The disruption in farming operations in Ukraine, and trade from the Black Sea region has stressed the food supply for many countries that depend on imports of agricultural products from the region, such as Egypt (wheat for food products) and China (corn for livestock). The Russian Federation is also a major exporter of fertilizers and trade restrictions have hampered the flow of fertilizers to countries dependent on imports from the Black Sea region.

There is no debt subject to interest rate resets in 2025. At December 31, 2024, $11.8 million, or 5.7%, of our debt had variable interest rates, however, as stated in “Note 10—Hedge Accounting” to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, we have an interest rate swap with Rabobank for $11.8 million, which effectively reduces floating rate exposure to $0.0 million. We expect that future changes in interest rates will impact our overall operating performance by, among other things, affecting our borrowing costs and borrowing costs of our tenants.
However, interest rates remain high relative to the recent past, and the Federal Reserve’s plans are subject to numerous uncertainties. As of December 31, 2025, $67.8 million of our outstanding indebtedness was subject to interest rates that reset before maturity (excluding our floating rate debt), of which $26.2 million was subject to interest rates that will be reset in 2026. 47 Table of Contents As of December 31, 2025, the weighted average interest rate of the indebtedness subject to interest rate resets in 2026 was 5.64%. At December 31, 2025, $4.9 million, or 3.0%, of our debt had variable interest rates, however, as stated in “Note 10—Hedge Accounting” to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, we have an interest rate swap with Rabobank for $4.9 million, which effectively reduces our floating rate exposure to $0.0 million. We expect that future changes in interest rates will impact our overall operating performance by, among other things, affecting our borrowing costs and the borrowing costs of our tenants.

This decrease is due to tax adjustments in 2023 related to estimates. Liquidity and Capital Resources Overview Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to repay any outstanding borrowings, fund and maintain our assets and operations, acquire new properties, make distributions to our stockholders and unitholders, and fund other general business needs. Despite cuts in the federal funds rate by the Federal Reserve in September, November and December 2024, interest rates remain high, and there can be no certainty as to the occurrence, timing or magnitude of future rate cuts by the Federal Reserve.
This decrease was the result of lower outstanding debt attributable to significant debt repayments during the year ended December 31, 2025. 51 Table of Contents Income tax benefit was negligible during the year ended December 31, 2025 and remained relatively consistent compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.

This increase in rates has significantly increased the cost of our floating rate debt and has also significantly increased the cost of certain of our MetLife debt with interest rates that have been reset since the beginning of 2022.

This decrease was a result of asset dispositions in 2023 and 2024 and more assets becoming fully depreciated, partially offset by depreciable assets being placed into service. Property operating expenses decreased $1.3 million, or 14.9%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023, resulting from lower tax and insurance expense primarily due to dispositions that occurred in 2023 and 2024.

We expect that global demand for most crops will continue to keep pace with global population growth. We also believe that growth in global GDP per capita, particularly in developing nations, will contribute significantly to increasing demand for primary crops.
We expect that global demand for most crops will continue to keep pace with global population growth.
Impairment during the year ended December 31, 2023, was the result of a property classified as held for sale and written down to its estimated fair value less costs to sell, while impairment during the year ended December 31, 2024 was related to the write-down on the value of trade names associated with Murray Wise Associates, LLC and impairment of irrigation assets held for sale at year-end. Other operating expenses remained flat at $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

As a result, we believe that the effect on us of inflationary increases in operating expenses are borne largely by our tenants under the terms of their leases, and inflationary increases in farmer profitability generally lead to increased rents upon lease renewals, as we experienced in the most recent renewal cycle in late 2023.
As a result, we believe that the effect on us of inflationary increases in operating expenses are borne largely by our tenants under the terms of their leases, and increases in farmer profitability generally lead to increased rents upon lease renewals, as we experienced in the 2023 renewal cycle. High levels of inflation prompted the Board of Governors of the United States Federal Reserve (the “Federal Reserve”) to increase the federal funds rate eleven times between March 2022 and July 2023, which led to a significant increase in market short- and long-term interest rates beginning in early 2022.
We incur costs associated with running a public company, including, among others, costs associated with our personnel, Board of Directors, compliance, legal and accounting, due diligence and acquisitions (including, among others, travel expenses and consulting fees).
In cases where capital expenditures are necessary, we typically seek to offset, over a period of multiple years, the costs of such capital expenditures by increasing rental rates. 46 Table of Contents We incur costs associated with running a public company, including, among others, costs associated with our personnel, Board of Directors, regulatory compliance, legal and accounting, due diligence and acquisitions (including, among others, travel expenses and consulting fees).
This decrease was the result of a lower impairment expense as well as the sale of blueberry farms that were previously directly operated. Acquisition and due diligence costs were negligible during the year ended December 31, 2024 and remained relatively consistent compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. General and administrative expenses increased $2.8 million, or 24.8%, for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023.
This increase was primarily the result of accelerated costs of walnuts due to the sale of a property as well as increased costs of sales related to tree pruning on our citrus and avocado properties. Acquisition and due diligence costs were negligible during the year ended December 31, 2025 and remained relatively consistent compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.

Changes in government regulations and policy, fluctuations in global prosperity, fluctuations in foreign trade and export markets and eruptions of military conflicts, such as the war in Ukraine and other geopolitical tensions, or civil unrest also impact crop prices. Inflation and Interest Rates Most of our farming leases have lease terms of three years for row crops and up to seven years for permanent crops, pursuant to which each tenant is responsible for substantially all of the operating expenses related to the property, including maintenance, water usage and insurance.
This increase was driven by a one-time severance expense of $1.4 million and $2.3 million of special bonuses during the year ended December 31, 2024, partially offset by lower compensation and travel expense.
General and administrative expense during the year ended December 31, 2024 included a one-time severance expense of $1.4 million and special bonuses of $2.3 million while 2025 included an increase in the allowance on loans under the FPI loan program totaling $1.9 million, partially offset by lower compensation and travel expense. Legal and accounting expenses increased $1.3 million, or 77.0%, for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.
This increase was the result of a higher volume of walnut, citrus and avocado sales on our directly operated properties.

The ongoing war in Ukraine has disrupted supply chains and affected the prices of grain, fertilizer, and energy, further stressing food supplies for developing countries that are dependent on food imports.
