Thank you, Dustin. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to Farmland Partners' fourth quarter and full year 2025 earnings conference call and webcast.

We truly appreciate your taking the time to join us for this call because we see them as a very important opportunity to share with you our thinking, our strategy in a format less formal and more interactive than public filings and press releases. I will now turn over the call to our General Counsel, Christine Garrison, for some customary preliminary remarks.

Christine?

Thank you, Luca, and thank you to everyone on the call. The press release announcing our fourth quarter earnings was distributed after market close yesterday.

The supplemental package has been posted to the Investor Relations section of our website under the sub-header Events and Presentations. For those who listen to the recording of this presentation, we remind you that the remarks made herein are as of today, February 19th, 2026, and will not be updated subsequent to this call.

During this call, we will make forward-looking statements, including statements related to the future performance of our portfolio, our identified and potential acquisitions and dispositions, impact of acquisitions, dispositions, and financing activities, business development opportunities, as well as comments on our outlook for our business, rents, and the broader agricultural markets. We will also discuss certain non-GAAP financial measures, including net operating income, FFO, adjusted FFO, EBITDAre, and adjusted EBITDAre.

Definitions of these non-GAAP measures as well as reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures are included in the company's press release announcing full year 2025 earnings, which is available on our website, farmlandpartners.com, and is furnished as an exhibit to our current report on Form 8-K dated February 18th, 2026. Listeners are cautioned that these statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond our control.

These risks and uncertainties can cause actual results to differ materially from our current expectations, and we advise listeners to review the risk factors discussed in our press release distributed yesterday and in documents we have filed with or furnished to the SEC. I would now like to turn the call to our Executive Chairman, Paul Pittman.

Paul?

Thank you, Christine. It was a very, very good quarter and a very good year for the company.

Luca will go through many of these things in detail, but super strong AFFO, very strong asset sale program. We've continued to simplify the business with the sale of Murray Wise.

We reduced our debt and our leverage overall, particularly when you consider that we have now paid off the preferred, senior claims to common shareholders have been reduced substantially. Now we have increased the dividend by 50%.

This is something that's taken us a long time to get here, but it's driven by disciplined cost control and sort of disciplined strategic thinking with regard to what assets to own and what assets not to own. That process is driven at this point largely by Luca and the rest of the management team in Denver, but as you all know, I'm still pretty involved as well.

With that, I'll turn it over to Luca to be a little more specific about the events of the past year.

Thank you, Paul. I will actually pass the ball here to Susan Landi, our CFO, to walk you guys through more specific details about our performance both in the quarter and the year.

I will stick also to some kind of broader general comments. We had a very, very strong Q4 in the context of a very strong year.

I just want to remind everybody that this is kind of as expected. We historically have a very strong seasonality emphasis on Q4, especially on the revenue side, because of the nature of some revenue streams that we recognize only when we actually have actual cash receipts.

As Paul also mentioned, we had embarked in an effort to really strengthen our balance sheet and our liquidity access preparing for the repayment of our Series A equity that we just repaid here in February. We were able to do so as a cash repayment rather than common stock conversion, which would have been very dilutive.

We are very happy that we were able to strengthen our balance sheet and preserve the value embedded in our stock for our shareholders. We sold our brokerage and auction and asset management subsidiary, MWA, to Peoples Company, but we continue to have a very close working relationship with the buyer and with our former team over there.

We essentially got the double benefit of simplifying our business and streamlining a little bit while not really losing access truly to the market intelligence that we derived from having that team within our organization. Quick word about the 2026 outlook.

It is also very strong. Our approach, especially at the beginning of the year, given the comment that I just made about seasonality, we try to be realistic, and provide the best possible kind of picture to our investors as to what we expect for the year.

Agriculture is a very uncertain business until you actually go and harvest the fruit and sell it in some cases. We tend to remain somewhat cautious at the beginning of the year given that seasonality that is still far away from us.

As far as dispositions are concerned, in 2026 we expect to continue doing little marginal improvements to our portfolio, with some emphasis in California, for example, and we will do so whenever we have the opportunity to do it at what we consider fair prices that reflect the intrinsic value of the assets that we are disposing. Given all of that, we felt very comfortable in raising our current dividend by 50% to 9 cents per share per quarter.

We look forward to proving to the market that that was a very strong choice, a very, very good choice, and possibly, hopefully, outperforming the performance that we are expecting for the year. With that, I will turn the call to Susan Landi, our CFO.

Susan?

Thank you, Luca. I'll be covering the financial results from 2025 and guidance for 2026.

I'll be referring to the supplemental package, which is available in the Investor Relations section of our website under the sub-header Events and Presentations. Net income was $32.2 million for 2025 and $21.8 million for the quarter, or 65 cents and 49 cents per share available to common stockholders, respectively, which is lower than the same periods for 2024.

AFFO was $17.9 million for 2025 and $11.4 million for the quarter, or 39 cents and 26 cents per weighted average share, respectively, which was higher than the same periods for 2024. There are several key drivers of these variances.

Total operating revenues declined by approximately $6 million, but this is primarily because of the dispositions that occurred in 2024 and 2025. These declines were partially offset by an increase in variable rents during the fourth quarter and increased interest income due to higher average balances on loans under the loan program.

Overall, total operating expenses excluding impairments were down by approximately $3.6 million. This is primarily due to lower property operating costs and depreciation related to 2024 and 2025 dispositions and lower G&A expenses due to lower bonus expense in the current year and a one-time severance expense of $1.4 million and accelerated stock-based compensation that was recorded in the prior year.

Impairment of assets increased by $17 million, which was related to certain West Coast properties that we have concluded had a loss in value. This impairment was recorded in Q2.

Other income was lower than prior year due to lower gains on property dispositions, but this was partially offset by a $9.2 million reduction in interest expense as a result of significant reductions in debt that have occurred since October of 2024. The increase in AFFO primarily relates to the increased activity under the FPI loan program, lower interest expense from the reduction of outstanding debt, and overall lower operating expenses.

There are a few capital structure items that I'd like to highlight. First, we had undrawn capacity on the lines of credit of approximately $164 million at the end of December 2025.

As of today, we have undrawn capacity of approximately $111.7 million. The net borrowings subsequent to year-end were primarily utilized to redeem the remaining 68,000 outstanding Series A preferred units.

This removed the common stock overhang and further simplified our balance sheet. We also successfully amended our Farmer Mac facility in December, which led to an increase in our facility size from $75 million to $89.6 million.

Four MetLife loans have resets coming up in 2026 on debt that totals approximately $26 million. One of these loans repriced in January at 5.19%.

Page 15 has our outlook for 2026. The assumptions are listed at the bottom of the page.

The forecasted net income range is from $8.8 million to $10.9 million. The forecasted range of AFFO is $14.4 million to $16.4 million, or 33 cents to 37 cents per share.

On the revenue side, fixed farm, solar, wind, and recreation rent reflects the full year impact of 2025 dispositions, as well as lease renewals. Variable payments, crop sales, and crop insurance is expected to decrease from 2025 partially from our early season outlook on citrus and avocados, and partially from 2025 dispositions.

On the expense side, a decrease in property operating expenses and depreciation, depletion, and amortization is due to the dispositions that occurred in 2025. In addition, G&A decreased as a result of lower payroll costs primarily due to the sale of MWA, and due to lower expected credit losses on loans.

Interest expense did increase as a result of borrowings that have occurred thus far in 2026. This summarizes where we stand today.

We will keep you updated as we progress through the year. This wraps up our comments this morning.

Thank you all for participating. Operator, you can now begin the Q&A session.

good morning. Maybe looking at the guidance, you mentioned a little bit of the drivers, as I'm thinking about the change in variable rent versus 2025, kind of how much of that is asset sales roughly, and how much of that is just a different look on kind of farm revenue?

Luca, you want to take that question, please?

I'm going to take a first pass at it and then hand it over to Susan. On the variable payments, it's a little bit of both, actually.

There is both asset dispositions and the fact that some of our variable payments performed really, really strongly in Q4 of 2025, and we are taking a little bit more cautious approach in forecasting their performance in 2026 in Q4. To be honest, this is really not based on any hard knowledge because both crop yields and crop pricing in Q4 is completely unknown to us.

It's just a matter of kind of being a little bit more cautious in our forecast. Susan, anything that you want to add to that?

No, except that the majority of the decrease does relate to dispositions. Our farm rents were relatively flat, we did primarily single-year renewals as a result of that, but I'd say the vast majority of that decline would be related to 2025 dispositions.

Okay.

For the fixed farm

rent.

Yep.

Then, maybe sticking with guidance a little bit, as I think about kind of the year-over-year decline that's expected in G&A, how much of that maybe is Murray Wise, how much of that is related to kind of expectations around your loan portfolio, and how much of that is just other kind of efficiencies? I guess in the longer term, is the 2026 number you think close to what the run rate maybe is for you as an operating business?

Luca, let me handle that one if you don't mind. Murray Wise is a significant reduction in the G&A costs because we had quite a few employees which we no longer have on the payroll.

It's a big chunk of it, but we are also making some other cost reductions in the company in the more general overhead costs, it's a combination of all of those things. Frankly think that's sustainable and ongoing.

Run rate is where we are for the '26 year.

Okay. Then on the disposition side, how should we kind of think about the runway for dispositions?

How much of that is maybe contingent on the California market becoming more open and having more transaction activity? Are there other things kind of in your portfolio that you think are kind of saleable today, or beyond some of your core Corn Belt holdings?

Everything in the portfolio is saleable. There's nothing that wouldn't sell.

As far as California goes, the market there is now open again. The pricing isn't great, by the way, but the market is open again.

You went through sort of a catharsis of buyers and sellers being super separated in terms of expectations of value, but gap's now closed out, there's transactions occurring again. We will continue to weed out California.

We have soured on California, full stop. The very best properties we have in the almonds, in particular almonds and other tree nuts, likely to hold those, had all-women transactions, incredibly good for us.

For most of the rest of it, we will gradually liquidate it. We're disciplined in terms of achieving the highest reasonable prices that we can get under current market conditions.

As far as the rest of the country goes, the overwhelming majority outside of California is now based in Illinois. We will continue to sort of whittle down exposure in other states, as much as anything for efficiency reasons at this point.

If you're down to just one or two farms in a state, you either got to grow again or you need to frankly liquidate those, and so we'll see some sales there. Then, things in Illinois are for sale if somebody wants to pay top dollar.

We are super, super bullish on Illinois. A lot of those assets are up 30% or more since we purchased them, but if we can achieve those gains and distribute to shareholders, we'd certainly, as we've proven in the past, are willing to do that.

Okay. Then just one kind of maybe technical follow-up.

If you did sell a meaningful amount of California assets, I know it would kind of depend farm to farm, but would that have more of an impact on your kind of fixed farm rents, or would that flow through to kind of some of the variable rent opportunities?

It'd be a bigger impact on a variable rent.

Okay. That's it for me.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Hey, good morning, guys. I believe you had two FPI loans that were scheduled to mature at the end of January.

Were those repaid or were there any extensions?

We did extend those to September.

Extended them to December, to end of year. Great.

It would seem like you've seen a decent pick up in that program over the last year. Are you still seeing a decent amount of demand?

The opportunity on the loan program is pretty strong these days. The loan program is kind of counter-cyclical in many ways for land prices and farmer economics.

We're in an environment where there are some struggling farmers, therefore we have some loan opportunities. As long as we're comfortable with the collateral, we frankly like to keep those loans out as long as we can because the returns are strong.

Thus the extension we made. We're not troubled by extending as long as collateral's still solid.

I would say that that program will be either growing a little bit or steady state for the next year.

That's helpful. Changing gears, I think you mentioned in the supplement that you had a lease that transitioned from fixed to variable.

Or, it was fixed and variable, and it became just variable. How meaningful was that to the fourth quarter variable payments, and was that lease not going to be, sort of a standard three-year type of lease or was that one of those one-years you discussed?

Luca, I don't know the specifics there, you and somebody in the team can take that.

This was not a very significant movement. Off the top of my head was a one-year extension on a farm in California that we have then disposed of, I believe.

Helpful.

In any case, it was not particularly significant to the P&L.

All right, great. You've got the term loan 1, which I believe you're in the process of refinancing here this quarter.

I think it matures in March. Can you give us a sense of kind of where you anticipate that might price?

Uh--

Go ahead, guys.

Okay. Susan, you can go ahead.

We think it's probably going to reprice at some point at about the 5.3 range.

Okay.

In other words, very much in line with the market conditions that we see for this type of loans.

Great. It sounds like you guys might sell a few assets out of California opportunistically.

I know there aren't any acquisitions or dispositions in the guidance, but as you look at the market, whether that's in the Midwest or Southeast, are you seeing market pricing where you could accretively acquire at your current cost of capital or seeing transactions that are attractive?

The answer to that question is pricing is not down any significant amount anywhere in the country. In the core of the Midwest, it might be down 2 or 3% at most from the peak.

The other states may be a little bit more. California, of course, is different, but we're not going to be acquisitive there in any case.

I would say this is an asset class where two-thirds of your return is appreciation and one and 1/3 is current yield. You need to buy high-quality farms, and you need to buy value, and you need to be financed in a way that you can be patient, because that increase in value will definitely come, it's sometimes a little lumpy, but it's highly certain.

We can find acquisitions where we could expand, current yield will not be as high as we would want. If interest rates continue to lower, you may be in a place in which you're not running a negative spread between debt and farm yields, which makes expansion easier.

That being said, our attitude is we don't need to grow for growth's sake. Our attitude is to create value for shareholders, whether that's through dispositions or through growth.

It's about growing money, if you will, not growing crops or the size of the business.

Thanks. Appreciate it.

Hey, guys. Thanks for taking my question.

With the increase in the dividend, how should we think about the capital recycling strategy and uses of disposition proceeds going forward, particularly as it relates to share repurchases?

I think share repurchases, as our stock price continues to appreciate, will probably decline. I still think we're trading way below our breakup value or liquidation value of the portfolio assets, but that gap has certainly narrowed here in the first quarter.

I think stock buybacks will be less common than they've been in the past, assuming that stock price holds. As far as increasing the dividend, we're increasing the dividend driven largely by increased AFFO.

Obviously, it puts us in a position where we might have to make less special dividends to stay in tax compliance, but the dividend increase is largely driven by the cash flow expectation, not by asset sales. Asset sales drive special dividends, but we don't really want to drive our regular common dividend based on asset sales because they're frankly unpredictable.

Gotcha. That's helpful.

Thank you. Then I did have one quick follow-up related to the FPI loan program.

Just want to make sure I'm understanding the accounting and kind of the contract terms correctly here with some of these renewals. If the original terms called for principal and interest due at maturity, is that entire balloon payment kind of being repackaged and extended out, or is the interest being collected and then just the principal being extended?

Usually, we are getting interest along the way, and principal is what's being extended. We tend not to capitalize interest.

I wouldn't say never, but that's not the ordinary course for us in most of our loans.

Got it. Thanks.

That's all I had. Congrats on the quarter.

Thank you, Dustin, and thank you, everybody, for joining us today. We appreciate your interest in our company and look forward to updating you on our activities and results in the coming quarters.

Thank you all. Goodbye.
