Exhibit 99.1

Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements

 On October 16, 2024, Farmland Partners Inc. (“FPI” or the “Company”) completed the sale of a portfolio of 46 farms comprising 41,554 acres of farmland located in Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, Oklahoma, North Carolina and South Carolina (the “Portfolio”) for an aggregate purchase price of $289 million in a single transaction (the “Transaction”) to Farmland Reserve, Inc., a Utah nonprofit corporation, pursuant to the terms of the purchase and sale agreement entered into on October 2, 2024.  

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements of FPI, collectively with its subsidiaries, each giving effect to the Transaction, are included herein:

 

Unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024;

Unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for six months ended June 30, 2024; and

Unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023;

The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024 is presented as if the Transaction closed on June 30, 2024. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2023 have been presented as if the Transaction occurred on January 1, 2023.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements presented below have been derived from FPI’s historical consolidated financial statements. While the historical consolidated financial statements reflect the past financial results of FPI, the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to represent or be indicative of FPI’s financial position or results of operations had the Transaction been completed as of the beginning of the earliest period presented, nor are they indicative of FPI’s future financial condition or results of operations.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements reflect the transaction accounting adjustments necessary to account for the Transaction. The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and assumptions that FPI’s management believes are reasonable, factually supportable and directly attributable to the Transaction. The actual financial position and results of operations of FPI could differ materially from these estimates. Additional information about the pro forma adjustments can be found in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with (i) the historical audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in FPI’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, (ii) the historical unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in FPI’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and (iii) other information regarding the Transaction and FPI included in FPI’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time.
