Improved AFFO and Strong Q4 Performance
AFFO was $17.9 million for FY2025 and $11.4 million for Q4 2025 (or $0.39 and $0.26 per weighted average share, respectively), which management reported as higher than the same periods in 2024. Management described Q4 as very strong and noted seasonality contributed to strong Q4 revenue recognition.
Dividend Increase
Quarterly common dividend increased by 50% to $0.09 per share, driven by increased AFFO and management's confidence in cash flow sustainability.
Balance Sheet Simplification — Preferred Redemption
Redeemed remaining 68,000 Series A preferred units in February 2026, removing the common stock overhang, simplifying capital structure and reducing senior claims to common shareholders.
Debt Reduction and Interest Expense Savings
Significant debt reductions since October 2024 resulted in a $9.2 million reduction in interest expense year over year; management emphasized lower leverage and improved liquidity.
Liquidity and Credit Capacity
Undrawn capacity on lines of credit was approximately $164.0 million at 12/31/2025 and about $111.7 million as of the call (net borrowing used to redeem preferred). Farmer Mac facility was successfully amended and increased from $75.0 million to $89.6 million.
Sale of Non-Core Business (MWA) and Ongoing Market Access
Sold Murray Wise (brokerage/auction/asset management subsidiary) to People's Company, reducing G&A and simplifying operations while maintaining a close working relationship to preserve market intelligence.
Loan Program Growth and Strong Returns
FPI loan program activity increased; management expects the loan program to be steady or grow, benefiting from countercyclical demand. One loan repriced in January at 5.19% and management expects refinancings around ~5.3% for Term Loan #1.
Selective Dispositions and Realized Asset Gains
Active disposition program with emphasis on portfolio optimization (notably California). Management noted many Illinois assets are up 30%+ since purchase and will sell opportunistically to realize gains and distribute to shareholders.
