Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
Summary of Results
The Fund outperformed the Standard & Poor's 500 Index ("S&P 500" or the "Index") for the period. The Fund delivered a total return of 16.37%, versus a 6.03% return for the S&P 500. The Fund invests principally in common stocks issued by large companies with market capitalizations of at least $10 billion. The Fund is non-diversified and, therefore, allowed to focus its investments in fewer companies than a fund that is required to diversify its portfolio. The Fund continues to invest a significant portion of its assets in financial services companies.

DAVIS FUNDAMENTAL ETF TRUST
Notes to Financial Statements
April 30, 2026 (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Davis Fundamental ETF Trust ("Trust") was organized on March 18, 2016 as a Delaware business trust and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act"), as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Trust follows the reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies. The Trust consists of four series of funds: Davis Select U.S. Equity ETF, Davis Select Financial ETF, Davis Select Worldwide ETF, and Davis Select International ETF (individually referred to as a "Fund" or collectively as the "Funds"). Each series of the Trust represents shares of beneficial interest in a separate portfolio of securities and other assets, with its own objective and policies. Davis Select U.S. Equity ETF and Davis Select Financial ETF are non-diversified and Davis Select Worldwide ETF and Davis Select International ETF are diversified under the 1940 Act. Each Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund ("ETF").
Davis Select U.S. Equity ETF seeks to achieve long-term capital growth and capital preservation. It invests primarily in common stocks of large companies (generally, companies with market capitalizations of $10 billion or more at the time of initial purchase).
Davis Select Financial ETF seeks to achieve long-term growth of capital. It invests at least 80% of the Fund's net assets in securities issued by companies principally engaged in the financial services sector.
Davis Select Worldwide ETF seeks to achieve long-term growth of capital. It invests principally in common stocks issued by both United States and foreign companies, including countries with developed or emerging markets.
Davis Select International ETF seeks to achieve long-term growth of capital. It invests principally in common stocks issued by foreign companies, including countries with developed or emerging markets.
Because of the risk inherent in any investment program, the Trust cannot ensure that the investment objective of its series will be achieved. The Funds account separately for the assets, liabilities, and operations of each Fund. The assets of each Fund are segregated, and a shareholder's interest is limited to the Fund in which shares are held. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements.
Security Valuation - The Funds' Board of Trustees has designated Davis Selected Advisers, L.P. ("Davis Advisors" or "Adviser"), the Funds' investment adviser, as the valuation designee for the Funds. The Adviser has established a Pricing Committee to carry out the day-to-day valuation activities for the Funds. The Funds calculate the net asset value of their shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("Exchange"), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for business. Securities listed on the Exchange (and other national exchanges including NASDAQ) are valued at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation. Listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at the last quoted bid price. Securities traded on foreign exchanges are valued based upon the last sales price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded prior to the time when the Funds' assets are valued. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available or securities whose values have been materially affected by what the Adviser identifies as a significant event occurring before the Funds' assets are valued, but after the close of their respective exchanges, will be fair valued using a fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant event as previously approved by the Pricing Committee. The Pricing Committee considers all facts it deems relevant that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Adviser's portfolio management team, when determining the fair value of a security. To assess the appropriateness of security valuations, the Pricing Committee may consider (i) comparing prior day prices and/or prices of comparable securities; (ii) comparing sale prices to the prior or current day prices and challenge those prices exceeding certain tolerance levels with the third-party pricing service or broker source; (iii) new rounds of financing; (iv) the performance of the market or the issuer's industry; (v) the liquidity of the security; (vi) the size of the holding in a fund; and/or (vii) any other appropriate information. The determination of a security's fair value price often involves the consideration of a number of subjective factors and is therefore subject to the unavoidable risk that the value assigned to a security may be higher or lower than the security's value would be if a reliable market quotation for the security was readily available.
Short-term investments purchased within 60 days to maturity and of sufficient credit quality are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

DAVIS FUNDAMENTAL ETF TRUST
Notes to Financial Statements - (Continued)
April 30, 2026 (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (CONTINUED) Security Valuation - (Continued)
On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports of valuation actions taken by the Pricing Committee. On at least an annual basis, the Board of Trustees receives an assessment of the adequacy and effectiveness of the Adviser's process for determining the fair value of the Funds' investments.
Fair Value Measurements - Fair value is defined as the price that the Funds would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal market for the investment. Various inputs are used to determine the fair value of the Funds' investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.
Level 1 −
quoted prices in active markets for identical securities
Level 2 −
other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
Level 3 −
significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities nor can it be assured that the Funds can obtain the fair value assigned to a security if they were to sell the security.
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of April 30, 2026 in valuing each Fund's investments carried at value:

Includes certain securities trading primarily outside the U.S. whose value the Fund adjusted as a result of significant market movements following the close of
local trading.
|
Repurchase Agreements - Repurchase agreements are transactions under which a Fund purchases a security from a dealer counterparty and agrees to resell the security to that counterparty on a specified future date at the same price, plus a specified interest rate. The Fund's repurchase agreements are secured by U.S. government or agency securities. It is the Fund's policy that its regular custodian or third party custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the fair value of which
11
DAVIS FUNDAMENTAL ETF TRUST
Notes to Financial Statements - (Continued)

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (CONTINUED) Repurchase Agreements - (Continued)
exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest, at all times. In the event of default by the counterparty, the Fund has the contractual right to liquidate the collateral securities and to apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation.
Currency Translation - The fair values of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recorded in the financial statements after translation to United States Dollar ("USD") on the date of valuation using exchange rates determined as of the close of trading on the Exchange. The cost basis of such assets and liabilities is determined based upon historical exchange rates. Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect as accrued or incurred.
Foreign Currency - The Funds may enter into forward purchases or sales of foreign currencies to hedge certain foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities against declines in fair value relative to USD. Forward currency contracts are marked-to-market daily and the change in fair value is recorded by the Funds as an unrealized gain or loss. When the forward currency contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the forward currency contract at the time it was opened and value at the time it was closed. Investments in forward currency contracts may expose the Funds to risks resulting from unanticipated movements in foreign currency exchange rates or failure of the counter-party to the agreement to perform in accordance with the terms of the contract. During the six months ended April 30, 2026, there were no forward currency contracts entered into by the Funds.
Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from the sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on security transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds' books, and the USD equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. The Funds include foreign currency gains and losses realized on the sales of investments together with market gains and losses on such investments in the Statements of Operations. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities resulting from changes in the exchange rate and are included within net unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Statements of Operations.
Federal Income Taxes - It is each Fund's policy to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments not offset by loss carryovers, to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income or excise tax is required. The Adviser analyzed the Funds' tax positions taken on federal and state income tax returns for all open tax years and concluded that as of April 30, 2026, no provision for income tax is required in the Funds' financial statements related to these tax positions. The Funds' federal and state (Arizona) income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state Department of Revenue. The earliest tax year that remains subject to examination by these jurisdictions is 2022.
Capital losses will be carried forward to future years if not offset by gains. At October 31, 2025, the Funds had available for federal income tax purposes unused capital loss carryforwards with no expiration as follows:

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU requires public entities, on an annual basis, to provide income tax disclosures, including income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. This ASU also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Management has determined that there is no material impact of the ASU on the Funds' financial statements.
Federal Withholding Taxes - The Funds are subject to foreign withholding tax imposed by certain foreign countries in which the Funds may invest. Withholding taxes are incurred on certain foreign dividends and are accrued at the time the dividend is recognized based on applicable foreign tax laws. The Funds may file withholding tax refunds in certain jurisdictions to seek to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. The Funds will record a receivable for such tax refunds based on several factors including an assessment of a jurisdiction's legal obligation to pay reclaims, administrative practices, and payment history. Any receivables recorded will be included under dividends and interest on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. There is no guarantee that the Funds will receive refunds applied for in a timely manner or at all.
As a result of court rulings in certain countries across the European Union, tax refunds for previously withheld taxes on dividends earned in those countries have been received by investment companies. Any tax refund payments are reflected as foreign withholding tax refunds in the Statements of Operations. The Funds may incur fees paid to third party providers that assist in the recovery of the tax refunds. These fees are reflected on the Statements of Operations under tax service fees, if any.
Securities Transactions and Related Investment Income - Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed) with realized gain or loss on the sale of securities being determined based upon identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, which includes accretion of discount and amortization of premium, is accrued as earned.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses), and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments, collectively "Distributable earnings (losses)", may differ for financial statement and tax purposes primarily due to permanent and temporary differences which may include wash sales, foreign currency transactions, corporate actions, in-kind transactions, and passive foreign investment company shares. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income and net realized securities gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to the timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which income or realized gain was recorded by the Funds. The Funds adjust certain components of capital to reflect permanent differences between financial statement amounts and net income and realized gains/losses determined in accordance with income tax rules.
Indemnification - Under the Funds' organizational documents, their officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, some of the Funds' contracts with their service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds' maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Funds cannot be determined and the Funds have no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.
Use of Estimates in Financial Statements - In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
13
DAVIS FUNDAMENTAL ETF TRUST
Notes to Financial Statements - (Continued)
April 30, 2026 (Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - (CONTINUED) Use of Estimates in Financial Statements - (Continued)
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 income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Operating Segments - The Funds follow the FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting ("Topic 280") - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"). The standard impacts financial statement disclosures only and does not affect each Fund's financial position or the results of its operations. 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 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 Principal Executive Officer of the Funds acts as the CODM. Since their commencement, each Fund operates as a single segment. The CODM monitors the operating results of the Funds, as a whole, and each Fund's long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined in accordance with the terms of its prospectus, based on a defined investment strategy which is executed by each Fund's portfolio managers as a team. The financial information, in the form of each Fund's portfolio composition, total returns, expense ratios and changes in net assets (i.e., changes in net assets resulting from operations, subscriptions and redemptions) are used by the CODM to assess the segment's performance versus each Fund's comparative benchmarks and to make resource allocation decisions for each Fund's single segment, which is consistent with that presented within each Fund's financial statements. Segment assets are reflected on the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities as "total assets" and significant segment expenses are listed on the accompanying Statements of Operations.

Investment activities of this shareholder could have a material impact on the Funds.
Investment Advisory Fees and Reimbursement/Waiver of Expenses - Advisory fees are paid monthly to the Adviser and amounts due from Adviser, if applicable, will be generally paid in the month after finalization of the financial statements. The annual rate for each Fund is 0.55% of the average net assets. The Adviser is contractually committed to waive fees and/or reimburse the Funds' expenses to the extent necessary to cap total annual fund operating expenses (Davis Select U.S. Equity ETF, 0.65%; Davis Select Financial ETF, 0.65%; Davis Select Worldwide ETF, 0.65%; Davis Select International ETF, 0.75%). The Adviser is obligated to continue the expense cap through March 1, 2027. The expense cap cannot be modified prior to this date without the consent of the Board of Trustees. After that date, there is no assurance that the Adviser will continue to cap expenses. For purposes of the expense cap, operating expenses do not include foreign tax reclaim filing expenses. The Adviser may not recoup any of the operating expenses it has reimbursed to the Funds.
Accounting, Custodian, and Transfer Agent Fees - State Street Bank and Trust Company serves as the Funds' primary accounting provider, custodian, and transfer agent.
Distributor - Foreside Fund Services, LLC ("Distributor") serves as the Funds' distributor. The Funds pay no fees directly to the Distributor.
NOTE 4 - CAPITAL STOCK
As of April 30, 2026, there were an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest without par value authorized by the Trust. Individual shares of a Fund are listed on a national securities exchange through a broker-dealer. Such transactions may be subject to customary commission rates imposed by the broker-dealer. The price of Fund shares is based on the market price, and because ETF shares trade at a market price rather than at NAV, shares may trade at a price greater than NAV (a premium) or less than NAV (a discount).
The Funds will only issue or redeem shares that have been aggregated into blocks of 25,000 shares (effective March 10, 2025; this figure was 50,000 shares through March 9, 2025) or multiples thereof ("Creation Units") to broker-dealers that have entered into a participation agreement with the Distributor ("Authorized Participants"). The Funds generally will issue or redeem Creation Units in return for a designated portfolio of securities (and an amount of cash) the Fund specifies each day. Authorized Participants purchasing and redeeming Creation Units may be charged a transaction fee to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units.

Per share calculations were based on average shares outstanding for the period.
|
|
b
|
Net asset value total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at the net asset value at the beginning of the period, with all dividends and
distributions reinvested in additional shares on the reinvestment date, and redemption at the net asset value calculated on the last business day of the fiscal
period. Market price total return is calculated assuming an initial investment made at the market price at the beginning of the period, with all dividends
and distributions reinvested in additional shares on the reinvestment date, and sale at the market price calculated on the last business day of
the fiscal period. Market price is determined by trading that occurs on the Cboe Global Markets, Inc., and may be greater or less than net asset value,
depending on the 4:00 P.M. EST official closing price of the Fund. Until December 2020, market price was determined using the midpoint of the bid-ask
prices. Total returns are not annualized for periods of less than one year.
