Organization

Farmland Partners Inc. (“FPI”), collectively with its subsidiaries, is an internally managed real estate company that owns and seeks to acquire high-quality farmland located in agricultural markets throughout North America. FPI was incorporated in Maryland on September 27, 2013. FPI elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with its short taxable year ended December 31, 2014.  

FPI is the sole member of the sole general partner of Farmland Partners Operating Partnership, LP (the “Operating Partnership”), which was formed in Delaware on September 27, 2013. All of FPI’s assets are held by, and its operations are primarily conducted through, the Operating Partnership and the wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. As of June 30, 2025, FPI owned a 97.5% interest in the Operating Partnership. See “Note 9—Stockholders’ Equity and Non-controlling Interests” for additional discussion regarding Class A Common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“Common units”) and Series A preferred units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“Series A preferred units”). Unlike holders of FPI’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“common stock”), holders of the Operating Partnership’s Common units and Series A preferred units generally do not have voting rights or the power to direct the affairs of FPI. As the sole member of the sole general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, FPI is the primary beneficiary and therefore consolidates the Operating Partnership in accordance with accounting standards for consolidation of variable interest entities. As of June 30, 2025, the Operating Partnership owned a 9.97% equity interest in an unconsolidated equity method investment that holds 11 properties.

 

References to the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” mean collectively FPI and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership.

As of June 30, 2025, the Company owned a portfolio of approximately 75,900 acres of farmland, which is consolidated in these financial statements. In addition, as of June 30, 2025, the Company owned land and buildings for four agriculture equipment dealerships in Ohio leased to Ag-Pro Ohio, LLC (“Ag Pro”) under the John Deere brand and served as property manager for approximately 49,600 acres of farmland (see “Note 6—Loans and Financing Receivables”).

On March 16, 2015, the Company formed FPI Agribusiness Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary (the “TRS” or “FPI Agribusiness”), as a taxable REIT subsidiary. We engage directly in farming, provide property management, auction, and brokerage and volume purchasing services to our tenants through the TRS. As of June 30, 2025, the TRS performed direct farming operations on 2,103 acres of farmland owned by the Company located in California.

All references to numbers and percent of acres within this report are unaudited.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of FPI and the Operating Partnership and any other entity in which FPI holds a controlling financial interest. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the presentation used in the current year. Such reclassifications had no effect on net income or total equity.

Interim Financial Information

Interim Financial Information

The information in the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company as of June 30, 2025 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 is unaudited. The accompanying consolidated financial statements

include adjustments based on management’s estimates (consisting of normal and recurring accruals), which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods. The financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which the Company filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 20, 2025. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of actual operating results for the entire year ending December 31, 2025.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates for a variety of reasons, including, without limitation, the impacts of public health crises, the war in Ukraine and the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, substantially higher prices for oil and gas, tariffs or other changes in trade policy and substantially increased interest rates, and their effects on the domestic and global economies. We are unable to quantify the ultimate impact of these factors on our business.

Significant Accounting Policies

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Liquidity Policy

Liquidity Policy

The Company manages its liquidity position and expected liquidity needs taking into consideration current cash balances, undrawn availability under its lines of credit ($160.0 million as of June 30, 2025), and reasonably expected cash receipts. The business model of the Company, and of real estate investment companies in general, utilizes debt as a structural source of financing. When debt becomes due, it is generally refinanced rather than repaid using the Company’s cash flow from operations. The Company has a history of being able to refinance its debt obligations prior to maturity. Furthermore, the Company also has a substantial portfolio of real estate assets and demonstrated ability to readily sell assets if necessary to fund any immediate liquidity needs. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $192.7 million of mortgage and other debt against a portfolio of real estate assets with a net book value of $648.6 million.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are presented at face value, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.1 million and less than $0.1 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a reduction to rental revenue if in relation to revenues recognized in the year, or as property operating expenses if in relation to revenue recognized in the prior years.

Inventory

Inventory

Inventory consists of costs related to crops grown on farms directly operated by the TRS and is separated into growing crop inventory, harvested crop inventory or general inventory, as appropriate.

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, inventory consisted of the following:

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company did not incur any impairment charges related to goodwill and intangible assets.

The Company recorded amortization of customer relationships of less than $0.1 million during each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

Impairment of Real Estate Assets

Impairment of Real Estate Assets

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded an impairment in connection with certain properties in the West Coast region that the Company concluded have experienced a loss of value due to crop and water dynamics that are not recoverable in the short- or medium-term. The assets were written down to their estimated fair value. This is considered a Level 3 measurement under the fair value hierarchy. Level 3 measurements are defined as inputs to the valuation methodology that are unobservable, supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value measurement. These assets were valued based upon a market assessment of similar properties. As a result, the Company recognized $16.8 million of impairment on real estate assets in the accompanying financial statements during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

Segment Reporting

Segment Reporting

The majority of the Company’s revenue is derived from owning and managing properties leased to tenants. All assets and operations of the Company are located in the United States. The Company’s chief operating decision makers (the “CODMs”) (Paul Pittman, Executive Chairman, and Luca Fabri, President and Chief Executive Officer) do not evaluate performance on a farm-specific or transactional basis and do not distinguish the Company’s principal business or group its operations on a geographical basis for purposes of measuring performance. Accordingly, the Company has identified a single operating segment which is the entire entity for reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP and no aggregation of segments is required.

The CODMs assess performance and make decisions regarding the allocation of resources on a consolidated basis using Adjusted Funds from Operations (“AFFO”) and AFFO per share, which are non-GAAP measures. The CODMs use AFFO and AFFO per share to monitor budget versus actual results and evaluate performance of the segment in deciding whether to repay indebtedness, repurchase shares, fund and maintain our assets and operations, acquire new properties that we believe are accretive to long-term value creation, make distributions to our stockholders and unitholders, and fund other general business needs.

As the single operating segment is the Company in its entirety and the accounting policies for this segment are the same as the Company’s accounting policies described above, there are no differences between the measurements of the Company’s single operating segment and the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, information about the profit or loss, assets, investments, expenditures and all other significant items of the Company’s single reportable segment can be found on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or in the reconciliation of net income (loss) to AFFO and AFFO per share below. In addition, there are no changes from prior periods in the measurement methods used to determine segment information.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. Among other things, these amendments require that public business entities on an annual basis (i) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation, and (ii) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income or loss by the applicable statutory income tax rate). The amendments require that all entities disclose on an annual basis (i) the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes, (ii) the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid (net of refunds received) is equal to or greater than 5 percent of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received), (iii) income (loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign, and (iv) income tax expense (benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign. The ASU is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is in the process of assessing the effect of this update on the consolidated financial statement disclosures.

The FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses in November 2024. The purpose of the ASU is to improve the disclosures about an entity’s expenses and to address requests from investors for more transparent information about certain types of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and depletion) included within expense captions presented on the face of the income statement (such as cost of sales, SG&A, and research and development). The new standard requires these disclosures to be presented in tabular format within the notes to the financial statements and does not change the requirements for the

presentation of expenses on the face of the income statement. The ASU is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026. The Company is in the process of assessing the effect of this update on the consolidated financial statement disclosures.
