I would now like to turn the call to our Executive Chairman, Paul Pittman. Paul? Paul Pittman: Thank you, Christine. This was actually a pretty good quarter for us and frankly, a very mundane quarter. No real surprising events. Everything is kind of performing as expected and as projected. So you'll hear me back at the Q&A, but I'm going to turn it over to Luca, so we don't end up repeating the same things. Luca Fabbri: Thank you, Paul. This was a pretty strong quarter performance-wise to the extent that we actually even marginally adjusted guidance upwards on the low end for the remainder of the year for AFFO. But as Paul said, a relatively uneventful quarter as typically Q2 and Q3 of the year are in the middle of the year. We continue evaluating asset dispositions through the end of the year, especially noncore assets like in California. And we're also actively monitoring the conditions in our -- in the agriculture world as far as timing of our lease renewals. We have held back so far in pushing lease renewals for the next year because financial conditions are not ideal to say the least, in -- among our tenants. But we do have very, very strong tenants in our pool. So -- and this is not the first year of relatively middling performance in their financials. So there is nothing particularly new that we expect, but we are hoping for a little bit of better news before we kick off the lease renewal cycle in higher gear. And with that, I will now turn the call over to our CFO, Susan Landi, for her overview of the company's financial performance. Susan? Susan Landi: Thank you, Luca. I'm going to cover a few items today, including the summary of the 3 and 6 months ended June 30, 2026, a review of our capital structure and updated guidance for 2026. I'll be referring to the supplemental package, which is available in the Investor Relations section of our website under the subheader Events and Presentations. First, I want to share a few metrics that appear on Page 2. For the 3 months ended June 30, 2026, net income was $3.1 million or $0.07 per share available to common stockholders versus $7.8 million or $0.15 per share available to common stockholders for the same period in 2025. AFFO was $1.7 million or $0.04 per weighted average share compared to $1.3 million or $0.03 per weighted average share for the same period in 2025. For the 6 months ended June 30, 2026, net income was $3.8 million or $0.08 a share available to common stockholders versus $9.9 million or $0.18 a share available to common stockholders for the same period in 2025. AFFO was $3.8 million or $0.09 per weighted average share compared to $3.6 million and $0.08 per weighted average share for the same period of 2025. Page 5 shows a more comprehensive look at the main drivers of these changes year-over-year. On the revenue side, we were positively impacted by higher interest income, which is due to higher average balance on the loans under the FPI loan program and financing receivables, an increase in the amortization of points and higher proceeds from oil and gas royalties. These increases were partially offset by lower rental income due to asset dispositions occurring in the prior year. Operating expenses declined on a quarter-to-date and year-to-date basis over prior year. Some of these declines are to be expected with the property dispositions that occurred in the prior year, but there were also other reductions to G&A and legal fees, including a reduction in property impairment charges. These declines were partially offset by an increase in the provision for credit loss allowance related to loans under the FPI loan program. Overall, we saw a reduction in net income and EPS for both quarter-to-date and a year-to-date basis. The primary driver for the reduction relates to a decrease in the net gain on disposition of assets as a result of fewer property dispositions in the current year versus the prior year. AFFO per weighted average share is up by $0.01 for the 3 and 6 months ended period of the current year. On Page 12, there are a few capital structure items that I'd like to point out. The first is that we had undrawn capacity on the lines of credit of approximately $122 million at the end of Q2 2026. There were repayments of $8 million during the quarter, but no borrowings. We had one MetLife loan with a rate reset occurring during the second quarter. In addition, one loan was extended by 1 year. The average rate on these loans decreased from 5.64% to 5.25%. Moving on to Page 15. It will show you the updated outlook for 2026. The assumptions are listed at the bottom of the page. On the revenue side, changes from the April guidance include an increase in our outlook on variable lease payments. On the expense side, changes from the April guidance include increases as a result of additional provision for credit loss allowances on loans receivable and an increase in impairment related to updated market valuations in connection with one of our West Coast properties, and these were partially offset by a $3.6 million gain on a property disposition. The forecasted range of AFFO is $13.5 million to $15.3 million or $0.31 to $0.35 per share, which is an increase from the prior quarter on the low end of the range. The high end of the range remains unchanged. This summarizes where we stand today. We will keep you updated as we progress through the year. This does wrap up our comments for this morning. Thank you all for participating. Operator, you can now begin the Q&A session. Paul Pittman: So operator, while you're compiling that roster, this is Paul. I'm just going to chime in on a couple of questions that we got via e-mail and give those answers, and then we'll go to questions and answers from the audience. So we got a question regarding kind of how we're managing the building of reserves as it relates to credit losses. And while we, frankly, as a business matter, think we will collect 100% of all of our outstanding loans, our loan program, as you all know, is frankly a relatively high-risk program. We're making loans to people who are in distress. We're often getting 15% or 20% interest rates. And so we believe it's prudent to gradually build those reserves with a certain hope to reverse them. But it's better to build those reserves and reverse them later than, frankly, not to build any reserves and then get caught holding the bag. So it's really nothing unusual. The size of our loan program today is reasonably large, a little -- its about $60 million total. And so that's why you're seeing these reserves build. In this particular quarter, I don't think the additional reserve was particularly high. The other question we got in the -- over the Internet or I mean, over the e-mail was a question about legal expense, which shows up on the P&L, legal and accounting at about $312,000. And is that indicative of some significant litigation that's going on? And the answer to that question is no. That $312,000 is 2/3 either audit or tax fees, which show up in the second quarter. That's when we get those. And so that's really the bulk of it. The litigation was only about $25,000 of that $312,000. We continue to have a litigation on a farm in Louisiana with some prior tenant dispute. And we also have, of course, the litigation regarding Sabrepoint continues to go on. But as you can see from that $25,000 spend, there's not a whole lot happening right now in either of those cases. With that, we can go to whatever Q&A came in with you, operator. Operator: The first question comes from the line of Craig Kucera with Lucid Capital. Craig Kucera: I appreciate the color on the credit loss provision. But I'm curious, that was affiliated with one operator that I think you mentioned had some trouble. Was this for the same borrower or a different line? Paul Pittman: No, we're building it related to the same borrower for -- we evaluate every borrower, but the bulk of it is related to the same borrower we've talked about in the past. And we just -- we're continuing to monitor the situation. One of the things you're up against in any of these -- any sort of distressed situations, as long as the principal that we deal with, meaning the individual human beings that we're dealing with, keep control of the situation, we're making loans with some relatively steep terms with strong -- what we think is strong collateral and with people strong, strong intent to pay it back. And so far in our loan program, we've been doing this now a dozen years. We haven't had anybody not pay us. But the risk you face is that someone loses control of their situation to bankruptcy, for example, or something else. And then you're dealing with not a loan made to a person who we know, who has intent of paying us back, you're just kind of dealing with a nameless, faceless court process. And that's really where and why we feel it prudent to build reserves over time as we're watching these borrowers in some sort of trouble. Our fear is that they lose control of their situation and then our security position from a legal standpoint doesn't really change, but from a moral standpoint, if you will, does change. And that's what's going on here. Craig Kucera: Okay. That's helpful. I appreciate that. So I know you guys mentioned you're looking to do more dispositions out of California, but where was the disposition this quarter? Was that on the West Coast? Or was that elsewhere? Paul Pittman: Luca, do you want to take that one? Luca Fabbri: Yes. No, it was elsewhere. It was actually the strong gain was related to the fact that this is a solar development on the farm, and we actually sold the farm to the developer itself. And the value to them was much higher than the agricultural value. So we locked in that gain. Paul Pittman: That was in Illinois, correct? Luca Fabbri: That is correct. Paul Pittman: In Illinois farm. Craig Kucera: Okay. Now I was going to be impressed if you had booked a $3.5 million gain out of California. So I just wanted to double check that. Paul Pittman: We would have celebrated as well, trust me, Craig. Craig Kucera: Right. So there was an increase in your expectations regarding citrus and avocado revenue flowing through the guidance on variable payments. Is that more of a pricing or a volume situation that you're expecting? Luca Fabbri: The increase in variable rent is actually more related to almonds is -- and in particular, as the year moves along, we get better visibility on both yield and pricing. So we tend to be on variable rents, very cautious at the beginning of the year. We've had some pretty bad performances a couple of years ago on almonds, for example. And then as I said, as the year goes along, we have a little bit more visibility into the expected performance, and that's exactly what happened in this case. Operator: The next question comes from the line of John Massocca with B. Riley. John Massocca: Maybe sticking with the assets that have a little bit more of a variable revenue stream. Just to kind of clarify then, is the commentary around some of the citrus and avocado, what's driving the slight decrease in maybe expectations for crop sales and a little bit of crop insurance coming into the guidance? Luca Fabbri: Susan, do you want to chime in on the specific details because the big mover this quarter was on the almond side. Susan Landi: Yes. I mean, as far as the direct ops go, there was a little bit of a decline due to a softening market within the citrus and yields being down a little bit due to weather events in California. John Massocca: Okay. That makes sense. And then given the kind of capacity you have today with regards to kind of debt availability versus kind of how the stock has performed, how are you thinking about the buyback? Is that something that's more levered to disposition proceeds? Or would you be comfortable kind of using leverage to kind of reactivate that program? Paul Pittman: Our buyback program is first driven by stock price and then by cash availability. We can, at any point in time, enter the market for buybacks if we think the price is highly accretive to the remaining shares outstanding. At this price, we frankly think it is pretty accretive. But it's -- we -- the borrowing cost here is reasonably steep, mid-5s, give or take, a few basis points either way. And so we're always struggling with the -- you want to borrow money to buy back a stock that's yielding on the dividend 3.5% or something like that, maybe 3.4% versus a 5.5% borrowing. And so that's really the kind of challenge that we kind of face and struggle with there. So to answer your question specifically, we will borrow to kind of -- to run a disciplined buyback program from time to time. But we certainly -- even if we're technically borrowing to execute on a given day, we've really got to sell assets to backfill mentality because we don't want to run that negative spread for a long period of time. John Massocca: Okay. And then kind of bigger picture, I know we talked about this last quarter, but as some of the macroeconomic volatility and kind of the elevated energy prices have kind of persisted. How is that kind of impacting your tenants? You kind of mentioned that you're holding off a little bit on kind of pushing renewals given the financial situation in the broader farmer industry. But I didn't know if that's something that's changed at all since we last talked or become a little bit more negative since we last talked or if it's just kind of the same theme as maybe from, call it, March of this year? Paul Pittman: Yes, it's pretty much the same theme, but let me give you a little more context. So if we think that farmers are kind of rolling in dough and they're really happy and exuberant when you get to the, call it, early summer, we will aggressively pursue leasing in the summer. And the reason is you never know what's going to happen come fall. You suddenly have a huge bumper crop, prices go down. To be honest, farmers, even though they may make it back up on volume, they're depressed because corn prices and bean prices went down. Alternatively, if you find yourself in a situation in the early summer where the crop prices are kind of ho-hum, you kind of hang back and maintain your optionality. We think you're going to see -- we think that this isn't going to be the same kind of bumper crop we've seen in the last couple of years, basically due to weather going on in the United States as well as kind of worldwide weather shocks because it's a global market. So our tendency -- and don't take -- don't go trade commodities based on that statement. It's just we have a strong enough view about that, that we're not rushing to get the leasing process done. We don't -- we think there's a materially better chance of upside than downside. So why not hang back? I would expect that this year's leasing process is a lot like last year's. It will be a flat year in most cases. It may be up just a little bit. We often have cost of living adjustments in our leases over the term. And so even if you don't bump rent materially in the renegotiation, you leave the COLA clause in there, which gives you an increase over years. But that's what we think will happen right now with some hope that it actually turns out to be better than that, which is why we're not trying to lock in a kind of leases yet. But by the time we get around to September, we got to get started on it just because we run out of time otherwise. John Massocca: Okay. And then kind of with regards to some of the West Coast properties, particularly the tree nut assets, -- is there any read-through to kind of the increase in your variable rent expectations and maybe some thoughts that, that market is firming that could loosen up disposition opportunities specifically there? Or is that still kind of a challenged market from a transaction perspective? Paul Pittman: So it is a challenged market from a transaction perspective, but probably less challenged than it was 6 months ago. I think you've reached in California, I think a prior question -- set of questions kind of brought this up. California agriculture is in a terrible, terrible spot. I mean it's in the worst spot I've seen it, frankly, in my lifetime -- and I'm 64. It is a combination of, frankly, bad policy in the state, actual decline in water availability, but more so political decline in water availability and a state that is not supportive of how farm labor has to work. So the cost of farm labor are going up dramatically in the state. And so what you're seeing is a real pressure on everybody that owns land in California and the specialty crops in particular. So what you're seeing in terms of almond price adjustment is just simple supply/demand of this year's almond crop or international crops in the last 12 months. That -- I don't think that makes some big dramatic improvement in the market for tree nuts or citrus or anything else in California. But what it does is it certainly helps on the cash flow on those assets this year. Our perspective is that -- and we've been this way now for several years and compared to other fund managers, we frankly have quite a bit less exposure in California than most of them as a percentage of our total portfolio. So we're still on a process of gradually liquidating those properties in California because we are long-term bearish on California outlook, and we think it's just prudent to cut back our exposure and either use that money to buy back stock or reinvest, frankly, in the core of the Midwest. Operator: There are no further questions at this time. I will now turn the call back to Luca for closing remarks. Luca Fabbri: Thank you, Erica, and thank you, everybody. We appreciate your interest in our company and look forward to updating you on our activities and results in the coming quarters. Have a great rest of your day. Operator: This concludes today's call.

Those gains were partly offset by lower rental income following property dispositions in the prior year. Operating expenses declined year over year, reflecting the impact of prior asset sales as well as reductions in general and administrative costs, legal fees and property impairment charges. The company also recorded a higher provision for credit losses related to FPI loan program receivables. → Carrier Earnings Could Send the Stock to a New All-Time High Landi said the decline in net income and earnings per share was driven primarily by lower gains on asset dispositions, as the company completed fewer property sales during 2026 than it did in the prior year. During the quarter, Farmland Partners sold an Illinois farm to a solar developer. President and CEO Luca Fabbri said the buyer placed greater value on the property because of its solar-development potential than its agricultural value, enabling the company to recognize a strong gain. Landi said the property disposition produced a $3.6 million gain. Farmland Partners raised the lower end of its 2026 AFFO forecast. The company now expects AFFO of $13.5 million to $15.3 million, or $0.31 to $0.35 per share. The low end increased from the company’s prior outlook, while the high end was unchanged. The revised outlook includes higher expectations for variable lease payments. Fabbri said the improvement was primarily tied to almonds, where visibility into yields and pricing improved as the year progressed. Management also cited higher credit-loss provisions on loans receivable and increased impairment associated with updated market valuations for a West Coast property. The $3.6 million gain on the Illinois property sale partly offset those costs. Direct operating income expectations for citrus and avocado properties were somewhat softer, according to Landi, reflecting a weaker citrus market and lower yields caused in part by California weather events. Pittman said the company is gradually building reserves against potential credit losses even though management believes it will ultimately collect all outstanding loans. He described the FPI loan program as a higher-risk business that lends to borrowers in distress, often at interest rates of 15% to 20%. The loan program totaled slightly more than $60 million, Pittman said. The bulk of the current reserve build relates to the same borrower the company has previously discussed. He said the company’s concern is that a distressed borrower could lose control of its situation through bankruptcy or another process, which could make collections more complicated despite Farmland Partners’ collateral position. “So far in our loan program, we’ve been doing this now a dozen years, we haven’t had anybody not pay us,” Pittman said. At the end of the second quarter, Farmland Partners had approximately $122 million of undrawn capacity on its credit lines. The company repaid $8 million during the quarter and made no new borrowings. One MetLife loan reset during the period and another was extended for a year, reducing the average rate on those loans to 5.25% from 5.64%. Pittman said the company could use borrowing to support a disciplined share repurchase program when management considers the stock price sufficiently attractive. However, he said the company generally expects to sell assets to replenish capital over time rather than maintain a negative spread between borrowing costs in the mid-5% range and the stock’s dividend yield. Management said it has not yet aggressively pursued lease renewals for the coming year, citing less-than-ideal financial conditions among tenants. Fabbri said the company has strong tenants and does not expect a materially new problem, but it is waiting for potentially better agricultural-market conditions before accelerating the renewal cycle. Pittman said the company expects leasing conditions to resemble last year, with rents generally flat or modestly higher. Many leases contain cost-of-living adjustment provisions that can provide increases over time even if rents are not raised materially in renewal negotiations. The company is continuing to evaluate dispositions of non-core assets, particularly in California. Pittman said California agricultural transaction markets remain challenged, although conditions may be less difficult than they were six months earlier. He cited reduced water availability, state policy and rising farm-labor costs as pressures on California specialty-crop agriculture. Farmland Partners remains “long-term bearish” on California, Pittman said, and intends to gradually reduce its exposure there. Proceeds could be used for stock repurchases or reinvestment in the company’s core Midwestern markets. Farmland Partners Inc is a real estate investment trust (REIT) that acquires and manages high-quality farmland in the United States. The company's primary business activity is the ownership of agricultural land, which it leases to farmers under various rental arrangements designed to generate stable cash rents and long-term capital appreciation.

Farmland Partners Inc. Q2 2026 Earnings Call Summary
Our analysts just identified a stock with the potential to be the next Nvidia. Tell us how you invest and we'll show you why it's our #1 pick. Tap here. Management characterized the quarter as 'mundane' and 'uneventful,' with performance largely meeting internal projections despite broader agricultural headwinds. The company is intentionally delaying the lease renewal cycle to maintain optionality, citing 'middling' financial performance among tenants and a hope for improved market conditions before locking in rates. Strategic dispositions remain a priority, particularly for non-core assets in California where management is 'long-term bearish' due to declining water availability, rising labor costs, and unsupportive state policies. A significant gain on sale in Illinois was driven by a solar development project where the farm was sold to a developer at a price exceeding its agricultural value. Management is maintaining a cautious stance on lease renewals, expecting a 'flat year' for rents while relying on existing cost-of-living adjustment clauses to provide modest growth. The company continues to shift its portfolio focus toward the Midwest core, viewing it as a more stable environment compared to the volatile specialty crop markets on the West Coast. AFFO guidance was marginally adjusted upward on the low end to a range of $13.5 million to $15.3 million, reflecting better visibility into variable lease payments. Management anticipates that this year's harvest will not be a 'bumper crop' due to domestic and global weather shocks, which supports their decision to delay lease negotiations for potential upside. The company expects to continue building credit loss reserves as a precautionary measure against distressed borrowers in its high-interest loan program. Capital allocation will prioritize stock buybacks when prices are highly accretive, though execution is balanced against the 'steep' mid-5% borrowing costs relative to dividend yields.

Management explained that while they expect 100% collection, they are building reserves because the program involves distressed borrowers. The primary risk identified is a borrower 'losing control' of their situation through bankruptcy, which shifts the recovery process from a personal relationship to a 'nameless, faceless court process.' The upward revision is primarily attributed to better visibility into almond yields and pricing as the year progresses. Management noted they typically start the year with very cautious estimates for variable rents due to past volatility in the almond market. The company faces a challenge where borrowing costs (approximately 5.5%) exceed the stock's dividend yield (approximately 3.4%). While they will use leverage for disciplined buybacks, the long-term strategy is to 'sell assets to backfill' those purchases to avoid a negative spread. Management described California agriculture as being in the 'worst spot' they have seen, citing a combination of bad policy, water scarcity, and high labor costs. They confirmed a strategy of gradually liquidating California exposure to reinvest in the Midwest, despite the market being 'challenged' for transactions.

FY2026 Q2 earnings call transcript
I will now hand the conference over to Luca Fabbri, President and Chief Executive Officer. Luca, please go ahead.
Thank you, Erica. Good morning and welcome to Farmland Partners' second quarter 2026 earnings conference call and webcast. We fully appreciate your taking the time to join us for these calls because we see them as a very important opportunity to share with you our thinking and our strategy in a format less formal and more interactive than public filings and press releases. I will now turn over the call to our General Counsel, Christine Garrison, for some customary preliminary remarks. Christine.
Thank you, Luca. Thank you to everyone on the call. The press release announcing our second quarter earnings was distributed after market close yesterday. The supplemental package has been posted to the investor relations section of our website under the subheader Events and Presentations. For those who listen to the recording of this presentation, we remind you that the remarks made herein are as of today, July 30th, 2026, and will not be updated subsequent to this call. During this call, we will make forward-looking statements, including statements related to the future performance of our portfolio, our identified and potential acquisitions and dispositions, impact of acquisitions, dispositions, and financing activities, business development opportunities, as well as comments on our outlook for our business rents and the broader agricultural markets. We will also discuss certain non-GAAP financial measures, including net operating income, AFFO, adjusted AFFO, EBITDAre, and adjusted EBITDAre.
Definitions of these non-GAAP measures, as well as reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures, are included in the company's press release announcing second quarter 2026 earnings, which is available on our website, farmlandpartners.com, and is furnished as an exhibit to our current report on 8-K dated July 29th, 2026. Listeners are cautioned that these statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond our control. These risks and uncertainties can cause actual results to differ materially from our current expectations. We advise listeners to review the risk factors discussed in our press release distributed yesterday and in documents we've filed with or furnished to the SEC. I would now like to turn the call to our Executive Chairman, Paul Pittman. Paul.
Thank you, Christine. This was actually a pretty good quarter for us and frankly, a very mundane quarter. No real surprising events. Everything's kind of performing as expected, and as projected. You'll hear me back at the Q&A, but I'm going to turn it over to Luca, so we don't end up repeating the same things.
Thank you, Paul. This was a pretty strong quarter performance-wise to the extent that we actually even marginally adjusted guidance upwards on the low end for the remainder of the year for AFFO. As Paul said, relatively uneventful quarter as typically Q2 and Q3 of the year are, in the middle of the year. We continue evaluating asset dispositions through the end of the year, especially non-core assets like in California. We're also actively monitoring the conditions in the agriculture world as far as timing of our lease renewals. We have held back so far in pushing lease renewals for the next year because financial conditions are not ideal, to say the least, among our tenants. We do have very strong tenants in our pool. This is not the first year of relatively middling performance in their financials.
There is nothing particularly new that we expect, but we are hoping for a little bit of better news before we kick off the lease renewal cycle in high end gear. With that, I will now turn the call over to our CFO, Susan Landi, for her overview of the company's financial performance. Susan.
Thank you, Luca. I'm going to cover a few items today, including the summary of the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, a review of our capital structure, and updated guidance for 2026. I'll be referring to the supplemental package, which is available in the investor relations section of our website under the subheader Events and Presentations. First, I want to share a few metrics that appear on page two. For the three months ended June 30, 2026, net income was $3.1 million or $0.07 per share available to common stockholders versus $7.8 million or $0.15 per share available to common stockholders for the same period in 2025. AFFO was $1.7 million or $0.04 per weighted average share, compared to $1.3 million or $0.03 per weighted average share for the same period in 2025.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, net income was $3.8 million or $0.08 a share available to common stockholders versus $9.9 million or $0.18 a share available to common stockholders for the same period in 2025. AFFO was $3.8 million or $0.09 per weighted average share compared to $3.6 million and $0.08 per weighted average share for the same period of 2025. Page five shows a more comprehensive look at the main drivers of these changes year-over-year. On the revenue side, we were positively impacted by higher interest income, which is due to higher average balance on the loans under the FPI loan program and financing receivables, an increase in the amortization of points, and higher proceeds from oil and gas royalties.
These increases were partially offset by lower rental income due to asset dispositions occurring in the prior year. Operating expenses declined on a quarter-to-date and year-to-date basis over prior year. Some of these declines are to be expected with the property dispositions that occurred in the prior year, but there were also other reductions to G&A and legal fees, including a reduction in property impairment charges. These declines were partially offset by an increase in the provision for credit loss allowance related to loans under the FPI loan program. Overall, we saw a reduction in net income and EPS for both quarter-to-date and a year-to-date basis. The primary driver for the reduction relates to a decrease in the net gain on disposition of assets as a result of fewer property dispositions in the current year versus the prior year.
AFFO per weighted average share is up by a penny for the three and six months ended period of the current year. On Page 12, there are a few capital structure items that I'd like to point out. The first is that we had undrawn capacity on the lines of credit of approximately $122 million at the end of Q2 2026. There were repayments of $8 million during the quarter, but no borrowings. We had one MetLife loan with a rate reset occurring during the second quarter. In addition, one loan was extended by one year. The average rate on these loans decreased from 5.64%-5.25%. Moving on to Page 15, it'll show you the updated outlook for 2026. The assumptions are listed at the bottom of the page. On the revenue side, changes from the April guidance include an increase in our outlook on variable lease payments.
On the expense side, changes from the April guidance include increases as a result of additional provision for credit loss allowances on loans receivable, and an increase in impairment related to updated market valuations in connection with one of our West Coast properties. These were partially offset by a $3.6 million gain on a property disposition. The forecasted range of AFFO is $13.5 million-$15.3 million or $0.31-$0.35 per share, which is an increase from the prior quarter on the low end of the range. The high end of the range remained unchanged. This summarizes where we stand today. We will keep you updated as we progress through the year. This does wrap up our comments for this morning. Thank you all for participating. Operator, you can now begin the Q&A session.
We will now begin the question and answer session. If you would like to ask a question, please press star one to raise your hand. To withdraw your question, press star one again. We ask that you pick up your handset when asking a question to allow for optimum sound quality. If you are muted locally, please remember to unmute your device. Please stand by while we compile the Q&A roster.
Operator, while you're compiling that roster, this is Paul. I'm just going to chime in on a couple of questions that we got via email, and give those answers, then we'll go to questions and answers from the audience. We got a question regarding kind of how we're managing the building of reserves as it relates to credit losses. While we frankly as a business matter, think we will collect 100% of all of our outstanding loans, our loan program, as you all know, is frankly a relatively high risk program. We're making loans to people who are in distress. We're often getting 15% or 20% interest rates. We believe it's prudent to gradually build those reserves with a certain hope to reverse them.
It's better to build those reserves and reverse them later than frankly not to build any reserves and then get caught holding the bag. It's really nothing unusual. The size of our loan program today is reasonably large, a little about $60 million total. Yes, while you're seeing these reserves built. In this particular quarter, I don't think the additional reserve was particularly high. The other question we got over the email was a question about legal expense, which shows up on the P&L legal and accounting at about $312,000. Is that indicative of some significant litigation that's going on? The answer to that question is no. That $312,000 is two-thirds either audit or tax fees, which show up in the second quarter. That's when we get those. That's really the bulk of it.
The litigation was only about $25,000 of that $312,000. We continue to have a litigation on a farm in Louisiana with some prior tenant disputes. We also have, of course, the litigation regarding Sabrepoint Capital continues to go on. As you can see from that $25,000 spend, there's not a whole lot happening right now in either of those cases. With that, we can go to whatever Q&A came in with you, operator.
The first question comes from the line of Craig Kucera with Lucid Capital. Your line is open. Please go ahead.
Yeah, thanks. Appreciate the color on the credit loss provision. I'm curious, that was affiliated with one operator that I think you mentioned and had some trouble. Was this for the same borrower or a different loan?
No, we're building it related to the same borrower. We evaluate every borrower, but the bulk of it is related to the same borrower we've talked about in the past. We're continuing to monitor the situation. One of the things you're up against in any of these sort of distressed situations, as long as the principal that we deal with, meaning the individual human beings that we're dealing with, keep control of the situation. We're making loans with some relatively steep terms, with what we think is strong collateral and with people strong intent to pay it back. So far in our loan program, we've been doing this now a dozen years, we haven't had anybody not pay us. The risk you face is that someone loses control of their situation to bankruptcy, for example, or something else.
Then you're dealing with not a loan made to a person who we know, who has intent of paying us back. You're just kind of dealing with a nameless, faceless court process. That's really where and why we feel it prudent to build reserves over time as we're watching these borrowers in some sort of trouble. Our fear is that they lose control of their situation and then our security position from a legal standpoint doesn't really change, but from a moral standpoint, if you will, does change. That's what's going on here.
Okay. That's helpful. I appreciate that.
Yeah.
I know you guys mentioned you're looking to do more dispositions out of California, but where was the disposition this quarter? Was that on the West Coast or was that elsewhere?
Luca, you want to take that one?
Yeah, no, it was elsewhere. It was actually the strong gain was related to the fact that this is a solar development on the farm, and we actually sold the farm to the developer itself. The value to them was much higher than the agricultural value. We locked in that gain.
That was in Illinois, correct?
That is correct.
It's an Illinois farm.
Okay. No, I was going to be impressed if you had booked a $3.5 million gain out of California. Just wanted to double check that.
We would have celebrated as well, trust me, Craig.
Right. There was an increase in your expectations regarding citrus and avocado revenue flowing through the guidance on variable payments. Is that more of a pricing or a volume situation that you're expecting?
The increase in variable rent is actually more related to almonds, and in particular as the year moves along, we get better visibility on both yield and pricing. We tend to be, on variable rents, very cautious at the beginning of the year. We've had some pretty bad performances a couple of years ago on almonds, for example. Then as I said, as the year goes along, we have a little bit more visibility into the expected performance, and that's exactly what happened in this case.
Okay. That's it for me. Thank you.
The next question comes from the line of John Massocca with B. Riley. Your line is open. Please go ahead.
Good morning, everyone. Maybe sticking with the assets that have a little bit more of a variable revenue stream, just to kind of clarify then, is the commentary around some of the citrus and avocado what's driving the slight decrease in maybe expectations for crop sales and a little bit of crop insurance coming into the guidance?
Susan, do you want to chime in on the specific details? The big mover this quarter was on the almond side.
Yeah. As far as the direct offs go, there was a little bit of a decline due to a softening market within the citrus and yields being down a little bit due to weather events in California.
Okay. Then, given the kind of capacity you have today with regards to kind of debt availability versus how the stocks performed, how are you thinking about the buyback? Is that something that's more levered to disposition proceeds, or would you be comfortable using leverage to reactivate that program?
Our buyback program is first driven by stock price then by cash availability. We can, at any point in time, enter the market for buybacks if we think the price is highly accretive to the remaining shares outstanding. At this price, we frankly think it is pretty accretive. The borrowing cost here is reasonably steep, mid-fives, give or take a few basis points either way. We're always struggling with it. You want to borrow money to buy back a stock that's yielding on the dividend three and a half or something like that, maybe 3.4, versus a five and a half borrowing. That's really the kind of challenge that we kind of face and struggle with there. To answer your question specifically, we will borrow to run a disciplined buyback program from time to time.
We certainly, even if we're technically borrowing to execute on a given day, we've really got a sell assets to backfill mentality, because we don't want to run that negative spread for a long period of time.
Okay. Then kind of bigger picture, I know we talked about this last quarter, as some of the macroeconomic volatility and kind of the elevated energy prices have kind of persisted. How is that kind of impacting your tenants? You kind of mentioned that you're holding up a little bit on kind of pushing renewals given the financial situation in the broader farmer industry. I didn't know if that's something that's changed at all since we last talked or become a little bit more negative since we last talked, or if it's just kind of the same theme as maybe from, call it March of this year.
It's pretty much the same theme. Let me give you a little more context. If we think that farmers are kind of rolling in dough and they're really happy and exuberant when you get to the, call it, early summer, we will aggressively pursue leasing in the summer. The reason is, you never know what's going to happen come fall. You suddenly have a huge bumper crop. Prices go down. To be honest, farmers, even though they may make it back up on volume, they're depressed because corn prices and bean prices went down. Alternatively, if you find yourself in a situation in the early summer where the crop prices are kind of ho-hum, you kind of hang back and maintain your optionality.
We think that this isn't going to be the same kind of bumper crop we've seen in the last couple of years, basically due to weather going on in the U.S. as well as kind of worldwide weather shocks because it's a global market. Don't go trade commodities based on that statement. It's just we have a strong enough view about that we're not rushing to get the leasing process done. We think there's materially better chance of upside than downside. Why not hang back? I would expect that this year's leasing process is a lot like last year's. It will be a flat year in most cases, and maybe up just a little bit. We often have cost of living adjustments in our leases over the term.
Even if you don't bump rent materially in the renegotiation, you leave the COLA clause in there, which gives you an increase over years. That's what we think will happen right now with some hope that it actually turns out to be better than that, which is why we're not trying to lock in on a ton of leases yet. By the time we get around to September, we got to get started on it because you run out of time otherwise.
Kind of with regards to some of the West Coast properties, particularly the tree nut assets, is there any read-through to kind of the increase in your variable rent expectations and maybe some thoughts that that market is firming that could loosen up some disposition opportunities specifically there? Or is that still kind of a challenged market from a transaction perspective?
It is a challenged market from a transaction perspective, but probably less challenged than it was 6 months ago. I think you've reached in California, I think a prior set of questions kind of brought this up. California agriculture is in a terrible spot. I mean, it's in the worst spot I've seen it, frankly, in my lifetime. I'm 64. It is a combination of, frankly, bad policy in the state. Actual decline in water availability, but more so political decline in water availability and a state that is not supportive of how farm labor has to work. The costs of farm labor are going up dramatically in the state. What you're seeing is a real pressure on everybody that owns land in California, in the specialty crops in particular.
What you're seeing in terms of almond price adjustment is just simple supply-demand of this year's almond crop or international crops in the last 12 months. I don't think that makes some big dramatic improvement in the market for tree nuts or citrus or anything else in California. What it does is it certainly helps on the cash flow on those assets this year. Our perspective is that, and we've been this way now for several years, and compared to other fund managers, we frankly have quite a bit less exposure in California than most of them, as a percentage of our total portfolio. We're still on a process of gradually liquidating those properties in California because we are long-term bearish on California outlook.
We think it's just prudent to cut back our exposure and either use that money to buy back stock or reinvest, frankly, in the core of the Midwest.
Yeah. I appreciate all that color. That's it for me. Thank you.
There are no further questions at this time. I will now turn the call back to Luca for closing remarks.
Thank you, Erica, and thank you everybody. We appreciate your interest in our company and look forward to updating you on our activities and results in the coming quarters. Have a great rest of your day.
This concludes today's call. Thank you for attending. You may now disconnect.

Any forward-looking information presented herein is made only as of the date of this press release, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information to reflect changes in assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events, or otherwise. Non-GAAP Financial Measures The Company considers the following non-GAAP measures to be useful to investors as key supplemental measures of its performance: FFO, NOI, AFFO, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income or loss as a measure of the Company’s operating performance. FFO, NOI, AFFO, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, as calculated by the Company, may not be comparable to other companies that do not define such terms in exactly the same way as the Company. FFO The Company calculates FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or Nareit. Nareit defines FFO as net income (loss) (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, real estate related depreciation, depletion and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), impairment write-downs of depreciated property, and adjustments associated with impairment write-downs for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Management presents FFO as a supplemental performance measure because it believes that FFO is beneficial to investors as a starting point in measuring the Company’s operational performance. Specifically, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from sales of depreciable operating properties, which do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. The Company also believes that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare the Company’s operating performance with that of other REITs. However, other equity REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the Nareit definition as the Company does, and, accordingly, the Company’s FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ FFO. AFFO The Company calculates AFFO by adjusting FFO to exclude the income and expenses that the Company believes are not reflective of the sustainability of the Company’s ongoing operating performance, including, but not limited to, real estate related acquisition and due diligence costs, stock-based compensation and incentive, deferred impact of interest rate swap terminations and distributions on the Company’s preferred units. Changes in GAAP accounting and reporting rules that were put in effect after the establishment of Nareit’s definition of FFO in 1999 result in the inclusion of a number of items in FFO that do not correlate with the sustainability of the Company’s operating performance. Therefore, in addition to FFO, the Company presents AFFO and AFFO per share, fully diluted, both of which are non-GAAP measures. Management considers AFFO a useful supplemental performance metric for investors as it is more indicative of the Company’s operational performance than FFO. AFFO is not intended to represent cash flow or liquidity for the period and is only intended to provide an additional measure of the Company’s operating performance. Even AFFO, however, does not properly capture the timing of cash receipts, especially in connection with full-year rent payments under lease agreements entered into in connection with newly acquired farms. Management considers AFFO per share, fully diluted to be a supplemental metric to GAAP earnings per share. AFFO per share, fully diluted provides additional insight into how the Company’s operating performance could be allocated to potential shares outstanding at a specific point in time. Management believes that AFFO is a widely recognized measure of the operations of REITs and presenting AFFO will enable investors to assess the Company’s performance in comparison to other REITs. However, other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating AFFO and AFFO per share, fully diluted and, accordingly, the Company’s AFFO and AFFO per share, fully diluted may not always be comparable to AFFO and AFFO per share amounts calculated by other REITs. AFFO and AFFO per share, fully diluted should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or earnings per share (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of financial performance, or as an alternative to net income (loss) earnings per share (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the Company’s liquidity, nor are they indicative of funds available to fund the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to make distributions. EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre The Company calculates Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization for real estate ("EBITDAre") in accordance with the standards established by Nareit in its September 2017 White Paper. Nareit defines EBITDAre as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) excluding interest expense, income tax, depreciation and amortization, gains or losses on disposition of depreciated property (including gains or losses on change of control), impairment write-downs of depreciated property and of investments in unconsolidated affiliates caused by a decrease in value of depreciated property in the affiliate, and adjustments to reflect the entity’s pro rata share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated affiliates. EBITDAre is a key financial measure used to evaluate the Company’s operating performance but should not be construed as an alternative to operating income, cash flows from operating activities or net income, in each case as determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that EBITDAre is a useful performance measure commonly reported and will be widely used by analysts and investors in the Company’s industry. However, while EBITDAre is a performance measure widely used across the Company’s industry, the Company does not believe that it correctly captures the Company’s business operating performance because it includes non-cash expenses and recurring adjustments that are necessary to better understand the Company’s business operating performance. Therefore, in addition to EBITDAre, management uses Adjusted EBITDAre, a non-GAAP measure. The Company calculates Adjusted EBITDAre by adjusting EBITDAre for certain items such as stock-based compensation and incentive and real estate related acquisition and due diligence costs that the Company considers necessary to understand its operating performance. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDAre provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding the Company’s ongoing operating performance that, when considered with net income and EBITDAre, is beneficial to an investor’s understanding of the Company’s operating performance. However, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. In prior periods, the Company has presented EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. In accordance with Nareit’s recommendation, beginning with the Company’s reported results for the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company is reporting EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre in place of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Net Operating Income (NOI) The Company calculates net operating income (NOI) as total operating revenues (rental income, tenant reimbursements, crop sales and other revenue), less property operating expenses (direct property expenses and real estate taxes), less cost of goods sold. Since net operating income excludes general and administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, acquisition-related expenses, other income and losses and extraordinary items, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and leasing farmland real estate, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from net income. However, net operating income should not be viewed as an alternative measure of the Company’s financial performance since it does not reflect general and administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization costs, other income and losses.

Farmland Partners Q1 Earnings Call Highlights
Farmland Partners completed the cash redemption of its Series A preferred units—removing a significant overhang—and finished the quarter with about $114 million of undrawn capacity on its credit lines (borrowings during Q1 were mainly used for the redemption). Q1 results were largely in line with expectations: net income was $0.6 million (≈$0.01/share) and AFFO was $2.1 million (≈$0.05/share); management updated 2026 AFFO guidance to $13.2M–$15.2M (≈$0.30–$0.35/share), a downward revision from the prior quarter. Management raised the allowance for credit losses tied to the FPI loan program—citing one borrower with specific challenges—and said capital returned later in the year will be used primarily to deleverage the balance sheet while remaining opportunistic on share repurchases; the company is also trimming higher-risk exposure via dispositions (including in California). Interested in Farmland Partners Inc.? Here are five stocks we like better. How to invest in farmland: 7 simple ways Farmland Partners (NYSE:FPI) executives said first-quarter results were largely in line with internal expectations, while also addressing investor questions around the agricultural outlook amid geopolitical uncertainty and the company’s credit-loss reserves tied to its loan program.

Fabbri said the company had prepared for the redemption “for a long time by shoring up our liquidity reserves” and emphasized that the company still has what he described as a strong liquidity position. CFO Susan Landi reported that Farmland Partners ended the quarter with approximately $114 million of undrawn capacity on its lines of credit, and said borrowings during the quarter were primarily used to redeem the remaining Series A preferred units. Landi reported net income of $0.6 million, or $0.01 per share available to common stockholders, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, down from the prior-year period. Adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) totaled $2.1 million versus $2.3 million a year earlier, equating to $0.05 per weighted average share, which she said was unchanged from the first quarter of 2025. → Is Oracle Undervalued as Cloud Growth Accelerates? Discussing year-over-year drivers, Landi said revenue benefited from: Higher interest income due to a higher average balance on loans under the FPI Loan Program and financing receivables Increased amortization of points Higher proceeds from oil and gas royalties Those gains were partially offset by lower rental income due to asset dispositions, as well as the absence of auction brokerage and third-party management income following the sale of MWA in the fourth quarter of 2025, Landi said. On expenses, Landi said operating costs were “slightly higher” year over year due to an increase in the allowance for credit losses related to loans under the FPI Loan Program. She added that this was partially offset by lower property operating and depreciation expenses (attributed to dispositions) and savings on corporate and travel expenses following the MWA sale. For 2026, Landi provided updated guidance, citing changes since February. She said management fees and interest income assumptions increased due to “the amendment and extensions of loans under the FPI loan program,” while expense assumptions rose due to an increased provision for credit loss allowance stemming from “higher allowance on potential credit losses of loans.” The company’s updated AFFO outlook is $13.2 million to $15.2 million, or $0.30 to $0.35 per share. Landi said the range represents a decrease “from the prior quarter on both the high and low end of the range.” Fabbri said the company continues to “marginally improve the overall quality of our portfolio” and disclosed another California property disposition. He described California as a region the company views as “subject to volatility and to risks,” adding that management “welcome[s] the reduction to that kind of exposure.” Despite broader uncertainty, Fabbri said farmland “continues to demonstrate its strength and its resilience,” and reiterated management’s confidence in the asset class. During the Q&A, B. Riley Securities analyst John Massocca asked about the increase in loan-loss reserves and whether it reflected changing views on farm valuations. Pittman said the additional reserves were not driven by direct concerns about collection, but rather caution given the risk profile of the loan program. He added that one borrower “continues to have…critical challenges” and has faced a “negative news cycle.” Pittman said that while the company may feel secure about its specific loans, borrower complications with other lenders can make situations more complex and “in a non sort of defined way increases risk.” Pittman later clarified the issues were “very specific to that borrower” and “not a crop type issue.” Massocca also asked whether geopolitical events were affecting farmland transaction markets. Pittman said the conflict in the Middle East does not have a “direct line of sight impact” on farmland transactions. Instead, he pointed to a “somewhat challenging farm economy based on crop price versus cost of operation,” which can make farmers less aggressive bidders. Pittman emphasized that farmland values tend to move slowly, with “a very slow, steady upward march” driven by land scarcity and food demand. On the potential farm input impact from the war in Iran, Pittman said most U.S. fertilizer does not come from the Middle East or the Gulf, and he had not heard reports of fertilizer shortages. He did note that higher fertilizer prices could influence crop decisions, potentially favoring soybeans over corn. Pittman also referenced recent grain price increases, particularly in wheat, while attributing corn and wheat price strength at least partly to drought conditions in the southeastern U.S., which he described as “very, very significant.” Asked about diesel prices, Pittman said diesel is “a relatively small portion” of a farmer’s crop budget—estimating around 10% or less—and noted that many farmers hedge or pre-buy fuel, which can delay the impact of price increases on farm financials. Raymond James analyst Susie Hyde asked about capital allocation priorities as loan program repayments come in later in the year. Pittman said most returned capital is likely to be used for “continued deleveraging of the balance sheet,” though he said share repurchases could be considered depending on the stock price. Fabbri agreed, saying deleveraging is the current priority while the company remains “very, very opportunistic” regarding potential stock repurchases. Finally, Massocca asked about the expected rate on the repricing of the MetLife term loan number seven in June. Landi said the company expects it to be “fairly in line with what we did with the two that occurred in Q1.” Landi also said the rate locks “just before,” with Fabbri indicating the timing would be “late May, early June.” Farmland Partners Inc is a real estate investment trust (REIT) that acquires and manages high-quality farmland in the United States. The company's primary business activity is the ownership of agricultural land, which it leases to farmers under various rental arrangements designed to generate stable cash rents and long-term capital appreciation. By focusing on farmland as a real asset, the company seeks to benefit from rising global demand for food, fiber and renewable fuels. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, Farmland Partners completed its initial public offering in June 2017 and began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker FPI.

Forward-Looking Statements This press release includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including, without limitation, statements with respect to our outlook and the outlook for the farm economy generally, proposed and pending acquisitions and dispositions, financing activities, crop yields and prices and anticipated rental rates. Forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "should," "could," "would," "predicts," "potential," "continue," "expects," "anticipates," "future," "intends," "plans," "believes," "estimates" or similar expressions or their negatives, as well as statements in future tense. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, beliefs and expectations, such forward-looking statements are not predictions of future events or guarantees of future performance, and our actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.

Any forward-looking information presented herein is made only as of the date of this press release, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking information to reflect changes in assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events, or otherwise. Non-GAAP Financial Measures The Company considers the following non-GAAP measures to be useful to investors as key supplemental measures of its performance: FFO, NOI, AFFO, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income or loss as a measure of the Company’s operating performance. FFO, NOI, AFFO, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, as calculated by the Company, may not be comparable to other companies that do not define such terms in exactly the same way as the Company. FFO The Company calculates FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or Nareit. Nareit defines FFO as net income (loss) (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, real estate related depreciation, depletion and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), impairment write-downs of depreciated property, and adjustments associated with impairment write-downs for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Management presents FFO as a supplemental performance measure because it believes that FFO is beneficial to investors as a starting point in measuring the Company’s operational performance. Specifically, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from sales of depreciable operating properties, which do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. The Company also believes that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare the Company’s operating performance with that of other REITs. However, other equity REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the Nareit definition as the Company does, and, accordingly, the Company’s FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ FFO. AFFO The Company calculates AFFO by adjusting FFO to exclude the income and expenses that the Company believes are not reflective of the sustainability of the Company’s ongoing operating performance, including, but not limited to, real estate related acquisition and due diligence costs, stock-based compensation and incentive, deferred impact of interest rate swap terminations and distributions on the Company’s preferred units. Changes in GAAP accounting and reporting rules that were put in effect after the establishment of Nareit’s definition of FFO in 1999 result in the inclusion of a number of items in FFO that do not correlate with the sustainability of the Company’s operating performance. Therefore, in addition to FFO, the Company presents AFFO and AFFO per share, fully diluted, both of which are non-GAAP measures. Management considers AFFO a useful supplemental performance metric for investors as it is more indicative of the Company’s operational performance than FFO. AFFO is not intended to represent cash flow or liquidity for the period and is only intended to provide an additional measure of the Company’s operating performance. Even AFFO, however, does not properly capture the timing of cash receipts, especially in connection with full-year rent payments under lease agreements entered into in connection with newly acquired farms. Management considers AFFO per share, fully diluted to be a supplemental metric to GAAP earnings per share. AFFO per share, fully diluted provides additional insight into how the Company’s operating performance could be allocated to potential shares outstanding at a specific point in time. Management believes that AFFO is a widely recognized measure of the operations of REITs and presenting AFFO will enable investors to assess the Company’s performance in comparison to other REITs. However, other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating AFFO and AFFO per share, fully diluted and, accordingly, the Company’s AFFO and AFFO per share, fully diluted may not always be comparable to AFFO and AFFO per share amounts calculated by other REITs. AFFO and AFFO per share, fully diluted should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or earnings per share (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of financial performance, or as an alternative to net income (loss) earnings per share (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the Company’s liquidity, nor are they indicative of funds available to fund the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to make distributions. EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre The Company calculates Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization for real estate ("EBITDAre") in accordance with the standards established by Nareit in its September 2017 White Paper. Nareit defines EBITDAre as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) excluding interest expense, income tax, depreciation and amortization, gains or losses on disposition of depreciated property (including gains or losses on change of control), impairment write-downs of depreciated property and of investments in unconsolidated affiliates caused by a decrease in value of depreciated property in the affiliate, and adjustments to reflect the entity’s pro rata share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated affiliates. EBITDAre is a key financial measure used to evaluate the Company’s operating performance but should not be construed as an alternative to operating income, cash flows from operating activities or net income, in each case as determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that EBITDAre is a useful performance measure commonly reported and will be widely used by analysts and investors in the Company’s industry. However, while EBITDAre is a performance measure widely used across the Company’s industry, the Company does not believe that it correctly captures the Company’s business operating performance because it includes non-cash expenses and recurring adjustments that are necessary to better understand the Company’s business operating performance. Therefore, in addition to EBITDAre, management uses Adjusted EBITDAre, a non-GAAP measure. The Company calculates Adjusted EBITDAre by adjusting EBITDAre for certain items such as stock-based compensation and incentive and real estate related acquisition and due diligence costs that the Company considers necessary to understand its operating performance. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDAre provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding the Company’s ongoing operating performance that, when considered with net income and EBITDAre, is beneficial to an investor’s understanding of the Company’s operating performance. However, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under GAAP. In prior periods, the Company has presented EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. In accordance with Nareit’s recommendation, beginning with the Company’s reported results for the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company is reporting EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre in place of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Net Operating Income (NOI) The Company calculates net operating income (NOI) as total operating revenues (rental income, tenant reimbursements, crop sales and other revenue), less property operating expenses (direct property expenses and real estate taxes), less cost of goods sold. Since net operating income excludes general and administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, acquisition-related expenses, other income and losses and extraordinary items, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and leasing farmland real estate, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from net income. However, net operating income should not be viewed as an alternative measure of the Company’s financial performance since it does not reflect general and administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization costs, other income and losses.

FY2026 Q1 earnings call transcript
Thank you. I would now like to turn the conference over to Luca Fabbri, President and Chief Executive, please go ahead.
Thank you, Janice. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to Farmland Partners' first quarter 2026 earnings conference call and webcast. We truly appreciate your taking the time to join us for this call because we see them as a very important opportunity to share with you our thinking and our strategy in a format less formal and more interactive than public filings and press releases. I will now turn the call over to our General Counsel, Christine M. Garrison, for some customary preliminary remarks. Christine.
Thank you, Luca, and thank you to everyone on the call. The press release announcing our first quarter earnings was distributed after market close yesterday. The supplemental package has been posted to the investor relations section of our website under the subheader Events and Presentations. For those who listen to the recording of this presentation, we remind you that the remarks made herein are as of today, April 30th, and will not be updated subsequent to this call. During this call, we will make forward-looking statements, including statements related to the future performance of our portfolio, our identified and potential acquisitions and dispositions, impact of acquisitions, dispositions and financing activities, business development opportunities, as well as comments on our outlook for our business rents in the broader agricultural markets.
We'll also discuss certain non-GAAP financial measures, including net operating income, FFO, adjusted FFO, EBITDAre, and Adjusted EBITDAre. Definitions of these non-GAAP measures, as well as reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures, are included in the company's press release announcing first quarter 2026 earnings, which is available on our website, farmlandpartners.com, and is furnished as an exhibit to our current report on Form 8-K, dated April 29th, 2026. Listeners are cautioned that these statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond our control. These risks and uncertainties can cause actual results to differ materially from our current expectations. We advise listeners to review the risk factors discussed in our press release distributed yesterday and the documents we have filed with or furnished to the SEC.
I would now like to turn the call to our Executive Chairman, Paul Pittman. Paul.
Thank you, Christine. It was all in all a pretty good quarter. I'm just gonna address a couple of issues in my prepared comments, and then I'll turn it over to Luca. The first issue is we've been getting some questions about what's the impact of the war in Iran on fertilizer, grain prices, farmer outlook, et cetera. Let me kind of hit a couple of key issues, and if anybody has follow-ups, we can deal with it in Q&A. The first is on fertilizer. Most of the U.S. fertilizer does not come from the Middle East or from the Gulf. Generally, it frankly comes from the U.S. and Canada.
All in all, the U.S. farmer, while prices may be higher for fertilizer, is sort of unaffected from a supply perspective on fertilizer. I think if this went on for another year, it would have some impact, but largely speaking, I haven't heard any reports about a lack of fertilizer. What I have heard is some people changing crop decisions because cost of fertilizer is an issue, which may lead to slightly less corn being produced as opposed to soybeans in particular. That's really kind of on the fertilizer front. We have seen some grain price increases recently, particularly in wheat. The U.S. is not a huge worldwide producer of wheat compared to some other places in the world.
You have seen, wheat is also very fertilizer intensive. You may see less wheat grown or less yield on wheat in other parts of the world because of the limitation on fertilizer production coming out of the Gulf. We've seen some wheat price increases, some corn increases as price increases as well. I think that's at least as much due to drought in the U.S. as it is to the war that's going on in Iran. The drought in the southeastern portion of the U.S., which is a reasonably large wheat producer, is very, very significant. I read this morning it's actually the worst, the worst drought, that may have ever been at this point in the southeast.
That'll lead to, you know, probably lead to somewhat, increases in grain prices. The final question we've been getting is about how all that might impact our next cycle of rent negotiations. The real answer is it's really too early to tell. This doesn't move through the, you know, things like the war in Iran does not move through the farm economy overnight. You know, certainly doesn't move through nearly as quickly as the up and down of the public markets. This is gonna be a kinda slow-moving, process. Higher grain prices obviously, help us in our upcoming rent negotiations, which won't even start for another few months. You know, lower grain prices obviously hurt in those negotiations.
Just to give context, hurt means we're largely flat and have a hard time getting increases. Good times is when we can get, you know, modest increases in rents. The final issue I wanna address before I turn over to Luca is, we did take some additional loan loss reserves, not because we're, you know, directly concerned that we won't collect, but we are obviously making relatively high interest rate, high risk loans, and we just think it's prudent to continue to make some reserves under the eventuality that, you know, we didn't collect everything. Hopefully, those things get reversed, but we put them in our financials.
You know, in an effort to be cautious and conservative, given the risk profile, of our loan program. With that, I'm gonna turn it over to you, Luca, and I'll be back at the Q&A.
Thank you, Paul. This quarter was very much in line with expectations from an operational standpoint. The largest items of note, we actually already addressed in the prior call, which is the completed redemption of our Series A preferred units. They were a significant overhang on the company in case we had to convert them into common at prices that we consider at a significant discount to our intrinsic value. We had prepared for this event for a long time by shoring up our liquidity reserves, and we were able to satisfy our Series A holders in cash. Despite that, we still have a very strong liquidity position. We have access to about $114 million in untapped liquidity on our lines of credit.
We from a balance sheet perspective, our company is very, very strong at this point in time. On the portfolio side, we continue to marginally improve the overall quality of our portfolio. We dispose of another California property, which we consider a region, you know, subject to volatility and to risks, and therefore we welcome the reduction to that kind of exposure. Overall, in the global picture, you know, if you set AI aside, this is a time of great uncertainty and volatility and so on and so forth. In the agricultural sector in particular, there is quite a bit of trepidation about what's going to happen on the cost side, as Paul was outlining.
Overall, farmland as an asset class continues to demonstrate its strength and its resilience, and we remain a very, very strong believer in the quality of the asset class. With that, I will turn the call over to our CFO, Susan Landi, for her overview of the company's financial performance. Susan?
Thank you, Luca. We're gonna cover a few items today, including the summary of the three months ended March 31st, 2026, a review of our capital structure, and updated guidance for 2026. I'll be referring to the supplemental package, which is available in the investor relations section of our website under the subheader Events and Presentations. First, I will share a few financial metrics that appear on page two. For the three months ended March 31st, 2026, net income was $0.6 million, or $0.01 per share available to common stockholders, which was lower than the same period for 2025. AFFO was $2.1 million versus $2.3 million for the same period of 2025, or $0.05 per weighted average share, which was the same as Q1 of 2025.
Page 5 shows a more comprehensive look at the main drivers of the changes year-over-year. On the revenue side, we were positively impacted by higher interest income due to a higher average balance on loans under the FPI Loan Program and financing receivables, an increase in amortization of points, and higher proceeds from oil and gas royalties. These increases were partially offset by lower rental income due to asset dispositions, the absence of auction brokerage and third-party management income due to the sale of MWA in the fourth quarter of 2025. Operating expenses are slightly higher over the prior year due to the increase in the allowance for credit losses related to loans under the FPI Loan Program.
This increase was partially offset by decreases in property operating and depreciation expenses, which are due to asset dispositions and savings on corporate and travel expenses as a result of the sale of MWA. On page 12, there are a few capital structure items to point out. We had undrawn capacity on lines of credit of approximately $114 million at the end of Q1 of 2026. Borrowings during the quarter were primarily used to redeem the remaining Series A preferred units. We had rate resets on three MetLife loans during the quarter. The aggregate amount of these loans was $19.3 million. The weighted average rate on these loans went from about 5.56 to 5.19. The MetLife term loan number seven is scheduled to reprice in June.
Moving on to page 15, you'll see our updated outlook for 2026. The assumptions are listed at the bottom of the page. On the revenue side, changes from the February guidance include management fees and interest income, which is higher due to the amendment and extensions of loans under the FPI loan program. On the expense side, changes from the February guidance include an increase in provision for credit loss allowance due to higher allowance on potential credit losses of loans. The forecasted range of AFFO is $13.2 million-$15.2 million, or $0.30-$0.35 per share, which is a decrease from the prior quarter on both the high and low end of the range. This summarizes where we stand today. We will keep you updated as we progress through the year. This wraps up our comments this morning.
Thank you all for participating. Operator, you can now begin the Q&A session.
At this time, I would like to remind everyone in order to ask question, press star then the one on your telephone keypad. We will pause for just a moment to compile a Q&A roster. Your first question is coming from the line of John Massocca with B. Riley Securities. Please go ahead.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Morning, John.
Let me just kind of Oh,
Go ahead.
Maybe just to clarify on the loan reserve increase, is that being tied to the performance of the borrower? I mean, is there something specific you're seeing there? It just seems like, you know, it seems like it's an older loan, right? It's not a new loan necessarily creating more reserves. Just kind of curious why the change, if it kind of seemed like there wasn't a major change in the outlook for kind of farm valuations.
Yeah. We make loans to a variety of different folks. One of the lenders, one of the borrowers continues to have, you know, sort of some critical challenges in their overall business, and, you know, have, you know, negative news cycle, if you will. While we may feel secure about our specific loans, that negative news cycle always makes us nervous, which is really what's kind of driving the, you know, the reserves. When things get messy for a borrower with other lenders, even though it may not directly affect our collateral position, it just makes the whole, you know, any situation more complicated, and, you know, in a non sort of defined way increases risk. That's what's driving those concerns.
Are those issues caused at all about a certain crop type having headwinds, or is it more just very specific to the borrower themselves?
No, it's very, it's very specific to that borrower. It's not a crop type issue.
Okay. In terms of the size of the outstanding Loan Program, I mean, is any of that kind of maintained size and kind of growing interest income tied to extensions on that with that particular borrower, or is it just kind of more broadly either extensions or new loans within the Program?
Some of the some of the extensions and some of the increased interest rates are related to that buyer or that borrower.
Shifting gears maybe a little bit, has the conflict in the Middle East and maybe some of the uncertainty around prices impacted the disposition market, for transactions to the extent you're still really looking for more kind of sale opportunities within your portfolio, within your non-core portfolio?
No, no. What's going on in the Middle East doesn't have any kind of sort of direct line of sight impact on the transaction market for farmland. What does have an impact is the general economy/general ag economy. You know, we're not in any real different situation than we were before hostilities in Iran started. We were in a somewhat challenging farm economy based on crop price versus cost of operation. That makes farmers less aggressive bidders on properties. As we always talk about, the farmers are the most aggressive bidders and really sort of set the price for properties. This is, again, this is not, you know, you don't have a pendulum here that swings very far.
You know, good times are, okay, 5%, if you're really lucky, 7% or 8% increases in land values on a per annual basis, bad times are, you know, only up 1% or 2%, or maybe flat, or maybe even down 1% or 2%. You know, I think it's just incredibly important to always recognize that we're in a industry with a very slow, steady upward march in asset values due to scarcity and fundamentally due to food demand. Those are not things that, you know, all of us involved in public markets have a hard time grasping this. You know, you just don't get the kind of volatility swings we're used to seeing in asset values or crop price or anything else.
It's very glacial in terms of, you know, with a pretty strong upward trend. It doesn't, it just doesn't move quickly no matter what.
Okay. You talked a little bit about kind of the impact or non-impact of fertilizer prices. Just as someone who's much closer to kind of the farm economy than, you know, most other people on the call, how impactful has the increase in diesel prices been, and is that something that can maybe be even more meaningful for farmers versus fertilizer or something where it's just a relatively small portion of the overall cost of running the farm?
It's a relatively small portion is the answer. A couple of things to grasp here. Number one, most farmers, most farmers of scale do some level of hedging or pre-buying of their diesel fuel. You know, it's quite common for a farmer to have, you know, 10,000 gallons or multiple 10,000 gallon tanks of diesel on their farm. And they probably bought that, you know, sometime last winter, well before the Iranian hostilities began. You know, not a huge impact, but obviously as they look forward on their budgets, you know, they'll run out of that fuel sometime this summer, have to replace it. You know, when they start trucking this fall, you know, diesel will affect trucking costs.
You know, it's certainly not positive for their P&L, but again, it just doesn't come through very quickly because of the amount of kind of pre-bought capacity on diesel. You know, round numbers, diesel might be in the neighborhood of 10% of a farmer's crop budget, maybe a little less, you know. It's just not, it's not a huge impact overall. Probably less impactful than fertilizer cost on the, you know, the corn and wheat crops. Hope that helps.
Yeah. I appreciate all the color. I'll cede the floor. Thank you very much.
There's no other questions in queue at this time. Oh, there's one that just came in. It's coming from the line of Susie Hyde with Raymond James. Please go ahead.
Hey, guys. Sorry, just sneak this one in. Just a quick follow-up on the FPI Loan Program. It looks you have probably somewhere around $30 million coming in later this year. Are there any kind of priorities for capital allocation we should be thinking about, share repurchases, deleveraging the balance sheet a little bit further, extending new loans? Any, any kind of color you can provide would be very helpful. Thank you.
Yeah. I would say that most of that capital when it gets returned to us, is likely to go for continued deleveraging of the balance sheet. You know, I think our stock is still a relative bargain, although not as big a bargain as it has been in times past. You know, you could see us buy stock back depending on stock price, but more likely deleveraging would be my current thinking. Luca or Susan, if you have a point of view on this, feel free to express it, even if it's frankly different than mine.
No. The, as we've discussed, that's our priority right now on capital allocation is frankly delevering. We remain, as Paul mentioned, we remain very, very opportunistic on the stock price in watching it and planning, implementing potential stock repurchases.
Got it. Thank you. That's all I had.
Your next question is coming from the line of John Massocca with B. Riley Securities. Please go ahead.
Yeah. Just a quick follow-up one. Any kind of outlook currently for what you would expect the rate to be on the repricing of the term loan number seven in June?
I'm gonna turn that over to Luca or Susan, if you wanna make a comment there.
At this point, we're expecting it to be fairly in line with what we did with the two that occurred in Q1.
Yeah. I would expect to add on to that, expect the spread to be consistent, Of course your guess on rates is as good as mine.
All right. Does that lock in in June, or is it locking in advance of the actual change?
It locks just before.
Yeah. It will be-
Okay
late May, early June.
Okay, perfect. Thank you very much. That's it for me.
There's no questions in queue at this time. That concludes our Q&A session. I will now turn the conference back over to Luca Fabbri for closing remarks. Please go ahead.
Thanks, Janice. We appreciate your interest in our company and look forward to updating you on our activities and results in the coming quarters. Have a great day, everybody.
Ladies and gentlemen, that concludes today's call. Thank you all for joining. You may now disconnect.
