HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM LAST YEAR AND WHAT AFFECTED ITS PERFORMANCE?
For the 12-month period ended November 30, 2025, despite the benchmark index extending materially in duration, the strategy outperformed the MBS Index by approximately 280 basis points (bps) and the Aggregate Bond Index by nearly 370   bps on a gross basis.
WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED PERFORMANCE
The year-over-year environment was markedly different. The Fed made a clear pivot to a more dovish stance, with policy easing beginning in September. This shift drove an approximate 90 bp rally in the 2-year Treasury and a steepening of the 2s/10s curve by roughly 65 bps.
POSITIONING
As the Fed increasingly telegraphed its policy pivot, we extended portfolio duration by approximately half a year. Despite declining interest rates, we were able to maintain portfolio coupon levels.
We continued to reduce our allocation to Government Sponsored Enterprise (GSE) Credit Risk Transfer (CRT), decreasing exposure from 8.5% to 5%, as we identified significantly more attractive risk-adjusted opportunities in alternative sectors.
PERFORMANCE
Allocations to pre-global financial crisis (GFC) residential mortgage bonds generated strong returns of approximately 12%, benefiting from longer duration exposure and improving credit fundamentals.
While a smaller allocation, our exposure to Single-Family Rental securitizations also materially outperformed, delivering returns of approximately 11.5%.
HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM SINCE INCEPTION?*

"Tax services" refer to professional services rendered by the principal accountant including the review of federal income tax returns, review of federal excise tax returns, review of state tax returns, if any, and assistance with calculation 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 each of the last two fiscal years for audit fees, audit-related fees, tax fees and other fees by the principal accountant.

FYE 11/30/2025 FYE 11/30/2024

(b) Audit-Related Fees N/A N/A
(c) Tax Fees $7,200 $7,200
(d) All Other Fees N/A N/A

(e)(1) 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.

(e)(2) The percentage of fees billed by Tait, Weller & Baker LLP applicable to non-audit services pursuant to waiver of pre-approval requirement were as follows:

Non-Audit Related Fees FYE 11/30/2025 FYE 11/30/2024
Registrant N/A N/A
Registrant's Investment Adviser N/A N/A

(h) 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.

(i) The registrant has not been identified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as having filed an annual report issued by a registered public accounting firm branch or office that is located in a foreign jurisdiction where the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board is unable to inspect or completely investigate because of a position taken by an authority in that jurisdiction.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
at November 30, 2025
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
The Medalist Partners MBS Total Return Fund and the Medalist Partners Short Duration Fund (each a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds") are each a diversified series of Advisors Series Trust (the "Trust"), which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the "1940 Act") as an open-end management investment company. The Funds follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 "Financial Services - Investment Companies".
The investment objective of the Medalist Partners MBS Total Return Fund ("Total Return Fund") is to seek a high level of risk-adjusted current income and capital appreciation. The investment objective of the Medalist Partners Short Duration Fund ("Short Duration Fund") is to seek a high level of current income that is consistent with preservation of capital. Each Fund currently offers Investor Class shares and Institutional Class shares and the Total Return Fund offers Class A shares. The Total Return Fund Class A shares may be subject to a 2.00% front-end sales load. The Total Return Fund's Investor Class shares and Institutional Class shares commenced operations on July 22, 2013, and the Class A shares commenced operations on December 18, 2015. The Short Duration Fund's Investor Class shares and Institutional Class shares commenced operations on December 23, 2010.
NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
A.
Security Valuation:All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.
B.
Federal Income Taxes:It is the Funds' policy to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Each Fund will be liable for an excise tax on the amount by which it does not meet the distribution requirements and will accrue an excise tax liability at the time that the liability can be estimated and is probable.
The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is "more likely than not" to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. The tax returns of the Funds' prior three fiscal years are open for examination. Management has reviewed all open tax years in major jurisdictions and concluded that there is no impact on the Funds' net assets and no tax liability resulting from unrecognized tax events relating to uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal and the state of Wisconsin. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.
C.
Security Transactions, Income and Distributions: Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are calculated on the basis of high amortized cost. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on securities purchased are accreted/amortized over the life of the respective security using the effective interest method, except for premiums on certain callable debt securities that are amortized to the earliest call date. Non-cash interest income included in interest income, if any, is recorded at the fair market value of additional par received. Paydown gains and losses on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities are recorded as components of interest income on the statement of operations. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Investment income, expenses (other than those specific to the class of shares), and realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments are allocated to the separate classes of each Fund based upon their relative net assets on the date income is earned or expensed and realized and unrealized gains and losses are incurred.
Each Fund is charged for those expenses that are directly attributable to the Fund, such as investment advisory, custody and transfer agent fees. Expenses that are not attributable to a Fund are typically allocated among the Funds in proportion to their respective net assets. Common expenses of the Trust are typically allocated among the funds in the Trust based on a fund's respective net assets, or by other equitable means.
The Funds declare dividends from net investment income daily and distribute the dividends to shareholders monthly. The Funds distribute any realized gains, if any, annually. Distributions from net realized gains for book purposes may include short-term capital gains. All short-term capital gains are included in ordinary income for tax purposes.
The amount of dividends and distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized capital gains is determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations which differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. To the extent these book/tax differences are permanent, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their Federal tax treatment.
D.
Restricted Securities: The Funds may invest in securities that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale ("restricted securities"). Restricted securities may be resold in transactions that are exempt from registration under the Federal securities laws. The sale or other disposition of these securities may involve additional expenses and the prompt sale of these securities at an acceptable price may be difficult. At November 30, 2025, the Funds held securities issued pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. All Rule 144A securities except for five securities in the Total Return Fund and all securities in the Short Duration Fund have been classified as liquid under the Funds' liquidity risk management program. At November 30, 2025, the Total Return Fund held $9 or 0.0% in 144A securities classified as illiquid. Other restricted investments held by the Funds at November 30, 2025 are disclosed in the notes to the schedules of investments.
E.
Reclassification of Capital Accounts:Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require 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. There were no reclassifications made in the Funds for the year ended November 30, 2025.
F.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
G.
Events Subsequent to the Fiscal Year End: In preparing the financial statements as of November 30, 2025, management considered the impact of subsequent events for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. Management has determined there were no subsequent events that would need to be disclosed in the Funds' financial statements.

NOTE 3 - SECURITIES VALUATION
The Funds have adopted authoritative fair value accounting standards which establish an authoritative definition of fair value and set out a hierarchy for measuring fair value. These standards require additional disclosures about the various inputs and valuation techniques used to develop the measurements of fair value, a discussion in changes in valuation techniques and related inputs during the period and expanded disclosure of valuation levels for major security types. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:
Level 1 -
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that each 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 each 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.
Following is a description of the valuation techniques applied to the Funds' major categories of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
Each Fund determines the fair value of its investments and computes its net asset value per share as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (4:00 pm EST).
Market values for fixed income securities are normally determined on the basis of valuations provided by independent pricing services. Each independent pricing service typically values securities based on one or more inputs as described below. Securities that use similar valuation techniques and inputs as described below are categorized as level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. To the extent the significant inputs are unobservable, the values are generally categorized as level 3.
Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities: Mortgage- and asset-backed securities are securities issued as separate tranches, or classes, of securities within each deal. These securities are normally valued by independent pricing service providers that use broker-dealer quotations or valuation estimates from their internal pricing models. The pricing models for these securities usually consider tranche-level attributes, estimated cash flows and market-based yield spreads for each tranche, current market data and incorporate deal collateral performance, as available.
U.S. Government Securities: U.S. Government securities are normally valued using a model that incorporates market observable data such as reported sales of similar securities, broker quotes, yields, bids, offers, and reference data. Certain securities are valued principally using dealer quotations.
U.S. Government Agency Securities:U.S. Government agency securities are comprised of two main categories consisting of agency issued debt and mortgage pass-throughs. Agency issued debt securities are generally valued in a manner similar to U.S. Government securities. Mortgage pass-throughs include to-be-announced ("TBAs") securities and mortgage pass-through certificates. TBA securities and mortgage pass-throughs are generally valued using dealer quotations.
Other Debt Securities: Other debt securities, including corporate and municipal bonds, are valued at their mean prices furnished by an independent pricing service provider using valuation methods that are designed to represent fair value. These valuation methods can include matrix pricing and other
26

TABLE OF CONTENTS

MEDALIST PARTNERS FUNDS
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
at November 30, 2025(Continued)
analytical pricing models, market transactions, and dealer-supplied valuations. The pricing service may consider yields or recently executed transactions of investments with comparable quality, type of issue, coupon maturity and rating, market price quotations (where observable), bond spreads, and fundamental data relating to the issuer.
Investment Companies: Investments in open-end mutual funds, including money market funds, are generally priced at their net asset value per share provided by the service agent of the Funds and will be classified in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Short-Term Securities: Short-term debt securities, including those securities having a maturity of 60 days or less, are valued at the evaluated mean between the bid and asked prices. To the extent the inputs are observable and timely, these securities would be classified in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The Board of Trustees (the "Board") has adopted a valuation policy for use by each Fund and its Valuation Designee (as defined below) in calculating each Fund's net asset value ("NAV"). Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Board has designated the Funds' investment adviser, Medalist Partners, LP ("Adviser"), as the "Valuation Designee" to perform all of the fair value determinations as well as to perform all of the responsibilities that may be performed by the Valuation Designee in accordance with Rule 2a-5, subject to the Board's oversight. The Adviser, as Valuation Designee, is authorized to make all necessary determinations of the fair values of portfolio securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or if it is deemed that the prices obtained from brokers and dealers or independent pricing services are unreliable.
Depending on the relative significance of the valuation inputs, fair valued securities may be classified in either level 2 or level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following is a summary of the inputs used to value the Funds' securities as of November 30, 2025:

The Trust Rule 18f-4 Compliance Policy ("Trust Policy") governs the use of derivatives by the Funds. The Trust Policy imposes limits on the amount of derivatives a fund can enter into, eliminates the asset segregation framework currently used by a fund to comply with Section 18 of the 1940 Act, treats derivatives as senior securities and requires funds whose use of derivatives is more than a limited specified exposure amount to establish and maintain a comprehensive derivatives risk management program and appoint a derivatives risk manager. Each Fund is considered a limited derivatives user under the Trust Policy and therefore, is required to limit its derivatives exposure to no more than 10% of the Fund's net assets. For the year ended November 30, 2025, the Funds did not enter into derivatives transactions.
Accounting Pronouncements - In December 2022, FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update, ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 ("ASU 2022-06"). ASU 2022-06 is an amendment to ASU 2020-04, which extends the effective period through December 31, 2024. Management has worked with financial institutions and counterparties to modify contracts as required by applicable regulation and within regulatory deadlines.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"). ASU 2023-07 is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses, allowing financial statement users to better understand the components of a segment's profit or loss and assess potential future cash flows for each reportable segment and the entity as a whole. The amendments expand a public entity's segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker, clarifying when an entity may report one or more additional measures to assess segment performance, requiring
29

enhanced interim disclosures and providing new disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, among other new disclosure requirements. Management has evaluated the impact of adopting ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures with respect to the financial statements and disclosures and determined there is no material impact for the Funds. The Funds operate as a single segment entity. The Funds' income, expenses, assets, and performance are regularly monitored and assessed by the Adviser's Management Committee, consisting of the firm's Chief Executive Office and Chief Investment Officer, who serve as the Chief Operating Decision Makers, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.
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. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024, and early adoption is permitted. Fund Management is evaluating the impacts of these changes on the Funds' financial statements.
In October 2020, the SEC adopted Rule 12d1-4 under the 1940 Act and other regulatory changes which were effective on January 19, 2022. Those changes are intended to streamline and enhance the regulatory framework for investments by one fund into another fund or 'fund-of-funds arrangements.' These regulatory changes may limit a Fund's ability to pursue its principal investment strategies by investing in other investment companies or pooled investment vehicles or to invest in those investment companies or pooled investment vehicles it believes are most desirable. Management has determined that the rule had no material impact on the Funds' financial statements.
NOTE 4 - INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Adviser provides the Funds with investment management services under an investment advisory agreement. The Adviser furnishes all investment advice, office space, facilities, and provides most of the personnel needed by the Funds. As compensation for its services, each Fund pays the Adviser a monthly management fee. For the Total Return Fund, the fees are calculated at an annual rate of 0.60% of the Fund's average daily net assets for the first $1.5 billion of assets, 0.55% of the Fund's average daily net assets for the next $1 billion of assets, and 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets in excess of $2.5 billion. For the Short Duration Fund, the Adviser is entitled to a monthly fee at the annual rate of 0.35% based upon the Fund's average daily net assets. For the year ended November 30, 2025, the advisory fees incurred by the Funds are disclosed in the statements of operations.
Each Fund is responsible for its own operating expenses. The Adviser has contractually agreed to reduce fees payable to it by each Fund and to pay Fund operating expenses to the extent necessary to limit the aggregate annual operating expenses (excluding acquired fund fees and expenses, interest expense, dividends on securities sold short, taxes, extraordinary expenses, Rule 12b-1 fees, shareholder servicing fees and any other class-specific expenses). The Total Return Fund expenses are limited to 0.90% of the average daily net assets of the Fund and the Short Duration Fund expenses are limited to 0.60% of the average daily net assets of the Fund. Any such reductions made by the Adviser in its fees or payment of expenses which are a Fund's obligation are subject to reimbursement by the Fund to the Adviser, if so requested by the Adviser, in any subsequent month in the 36-month period from the date of the management fee reduction and expense payment if the aggregate amount actually paid by the Fund toward the operating expenses for such fiscal year (taking into account the reimbursement) will not cause the Fund to exceed the lesser of: (1) the expense limitation in place at the time of the management fee reduction and expense payment; or (2) the expense limitation in place at the time of the reimbursement. Any such reimbursement is also contingent upon Board of Trustees review and approval. Such reimbursement may not be paid prior to each Fund's payment of current ordinary operating expenses.

The book basis and tax basis cost are the same in the Short Duration Fund. The difference between book basis and tax basis net unrealized depreciation and cost is attributable primarily to wash sales in the Total Return Fund. The difference between book basis and tax basis distributable earnings are primarily due to losses disallowed and recognized on wash sales, capital loss carryforwards, and tax adjustments to dividends payable.

NOTE 9 - PRINCIPAL RISKS
Below is a summary of some, but not all, of the principal risks of investing in the Funds, each of which may adversely affect a Fund's net asset value and total return. The Funds' most recent prospectus provides further descriptions of each Fund's investment objective, principal investment strategies and principal risks.
General Market Risk- Economies and financial markets throughout the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, which increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one country or region will adversely impact markets or issuers in other countries or regions. Securities in the Fund's portfolio may underperform in comparison to securities in general financial markets, a particular financial market or other asset classes due to a number of factors, including: inflation (or expectations for inflation); deflation (or expectations for deflation); interest rates; market instability; financial system instability; debt crises and downgrades; embargoes; tariffs; sanctions and other trade barriers; regulatory events; other governmental trade or market control programs and related geopolitical events. In addition, the value of the Fund's investments may be negatively affected by the occurrence of global events such as war, terrorism, environmental disasters, natural disasters or events, country instability, and infectious disease epidemics or pandemics. Conflict, loss of life and disaster connected to ongoing armed conflict between Ukraine and Russia in Europe and Israel and Hamas in the Middle East could have severe adverse effects on the region, including significant adverse effects on the regional or global economies and the markets for certain securities. The U.S. and the European Union imposed sanctions on certain Russian Individuals and companies, including certain financial institutions, and have limited certain exports and imports to and from Russia. The war has contributed to recent market volatility and may continue to do so.
Liquidity Risk- Liquidity risk exists when particular investments are difficult to purchase or sell. A Fund's investments in illiquid securities may reduce the returns of the Fund because it may be difficult to sell the illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price or achieve its desired level of exposure to a certain sector. Liquidity risk may be the result of, among other things, the reduced number and capacity of traditional market participants to make a market in fixed-income securities or the lack of an active market. Liquid investments may become illiquid or less liquid after purchase by a Fund, particularly during periods of market turmoil. Illiquid and relatively less liquid investments may be harder to value, especially in changing markets.
Risks Associated with Mortgage-Backed and Other Asset-Backed Securities - In addition to the risks associated with other fixed income securities, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities are subject to certain other risks. The value of these securities will be influenced by the factors affecting the housing market or the other assets underlying such securities. As a result, during periods of declining asset values, difficult or frozen credit markets, significant changes in interest rates, or deteriorating economic conditions, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities may decline in value, face valuation difficulties, become more volatile and/or become illiquid. The liquidity of these assets may change over time.
Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk - RMBS are subject to the risks generally associated with mortgage-backed securities. RMBS may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government and are subject to risk of default on the underlying mortgages. RMBS issued by non-government entities may offer higher yields than those issued by government entities, but also may be subject to greater volatility than government issues.

at November 30, 2025(Continued)
Delinquencies and defaults by borrowers in payments on the underlying mortgages, and the related losses, are affected by general economic conditions, the borrower's equity in the mortgaged property and the borrower's financial circumstances.
Credit Risk Transfer Securities Risk - Credit risk transfer securities are unguaranteed and unsecured debt securities issued by the government sponsored entity and therefore are not directly linked to or backed by the underlying mortgage loans. As a result, in the event that a government sponsored entity fails to pay principal or interest on its credit risk transfer securities or goes through a bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding, holders of such credit risk transfer securities have no direct recourse to the underlying mortgage loans and will generally receive recovery on par with other unsecured note holders in such a scenario. The risks associated with an investment in credit risk transfer securities are different than the risks associated with an investment in mortgage-backed securities issued by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, or other government sponsored entities or issued by a private issuer, because some or all of the mortgage default or credit risk associated with the underlying mortgage loans is transferred to investors. As a result, investors in these securities could lose some or all of their investment in these securities if the underlying mortgage loans default.
Privately Issued Mortgage-Related Securities Risk- MBS issued or guaranteed by private issuers is also known as "non-agency MBS". Privately issued mortgage-backed securities generally offer a higher rate of interest (but greater credit risk) than securities issued by U.S. Government issuers, as there are no direct or indirect governmental guarantees of payment. The degree of risks will depend significantly on the ability of borrowers to make payments on the underlying mortgages and the seniority of the security held by a Fund with respect to such payments. The market for privately-issued mortgage-backed securities is smaller and less liquid than the market for mortgage-backed securities issued by U.S. government issuers.
Sub-Prime Mortgage Risk- The risk that an issuer of a sub-prime mortgage security will default on its payments of interest or principal on a security when due is more pronounced in the case of sub-prime mortgage instruments than more highly ranked securities. Because of this increased risk, these securities may also be less liquid and subject to more pronounced declines in value than more highly rated instruments in times of market stress.
High Yield Risk- Fixed income securities that are rated below investment grade (i.e., "junk bonds") are subject to additional risk factors due to the speculative nature of the securities, such as increased possibility of default liquidation of the security, and changes in value based on public perception of the issuer.
Rule 144A Securities Risk - The market for Rule 144A securities typically is less active than the market for publicly-traded securities. Rule 144A securities carry the risk that the liquidity of these securities may become impaired, making it more difficult for a Fund to sell these securities.
NOTE 10 - CONTROL OWNERSHIP
The beneficial ownership, either directly or indirectly, of more than 25% of the voting securities of a fund creates a presumption of control of the fund, under Section 2(a)(9) of the 1940 Act. As of November 30, 2025, each Fund's percentage of control ownership positions greater than 25% are as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees
Advisors Series Trust and Shareholders of:
Medalist Partners MBS Total Return Fund
Medalist Partners Short Duration Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the Medalist Partners MBS Total Return Fund (formerly, Semper MBS Total Return Fund) and Medalist Partners Short Duration Fund (formerly, Semper Short Duration Fund) (the "Funds"), each a series of Advisors Series Trust (the "Trust"), including the schedules of investments, as of November 30, 2025, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five 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 the Funds as of November 30, 2025, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and their financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds' financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We have served as the auditor of one or more of the funds in the Trust since 2003.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds' internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of November 30, 2025 by correspondence with the custodian, private companies, and brokers; when replies from brokers were not received, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
