Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization
Longleaf Partners Fund, Longleaf Partners Small-Cap Fund, and Longleaf Partners Global Fund (the “Funds”) are non-diversified and each is a series of Longleaf Partners Funds Trust, a Massachusetts business trust, organized on November 26, 1986, which is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), as amended.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The Funds follow the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946 Financial Services – Investment Companies.
Segment Reporting
FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures defines operating segment as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses and has operating results that are regularly reviewed by a chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to assess performance and make resource allocation decisions. Each Fund operates as a single operating segment. Each Fund’s income, expenses, assets, and performance are regularly monitored and assessed as a whole by the portfolio managers and principal executive officer of the Funds, who act collectively as the CODM and are responsible for the oversight functions of each Fund, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.
Management Estimates
The accompanying financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”); these principles may require the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in the net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Security Valuation
The following is a description of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds’ investments (see also Note 7. Fair Value Measurements).
Portfolio securities listed or traded on a securities exchange (U.S. or foreign), on the NASDAQ national market, or any representative quotation system providing same day publication of actual prices, are valued at the last sale price, and categorized as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. If there are no transactions in the security that day, securities are valued at the midpoint between the closing bid and ask prices or, if there are no such prices, the prior day’s close, and categorized as Level 2.
In the case of bonds and other fixed income securities, valuations are furnished by a pricing service which takes into account factors in addition to quoted prices (such as trading characteristics, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, and other market data relating to the priced security or other similar securities) where taking such factors into account would lead to a more accurate reflection of the fair market value of such securities. Such securities are categorized as Level 2.
When market quotations are not readily available, valuations of portfolio securities are determined by Southeastern Asset Management, Inc. (“Southeastern”) in accordance with procedures adopted by and under the general supervision of the Funds’ Board of Trustees (the “Board”). In determining fair value, Southeastern considers relevant qualitative and quantitative information including news regarding significant market or security specific events. Southeastern may also utilize a service provided by an independent third party to assist in fair valuation of certain securities. These factors are subject to change over time and are reviewed periodically. Because the utilization of fair value depends on market activity, the frequency with which fair valuation may be used cannot be predicted. Estimated values may differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investment existed. Such securities are categorized as either Level 2 or 3.
/ 12
Repurchase agreements are valued at cost which, combined with accrued interest, approximates market value. Short-term U.S. Government obligations purchased with a remaining maturity of more than 60 days are valued through pricing obtained through pricing services approved by the Funds’ Board. Obligations purchased with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less or existing positions that have less than 60 days to maturity generally are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. However, if amortized cost is deemed not to reflect fair value, the securities are valued at prices furnished by dealers who make markets in such securities or by an independent pricing service. Such securities are categorized as Level 2.
The Funds determine net asset values (“NAVs”) once a day, at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“Exchange”) (usually at 4:00 p.m. Eastern time) on days the Exchange is open for business. The Exchange is closed for specified national holidays and on weekends. Foreign securities are generally priced at the latest market close in the foreign market, which may be at different times or days than the close of the Exchange. If country specific (i.e. natural disaster, economic or political developments), issuer specific (i.e. earnings report, merger announcement), or U.S. markets-specific (i.e. significant movement in U.S. markets that would likely affect the value of foreign securities) events occur which could materially affect the NAV between the close of the foreign market and normal pricing at the close of the Exchange, foreign securities may be fair valued by Southeastern in accordance with procedures adopted by and under the general supervision of the Board using observable data (i.e. trading in depository receipts) or using an external pricing service approved by the Board. The pricing service uses an automated system incorporating a model based on multiple parameters, including a security’s local closing price, relevant general and sector indices, currency fluctuations, trading in depositary receipts and futures, if applicable, and/or research valuations by its staff, in determining what it believes is the fair value of the securities. Such securities are categorized as Level 2.
Security Transactions
The Funds record security transactions on trade date. Realized gains and losses on security transactions are determined using the specific identification method. Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, except that certain dividends from foreign securities are recorded as soon after the ex-dividend date as the Fund is able to obtain information on the dividend. Withholding taxes and tax reclaims on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds’ understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization of premium or accretion of discount using the effective interest method. The Funds record distributions received from investments in Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) and Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”) in excess of income from underlying investments as a reduction of cost of investments and/or realized gain. Such amounts are based on estimates if actual amounts are not available and actual amounts of income, realized gain and return of capital may differ from the estimated amounts. The Funds adjust the estimated amounts once the issuers provide information about the actual composition of the distributions.
Foreign Currency Translations
The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency, and income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars using the prevailing exchange rate at the NYSE market close. Purchases and sales of securities are translated into U.S. dollars at the contractual currency rates established at the approximate time of the trade.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses from currency realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between income accrued versus income received. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.
/ 13
Distributions to Shareholders
Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders annually. Net realized capital gains from investment transactions, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders at least annually. Furthermore, capital gains are distributed only to the extent they exceed available capital loss carryforwards. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount and timing of distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP.
Expenses
Expenses of the Trust that can be directly attributed to a particular fund are charged to that Fund. Expenses that cannot be directly attributed are allocated among the Funds based either on an equal proration or based on average net assets of each Fund.
Federal Income Taxes
The Funds’ policy is to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all taxable income to shareholders. Accordingly, no federal income tax provision is required. Reclassifications are made within the Funds’ capital accounts for permanent book and tax basis differences.
The Funds’ tax returns are subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities until expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, which is generally three years after filing of the tax return but could be longer in certain circumstances. Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (tax years ended December 31, 2022 through 2025), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. The Funds did not incur any interest or penalties during the year.
Repurchase Agreements
The Funds may engage in repurchase agreement transactions. The Fixed Income Clearing Corporation (“FICC”) sells U.S. government or agency securities to each Fund under agreements to repurchase these securities at a stated repurchase price including interest for the term of the agreement, which is usually overnight or over a weekend. Each Fund, through FICC, receives delivery of the underlying U.S. government or agency securities as collateral, whose market value is required to be at least equal to the repurchase price. If FICC becomes bankrupt, the Fund might be delayed, or may incur costs or possible losses of principal and income, in selling the collateral.

In addition, the Trust reimburses Trustees for out-of-pocket expense incurred in conjunction with attendance at Board meetings. One Trustee of the Trust is an employee of Southeastern. Trustee fees and expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 are disclosed in the Statements of Operations. There were no Trustee fees payable at June 30, 2026.

Note 7. Fair Value Measurements
FASB ASC 820 established a single definition of fair value for financial reporting, created a three-tier framework for measuring fair value based on inputs used to value the Funds’ investments, and required additional disclosure about the use of fair value measurements. The hierarchy of inputs is summarized below.
| ● | Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments |
| ● | 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 Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
Observable inputs are those based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Funds, and unobservable inputs reflect the Funds’ own assumptions based on the best information available. The input levels are not necessarily an indication of risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation), undistributed ordinary income (loss) and accumulated net realized gain (loss) from investments is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the table above includes unrealized foreign currency losses of $5,436 and $49,283 for the Longleaf Small-Cap Fund and Longleaf Global Fund, respectively.
Capital losses incurred after October 31 within the fiscal year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. The Funds incurred and elected to defer such capital losses as follows:

| Small-Cap Fund | — | |||
| Global Fund | 2,031,636 | |||
At December 31, 2025, the Funds had capital loss carry forwards for federal income tax purposes available to offset future capital gains, along with capital loss carry forwards utilized in the current year as follows:

As a result of the acquisition of another Fund, $297,450 of short-term loss carryover, remains to be recognized in future years. This amount is less than the annual limitation under tax rules.
During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, certain of the Funds utilized tax equalization which is the use of earnings and profits distributions to shareholders on redemption of shares as part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes. Permanent book and tax differences, primarily attributable to the book/tax basis treatment of distributions in excess, the tax treatment of a target fund’s capital loss carryforward acquired as a result of a merger and adjustments for use of tax equalization credits, resulted in reclassifications for the Funds for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 as follows:
| Paid In Capital |

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies
The Funds indemnify the Board for certain liabilities that might arise from their performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds expect the risk of loss to be remote.

Note 10. Principal Risks
The following is a summary of the principal risks of investing in the Funds, please see the Funds’ prospectus for a complete discussion of these and other risks.
Stock Market Risk - Equity prices fluctuate in response to actual or perceived developments at individual companies, within particular industries or sectors, or general economic conditions. Equity prices may also fluctuate due to other disruptive events in one or more countries, including but not limited to government shutdowns, war, military conflict, natural disasters, epidemic/pandemic outbreaks, political uprisings, inflation, rapid interest rate changes, supply chain disruptions, sanctions, increased government spending, social unrest and the like. If a Fund’s price declines and you redeem your shares, you could lose money.
Non-Diversification Risk - Because the Funds are non-diversified under federal securities laws and generally invests in 15 to 25 companies, each holding will have a greater impact on the Funds’ total return, and share value could fluctuate more than if a greater number of securities were held.
Small-Cap Risks - Smaller companies may have more limited product lines, markets, and financial resources than larger companies, and to the extent recently established, may have limited or no operating history to evaluate. In addition, their securities may trade less frequently and in more limited volume than those of larger companies. Small-cap stocks may be more volatile than those of larger companies and, where trading volume is thin, our ability to dispose of such securities may be more limited.
Non-U.S. Investment Risks - Non-U.S. investment risks can include political, economic and social changes, non-U.S. withholding taxes, exchange controls, confiscation, non-U.S. governmental restrictions, differences in accounting and auditing standards, more limited availability of public information and market illiquidity. In addition, non-U.S. securities are generally denominated and traded in non-U.S. currencies, and the Funds may invest in derivative instruments that provide exposure to non-U.S. currencies. The exchange rates between currencies can fluctuate daily. As a result, the values of a Fund’s non-U.S. securities may be affected by changes in exchange rates between non-U.S. currencies and the U.S. dollar, as well as between currencies of countries other than the U.S. As a result, the Fund’s price will be more susceptible to currency fluctuations. Non-U.S. investment risks may be more pronounced in emerging markets and may also include possible sanctions by governmental bodies and other entities.
Focused Geographic Risks - The Funds do not limit the percentage of assets invested in any particular geographic region or country. Accordingly, there may be periods when the Fund has significant exposure to a particular region or country, so that negative events occurring in that area would have a greater adverse impact on performance than they would on more geographically diversified funds.
Large Shareholder Transaction Risk - Certain shareholders may from time to time own a substantial amount of the shares of the Funds. The Funds may experience adverse effects when certain large shareholders redeem or purchase large amounts of shares of the Funds. Large redemptions may cause the Funds to sell securities at times when it would not otherwise, which could negatively impact Fund performance, and also result in additional transaction costs, an increase to the Funds’ expense ratio, and may accelerate the realization of taxable income to shareholders if such sales of investments resulted in gains. Similarly, large purchases may adversely affect the Funds’ performance to the extent that the Funds are delayed in investing new cash and is required to maintain a larger cash position than it ordinarily would.

Note 11. Fund Reorganization
On August 20, 2025, the Board approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization which provided for the acquisition of all of the assets and the assumption of the liabilities of the Longleaf Partners International Fund in exchange for shares of the Longleaf Partners Global Fund. The purpose of the transaction was to enhance investment management efficiencies and flexibility and increase economies of scale which reduces shareholder expenses. Shareholders of the Longleaf Partners International Fund approved the reorganization on December 18, 2025 and the reorganization took place at the close of business on December 19, 2025. The acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of shares at close of business Friday, December 19, 2025. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Longleaf Partners Global Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from the Longleaf Partners International Fund was carried forward to align ongoing reporting of the Longleaf Partners Global Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes.

The net assets and net unrealized appreciation immediately before the acquisition were as follows:

|||||||||
| Longleaf Partners Global Fund | 56,732,647 | $ | 793,506,799 | $ | 81,155,080 | |||||||
Assuming the acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2025, the beginning of the reporting period for the Funds, the Longleaf Partners International Fund and Longleaf Partners Global Fund pro-forma results of operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 are as follows:
| Longleaf Partners Global Fund | ||||
| Net investment Income | $ | 11,178,701 | ||
| Net realized and unrealized gain on investments | $ | 161,150,475 | ||
| Net increase in net assets from operations | $ | 172,329,176 | ||
Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenues and earnings of the Longleaf Partners International Fund that have been included in the Longleaf Partners Global Fund’s statement of operations since December 19, 2025. Since the Longleaf Partners International Fund and Longleaf Partners Global Fund sold and redeemed shares throughout the period, it is not practicable to provide pro-forma information on a per-share basis.
Note 12. Subsequent Events
The Funds evaluated events from the date of the financial statements through the date the financial statements were issued. There were no subsequent events requiring recognition or disclosure.
