Schedule of Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance

Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance


Standard	Description	Date of Adoption	Effect on Consolidated Financial Statements
ASU 2025-09, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements	ASU 2025-09 amends ASC 815 to align hedge accounting more closely with the economics of an entity's risk management practices. Among other things, key amendments include: similar risk assessment for cash flow hedges, hedging interest payments on choose-your-rate debt, cash flow hedges of nonfinancial forecasted transactions, and net written options as hedging instruments.	January 1, 2026	Farmer Mac adopted the new standard on a prospective basis. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on Farmer Mac's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. See Note 3 to the financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance, Not Yet Adopted Within Our Consolidated Financial Statements

Farmer Mac is still assessing the impact of the new accounting standards in the table below but does not expect that adoption of the new guidance will have a material impact on Farmer Mac's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.


Standard			Description
ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses			This Update requires public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted.
ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software			This Update amends certain aspects of the accounting for and disclosure of software costs under ASC 350-40. It removes all references to "development stages" and establishes new criteria to be met for the entity to begin capitalizing software costs. New guidance is then given for how to evaluate whether the probable-to-complete recognition threshold has been met. ASU 2025-06 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted.
ASU 2025-08, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans			This Update expands the scope of the "gross-up" approach from applicable only to purchased credit-deteriorated ("PCD") assets to include financial assets acquired without credit deterioration and deemed "seasoned." Non-PCD loans are seasoned if they were purchased at least 90 days after origination and the acquirer was not involved in the origination of the loans. Under this model, an allowance for expected credit losses is recognized at acquisition, offsetting the loan's amortized cost basis, thereby eliminating the day-one credit-loss expense previously required for non-PCD assets. ASU 2025-08 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted.
ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements			This Update clarifies interim disclosure requirements, including providing a comprehensive list of interim disclosure requirements under U.S. GAAP and a disclosure principle that requires entities to disclose events since the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. ASU 2025-11 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted.

- Definition

Tabular disclosure of the significant judgments and assumptions made in determining whether a variable interest (as defined) held by the entity requires the variable interest entity (VIE) (as defined) to be consolidated and (or) disclose information about its involvement with the VIE, individually or in aggregate (as applicable); the nature of restrictions, if any, on the consolidated VIE's assets and on the settlement of its liabilities reported by an entity in its statement of financial position, including the carrying amounts of such assets and liabilities; the nature of, and changes in, the risks associated with involvement in the VIE; how involvement with the VIE affects the entity's financial position, financial performance, and cash flows; the lack of recourse if creditors (or beneficial interest holders) of the consolidated VIE have no recourse to the general credit of the primary beneficiary (if applicable); the terms of arrangements, giving consideration to both explicit arrangements and implicit variable interests, if any, that could require the entity to provide financial support to the VIE, including events or circumstances that could expose the entity to a loss; the methodology used by the entity for determining whether or not it is the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entity; the significant factors considered and judgments made in determining that the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance are shared (as defined); the carrying amounts and classification of assets and liabilities of the VIE included in the statement of financial position; the entity's maximum exposure to loss, if any, as a result of its involvement with the VIE, including how the maximum exposure is determined and significant sources of the entity's exposure to the VIE; a comparison of the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities and the entity's maximum exposure to loss; information about any liquidity arrangements, guarantees, and (or) other commitments by third parties that may affect the fair value or risk of the entity's variable interest in the VIE; whether or not the entity has provided financial support or other support (explicitly or implicitly) to the VIE that it was not previously contractually required to provide or whether the entity intends to provide that support, including the type and amount of the support and the primary reasons for providing the support; and supplemental information the entity determines necessary to provide.
