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, 2022 consolidated balance sheet presented in this report has been derived
from Farmer Mac's audited 2022 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 2022 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, 2022, as filed with the SEC
on February 24, 2023. 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 six months ended June 30, 2023.
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.

(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 and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:

(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 During the period, Farmer Mac adopted optional expedients including those relating to qualifying hedging relationships and contract modification relief, and as of June 30, 2023, has no further variable-rate exposure to LIBOR. To date, these elections did not have a material effect on Farmer Mac's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Farmer Mac does not expect to elect further expedients through the ending date of December 31, 2024.
ASU 2022-06 , Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848
The amendments in this Update deferred the sunset date in Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. December 21, 2022 Farmer Mac does not expect to elect further expedients through the ending date of December 31, 2024.
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 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 write offs for financing receivables and net investment in leases by year of origination in the vintage disclosures.
January 1, 2023 The adoption of this Update did not have a material effect on Farmer Mac's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
ASU 2022-01 , Fair Value Hedging - Portfolio Layer Method
The Update introduces the portfolio layer method, which expands the current single-layer method to allow multiple hedged layers of a single closed portfolio under the method (previously named, last-of-layer method). Additionally, it expands the scope of the portfolio layer method to include non-prepayable assets, specifies eligible hedging instruments in a single-layer hedge, provides additional guidance on the accounting for and disclosure of hedge basis adjustments under the portfolio layer method, specifies how hedge basis adjustments should be considered when determining credit losses for the assets included in the closed portfolio, and provides that an entity may reclassify HTM debt securities identified within 30 days of the date of adoption to AFS if the entity applies portfolio layer method hedging to those debt securities. January 1, 2023 Farmer Mac adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2023. Farmer Mac does not currently hedge interest rate risk for portfolios of financial assets, so adoption of this guidance had no effect on Farmer Mac's financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, or disclosures given current strategies.

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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, all of the investment securities in an unrealized loss position either were backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, a U.S. government sponsored enterprise, or had credit ratings of at least "AA+."
Securities in unrealized loss positions for 12 months or longer have a fair value as of June 30, 2023 that is, on average, approximately 94.3 % 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, changes in credit spread, and changes in levels of interest rates.
The amortized cost, fair value, and weighted-average yield of available-for-sale investment securities by remaining contractual maturity as of June 30, 2023 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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, as applicable.
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 106 and 95 available-for-sale securities as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. There were 32 and 37 held-to-maturity AgVantage securities with an unrealized loss as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 57 and 13 available-for-sale AgVantage securities, respectively, had been in a loss position for more than 12 months. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were 22 and 4 held-to-maturity AgVantage securities, respectively, in a loss position for more than 12 months.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 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.

4. FINANCIAL DERIVATIVES
Farmer Mac enters into financial derivative transactions to protect against risk from the effects of market price, or interest rate movements, on the value of certain assets, future cash flows, or debt issuance, and not for trading or speculative purposes. Certain financial derivatives are designated as fair value hedges of
fixed rate assets, classified as available-for-sale, to protect against fair value changes in the assets related
to changes in a benchmark interest rate (e.g., SOFR). Certain other financial derivatives are
designated as cash flow hedges to mitigate the volatility of future interest rate payments on floating rate
debt. Certain financial derivatives are not designated in hedge accounting relationships.
Farmer Mac manages the interest rate risk related to loans it has committed to acquire, but has not yet
permanently funded, primarily through the use of forward sale contracts on the debt of other GSEs and
futures contracts involving U.S. Treasury securities. Farmer Mac uses forward sale contracts on GSE
securities to reduce its interest rate exposure to changes in both U.S. Treasury rates and spreads on Farmer
Mac debt. Farmer Mac aims to achieve a duration-matched hedge ratio between the hedged item and the
hedge instrument. Gains or losses generated by these hedge transactions are expected to offset changes in
funding costs. All financial derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value as a freestanding
asset or liability.
22
The following tables summarize information related to Farmer Mac's financial derivatives on a gross basis without giving consideration to master netting arrangements. The table below includes accrued interest on cleared swaps, but excludes $ 9.4 million and $ 6.1 million of accrued interest receivable and $ 5.4 million and $ 3.6 million of accrued interest payable on uncleared swaps as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The aforementioned accrued interest on uncleared swaps is included within Accrued Interest Receivable and Accrued Interest Payable on the consolidated balance sheets.

As of June 30, 2023, Farmer Mac expects to reclassify $ 16.6 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 June 30, 2023. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, 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 June 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements, but would not have been required to post additional collateral. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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 $ 25.3 billion notional amount of interest rate swaps outstanding as of June 30, 2023, $ 20.2 billion were cleared through the swap clearinghouse, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange ("CME"). Of Farmer Mac's $ 23.9 billion notional amount of interest rate swaps outstanding as of December 31, 2022, $ 19.5 billion were cleared through the CME. During 2023 and throughout 2022, 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, which was completed as of the end of the quarter.
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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Farmer Mac had no loans held for sale.
Under the Agricultural Finance line of business, Farmer Mac has two segments – Farm & Ranch and Corporate AgFinance. The segments are characterized by similarities in risk attributes and the manner in which Farmer Mac monitors and assesses credit risk.

(1) As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, allowance for losses for Agricultural Finance Farm & Ranch loans includes $ 1.1 million and no allowance for collateral dependent assets secured by agricultural real estate, respectively.
(2) As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, allowance for losses for Agricultural Finance Corporate AgFinance loans includes $ 4.6 million and $ 1.2 million allowance for collateral dependent assets secured by agricultural real estate, respectively.
(3) As of both June 30, 2023 and 2022, allowance for losses for Rural Infrastructure Finance loans includes no allowance for collateral dependent assets.
The $ 0.7 million net provision to the allowance for the Rural Infrastructure Finance portfolio during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to increased telecommunications loan volume. The $ 0.3 million net provision to the allowance for the Agricultural Finance mortgage loan portfolio during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to increased storage and processing loan volume.
The $ 2.9 million net release from the allowance for the Rural Infrastructure Finance portfolio during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to an updated estimate of expected losses based on newly available loss-given-default industry data. The $ 4.5 million net provision to the allowance for the Agricultural Finance mortgage loan portfolio during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to declining valuation of a single agricultural storage and processing loan, due to its ongoing bankruptcy proceedings, and an updated estimate of expected losses based on additional availability of loss-given-default industry data. See Note 12 ("Subsequent Event") to the consolidated financial statements for more information about this loan based on events that occurred after June 30, 2023.
The net release from the allowance for Rural Infrastructure Finance loan losses of $ 1.2 million recorded
during second quarter 2022 was primarily attributable to updated credit loss model forecast assumptions
and improvements in risk ratings. The $ 0.1 million net provision to the allowance for the Agricultural
Finance mortgage loan portfolio during second quarter 2022 was primarily attributable to a risk rating
downgrade on a single agricultural storage and processing loan.
The $ 2.2 million net release from the allowance for the Rural Infrastructure Finance portfolio for the six
months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to the updated credit loss model forecast
assumptions mentioned above and a first quarter risk rating upgrade on a single loan. The risk rating
32
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 $ 0.7 million net provision to the
allowance for the Agricultural Finance mortgage loan portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2022
was primarily attributable to a risk rating downgrade on a single agricultural storage and processing loan.

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
53
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 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 the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments (or
54
receipts) and the discounted expected variable cash receipts (or payments) and are classified as Level 2. The fair value of the 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 six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.

11. REVISION OF PRIOR PERIOD FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
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
59
for such immaterial errors in future filings, as applicable. The following tables summarize the effect of the revision on each financial statement line item:

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
As described above in Note 5, Farmer Mac had a single agricultural storage and processing loan that was subject to bankruptcy proceedings during second quarter 2023. On July 31, 2023, an entity purchased the assets and assumed the liabilities of the borrower on this loan, which ended the bankruptcy proceedings. Farmer Mac received proceeds from this bankruptcy sale in an amount that closely approximated the loan's amortized cost. Farmer Mac will release the entire allowance for loan loss attributable to this loan during third quarter 2023, which was approximately $ 4.6 million as of June 30, 2023.
