Forward guidance

Gladstone Land anticipates acquisition activity to remain slow for the rest of 2022 and likely into 2023. The company is proactively securing water availability for its farms and is well-protected against further interest rate increases with over 99% of borrowings fixed for the next five-plus years. Gladstone Land expects strong demand for food and crop pricing to continue.

Tailwinds

  • Company had a strong quarter from an operational standpoint.
  • Participation rents allowed the company to increase top-line revenues while keeping property-operating expenses relatively flat.
  • Fortunate to have made it through Hurricane Ian with only minor damage covered by insurance.
  • All of the permanent plantings owned have sufficient water.
  • Over 99% of borrowings fixed for the next five-plus years, protecting against further interest rate increases.

Headwinds

  • Acquisition activity has been slower this year and is expected to remain slow for the rest of 2022 and likely into 2023.
  • Acting conservatively with capital and being more selective with acquisitions due to increased interest rates and overall uncertainty within the economy.
  • Monitoring the ongoing drought situation in the West.
  • Working with tenants to take proactive measures to try to secure as much water availability as possible.
  • Inflation continues to hover near the highest rates seen in over 40 years.
