**【CEO Summary Section】**
- Farmer Mac reported record third-quarter results with net effective spread of $97.8 million and core earnings of $49.6 million, driven by diversification into high-margin segments like renewable energy and broadband infrastructure. CEO Brad Nordholm emphasized the company's ability to navigate market volatility through disciplined capital management and strategic growth. The total outstanding business volume reached $31.1 billion, up $500 million from the prior quarter. Key highlights include:
  - **Infrastructure Finance Growth**: The infrastructure finance segment grew by $600 million to $11 billion, reflecting increased demand for rural connectivity and renewable energy projects. The renewable energy portfolio doubled year-over-year to $2.3 billion, supported by tax credit incentives and long-term contracts. 
  - **Capital Strength**: The company's Tier 1 capital ratio improved to 13.9%, exceeding regulatory requirements by $723 million. A $100 million preferred stock issuance in August bolstered liquidity and capital resilience.
  - **Efficiency Ratio**: Maintained an efficiency ratio below 30%, reflecting strong cost control despite headcount expansion for high-margin business lines.

**【CFO Financial Commentary】**
- **Core Earnings Growth**: Year-to-date core earnings of $143 million (up 20% YoY) were driven by higher average loan balances and strategic portfolio diversification. The shift to higher-spread businesses contributed to margin expansion.
- **Credit Management**: Provision expense of $7.4 million reflected episodic risks in California groundwater regulation and new segment growth. The allowance for credit losses remained stable at 12 basis points of outstanding volume.
- **Capital Allocation**: Repurchased $5 million of common stock in Q3, balancing growth investments with shareholder returns. The company anticipates a second securitization transaction in Q4 to optimize capital deployment.

**【Q&A Highlights】**
- **Spread Outlook**: CFO Brad Nordholm clarified that Farmer Mac's net effective spread is insulated from interest rate volatility due to its asset-liability management framework. The company targets a stable 1.2% spread driven by infrastructure finance accretion.
- **Tariff Impact**: While headline risks in soybean markets have pressured sentiment, diversified commodity exposure across 100+ ag sectors cushions overall portfolio resilience. Market stabilization payments are expected to flow in Q4.
- **Credit Cycle Resilience**: The company's CECL model reflects prudent risk management, with no systemic stress signals in the portfolio. California groundwater regulation impacts were isolated to specific loans, with no material impact on overall credit quality metrics.
