momentum. Stocks that rise in price automatically get purchased by the index and are more heavily weighted. Stocks that go down in price automatically get sold and, thus, are weighted lower. For passive investors, judgements about value, the difference between the share price and the intrinsic worth of the business for example, do not enter the equation at all. For price to have a relationship to value requires the judgment and corrective actions of critical, active investors.

By design, this lack of judgment flies in the face of one of our favorite Warren Buffett maxims: that the stock market exists to serve investors, not to instruct them. Passive investors are entirely instructed by the market. Buying and selling is a correlated, automated response to price changes only. Active investors, theoretically at least, are served by exercising judgments about when stock prices and values deviate. Given the tidal shift from active to passive investing for more than a decade, it follows that today’s investors, to an unprecedented extent, are being instructed rather than served by the stock market.

Not that passive investors are complaining. They have benefited enormously from the increasingly narrow leadership of the S&P 500 and the move toward passive management that has, at least in part, fueled it. But the past decade is an anomaly. Over extended periods, the stocks of the very largest companies tend to underperform the average S&P 500 stock. The reason for that is simply because they are so big that needle-moving growth and innovation become progressively more challenging. This is why the equal-weighted S&P 500 index has done better over longer periods than the market-cap-weighted version.

Today’s preeminent “this time is different” narrative is that the Magnificent 7 will continue to outperform indefinitely. After all, these businesses are mostly comprised of dominant technology-based franchises at the center of our daily lives and the forefront of the coming A.I. revolution. Further, most of them enjoy enormous competitive advantages, are very profitable, and have strong balance sheets. A far cry from the cautionary tales of the late-90s internet bubble, for example.

No argument here!

Akre Focus Fund

The problem is that financial excess is often built on kernels of truth: exotic tulips were rare in the Netherlands; the South Sea Company’s exclusive rights to international trade would prove lucrative; the Internet will change the world; housing prices only go up. However strong the foundation, financial markets can build valuations up past the point of structural soundness. And in today’s heavily “instructed” market environment, where momentum begets momentum irrespective of value, this risk is not lessened.

Will the Magnificent 7 defy market history and drive index performance over the next decade just as they did the preceding? Time will tell. In the meantime, we will stick to our knitting: concentrating capital in what we believe to be exceptional businesses, managed by great people, with extensive reinvestment opportunity and acumen. All the while making judgments about value. We have not lived by the Magnificent 7, and we ought not die by it. For us, that’s one less thing to worry about.

The top five contributors to performance over the six months ended January 31, 2024, were Constellation Software, KKR, Mastercard, Moody’s and Visa. Nothing noteworthy to call out.

The five largest detractors from performance over the six months were Adobe, CarMax, KKR convertible preferred shares, Veralto, and Lumine. Veralto and Lumine were spin-offs of Danaher and Constellation Software, respectively, and those positions were sold subsequent to receipt.

Cash and equivalents were 3.2% and the top ten holdings comprised approximately 88% of the Fund’s assets as of January 31, 2024, and were:

Top Ten Holdings as of January 31, 2024 (Unaudited)	Percentage of Net Assets

Opinions expressed are those of Akre Capital Management, LLC and are subject to change, are not guaranteed, and should not be considered recommendations to buy or sell any security.

Mutual fund investing involves risk. Principal loss is possible. The Fund is non-diversified, meaning it may concentrate its assets in fewer individual holdings than a diversified fund. Therefore, the Fund is more exposed to individual stock volatility than a diversified fund. The Fund invests in small- and medium-capitalization companies, which involve additional risks such as limited liquidity and greater volatility than larger capitalization companies.

Must be preceded or accompanied by a current prospectus.

The S&P 500^® Index is an index of 500 large-capitalization companies selected by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC. One cannot invest directly in an index.

Magnificent Seven stocks are a group of high-performing and influential companies in the U.S. stock market: Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta Platforms, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Tesla.

Akre Focus Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS January 31, 2024 (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION

The Fund is a non-diversified series of shares of beneficial interest of Professionally Managed Portfolios (the “Trust”), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The 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 Fund commenced operations on August 31, 2009.

The Fund offers Retail, Institutional, and Supra Institutional Class shares. The Retail and Institutional Classes commenced operations on August 31, 2009, and the Supra Institutional Class commenced operations on August 31, 2015. Each class of shares has equal rights as to earnings and assets except that Retail Class shares bear distribution expenses and each class of shares bears its own shareholder servicing fees. Each class of shares has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect just that class. Income, expenses (other than expenses attributable to a specific class), and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based on its relative net assets.

The investment objective of the Fund is to seek to achieve long-term capital appreciation.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

A. Security Valuation. All equity securities, which may include Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”), Business Development Companies (“BDCs”), and Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”), that are traded on U.S. or foreign national securities exchanges are valued either at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded or the exchange’s official closing price, if applicable. If, on a particular day, an exchange-traded security does not trade, then the mean between the most recent quoted bid and asked prices will be used. All equity securities, which may include REITs, BDCs, and MLPs, that are not traded on a listed exchange are valued at the last sale price in the over-the-counter market. If a non-exchange traded security does not trade on a particular day, then the mean between the last quoted closing bid and asked price will be used.

17

Akre Focus Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS January 31, 2024 (Unaudited) (Continued)

Debt securities are valued by using the evaluated mean price supplied by an approved independent pricing service. The independent pricing service may use various valuation methodologies including, matrix pricing and other analytical pricing models as well as market transactions and dealer quotations. These models generally consider such factors as yields or prices of bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity, ratings and general market conditions.

Exchange traded options are valued at the composite price, using the National Best Bid and Offer quotes (“NBBO”). NBBO consists of the highest bid price and lowest ask price across any of the exchanges on which an option is quoted, thus providing a view across the entire U.S. options marketplace. Composite option pricing calculates the mean of the highest bid price and lowest ask price across the exchanges where the option is traded.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their respective fair values as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”). Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has designated Akre Capital Management, LLC (the “Advisor”) as valuation designee to perform fair value determinations relating to the Fund’s portfolio investments, subject to the Board’s oversight. 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 Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of its investments on a recurring basis. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of inputs are:

Level 1 –	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.
Level 2 –	Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates, and similar data.

18

Akre Focus Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS January 31, 2024 (Unaudited) (Continued)

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available; representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability; and would be based on the best information available.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurements fall in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Fund’s investments as of January 31, 2024. See the Schedule of Investments for an industry breakout.

	Significant increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.
B.	Foreign Currency. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions.
	The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net unrealized and realized gain or loss from investments.
	The Fund does not isolate net realized foreign exchange gains or losses that arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized gain or loss from investments. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than

20

Akre Focus Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS January 31, 2024 (Unaudited) (Continued)

	investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
C.	Federal Income Taxes. The 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 Fund intends to declare dividends in each calendar year for at least 98.0% of its net investment income (earned during the calendar year) and at least 98.2% of its net realized capital gains (earned during the twelve months ended October 31) plus undistributed amounts, if any, from prior years.
	Net capital losses incurred after October 31, and within the taxable year, are deemed to arise on the first business day of the Fund’s next taxable year. As of the most recent fiscal year ended July 31, 2023, the Fund deferred, on a tax basis, no late-year losses. The Fund did not defer any post-October losses or have any capital loss carry-forwards.
	As of January 31, 2024, the Fund did not have any tax positions that did not meet the “more likely than not” 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 Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. As of January 31, 2024, the Fund is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially.
D.	Security Transactions and Investment Income. Investment securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses realized on sales of securities are determined on a specific identification basis. 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. Dividends received from REITs generally are comprised of ordinary income, capital gains, and may include return of capital. Interest 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 and interest have been provided for in accordance with the Trust’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.

21

Akre Focus Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS January 31, 2024 (Unaudited) (Continued)

E.	Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains on securities for the Fund normally are declared and paid on an annual basis. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
F.	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, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G.	Share Valuation. The net asset value (“NAV”) per share of the Fund is calculated by dividing the sum of the value of the securities held by the Fund, plus cash and other assets, minus all liabilities (including estimated accrued expenses) by the total number of shares outstanding for the Fund, rounded to the nearest cent. The Fund’s shares will not be priced on the days on which the New York Stock Exchange is closed for trading. The offering and redemption price per share for the Fund is equal to the Fund’s NAV per share. The Fund charges a 1.00% redemption fee on shares held less than 30 days. This fee is deducted from the redemption proceeds otherwise payable to the shareholder. The Fund retains the fee charged as paid-in capital and such fees become part of the Fund’s daily NAV calculation.
H.	Guarantees and Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.
I.	Illiquid Securities. Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted a Board approved liquidity risk management program (the “program”) that requires, among other things, that the Fund limit its illiquid investments that are assets to no more than 15% of net assets. An illiquid investment is any investment that the 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.
J.	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. 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”).

22

Akre Focus Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS January 31, 2024 (Unaudited) (Continued)

	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 of these amendments on the financial statements.
	In October 2022, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) adopted rule and form amendments that are designed to require funds to transmit concise and visually engaging shareholder reports that highlight key information. The amendments became effective January 24, 2023 and have a compliance date of July 24, 2024.
K.	Subsequent Events. In preparing these financial statements, the Fund has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued. The Fund has determined that there were no subsequent events that would need to be disclosed in the Fund’s financial statements.

NOTE 3 – COMMITMENTS AND OTHER RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Akre Capital Management, LLC (the “Advisor”) provides the Fund with investment management services under an Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”). Under the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor furnishes all investment advice, office space, and certain administrative services, and provides most of the personnel needed by the Fund. As compensation for its services, the Advisor is entitled to a monthly fee at the annual rate of 0.90% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. The investment advisory fees incurred by the Fund for the six months ended January 31, 2024, are disclosed in the Statement of Operations. The investment advisory fees incurred are paid monthly to the Advisor, net of any monthly waiver or reimbursement discussed below.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to reduce fees and/or pay Fund expenses in order to limit the annual ratio of expenses for shares of the Fund to 1.14% of the Fund’s average daily net assets (the “Expense Cap”), excluding distribution expenses, shareholder servicing fees, and any other class-specific expenses. The current Expense Cap for the Fund is in place indefinitely, and may be terminated at any time, and without payment of any penalty, by the Board, on behalf of the Fund, upon 60 days’ written notice to the Advisor. The Advisor is permitted to be reimbursed for fee reductions and/or expense payments made in the prior three years. The Fund must pay its current ordinary operating expenses before the Advisor is entitled to any reimbursements of fees and/or expenses. Any such reimbursement is subject to

23

Akre Focus Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS January 31, 2024 (Unaudited) (Continued)

the Board’s review and approval. This reimbursement may be requested by the Advisor if the aggregate amount actually paid by the Fund toward operating expenses for such period (taking into account any reimbursement) does not exceed the lesser of the Expense Cap in place at the time of waiver or at the time of reimbursement. The Fund operated below the current Expense Cap and accordingly, the Advisor did not waive any fees or reimburse expenses for the six months ended January 31, 2024. Any amount due from the Advisor is paid monthly to the Fund, if applicable.

U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, doing business as U.S. Bank Global Fund Services (“Fund Services”), serves as the Fund’s administrator, fund accountant, and transfer agent. In those capacities, Fund Services maintains the Fund’s books and records, calculates the Fund’s NAV, prepares various federal and state regulatory filings, coordinates the payment of the Fund’s expenses, reviews expense accruals, and prepares materials supplied to the Board. The officers of the Trust and the Chief Compliance Officer are also employees of Fund Services. Fees paid by the Fund to Fund Services for these services for the six months ended January 31, 2024, are disclosed in the Statement of Operations.

Quasar Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) acts as the Fund’s principal underwriter in a continuous public offering of the Fund’s shares. U.S. Bank N.A. serves as custodian to the Fund. U.S. Bank N.A. is an affiliate of Fund Services.

The Fund has adopted a Distribution Plan in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act on behalf of the Retail Class shares and a Shareholder Servicing Plan on behalf of the Retail, Institutional, and Supra Institutional Class shares. The Distribution Plan provides that the Fund may pay an annual fee to the Distributor of up to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Retail Class shares. These fees may be used by the Distributor to provide compensation for sales support, distribution activities, or shareholder servicing activities. No distribution fees are paid by Institutional Class or Supra Institutional Class shares. Under the Shareholder Servicing Plan, the Retail, Institutional, and Supra Institutional Classes are authorized to pay an annual shareholder servicing fee of up to 0.10%, 0.10%, and 0.03% of each class’s average daily net assets, respectively. This fee is used to finance certain activities related to servicing and maintaining shareholder accounts. For the six months ended January 31, 2024, the distribution fees and shareholder servicing fees incurred by the Fund are disclosed in the Statement of Operations.

NOTE 4 – SECURITIES LENDING

The Fund may lend up to 33 1/3% of its total asset value to brokers, dealers, and financial institutions (but not individuals) under terms of participation in a securities lending program administered by U.S. Bank N.A.

24

Akre Focus Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS January 31, 2024 (Unaudited) (Continued)

The securities lending agreement requires that loans are collateralized at all times in an amount equal to at least 100% of the market value of any loaned securities at the time of the loan, plus accrued interest.

The Fund receives compensation in the form of fees and earns interest on the cash collateral. The amount of fees depends on a number of factors including the type of security and length of the loan. The Fund continues to receive interest payments or dividends on the securities loaned during the borrowing year. The Fund has the right under the terms of the securities lending agreement to recall the securities from the borrower on demand.

The Fund’s loaned securities are collateralized by cash equivalents. The cash collateral is invested by U.S. Bank N.A. in accordance with approved investment guidelines. Those guidelines require the cash collateral to be invested in readily marketable, high quality, short-term obligations; however, such investments are subject to risk of payment delays or default on the part of the issuer or counterparty or otherwise may not generate sufficient interest to support the costs associated with securities lending. The Fund could also experience delays in recovering its securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return the borrowed securities, although the Fund is indemnified from this risk by contract with the securities lending agent.

As of six months ended January 31, 2024, the market value of the securities on loan and payable on collateral received for securities lending were as follows:

	Market Value of	Payable on
	Securities on Loan	Collateral Received
Akre Focus Fund	$185,068	$195,000

The Fund receives cash as collateral in return for securities lent as part of the securities lending program. The collateral is invested in the First American Government Obligations Fund (a money market fund subject to Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act). The remaining contractual maturity of all the securities lending transactions is overnight and continuous.

The interest income earned by the Fund on investments of cash collateral received from borrowers for the securities loaned to them (“Income from securities lending, net”) is reflected in the Statement of Operations.

NOTE 5 – PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES

For the six months ended January 31, 2024, the cost of purchases and the proceeds from the sale or maturity of securities, other than short-term investments, were $108,097,384 and $1,866,793,367¹, respectively.

There were no purchases, sales, or maturities of long-term U.S. Government securities for the six months ended January 31, 2024.

 ¹ $1,255,879,408 of this figure relates to in-kind transactions.

Akre Focus Fund

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited)

At a meeting held on August 17-18, 2023, the Board (which is comprised of five persons, all of whom are Independent Trustees as defined under the Investment Company Act) considered and approved the continuance of the Investment Advisory Agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between Professionally Managed Portfolios (the “Trust”) and Akre Capital Management, LLC (the “Advisor”) for the Akre Focus Fund (the “Fund”) for another annual term. At this meeting and at a prior meeting held on June 26, 2023, the Board received and reviewed substantial information regarding the Fund, the Advisor and the services provided by the Advisor to the Fund under the Advisory Agreement. This information, together with the information provided to the Board throughout the course of the year, formed the primary (but not exclusive) basis for the Board’s determinations. Below is a summary of the factors considered by the Board and the conclusions that formed the basis for the Board’s approval of the continuance of the Advisory Agreement:

1. The nature, extent and quality of the services provided and to be provided by the Advisor under the Advisory Agreement. The Trustees considered the nature, extent and quality of the Advisor’s overall services provided to the Fund as well as its specific responsibilities in all aspects of day-to-day investment management of the Fund. The Board considered the qualifications, experience and responsibilities of the portfolio managers, as well as the responsibilities of other key personnel of the Advisor involved in the day-to-day activities of the Fund. The Board noted the actions taken by the Advisor over the past year to involve the Fund in the ReFlow redemption program to assist the Fund in managing its purchase and redemption activity and reduce the capital gain to shareholders resulting from such activity. The Board also considered the resources and compliance structure of the Advisor, including information regarding its compliance program, its chief compliance officer and the Advisor’s compliance record, as well as the Advisor’s cybersecurity program, business continuity plan, and risk management process. The Board also considered the prior relationship between the Advisor and the Trust, as well as the Board’s knowledge of the Advisor’s operations, and noted that during the course of the prior year they had met with certain personnel of the Advisor to discuss fund performance and investment outlook, as well as various marketing and compliance topics. The Board concluded that the Advisor had the quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment processes and compliance policies and procedures essential to performing its duties under the Advisory Agreement and that they were satisfied with the nature, overall quality and extent of such management services.

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (Continued)

2.	The Fund’s historical performance and the overall performance of the Advisor. In assessing the quality of the portfolio management delivered by the Advisor, the Board reviewed the short-term and long-term performance of the Fund on both an absolute basis, and in comparison to its peer funds utilizing Morningstar classifications, appropriate securities market benchmarks and the Advisor’s similarly managed accounts, all for periods ended March 31, 2023. The Board also considered performance against a smaller group of peers selected by an independent third-party consultant engaged by the Board to assist it in its 15(c) review (the “Cohort”). While the Board considered both short-term and long-term performance, it placed greater emphasis on longer term performance. When reviewing performance against the comparative peer group universe, the Board took into account that the investment objective and strategies of the Fund, as well as its level of risk tolerance, may differ significantly from funds in the peer universe. When reviewing the Fund’s performance against broad market benchmarks, the Board took into account the differences in portfolio construction between the Fund and such benchmarks as well as other differences between actively managed funds and passive benchmarks, such as objectives and risks. In assessing periods of relative underperformance or outperformance, the Board took into account that relative performance can be significantly impacted by performance measurement periods and that some periods of underperformance may be transitory in nature while others may reflect more significant underlying issues.
	The Board noted that the Fund outperformed its Morningstar peer group average for the one-year, five-year and ten-year periods and underperformed for the three-year period . The Board noted that the Fund outperformed its Cohort average for the one-year, five-year and ten-year periods and underperformed for the three-year period.
	The Board also considered the performance of the Fund against its broad-based securities market benchmark, noting that the Fund underperformed the benchmark for the one-, three-, and five-year periods and outperformed for the ten-year period.
	The Board also considered the Fund’s outperformance compared to the Advisor’s similarly managed separate account composite for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods.

3.	The costs of the services provided by the Advisor and the structure of the Advisor’s fees under the Advisory Agreement. In considering the advisory fee and total fees and expenses of the Fund, the Board reviewed comparisons to the peer funds and similarly managed separate accounts for other types of clients advised by the Advisor. When reviewing fees charged to other similarly managed accounts, the Board took into consideration the type of account and the differences in the management of that account that might be germane to the difference, if any, in the fees charged to such accounts.
	The Board noted that the Advisor had contractually agreed to maintain an annual expense ratio of 1.14% for the Fund, excluding certain operating expenses and class-level expenses (the “Expense Cap”) and noted that the Fund was currently operating below this level. The Board noted that the Fund’s net expense ratio (less Rule 12b-1 fees) was higher than that of its Morningstar peer group average. The Board also considered that the Fund’s advisory fee and net expense ratio (less Rule 12b-1 fees) were higher than those of its Cohort average. The Board also took into consideration the services the Advisor provided to its similarly managed separate account clients and private funds, comparing the fees charged for those management services to the fees charged to the Fund. The Board found that the fees charged to the Fund were below the fees charged by the Advisor to its similarly managed separate account clients and private funds. The Board concluded that the fees paid to the Advisor were fair and reasonable particularly in light of the strong longer term comparative performance of the Fund against benchmarks and peers.
4.	Economies of Scale. The Board also considered whether economies of scale were being realized by the Advisor as the assets of the Fund had grown materially in recent years. The Board noted that the Advisor has contractually agreed to reduce its advisory fees or reimburse Fund expenses so that the Fund does not exceed its specified Expense Cap, noting that the total expense ratio has been below that of the Expense Cap for some time. The Board also considered that economies of scale have been shared with shareholders through increased investments by the Advisor in technology and resources, including investments in personnel related to the investment process to help maintain the Fund’s performance. In addition, the Board considered the out-of-pocket fees paid by the Advisor to support shareholder services as well as the additional resources employed, and costs incurred, in the

29

APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT (Unaudited) (Continued)

adoption of the ReFlow redemption program to benefit the Fund and its shareholders. The Board concluded that it would continue to revisit this issue in the future as circumstances changed.

5.

The profits to be realized by the Advisor and its affiliates from its relationship with the Fund. The Board reviewed the Advisor’s financial information and took into account both the direct benefits and the indirect benefits to the Advisor from advising the Fund. The Board considered the profitability to the Advisor from its relationship with the Fund and considered any additional material benefits derived by the Advisor from its relationship with the Fund, particularly benefits received in exchange for “soft dollars” and the Rule 12b-1 fees paid to the Advisor. In assessing profitability, the Board took into account that a significant portion of allocated Fund expenses was comprised of a distribution to the Fund’s portfolio management team, as their compensation. After such review, the Board determined that the profitability to the Advisor with respect to the Advisory Agreement was not excessive and was consistent with the profitability in previous years. The Board determined that the Advisor had maintained adequate financial resources to support the services it provides to the Fund.

No single factor was determinative of the Board’s decision to approve the continuance of the Advisory Agreement, but rather the Board based its determination on the total combination of information available to it. Based on a consideration of all the factors in their totality, the Board determined that the advisory arrangements with the Advisor, including the advisory fee, were fair and reasonable. The Board therefore determined that the continuance of the Advisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders.

EXPENSE EXAMPLES For the Six Months Ended January 31, 2024 (Unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including investment advisory fees, distribution and/or service fees, and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (August 1, 2023 – January 31, 2024).

Actual Expenses

The “Actual” lines of the following table provides information about actual account values based on actual returns and actual expenses. Although the Fund charges no sales loads, you will be assessed fees for outgoing wire transfers, returned checks, and stop payment orders at prevailing rates charged by Fund Services, the Fund’s transfer agent. If you request that a redemption be made by wire transfer, a $15.00 fee is currently charged by Fund Services. You will be charged a redemption fee equal to 1% of the net amount of the redemption if you redeem your shares less than 30 days after you purchase them. An Individual Retirement Account will be charged an annual maintenance fee. To the extent the Fund invests in shares of other investment companies as part of its investment strategy, you will indirectly bear your proportionate share of any fees and expenses charged by the underlying funds in which the Fund invests in addition to the expenses of the Fund. Actual expenses of the underlying funds may vary. These expenses are not included in the following examples. The following examples include, but are not limited to, investment advisory fees, shareholder servicing fees, distribution fees, fund accounting fees, fund administration fees, custody fees, and transfer agent fees. However, the following 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 actual line under the heading titled, “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The “Hypothetical” lines of the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. 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

31

Akre Focus Fund

EXPENSE EXAMPLES For the Six Months Ended January 31, 2024 (Unaudited) (Continued)

compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund 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 transaction costs, such as redemption fees. Therefore, each hypothetical line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transaction costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

	Beginning	Ending	Expenses Paid
	Account Value	Account Value	During the Period
	8/1/2023	1/31/2024	8/1/2023 – 1/31/20241
Retail Class Actual	$1,000.00	$1,134.10	$7.03
Hypothetical (5% return
before expenses)	1,000.00	1,018.55	6.65
Institutional Class Actual	1,000.00	1,135.60	5.58
Hypothetical (5% return
before expenses)	1,000.00	1,019.91	5.28
Supra Institutional
Class Actual	1,000.00	1,135.90	5.21
Hypothetical (5% return
before expenses)	1,000.00	1,020.26	4.93

¹ For the Fund’s Retail, Institutional, and Supra Institutional Class shares, expenses are equal to the annualized expense ratio for the most recent six-month period of 1.31%, 1.04%, and 0.97%, respectively, multiplied by the average account value over the period multiplied by 184/366 (to reflect the one-half year period).
