The earnings call reflects a challenging period for Gladstone Land, with net income and FFO declines, significant NAV reduction, and challenges in the permanent crop sector. However, there are positive aspects such as lease execution and increased participation rents, indicating a mixed outlook.
Company Guidance
During the Q3 2024 earnings call for Gladstone Land Corporation, the executive team provided comprehensive guidance on various financial metrics. They discussed the company's current holdings of approximately 112,000 acres across 168 farms and 54,000 acre-feet of water assets, collectively valued at $1.5 billion. The leasing activity was highlighted, mentioning 21 new or amended leases expected to increase net operating income by $309,000, or 11%. Adjustments in lease structures for certain permanent crop farms were made to alleviate tenants' fixed costs, with anticipated net operating income decreasing by about $441,000 from prior leases. Financially, the company reported a net income of $6,000 and a net loss to common shareholders of $5.8 million. Adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) stood at $4.5 million, resulting in a per-share amount of $0.13, down from $0.15 in the previous quarter. Additionally, the net asset value per common share declined from $17.59 to $15.57, primarily due to revaluation of permanent crop farms. The company is anticipating a $20 million swing in fixed base rents over the next five quarters, transitioning to participation rents by the second half of 2025.
Active Leasing and Revenue Increase
Since the beginning of the third quarter, 21 new or amended leases were executed across 8 states, resulting in an aggregate increase in net operating income of approximately $309,000 or 11% over prior leases.
Participation Rent Increase
Participation rents increased by $1.1 million during the quarter, largely driven by stronger production at pistachio farms.
Strong Liquidity Position
Gladstone Land has access to over $160 million in liquidity, including $20 million in cash on hand, with 99.9% of borrowings at fixed rates averaging 3.4% for another 3.7 years.
