GLADSTONE LAND CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION
Business and Organization
Gladstone Land Corporation (“we,” “us,” or the “Company”) is an agricultural real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that was re-incorporated in Maryland on March 24, 2011, having been originally incorporated in California on June 14, 1997. We are primarily in the business of owning and leasing farmland, including through lease structures with a variable rent component based on the gross revenues generated from certain farms in lieu of fixed base rent. From time to time, and on a temporary basis, we may also directly operate certain of our farms via management agreements with third-party operators and/or through a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”). As of September 30, 2026, we owned 142 farms totaling 98,065 acres across 14 states in the U.S. and 55,657 acre-feet of water assets in California. In addition, as of September 30, 2026, two of our properties (comprising four farms) were being directly operated by us.
We conduct substantially all of our operations through a subsidiary, Gladstone Land Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership. As we currently control the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and own, directly or indirectly, a majority of the common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”), the financial position and results of operations of the Operating Partnership are consolidated within our financial statements. As of each of September 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the Company owned all of the outstanding OP Units.
Gladstone Land Advisers, Inc. (“Land Advisers”), a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, was created to collect any non-qualifying income related to our real estate portfolio and to perform certain small-scale farming business operations. We have elected for Land Advisers to be taxed as a TRS of ours. Since we currently indirectly own all of the voting securities of Land Advisers, its financial position and results of operations are consolidated within our financial statements. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, and for the tax year ended December 31, 2025, there was no taxable income or loss from Land Advisers, nor did we have any undistributed REIT taxable income.
Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, and pursuant to contractual agreements, our business is managed by Gladstone Management Corporation (the “Adviser”), a Delaware corporation, and administrative services are provided to us by Gladstone Administration, LLC (the “Administrator”), a Delaware limited liability company. Our Adviser and Administrator are both affiliates of ours (see Note 8, “Related-Party Transactions,” for additional discussion regarding our Adviser and Administrator).
All further references herein to “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” refer, collectively, to Gladstone Land Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, except where indicated otherwise.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Interim Financial Information
Our interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the requirements for reporting on Form 10-Q in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain disclosures accompanying annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP are omitted. The interim financial statements and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 24, 2026, and as amended on April 7, 2026 (collectively, the “Form 10-K”). The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods or for the full fiscal year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect our reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and our reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making certain judgments. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates.
Reclassifications
8
Certain line items on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously-reported stockholders’ equity, net income, or net change in cash and cash equivalents.
Income Taxes
We have operated and intend to continue to operate in a manner that will allow us to qualify as a REIT under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As a REIT, we generally are not subject to federal corporate income taxes on amounts that we distribute to our stockholders (except income from any foreclosure property), provided that, on an annual basis, we distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (excluding net capital gains) to our stockholders and meet certain other conditions. As such, in general, as long as we qualify as a REIT, no provision for federal income taxes will be necessary, except for taxes on undistributed REIT taxable income, taxes from foreclosure property, and taxes on income generated by a TRS (such as Land Advisers), if any. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we began directly operating two properties (consisting of four farms) that qualify as foreclosure properties under the Code following tenant lease defaults and are therefore subject to corporate income taxes on any income generated.
We account for any income taxes in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases (including for operating loss, capital loss, and tax credit carryforwards) and are calculated using the enacted tax rates and laws expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled. In addition, we will establish valuation allowances for tax benefits when we believe it is more-likely-than-not (defined as a likelihood of more than 50%) that such assets will not be realized.
Pretax income (loss) from foreclosure properties was approximately $1.8 million and $2.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, as compared to approximately ($1.0 million) and ($2.6 million) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. We currently expect foreclosure properties to generate an overall tax loss for the year ending December 31, 2026; accordingly, we did no
Segment Reporting
Our current business strategy includes one operating segment: Real Estate Rental Operations. We generate revenues, earnings, net income, and cash flows through our single segment by collecting rents from our tenants through operating leases, including reimbursements for certain of our property operating costs. We expect to generate earnings growth by increasing rents, maintaining high occupancy rates, and controlling expenses. The primary driver of our revenue growth will be the renewal of existing leases at current market rental rates upon expiration and the acquisition of new properties. We further believe our active portfolio management, combined with the skills of our asset management team, will allow us to maximize net income across our portfolio.
Our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) is our President and Chief Executive Officer. Our CODM assesses performance and allocates resources for our single reportable segment based on net income. Significant segment expenses regularly provided to our CODM are the expense line items presented on the face of the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income, and the measure of segment assets is total assets as reported on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The CODM will sometimes reference other metrics, including net operating income.
Recently-Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income–Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 requires public entities to disaggregate specific types of expenses, including disclosures for depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and selling expenses. The pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Prospective application is required, and retrospective application or early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of the requirements on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Acquisitions
We did not acquire any new farms during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2026 or 2025.
Property Sales
2026 Property Sales
In July 2026, we completed the sale of two farms in Florida totaling 617 gross acres for an aggregate sales price of approximately $3.2 million. Including closing costs, we recognized an aggregate net loss on these sales of approximately $169,000 .
2025 Property Sales
11
In January 2025, we completed the sale of five farms in Florida totaling 5,630 gross acres for an aggregate sales price of approximately $52.5 million. Including closing costs, we recognized an aggregate net gain on these sales of approximately $14.1 million.
In February 2025, we completed the sale of two farms in Nebraska totaling 2,559 gross acres for an aggregate sales price of $12.0 million. Including closing costs, we recognized an aggregate net gain on these sales of approximately $1.6 million.
In August 2025, we completed the sale of two farms in Florida totaling 2,678 gross acres for an aggregate sales price of $21.5 million. Including closing costs, we recognized an aggregate net gain on these sales of approximately $6.0 million.
Real Estate Held for Sale
As of September 30, 2026, we had two properties (consisting of five farms) classified as held for sale: one property (consisting of four farms) located in Yuma County, Arizona, and one property (consisting of one farm) located in Walla Walla County, Washington. As of September 30, 2026, these properties had an aggregate net cost basis of approximately $28.5 million. We did no t have any properties classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2025.
Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
In connection with the acquisition of certain farmland located in Fresno County, California, we also acquired partial ownership of a related limited liability company (the “Fresno LLC”), the sole purpose of which is to own and maintain a pipeline conveying water to our and other neighboring properties. In addition, in connection with the acquisition of certain farmland located in Umatilla County, Oregon, we also acquired partial ownership of a related limited liability company (the “Umatilla LLC”), the sole purpose of which is to own and maintain an irrigation system providing water to our and other neighboring properties.
As of September 30, 2026, our aggregate ownership interest in the Fresno LLC and the Umatilla LLC was 50.0 % and 20.5 %, respectively. As our investments in the Fresno LLC and Umatilla LLC are both deemed to constitute “significant influence,” we have accounted for these investments under the equity method.
We recorded an aggregate (loss) gain of approximately $(91,000 ) and $(209,000 ) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, and approximately $58,000 and $(128,000 ) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively (included in Loss from investments in unconsolidated entities on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income), which represents our pro-rata share of the aggregate loss recognized by the Fresno LLC and Umatilla LLC. As of September 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, our combined ownership interest in the Fresno LLC and the Umatilla LLC had an aggregate carrying value of approximately $5.6 million and $5.7 million, respectively, and is included within Other assets, net on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Portfolio Concentrations
Credit Risk
As of September 30, 2026, our farms were leased to various unrelated third-party tenants, with certain tenants leasing more than one farm. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, two unrelated third-party tenants, collectively leasing nine farms under leases expiring in 2027 or later, accounted for approximately $9.5 million (17.1 %) and $5.6 million (10.0 %), respectively, of our total lease revenue. If either tenant fails to make rental payments or terminates their leases prior to their scheduled expirations (and we are unable to re-lease the farms on satisfactory terms), there could be a material adverse effect on our financial performance. No other individual tenant accounted for more than 10% of our total lease revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2026.
Geographic Risk
Farms located in California and Florida accounted for approximately $41.7 million (74.9 %) and $6.6 million (12.0 %), respectively, of the total lease revenue recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2026. We seek to continue to further diversify geographically, as may be desirable or feasible. If an unexpected natural disaster (such as an earthquake, wildfire, flood, or hurricane) occurs or climate change impacts the regions where our properties are located, there could be a material adverse effect on our financial performance and ability to continue our operations. To date, none of our farms have been materially impacted by natural disasters. See “—Southeastern U.S. Hurricanes” below for a discussion of damage to certain farms caused by the hurricanes that occurred in the Southeastern U.S. in September and October 2024. Besides California and Florida, no other single state accounted for more than 10.0% of our lease revenue recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2026.
Southeastern U.S. Hurricanes
12
As a result of Hurricane Helene in September 2024, one of our farms in Georgia suffered damage to certain permanent plantings on the farm. At the time, we estimated the carrying value of such plantings to be approximately $275,000 , and during the three months ended September 30, 2024, we wrote down the carrying value of these plantings and also recorded a corresponding property and casualty loss. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, after further inspection of the property, it was determined that the damage was not as extensive as originally estimated, and we recorded an adjustment to our original estimate, which is included within Property and casualty (loss) recovery, net on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Certain of our other farms in the region suffered minor damage as a result of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, but none of our other farms were materially impacted.
Impairment
We evaluate our entire portfolio each quarter for any indicators of impairment and perform impairment analyses on those properties for which indicators of impairment have been identified. If the analysis indicates that a property’s carrying value may not be recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the property’s fair value. During the three months ended September 30, 2026, we recognized aggregate impairment charges of approximately $2.2 million related to two properties: one in Yuma County, Arizona (consisting of four farms), and one in Walla Walla County, Washington (consisting of one farm). During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we recognized aggregate impairment charges of approximately $7.3 million related to the two aforementioned properties, as well as one additional property in St. Lucie County, Florida (consisting of two farms). The impairment charges were recorded to reduce the carrying values of these properties to their respective agreed-upon purchase prices pursuant to the related purchase and sale agreements, less estimated closing costs.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized an impairment charge of approximately $316,000 one two
NOTE 4. CROP INVENTORY AND CROP SALES
Crop Inventory
Through certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and pursuant to management agreements with third-party operators, we currently manage (i) a 2,409 -acre property (consisting of two farms) in Kern County, California, including 2,293 acres of almond and pistachio orchards, and (ii) a 165 -acre farm in Umatilla County, Oregon, including 135 acres of wine grape vineyards.
As of September 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, we had incurred approximately $9.4 million and $1.7 million, respectively, of growing costs related to crops to be harvested during 2026. These costs primarily relate to irrigation, pest management, fertilization, and labor and have been capitalized as crop inventory. Crop inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. As the related crops are harvested and sold later in 2026 and throughout 2027, the associated costs will be recognized as cost of sales. We expect to incur additional costs related to harvesting and post-harvest handling, which will likewise be expensed to the cost of sales at the time of sale.
Crop Sales
Revenue from the sale of crops and the related cost of sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, are shown in the following table (dollars in thousands):

(2)As shown on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
SWSD Banked Water
In connection with the acquisition of certain farmland located in Kern County, California, in 2021, we also acquired three contracts providing the right to purchase an aggregate of 45,000 acre-feet of banked water held by Semitropic Water Storage District (“SWSD”), a water storage district located in Kern County, California, at a fixed price. At the time of acquisition, we allocated approximately $31.3 million of aggregate value to these contracts. Subsequently in 2021, we executed all three contracts and purchased the full 45,000 acre-feet of banked water for an additional aggregate cost of approximately $2.8 million.
Since the initial acquisition, additional contracts to purchase banked water held by SWSD were conveyed to us by one of our tenants as partial consideration for rent payments owed. The following table summarizes the total acre-feet of banked water obtained through the exercise of these contracts (dollars in thousands):

(2)Represents non-cash income received during the respective periods. The straight-line impact of these receipts is included within Lease revenue, net on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
All banked water acquired was recognized at cost as a long-term water asset, including the subsequent cost to exercise the contracts and any administrative fees necessary to transfer the water to our banked water account.
WWD Groundwater Credits
50/50 Program
From May 2023 through March 2024, we participated in a groundwater recharge program established by Westlands Water District (“WWD”), a water district located in Fresno County, California (the “50/50 Program”). Under the 50/50 Program, WWD funded the delivery of surplus surface water to properties owned by participating landowners with district-approved groundwater recharge facilities (also known as “water banks”). Participating landowners were entitled to retain 50 % of the net groundwater credits generated from recharge activities under the program (after accounting for required leave-behind volumes and evaporative losses), with the remaining 50 % retained by WWD for aquifer recharge.
WWD terminated the program for the 2024 water year effective March 5, 2024, and has not renewed it. As a result of the 50/50 Program, we recognized 2,660 acre-feet of water credits as a long-term water asset, representing 50 % of the total net water credits generated and confirmed by WWD under the program.
Other Agreements
Since 2023, we have entered into various agreements with third parties, including local water districts and private parties, to (i) purchase water directly, (ii) acquire portions of other water districts’ surface water allocations in future years in which allocations are granted, or (iii) store surface water on behalf of others in our groundwater recharge facilities in exchange for a portion of the net groundwater credits generated and recognized by the respective water district.
14
To date, water delivered under these agreements has been stored in our water bank located within the WWD service area, and the resulting water credits have been recognized as a long-term water asset at cost. We recognized revenue related to certain of these agreements of approximately $0 and $8,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, and $49,000
BWSD Banked Water
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we entered into an agreement to purchase 76 acre-feet of banked water held by Belridge Water Storage District (“BWSD”), a water storage district located in Kern County, California, for approximately $18,000 . This banked water was recognized at cost as a long-term water asset.
Deferred Water Assets
We have also invested in certain other programs and agreements that are expected to result in additional groundwater credits in the future; however, the amount and timing of any such credits are currently unknown and are dependent upon, and subject to, recognition by the applicable water districts in their sole discretion. The related costs are recorded in a deferred asset account (included within Investments in water assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets) until the related net water credits become estimable and are recognized by the applicable water district, at which time such costs will be reclassified as long-term water assets (also within Investments in water assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets).
Impairment
We evaluate our entire portfolio of water assets each quarter for any impairment indicators and perform an impairment analysis on those select water assets that have an indication of impairment. If this analysis indicates that the carrying value may not be recoverable, an impairment loss is recorded in earnings equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. As of September 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, we concluded that no water assets were impaired.
NOTE 6. BORROWINGS

(1)Where applicable, stated interest rates are before interest patronage (as described below).
As of September 30, 2026, the above borrowings were collateralized by certain of our farms with an aggregate net book value of approximately $945.0 million. The weighted-average stated interest rate charged on the above borrowings (excluding the impact of debt issuance costs and before any interest patronage, or refunded interest) was 3.96 % and 3.87 % for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, as compared to 3.81 % and 3.80 % for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. In addition, 2025 interest patronage from our Farm Credit Notes Payable (as defined below) resulted in a 21.0 % reduction (approximately 95 basis points) to the stated interest rates on such borrowings. See below under “—Farm Credit Notes Payable—Interest Patronage” for further discussion on interest patronage.
As of September 30, 2026, we were in compliance with all covenants applicable to the above borrowings.
MetLife Facility
15
As amended, our credit facility with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) consists of $75.0 million of revolving equity lines of credit (the “MetLife Lines of Credit”), a $75.0 million long-term note payable (the “2020 MetLife Term Note”), and a $100.0 million long-term note payable (the “2022 MetLife Term Note,” and together with the MetLife Lines of Credit and the 2020 MetLife Term Note, the “MetLife Facility”).
The following table summarizes the pertinent terms of the MetLife Facility as of September 30, 2026 (dollars in thousands, except for footnotes):

(1)Based on the properties that were pledged as collateral under the MetLife Facility, as of September 30, 2026, the maximum additional amount we could draw under the facility was approximately $53.0 million.
(2)The interest rate on the MetLife Lines of Credit is subject to a minimum annualized rate of 2.50 %, plus an unused fee ranging from 0.10 % to 0.20 % on undrawn amounts (based on the balance drawn under each line of credit).
(3)If the aggregate commitments under the 2020 MetLife Term Note and the 2022 MetLife Term Note are not fully utilized by December 31, 2026, MetLife has no obligation to disburse the additional funds under either note.
(4)Interest rates on future disbursements under each of the 2020 MetLife Term Note and the 2022 MetLife Term Note will be based on prevailing market rates at the time of such disbursements. In addition, through December 31, 2026, the 2020 MetLife Term Note and the 2022 MetLife Term Note are each subject to an unused fee ranging from 0.10 % to 0.20 % on undrawn amounts (based on the balance drawn under the respective note).
Farmer Mac Facility
Through certain subsidiaries of our Operating Partnership, we have entered into a bond purchase agreement (the “Bond Purchase Agreement”) with Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation (“Farmer Mac”) and Farmer Mac Mortgage Securities Corporation for a secured note purchase facility (the “Farmer Mac Facility”). As amended from time to time, the Farmer Mac Facility currently provides for bond issuances up to an aggregate amount of $225.0 million. Pursuant to the Bond Purchase Agreement, as further amended in June 2023, we may issue new bonds under the Farmer Mac Facility through December 31, 2026, and the final maturity date for new bonds issued under the facility will be the date that is ten years from the applicable issuance date. We did not issue any new bonds under the Farmer Mac Facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2026.
As of September 30, 2026, we had approximately $22.0 million of bonds issued and outstanding under the Farmer Mac Facility.
Farm Credit
Farm Credit Notes Payable
From time to time since September 2014, through certain subsidiaries of our Operating Partnership, we have entered into various loan agreements (collectively, the “Farm Credit Notes Payable”) with various different Farm Credit associations (collectively, “Farm Credit”). We did not enter into any new mortgage loan agreements with Farm Credit during the nine months ended September 30, 2026.
Farm Credit Facility
On April 27, 2026, we entered into a new revolving line of credit with Farm Credit of Central Florida, ACA (“Farm Credit CFL”) that provides for borrowings of up to $37.0 million (the “Farm Credit Facility”). The Farm Credit Facility matures on April 1, 2030, and borrowings thereunder bear interest at a variable rate equal to the prime rate less 0.50 %, prior to the effect of any interest patronage. The Farm Credit Facility also includes an unused commitment fee of 0.15 % per annum on the undrawn portion. As of September 30, 2026, we had no amounts outstanding under the Farm Credit Facility, and, based on the level of collateral pledged, the full $37.0 million remained available to us.
Interest Patronage
Interest patronage, or refunded interest, on our borrowings from Farm Credit is generally recorded upon receipt and included in Other income in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Receipt of interest patronage typically occurs in the first half of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the respective interest expense is accrued. The following table provides information about interest patronage recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 related to interest accrued on the Farm Credit Notes Payable during 2025 and 2024, respectively (dollars in thousands):

(2)Relates to interest accrued on the Farm Credit Notes Payable during calendar year 2025. The full amount was recorded in the first quarter of 2026.
(3)Relates to interest accrued on the Farm Credit Notes Payable during calendar year 2024. Of this amount, approximately $0.1 million was recorded in the third quarter of 2024, and approximately $1.7 million was recorded in the first quarter of 2025.
Interest patronage is paid at Farm Credit’s discretion, and we are therefore unable to estimate the amount of interest patronage to be received, if any, related to interest accrued during 2026 on the Farm Credit Notes Payable. As of September 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the aggregate principal balance of the Farm Credit Notes Payable that were eligible for interest patronage was approximately $135.7 million and $144.9 million, respectively.

Fair Value
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement (Subtopic 820)” (“ASC 820”), provides a definition of fair value that focuses on the exchange (exit) price of an asset or liability in the principal, or most advantageous market, and prioritizes the use of market-based inputs to the valuation. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:
•Level 1 — inputs are based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
•Level 2 — inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active or inactive markets or model-based valuation techniques, for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and
•Level 3 — inputs are generally unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. These unobservable inputs are generally supported by little or no market activity and are based upon management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
As of September 30, 2026, the aggregate fair value of our notes and bonds payable was approximately $437.6 million, as compared to an aggregate carrying value (excluding unamortized related debt issuance costs) of approximately $455.6 million. The fair value of our notes and bonds payable is valued using Level 3 inputs under the hierarchy established by ASC 820-10 and is calculated based on a discounted cash flow analysis, using discount rates based on management’s estimates of market interest rates on debt with comparable terms. Further, due to the revolving nature and variable interest rates applicable to the MetLife Lines of Credit, their aggregate fair value as of September 30, 2026, is deemed to approximate their aggregate carrying value of $37.1
Interest Rate Swap Agreements
In order to hedge our exposure to variable interest rates, we have entered into various interest rate swap agreements in connection with certain of our mortgage financings. In accordance with these swap agreements, we will pay our counterparty a fixed interest rate on a quarterly basis and receive payments from our counterparty equal to the respective stipulated floating rates. We have adopted the fair value measurement provision for these financial instruments, and the aggregate fair value of our interest rate swap agreements is recorded in Other assets, net or Other liabilities, net, as appropriate, on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Generally, in the absence of observable market data, we will estimate the fair value of our interest rate swaps using estimates of certain data points, including estimated remaining life, counterparty credit risk, current market yield, and interest rate spreads of similar securities as of the measurement date. In accordance with the Financial
17
Accounting Standards Board’s fair value measurement guidance, we have made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of our derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio. As of September 30, 2026, our interest rate swaps were valued using Level 2 inputs.
In addition, we have designated our interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is initially recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period(s) affected by the hedged transaction. During the next 12 months, we estimate that an additional $1.8 million will be reclassified as a reduction to interest expense.
We had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk as of September 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025 (dollars in thousands):

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features
We have agreements with each of our derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if we default on any of our indebtedness, then we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations. As of September 30, 2026, we did not have any derivatives in a net liability position, nor have we posted any collateral related to these agreements.
NOTE 7. CUMULATIVE TERM PREFERRED STOCK
In January 2021, we completed a public offering of 5.00 % Series D Cumulative Term Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series D Term Preferred Stock”), at a public offering price of $25.00 per share. As a result of this offering (including the underwriters’ exercise of their option to purchase additional shares to cover over-allotments), we issued a total of 2,415,000 shares of the Series D Term Preferred Stock for gross proceeds of approximately $60.4 million and net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses borne by us, of approximately $58.3 million.
On January 30, 2026, we redeemed all of our outstanding shares of Series D Term Preferred Stock at a cash redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends to, but excluding, the redemption date. In total, we paid approximately $60.6 million for the redemption of the Series D Term Preferred Stock. Our Series D Term Preferred Stock was traded under the ticker symbol “LANDM” on Nasdaq until it was delisted on the date we redeemed all outstanding shares.
NOTE 8. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Our Adviser and Administrator
We are externally managed pursuant to contractual arrangements with our Adviser and our Administrator, which collectively employ all of our personnel and pay their salaries, benefits, and general expenses directly. Both our Adviser and Administrator are affiliates of ours, as their parent company is owned and controlled by David Gladstone, our chairman, chief executive officer, and president. Mr. Gladstone also serves as the chairman and chief executive officer of both our Adviser and Administrator. In addition, Michael LiCalsi, our chief administrative officer, co-general counsel, and co-secretary, also serves
18
in the same roles for our Adviser and Administrator (in addition to serving as our Administrator’s president). Erich Hellmold, our co-general counsel and co-secretary, also serves in the same roles for our Adviser and Administrator. John Sateri, our chief investment officer, also serves in the same role for our Adviser.
We have entered into an investment advisory agreement with our Adviser (the “Advisory Agreement”) and an administration agreement with our Administrator (the “Administration Agreement”). Both the Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement were approved unanimously by our Board of Directors, including our independent directors. A summary of the compensation terms for the Advisory Agreement and a summary of the Administration Agreement is below.
Advisory Agreement
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, our Adviser is compensated in the form of a base management fee and, each as applicable, an incentive fee, a capital gains fee, and a termination fee. Our Adviser does not charge acquisition or disposition fees when we acquire or dispose of properties, as is common in other externally-managed REITs. Each of the base management, incentive, capital gains, and termination fees is described below.
Base Management Fee
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, a base management fee is paid quarterly and is calculated at an annual rate of 0.60 % (0.15 % per quarter) of the prior calendar quarter’s “Gross Tangible Real Estate,” defined as the gross cost of tangible real estate owned by us (including land and land improvements, permanent plantings, irrigation and drainage systems, farm-related facilities, and other tangible site improvements), prior to any accumulated depreciation, and as shown on our balance sheet or the notes thereto for the applicable quarter.
Incentive Fee
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, an incentive fee is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears if the Pre-Incentive Fee FFO (defined below) for a particular quarter exceeds a hurdle rate of 1.75 % (7.0 % annualized) of the prior calendar quarter’s Total Adjusted Common Equity.
For purposes of this calculation, Pre-Incentive Fee FFO is defined in the Advisory Agreement as FFO (also as defined in the Advisory Agreement) accrued by the Company during the current calendar quarter (prior to any incentive fee calculation for the current calendar quarter), less any dividends declared on preferred stock securities that are not treated as a liability for GAAP purposes. In addition, Total Adjusted Common Equity is defined as common stockholders’ equity plus non-controlling common interests in the Operating Partnership, if any (each as reported on our balance sheet), adjusted to exclude unrealized gains and losses and certain other one-time events and non-cash items.
Our Adviser receives: (i) no incentive fee in any calendar quarter in which the Pre-Incentive Fee FFO does not exceed the hurdle rate; (ii) 100 % of the Pre-Incentive Fee FFO with respect to that portion of such Pre-Incentive Fee FFO, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but is less than 2.1875 % in any calendar quarter (8.75 % annualized); and (iii) 20 % of the amount of the Pre-Incentive Fee FFO, if any, that exceeds 2.1875 % in any calendar quarter (8.75 % annualized).
Capital Gains Fee
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, a capital gains fee is calculated and payable in arrears at the end of each fiscal year (or upon termination of the Advisory Agreement). The capital gains fee shall equal: (i) 15 % of the cumulative aggregate realized capital gains minus the cumulative aggregate realized capital losses, minus (ii) any aggregate capital gains fees paid in prior periods. For purposes of this calculation, realized capital gains and losses will be calculated as (x) the sales price of the property, minus (y) any costs to sell the property and the then-current gross value of the property (which includes the property’s original acquisition price plus any subsequent, non-reimbursed capital improvements). At the end of each fiscal year, if this figure is negative, no capital gains fee shall be paid.
Termination Fee
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, in the event of our termination of the agreement with our Adviser for any reason (with 120 days’ prior written notice and the vote of at least two-thirds of our independent directors), a termination fee would be payable to the Adviser equal to three times the average annual base management fee and incentive fee earned by the Adviser during the 24-month period prior to such termination.
Administration Agreement
Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, we pay for our allocable portion of the Administrator’s expenses incurred while performing its obligations to us, including, but not limited to, rent and the salaries and benefits expenses of our Administrator’s employees, including our chief financial officer, chief valuation officer, treasurer, chief compliance officer, chief administrative officer, co-general counsels and co-secretaries, and their respective staffs.
19
As approved by our Board of Directors, our allocable portion of the Administrator’s expenses is generally derived by multiplying our Administrator’s total expenses by the approximate percentage of time the Administrator’s employees perform services for us in relation to their time spent performing services for all companies serviced by our Administrator under similar contractual agreements.
Gladstone Securities
We have entered into an agreement with Gladstone Securities, LLC (“Gladstone Securities”), for it to act as our non-exclusive agent to assist us with arranging financing for our properties (the “Financing Arrangement Agreement”). Gladstone Securities is a privately-held broker-dealer and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. Gladstone Securities is an affiliate of ours, as its parent company is owned and controlled by Mr. Gladstone, who also serves on the board of managers of Gladstone Securities. In addition, Michael LiCalsi serves in several capacities for Gladstone Securities, including as its chief legal officer, co-secretary, a member of its board of managers, and a managing principal. Erich Hellmold, our co-general counsel and co-secretary, also serves as Gladstone Securities’ co-secretary.
Financing Arrangement Agreement
We pay Gladstone Securities a financing fee in connection with the services it provides to us for securing financing on our properties. Depending on the size of the financing obtained, the maximum amount of the financing fee, which will be payable upon closing of the respective financing, will range from 0.5 % to 1.0 % of the amount of financing obtained. The amount of the financing fee may be reduced or eliminated as determined by us and Gladstone Securities after taking into consideration various factors, including, but not limited to, the involvement of any unrelated third-party brokers and general market conditions.
We did not 15,000 . Through September 30, 2026, the total amount of financing fees paid to Gladstone Securities represented approximately 0.14 % of the total financings secured since the Financing Arrangement Agreement has been in place.
Dealer-Manager Agreement
We had entered into a dealer-manager agreement with Gladstone Securities (the “Dealer-Manager Agreement”), pursuant to which Gladstone Securities served as our exclusive dealer-manager in connection with the offering of our 5.00 % Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series E Preferred Stock”), which expired on December 31, 2025.
Pursuant to the Dealer-Manager Agreement, Gladstone Securities provided certain sales, promotional, and marketing services to us in connection with the offering of the Series E Preferred Stock, and we generally paid Gladstone Securities the following:
ia selling commission of up to 7.0 % of the gross proceeds from sales in the offering (the “Selling Commissions”), and
iia dealer-manager fee of 3.0 % of the gross proceeds from sales in the offering (the “Dealer-Manager Fees”).
Gladstone Securities, in its sole discretion, was permitted to remit all or a portion of the Selling Commissions and also reallow all or a portion of the Dealer-Manager Fees to participating broker-dealers and wholesalers in support of the offerings. The terms of the Dealer-Manager Agreement were approved by our Board of Directors, including its independent directors.

OVERVIEW
General
We are an externally-managed, agricultural real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that is primarily engaged in owning and leasing farmland, including through lease structures with a variable rent component based on the gross revenues generated from certain farms in lieu of fixed base rent. From time to time, and on a temporary basis, we may also directly operate certain of our farms via management agreements with third-party operators and/or through a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”). As of the date of this filing, we own 143 farms totaling 98,245 acres across 14 states in the U.S. and 55,657 acre-feet of water assets in California. In addition, two of our properties (consisting of four farms) are currently being directly operated by us.
We conduct substantially all of our activities through, and all of our properties are held, directly or indirectly, by Gladstone Land Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). Gladstone Land Corporation controls the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and currently owns all of the units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”). In addition, we have elected for Gladstone Land Advisers, Inc. (“Land Advisers”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, to be treated as a TRS.
Gladstone Management Corporation (our “Adviser”) manages our real estate portfolio pursuant to an advisory agreement, and Gladstone Administration, LLC (our “Administrator”), provides administrative services to us pursuant to an administration agreement. Our Adviser and our Administrator collectively employ all of our personnel and directly pay their salaries, benefits, and general expenses.
Portfolio Diversification
As of the date of this filing, our farmland portfolio currently consists of 143 farms leased to 82 different, unrelated third-party tenants who grow over 60 different types of crops on our farms. Our investment focus is in farmland suitable for growing either fresh produce annual row crops (e.g., certain berries and vegetables) or certain permanent crops (e.g., almonds, blueberries, pistachios, and wine grapes), with an ancillary focus on farmland growing certain commodity crops (e.g., beans and corn).
The following table summarizes the different geographic locations (by state) of our farms owned as of and during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 (dollars in thousands):

(1)According to the California Chapter of the American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers, there are eight distinct growing regions within California; our farms are spread across six of these growing regions.
(2)During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we began recognizing lease revenues from two tenants (who collectively lease eight farms—four in Arizona, three in Washington, and one in Oregon) on a cash basis. Negative revenue reflected above relates to the write-off of certain net deferred rent assets and uncollected receivables.
Leases
General
Most of our leases are on a triple-net basis, an arrangement under which, in addition to rent, the tenant is required to pay the related taxes, insurance costs, maintenance, and other operating costs. Our leases generally have original terms ranging from 3 to 10 years for farms growing row crops and 7 to 15 years for farms growing permanent crops (in each case, often with options to extend the lease further). Our lease agreements will generally include one of the following rental structures: (i) fixed base cash rents, (ii) fixed base cash rents, plus a variable component (referred to as “participation rents”) based on the gross revenues generated from the respective farms, or, to a lesser extent, (iii) no fixed base cash rents (or, in certain cases, a cash allowance to cover certain operating or capital costs), in exchange for a significantly higher share of participation rents. Fixed base cash rent is generally payable to us in advance on an annual, semi-annual, or quarterly basis, with such rent typically subject to periodic escalation clauses as set forth within the lease, while participation rent is generally payable to us annually, with the majority of it being recognized in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year.
Currently, 82 of our farms are leased on a pure, triple-net basis, 43 farms are leased on a partial-net basis (with us, as landlord, responsible for all or a portion of the related property taxes), 3 farms are leased on a single-net basis (with us, as landlord, responsible for the related property taxes, as well as certain maintenance, repairs, or insurance costs), 4 farms are direct-operated by us through third-party management agreements, 6 farms are vacant and 5 farms are classified as held for sale. Additionally, 28 of our farms are leased under agreements that include participation rents, though such leases often include a guarantee of a minimum amount of rental income.
Lease Expirations
Agricultural leases are often shorter term in nature (relative to leases of other types of real estate assets), so in any given year, we may have multiple leases up for extension or renewal. The following table summarizes the lease expirations by year for the farms owned and with leases in place as of September 30, 2026 (dollars in thousands):

(1)Certain lease agreements encompass multiple farms.
(2)Primarily consists of ancillary leases (e.g., renewable energy leases; oil, gas, and mineral leases; telecommunications leases; etc.) with varying expirations on certain of our farms.
We are currently exploring a variety of options with certain of our 2026 lease expirations, including negotiating lease terms with existing and prospective tenants and evaluating potential disposition opportunities. In addition, while we seek to lease all properties under traditional leases that involve a certain level of fixed base rent, with respect to expirations on certain western permanent crop farms, we may also decide to proceed with a modified lease structure that involves a reduced base rent amount (or none) and/or, in certain cases, a cash lease incentive, in exchange for an increased level of participation rents, or we may decide to proceed to operate certain of these properties ourselves via third-party management agreements. Regarding all vacancies and upcoming lease expirations, there can be no assurance that we will be able to renew the existing leases or execute new leases at rental rates favorable to us, if at all, or be able to find replacement tenants, if necessary.
Business Environment
Macroeconomic and Agricultural Market Conditions
Inflation
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) increased 3.7% over the 12-month period ended September 30, 2026, reflecting continued moderation from peak inflation levels observed in mid-2022. Food prices also increased at a slower rate, with the overall food category up by 2.5% over the same period. However, over the past five years, food prices have risen by 24.7%, outpacing the overall CPI increase of 22.8% and reflecting sustained longer-term inflationary pressures across many agricultural markets. In addition, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s July 2026 Land Values Summary reported that nationwide farm real estate values increased 3.4% year-over-year, while cropland values rose 3.3%. This data indicates that farmland values have continued to appreciate, although at a more moderate pace than in prior years. While elevated input costs continue to impact farm operators, we believe these pressures are being partially offset in certain markets to the extent food prices continue to keep pace with or exceed broader inflation trends.
Interest Rates
The Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) resumed monetary easing in late 2025, lowering the target range for the federal funds rate by a total of 75 basis points during the second half of 2025. After maintaining this range through most of 2026, the Fed raised rates by 25 basis points in September 2026 and maintained the resulting target range of 3.75% to 4.00% at its most recent meeting in October, citing persistent inflationary pressures and continued economic growth amid elevated uncertainty. Benchmark yields have increased during 2026, with the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield recently exceeding 5.0%, compared with approximately 4.0% earlier in the year. Credit availability remains selective, with lenders continuing to exercise caution amid higher borrowing costs and economic uncertainty. As a result, elevated financing costs and selective lending conditions continue to limit our ability to pursue new farmland acquisitions.
Currently, approximately 91.9% of our borrowings bear interest at fixed rates. On a weighted-average basis, our notes and bonds payable bear interest at an effective interest rate of 3.57% for another 2.1 years. As a result, we have not experienced a significant impact from increased interest rates in recent years. We believe our current debt structure helps mitigate our exposure to higher interest rates; however, approximately $132.5 million of our fixed-rate borrowings are scheduled to reprice during the first quarter of 2027, which could result in higher interest expense.
Geopolitical, Trade, and Agricultural Market Conditions
The ongoing conflict in the Middle East, together with broader trade, tariff, and domestic policy developments, continues to contribute to uncertainty in U.S. agricultural markets. Despite this uncertainty, U.S. export demand and pricing for certain tree nuts have remained resilient, supporting improved grower economics. Input cost inflation also remains a concern across crops
28
and regions, particularly with respect to energy, fertilizer, and labor costs, and growers continue to pursue operating efficiencies to help protect profit margins. In addition, uncertainty surrounding the Farm Bill and ongoing negotiations regarding trade relations with Canada and Mexico may complicate longer-term operating and investment decisions for producers.
Certain crops grown on our farms, particularly almonds and pistachios, remain exposed to international trade conditions, as a significant portion of U.S.-produced almonds and pistachios is exported annually. However, improving export demand and pricing trends have supported more favorable near-term market conditions for tree nut growers. In contrast, crops with stronger domestic demand characteristics, including berries and vegetables, are generally less directly impacted by export market volatility, although they may still be affected by trade developments involving key North American trading partners, including Canada and Mexico.
Almond markets continue to experience strong demand across export markets, particularly relative to available supply. While buyers have remained focused on meeting near-term needs, longer-term purchasing activity has remained limited. These market dynamics have supported higher almond prices and a more favorable near-term pricing outlook.
Demand for pistachios also remains strong, particularly in international markets and for pistachio-based consumer products. While the 2025 U.S. pistachio crop reached a record high of approximately 1.6 billion pounds, production from the 2026 crop is currently estimated at approximately 600 million to 700 million pounds, reflecting both the crop’s natural alternate-bearing cycle and an early March heat event that adversely affected pollination across California. These factors, combined with continued strong demand, have supported higher pistachio prices, including a 67% increase in the initial base price announced by our primary processor for the 2026 crop compared with the 2025 crop. Despite higher pricing, the significant reduction in production is expected to negatively impact cash flows for growers, as increased prices may not fully offset the lower yields.
We continue to monitor developments relating to the conflict in the Middle East, tariffs, the Farm Bill, and broader trade policy, although the ultimate impact on crop pricing, export demand, input costs, and grower economics remains uncertain. Prolonged disruptions to export markets or significant increases in production costs could adversely affect rental income, particularly participation rents, on certain farms. In addition, unfavorable trade conditions affecting almonds or pistachios could require us to allocate additional capital to support crop production under certain lease agreements in exchange for higher participation rents.
Another factor affecting export demand is the strength of the U.S. dollar. A weaker dollar generally improves the competitiveness of U.S. agricultural exports and may partially offset certain adverse effects of tariffs and trade-related constraints. Although the U.S. dollar has strengthened modestly thus far in 2026, export demand has remained resilient, reflecting the continued strength of underlying supply and demand fundamentals.
California Water Outlook
The 2025-2026 water year concluded with below-average snowpack but generally near-normal precipitation across much of California. Reservoir storage remains above historical averages, supporting relatively stable near-term water supply conditions. However, certain federal water allocations have remained below expectations, increasing the cost of supplemental water for some of our farms. We have not experienced any material water shortages to date, although regulatory and conveyance constraints continue to affect the availability and cost of water in certain regions. El Niño conditions have developed and are expected to persist into early 2027, which may increase the likelihood of above-average precipitation in parts of California this winter, although the timing and amount of such precipitation remain uncertain.
Sustained wet conditions in recent years have benefited our permanent crop assets by supporting groundwater recharge and improving root zone moisture content. To date, we have not observed any significant water-related stress in our permanent plantings, which continue to appear healthy and in good condition ahead of the 2027 growing season. Meanwhile, the ongoing phased implementation of California’s Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (“SGMA”) continues to impose groundwater pumping restrictions across the state. In response, we are evaluating and participating in supplemental water initiatives intended to mitigate the impact of SGMA-related curtailments, including floodwater capture and storage projects, voluntary fallowing programs, and targeted investments in water infrastructure designed to support long-term access to reliable water supplies. Periods of surplus surface water may increase the availability of lower-cost water supplies from certain water purveyors, and we continue to monitor such opportunities as part of our long-term water strategy. Based on current conditions, we believe our farms are generally well positioned for the 2027 growing season and beyond.

Crop Sales and Cost of Sales
Pursuant to management agreements with third-party operators, we currently manage (i) a 2,409-acre property (consisting of two farms) in Kern County, California, including 2,293 acres of bearing almond and pistachio orchards, and (ii) a 165-acre farm in Umatilla County, Oregon, including 135 acres of wine grape vineyards. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we completed the harvest of an orange crop remaining on a farm in St. Lucie County, Florida, following the early termination of the prior tenant’s lease.
Revenue from the sale of crops and the related cost of sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, are shown in the following table (dollars in thousands):

(2)The majority of this revenue relates to a grower partner bonus associated with the 2025 pistachio crop, which is recognized as the amount becomes determinable and collectible. The related growing costs for this crop were previously expensed during the three months ended December 31, 2025.
(3)Reflective of a change in estimate, as the actual water and utility usage during the 2025 crop year was lower than previously estimated.
Solar Option Agreements
In October 2026, we entered into two agreements granting a third-party solar company options to purchase up to 5,638 acres of farmland in California for potential solar energy development. The agreements have terms of five and six years, respectively, and provide for aggregate annual option payments beginning at approximately $331,000 in the first year and increasing thereafter, provided the options remain in place. The options may be exercised or terminated by the solar company at any time during their respective terms.
Impairment
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, we recognized aggregate impairment charges of approximately $2.2 million and $7.3 million, respectively, related to three properties: one in St. Lucie County, Florida (consisting of two
30
farms); one in Yuma County, Arizona (consisting of four farms); and one in Walla Walla County, Washington (consisting of one farm). The impairment charges were recorded to reduce the carrying values of these properties to their respective agreed-upon purchase prices pursuant to the related purchase and sale agreements, less estimated closing costs.
Vacant, Direct-operated, and Non-accrual Properties
We currently have 7 farms that are wholly or partially vacant, 4 farms that are being direct-operated by us through third-party management agreements, and 11 farms leased to four tenants for which lease revenue is being recognized on a cash basis due to concerns regarding the collectibility of the remaining contractual lease payments. In addition, two properties included in the above totals (consisting of five farms) are under contract to be sold and are currently held for sale.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we recognized approximately $1.6 million of lease revenue related to these farms and approximately $5.2 million of net profits from crop sales (see above, under “—Crop Sales and Cost of Sales”), compared to approximately $6.1 million of lease revenue for the prior-year period.
We are evaluating both leasing and sale alternatives for each of these farms and are engaged in discussions with prospective tenants and buyers for certain of these properties. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to secure agreements on favorable terms, or at all. With respect to the farms on non-accrual status, we continue to work with the respective tenants to resolve the outstanding rent amounts and, where possible, will seek to reach agreements on the remaining payments. Such agreements may include establishing payment plans, deferring portions of rent due, or agreeing to terminate the leases.

Series E Redemptions
From July 1, 2026, through the date of this filing, 42,000 shares of our 5.00% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series E Preferred Stock”) were tendered for optional redemption, which were satisfied with aggregate cash payments of approximately $946,000.
Our Adviser and Administrator
We are externally managed pursuant to contractual arrangements with our Adviser and our Administrator (both affiliates of ours), which collectively employ all of our personnel and pay their salaries, benefits, and general expenses directly. The current investment advisory agreement with our Adviser (the “Advisory Agreement”) and the current administration agreement with our Administrator (the “Administration Agreement”) were each approved unanimously by our Board of Directors, including, specifically, our independent directors.
A summary of certain compensation terms within the Advisory Agreement and a summary of the Administration Agreement is below.
Advisory Agreement
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, our Adviser is compensated in the form of a base management fee and, each as applicable, an incentive fee, a capital gains fee, and a termination fee. Our Adviser does not charge acquisition or disposition fees when we acquire or dispose of properties, as is common in other externally-managed REITs. The base management and incentive fees are described below. For information on the termination fee, refer to Note 8, “Related-Party Transactions—Our Adviser and Administrator—Advisory Agreement,” within the accompanying notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Base Management Fee
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, a base management fee is paid quarterly and is calculated at an annual rate of 0.60% (0.15% per quarter) of the prior calendar quarter’s “Gross Tangible Real Estate,” defined as the gross cost of tangible real estate owned by us (including land and land improvements, permanent plantings, irrigation and drainage systems, farm-related facilities, and other tangible site improvements), prior to any accumulated depreciation, and as shown on our balance sheet or the notes thereto for the applicable quarter.
Incentive Fee
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, an incentive fee is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears if the Pre-Incentive Fee FFO for a particular quarter exceeded a hurdle rate of 1.75% (7.0% annualized) of the prior calendar quarter’s Total Adjusted Common Equity.
For purposes of this calculation, Pre-Incentive Fee FFO is defined in the Advisory Agreement as FFO (also as defined in the Advisory Agreement) accrued by the Company during the current calendar quarter (prior to any incentive fee calculation for the current calendar quarter), less any dividends declared on preferred stock securities that were not treated as a liability for GAAP purposes. In addition, Total Adjusted Common Equity is defined as common stockholders’ equity plus non-controlling common interests in our Operating Partnership, if any (each as reported on our balance sheet), adjusted to exclude unrealized gains and losses and certain other one-time events and non-cash items.
Our Adviser would receive: (i) no incentive fee in any calendar quarter in which the Pre-Incentive Fee FFO did not exceed the hurdle rate; (ii) 100% of the Pre-Incentive Fee FFO with respect to that portion of such Pre-Incentive Fee FFO, if any, that
32
exceeded the hurdle rate but was less than 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized); and (iii) 20% of the amount of the Pre-Incentive Fee FFO, if any, that exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized).
Capital Gains Fee
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, a capital gains fee is calculated and payable in arrears at the end of each fiscal year (or upon termination of the Advisory Agreement). The capital gains fee shall equal: (i) 15% of the cumulative aggregate realized capital gains minus the cumulative aggregate realized capital losses, minus (ii) any aggregate capital gains fees paid in prior periods. For purposes of this calculation, realized capital gains and losses will be calculated as (x) the sales price of the property, minus (y) any costs to sell the property and the then-current gross value of the property (which includes the property’s original acquisition price plus any subsequent, non-reimbursed capital improvements). At the end of each fiscal year, if this figure is negative, no capital gains fee shall be paid.
Administration Agreement
Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, we pay for our allocable portion of the Administrator’s expenses incurred while performing its obligations to us, including, but not limited to, rent and the salaries and benefits expenses of our Administrator’s employees, including our chief financial officer, chief valuation officer, treasurer, chief compliance officer, chief administrative officer, chief investment officer, co-general counsels and co-secretaries, and their respective staffs. Our allocable portion of the Administrator’s expenses is generally derived by multiplying our Administrator’s total expenses by the approximate percentage of time the Administrator’s employees perform services for us in relation to their time spent performing services for all companies serviced by our Administrator under similar contractual agreements.
Significant Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make judgments that are subjective in nature to make certain estimates and assumptions. Application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment regarding the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties, and, as a result, actual results could materially differ from these estimates. A summary of our significant accounting policies is provided in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to our consolidated financial statements in our Form 10-K. There were no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2026.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the purposes of the following discussions on certain operating revenues and expenses, same-property basis represents properties we owned for the entirety of the respective comparative periods presented.
With regard to the comparisons between the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 versus 2025:
•We owned 142 farms as of September 30, 2026, that are considered our same-property portfolio. Same-property occupancy (based on farmable acres and including farms that were direct-operated or on non-accrual status) increased approximately 2.0% to 97.7% as of September 30, 2026, compared to 95.7% as of September 30, 2025.
◦Included within our same-property portfolio are farms that were wholly or partially vacant, direct-operated, or on non-accrual status during all or a portion of the periods presented.
▪For the three months ended September 30, 2026, we had 25 farms that were vacant, direct-operated, or on non-accrual status, as compared to 17 farms in the prior-year period.
▪For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we had 27 farms that were vacant, direct-operated, or on non-accrual status, as compared to 18 farms in the prior-year period.
•From January 1, 2025, through September 30, 2026, we did not acquire any new farms and disposed of 15 farms.
A comparison of results of components comprising our operating income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 is below (dollars in thousands):

(1)Tenant reimbursements generally represent tenant-reimbursed property operating expenses on certain of our farms, including property taxes, insurance premiums, and other property-related expenses. Similar amounts are also recorded as property operating expenses during the respective periods.
Same-property Basis – 2026 compared to 2025
Lease revenues from fixed lease payments decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, primarily due to certain farms that were vacant, direct-operated, or for which lease revenue was recognized on a cash basis (rather than a straight-line basis) due to full collectability of future rental payments not being considered probable as a result of tenant credit issues. One property (consisting of two farms) that was direct-operated during the current-year period (see “—Crop Sales and Cost of Sales” below for further discussion) was leased for a portion of the prior-year period. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we began recognizing lease revenues from two tenants (who collectively lease eight farms) on a cash basis.
The increase in lease revenues from participation rents was primarily attributable to a grower partner bonus associated with the 2025 pistachio crop, which is recognized as the amount becomes determinable and collectible. The increase was also driven by higher yields (i.e., pounds per acre) on certain pistachio farms, partly due to the alternate-bearing nature of pistachio trees, coupled with higher prices for both pistachios and almonds during the 2025-2026 marketing period.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we received a lease termination payment from an outgoing tenant who leased three of our farms. After applying a portion of the amount towards certain outstanding receivables owed by the same tenant, we recognized additional lease revenue of approximately $2.4 million upon receipt.
Other – 2026 compared to 2025
Lease revenue from properties acquired or disposed of decreased due to the sale of 15 farms subsequent to December 31, 2024.
The fluctuations in tenant reimbursement and other revenue are primarily driven by payments made by certain tenants on our behalf (pursuant to the lease agreements) to unconsolidated entities of ours that convey water to the respective properties. As such, the timing of tenant reimbursement revenue fluctuates as payments are made by our tenants. Amounts recorded during the current-year period included increased reimbursements from certain tenants for costs to deliver water to their farms via a pipeline owned by an unconsolidated entity of ours.
Crop Sales and Cost of Sales
Revenue from the sale of crops and the related cost of sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, are shown in the following table (dollars in thousands):

(1)Reflected as a line item on our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
(2)The majority of this revenue relates to a grower partner bonus associated with the 2025 pistachio crop, which is recognized as the amount becomes determinable and collectible. The related growing costs for this crop were previously expensed during the three months ended December 31, 2025.
(3)Reflective of a change in estimate, as the actual water and utility usage during the 2025 crop year was lower than previously estimated.
35
See Note 4, “Crop Inventory and Crop Sales,” within the accompanying notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Other Operating Revenue
Other operating revenue consists of non-lease revenue generated as a result of activities performed on certain of our properties. During the three months ended September 30, 2026, we recorded approximately $25,000 in such revenue. Additionally, in connection with the transfer and storage of surplus water on behalf of a third party using a groundwater recharge facility constructed on one of our farms, we recognized related non-cash revenue of approximately $8,000 and $49,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. See Note 5, “Investments in Water Assets,” within the accompanying notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
Operating Expenses
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, primarily due to the acceleration of depreciation associated with certain permanent plantings (as a result of shortened useful lives), as well as additional depreciation related to capital improvements made on certain of our farms. The increase was partially offset by lower depreciation resulting from the disposition of certain assets, including the sale of 15 farms subsequent to December 31, 2024, and certain assets reaching the end of their useful lives during the three months ended September 30, 2026.
Property operating expenses
Property operating expenses consist primarily of real estate taxes, repair and maintenance expenses, insurance premiums, and other miscellaneous operating expenses paid for certain of our properties. The following table provides a summary of the property operating expenses recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 (dollars in thousands):

(1)Represents certain operating expenses (property taxes, insurance premiums, and other property-related expenses) paid by us that, per the respective leases, are required to be reimbursed to us by the tenant. Similar amounts are also recorded as lease revenue when earned in accordance with the lease.
Same-property Basis – 2026 compared to 2025
Property operating expenses increased primarily due to costs incurred to provide supplemental water in accordance with a lease obligation on one of our farms and higher legal expenses related to protecting water rights on certain farms in California. The increase was also attributable to additional costs associated with certain farms that were vacant, direct-operated, or on non-accrual status, including additional property taxes and other operating expenses that were previously the responsibility of the tenants, as well as legal fees incurred in connection with rent collection and lease termination efforts.
Other – 2026 compared to 2025
Property operating expenses on properties acquired or disposed of decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, due to the sale of 15 farms subsequent to December 31, 2024.
The fluctuations in tenant-reimbursed property operating expenses are primarily driven by miscellaneous property operating costs incurred by us in connection with our ownership interests in certain unconsolidated entities, for which our tenants are contractually obligated to reimburse us under the terms of the respective leases. Such expenses will fluctuate commensurate with the timing and amount of miscellaneous operating costs incurred by the underlying entities. Amounts recorded during the current-year period included additional costs to deliver water to certain of our farms via a pipeline owned by an unconsolidated entity of ours, which costs were reimbursed to us by our tenants.

(4)Represents a capital gains fee earned during the year ended December 31, 2018; however, the full amount of the fee was credited back to us via a voluntary and irrevocable waiver granted to us by our Adviser.
(5)The capital gains fee is due annually in arrears and is subject to further adjustment through the end of each fiscal year. During the second quarter of 2025, we incurred additional losses associated with the disposition of certain assets, resulting in a reversal of the capital gains fee recognized during the first quarter of 2025.
The base management fee decreased primarily due to the disposition of 15 farms since December 31, 2024.
Our Adviser earned an incentive fee during each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, due to our Pre-Incentive Fee FFO (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) exceeding the required hurdle rate during the third quarter of 2026. However, during the third quarter of 2026, our Adviser granted us a non-contractual, unconditional, and irrevocable waiver to be applied against the entire incentive fee earned during the quarter. No incentive fee was earned by our Adviser during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as our Pre-Incentive Fee FFO did not exceed the required hurdle rate.
Our Adviser earned a capital gains fee during the three months ended March 31, 2025, driven by the gains recognized on the sale of certain farms completed during the quarter. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we incurred additional capital losses associated with the disposition of certain assets, resulting in a reversal of the capital gains fee recorded during the first quarter. The capital gains fee, net of any credits that may be granted by our Adviser, is due in arrears at the end of each fiscal year and is subject to further adjustment through the end of each fiscal year as additional assets are disposed of.
The changes in the administration fee were driven by our relative utilization of our Administrator’s resources compared with affiliated companies also serviced by our Administrator.
Other Operating Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of professional fees, director fees, stockholder-related expenses, insurance, acquisition-related costs associated with investment opportunities no longer being pursued, and other miscellaneous expenses. General and administrative expenses increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, primarily due to higher professional fees, including the write-off of unallocated deferred costs associated with the universal shelf registration statement filed in 2023, which expired during the second quarter of 2026.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, we recognized aggregate impairment charges of approximately $2.2 million and $7.3 million, respectively, related to three properties: one in St. Lucie County, Florida (consisting of two farms); one in Yuma County, Arizona (consisting of four farms); and one in Walla Walla County, Washington (consisting of one farm) due to the estimated fair values being lower than their respective carrying values. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized an impairment charge of approximately $316,000 on one property (consisting of two farms) located in St. Lucie County, Florida, due to the estimated fair value being lower than the carrying value.

Other (Expense) Income
Other income generally consists of interest patronage received from Farm Credit (as defined in Note 6, “Borrowings—Farm Credit Notes Payable,” in the accompanying notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements) and interest earned on short-term investments. Other income decreased primarily due to lower interest patronage received from Farm Credit (driven by reduced borrowings) and a decrease in interest earned on short-term investments.
During the first quarter of 2026, we recorded approximately $1.4 million of interest patronage from Farm Credit related to interest accrued during 2025, as compared to approximately $1.7 million of interest patronage recorded during the prior-year period that related to interest accrued during 2024. In total, 2025 interest patronage resulted in a 21.0% reduction (approximately 95 basis points) to the interest rate of such borrowings.
Interest expense decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, primarily due to reduced overall borrowings, partially offset by higher interest rates. The weighted-average principal balance of our aggregate borrowings (excluding our cumulative term preferred stock) outstanding during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, was approximately $482.5 million and $479.1 million, respectively, as compared to approximately $486.0 million and $497.8 million for the respective prior-year periods. Excluding interest patronage received on certain of our Farm Credit borrowings and the impact of debt issuance costs, the weighted-average interest rate charged on our aggregate borrowings during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, was 3.96% and 3.87%, respectively, as compared to 3.81% and 3.80% for the respective prior-year periods.
39
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we paid aggregate distributions on the Series D Term Preferred Stock of approximately $243,000, as compared to approximately $2.3 million during the prior-year period. The Series D Term Preferred Stock was redeemed in full on January 30, 2026.
During each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, we recorded a net capital loss, primarily attributable to the sale of two farms in Florida, which resulted in an aggregate net loss of approximately $169,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded a net capital gain, primarily attributable to the sale of seven farms in Florida and two farms in Nebraska, which resulted in an aggregate net gain of approximately $21.6 million. In addition, we recorded losses during each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 from the removal of certain permanent plantings and the disposal of irrigation and other improvements on our farms.
The property and casualty loss recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, was primarily the result of freeze damage to a portion of an orange grove in Florida. The property and casualty recovery recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was the result of an adjustment to the original property and casualty loss recorded during the year ended December 31, 2024, due to damage caused to certain permanent plantings on a farm in Georgia due to Hurricane Helene. After further inspection of the property, it was determined that the damage was not as extensive as originally estimated, resulting in an adjustment to our original estimate.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, we recognized a (loss) income from investments in unconsolidated entities of ours that convey water to certain of our farms of approximately $(91,000) and $(209,000), respectively, as compared to $58,000 and $(128,000) for the respective prior-year periods. The fluctuations in revenue and expense attributable to these unconsolidated entities is primarily driven by miscellaneous property operating costs incurred by these unconsolidated entities and the respective properties’ reimbursements of such costs incurred.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
Our current short- and long-term sources of funds include cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, borrowings (including the undrawn commitments available under various credit facilities), and issuances of additional equity securities. Our current available liquidity is approximately $105.6 million, consisting of approximately $3.6 million in cash on hand and, based on the current level of collateral pledged, approximately $102.0 million of availability under various credit facilities (subject to compliance with covenants). In addition, we currently have certain properties recently valued at a total of approximately $112.8 million that are unencumbered and eligible to be pledged as collateral.
Approximately 91.9% of our borrowings are currently at fixed rates. On a weighted-average basis, our notes and bonds payable bear interest at an effective interest rate of 3.57% for another 2.1 years and have a remaining term of approximately 5.8 years. As a result, with respect to our current borrowings, we have not experienced a significant impact from increased interest rates in recent years. We believe our current debt structure helps mitigate our exposure to higher interest rates; however, approximately $132.5 million of our fixed-rate borrowings are scheduled to reprice during the first quarter of 2027, which could result in higher interest expense. We are in compliance with all of our debt covenants under our respective credit facilities and borrowings, and we believe we currently have adequate liquidity to cover all near- and long-term debt obligations and operating expenses.
Future Capital Needs
Our short- and long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of making principal and interest payments on outstanding borrowings; funding our general operating costs; making dividend payments on our currently-designated preferred securities; making distributions to common stockholders (including non-controlling OP Unitholders, if any) to maintain our qualification as a REIT; and, as capital is available, funding capital improvements and, in certain situations, growing and operational costs on existing farms, repurchasing shares of preferred stock, and funding new farmland and farm-related acquisitions consistent with our investment strategy.
In the near term, we believe that our current and short-term cash resources will be sufficient to service our debt, fund our operating costs, pay dividends on our currently-designated preferred securities, and fund our distributions to common stockholders. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements through various sources of capital, including capacity under current lines of credit, long-term mortgage indebtedness and bond issuances, future equity issuances (including, but not limited to, OP Units through our Operating Partnership as consideration for future acquisitions and shares of common stock through our ATM Program), and other secured and unsecured borrowings.
As opportunities arise, we intend to use a significant portion of any future available liquidity to purchase additional farms and farm-related assets. We continue to actively seek and evaluate acquisitions of additional farms and farm-related assets that satisfy our investment criteria; however, all potential acquisitions will be subject to our due diligence investigation of such properties, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in identifying or acquiring any properties in the future.

Operating Commitments and Obligations
Operating Obligations
In connection with the execution of certain lease agreements, we have committed to provide capital improvements on certain of our farms. Below is a summary of certain of those projects for which we have incurred or accrued costs as of September 30, 2026 (dollars in thousands):

(2)Pursuant to contractual agreements, we will earn additional rent on the cost of these capital improvements as the funds are disbursed by us.
Ground Lease Obligations
In connection with certain farms acquired through a leasehold interest, we assumed certain ground lease arrangements under which we are the lessee. Future minimum lease payments due under the remaining non-cancelable terms of these leases as of September 30, 2026, are as follows (dollars in thousands):

As a result of these ground leases, we recorded lease expense (included within Property operating expenses on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income) of approximately $26,000 and $79,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Cash Flow Resources
The following table summarizes total net cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 (dollars in thousands):

Operating Activities
The majority of our cash from operating activities is generated from rental payments received from tenants and proceeds from crop sales on direct-operated farms. This cash is first used to fund our property-level operating expenses (including growing costs on direct-operated farms), with any remaining cash primarily used for principal and interest payments on our borrowings, management fees to our Adviser, administrative fees to our Administrator, and other corporate-level expenses.
41
Cash from operating activities increased primarily due to higher cash receipts from participation rents and crop sales, as well as a decrease in certain cash allowances paid to tenants in the current year (which were paid in exchange for increasing the participation rent components in the leases) and lower interest payments made. These increases were partially offset by the receipt of a termination fee from an outgoing tenant on three of our farms recognized in the prior year.
Investing Activities
The change in cash from investing activities was primarily due to proceeds received from the sale of certain farms in Florida and Nebraska in the prior year for aggregate net proceeds (after closing costs) of approximately $82.5 million, compared to the sale of two farms in Florida during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, for aggregate net proceeds (after closing costs) of approximately $4.3 million.
Financing Activities
The change in cash from financing activities was primarily due to an increase in net proceeds from common stock issuances of approximately $51.2 million and an increase in aggregate net borrowings of approximately $64.6 million, partially offset by the redemption of all outstanding shares of our Series D Term Preferred Stock in January 2026 for approximately $60.4 million and cash paid to redeem certain preferred securities of approximately $22.1 million.
Debt Capital
MetLife Facility
As amended, our credit facility with MetLife currently consists of $75.0 million of revolving equity lines of credit and an aggregate of $175.0 million of term notes (the “MetLife Facility”). We currently have $37.1 million outstanding under the lines of credit and approximately $34.4 million outstanding on the term notes. While $178.5 million of the full commitment amount under the MetLife Facility remains undrawn, based on the level of collateral pledged, we currently have approximately $53.0 million of availability under the MetLife Facility. The revolving equity lines of credit mature on December 15, 2033, and the draw period for both term notes expires on December 31, 2026, after which MetLife will have no obligation to disburse any additional undrawn funds under the term notes. We are currently in discussions with MetLife to extend this draw period and expect to finalize an extension prior to its expiration.
Farmer Mac Facility
As amended, our agreement with Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation (“Farmer Mac”) currently provides for bond issuances up to an aggregate amount of $225.0 million (the “Farmer Mac Facility”) by December 31, 2026, after which Farmer Mac has no obligation to purchase additional bonds under this facility. To date, we have issued aggregate bonds of approximately $100.1 million under the Farmer Mac Facility.
Farm Credit Facility
Our revolving line of credit with Farm Credit of Central Florida, ACA, provides for borrowings of up to $37.0 million (the “Farm Credit Facility”) and matures on April 1, 2030. We currently have no amounts outstanding under the Farm Credit Facility, and, based on the current level of collateral pledged, the full $37.0 million remains available to us.
Other Lenders
We have established borrowing relationships with several other agricultural lenders and continue to seek additional relationships with new lenders. Accordingly, we expect to enter into additional borrowing arrangements with both existing and new lenders, including in connection with currently unencumbered farms and potential future acquisitions.
Equity Capital
Our current registration statement (the “2026 Registration Statement,” as defined in Note 10, “Equity,” within the accompanying notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements), which expires on April 22, 2029, permits us to issue up to an aggregate of $1.0 billion in securities, consisting of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, debt securities, depository shares, subscription rights, and units, including through separate or concurrent offerings of two or more of such securities. To date, we have issued approximately $4.5 million of common stock under the 2026 Registration Statement.
In addition, we have the ability to, and expect to in the future, issue OP Units to third parties as consideration in future property acquisitions.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2026, we did not have any material off-balance sheet arrangements.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Funds from Operations, Core Funds from Operations, and Adjusted Funds from Operations
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) developed funds from operations (“FFO”) as a relative non-GAAP supplemental measure of operating performance of an equity REIT to recognize that income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the same basis as determined under GAAP. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, is net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of property and impairment losses on property, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We further present core FFO (“CFFO”) and adjusted FFO (“AFFO”), each as described below, as additional non-GAAP financial measures of our operational performance, as we believe both CFFO and AFFO improve comparability on a period-over-period basis and are more useful supplemental metrics for investors to use in assessing our operational performance on a more sustainable basis than FFO. We believe that these additional performance metrics, along with the most directly-comparable GAAP measure, provide investors with helpful insight regarding how management measures our ongoing performance, as each of CFFO and AFFO (and their respective per-share amounts) are used by management and our Board of Directors, as appropriate, in assessing overall performance, as well as in certain decision-making analysis, including, but not limited to, the timing of acquisitions and potential equity raises (and the type of securities to offer in any such equity raises), the determination of any fee credits, and declarations of distributions on our common stock. The non-GAAP financial measures presented herein have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results calculated in accordance with GAAP. We believe that net income is the most directly-comparable GAAP measure to each of FFO, CFFO, and AFFO.
Specifically, we believe that FFO is helpful to investors in better understanding our operating performance, primarily because its calculation excludes depreciation and amortization expense on real estate assets, as we believe that GAAP historical cost depreciation of real estate assets is generally not correlated with changes in the value of those assets, particularly with farmland real estate, the value of which does not diminish in a predictable manner over time, as historical cost depreciation implies. Further, we believe that CFFO and AFFO are helpful in understanding our operating performance in that it removes certain items that, by their nature, are not comparable on a period-over-period basis and therefore tend to obscure actual operating performance. In addition, we believe that providing CFFO and AFFO as additional performance metrics allows investors to gauge our overall performance in a manner that is more similar to how our performance is measured by management (including their respective per-share amounts), as well as by analysts and the overall investment community.
We calculate CFFO by adjusting FFO for the following items:
•Acquisition- and disposition-related expenses. Acquisition- and disposition-related expenses (including due diligence costs on acquisitions not consummated and certain auditing and accounting fees incurred that were directly related to completed acquisitions or dispositions) are incurred for investment purposes and do not correlate with the ongoing operations of our existing portfolio. Further, certain auditing and accounting fees incurred vary depending on the number and complexity of acquisitions or dispositions completed during the period. Due to the inconsistency in which these costs are incurred and how they have historically been treated for accounting purposes, we believe the exclusion of these expenses improves comparability of our operating results on a period-to-period basis.
•Other adjustments. We will adjust for certain non-recurring charges and receipts and will explain such adjustments accordingly. We believe the exclusion of these amounts improves comparability of our operating results on a period-to-period basis and will apply consistent definitions of CFFO for all prior-year periods presented to provide consistency and better comparability.
Further, we calculate AFFO by adjusting CFFO for the following items:
•Rent adjustments. This adjustment removes the effects of straight-lining rental income, as well as the amortization related to above-market lease values and certain non-cash lease incentives and accretion related to below-market lease values, certain other deferred revenue, and tenant improvements, resulting in rental income reflected on a modified accrual cash basis. In addition to these adjustments, we also modify the calculation of cash rents within our definition of AFFO to provide greater consistency and comparability due to the period-to-period volatility in which cash rents are received. To coincide with our tenants’ harvest seasons, our leases typically provide for cash rents to be paid at various points throughout the lease year, usually annually or semi-annually. As a result, cash rents received during a particular period may not necessarily be comparable to other periods or represent the cash rents indicative of a given lease year. Therefore, we further adjust AFFO to normalize the cash rent received pertaining to a lease year over that respective lease year on a straight-line basis, resulting in cash rent being recognized ratably over the period in which the cash rent is earned. This normalization does not change the total cash rent reflected in AFFO over a lease term; it affects only the interim period in which such cash rent is reflected.
•Amortization of debt issuance costs. The amortization of costs incurred to obtain financing is excluded from AFFO, as it is a non-cash expense item that is not directly related to the operating performance of our properties.
43
•Other adjustments. We will adjust for certain non-cash charges and receipts and will explain such adjustments accordingly. We believe the exclusion of such non-cash amounts improves comparability of our operating results on a period-to-period basis and will apply consistent definitions of AFFO for all prior-year periods presented to provide consistency and better comparability.
We believe the foregoing adjustments aid our investors’ understanding of our ongoing operational performance.
FFO, CFFO and AFFO do not represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, which, unlike FFO, CFFO, and AFFO, generally reflects all cash effects of transactions and other events in the determination of net income, and should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance or to cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity or ability to make distributions. Comparisons of FFO, CFFO, and AFFO, using the NAREIT definition for FFO and the definitions above for CFFO and AFFO, to similarly-titled measures for other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in the definitions used by such REITs.
Diluted funds from operations (“Diluted FFO”), diluted core funds from operations (“Diluted CFFO”), and diluted adjusted funds from operations (“Diluted AFFO”) per share are FFO, CFFO, and AFFO, respectively, divided by the weighted-average number of total shares (including shares of our common stock and, if and when outstanding, OP Units held by non-controlling limited partners) outstanding on a fully-diluted basis during a period. We believe that diluted earnings per share is the most directly-comparable GAAP measure to each of Diluted FFO, CFFO, and AFFO per share. Because many REITs provide Diluted FFO, CFFO, and AFFO per share information to the investment community, we believe these are useful supplemental measures when comparing us to other REITs.
We believe that FFO, CFFO, and AFFO and Diluted FFO, CFFO, and AFFO per share are useful to investors because they provide investors with a further context for evaluating our FFO, CFFO, and AFFO results in the same manner that investors use net income and EPS in evaluating net income.
The following table provides a reconciliation of our FFO, CFFO, and AFFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 to the most directly-comparable GAAP measure, net income, and a computation of diluted FFO, CFFO, and AFFO per share, using the weighted-average number of total shares (including shares of our common stock and, if and when outstanding, OP Units held by non-controlling OP Unitholders) outstanding during the respective periods (dollars in thousands, except per-share amounts):

| ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK | ||||
Market risk includes risks that arise from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices, and other market changes that affect market-sensitive instruments. The primary market risk that we believe we are and will be exposed to is interest rate risk. Certain of our existing leases contain escalations based on market indices, such as the CPI, and while very little of our existing borrowings are subject to variable interest rates, the interest rates on the majority of our fixed-rate borrowings are fixed for a finite period before converting to variable rate. Although we seek to mitigate this risk by including certain provisions in many of our leases, such as escalation clauses or adjusting the rent to prevailing market rents at various intervals, these features do not eliminate this risk.
Currently, approximately 91.9% of our borrowings are at fixed rates. On a weighted-average basis, our notes and bonds payable bear interest at an effective interest rate (after interest patronage) of 3.57% for another 2.1 years. As such, with respect to our current borrowings, we believe fluctuations in interest rates would have a minimal impact on our net income. However, interest rate fluctuations may affect the fair value of our fixed-rate borrowings. As of September 30, 2026, the fair value of our fixed-rate borrowings outstanding was approximately $437.6 million.
The following table summarizes the hypothetical change in fair value of our fixed-rate borrowings at September 30, 2026, if market interest rates had been one or two percentage points lower or higher than those rates in place as of September 30, 2026 (dollars in thousands):
| Change in Market Interest Rates | Carrying Value(1) | Fair Value | Difference | |||||||||||||||||
| 2% decrease | $ | 455,595 | 448,534 | $ | (7,061) | |||||||||||||||
| 1% decrease | 455,595 | 442,976 | (12,619) | |||||||||||||||||
| No change | 455,595 | 437,633 | (17,962) | |||||||||||||||||
| 1% increase | 455,595 | 432,501 | (23,094) | |||||||||||||||||
| 2% increase | 455,595 | 427,562 | (28,033) | |||||||||||||||||
(1)Includes the principal balances outstanding of all long-term borrowings (consisting of notes and bonds payable), excluding unamortized debt issuance costs.
In the future, we may be exposed to additional effects of interest rate changes, primarily as a result of additional borrowings used to maintain liquidity and fund expansion of our farmland investment portfolio and operations. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we will borrow primarily at fixed rates or, in limited cases, at variable rates with the lowest margins available and, where available, with the ability to convert to fixed rates in the future. We may also enter into derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps and caps, to mitigate the interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. We will not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.
In addition to changes in interest rates, the fair value of our farmland portfolio is subject to fluctuations based on changes in local and regional economic conditions and changes in the creditworthiness of our tenants. Materially adverse changes in the fair value of our real estate may affect our ability to refinance our debt, if necessary.
| ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES | ||||
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of September 30, 2026, our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2026, in providing a reasonable level of assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in applicable SEC rules and forms, including providing a reasonable level of assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. However, in evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of necessarily achieving the desired control objectives, and management was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
