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, 2023 consolidated balance sheet presented in this report has been derived
from Farmer Mac's audited 2023 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 2023 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, 2023, as filed with the SEC
on February 23, 2024. 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, 2024.
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 unit awards. The following schedule reconciles basic and diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, contingent shares of unvested restricted stock units of 29,918 and 32,282 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.

(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.

ASU 2023-02 , Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Accounting for Investments in Tax Credit Structures Using the Proportional Amortization Method
The amendments in this Update permit an entity to elect to account for their tax equity investments using the proportional amortization method if certain conditions are met, regardless of the tax credit program from which the income tax credits are received.
January 1, 2024 The adoption of this Update did not have a material effect on Farmer Mac's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
Recently Issued Accounting Guidance, Not Yet Adopted Within Our Consolidated Financial Statements
Standard
Description
Effect on Consolidated Financial Statements
ASU 2023-07 , Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures
The amendments in this Update require disclosures, on an annual and interim basis, of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), as well as the aggregate amount of other segment items included in the reported measure of segment profit or loss. This Update also requires that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss. Public entities will be required to provide all annual disclosures currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments should be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted.
Farmer Mac is still assessing the effect on our annual consolidated financial statement disclosures, however, adoption is not expected to have a material impact on Farmer Mac's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
ASU 2023-09 , Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
The Update provides guidance on improvements to annual income tax disclosures by requiring (1) consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and (2) income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. Additionally, public entities must provide a separate disclosure for any reconciling item that meets a quantitative threshold. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted.
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 impact 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 June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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, 2024 that is, on average, approximately 94.2 % of their amortized cost basis. Farmer Mac believes that all of these
16
unrealized losses are recoverable within a reasonable period of time by way of maturity, changes in credit spread, or 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, 2024 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.

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 futures contracts involving U.S. Treasury securities. 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.
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 $ 17.8 million and $ 16.4 million of accrued interest receivable and $ 5.8 million and $ 6.5 million of accrued interest payable on uncleared swaps as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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, 2024, Farmer Mac expects to reclassify $ 14.3 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, 2024. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, 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.

(1) As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, the allowance for losses for Agricultural Finance Farm & Ranch loans includes $ 1.2 million and $ 1.1 million allowance for collateral dependent assets secured by agricultural real estate, respectively.
(2) As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, the allowance for losses for Agricultural Finance Corporate AgFinance loans includes $ 0.0 million and $ 4.6 million allowance for collateral dependent assets secured by agricultural real estate, respectively.
(3) As of both June 30, 2024 and 2023, the allowance for losses for Rural Infrastructure Finance loans includes no allowance for collateral dependent assets.
The $ 0.6 million net provision to the allowance for the Rural Infrastructure Finance portfolio during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to renewable energy loans that extended their pre-construction phase, which has higher expected loss assumptions than their operating phase. The $ 5.6 million net provision to the allowance for the Agricultural Finance mortgage loan portfolio during the quarter ended June 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to a permanent planting loan that is in bankruptcy and of which $ 3.9 million was deemed uncollectible. Accordingly, a charge-off in the amount of $ 3.9 million was recorded in connection with that loan. The remaining provision during the quarter was attributable to increased loan volume.
The $ 1.3 million net release from the allowance for the Rural Infrastructure Finance portfolio during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to a single telecommunications loan that completed a restructuring during first quarter, which resulted in an improved collateral position and a paydown of approximately 15 % of its previously unpaid principal balance. The $ 5.8 million net provision to the allowance for the Agricultural Finance mortgage loan portfolio during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to the permanent planting loan mentioned above and increased loan volume.
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
30
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.

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. CPR are not presented in the table above for AgVantage securities
49
because they generally have fixed maturity dates when the secured general obligations are due and do not prepay.

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 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,
50
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 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, 2024 and 2023.
