Forward guidance

Company is working through issues with a few of its tenants. Company currently has five properties that are vacant and is in discussions with various groups to either buy or lease these farms, and the company hopes to have these situations resolved during the first half of the year. The high borrowing costs continue to impact their ability to purchase new farms.

Tailwinds

  • Balance sheet remains strong, with nearly 100% of borrowings at fixed rates, significantly limiting the impact of increased interest rates.
  • Focusing efforts on securing additional water rights for farms in California by taking advantage of surplus water supplies and storing water for future use on our farms.

Headwinds

  • Results for the quarter were largely as expected but remained slightly down from last year as we continue to work through issues with a few of our tenants.
  • Currently have five properties (encompassing 15 of our 168 farms) that are vacant.
  • High borrowing costs continue to impact our ability to purchase new farms.
