DENVER, August 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ - Farmland Partners Inc. (NYSEMKT: FPI) (the “Company”) today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

Second Quarter Highlights

·                  Closed on $32.1 million of farm acquisitions totaling approximately 15,670 acres with an anticipated average unlevered annual cash return of approximately 5.0%

·                  Declared inaugural quarterly dividend of $0.105 per share ($0.42 annualized) for the second quarter

“This was a very important quarter for Farmland Partners,” said Paul Pittman, the Company’s CEO. “We entered the public stock market, and we deployed capital raised in the offering quickly and efficiently. Despite the decline in commodity prices, the farm economy remains very strong due to high productivity and the general strength of farmers’ balance sheets coming off of several very profitable years. We believe that values and rents for high quality farms, like the ones in our portfolio, will hold stable if not moderately increase.”

“With each acquisition we continue to diversify our portfolio,” said Luca Fabbri, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer. “We have added seven new tenants and expanded our presence in new geographies, and we believe the capital raised in the follow-on offering will enable us to continue doing so.”

Investment Activity

In the second quarter of 2014, the Company acquired two Colorado-based farms for an aggregate of $32.1 million totaling approximately 15,670 acres, and announced contracts for the acquisition of a 640-acre farm in Nebraska, which closed on July 1, 2014, for $1.0 million, and a 1,250-acre farm in Arkansas, which is expected to close no later than June 1, 2015, for approximately $4.6 million.

Subsequent to June 30, 2014, the Company announced the contract for the acquisition of an approximately 690-acre farm in Arkansas for a purchase price of approximately $2.7 million.

Public Offerings of Common Stock

On April 16, 2014, the Company completed its initial public offering of common stock, generating $53.2 million in gross proceeds. The aggregate net proceeds to the Company, after deducting the underwriting discount and commissions and expenses payable by the Company, were approximately $48.0 million. Use of proceeds included the repayment of approximately $12.0 million of outstanding indebtedness.

On July 30, 2014, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of common stock, generating $46.5 million in gross proceeds. The aggregate net proceeds to the Company, after deducting the underwriting discount and commissions and expenses payable by the Company, were approximately $43.3 million.

Anticipated New Indebtedness

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company entered into a non-binding term sheet with Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation (“Farmer Mac”) regarding a proposed secured note purchase facility, which provides for borrowings of up to an aggregate principal amount of $30.0 million. The indicative fixed rate provided by Farmer Mac in the term sheet for a three-year, interest-only note was 2.30% as of July 9, 2014.

Adjusted Funds from Operations and Adjusted EBITDA

The majority of our tenants pay 100% of their annual rent in advance of each spring planting season. Consistent with industry practice for cash rents, when we make new acquisitions in the first half of the year, we often will receive 100% of the year’s rent at closing. One of the adjustments that we make to derive AFFO and Adjusted EBITDA is to recognize revenue entirely within the calendar year in which it was received, rather than recognizing revenues on a straight-line basis throughout the entire multi-year term of the lease, as required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for complete definitions of AFFO and Adjusted EBITDA and the financial tables accompanying this press release for reconciliations of net income to AFFO and Adjusted EBITDA.

AFFO was $266,607 for the second quarter of 2014, compared with $217,666 for the second quarter of 2013, and $441,092 for the first half of 2014, compared with $430,038 for the first half of 2013. AFFO per fully diluted share was $0.04 for the second quarter of 2014 and $0.07 for the first half of 2014.

Adjusted EBITDA was $555,143 for the second quarter of 2014, compared with $544,153 for the second quarter of 2013, and $1,064,202 for the first half of 2014, compared with $1,084,786 for the first half of 2013.

Quarterly Dividends

On May 14, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a second quarter dividend of $0.105 per share, which was paid on July 15, 2014 to all stockholders of record on July 1, 2014.

On August 6, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a third quarter dividend of $0.105 per share payable on October 15, 2014 to all stockholders of record on October 1, 2014. On an annualized basis, this dividend equates to $0.42 per share, which represents an annual distribution rate of 3.85% based on the Company’s closing stock price on Monday August 11, 2014.

Operating Results

At June 30, 2014, the Company’s portfolio included 40 farms totaling approximately 23,000 acres and 2014 contractual rents of $4.2 million.

The Company recorded rental income of $700,965 and a net loss of $541,668 (inclusive of a net loss of $183,385 attributable to non-controlling interests) for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to rental income of $564,331 and net income of $170,459 for the same period in 2013. The Company recorded rental income of $1,336,819 and a net loss of $407,078 for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to rental income of $1,127,330 and net income of $348,101 for the same period in 2013.

Total rental income increased $136,634, or 24.2%, for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013. Contractual rents for the same-property portfolio increased $61,655, or 11%, for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013, as a result of average annual cash rent for the same-property portfolio increasing to $366 per acre for the three months ended June 30, 2014 from $327 per acre for the same period in 2013.

In the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company received full year rent payments of $1,612,847 and a half year rent payment of $12,185, respectively, under lease agreements entered into in connection with farms acquired during such periods.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013

(Unaudited)

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company considers the following non-GAAP measures as useful to investors as key supplemental measures of its performance: FFO, AFFO, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. 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, AFFO, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 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, crop year adjusted revenue, 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.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”) 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 EBITDA is a standard performance measure commonly reported and widely used by analysts and investors in the Company’s industry. However, while EBITDA is a performance measure widely used across several industries, 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 EBITDA, management uses Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure.

The Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA by adjusting EBITDA for certain items such as crop year adjusted revenue, 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 EBITDA provides useful supplemental information to investors regarding the Company’s ongoing operating performance that, when considered with net income and EBITDA, is beneficial to an investor’s understanding of the Company’s operating performance. However, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 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.
