CEO Comments
Paul A. Pittman, Chairman and CEO
said: "The demand-driven bull market and farm productivity gains
are generating a strong profit outlook for farmers, which, in turn,
are generating positive momentum in land values and lease renewal
rates. Q1 2021 was a strong quarter for Farmland Partners,
other than for legal expenses related to the on-going Rota Fortunae
litigation. Specialty crop performance is on track to equal
or exceed 2020, but it is still early in the season."

since March 2016. Corn exports
increased 77% for the first six months of the 2020/2021 marketing
year (August to February). Ethanol was down 6% over the same
period, but gasoline production is expected to increase relative to
prior year as gasoline consumption recovers from COVID-19 related
travel restrictions.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company considers the following non-GAAP measures as 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 exactly 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, plus real estate
related depreciation, depletion and amortization (excluding
amortization of deferred financing costs), and after adjustments
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 and stock-based compensation.
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. Management
considers AFFO per share, fully diluted to be a supplemental metric
to GAAP earnings per share. AFFO per share, fully diluted provides
additional insight into how the Company's operating performance
could be allocated to potential shares outstanding at a specific
point in time. Management believes that AFFO is a widely recognized
measure of the operations of REITs and presenting AFFO will enable
investors to assess the Company's performance in comparison to
other REITs. However, other REITs may use different methodologies
for calculating AFFO and AFFO per share, fully diluted and,
accordingly, the Company's AFFO and AFFO per share, fully diluted
may not always be comparable to AFFO and AFFO per share amounts
calculated by other REITs. AFFO and AFFO per share, fully diluted
should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or
earnings per share (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an
indication of financial performance, or as an alternative to net
income (loss) earnings per share (determined in accordance with
GAAP) as a measure of the Company's liquidity, nor are they
indicative of funds available to fund the Company's cash needs,
including its ability to make distributions.
EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre
The Company calculates Earnings Before Interest Taxes
Depreciation and Amortization for real estate ("EBITDAre") in
accordance with the standards established by NAREIT in its
September 2017 White Paper. NAREIT
defines EBITDAre as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP)
excluding interest expense, income tax, depreciation and
amortization, gains or losses on disposition of depreciated
property (including gains or losses on change of control),
impairment write-downs of depreciated property and of investments
in unconsolidated affiliates caused by a decrease in value of
depreciated property in the affiliate, and adjustments to reflect
the entity's pro rata share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated
affiliates. EBITDAre is a key financial measure used to
evaluate the Company's operating performance but should not be
construed as an alternative to operating income, cash flows from
operating activities or net income, in each case as determined in
accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that EBITDAre is a
useful performance measure commonly reported and will be widely
used by analysts and investors in the Company's industry. However,
while EBITDAre is a performance measure widely used across the
Company's industry, the Company does not believe that it correctly
captures the Company's business operating performance because it
includes non-cash expenses and recurring adjustments that are
necessary to better understand the Company's business operating
performance. Therefore, in addition to EBITDAre, management
uses Adjusted EBITDAre, a non-GAAP measure.
The Company calculates Adjusted EBITDAre by adjusting EBITDAre
for certain items such as stock-based compensation and real estate
related acquisition and due diligence costs that the Company
considers necessary to understand its operating performance. The
Company believes that Adjusted EBITDAre provides useful
supplemental information to investors regarding the Company's
ongoing operating performance that, when considered with net income
and EBITDAre, is beneficial to an investor's understanding of the
Company's operating performance. However, EBITDAre and Adjusted
EBITDAre have limitations as analytical tools and should not be
considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the
Company's results as reported under GAAP.
In prior periods, the Company has presented EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA. In accordance with NAREIT's recommendation, beginning with
the Company's reported results for the three months ended
March 31, 2018, the Company is
reporting EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre in place of EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA.
Net Operating Income (NOI)
The Company calculates net operating income (NOI) as total
operating revenues (rental income, tenant reimbursements, crop
sales and other revenue) less property operating expenses (direct
property expenses and real estate taxes). Since net operating
income excludes general and administrative expenses, interest
expense, depreciation and amortization, acquisition-related
expenses, other income and losses and extraordinary items, it
provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year,
reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning
and leasing farmland real estate, providing a perspective not
immediately apparent from net income. However, net operating income
should not be viewed as an alternative measure of the Company's
financial performance since it does not reflect general and
administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation and
amortization costs, other income and losses.
