Gladstone Land Corporation: Form 10-Q for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2024

Gladstone Land Corporation has filed its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. The company is a large accelerated filer and has filed all required reports during the preceding 12 months. The number of shares of the company’s common stock outstanding as of May 6, 2024, is 35,838,442.

Financial Performance

  • Revenue for the quarter was $20.3 million, down 4.5% from $21.2 million in the same quarter last year. This was mainly due to the sale of one farm in January 2024.

  • Net income was $13.6 million, up significantly from $1.8 million in the same quarter last year. This was primarily driven by a $10.4 million gain on the sale of a farm.

  • Operating income was $7.3 million, down slightly from $7.4 million in the same quarter last year.

Revenue and Profit Trends

  • Same-property revenue has remained relatively flat, indicating stable performance of existing properties.

  • Revenue from vacant or non-performing properties was down over 80%, but the company is working to lease or sell these properties.

  • Excluding one-time items, profits are stable compared to last year.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths:

  • Significant portfolio diversification across states, crops, and tenants
  • 99.9% of debt is fixed-rate, protecting against interest rate increases
  • Reasonable debt maturity schedule

Weaknesses:

  • 20 properties currently vacant or non-performing
  • Limited availability under credit facilities to fund new acquisitions

Outlook

  • Actively pursuing acquisitions of additional farms
  • Expect to lease or sell vacant properties within 6 months
  • Well-positioned to weather volatility given fixed-rate debt and long debt maturity schedule
