• Decreased Operating Cash Flow

  Net cash provided by operating activities significantly declined to $6.993 million in 2025 from $29.548 million in 2024, primarily due to lower cash receipts from property sales and lease modifications.

• Increased Property Impairment Charges

  The company recognized aggregate impairment charges of $3.9 million in 2025, up from $2.1 million in 2024, on properties in Florida and California due to estimated fair values being lower than carrying values.

Gladstone Land Corporation's annual report reveals a challenging financial year marked by continued net losses attributable to common stockholders and a decline in Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) per share from $0.47 in 2024 to $0.39 in 2025. Cash flow from operating activities also saw a substantial decrease. To address capital needs, the company engaged in significant At-The-Market (ATM) equity raises, selling 5,253,748 common shares for $50.351 million from January 2025 through February 2026. This represents a notable dilution of approximately 12.68% of the current outstanding common shares. While the company successfully generated $21.3 million in net gains from property sales in 2025 and maintained a strong fixed-rate debt profile, the ongoing reliance on dilutive equity raises and declining per-share profitability metrics signal persistent operational and financial pressures. The redemption of Series D Preferred Stock, previously announced, further highlights capital restructuring efforts.
