WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE FOR THE PERIOD?
PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
For the 12-month period ended May 31, 2026, the Fund returned 10.54% versus 43.08% for the Russell 2000 Total Return Index, underperforming by 3254 basis points net of fees. The Fund invests in high-quality small cap companies that meet the Sub-Adviser’s strict criteria of an enduring business driven by deep dive fundamental research. In addition to portfolio specific headwinds outlined below, the stock market’s preference for lower quality stocks starting at the Liberation Day lows in April 2025 was an additional headwind for the Fund.
TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
The Fund’s allocation to specific sectors was driven by stock selection.

Spectacular's pricing headroom, sports-driven ancillary revenues, and real estate/asset monetization optionality — all underpinned by secular tailwinds in live entertainment demand.
TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
Underperformance was driven by negative stock selection effects in the Technology, Industrials, and Financials sectors.
Technology - Negative sentiment and AI displacement fears pressured the software industry and our positions in Descartes Systems felt the effects despite robust financial performance. In addition, our lack of exposure to the semiconductor capital equipment industry that benefited from AI related demand was a headwind.
Industrials – U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (“DOGE”) initiatives pressured the consulting industry, and the Fund’s position in CBIZ was a detriment. In addition, the Fund did not hold a position in the AI-momentum exposed Bloom Energy Corporation, which was the top contributor to Russell 2000 performance.
Financials – Hamilton Lane, Houlihan Lokey, and other alternative managers faced several headwinds, including concerns on private credit exposure.

WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE FOR THE PERIOD?
Performance Summary
For the 12-month period ended May 31, 2026, the Fund returned 19.74% versus 29.45% for the Russell 3000 Total Return Index, underperforming by 971 basis points net of fees. The Fund invests in high-quality large cap companies that meet the Sub-Adviser’s strict criteria of an enduring business driven by alignment between a positive quantitative score generated by the Argent Alpha Model and deep dive fundamental research. In addition to portfolio specific headwinds outlined below, the stock market’s preference for lower quality stocks starting at the Liberation Day lows in April 2025 was an additional headwind for the Fund.
Top Performance Contributors
Positive attribution was led by stock selection in the Communication Services sector. Over the period, Alphabet Inc. (parent company to Google) transitioned from a perceived AI loser to a winner as fundamental performance affirmed its position in the demand cycle.

Allocation effects contributed positively from underweighting traditionally defensive sectors that underperformed, including Consumer Staples, Real Estate, and Utilities.
Top Performance Detractors
Nearly all the underperformance in the period was due to stock selection effects in three sectors:
Industrials – Aerospace and defense holding, TransDigm Group, faced concerns about its aftermarket growth deceleration, margin cadence, and valuation relative to its engine-exposed peers.
Technology – Software fell victim to AI obsolescence fears, and the Fund’s positions in ServiceNow and Tyler Technologies were pressured despite stable fundamental performance.
Financials – Mastercard and Visa faced AI-displacement fears that pressured shares, Blackstone and other alternative managers fell on concerns over private credit exposure, and insurer Progressive faced a softening pricing environment and increased competition.

WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE FOR THE PERIOD?
Performance Summary
For the 12-month period ended May 31, 2026, the Fund returned 7.51% versus 22.37% for the Russell Midcap Total Return Index, underperforming by 1,486 basis points net of fees. The Fund invests in mid cap companies that meet the Sub-Adviser’s strict criteria of an enduring business with alignment between a positive quantitative score generated by the Argent Alpha Model and deep dive fundamental research. In addition to portfolio specific headwinds outlined below, the stock market’s preference for lower quality stocks starting at the Liberation Day lows in April 2025 was an additional headwind for the Fund.
Top Performance Contributors
Our allocation to specific sectors is driven by stock selection. Allocation effects were positive for the period primarily due to the overweight in the Technology sector and underweight in traditionally defensive sectors that underperformed, including Consumer Staples, Real Estate, and Utilities. From a stock selection perspective, Comfort Systems USA in the Consumer Discretionary sector was a top contributor, supported by surging demand for equipment needed to support the artificial intelligence buildout.

Top Performance Detractors
Our allocation to specific sectors is driven by stock selection. Underperformance was driven by negative stock selection effects in the Technology sector and to a lesser extent, the Financials sector.
Technology – Negative sentiment and AI displacement fears pressured the software industry and our positions in Tyler Technologies, Manhattan Associates, and Descartes Systems Group felt the effects despite robust financial performance.
Financials – LPL Financial and other brokerage platforms faced AI-displacement fears, while Houlihan Lokey and other alternative managers faced several headwinds, including concerns on private credit exposure.

The Trust is registered with the 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 (“Shares”) is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Each Fund qualifies as an investment company as defined in the Financial Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946-Financial Services-Investment Companies. See each Fund’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information regarding the risks of investing in Shares of each Fund.

As part of ALIL’s commencement of operations on April 8, 2025, ALIL received an in-kind contribution from an account managed by the Sub-Adviser, which consisted of $3,472,047 of securities which were recorded at their current value to align ALIL’s performance with ongoing financial reporting. However, as the transaction was determined to be a non-taxable transaction by management, ALIL elected to retain the securities’ original cost basis for tax purposes. The cost of the contributed securities as of April 8, 2025, was $3,037,635, resulting in net unrealized appreciation on investments of $434,412 as of that date. As a result of the in-kind contribution, ALIL issued 139,000 shares at a $24.98 per share net asset value.

As part of ABIG’s commencement of operations on April 8, 2025, ABIG received an in-kind contribution from an account managed by the Sub-Adviser, which consisted of securities $6,597,919 which were recorded at their current value to align ABIG’s performance with ongoing financial reporting. However, as the transaction was determined to be a non-taxable transaction by management, ABIG elected to retain the securities’ original cost basis for tax purposes. The cost of the contributed securities as of April 8, 2025, was $4,551,869, resulting in net unrealized appreciation on investments of $2,046,050 as of that date. As a result of the in-kind contribution, ABIG issued 264,000 shares at a $24.99 per share net asset value.

As part of AMID’s commencement of operations on August 16, 2022, AMID received an in-kind contribution from accounts managed by the Sub-Adviser, which consisted of $16,354,962 of securities which were recorded at their current value to align AMID’s performance with ongoing financial reporting. However, as the transaction was determined to be a non-taxable transaction by management, AMID elected to retain the securities’ original cost basis for tax purposes. The cost of the contributed securities as of August 16, 2022, was $12,686,927, resulting in net unrealized appreciation on investments of $3,668,035 as of that date. As a result of the in-kind contribution, AMID issued 654,000 shares at a $25.01 per share net asset value.

Market prices for the shares may be different from their net asset value (“NAV”). Each Fund issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in blocks of shares, 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 in share amounts less than a Creation Unit. 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 financial institutions (“Authorized Participants”). An Authorized Participant is a participant of a clearing agency registered with the SEC, which has a written agreement with the Trust or one of its service providers that allows the authorized participant to place orders for the purchase and redemption of creation units. 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 the 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.
Authorized Participants may be required to pay a transaction fee to compensate the Trust or its custodian for costs incurred in connection with creation and redemption transactions. Certain transactions consisting all or partially of cash may also be subject to a variable charge, which is payable to the relevant Fund, of up to 2.00% of the value of the order in addition to the transaction fee. The Funds may determine to waive the variable charge on certain orders when such waiver is determined to be in the best interests of Fund shareholders. Transaction fees received by a particular Fund, if any, are displayed in the Capital Share Transactions sections of the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
The end of the reporting period for each Fund is May 31, 2026, and the period covered by these Notes to Financial Statements is from June 1, 2025 to May 31, 2026 (the “Current Fiscal Period”).

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

A.Security Valuation. Equity securities that are traded on a national securities exchange, except those listed on the NASDAQ Global Market® (“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 most recent quoted bid for exchange-traded or the mean between the most recent quoted bid and ask price for NASDAQ securities will be used. Equity securities that are not traded on a listed exchange are generally 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. Redeemable securities issued by open-end investment companies are valued at the investment company’s applicable net asset value, with the exception of exchange-traded open-end investment companies which are priced as equity securities. Fair values for debt securities, including asset-backed securities (“ABS”), collateralized loan obligations (“CLO”), collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMO”), corporate obligations, whole loans, and mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) are normally determined on the basis of valuations provided by independent pricing services. Vendors typically value such securities based on one or more inputs, including but not limited to, benchmark yields, transactions, bids, offers, quotations from dealers and trading systems, new issues, spreads and other relationships observed in the markets among comparable securities; and pricing models such as yield measurers calculated using factors such as cash flows, financial or collateral performance and other reference data. In addition to these inputs, MBS and ABS may utilize cash flows, prepayment information, default rates, delinquency and loss assumptions, collateral characteristics, credit enhancements and specific deal information. Reverse repurchase agreements are priced at their acquisition cost, and assessed for credit adjustments, which represents fair value. Futures contracts are carried at fair value using the primary exchange’s closing (settlement) price.

Subject to its oversight, the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) has delegated primary responsibility for determining or causing to be determined the value of the Fund’s investments to Empowered Funds, LLC dba EA Advisers (the “Adviser”), pursuant to the Trust’s valuation policy and procedures, which have been adopted by the Trust and approved by the Board. In accordance with Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board designated the Adviser as the “valuation designee” of each Fund. If the Adviser, as valuation designee, determines that reliable market quotations are not readily available for an investment, the investment is valued at fair value as determined in

9



ARGENT ETFs

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
May 31, 2026
good faith by the Adviser in accordance with the Trust’s fair valuation policy and procedures. The Adviser will provide the Board with periodic reports, no less frequently than quarterly, that discuss the functioning of the valuation process, if applicable, and that identify issues and valuation problems that have arisen, if any. As appropriate, the Adviser and the Board will review any securities valued by the Adviser in accordance with the Trust’s valuation policies during these periodic reports. The use of fair value pricing by each Fund may cause the net asset value of its shares to differ significantly from the net asset value that would be calculated without regard to such considerations. As of the Current Fiscal Period end, the Funds did not hold any securities that required fair valuation due to unobservable inputs.

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

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access.

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

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

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

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

The following is a summary of the fair value classification of the Funds’ investments as of the Current Fiscal Period end:

Refer to the Schedule of Investments for further disaggregation of investment categories.

During the Current Fiscal Period, the Funds did not invest in any Level 3 investments and recognized no transfers to/from Level 3. Transfers between levels are recognized at the end of the reporting period.

B.Foreign Currency. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts using the spot rate of exchange 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 isolate the 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. That portion of gains (losses) attributable to the changes in market prices and the portion of gains (losses) attributable to changes in foreign exchange rates, if any, would appear on the “Statement of Operations” under “Net realized gain (loss) – Foreign currency translation” and “Change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) – Foreign currency translation,” respectively, if applicable.
 
If applicable, each Fund reports net realized foreign exchange gains or losses that arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

C.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.

D.Foreign Taxes. The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, stock dividends, capital gains on investments, or certain foreign currency transactions.  All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Funds invest. These foreign taxes, if there are any, are paid by each Fund and are reflected in their Statement of Operations. Foreign taxes payable or deferred as of the current period end, if any, are disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
May 31, 2026

Consistent with U.S. GAAP accrual requirements, for uncertain tax positions, each Fund recognizes tax reclaims when the Funds determine that it is more likely than not that the Funds will sustain its position that it is due the reclaim.
The Funds file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. The Funds may record a reclaim receivable based on collectability, which includes factors such as the jurisdiction’s applicable laws, payment history and market convention. The Statement of Operations includes tax reclaims recorded as well as professional and other fees, if any, associated with recovery of foreign withholding taxes.
E.Security Transactions and Investment Income. Investment securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Gains and losses realized on sales of securities are determined on a specific identification basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of any foreign taxes withheld at source. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable tax rules and regulations.

Distributions to shareholders from net investment income for each Fund are declared and paid on an annual basis for the Funds and distributions to shareholders from net realized gains on securities normally are declared and paid on an annual basis. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Funds may distribute more frequently, if necessary, for tax purposes.
 
F.Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

G.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 (“NYSE”) is closed for regular trading. The offering and redemption price per share for each Fund is equal to the Fund’s net asset value per share.

H.Guarantees and Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. Additionally, as is customary, the Trust’s organizational documents permit the Trust to indemnify its officers and trustees against certain liabilities under certain circumstances. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve future claims that may be against the Funds that have not yet occurred. As of the date of this Report, no claim has been made for indemnification pursuant to any such agreement of the Funds.

I.Segment Reporting: The Funds adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). The Funds’ adoption of the new standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect each Fund’s financial position or results of operations.

The Treasurer (principal financial officer) acts as the Funds’ Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM’) and is responsible for assessing performance and allocating resources with respect to each Fund. The CODM has concluded that each Fund operates as a single operating segment since each Fund has a single investment strategy as disclosed in their prospectus, against which the CODM assesses performance. The financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM is presented within the Funds’ financial statements.

J.Reclassification of Capital Accounts. 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 net asset value per share. In addition, the Funds realized net capital gains resulting from in-kind redemptions, in which shareholders exchanged Fund shares for securities held by the Funds rather than for cash. Because such gains

are not taxable to the Funds, and are not distributed to shareholders, they have been reclassified from distributable earnings to paid-in capital. For the Current Fiscal Period, the following table shows the reclassifications made:

K.New Accounting Pronouncement: In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. Effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, the amendments require greater disaggregation of disclosures related to income taxes paid. The ASU has been adopted by the Funds as of the reporting period end. Management has evaluated the impact of the ASU and determined it does not materially impact the financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Shareholders of
Argent ETFs and
The Board of Trustees of
EA Series Trust

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Argent Focused Small Cap ETF, Argent Large Cap ETF and Argent Mid Cap ETF (the “Funds”), each a series of EA Series Trust (the “Trust”), including the schedules of investments, as of May 31, 2026, and with respect to Argent Focused Small Cap ETF and Argent Large Cap ETF, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the year then ended and for the period April 8, 2025 (commencement of operations) through May 31, 2025 and with respect to Argent Mid Cap ETF, the statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years then ended and the financial highlights for each of the three years then ended and for the period August 16, 2022 (commencement of operations) to May 31, 2023 and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of May 31, 2026, and the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for the periods stated above, 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 have served as the auditor of one or more of the funds in the Trust since 1999.

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

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of May 31, 2026 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or through other appropriate auditing procedures when replies from brokers were unable to be obtained. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
