| Organization and Significant Accounting Policies | Note 1—Organization and Significant Accounting Policie s Organization Farmland Partners Inc. (“FPI”), collectively with its subsidiaries, is an internally managed real estate company that owns and seeks to acquire high-quality farmland located in agricultural markets throughout North America. FPI was incorporated in Maryland on September 27, 2013. FPI elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with its short taxable year ended December 31, 2014. FPI is the sole member of the sole general partner of Farmland Partners Operating Partnership, LP (the “Operating Partnership”), which was formed in Delaware on September 27, 2013. All of FPI’s assets are held by, and its operations are primarily conducted through, the Operating Partnership and the wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. As of June 30, 2023, FPI owned a 97.8% interest in the Operating Partnership. See “Note 9—Stockholders’ Equity and Non-controlling Interests” for additional discussion regarding Class A Common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“Common units”) and Series A preferred units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“Series A preferred units”). Unlike holders of FPI’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common stock”), holders of the Operating Partnership’s Common units and Series A preferred units generally do not have voting rights or the power to direct the affairs of FPI. As of June 30, 2023, the Operating Partnership owned a 9.97% equity interest in an unconsolidated equity method investment that holds 12 properties (see “Note 1—Organization and Significant Accounting Policies—Loans and Financing Receivables,” “Note 1—Organization and Significant Accounting Policies—Equity Method Investments,” and “Note 4—Related Party Transactions”). References to the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” mean collectively FPI and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership. As of June 30, 2023, the Company owned a portfolio of approximately 159,200 acres of farmland, which is consolidated in these financial statements. In addition, as of June 30, 2023, we owned land and buildings for four agriculture equipment dealerships in Ohio leased to Ag-Pro Ohio, LLC (“Ag Pro”) under the John Deere brand and served as property manager for approximately 31,000 acres of farmland. On March 16, 2015, the Company formed FPI Agribusiness Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary (the “TRS” or “FPI Agribusiness”), as a taxable REIT subsidiary. We engage directly in farming, provide property management, auction, and brokerage services and volume purchasing services to our tenants through the TRS. As of June 30, 2023, the TRS performed direct farming operations on 2,108 acres of farmland owned by the Company located in California. All references to numbers and percent of acres within this report are unaudited. Principles of Combination and Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of FPI and the Operating Partnership. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Interim Financial Information The information in the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and June 30, 2023 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 is unaudited. The accompanying financial statements include adjustments based on management’s estimates (consisting of normal and recurring accruals), which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods. The financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which the Company filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 23, 2023. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of actual operating results for the entire year ending December 31, 2023. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates for a variety of reasons, including, without limitation, the impacts of public health crises, the war in Ukraine, substantially higher prices for oil and gas and substantially increased interest rates, and their effects on the domestic and global economies. We are unable to quantify the ultimate impact of these factors on our business. Real Estate Acquisitions When the Company acquires farmland where substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset, or a group of similar identifiable assets, it is not considered a business. As such, the Company accounts for these types of acquisitions as asset acquisitions. When substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is not concentrated in a single identifiable asset, or a group of similar assets, and contains acquired inputs and processes which have the ability to contribute to the creation of outputs, these acquisitions are accounted for as business combinations. The Company considers single identifiable assets as tangible assets that are attached to and cannot be physically removed and used separately from another tangible asset without incurring significant cost or significant diminution in utility or fair value. The Company considers similar assets as assets that have a similar nature and risk characteristics. Whether the Company’s acquisitions are treated as asset acquisitions under ASC 360 or business combinations under ASC 805, the fair value of the aggregate purchase price paid in each such acquisition is allocated among the assets acquired and any liabilities assumed by valuing the property as if it were vacant. The “as-if-vacant” value is allocated to land, buildings, improvements, permanent plantings and any liabilities, based on management’s determination of the relative fair values of such assets and liabilities as of the date of acquisition. Upon acquisition of real estate, the Company allocates the purchase price of the real estate based upon the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired, which historically have consisted of land, drainage improvements, irrigation improvements, groundwater, permanent plantings (trees, bushes, shrubs, vines and perennial crops) and grain facilities, and may also consist of intangible assets, including in-place leases, above market and below market leases, and tenant relationships. The Company allocates the purchase price to the fair value of the tangible assets by valuing the land as if it were unimproved. The Company values improvements, including permanent plantings and grain facilities, at replacement cost, adjusted for depreciation. Management’s estimates of land value are made using a comparable sales analysis. Factors considered by management in its analysis of land value include soil types, water availability and the sale prices of comparable farms. Management’s estimates of groundwater value are made using historical information obtained regarding the applicable aquifer. Factors considered by management in its analysis of groundwater value are related to the location of the aquifer and whether or not the aquifer is a depletable resource or a replenishing resource. If the aquifer is a replenishing resource, no value is allocated to the groundwater. The Company includes an estimate of property taxes in the purchase price allocation of acquisitions to account for the expected liability that was assumed. When above or below market leases are acquired, the Company values the intangible assets based on the present value of the difference between prevailing market rates and the in-place rates measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above market leases, and the initial term plus the term of any below market fixed rate renewal options for below market leases that are considered bargain renewal options. The above market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining term of the respective leases. The fair value of acquired below market leases, included in deferred revenue on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, is amortized as an increase to rental income on a straight-line basis over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases, plus the terms of any below market fixed rate renewal options that are considered bargain renewal options of the respective leases. The purchase price is allocated to in-place lease values and tenant relationships, if they are acquired, based on the Company’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease, availability of replacement tenants, probability of lease renewal, estimated down time and the Company’s overall relationship with the tenant. The value of in-place lease intangibles and tenant relationships are included as an intangible asset and have been amortized over the remaining lease term (including expected renewal periods of the respective leases for tenant relationships) as amortization expense. If a tenant terminates its lease prior to its stated expiration, any unamortized amounts relating to that lease, including above and below market leases, in-place lease values, and tenant relationships, would be recorded to revenue or expense as appropriate. The Company capitalizes acquisition costs and due diligence costs if the asset is expected to qualify as an asset acquisition. If the asset acquisition is abandoned, the capitalized asset acquisition costs are expensed to acquisition and due diligence costs in the period of abandonment. Costs associated with a business combination are expensed to acquisition and due diligence costs as incurred. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred an immaterial amount of costs related to acquisition and due diligence. Total consideration for acquisitions may include a combination of cash and equity securities. When equity securities are issued, the Company determines the fair value of the equity securities issued based on the number of shares or units issued multiplied by the price per share or unit. Using information available at the time of a business combination, the Company allocates the total consideration to tangible assets and liabilities and identified intangible assets and liabilities. Any residual amount remaining after such allocations is allocated to goodwill. During the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date when incomplete information exists as of the respective reporting date, the Company may adjust the preliminary purchase price allocations after obtaining more information about assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. Real Estate Sales The Company recognizes gains from the sales of real estate assets generally at the time the title is transferred and consideration is received. Liquidity Policy The Company manages its liquidity position and expected liquidity needs taking into consideration current cash balances, undrawn availability under its lines of credit ($120.7 million as of June 30, 2023), and reasonably expected cash receipts. The business model of the Company, and of real estate investment companies in general, utilizes debt as a structural source of financing. When debt becomes due, it is generally refinanced rather than repaid using the Company’s cash flow from operations. The Company has a history of being able to refinance its debt obligations prior to maturity. Furthermore, the Company also has a substantial portfolio of real estate assets that management believes could be readily liquidated if necessary to fund any immediate liquidity needs. As of June 30, 2023, we had $471.0 million of mortgage and other debt against a portfolio of real estate assets with a net book value of $1.1 billion. As of June 30, 2023, we had capacity to issue up to $50.5 million of our common stock under . Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources.” Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance at any given financial institution may at times exceed federally insurable limits. We consider highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less, such as money market funds, to be cash equivalents. The Company monitors balances with individual financial institutions to mitigate risks relating to balances exceeding such limits. Restricted Cash The Company’s restricted cash consists of escrowed funds deposited with financial institutions subject to an in-process like-kind exchange in accordance with Section 1031 of the Code. The balance of restricted cash as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was $2.2 million and $0.0 million, respectively. Loans and Financing Receivables Loans and financing receivables are stated at their unpaid principal balance and include unamortized direct origination costs, prepaid interest and accrued interest through the reporting date, less any allowance for losses and unearned borrower paid points. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company has two types of loans and financing receivables: loans under the Company’s loan program (the “FPI Loan Program”) and sale-leaseback transactions accounted for as financing receivables. Loans under the FPI Loan Program: Sale-leaseback Transactions Accounted for as Financing Arrangements: Current expected credit losses (“CECL”) For financing receivables, the Company monitors its receivables based upon historical collection experience, collateral values, current trends, long-term probability of default (“PD”) and estimated loss given default (“LGD”). This approach calculates impairment by multiplying the PD (probability the asset will default within a given timeframe) by the LGD (percentage of the asset not expected to be collected due to default). The PD and LGD are estimated using average historical default rates of a company with similar credit risk factors to the Company’s tenant. Accrued interest write-offs are recognized as credit loss expense. CECL are recorded as a reduction to loans and financing receivables, net on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The CECL allowance is updated on a quarterly basis with the resulting change being recorded in the consolidated statements of operations for the relevant period. Charge-offs are deducted from the allowance in the period in which they are deemed uncollectible. Recoveries previously written off are recorded when received. There were no charge-offs or recoveries for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are presented at face value, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company records an allowance for doubtful accounts, reducing the receivables balance to an amount that it estimates is collectible from our customers. Estimates used in determining the allowance for doubtful accounts are based on historical collection experience, current trends, aging of accounts receivable and periodic credit evaluations of the Company’s customers’ financial condition. The Company creates an allowance for accounts receivable when it becomes apparent, based upon age or customer circumstances, that an amount may not be collectible, such that all current expected losses are sufficiently reserved for at each reporting period. The Company considered its current expectations of future economic conditions when estimating its allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts was less than $0.1 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded on the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a reduction to rental revenue if in relation to revenues recognized in the year, or as property operating expenses if in relation to revenue recognized in the prior years. Inventory Inventory consists of costs related to crops grown on farms directly operated by the TRS and is separated into growing crop inventory, harvested crop inventory or general inventory, as appropriate. Inventory is stated in the consolidated balance sheets at the lower of cost or net realizable value Growing crop inventory consists of costs allocated to crops that have not yet been harvested, primarily costs related to land preparation, cultivation, irrigation and fertilization. Growing crop inventory is charged to cost of products sold when the related crop is harvested and sold. The cost of harvested crops sold was $1.0 million and $1.3 million, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the cost of harvested crops sold was $1.9 million and $2.8 million, respectively. Harvested crop inventory consists of costs accumulated both during the growing and harvesting phases and allocated to harvested crops. Harvested crop inventory is stated at the lower of accumulated costs or estimated net realizable value, which is the market price of the harvested crops, based upon the nearest market in the geographic region, less any cost of disposition. Cost of disposition includes broker’s commissions, freight and other marketing costs. General inventory, such as fertilizer, seeds and pesticides, is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, inventory consisted of the following: (in thousands) June 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 Harvested crop $ 1,403 $ — Growing crop 1,349 2,808 $ 2,752 $ 2,808 Equity Method Investments On January 20, 2021, the Company entered into property sale and long-term management agreements with Promised Land Opportunity Zone Farms I, LLC (the “OZ Fund”), a private investment fund focused on acquiring and improving farmland in qualified opportunity zones in the United States, as designated under U.S. tax provisions enacted in 2017. As consideration for 10 farms sold to the OZ Fund in March 2021, the Company received approximately $2.4 million in convertible notes receivable, which, in addition to the accrued interest thereon, was converted into membership interests in the OZ Fund at the Company’s election in July 2021. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the aggregate balance of the Company’s equity method investment in the OZ Fund was approximately $4.2 million for each period, including aggregate capital contributions of $1.7 million from inception of the joint venture through June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The OZ Fund will exist until an event of dissolution occurs, as defined in the limited liability company agreement of the OZ Fund (the “Fund Agreement”). Under the Fund Agreement, the manager of the OZ Fund may call for additional capital contributions from its members to fund expenses, property acquisitions and capital improvements in accordance with each members’ funding ratio. The Company’s capital contributions are capped at $20.0 million. Under the Fund Agreement, any available cash, after the allowance for the payment of all obligations, operating expenses and capital improvements, is distributed to the members at least annually. For each fiscal year, net income or loss is allocated to the members pro rata in accordance with their percentage interest. Business Combinations The Company recognizes and measures the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination based on their estimated fair values as of date of acquisition, with any difference recorded as goodwill. Management engages an independent valuation specialist, as applicable, to assist with the determination of fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and resulting goodwill, based on recognized business valuation methodologies. If the initial accounting for the business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the acquisition occurs, an estimate will be recorded. Subsequent to the acquisition, and not later than one year from the acquisition date, the Company will record any measurement period adjustments to the initial estimate based on new information obtained that would have existed as of the acquisition date. An adjustment that arises from information obtained that did not exist as of the date of the acquisition will be recorded in the period of the adjustment. Acquisition and due diligence costs that arise as a result of a business combination are expensed as incurred. Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired in the acquisition of a business. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is tested for impairment annually in the fourth quarter and when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit with goodwill has been reduced below its carrying value. The impairment test requires allocating goodwill and other assets and liabilities to reporting units. The fair value of each reporting unit is determined and compared to the carrying value of the reporting unit. The fair value is calculated using the expected present value of future cash flows method. Significant assumptions used in the cash flow forecasts include future net operating margins, discount rates and future capital requirements. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, including goodwill, the excess of the book value over the fair value of goodwill is charged to net income as an impairment expense. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company did not incur any impairment charges related to goodwill. Amortization of intangible assets with definite lives is calculated using the straight-line method, which is reflective of the benefit pattern in which the estimated economic benefit is expected to be received over the estimated useful life of the intangible asset. Intangible assets subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the intangible asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flows related to the asset is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized based on the fair value of the asset. Trade names and trademarks have an indefinite life and, therefore, are not subject to amortization. Customer relationships are subject to amortization and are amortized over a period of 10 years. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded amortization of customer relationships of less than $0.1 million for each period. Fair Value The Company is required to disclose fair value as further explained in “Note 6—Notes Receivable,” “Note 7—Mortgage Notes, Lines of Credit and Bonds Payable” and “Note 10—Hedge Accounting.” FASB ASC 820-10 establishes a three-level hierarchy for the disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows: ● Level 1 —Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. ● Level 2 —Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable or can be substantially corroborated for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. ● Level 3 —Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable, supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value measurement. Hedge Accounting ASC 815 requires the Company to recognize all of its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value (i.e., gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and, further, on the type of hedging relationship. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, the company must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation. For derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, the gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations during the reporting period. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk, by managing the amount, sources, duration and interest rate exposure of its funding. The Company may also use interest rate derivative financial instruments, namely interest rate swaps. The Company may enter into marketing contracts to sell commodities. Derivatives and hedge accounting guidance requires a company to evaluate these contracts to determine whether the contracts are derivatives. Certain contracts that meet the definition of a derivative may be exempt from derivative accounting if designated as normal purchase or normal sales. The Company evaluates all contracts at inception to determine if they are derivatives and if they meet the normal purchase and normal sale designation requirements. The Company has in place one interest rate swap agreement with Rabobank to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. This agreement qualifies as a cash flow hedge and is actively evaluated for ongoing effectiveness (see “Note 10—Hedge Accounting”). The entire change in the fair value of the Company’s designated cash flow hedges is recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of stockholders’ equity in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, the Company assesses whether the derivative used in its hedging transaction is expected to be highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. The Company discontinues hedge accounting when it is determined that a derivative has ceased to be or is not expected to be highly effective as a hedge, and then reflects changes in fair value of the derivative as gain or loss, as applicable, in the consolidated statements of operations during reporting periods after such determination. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), that provided practical expedients to address existing guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting due to the expected market transition from the London Inter-bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interbank offered rates (together, “IBORs”) to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority announced it intended to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. We refer to this transition as “reference rate reform.” The first practical expedient allows companies to elect to not apply certain modification accounting requirements to debt, derivative and lease contracts affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. These criteria include the following: (i) the contract referenced an IBOR rate that is expected to be discontinued; (ii) the modified terms directly replace or have the potential to replace the IBOR rate that is expected to be discontinued; and (iii) any contemporaneous changes to other terms that change or have the potential to change the amount and timing of contractual cash flows must be related to the replacement of the IBOR rate. If the contract meets all three criteria, there is no requirement for remeasurement of the contract at the modification date or reassessment of the previous hedging relationship accounting determination. The second practical expedient allows companies to change the reference rate and other critical terms related to the reference rate reform in derivative hedge documentation without having to de-designate the hedging relationship. This allows for companies to continue applying hedge accounting to existing cash flow and net investment hedges. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which extends the period of time preparers can utilize the reference rate reform relief guidance in Topic 848. The objective of the guidance in Topic 848 is to provide relief during the temporary transition period, so the FASB included a sunset provision within Topic 848 based on expectations of when the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) would cease being published. In 2021, the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) delayed the intended cessation date of certain tenors of USD LIBOR to June 30, 2023. To ensure the relief in Topic 848 covers the period of time during which a significant number of modifications may take place, the ASU defers the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848. The Company will continue to evaluate its debt, derivative and lease contracts that are eligible for modification relief and expects to apply those elections as needed. |
