Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
SUMMARY OF RESULTS
The FPA Crescent Fund - Institutional Class ("Fund" or "Crescent") gained 3.09% in the trailing three months and 17.65% in the trailing twelve months ending December 31, 2025, on a net basis, which includes reinvestment of all distributions. The MSCI ACWI Index and the S&P 500 Index returns for the three-month period were 3.29% and 2.66%; and 22.34% and 17.88% for the trailing twelve-month period, respectively. The Fund is managed according to FPA's Contrarian Value Strategy, which seeks to invest in companies that currently appear out of favor or undervalued but have a favorable outlook for growth, in the portfolio manager's estimation, over 5-10 years. The portfolio managers conduct deep research into the underlying financial condition and prospects of individual companies, and select those whose securities are offered at a "substantial discount" to the portfolio managers' estimation of the company's worth or intrinsic value.
TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS*
TE Connectivity (TE) is a longtime holding that benefitted in 2025 from continued demand growth in several of the markets in which it sells into, including: AI infrastructure and data center connectivity; energy and grid update cycling; and industrial automation. TE also acquired Richards Manufacturing earlier in the year, which helped strengthen the company's competitive position in industrial and utility markets, and raised the dividend throughout 2025.
Safran was buoyed by robust aerospace and aftermarket parts demand, reporting record profits in early 2025 for the prior year. As global air traffic continued to recover and air carriers ramped up maintenance projects, the company enjoyed higher aftermarket growth and converted operational efficiency into higher earnings, leading management to raise full-year guidance for 2025.
TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS*
CarMax, the largest retailer of used cars in the US, has been a disappointment. We entered 2025 with hopes that an improved omnichannel offering in an improving used vehicle market would drive increased sales volumes, market share, and profit growth. Instead, we've watched management make a series of missteps. The company withdrew its 2030 unit sales targets at the beginning of the year, citing tariff-related uncertainty expected to have little impact five years from now-not particularly confidence-boosting, especially when their competitors retained their stated medium-term goals. Management mistakenly expected their strong fiscal first quarter to continue. They overbought inventory at elevated prices, which they were then forced to work through in the second quarter, causing them to lose market share. Investors have punished the company for its mistakes, and shares have declined by 53% in 2025. Despite our disappointment in management's execution, the company's share price appears inexpensive to us. Two independent directors of Carmax bought shares in early October, which could signal that they share a similar outlook to ours. The company also increased its share repurchase program, though we wish they would have held off on repurchases until the market was aware of the current disappointing news. We still believe that CarMax has built a differentiated used vehicle retail business and could see substantial share price improvement if the company rights itself, but operational execution needs to significantly improve.
International Flavors & Fragrances has been plagued with poor management for years. As a leading producer of food, beverage, scent, home and personal care, and health products and ingredients, its products are ubiquitous across many household staples. They produce one-third of probiotics, the enzyme used in half of cold-water laundry detergents, another enzyme used in 20% of the beer brewed globally, and one-third of yogurts use an IFF culture, to name a few. Prior management's reckless capital allocation and ineptitude at managing its diverse global enterprise, transforming a high-margin, unlevered company into one with a lower margin and a higher level of leverage. We have a constructive view of the new CEO, who has renewed the company's focus on being a best-in-class operationally with a smaller product suite. They have sold, and will continue to sell, non-core assets, which will decrease their leverage and, hopefully, allow for higher margins. The company has burned the market, and many investors have taken a wait-and-see attitude reasonably.

Investor Class commenced operations on April 30, 2024. The performance figures for Investor Class shares include the performance for the Institutional Class shares for the periods prior to the inception date of Investor Class shares, adjusted for the difference in Institutional Class shares and Investor Class shares expenses. Investor Class shares impose higher expenses than Institutional Class shares. Since Investor Class shares have higher expenses and are therefore more expensive than Institutional Class shares, the returns for Investor Class shares will be lower than the returns shown for Institutional Class shares.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance
How did the Fund perform over the reporting period?
For the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2025, the FPA Flexible Fixed Income Fund's Institutional Class ("Fund") net return was 7.23%, which includes reinvestment of all distributions.
What affected the Fund's performance?
During the 12 months ending December 31, 2025, Treasury yields decreased between 7-77 basis points for maturities less than 30 years. Spreads on investment grade and high yield rated debt decreased. Due to low spreads, we largely focused on buying longer-duration, High Quality bonds (rated single-A or higher) which we believe will enhance both the Fund's long-term returns and short-term upside-versus-downside return profile. Over the past 12 months, the Fund's duration has ranged from 3.3 years to 3.5 years. We seek to opportunistically invest in Credit when we believe prices adequately compensate for the risk of permanent impairment of capital and near-term mark-to-market risk. The Fund's exposure to investments rated BBB or lower decreased as decreasing spreads in that part of the market generally made these investments unattractive.
Fund performance can be attributed to the following:[1]
The largest contributors to performance during the 12 months ending December 31, 2025:
• Agency-guaranteed residential mortgage pools driven by price increase due to lower benchmark yields and spreads; interest income; and amortization of principal
• U.S. Treasuries due to interest income and price increase due to lower benchmark yields
• Agency-guaranteed commercial mortgage-backed securities driven by price increase due to lower benchmark yields and spreads; and interest income
Although certain individual bonds detracted from performance during the year, there were no meaningful detractors at the sector level.

* Non-income producing security.
(a) Bank loans generally pay interest at rates which are periodically determined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. All loans carry a variable rate of interest. These base lending rates are generally (i) the Prime Rate offered by one or more major United States banks, (ii) the lending rate offered by one or more European banks such as the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), (iii) the Certificate of Deposit rate, or (iv) Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). Bank Loans, while exempt from registration, under the Securities Act of 1933, contain certain restrictions on resale and cannot be sold publicly. Floating rate bank loans often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy.
(b) Restricted securities. These restricted securities, most of which are considered liquid by the Adviser, are not registered and may not be sold to the public. There are legal and/or contractual restrictions on resale. The Fund does not have the right to demand that such securities be registered. The values of these securities are determined by valuations provided by pricing services, brokers, dealers, market makers, or in good faith under policies adopted by authority of the Fund's Board of Trustees. The total value of these securities is $325,835,918, which represents 2.74% of Total Net Assets.
(c) Variable or floating rate security.
(d) Affiliated company.

(f) The value of these securities was determined using significant unobservable inputs. These are reported as Level 3 securities in the Fair Value Hierarchy.
(g) All or a portion of the loan is unfunded.
(h) Payment-in-kind interest is generally paid by issuing additional par/shares of the security rather than paying cash.
(i) Perpetual security. Maturity date is not applicable.
(j) Investment valued using net asset value per share (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient.
(k) The rate is the annualized seven-day yield at period end.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2025

Note 1 - Organization

FPA Crescent Fund (the "Fund"), is a diversified series of Investment Managers Series Trust III (the "Trust") which is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). The Fund's investment objective is to seek to generate equity-like returns over the long-term, take less risk than the market and avoid permanent impairment of capital. First Pacific Advisors, LP (the "Adviser"), has served as the Fund's investment adviser since March 1, 1996.

The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 "Financial Services- Investment Companies".

The Fund is deemed to be an individual reporting segment and is not part of a consolidated reporting entity. The objective and strategy of the Fund is used by the Adviser to make investment decisions, and the results of the operations, as shown on the Statements of Operations and the financial highlights for the Fund is the information utilized for the day-to-day management of the Fund. The Fund is party to the expense agreements as disclosed in the Notes to the Financial Statements and there are no resources allocated to a Fund based on performance measurements. The management of the Fund's Adviser is deemed to be the Chief Operating Decision Maker with respect to the Fund's investment decisions.

Note 2 - Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

(a) Valuation of Investments

The Fund values equity securities at the last reported sale price on the principal exchange or in the principal over the counter ("OTC") market in which such securities are traded, as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE on the day the securities are being valued or, if the last-quoted sales price is not readily available, the securities will be valued at the last bid or the mean between the last available bid and ask price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP"). Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at the daily closing net asset value of the respective investment company. Debt securities are valued by utilizing a price supplied by independent pricing service providers. The independent pricing service providers may use various valuation methodologies including matrix pricing and other analytical pricing models as well as market transactions and dealer quotations. These models generally consider such factors as yields or prices of bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity, ratings and general market conditions. If a price is not readily available for a portfolio security, the security will be valued at fair value (the amount which the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale). The Board of Directors has designated the Adviser as the Fund's valuation designee (the "Valuation Designee") to make all fair value determinations with respect to the Fund's portfolio investments, subject to the Board's oversight. As the Valuation Designee, the Adviser has adopted and implemented policies and procedures to be followed when the Fund must utilize fair value pricing.

(b) Investment Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses

Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded net of applicable withholding taxes on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if applicable, are paid (a portion of which may be reclaimable) or provided for in accordance with the applicable country's tax rules and rates and are disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Withholding tax reclaims are filed in certain countries to recover a portion of the amounts previously withheld. The Fund records a reclaim receivable based on a number of factors, including a jurisdiction's legal obligation to pay reclaims as well as payment history and market convention. Discounts on debt securities are accreted or amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Premiums for callable debt securities are amortized to the earliest call date, if the call price was less than the purchase price. If the call price was not at par and the security was not called, the security is amortized to the next call price and date. Income and expenses of the Fund are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class of shares relative net assets, except for distribution and service fees which are unique to each class of shares relative net assets. Expenses incurred by the Trust with respect to more than one fund are allocated in proportion to the net assets of each fund except where allocation of direct expenses to each fund or an alternative allocation method can be more appropriately made.

(c) Mortgage-Backed Securities

The Fund may invest in mortgage-backed securities ("MBS"), representing direct or indirect interests in pools of underlying residential or commercial mortgage loans that are secured by real property. These securities provide investors with payments consisting of both principal and interest as the mortgages in the underlying mortgage pools are paid.

The timely payment of principal and interest (but not the market value) on MBS issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae (formally known as the Government National Mortgage Association or GNMA) is backed by Ginnie Mae and the full faith and credit of the US government. Obligations issued by Fannie Mae (formally known as the Federal National Mortgage Association or FNMA) and Freddie Mac (formally known as the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation or FHLMC) are historically supported only by the credit of the issuer, but currently are guaranteed by the US government in connection with such agencies being placed temporarily into conservatorship by the US government. Some MBS are sponsored or issued by private entities. Payments of principal and interest (but not the market value) of such private MBS may be supported by pools of residential or commercial mortgage loans or other MBS that are guaranteed, directly or indirectly, by the US government or one of its agencies or instrumentalities, or they may be issued without any government guarantee of the underlying mortgage assets but may contain some form of non-government credit enhancement.

Collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMO") are a type of MBS. A CMO is a debt security that may be collateralized by whole mortgage loans or mortgage pass-through securities. The mortgage loans or mortgage pass-through securities are divided into classes or tranches with each class having its own characteristics. Investors typically receive payments out of the interest and principal on the underlying mortgages. The portions of these payments that investors receive, as well as the priority of their rights to receive payments, are determined by the specific terms of the CMO class.

The yield characteristics of MBS differ from those of traditional debt securities. Among the major differences are that interest and principal payments are made more frequently, usually monthly, and that principal may be prepaid at any time because the underlying mortgage loans or other obligations generally may be prepaid at any time. Prepayments on a pool of mortgage loans are influenced by a variety of economic, geographic, social and other factors. Generally, prepayments on fixed-rate mortgage loans will increase during a period of falling interest rates and decrease during a period of rising interest rates. Certain classes of CMOs and other MBS are structured in a manner that makes them extremely sensitive to changes in prepayment rates.

(d) Asset-Backed Securities

Asset-backed securities include pools of mortgages, loans, receivables or other assets. Payment of principal and interest may be largely dependent upon the cash flows generated by the assets backing the securities, and, in certain cases, supported by letters of credit, surety bonds, or other credit enhancements. The value of asset-backed securities may also be affected by the creditworthiness of the servicing agent for the pool, the originator of the loans or receivables, or the financial institution(s) providing the credit support. In addition, asset-backed securities are not backed by any governmental agency.

FPA Crescent Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued

December 31, 2025

Collateralized Debt Obligations ("CDOs") include Collateralized Bond Obligations ("CBOs"), Collateralized Loan Obligations ("CLOs") and other similarly structured securities. CBOs and CLOs are types of asset backed securities. A CBO is a trust which is backed by a diversified pool of high risk, below investment grade fixed income securities. A CLO is a trust typically collateralized by a pool of loans, which may include, among others, domestic and foreign senior secured loans, senior unsecured loans, and subordinate corporate loans, including loans that may be rated below investment grade or equivalent unrated loans. The risks of an investment in a CDO depend largely on the type of the collateral securities and the class of the CDO in which a Fund invests. CDOs carry additional risks including, but not limited to, (i) the possibility that distributions from collateral securities will not be adequate to make interest or other payments, (ii) the collateral may decline in value or default, (iii) a Fund may invest in CDOs that are subordinate to other classes, and (iv) the complex structure of the security may not be fully understood at the time of investment and may produce disputes with the issuer or unexpected investment results.

(e) Stripped Mortgage-Backed Interest Only ("I/O") and Principal Only ("P/O") Securities

Stripped mortgage-backed securities are usually structured with two classes that receive different proportions of the interest and principal distributions on a pool of mortgage assets. In certain cases, one class will receive all of the interest payments on the underlying mortgages (the I/O class), while the other class will receive all of the principal payments (the P/O class). The Fund currently has investments in I/O securities. The yield to maturity on I/Os is sensitive to the rate of principal repayments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets, and principal payments may have a material effect on yield-to-maturity. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, a Fund may not fully recoup its initial investment in I/Os.

(f) Credit Risk

Debt securities are subject to credit risk, meaning that the issuer of the debt security may default or fail to make timely payments of principal or interest. The values of any of the Fund's investments may also decline in response to events affecting the issuer or its credit rating. The lower rated debt securities in which the Fund may invest are considered speculative and are generally subject to greater volatility and risk of loss than investment grade securities, particularly in deteriorating economic conditions. The Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in securities of issuers that hold mortgage-and asset-backed securities and direct investments in securities backed by commercial and residential mortgage loans and other financial assets. The value and related income of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults. Continuing shifts in the market's perception of credit quality on securities backed by commercial and residential mortgage loans and other financial assets may result in increased volatility of market price and periods of illiquidity that can negatively impact the valuation of certain securities held by the Fund.

(g) Special Purpose Acquisition Companies

The Fund may invest in stock, warrants, and other securities of special purpose acquisition companies ("SPACs") or similar special purpose entities that pool funds to seek potential acquisition opportunities. Because SPACs and similar entities are in essence blank check companies without operating history or ongoing business other than seeking acquisitions, the value of their securities is particularly dependent on the ability of the entity's management to identify and complete a profitable acquisition. An investment in a SPAC is subject to a variety of risks, including that (i) a portion of the monies raised by the SPAC for the purpose of effecting an acquisition or merger may be expended prior to the transaction for payment of taxes and other purposes; (ii) prior to any acquisition or merger, a SPAC's assets are typically invested in government securities, money market funds and similar investments whose returns or yields may be significantly lower than those of the Fund's other investments; (iii) the Fund generally will not receive significant income from its investments in SPACs (both prior to and after any acquisition or merger) and, therefore, the Fund's investments in SPACs will not significantly contribute to the Fund's distributions to shareholders; (iv) an attractive acquisition or merger target may not be identified at all, in which case the SPAC will be required to return any remaining monies to shareholders; (v) if an acquisition or merger target is identified, the Fund may elect not to participate in the proposed transaction or the Fund may be required to divest its interests in the SPAC due to regulatory or other considerations, in which case the warrants or other rights with respect to the SPAC held by the Fund may expire worthless or may be repurchased or retired by the SPAC at an unfavorable price; (vi) any proposed merger or acquisition may be unable to obtain the requisite approval, if any, of SPAC shareholders; (vii) under any circumstances in which the Fund receives a refund of all or a portion of its original investment (which typically represents a pro rata share of the proceeds of the SPAC's assets, less any applicable taxes), the returns on that investment may be negligible, and the Fund may be subject to opportunity costs to the extent that alternative investments would have produced higher returns; (viii) to the extent an acquisition or merger is announced or completed, shareholders who redeem their shares prior to that time may not reap any resulting benefits; (ix) the Fund may be delayed in receiving any redemption or liquidation proceeds from a SPAC to which it is entitled; (x) an acquisition or merger once effected may prove unsuccessful and an investment in the SPAC may lose value; (xi) an investment in a SPAC may be diluted by additional later offerings of interests in the SPAC or by other investors exercising existing rights to purchase shares of the SPAC; (xii) only a thinly traded market for shares of or interests in a SPAC may develop, or there may be no market at all, leaving the Fund unable to sell its interest in a SPAC or to sell its interest only at a price below what the Fund believes is the SPAC interest's intrinsic value; and (xiii) the values of investments in SPACs may be highly volatile and may depreciate significantly over time. There were no Private Investment in Public Equity ("PIPE") share purchase commitments for the SPACs the Fund invested in as of December 31, 2025.

(h) Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the quoted bid and ask prices of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange prevailing when such securities were acquired or sold. Income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at rates of exchange prevailing when accrued.

Net realized gain or loss on foreign currency transactions represents foreign exchange gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign fixed income investments, holding of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on foreign investment 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 amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized currency gains and losses from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities at year-end exchange rates are reflected as a component of net unrealized appreciation or depreciation of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.

(i) Illiquid Securities

Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted a Liquidity Risk Management Program ("LRMP") that requires, among other things, that the Fund limits its illiquid investments that are assets to no more than 15% of net assets. An illiquid investment is any security which may not reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. If the Adviser, at any time determines that the value of illiquid securities held by the Fund exceeds 15% of its net asset value, the Adviser will take such steps as it considers appropriate to reduce them as soon as reasonably practicable in accordance with the Fund's written LRMP.

(j) Use of Estimates

The presentation 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 and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(k) Federal Income Taxes

The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their net investment income and any net realized gains to their shareholders. Therefore, no provision is made for federal income or excise taxes. Due to the timing of dividend distributions and the differences in accounting for income and realized gains and losses for financial statement and federal income tax purposes, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the income and realized gains and losses are recorded by the Fund.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (the "Income Tax Statement") requires an evaluation of tax positions taken (or expected to be taken) in the course of preparing a Fund's tax returns to determine whether these positions meet a "more-likely-than-not" standard that, based on the technical merits, have a more than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained by a taxing authority upon examination. A tax position that meets the "more-likely-than-not" recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations.

The Income Tax Statement requires management of the Fund to analyze tax positions taken in the prior three open tax years, if any, and tax positions expected to be taken in the Fund's current tax year, as defined by the IRS statute of limitations for all major jurisdictions, including federal tax authorities and certain state tax authorities. As of December 31, 2025, and during the prior three open tax years, the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund has no examinations in progress and is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

(l) Distributions to Shareholders

The Fund will make distributions of net investment income and net capital gains, if any, at least annually. 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 GAAP.

The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from the characterization for federal income tax purposes due to differences in the recognition of income, expense and gain (loss) items for financial statement and tax purposes.

Note 3 - Investment Advisory and Other Agreements

The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Agreement") with the Adviser. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Fund pays a monthly investment advisory fee to the Adviser at the annual rate of 0.93% plus class-specific administrative service fee of 0.07%, 0.07% and 0.01% of the Fund's average daily net assets for the Institutional Class, Investor Class and Supra Institutional Class, respectively.

These agreements may only be terminated earlier by the Fund's Board of Trustees (the "Board") or upon termination of the Advisory Agreement. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Adviser waived a portion of its advisory fees totaling $2,503,361.

UMB Fund Services, Inc. ("UMBFS") serves as the Fund's fund accountant, transfer agent and co-administrator; and Mutual Fund Administration, LLC ("MFAC") serves as the Fund's other co-administrator. UMB Bank, n.a., an affiliate of UMBFS, serves as the Fund's custodian. The Fund's allocated fees incurred for fund accounting, fund administration, transfer agency and custody services for the year ended December 31, 2025 are reported as Fund services fees on the Statement of Operations.

Distribution Services, LLC, serves as the Fund's distributor (the "Distributor"). The Distributor does not receive compensation from the Fund for its distribution services; The Adviser pays the Distributor a fee for its distribution-related services.

Certain trustees and officers of the Trust are employees of UMBFS, MFAC or Adviser. The Fund does not compensate trustees and officers affiliated with the Fund's Adviser or co-administrators. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Fund's allocated fees incurred to Trustees of the Trust who are not "interested persons" of the Trust, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act (collectively, the "Independent Trustees") are reported on the Statement of Operations.

The Fund's Board of Trustees has adopted a Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan") for the Independent Trustees that enables Trustees to elect to receive payment in cash or the option to defer some or all of their fees. If a trustee elects to defer payment, the Plan provides for the creation of a deferred payment account. A Trustee's deferred fees are deemed to be invested in designated mutual funds available under the Plan. The Fund's liability for these amounts is adjusted for market value changes in the invested fund and remains a liability to the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The Trustees Deferred compensation liability under the Plan constitutes a general unsecured obligation of the Fund and is disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Contributions made under the plan and the change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation and income are included in the Trustees' fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations.

Dziura Compliance Consulting, LLC provides Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO") services to the Trust. The Fund's allocated fees incurred for CCO services for the year ended December 31, 2025, are reported on the Statement of Operations.

Note 4 -Redemption Liquidity Service Fees

The Fund may participate in "Liquidity Programs" or "Programs" offered by independent third-party service providers, which are designed to provide an alternative liquidity source when conducting normal business activities. Under the programs, cash is provided to the Fund to meet net shareowner redemptions, manage and optimize portfolio composition, offset transaction costs, and/or more efficiently manage the portfolio. Following purchases of Fund shares, the programs then generally redeem those shares when the Fund experiences net sales, at the end of a maximum holding period ranging from 2 to 8 days or at other times at the discretion of the program or the Adviser. During the period that a third party holds the Fund's shares through a Program, the third party will have the same rights and privileges with respect to those shares as any other shareholder. A third party that invests in the Fund through a Program does so on an investment-blind basis without regard to the Fund's objective, policies, or anticipated performance. The third party purchases shares of the Fund at net asset value and is not subject to the Fund's investment minimums or the limitations noted under "Excessive Trading and Market Timing" section contained in the Prospectus.

For use of certain services, the Fund pays a fee calculated by applying a fee rate to the purchase amount determined through an automated daily auction. The current minimum fee rate is 0.14% of the value of the Fund shares purchased, although the Fund may submit a bid at a higher fee rate if it determines that doing so is in the best interest of Fund shareowners. In accordance with federal securities laws, certain providers are prohibited from acquiring more than 3% of the outstanding voting securities of a Fund, while others are prohibited from acquiring more than 5%. The providers will periodically redeem their entire share position in the Fund and request that such redemption be met in kind in accordance with the Fund's in-kind redemption policies. There is no assurance that these programs will have sufficient funds available to meet the Funds' liquidity needs on a particular day. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the fees associated with these programs are disclosed in the Statement of Operations within redemption liquidity service fees.

Note 5 - Securities Sold Short

The Fund maintains cash deposits and segregates marketable securities in amounts equal to the current fair value of the securities sold short or the fair value of the securities at the time they were sold short, whichever is greater. The Fund considers cash deposits held in connection with securities sold short to be restricted cash. The restriction will lapse when the related short positions are terminated. Possible losses from short sales may be unlimited, whereas losses from purchases cannot exceed the total amount invested. The dividends on securities sold short are reflected as short sale dividend expense.

Note 6 - Federal Income Taxes

At December 31, 2025, gross unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of investments, based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

Cost of investments $ 8,842,039,500
Gross unrealized appreciation $ 3,397,959,280
Gross unrealized depreciation (397,202,215 )
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) $ 3,000,757,065

The difference between cost amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes is due primarily to timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses in security transactions.

GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. For the year ended December 31, 2025, permanent differences in book and tax have been reclassified to paid-in capital and total distributable earnings/(deficit) as follows:

Increase (Decrease)
Paid-in Capital Total accumulated earnings/(deficit)
$ 607,730,051 $ (607,730,051 )

Note 9 - Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Note 10 - Commitments and Contingencies

The Fund may enter into unfunded loan commitments. Unfunded loan commitments may be partially or wholly unfunded. During the contractual period, the Fund is obliged to provide funding to the borrower upon demand.

Unfunded loan commitments are fair valued in accordance with the valuation policy described in Note 2(a) and unrealized appreciation or depreciation, if any, is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

As of December 31, 2025, the Fund had the following unfunded loan commitments outstanding:

Note 11 - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. It also provides guidance on determining when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or a liability, when a transaction is not orderly, and how that information must be incorporated into a fair value measurement.

Under Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments. These inputs are summarized into three broad Levels as described below:

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.

Note 13 - Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities

Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. The guidance requires retrospective application for all comparative periods presented.

A Fund mitigates credit risk with respect to OTC derivative counterparties through credit support annexes included with International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreements or other Master Netting Agreements which are the standard contracts governing most derivative transactions between the Fund and each of its counterparties. These agreements allow the Fund and each counterparty to offset certain derivative financial instruments' payables and/or receivables against each other and/or with collateral, which is generally held by the Fund's custodian. The amount of collateral moved to/from applicable counterparties is based upon minimum transfer amounts specified in the agreement. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty non-performance.

The Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities presents financial instruments on a gross basis, therefore there are no net amounts and no offset amounts within the Statement of Assets and Liabilities to present below. Gross amounts of the financial instruments, amounts related to financial instruments/cash collateral not offset in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and net amounts are presented below:

Note 14 - Investments in Affiliated Issuers

An affiliated issuer is an entity in which the Fund has ownership of a least 5% of the voting securities. Issuers that are affiliates of the Fund at period-end are noted in the Fund's Schedule of Investments. Additional security purchases and the reduction of certain securities shares outstanding of existing portfolio holdings that were not considered affiliated in prior years may result in the Fund owning in excess of 5% of the outstanding shares at period-end. The table below reflects transactions during the period with entities that are affiliates as of December 31, 2025 and may include acquisitions of new investments, prior year holdings that became affiliated during the period and prior period affiliated holdings that are no longer affiliated as of period-end:

Note 16 - Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risks

Certain local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness and/or other public health issues, financial institution instability or other events may have a significant impact on a security or instrument. These types of events and other like them are collectively referred to as "Market Disruptions and Geopolitical Risks" and they may have adverse impacts on the worldwide economy, as well as the economies of individual countries, the financial health of individual companies and the market in general in significant and unforeseen ways. Some of the impacts noted in recent times include but are not limited to embargos, political actions, supply chain disruptions, tariffs, bank failures, restrictions to investment and/or monetary movement including the forced selling of securities or the inability to participate impacted markets. The duration of these events could adversely affect the Funds' performance, the performance of the securities in which the Funds invest and may lead to losses on your investment. The ultimate impact of "Market Disruptions and Geopolitical Risks" on the financial performance of the Funds' investments is not reasonably estimable at this time. Management is actively monitoring these events.

FPA Crescent Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued

December 31, 2025

Note 17 - New Accounting Pronouncements

In the reporting period, the Fund adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which enhances income tax disclosures, including disclosure income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. Adoption of the new standard did not materially impact financial statement disclosures and did not affect the Fund's financial position or the results of its operations.

Note 18 - Events Subsequent to the Fiscal Period End

The Fund has adopted financial reporting rules regarding subsequent events which require an entity to recognize in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet. Management has evaluated the Fund's related events and transactions that occurred through the date of issuance of the Fund's financial statements.

On July 15, 2025, the Board of Trustees approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan") for the reorganization of the Centerstone Investors Fund, a series of Northern Lights Fund Trust III (the "Acquired Fund"), into the FPA Crescent Fund (the "Acquiring Fund"). The Plan provides for the transfer of all of the assets of the Acquired Fund to the Acquiring Fund in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund and the assumption of all of the liabilities of the Acquired Fund by the Acquiring Fund, and the distribution of the Acquiring Fund's shares received by such Acquired Fund to its shareholders in complete liquidation of the Acquired Fund (the "Reorganization"). The Reorganization of the Acquired Fund generally is not expected to result in the recognition of gain or loss by the Acquired Fund or its shareholders for federal income tax purposes. The reorganization was effective as of the close of business on January 9, 2026.

There were no other events or transactions that occurred during this period that materially impacted the amounts or disclosures in the Fund's financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Trustees

and the Shareholders of the FPA Crescent Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the FPA Crescent Fund (the "Fund"), a series of Investment Managers Series Trust III, including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2025, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the three 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 Fund as of December 31, 2025, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The financial highlights for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022, were audited by other auditors, whose report dated March 1, 2023 expressed unqualified opinions on those financial highlights.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's 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 Fund 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 the Fund since 2023.

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. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's 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 December 31, 2025 by correspondence with the custodian, agent banks, brokers, and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

* Non-income producing security.
(a) Security exempt from registration under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933. These securities are restricted and may be resold in transactions exempt from registration normally to qualified institutional buyers. The total value of these securities is $498,680,811, which represents 25.71% of Total Net Assets.
(b) Variable or floating rate security.
(c) Bank loans generally pay interest at rates which are periodically determined by reference to a base lending rate plus a premium. All loans carry a variable rate of interest. These base lending rates are generally (i) the Prime Rate offered by one or more major United States banks, (ii) the lending rate offered by one or more European banks such as the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), (iii) the Certificate of Deposit rate, or (iv) Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). Bank Loans, while exempt from registration, under the Securities Act of 1933, contain certain restrictions on resale and cannot be sold publicly. Floating rate bank loans often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy.
(d) The value of these securities was determined using significant unobservable inputs. These are reported as Level 3 securities in the Fair Value Hierarchy.
(e) Restricted securities. These restricted securities, most of which are considered liquid by the Adviser, are not registered and may not be sold to the public. There are legal and/or contractual restrictions on resale. The Fund does not have the right to demand that such securities be registered. The values of these securities are determined by valuations provided by pricing services, brokers, dealers, market makers, or in good faith under policies adopted by authority of the Fund's Board of Trustees. The total value of these securities is $18,932,787, which represents 0.98% of Total Net Assets.
(f) Security is in default.
(g) As of December 31, 2025, the Fund had entered into commitments to fund various delayed draw debt-related investments. Such commitments are subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the documents governing those investments and there can be no assurance that such conditions will be satisfied. See Note 8 of the Notes to Financial Statements for further information on these commitments and contingencies.
(h) All or a portion of the loan is unfunded.
(i) Payment-in-kind interest is generally paid by issuing additional par/shares of the security rather than paying cash.
(j) The rate is the annualized seven-day yield at period end.
(k) Treasury bill discount rate.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2025

Note 1 - Organization

FPA Flexible Fixed Income Fund (the "Fund"), is a diversified series of Investment Managers Series Trust III (the "Trust") which is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"). The Fund's primary investment objective is to seek long-term total return, which includes income and capital appreciation, while considering capital preservation. First Pacific Advisors, LP (the "Adviser") has served as the Fund's investment adviser since December 31, 2018.

The Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 "Financial Services- Investment Companies".

The Fund is deemed to be an individual reporting segment and is not part of a consolidated reporting entity. The objective and strategy of the Fund is used by the Adviser to make investment decisions, and the results of the operations, as shown on the Statements of Operations and the financial highlights for the Fund is the information utilized for the day-to-day management of the Fund. The Fund is party to the expense agreements as disclosed in the Notes to the Financial Statements and there are no resources allocated to a Fund based on performance measurements. The management of the Fund's Adviser is deemed to be the Chief Operating Decision Maker with respect to the Fund's investment decisions.

Note 2 - Accounting Policies

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

(a) Valuation of Investments

The Fund values equity securities at the last reported sale price on the principal exchange or in the principal over the counter ("OTC") market in which such securities are traded, as of the close of regular trading on the NYSE on the day the securities are being valued or, if the last-quoted sales price is not readily available, the securities will be valued at the last bid or the mean between the last available bid and ask price. Securities traded on the NASDAQ are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price ("NOCP"). Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at the daily closing net asset value of the respective investment company. Debt securities are valued by utilizing a price supplied by independent pricing service providers. The independent pricing service providers may use various valuation methodologies including matrix pricing and other analytical pricing models as well as market transactions and dealer quotations. These models generally consider such factors as yields or prices of bonds of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity, ratings and general market conditions. If a price is not readily available for a portfolio security, the security will be valued at fair value (the amount which the Fund might reasonably expect to receive for the security upon its current sale). The Board of Trustees has designated the Adviser as the Fund's valuation designee (the "Valuation Designee") to make all fair value determinations with respect to the Fund's portfolio investments, subject to the Board's oversight. As the Valuation Designee, the Adviser has adopted and implemented policies and procedures to be followed when the Fund must utilize fair value pricing.

(b) Investment Transactions, Investment Income and Expenses

Investment transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on investments are determined on the identified cost basis. Dividend income is recorded net of applicable withholding taxes on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if applicable, are paid (a portion of which may be reclaimable) or provided for in accordance with the applicable country's tax rules and rates and are disclosed in the Statement of Operations. Withholding tax reclaims are filed in certain countries to recover a portion of the amounts previously withheld. The Fund records a reclaim receivable based on a number of factors, including a jurisdiction's legal obligation to pay reclaims as well as payment history and market convention. Discounts on debt securities are accreted or amortized to interest income over the lives of the respective securities using the effective interest method. Premiums for callable debt securities are amortized to the earliest call date if the call price was less than the purchase price. If the call price was not at par and the security was not called, the security is amortized to the next call price and date. Income and expenses of the Fund are allocated on a pro rata basis to each class of shares relative net assets, except for distribution and service fees which are unique to each class of shares relative net assets. Expenses incurred by the Trust with respect to more than one fund are allocated in proportion to the net assets of each fund except where allocation of direct expenses to each fund or an alternative allocation method can be more appropriately made.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

December 31, 2025

(c) Mortgage-Backed Securities

The Fund may invest in mortgage-backed securities ("MBS"), representing direct or indirect interests in pools of underlying residential or commercial mortgage loans that are secured by real property. These securities provide investors with payments consisting of both principal and interest as the mortgages in the underlying mortgage pools are paid.

The timely payment of principal and interest (but not the market value) on MBS issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae (formally known as the Government National Mortgage Association or GNMA) is backed by Ginnie Mae and the full faith and credit of the US government. Obligations issued by Fannie Mae (formally known as the Federal National Mortgage Association or FNMA) and Freddie Mac (formally known as the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation or FHLMC) are historically supported only by the credit of the issuer, but currently are guaranteed by the US government in connection with such agencies being placed temporarily into conservatorship by the US government.

Some MBS are sponsored or issued by private entities. Payments of principal and interest (but not the market value) of such private MBS may be supported by pools of residential or commercial mortgage loans or other MBS that are guaranteed, directly or indirectly, by the US government or one of its agencies or instrumentalities, or they may be issued without any government guarantee of the underlying mortgage assets but may contain some form of non-government credit enhancement.

Collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMO") are a type of MBS. A CMO is a debt security that may be collateralized by whole mortgage loans or mortgage pass-through securities. The mortgage loans or mortgage pass-through securities are divided into classes or tranches with each class having its own characteristics. Investors typically receive payments out of the interest and principal on the underlying mortgages. The portions of these payments that investors receive, as well as the priority of their rights to receive payments, are determined by the specific terms of the CMO class.

The yield characteristics of MBS differ from those of traditional debt securities. Among the major differences are that interest and principal payments are made more frequently, usually monthly, and that principal may be prepaid at any time because the underlying mortgage loans or other obligations generally may be prepaid at any time. Prepayments on a pool of mortgage loans are influenced by a variety of economic, geographic, social and other factors. Generally, prepayments on fixed-rate mortgage loans will increase during a period of falling interest rates and decrease during a period of rising interest rates. Certain classes of CMOs and other MBS are structured in a manner that makes them extremely sensitive to changes in prepayment rates.

(d) Asset-Backed Securities

Asset-backed securities include pools of mortgages, loans, receivables or other assets. Payment of principal and interest may be largely dependent upon the cash flows generated by the assets backing the securities, and, in certain cases, supported by letters of credit, surety bonds, or other credit enhancements. The value of asset-backed securities may also be affected by the creditworthiness of the servicing agent for the pool, the originator of the loans or receivables, or the financial institution(s) providing the credit support. In addition, asset-backed securities are not backed by any governmental agency.

24

FPA Flexible Fixed Income Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

December 31, 2025

Collateralized Debt Obligations ("CDOs") include Collateralized Bond Obligations ("CBOs"), Collateralized Loan Obligations ("CLOs") and other similarly structured securities. CBOs and CLOs are types of asset backed securities. A CBO is a trust which is backed by a diversified pool of high risk, below investment grade fixed income securities. A CLO is a trust typically collateralized by a pool of loans, which may include, among others, domestic and foreign senior secured loans, senior unsecured loans, and subordinate corporate loans, including loans that may be rated below investment grade or equivalent unrated loans. The risks of an investment in a CDO depend largely on the type of the collateral securities and the class of the CDO in which a Fund invests. CDOs carry additional risks including, but not limited to, (i) the possibility that distributions from collateral securities will not be adequate to make interest or other payments, (ii) the collateral may decline in value or default, (iii) a Fund may invest in CDOs that are subordinate to other classes, and (iv) the complex structure of the security may not be fully understood at the time of investment and may produce disputes with the issuer or unexpected investment results.

(e) Stripped Mortgage-Backed Interest Only ("I/O") and Principal Only ("P/O") Securities

Stripped mortgage-backed securities are usually structured with two classes that receive different proportions of the interest and principal distributions on a pool of mortgage assets. In certain cases, one class will receive all of the interest payments on the underlying mortgages (the I/O class), while the other class will receive all of the principal payments (the P/O class). The Fund currently has investments in I/O securities. The yield to maturity on I/Os is sensitive to the rate of principal repayments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets, and principal payments may have a material effect on yield-to-maturity. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, a Fund may not fully recoup its initial investment in I/Os.

(f) Credit Risk

Debt securities are subject to credit risk, meaning that the issuer of the debt security may default or fail to make timely payments of principal or interest. The values of any of the Fund's investments may also decline in response to events affecting the issuer or its credit rating. The lower rated debt securities in which the Fund may invest are considered speculative and are generally subject to greater volatility and risk of loss than investment grade securities, particularly in deteriorating economic conditions. The Fund invests a significant portion of its assets in securities of issuers that hold mortgage-and asset-backed securities and direct investments in securities backed by commercial and residential mortgage loans and other financial assets. The value and related income of these securities is sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including delinquencies and/or defaults. Continuing shifts in the market's perception of credit quality on securities backed by commercial and residential mortgage loans and other financial assets may result in increased volatility of market price and periods of illiquidity that can negatively impact the valuation of certain securities held by the Fund.

(g) Currency Translation

Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the mean of the quoted bid and ask prices of such currencies against the U.S. dollar. Purchases and sales of portfolio securities are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange prevailing when such securities were acquired or sold. Income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at rates of exchange prevailing when accrued.

Net realized gain or loss on foreign currency transactions represents foreign exchange gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign fixed income investments, holding of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on foreign investment 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 amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized currency gains and losses from valuing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities at year-end exchange rates are reflected as a component of net unrealized appreciation or depreciation of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

December 31, 2025

(h) Illiquid Securities

Pursuant to Rule 22e-4 under the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted a Liquidity Risk Management Program ("LRMP") that requires, among other things, that the Fund limits its illiquid investments that are assets to no more than 15% of net assets. An illiquid investment is any security which may not reasonably be expected to be sold or disposed of in current market conditions in seven calendar days or less without the sale or disposition significantly changing the market value of the investment. If the Adviser, at any time determines that the value of illiquid securities held by the Fund exceeds 15% of its net asset value, the Adviser will take such steps as it considers appropriate to reduce them as soon as reasonably practicable in accordance with the Fund's written LRMP.

(i) Use of Estimates

The presentation 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 and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(j) Federal Income Taxes

The Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their net investment income and any net realized gains to their shareholders. Therefore, no provision is made for federal income or excise taxes. Due to the timing of dividend distributions and the differences in accounting for income and realized gains and losses for financial statement and federal income tax purposes, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the year in which the income and realized gains and losses are recorded by the Fund.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (the "Income Tax Statement") requires an evaluation of tax positions taken (or expected to be taken) in the course of preparing a Fund's tax returns to determine whether these positions meet a "more-likely-than-not" standard that, based on the technical merits, have a more than fifty percent likelihood of being sustained by a taxing authority upon examination. A tax position that meets the "more-likely-than-not" recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statement of Operations.

The Income Tax Statement requires management of the Fund to analyze tax positions taken in the prior three open tax years, if any, and tax positions expected to be taken in the Fund's current tax year, as defined by the IRS statute of limitations for all major jurisdictions, including federal tax authorities and certain state tax authorities. As of December 31, 2025, and during the prior three open tax years, the Fund did not have a liability for any unrecognized tax benefits. The Fund has no examinations in progress and is not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change in the next twelve months.

(k) Distributions to Shareholders

The Fund will make distributions of net investment income monthly and net capital gains, if any, at least annually. 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 GAAP.

26

FPA Flexible Fixed Income Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

December 31, 2025

The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from the characterization for federal income tax purposes due to differences in the recognition of income, expense and gain (loss) items for financial statement and tax purposes.

Note 3 - Investment Advisory and Other Agreements

The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Agreement") with the Adviser. Under the terms of the Agreement, the Fund pays a monthly investment advisory fee to the Adviser at the annual rate of 0.50% of the Fund's average daily net assets. In addition, the Adviser has contractually agreed to waive its fees and/or pay for operating expenses of the Fund to ensure that total annual fund operating expenses (excluding interest, taxes, brokerage fees and commissions payable by the Fund in connection with the purchase or sale of portfolio securities, redemption liquidity service expenses, and extraordinary expenses, including litigation expenses not incurred in the Fund's ordinary course of business) do not exceed 0.604%, 0.554%, and 0.654% of the Fund's average daily net assets for the one-year period ending June 30, 2026, for the Advisor Class, Institutional Class, and Investor Class, respectively.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Adviser waived a portion of its advisory fees totaling $ 180,494 for the Fund. Any expenses reimbursed to the Fund by the Adviser during any of the previous 36 months may be recouped by the Adviser, provided the Fund's Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses do not exceed 0.64% of the average net assets of the Fund attributable to the Institutional Class, 0.74% of the average net assets of the Fund attributable to the Advisor Class, and 0.79% of the average net assets of the Fund attributable to the Investor Class for any subsequent calendar year, regardless of whether there is a then-effective higher expense limit. This agreement may only be terminated earlier by the Fund's Board of Trustees or upon termination of the Advisory Agreement. The potential recoverable amount is noted as "Commitments and contingencies" as reported on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The Adviser may recapture all or a portion of this amount no later than dates stated below:

December 31, 2026 $ 774,947
December 31, 2027 802,310
December 31, 2028 1,331,221
Total $ 2,908,478

UMB Fund Services, Inc. ("UMBFS") serves as the Fund's fund accountant, transfer agent and co-administrator; and Mutual Fund Administration, LLC ("MFAC") serves as the Fund's other co-administrator. UMB Bank, n.a., an affiliate of UMBFS, serves as the Fund's custodian. The Fund's allocated fees incurred for fund accounting, fund administration, transfer agency and custody services for the year ended December 31, 2025, are reported as fund services fees on the Statement of Operations.

Distribution Services, LLC serves as the Fund's distributor (the "Distributor"). The Distributor does not receive compensation from the Fund for its distribution services; the Adviser pays the Distributor a fee for its distribution-related services.

Certain trustees and officers of the Trust are employees of UMBFS, MFAC or the Adviser. The Fund does not compensate trustees and officers affiliated with the Fund's Adviser or co-administrators. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Fund's allocated fees incurred to Trustees of the Trust who are not "interested persons" of the Trust, as that term is defined in the 1940 Act (collectively, the "Independent Trustees") are reported on the Statement of Operations.

27

FPA Flexible Fixed Income Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

December 31, 2025

The Fund's Board of Trustees has adopted a Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan") for the Independent Trustees that enables Trustees to elect to receive payment in cash or the option to defer some or all of their fees. If a trustee elects to defer payment, the Plan provides for the creation of a deferred payment account. A Trustee's deferred fees are deemed to be invested in designated mutual funds available under the Plan. The Fund's liability for these amounts is adjusted for market value changes in the invested fund and remains a liability to the Fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The Trustees Deferred compensation liability under the Plan constitutes a general unsecured obligation of the Fund and is disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Contributions made under the plan and the change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation and income are included in the Trustees' fees and expenses in the Statement of Operations.

Dziura Compliance Consulting, LLC provides Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO") services to the Trust. The Fund's allocated fees incurred for CCO services for the year ended December 31, 2025 are reported on the Statement of Operations.

Note 4 - Federal Income Taxes

At December 31, 2025, gross unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) of investments, based on cost for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

Cost of investments $ 1,893,042,392
Gross unrealized appreciation $ 38,454,891
Gross unrealized depreciation (2,050,721 )
Net unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) $ 36,404,170

The difference between cost amounts for financial statement and federal income tax purposes is due primarily to timing differences in recognizing certain gains and losses in security transactions.

GAAP requires that certain components of net assets be reclassified between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset value per share. For the year ended December 31, 2025, permanent differences in book and tax have been reclassified to paid-in capital and total distributable earnings/(deficit) as follows:

Increase (Decrease)
Paid-in Capital Total distributable earnings/(deficit)
$ - $ -

As of December 31, 2025, the components of accumulated earnings/(deficit) on a tax basis were as follows:

Undistributed ordinary income $ 650,420
Undistributed long-term capital gains -
Tax accumulated earnings 650,420
Accumulated capital and other losses (1,462,508 )

Note 5 - Investment Transactions

For the year ended December 31, 2025, purchases and sales of investments, excluding short-term investments, were $ 1,119,723,132 and $ 713,699,104, respectively.

Note 6 - Shareholder Servicing Plan

Pursuant to the Shareholder Service Plan adopted by the Board, on behalf of the Fund, the Fund may pay a fee at an annual rate of up to 0.10%, 0.15%, and 0.25% of its average daily net assets attributable to Institutional Class, Advisor Class, and Investor Class shares, respectively. The Fund does not pay these service fees on shares purchased directly. In addition, the Adviser may, at its own expense, pay financial representatives and/or shareholder servicing agents for these services. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Adviser reimbursed shareholder servicing fees of $1,121,503, $28,297, and $927 for the Institutional Class, Advisor Class, and Investor Class shares, respectively.

Note 7 - Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations which provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Fund expects the risk of loss to be remote.

Note 8 - Commitments and Contingencies

The Fund may enter into unfunded loan commitments. Unfunded loan commitments may be partially or wholly unfunded. During the contractual period, the Fund is obliged to provide funding to the borrower upon demand. Unfunded loan commitments are fair valued in accordance with the valuation policy described in Note 2(a) and unrealized appreciation or depreciation, if any, is recorded on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. As of December 31, 2025, the total unfunded amount was 0.02% of the Fund's net assets.

Note 9 - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. It also provides guidance on determining when there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for an asset or a liability, when a transaction is not orderly, and how that information must be incorporated into a fair value measurement.

Under Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund's investments. These inputs are summarized into three broad Levels as described below:

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 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, as of December 31, 2025, in valuing the Fund's assets carried at fair value:

The change in unrealized gains or losses attributable to Level 3 investments held at December 31, 2025 was $1,026,114.

Transfers of investments between different levels of the fair value hierarchy are recorded at fair value as of the end of the reporting period. Transfers into Level 3 were due to change in valuation technique from vendor priced to fair valued.

The following table presents additional quantitative information about valuation methodologies and inputs used for investments that are measured at fair value and categorized within Level 3 as of December 31, 2025.

(1) This column represents the directional change in the fair value of the Level 3 investments that would result from an increase to the corresponding unobservable input. A decrease to the unobservable input would have the opposite effect.
(2) The Third Party Broker Quote technique involves obtaining an independent third-party broker quote for the security.
(3) The Pricing Model technique for Level 3 securities involves recently quoted funding prices of the security.
(4) The Asset Approach technique for Level 3 securities involves the potential of likelihood of future bankruptcy distributions.
(5) The Pricing Model technique for Level 3 securities involves the last reported trade in the security.
(6) The fair value of the investment is based on the initial purchase price or more recent capital activity. If the financial condition of the underlying assets were to deteriorate, or if the market comparables were to fall, the value of the investment could be lower.
(7) The fair value of the investment is based on yield-to-maturity values that are comparable to other similar fixed-income instruments at similar price levels, which are not congruent with vendor quoted prices for the security.

Note 10 - Restricted Securities

Restricted securities include securities that have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and securities that are subject to restrictions on resale. The Fund may invest in restricted securities that are consistent with the Fund's investment objective and investment strategies. Investments in restricted securities are valued at net asset value as a practical expedient for fair value, or fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board. It is possible that the estimated value may differ significantly from the amount that might ultimately be realized in the near term, and the difference could be material.

As of December 31, 2025, the Fund invested in the following restricted securities:

Note 11 - Market Disruption and Geopolitical Risks

Certain local, regional or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness and/or other public health issues, financial institution instability or other events may have a significant impact on a security or instrument. These types of events and other like them are collectively referred to as "Market Disruptions and Geopolitical Risks" and they may have adverse impacts on the worldwide economy, as well as the economies of individual countries, the financial health of individual companies and the market in general in significant and unforeseen ways. Some of the impacts noted in recent times include but are not limited to embargos, political actions, supply chain disruptions, tariffs, bank failures, restrictions to investment and/or monetary movement including the forced selling of securities or the inability to participate impacted markets. The duration of these events could adversely affect the Funds' performance, the performance of the securities in which the Funds invest and may lead to losses on your investment. The ultimate impact of "Market Disruptions and Geopolitical Risks" on the financial performance of the Funds' investments is not reasonably estimable at this time. Management is actively monitoring these events.

Note 12 - New Accounting Pronouncements

In the reporting period, the Funds adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which enhances income tax disclosures, including disclosure income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. Adoption of the new standard did not materially impact financial statement disclosures and did not affect the Fund's financial position or the results of its operations.

Note 13 - Events Subsequent to the Fiscal Period End

The Fund has adopted financial reporting rules regarding subsequent events which require an entity to recognize in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet. Management has evaluated the Fund's related events and transactions that occurred through the date of issuance of the Fund's financial statements.

There were no events or transactions that occurred during this period that materially impacted the amounts or disclosures in the Fund's financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Trustees

and the Shareholders of the FPA Flexible Fixed Income Fund

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of the FPA Flexible Fixed Income Fund (the "Fund"), a series of Investment Managers Series Trust III, including the schedule of investments, as of December 31, 2025, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and financial highlights for each of the three 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 Fund as of December 31, 2025, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the three years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The financial highlights for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2022, were audited by other auditors, whose report dated March 1, 2023 expressed unqualified opinions on those financial highlights.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's 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 Fund 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 the Fund since 2023.

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. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund's 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 December 31, 2025 by correspondence with the custodian, agent banks, brokers, and others or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies were not received. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
