Loans

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2023

Farmer Mac classifies loans as either held for investment or held for sale. Loans held for investment are recorded at the unpaid principal balance, net of unamortized premium or discount and other cost basis adjustments. Loans held for sale are reported at the lower of cost or fair value determined on a pooled

basis. As of both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, Farmer Mac had no loans held for sale.

Under the Agricultural Finance line of business, Farmer Mac has two segments – Farm & Ranch and Corporate AgFinance. The segments are characterized by similarities in risk attributes and the manner in which Farmer Mac monitors and assesses credit risk.

The following table includes loans held for investment and displays the composition of the loan balances as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

(1)As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, allowance for losses for Agricultural Finance Farm & Ranch loans includes $1.1 million and no allowance for collateral dependent assets secured by agricultural real estate, respectively.

(2)As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, allowance for losses for Agricultural Finance Corporate AgFinance loans includes $4.6 million and $1.2 million allowance for collateral dependent assets secured by agricultural real estate, respectively.

(3)As of both June 30, 2023 and 2022, allowance for losses for Rural Infrastructure Finance loans includes no allowance for collateral dependent assets.

The $0.7 million net provision to the allowance for the Rural Infrastructure Finance portfolio during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to increased telecommunications loan volume. The $0.3 million net provision to the allowance for the Agricultural Finance mortgage loan portfolio during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to increased storage and processing loan volume.

The $2.9 million net release from the allowance for the Rural Infrastructure Finance portfolio during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to an updated estimate of expected losses based on newly available loss-given-default industry data. The $4.5 million net provision to the allowance for the Agricultural Finance mortgage loan portfolio during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily attributable to declining valuation of a single agricultural storage and processing loan, due to its ongoing bankruptcy proceedings, and an updated estimate of expected losses based on additional availability of loss-given-default industry data. See Note 12 ("Subsequent Event") to the consolidated financial statements for more information about this loan based on events that occurred after June 30, 2023.

The net release from the allowance for Rural Infrastructure Finance loan losses of $1.2 million recorded

during second quarter 2022 was primarily attributable to updated credit loss model forecast assumptions

and improvements in risk ratings. The $0.1 million net provision to the allowance for the Agricultural

Finance mortgage loan portfolio during second quarter 2022 was primarily attributable to a risk rating

downgrade on a single agricultural storage and processing loan.

The $2.2 million net release from the allowance for the Rural Infrastructure Finance portfolio for the six

months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to the updated credit loss model forecast

assumptions mentioned above and a first quarter risk rating upgrade on a single loan. The risk rating

upgrade on that loan reflected that borrower's successful securitization of its large payable that arose

during the arctic freeze that struck Texas in February 2021. The $0.7 million net provision to the

allowance for the Agricultural Finance mortgage loan portfolio for the six months ended June 30, 2022

was primarily attributable to a risk rating downgrade on a single agricultural storage and processing loan.
