How did the Fund perform during the reporting period?

While 2025 was an underwhelming year for the Longleaf Partners Fund (the "Fund"), there was a clear theme that we can live with in the short term: we did not have enough big winners. While over 35% of the S&P 500 was up more than 20% this year (with an average return of just over 50%), only about 5% of our portfolio was up 20% or more this year (average return of 35%). Years like this (and 1987, 1999, 2007 and 2021) when a momentum-driven market puts up numbers late in a bull market can signal danger ahead. This overall dynamic led to us trailing the market and our internal target of inflation plus 10%.

We are not going to push too hard for big winners at the wrong time in the later stages of a bull market. Instead, we have been making targeted moves to improve the portfolio, and we are excited about what we own. In fact, some of the key stocks that held us back over the last year saw tangible change in the later part of 2025 that we believe sets us up well for more outsized winners in 2026. For example, while Kraft Heinz was a detractor this year, we were thrilled when Steve Cahillane, a great CEO partner from our successful Kellogg's investment, was announced as Kraft's CEO at the end of the year. We wrote last quarter about the merger of Rayonier and PotlatchDeltic, which should close in the first quarter of 2026 and put the company on offense. Other investees like Albertsons and CNX strongly built value per share with outsized share repurchase during the year in a way that is not yet recognized by the market.

How did the Fund perform during the reporting period?

We had a solid year in the Longleaf Partners Global Fund (the "Global Fund") marked by Southeastern's 50th anniversary and the 25th anniversary of our Global strategy. The Global Fund had a mix of both larger winners and limited losers leading to a year that beat our absolute return hurdle of inflation plus 10%. While we trailed the index, the vast majority of our underperformance came from an underweight in Financials and choosing to hold cash, along with a lack of late-in-the-cycle Industrials (especially European defense companies getting a one-time bump earlier this year). We can live with that at this point in the market, as certain parts of the "value index" are now fully priced even if they might be at lower earnings per share (EPS) multiples than the overpriced broader market.

How did the Fund perform during the reporting period?

Southeastern turned 50 this year. While the small-cap strategy at Southeastern has not been around for all 50 years, we have seen plenty of different types of environments in small-cap investing over that time. This year was one of those years where the underlying developments at our holdings were better than the stock price returns vs. our absolute goal of inflation plus 10% and a strange Russell 2000. To explain this, let's break the returns of the Russell 2000 into the following buckets: 20%+ winners, middle ground, 20%+ decliners.

The starkest difference this year between our portfolio and the market was in the big winners bucket, where over 35% of the Russell 2000 (many of its lower quality constituents) was up an average of 70%+ this year vs. only 15% of our portfolio up an average of 30%. The second bucket includes those investments that returned between -20% to +20% this year. The Longleaf Partners Small-Cap Fund (the "Fund") had 75% of its portfolio in this group vs. the Russell 2000's mid-40s%, and the Fund's average performance in this group was better than the index's 0% return, as we had multiple positive developments in this group that includes key holdings on offense such as White Mountains, CNX and the soon-to-merge pair of Rayonier and PotlatchDeltic. The final bucket consists of 20%+ decliners. The Fund did well here with only 10% of the portfolio in this category with an average loss of 30% vs. the index at 15-20% and 40-50%. We have not lost permanent capital in our holdings here in aggregate and look forward to better years ahead for those we discuss below.

Effective May 1, 2024, the Fund changed its broad-based securities market index to the Russell 3000 Index due to regulatory requirements. The Fund retained the Russell 2000 Index and the Russell 2000 Value Index as performance benchmarks because they more closely align with the Fund's investment strategies and restrictions.

Notes to Financial Statements

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.

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 are responsible for the oversight functions of each Fund, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.

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.

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.

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.

/ 11

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.

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.

/ 12

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.

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.

/ 15

A summary of the inputs used in valuing the Funds' investments at December 31, 2025 follows:

Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Value

Global Fund - - (2,037,285 ) (291,801 ) - 75,404,964 73,075,878

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 gains 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:

Post October
Losses
Partners Fund $ 2,269,268
Small-Cap Fund -
Global Fund 2,037,285

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:

Short-Term Long-Term Total Capital Loss Carry Forwards Utilized
Partners Fund $ - $ - $ - $ -
Small-Cap Fund 51,776,977 247,155,628 298,932,605 51,750,314
Global Fund 291,801 - 291,801 4,282,301

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

Partners Fund $ 6,724,305 $ (6,724,305 )

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.

/ 17

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. New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09 ("ASU 2023-09"), Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which amends quantitative and qualitative income tax disclosure requirements in order to increase disclosure consistency, bifurcate income tax information by jurisdiction and remove information that is no longer beneficial. The Funds have adopted the amendment for the current fiscal year, however, there were no income taxes paid.

/ 18

Note 12. 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 acquisition was accomplished by a tax-free exchange of shares at the close of business on 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.

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 $ 10,277,248
Net realized and unrealized gain on investments $ 162,051,928
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 13. 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.

Audit Opinion

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees of Longleaf Partners Funds Trust

Opinion of the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of Longleaf Partners Funds Trust comprising Longleaf Partners Fund, Longleaf Partners Small-Cap Fund, and Longleaf Partners Global Fund (the "Funds") as of December 31, 2025, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Funds as of December 31, 2025, the results of their operations for the year then ended, and the changes in net assets and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Funds' financial highlights for the years ended December 31, 2023, and prior, were audited by other auditors whose report dated February 23, 2024, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial highlights.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds' financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2025, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Funds' auditor since 2024.

In connection with the regular meeting held on September 11, 2025 of the Board of Trustees (the "Trustees" or the "Board") of the of Longleaf Partners Funds Trust (the "Trust"), including a majority of the Trustees who are not "interested persons," as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, discussed the renewal of the investment advisory agreements (each an "Advisory Agreement" and collectively the "Advisory Agreements") between Southeastern Asset Management Inc.

In considering the renewal of each Advisory Agreement, the Board received materials specifically relating to each Advisory Agreement.

The Trustees relied upon their own business judgment in determining the material factors to be considered in evaluating the Advisory Agreements and the weight to be given to each such factor. The conclusions reached by the Trustees were based on a comprehensive evaluation of all of the information provided and were not the result of any one factor. Moreover, each Trustee may have afforded different weight to the various factors in reaching his conclusions with respect to the Advisory Agreements.

The Board concluded that the Adviser's profitability in relation to the advisory services rendered to the Funds was not excessive.

Economies of Scale.

The Board also noted that the Adviser agreed to cap the Partners Fund's fee at 0.79% through April 30, 2026. The Board considered whether economies of scale had been reached with respect to the management of the Fund. The Board noted that Partners Fund fee levels reflect the sharing of economies of scale through applications of their breakpoint and fee cap.

The Board considered whether economies of scale had been reached with respect to the management of the Global Fund. While the Board noted that the Global Fund remains below the breakpoint at this time, they also noted it will exceed the breakpoint after the merger and shareholders will benefit from economies of scale.

Comparative Fees Paid By Similar Funds.

Partners Fund - The Board evaluated the investment counsel fee paid to the Adviser, noting that its fee of 1% per annum on the first $400 million in net assets and 0.75% for assets above $400 million exceeds those of some funds in the industry samples. The Board acknowledged the Adviser's explanation that this result is counterbalanced by lower total expenses other than management and administrative fees. The Board also considered that shareholders benefited from the expense limitation agreement that limited expenses for the Partners Fund. The Board concluded that the advisory fee for the Partners Fund was not unreasonable.

The Board concluded that the advisory fee for International Fund was not unreasonable.

Global Fund - The Board evaluated the investment counsel fee paid to Adviser, noting that its fee of 1.125% per annum on the first $500 million in net assets and 1.0% for assets above $500 million exceeds those of some funds in the industry samples.
