- Grew Outstanding Business Volume by over $500 million to $22.0 Billion -

WASHINGTON, D.C., August 10, 2020 The Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation (Farmer Mac; NYSE: AGM and AGM.A), the nation's secondary market provider that increases the availability and affordability of credit for the benefit of rural America, today announced its results for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2020.

Net income attributable to common stockholders was $31.7 million, or $2.94 per diluted common share;
Core earnings, a non-GAAP measure was $26.3 million, or $2.45 per diluted common share;
Net interest income grew $5.3 million year-over-year to $48.3 million;

Second Quarter 2020 Results

Business Volume

Farmer Mac added $502.8 million net business volume growth in second quarter 2020, resulting in total outstanding business volume of $22.0 billion as of June 30, 2020. The increase in net business volume was primarily attributable to historically low interest rates that drove strong market demand by borrowers seeking to take advantage of low interest rates on long-term funding.

Net growth this quarter consisted of increases of $306.2 million in Rural Utilities, $206.3 million in Farm & Ranch, and $31.6 million in the USDA Guarantees line of business, partially offset by a decrease of $41.3 million in Institutional Credit.

The $306.2 million net growth in our Rural Utilities line of business was primarily due to the purchase of $339.4 million in loans from the two main counterparties in that line of business, partially offset by regularly scheduled payments, prepayments, and maturities of loans previously purchased and loans under LTSPCs.

The $206.3 million net increase in our Farm & Ranch line of business was comprised of a $259.1 million net increase in outstanding loan purchase volume, partially offset by a $52.8 million net decrease in loans under LTSPCs. The net growth reflected our ability to retain borrowers in a decreasing interest rate environment by proactively engaging with our customers and adjusting their rates and loan sizes to reflect current market conditions and their specific funding needs. Our net growth of 18.2% in Farm & Ranch loan purchases over the twelve months ended June 30, 2020 is significantly higher than the 3.1% net growth of the overall agricultural mortgage loan market over the twelve months ended March 31, 2020 (based on our analysis of bank and Farm Credit System call report data).

Our USDA Guarantees line of business grew by $31.6 million, driven by record gross volume of $224.0 million. This growth reflected the positive effect of adjustments that we made to our product structure in the second half of 2019 to more effectively meet customer demands in an increasingly competitive environment and in response to increased loan limits mandated by the 2018 Farm Bill.

The $41.3 million net decrease in the Institutional Credit line of business was due primarily to two large counterparties who reduced their amount of outstanding credit in connection with the maturity of one bond and regularly scheduled payments on multiple bonds. We also experienced a slight net increase from smaller fund counterparties.

Spreads

Net interest income for second quarter 2020 was $48.3 million, a $5.3 million increase compared to $43.0 million in the prior-year period, primarily driven by net growth across most lines of business. Net interest yield was 0.87% in both second quarter 2020 and second quarter 2019.

Net effective spread, a non-GAAP measure, for second quarter 2020 was $46.5 million, a $5.1 million increase from $41.4 million in the prior year period. This increase was primarily attributable to growth in outstanding business volume, which increased net effective spread by approximately $5.5 million. In percentage terms, net effective spread was 0.89% for second quarter 2020, as compared to 0.91% in second quarter 2019. The decrease of 0.02% was primarily attributable to an increase in funding and liquidity costs of 0.05%, offset by an increase of 0.03% related to net volume growth.

Earnings

Farmer Mac's net income attributable to common stockholders for second quarter 2020 were $31.7 million ($2.94 per diluted common share), compared to $28.3 million ($2.63 per diluted common share) in second quarter 2019. The $3.4 million year-over-year increase in net income attributable to common stockholders was primarily due to a $4.2 million after-tax increase in net interest income, the absence of $2.0 million in deferred issuance costs related to the redemption of Series B Preferred Stock in the prior-year period, and a $0.7 million after-tax increase in other income. These increases were partially offset by a $1.9 million after-tax decrease in the fair value of undesignated financial derivatives due to fluctuations in long-term interest rates and a $1.6 million after-tax increase in operating expenses.

Farmer Mac enters into financial derivatives transactions to hedge interest rate risks inherent in its business and carries its financial derivatives at fair value in its consolidated financial statements. As these fluctuations are not expected to have a cumulative impact on Farmer Mac's earnings, Farmer Mac uses non-GAAP core earnings as a useful alternative measure to understand the business.

Farmer Mac's non-GAAP core earnings for second quarter 2020 was $26.3 million ($2.45 per diluted common share), compared to $23.6 million ($2.20 per diluted common share) in second quarter 2019. The $2.7 million year-over-year increase in core earnings was primarily due to a $4.0 million after-tax increase in net effective spread and a $0.3 million after-tax decrease in the total provision for losses. These increases were partially offset by a $1.6 million after-tax increase in operating expenses.

See "Use of Non-GAAP Measures" below for more information about core earnings, core earnings per share, and net effective spread and for reconciliations of the comparable GAAP measures to these non-GAAP measures.

Credit

As of June 30, 2020, Farmer Mac's total allowance for losses was $18.8 million, compared to $19.1 million as of March 31, 2020. In the second quarter, our forecasts continue to include the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on economic factors such as land values, gross domestic product, credit spreads, and unemployment. The total provision for losses in the second quarter was approximately $0.1 million, primarily due to the impact of net new loan volume in the Rural Utilities portfolio of $311.8 million, partially offset by improving economic factors that uniquely impacted the on-balance sheet Farm & Ranch portfolio and repayments and payoffs that occurred in the LTSPC portfolio during the quarter. In addition, there was a $0.4 million charge-off to the allowance related to the foreclosure of a single Farm & Ranch loan. Across all of Farmer Mac's lines of business, Farmer Mac's allowance for losses represented 0.09% of total outstanding business volume as of June 30, 2020, compared to 0.04% as of June 30, 2019.

As of June 30, 2020, substandard assets were $304.9 million, compared to $312.3 million as of March 31, 2020. The $7.4 million decrease in substandard assets was primarily driven by repayments during the quarter on loans that had been classified as substandard as of the first quarter, partially offset by credit downgrades during the quarter. Across all of Farmer Mac's lines of business, substandard assets represented 1.4% of total outstanding business volume as of June 30, 2020, compared to 1.5% as of March 31, 2020.

As of June 30, 2020, Farmer Mac's 90-day delinquencies were $68.7 million, compared to $79.7 million as of March 31, 2020 and $28.0 million as of June 30, 2019. The sequential decrease in 90-day
3


delinquencies is primarily due to the seasonal payment pattern associated with loans that have annual (January 1st) and semi-annual (January 1st and July 1st) payment terms, which account for most of the loans in the Farm & Ranch portfolio. Across all of Farmer Mac's lines of business, 90-day delinquencies represented 0.31% of total outstanding business volume as of June 30, 2020, compared to 0.37% as of March 31, 2020 and 0.14% as of June 30, 2019. Loans under COVID-19 deferment are not considered past due and are not included in our delinquent loan statistics.

Capital

As of June 30, 2020, Farmer Mac's core capital level was $915.6 million, which was $247.9 million above the minimum capital level required by our statutory charter. This compares to $815.1 million as of March 31, 2020, which was $165.8 million above the minimum capital requirement. Farmer Mac's Tier 1 capital ratio was 13.4% as of June 30, 2020. The increase in capital in excess of the minimum capital level required was primarily due to the Board-authorized issuance of Series E Preferred Stock and the increase in retained earnings, partially offset by growth in our outstanding business volume.

Preferred Stock

In May 2020, Farmer Mac issued 3.2 million shares of 5.750% Non-Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series E ("Series E Preferred Stock"), which has a par value and liquidation preference of $25.00 per share, or $79.5 million aggregate outstanding. Farmer Mac incurred direct costs of $2.5 million related to the issuance of the Series E preferred stock. The dividend rate on the Series E preferred stock will remain at a non-cumulative, fixed rate of 5.750% per year, when, as, and if a dividend is declared by the Board of Directors of Farmer Mac, for so long as the Series E preferred stock remains outstanding. The Series E preferred stock has no maturity date, but Farmer Mac has the option to redeem the preferred stock at any time on any dividend payment date on and after July 17, 2025.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

In the accompanying analysis of its financial information, Farmer Mac uses the following non-GAAP measures: "core earnings," "core earnings per share," and "net effective spread." Farmer Mac uses these non-GAAP measures to measure corporate economic performance and develop financial plans because, in management's view, they are useful alternative measures in understanding Farmer Mac's economic performance, transaction economics, and business trends. The non-GAAP financial measures that Farmer Mac uses may not be comparable to similarly labeled non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by other companies. Farmer Mac's disclosure of these non-GAAP measures is intended to be supplemental in nature and is not meant to be considered in isolation from, as a substitute for, or as more important than, the related financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Core earnings and core earnings per share principally differ from net income attributable to common stockholders and earnings per common share, respectively, by excluding the effects of fair value fluctuations. These fluctuations are not expected to have a cumulative net impact on Farmer Mac's financial condition or results of operations reported in accordance with GAAP if the related financial instruments are held to maturity, as is expected.

Core earnings and core earnings per share also differ from net income attributable to common stockholders and earnings per common share, respectively, by excluding specified infrequent or unusual transactions that Farmer Mac believes are not indicative of future operating results and that may not reflect the trends and economic financial performance of Farmer Mac's core business. For example, we have excluded from core earnings losses on retirement of preferred stock and the re-measurement of the deferred tax asset.

Farmer Mac uses net effective spread to measure the net spread Farmer Mac earns between its interest-earning assets and the related net funding costs of these assets. Net effective spread differs from net interest income and net interest yield because it excludes: (1) the amortization of premiums and discounts on assets consolidated at fair value that are amortized as adjustments to yield in interest income over the contractual or estimated remaining lives of the underlying assets; (2) interest income and interest expense related to consolidated trusts with beneficial interests owned by third parties, which are presented on Farmer Mac's consolidated balance sheets as "Loans held for investment in consolidated trusts, at amortized cost"; and (3) the fair value changes of financial derivatives and the corresponding assets or liabilities designated in a fair value hedge accounting relationship.

Net effective spread also principally differs from net interest income and net interest yield because it includes: (1) the accrual of income and expense related to the contractual amounts due on financial derivatives that are not designated in hedge accounting relationships ("undesignated financial derivatives"); and (2) the net effects of terminations or net settlements on financial derivatives. More information about Farmer Mac’s use of non-GAAP measures is available in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Results of Operations" in Farmer Mac's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed February 25, 2020 with the SEC.

For a reconciliation of Farmer Mac's net income attributable to common stockholders to core earnings and of earnings per common share to core earnings per share, and net interest income and net interest yield to net effective spread, see "Reconciliations" below.
