Gadsden Dynamic Multi-Asset ETF

Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholder,

The Gadsden team is pleased to provide you with the Gadsden Dynamic Multi Asset ETF (symbol: GDMA) (“GDMA”) annual report, dated September 30, 2022. This report refers to GDMA’s performance for the period October 1, 2021 thru September 30, 2022 (the “Period”).

The Period delivered a combination of macro extremes not witnessed in over four decades. Inflation pushed to levels last seen in the early 1980s. When these inflation pressures first materialized in 2021, both the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) and the majority of investors expected these pressures to be transitory—induced by Covid related supply chain disruptions that would soon relax. But when inflation continued to accelerate in early 2022, both the Fed and markets got the memo that inflation was now far stickier and problematic than originally expected. The Russian invasion of the Ukraine in February of 2022 only exacerbated a surge in commodity prices that was already underway. In March, the Fed commenced it fastest and most aggressive tightening campaign since Paul Volcker. By September of 2022 the Fed had raised rates nine times while simultaneously initiating a shrinking of its balance sheet (i.e. quantitative tightening). This remarkable squeeze on liquidity was the primary culprit in the dramatic bond and stock declines investors have thus far weathered in 2022.

Our strategic and tactical positioning over the Period produced single-digit results during this tumultuous period for stocks and bonds. Positive contributors to this performance included inverse bond and equity hedges as well as long commodity and related exposures which benefited from the inflationary environment. Conversely, though underweight equity and bond risk, the Fund experienced losses in a variety of equity and bond positions.

GDMA’s total return performance for the twelve-month period ending September 30, 2022 was +5.70% measured in the market price of the Fund and +5.87% measured in net asset value (“NAV”). By comparison, GDMA’s benchmark, the 60%/40% blend of Dow Jones Global Index Total Return and ICE BofA 0-3 Month Treasury Bill Index (“Blended Benchmark”), returned -12.63% for the same period.

Looking ahead, we believe there is a high likelihood of a global recession in 2023. The tightening of financial conditions in 2022 has been about as fast and severe as in any time in US history. The corresponding dramatic rise in bond yields has caused equity valuations to be re-rated lower. What equities are not yet pricing in is the possibility of a material decline in earnings that a recession could potentially induce. We believe Fed tightening thus far is now sufficient to begin slowing inflation. Nonetheless, inflation responds to financial tightening with a lag. We believe the Fed must engineer a material slowdown in economic growth to break the back of inflation. The biggest question is will they be willing to see this task through if unemployment is quickly rising but inflation remains above target? Our view is that the performance of both stocks and bonds will depend heavily on how the Fed chooses to balance its growth and employment objectives versus its inflation mandate. We think it is unlikely they will be able to manage both, simultaneously. Given this, we expect the year ahead to be a uniquely good environment for tactical risk management.

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS (continued)

SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

The performance data quoted represents past performance. Past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost and current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted.

Shares are bought and sold at market price (not at net asset value (“NAV”)), and are not individually redeemed from the Funds. Market price returns are based upon the midpoint of the bid/ask spread at the close of the exchange and does not represent the returns an investor would receive if shares were traded at other times. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. NAVs are calculated using prices as of the close of regular trading on the exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

Any offering must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus.

Opinions expressed are subject to change at any time, are not guaranteed, and should not be considered investment advice. Current and future portfolio holdings are subject to change and risk. Please refer to the Schedule of Investments contained in this report for a full listing of Fund holdings.

An investment in the Fund is subject to numerous risks, including possible loss of principal. The Fund is actively managed and does not seek to replicate a specified index. The Fund is subject to the following principal risks, among others:

Equity investing risk: An investment in the Fund involves risks similar to those of investing in any fund holding equity securities, such as market fluctuations, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in stock prices.

Foreign investment risk: Returns on investments in foreign securities could be more volatile than, or trail the returns on, investments in U.S. securities. Investments in or exposures to foreign securities are subject to special risks, including risks associated with foreign securities generally, such as differences in information available about issuers of securities and investor protection standards applicable in other jurisdictions.

Fixed Income Securities Risk. Changes in interest rates generally will cause the value of fixed-income and bond instruments held by the Fund to vary inversely to those changes. Prices of longer-term fixed-income instruments generally fluctuate more than the prices of shorter-term fixed income instruments as interest rates change. Fixed-income instruments that are fixed-rate are generally more susceptible than floating rate loans to price volatility related to changes in prevailing interest rates. The prices of floating rate fixed-income instruments tend to have less fluctuation in response to changes in interest rates, but will have some fluctuation, particularly when the next interest rate adjustment on the security is further away in time or adjustments are limited in amount over time.

The Fund may invest in short-term securities that, when interest rates decline, affect the Fund’s value as these securities mature or are sold and the Fund purchases new short-term securities with lower yields. An obligor’s willingness and ability to pay interest or to repay principal due in a timely manner may be affected by, among other factors, its cash flow.

In addition, the Fund may invest in various fixed income and floating rate securities, including high-yield (junk) bond securities, inflation-linked securities, Sovereign debt securities, and U.S. Government obligations) that are subject to additional risks. Those risks may be material and the risks differ for each of the types of underlying investments. An overview of some of the fixed income and floating rate risks is under the heading - Additional Information about the Fund’s Investment Objective and Strategies.

GADSDEN DYNAMIC MULTI-ASSET ETF

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS (CONTINUED)

SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

Investment Risk. When you sell your Shares of the Fund, they could be worth less than what you paid for them. The Fund could lose money due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during market downturns. Securities may decline in value due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular asset classes or industries represented in the markets. The value of a security may decline due to general market conditions, economic trends or events that are not specifically related to the issuer of the security or to factors that affect a particular industry or group of industries. During a general downturn in the securities markets, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Therefore, you may lose money by investing in the Fund.

Sector Risk. To the extent the Fund invests more heavily in particular sectors of the economy, its performance will be especially sensitive to developments that significantly affect those sectors.

Commodities Risk. If the Fund invests in physical commodities, those investments will subject the Fund to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities, like stocks and bonds. Investing in physical commodities, including through exchange-traded commodities (“ETCs”) or indirectly through commodity-linked derivative instruments, such as commodity-linked futures, forwards, and swaps, is speculative and can be extremely volatile. The commodities markets may fluctuate rapidly based on a variety of factors, including overall market movements; economic events and policies; changes in interest rates or inflation rates; changes in monetary and exchange control programs; war; acts of terrorism; natural disasters; and technological developments. Variables like disease, drought, floods, weather, trade, embargoes, tariffs, and other political events may have a larger impact on commodity prices than on traditional securities. The prices of commodities can also fluctuate widely due to supply and demand disruptions in major producing or consuming regions.

Because some commodities may be produced in a limited number of countries and may be controlled by a small number of producers, political, economic, and supply-related events in those countries could have a disproportionate impact on the prices of those commodities. These factors may affect the value of the Fund in varying ways, and different factors may cause the value and the volatility of the Fund to move in inconsistent directions at inconsistent rates. The current or “spot” prices of physical commodities may also affect, in a volatile and inconsistent manner, the prices of futures contracts in respect of the relevant commodity. The Fund’s exposure to physical commodities, ETCs, and other commodity-related investments presents tax risks because income and gains from these investments are treated as non-qualifying income for purposes of the Fund’s qualification as a regulated investment company, the Fund might fail to qualify as a regulated investment company, and be subject to federal income tax at the Fund level.

U.S. Government Obligations Risk. Obligations of U.S. Government agencies and authorities receive varying levels of support and may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, which could affect the Fund’s ability to recover should they default. No assurance can be given that the U.S. Government will provide financial support to its agencies and authorities if it is not obligated by law to do so. Additionally, market prices and yields of securities supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government or other countries may decline or be negative for short or long periods of time.

Cash and cash equivalents risk: Holding cash or cash equivalents rather than securities or other instruments in which the Fund primarily invests may cause the Fund to miss opportunities to participate in market appreciation.

Please refer to the prospectus for additional risk information.

The Dow Jones Global Index Total Return measures the performance of stocks that trade globally, targeting 95% coverage of markets open to foreign investment (and incorporates the reinvestment of cash distributions, such as dividends and interest). It is float market cap weighted. It is quoted and calculated in U.S. Dollars. The BofA Merrill Lynch U.S. T-Bill 0-3 Month Index tracks the performance of the U.S. dollar denominated U.S. Treasury Bills publicly issued in the U.S. domestic market with a remaining term to final maturity of less than 3 months. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION

Gadsden Dynamic Multi-Asset ETF (the “Fund”) is a series of the EA Series Trust (the “Trust”), which was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on October 11, 2013. 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 Fund’s shares (“Shares”) is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Fund commenced operations on November 14, 2018 and became a series of the Trust via a merger on November 2, 2020. The Fund qualifies as an investment company as defined in the Financial Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946-Financial Services- Investment Companies. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek total return.

The Fund is an actively managed exchange-traded fund (“ETF”) that seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in asset classes that the Fund’s portfolio managers believe offer the most attractive combined risk/return opportunities. The term “asset classes” generally includes, among others, U.S. equities, foreign securities, currencies, bonds, and real estate investment trusts (REITs). Generally, the Sub-Adviser selects investments for the Fund’s portfolio based on its long-term view of macroeconomic factors. That is considered a “strategic” approach. Through that approach, the Fund’s portfolio will generally have exposure to a variety of asset classes, geographies, and market capitalizations. Additionally, for a portion of the Fund’s portfolio, the Sub-Adviser may seek to change the Fund’s investment portfolio based on its short-term view of the markets, which is referred to as a “tactical” approach.

Shares of the Gadsden Dynamic Multi-Asset ETF are listed and traded on NYSE Arca, Inc. Market prices for the shares may be different from their net asset value (“NAV”). The Fund issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis at NAV only in blocks of 10,000 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 Fund. Shares of the Fund may only be purchased or redeemed by certain financial institutions (“Authorized Participants”).

An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed a Participant Agreement with the Distributor. Most retail investors do not qualify as Authorized Participants nor have the resources to buy and sell whole Creation Units. Therefore, they are unable to purchase or redeem the shares directly from 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. The standard transaction fee, which is payable to the Trust’s custodian, typically applies to in-kind purchases of the Fund effected through the clearing process on any business day, regardless of the number of Creation Units purchased or redeemed that day (“Standard Transaction Fees”). Variable fees are imposed to compensate the Fund for the transaction costs associated with the cash transactions fees. Certain fund deposits consisting of cash-in-lieu or cash value may be subject to a variable charge (“Variable Transaction Fees”), which is payable to the Fund, of up to 2.00% of the value of the order in addition to the Standard Transaction Fees. Variable Transaction Fees received by the Fund, if any, are displayed in the Capital Share Transactions sections of the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

Because, among other things, the Fund imposes transaction fees on purchases and redemptions of Shares to cover the custodial and other costs incurred by the Fund in effecting trades, the Board determined that it is not necessary to adopt policies and procedures to detect and deter market timing of the Fund’s Shares.

NOTE 2 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund. 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.

Securities for which quotations are not readily available are valued by a committee established by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) in accordance with procedures established by the Board. This “fair valuation” process is designed to value the subject security at the price the Trust would reasonably expect to receive upon its current sale. When a security is “fair valued,” consideration is given to the facts and circumstances relevant to the particular situation, including a review of various factors set forth in the pricing procedures adopted by the Board. The use of “fair value” pricing by a 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 September 30, 2022, the Fund did not hold any “fair valued” securities.

As described above, the Fund 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 Fund has 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 Fund’s 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 Fund’s investments as of September 30, 2022:

DESCRIPTION	LEVEL 1		LEVEL 2		LEVEL 3		TOTAL
Gadsden Dynamic Multi-Asset ETF
Assets*
Common Stocks	$	9,667,806	$	-	$	-	$	9,667,806
Investment Companies		132,294,164		-		-		132,294,164

Total Investments in Securities	$	159,371,886	$	-	$	-	$	159,371,886

* For further detail on each asset class, see the Schedule of Investments

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, the Fund 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. Risks. Markets may perform poorly and the returns from the securities in which a Fund invests may underperform returns from the general securities markets. Securities markets may experience periods of high volatility and reduced liquidity in response to governmental actions or intervention, economic or market developments, or other external factors. The value of a company’s securities may rise or fall in response to company, market, economic or other news.

Foreign securities may underperform U.S. securities and may be more volatile than U.S. securities. Risks relating to investments in foreign securities (including, but not limited to, depositary receipts and participation certificates) and to securities of issuers with significant exposure to foreign markets include: currency exchange rate fluctuation; less available public information about the issuers of securities; less stringent regulatory standards; lack of uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards; and country risks including less liquidity, high inflation rates, unfavorable economic practices, political instability and expropriation and nationalization risks.

The risks of foreign securities typically are greater in emerging and less developed markets. For example, in addition to the risks associated with investments in any foreign country, political, legal and economic structures in these less developed countries may be new and changing rapidly, which may cause instability and greater risk of loss. These securities markets may be less developed and securities in those markets are generally more volatile and less liquid than those in developed markets. Investing in emerging market countries may involve substantial risk due to, among other reasons, limited information; higher brokerage costs; different accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards; less developed legal systems and thinner trading markets as compared to those in developed countries; different clearing and settlement procedures and custodial services; and currency blockages or transfer restrictions. Emerging market countries also are more likely to experience high levels of inflation, deflation or currency devaluations, which could hurt their economies and securities markets. Certain emerging markets also may face other significant internal or external risks, including a heightened risk of war and ethnic, religious and racial conflicts. In addition, governments in many emerging market countries participate to a significant degree in their economies and securities markets, which may impair investment and economic growth of companies in those markets. Such markets may also be heavily reliant on foreign capital and, therefore, vulnerable to capital flight.

See the Fund’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information regarding the risks of investing in shares of the Funds.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

C. 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 Fund isolates 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 are included on the “Statement of Operations” under “Net realized gain (loss) – Foreign currency” and “Change in Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) – Foreign Currency,” respectively.

The 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 year-end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

D. Federal Income Taxes. The Fund intends to continue to comply with the requirements of subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, as necessary to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute substantially all net taxable investment income and net realized gains to shareholders in a manner which results in no tax cost to a Fund. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. As of and during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, the Fund did not have any tax positions that did not meet the “more-likely-than-not” threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. As of and during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, the Fund did not have liabilities for any unrecognized tax benefits. A Fund would/will recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits on uncertain tax positions as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties. The Fund is subject to examination by U.S. taxing authorities for the tax periods since the Fund’s commencement of operations.

The Fund may be subject to taxes imposed on realized and unrealized gains on securities of certain foreign countries in which the Fund invests. The foreign tax expense, if any, was recorded on an accrual basis and is included in “Net realized gain (loss) on investments” and “Net increase (decrease) in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments” on the accompanying Statement of Operations. The amount of foreign tax owed, if any, is included in “Payable for foreign taxes” on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities and is comprised of withholding taxes on foreign dividends and taxes on unrealized gains.

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 and from net realized gains on securities for the Fund are declared and paid on an annual basis. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The Fund 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 the 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 Fund’s 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 the Fund is equal to the Fund’s net asset value per share.

H. Guarantees and Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Fund enters 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 Fund 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 Fund.

I. 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 Fund’s realized net capital gains resulting from in-kind redemptions, in which shareholders exchanged Fund shares for securities held by the Fund rather than for cash. Because such gains are not taxable to the Fund, and are not distributed to shareholders, they have been reclassified from accumulated net realized losses to paid-in capital. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022 the following table shows the reclassifications made:

	Undistributed Net Investment Gain (Loss)			Accumulated Net Realized Gain (Loss)			Paid in Capital
Gadsden Dynamic Multi-Asset ETF	$	(251,654	)	$	(8,064,606	)	$	8,316,260

At a Board meeting held on September 26, 2022, the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the “Trustees”) including each Trustee who is not an “interested person” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), approved the continuance of the Advisory Agreement for an additional annual term. Per the Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays an annual rate of 0.59% to the Adviser monthly based on average daily net assets. In addition, the Trustees, including all the Independent Trustees, approved the continuation of the sub-advisory agreement for an additional annual period. A description of the Board’s consideration is included in this report.

NOTE 4 – SECURITIES LENDING

On October 1, 2021, the Board approved the use of securities lending. The Fund may lend up to 33⅓% of the value of the securities in its portfolio to brokers, dealers and financial institutions (but not individuals) under terms of participation in a securities lending program administered by the Securities Lending Agent. The securities lending agreement requires that loans are collateralized at all times in an amount equal to at least 102% of the value of any domestic loaned securities at the time of the loan, plus accrued interest. The use of loans of foreign securities, which are denominated and payable in U.S. dollars, shall be collateralized in an amount equal to 105% of the value of any loaned securities at the time of the loan plus accrued interest. The Fund receives compensation in the form of fees and earns interest on the cash collateral. The amount of fees depends on a number of factors including the type of security and length of the loan. The Fund continues to receive interest payments or dividends on the securities loaned during the borrowing period. Gain or loss on the value of securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan will be for the account of the Fund. The Fund has the right under the terms of the securities lending agreement to recall the securities from the borrower on demand.

The securities lending agreement provides that, in the event of a borrower’s material default, the Securities Lending Agent shall take all actions the Securities Lending Agent deems appropriate to liquidate the collateral, purchase replacement securities at the Securities Lending Agent’s expense, or pay the Fund an amount equal to the market value of the loaned securities, subject to certain limitations which are set forth in detail in the securities lending agreement between the Fund and the Securities Lending Agent.

As of the end of the current fiscal year, the Fund had loaned securities and received cash collateral for the loans. The cash collateral is invested by the Securities Lending Agent in accordance with the Trust approved investment guidelines. Those guidelines require the cash collateral to be invested in readily marketable, high quality, short-term obligations; however, such investments are subject to risk of payment delays or default on the part of the issuer or counterparty or otherwise may not generate sufficient interest to support the costs associated with securities lending. The Fund could also experience delays in recovering its securities and possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return the borrowed securities, although the Fund is indemnified from this risk by contract with the Securities Lending Agent.

As of the end of the current fiscal year, the values of the securities on loan and payable for collateral due to broker for the Fund were as follows:

	Value of		Payable for
	Securities		Collateral
	on Loan		Received*
Gadsden Dynamic Multi-Asset ETF	$	16,553,078	$	16,571,734

* The cash collateral received was invested in the First American Money Market Government Obligations Fund as shown on the Schedule of Investments. The investment objective is to seek maximum current income to the extent consistent with the preservation of capital and maintenance of liquidity.

The interest income earned by the Fund on the investment of cash collateral received from borrowers for the securities loaned to them (“Securities Lending Income, Net”) is reflected in the Fund’s Statement of Operations. Net securities lending income earned on collateral investments and recognized by the Fund during the current fiscal year, was as follows:

Other accumulated gain (loss)	$	(14,226,518	)
Total accumulated gain (loss)	$	(10,047,603	)

The difference between book and tax-basis cost is attributable to the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains on investments in REITs, partnerships, passive foreign investment companies and wash sales. Under tax law, certain capital and foreign currency losses realized after October 31 and within the taxable year are deemed to arise on the first business day of each Fund’s next taxable year.

For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, the Fund did not defer any qualified late year losses.

EA Series Trust

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of Gadsden Dynamic Multi-Asset ETF (the “Fund”, a series of EA Series Trust, the “Trust”) as of September 30, 2022, the related statements of operations, changes in net assets, and financial highlights for the periods indicated in the table below, including the related notes and schedules (collectively referred to as the financial statements). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position as of September 30, 2022 and the results of operations, changes in net assets, and financial highlights, in all material respects, for the periods indicated in the table below, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Fund	Statement of Operations	Changes in Net Assets	Financial Highlights
Gadsden Dynamic Multi-Asset ETF	Year ended September 30, 2022	Year ended September 30, 2022 and period from November 1, 2020 through September 30, 2021	Year ended September 30, 2022 and period from November 1, 2020 through September 30, 2021

The financial highlights for the year ended October 31, 2020 and for the period from inception (November 14, 2018) through October 31, 2019 were audited by other auditors whose report dated December 23, 2020 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Trust’s financial statements based on our audit. 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 Trust 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 audit 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. The Trust is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, 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 Trust’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2022, by correspondence with the custodian. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE

SEPTEMBER 30, 2022 (UNAUDITED)

As a shareholder of the Gadsden Multi-Dynamic ETF, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of Fund shares, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the most recent six-month period and held the entire period (April 1, 2022 to September 30, 2022).

Actual Expenses

The first line of each table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During the Period April 1, 2022 to September 30, 2022” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The second line of each table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the fund’s actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not each Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in each Fund compared to other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of each Fund shares. Therefore, the second line of each table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. The information assumes the reinvestment of all dividends and distributions.

				Beginning		Ending		Expenses Paid During
	Annualized			Account Value		Account Value		Period April 1, 2022 to
	Expense Ratio			April 1, 2022		September 30, 2022		September 30, 2022
Gadsden Dynamic Multi-Asset ETF1
Actual		0.59	%	$	1,000.00	$	990.40	$	2.94
Hypothetical (5% annual return before expenses)		0.59	%		1,000.00		1,022.11		2.99

1. The dollar amounts shown as expenses paid during the period are equal to the annualized six-month expense ratio multiplied by the average account value during the period, multiplied by 183/365, to reflect the one-half year period.

Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Trust, on behalf of the series of the Trust covered by this shareholder report (each a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”), has adopted a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) to govern the Trust’s approach to managing liquidity risk. Rule 22e-4 seeks to promote effective liquidity risk management, thereby reducing the risk that a Fund will be unable to meet its redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders. The Trust’s liquidity risk management program is tailored to reflect each Fund’s particular risks, but not to eliminate all adverse impacts of liquidity risk, which would be incompatible with the nature of that Fund.

The Trust’s Board of Trustees has designated the Chief Executive Officer of Empowered Funds LLC (the “Adviser) as the Program Administrator, responsible for administering the Program and its policies and procedures.

At the July 26, 2022, meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Trust, the Program Administrator provided the Trustees with a report pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of implementation of the Program for the period ended March 31, 2022. The report concluded that the Program appeared effectively tailored to identify potential illiquid scenarios and to enable the Funds to deliver appropriate reporting. In addition, the report concluded that the Program is adequately operating, and its implementation has been effective. The report reflected that there were no liquidity events that impacted the Fund’s ability to timely meet redemptions without dilution to existing shareholders. The report further described material changes that were made to the Program since its implementation.

There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives in the future. Please refer to the prospectus for more information regarding each Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other principal risks to which an investment in a Fund may be subject.

BOARD REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT (UNAUDITED)

The Board (the members of which are referred to as “Trustees”) of the EA Series Trust (the “Trust”) met virtually on July 26, 2022 to consider the approval of Advisory Agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Gadsden Dynamic Multi-Asset ETF (the “Fund”), and Empowered Funds, LLC (the “Adviser”), as well as to consider the approval of the Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and Gadsden, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”). In accordance with Section 15(c) of the 1940 Act, the Board requested, reviewed and considered materials furnished by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser relevant to the Board’s consideration of whether to approve the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement. In connection with considering approval of both the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), met in executive session with counsel to the Trust, who provided assistance and advice. In reaching the decision to approve both the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board considered and reviewed information provided by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser, including among other things information about its personnel, operations, financial condition, and compliance and risk management. The Board also reviewed copies of the proposed Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement. During their review and consideration, the Board focused on and reviewed the factors they deemed relevant, including:

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board was presented and considered information concerning the nature, quality and extent of the overall services expected to be provided by the Adviser to the Fund. In this connection, the Board considered the responsibilities of the Adviser, recognizing that the Adviser had invested significant time and effort in structuring the Trust and the Fund, obtaining the necessary exemptive relief from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and arranging service providers for the Fund. In addition, the Board considered that, the Adviser is responsible for providing investment advisory services to the Fund, monitoring compliance with the Fund’s objectives, policies and restrictions, and carrying out directives of the Board. The Board also considered the services expected to be provided by the Adviser in the oversight of the Trust’s administrator, transfer agent and custodian. In addition, the Board evaluated the integrity of the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s personnel, the experience of the portfolio management team in managing assets and the adequacy of the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s resources. In addition, the Board evaluated the integrity of each of the Adviser’s and Sub-Advisers’ personnel, the experience of the portfolio management team in managing assets and the adequacy of each of the Adviser’s and Sub-Adviser’s resources. The Board also considered the Adviser’s ongoing oversight responsibilities of the Sub-Adviser and the adequacy of the Adviser’s resources. The Board considered that the Sub-Adviser would provide its services as a non-discretionary investment sub-adviser and that the Adviser would be each the Fund’s discretionary investment adviser and responsible for all trading and compliance for the Fund.

Performance. The Board considered the relative performance information for the Fund. The Board utilized performance reports provided to the Board in anticipation of the meeting, as well as performance reports provided at regular Board meetings for the Fund. Peer performance information was provided in quartiles, ranging from quartile one (the worst performing) to quartile four (the best performing).

For the Gadsden Dynamic Multi-Asset ETF (“GDMA”), the Board considered third-party peer group analysis that included performance against both other exchanged-traded funds and mutual funds, which reflected data as of June 25, 2022. It was noted that GDMA realized a positive 2% return for the prior one-year period, placing it in the fourth (highest) quartile of performance versus both its ETF and mutual fund peers. For the three-year period, it was noted that GDMA realized a positive 40% return, placing it in the fourth (highest) quartile of performance versus both its ETF and mutual fund peers.

Comparative Fees and Expenses. In considering the advisory fee and sub-advisory fee, the Board reviewed and considered the fees in light of the nature, quality and extent of the services expected to be provided by the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, respectively. With respect to the advisory fee and expense ratio for the Fund, the Board also considered the fees and expense ratios versus the fees and expenses charged to other exchange-traded funds and mutual funds. The Board noted that there were no directly comparable passively managed and actively managed ETFs or mutual funds using as strategy comparable to the proposed strategy, and it was therefore difficult to compare the Fund’s management fee and estimated expenses with the fees and expenses of other passively managed and actively managed ETFs and mutual funds. With respect to the sub-advisory fee, the Board noted that they were payable solely out of the unitary management fee payable to the Adviser.

BOARD REVIEW AND APPROVAL OF ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT (UNAUDITED)

The Board considered, among other information, the data provided in the third-party report. Fee information was provided in quartiles, ranging from quartile one (the least expensive) to quartile four (the most expensive). The Board considered the third-party peer group analysis that included comparison of the Fund’s anticipated net expense ratio against funds that were both exchanged-traded funds and mutual funds. The Gadsden Dynamic Multi-Asset ETF’s total expense ratio (for both gross and net fees) were in the second quartile for ETFs. The Fund’s total expense ratio for gross and net fees were in the first (lowest) and second quartiles, respectively, for mutual funds. The Gadsden Dynamic Multi-Asset ETF’s management fee was in the third quartile for ETFs and second quartile for mutual funds. The Board determined that the Fund’s proposed fee levels were reasonable.

Costs and Profitability. The Board further considered information regarding the potential profits, if any, that may be realized by each of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser in connection with providing their respective services to the Fund. The Board reviewed estimated profit and loss information provided by the Adviser with respect to the Fund and estimated data regarding the proposed Sub-Advisory fee and the costs associated with the personnel, systems and equipment necessary to manage the Fund and to meet the regulatory and compliance requirements adopted by the SEC and other regulatory bodies as well as other expenses the Adviser would pay in accordance with the Advisory Agreement. The Board also took into consideration that the Adviser agreed to pay all expenses incurred by the Fund except for the fees paid to the Adviser pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, payments under any distribution plan adopted pursuant to Rule 12b-1, brokerage expenses, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, interest (including borrowing costs), litigation expenses and other non-routine or extraordinary expenses. The Board also considered the respective financial obligations of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, as sponsor of the Fund. They considered the Sub-Adviser’s projected Fund asset totals. The Board also considered the ownership structure of the Sub-Adviser and the assets committed by the ownership group to support the Fund.

Other Benefits. The Board further considered the extent to which the Adviser or Sub-Adviser might derive ancillary benefits from Fund operations. For example, the Adviser and Sub-Adviser may engage in soft dollar transactions in the future, although it did not currently plan to do so. In addition, the Adviser may benefit from continued growth in the Trust by potentially negotiating better fee arrangements with key vendors serving all of the funds in the Trust.

Economies of Scale. The Board also considered whether economies of scale would be realized by the Fund as it its assets grow, including the extent to which this is reflected in the level of fees to be charged. The Board noted that the advisory and sub-advisory fees for the Fund do not include breakpoints but concluded that it was premature to meaningfully evaluate potential economies of scale.

Conclusion. No single factor was determinative of the Board’s decision to approve both the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement; rather, the Board based its determination on the total mix of information available to it. Based on a consideration of all the factors in their totality, the Board, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, approved both the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement, including the compensation payable under the Agreements.

The registrant has engaged its principal accountant to perform audit services, audit-related services, tax services and other services during the past fiscal year. “Audit services” refer to performing an audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years. “Audit-related services” refer to the assurance and related services by the principal accountant that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit. “Tax services” refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant for tax compliance, tax advice, and tax planning, including review of the registrant’s tax returns and calculations of required income, capital gain and excise distributions. There were no “Other services” provided by the principal accountant. The following table details the aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed for the last fiscal year for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.

The audit committee has adopted pre-approval policies and procedures that require the audit committee to pre-approve all audit and non-audit services of the registrant, including services provided to any entity affiliated with the registrant.

The percentage of fees billed by Spicer Jeffries LLP applicable to non-audit services pursuant to waiver of pre-approval requirement were as follows:

All of the principal accountant’s hours spent on auditing the registrant’s financial statements were attributed to work performed by full-time permanent employees of the principal accountant. (If more than 50 percent of the accountant’s hours were spent to audit the registrant’s financial statements for the most recent fiscal year, state how many hours were attributed to work performed by persons other than the principal accountant’s full-time, permanent employees.)

The audit committee of the board of trustees/directors has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence and has concluded that the provision of such non-audit services by the accountant has not compromised the accountant’s independence.
