This amendment to the Original Form 10-K (the “Amendment”) is being filed to correct the following immaterial disclosure errors in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 in the Original Form 10-K:
(i)The authorized number of Series D cumulative term preferred stock, $0.001 par value, as of December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024 was revised to 2,415,000 from 3,600,000 as reported in the Original Form 10-K.
(ii)The authorized number of Series C cumulative redeemable preferred stock, $0.001 par value, as of December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024 was revised to 10,149,444 from 25,700,791 as reported in the Original Form 10-K.
(iii)The authorized number of common stock, $0.001 par value (“Common Stock”), as of December 31, 2025 was revised to 65,100,617 from 48,364,270 as reported in the Original Form 10-K.

Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Gladstone Land Corporation:
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and include those policies and procedures that pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect our transactions and the dispositions of our assets, provide reasonable assurance that our transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with appropriate authorizations; and provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, we assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO). Based on our assessment, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2025.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Gladstone Land Corporation
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Gladstone Land Corporation and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, of equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, including the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the accompanying index (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Impairment Assessment of a Certain Real Estate Investment
As described in Notes 2 and 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s total real estate, net balance was $1.1 billion as of December 31, 2025. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded impairment losses of $3.9 million related to real estate investments, the majority of which related to one property located in Santa Barbara County, California (“a certain real estate investment”). Management periodically reviews the carrying value of each property to determine whether indicators of impairment exist. If circumstances support the possibility of impairment, management prepares a projection of the total undiscounted future cash flows of the specific property (without interest charges), including net proceeds from disposition, if any, and compares them to the carrying value of the property to determine whether the carrying value of the property is recoverable. If impairment is indicated, the carrying value of the property is written down to its estimated fair value based on the property’s discounted future cash flows using market-derived assumptions, such as cap rates, discount rates, and rental rates applied to the expected hold period.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the impairment assessment of a certain real estate investment is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the
estimated fair value of a certain real estate investment; and (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to the cap rate, the discount rate, and the rental rates.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included, among others, (i) testing management’s process for developing the estimated fair value of a certain real estate investment; (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow model used by management; (iii) testing the completeness and accuracy of certain data used in the discounted cash flow model; and (iv) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to the cap rate, the discount rate, and the rental rates. Evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management involved considering external market and industry data and evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
References to the number of farms/properties, acreage, and primary crops use are unaudited.
NOTE 1. BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION
Business and Organization
Gladstone Land Corporation (“we,” “us,” or the “Company”) is an agricultural real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that was re-incorporated in Maryland on March 24, 2011, having been originally incorporated in California on June 14, 1997. We are primarily in the business of owning and leasing farmland, including through lease structures with a variable rent component based on the gross revenues generated from certain farms in lieu of fixed base rent. From time to time, and on a temporary basis, we may also directly operate certain of our farms via management agreements with third-party operators and/or through a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”). As of December 31, 2025, we owned 144 farms totaling 98,688 acres across 14 states in the U.S. and 55,532 acre-feet of water assets in California. In addition, as of December 31, 2025, two of our properties (comprising four farms) were directly operated by us.
We conduct substantially all of our operations through a subsidiary, Gladstone Land Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership. As we currently control the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and own, directly or indirectly, a majority of the common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”), the financial position and results of operations of the Operating Partnership are consolidated within our financial statements. As of each of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company owned all of the outstanding OP Units.
Gladstone Land Advisers, Inc. (“Land Advisers”), a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, was created to collect any non-qualifying income related to our real estate portfolio and to perform certain small-scale farming business operations. We have elected for Land Advisers to be taxed as a TRS of ours. Since we currently indirectly own 100% of the voting securities of Land Advisers, its financial position and results of operations are consolidated within our financial statements. For each of the tax years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, there was no taxable income or loss from Land Advisers, nor did we have any undistributed REIT taxable income.
Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, and pursuant to contractual agreements, our business is managed by Gladstone Management Corporation (our “Adviser”), a Delaware corporation, and administrative services are provided to us by Gladstone Administration, LLC (our “Administrator”), a Delaware limited liability company. Our Adviser and Administrator are both affiliates of ours (see Note 8, “Related-Party Transactions,” for additional discussion regarding our Adviser and Administrator).
All further references herein to “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” refer, collectively, to Gladstone Land Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, except where indicated otherwise.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally-accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may materially differ from these estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain line items on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2024, and the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously-reported stockholders’ equity, net income, or net change in cash and cash equivalents.
Real Estate and Lease Intangibles
Our investments in real estate consist of farmland, improvements made to the farmland (consisting primarily of irrigation and drainage systems and buildings), and permanent plantings acquired in connection with certain land purchases (consisting
primarily of almond and pistachio trees, blueberry bushes, and wine vineyards). We record investments in real estate at cost and generally capitalize improvements and replacements when they extend the useful life or improve the efficiency of the asset. We expense costs of routine repairs and maintenance as such costs are incurred. We generally compute depreciation using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life or 50 years for buildings, improvements, and permanent plantings, and the shorter of the estimated useful life or 5 to 20 years for equipment and fixtures.
Certain of our acquisitions involve sale-leaseback transactions with newly-originated leases, and other of our acquisitions involve the acquisition of farmland that was already being operated as rental property, in which case we will typically assume the lease in place at the time of acquisition. Most of our acquisitions, including those with a prior leasing history, are generally treated as asset acquisitions under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”).
ASC 805 requires that the purchase price of real estate be allocated to (i) the tangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed (typically consisting of land, buildings, improvements, permanent plantings, and long-term debt) and, if applicable, (ii) any identifiable intangible assets and liabilities (typically consisting of in-place lease values, lease origination costs, the values of above- and below-market leases, and tenant relationships), based in each case on their fair values. In addition, all acquisition-related costs (other than legal costs incurred directly related to either originating new leases we execute upon acquisition or reviewing in-place leases we assumed upon acquisition) are capitalized and included as part of the fair value allocation of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired or liabilities assumed.
Management’s estimates of fair value are made using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers, such as a sales comparison approach, a cost approach, and either an income capitalization approach or discounted cash flow analysis. Factors considered by management in its analysis include an estimate of carrying costs during hypothetical, expected lease-up periods, taking into consideration current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. We also consider information obtained about each property as a result of our pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing, and leasing activities in estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. In estimating carrying costs, management also includes lost reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance, and certain other operating expenses, as well as estimates of lost rental income at market rates during the hypothetical, expected lease-up periods, which typically range from 1 to 24 months, depending on specific local market conditions. Management also estimates costs to execute similar leases, including leasing commissions, legal fees, and other related expenses, to the extent that such costs are not already incurred in connection with a new lease origination as part of the transaction. While management believes these estimates to be reasonable based on the information available at the time of acquisition, the purchase price allocation may be adjusted if management obtains more information regarding the valuations of the assets acquired or liabilities assumed.
We allocate the purchase price to the fair value of the tangible assets and liabilities of an acquired property by valuing the property as if it were vacant. The “as-if-vacant” value is allocated to land, buildings, improvements, and permanent plantings, based on management’s determination of the relative fair values of such assets and liabilities as of the date of acquisition.
We record above- and below-market lease values for acquired properties based on the present value (using a discount rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place lease agreements, and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining, non-cancelable term of the lease. When determining the non-cancelable term of the lease, we evaluate whether fixed-rate or below-market renewal options, if any, should be included. The fair value of capitalized above-market lease values, included as part of Other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, is amortized as a reduction of rental income on a straight-line basis over the remaining, non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. The fair value of capitalized below-market lease values, included as part of Other liabilities in 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, including that of any fixed-price or below-market renewal options.
The value of in-place leases and certain lease origination costs (if any) are amortized to amortization expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining, non-cancelable terms of the respective leases. The value of tenant relationship intangibles, which is the benefit to us resulting from the likelihood of an existing tenant renewing its lease at the existing property or entering into a lease at a different property we own, is amortized to amortization expense over the remaining lease term and any anticipated renewal periods in the respective leases.
Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the above intangible assets or liabilities would be charged to the appropriate income or expense account.
Total consideration for acquisitions may include a combination of cash and equity securities, such as common units of limited partnership interest in our Operating Partnership (“OP Units”). When OP Units are issued in connection with acquisitions, we determine the fair value of the OP Units issued based on the number of units issued multiplied by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of acquisition. We did not issue any OP Units in any of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, or 2023.
Real Estate Impairment Evaluation
We account for the impairment of our real estate assets in accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment” (“ASC 360”), which requires us to periodically review the carrying value of each property to determine whether indicators of impairment exist or if depreciation periods should be modified. In determining if impairment exists, we consider such indicators which may include, but are not limited to: deteriorating market conditions; declines in a property’s operating performance due to near-term lease maturities or vacancy rates; environmental damage, including due to natural disasters or tenant neglect; legal concerns; and whether our hold period has shortened. If circumstances support the possibility of impairment, we prepare a projection of the total undiscounted future cash flows of the specific property (without interest charges), including net proceeds from disposition, if any, and compare them to the net book value of the property to determine whether the carrying value of the property is recoverable. In preparing the projection of undiscounted future cash flows, we estimate cap rates, rental rates, and property values, as applicable, using information that we obtain from market data and other comparable sources, such as recent sales data from comparable properties and broker quotes, and apply the undiscounted cash flows to our expected holding period. If impairment is indicated, the carrying value of the property is written down to its estimated fair value based on our best estimate of the property’s discounted future cash flows using market-derived terms, such as cap rates, discount rates, and rental rates applied to our expected hold period.
Using the methodology discussed above, we evaluated our entire portfolio for any impairment indicators and performed an impairment analysis on select properties that had an indication of impairment. See Note 3, “Real Estate and Lease Intangibles—Impairment,” for further discussion.
Held-for-Sale Property
For properties classified as held-for-sale, we cease depreciating and amortizing the property and related intangible assets and value the property at the lower of depreciated and amortized cost or fair value, less costs to dispose. If the sale meets the definition of discontinued operations, we present the related assets, liabilities, and results of operations that have been sold (or that otherwise qualify as held-for-sale) as discontinued operations in all periods. The definition of discontinued operations is met if the disposal of a component or group of components either meets the held-for-sale criteria or is disposed of and also represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on our operations and financial results. If classified as such, the components of the property’s net income (loss) that are reflected as discontinued operations include operating results, depreciation, amortization, and interest expense.
When properties are considered held-for-sale, but do not qualify as a discontinued operation, we present such assets and liabilities as held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet in all periods that the related assets and liabilities meet the held-for-sale criteria under ASC 360. Components of the held-for-sale property’s net income (loss) are recorded within continuing operations on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. See Note 3, “Real Estate and Lease Intangibles—Real Estate Held for Sale,” for further discussion.
Tenant Improvements
From time to time, our tenants may pay for improvements on certain of our properties with the ownership of the improvements remaining with us, in which case we will record the cost of such improvements as an asset (tenant-funded improvements, included within Investments in real estate, net), along with a corresponding liability (deferred rent liability, included within Other liabilities, net) on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. When we are determined to be the owner of the tenant-funded improvements, such improvements will be depreciated over the useful life in accordance with our depreciation policy noted above, and the related deferred rent liability will be amortized as an addition to rental income over the remaining term of the existing lease in place. If the tenant is determined to be the owner of a tenant improvement funded by us, such amounts are treated as a lease incentive and amortized as a reduction of rental income over the remaining term of the existing lease in place.
In determining whether the tenant or the Company is the owner of such improvements, several factors will be considered, including, but not limited to: (i) whether the improvement’s useful life is greater than the remaining lease term plus any reasonably certain renewal options; (ii) whether the lease allows the tenant to remove the improvements; (iii) whether the improvement is unique to the tenant or useful to subsequent tenants; (iv) whether the improvement adds value to the property or increases the lifespan of the property; and (v) whether the tenant was provided a form of reimbursement or incentive concerning the improvement. The determination of who owns the improvements can be subject to significant judgment.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider cash equivalents to be all short-term, highly-liquid investments that are both readily convertible to cash and have a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase, except that any such investments purchased with funds held in escrow or similar accounts are classified as restricted cash. Items classified as cash equivalents include money-market deposit
accounts. Our cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 were held in the custody of one financial institution (which management believes to be financially sound and with minimal credit risk), and our balance at times may exceed federally-insurable limits. We did not have any restricted cash or cash equivalents as of either December 31, 2025 or 2024.
Crop Inventory and Crop Sales
Crop inventory consists of costs related to crops grown on farms managed by us (via a management agreement with a third-party operator). Such costs are accumulated and capitalized as Crop inventory on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and are charged to cost of products sold as the related crops are harvested and sold.
Revenue from the sale of harvested crops are recognized in accordance with ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASC 606”), when the harvested crops have been delivered to the processing facility and title has transferred and are recorded using the contracted market price on the date of delivery.
See Note 4, “Crop Inventory and Crop Sales,” for further discussion.
Investments in Water Assets
From time to time, we have entered into contracts to acquire additional water assets for certain of our farms (see Note 5, “Investments in Water Assets”). The water assets acquired may be in the form of either water banked at a government municipality or groundwater pumping credits obtained through groundwater recharge programs established by government municipalities, which recharge is achieved via groundwater recharge facilities we have constructed on certain of our farms. The contracts we have entered into to acquire additional water assets cannot readily be net settled by means outside of the respective contracts; therefore, in accordance with ASC 360, we recognize the investments in long-term water assets at cost, including all costs necessary to procure and transfer the water asset to its intended location. Costs to acquire water assets are initially deferred in a prepaid account until such time that the water assets are recognized by the respective water district, at which time, the costs related to the recognized water assets are reclassed and capitalized as an investment in long-term water assets. Investments in long-term water assets and the related prepaid asset are both included in Investments in water assets on our accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. While we may, in the future, sell portions of these water assets to unrelated third parties for a profit, our current intent is to hold these water assets for the long-term for future use on our farms. There is no amount of time by which we must use these water assets.
Each quarter, we will review our investments in water assets for any impairment indicators in accordance with ASC 360 and perform an impairment analysis on those select water assets that have an indication of impairment. In determining if impairment exists, we consider such indicators which may include, but are not limited to, deteriorating market conditions and environmental or regulatory changes. If this analysis indicates that the carrying value may not be recoverable, an impairment loss is recorded in earnings equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we concluded that no water assets were impaired.
Debt Issuance Costs
Debt issuance costs consist of costs incurred to obtain debt financing, including legal fees, origination fees, and administrative fees. Costs associated with our long-term borrowings and term preferred stock securities required to be recorded net of the respective debt for GAAP purposes are deferred and amortized over the terms of the respective financings using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. In the case of our lines of credit, the straight-line method is used due to the revolving nature of the financing instrument. Upon early extinguishment of any borrowings, the unamortized portion of the related deferred financing costs will be immediately charged to expense. In addition, in accordance with ASC 470, “Debt” (“ASC 470”), when a financing arrangement is amended so that the only material change is an increase in the borrowing capacity, the unamortized deferred financing costs from the prior arrangement are amortized over the term of the new arrangement. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, we recorded approximately $1.2 million, $1.0 million, and $1.1 million, respectively, of total amortization expense related to debt issuance costs.
Deferred Offering Costs
We account for offering costs in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5.A., which states that incremental offering costs directly attributable to a proposed or actual offering of securities may be deferred and charged against the gross proceeds of such offering. Accordingly, costs incurred related to our ongoing equity offerings are included in Other assets, net on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and are ratably applied to the cost of equity as the related securities are issued. If an equity offering is subsequently terminated, the remaining, unallocated portion of the related deferred offering
costs are charged to expense in the period such offering is aborted and recorded on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
Other Assets and Other Liabilities
Other assets, net generally consists primarily of net deferred rent assets, rents and other accounts receivable (including receivables related to participation rents and crop sales), net ownership interests in special-purpose LLCs (see “—Investments in Unconsolidated Entities” below for further discussion), the fair value of interest rate swaps if market interest rates are above the fixed rate of the respective swap (see Note 6 “Borrowings—Interest Rate Swap Agreements,” for further discussion), prepaid expenses, operating lease right-of-use assets, deferred offering costs, and unamortized debt issuance costs associated with our lines of credit.
Other liabilities, net generally consists primarily of rents received in advance, net deferred rent liabilities, operating lease liabilities, and the fair value of interest rate swaps if market interest rates are below the fixed rate of the respective swap (see Note 6, “Borrowings—Interest Rate Swap Agreements,” for further discussion).
Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
We determine if an entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in accordance with ASC Topic 810, “Consolidation.” For an entity in which we have acquired an interest, the entity will be considered a VIE if either of the following characteristics are met: (i) the entity lacks sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or (ii) equity holders, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. We evaluate all significant investments in real estate-related assets to determine if they are VIEs, utilizing judgment and estimates that are inherently subjective.
If an entity is determined to be a VIE, we then determine whether to consolidate the entity as the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary has both (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the entity.
See Note 3, “Real Estate and Lease Intangibles—Investments in Unconsolidated Entities,” for further discussion.
Lease Revenue
Lease revenue includes rents that each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of its respective lease, reported evenly over the non-cancelable term of the lease. Most of our leases contain rental increases at specified intervals, which we recognize on a straight-line basis. For leases that are deemed not probable of collection, revenue is recorded as the lesser of (i) the amount that would be recognized on a straight-line basis or (ii) cash that has been received from the tenant (including deferred revenue), with any receivable balances (including deferred rent receivables) charged as a direct write-off against lease revenue in the period of the change in the collectability determination. If the collectability determination for leases for which revenue is being recorded based on cash received from the tenant subsequently changes to being probable, we resume recognizing revenue, including deferred revenue, on a straight-line basis and recognize incremental revenue related to the reinstatement of cumulative deferred rent receivable and deferred revenue balances as if revenue had been recorded on a straight-line basis since the inception of the lease. As of December 31, 2025, three of our leases with three different tenants were recognized on a cash basis due to the full collectability of the remaining rental payments under the respective leases not being deemed probable. Certain other leases provide for additional rental payments that are based on a percentage of the gross crop revenues earned on the farm, which we refer to as participation rents. Such contingent revenue is generally recognized when all contingencies have been resolved and when actual results become known or estimable, enabling us to estimate and/or measure our share of such gross revenues. As a result, depending on the circumstances of each lease, certain participation rents may be recognized by us in the year the crop was harvested, while other participation rents may be recognized in the year following the harvest.
Deferred rent receivable, included in Other assets, net on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, includes the cumulative difference between rental revenue as recorded on a straight-line basis and cash rents received from the tenants in accordance with the lease terms. In addition, we determine, in our judgment, to what extent the deferred rent receivable applicable to each specific tenant is collectable. We perform a quarterly review of the net deferred rent receivable balance as it relates to straight-line rents and take into consideration the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions of the industry in which the tenant operates, and economic and agricultural conditions in the geographic area in which the property is located. In the event that the collectability of deferred rent with respect to any given tenant is in doubt, we record a direct write-off of the specific rent receivable, with a corresponding adjustment to lease revenue.
Tenant recovery revenue includes payments received from tenants as reimbursements for certain operating expenses, such as property taxes, insurance premiums, and water delivery costs. These expenses and their subsequent reimbursements are recognized under property operating expenses as incurred and lease revenue as earned, respectively, and are recorded in the
same periods. We generally do not record any lease revenue or property operating expenses associated with costs paid directly by our tenants for net-leased properties.
Other Operating Revenue
Other operating revenue primarily consists of non-lease and non-crop related revenue generated as a result of activities performed on certain of our properties. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, we recognized approximately $49,000, $453,000, and $79,000 respectively, of non-cash revenue, in the form of groundwater credits, associated with the transfer and storing of surplus water on behalf of others (including a government municipality) using a groundwater recharge facility constructed on one of our farms. The timing of revenue recognition generally occurs once water credits are recognized by the respective water district at the estimated fair value of the resulting water credits. See Note 5, “Investments in Water Assets,” for further discussion.
Gain (loss) on Dispositions of Real Estate Assets
We recognize net gains (losses) on dispositions of real estate assets either upon the abandonment of an asset before the end of its useful life or upon the closing of a transaction (be it an outright sale of a property or the sale of a perpetual, right-of-way easement on all or a portion of a property) with the purchaser. When a real estate asset is abandoned prior to the end of its useful life, a loss is recorded in an amount equal to the net book value of the related real estate asset at the time of abandonment. In the case of a sale of a property, a gain (loss) is recorded to the extent that the total consideration received for a property is more (less) than the property’s net carrying value, plus any closing costs incurred, at the time of the sale. Gains are recognized using the full accrual method (i.e., when the collectability of the sales price is reasonably assured, we are not obligated to perform additional activities that may be considered significant, the initial investment from the buyer is sufficient, and other profit recognition criteria have been satisfied). Gains on sales of real estate assets may be deferred in whole or in part until the requirements for gain recognition have been met.
Other Income
We record non-operating and unusual or infrequent income as Other income on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Other income recorded for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 was primarily from interest patronage received on certain of our long-term borrowings and interest earned on short-term investments.
Involuntary Conversions and Property and Casualty Recovery
We account for involuntary conversions, for example, when a nonmonetary asset, such as property or equipment, is involuntarily converted to a monetary asset, such as insurance proceeds, in accordance with ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition,” which requires us to recognize a gain or a loss equal to the difference between the carrying amount of the nonmonetary asset and the amount of monetary assets received. Further, in accordance with ASC 450, “Contingencies,” recovery of the loss is considered to be probable, we will recognize a receivable for the amount expected to be covered by insurance proceeds, not to exceed the related loss recognized, unless such amounts have been realized.
Income Taxes
We have operated and intend to continue to operate in a manner that will allow us to qualify as a REIT under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and Land Advisers has been treated as a wholly-owned TRS that is subject to federal and state income taxes.
As a REIT, we generally are not subject to federal corporate income taxes on amounts that we distribute to our stockholders (except income from any foreclosure property), provided that, on an annual basis, we distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (excluding net capital gains) to our stockholders and meet certain other conditions. To the extent that we satisfy the annual distribution requirement but distribute less than 100% of our taxable income (including capital gains), we will be subject to corporate income tax on our undistributed taxable income. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates (including any alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for the four immediately-subsequent taxable years. Even as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local income and property taxes and to federal income and excise taxes on undistributed taxable income. In general, however, as long as we qualify as a REIT, no provision for federal income taxes will be necessary, except for taxes on undistributed REIT taxable income, taxes from foreclosure property, and taxes on income generated by a TRS (such as Land Advisers), if any.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we began directly operating two properties (consisting of four farms) that qualify as foreclosure properties under the Code and are therefore subject to corporate income taxes on any income generated. Through December 31, 2025, one of these farms remained in its development stage and has not yet produced any income.
We account for any income taxes in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases (including for net operating loss, capital loss, and tax credit carryforwards) and are calculated using the enacted tax rates and laws expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled; as a REIT, a zero percent tax rate is expected for future realization. In addition, we will establish valuation allowances for tax benefits when we believe it is more-likely-than-not (defined as a likelihood of more than 50%) that such assets will not be realized.
Through December 31, 2025, we have not paid any tax on our foreclosure properties those properties have been producing tax losses. We did not have any federal or state income tax expense (current or deferred) during the year ended December 31, 2024.
We perform an annual review for any uncertain tax positions and, if necessary, will record future tax consequences of uncertain tax positions in the financial statements. An uncertain tax position is defined as a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return that is not based on clear and unambiguous tax law and which is reflected in measuring current or deferred income tax assets and liabilities for interim or annual periods. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had no provisions for uncertain tax provisions. The prior three tax years remain open for an audit by the Internal Revenue Service.
Comprehensive Income
We record the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap agreements that qualify as cash flow hedges to accumulated other comprehensive income. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, we reconciled Net income attributable to the Company to Comprehensive income attributable to the Company on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
Segment Reporting
Our current business strategy includes one operating segment: Real Estate Rental Operations. We generate revenues, earnings, net income, and cash flows through our single segment by collecting rents from our tenants through operating leases, including reimbursements for certain of our property operating costs. We expect to generate earnings growth by increasing rents, maintaining high occupancy rates, and controlling expenses. The primary driver of our revenue growth will be the renewal of existing leases at current market rental rates upon expiration and the acquisition of new properties. We further believe our active portfolio management, combined with the skills of our asset management team, will allow us to maximize net income across our portfolio.
Our CODM is our President and CEO. Our CODM uses net income to make decisions about allocating resources to individual properties and assessing performance. The CODM will sometimes reference other metrics, including net operating income; however, as net income is the measure most consistent with the amounts disclosed in the consolidated financial statements, only net income is disclosed.
Recently-Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income–Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 requires public entities to disaggregate specific types of expenses, including disclosures for depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and selling expenses. The pronouncement is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Prospective application is required, and retrospective application or early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of the requirements on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”), which requires public entities on an annual basis to (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5% of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income or loss by the applicable statutory income tax rate). ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. We adopted ASU 2023-09 on January 1, 2025, and it has not had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Property Acquisitions
We did not acquire any new farms during either of the years ended December 31, 2025 or 2024.
Property Sales
2025 Property Sales
In January 2025, we completed the sale of five farms in Florida totaling 5,630 gross acres for an aggregate sales price of $52.5 million. Including closing costs, we recognized a net gain on the sale of approximately $14.1 million.
In February 2025, we completed the sale of two farms in Nebraska totaling 2,559 gross acres for an aggregate sales price of $12.0 million. Including closing costs, we recognized an aggregate net gain on these sales of approximately $1.6 million.
In August 2025, we completed the sale of two farms in Florida totaling 2,678 gross acres for an aggregate sales price of $21.5 million. Including closing costs, we recognized an aggregate net gain on these sales of approximately $6.0 million.
In December 2025, we completed the following sale transactions:
•the sale of two farms in North Carolina totaling 310 gross acres for an aggregate sales price of approximately $1.0 million. Including closing costs, we recognized an aggregate net loss on these sales of approximately $1.2 million.
•the sale of two farms in Colorado totaling 1,325 gross acres for an aggregate sales price of approximately $8.5 million. Including closing costs, we recognized a net gain on the sale of approximately $0.8 million.
2024 Property Sales
In January 2024, we completed the sale of a 3,748-acre farm in Florida for approximately $65.7 million. Including closing costs, we recognized a net gain on the sale of approximately $10.4 million.
In December 2024, we completed the sale of 11 farms (consisting of 647 gross acres of farmland) in Michigan for approximately $5.0 million. In the third quarter of 2024, we recognized an impairment charge of approximately $2.1 million related to these farms and, upon completing the sale of these farms in December 2024, recognized an aggregate net loss (inclusive of closing costs) of approximately $0.4 million.
Real Estate Held for Sale
No properties were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2025.
As of December 31, 2024, we had three properties (consisting of seven farms) that were classified as held for sale. Each of these properties were sold during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as noted above.
Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
In connection with the acquisition of certain farmland located in Fresno County, California, we also acquired an ownership of a related limited liability company (the “Fresno LLC”), the sole purpose of which is to own and maintain a pipeline conveying water to our and other neighboring properties. In addition, in connection with the acquisition of certain farmland located in Umatilla County, Oregon, we also acquired partial ownership of a related limited liability company (the “Umatilla LLC”), the sole purpose of which is to own and maintain an irrigation system providing water to our and other neighboring properties.
As of December 31, 2025, our aggregate ownership interest in the Fresno LLC and the Umatilla LLC was 50.0% and 20.5%, respectively. As our investments in the Fresno LLC and Umatilla LLC are both deemed to constitute “significant influence,” we have accounted for these investments under the equity method.
During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, we recorded an aggregate loss of approximately $26,000, $60,000, and $59,000, respectively (included in Loss from investments in unconsolidated entities on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income), which represents our pro-rata share of the aggregate loss recognized by the Fresno LLC and Umatilla LLC. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, our combined ownership interest in the Fresno LLC and Umatilla LLC had an aggregate carrying value of approximately $5.7 million and $5.7 million, respectively, and is included within Other assets, net on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Future Minimum Lease Payments
We account for all of our leasing arrangements in which we are the lessor as operating leases. The majority of our leases are subject to fixed rental increases, and a small subset of our lease portfolio includes lease payments based on an index, such as the consumer price index (“CPI”). In addition, several of our leases contain participation rent components based on the gross revenues earned on the respective farms. Most of our leases also include tenant renewal options; however, these renewal options are generally based on then-current market rental rates and are therefore typically excluded from the determination of the minimum lease term. The majority of our leases generally do not include tenant termination options.
The following tables summarize the future net lease payments to be received under noncancellable leases as of December 31, 2025 (dollars in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Period | | Tenant Lease Revenue(1) |
| For the fiscal years ending December 31, | 2026 | | $ | 48,814 | |
| 2027 | | 49,368 | |
| 2028 | | 43,974 | |
| 2029 | | 39,592 | |
| 2030 | | 36,482 | |
| Thereafter | | 104,303 | |
| | | $ | 322,533 | |
(1)Amounts are net of fixed lease incentive payments owed to tenants under certain lease agreements and excludes contingent rental payments, such as participation rents.
Portfolio Concentrations
Credit Risk
As of December 31, 2025, our farms were leased to various different, unrelated third-party tenants, with certain tenants leasing more than one farm. One unrelated tenant (“Tenant A”) leases nine of our farms under leases expiring in 2027. During the year ended December 31, 2025, aggregate lease revenue attributable to Tenant A accounted for approximately $8.1 million (10.7%) of the total lease revenue. If Tenant A fails to make rental payments or elects to terminate their lease prior to its expiration (and we cannot re-lease the farms on satisfactory terms), there could be a material adverse effect on our financial performance. No other individual tenant represented greater than 10.0% of the total lease revenue recorded during the year ended December 31, 2025.
Geographic Risk
Farms located in California and Florida accounted for approximately $50.0 million (65.6%) and $9.0 million (11.8%), respectively, of the total lease revenue recorded during the year ended December 31, 2025. We seek to continue to further diversify geographically, as may be desirable or feasible. If an unexpected natural disaster (such as an earthquake, wildfire, flood, or hurricane) occurs or climate change impacts the regions where our properties are located, there could be a material adverse effect on our financial performance and ability to continue operations. To date, none of our farms have been materially impacted by natural disasters, including the January 2025 wildfires that occurred in southern California. See “—California Floods” and “—Southeastern U.S. Hurricanes” below for a discussion on damage caused on certain of our farms by the January 2023 floods that occurred in California and by the hurricanes that occurred in the Southeastern U.S. in September and October 2024. Besides California and Florida, no other single state accounted for more than 10.0% of the total rental revenue recorded during the year ended December 31, 2025.
California Floods
In January 2023, periods of heavy rainfall in California resulted in floods that impacted several areas of the state, including regions where certain of our farms are located. As a result of the flooding, one of our farms in the Central Valley suffered damage to certain structures located on the farm, and we estimated the carrying value of such structures to be approximately $855,000. As such, during the year ended December 31, 2023, we wrote down the carrying value of these structures and also recorded a corresponding property and casualty loss, included within Property and casualty loss, net on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Certain of our other farms in California suffered minor damage as a result of the floods, but no other farms were materially impacted.
Southeastern U.S. Hurricanes
In September and October 2024, Hurricanes Helene and Milton caused widespread destruction across many states in the Southeastern U.S., including areas where several of our farms are located.
As a result of Hurricane Helene in September 2024, one of our farms in Georgia suffered damage to certain permanent plantings on the farm. At the time, we estimated the carrying value of such plantings to be approximately $275,000, and during the year ended December 31, 2024, we wrote down the carrying value of these plantings and also recorded a corresponding property and casualty loss. During the year ended December 31, 2025, after further inspection of the property, it was determined that the damage was not as extensive as originally estimated, and we recorded an adjustment to our original estimate, which is included within Property and casualty recovery (loss), net on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Certain of our other farms in the region suffered minor damage as a result of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, but no other farms were materially impacted.
Impairment
We evaluate our entire portfolio each quarter for any impairment indicators and perform an impairment analysis on those select properties that have an indication of impairment. If this analysis indicates that the carrying value may not be recoverable, an impairment loss is recorded in earnings equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the asset. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we recognized an aggregate impairment charge of approximately $3.9 million on one property (encompassing two farms) located in St. Lucie County, Florida, and one farm located in Santa Barbara County, California, due to the estimated fair values being lower than the respective carrying values. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized an aggregate impairment charge of approximately $2.1 million on portions of four properties (encompassing a total of 11 farms) located in Allegan and Van Buren, Michigan, due to the estimated fair values being lower than the respective carrying values.
NOTE 4. CROP INVENTORY AND CROP SALES
Crop Inventory
Through certain of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and under a management agreement with a third-party operator, we currently manage a 2,409-acre property (encompassing two farms) located in Kern County, California, which includes 2,293 acres of bearing almond and pistachio orchards. Through December 31, 2025, we accumulated approximately $9.6 million in growing costs related to the crops harvested in 2025, primarily related to irrigation, pest management, fertilization, harvest, and labor. Such costs were initially capitalized and then charged to cost of sales as the related crops were harvested and sold (see “—Crop Sales” below).
In addition, as of December 31, 2025, we had incurred approximately $1.7 million in growing costs related to crops that will be harvested in 2026. We had not incurred any deferred growing costs as of December 31, 2024.
Crop Sales
Revenue from the sale of crops harvested and sold during the year ended December 31, 2025 and the cumulative growing costs incurred for such crops are shown in the following table (dollars in thousands):

(1)The amount of water credits to be granted under these agreements is not yet known; see “—Deferred Water Assets” below for additional information.
(2)As shown on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
SWSD Banked Water
In connection with the acquisition of certain farmland located in Kern County, California, in 2021, we also acquired three contracts providing the right to purchase an aggregate of 45,000 acre-feet of banked water held by Semitropic Water Storage District (“SWSD”), a water storage district located in Kern County, California, at a fixed price. At the time of acquisition, we allocated approximately $31.3 million of aggregate value to these contracts. Subsequently in 2021, we exercised all three contracts and purchased the full 45,000 acre-feet of banked water for an additional aggregate cost of approximately $2.8 million.
In addition, since the initial acquisition, additional contracts to purchase banked water held by SWSD were conveyed to us by one of our tenants as partial consideration for rent payments owed. The following table summarizes the total acre-feet of banked water obtained through the exercise of these contracts (dollars in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Period Acquired | | Acre-feet of Banked Water Available to Purchase per Contract | | Acre-feet of Banked Water Purchased(1) | | Value Attributed to Contract(2) | | Cost to Exercise Contract | | Total Carrying Value of Banked Water Purchased |
| Fourth quarter of 2023 | | 1,003 | | 1,003 | | $ | 401 | | | $ | 62 | | | $ | 463 | |
| First quarter of 2024 | | 2,306 | | 2,306 | | 923 | | | 141 | | | 1,064 | |
| Total | | 3,309 | | 3,309 | | $ | 1,324 | | | $ | 203 | | | $ | 1,527 | |
(1)All contracts to purchase additional banked water were exercised in the same quarter in which the respective contract was conveyed to us.
(2)Represents non-cash income received during the respective periods. The straight-line impact of these receipts is included within Lease revenue, net in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
All banked water acquired was recognized at cost as a long-term water asset, including the subsequent costs to exercise the contracts and any administrative fees necessary to transfer the water to our banked water account.
WWD Groundwater Credits
50/50 Program
From May 2023 through March 2024, we participated in a groundwater recharge program established by Westlands Water District (“WWD”), a water district located in Fresno County, California (the “50/50 Program”). Under the program, WWD funded the delivery of surplus surface water to properties owned by participating landowners with district-approved groundwater recharge facilities (also known as “water banks”). Participating landowners were entitled to retain 50% of the net groundwater credits generated from recharge activities under the program (after accounting for required leave-behind volumes and evaporative losses), with the remaining 50% retained by WWD for aquifer recharge. Deliveries of water under the program were subject to surplus water availability, as determined by WWD in its discretion.
WWD terminated the program for the 2024 water year effective March 5, 2024, and has not renewed it. As a result of the 50/50 Program, we recognized 2,660 acre-feet of water credits as a long-term water asset, representing 50% of the total net water credits generated and confirmed by WWD under the program. In addition, in exchange for recharging and storing surplus water on behalf of WWD, we recognized approximately $0, $453,000, and $79,000 of non-cash revenue for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively, included within Other operating revenue in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. These amounts represent the estimated fair value of the water credits obtained during the respective periods.
Other Agreements
Since 2023, we have entered into various agreements with third parties, including local water districts and private parties, to (i) purchase water directly, (ii) acquire portions of other water districts’ surface water allocations in future years in which allocations are granted, or (iii) store surface water on behalf of others in our groundwater recharge facilities in exchange for a portion of the net groundwater credits generated and recognized by the applicable water district.
To date, water delivered under these agreements has been stored in our water bank located within the WWD service area, and the resulting water credits have been recognized as a long-term water asset at cost. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, we recognized approximately $49,000, $0, and $0, respectively, included within Other operating revenue on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. These amounts represent the estimated fair value of water credits received in exchange for storing water on behalf of third parties during the respective periods.
Deferred Water Assets
We have also invested in certain other programs and agreements that are expected to result in additional groundwater credits in the future; however, the amount and timing of any such credits are currently unknown and are dependent upon, and subject to, recognition by the applicable water districts in their sole discretion. The related costs are recorded in a deferred asset account (included within Investments in water assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets) until the related net water credits become estimable and are recognized by the applicable water district, at which time such costs will be reclassified as long-term water assets (also within Investments in water assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets).
NOTE 6. BORROWINGS
Our borrowings as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 are summarized below (dollars in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Carrying Value as of | | As of December 31, 2025 |
| December 31, 2025 | | December 31, 2024 | | Stated Interest Rates(1) (Range; Wtd Avg) | | Maturity Dates (Range; Wtd Avg) |

| | | | | | | |
| Total borrowings, net | $ | 473,635 | | | $ | 527,522 | | | | | |
(1)Where applicable, stated interest rates are before interest patronage (as described below).
As of December 31, 2025, the above borrowings were collateralized by certain of our farms with an aggregate net book value of approximately $966.4 million. The weighted-average stated interest rate charged on the above borrowings (excluding the impact of debt issuance costs and before any interest patronage, or refunded interest) was 3.80% and 3.82% for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. In addition, 2024 interest patronage from our Farm Credit Notes Payable (as defined below) resulted in a 21.9% reduction (approximately 101 basis points) to the stated interest rates on such borrowings. See below under “—Farm Credit Notes Payables—Interest Patronage” for further discussion on interest patronage.
We generally borrow at a rate of 60% of the value of the underlying agricultural real estate, and, except as noted herein, the amounts borrowed are not generally guaranteed by the Company. Our loan agreements generally contain various covenants, including with respect to liens, indebtedness, mergers, and asset sales, and customary events of default. These agreements may also require that we satisfy certain financial covenants at the end of each calendar quarter or year. Some of these financial covenants include, but are not limited to, staying below a maximum leverage ratio and maintaining a minimum net worth value, rental-revenue-to-debt ratio, current ratio, and fixed charge coverage ratio. As of December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all covenants applicable to the above borrowings.
MetLife Facility
As amended, our credit facility with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (“MetLife”) consists of an aggregate of $75.0 million of revolving equity lines of credit (the “MetLife Lines of Credit”), a $75.0 million long-term note payable (the “2020 MetLife Term Note”), and a $100.0 million long-term note payable (the “2022 MetLife Term Note,” and together with the MetLife Lines of Credit and the 2020 MetLife Term Note, the “MetLife Facility”).
The following table summarizes the pertinent terms of the MetLife Facility as of December 31, 2025 (dollars in thousands, except for footnotes):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Issuance | | Aggregate Commitment | | Maturity Dates | | Principal Outstanding | | Interest Rate Terms | | Undrawn Commitment(1) |
| MetLife Lines of Credit | | $ | 75,000 | | | 12/15/2033 | | $ | 200 | | | 3M SOFR + 2.00% | (2) | $ | 74,800 | |
| 2020 MetLife Term Note | | 75,000 | | (3) | 1/5/2030 | | 35,620 | | | 2.75%, fixed through 1/4/2030 | (4) | 39,380 | |
| 2022 MetLife Term Note | | 100,000 | | (3) | 1/5/2032 | | — | | | (4) | | 100,000 | |
| Totals | | $ | 250,000 | | | | | $ | 35,820 | | | | | $ | 214,180 | |
(1)Based on the properties that were pledged as collateral under the MetLife Facility, as of December 31, 2025, the maximum additional amount we could draw under the facility was approximately $76.9 million.
(2)The interest rate on the MetLife Lines of Credit is subject to a minimum annualized rate of 2.50%, plus an unused fee ranging from 0.10% to 0.20% on undrawn amounts (based on the balance drawn under each line of credit).
(3)If the aggregate commitments under the 2020 MetLife Term Note and the 2022 MetLife Term Note are not fully utilized by December 31, 2026, MetLife has no obligation to disburse the additional funds under either note.
(4)Interest rates on future disbursements under each of the 2020 MetLife Term Note and the 2022 MetLife Term Note will be based on prevailing market rates at the time of such disbursements. In addition, through December 31, 2026, the 2020 MetLife Term Note and the 2022 MetLife Term Note are each subject to an unused fee ranging from 0.10% to 0.20% on undrawn amounts (based on the balance drawn under the respective note).
Under the MetLife Facility, we are generally allowed to borrow up to 60% of the aggregate of the lower of cost or the appraised value of the pool of agricultural real estate pledged as collateral. Amounts owed to MetLife under the MetLife Facility are guaranteed by us and each subsidiary of ours that owns a property pledged as collateral pursuant to the loan documents.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we entered into a new loan agreement with MetLife, as summarized below (dollars in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Date of Issuance | | Amount | | Maturity Date | | Principal Amortization | | Stated Interest Rate | | | | Interest Rate Terms |
| | 4/11/2025 | | $10,600 | (1) | 2/15/2030 | | 28.6 years | | 6.31% | | | | Fixed through 2/14/2028; variable thereafter |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(1)The majority of proceeds from this loan were used to repay a $10.3 million maturing loan that bore interest at 3.85%.
Farmer Mac Facility
Through certain subsidiaries of our Operating Partnership, we have entered into a bond purchase agreement (the “Bond Purchase Agreement”) with Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation (“Farmer Mac”) and Farmer Mac Mortgage Securities Corporation (the “Bond Purchaser”) for a secured note purchase facility (the “Farmer Mac Facility”). As amended from time to time, the Farmer Mac Facility currently provides for bond issuances up to an aggregate amount of $225.0 million. Pursuant to the Bond Purchase Agreement, as further amended on June 2, 2023, we may issue new bonds under the Farmer Mac Facility through December 31, 2026, and the final maturity date for new bonds issued under the facility will be the date that is ten years from the applicable issuance date. We did not issue any new bonds under the Farmer Mac Facility during either of the years ended December 31, 2025 or 2024.
Pursuant to the Bond Purchase Agreement, bonds issued by us to the Bond Purchaser will be secured by a security interest in loans originated by us (pursuant to a pledge and security agreement), which, in turn, will be collateralized by first liens on agricultural real estate owned by subsidiaries of ours. The bonds issued generally have a maximum aggregate, effective loan-to-value ratio of 60% of the underlying agricultural real estate, after giving effect to certain overcollateralization obligations. As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately $22.3 million of bonds issued and outstanding under the Farmer Mac Facility.
Farm Credit Notes Payable
From time to time since September 2014, we, through certain subsidiaries of our Operating Partnership, have entered into various loan agreements (collectively, the “Farm Credit Notes Payable”) with various different Farm Credit associations (collectively, “Farm Credit”). We did not enter into any new loan agreements with Farm Credit during either of the years ended December 31, 2025 or 2024.
Certain amounts owed under the Farm Credit Notes Payable, limited to 12 months of principal and interest due under certain of
the loans, are guaranteed by us pursuant to the respective loan documents.
Interest Patronage
Interest patronage, or refunded interest, on our borrowings from Farm Credit is generally recorded upon receipt and included in Other income in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Receipt of interest patronage typically occurs in the first half of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the respective interest expense is accrued. The following table provides certain information about interest patronage related to interest accrued on the Farm Credit Notes Payable during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 (dollars in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Amount | | Reduction in Interest Rates |
| Received | | (basis points)(1) |
2024 Interest Patronage(2) | $ | 1,819 | | | 101 |
2023 Interest Patronage(3) | 1,993 | | | 101 |
(1)Presented as a reduction in the stated interest rates on such borrowings, shown on a weighted-average basis.
(2)Relates to interest accrued on the Farm Credit Notes Payable during calendar year 2024. Of this amount, approximately $0.1 million was recorded in the third quarter of 2024, and approximately $1.7 million was recorded in the first quarter of 2025.
(3)Relates to interest accrued on the Farm Credit Notes Payable during calendar year 2023. Of this amount, approximately $0.1 million was recorded in the third quarter of 2023, and approximately $1.9 million was recorded in the first quarter of 2024.
Interest patronage is paid at Farm Credit’s discretion, and we are therefore unable to estimate the amount of interest patronage to be received, if any, related to interest accrued during 2025 on the Farm Credit Notes Payable. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the aggregate principal balance of the Farm Credit Notes Payable that were eligible for interest patronage was approximately $144.9 million and $173.5 million, respectively.
Debt Service – Aggregate Maturities
Scheduled principal payments of our aggregate notes and bonds payable as of December 31, 2025, for the succeeding years are as follows (dollars in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Period | | Scheduled Principal Payments |
| For the fiscal years ending December 31: | 2026 | | $ | 17,200 | |
| 2027 | | 50,338 | |
| 2028 | | 76,678 | |
| 2029 | | 152,092 | |
| 2030 | | 93,729 | |
| Thereafter | | 85,315 | |
| | | $ | 475,352 | |
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we repaid approximately $44.2 million of notes and bonds that were scheduled to either mature or reprice. On a weighted-average basis, these borrowings bore interest at a fixed, stated rate of 4.68% and an effective interest rate (after interest patronage) of 4.23%.
Fair Value
ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement (Subtopic 820)” (“ASC 820”), provides a definition of fair value that focuses on the exchange (exit) price of an asset or liability in the principal, or most advantageous, market and prioritizes the use of market-based inputs to the valuation. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements 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 that are based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
•Level 2 — inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active or inactive markets or model-based valuation techniques, for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and
•Level 3 — inputs are generally unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. These unobservable inputs are generally supported by little or no market activity and are based upon management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
As of December 31, 2025, the aggregate fair value of our notes and bonds payable was approximately $453.7 million, as compared to an aggregate carrying value (excluding unamortized related debt issuance costs) of approximately $475.4 million.
The fair value of our long-term notes and bonds payable is valued using Level 3 inputs under the hierarchy established by ASC 820-10 and is determined by a discounted cash flow analysis, using discount rates based on management’s estimates of market interest rates on long-term debt with comparable terms. Further, due to the revolving nature and variable interest rates applicable to the MetLife Lines of Credit, their aggregate fair value as of December 31, 2025, is deemed to approximate their aggregate carrying value of $200,000.
Interest Rate Swap Agreements
In order to hedge our exposure to variable interest rates, we have entered into various interest rate swap agreements in connection with certain of our mortgage financings. In accordance with these swap agreements, we will pay our counterparty a fixed interest rate on a quarterly basis and receive payments from our counterparty equal to the respective stipulated floating rates. We have adopted the fair value measurement provision for these financial instruments, and the aggregate fair value of our interest rate swap agreements is recorded in Other assets, net or Other liabilities, net, as appropriate, on our accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Generally, in the absence of observable market data, we will estimate the fair value of our interest rate swaps using estimates of certain data points, including estimated remaining life, counterparty credit risk, current market yield, and interest rate spreads of similar securities as of the measurement date. In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s fair value measurement guidance, we have made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of our derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio. As of December 31, 2025, our interest rate swaps were valued using Level 2 inputs.
In addition, we have designated our interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is initially recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects. During the next 12 months, we estimate that an additional $1.2 million will be reclassified as a reduction to interest expense.
We had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 (dollars in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Period | | Number of Instruments | | Aggregate Notional Amount |

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features
We have agreements with each of our derivative counterparties that contain a provision where if we default on any of our indebtedness, then we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations. As of December 31, 2025, we did not have any derivatives in a net liability position, nor have we posted any collateral related to these agreements.
NOTE 7. MANDATORILY-REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK
In January 2021, we completed a public offering of 5.00% Series D Cumulative Term Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series D Term Preferred Stock”), at a public offering price of $25.00 per share. As a result of this offering
(including the underwriters’ exercise of their option to purchase additional shares to cover over-allotments), we issued a total of 2,415,000 shares of the Series D Term Preferred Stock for gross proceeds of approximately $60.4 million and net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses borne by us, of approximately $58.3 million. Through January 29, 2026, the Series D Term Preferred Stock was traded under the ticker symbol “LANDM” on Nasdaq.
The shares of the Series D Term Preferred Stock had a mandatory redemption date of January 31, 2026, and were not convertible into our common stock or any other securities. Since January 31, 2023, we were permitted to redeem the shares at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends up to, but excluding, the date of redemption.
We incurred approximately $2.1 million in total offering costs related to this issuance, which were recorded net of the Series D Term Preferred Stock as presented on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and were amortized over the mandatory redemption period as a component of interest expense on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The Series D Term Preferred Stock was recorded as a liability on our accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets in accordance with ASC 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity,” which states that mandatorily-redeemable financial instruments should be classified as liabilities. In addition, the related dividend payments were treated similarly to interest expense on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. For information on the dividends declared by our Board of Directors and paid by us on the Series D Term Preferred Stock during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, see Note 10, “Equity—Distributions.”
Due to the short-term maturity of our Series D Term Preferred Stock, its carrying value (exclusive of unamortized offering costs) of approximately $60.4 million was deemed to approximate its fair value as of December 31, 2025.
Subsequent to December 31, 2025, we redeemed all of our outstanding shares of Series D Term Preferred Stock (see Note 13, “Subsequent Events,” for more information).
NOTE 8. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Our Adviser and Administrator
We are externally managed pursuant to contractual arrangements with our Adviser and our Administrator, which collectively employ all of our personnel and pay their salaries, benefits, and general expenses directly. Both our Adviser and Administrator are affiliates of ours, as their parent company is owned and controlled by David Gladstone, our chairman, chief executive officer, and president. Mr. Gladstone also serves as a director and executive officer of each of our Adviser and Administrator. In addition, Michael LiCalsi, our chief administrative officer, co-general counsel, and co-secretary, also serves in the same roles for our Adviser and Administrator (in addition to serving as our Administrator’s president). Erich Hellmold, our co-general counsel and co-secretary, also serves in the same roles for our Adviser and Administrator.
We have entered into an investment advisory agreement with our Adviser (the “Advisory Agreement”) and an administration agreement with our Administrator (the “Administration Agreement”). Both the Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement were approved unanimously by our Board of Directors, including our independent directors.
Our Board of Directors reviews and considers renewing the agreements with our Adviser and Administrator each July. During its July 2025 meeting, our Board of Directors reviewed and renewed each of the Advisory Agreement and the Administration Agreement for an additional year, through August 31, 2026.
A summary of the compensation terms for the Advisory Agreement and a summary of the Administration Agreement is below.
Advisory Agreement
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, our Adviser is compensated in the form of a base management fee and, each as applicable, an incentive fee, a capital gains fee, and a termination fee. Our Adviser does not charge acquisition or disposition fees when we acquire or dispose of properties, as is common in other externally-managed REITs. Each of the base management, incentive, capital gains, and termination fees is described below.
Base Management Fee
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, a base management fee is paid quarterly and is calculated at an annual rate of 0.60% (0.15% per quarter) of the prior calendar quarter’s “Gross Tangible Real Estate,” defined as the gross cost of tangible real estate owned by us (including land and land improvements, permanent plantings, irrigation and drainage systems, farm-related facilities, and other tangible site improvements), prior to any accumulated depreciation, and as shown on our balance sheet or the notes thereto for the applicable quarter.
Incentive Fee
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, an incentive fee is calculated and payable quarterly in arrears if the Pre-Incentive Fee FFO for a particular quarter exceeded a hurdle rate of 1.75% (7.0% annualized) of the prior calendar quarter’s Total Adjusted Common Equity.
For purposes of this calculation, Pre-Incentive Fee FFO is defined in the Advisory Agreement as FFO (also as defined in the Advisory Agreement) accrued by the Company during the current calendar quarter (prior to any incentive fee calculation for the current calendar quarter), less any dividends declared on preferred stock securities that were not treated as a liability for GAAP purposes. In addition, Total Adjusted Common Equity is defined as common stockholders’ equity plus non-controlling common interests in the Operating Partnership, if any (each as reported on our balance sheet), adjusted to exclude unrealized gains and losses and certain other one-time events and non-cash items.
Our Adviser receives: (i) no incentive fee in any calendar quarter in which the Pre-Incentive Fee FFO does not exceed the hurdle rate; (ii) 100% of the Pre-Incentive Fee FFO with respect to that portion of such Pre-Incentive Fee FFO, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate but was less than 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized); and (iii) 20% of the amount of the Pre-Incentive Fee FFO, if any, that exceeds 2.1875% in any calendar quarter (8.75% annualized).
Capital Gains Fee
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, a capital gains-based incentive fee is calculated and payable in arrears at the end of each fiscal year (or upon termination of the Advisory Agreement). The capital gains fee shall equal: (i) 15% of the cumulative aggregate realized capital gains minus the cumulative aggregate realized capital losses, minus (ii) any aggregate capital gains fees paid in prior periods. For purposes of this calculation, realized capital gains and losses will be calculated as (x) the sales price of the property, minus (y) any costs to sell the property and the then-current gross value of the property (which includes the property’s original acquisition price plus any subsequent, non-reimbursed capital improvements). At the end of each fiscal year, if this figure is negative, no capital gains fee shall be paid.
Termination Fee
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, in the event of our termination of the agreement with our Adviser for any reason (with 120 days’ prior written notice and the vote of at least two-thirds of our independent directors), a termination fee would be payable to the Adviser equal to three times the sum of the average annual base management fee and incentive fee earned by the Adviser during the 24-month period prior to such termination.
Administration Agreement
Pursuant to the Administration Agreement, we pay for our allocable portion of the Administrator’s expenses incurred while performing its obligations to us, including, but not limited to, rent and the salaries and benefits expenses of our Administrator’s employees, including our chief financial officer, treasurer, chief compliance officer, co-general counsels and co-secretaries, and their respective staffs.
As approved by our Board of Directors, our allocable portion of the Administrator’s expenses is generally derived by multiplying our Administrator’s total expenses by the approximate percentage of time the Administrator’s employees perform services for us in relation to their time spent performing services for all companies serviced by our Administrator under similar contractual agreements.
Gladstone Securities
We have entered into an agreement with Gladstone Securities, LLC (“Gladstone Securities”), for it to act as our non-exclusive agent to assist us with arranging financing for our properties (the “Financing Arrangement Agreement”). Gladstone Securities is a privately-held broker-dealer and a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation. Gladstone Securities is an affiliate of ours, as its parent company is owned and controlled by Mr. Gladstone, who also serves on the board of managers of Gladstone Securities. In addition, Mr. LiCalsi serves in several capacities for Gladstone Securities, including as its chief legal officer, co-secretary, a member of its board of managers, and a managing principal. Erich Hellmold, our co-general counsel and co-secretary, also serves as Gladstone Securities’ co-secretary.
Financing Arrangement Agreement
We pay Gladstone Securities a financing fee in connection with the services it provides to us for securing financing on our properties. Depending on the size of the financing obtained, the maximum amount of the financing fee, which will be payable upon closing of the respective financing, will range from 0.5% to 1.0% of the amount of financing obtained. The amount of the financing fee may be reduced or eliminated as determined by us and Gladstone Securities after taking into consideration various factors, including, but not limited to, the involvement of any unrelated third-party brokers and general market conditions.
During the year ended December 31, 2025 we paid financing fees to Gladstone Securities of $15,000. We did not pay any financing fees to Gladstone Securities during either of the years ended December 31, 2024 or 2023. Through December 31, 2025, the total amount of financing fees paid to Gladstone Securities represented approximately 0.14% of the total financings secured since the Financing Arrangement Agreement has been in place.
Dealer-Manager Agreement
We have entered into a dealer-manager agreement with Gladstone Securities (the “Dealer-Manager Agreement”), pursuant to which Gladstone Securities served as our exclusive dealer-manager in connection with the offering of our 5.00% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series E Preferred Stock”).
Pursuant to the Dealer-Manager Agreement, Gladstone Securities provided certain sales, promotional, and marketing services to us in connection with the offering of the Series E Preferred Stock, and we generally paid Gladstone Securities for the following:
i.selling commissions of up to 7.0% of the gross proceeds from sales in the offering (the “Selling Commissions,”), and
ii.a dealer-manager fee of 3.0% of the gross proceeds from sales in the offering (the “Dealer-Manager Fees,”).
Gladstone Securities, in its sole discretion, was permitted to remit all or a portion of the Selling Commissions and also reallow all or a portion of the Dealer-Manager Fees to participating broker-dealers and wholesalers in support of the offering. The terms of the Dealer-Manager Agreements were approved by our Board of Directors, including all of our independent directors.
The following tables summarizes the total Selling Commissions and Dealer-Manager Fees paid to Gladstone Securities during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 (dollars in thousands):

Ground Lease Obligations
In connection with certain farms acquired through leasehold interests, we assumed certain ground lease arrangements under which we are the lessee. These operating ground leases have lease expiration dates ranging from June 2028 through December 2041, and none of these leases contain any extension, renewal, or termination options. At lease commencement, the net present value of the minimum lease payments was determined by discounting the respective future minimum lease payments using a discount rate equivalent to our fully-collateralized borrowing rate ranging from 6.37% to 8.72%.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we recorded the following as a result of these operating ground leases (dollars in thousands, except for footnotes):
| | | | | | | | | | | |

As a result of these ground leases, we recorded lease expense (included within Property operating expenses on the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income) of approximately $105,000, $105,000, and $103,000 during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
Litigation
In the ordinary course of business, we may be involved in legal proceedings from time to time. We are not currently subject to any material known or threatened litigation.
NOTE 10. EQUITY
Registration Statement
On March 28, 2023, we filed a universal registration statement on Form S-3, as amended (File No. 333-270901), with the SEC (the “2023 Registration Statement”) to replace our prior universal registration statement. The 2023 Registration Statement, which was declared effective by the SEC on April 13, 2023, and expires on April 12, 2026, permits us to issue up to an aggregate of $1.5 billion in securities consisting of common stock, preferred stock, warrants, debt securities, depository shares, subscription rights, and units, including through separate, concurrent offerings of two or more securities. Through December 31, 2025, we have issued a total of 176,595 shares of Series E Preferred Stock for gross proceeds of approximately $4.4 million and 2,300,936 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $23.9 million under the 2023 Registration Statement. See Note 13, “Subsequent Events,” for equity issuances completed subsequent to December 31, 2025.
Equity Issuances
Series C Preferred Stock
On April 3, 2020, we filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC for a continuous public offering of our 6.00% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”), which permitted us to sell up to 10,200,000 shares of our Series C Preferred Stock on a “reasonable best efforts” basis through Gladstone Securities at an offering price of $25.00 per share (the “Primary Series C Offering”) and up to 200,000 additional shares pursuant to our dividend reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”) at a price of $22.75 per share. The Primary Series C Offering terminated on December 31, 2022, with substantially all of the allotted 10,200,000 shares being sold, and the DRIP was terminated effective March 22, 2023.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, we issued 14,069 shares of the Series C Preferred Stock pursuant to the DRIP, and 48,913 shares of the Series C Preferred Stock were tendered for optional redemption, which we satisfied with aggregate cash payments of approximately $1.2 million. We listed the Series C Preferred Stock on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “LANDP,” and trading commenced on June 8, 2023.
Series E Preferred Stock
On November 9, 2022, we filed a prospectus supplement with the SEC for a continuous public offering (the “Series E Offering”) of up to 8,000,000 shares of our Series E Preferred Stock, on a “reasonable best efforts” basis through Gladstone Securities at an offering price of $25.00 per share. See Note 8, “Related-Party Transactions—Gladstone Securities—Dealer-Manager Agreement,” for a discussion of the commissions and fees paid to Gladstone Securities in connection with the Series E Offering.

In conjunction with the termination of the Series E Offering, during the year ended December 31, 2025, we expensed approximately $547,000 of unamortized deferred offering costs. These costs were recorded to Write-off of costs associated with offering of Series E cumulative redeemable preferred stock on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income during the year ended December 31, 2025.
