LOANS LOANS
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 June 30, 2025, Farmer Mac had $7.8 million of loans held for sale and $6.2 million as of December 31, 2024.

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 loans held for sale and displays the composition of the loan balances as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

(1)As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, the allowance for losses for Agricultural Finance Farm & Ranch loans includes $1.7 million and $1.2 million allowance for collateral dependent assets secured by agricultural real estate, respectively.
(2)As of June 30, 2025 and 2024, the allowance for losses for Agricultural Finance Corporate AgFinance loans includes $1.0 million and $0.0 million allowance for collateral dependent assets secured by agricultural real estate, respectively.
(3)As of both June 30, 2025 and 2024, the allowance for losses for Infrastructure Finance loans includes no allowance for collateral dependent assets.

The $5.0 million net provision to the allowance for the Agricultural Finance mortgage loan portfolio during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to two individual Farm & Ranch borrowers, one with a permanent planting loan and the other a crop loan. During second quarter 2025, we recorded a charge-off of $2.8 million related to these two specific borrower relationships to reflect the amount of each loan that we deemed uncollectible. The remaining net provision was related to credit downgrades and declining economic forecast factors.

The $2.7 million net provision to the allowance for the Infrastructure Finance portfolio during the quarter ended June 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to two borrowers that were downgraded, one within Renewable Energy and one within Broadband Infrastructure, as well as new volume growth in those operating segments.

The $5.8 million net provision to the allowance for the Agricultural Finance mortgage loan portfolio during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to the factors noted above, along with new volume growth.

The $3.7 million net provision to the allowance for the Infrastructure Finance portfolio during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to new volume growth and the two downgrades noted above.

The $0.6 million net provision to the allowance for the Infrastructure Finance portfolio during the
quarter ended June 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to renewable energy loans that extended their preconstruction phase, which has higher expected loss assumptions than their operating phase. The
$5.6 million net provision to the allowance for the Agricultural Finance mortgage loan portfolio during the
quarter ended June 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to a permanent planting loan that is in bankruptcy
and of which $3.9 million was deemed uncollectible. Accordingly, a charge-off in the amount of $3.9 million was recorded in connection with that loan. The remaining provision during the quarter was
attributable to increased loan volume.

The $1.3 million net release from the allowance for the Infrastructure Finance portfolio during the
six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to a single telecommunications loan that
completed a restructuring during first quarter, which resulted in an improved collateral position and a
paydown of approximately 15% of its previously unpaid principal balance. The $5.8 million net provision
to the allowance for the Agricultural Finance mortgage loan portfolio during the six months ended
June 30, 2024 was primarily attributable to the permanent planting loan mentioned above and increased
loan volume.
