How did the Fund perform in the last year?
The Fund seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of the ROBO Global® Healthcare Technology and Innovation Index. The Fund had positive performance during the fiscal year ending on April 30, 2026. The Fund returned 24.45% while the VettaFi Full World Index, the Fund's primary broad-based index, gained 31.56%. The Fund's secondary benchmark, the S&P 500® Index, gained 31.05%.
Seven of the nine subsectors that the Fund invests in posted gains this past year, with the key driver of performance being Regenerative Medicine, which returned 123.97%. The positive numbers were largely driven by key regulatory approvals, breakthrough clinical trial data, and strong commercial sales growth from holdings like AxoGen (+165.52%), United Therapeutics (+88.51%), and Artivion (+51.25%), complemented by strong showings from companies such as Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals (+429.01%) and Exact Sciences (+129.86%) in other subsectors.
Challenges during the reporting period included impacts on subsectors like Data Analytics and Medical Instruments due to hospital capital expenditures tightening and elongated enterprise software sales cycles. These subsectors were further dragged down by specific operational hurdles such as supply chain constraints, product recalls, and delayed biopharma R&D spending, reflected in the notable declines of holdings such as Boston Scientific (-44.00%), Integra LifeSciences (-35.69%), and Veeva Systems (-33.26%).

Householding
Rule 30e-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, permits funds to transmit only one copy of a proxy statement, annual report or semi-annual report to shareholders (who need not be related) with the same residential, commercial or electronic address, provided that the shareholders have consented in writing and the reports are addressed either to each shareholder individually or to the shareholders as a group. This process is known as "householding" and is designed to reduce the duplicate copies of materials that shareholders receive and to lower printing and mailing costs for funds. Once implemented, if you would like to discontinue householding for your accounts, please call toll-free at 855-456-ROBO (7626) to request individual copies of these documents. Once the Fund receives notice to stop householding, we will begin sending individual copies 30 days after receiving your request.

How did the Fund perform in the last year?
The Fund seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of the ROBO Global® Robotics and Automation Index. The Fund had positive performance during the fiscal year ending on April 30, 2026. The Fund returned 58.93% while the VettaFi Full World Index, the Fund's primary broad-based index, gained 31.56%. The Fund's secondary benchmark, the S&P 500® Index, gained 31.05%.
The year saw strong performance across the robotics and automation ecosystem, with ten of the eleven subsectors positive, as the world again looks towards robotics solutions to solve problems from reshoring, to aging populations, and to general national security interests. Importantly, we are witnessing the dawn of the services robotics industry, which is beginning to create a flywheel effect of demand for industrial robotics as well.
The largest subsector, Manufacturing & Industrial Automation, saw multi-disciplinary growth with demand spikes across semiconductor, artificial intelligence servers, electronics, and general industrial activity with standout performance from Celestica (+359%), Teradyne (+366%), Coherent (+193%), Fuji Corp (+79.7%), and Daihen (+125.7%). In a related growth story, underlying technology subsector Actuation, supporting precision motion, lasers, energy, and more, also saw strong performance from companies like Delta Electronics (+564.5%), Nabtesco (+125.3%), Han's Laser (+370.6%), and IPG Photonics (+92.4%).

Householding
Rule 30e-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, permits funds to transmit only one copy of a proxy statement, annual report or semi-annual report to shareholders (who need not be related) with the same residential, commercial or electronic address, provided that the shareholders have consented in writing and the reports are addressed either to each shareholder individually or to the shareholders as a group. This process is known as "householding" and is designed to reduce the duplicate copies of materials that shareholders receive and to lower printing and mailing costs for funds. Once implemented, if you would like to discontinue householding for your accounts, please call toll-free at 855-456-ROBO (7626) to request individual copies of these documents. Once the Fund receives notice to stop householding, we will begin sending individual copies 30 days after receiving your request.

Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2026
1. ORGANIZATION
Exchange Traded Concepts Trust (the "Trust") is a Delaware statutory trust formed on July 17, 2009. The Trust is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") as an open-end management investment company with multiple investment portfolios. The financial statements herein are those of the ROBO Global® Healthcare Technology and Innovation ETF, the ROBO Global® Robotics and Automation Index ETF, and the ROBO Global® Artificial Intelligence ETF (each a "Fund", and together the "Funds"). The ROBO Global® Healthcare Technology and Innovation ETF seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of the ROBO Global® Healthcare Technology and Innovation Index. The ROBO Global® Robotics and Automation Index ETF seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of the ROBO Global® Robotics and Automation Index. The ROBO Global® Artificial Intelligence ETF seeks to provide investment results that, before fees and expenses, correspond generally to the price and yield performance of the ROBO Global® Artificial Intelligence Index. Exchange Traded Concepts, LLC (the "Adviser"), an Oklahoma limited liability company, serves as the investment adviser for each Fund. Each Fund is classified as "diversified" under the 1940 Act, except for ROBO Global® Artificial Intelligence ETF which is classified as "non-diversified" (see "Non-Diversification Risk" under Note 7). The ROBO Global® Healthcare Technology and Innovation ETF commenced operations on June 24, 2019, the ROBO Global® Robotics & Automation Index ETF commenced operations on October 21, 2013 and the ROBO Global® Artificial Intelligence ETF commenced operations on May 8, 2020.
Shares of the Funds are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the "Exchange"). Market prices for shares of a Fund may be different from their net asset value ("NAV"). The Funds issue and redeem shares on a continuous basis to certain institutional investors (typically market makers or other broker-dealers) at NAV only in large blocks of shares called "Creation Units." Creation Units are available for purchase and redemption on each business day and are offered and redeemed on an in-kind basis, together with a specified cash amount, or for an all cash amount. Once created, shares trade in a secondary market at market prices that change throughout the day in share amounts less than a Creation Unit.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Trust, are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") for investment companies. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP on the accrual basis of accounting. Management has reviewed Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies ("ASC 946"), and concluded that the Funds meet the criteria of an "investment company," and therefore, the Funds prepare their financial statements in accordance with investment company accounting as outlined in ASC 946.
Use of Estimates and Indemnifications - Each Fund is an investment company in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Therefore, the Funds follow the accounting and reporting guidelines for investment companies. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In the normal course of business, the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. Each Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements cannot be known; however, the Funds expect any risk of loss to be remote.
Segment Reporting - In accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, the Adviser reviewed each Fund in the Trust, evaluated its business activities and determined that each Fund operates as a single reportable operating segment. An operating segment is defined in Topic 280 as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly
16

Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2026 (Continued)
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
reviewed by the public entity's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. The CODM is comprised of the Co-Chief Executive Officers of the Adviser, and who are also officers of the Trust. The CODM has established various management committees to assist the CODM with overseeing aspects of the fund's daily operations and financial reporting. Through these committees, the CODM manages the fund's operations to achieve the investment objective, as detailed in its prospectus, through the execution of the fund's investment strategies. Each Fund's income, expenses, assets, changes in net assets resulting from operations and performance are regularly monitored and assessed as a whole by the CODM responsible for oversight functions of the Fund.
Security Valuation - The Funds record their investments at fair value. Securities listed on a securities exchange, market or automated quotation system for which quotations are readily available (except for securities traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market ("NASDAQ")), including securities traded over the counter, are valued at the last quoted sale price on the primary exchange or market (foreign or domestic) on which they are traded (or at approximately 4:00 pm Eastern Time if a security's primary exchange is normally open at that time), or, if there is no such reported sale, at the most recent quoted bid price for long positions and at the most recent quoted ask price for short positions. For securities traded on NASDAQ, the NASDAQ Official Closing Price will be used. If available, debt securities are priced based upon valuations provided by independent, third-party pricing agents. Such values generally reflect the last reported sales price if the security is actively traded.
The third-party pricing agents may also value debt securities at an evaluated bid price by employing methodologies that utilize actual market transactions, broker-supplied valuations, or other methodologies designed to identify the fair value for such securities. Debt obligations with remaining maturities of sixty days or less when acquired will be valued at their market value. If a market value is not available from a pricing vendor or from an independent broker, the security shall be fair valued according to the Trust's fair value procedures. Prices for most securities held in the Funds are provided daily by recognized independent pricing agents. If a security price cannot be obtained from an independent, third-party pricing agent, the Funds seek to obtain a bid price from at least one independent broker.
Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, establishes requirements to determine fair value in good faith for purposes of the 1940 Act. The rule permits fund boards to designate a fund's investment adviser to perform fair-value determinations, subject to board oversight and certain other conditions. The rule also defines when market quotations are "readily available" for purposes of the 1940 Act and requires a fund to fair value a portfolio investment when a market quotation is not readily available.
Pursuant to the requirements of Rule 2a-5, the Trust's Board of Trustees (the "Board") (i) has designated the Adviser as the Board's valuation designee to perform fair-value determinations for a Fund through the Adviser's Valuation Committee and (ii) approved the Adviser's Valuation Procedures.
Some of the more common reasons that may necessitate that a security be valued using fair value procedures include: the security's trading has been halted or suspended; the security has been de-listed from a national exchange; the security's primary trading market is temporarily closed at a time when, under normal conditions, it would be open; the security has not been traded for an extended period of time; the security's primary pricing source is not able or willing to provide a price; or trading of the security is subject to local government-imposed restrictions. In addition, a Fund may fair value its securities if an event that may materially affect the value of the Fund's securities that traded outside of the United States (a ''Significant Event'') has occurred between the time of the security's last close and the time that the Fund calculates its net asset value. A Significant Event may relate to a single issuer or to an entire market sector. Events that may be Significant Events include, but are not limited to, government actions, natural disasters, armed conflict, acts of terrorism and significant market fluctuations. If the Adviser becomes aware of a Significant Event that has occurred with respect to a security or group of securities after the closing of the exchange or market on which the security or securities principally trade, but before the time at which the Fund calculates its net asset value, it may request that a Committee meeting be called. When a security is valued in accordance with the fair value procedures, the Committee will determine the value after taking into consideration relevant information reasonably available to the Committee.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
In accordance with the authoritative guidance on fair value measurements and disclosure under U.S. GAAP, the Funds disclose fair value of its investments in a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value. The objective of a fair value measurement is to determine the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price). Accordingly, the fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
• Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access at the measurement date;
• Level 2 - Quoted prices which are not active, or inputs that are observable (either directly or indirectly) for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and
• Level 3 - Prices, inputs or proprietary modeling techniques which are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
The valuation techniques used by the Funds to measure fair value during the year ended April 30, 2026 maximized the use of observable inputs and minimized the use of unobservable inputs. Investments are classified within the level of the lowest significant input considered in determining fair value.
Federal Income Taxes - It is each Fund's intention to qualify as a regulated investment company for Federal income tax purposes by complying with the appropriate provisions of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Accordingly, no provisions for Federal income taxes have been made in the financial statements.
The Funds' policy is to classify interest and penalties associated with underpayment of federal and state income taxes, if any, as income tax expense on their Statements of Operations. As of April 30, 2026, the Funds did not have any interest or penalties associated with the underpayment of any income taxes. Current tax years remain open and subject to examination by tax jurisdictions. The Funds have reviewed all major jurisdictions and concluded that there is no impact on the Funds' net assets and no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax benefits relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on its tax returns.
Foreign Taxes - The Funds may be subject to taxes imposed by countries in which it invests. Such taxes are generally based on either income or gains earned or repatriated. The Funds accrue and apply such taxes to net investment income, net realized gains and net unrealized gains as income and/or capital gains earned.
Security Transactions and Investment Income - Security transactions are accounted for on trade date. Costs used in determining realized gains and losses on the sale of investment securities are based on specific identification. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis. Withholding taxes and reclaims on foreign dividends, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Funds' understanding of the applicable country's tax rules and rates.
Foreign Currency Translation - The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars on the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the relevant rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. The Funds do not isolate that portion of realized or unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in the foreign exchange rate from fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of the securities. These gains and losses are included in net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments on the Statements of Operations. Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net foreign exchange gains or losses from foreign currency exchange contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between the amount of the investment income and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds' books and the U.S. dollar equivalent amounts actually

The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes related to foreign income received, capital gain on the sale of securities and certain foreign currency transactions (a portion of which may be reclaimable). All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Funds invest.
Cash and Cash Equivalents - Idle cash may be swept into various overnight demand deposits and is classified as Cash and Cash equivalents on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, if any. The Funds maintain cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed United States federally insured limits. Amounts swept overnight are available on the next business day.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - Each Fund pays out dividends from its net investment income and distributes its net capital gains, if any, to investors at least annually. All distributions are recorded on ex-dividend date.
Creation Units - The Funds issue and redeem shares at NAV and only in Creation Units, or multiples thereof. Purchasers of Creation Units ("Authorized Participants") at NAV must pay a standard creation transaction fee, regardless of the number of Creation Units created in a given transaction. An Authorized Participant who holds Creation Units and wishes to redeem at NAV would also pay a standard minimum redemption transaction fee to the custodian on the date of such redemption, regardless of the number of Creation Units redeemed in a given transaction. The Funds may charge, either in lieu of or in addition to the fixed creation transaction fee, a variable fee for creations and redemptions in order to cover certain non-standard brokerage, tax, foreign exchange, execution, market impact and other costs and expenses related to the execution of trades resulting from such transactions. In all cases, such fees will be limited in accordance with the requirements of the Commission applicable to management investment companies offering redeemable securities.
The Adviser may retain all or a portion of the transaction fee to the extent the Adviser bears the expenses that otherwise would be borne by the Trust in connection with the purchase or redemption of a Creation Unit, which the transaction fee is designed to cover.
Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares are not redeemable securities of the Funds. Shares of the Funds may only be purchased or redeemed by certain 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 ("DTC") participant and, in each case, must have executed an Authorized Participant Agreement with the Funds' distributor. Most retail investors will not qualify as Authorized Participants or have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they will be unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from the Funds. Rather, most retail investors will purchase and sell shares in the secondary market with the assistance of a broker and will be subject to customary brokerage commissions or fees.
To the extent contemplated by an Authorized Participant Agreement, in the event an Authorized Participant has submitted a redemption request in proper form but is unable to transfer all or part of the shares comprising a Creation Unit to be redeemed to SEI Investments Distribution Co. (the "Distributor"), on behalf of a Fund, by the time as set forth in the Authorized Participant Agreement, the Distributor may nonetheless accept the redemption request in reliance on the undertaking by the Authorized Participant to deliver the missing shares as soon as possible, which undertaking shall be secured by the Authorized Participant's delivery and maintenance of collateral equal to a percentage of the value of the missing shares as specified in the Authorized Participant Agreement. An Authorized Participant Agreement may permit a Fund to use such collateral to purchase the missing shares, and could subject an Authorized Participant to liability for any shortfall between the cost of a Fund acquiring such shares and the value of the collateral. Amounts are disclosed as Segregated Cash Balance from Authorized Participants for Deposit Securities and Collateral Payable upon Return of Deposit Securities on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities, when applicable.

The amount and character of income and capital gain distributions to be paid, if any, are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. As a result, net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period. These book/tax differences may be temporary or permanent. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature; they are charged or credited to paid-in capital or total distributable earnings (accumulated losses), as appropriate, in the period that the differences arise.

6. PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUNDS
As with all exchange traded funds ("ETFs"), each shareholder of a Fund is subject to the risk that his or her investment could lose money. The Funds are subject to the principal risks noted below, any of which may adversely affect a Fund's NAV, trading price, yield, total return and ability to meet its investment objective. Risk information is applicable to each Fund unless otherwise noted. Additional principal risks are disclosed in the Funds' prospectus. Please refer to the Funds' prospectus for a complete description of the principal risks of investing in a Fund.
Currency Exchange Rate Risk: To the extent each Fund invests in securities denominated in non-U.S. currencies, changes in currency exchange rates and the relative value of non-U.S. currencies will affect the value of the Funds' investment and the value of your shares. Because each Funds NAV is determined in U.S. dollars, the Fund's NAV could decline if the currency of the non-U.S. market in which each Fund invests depreciates against the U.S. dollar,
23
ROBO Global®
Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2026 (Continued)
6. PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUNDS (Continued)
even if the value of the Fund's holdings, measured in the foreign currency, increases. Currency exchange rates can be very volatile and can change quickly and unpredictably. As a result, the value of an investment in a Fund may change quickly and without warning and you may lose money.
Foreign Securities Risk: Investments in non-U.S. securities involve certain risks that may not be present with investments in U.S. securities. For example, investments in non-U.S. securities may be subject to risk of loss due to foreign currency fluctuations or to expropriation, nationalization or adverse political or economic developments. Foreign securities may have relatively low market liquidity and decreased publicly available information about issuers. Investments in non-U.S. securities also may be subject to withholding or other taxes and may be subject to additional trading, settlement, custodial, and operational risks. Non-U.S. issuers may also be subject to inconsistent and potentially less stringent accounting, auditing, financial reporting and investor protection standards than U.S. issuers. These and other factors can make investments in each Fund more volatile and potentially less liquid than other types of investments. In addition, where all or a portion of the Funds' portfolio holdings trade in markets that are closed when the Funds' market is open, there may be valuation differences that could lead to differences between each Fund's market price and the value of its portfolio holdings.
Geographic Investment Risk: To the extent each Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in the securities of companies of a single country or region, it is more likely to be impacted by events or conditions affecting that country or region.
Market Risk: The market price of an investment could decline, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably, due to general market conditions that are not specifically related to a particular company, such as real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions throughout the world, changes in the general outlook for corporate earnings, changes in interest or currency rates, or adverse investor sentiment generally. The market value of an investment also may decline because of factors that affect a particular industry or industries such as labor shortages, increased production costs, and competitive conditions. Local, regional, or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the market generally and on specific investments. For example, in recent years, the COVID-19 pandemic, the large expansion of government deficits and debt as a result of government actions to mitigate the effects of the pandemic, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and the rise of inflation have resulted in extreme volatility in the global economy and in global financial markets. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected. As a result, whether or not the Fund invests in securities of issuers located in or with significant exposure to countries experiencing economic and financial difficulties, the value and liquidity of the Fund's investments may be negatively affected.
Non-DiversificationRisk: (ROBO Global® Artificial Intelligence ETF only) The Fund is non-diversified under the 1940 Act, meaning that, as compared to a diversified fund, it can invest a greater percentage of its assets in securities issued by or representing a small number of issuers. As a result, the performance of these issuers can have a substantial impact on the Fund's performance.
Sector Focus Risk: Each Fund may invest a significant portion of its assets in one or more sectors and thus will be more susceptible to the risks affecting those sectors. While each Fund's sector exposure is expected to vary over time based on the composition of the Index, each Fund anticipates that it may be subject to some or all of the risks described below. The list below is not a comprehensive list of the sectors to which each Fund may have exposure over time and should not be relied on as such.
Health Care Sector Risk: (ROBO Global® Healthcare Technology and Innovation ETF only) Companies in the health care sector are subject to extensive government regulation and their profitability can be significantly affected by restrictions on government reimbursement for medical expenses, rising costs of medical products and services, pricing pressure (including price discounting), limited product lines and an increased emphasis on the delivery of healthcare through outpatient services. Companies in the health care sector are heavily dependent on obtaining and defending patents, which may be time consuming and costly, and the expiration of patents may also adversely affect the profitability of these companies. Health care companies are also
24
ROBO Global®
Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2026 (Continued)
6. PRINCIPAL RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE FUNDS (Concluded)
subject to extensive litigation based on product liability and similar claims. In addition, their products can become obsolete due to industry innovation, changes in technologies or other market developments. Many new products in the health care sector require significant research and development and may be subject to regulatory approvals, all of which may be time consuming and costly with no guarantee that any product will come to market.
Industrials Sector Risk: (ROBO Global® Robotics and Automation Index ETF only) Stock prices for industrials companies are affected by supply and demand both for their specific product or service and for industrials sector products in general. Government regulation, world events, exchange rates and economic conditions, technological developments and liabilities for environmental damage and general civil liabilities will likewise affect the performance of these companies.
Information Technology Sector Risk: (ROBO Global® Robotics and Automation Index ETF and ROBO Global® Artificial Intelligence ETF only) The Fund is subject to the risk that market or economic factors impacting information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology advances could have a major effect on the value of the Fund's investments. The value of stocks of information technology companies and companies that rely heavily on technology is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence, government regulation and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from foreign competitors with lower production costs.
7. SECURITIES LENDING
Each Fund has entered into a Securities Lending Agreement with the Bank of New York Mellon (the "Lending Agent") to lend portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and other financial organizations that meet capital and other credit requirements or other criteria established by the Trust's Board. These loans, if and when made, may not exceed 33 1/3% of the total asset value of a Fund (including the loan collateral). The Funds will not lend portfolio securities to the Adviser or its affiliates unless permissible under the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. Loans of portfolio securities will be fully collateralized by cash, letters of credit or U.S. government securities, and the collateral will be maintained in an amount equal to at least 102% of the value of domestic equity securities and American Depositary Receipts and 105% of the value of foreign equity securities (other than ADRs). However, due to market fluctuations during the day, the value of securities loaned on a particular day may, during the course of the day, exceed the value of collateral. On each business day, the amount of collateral is adjusted based on the prior day's market fluctuations and the current day's lending activity. Income from lending activity is determined by the amount of interest earned on collateral, less any amounts payable to the borrowers of the securities and the lending agent. Lending securities involves certain risks, including the risk that the Funds may be delayed or restricted from recovering the loaned securities or disposing of the collateral for the loan, which could give rise to loss because at adverse market actions expenses and/or delays in connection with the disposition of the underlying securities. Any gain or loss in the market price of the securities loaned and income from lending activity by a Fund that might occur during the term of the loan would be for the account of the Fund. For financial statement purposes, the Funds record the securities lending collateral as an asset and the obligation to return securities lending collateral as a liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
Cash collateral received in connection with securities lending is invested in short-term investments by the lending agent. The Funds do not have effective control of the non-cash collateral and therefore it is not disclosed in the Fund's Schedules of Investments, if any.

7. SECURITIES LENDING (Concluded)
Securities lending transactions are entered into by the Funds under the Securities Lending Agreement, which permits a Fund, under certain circumstances such as an event of default, to offset amounts payable by the Fund to the same counterparty against amounts receivable from the counterparty to create a net payment due to or from the Fund.
The following is a summary of securities lending agreements held by the Funds, with cash collateral of overnight maturities and non-cash collateral, which would be subject to offset as of April 30, 2026:

9. RECENT MARKET EVENTS
Local, regional, or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on the market generally and on specific securities. Periods of market volatility may occur in response to such events and other economic, political, and global macro factors.
Governments and central banks, including the Federal Reserve in the United States, took extraordinary and unprecedented actions to support local and global economies and the financial markets in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including by keeping interest rates at historically low levels for an extended period. The Federal Reserve concluded its market support activities in 2022 and raised interest rates in an effort to fight inflation. The Federal Reserve has begun to lower interest rates and may continue to do so in the future. Trade disputes and the imposition of tariffs, along with other matters, may negatively impact the economies of the United States and its trading partners, as well as the financial markets as a whole. This and other government intervention into the economy and financial markets to address significant events in the future may not work as intended, particularly if the efforts are perceived by investors as being unlikely to achieve the desired results.
10. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The Funds have evaluated the need for additional disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued. Based on this evaluation, no additional disclosures and/or adjustments were required to the financial statements.

Board of Trustees of Exchange Traded Concepts Trust
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the schedules of investments, of ROBO Global® Healthcare Technology and Innovation ETF, ROBO Global® Robotics and Automation Index ETF, and ROBO Global® Artificial Intelligence ETF (the "Funds"), each a series of Exchange Traded Concepts Trust, as of April 30, 2026, 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 April 30, 2026, 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 audit 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 April 30, 2026, 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 investment companies advised by Exchange Traded Concepts, LLC since 2012.
