Gladstone Land Q2 2025: Shifting to Participation Rents, Maintaining 6.1% Yield

Gladstone Land reported a $17M shift to participation rents while maintaining a 6.1% yield in Q2 2025. The company managed 103,000 acres across 150 farms with over 55,000 acre-feet of water assets. CEO David John Gladstone emphasized caution, highlighting the company's focus on sustainable agriculture and water management.

Gladstone Land Corp. (NASDAQ: LAND) reported its second-quarter (Q2) 2025 financial results, revealing a significant shift in revenue recognition timing. The company reported a net loss of $7.9 million, with a net loss per share of $0.38, compared to $0.19 in Q2 2024. Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO) was negative $3.4 million, or $0.10 per share, compared to $3.7 million, or $0.10 per share, in the prior year.

Gladstone Land has modified lease agreements on six farms, reducing fixed base rents in exchange for higher participation rents. This change led to a $6.8 million reduction in fixed base cash rents, primarily impacting the company's revenue recognition. The company expects to recognize the majority of 2025 revenue in Q4, when crop results materialize, creating heightened earnings volatility and increased dependence on crop performance.

Despite the shift, Gladstone Land maintained a 6.1% annualized yield on its monthly dividend for Q3 2025, at $0.467 per share. The company's strong liquidity position, with over $150 million in available capital and $165 million in unencumbered properties, provides a buffer against potential challenges.

Gladstone Land managed 103,000 acres across 150 farms, with over 55,000 acre-feet of water assets, ensuring long-term water security for its farms. CEO David John Gladstone emphasized the company's focus on sustainable agriculture and water management, highlighting the importance of these resources in maintaining the company's operations.
