Tabular List [Table Text Block]

Most Important Measures to Determine 2022 CAP

In Farmer Mac’s assessment, the seven metrics listed below represent the most important financial performance measures that Farmer Mac used to link each NEO’s compensation to Farmer Mac’s performance in 2022. Each of the listed financial measures was either used in the balanced “scorecard” to determine annual short-term incentive compensation awards for performance in 2022 or to determine the vesting of long-term performance-based RSUs that vested in 2022:

 

Earnings (Core Earnings before Credit)
Total Revenues
Business Volume
Ratio of Substandard Assets to Regulatory Capital
Compliance with applicable capital requirements
Net charge-offs
90-day delinquencies

These measures are not listed or ranked in any particular order and are further described above in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Approach to Incentive Compensation,” “—Total Compensation Elements—Annual Cash Incentive Compensation” and “—Total Compensation Elements—Long-Term Incentive Compensation.” Although it is always a challenge to narrow down to a few measures, the Compensation Committee chose these measures because they most closely represent the business goals established by the Board and management for 2022 and balance the need for business volume growth, earnings, disciplined underwriting, high credit quality, and continued financial stability with the enhancement of stockholder value. Farmer Mac believes that Earnings (sometimes referred to as Core Earnings before Credit) is the most important financial performance measure tied to executive compensation. Earnings is used to determine 25% of annual short-term incentive compensation awards and most appropriately reflects Farmer Mac’s overall performance over the short-term. Cumulative three-year Earnings is also the primary measure used to determine the vesting of performance-based RSUs granted to the NEOs in 2022 and 2023.

[1] Mr. Nordholm served as the PEO in all three years presented. The Non-PEO NEOs included for 2021 and 2022 consisted of Ms. Ramesh, Mr. Carpenter, Mr. Crady, and Mr. Mullery. The Non-PEO NEOs included for 2020 consisted of Ms. Ramesh, Mr. Carpenter, Mr. Mullery, and former executive officer John C. Covington.
[2] To calculate CAP, the amounts shown below were deducted from and added to total compensation shown in the SCT. Farmer Mac has no pension plans or other defined benefit programs that affect the recalculation of the compensation disclosed under the SCT. Dividend equivalents paid in cash on vested RSUs are already included in the SCT totals for the PEO and the other NEOs.
[3] Farmer Mac’s TSR is based on the performance of its Class C Non-Voting Common Stock.
[4] Farmer Mac selected the companies included in the S&P 500 Diversified Financials Index as the peer group to show a peer group TSR compared to Farmer Mac’s TSR. Farmer Mac has presented the performance of the S&P 500 Diversified Financials Index in the performance graphs included in its annual reports to stockholders since 2007. Farmer Mac’s relative performance against the S&P 500 Diversified Financials Index is also one of the metrics used in the March 9, 2023 award of performance-based RSUs to Mr. Nordholm designed to retain him as Farmer Mac’s PEO through early 2026 and to reward performance.
[5] As described in more detail in the CD&A, “Earnings” (sometimes referred to as “Core Earnings Before Credit”) is the non-GAAP financial measure of “core earnings” reported by Farmer Mac, excluding the after-tax effects of provisions for losses, gains or losses on fair value, or sale of REO property. See “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Approach to Incentive Compensation—Short-Term Incentive Compensation.” For a reconciliation of Farmer Mac’s GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders to non-GAAP core earnings, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Results of Operations” in Farmer Mac’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
