CEO Comments
Luca Fabbri, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “We delivered a very strong financial performance in 2025, producing compelling AFFO per share, further pruning lesser performing and riskier assets at strong sale prices and fortifying and simplifying our balance sheet, eliminating the risk of a significant issuance of common shares at a dilutive stock price through the redemption of the remaining Series A preferred units in February 2026. Our operating results continue to reflect the strength and resilience of our portfolio and the quality of our tenants. Despite ongoing crop pricing pressures, our tenants remain among the strongest farm operators in the country. Farmland values also remain appealing, as evidenced by our continued ability to produce gains on asset dispositions. Looking ahead to 2026, we believe we are well positioned to continue delivering attractive risk-adjusted total returns through disciplined capital management, high-quality assets, and favorable long-term agricultural trends. As a result, we are raising our quarterly dividend by 50% to $0.09 per share.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company considers the following non-GAAP measures to be useful to investors as key supplemental measures of its performance: FFO, NOI, AFFO, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income or loss as a measure of the Company’s operating performance. FFO, NOI, AFFO, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, as calculated by the Company, may not be comparable to other companies that do not define such terms in exactly the same way as the Company.
FFO
The Company calculates FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or Nareit. Nareit defines FFO as net income (loss) (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, real estate related depreciation, depletion and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), impairment write-downs of depreciated property, and adjustments associated with impairment write-downs for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Management presents FFO as a supplemental performance measure because it believes that FFO is beneficial to investors as a starting point in measuring the Company’s operational performance. Specifically, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from sales of depreciable operating properties, which do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. The Company also believes that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare the Company’s operating performance with that of other REITs. However, other equity REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the Nareit definition as the Company does, and, accordingly, the Company’s FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ FFO.
AFFO
The Company calculates AFFO by adjusting FFO to exclude the income and expenses that the Company believes are not reflective of the sustainability of the Company’s ongoing operating performance, including, but not limited to, real estate related acquisition and due diligence costs, stock-based compensation and incentive, deferred impact of interest rate swap terminations, distributions on the Company’s preferred units and severance expense.
Changes in GAAP accounting and reporting rules that were put in effect after the establishment of Nareit’s definition of FFO in 1999 result in the inclusion of a number of items in FFO that do not correlate with the sustainability of the Company’s operating performance. Therefore, in addition to FFO, the Company presents AFFO and AFFO per share, fully diluted, both of which are non-GAAP measures. Management considers AFFO a useful supplemental performance metric for investors as it is more indicative of the Company’s operational performance than FFO. AFFO is not intended to represent cash flow or liquidity for the period and is only intended to provide an additional measure of the Company’s operating performance. Even AFFO, however, does not properly capture the timing of cash receipts, especially in connection with full-year rent payments under lease agreements entered into in connection with newly acquired farms.
