FEDERAL AGRICULTURAL MORTGAGE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. 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, as revised. 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Farmer Mac has revised its prior period financial information to correct an error that was not material to those previous consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole. For more information on the revision, refer to Note 11, Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements.
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.

(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. Farmer Mac is exploring the adoption of additional optional expedients, including contract modification relief, and is not expected to 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.

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 September 30, 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 September 30, 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 September 30, 2022 that is, on average, approximately 94.0 % 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 September 30, 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.

The unrealized losses presented above are principally due to changes in interest rates from the date of acquisition to September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, as applicable. The unrealized losses on the held-to-maturity USDA Securities as of both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 reflect their increased cost basis resulting from their transfer to held-to-maturity as of October 1, 2016.
The credit exposure related to Farmer Mac's USDA Securities in the Agricultural Finance line of business is covered by the full faith and credit guarantee of the United States of America.
The unrealized losses from AgVantage securities were on 97 and 13 available-for-sale securities as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. There were 44 and 10 held-to-maturity AgVantage securities with an unrealized loss as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, 9 and 2 available-for-sale AgVantage securities, respectively, had been in a loss position for more than 12 months. As of September 30, 2022, there were 4 held-to-maturity AgVantage securities in a loss position for more than 12 months. As of December 31, 2021, there were no held-to-maturity AgVantage securities in a loss position for more than 12 months.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, Farmer Mac had no sales of AgVantage Farmer Mac Guaranteed Securities, USDA Farmer Mac Guaranteed Securities or USDA Trading Securities and, therefore, Farmer Mac realized no gains or losses.

As of September 30, 2022, Farmer Mac expects to reclassify $ 12.9 million after-tax from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings over the next twelve months related to cash flow hedges. This amount could differ from amounts actually recognized due to changes in interest rates, hedge de-designations, and the addition of other hedges after September 30, 2022. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 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 originally forecasted transactions would occur.

Farmer Mac records posted cash as a reduction in the outstanding balance of cash and cash equivalents and an increase in the balance of prepaid expenses and other assets. Any investment securities posted as collateral are included in the investment securities balances on the consolidated balance sheets. If Farmer Mac had breached certain provisions of the derivative contracts as of September 30, 2022 or December 31, 2021, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements, but would not have been required to post additional collateral. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no financial derivatives in a net payable position where Farmer Mac was required to pledge collateral which the counterparty had the right to sell or repledge.
Of Farmer Mac's $ 22.4 billion notional amount of interest rate swaps outstanding as of September 30, 2022, $ 18.5 billion were cleared through the swap clearinghouse, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange ("CME"). Of Farmer Mac's $ 17.5 billion notional amount of interest rate swaps outstanding as of December 31, 2021, $ 14.9 billion were cleared through the CME. During the first nine months of 2022 and throughout 2021, Farmer Mac continued the use of non-cleared basis swaps to prepare for the transition away from the use of LIBOR as a reference rate.
5. 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 both September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Farmer Mac had no loans held for sale, respectively. Farmer Mac did not record any lower of cost or fair value adjustments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.
The following table includes loans held for investment and displays the composition of the loan balances as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

(1) As of September 30, 2022 and 2021, allowance for losses for Agricultural Finance mortgage loans includes $ 1.7 million and $ 1.8 million allowance for collateral dependent assets secured by agricultural real estate, respectively.
(2) As of both September 30, 2022 and 2021, allowance for losses for Rural Infrastructure Finance loans includes no allowance for collateral dependent assets.
The net provision to the allowance for Rural Infrastructure Finance loan losses of $ 0.4 million recorded during third quarter 2022 was primarily attributable to net new loan volume. The $ 0.2 million net provision to the allowance for the Agricultural Finance mortgage loan portfolio during third quarter 2022 was primarily attributable to the deterioration of a single agricultural storage and processing loan.
32
The $ 1.8 million net release from the allowance for the Rural Infrastructure Finance portfolio for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to improvements in forecasts of future economic conditions, and a first quarter risk rating upgrade on a single loan. The risk rating upgrade on that loan reflected that borrower's successful securitization of its large payable that arose during the arctic freeze that struck Texas in February 2021. The $ 0.8 million net provision to the allowance for the Agricultural Finance mortgage loan portfolio for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to a risk rating downgrade on a single agricultural storage and processing loan.
The release from the allowance for Rural Infrastructure Finance loan losses of $ 0.1 million recorded during third quarter 2021 was primarily attributable to the impact of improving economic factor forecasts. The $ 0.4 million provision to the allowance for the Agricultural Finance mortgage loan portfolio during third quarter 2021 was primarily attributable to a decline in the economic factor forecast for commodity prices in Farmer Mac's fruit and nuts portfolio.
The net provision recorded to the allowance for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily
a result of the impact of the Texas Arctic Freeze on the Rural Infrastructure Finance portfolio, partially offset by improving economic factor forecasts. The net release from the allowance for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily a result of improving agricultural commodity prices on the Agricultural Finance mortgage loan portfolio in the first half of the year, partially offset by declines in the third quarter.

Eligible loans and other eligible assets may be placed into trusts that are used as vehicles for the securitization of the transferred assets and the Farmer Mac-guaranteed beneficial interests in the trusts are sold to investors. During third quarter 2022, Farmer Mac executed a structured securitization transaction, whereby it sold and securitized agricultural mortgage loans resulting in $ 297.7 million of Farmer Mac Guaranteed Securities.

Farmer Mac does not consider these trust fund assets to be available to satisfy the claims of the creditors of Farmer Mac and/or the depositor. The following table summarizes the significant cash flows received from and paid to trusts used for Farmer Mac securitizations:

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 significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurements of AgVantage Farmer Mac Guaranteed Securities is the discount rate commensurate with the risks involved. 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

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.

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
55
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. These differences would be due to various factors, including the exclusion of unrealized gains and losses related to fair value changes of trading assets and financial derivatives, as well as the allocation of certain expenses such as operating expenses, dividends and interest expense related to the issuance of capital and the issuance of indebtedness managed at the corporate level.
The following tables present core earnings for Farmer Mac's segments and a reconciliation to consolidated net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. The amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 have been revised to conform to the current year's segment alignment.

11. REVISION OF PRIOR PERIOD FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
60
Farmer Mac revised certain prior period financial statements to correct an error related to the recognition of accrual of interest for derivative contracts cleared through the swap clearinghouse, the CME. Farmer Mac determined that the error was immaterial to these previous consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole. Although Farmer Mac has concluded these errors are immaterial to the previously issued consolidated financial statements, Farmer Mac has corrected this error by revising the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Farmer Mac will also correct previously reported financial information for such immaterial errors in future filings, as applicable. The following tables summarize the effect of the revision on each financial statement line item:
