Farmland Partners Inc. New Standards Disclosure
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. Among other things, these amendments require that public business entities on an annual basis (i) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation, and (ii) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income or loss by the applicable statutory income tax rate). The amendments require that all entities disclose on an annual basis (i) the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign taxes, (ii) the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid (net of refunds received) is equal to or greater than 5 percent of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received), (iii) income (loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and foreign, and (iv) income tax expense (benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal, state, and foreign. The ASU is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is in the process of assessing the effect of this update on the consolidated financial statement disclosures.
The FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (Subtopic 220-40) in November 2024. The purpose of the ASU is to improve the disclosures about an entity’s expenses and to address requests from investors for more transparent information about certain types of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and depletion) included within expense captions presented on the face of the income statement (such as cost of sales, SG&A, and research and development). The new standard requires these disclosures to be presented in tabular format within the notes to the financial statements and does not change the requirements for the presentation of expenses on the face of the income statement. The ASU is effective for public business entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026. The Company is in the process of assessing the effect of this update on the consolidated financial statement disclosures.

About New Standards Disclosures
New accounting standards disclosures describe recently adopted pronouncements and those not yet effective, along with management's assessment of their expected impact. This section provides an early warning system for upcoming changes to how a company reports its financial results, often years before the new rules take effect.
Key signals: when management describes a not-yet-adopted standard's impact as "material" or "still being evaluated," it signals potential significant changes to reported metrics upon adoption. Watch for standards that affect a company's core operations — for example, revenue recognition changes for software companies or lease accounting changes for retailers with large store footprints. The transition method chosen (full retrospective versus modified retrospective) affects comparability with prior periods. Companies that delay adoption to the latest permitted date may be struggling with implementation complexity. Compare the disclosed impact assessments against peers in the same industry to gauge whether management's expectations are reasonable.
