SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation ("Farmer Mac") and subsidiaries have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows of Farmer Mac and subsidiaries for the interim periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements have been omitted as permitted by SEC rules and regulations. The December 31, 2021 consolidated balance sheet presented in this report has been derived from Farmer Mac's audited 2021 consolidated financial statements. Management believes that the disclosures are adequate to present fairly the consolidated financial statements as of the dates and for the periods presented. These interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2021 consolidated financial statements of Farmer Mac and subsidiaries included in Farmer Mac's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC on February 28, 2022. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those that may be expected for the fiscal year. Presented below are Farmer Mac's significant accounting policies that contain updated information for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Farmer Mac and its two subsidiaries: (1) Farmer Mac Mortgage Securities Corporation, whose principal activities are to facilitate the purchase and issuance of Farmer Mac Guaranteed Securities; and (2) Farmer Mac II LLC, whose principal activity is the operation of substantially all of the business related to the USDA Securities included in the Agricultural Finance line of business. The consolidated financial statements also include the accounts of Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs") in which Farmer Mac determined itself to be the primary beneficiary. 8 Table 1.1 Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities As of March 31, 2022 Agricultural Finance Treasury Total (in thousands) On-Balance Sheet: Consolidated VIEs: Loans held for investment in consolidated trusts, at amortized cost $ 888,200 $ — $ 888,200 Debt securities of consolidated trusts held by third parties (1) 895,145 — 895,145 Unconsolidated VIEs: Farmer Mac Guaranteed Securities: Carrying value 37,018 — 37,018 Maximum exposure to loss (2) 37,956 — 37,956 Investment securities: Carrying value (3) — 2,430,613 2,430,613 Maximum exposure to loss (2) (3) — 2,465,989 2,465,989 Off-Balance Sheet: Unconsolidated VIEs: Farmer Mac Guaranteed Securities: Maximum exposure to loss (2) (4) 544,484 — 544,484 (1) Includes borrower remittances of $ 6.9 million. The borrower remittances had not been passed through to third-party investors as of March 31, 2022. (2) Farmer Mac uses unpaid principal balance and outstanding face amount of investment securities to represent maximum exposure to loss. (3) Includes auction-rate certificates, government-sponsored enterprise ("GSE")-guaranteed mortgage-backed securities, and other mission related investments. (4) The amount under the Agricultural Finance line of business relates to unconsolidated trusts where it was determined that Farmer Mac was either not the primary beneficiary due to shared power with an unrelated party or a subordinate class majority holder has the unilateral right to remove Farmer Mac as Master Servicer without cause. 9 Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities As of December 31, 2021 Agricultural Finance Treasury Total (in thousands) On-Balance Sheet: Consolidated VIEs: Loans held for investment in consolidated trusts, at amortized cost $ 948,623 $ — $ 948,623 Debt securities of consolidated trusts held by third parties (1) 981,379 — 981,379 Unconsolidated VIEs: Farmer Mac Guaranteed Securities: Carrying value 42,298 — 42,298 Maximum exposure to loss (2) 42,155 — 42,155 Investment securities: Carrying value (3) — 2,258,219 2,258,219 Maximum exposure to loss (2) (3) — 2,246,272 2,246,272 Off-Balance Sheet: Unconsolidated VIEs: Farmer Mac Guaranteed Securities: Maximum exposure to loss (2) (4) 578,358 — 578,358 (1) Includes borrower remittances of $ 32.8 million.

(3) Includes auction-rate certificates, government-sponsored enterprise ("GSE")-guaranteed mortgage-backed securities, and other mission related investments. (4) The amount under the Agricultural Finance line of business relates to unconsolidated trusts where it was determined that Farmer Mac was either not the primary beneficiary due to shared power with an unrelated party or a subordinate class majority holder has the unilateral right to remove Farmer Mac as Master Servicer without cause. (a) Earnings Per Common Share Basic earnings per common share ("EPS") is based on the daily weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share is based on the daily weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding adjusted to include all potentially dilutive stock appreciation rights ("SARs") and unvested restricted stock awards. The following schedule reconciles basic and diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021: Table 1.2 For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 March 31, 2021 Net Income Weighted-Average Shares $ per Share Net Income Weighted-Average Shares $ per Share (in thousands, except per share amounts) Basic EPS Net income attributable to common stockholders $ 41,046 10,767 $ 3.81 $ 27,958 10,738 $ 2.60 Effect of dilutive securities (1) SARs and restricted stock — 120 ( 0.04 ) — 81 ( 0.02 ) Diluted EPS $ 41,046 10,887 $ 3.77 $ 27,958 10,819 $ 2.58 (1) For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, SARs and restricted stock of 50,005 and 99,684 , respectively, were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share of common stock because they were anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 contingent shares of unvested restricted stock of 18,535 and 18,183 respectively, were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share of common stock because performance conditions had not yet been met. 10 (b) Comprehensive Income Comprehensive income represents all changes in stockholders' equity except those resulting from investments by or distributions to stockholders, and is comprised of net income and unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities, certain held-to-maturity securities transferred from the available-for-sale classification, and cash flow hedges, net of related taxes. The following table presents the changes in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI"), net of tax, by component for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

(2) Represents amortization of deferred gains related to certain available-for-sale USDA Securities and Farmer Mac Guaranteed USDA Securities. (3) Relates to the amortization of unrealized gains or losses prior to the reclassification of these securities from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity. The amortization of unrealized gains or losses reported in AOCI for held-to-maturity securities will be offset by the amortization of the premium or discount created from the transfer into held-to-maturity securities, which occurred at fair value. These unrealized gains or losses will be recorded over the remaining life of the security with no impact on future net income. (4) Relates to the recognition of unrealized gains and losses on cash flow hedges recorded in AOCI. 12 (c) New Accounting Standards Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance Standard Description Date of Adoption Effect on Consolidated Financial Statements ASU 2020-04 and 2021-01 , Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting The amendments in this Update provide optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform on financial reporting. They provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. January 1, 2020 Farmer Mac adopted optional expedients specific to discounting transition on a retrospective basis, and as a result of this election, the discounting transition did not have a material effect on Farmer Mac's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Recently Issued Accounting Guidance Standard Description Effect on Consolidated Financial Statements ASU 2022-02 , Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures The Update addresses and amends areas identified by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") as part of its post-implementation review of the accounting standard that introduced the current expected credit losses (“CECL”) model. The amendments eliminate the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings by creditors that have adopted the CECL model and enhance the disclosure requirements for loan refinancings and restructurings made with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, the amendments require disclosure of current-period gross writeoffs for financing receivables and net investment in leases by year of origination in the vintage disclosures. ASU 2022-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years for entities that have adopted the CECL accounting standard. Early adoption, however, is permitted if an entity has adopted the CECL accounting standard. Farmer Mac is still assessing the impact of the new accounting standard but does not expect that adoption of the new guidance will have a material effect on Farmer Mac's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. 2.

Farmer Mac did no t sell any securities from its available-for-sale investment portfolio during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, unrealized losses on available-for-sale investment securities were as follows: Table 2.2 As of March 31, 2022 Available-for-Sale Securities Unrealized loss position for less than 12 months Unrealized loss position for more than 12 months Fair Value Unrealized Loss Fair Value Unrealized Loss (dollars in thousands) Floating rate auction-rate certificates backed by Government guaranteed student loans $ — $ — $ 18,961 $ ( 690 ) Floating rate Government/GSE guaranteed mortgage-backed securities 707,266 ( 2,751 ) 29,511 ( 279 ) Fixed rate Government/GSE guaranteed mortgage-backed securities 520,485 ( 48,688 ) — — Fixed rate U.S. Treasuries 1,226,248 ( 15,928 ) 119,312 ( 1,852 ) Total $ 2,453,999 $ ( 67,367 ) $ 167,784 $ ( 2,821 ) Number of securities in loss position 98 20 14 As of December 31, 2021 Available-for-Sale Securities Unrealized loss position for less than 12 months Unrealized loss position for more than 12 months Fair Value Unrealized Loss Fair Value Unrealized Loss (dollars in thousands) Floating rate auction-rate certificates backed by Government guaranteed student loans $ — $ — $ 19,254 $ ( 394 ) Floating rate Government/GSE guaranteed mortgage-backed securities 459,195 ( 619 ) 37,307 ( 477 ) Fixed rate Government/GSE guaranteed mortgage-backed securities 406,805 ( 5,730 ) — — Fixed rate U.S. Treasuries 1,123,439 ( 3,070 ) 51,031 ( 184 ) Total $ 1,989,439 $ ( 9,419 ) $ 107,592 $ ( 1,055 ) Number of securities in loss position 69 24 The unrealized losses presented above are principally due to a general widening of market spreads and changes in the levels of interest rates from the dates of acquisition to March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, as applicable. The resulting decrease in fair values reflects an increase in the perceived risk by the financial markets related to those securities. As of both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, all of the investment securities in an unrealized loss position either were backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government or had credit ratings of at least "AA+." Securities in unrealized loss positions for 12 months or longer have a fair value as of March 31, 2022 that is, on average, approximately 98.4 % of their amortized cost basis. Farmer Mac believes that all of these unrealized losses are recoverable within a reasonable period of time by way of maturity or changes in credit spreads. The amortized cost, fair value, and weighted-average yield of available-for-sale investment securities by remaining contractual maturity as of March 31, 2022 are set forth below. Asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities are included based on their final maturities, although the actual maturities may differ due to prepayments of the underlying assets.

This amount could differ from amounts actually recognized due to changes in interest rates, hedge de-designations, and the addition of other hedges after March 31, 2022. During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, there were no gains or losses from interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges reclassified to earnings because it was probable that the

LOANS Farmer Mac classifies loans as either held for investment or held for sale. Loans held for investment are recorded at the unpaid principal balance, net of unamortized premium or discount and other cost basis adjustments. Loans held for sale are reported at the lower of cost or fair value determined on a pooled basis. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Farmer Mac had $ 9.0 million and no loans held for sale, respectively. Farmer Mac did not record any lower of cost or fair value adjustments during the three months ended March 31, 2022 or 2021. The following table includes loans held for investment and loans held for sale and displays the composition of the loan balances as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021: Table 5.1 As of March 31, 2022 As of December 31, 2021 Unsecuritized In Consolidated Trusts Total Unsecuritized In Consolidated Trusts Total (in thousands) Agricultural Finance mortgage loans $ 6,044,029 $ 888,200 $ 6,932,229 $ 5,898,370 $ 948,623 $ 6,846,993 Rural Infrastructure Finance loans 2,551,851 — 2,551,851 2,389,136 — 2,389,136 Total unpaid principal balance (1) 8,595,880 888,200 9,484,080 8,287,506 948,623 9,236,129 Unamortized premiums, discounts, fair value hedge basis adjustment, and other cost basis adjustments ( 105,570 ) — ( 105,570 ) 26,590 — 26,590 Total loans 8,490,310 888,200 9,378,510 8,314,096 948,623 9,262,719 Allowance for losses ( 13,110 ) ( 460 ) ( 13,570 ) ( 13,477 ) ( 564 ) ( 14,041 ) Total loans, net of allowance $ 8,477,200 $ 887,740 $ 9,364,940 $ 8,300,619 $ 948,059 $ 9,248,678 (1) Unpaid principal balance is the basis of presentation in disclosures of outstanding balances for Farmer Mac's lines of business. 24 Allowance for Losses The following table is a summary, by asset type, of the allowance for losses as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021: Table 5.2 March 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 Allowance for Losses Allowance for Losses (in thousands) Loans: Agricultural Finance mortgage loans $ 3,948 $ 3,442 Rural Infrastructure Finance loans 9,622 10,599 Total $ 13,570 $ 14,041 The following is a summary of the changes in the allowance for losses for the three month period ended March 31, 2022 and 2021: Table 5.3 For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 March 31, 2021 Allowance for Losses Allowance for Losses (in thousands) Agricultural Finance mortgage loans Beginning Balance $ 3,442 $ 3,745 Provision for/(release of) losses 590 ( 27 ) Charge-offs ( 84 ) — Ending Balance (1) $ 3,948 $ 3,718 Rural Infrastructure Finance loans Beginning Balance $ 10,599 $ 10,087 (Release of)/provision for losses ( 977 ) 1,002 Charge-offs — — Ending Balance (2) $ 9,622 $ 11,089 (1) As of both March 31, 2022 and 2021, allowance for losses for Agricultural Finance mortgage loans includes no allowance for collateral dependent assets secured by agricultural real estate. (2) As of both March 31, 2022 and 2021, allowance for losses for Rural Infrastructure Finance loans includes no allowance for collateral dependent assets. The net release from the allowance for Rural Infrastructure Finance loan losses of $ 1.0 million recorded during first quarter 2022 was primarily attributable to a risk rating upgrade on a single loan related to the borrower's successful securitization of a large payable incurred as a result of the arctic freeze that struck Texas in February 2021, and was partially offset by new loan volume. The $ 0.6 million net provision to the allowance for the Agricultural Finance mortgage loan portfolio during first quarter 2022 was primarily attributable to a risk rating downgrade on a single agricultural storage and processing loan. The provision to the allowance for Rural Infrastructure Finance loan losses of $ 1.0 million recorded during first quarter 2021 was primarily attributable to the impact of ratings downgrades on multiple rural utilities that were negatively impacted by the arctic freeze that struck Texas in February 2021. The small release from the allowance for the Farm & Ranch portfolio during first quarter 2021 was primarily 25 attributable to ratings upgrades and updated loss-given-default assumptions, offset by net growth in our loan portfolio.

Authority to Borrow from the U.S. Treasury Farmer Mac's statutory charter authorizes it, upon satisfying certain conditions, to borrow up to $ 1.5 billion from the U.S. Treasury through the issuance of debt obligations to the U.S. Treasury. Any funds borrowed from the U.S. Treasury may be used solely to fulfill Farmer Mac's guarantee obligations. Any debt obligations issued by Farmer Mac under this authority would bear interest at a rate determined by the U.S. Treasury, taking into consideration the average rate on outstanding marketable obligations of the United States as of the last day of the last calendar month ending before the date of the purchase of the obligations from Farmer Mac. The charter requires Farmer Mac to repurchase any of its debt obligations held by the U.S. Treasury within a reasonable time. As of March 31, 2022, Farmer Mac had not used this borrowing authority. Gains on Repurchase of Outstanding Debt No outstanding debt repurchases were made in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. 8. EQUITY Common Stock During first quarter 2022, Farmer Mac paid a quarterly dividend of $ 0.95 per share on all classes of its common stock. For each quarter in 2021, Farmer Mac paid a quarterly dividend of $ 0.88 per share on all classes of its common stock. Farmer Mac's board of directors approved a share repurchase program during third quarter 2015 authorizing Farmer Mac to repurchase up to $ 25.0 million of its outstanding Class C non-voting common stock. The share repurchase program, last modified on March 14, 2019, authorized Farmer Mac to 37 repurchase up to $ 10.0 million of Farmer Mac's outstanding Class C non-voting common stock. During first quarter 2020, Farmer Mac repurchased approximately 4,000 shares of Class C non-voting common stock at a cost of approximately $ 0.2 million. Shortly after these repurchases were completed, Farmer Mac indefinitely suspended its share repurchase program in an effort to preserve capital and liquidity in view of market volatility and uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In March 2021, Farmer Mac's board of directors reinstated the share repurchase program on its previous terms (with a remaining authorization of up to $ 9.8 million in stock repurchases) and extended the expiration date of the program to March 2023. Farmer Mac did no t repurchase any shares of its Class C non-voting common stock during the first three months of 2022. As of March 31, 2022, Farmer Mac had repurchased approximately 673,000 shares of Class C non-voting common stock at a cost of approximately $ 19.8 million under the share repurchase program since 2015. Capital Requirements Farmer Mac is required to comply with the higher of the minimum capital requirement and the risk-based capital requirement. As of both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the minimum capital requirement was greater than the risk-based capital requirement. Farmer Mac's ability to declare and pay dividends could be restricted if it fails to comply with applicable capital requirements. As of March 31, 2022, Farmer Mac's minimum capital requirement was $ 743.8 million and its core capital level was $ 1.2 billion, which was $ 488.7 million above the minimum capital requirement as of that date. As of December 31, 2021, Farmer Mac's minimum capital requirement was $ 713.8 million and its core capital level was $ 1.2 billion, which was $ 486.8 million above the minimum capital requirement as of that date. In accordance with the Farm Credit Administration's rule on Farmer Mac's capital planning, and as part of Farmer Mac's capital plan, Farmer Mac has adopted a policy for maintaining a sufficient level of Tier 1 capital (consisting of retained earnings, paid-in-capital, common stock, and qualifying preferred stock) and imposing restrictions on Tier 1-eligible dividends and any discretionary bonus payments in the event that this capital falls below specified thresholds. 38 9.

Typically, significant increases (decreases) in this input in isolation may result in materially lower (higher) fair value measurements. Generally, in a rising interest rate environment, Farmer Mac would expect average discount rates to increase. Conversely, in a declining interest rate environment, Farmer Mac would expect average discount rates to decrease. Prepayment rates are not presented in the table above for AgVantage 43 securities because they generally have fixed maturity dates when the secured general obligations are due and do not prepay. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements of USDA Securities are the prepayment rate and discount rate commensurate with the risks involved. Typically, significant increases (decreases) in any of these inputs in isolation may result in materially lower (higher) fair value measurements. Generally, in a rising interest rate environment, Farmer Mac would expect average discount rates to increase and would likely expect a corresponding decrease in forecasted prepayment rates. Conversely, in a declining interest rate environment, Farmer Mac would expect average discount rates to decrease and would likely expect a corresponding increase in forecasted prepayment rates. Disclosures on Fair Value of Financial Instruments The following table sets forth the estimated fair values and carrying values for financial assets, liabilities, and guarantees and commitments as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021: Table 9.4 As of March 31, 2022 As of December 31, 2021 Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount (in thousands) Financial assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 890,046 $ 890,046 $ 908,785 $ 908,785 Investment securities 4,241,418 4,241,788 3,884,202 3,882,590 Farmer Mac Guaranteed Securities 8,476,067 8,506,464 8,360,293 8,361,798 USDA Securities 2,395,117 2,439,489 2,536,473 2,440,732 Loans 9,429,186 9,364,940 9,814,642 9,248,678 Financial derivatives 26,329 26,329 19,139 19,139 Guarantee and commitment fees receivable 43,279 45,021 42,533 45,538 Financial liabilities: Notes payable 22,596,306 23,039,967 22,716,791 22,716,156 Debt securities of consolidated trusts held by third parties 890,823 895,145 1,005,306 981,379 Financial derivatives 105,574 105,574 34,248 34,248 Guarantee and commitment obligations 41,542 43,285 40,920 43,926 The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents is a reasonable estimate of their approximate fair value and is classified as Level 1. The fair value of investments in U.S. Treasuries are valued based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and are classified as Level 1. A significant portion of Farmer Mac's investment portfolio is valued using a reputable nationally recognized third-party pricing service. The prices obtained are non-binding and generally representative of recent market trades and are classified as Level 2. Farmer Mac internally models the fair value of its loan portfolio, including loans held for investment and loans held for investment in consolidated trusts, Farmer Mac Guaranteed Securities, and USDA Securities by discounting the projected cash flows of these instruments at projected interest rates. The fair values are based on the present value of expected cash flows using management's best estimate of certain key assumptions, which include prepayment speeds, forward yield curves and discount rates commensurate with the risks involved. These fair value measurements do not take into consideration the fair value of the underlying property and are classified as Level 3. Financial derivatives primarily are valued using unadjusted counterparty valuations and are classified as Level 2. The fair value of the 44 guarantee fees receivable/obligation and debt securities of consolidated trusts are estimated based on the present value of expected future cash flows of the underlying mortgage assets using management's best estimate of certain key assumptions, which include prepayments speeds, forward yield curves, and discount rates commensurate with the risks involved and are classified as Level 3. Notes payable are valued by discounting the expected cash flows of these instruments using a yield curve derived from market prices observed for similar agency securities and are also classified as Level 3. Because the cash flows of Farmer Mac's financial instruments may be interest rate path dependent, estimated fair values and projected discount rates for Level 3 financial instruments are derived using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Different market assumptions and estimation methodologies could significantly affect estimated fair value amounts. 10. BUSINESS SEGMENT REPORTING The following table presents the alignment of the Farmer Mac's seven segments: Agricultural Finance Rural Infrastructure Finance Treasury Farm & Ranch Corporate AgFinance Rural Utilities Renewable Energy Funding Investments Corporate The financial information presented below reflects the accounts of Farmer Mac and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. Accordingly, the core earnings for Farmer Mac's segments would differ from any stand-alone financial statements of Farmer Mac's subsidiaries.

The following tables present core earnings for Farmer Mac's segments and a reconciliation to consolidated net income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2021 have been revised to conform to the current year's segment alignment. 45 Table 10.1 Core Earnings by Business Segment For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 Agricultural Finance Rural Infrastructure Treasury Corporate Farm & Ranch Corporate AgFinance Rural Utilities Renewable Energy Funding Investments Reconciling Adjustments Consolidated Net Income (in thousands) Net interest income $ 31,354 $ 7,209 $ 3,193 $ 375 $ 19,740 $ 4 $ — $ — $ 61,875 Less: reconciling adjustments (1)(2)(3) ( 1,000 ) — ( 34 ) — ( 3,002 ) — — 4,036 — Net effective spread 30,354 7,209 3,159 375 16,738 4 — 4,036 — Guarantee and commitment fees 4,216 19 286 36 — — — ( 862 ) 3,695 Other income/(expense) (3) 400 114 — — — — — 16,172 16,686 Total revenues 34,970 7,342 3,445 411 16,738 4 — 19,346 82,256 (Provision for)/release of losses ( 510 ) ( 515 ) 1,169 ( 202 ) — 2 — — ( 56 ) Release of reserve for losses 75 — 35 — — — — — 110 Operating expenses — — — — — — ( 21,388 ) — ( 21,388 ) Total non-interest expense 75 — 35 — — — ( 21,388 ) — ( 21,278 ) Core earnings before income taxes 34,535 6,827 4,649 209 16,738 6 ( 21,388 ) 19,346 (4) 60,922 Income tax (expense)/benefit ( 7,252 ) ( 1,434 ) ( 976 ) ( 44 ) ( 3,515 ) ( 1 ) 4,198 ( 4,061 ) ( 13,085 ) Core earnings before preferred stock dividends 27,283 5,393 3,673 165 13,223 5 ( 17,190 ) 15,285 (4) 47,837 Preferred stock dividends — — — — — — ( 6,791 ) — ( 6,791 ) Segment core earnings/(losses) $ 27,283 $ 5,393 $ 3,673 $ 165 $ 13,223 $ 5 $ ( 23,981 ) $ 15,285 (4) $ 41,046 Total Assets $ 13,610,138 $ 1,491,127 $ 5,480,668 $ 92,132 $ — $ 4,995,154 $ 120,195 $ — 25,789,414 Total on- and off-balance sheet program assets at principal balance $ 16,575,595 $ 1,540,760 $ 6,006,446 $ 120,609 $ — $ — $ — $ — 24,243,410 (1) Includes the amortization of premiums and discounts on assets consolidated at fair value, originally included in interest income, to reflect core earnings amounts.
