Steven Dumanski's questions to Gladstone Land Corp (LAND) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
Steven Dumanski from Janney Montgomery Scott asked about the outlook for property dispositions given the high cost of capital for potential buyers and questioned the reason for the quarter-over-quarter decrease in the company's owned acre-feet of water.
Answer
CEO David Gladstone explained that while potential buyers exist, they are seeking significant discounts, which the company is not willing to accept. He noted strong interest in their Florida properties for housing development but prefers to hold income-producing assets. CFO Lewis Parrish clarified that the minor decrease in water assets (44 acre-feet) was due to using a small amount of stored water to irrigate trees during a tenant transition while waiting for wells to be transferred.
