HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS PERFORMANCE?
The Vident International Equity Strategy ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of the Vident Core International Equity Index (the “Index”). The Index seeks to provide investors with a well-diversified set of global equities exposures across countries, regions and stocks, emphasizing countries with more favorable conditions for investment as well as economic and financial market resilience. The Index also seeks to enhance investors’ stock exposures, systematically selecting higher quality stocks that Vident believes to have favorable valuations and favorable price momentum.
The period in question was characterized by several economic and financial trends. One of the most highly visible was high volatility in trade policy with on and off and on-again threats of tariffs against all of the U.S.’s significant trading partners. Coinciding with that was a general slowing of economic growth, including a contraction in gross domestic product (“GDP”) in the first quarter of 2025. Consistent with the general public narrative and with the Federal Reserve’s dual mandate, there was a clearly discernible shift towards expectations of the Federal Reserve easing interest rates, and those expectations were realized at the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) meeting in September 2025. What one would expect to see during a time of Federal Reserve interest rate easing is a weakening of the U.S. Dollar relative to the currencies of the Fund’s investable markets, which would generally be helpful to ex-U.S. funds such as the Fund. The market dynamics shown below are consistent with that pattern of trade tensions and Federal Reserve interest rate easing, with the two largest contributors being based in Thailand, a country benefiting from a shift away from direct U.S.-China trade and reconfiguration of global trade towards other parts of Asia and buoyed by a significant rise in the Baht relative to the U.S. Dollar.

HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS PERFORMANCE?
The Vident U.S. Bond Strategy ETF (the “Fund”) is an actively-managed fund that seeks current income and long-term capital appreciation. The Fund may invest in any core U.S. bond sector, including U.S. Treasuries, U.S. agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, and investment-grade corporate bonds, private credit collateralized loan obligations and collateralized mortgage obligations, as well as any non-core bond sector, such as high-yield corporate bonds (also known as “junk bonds”), Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, private credit, and dollar-denominated international bonds. Prior to May 9, 2025, the Fund sought to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of the Vident Core U.S. Bond Index (the “Index”).

The period in question was characterized by several economic and financial trends. One of the most highly visible was high volatility in trade policy with on and off and on-again threats of tariffs against all of the U.S.’s significant trading partners. Coinciding with that was a general slowing of economic growth, including a contraction in gross domestic product (“GDP”) in the first quarter of 2025. Consistent with the general public narrative and with the Federal Reserve’s dual mandate, there was a clearly discernible shift towards expectations of the Federal Reserve easing interest rates, and those expectations were realized at the Federal Open Market Committee meeting in September 2025. What one would expect to see during a time of trade tensions and Fed Reserve interest rate easing is generally good for U.S. Treasuries, especially those on the short end of the yield curve which are most affected by Federal Reserve interest rate policy. The market dynamics are consistent with that pattern of Federal Reserve Interest easing, shorter duration U.S. Treasuries being most affected as well as a trade sensitive company such as Federal Express being negatively affected.

HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS PERFORMANCE?
The Vident U.S. Equity Strategy ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of the Vident U.S. Quality Index (the “Index”). The Index represents a portfolio of U.S. equities that adhere to higher standards of corporate governance and accounting, as measured by numerous research metrics. This research is integrated into a systematic and structured selection process that seeks to provide an index of higher quality U.S. companies across small, medium and large-capitalization ranges. The Index also seeks to mitigate some of the risks often associated with market capitalization-weighted indices, including issuer concentration.

The period in question was characterized by several economic and financial trends. One of the most highly visible was high volatility in trade policy with on and off and on-again threats of tariffs against all of the U.S.’s significant trading partners. Coinciding with that was a general slowing of economic growth, including a contraction in gross domestic product (“GDP”) in the first quarter of 2025. Consistent with the general public narrative and with the Federal Reserve’s dual mandate, there was a clearly discernible shift towards expectations of the Federal Reserve easing interest rates, and those expectations were realized at the Federal Open Market Committee meeting in September 2025. What one would expect to see during a time of Federal Reserve interest rate easing is generally good for growth stocks in the technology sector, especially those connected to artificial intelligence technology which are disproportionately represented among the securities listed below. The relatively weak contributions of the pharmaceutical companies in the Fund’s portfolio are consistent both with a move away from defensive sectors which often accompanies times of easing and also times of disruptions in international trade.

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 two fiscal years. “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 each of the last two fiscal years for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.

(e)(1) 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.

 

(e)(2) The percentage of fees billed by Cohen & Company, Ltd. applicable to non-audit services pursuant to waiver of pre-approval requirement were as follows:

Registrant N/A N/A
Registrant’s Investment Adviser N/A N/A

 

(h) The audit committee of the board of trustees 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.

 

(i) The registrant has not been identified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as having filed an annual report issued by a registered public accounting firm branch or office that is located in a foreign jurisdiction where the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board is unable to inspect or completely investigate because of a position taken by an authority in that jurisdiction.

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION
Vident International Equity Strategy ETFTM, Vident U.S. Bond Strategy ETFTM and Vident U.S. Equity Strategy ETFTM (individually each a “Fund” or collectively the “Funds”) are diversified series of ETF Series Solutions (“ESS” or the “Trust”), an open-end management investment company consisting of multiple investment series, organized as a Delaware statutory trust on February 9, 2012. The Trust is registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company and the offering of the Funds’ shares is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The investment objectives of the Vident International Equity Strategy ETFTM and the Vident U.S. Equity Strategy ETFTM is to seek to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the Vident Core International Equity IndexTM and Vident U.S. Quality IndexTM, respectively. The Vident U.S. Bond Strategy ETFTM is actively-managed and seeks current income and long-term capital appreciation. Prior to May 9, 2025, the Vident U.S. Bond Strategy ETFTM sought to track the total return performance, before fees and expenses, of the Vident Core U.S. Bond IndexTM. Vident International Equity Strategy ETFTM commenced operations on October 29, 2013; Vident U.S. Bond Strategy ETFTM commenced operations on October 15, 2014; and Vident U.S. Equity Strategy ETFTM commenced operations on January 21, 2014.
The end of the reporting period for the Funds is August 31, 2025. The current fiscal period is the period from September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2025.
NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
A.
Security Valuation. All equity securities, including domestic and foreign common stocks, preferred stocks, and exchange traded funds that are traded on a national securities exchange, except those listed on the Nasdaq Global Market®, Nasdaq Global SelectMarket® and Nasdaq Capital Market® exchanges (collectively “Nasdaq”), are valued at the last reported sale price on the exchange on which the security is principally traded. Securities traded on Nasdaq will be valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). If, on a particular day, an exchange traded or Nasdaq security does not trade, then the mean between the most recent quoted bid and asked prices will be used. All equity securities that are not traded on a listed exchange are valued at the last sale price in the over-the-counter market. If a non-exchange traded security does not trade on a particular day, then the mean between the last quoted closing bid and asked price will be used. Prices denominated in foreign currencies are converted to U.S. dollar equivalents at the current exchange rate, which approximates fair value.
Investments in mutual funds, including money market funds, are valued at their net asset value (“NAV”) per share.
Debt securities, including short-term debt instruments, are valued in accordance with prices provided by a pricing service. Pricing services may use various valuation methodologies such as the mean between the bid and asked prices, matrix pricing and other analytical pricing models as well as market transactions and dealer quotations.
Securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued at their respective fair values in accordance with pricing procedures adopted by the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”). When a security is “fair valued,” consideration is given to the facts and circumstances relevant to the particular situation, including a review of various factors set forth in the pricing procedures adopted by the Board. The use of fair value pricing by the Funds may cause the NAV of the shares to differ significantly from the NAV that would be calculated without regard to such considerations.

Vident ETFs

August 31, 2025(Continued)
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 valuations 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 the Funds’ investments as of the end of the current fiscal period:

During the current fiscal period, the Funds did not recognize any transfers to or from Level 3.
B.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash and overnight investments in interest bearing demand deposits with a financial institution. Amounts swept overnight are available on the next business day.
C.
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 Funds do 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 realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments. The Funds report 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 Funds’ books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
D.
Securities Purchased or Sold on a Forward-Commitment Basis. Vident U.S. Bond Strategy ETFTM may enter into TBA commitments, Mortgage Dollar Roll Transactions or other purchase and sale transactions that specify forward delivery of a financial security. TBA commitments are forward agreements for the purchase or sale of mortgage-backed pass-through securities for a fixed price, with payment and delivery on an agreed upon future settlement date. Most commitments in mortgage-backed pass-through securities occur for future delivery in which the exact mortgage pools to be delivered are not specified until a few days prior to settlement. The specific securities to be delivered are not identified at the trade date. However, delivered securities must follow general trade parameters, including issuer, rate and mortgage terms. When entering into TBA commitments, the Fund may take possession of or deliver the underlying mortgage-backed pass-through securities but can extend the settlement or roll the transaction. In order to better define contractual rights and to secure rights that will help the Fund mitigate counterparty risk, TBA commitments may be entered into by a Fund under Master Securities Forward Transaction Agreements (each, an “MSFTA”). An MSFTA typically contains, among other things, collateral posting terms and netting provisions in the event of default and/or termination event. The collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark-to-market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of the collateral currently pledged by a Fund and the counterparty. Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover the obligations of the Trust or cash collateral received from the counterparty, if any, is reported separately on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as cash held as collateral for TBA commitments or cash received as collateral for TBA commitments, respectively. In connection with this ability, the Fund may enter into mortgage “dollar rolls” in which a Fund sells TBA mortgage-backed securities and simultaneously contracts to repurchase substantially similar (i.e., same type, coupon and maturity) securities on a specific future date at an agreed upon price. During the period between the sale and repurchase, a Fund is not entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities sold. Mortgage dollar roll transactions are treated as purchases and sales and the Fund realizes gains and losses on these transactions.

OFFSETTING ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The Vident U.S. Bond Strategy ETFTM is subject to various MSFTAs, which govern the terms of certain transactions with select counterparties. The MSFTAs allow the Fund to close out and net its total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a default with respect to all the transactions governed under a single agreement with a counterparty. The MSFTAs also specify collateral posting arrangements at prearranged exposure levels. Under the MSFTAs, collateral is routinely transferred if the total net exposure to certain transactions (net of existing collateral already in place) governed under the relevant MSFTAs with a counterparty in a given account exceeds a specified threshold depending on the counterparty and type of MSFTAs.
The following is a summary of the Assets and Liabilities subject to offsetting in the Fund as of the end of the current fiscal period.

In some instances, the collateral amounts disclosed in the tables were adjusted due to the requirement to limit the collateral amounts to avoid the effect of overcollateralization. Actual collateral received/pledged may be more than the amounts disclosed herein.
E.
Federal Income Taxes. The Funds’ policy is to comply with the provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their net investment income and net capital gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. Each Fund plans to file U.S. Federal and various state and local tax returns.
Each Fund recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is more likely than not to be sustained. Management has analyzed each Fund’s uncertain tax positions and concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions. Management is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next 12 months. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits on uncertain tax positions as income tax expenses in the Statements of Operations. During the current fiscal period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
F.
Security Transactions and Investment Income. Investment securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses realized from sales of securities are determined on a specific identification basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income or separately disclosed, if any, are recorded at fair value of the security received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends and foreign taxes on capital gains have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable tax rules and regulations. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are accreted and amortized using the effective yield method. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the Statements of Operations.
Distributions received from the Funds’ investments in real estate investment trusts (“REIT”) may be characterized as ordinary income, net capital gain, or a return of capital. The proper characterization of REIT distributions is generally not known until after the end of each calendar year. As such, the Funds must use estimates in reporting the character of their income and distributions received during the current calendar year for financial statement purposes. The actual character of distributions to the Funds’ shareholders will be reflected on the Form 1099 received by shareholders after the end of the calendar year. Due to the nature of REIT investments, a portion of the distributions received by a Fund’s shareholders may represent a return of capital.
G.
Distributions to Shareholders. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income for the Funds are declared and paid at least on a quarterly basis and distributions from net realized gains on securities are normally declared and paid on an annual basis. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
H.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the current fiscal period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

I.
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 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 Funds’ shares will not be priced on the days on which the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (“NYSE”) is closed for trading. The offering and redemption price per share for each Fund is equal to the Fund’s NAV per share.
J.
Guarantees and Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. Each Fund’s 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.
K.
Reclassification of Capital Accounts. U.S. GAAP requires that certain components of net assets relating to permanent differences be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or NAV per share. The permanent differences are primarily due to differing book and tax treatments for in-kind transactions. For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2025 the following table shows the reclassifications made:

L.
New Accounting Pronouncement. Management has evaluated the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures with respect to the financial statements and disclosures and determined there is no material impact for the Funds.  Each Fund operates as a single segment entity. Each Fund’s income, expenses, assets, and performance are regularly monitored and assessed by the Adviser’s Enterprise Risk Committee, who serves as the chief operating decision maker, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.
M.
Subsequent Events. In preparing these financial statements, management has evaluated events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure through the date the financial statements were issued. There were no events or transactions that occurred during the period subsequent to the end of the current fiscal period that materially impacted the amounts or disclosures in the Funds’ Financial Statements.

The differences between book and tax-basis cost are attributable to the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains on investments in passive foreign investment companies and wash sales. A regulated investment company may elect for any taxable year to treat any portion of any qualified late year loss as arising on the first day of the next taxable year. Qualified late year losses are certain capital and ordinary losses which occur during the portion of the Funds’

NOTE 6 – SHARE TRANSACTIONS
Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on New York Stock Exchange Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”). 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 called “Creation Units.” Creation Units are issued and redeemed principally in-kind for securities included in a specified universe. Once created, shares generally trade in the secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities of a Fund. Creation Units of a Fund may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions (“Authorized Participants”). An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a Depository Trust Company participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. Most retail investors do not qualify as Authorized Participants nor have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they are unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from a Fund. Rather, most retail investors may purchase shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and are subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees.
The Funds each currently offer one class of shares, which have no front-end sales loads, no deferred sales charges, and no redemption fees. A fixed transaction fee is imposed for the transfer and other transaction costs associated with the purchase or sale of Creation Units.

determined to waive some or all of the costs associated with the order, or another party, such as the Adviser, has agreed to pay such fee. In addition, a variable fee payable to each Fund may be charged on all cash transactions or substitutes for Creation Units of up to a maximum of 2% in Vident International Equity Strategy ETFTM and Vident U.S. Equity Strategy ETFTM and up to a maximum of 3% in Vident U.S. Bond Strategy ETFTM as a percentage of the value of the Creation Units subject to the transaction.
Variable fees are imposed to compensate the Funds for the transaction costs associated with the cash transactions fees. Variable fees received by each Fund, if any, are displayed in the Capital Transactions sections of the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. Each Fund may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, with no par value. Shares of each Fund have equal rights and privileges.
NOTE 7 – RISKS
Sector Risk. To the extent a Fund invests more heavily in particular sectors of the economy, its performance will be especially sensitive to developments that significantly affect those sectors.
Russia/Ukraine Conflict Risk (Vident International Equity Strategy ETFTM Only). On February 24, 2022, Russia commenced a military attack on Ukraine. The outbreak of hostilities between the two countries could result in more widespread conflict and could have a severe adverse effect on the region and the markets. In addition, sanctions imposed on Russia by the United States and other countries, and any sanctions imposed in the future could have a significant adverse impact on the Russian economy and related markets. The price and liquidity of investments may fluctuate widely as a result of the conflict and related events. How long such conflict and related events will last and whether it will escalate further cannot be predicted, nor its effect on the Fund.
NOTE 8 – BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP
The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of 25% or more of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of a fund, under section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. As of the end of the current fiscal period, Blue Trust, Inc., as a beneficial shareholder, owned greater than 25% of the outstanding shares of each Fund.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders of Vident ETFs and
Board of Trustees of ETF Series Solutions
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of Vident International Equity Strategy ETF, Vident U.S. Bond Strategy ETF, and Vident U.S. Equity Strategy ETF (the “Funds”), each a series of ETF Series Solutions, as of August 31, 2025, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, 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 each of the Funds as of August 31, 2025, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.
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 procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2025, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We have served as the auditor of one or more of Vident Asset Management’s investment companies since 2013.

EX.99.CODE ETH

 

ETF Series Solutions

 

Code of Ethics

For Principal Executive Officer & Principal Financial Officer

 

I. Introduction/Covered Persons

ETF Series Solutions (the “Trust”) has been successful in large part by managing its business with honesty and integrity. The principal officers of the Trust have an important and elevated role in corporate governance and in promoting investor confidence. To further the ends of ethical and honest conduct among its officers, the Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees of the Trust has adopted this Code of Ethics. This Code of Ethics is designed to comply with Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley”) and the rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) thereunder. This Code of Ethics applies to the principal executive officer, principal financial officer, controller and other senior financial officers of the Trust, as may be identified from time to time by the Audit Committee (collectively, the “Covered Persons”).

 

The Audit Committee shall be responsible for the overall administration of this Code of Ethics, but has delegated to the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer (the “Chief Compliance Officer”) the responsibility to oversee the day-to-day operation of this Code of Ethics. This Code of Ethics is in addition to, not in replacement of, the Trust’s Code of Ethics for access persons (the “Investment Company Code of Ethics”), adopted pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). The Covered Persons may also be subject to the Investment Company Code of Ethics.

 

II. Code of Ethics Requirements

This Code of Ethics requires each Covered Person to:

1. Act with honesty and integrity, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

2. Provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports submitted to or filed with the SEC and in all other public communications made by the Trust;

3. Comply with laws, rules and regulations of the federal government, state governments and other regulatory agencies as they apply to the Trust;

4. Disclose promptly to the Chief Compliance Officer any violations of this Code of Ethics of which the Covered Person may become aware; and

5. Not retaliate against any other Covered Person or any employee of the Trust or their affiliated persons for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith.

 

III. Conflicts of Interest

A conflict of interest occurs when a Covered Person’s private interest interferes in any way—or even appears to interfere—with the interests of the Trust as a whole or with his or her service to the Trust. For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Person, or a member of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position with the Trust.

 

Certain conflicts of interest arise out of the relationships between Covered Persons and the Trust and already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act and the

   

 

Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Advisers Act”). For example, Covered Persons may not individually engage in certain transactions with the Trust (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property, except the Trust’s own fund shares) because of their status as “affiliated persons” of the Trust. The Trust’s and the investment adviser’s compliance programs and procedures are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of these provisions. This Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace these programs and procedures, and such conflicts fall outside of the parameters of this Code.

 

Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts may arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between the Trust and its investment adviser and/or administrator of which the Covered Persons are also officers or employees. As a result, this Code recognizes that the Covered Persons will, in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for the Trust or for the adviser and/or administrator, or for both), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on the adviser and/or administrator and the Trust. The participation of the Covered Persons in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between the Trust and its investment adviser and/or administrator and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Persons of their duties as officers of the Trust. Thus, if performed in conformity with the provisions of the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act, such activities will be deemed to have been handled ethically.

 

Other conflicts of interest are covered by the Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not subject to provisions in the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act. The following list provides examples of conflicts of interest under the Code, but Covered Persons should keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive. The overarching principle is that the personal interest of a Covered Person should not be placed improperly before the interest of the Trust.

 

Each Covered Person must:

• not use his or her personal influence or personal relationships improperly to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by the Trust whereby the Covered Person would benefit personally to the detriment of the Trust; and

• not cause the Trust to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit of the Covered Person rather than for the benefit of the Trust.

 

There are some conflict of interest situations that should be discussed with the Chief Compliance Officer if material. Examples of these include:

• any ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any of the Trust’s service providers, other than its investment adviser, principal underwriter, administrator or any affiliated person thereof; and

• a direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by the Trust for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other than an interest arising from the Covered Person’s employment, such as compensation or equity ownership.

   

 

IV. Accurate, Complete, Timely and Understandable Information

The Covered Persons are responsible for ensuring that Trust’s shareholders and the public receive financial and other information that is accurate, complete, timely and understandable. Covered Persons are obligated to comply with all laws and regulations governing the public disclosure of Trust information. All public statements, whether oral or written, must be understandable and accurate, with no material omissions.

 

The books and records of the Trust must be kept accurate and current to ensure that the public receives information that is full, fair, accurate, complete and timely. The Covered Persons must ensure that transactions are completely and accurately recorded on the Trust’s books and records in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Economic evaluations must fairly represent all information relevant to the evaluation being made. No secret or unrecorded cash funds or other assets may be established or maintained for any purpose. Each Covered Person shall also comply with the Trust’s disclosure controls and procedures and the Trust’s internal controls and procedures for financial reporting.

 

V. Waivers

The Audit Committee may grant a waiver from one or more provisions of this Code of Ethics upon the request of a Covered Person and after a review of the relevant facts and circumstances. The decision by the Audit Committee whether to grant a waiver from this Code of Ethics shall be final.

 

“Waiver” shall mean the approval of a material departure from a provision of this Code of Ethics. If an executive officer becomes aware of a material departure from a provision of this Code of Ethics by any Covered Person, he or she shall immediately report such violation to the Chief Compliance Officer or the Audit Committee, as appropriate. The Chief Compliance Officer shall promptly report the violation to the Audit Committee. If the Audit Committee fails to take action with respect to the violation within ten business days, the Trust shall be deemed to have made an “implicit waiver” from this Code of Ethics.

 

If a waiver from one or more provisions of Section II of this Code of Ethics is granted by the Audit Committee to any Covered Person, including an implicit waiver, the Audit Committee shall direct the Trust to (a) post a notice and description of the waiver on the each applicable Fund’s website within five business days following the waiver, including the name of the person to whom the Trust granted the waiver and the date of the waiver, maintain such notice on the website for at least 12 months, and retain such notice for a period of at least 6 years following the end of the fiscal year in which the waiver occurred; or (b) include a description of the waiver in the Trust’s next report on Form N-CSR relating to the applicable Fund. If the waiver will be disclosed via a Fund’s website, the Trust must have first disclosed in its most recent Form N-CSR relating to the applicable Fund that it intends to disclose these events on the Fund’s website and website’s address.

 

VI. Amendments

This Code of Ethics may be amended by the Audit Committee as it deems appropriate. If a provision of the Code of Ethics that applies to any Covered Person and that relates to one or more provisions of Section II of this Code is amended, the Audit Committee shall direct the applicable Fund to (a) post a notice and description of the amendment on the Fund’s website within five business days following the amendment, maintain such notice on the website for at least

   

 

12 months, and retain such notice for a period of at least 6 years following the end of the fiscal year in which the amendment occurred; or (b) include a description of the amendment in the Trust’s next report on Form N-CSR relating to the applicable Fund. If the amendment will be disclosed via a Fund’s website, the rules applicable to website postings of waivers, discussed in Section V above, apply. Technical, administrative or other non-substantive amendments to the Code of Ethics need not be disclosed.

 

VII. Violations

If the Audit Committee becomes aware of an actual or potential violation of this Code of Ethics, it shall direct an investigation into the facts and circumstances surrounding the violation. If a violation is found, the Audit Committee may impose on the Covered Person found to be in violation of this Code of Ethics any of a wide range of consequences as it deems appropriate, including warnings or letters of reprimand for less significant, first-time offenses, fines, reduced professional duties, suspension without pay and, in the most serious cases, termination.

 

VIII. Disclosure

The Audit Committee shall direct the Trust to make this Code of Ethics publicly available through one of the following three methods: (1) filing the Code as an exhibit to the Trust’s annual report on Form N-CSR relating to each Fund; (2) posting the text of the Code on the applicable Fund’s website, provided that the Fund has first disclosed the website’s address and intent to provide disclosure in this manner in its most report on Form N-CSR and provided further that the text of the Code remains on the applicable Fund’s website for as long as the Trust remains subject to the SEC’s rules promulgated under Section 406 of Sarbanes-Oxley ; or (3) providing an undertaking in its most recent report on Form N-CSR relating to each applicable Fund to provide a copy of the Code of Ethics to any person without charge upon request.

 

IX. Acknowledgement

Each Covered Person shall, in the form attached hereto as Appendix A, acknowledge receipt of and compliance with the Code of Ethics upon adoption of this Code of Ethics or when initially hired, whichever occurs later. Each Covered Person shall annually, in the form attached hereto as Appendix B, acknowledge receipt of and compliance with this Code of Ethics.

 

X. Confidentiality

All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code will be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or this Code or in the course of investigating any alleged violation of this Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the Board, its counsel, the Trust, its counsel, the investment adviser, and its counsel.

 

XI. Internal Use

The Code is intended solely for the internal use by the Trust and does not constitute an admission, by or on behalf of any Trust, as to any fact, circumstance, or legal conclusion.
