**The Fund's past performance is not a good predictor of how the Fund will perform in the future. Fund performance numbers are net of all Fund operating expenses, but do not include any insurance charges imposed by your insurance company's separate account. If performance included the effect of these additional charges, the return would be lower. For most recent month-end performance information, please call Investor Services at 1-800-279-0279 or visit the Fund's website at www.davisfunds.com .**

**NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

The Fund is a separate series of Davis Variable Account Fund, Inc. (a Maryland corporation) and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a diversified, open-end management investment company. The Fund follows the reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") *Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies*. Only insurance companies, for the purpose of funding variable annuity or variable life insurance contracts, may purchase shares of the Fund. The Fund renamed from Davis Value Portfolio to Davis Equity Portfolio effective June 30, 2024. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements.

***Security Valuation*** - The Fund's Board of Directors has designated Davis Selected Advisers, L.P. ("Davis Advisors" or "Adviser"), the Fund's investment adviser, as the valuation designee for the Fund. The Adviser has established a Pricing Committee to carry out the day-to-day valuation activities for the Fund. The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange ("Exchange"), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for business. Securities listed on the Exchange (and other national exchanges including NASDAQ) are valued at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation. Listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are valued at the last quoted bid price. Securities traded on foreign exchanges are valued based upon the last sales price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded prior to the time when the Fund's assets are valued. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available or securities whose values have been materially affected by what the Adviser identifies as a significant event occurring before the Fund's assets are valued, but after the close of their respective exchanges, will be fair valued using a fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant event as previously approved by the Pricing Committee. The Pricing Committee considers all facts it deems relevant that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Adviser's portfolio management team, when determining the fair value of a security. To assess the appropriateness of security valuations, the Pricing Committee may consider (i) comparing prior day prices and/or prices of comparable securities; (ii) comparing sale prices to the prior or current day prices and challenge those prices exceeding certain tolerance levels with the third-party pricing service or broker source; (iii) new rounds of financing; (iv) the performance of the market or the issuer's industry; (v) the liquidity of the security; (vi) the size of the holding in a fund; and/or (vii) any other appropriate information. The determination of a security's fair value price often involves the consideration of a number of subjective factors and is therefore subject to the unavoidable risk that the value assigned to a security may be higher or lower than the security's value would be if a reliable market quotation for the security was readily available.

Short-term investments purchased within 60 days to maturity and of sufficient credit quality are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

On a quarterly basis, the Board of Directors receives reports of valuation actions taken by the Pricing Committee. On at least an annual basis, the Board of Directors receives an assessment of the adequacy and effectiveness of the Adviser's process for determining the fair value of the Fund's investments.

**Fair Value Measurements** - Fair value is defined as the price that the Fund would receive upon selling an investment in an orderly transaction to an independent buyer in the principal market for the investment. Various inputs are used to determine the fair value of the Fund's investments. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below.

Level 1 -

quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

Level 2 -

other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

Level 3 -

significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities nor can it be assured that the Fund can obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security.

\* Includes certain securities trading primarily outside the U.S. whose value the Fund adjusted as a result of significant market movements following the close of local trading.

***Repurchase Agreements*** - Repurchase agreements are transactions under which a Fund purchases a security from a dealer counterparty and agrees to resell the security to that counterparty on a specified future date at the same price, plus a specified interest rate. The Fund's repurchase agreements are secured by U.S. government or agency securities. It is the Fund's policy that its regular custodian or third party custodian take possession of the underlying collateral securities, the fair value of which exceeds the principal amount of the repurchase transaction, including accrued interest, at all times. In the event of default by the counterparty, the Fund has the contractual right to liquidate the collateral securities and to apply the proceeds in satisfaction of the obligation.

***Currency Translation*** - The fair values of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recorded in the financial statements after translation to United States Dollar ("USD") on the date of valuation using exchange rates determined as of the close of trading on the Exchange. The cost basis of such assets and liabilities is determined based upon historical exchange rates. Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect as accrued or incurred.

***Foreign Currency*** - The Fund may enter into forward purchases or sales of foreign currencies to hedge certain foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities against declines in fair value relative to USD. Forward currency contracts are marked-to-market daily and the change in fair value is recorded by the Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. When the forward currency contract is closed, the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the forward currency contract at the time it was opened and value at the time it was closed. Investments in forward currency contracts may expose the Fund to risks resulting from unanticipated movements in foreign currency exchange rates or failure of the counter-party to the agreement to perform in accordance with the terms of the contract. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, there were no forward currency contracts entered into by the Fund.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from the sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on security transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books, and the USD equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. The Fund includes foreign currency gains and losses realized on the sales of investments together with market gains and losses on such investments in the Statement of Operations. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities resulting from changes in the exchange rate and are included within net unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the Statement of Operations.

**June 30, 2025 *(Unaudited)***

**NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (CONTINUED)**

***Federal Income Taxes*** - It is the Fund's policy to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies, and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments not offset by loss carryovers, to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income or excise tax is required. The Adviser analyzed the Fund's tax positions taken on federal and state income tax returns for all open tax years and concluded that as of June 30, 2025, no provision for income tax is required in the Fund's financial statements related to these tax positions. The Fund's federal and state (Arizona) income and federal excise tax returns for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state Department of Revenue. The earliest tax year that remains subject to examination by these jurisdictions is 2021.

At June 30, 2025, the aggregate cost of investments and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Cost | &nbsp;&nbsp; $58217377 |
| Unrealized appreciation | &nbsp;&nbsp; 48669230 |
| Unrealized depreciation | &nbsp;&nbsp; (4546034)<br>|
| Net unrealized appreciation | &nbsp;&nbsp; $44123196 |

---

***Federal Withholding Taxes*** - The Fund is subject to foreign withholding tax imposed by certain foreign countries in which the Fund may invest. Withholding taxes are incurred on certain foreign dividends and are accrued at the time the dividend is recognized based on applicable foreign tax laws. The Fund may file withholding tax refunds in certain jurisdictions to seek to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. The Fund will record a receivable for such tax refunds based on several factors including; an assessment of a jurisdiction's legal obligation to pay reclaims, administrative practices and payment history. Any receivables recorded will be included under dividends and interest on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. There is no guarantee that the Fund will receive refunds applied for in a timely manner or at all.

As a result of court rulings in certain countries across the European Union, tax refunds for previously withheld taxes on dividends earned in those countries have been received by investment companies. Any tax refund payments are reflected as foreign withholding tax refunds in the Statement of Operations. The Fund may incur fees paid to third party providers that assist in the recovery of the tax refunds. These fees are reflected on the Statement of Operations under tax service fees, if any.

***Securities Transactions and Related Investment Income*** - Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed) with realized gain or loss on the sale of securities being determined based upon identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income, which includes accretion of discount and amortization of premium, is accrued as earned.

***Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders*** - Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses), and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments [collectively "Distributable earnings (losses)"] may differ for financial statement and tax purposes primarily due to permanent and temporary differences which may include wash sales, corporate actions, Directors' deferred compensation payments, passive foreign investment company shares, and foreign currency transactions. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income and net realized securities gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to the timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which income or realized gain was recorded by the Fund. The Fund adjusts certain components of capital to reflect permanent differences between financial statement amounts and net income and realized gains/losses determined in accordance with income tax rules.

***Indemnification*** - Under the Fund's organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. In addition, some of the Fund's contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Fund cannot be determined and the Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.

***Use of Estimates in Financial Statements*** - In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported

***Use of Estimates in Financial Statements - (Continued)***

amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

***Directors Fees and Expenses*** - The Fund set up a Rabbi Trust to provide for the deferred compensation plan for Independent Directors (including a Director Emeritus) that enables them to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of annual fees they are entitled to receive. The value of an eligible Director's account is based upon years of service and fees paid to each Director during the years of service. The amount paid to the Director by the Trust under the plan will be determined based upon the performance of the Funds in which the amounts are invested.

***Operating Segments*** - The Fund adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting ("Topic 280") - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"). Adoption of the standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the Fund's financial position or the results of its operations. An operating segment is defined in Topic 280 as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entity's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. The Principal Executive Officer of the Fund acts as the CODM. Since its commencement, the Fund operates as a single segment. The CODM monitors the operating results of the Fund, as a whole, and the Fund's long-term strategic asset allocation is pre-determined in accordance with the terms of its prospectus, based on a defined investment strategy which is executed by the Fund's portfolio managers as a team. The financial information, in the form of the Fund's portfolio composition, total return, expense ratio, and changes in net assets (i.e., changes in net assets resulting from operations, subscriptions and redemptions) are used by the CODM to assess the segment's performance versus the Fund's comparative benchmark and to make resource allocation decisions for the Fund's single segment, which is consistent with that presented within the Fund's financial statements. Segment assets are reflected on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities as "total assets" and significant segment expenses are listed on the accompanying Statement of Operations.

**NOTE 2 - PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES**

The cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investment securities (excluding short-term investments) during the six months ended June 30, 2025 were $7,934,742 and $13,737,203, respectively.

**NOTE 3 - FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH SERVICE PROVIDERS (INCLUDING AFFILIATES)**

Davis Selected Advisers-NY, Inc. ("DSA-NY"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Adviser, acts as sub-adviser to the Fund. DSA-NY performs research and portfolio management services for the Fund under a Sub-Advisory Agreement with the Adviser. The Fund pays no fees directly to DSA-NY.

All officers of the Fund (including Interested Directors) hold positions as executive officers with the Adviser or its affiliates.

***Investment Advisory Fees and Reimbursement/Waiver of Expenses*** - Advisory fees are paid monthly to the Adviser and amounts due from Adviser, if applicable, will be generally paid in the month after finalization of the financial statements. The annual rate for the Fund is 0.55% of the average net assets. The Adviser is contractually committed to waive fees and/or reimburse the Fund's expenses to the extent necessary to cap total annual fund operating expenses at 1.00%. For purposes of this expense cap, operating expenses do not include foreign tax reclaim filing expenses. The Adviser is obligated to continue the expense cap through May 1, 2026. The expense cap cannot be modified prior to that date without the consent of the Board of Directors. After that date, there is no assurance that the Adviser will continue to cap expenses. The Adviser may not recoup any of the operating expenses it has reimbursed to the Fund.

***Accounting Fees*** - State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street Bank") is the Fund's primary accounting provider. Fees for accounting services are included in the custodian fees as State Street Bank also serves as the Fund's custodian. The Adviser is also paid for certain accounting services. The fee paid to the Adviser for these services during the six months ended June 30, 2025 amounted to $2,502.

**Director Approval of Advisory Agreements *(Unaudited)***

**Process of Annual Review**

The Board of Directors of the Davis Funds oversees the management of each Davis Fund and, as required by law, determines annually whether to approve the continuance of each Davis Fund's advisory agreement with Davis Selected Advisers, L.P. and sub-advisory agreement with Davis Selected Advisers-NY, Inc. (jointly "Davis Advisors" and "Advisory Agreements").

With the assistance of counsel to the Independent Directors, the Independent Directors undertook a comprehensive review process in anticipation of their annual contract review meeting, held in March 2025. As part of this process, Davis Advisors provided the Independent Directors with material (including recent investment performance data) that was responsive to questions submitted to Davis Advisors by the Independent Directors. At this meeting, the Independent Directors reviewed and evaluated all information which they deemed reasonably necessary under the circumstances and were provided guidance by their independent counsel. In reaching their decision, the Independent Directors also took into account information furnished to them throughout the year and otherwise provided to them during their quarterly meetings or through other prior communications. The Independent Directors concluded that they had been supplied with sufficient information and data to analyze the Advisory Agreements and that their questions had been sufficiently answered by Davis Advisors. Upon completion of this review, the Independent Directors found that the terms of the Advisory Agreements were fair and reasonable and that continuation of the Advisory Agreements is in the best interests of Davis Equity Portfolio (the "Fund") and its shareholders.

**Reasons the Independent Directors Approved Continuation of the Advisory Agreements**

The Independent Directors' determinations were based upon a comprehensive consideration of all information provided to them, and they did not identify any single item or piece of information as the controlling factor. Each Independent Director did not necessarily attribute the same weight to each factor. The following considerations and conclusions were important, but not exclusive, to the Independent Directors' recommendation to renew the Advisory Agreements.

The Independent Directors considered the investment performance of the Fund on an absolute basis as well as relative to its benchmark and other comparable funds. The Independent Directors not only considered the investment performance of the Fund, but also the full range and quality of services provided by Davis Advisors to the Fund and its shareholders, including whether:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. The Fund achieves satisfactory investment results over the long-term, after all costs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Davis Advisors efficiently and effectively handles shareholder transactions, inquiries, requests, and records;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Davis Advisors provides quality accounting, legal, and compliance services, and oversees third-party service providers; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. Davis Advisors fosters healthy investor behavior.

Davis Advisors is reimbursed a portion of its costs in providing some, but not all, of these services.

A shareholder's ultimate return is the product of a fund's results, as well as the shareholder's behavior, specifically in selecting when to invest or redeem. The Independent Directors concluded that, through its actions and communications, Davis Advisors has attempted to have a meaningful, positive impact on investor behavior.

Davis Advisors takes its role as stewards of capital seriously and maintains a strong alignment of interests with its clients. In aggregate, Davis Advisors and its employees as well as the Davis family (collectively referred to herein as "Davis") have made significant investments in Davis Funds and similarly managed accounts and strategies. The Independent Directors considered that these investments tend to align Davis with its clients, as Davis takes the same risks and reaps the same rewards as its clients and is motivated to achieve satisfactory long-term returns.

The Independent Directors noted the importance of reviewing quantitative measures, but recognized that qualitative factors are also important in assessing whether Davis Funds' shareholders are likely to be well served by the renewal of the Advisory Agreements. They noted both the value and shortcomings of purely quantitative measures, including the data provided by independent service providers, and concluded that, while such measures and data may be informative, the judgment of the Independent Directors must take many factors into consideration in representing the shareholders of the Davis Funds, including those listed below. In connection with reviewing comparative performance information, the Independent Directors generally give greater weight to longer-term measurements.

The Independent Directors noted that Davis Advisors employs a disciplined, company-specific, research-driven, businesslike, long-term investment philosophy. The Independent Directors considered the quality of Davis Advisors' investment process as well as the experience, capability, and integrity of its senior management and other personnel.

**DAVIS EQUITY PORTFOLIO**

**Director Approval of Advisory Agreements** 

***(Unaudited) -* (Continued)**

**Reasons the Independent Directors Approved Continuation of the Advisory Agreements - (Continued)**

The Independent Directors recognized Davis Advisors' (a) efforts to minimize transaction costs by generally having a long-term time horizon and low portfolio turnover; (b) record of generally producing satisfactory results over longer-term periods; (c) efforts towards fostering healthy investor behavior by, among other things, providing informative and substantial educational material; and (d) efforts to promote shareholder interests by actively speaking out on corporate governance issues.

The Independent Directors assessed (a) comparative fee and expense information for other funds, as selected and analyzed by a nationally recognized independent service provider; (b) information regarding fees charged by Davis Advisors to other advisory clients, which includes other funds it advises, other funds which it sub-advises, private accounts, and managed money/wrap clients, as well as the differences in the services provided to such other clients; and (c) the fee schedule of the Fund, including an assessment of competitive fee schedules.

The Independent Directors compared the fees paid to Davis Advisors by the Davis Funds with those paid by Davis Advisors' advised and sub-advised clients, private account clients, and managed money/wrap clients. To the extent sub-advised, private account, or managed money/wrap fees were lower than fees paid by the Davis Funds, the Independent Directors noted that the range of services provided to the Davis Funds is more extensive, with greater risks associated with operating SEC registered, publicly traded mutual funds. Serving as the primary adviser for mutual funds is more work because of the complex overlay of regulatory, tax, and accounting issues, which are unique to mutual funds. In addition, the operational work required to service shareholders is more extensive because of the significantly greater number of shareholders, and managing trading is more complex because of more frequent fund flows. With respect to risk, not only has regulation become more complex and burdensome, but the scrutiny of regulators and shareholders has become more intense. The Independent Directors concluded that reasonable justifications existed for any differences between the fee rates for the Davis Funds and Davis Advisors' other lines of business.

The Independent Directors noted that Davis Equity Portfolio underperformed its benchmark, the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (the "S&P 500"), over the one-, three-, five-, ten-year, and since-inception time periods, all periods ended February 28, 2025.

Broadridge, an independent service provider, presented a report to the Independent Directors that compared the Fund to all Lipper large-cap value funds underlying variable insurance products (the "Performance Universe Average"), as well as the relevant Lipper Index. The report indicated that the Fund outperformed both the Performance Universe Average and Lipper Index over the one-, two-, three-, five-, and ten-year time periods, but underperformed both over the four-year time period, all periods ended December 31, 2024.

The Independent Directors also reviewed the Fund's performance versus both the S&P 500 and the Morningstar U.S. Insurance Large Blend category when measured over rolling five- and ten-year time frames. The Fund outperformed the S&P 500 in 6 out of 22 rolling five-year time periods and outperformed the Morningstar U.S. Insurance Large Blend category in 8 out of 22 rolling five-year time periods, all periods ended December 31 for each year from 2003 through 2024. The Fund outperformed the S&P 500 in 3 out of 17 rolling ten-year time periods and outperformed the Morningstar U.S. Insurance Large Blend category in 4 out of 17 rolling ten-year time periods, all periods ended December 31 for each year from 2008 through 2024.

The Independent Directors considered Davis Equity Portfolio's management fee and total expense ratio. They observed that the management fees were reasonable and below the median of its expense universe, as determined by Broadridge. The total expense ratio was higher than the median of its expense universe, as determined by Broadridge. The Independent Directors also noted that the Adviser has agreed to cap expenses through May 1, 2026. For purposes of this expense cap, operating expenses do not include foreign tax reclaim filing expenses.

**Approval of Advisory Agreements**

The Independent Directors concluded that Davis Advisors had provided Davis Equity Portfolio and its shareholders a reasonable level of both investment and non-investment services. The Independent Directors further concluded that shareholders have received a significant benefit from Davis Advisors' shareholder-oriented approach, as well as the execution of its investment discipline.

The Independent Directors determined that the advisory fee for Davis Equity Portfolio was reasonable in light of the nature, quality, and extent of the services being provided to the Fund, the costs incurred by Davis Advisors in providing such services, and in comparison to the range of the average advisory fees of its peer group, as determined by an independent service provider. The Independent Directors found that the terms of the Advisory Agreements are fair and reasonable and that continuation of the Advisory Agreements is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. The Independent Directors and the full Board of Directors therefore voted to continue the Advisory Agreements.
