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 nine months ended September 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. 9 Table 1.1 Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities As of September 30, 2024 Agricultural Finance Treasury Total (in thousands) On-Balance Sheet: Consolidated VIEs: Loans held for investment in consolidated trusts, at amortized cost $ 1,718,440 $ — $ 1,718,440 Debt securities of consolidated trusts held by third parties (1)(2) 1,616,513 — 1,616,513 Unconsolidated VIEs: Farmer Mac Guaranteed Securities: Carrying value 57,951 — 57,951 Maximum exposure to loss (3) 57,502 — 57,502 Investment securities: Carrying value (4) — 4,289,450 4,289,450 Maximum exposure to loss (3)(4) — 4,423,837 4,423,837 Off-Balance Sheet: Unconsolidated VIEs: Farmer Mac Guaranteed Securities: Maximum exposure to loss (3)(5) 430,628 — 430,628 (1) Includes borrower remittances of $ 0.2 million.

(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 nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023: Table 1.2 For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2024 September 30, 2023 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 $ 42,312 10,883 $ 3.89 $ 51,345 10,839 $ 4.74 Effect of dilutive securities (1) SARs and restricted stock units — 83 ( 0.03 ) — 99 ( 0.05 ) Diluted EPS $ 42,312 10,966 $ 3.86 $ 51,345 10,938 $ 4.69 (1) For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, SARs and restricted stock units of 15,465 and 16,761 respectively, were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share of common stock because they were anti-dilutive.

(c) New Accounting Standards Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance Standard Description Date of Adoption Effect on Consolidated Financial Statements 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. 14 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 does not expect the adoption of this Update 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.

Farmer Mac did not sell any securities from its available-for-sale investment securities during the three months ended September 30, 2024. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Farmer Mac sold floating rate government/GSE guaranteed mortgage-backed securities for $ 115.2 million from its 16 available-for-sale investment portfolio, resulting in a gain of $ 1.1 million. These sales were done to rebalance the liquidity investment portfolio given the lower level of business volume activity while demonstrating that the portfolio provides strong contingent liquidity. Farmer Mac did no t sell any securities from its available-for-sale investment portfolio during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, unrealized losses on available-for-sale investment securities were as follows: Table 2.2 As of September 30, 2024 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 $ — $ — $ 19,478 $ ( 197 ) Floating rate Government/GSE guaranteed mortgage-backed securities 367,575 ( 514 ) 1,074,472 ( 16,690 ) Fixed rate Government/GSE guaranteed mortgage-backed securities 24,873 ( 42 ) 986,007 ( 85,012 ) Floating rate U.S. Treasuries — — — — Fixed rate U.S. Treasuries 193,727 ( 352 ) 84,016 ( 213 ) Total $ 586,175 $ ( 908 ) $ 2,163,973 $ ( 102,112 ) Number of securities in loss position 39 148 As of December 31, 2023 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 $ — $ — $ 19,082 $ ( 591 ) Floating rate Government/GSE guaranteed mortgage-backed securities 568,759 ( 4,395 ) 1,449,122 ( 25,254 ) Fixed rate Government/GSE guaranteed mortgage-backed securities 384,305 ( 4,262 ) 905,759 ( 113,562 ) Floating rate U.S. Treasuries 49,969 ( 15 ) — — Fixed rate U.S. Treasuries 140,435 ( 606 ) 237,192 ( 2,336 ) Total $ 1,143,468 $ ( 9,278 ) $ 2,611,155 $ ( 141,743 ) Number of securities in loss position 91 162 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, 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 September 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+." 17 Securities in unrealized loss positions for 12 months or longer have a fair value as of September 30, 2024 that is, on average, approximately 95.5 % 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, 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 September 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.

On July 1, 2023, Farmer Mac transferred $ 2.7 billion of AgVantage Securities from available-for-sale to held-to-maturity to reflect Farmer Mac's positive intent and ability to hold these securities until maturity or payoff. Farmer Mac transferred these securities at fair value as of the date of the transfer, which included a cost basis adjustment due to unrealized losses of $ 31.9 million. The accumulated unrealized losses were recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in the amount of $ 31.9 million. Both the cost basis adjustment and accumulated unrealized depreciation will be amortized as an adjustment to the yield on the held-to-maturity AgVantage Securities over the remaining term of the transferred securities. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, unrealized losses on held-to-maturity and available-for-sale on-balance sheet Farmer Mac Guaranteed Securities and USDA Securities were as follows: 19 Table 3.2 As of September 30, 2024 Held-to-Maturity and 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 (in thousands) Held-to-maturity: AgVantage $ 1,536,693 $ ( 5,100 ) $ 705,981 $ ( 18,187 ) Farmer Mac Guaranteed USDA Securities 28,467 ( 1,193 ) 8,378 ( 489 ) USDA Securities 7,569 ( 16 ) 2,099,685 ( 232,745 ) Total held-to-maturity $ 1,572,729 $ ( 6,309 ) $ 2,814,044 $ ( 251,421 ) Available-for-sale: AgVantage $ 199,910 $ ( 90 ) $ 3,853,189 $ ( 217,077 ) Total available-for-sale $ 199,910 $ ( 90 ) $ 3,853,189 $ ( 217,077 ) As of December 31, 2023 Held-to-Maturity and 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 (in thousands) Held-to-maturity: AgVantage $ 2,070,770 $ ( 6,705 ) $ 725,347 $ ( 32,746 ) Farmer Mac Guaranteed USDA Securities — — 8,393 ( 806 ) USDA Securities — — 2,023,801 ( 319,783 ) Total held-to-maturity $ 2,070,770 $ ( 6,705 ) $ 2,757,541 $ ( 353,335 ) Available-for-sale: AgVantage $ 508,182 $ ( 5,716 ) $ 4,043,431 $ ( 303,695 ) Total available-for-sale $ 508,182 $ ( 5,716 ) $ 4,043,431 $ ( 303,695 ) The unrealized losses presented above are principally due to changes in interest rates from the date of acquisition to September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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 58 and 68 available-for-sale securities as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. There were 48 and 53 held-to-maturity AgVantage securities with an unrealized loss as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 57 and 62 available-for-sale AgVantage securities had been in a loss position for more than 12 months, respectively. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 16 and 22 held-to-maturity AgVantage securities, respectively, in a loss position for more than 12 months. 20 During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 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. The amortized cost, fair value, and weighted-average yield of available-for-sale and held-to-maturity Farmer Mac Guaranteed Securities and USDA Securities by remaining contractual maturity as of September 30, 2024 are set forth below. The balances presented are based on their contractual maturities, although the actual maturities may differ due to prepayments of the underlying assets.

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 $ 19.5 million and $ 16.4 million of accrued interest receivable and $ 6.0 million and $ 6.5 million of accrued interest payable on uncleared swaps as of September 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 September 30, 2024, Farmer Mac expects to reclassify $ 9.5 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, 2024. During the three and nine months ended September 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. 23 The following tables summarize the net income/(expense) recognized in the consolidated statements of operations related to

As of December 31, 2023, Farmer Mac had additional net exposure of $ 207.2 million due to instances where Farmer Mac's collateral to a counterparty exceeded the net derivative position. 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, 2024 or December 31, 2023, 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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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 $ 25.4 billion notional amount of interest rate swaps outstanding as of September 30, 2024, $ 20.1 billion were cleared through the swap clearinghouse, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange ("CME"). Of Farmer Mac's $ 25.8 billion notional amount of interest rate swaps outstanding as of December 31, 2023, $ 20.5 billion were cleared through the CME. 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, 2024 and December 31, 2023, Farmer Mac had no loans held for sale.

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 51 because they generally have fixed maturity dates when the secured general obligations are due and do not prepay. 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 September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023: Table 9.4 As of September 30, 2024 As of December 31, 2023 Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount (in thousands) Financial assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 842,056 $ 842,056 $ 888,707 $ 888,707 Investment securities 5,896,066 5,895,793 4,981,249 4,979,504 Farmer Mac Guaranteed Securities 8,706,073 8,722,762 9,710,074 9,745,548 USDA Securities 2,112,084 2,344,715 2,036,046 2,355,412 Loans 11,974,136 12,367,333 10,426,021 11,039,349 Financial derivatives 49,197 49,197 37,478 37,478 Guarantee and commitment fees receivable 53,624 46,077 58,465 49,832 Financial liabilities: Notes payable 26,673,965 27,129,456 25,670,971 26,336,542 Debt securities of consolidated trusts held by third parties 1,607,791 1,616,513 1,268,563 1,351,069 Financial derivatives 64,351 64,351 117,131 117,131 Guarantee and commitment obligations 51,486 43,939 56,195 47,563 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, 52 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 nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. 53 Table 10.1 Core Earnings by Business Segment For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2024 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 $ 36,816 $ 6,397 $ 7,608 $ 3,810 $ 31,217 $ 943 $ — $ — $ 86,791 Less: reconciling adjustments (1)(2)(3) ( 1,061 ) — ( 29 ) — ( 305 ) — — 1,395 — Net effective spread 35,755 6,397 7,579 3,810 30,912 943 — 1,395 — Guarantee and commitment fees 4,304 168 338 187 — — — ( 982 ) 4,015 Gain on sale of investment securities — — — — — — — — — Loss on sale of mortgage loan — — — — — — — — — Other income/(expense) (3) 1,091 40 — — — 10 ( 8 ) ( 1,649 ) ( 516 ) Total revenues 41,150 6,605 7,917 3,997 30,912 953 ( 8 ) ( 1,236 ) 90,290 Provision for of losses ( 116 ) ( 1,779 ) ( 1,195 ) ( 337 ) — ( 1 ) — — ( 3,428 ) Release of reserve for losses 126 — 44 — — — — — 170 Operating expenses ( 196 ) — — — — — ( 24,587 ) — ( 24,783 ) Total non-interest expense ( 70 ) — 44 — — — ( 24,587 ) — ( 24,613 ) Core earnings before income taxes 40,964 4,826 6,766 3,660 30,912 952 ( 24,595 ) ( 1,236 ) (4) 62,249 Income tax (expense)/benefit ( 8,602 ) ( 1,013 ) ( 1,421 ) ( 768 ) ( 6,492 ) ( 201 ) 5,816 260 ( 12,421 ) Core earnings before preferred stock dividends 32,362 3,813 5,345 2,892 24,420 751 ( 18,779 ) ( 976 ) (4) 49,828 Preferred stock dividends — — — — — — ( 5,897 ) — ( 5,897 ) Loss on retirement of preferred stock — — — — — — — ( 1,619 ) ( 1,619 ) Segment core earnings/(losses) $ 32,362 $ 3,813 $ 5,345 $ 2,892 $ 24,420 $ 751 $ ( 24,676 ) $ ( 2,595 ) (4) $ 42,312 Total Assets $ 14,562,142 $ 1,662,687 $ 6,952,605 $ 985,435 $ — $ 6,389,160 $ 63,192 $ — $ 30,615,221 Total on- and off-balance sheet program assets at principal balance $ 18,090,374 $ 1,842,780 $ 7,440,141 $ 1,095,008 $ — $ — $ — $ — $ 28,468,303 (1) Includes the amortization of premiums and discounts on assets consolidated at fair value, originally included in interest income, to reflect core earnings amounts.
