CURRENT MARKET CONDITIONS The U.S. Drought Monitor reported no drought conditions across our territory during the third quarter of 2025. Consistent and timely rainfall supported healthy pasture growth and replenished soil moisture levels throughout the region. These favorable weather patterns contributed to improved forage availability and reduced stress on crop and livestock operations. Commodity prices remained under pressure this quarter, driven by ongoing volatility in global grain and feed demand, as well as uncertainty surrounding trade policy and geopolitical tensions. Despite these headwinds, the fed cattle market continued to perform strongly. Tight inventories and resilient consumer demand pushed cash prices to record highs. Hay sales remained light, as producers were generally unwilling to sell below production costs. However, more tonnages moved in the third quarter compared to earlier in the year. The real estate market was relatively subdued, however, some producers continued to look for opportunities to expand their acreage. Demand remained solid, particularly for dry crop and pastureland, with limited supply contributing to strong sales in select areas. Local producers remained the primary buyers, though recreational and CRP-driven purchases also played a role. The U.S. economy is seeing improvement in the third quarter of 2025 due to strong growth in real gross domestic product (GDP) carried over from the second quarter. Real GDP is projected to reach an annualized growth rate of 3.9% in the third quarter of 2025 largely due to positive trends in personal consumption expenditures, imports, and business investments. Additionally, a combination of stability in pricing for goods, government spending held under control, and tariffs not generating a significant increase in the cost of living contributed to the improved economic growth. The labor market remained relatively steady for the third quarter of 2025 at 4.3%; however, the uncertainty around the tariff policy and the deep cuts in government spending have affected the labor market and its outlook for 2025. In September, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points, bringing the funds target range to 4.00% - 4.25%. Fed officials continue to project two more rate cuts through the end of the year as they try to mitigate the persistent inflationary pressures and labor market challenges. In 2025, farm income is anticipated to increase primarily because of direct government relief payments through the American Relief Act of 2025, as well as strong animal/animal product commodity prices. Farm production expenses are also expected to increase by 2.6% in comparison to 2024. Spending on feed, livestock and poultry, and labor are expected to represent the three largest categories of spending in 2025. LOAN PORTFOLIO Loans outstanding at September 30, 2025, totaled $2.07 billion, an increase of $154.3 million, or 8.1%, from loans of $1.91 billion at December 31, 2024. The increase was a combination of increased loan demand from existing and new borrowers, as well as loan participation purchase opportunities to diversify our portfolio. Credit quality remains strong and stable at 97.8%. Advanced conditional payments totaled $14.9 million at September 30, 2025, a decrease of $2.4 million, or 13.7% from $17.3 million at December 31, 2024. Advanced conditional payment accounts are generally impacted by seasonal conditions. Typically, stockholders apply excess cash to these accounts to be utilized within their operation later in the year.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS High Plains Farm Credit, ACA posted solid financial results for the nine-month period ending September 30, 2025. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $41.8 million, an increase of $10.5 million, or 33.7%, from the same period ended one year ago. This was mainly due to a credit loss reversal and increases in net interest income and noninterest income, partially offset by an increase in noninterest expense. Additional details are provided below. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net interest income was $45.9 million, an increase of $3.7 million, or 8.8%, compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Net interest income increased as a result of loan volume growth. The credit loss reversal for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $1.5 million, compared to the provision for credit losses of $5.1 million for the same period ended one year ago. The main reason for the change was the net reversal in specific reserves related to one participation loan complex. Noninterest income increased $2.9 million or 26.4% during the first nine months of 2025, compared with the first nine months of 2024, primarily due to an increase of $2.9 million in patronage received and accrued from Farm Credit institutions. Patronage distribution from Farm Credit institutions increased primarily due to increased patronage-eligible sold loan volume and loan growth. We received a refund of $366 thousand during the first nine months of 2025 from the Farm Credit System Insurance Corporation (FCSIC), compared with a refund of $520 thousand received in the same period ended one year ago. These refunds represent our portion of excess funds above the secure base amount in the FCSIC Allocated Insurance Reserve Accounts. Mineral income is distributed quarterly by CoBank, with $397 thousand received during the first nine months of 2025. The decrease of $3 thousand compared to the same period in 2024, is primarily due to lower oil and gas commodity prices paid on production. During the first nine months of 2025, noninterest expense increased $2.7 million to $19.6 million, primarily due to increases in salaries and benefits ($1.0 million), other noninterest expense ($854 thousand), occupancy and equipment ($337 thousand), and purchased services from our technology service provider, AgVantis ($336 thousand). The increase in other noninterest expense is primarily due to a loss on the sale of the former Hays branch office. Salaries and benefits increased primarily as a result of additional employees and merit increases. The increase in occupancy and equipment is primarily due to increased software and depreciation expenses. Association growth and increased technology service fees led to the increase in expense from AgVantis. CAPITAL RESOURCES Our shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2025, was $400.2 million, an increase from $362.7 million at December 31, 2024. This increase is due to net income, partially offset by net stock retirements and preferred stock dividends declared.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A description of the organization and operations of High Plains Farm Credit, ACA (the Association), the significant accounting policies followed, and the financial condition and results of operations as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, are contained in the 2024 Annual Report to Shareholders. These unaudited third quarter 2025 financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2024 Annual Report to Shareholders. The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information. Certain disclosures included in the annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted from these financial statements as they are not required for interim financial statements under U.S. GAAP and the rules of the Farm Credit Administration (FCA). This report should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, as contained in the 2024 Annual Report to Shareholders. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods, have been made. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2025. Descriptions of the significant accounting policies are included in the 2024 Annual Report to Shareholders. In the opinion of management, these policies and the presentation of the interim financial condition and results of operations conform with GAAP and prevailing practices within the banking industry. Recently Issued or Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2025-06 Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The amendment introduces several key changes: (1) eliminates the stage-based rules for capitalization, (2) replaces these rules with a principles-based framework where capitalization occurs when management has authorized and committed to funding, and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software used as intended, (3) clarifies website developments costs and (4) modifies the disclosure requirements for capitalized software costs. The standard is effective for annual periods starting after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of any annual reporting period. The Institution is currently assessing the potential impact of this amendment on its disclosures. Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets In July 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2025-05 Financial Instruments – Credit Losses – Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. The amendments in this update provide (1) all entities with a practical expedient and (2) entities other than public business entities with an accounting policy election when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivables and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Topic 606. The practical expedient would allow all entities when developing reasonable and supportable forecasts as part of estimating expected credit losses to assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the asset. The accounting policy election allows an entity to consider collection activity after the balance sheet date when estimating expected credit losses. The amendments will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods under a prospective approach. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual periods in which financial statements have not yet been issued. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Association’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (ASC 220) In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2024-03 Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures: Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The amendments in this ASU apply to all public business entities and require disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to financial statements. The amendments require that at each interim and annual reporting period an entity: 7
•
• • •
Disclose the amounts of (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, and (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil and gas-producing activities (DD&A) (or other amounts of depletion expense) included in each relevant expense caption. A relevant expense caption is an expense caption presented on the face of the income statement within continuing operations that contains any of the expense categories listed in (a)-(e). Include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current GAAP in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements. Disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. Disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses.
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments should be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this ASU or (2) retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Association is currently assessing the potential impact of this standard on its disclosures. Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASC 740) In December 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-09 – Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The amendments in this standard require more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The amendments require qualitative disclosure about specific categories of reconciling items and individual jurisdictions that result in a significant difference between the statutory tax rate and the effective tax rate. Income taxes paid will require disaggregated disclosure by federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions for amounts exceeding a quantitative threshold of greater than five percent of total income taxes paid. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Association’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows, but will impact the income tax disclosures.

We have participation relationships with associations across the Farm Credit System. High Plains Farm Credit serves as the lead lender or facilitating agent for these participations in loans to eligible borrowers. High Plains Farm Credit is 8
the administrator for the Farm Credit Capital Group (FCCG) which assists other Associations in expanding participation activity. Of the total purchased and sold volume noted in the table above, FCCG accounts for $2.68 billion of total purchased volume and $2.19 billion of total sold volume. Credit Quality Credit risk arises from the potential inability of an obligor to meet its payment obligation and exists in our outstanding loans, letters of credit, and unfunded loan commitments. The Association manages credit risk associated with the retail lending activities through an analysis of the credit risk profile of an individual borrower using its own set of underwriting standards and lending policies, approved by its board of directors, which provides direction to its loan officers. The retail credit risk management process begins with an analysis of the borrower’s credit history, repayment capacity, financial position, and collateral, which includes an analysis of credit scores for smaller loans. Repayment capacity focuses on the borrower’s ability to repay the loan based on cash flows from operations or other sources of income, including off-farm income. Real estate mortgage loans must be secured by first liens on the real estate (collateral). As required by Farm Credit Administration regulations, each institution that makes loans on a secured basis must have collateral evaluation policies and procedures. Real estate mortgage loans may be made only in amounts up to 85% of the original appraised value of the property taken as security or up to 97% of the appraised value if guaranteed by a state, federal, or other governmental agency. The actual loan to appraised value when loans are made is generally lower than the statutory maximum percentage. Loans other than real estate mortgage may be made on a secured or unsecured basis. The Association uses a two-dimensional risk rating model based on an internally generated combined System risk rating guidance that incorporates a 14-point probability of default rating scale to identify and track the probability of borrower default and a separate scale addressing loss given default. Probability of default is the probability that a borrower will experience a default next twelve months. The loss given default is management’s estimate as to the anticipated principal loss on a specific loan, assuming default occurs. A default is considered to have occurred if the lender believes the borrower will not be able to pay its obligation in full or the borrower or the loan is classified nonaccrual. This credit risk rating process incorporates objective and subjective criteria to identify inherent strengths, weaknesses, and risks in a particular relationship. The institution reviews, at least on an annual basis, or when a credit action is taken, the probability of default category. Each of the probability of default categories carries a distinct percentage of default probability. The probability of default rate between one and nine of the acceptable categories is very narrow and would reflect almost no default to a minimal default percentage. The probability of default rate grows more rapidly as a loan moves from acceptable to other assets especially mentioned and grows significantly as a loan moves to a substandard (viable) level. A substandard (nonviable) rating indicates that the probability of default is almost certain. These categories are defined as follows: • • • • •
Acceptable – assets are expected to be fully collectible and represent the highest quality. Other assets especially mentioned (OAEM) – assets are currently collectible but exhibit some potential weakness. Substandard – assets exhibit some serious weakness in repayment capacity, equity, and/or collateral pledged on the loan. Doubtful – assets exhibit similar weaknesses to substandard assets; however, doubtful assets have additional weaknesses in existing factors, conditions, and values that make collection in full highly questionable. Loss – assets are considered uncollectible.

Additional commitments to lend to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty whose loans have been modified during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $3.3 million and during the year ended December 31, 2024 were $7.0 million. In 2024, the majority of additional commitments were related to one participation loan. The Association evaluates the commitments extended to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty and can restrict future draws as needed. The Association had no loans held for sale at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Allowance for Credit Losses The allowance for credit losses (ACL) represents the estimated current expected credit losses over the remaining contractual life of the loans measured at amortized cost and certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. The ACL takes into consideration relevant information about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable macroeconomic forecasts of future conditions. The contractual term excludes expected extensions, renewals, and modifications. The Association uses a single economic scenario over a reasonable and supportable forecast period of 12 months. Subsequent to the forecast period, the Association explicitly reverts to long run historical loss experience beyond the 12 months to inform the estimate of losses for the remaining contractual life of the loan portfolio. The economic forecasts are updated on a quarterly basis and incorporate macroeconomic variables such as agricultural commodity prices, unemployment rates, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) annual growth rates, government spending to GDP, real consumer spending, United States exports, inflation, and Fed Funds rates. The credit risk rating methodology is a key component of the Association’s allowance for credit losses evaluation and is generally incorporated into the Association’s loan underwriting standards and internal lending limits. In addition, borrower and commodity concentration lending and leasing limits have been established by the Association to manage credit exposure. The regulatory limit to a single borrower or lessee is 15% of the Association’s lending and leasing limit base but the Association’s board of directors has generally established more restrictive lending limits. This limit applies to Associations with long-term and short- and intermediate-term lending authorities.

There was no activity in accumulated other comprehensive loss for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 or September 30, 2024. NOTE 4 - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Accounting guidance defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability. See Note 2 of the 2024 Annual Report to Shareholders for a more complete description.

The Association had no liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024. Valuation Techniques As more fully discussed in Note 2 of the 2024 Annual Report to Shareholders, accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an Association to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The following presents a brief summary of the valuation techniques used by the Association for assets and liabilities, subject to fair value measurement. Assets Held in Non-Qualified Benefits Trusts Assets held in trust funds related to deferred compensation and supplemental retirement plans are classified within Level 1. The trust funds include investments that are actively traded and have quoted net asset values that are observable in the marketplace. Loans Evaluated for Impairment For impaired loans measured on a non-recurring basis, the fair value is based upon the underlying collateral since the loans are collateral dependent loans. The fair value measurement process uses independent appraisals and other market-based information, but in many cases, it also requires significant input based on management’s knowledge of and judgment about current market conditions, specific issues relating to the collateral, and other matters. As a result, these fair value measurements fall within Level 3 of the hierarchy. When the value of the collateral, less estimated costs to sell, is less than the principal balance of the loan, a specific reserve is established. NOTE 5 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS The Association has evaluated subsequent events through November 7, 2025, which is the date the financial statements were issued, and no material subsequent events were identified.
