Farmland Partners Inc.4600 S Syracuse StreetSuite 1450Denver, CO 80237 t (720) 452-3100f (720) 398-3238www.farmlandpartners.com March 24, 2025 Fellow Shareholders: Farmland Partners Inc. (FPI) had a remarkable year in 2024, underscoring the strength of our businessmodel and the resilience of farmland as an asset class. Despite macroeconomic headwinds and elevatedinterest rates, we executed our strategy with precision, delivering strong financial results and meaningfulreturns to our investors. Our focus in 2024 was threefold: optimizing our portfolio, reducing leverage, and increasing shareholdervalue. We successfully completed $312 million in asset sales, generating $54.1 million in gains. Thesetransactions reinforced the appreciation of our high-quality farmland and allowed us to return value directlyto shareholders through a one-time special dividend of $1.15 per share. At the same time, we significantly reduced our total indebtedness by $158.5 million, eliminatingfloating rate debt and positioning the company for approximately $10.9 million in projected annual interestsavings. Our balance sheet is now stronger than ever, providing stability and flexibility for futureopportunities. FPI reported net income of $61.5 million, or $1.19 per share, nearly doubling the prior year’s results.Adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) per share surged by over 81% year-over-year, reaching $0.29 pershare. This growth was driven by strong rent renewals, de-levering, continued cost-cutting measures, anddisciplined asset management. Our leasing strategy continues to pay off, with our portfolio fully leased heading into 2025. Specialtycrop farms delivered strong performance, and our ability to secure favorable rental increases in previous yearscontinues to benefit our bottom line. And our optimized portfolio is now even more focused on the core ofthe Midwest, which has historically had the best long-term rates of appreciation. We remain confident in our ability to navigate the evolving economic landscape while maintaining ourcommitment to long-term shareholder value. With a strengthened balance sheet, a streamlined cost structure,and a continued focus on strategic investments, we believe FPI is well-positioned for sustained growth. Asalways, we appreciate your continued trust and investment in Farmland Partners Inc., and we look forwardto another year of growth and value creation.
