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, 2024 consolidated balance sheet presented in this report has been derived from Farmer Mac's audited 2024 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 2024 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, 2024, as filed with the SEC on February 21, 2025. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those that may be expected for the fiscal year.
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, which operated substantially all of the business related to the USDA Securities included in the Agricultural Finance line of business from 2010 through 2023 and continues to hold a "run-off" portfolio of USDA Securities. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

(c) New Accounting Standards
Recently Issued Accounting Guidance, Not Yet Adopted Within Our Consolidated Financial Statements
Standard
Description
Effect on Consolidated Financial Statements
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 either a prospective or retrospective 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.
ASU 2024-03 , Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, requiring public entities to disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption 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.
ASU 2025-06 , Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software
The Update amends certain aspects of the accounting for and disclosure of software costs under ASC 350-40. It removes all references to "development stages" and establishes new criteria to be met for the entity to begin capitalizing software costs. New guidance is then given for how to evaluate whether the probable-to-complete recognition threshold has been met. ASU 2025-06 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption 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 no t sell any securities from its available-for-sale or held-to-maturity investment portfolios during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. 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 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.
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, unrealized losses on available-for-sale investment securities were as follows:

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, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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 GSE, or had credit ratings of at least "AAA."
Securities in unrealized loss positions for 12 months or longer have a fair value as of September 30, 2025 that is, on average, approximately 96.1 % 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, 2025 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., Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("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.
23
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 $ 23.1 million and $ 15.8 million of accrued interest receivable and $ 3.7 million and $ 4.9 million of accrued interest payable on uncleared swaps as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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, 2025, Farmer Mac expects to reclassify $ 7.2 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, 2025.

(1) Any over-collateralization at an individual clearing agent and/or counterparty level is not included in the determination of the net amount. As of December 31, 2024, Farmer Mac had additional net exposure of $ 209.0 million due to instances where Farmer Mac's collateral to a counterparty exceeded the net derivative position and $ 4.7 million due to instances where Farmer Mac's collateral from 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, 2025 or December 31, 2024, 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, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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 $ 24.6 billion notional amount of interest rate swaps outstanding as of September 30, 2025, $ 19.0 billion were cleared through the swap clearinghouse, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange ("CME"). Of Farmer Mac's $ 24.9 billion notional amount of interest rate swaps outstanding as of December 31, 2024, $ 19.1 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.
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 September 30, 2025 and 2024, the allowance for losses for Agricultural Finance Farm & Ranch loans includes $ 2.3 million and $ 1.2 million allowance for collateral dependent assets secured by agricultural real estate, respectively.
(2) As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, the allowance for losses for Agricultural Finance Corporate AgFinance loans includes $ 1.0 million and $ 1.1 million allowance for collateral dependent assets secured by agricultural real estate, respectively.
(3) As of both September 30, 2025 and 2024, the allowance for losses for Infrastructure Finance loans includes no allowance for collateral dependent assets.
The $ 6.9 million net provision to the allowance for the Agricultural Finance mortgage loan portfolio during the quarter ended September 30, 2025 consisted of:
• $ 3.3 million related to estimated decreases in land values of specific properties affected by ground water issues in California;
• $ 4.9 million related to increased loss estimates on certain agricultural storage and processing substandard loans; and
• $ 1.0 million related to increases in loan volume.
These increases to the provision were partially offset by recoveries of $ 2.2 million related to permanent planting loans that were previously charged off.
During third quarter 2025, we charged off $ 4.4 million attributable to the amount that we deemed uncollectible related to three borrowers.
The $ 0.7 million net provision to the allowance for the Infrastructure Finance portfolio during the quarter ended September 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to net volume growth and a credit downgrade on a single borrower within Broadband Infrastructure, partially offset by improved economic forecasts.
The $ 12.7 million net provision to the allowance for the Agricultural Finance mortgage loan portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to the factors noted above, along with credit downgrades and net volume growth.
33
The $ 4.4 million net provision to the allowance for the Infrastructure Finance portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to net volume growth and credit downgrades.
The $ 1.5 million net provision to the allowance for the Infrastructure Finance portfolio during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to net volume growth. The $ 1.9 million net provision to the allowance for the Agricultural Finance mortgage loan portfolio during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to risk rating downgrades.
The $ 0.2 million net provision to the allowance for the Infrastructure Finance portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to net volume growth. The $ 7.8 million net provision to the allowance for the Agricultural Finance mortgage loan portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to credit downgrades related to two permanent planting borrower relationships and other risk rating downgrades.

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
40
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 September 30, 2025, Farmer Mac had not used this borrowing authority.
8. EQUITY
Common Stock
During each of the first, second, and third quarters 2025, Farmer Mac paid a quarterly dividend of $ 1.50 per share on all classes of its common stock. For each quarter in 2024, Farmer Mac paid a quarterly dividend of $ 1.40 per share on all classes of its common stock.
Preferred Stock
In August 2025, Farmer Mac issued 4.0 million shares of 6.500 % non-cumulative perpetual Series H preferred stock, par value $ 25.00 per share.

The dividend rate on the Series H preferred stock will remain at a non-cumulative, fixed rate of 6.500 % per year, when, as, and if a dividend is declared by the Board of Directors of Farmer Mac, for so long as the Series H preferred stock remains outstanding. The Series H preferred stock has no maturity date, but Farmer Mac has the option to redeem the preferred stock at any time on any dividend payment date on and after October 17, 2030.
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 September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, 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 September 30, 2025, Farmer Mac's minimum capital requirement was $ 969.1 million and its core capital level was $ 1.7 billion, which was $ 723.4 million above the minimum capital requirement as of that date. As of December 31, 2024, Farmer Mac's minimum capital requirement was $ 917.6 million and its core capital level was $ 1.5 billion, which was $ 583.5 million above the minimum capital requirement as of that date.
In accordance with a rule of the Farm Credit Administration ("FCA") 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.

The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurements of AgVantage 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 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, estimated fair values and projected discount rates for Level 3 financial instruments are derived using a
48
Monte Carlo simulation model. Different market assumptions and estimation methodologies could significantly affect estimated fair value amounts.
10. BUSINESS SEGMENT REPORTING
Farmer Mac has seven reportable segments: Farm & Ranch, Corporate AgFinance, Power & Utilities, Broadband Infrastructure, Renewable Energy, Funding, and Investments.
The Farm & Ranch segment includes the financial results of the USDA Securities portfolio, Farm & Ranch loans, and AgVantage securities secured by Farm & Ranch loans. The Corporate AgFinance segment includes loans and AgVantage securities to larger and more complex farming operations, agribusinesses focused on food and fiber processing, and other supply chain production.
The Power & Utilities segment includes loans to rural electric generation and transmission cooperatives and distribution cooperatives, as well as AgVantage securities secured by those types of loans. The Broadband Infrastructure segment includes loans to rural fiber, cable/broadband, tower, wireless, local exchange carrier, and data center projects. The Renewable Energy segment includes rural electric solar, wind, and gas projects.
The Funding segment includes the financial results of Farmer Mac's debt issuance, hedging, asset/liability management, and capital allocation strategies. Farmer Mac allocates interest expense to each of the other segments using a funds transfer pricing process. The Funding segment reflects the benefits and costs from Farmer Mac's funding and hedging strategies.
The Investments segment includes the financial results of Farmer Mac's investment portfolio, which is held for liquidity purposes. Interest expense is allocated to the Investments segment using the same funds transfer pricing process that is used to allocate interest expense to the other segments.
The following table presents Farmer Mac's seven segments:
Agricultural Finance Infrastructure Finance Treasury
Farm & Ranch Corporate AgFinance Power & Utilities Broadband Infrastructure Renewable Energy Funding Investments
The Chief Executive Officer serves as the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"). The CODM reviews segment core earnings to make decisions about allocating resources and to assess the financial performance of the segments. The main difference between core earnings and net income is the exclusion of the effects of fair value fluctuations. These fluctuations are not expected to have a cumulative net impact on Farmer Mac's financial condition or results of operations reported in accordance with GAAP if the related financial instruments are held to maturity, as is expected. Another difference is that core earnings excludes specified infrequent or unusual transactions that are not indicative of future operating results and that may not reflect the trends and economic financial performance of Farmer Mac's core business. The CODM also looks at changes in the segments' on- and off-balance sheet unpaid paid principal balances to assess the performance of the segments.
