INTRODUCTION


As of February 29, 2024, our financial statements included the consolidated accounts of National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation (“CFC”) and National Cooperative Services Corporation (“NCSC”). On December 1, 2023, Rural Telephone Finance Cooperative (“RTFC”), which was consolidated into our financial statements in prior periods, completed the sale of its business to NCSC (hereon referred to as the “RTFC sale transaction”). The sale was accounted for pursuant to ASC 805-50 “Transactions between Entities under Common Control.” Following the RTFC sale transaction, our principal operations are currently organized for management reporting purposes into two business segments, which are based on the accounts of each of the legal entities included in our consolidated financial statements: CFC and NCSC. We provide additional information on the RTFC sale transaction under “Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”

CFC is a member-owned, nonprofit finance cooperative association incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia in April 1969. CFC’swith a principal purpose isof providing financing to provide its members with financing to supplement the loan programs of the Rural Utilities Service (“RUS”) of the United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”). CFC makesextends loans to its rural electric members so they can acquire, constructfor construction, acquisitions, system and operatefacility repairs and maintenance, enhancements and ongoing operations to support the goal of electric distribution and generation and transmission and related facilities.(“power supply”) systems of providing reliable, affordable power to the customers they service. CFC also provides its members and associates with credit enhancements in the form of letters of credit and guarantees of debt obligations. As a cooperative, CFC is owned by and exclusively serves its membership, which consists of not-for-profit entities or subsidiaries or affiliates of not-for-profit entities. CFC is exempt from federal income taxes under Section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code. As atax-exempt, member-owned cooperative, CFC’s objective is not to maximize profit, but rather to offer its members cost-based financial products and services. The interest rates on lending products offered to our

member borrowers reflect our funding costs plus a spread to cover operating expenses and estimated credit losses, while also generating sufficient earnings to cover interest owed on our debt obligations and achieve certain financial target goals. Because CFC funds its activities primarily throughis a tax-exempt cooperative, we cannot issue equity securities as a source of funding. CFC’s primary funding sources consist of a combination of public and private issuances of debt securities, member investments and retained equity. As a Section 501(c)(4) tax-exempt, member-owned cooperative, we cannot issue equity securities.


Our financial statements include the consolidated accounts of CFC, National Cooperative Services Corporation (“NCSC”), Rural Telephone Finance Cooperative (“RTFC”) and subsidiaries created and controlled by CFC to hold foreclosed assets resulting from defaulted loans or bankruptcy. NCSC is a member-owned taxable member-owned cooperative that mayis permitted to provide financing to two types of members: NCSC electric and NCSC telecommunication. NCSC electric members consist of members of CFC, government or quasi-government entities which own electric utility systems that meet the Rural Electrification Act definition of “rural”“rural,” and for-profit and nonprofit entities that are owned, operated or controlled by, or provide significant benefits to certain members of CFC. NCSC telecommunication members, formerly RTFC is a taxable Subchapter T cooperative association that provides financing for itsmembers, consist of rural telecommunications members and their affiliates. CFC did not have any entities that held foreclosed assets as of November 30, 2017 or May 31, 2017. See “Item 1. Business—Overview” ofBusiness” in our 20172023 Form 10-K for additional information on the business structure, principal purpose, members and core business activities of each of these entities.classes of members. Unless stated otherwise, references to “we,” “our” or “us” relate to CFC and its consolidated entities. All references to members within this document include members, associates and affiliates of CFC and its consolidated entities.entities, except where indicated otherwise.




Management monitors a variety of key indicators to evaluate our business performance. The following MD&A is intended to provideenhance the reader with an understanding of our consolidated financial statements by providing material information that we believe is relevant in evaluating our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity by discussingand the driverspotential impact of material known events or uncertainties that, based on management’s assessment, are reasonably likely to cause the financial information included in this Report not to be necessarily indicative of our future financial performance. Management monitors a variety of key indicators and metrics to evaluate our business performance. We discuss these key measures and factors influencing changes from period to period and the key measures used by management to evaluate performance, such as net interest income, net interest yield, loan growth, debt-to-equity ratio, growth and credit quality metrics.period. Our MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, ourthe unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notesincluded in this Report, our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2023 (“fiscal year 2023”) included in our 20172023 Form 10-K and additional information, contained in our 2017 Form 10-K, including the risk factors discussed under “Part I—Item“Item 1A. Risk Factors,” contained in our 2023 Form 10-K, as well as any risk factors identified under “Part II—Item 1A. Risk Factors”additional information contained elsewhere in this Report.

SUMMARY OF SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

TableOur fiscal year begins on June 1provides a summary of consolidated selected financial data for the and ends on May 31. Reference to “Q3 FY2024” and “YTD FY2024” refer to three and sixnine months ended November 30, 2017February 29, 2024, respectively. Reference to “Q3 FY2023” and 2016,“YTD FY2023” refer to three and as of November 30, 2017 and May 31, 2017. In addition tonine months ended February 28, 2023, respectively.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Our reported financial measuresresults are determined in accordanceconformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), management also evaluates performance based on certain non-GAAP measures and metrics, which we refer to as “adjusted” measures. Certain financial covenant provisions in our credit agreements are also based on non-GAAP financial measures. Our key non-GAAP financial measures are adjusted net income, adjusted net interest income, adjusted interest expense, adjusted net interest yield, adjusted times interest earned ratio (“adjusted TIER”) and adjusted debt-to-equity ratio. The most comparable GAAP measures are net income, net interest income, interest expense, net interest yield, TIER and debt-to-equity ratio, respectively. The primary adjustments we make to calculate these non-GAAP measures consist of (i) adjusting interest expense and net interest income to include the impact of net periodic derivative cash settlements; (ii) adjusting net income, senior debt and total equity to exclude the non-cash impact of the accounting for derivative financial instruments; (iii) adjusting senior debt to exclude the amount that funds CFC member loans guaranteed by RUS, subordinated deferrable debt and members’ subordinated certificates; and (iv) adjusting total equity to include subordinated deferrable debt and members’ subordinated certificates and exclude cumulative derivative forward value gains and losses and accumulated other comprehensive income. We believe our non-GAAP adjusted measures, which are not a substitute for GAAP and may not be consistent with similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies, provide meaningful information and are useful to investors because management evaluates performance based on these metrics, and certain financial covenants in our committed bank revolving line of credit agreements and debt indentures are based on adjusted measures. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a detailed reconciliation of these adjusted measures to the most comparable GAAP measures.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Our primary objective as a member-owned cooperative lender is to provide cost-based financial products to our rural electric members while maintaining a sound financial position required for investment-grade credit ratings on our debt instruments. Our objective is not to maximize net income; therefore, the rates we charge our member-borrowers reflect our adjusted interest expense plus a spread to cover our operating expenses, a provision for loan losses and earnings sufficient to achieve interest coverage to meet our financial objectives. Our goal is to earn an annual minimum adjusted TIER of 1.10 and to maintain an adjusted debt-to-equity ratio at approximately or below 6.00-to-1.

We are subject to period-to-period volatility in our reported GAAP results due to changes in market conditions and differences in the way our financial assets and liabilities are accounted for under U.S. GAAP. Our financial assets and liabilities expose us to interest-rate risk. Werisk, therefore we use derivatives, primarily interest rate swaps, as part of our strategy in managing this risk. Our derivatives are intended to economically hedge and manage the interest-rate sensitivity mismatch between our financial assets and liabilities. We are required under U.S. GAAP to carry derivatives at fair value on our consolidated balance sheet;sheets; however, the financial assets and liabilities for which we use derivatives to economically hedge are carried at amortized cost. Changes in interest rates and spreadsthe shape of the swap curve result in periodic fluctuations in the fair value of our derivatives, which may cause volatility in our earnings because we do not apply hedge accounting.accounting for our interest rate swaps. As a result, the mark-to-market changes in our derivativesinterest rate swaps are recorded in earnings. Based on the compositionThe majority of our derivatives, we generally recordderivative portfolio consists of pay-fixed swaps with longer maturities, leading to derivative losses in earnings when interest rates decline and derivative gains when interest rates rise. This earnings volatility generally is not indicative of the underlying economics of our business, as the derivative forward fair value gains or losses recorded each period may or may not be realized over time, depending on the terms of our derivative instruments and future changes in market conditions that impact actual derivativethe periodic cash settlement amounts. As such,amounts of our interest rate swaps.

Therefore, management uses ournon-GAAP financial measures, which we refer to as “adjusted” measures, to evaluate financial performance. Our key non-GAAP financial measures are adjusted non-net income, adjusted net interest income, adjusted interest expense, adjusted net interest yield, adjusted times interest earned ratio (“TIER”), adjusted debt-to-equity ratio and members’ equity. The most comparable U.S. GAAP results, whichfinancial measures are net income, net interest income, interest expense, net interest yield, TIER, debt-to-equity ratio, and CFC equity, respectively. The primary adjustments we make to calculate these non-GAAP financial measures consist of (i) adjusting interest expense and net interest income to include realizedthe impact of net periodic derivative cash settlements butincome (expense) amounts; (ii) adjusting net income, total liabilities and total equity to exclude the non-cash impact of unrealizedthe accounting for derivative financial instruments; (iii) adjusting total
2


liabilities to exclude the amount that funds CFC member loans guaranteed by RUS, subordinated deferrable debt and members’ subordinated certificates; (iv) adjusting total equity to include subordinated deferrable debt and members’ subordinated certificates and exclude cumulative derivative forward value gains and losses and accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”); and (v) adjusting CFC equity to exclude derivative forward value gains and losses and AOCI.

We believe our non-GAAP financial measures, which should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures determined in conformity with U.S. GAAP, provide meaningful information and are useful to investors because management evaluates performance based on these metrics for purposes of (i) establishing short- and long-term performance goals; (ii) budgeting and forecasting; (iii) comparing period-to-period operating results, analyzing changes in results and identifying potential trends; and (iv) making compensation decisions. In addition, certain of the financial covenants in our committed bank revolving line of credit agreements and debt indentures are based on non-GAAP financial measures, as the forward fair value gains and losses related to evaluate our operating performance. Because derivative forward fair value gains and lossesinterest rate swaps that are excluded from our non-GAAP financial measures do not impactaffect our cash flows, liquidity or ability to service our debt costs, ourdebt. Our non-GAAP financial debt covenantsmeasures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in the way that these measures are also based oncalculated. We provide a reconciliation of our non-GAAP adjusted results.measures to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures in the section “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations.”

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Reported Results


We reportedNet Income and TIER

The table below shows our net income of $179 million and a TIER of 1.92 for the quarter ended November 30, 2017 (“current quarter”), compared withperiods presented and the variance between these periods. We provide a more detailed discussion of our reported results under the section “Consolidated Results of Operations.”

TIER1.091.58(0.49)1.411.70(0.29)

Q3 FY2024 versus Q3 FY2023

The decrease in net income was primarily driven by:
An unfavorable shift from gains to losses recorded in our derivative portfolio of $395$121 million, primarily attributable to decreases in interest rates across the entire swap curve during Q3 FY2024. In comparison, the interest rates across the swap curve increased during Q3 FY2023;
A decrease in net interest income of $7 million, attributable to a decrease in the net interest yield of 14 basis points, or 16%, to 0.74%, partially offset by an increase in average interest-earning assets of $2,266 million, or 7%;
A reduction in the benefit for credit losses of $5 million. We recorded a benefit for credit losses of $6 million for Q3 FY2024 compared to $11 million for Q3 FY2023, resulting primarily from decreases in the asset-specific allowance for both periods; and
An increase in operating and a TIERother non-interest expenses of 3.15 for the same prior-year quarter. We reported$5 million;
Partially offset by:
A favorable shift from losses to gains recorded on our investment securities of $6 million, primarily due to period-to-period market fluctuations in fair value.

YTD FY2024 versus YTD FY2023

The decrease in net income was primarily driven by:
A decrease in derivative gains of $188$64 million, primarily attributable to less pronounced increases in the medium- and a TIER of 1.48 for the six months ended November 30, 2017,longer-term swap interest rates during YTD FY2024 compared with ato YTD FY2023;
A decrease in net interest income of $263$53 million, attributable to a decrease in the net interest yield of 28 basis points, or 27%, to 0.76%, partially offset by an increase in average interest-earning assets of $2,243 million, or 7%; and
An increase in operating and other non-interest expenses of $16 million;
Partially offset by:
A favorable shift from provision to benefit for credit losses of $9 million. We recorded a benefit for credit losses of $5 million for YTD FY2024, resulting primarily from a decrease in the asset-specific allowance, partially offset by an increase in the collective allowance due to loan portfolio growth. In comparison, we recorded a provision for credit losses of $4 million for YTD FY2023, driven primarily by increases in the collective allowance and in the asset-specific allowance;
A favorable shift from losses to gains recorded on our investment securities of $14 million, primarily due to period-to-period market fluctuations in fair value; and an increase in fee and other income of $3 million.

The decreases in TIER of 1.72 for the same prior-year period. Q3 FY2024 and YTD FY2024, compared to Q3 FY2023 and YTD FY2023, were primarily driven by increased interest expense during Q3 FY2024 and YTD FY2024.

Debt-to-Equity Ratio

Our debt-to-equity ratio decreased to 19.87-to-111.52 as of November 30, 2017,February 29, 2024, from 21.94-to-112.14 as of May 31, 2017,2023, primarily due to an increase in equity resultingresulting from our reported net income of $188$408 million for the six months ended November 30, 2017,YTD FY2024, which was partially offset by patronage capital retirement of $45 million in September 2017.

The variance of $217 million between our reported net income of $179 million in the current quarter and our net income of $395 million for the same prior-year quarter was driven primarily by mark-to-market changes in the fair value of our derivatives. We recognized derivative gains of $126 million in the current quarter, which were largely attributable to a net increase in the fair value of our pay-fixed swaps as interest rates increased across the yield curve. In comparison, we recognized derivative gains of $341 million in the same prior-year quarter, attributable to a net increase in the fair value of our pay-fixed swaps due to an increase in medium-term and longer-term interest rates and a general steepening of the yield curve. In addition, we experienced a decrease in equity of $10 million from CFCs deconsolidation of RTFC and $113 million from CFC Board of Directors’ authorized patronage capital retirements, of which $72 million was paid to members in September 2023 and $41 million was paid from CFC to RTFC in December 2023 in connection with the RTFC sale transaction, which is discussed further under “Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”

Non-GAAP Adjusted Results

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted TIER

The table below shows our adjusted net income and adjusted TIER for the periods presented and the variance between these periods. Our financial goals focus on earning an annual minimum adjusted TIER of 1.10. We provide a more detailed discussion of our non-GAAP adjusted results under the section “Consolidated Results of Operations.”

Q3 FY2024 versus Q3 FY2023

The increase in adjusted net income was primarily driven by:
An increase in adjusted net interest income of $3$13 million, as a resultdriven by the combined impact of compressionan increase in the net


interest yieldaverage interest-earning assets of $2,266 million, or 7%, and an increase in operating expenses of $1 million, which were partially offset by a favorable shift in the provision for loan losses of $1 million. Our net interest yield was 1.12% for the current quarter, a decrease of 9 basis points from the same prior-year quarter due to an increase in our cost of funds.

The variance of $75 million between our reported net income of $188 million for the six months ended November 30, 2017 and our net income of $263 million for the same prior-year period was also driven primarily by mark-to-market changes in the fair value of our derivatives. We recognized derivative gains of $79 million for the six months ended November 30, 2017, largely due to the increase in interest rates across the yield curve. In comparison, we recognized derivative gains of $152 million in the same prior-year period, attributable to the increase in medium-term and longer-term interest rates during the period. In addition, we experienced a decrease in net interest income of $5 million due to the compression in the net interest yield and an increase in operating expenses of $2 million, which were partially offset by a favorable shift in the provision for loan losses of $3 million. Our net interest yield was 1.14% for the six months ended November 30, 2017, a decrease of 9 basis points from the same prior-year period due to an increase in our cost of funds.

Adjusted Non-GAAP Results

Our adjusted net income totaled $33 million and our adjusted TIER was 1.16 for both the current quarter and the same prior-year quarter. Our adjusted net income totaled $68 million and adjusted TIER was 1.16 for the six months ended November 30, 2017, compared with adjusted net income of $66 million and adjusted TIER of 1.16 for the same prior-year period. Our adjusted debt-to-equity ratio increased to 6.12-to-1 as of November 30, 2017, from 5.95-to-1 as of May 31, 2017, largely due to an increase in debt outstanding to fund loan growth.

While adjusted net income for the current quarter and six months ended November 30, 2017 remained relatively unchanged from the same prior-year periods, adjusted net interest income decreased slightly due to compression in the adjusted net interest yield resultingof 7 basis points, or 6%, to 1.18%; and

A favorable shift from provision to benefit for credit losses of $9 million; and 3 basis points, respectively,an increase in fee and other income of $3 million;
Partially offset by:
An increase in operating and other non-interest expenses of $16 million.

Adjusted Debt-to-Equity Ratio

Our financial goals focus on maintaining an adjusted debt-to-equity ratio at approximately 6-to-1 or below. The adjusted debt-to-equity ratio increased to 6.29 as of February 29, 2024 from the same prior-year period6.04 as of May 31, 2023, due to an increase in adjusted liabilities resulting from additional borrowings to fund growth in our adjusted cost of funds.

Lending Activity

Loans to members totaled $24,825 million as of November 30, 2017,loan portfolio, partially offset by an increase of $458 million, or 2%, from May 31, 2017.in adjusted equity. The increase in adjusted equity was primarily due to an increase in CFC distribution loansour adjusted net income of $405$224 million an increase in NCSC loans of $126 million and an increase in RTFC loans of $17 million, which werefor YTD FY2024, partially offset by a decrease in equity of $10 million from CFCs deconsolidation of RTFC and $113 million from CFC Board of Directors’ authorized patronage capital retirements, as discussed above.

Lending and Credit Quality

We segregate our loan portfolio into segments based on the borrower member class, which consists of CFC distribution, CFC power supply, loans of $91 million.CFC statewide and associate, NCSC electric and NCSC telecommunications (“telecom”). Prior to the RTFC sale transaction on December 1, 2023, NCSC electric and NCSC telecom were referred to as NCSC and RTFC, respectively.


Long-term loan advancesLoans to members totaled $1,127 million during the six months ended November 30, 2017, with approximately 58% of those advances for capital expenditures by members and 31% for the refinancing of loans made by other lenders. CFC had long-term fixed-rate loans totaling $519 million that were scheduled to reprice during the six months ended November 30, 2017. Of this total, $441 million repriced to a new long-term fixed rate, $78 million repriced to a long-term variable rate and $1 million were repaid in full.

Financing Activity

Our outstanding debt volume generally increases and decreases in response to member loan demand. As total outstanding loans increased during the six months ended November 30, 2017, our debt volume also increased. Total debt outstanding was $24,086$34,412 million as of November 30, 2017,February 29, 2024, an increase of $626$1,880 million, or 3%6%, from May 31, 2017. The increase was primarily attributable to a2023, reflecting net increaseincreases in member commercial paperlong-term and daily liquidity fund notesline of $543 million, a net increase in dealer medium-term notescredit loans of $394$1,473 million and a$407 million, respectively. Our loan portfolio composition remained largely unchanged from May 31, 2023 with 78% of loans outstanding to CFC distribution borrowers, 16% to CFC power supply borrowers, 3% to NCSC electric borrowers, 2% to NCSC telecom borrowers, and 1% to CFC statewide and associate borrowers as of February 29, 2024.

We believe the overall credit quality of our loan portfolio remained strong as of February 29, 2024. We had no loan charge-offs or recoveries during Q3 FY2024 and Q3 FY2023. We recorded $1 million in net increaseloan recoveries to previously charged-off loan amounts during YTD FY2024. In comparison, we experienced net charge-offs totaling $15 million during YTD FY2023, which resulted in notes payablean annualized net charge-off rate of 0.06% for YTD FY2023.

We had one loan totaling $85 million classified as nonperforming as of February 29, 2024. In comparison, we had two loans totaling $89 million classified as nonperforming as of May 31, 2023. The reduction was due to the Federal Financing Bank underreceipt of $4 million in payments to pay off one nonperforming loan. In March 2024, we received a $36 million payment on the Guaranteed Underwriter Programoutstanding nonperforming loan, which reduced its balance to $49 million as of the USDA (“Guaranteed Underwriter Program”)date of $74 million. These increases werethis Report.

Our allowance for credit losses and allowance coverage ratio decreased to $49 million and 0.14%, respectively, as of February 29, 2024, from $53 million and 0.16%, respectively, as of May 31, 2023.The $4 million decrease in the allowance for credit losses reflected a reduction in the asset-specific allowance of $8 million, partially offset by an increase in the collective allowance of $4 million.

Financing and Liquidity

Total debt outstanding increased $1,542 million, or 5%, to $32,541 million as of February 29, 2024, primarily due to borrowings to fund the increase in loans to members. We issued an aggregate principal amount of long-term dealer medium-term notes totaling $1,850 million during Q3 FY2024, of which $1,550 million was at an average fixed interest rate of 4.87% with an average term of five years and $300 million was at a net decreasefloating interest rate with a term of three years. We also issued $100 million of 7.125% subordinated deferrable debt due in 2053 during Q3 FY2024. Outstanding dealer commercial paper outstanding of $420 million.

On November 9, 2017, we closed on a $750 million committed loan facility (“Series M”) from the Federal Financing Bank under the Guaranteed Underwriter Program. Pursuant to this facility, we may borrow any time before July 15, 2022. Each


advance is subject to quarterly amortization and a final maturity not longer than 20 years from the advance date. With the closing of this committed loan facility, the amount available for access under the Guaranteed Underwriter Program increased to $1,375was $899 million as of November 30, 2017.February 29, 2024.


On November 20, 2017, we amendedDuring YTD FY2024, Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”), S&P Global Inc.(“S&P”) and restated the three-yearMoody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) affirmed CFC’s credit ratings and five-year committed bank revolving linestable outlook.

Our available liquidity consists of credit agreements to extend the maturity dates to November 20, 2020 and November 20, 2022, respectively, and to terminate certain third-party bank commitments totaling $40 million under the three-year agreement and $40 million under the five-year agreement. The total commitment amount from third-parties under the amended three-year and five-year bank revolving line of credit agreements is $1,493 million and $1,592 million, respectively, resulting in a combined total commitment amount under the two facilities of $3,085 million.

We provide additional information on our financing activities below under “Consolidated Balance Sheet Analysis—Debt” and “Liquidity Risk.”

Outlook for the Next 12 Months

We currently expect the amount of long-term loan advances to exceed anticipated loan repayments over the next 12 months. We have scheduled maturities of higher-cost debt over the next 12 months, including $1,875 million in collateral trust bonds with a weighted average coupon rate of 8.18%. We expect that we will be able to replace this higher-cost debt with lower-cost funding, which will reduce our aggregate weighted average funding cost. As a result of the anticipated decrease in our funding cost, we expect that our net interest income, net interest yield, adjusted net interest income and adjusted net interest yield will increase.

Long-term debt scheduled to mature over the next 12 months totaled $2,880 million as of November 30, 2017. In addition, during the third quarter of fiscal year 2018 we expect to redeem $325 million of long-term debt prior to maturity. We believe we have sufficient liquidity from the combination of existing cash, member loan repayments, committed bank revolving lines of credit and our ability to issue debt in the capital markets, to our members and in private placements, to meet the demand for member loan advances and satisfy our obligations to repay long-term debt maturing over the next 12 months. As of November 30, 2017, we had access to liquidity reserves totaling $7,047 million, which consisted of (i) $280 million in cash and cash equivalents, (ii) up to $1,375 million available under committed loan facilities under the Guaranteed Underwriter Program, (iii) up to $3,083 million availableinvestments in debt securities and availability under committed bank revolving line of credit agreements, (iv) up to $300 million availablecommitted loan facilities under a committed revolving note purchase agreement with Farmer Mac,the USDA Guaranteed Underwriter Program (“Guaranteed Underwriter Program”), and (v) up to $2,009 million available under a revolving note purchase agreement with the Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation (“Farmer Mac, subjectMac”). As of February 29, 2024, our available liquidity totaled $6,595 million and was $358 million below our total scheduled debt obligations over the next 12 months of $6,953 million. In addition to market conditions.our existing available liquidity, we expect to receive $1,535 million from scheduled long-term loan principal payments over the next 12 months.


We believe we can continue to roll over outstandingour member short-term debtinvestments of $2,977$3,206 million as of November 30, 2017, based on our expectation that our members will continue to reinvest their excess cash primarily in our commercial paper, dailyshort-term investment products offered by CFC. Our members historically have maintained a relatively stable level of short-term investments in CFC. Member short-term investments in CFC have averaged $3,543 million over the last 12 fiscal quarter-end reporting periods. Our available liquidity fund, select notes and medium-term notes. Although we expect to continue accessing the dealer commercial paper market to help meet our liquidity needs, we intend to manage our short-term wholesale funding risk by maintaining outstanding dealer commercial paper at an amount below $1,250 million for the foreseeable future. We expect to continue to be in compliance with the covenants under our committed bank revolving line of credit agreements, which will allow us to mitigate our roll-over risk as we can draw on these facilities to repay dealer or member commercial paper that cannot be
rolled over.

While we are not subject to bank regulatory capital rules, we generally aim to maintain an adjusted debt-to-equity ratio at approximately or below 6.00-to-1. Our adjusted debt-to-equity ratio was 6.12 as of November 30, 2017, aboveFebruary 29, 2024 was $2,848 million in excess of, or 1.8 times over, our targeted threshold due tototal scheduled debt obligations, excluding member short-term investments, over the increasenext 12 months of $3,747 million.

Outlook

As further described below in debt outstanding to fundthe “Liquidity Risk—Projected Near-Term Sources and Uses of Funds” section, we currently anticipate net long-term loan growth. Due to anticipated asset growth we expect our adjusted debt-to-equity ratio to be above 6.00-to-1of $1,847 million over the next 12 months. We also expect that our variable-rate line of credit loans outstanding will remain at approximately the current level over the same period.

In March 2024, the Federal Open Market Committee (“FOMC”) of the Federal Reserve signaled the expectation of no additional increases in the federal funds rate. The FOMC expects the U.S. economy to remain strong in 2024, with the median projected Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) growth rate at 2.1% in 2024, up from 1.4% in its December 2023 projection. In addition, the Federal Reserve revised higher its inflation expectations and lowered its expected unemployment rate in 2024. Despite an improved economic outlook and inflation remaining above the 2% long-term target, the FOMC projects 75 basis points of federal funds rate cuts in 2024, bringing the target rate to 4.6% by December 31, 2024. Consensus market outlook for interest rates indicates declining interest rates across the yield curve in 2024. Although the yield curve is expected to remain inverted throughout calendar year 2024, given the expected drop in short-term interest rates, the yield curve inversion is expected to narrow in 2024.

Projected Reported Results

Based on our current forecast assumptions, including the yield curve forecast noted above, we project:
A slight increase in our reported net interest income. However, we expect a decrease in our reported net interest yield over the next 12 months compared to the 12-month period ended February 29, 2024. See “Market Risk—Interest Rate Risk Assessment” for an additional discussion.

Projected Non-GAAP Adjusted Results

Based on our current forecast assumptions, including the yield curve forecast noted above, we project:
Decreases in our adjusted net interest income and adjusted net interest yield over the next 12 months relative to the 12-month period ended February 29, 2024, primarily due to the current yield curve assumptions and our balance sheet position. See “Market Risk—Interest Rate Risk Assessment” for an additional discussion.
6


Decreases in our adjusted net income and adjusted TIER over the next 12 months, primarily attributable to increased operating expenses and a projected decrease in adjusted net interest income.
Our adjusted debt-to-equity ratio will remain above our target of 6-to-1, primarily due to the projected increase in total debt outstanding to fund anticipated growth in our loan portfolio.

As stated above, we exclude the impact of unrealized derivative forward fair value gains and losses from our non-GAAP financial measures. As the majority of our swaps are long-term with an average remaining life of approximately 15 years as of February 29, 2024, the unrealized periodic derivative forward value gains and losses are largely based on future expected changes in longer-term interest rates, which we are unable to accurately predict for each reporting period over the next 12 months. Due to the difficulty in predicting these unrealized amounts, we are unable to provide without unreasonable effort a reconciliation of our forward-looking adjusted financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make a number of judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses in the consolidated financial statements. Understanding our accounting policies and the extent to which we use management’s judgment and estimates in


applying these policies is integral to understanding our financial statements. We provide a discussion of our significant accounting policies under “Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our 2017 Form 10-K.

We have identified certain accounting policies as critical because they involve significant judgments and assumptions about highly complex and inherently uncertain matters, and the use of reasonably different estimates and assumptions could have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition. Our most critical accounting policies and estimates involve the determination of the allowance for loan losses and fair value. We evaluate our critical accounting estimates and judgments required by our policies on an ongoing basis and update them as necessary based on changing conditions. There were no material changes in the key inputs and assumptions used in our critical accounting policies during the six months ended November 30, 2017. Management has discussed significant judgments and assumptions in applying our critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee of our board of directors. We provide additional information on our critical accounting policies and estimates under “MD&A—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our 2017 Form 10-K. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2017 Form 10-K for a discussion of the risks associated with management’s judgments and estimates in applying our accounting policies and methods.
ACCOUNTING CHANGES AND OTHER DEVELOPMENTS

See “Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for information on accounting standards adopted during the current quarter, as well as recently issued accounting standards not yet required to be adopted and the expected impact of these accounting standards. To the extent we believe the adoption of new accounting standards has had or will have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition or liquidity, we discuss the impact in the applicable section(s) of this MD&A. We also discuss the expected impact of H.R. 1, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“The Act”), which the President of the United States signed and enacted into law on December 22, 2017.
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


TheThis section below provides a comparative discussion of our condensed consolidated results of operations between the three months ended November 30, 2017Q3 FY2024 and 2016Q3 FY2023, and the six months ended November 30, 2017between YTD FY2024 and 2016.YTD FY2023. Following this section, we provide a comparativediscussion and analysis of material changes between amounts reported on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of November 30, 2017February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2017.2023. You should read these sections together with our “Executive Summary—Outlook for the Next 12 Months”Outlook” where we discuss trends and other factors that we expect will affect our future results of operations.


Net Interest Income


Net interest income, which is our largest source of revenue, represents the difference between the interest income earned on our interest-earning assets which include loans and investment securities, and the interest expense on our interest-bearing liabilities. Our net interest yield represents the difference between the yield on our interest-earning assets and the cost of our interest-bearing liabilities plus the impact fromof non-interest bearing funding. We expect net interest income and our net interest yield to fluctuate based on changes in interest rates and changes in the amount and composition of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. We do not fund each individual loan with specific debt. Rather, we attempt to minimize costs and maximize efficiency by proportionately funding large aggregated amounts of loans.


Table 23 presents our average balance sheets for the three and six months ended November 30, 2017 and 2016, andbalances for each major category of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities, the interest income earned or interest expense incurred, and the average yield or cost. Table 23 also presents non-GAAP adjusted interest expense, adjusted net interest income and adjusted net interest yield, which reflect the inclusion of net accrued periodic derivative cash settlements expense in interest expense. We provide reconciliations of our non-GAAP adjustedfinancial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.Measures and Reconciliations.

(1)Interest income on long-term, fixed-rate loans includes loan conversion fees, which are generally deferred and recognized as interest income using the effective interest method.
(2)Troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) loans.
(3)Consists of late payment fees and net amortization of deferred loan fees and loan origination costs.

(3)The average balance represents average monthly balances, which is calculated based on the month-end balance as of the beginning of the reporting period and the balances as of the end of each month included in the specified reporting period.

(4)Short-term borrowings reported on our consolidated balance sheets consist of borrowings with an original contractual maturity of one year or less. However, short-term borrowings presented in Table3 consist of commercial paper, select notes, daily liquidity fund notes and secured borrowings under repurchase agreements. Short-term borrowings presented on our consolidated balance sheets related to medium-term notes, Farmer Mac notes payable and other notes payable are reported in the respective category for presentation purposes in Table 3. The period-end amounts reported as short-term borrowings on our consolidated balances sheets, which are excluded from the calculation of average short-term borrowings presented in Table 3, totaled $982 million and $853 million as of February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023, respectively.
(5)Net interest spread represents the difference between the average yield on total average interest-earning assets and the average cost of total average interest-bearing liabilities. Adjusted net interest spread represents the difference between the average yield on total average interest-earning assets and the adjusted average cost of total average interest-bearing liabilities.
(5)(6)Includes other liabilities and equity.
(6)(7)Net interest yield is calculated based on annualized net interest income for the period divided by total average interest-earning assets for the period.
(7)(8)Represents the impact of net accrued periodic derivative cash settlementscontractual interest amounts on our interest rate swaps during the period, whichperiod. This amount is added to interest expense to derive non-GAAP adjusted interest expense. The average (benefit)/cost associated with derivatives is calculated based on the annualized net accrued periodic derivative cash settlementsswap settlement interest amount during the period divided by the average outstanding notional amount of derivatives during the period. The average outstanding notional amount of derivativesinterest rate swaps was $10,902$7,568 million and $10,651$7,555 million for the three months ended November 30, 2017Q3 FY2024 and 2016,Q3 FY2023, respectively. The average outstanding notional amount of derivativesinterest rate swaps was $10,791$7,675 million and $10,494$7,762 million for the six months ended November 30, 2017YTD FY2024 and 2016,YTD FY2023, respectively.
(8)(9)Adjusted interest expense represents interestconsists of interest expense plus net accrued periodic derivative cash settlements interest income (expense) during the period. Net accrued periodic derivative cash settlements areinterest income (expense) is reported on our consolidated statements of operations as a component of derivative gains (losses). Adjusted average cost is calculated based on annualized adjusted interest expense for the period divided by total average interest-bearing liabilities during the period.
(9)(10)Adjusted net interest yield is calculated based on annualized adjusted net interest income for the period divided by total average interest-earning assets for the period.


























Table 34 displays the change in net interest income between periods and the extent to which the variance for each category of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities is attributable to: (i) changes in volume, which represents the volumechange in the average balances of our interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities or volume and (ii) changes in the rate, which represents the change in the average interest rates of these assets and liabilities. The table also presents the change in adjusted net interest income between periods.

(1)The changes for each category of interest income and interest expense are divided betweenrepresent changes in either average balances (volume) or average rates for both interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities. We allocate the portion of change attributable to the variance in volume and the portion of change attributable to the variance in rate for that category. The amount attributable to the combined impact of volume and rate has been allocated to each category based on the proportionate absolute dollar amount of change for that category.rate variance.
(2)For the net accrued periodic derivative cash settlements interest amount, the variance due to average volume represents the change in the net periodic derivative cash settlements interest amount resulting from the change in the average notional amount of derivative contracts outstanding. The variance due to average rate represents the change in the net periodic derivative cash settlements amount resulting from the net difference between the average rate paid and the average rate received for interest rate swaps during the period.

Reported Net Interest Income

Reported net interest income of $71$65 million for the current quarterQ3 FY2024 decreased by $3$7 million, or 4%9%, from the same prior-year quarter,Q3 FY2023, driven by a decrease in the net interest yield of 7% (914 basis points)points, or 16%, to 1.12%0.74%, which was partially offset by an increase in average interest-earning assets of 4%$2,266 million, or 7%.


Average Interest-Earning Assets: The increase in average interest-earning assets of 7% was attributable to growth in average total loans of $2,188 million, or 7%, driven primarily by an increase in average long-term fixed-rate loans of $1,848 million and an increase in average line of credit loans of $397 million, as members continued to advance loans to fund capital expenditures and for working capital purposes.

Net Interest Yield: The decrease in the net interest yield of 14 basis points, or 16%, was primarily attributable to the combined impact of an increase in our average cost of borrowings of 53 basis points to 4.24%, which was partially offset by an increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets of 36 basis points to 4.71% and an increase in the benefit from non-interest bearing funding of 3 basis points to 0.27%. Our average yield on interest-earning assets and average cost of borrowings rose mainly due to the sustained increase in the federal funds rate, which increased 75 basis points since February 28, 2023. The increase in average yields on line of credit and variable-rate loans was the primary driver for the increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets. Meanwhile, our average cost of borrowings increased due to higher interest rates on our short-term and variable-rate borrowings.

Reported net interest income of $144$195 million for the six months ended November 30, 2017YTD FY2024 decreased by $5$53 million, or 4%21%, from the same prior-year period,YTD FY2023, driven by a decrease in the net interest yield of 7% (928 basis points)points, or 27%, to 1.14%0.76%, which was partially offset by an increase in average interest-earning assets of 4%$2,243 million, or 7%.

Average Interest-Earning Assets: The increase in average interest-earning assets for the current quarter and six months ended November 30, 2017of 7% was primarily attributable to growth in average total loans of $1,104$2,282 million, or 5%7%, driven primarily by an increase in average long-term fixed-rate loans of $1,578 million and $1,134an increase in average line of credit loans of $612 million, or 5%, respectively, over the same prior-year periods, as members obtained advancescontinued to advance loans to fund capital investmentsexpenditures and refinanced with us loans made by other lenders.

Net Interest Yield:The decrease in the net interest yield forof 28 basis points, or 27%, was primarily attributable to the current quarter and six months ended November 30, 2017 was largely due tocombined impact of an increase in our average cost of funds, as the average yield on interest-earning assets remained relatively stable. Our average costborrowings of funds increased by 1083 basis points during both the current quarter and six months ended November 30, 2017 to 3.29% and 3.27%, respectively, largely due to increases in the cost of our short-term and variable-rate debt resulting from an increase in short-term interest rates. The 3-month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) was 1.49% as of November 30, 2017, an increase of 55 basis points from the same prior-year period, while the federal funds rate ranged from 1.00% to 1.25% as November 30, 2017, up 75 basis points from the end of the same prior-year period.

Adjusted net interest income of $51 million for the current quarter decreased by $1 million, or 2%, from the same prior-year quarter, driven by a decrease in the adjusted net interest yield of 6% (5 basis points) to 0.81%4.13%, which was partially offset by an increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets of 4%. The decrease in the adjusted net interest yield was primarily attributable50 basis points to 4.62% and an increase in the adjustedbenefit from non-interest bearing funding of 5 basis points to 0.27%. As mentioned above, the increases in the average cost of borrowings and average yield on interest-earning assets were driven by the continued increase in the federal funds of 6 basis points to 3.63%.rate.


Adjusted Net Interest Income

Adjusted net interest income of $104$103 million for Q3 FY2024 increased $13 million, or 14%, from Q3 FY2023, driven by the six months ended November 30, 2017 was flat compared to the same prior-year period. The decreasecombined impact of an increase in average interest-earning assets of $2,266 million, or 7%, and an increase in the adjusted net interest yield of 3% (37 basis points)points, or 6%, to 0.83%1.18%.

Average Interest-Earning Assets: The increase in average interest-earning assets of 7% during Q3 FY2024 was driven by the growth in average total loans of $2,188 million, or 7%, attributable primarily to the increases in average long-term fixed-rate and line of credit loans as discussed above.

AdjustedNet Interest Yield: The adjusted net interest yield increased to 1.18%, reflecting the combined impact of an increase in the average yield on interest-earning assets of 36 basis points to 4.71% and an increase in the benefit from non-interest bearing funding of 2 basis points to 0.24%, partially offset by an increase in our adjusted average cost of borrowings of 31 basis points to 3.77%. The increases in both average yield on interest-earning assets and adjusted average cost of borrowings were attributable to the continued high interest-rate environment since February 28, 2023, as discussed above.

Adjusted net interest income of $290 million for YTD FY2024 increased $29 million, or 11%, from YTD FY2023, driven by the combined impact of an increase in average interest-earning assets of 4%.

OurDerivative Cash Settlements

We include the net periodic derivative cash settlements interest income (expense) amounts on our interest rate swaps in the calculation of our adjusted average cost of borrowings, which, as a result, also impacts the calculation of adjusted net interest income and adjusted net interest yield includeyield. Because our derivative portfolio consists of a higher proportion of pay-fixed swaps than receive-fixed swaps, the impact of net accrued periodic derivative cash settlements interest income (expense) amounts generally change based on changes in the floating interest amount received each period. When floating rates increase during the period.period, the floating interest amounts received on our pay-fixed swaps increase and, conversely, when floating rates decrease, the floating interest amounts received on our pay-fixed swaps decrease. We recorded net periodic derivative cash settlement expensesettlements interest income of $20 million and $22$38 million for the three months ended November 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $40 million and $45Q3 FY2024 compared with $19 million for Q3 FY2023, and net periodic derivative cash settlements interest income of $95 million for YTD FY2024 compared with $13 million for YTD FY2023. The increases in derivative cash settlements interest income were due to the six months ended November 30, 2017higher floating rates in Q3 FY2024 and 2016,YTD FY2024, compared to Q3 FY2023 and YTD FY2023, respectively.

Provision for LoanCredit Losses


Our provision for loancredit losses in each period is primarily driven by the levelchanges in our measurement of allowance that we determine is necessarylifetime expected credit losses for probable incurred loan losses inherent in our loan portfolio recorded in the allowance for credit losses. Our allowance for credit losses and allowance coverage ratio was $49 million and 0.14%, respectively, as of each balance sheet date.February 29, 2024. In comparison, our allowance for credit losses and allowance coverage ratio was $53 million and 0.16%, respectively, as of May 31, 2023.


We recorded a benefit for loancredit losses of less than$6 million and $11 million for Q3 FY2024 and Q3 FY2023, respectively, primarily from reductions in the asset-specific allowances for a nonperforming CFC power supply loan attributable to increases in the expected payments on the loan for both periods.

We recorded a benefit for credit losses of $5 million for YTD FY2024, resulting from a decrease of $8 million in the asset-specific allowance for a nonperforming CFC power supply loan and a recovery of $1 million forattributable to additional loan payments received from Brazos Electric Power Cooperative, Inc.

Derivative Gains (Losses)

Our derivative instruments are an integral part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Our principal purpose in using derivatives is to manage our aggregate interest rate risk profile within prescribed risk parameters. The derivative instruments we use primarily include interest rate swaps, which we typically hold to maturity. The primary factors affecting the fair value of our equity and debt investment securities, which we report together with realized gains and losses from the sale of investment securities on our consolidated statements of operations.

Derivative Gains (Losses)

As of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023, our derivatives portfolio included interest rate swap agreements not designated for hedge accounting, comprised of pay-fixed swaps and derivative gains (losses) recorded in our resultsreceive-fixed swaps, with the benchmark variable rate for the floating rate payments based on daily compounded SOFR as of operations include changes inFebruary 29, 2024. Additionally, Treasury locks may be used to manage the interest rates, the shape of the yield curverate risk associated with future debt issuance or repricing and the composition of our derivative portfolio. We generally do not designateare typically designated as cash flow hedges.

The total notional amount for our interest rate swaps was$7,345 million and $7,816 million as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023, respectively. The portfolio was primarily composed of longer-dated pay-fixed swaps, which currently accountaccounted for allapproximately 81% and 78% of our derivatives, for hedge accounting. Accordingly,the outstanding notional amount as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023, respectively. Consequently, changes in medium- and longer-term swap rates generally have a more pronounced impact on the net fair value of interest rate swaps are reported in our consolidated statements of operations under derivative gains (losses). We did not have any derivatives designated as accounting hedges as of November 30, 2017 or May 31, 2017.

We currently use two types of interest rate swap agreements: (i) we pay a fixed rate and receive a variable rate (“pay-fixed swaps”) and (ii) we pay a variable rate and receive a fixed rate (“receive-fixed swaps”). The benchmark rate for the substantial majority of the floating rate payments under our swap agreements is LIBOR. Table 5 displays the average notional amount outstanding, by swap agreement type, and the weighted-average interest rate paid and received for derivative cash settlements during the three and six months ended November 30, 2017 and 2016.portfolio. As indicated in Table 5, our derivative portfolio currently consists of a higher proportion of pay-fixed swaps than receive-fixed swaps. The profile of our derivative portfolio, however, may change as a result of changes in market conditions and actions taken to manage our interest rate risk.

The average remaining maturity of our pay-fixed and receive-fixed swaps was 19 years and four years, respectively, as of November 30, 2017, unchanged from fiscal year end May 31, 2017. In comparison,February 29, 2024, the average remaining maturity of our pay-fixed and receive-fixed swaps was 18 years and two years, respectively, compared to 19 years and three years, respectively, as of November 30, 2016.February 28, 2023.

Pay-fixed swaps generally decrease in value as interest rates decline and increase in value as interest rates rise. In contrast, receive-fixed swaps generally increase in value as interest rates decline and decrease in value as interest rates rise. Because our pay-fixed and receive-fixed swaps are referenced to different maturity terms along the swap yield curve, different changes in the swap yield curve— parallel, flattening or steepening—will result in differences in the fair value of our derivatives. The chart below provides comparative swap yield curves as of the end of November 30, 2017, August 31, 2017, May 31, 2017, November 30, 2016 and May 31, 2016.

In January 2023, we executed two Treasury lock agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $300 million to hedge interest rate risk on anticipated debt issuances. The agreements, which were scheduled to mature on December 2023, were designated as a cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction. In February 2023, we terminated the Treasury locks and recorded a settlement gain of $8 million in AOCI. As the hedged forecasted transaction did not occur in the time period specified in the hedge documentation, we reclassified the $8 million gain from AOCI to earnings as a component of derivative gains (losses) on our consolidated statements of operations during Q3 FY2024.

As a result, we did not carry any foreclosed assets on our consolidated balance sheet as of November 30, 2017 or May 31, 2017.derivative instruments.


We recorded charges related to CAH of less than $1 million for the three and six months ended November 30, 2017. These charges were attributable to legal fees. We recorded charges related to CAH of $1 million and $2 million for the three and six months ended November 30, 2016, respectively, attributable to the combined impact of adjustments recorded at the closing date of the sale of CAH, post-closing purchase price adjustments and certain legal costs incurred pertaining to CAH.

In connection with the sale of CAH, $16 million of the sale proceeds was deposited into escrow to fund potential indemnification claims for a period of 15 months following the closing. On September 27, 2017, we received a claim notice from the purchaser of CAH asserting potential indemnification claims and seeking funding from the escrow. On November 10, 2017, funds held in escrow totaling $13 million were released to CFC. The remaining $3 million remains in escrow for claims under evaluation for indemnification.

Non-Interest Expense


Non-interest expense consists of salaries and employee benefit expense, general and administrative expenses, gains and losses on the early extinguishment of debt and other miscellaneous expenses.

Non-interest expense of $45 million for the six months ended November 30, 2017 increased by $2 million, 5%, from the prior-year period. These increases were Q3 FY2023 and YTD FY2023,primarily attributable to an increase in operating expenses, driven by higher expenses recorded for salaries and benefits, information technology, and depreciation and amortization expenses. During the three months ended August 31, 2023 (“Q1 FY2024”), we redeemed $100 million of our $400 million subordinated deferrable debt due 2043, at par plus accrued interest. As a result, we recognized $1 million of losses on early extinguishment of debt related to salaries and employee benefits and other general and administrative operating expenses.the unamortized debt issuance costs.


Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests


Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests represents 100% of the results of operations of NCSC and RTFC, as the members of NCSC and RTFC own or control 100% of the interest in their respective companies. On December 1, 2023, RTFC completed the sale of its business to NCSC and subsequently CFC concluded that it is no longer the primary beneficiary of RTFC and accordingly, deconsolidated RTFC from its consolidated financial statements. The fluctuations in net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests are primarily due to changes in the fair value of NCSC’s derivative instruments recognized in NCSC'sNCSC’s earnings.

Loans The increase in loans to members totaled $24,825 million as of November 30, 2017, an increase of $458$1,880 million, or 2%6%, from May 31, 2017. The increase2023, was primarily dueattributable to annet increases in long-term and line of credit loans of $1,473 million and $407 million, respectively. The $407 million increase in line of credit loans was primarily attributable to funding provided for higher working capital requirements from our members and bridge loan financing. We experienced increases in CFC distribution loans, of $405 million, an increase in NCSC loans of $126 million and an increase in RTFC loans of $17 million, which was partially offset by a decrease in CFC power supply loans, CFC statewide and associate loans, NCSC electric and NCSC telecom loans of $91 million. $1,439 million, $294 million, $58 million, $28 million and $61 million, respectively.

Long-term loan advances totaled $1,127$2,680 million during the six months ended November 30, 2017, withYTD FY2024, of which approximately 58% of those advances95% was provided to members for capital expenditures byand approximately 5% was provided for other purposes, primarily business acquisitions. In comparison, long-term loan advances totaled $2,460 million during YTD FY2023, of which approximately 94% was provided to members for capital expenditures and 31%approximately 2% was provided for the refinancing of loans made by other lenders. Of the $2,680 million total long-term loans advanced during the YTD FY2024, $2,494 million were fixed-rate loan advances with a weighted average fixed-rate term of 12 years. In comparison, of the $2,460 million total long-term loans advanced during YTD FY2023, $2,135 million were fixed-rate loan advances with a weighted average fixed-rate term of 18 years.


Our aggregate loans outstanding to CFC electric distribution cooperative members relating to broadband projects, which we started tracking in October 2017, increased to an estimated $2,867 million as of February 29, 2024, from approximately $2,355 million as of May 31, 2023.

OurWe issue debt primarily to fund growth in our loan portfolio. As such, our debt outstanding debt volume generally increases and decreases in response to member loan demand. As outstanding loan balances increased during the six months ended November 30, 2017, our debt volume also increased. Total debt outstanding was $24,086increased $1,542 million, or 5%, to $32,541 million as of November 30, 2017, an increase of $626 million, or 3%, from May 31, 2017. The increase was primarily attributableFebruary 29, 2024, due to a netborrowings to fund the increase in member commercial paper and daily liquidity fund notes of $543 million, a net increase in dealer medium-term notes of $394 million and a net increase in notes payable under the Guaranteed Underwriter Program of $74 million. These increases were partially offset by a net decrease inloans to members. Outstanding dealer commercial paper outstandingwas $899 million as of $420 million.

Short-term borrowings totaled $3,557increased to $4,605 million as of February 29, 2024, from $4,546 million as of May 31, 2023, primarily driven by an increase in short-term notes payable advanced under the Farmer Mac revolving purchase agreement, partially offset by decreases in outstanding dealer commercial paper and short-term member investments.

members’ subordinated certificates. Our subordinated deferrable debt and members’ subordinated certificates have original contractual maturity terms of greater than one year.


Long-term and subordinated debt totaled $20,529increased to $27,937 million as of February 29, 2024, from $26,453 million as of May 31, 2023, primarily due to net increase of $2,003 million in medium term notes, $233 million in notes payable under the Farmer Mac revolving purchase agreement, $123 million in notes payable under the Guaranteed Underwriter Program, partially offset by repayments of $855 million of collateral trust bonds. Long-term and subordinated debt accounted for 86% and 85% of total debt outstanding as of November 30, 2017, compared with $20,117 million, or 86%, of total debt outstanding as of May 31, 2017. As discussed above, the increase in total debt outstanding, including long-term and subordinated debt, was primarily due to the issuance of debt to fund the growth in our loan and investments portfolios.

Collateral Pledged

We are required to pledge loans or other collateral in borrowing transactions under our collateral trust bond indentures, note purchase agreements with Farmer Mac and bond agreements under the Guaranteed Underwriter Program. We are required to maintain pledged collateral equal to at least 100% of the face amount of outstanding borrowings. However, we typically maintain pledged collateral in excess of the required percentage to ensure that required collateral levels are maintained and to facilitate the timely execution of debt issuances by reducing or eliminating the lead time to pledge additional collateral. Under the provisions of our committed bank revolving line of credit agreements, the excess collateral that we are allowed to pledge cannot exceed 150% of the outstanding borrowings under our collateral trust bond indentures, Farmer Mac note purchase agreements or the Guaranteed Underwriter Program. In certain cases, provided that all conditions of eligibility under the different programs are satisfied, we may withdraw excess pledged collateral or transfer collateral from one borrowing program to another to facilitate a new debt issuance.

Table 12 displays the collateral coverage ratios as of November 30, 2017February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2017 for the debt agreements noted above that require us to pledge collateral.2023, respectively.

As displayed above in Table 13, we had excess loans pledged as collateral totaling $2,208 million and $2,506 million as of November 30, 2017 and May 31, 2017, respectively. We typically pledge loans in excess of the required amount for the following reasons: (i) our distribution and power supply loans are typically amortizing loans that require scheduled principal payments over the life of the loan, whereas the debt securities issued under secured indentures and agreements typically have bullet maturities; (ii) distribution and power supply borrowers have the option to prepay their loans; and (iii) individual loans may become ineligible for various reasons, some of which may be temporary.

Allocation and Retirement of Patronage Capital

We are subject to District of Columbia law governing cooperatives, under which CFC is required to make annual allocations of net earnings, if any, in accordance with the provisions of the District of Columbia statutes. We describe the allocation requirements under “Item 7. MD&A—Consolidated Balance Sheet Analysis—Equity—Allocation and Retirement of fiscal year 2017 adjusted net income as follows: $90 million to membersPatronage Capital” in the form of patronage capital; $43 million to members’ capital reserve; and $1 million to the Cooperative Educational Fund.our 2023 Form 10-K. The amount of patronage capital allocated each year by CFC’s Board of Directors is based on non-GAAP adjusted non-GAAP net income, which excludes the impact of derivative forward value gains (losses). SeeWe provide a reconciliation of our adjusted net income to our reported net income and an explanation of the adjustments below in “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for information on adjusted net income.Measures and Reconciliations.”


In July 2017,May 2023, the CFC Board of Directors authorized the allocation of $1 million of net earnings for fiscal year 2023 to the cooperative educational fund. In July 2023, the CFC Board of Directors authorized the allocation of fiscal year 2023 adjusted net income as follows: $110 million to members in the form of patronage capital and $140 million to the members’ capital reserve.

In July 2023, the CFC Board of Directors also authorized the retirement of patronage capital totaling $45$72 million, of which $55 million represented 50% of the patronage capital allocation for fiscal year 20172023, and $17 million represented the portion of the allocation from fiscal year 1998 net earnings that has been held for 25 years pursuant to the CFC Board of patronage capital of $90 million.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTSENTERPRISE RISK MANAGEMENT


InOverview

CFC has an Enterprise Risk Management (“ERM”) framework that is designed to identify, assess, monitor and manage the ordinary course of business,risks we engageassume in financial transactions that are not presented onconducting our condensed consolidated balance sheets, or may be recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets in amounts that are different from the full contract or notional amount of the transaction. Our off-balance sheet arrangements consist primarily of guarantees of member obligations and unadvanced loan commitments intendedactivities to meetserve the financial needs of our members.

Guarantees

We provide guarantees for certain contractual obligations of our members to assist them in obtaining various forms of financing. Table 14 displays the notional amount of our outstanding guarantee obligations, by guarantee type and by company, as of November 30, 2017 and May 31, 2017.

Of the total notional amount of our outstanding guarantee obligations of $662 million and $890 million as of November 30, 2017 and May 31, 2017, respectively, 54% and 67%, respectively, were secured by a mortgage lien on substantially all of the assets and future revenue of the borrowers. We recorded a guarantee liability of $8 million and $15 million as of November 30, 2017 and May 31, 2017, respectively, related to the contingent and noncontingent exposures for guarantee and liquidity obligations associated with our members’ debt.

We were the liquidity provider for long-term variable-rate, tax-exempt bonds issued for our member cooperatives totaling $251 million as of November 30, 2017. We also provide a guarantee of payment of principal and interest for $251 million of these long-term variable-rate, tax-exempt bonds, which is included above in Table 14 as a component of the long-term tax-exempt bonds of $318 million as of November 30, 2017. As liquidity provider on these tax-exempt bonds, we may be required to purchase bonds that are tendered or put by investors. Investors provide notice to the remarketing agent that they will tender or put a certain amount of bonds at the next interest rate reset date. If the remarketing agent is unable to sell such bonds to other investors by the next interest rate reset date, we have unconditionally agreed to purchase such bonds. We were not required to perform as liquidity provider pursuant to these obligations during the six months ended November 30, 2017 or the prior fiscal year.

We had outstanding letters of credit for the benefit of our members totaling $230 million as of November 30, 2017, which are related to obligations for which we may be required to advance funds based on various trigger events specified in the letters of credit agreements. If we are required to advance funds, the member is obligated to repay the advance amount, and accrued interest, to us.

In addition to the letters of credit presented in Table 14, we had master letter of credit facilities in place as of November 30, 2017, under which we may be required to issue up to an additional $65 million in letters of credit to third parties for the benefit of our members. All of our master letter of credit facilities as of November 30, 2017 were subject to material adverse


change clauses at the time of issuance. Prior to issuing a letter of credit under these facilities, we confirm that there has been no material adverse change in the business or condition, financial or otherwise, of the borrower since the time the loan was approved and that the borrower is currently in compliance with the letter of credit terms and conditions.

Table 15 presents the maturities for each of the next five fiscal years and thereafter of the notional amount of our outstanding guarantee obligations as of November 30, 2017.

Unadvanced Loan Commitments

Unadvanced loan commitments represent approved and executed loan contracts for which funds have not been advanced to borrowers. Our line of credit commitments include both contracts that are subject to material adverse change clauses and contracts that are not subject to material adverse change clauses, while our long-term loan commitments are typically subject to material adverse change clauses.

Unadvanced line of credit commitments accounted for 60% of total unadvanced loan commitments as of November 30, 2017, while unadvanced long-term loan commitments accounted for 40% of total unadvanced loan commitments.


Unadvanced line of credit commitments are typically revolving facilities for periods not to exceed five years. Unadvanced line of credit commitments generally serve as supplemental back-up liquidity to our borrowers. Historically, borrowers have not drawn the full commitment amount for line of credit facilities, and we have experienced a very low utilization rate on line of credit loan facilities regardless of whether or not we are obligated to fund the facility where a material adverse change exists. Our unadvanced long-term loan commitments have a five-year draw period under which a borrower may advance funds prior to the expiration of the commitment. We expect that the majority of the long-term unadvanced loan commitments of $4,951 million will be advanced prior to the expiration of the commitment.

Because we historically have experienced a very low utilization rate on line of credit loan facilities, which account for the majority of our total unadvanced loan commitments, we believe the unadvanced loan commitment total of $12,526 million as of November 30, 2017 is not necessarily representative of our future funding cash requirements.

Unadvanced Loan Commitments—Conditional

The substantial majority of our line of credit commitments and all our unadvanced long-term loan commitments include material adverse change clauses. Unadvanced loan commitments subject to material adverse change clauses totaled $9,741 million and $9,973 million as of November 30, 2017 and May 31, 2017, respectively, and accounted for 78% and 79% of the combined total of unadvanced line of credit and long-term loan commitments as of November 30, 2017 and May 31, 2017, respectively. Prior to making advances on these facilities, we confirm that there has been no material adverse change in the borrower’s business or condition, financial or otherwise, since the time the loan was approved and confirm that the borrower is currently in compliance with loan terms and conditions. In some cases, the borrower’s access to the full amount of the facility is further constrained by use of proceeds restrictions, imposition of borrower-specific restrictions, or by additional conditions that must be met prior to advancing funds. Since we generally do not charge a fee for the borrower to have an unadvanced amount on a loan facility that is subject to a material adverse change clause, our borrowers tend to request amounts in excess of their immediate estimated loan requirements.

Unadvanced Loan Commitments—Unconditional

Unadvanced loan commitments not subject to material adverse change clauses at the time of each advance consisted of unadvanced committed lines of credit totaling $2,785 million and $2,602 million as of November 30, 2017 and May 31, 2017, respectively. For contracts not subject to a material adverse change clause, we are generally required to advance amounts on the committed facilities as long as the borrower is in compliance with the terms and conditions of the facility.

Syndicated loan facilities, where the pricing is set at a spread over LIBOR as agreed upon by all of the participating banks based on market conditions at the time of syndication, accounted for 85% of unconditional line of credit commitments as of November 30, 2017. The remaining 15% represented unconditional committed line of credit loans which under any new advance would be made at rates determined by us based on our cost, and we have the option to pass on to the borrower any cost increase related to the advance.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Overview

We face a variety of risks that can significantly affect our financial performance, liquidity, reputation and ability to meet the expectations of our members, investors and other stakeholders. As a financial services company, the major categories of risk exposures inherent in our business activities include credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk and operational risk. These risk categories are summarized below.


Credit riskis the risk that a borrower or other counterparty will be unable to meet its obligations in accordance with agreed-upon terms.


Liquidity risk is the risk that we will be unable to fund our operations and meet our contractual obligations or that we will be unable to fund new loans to borrowers at a reasonable cost and tenor in a timely manner.


Market risk is the risk that changes in market variables, such as movements in interest rates, may adversely affect the match between the timing of the contractual maturities, re-pricingrepricing and prepayments of our financial assets and the related financial liabilities funding those assets.


Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal controls, processes, systems, human error or external events.events, including natural disasters or public health emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Operational risk also includes cybersecurity risk, compliance risk, fiduciary risk, reputational risk and litigation risk.


Effective risk management is critical to our overall operations and into achieving our primary objective of providing cost-based financial products to our rural electric members while maintaining the sound financial results required for investment-gradeinvestment-

grade credit ratings on our rated debt instruments. Accordingly, we have a risk managementrisk-management framework that is intended to govern the principal risks we face in conducting our business and the aggregate amount of risk we are willing to accept, referred to as risk appetite,tolerance as well as risk limits and related guidelines, in the context of CFC’s mission and strategic objectives and initiatives. We provide information ona discussion of our risk management framework in our 20172023 Form 10-K under “Item 7. MD&A—Enterprise Risk Management—Risk Management Framework.”Management” and describe how we manage these risks under each respective MD&A section in our 2023 Form 10-K.

CREDIT RISK


Our loan portfolio, which represents the largest component of assets on our balance sheet, and guarantees accountaccounts for the substantial majority of our credit risk exposure. We also engage in certain non-lendingnonlending activities that may give rise to counterparty credit and counterparty settlement risk, including the purchase of investment securities andsuch as entering into derivative transactions to manage our interest rate risk. risk and purchasing investment securities. We provide additional information on our credit risk-management framework under “Item 7. MD&A—Credit Risk—Credit Risk Management” in our 2023 Form 10-K.

Loan Portfolio Credit Risk

Our primary credit exposure is loans to rural electric cooperatives, thatwhich provide essential electric services to end-users, the majority of which are residential customers. We also have a limited portfolio of loans to not-for-profit and for-profit telecommunication companies. The substantial majority of loans to our borrowers are long-term fixed-rate loans with terms of up to 35 years. Long-term fixed-rate loans accounted for 88% and 87% of total loans outstanding as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023, respectively.


Credit RiskBecause we lend primarily to our rural electric utility cooperative members, we have had a loan portfolio inherently subject to single-industry and single-obligor credit concentration risk since our inception in 1969. We historically, however, have experienced limited defaults and losses in our electric utility loan portfolio due to several factors. First, the majority of our electric cooperative borrowers operate in states where electric cooperatives are not subject to rate regulation. Thus, they are able to make rate adjustments to pass along increased costs to the end customer without first obtaining state regulatory approval, allowing them to cover operating costs and generate sufficient earnings and cash flows to service their debt obligations. Second, electric cooperatives face limited competition, as they tend to operate in exclusive territories not serviced by public investor-owned utilities. Third, electric cooperatives typically are consumer-owned, not-for-profit entities that provide an essential service to end-users, the majority of which are residential customers. As not-for-profit entities, rural electric cooperatives, unlike investor-owned utilities, generally are eligible to apply for assistance from the Federal Emergency Management

We manage portfolio Agency (“FEMA”) and borrower credit risk consistent with credit policies established by the CFC Board of Directorsstates to help recover from major disasters or emergencies. Fourth, electric cooperatives tend to adhere to a conservative core business strategy model that has historically resulted in a relatively stable, resilient operating environment and through credit underwriting, approval and monitoring processes and practices adopted by management. Our board-established credit policies include guidelines regarding the types of credit products we offer, limits on credit we extend to individual borrowers, approval authorities delegated to management, and use of syndications and loan sales. We maintain an internal risk rating system in which we assign a rating to each borroweroverall strong financial performance and credit facility. We review and updatestrength for the electric cooperative network. Finally, we generally lend to our members on a senior secured basis, which reduces the risk ratings at least annually. Assigned risk ratings inform our credit approval,of loss in the event of a borrower monitoring and portfolio review processes. Our Corporate Credit Committee approves individual credit actions within its own authority and together with our Credit Risk Management group, establishes standards for credit underwriting, oversees credits deemed to be higher risk, reviews assigned risk ratings for accuracy, and monitors the overall credit quality and performance statistics of our loan portfolio and guarantees.default.





Loan and Guarantee Portfolio Credit Risk


Below we provide information on the credit risk profile of our loan portfolio, and guarantees, including security provisions, loancredit concentration, credit performancequality indicators and our allowance for loancredit losses.


Security Provisions


Except when providing line of credit loans, we generally lend to our members on a senior secured basis. Long-term loans are generally secured on parity with other secured lenders (primarily RUS), if any, by all assets and revenue of the borrower with exceptions typical in utility mortgages. Line of credit loans are generally unsecured. In addition to the collateral pledged to secure our loans, distribution and power supply borrowers also are required to set rates charged to customers to achieve certain specified financial ratios.

Table 1912 presents, by loan typelegal entity and member class and by company, the amount and percentage ofloan type, secured and unsecured loans in our loan portfolio as of November 30, 2017February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2017.2023. Of our total loans outstanding, 91% and 92% were secured and 8% were unsecured as of both November 30, 2017February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2017.2023, respectively.

Table of our strategy in managing our credit risk exposure, we entered into a long-term standby purchase commitment agreement with Farmer Mac on August 31, 2015, as amended on May 31, 2016. Under this agreement, we may designate certain loans to be covered under the commitment, as approved by Farmer Mac, and in the event any such loan later goes into payment default for at least 90 days, upon request by us, Farmer Mac must purchase such loan at par value. The outstanding principal balance of loans covered under this agreement totaled $792 million as of November 30, 2017, compared with $843 million as of May 31, 2017. No loans have been put to Farmer Mac for purchase pursuant to this agreement. In addition, RUS guaranteed long-term loans totaling $164 million and $167 million as of November 30, 2017 and May 31, 2017, respectively.Contents

Credit Concentration


Concentrations of credit may exist when a lender has large credit exposures to single borrowers, large credit exposures to borrowers in the same industry sector or engaged in similar activities or large credit exposures to borrowers in a geographic region that would cause the borrowers to be similarly impacted by economic or other conditions in the region.As a tax-exempt, member-owned finance cooperative, CFC’s principal purpose isdiscussed above under “Credit Risk—Loan Portfolio Credit Risk,” because we lend primarily to provide funding to America’sour rural electric utility cooperativescooperative members, our loan portfolio is inherently subject to assist them in acquiring, constructingsingle-industry and operatingsingle-obligor credit concentration risk. Loans outstanding to electric distribution, transmissionutility organizations totaled $33,850 million and related facilities. We serve electric $32,032 million as of February 29, 2024 and telecommunications members throughout the United StatesMay 31, 2023, respectively, and its territories, including 49 states, the District represented approximately 98% and 99% of Columbia, American Samoa and Guam. Texas had the largest concentration of outstanding loans to borrowers in any one state, with approximately 15% ofour total loans outstanding as of both November 30, 2017each respective date. Our credit exposure is partially mitigated by long-term loans guaranteed by RUS, which totaled $116 million and $123 million as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2017. Our consolidated membership totaled 1,459 members and 217 associates as of November 30, 2017. As such, we have a loan portfolio with single-industry and single-obligor concentration risk. Outstanding loans to electric utility organizations represented approximately 99% of the total outstanding loan portfolio as of November 30, 2017, unchanged from May 31, 2017. The remaining outstanding loans in our portfolio were to RTFC members, affiliates and associates in the telecommunications industry.2023, respectively.

We entered into a long-term standby purchase commitment agreement with Farmer Mac during fiscal year 2016. Under this agreement, we may designate certain long-term loans to be covered under the commitment, subject to approval by Farmer Mac, and in the event any such loan later goes into payment default for at least 90 days, upon request by us, Farmer Mac must purchase such loan at par value. The aggregate unpaid principal balance of designated and Farmer Mac approved loans was $398 million and $436 million as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023, respectively. Loan exposure to our 20 largest borrowers covered under the Farmer Mac agreement totaled $235 million and $267 million as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023, respectively, which reduced our exposure to the 20 largest borrowers to 19% as of each respective date. No loans have been put to Farmer Mac for purchase pursuant to this agreement.

Geographic Concentration

Although our organizational structure and mission result in single-industry concentration, we serve a geographically diverse group of electric and telecommunications borrowers throughout the U.S. The consolidated number of borrowers with loans outstanding totaled 893 and 884 as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023, respectively, located in 49 states and the District of Columbia. Of the 893 and 884 borrowers with loans outstanding as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023, respectively, 50 and 52 were electric power supply borrowers as of each respective date. Electric power supply borrowers generally require significantly more capital than electric distribution and telecommunications borrowers.

Credit Performance

As partTexas, which had 67 and 69 borrowers with loans outstanding as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023, respectively, accounted for the largest number of borrowers with loans outstanding in any one state as of each respective date, as well as the largest concentration of loan exposure in any one state. Loans outstanding to Texas-based borrowers totaled $5,688 million and $5,529 million as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023, respectively, and accounted for approximately 16% and 17% of total loans outstanding as of each respective date. Of the loans outstanding to Texas-based borrowers, $133 million and $155 million as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023, respectively, were covered by the Farmer Mac standby repurchase agreement, which reduced our credit risk managementexposure to Texas-based borrowers to $5,555 million and $5,373 million as of each respective date. See “Note 4—Loans” for information on the Texas-based number of borrowers and loans outstanding by legal entity and member class.

Credit Quality Indicators

Assessing the overall credit quality of our loan portfolio and measuring our credit risk is an ongoing process wethat involves tracking payment status, modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, nonperforming loans, charge-offs, the internal risk ratings of our borrowers and other indicators of credit risk. We monitor and evaluatesubject each borrower and loan facility in our loan portfolio and assign numeric internalto an individual risk ratingsassessment based on quantitative and qualitative assessments. Our ratings are intended to align with the federal banking regulatory credit risk rating classification definitions of pass, special mention, substandardfactors. Payment status trends and doubtful. The special mention, substandard, and doubtful categories are intended to comply with the definition of criticized loans by the banking regulatory authorities. Internalinternal risk ratings and payment status trends are indicators, among others, of the levelprobability of borrower default and overall credit risk inquality of our loan portfolio.

The We believe the overall credit riskquality of our loan portfolio remained low, as evidenced by our strong asset quality metrics, including senior secured positions on most of our loans and low levels of criticized exposure, nonaccrual loans and charge-offs. As displayed in Table 19 above, 92% of our total outstanding loans were secured as of both November 30, 2017 and May 31, 2017. As displayed in “Note 4—Loans and Commitments,” 0.5% of the loans in our portfolio were classified as criticized as of both November 30, 2017 and May 31, 2017. Below we provide information on certain additional credit quality indicators, including modified loans that are consideredFebruary 29, 2024.

Loan Modifications to be troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”), nonperforming loans and net charge-offs.Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty

Troubled Debt Restructurings


We actively monitor problem loans and, from time to time, attempt to work with borrowers to manage such exposures through loan workouts or modifications that better align with the borrower’s current ability to pay. A Therefore, as part of our loss mitigation efforts, we may provide modifications to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty to improve long-term collectability of the loan and to avoid the need for exercising remedies. We consider the impact of all loan modifications when estimating the credit quality of our loan portfolio and establishing the allowance for credit losses.

On June 1, 2023, we adopted ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) – Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, using the prospective adoption method. The ASU eliminated the accounting guidance for TDRs and enhanced the disclosure requirements for loan refinancings and restructurings made with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, which are to be applied prospectively. For additional information on the adoption of ASU 2022-02 see “Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”

We had no loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during Q3 FY2024. We had one loan modification to a NCSC telecom borrower experiencing financial difficulty during YTD FY2024. This loan received a term extension and had an amortized cost of $3 million as of February 29, 2024, representing 1% of the NCSC telecom loan portfolio. Loans modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty totaled $3 million as of February 29, 2024, consisting of one NCSC telecom loan as discussed above, which wasperforming in accordance with the terms of the loan agreement. There were no unadvanced loan commitments related to this loan.

Troubled Debt Restructurings—Prior to Adoption of ASU 2022-02

As discussed above, ASU 2022-02 eliminated the accounting guidance for TDRs. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2022-02, a loan restructuring or modification of terms is accounted for as a TDR if, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, a concession is granted to the borrower that we would notnot otherwise consider. TDR

We had loans generally are initially placed on nonaccrual status, although in many cases such loans were already on nonaccrual status prioroutstanding to modification. Interest accrued but not collected at the date a loan is placed on nonaccrual status is reversed against earnings. These loans may be returned to performing status and the accrual of interest resumed if the borrower performs under the modified terms for an extended period of time, and we expect the borrower to continue to perform in accordance with the modified terms. In certain limited circumstances intwo borrowers totaling $8 million which a TDR loan is current at the modification date, the loan may remain on accrual status at the time of modification.

Table 21 presents the carrying value of loans modified as TDRs in prior periods as of November 30, 2017 and May 31, 2017. These loans were considered individually impaired as of the end of each period presented.

As indicated in Table 21, we did not have any TDR loans classified as nonperforming as of November 30, 2017 or May 31, 2017. TDR loans classified as performing as of November 30, 2017 and May 31, 2017 werebeen performing in accordance with the terms of their respective restructured loan agreement for an extended period of time and were classified as performing TDR loans and on accrual status as of May 31, 2023. We had loans outstanding to Brazos totaling $23 million classified as nonperforming TDR loans during Q3 FY2023, which were on non-accrual status as of May 31, 2023. During Q1 FY2024, we received the respective reported dates.remaining payment of Brazos’ loans outstanding of $23 million in accordance with the provisions of Brazos’ plan of reorganization to repay its loans in full. Prior to the Brazos loan restructuring, we have not had any loan modifications that were required to be accounted for as TDRs since fiscal year 2016.

Nonperforming Loans


In addition to TDR loans that may be classified as nonperforming, we also may have nonperforming loans that have not been modified as a TDR loan. We classify such loans as nonperforming at the earlier of the date when we determine: (i) interest or principal payments on the loan is past due 90 days or more; (ii) as a result of court proceedings, the collection of interest or principal payments based on the original contractual terms is not expected; or (iii) the full and timely collection of interest or principal is otherwise uncertain. Once a loan is classified as nonperforming, we generally place the loan on nonaccrual status. Interest accrued but not collected at the date a loan is placed on nonaccrual status is reversed against earnings.

We had no loansa loan to one CFC electric power supply borrower totaling $85 million classified as nonperforming as of November 30, 2017 orFebruary 29, 2024. In comparison, we had loans to two CFC electric power supply borrowers totaling $89 million classified as nonperforming as of May 31, 2017. In addition, we did not have any past due2023. Nonperforming loans represented 0.25% and 0.27% of total loans outstanding as of either November 30, 2017 orFebruary 29, 2024 and May 31, 2017.2023, respectively. The reduction in nonperforming loans of $4 million was due to the receipt of $4 million in loan payments from Brazos Sandy Creek to pay off its nonperforming loan outstanding during the YTD FY2024. In March 2024, we received a $36 million payment on the outstanding nonperforming loan, which reduced its balance to $49 million as of the date of this Report.


We provide additional information on the credit quality of our loan portfoliononperforming loans in “Note 4—Loans and Commitments.Loans—Credit Quality Indicators—Nonperforming Loans.


Net Charge-Offs


Table 22 presentsWe had no loan charge-offs or recoveries during Q3 FY2024 and Q3 FY2023. We recorded $1 million in net loan recoveries to previously charged-off loan amounts during YTD FY2024. We received a total of $28 million in loan payments from Brazos and Brazos Sandy Creek to repay their $27 million of total loans outstanding in full during YTD FY2024. The additional payments received totaling $1 million were recorded as net loan recoveries on the Brazos and Brazos Sandy Creek previously charged-off loan amounts during YTD FY2024. In comparison, we experienced net charge-offs totaling $15 million for the CFC electric power supply loan portfolio related to Brazos and Brazos Sandy Creek nonperforming loans during YTD FY2023, which resulted in an annualized net charge-off rate of 0.06%for the threeYTD FY2023. Prior to Brazos’ and six months ended November 30,Brazos Sandy Creek’s bankruptcy filings, we had not experienced any defaults or charge-offs in our electric utility and telecommunications loan portfolios since fiscal year 2013 and 2017, and 2016.respectively.

As displayed in Table 22,part of our management of credit risk, we experienced no charge-offs duringmaintain a credit risk rating framework under which we employ a consistent process for assessing the current quarter and the six months ended November 30, 2017. Charge-offs totaled $2 million during the six months ended November 30, 2016, allcredit quality of which were related to


telecommunications loans in the RTFC portfolio. Our average annual net charge-off rate has been less than 0.01% over the last three fiscal years.

Allowance for Loan Losses

The allowance for loan losses is determined based upon evaluation of the loan portfolio, past loss experience, specific problem loans, economic conditions and other pertinent factors that, in management’s judgment, could affect the risk of loss in theour loan portfolio. We reviewevaluate each borrower and adjust the allowance quarterly to cover estimated probable losses inherentloan facility in our loan portfolio and assign internal borrower and loan facility risk ratings based on consideration of a number of quantitative and qualitative factors. We categorize loans in our portfolio based on our internally assigned borrower risk ratings, which are intended to assess the general creditworthiness of the borrower and probability of default. Our borrower risk ratings align with the U.S. federal banking regulatory agencies’ credit risk definitions of pass and criticized categories, with the criticized category further segmented among special mention, substandard and doubtful. Pass ratings reflect relatively low probability of default, while criticized ratings have a higher probability of default. Our internally assigned borrower risk ratings serve as the primary credit quality indicator for our loan portfolio. Because our internal borrower risk ratings provide important information on the probability of default, they are a key input in determining our allowance for credit losses.

Criticized loans totaled $268 million and $323 million as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023, respectively, and represented approximately 1% of total loans outstanding as of each balance sheetrespective date. The decrease of $55 million in criticized loans was primarily due to loan payments received from Brazos and Brazos Sandy Creek in the doubtful category and a decrease in loans outstanding for one CFC electric distribution borrower in the special mention category during YTD FY2024. Each of the borrowers with loans outstanding in the criticized category was current with regard to all principal and interest amounts due to us as of February 29, 2024. In contrast, each of the borrowers with loans outstanding in the criticized category, with the exception of Brazos Sandy Creek, was current with regard to all principal and interest amounts due to us as of May 31, 2023.

We provide additional information on our borrower risk rating framework in our 2023 Form 10-K under “Item 7. MD&A Credit Risk—Loan Portfolio Credit Risk—Credit Quality Indicators.” See “Note 4—Loans” of this Report for detail, by member class, on loans outstanding in each borrower risk rating category.

Allowance for Credit Losses

We are required to maintain an allowance based on a current estimate of credit losses that are expected to occur over the remaining contractual term of the loans in our portfolio. Our allowance for credit losses consists of a collective allowance and an asset-specific allowance. The collective allowance is established for loans in our portfolio that share similar risk characteristics and are therefore evaluated on a collective, or pool, basis in measuring expected credit losses. The asset-specific allowance is established for loans in our portfolio that do not share similar risk characteristics with other loans in our portfolio and are therefore evaluated on an individual basis in measuring expected credit losses.

Table 14 presents, by legal entity and member class, loans outstanding and the related allowance for credit losses and allowance coverage ratio as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023 and the allowance components as of each date.

Counterparty Credit Risk


We are exposedIn addition to credit exposure from our borrowers, we enter into other types of financial transactions in the ordinary course of business that expose us to counterparty credit risk, primarily related to the performance of the parties with which we entered into financial transactions primarily for derivative instruments,involving our cash time deposits and cash equivalents, securities held in our investment securities that we have with various financial institutions. Toportfolio and derivatives. We mitigate thisour risk weby only enterentering into these transactions with financial institutionscounterparties with investment-grade ratings. ratings, establishing operational guidelines and counterparty exposure limits and monitoring our counterparty credit risk position. We evaluate our counterparties based on certain quantitative and qualitative factors and periodically assign internal risk rating grades to our counterparties.

Cash and Investments Securities Counterparty Credit Exposure

Our cash and time depositscash equivalents and investment securities totaled $145 million and $372 million, respectively, as of February 29, 2024. The primary credit exposure associated with investments held in our investments portfolio is that issuers will not repay principal and interest in accordance with the contractual terms. Our cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions generally have an original maturity of less than one year.year and pursuant to our investment policy guidelines, all fixed-income debt securities, at the time of purchase, must be rated at least investment grade based on external credit ratings from at least two of the leading global credit rating agencies, when available, or the corresponding equivalent, when not available. We therefore believe that the risk of default by these counterparties is low. As of February 29, 2024, our overall counterparty credit risk was deemed to be satisfactory and not materially changed compared with May 31, 2023.



We provide additional information on the holdings in our investment portfolio below under “Liquidity Risk—Investment Portfolio” and in “Note 3—Investment Securities.”

Derivative Counterparty Credit Exposure

Our derivative counterparty credit exposure relates principally to interest-rate swap contracts. We generally engage in over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivative transactions, which expose us to individual counterparty credit risk because these transactions are executed and settled directly between us and each counterparty. We are exposed to the risk that an individual derivative counterparty defaults on payments due to us, which we may not be able to collect or which may require us to seek a replacement derivative from a different counterparty. This replacement may be at a higher cost, or we may be unable to find a suitable replacement.

We manage our derivative counterparty credit risk by requiring that derivative counterparties participate in oneexposure through diversification of our committed bank revolving line ofderivative positions among various counterparties and by executing derivative transactions with financial institutions that have investment-grade credit agreements, monitoring the overall credit worthiness of each counterparty, using counterparty specific credit risk limits, executingratings and maintaining enforceable master netting arrangements with these counterparties, which allow us to net derivative assets and diversifyingliabilities with the same counterparty. We also manage the credit risk associated with our derivative transactions among multiple counterparties. Ourcounterparties by using internal credit risk analysis, limits and monitoring process. We had 12 active derivative counterparties hadwith credit ratings ranging from A1Aa1 to Baa2Baa1 by Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”)as of both February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023, and from AA- to BBB+ and AA- to A- by S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”) as of November 30, 2017. Our largest counterparty exposure, based on theFebruary 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023, respectively. The total outstanding notional amount representedof derivatives with these counterparties was $7,345 million and $7,816 million as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023, respectively. The highest single derivative counterparty concentration, by outstanding notional amount, accounted for approximately 24% and 23% of the total outstanding notional amount of our derivatives as of both November 30, 2017February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2017,2023, respectively.


Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features

OurWhile our derivative agreements include netting provisions that allow for offsetting of all contracts typically contain mutual early termination provisions, generallywith a given counterparty in the formevent of a credit rating trigger. Under the mutual credit rating trigger provisions, either counterparty may, but is not obligated to, terminate and settle the agreement if the credit ratingdefault by one of the other counterparty falls totwo parties, we report the fair value of our derivatives on a level specified in the agreement. Ifgross basis by

individual contract as either a derivative contractasset or derivative liability on our consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of our derivatives includes credit valuation adjustments reflecting counterparty credit risk. We estimate our exposure to credit loss on our derivatives by calculating the replacement cost to settle at current market prices, as defined in our derivative agreements, all outstanding derivatives in a net gain position at the counterparty level where a right of legal offset exists. We provide information on the impact of netting provisions under our master swap agreements and collateral pledged, if any, in “Note 9—Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—Impact of Derivatives on Consolidated Balance Sheets.” We believe our exposure to derivative counterparty risk, at any point in time, is terminated, the amount to be received or paid by us would be equal to the mark-to-market value, as definedamount of our outstanding derivatives in a net gain position, at the agreement,individual counterparty level, which totaled $530 million and $349 million as of the termination date.February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023, respectively.


Our senior unsecured credit ratings from Moody’s and S&P were A2 and A, respectively, asWe provide additional detail on our derivative agreements, including a discussion of November 30, 2017. Both Moody’s and S&P had our ratings on stable outlook as of November 30, 2017. Table 24 displays the notional amounts of our derivative contracts with credit rating triggers as of November 30, 2017, and the payments that would be required if the contracts were terminated as of that date because of a downgrade of our unsecured credit ratings or the counterparty’s unsecured credit ratings below A3/A-, below Baa1/BBB+ to or below Baa2/BBB, below Baa3/BBB- or to or below Ba2/BB+ by Moody’s or S&P, respectively. In calculating the paymentsettlement amounts that would be required upon termination of the derivative contracts, we assumed that the amounts for each counterparty would be netted in accordance with the provisions of the counterparty's master netting agreements. The net payment amounts are based on the fair value of the underlying derivative instrument, excluding the credit risk valuation adjustment, plus any unpaid accrued interest amounts.

The aggregate fair value amount, including the credit risk valuation adjustment, of all interest rate swaps with rating triggers that were in a net liability position was $173 million as of November 30, 2017. There were no counterparties that fell below the rating trigger levels in our interest swap contracts as of November 30, 2017. If a counterparty has a credit rating that falls below the rating trigger level specified in the interest swap contract, we have the option to terminate all derivatives with the counterparty. However, we generally do not terminate such agreements early because our interest rate swaps are critical to our matched funding strategy.event of a ratings trigger, in “Note 9—Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.”

Borrowing CapacityAlthough as a nonbank financial institution we are not subject to regulatory liquidity requirements, our liquidity management framework includes monitoring our liquidity and funding positions on an ongoing basis and assessing our ability to meet our scheduled debt obligations and other cash flow requirements based on point-in-time metrics as well as forward-looking projections. Our liquidity and funding assessment takes into consideration amounts available under existing liquidity sources, the expected rollover of member short-term investments and scheduled loan principal payment amounts, as well as our continued ability to access the capital markets and other non-capital market related funding sources.


Liquidity Risk Assessment

We utilize several measures to assess our liquidity risk and ensure we have adequate coverage to meet our liquidity needs. Our primary liquidity measures indicate the extent to which we have sufficient liquidity to cover the payment of scheduled debt obligations over the next 12 months. We calculate our liquidity coverage ratios under several scenarios that take into consideration various assumptions about our near-term sources and uses of liquidity, including the assumption that maturities of member short-term investments will not have a significant impact on our anticipated cash outflows. Our members have historically maintained a relatively stable level of short-term investments in CFC in the form of daily liquidity fund notes, commercial paper, select notes and medium-term notes. As such, we expect that our members will continue to reinvest their excess cash in short-term investment products offered by CFC.

Table 16 presents our primary liquidity coverage ratios as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023 and displays the calculation of each ratio as of these respective dates based on the assumptions discussed above.

(3)Calculated based on available liquidity at period end divided by debt, excluding member short-term investments, scheduled to mature over the next 12 months.

As presented in Table 16 above, our available liquidity of $6,595 million as of February 29, 2024 was $358 million below our total scheduled debt obligations over the next 12 months of $6,953 million, consisting of short-term borrowings and long-term and subordinated debt. The short-term borrowings scheduled maturity amount consists of member investments of $3,206 million, dealer commercial paper of $899 million and Farmer Mac notes payable of $500 million. The long-term and subordinated scheduled debt obligations over the next 12 months of $2,348 million consist of debt maturities and scheduled debt payment amounts, of which, $149 million was from member investments.

We believe we can continue to roll over our member short-term investments of $3,206 million as of February 29, 2024, based on our expectation that our members will continue to reinvest their excess cash in short-term investment products offered by CFC. As mentioned above, our members historically have maintained a relatively stable level of short-term investments in CFC. Member short-term investments in CFC have averaged $3,543 million over the last 12 fiscal quarter-end reporting periods. Our available liquidity as of February 29, 2024 was $2,848 million in excess of, or 1.8 times over, our total scheduled debt obligations, excluding member short-term investments, over the next 12 months of $3,747 million. In addition, we expect to cash,receive $1,535 million from scheduled long-term loan principal payments over the next 12 months.

We expect to continue accessing the dealer commercial paper market as a cost-effective means of satisfying our incremental short-term liquidity needs. Although the intra-quarter amount of dealer commercial paper outstanding may fluctuate based on our liquidity reserve includes accessrequirements, our intent is to funds undermanage our short-term wholesale funding risk by maintaining the dealer commercial paper outstanding at each quarter-end within a range of $1,000 million to $1,500 million. To mitigate commercial paper rollover risk, we expect to continue to maintain our committed bank revolving line of credit agreements and be in compliance with banks,the covenants of these agreements so we can draw on these facilities, if necessary, to repay dealer or member commercial paper that cannot be refinanced with similar debt. In addition, under master repurchase agreements we have with our bank counter parties, we can obtain short-term funding in secured borrowing transactions by selling
31


investment-grade corporate debt securities from our investment securities portfolio subject to an obligation to repurchase the same or similar securities at an agreed-upon price and date.

The issuance of long-term debt, which represents the most significant component of our funding, allows us to reduce our reliance on short-term borrowings, as well as effectively manage our refinancing and interest rate risk. We expect to continue to issue long-term debt in the public capital markets and under our other non-capital market debt arrangements to meet our funding needs and believe that we have sufficient sources of liquidity to meet our debt obligations and support our operations over the next 12 months.

Investment Securities Portfolio

We have an investment portfolio of debt securities classified as trading and equity securities, both of which are reported on our consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Our debt securities investment portfolio is intended to serve as an additional source of liquidity. Under master repurchase agreements that we have with counterparties, we can obtain short-term funding by selling investment-grade corporate debt securities from our investment portfolio subject to an obligation to repurchase the same or similar securities at an agreed-upon price and date. Because we retain effective control over the transferred securities, transactions under these repurchase agreements are accounted for as collateralized financing agreements (i.e., secured borrowings) and not as a sale and subsequent repurchase of securities. The obligation to repurchase the securities is reflected as a component of our short-term borrowings on our consolidated balance sheets. The aggregate fair value of debt securities underlying repurchase transactions is parenthetically disclosed on our consolidated balance sheets. We had no borrowings under repurchase agreements outstanding as of both February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023; therefore, we had no debt securities in our investment portfolio pledged as collateral as of each respective date.

Our investment portfolio also included equity securities with a fair value of $37 million and $35 million as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023, respectively, consisting primarily of preferred stock securities that are not as readily redeemable, therefore, we excluded the equity securities from our available liquidity.

We provide additional information on our investment securities portfolio in “Note 3—Investment Securities” of this Report.

Borrowing Capacity Under Various Credit Facilities

The aggregate borrowing capacity under our committed bank revolving line of credit agreements, committed loan facilities under the Guaranteed Underwriter Program and our revolving note purchase agreementsagreement with Farmer Mac. FollowingMac totaled $18,723 million and $18,073 million as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023, respectively, and the aggregate amount available for access totaled $6,115 million and $6,473 million as of each respective date. The following is a discussion of our borrowing capacity and key terms and conditions under each of these credit facilities.




Committed Bank Revolving Line of Credit Agreements—Unsecured


Our committed bank revolving lines of credit may be used for general corporate purposes; however, we generally rely on them as a backup source of liquidity for our member and dealer commercial paper. We had $3,085 million of commitments underOn November 20, 2023, we amended the three-year and four-year committed bank revolving line of credit agreements asto extend the maturity dates to November 28, 2026 and November 28, 2027, respectively, and to include a $100 million swingline facility under each agreement. In connection with the amendments to the revolving line of credit agreements, commitments from the existing banks increased by $100 million under each of the three-year and four-year revolving credit agreements. Commitments of $150 million under each agreement will expire at the prior maturity dates of November 30, 2017.28, 2025 and November 28, 2026. The total commitment amount under the three-year facility and the four-year facility was $1,345 million and $1,455 million, respectively, resulting in a combined total commitment amount under the two facilities of $2,800 million. Under our current committed bank revolving line of credit agreements, we have the ability to request up to $300 million of letters of credit, which would result in a reduction in the remaining available amount under the facilities.


On November 20, 2017, we amended and restated the three-year and five-year committed bank revolving line of credit agreements to extend the maturity dates to November 20, 2020 and November 20, 2022, respectively, and to terminate certain third-party bank commitments totaling $40 million under the three-year agreement and $40 million under the five- year agreement. As a result,Table 17 presents the total commitment amount from third-parties under the three-year facility and the five-year facility is $1,493 million and $1,592 million, respectively, resulting in a combined total commitment amount under the two facilities of $3,085 million.

Table 26 presents the total commitment, the net amount available for use and the outstanding letters of credit under our committed bank revolving line of credit agreements, outstanding letters of credit and the amount available for access as of November 30, 2017.

Guaranteed Underwriter Program Committed Facilities—Secured


Under the Guaranteed Underwriter Program, we can borrow from the Federal Financing Bank and use the proceeds to extend new loans to our members and refinance existing indebtedness.member debt. As part of the program, we pay fees, based on our outstanding borrowings, that supportare intended to help fund the USDA Rural Economic Development Loan and Grant program.program and thereby support additional investment in rural economic development projects. The borrowings under this program are guaranteed by the RUS. Each advance is subject to quarterly amortization and a final maturity not longer than 30 years from the date of the advance.

Farmer Mac Revolving Note Purchase Agreements—Agreement—Secured


As indicated in Table 25, weWe have two revolving note purchase agreements with Farmer Mac, which together allow us to borrow up to $4,800 million from Farmer Mac. Under the terms of the firsta revolving note purchase agreement with Farmer Mac dated March 24, 2011, as amended, under which we can borrow up to $6,000 million from Farmer Mac at any time, subject to market conditions, up to $4,500 million at any time through January 11, 2020, and such date shall automatically extend on each anniversary date of the closing for an additional year,June 30, 2027.

Under this agreement, allows us to borrow, repay and re-borrow funds at any time through maturity, as market conditions permit, provided that the outstanding principal amount at any time does not exceed the total available under the agreement. Each borrowing under the note purchase agreement is evidenced by a pricing agreement setting forth the interest rate, maturity date and other related terms as we may negotiate with Farmer Mac at the time of each such borrowing. We may select a fixed rate or variable rate at the time of each advance with a maturity as determined in the applicable pricing agreement. We had outstanding secured notes payable totaling $2,491$3,883 million and $2,513$3,150 million as of November 30, 2017February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2017, respectively,2023, respectively. We borrowed $500 million in short-term notes payable and $300 million in long-term notes payable under the Farmer Mac revolving note purchase agreement of $4,500 million. The available borrowing amount totaled $2,009 million as of November 30, 2017.

Under the terms of the second revolvingthis note purchase agreement with Farmer Mac dated July 31, 2015, we can borrow up to $300 million at any time through July 31, 2018 at a fixed spread over LIBOR. This agreement also allows us to borrow, repay and re-borrow funds at any time through maturity, provided thatduring YTD FY2024. As displayed in Table 15, the outstanding principal amount at any time does not exceed the total available under the agreement. We had no outstanding notes payablefor borrowing under this agreement was $2,117 million as of November 30, 2017 and May 31, 2017.February 29, 2024. We currently do not expect to renew this agreement.

Pursuant to both Farmer Mac revolving note purchase agreements, we are required to pledge eligible electric distribution system or electric power supply system loans as collateral in an amount at least equal to the total principal amount of notes outstanding. See “Consolidated Balance Sheet Analysis—Debt—Collateral Pledged” and “Note 4—Loans and Commitments” foroutstanding under this agreement.

Short-Term Borrowings


We rely onOur short-term borrowings, which we refer to as our short-term funding portfolio, as a sourcerely on to meet our daily, near-term funding needs. Our short-term funding portfolio consistsneeds, consist of commercial paper, which we offer to members and dealers, select notes and daily liquidity fund notes offered to members, and bank-bid notes and medium-term notes offered to members and dealers. Table 27 displays the composition of our short-termdealers and funds from repurchase secured borrowing transactions.

Short-term borrowings increased $59 million to $4,605 million as of November 30, 2017 andFebruary 29, 2024, from $4,546 million as of May 31, 2017.

Long-Term and Subordinated Debt


Long-term and subordinated debt, which represents the most significant componentsource of our funding. funding, totaled $27,937 million and $26,453 million as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023, respectively, and accounted for 86% and 85% of total debt outstanding as of each respective date. See Table 19 below for a summary of our long-term and subordinated debt issuances and repayments during YTD FY2024.

The issuance of long-term debt allows us to reduce our reliance on short-term borrowings and effectively manage our refinancing and interest rate risk, due in part to the multi-year contractual maturity structure of long-term debt. In addition to access to private debt facilities, we also issue debt in the public capital markets. UnderPursuant to Rule 405 of the SEC rules,Securities Act, we are classified as a “well-known seasoned issuer.” In November 2017, we filed a newUnder our effective shelf registration statement for our seniorstatements filed with the U.S. Securities and subordinatedExchange Commission (“SEC”), we may offer and issue the following debt securities under which we can register securities:

an unlimited amount of collateral trust bonds and senior and subordinated debt securities, including medium-term notes, member capital securities and subordinated deferrable debt, until November 2020.October 2026; and
daily liquidity fund notes up to $20,000 million in the aggregate—with a $3,000 million limit on the aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time—until March 2025.

Although we register member capital securities and the daily liquidity fund notes with the SEC, these securities are not available for sale to the general public. Medium-term notes are available for sale to both the general public and members. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we have contractual limitations with respect to the amount of senior indebtedness we may incur. See “MD&A—Liquidity Risk” of our 2017 Form 10-K for additional information on our shelf registration statements with the SEC.


As discussed in Consolidated Balance Sheet Analysis—Long-Term Debt long-term and subordinated debt totaled $20,529 millionSubordinated Debt—Issuances and accounted for 85% of total debt outstanding as of November 30, 2017, compared with $20,117 million, or 86%, of total debt outstanding as of May 31, 2017. The increase in total debt outstanding, including long-term and subordinated debt, was primarily due to the issuance of debt to fund loan portfolio growth. Repayments

Investment PortfolioPledged Collateral


In additionUnder our secured borrowing agreements, we are required to pledge loans, investment debt securities or other collateral and maintain certain pledged collateral ratios. Of our primary sourcestotal debt outstanding of liquidity discussed above, we have an investment portfolio, composed of time deposits, available-for-sale investment securities and held-to-maturity investment securities, which totaled $391 million and $319$32,541 million as of November 30, 2017February 29, 2024, $17,462 million, or 54%, was secured by pledged loans totaling $21,644 million. In comparison, of our total debt outstanding of $30,999 million as of May 31, 2023, $17,450 million, or 56%, was secured by pledged loans totaling $21,038 million. Following is additional information on the collateral pledging requirements for our secured borrowing agreements.

Secured Borrowing Agreements—Pledged Loan Requirements

We are required to pledge loans or other collateral in transactions under our collateral trust bond indentures, bond agreements under the Guaranteed Underwriter Program and note purchase agreement with Farmer Mac. Total debt outstanding is presented on our consolidated balance sheets net of unamortized discounts and issuance costs. Our collateral pledging requirements are based, however, on the face amount of secured outstanding debt, which excludes net unamortized discounts and issuance costs. However, as discussed below, we typically maintain pledged collateral in excess of the required percentage. Under the provisions of our committed bank revolving line of credit agreements, the excess collateral that we are allowed to pledge cannot exceed 150% of the outstanding borrowings under our collateral trust bond indentures, the Guaranteed Underwriter Program or the Farmer Mac note purchase agreements.

Table 21 displays the collateral coverage ratios pursuant to these secured borrowing agreements as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2017,2023.

(3) Excludes cash collateral pledged to secure debt. If there is an event of default under most of our indentures, we can only withdraw the excess collateral if we substitute cash or permitted investments of equal value.

As displayed above in Table 22, we had excess loans pledged as collateral totaling $3,980 million and $3,374 million as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023, respectively. To ensure that we do not fall below the minimum collateral coverage ratio requirement, we typically pledge loans in excess of the required amount for the following reasons: (i) our investment portfolio to remain adequately liquid to serve as a contingent supplemental sourcedistribution and power supply loans are typically amortizing loans that require scheduled principal payments over the life of liquidity for unanticipated liquidity needs.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2018, we commencedloan, whereas the purchase of additional investment securities, consisting primarily of certificates of deposit, commercial paper, corporate debt securities commercial mortgage-backed securities,issued under secured indentures and other asset-backed securities. Pursuant to our investment policy guidelines, all fixed-income securities, at the time of purchase, must be rated at least investment grade based on external credit ratings, when available, or the corresponding equivalent, when not available. Securities rated investment grade, that is those rated Baa3 or higher by Moody’s or BBB- or higher by S&P, are generally considered by the rating agencies to be of lower credit risk than non-investment grade securities. Weagreements typically have bullet maturities; (ii) distribution and power supply borrowers have the positive intentoption to prepay their loans; and ability to hold these securities to maturity. As such, we have classified them as held to maturity on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.(iii) individual loans may become ineligible for various reasons, some of which may be temporary.

Our investment portfolio is unencumbered and structured so that securities have active secondary or resale markets under normal market conditions. The objective of the portfolio is to achieve returns commensurate with the level of risk assumed subject to CFC’s investment policy guidelines and liquidity requirements.


We provide additional information on available-for-saleour borrowings, including the maturity profile, below in the “Liquidity Risk” section and held-to-maturity investment securities heldadditional information on pledged loans in “Note 4—Loans” of this Report. For additional detail on each of our debt product types, refer to “Note 5—Short-Term Borrowings,” “Note 7—Long-Term Debt,” “Note 8—Subordinated Deferrable Debt” and “Note 9—Members’ Subordinated Certificates” in our 2023 Form 10-K.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

In the ordinary course of business, we engage in financial transactions that are not presented on our investment portfolioconsolidated balance sheets, or may be recorded on our consolidated balance sheets in amounts that are different from the full contract or notional amount of the transaction. Our off-balance sheet arrangements consist primarily of unadvanced loan commitments intended to meet the financial needs of our members and guarantees of member obligations, which may affect our liquidity and funding requirements based on the likelihood that borrowers will advance funds under the loan commitments or we will be required to perform under the guarantee obligations. We provide information on our unadvanced loan commitments in “Note 3—Investment Securities.4—Loans” and information on our guarantee obligations in “Note 11—Guarantees.


Projected Near-Term Sources and Uses of LiquidityFunds


As discussed above, our primary sources of liquidity include cash flows from operations, our short-term funding portfolio, our liquidity reserve and the issuance of long-term and subordinated debt, as well as loan principal and interest payments. Our primary uses of liquidity include loan advances to members, principal and interest payments on borrowings, periodic settlement payments related to derivative contracts, costs related to the disposition of foreclosed assets and operating expenses.

Table 3023 below displays a projection of our projectedprimary long-term sources and usesuses of cash,funds, by quarter, over each of the next six quarters throughfiscal quarters. Our projection is based on the quarter ending May 31, 2019. Our projected liquidity position, reflects our current plan to expand our investment portfolio. Our assumptions also include the following:following, which includes several assumptions: (i) the estimated issuance of long-term debt, including collateral trust bondscapital market and private placement ofother non-capital market term debt, is based on maintaining a matched funding position within our market-risk management goal of minimizing the mismatch between the cash flows from our financial assets and our financial liabilities; (ii) long-term loan portfolio withscheduled amortization repayment amounts represent scheduled loan principal payments for long-term loans outstanding as of February 29, 2024 and estimated loan principal payments for long-term loan advances, plus estimated prepayment amounts on long-term loans; (iii) long-term and subordinated debt maturities consist of both scheduled principal maturity and amortization amounts and projected principal maturity and amortization amounts on term debt outstanding in each period presented; and (iv) long-term loan advances are based on our current projection of member demand for loans. In addition, amounts available under our committed bank revolving lines of credit, servingnet increases in dealer commercial paper and short-term member investments are intended to serve as a backup liquidity facility for commercial paper and on maintaining outstanding dealer commercial paper at an amount below $1,250 million; (ii) long-term loan scheduled amortization payments represent the scheduled long-term loan payments for loans outstanding assource of November 30, 2017, and our current estimateliquidity.

The estimates presented above are developed at a particular point in time based on our expected future business growth and funding. Our actual results and future estimates may vary, perhaps significantly, from the current projections, as a result of changes in market conditions, management actions or other factors.


Credit Ratings


Our funding and liquidity, borrowing capacity, ability to access capital markets and other sources of funds and the cost of these funds are partially dependent on our credit ratings.Rating agencies base their ratings on numerous factors, including liquidity, capital adequacy, industry position, member support, management, asset quality, quality of earnings and the probability of systemic support. Significant changes in these factors could result in different ratings.

Table 3124 displays our credit ratings as of November 30, 2017,February 29, 2024, which wereremain unchanged as of the date of the filing of this Report.

During the three months ended November 30, 2017, Moody’s and S&P affirmed our ratings and outlook. In order to access the commercial paper markets at attractive rates, we believe we need to maintain our current commercial paper credit ratings of P-1 by Moody’s, A-1 by S&P and F1 by Fitch. In addition, the notes payable to the Federal Financing Bank and guaranteed by RUS under the Guaranteed Underwriter Program contain a provision that if during any portion of the fiscal

Financial Ratios

Debt Covenants


As part of our short-term and long-term borrowing arrangements, we are subject to various financial and operational covenants. If we fail to maintain specified financial ratios, such failure could constitute a default by CFC of certain debt covenants under our committed bank revolving line of credit agreements and senior debt indentures. We were in compliance with all covenants and conditions under our committed bank revolving line of credit agreements and senior debt indentures as of November 30, 2017.February 29, 2024.


As discussed above in “Summary of Selected“Non-GAAP Financial Data,Measures,” the financial covenants set forth in our committed bank revolving line of credit agreements and senior debt indentures are based on adjustedadjusted financial measures, including adjusted TIER. We provide a reconciliation of adjusted TIER and other non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this Report to the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures below in “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations.” See “Item 7. MD&A—Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in our 2023 Form 10-K for a discussion of each of our non-GAAP measures and an explanation of the adjustments below in “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”to derive these measures.

MARKET RISK


Interest rate risk represents our primary source of market risk. Interestrisk, as interest rate-volatility can have a significant impact on the earnings and overall financial condition of a financial institution. We are exposed to interest rate risk primarily from the differences in the timing between the maturity or repricing of our loans and the liabilities funding our loans. We seek to generate stable adjusted net interest income on a sustained and long-term basis by minimizing the mismatch between the cash flows from our financial assets and our financial liabilities. We use derivatives as a tool in matching the duration and repricing characteristics of our interest-rate sensitive assets and liabilities. We provide additional information on our management of interest rate risk in our 2023 Form 10-K under “Item 7. MD&A—Market Risk—Interest Rate Risk Management.” Below we discuss how we manage and measure interest rate risk.

Interest Rate Risk Assessment

Our Asset Liability Management (“ALM”) framework includes the use of analytic tools and capabilities, enabling CFC to generate a comprehensive profile of our interest rate risk exposure. We routinely measure and assess our interest rate risk exposure using various methodologies through the use of ALM models that enable us to accurately measure and monitor our interest rate risk exposure under multiple interest rate scenarios using several different techniques. Below we present two measures used to assess our interest rate risk exposure: (i) the interest rate sensitivity of projected net interest income and adjusted net interest income; and (ii) duration gap.

Interest Rate Sensitivity Analysis

We regularly evaluate the sensitivity of our interest-earning assets and the interest-bearing liabilities funding those assets and our net interest income and adjusted net interest income projections under multiple interest rate scenarios. Each month we update our ALM models to reflect our existing balance sheet position and incorporate different assumptions about
39


forecasted changes in our balance sheet position over the next 12 months. Based on the forecasted balance sheet changes, we generate various projections of net interest income and adjusted net interest income over the next 12 months. Management reviews and assesses these projections and underlying assumptions to identify a baseline scenario of projected net interest income and adjusted net interest income over the next 12 months, which reflects what management considers, at the time, as the most likely scenario. As discussed under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” we derive adjusted net interest income by adjusting our reported interest expense and net interest income to include the impact of net derivative cash settlements amounts.

Our interest rate sensitivity analyses take into consideration existing interest rate-sensitive assets and liabilities as of the reported balance sheet date and forecasted changes to the balance sheet over the next 12 months under management’s baseline projection. As discussed in the “Executive Summary—Outlook” section, we currently anticipate net long-term loan growth of $1,847 million over the next 12 months. We also expect that our variable-rate line of credit loans outstanding will remain at approximately the current level over the same period. Although the yield curve is expected to remain inverted throughout calendar year 2024, given the expected drop in short-term interest rates, the yield curve inversion is expected to narrow in 2024.

Based on our current forecast assumptions, including the yield curve forecast noted above, we project a slight increase in our reported net interest income, however, we expect a decrease in our reported net interest yield over the next 12 months compared to the 12-month period ended February 29, 2024. We also project a decrease in our adjusted net interest income and adjusted net interest yield over the next 12 months relative to the 12-month period ended February 29, 2024, primarily due to the current yield curve assumptions and our balance sheet position.

Table 25 presents the estimated percentage impact that a hypothetical instantaneous parallel shift of plus or minus 100 basis points in the interest rate yield curve, relative to our base case forecast yield curve, would have on our projected baseline 12-month net interest income and adjusted net interest income as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023. In instances where the hypothetical instantaneous interest rate shift of minus 100 basis points results in a negative interest rate, we assume an interest rate floor rate of 0% in a negative interest rate. We also present the estimated percentage impact on our projected baseline 12-month net interest income and adjusted net interest income assuming a hypothetical inverted yield curve under which shorter-term interest rates increase by an instantaneous 75 basis points and longer-term interest rates decrease by an instantaneous 75 basis points.

____________________________
(1)The actual impact on our reported and adjusted net interest income may differ significantly from the sensitivity analysis presented.
(2)We include net periodic derivative cash settlement interest expense amounts as a component of interest expense in deriving adjusted net interest income. See the section “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations” for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this Report to the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures.

The changes in the sensitivity measures between February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023 are primarily attributable to changes in the size and composition of our forecasted balance sheet, as well as changes in current interest rates and forecasted interest rates. As the interest rate sensitivity simulations displayed in Table 25 indicate, we would expect an unfavorable impact on our projected net interest income over a 12-month horizon as of February 29, 2024, under the hypothetical scenario of an instantaneous parallel shift of plus 100 basis points in the interest rate yield curve and a further inverted yield curve. However, we would expect an unfavorable impact on our adjusted net interest income over a 12-month horizon as of February 29, 2024, under the hypothetical scenario of an instantaneous parallel shift of minus 100 basis points in the interest rate yield curve and a slight decline under a further inverted yield curve.

Duration Gap

The duration gap, which represents the difference between the estimated duration of our interest-earning assets and the estimated duration of our interest-bearing liabilities, summarizes the extent to which the cash flows for assets and liabilities are matched over time. We use derivatives in managing the differences in timing between the maturities or repricing of our interest earning assets and the debt funding those assets. A positive duration gap indicates that the duration of our interest-earning assets is greater than the duration of our debt and derivatives, and therefore denotes an increased exposure to rising interest rates over the long term. Conversely, a negative duration gap indicates that the duration of our interest-earning assets is less than the duration of our debt and derivatives, and therefore denotes an increased exposure to declining interest rates over the long term. While the duration gap provides a relatively concise and simple measure of the interest rate risk inherent in our consolidated balance sheet as of the reported date, it does not incorporate projected changes in our consolidated balance sheet.

The duration gap widened slightly to negative 1.54 months as of February 29, 2024, from negative 1.34 months as of May 31, 2023 and was within the risk arising fromlimits and guidelines established by CFC’s Asset Liability Committee as of each respective date. The slight widening of the duration gap is primarily due to an increase in line of credit loans outstanding of $407 million, which reduced the duration of interest-earning assets.

Limitations of Interest Rate Risk Measures

While we believe that the interest income sensitivities and duration gap measures provided are useful tools in assessing our interest rate risk exposure, there are inherent limitations in any methodology used to estimate the exposure to changes in market interest rates. These measures should be understood as estimates rather than as precise measurements. The interest rate sensitivity analyses only contemplate certain hypothetical movements in interest rates and are performed at a particular point in time based on the existing balance sheet and, in some cases, expected future business growth and funding mix assumptions. The strategic actions that management may result in differences betweentake to manage our balance sheet may differ significantly from our projections, which could cause our actual interest income to differ substantially from the timing of contractual maturities, re-pricing characteristicsabove sensitivity analysis. Moreover, as discussed above, we use various other methodologies to measure and prepayments on our assets and their related liabilities.

Interest Rate Risk Management

Our interest rate risk exposure is primarily related to the funding of the fixed-rate loan portfolio. Our Asset Liability Committee provides oversight over maintaining our interest rate position within a prescribed policy range using approved strategies. The Asset Liability Committee reviews a complete interest rate risk analysis, reviews proposed modifications, if any, tomonitor our interest rate risk management strategy and considers adopting strategy changes. Our Asset Liability Committee monitorsunder multiple interest rate risk and meets quarterly to review and discuss information such as national economic forecasts, federal funds and interest rate forecasts, interest rate gap analysis, our liquidity position, loan and debt maturities, short-term and long-term funding needs, anticipated loan demands, credit concentration risk, derivative counterparty exposure and financial forecasts. The Asset Liability Committee also discusses the compositionscenarios, which, together, provide a comprehensive profile of fixed-rate versus variable-rate lending, new funding opportunities, changes to the nature and mix of assets and liabilities for structural mismatches, and interest rate swap transactions.

Matched Funding Objective

Our funding objective is to manage the matched funding of asset and liability repricing terms within a range of adjusted total assets (calculated by excluding derivative assets from total assets) deemed appropriate by the Asset Liability Committee based on the current environment and extended outlook for interest rates. We refer to the difference between fixed-rate loans


scheduled for amortization or repricing and the fixed-rate liabilities and equity funding those loans as our interest rate gap. Our primary strategies for managingrisk.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make a number of judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses in our interest rate risk includeconsolidated financial statements. Understanding our accounting policies and the extent to which we use management’s judgment and estimates in applying these policies is integral to understanding our financial statements. We provide a discussion of our significant accounting policies in “Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in our 2023 Form 10-K.

Certain accounting estimates are considered critical because they involve significant judgments and assumptions about highly complex and inherently uncertain matters, and the use of derivativesreasonably different estimates and limiting the amount of fixed-rate assets that can be funded by variable-rate debt toassumptions could have a specified percentage of adjusted total assets based on market conditions.

We provide our members with many options on loans with regard to interest rates, the term for which the selected interest rate is in effect and the ability to convert or prepay the loan. Long-term loans generally have maturities of up to 35 years. Borrowers may select fixed interest rates for periods of one year through the life of the loan. We do not match fund the majority of our fixed-rate loans with a specific debt issuance at the time the loans are advanced. We fund the amount of fixed-rate assets that exceed fixed-rate debt and members’ equity with short-term debt, primarily commercial paper.

Interest Rate Gap Analysis

To monitor and mitigate interest rate risk in the funding of fixed-rate loans, we perform a monthly interest rate gap analysis that provides a comparison between fixed-rate assets repricing or maturing by year and fixed-rate liabilities and members’ equity maturing by year.

We maintain an unmatched positionmaterial impact on our fixed-rate assets within a targeted rangeresults of adjusted total assets.operations or financial condition. The limited unmatched position is intended to provide flexibility to ensure that we are able to match the current maturing portion of long-term fixed rate loans based on maturity date and the opportunity in the current low interest rate environment to increase the gross yield on our fixed rate assets without taking what we would consider to be excessive risk.

Table 32 displays the scheduled amortization and repricing of fixed-rate assets and liabilities outstanding as of November 30, 2017. We exclude variable-rate loans from our interest rate gap analysis as we do not consider the interest rate risk on these loans to be significant because they are subject to repricing at least monthly. Loans with variable interest rates accounted for 10% and 9% of our total loan portfolio as of November 30, 2017 and May 31, 2017, respectively. Fixed-rate liabilities include debt issued at a fixed rate as well as variable-rate debt swapped to a fixed rate using interest rate swaps. Fixed-rate debt swapped to a variable rate using interest rate swaps is excluded from the analysis since it is used to match fund the variable-rate loan pool. With the exception of members’ subordinated certificates, which are generally issued with extended maturities, and commercial paper, our liabilities have average maturities that closely match the repricing terms (but not the maturities) of our fixed-rate loans.

Item 1.Financial Statements

Total CFC Equity and MembersEquity

Members’ equity excludes the noncash impact of derivative forward value gains (losses) and foreign currency adjustments recorded in net income and amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. Because these amounts generally have not been realized, they are not available to members and are excluded by the CFC Board of Directors in determining the annual allocation of adjusted net income to patronage capital, to the members’ capital reserve and to other member funds. Table 30 provides a reconciliation of members’ equity to total CFC equity as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023. We present the components of accumulated other comprehensive income in “Note 10—Equity.”

We report the separate results of operations for CFC in “Note 14—Business Segments.” The period-end cumulative derivative forward value total gain amounts as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023 are presented above in Table 28.

NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


The Company


National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation (“CFC”) is a tax-exempt, member-owned cooperative association incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia in April 1969. CFC’s principal purpose is to provide its members with financing to supplement the loan programs of the Rural Utilities Service (“RUS”) of the United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”). CFC makes loans to its rural electric members so they can acquire, construct and operate electric distribution systems, electric generation and transmission (“power supply”) systems and related facilities. CFC also provides its members and associates with credit enhancements in the form of letters of credit and guarantees of debt obligations. As a cooperative, CFC is owned by and exclusively serves its membership, which consists of not-for-profit entities or subsidiaries or affiliates of not-for-profit entities. CFC is exempt from federal income taxes.


Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates


The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordanceconformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, and related notes thereto, included in CFC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2017 (“2017 Form 10-K”). We believe that all necessary adjustments, which consisted only of normal recurring items, have been included in the accompanying financial statements to present fairly the results of the interim periods. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures. While management makes its best judgment, actual amounts or results could differ from these estimates. Our most significant estimates and assumptions involve determining the allowance for loan losses and the fair value of financial assets and liabilities. The results of operations in the interim financial statements is not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods or for the full fiscal year ending May 31, 2018.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensedThese consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CFC and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) where CFC is the primary beneficiary and subsidiary entities created and controlled by CFC to hold foreclosed assets. CFC did not have any entities that held foreclosed assets as of November 30, 2017 or May 31, 2017. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.beneficiary. National Cooperative Services Corporation (“NCSC”) and Rural Telephone Finance Cooperative (“RTFC”) are VIEs which areis a VIE that is required to be consolidated by CFC. NCSC is a taxable member-owned cooperative that may provide financing to members of CFC, government or quasi-government entities which own electric utility systems that meet the Rural Electrification Act definition of “rural”,“rural,” its rural telecommunications members and their affiliates, and for-profit and nonprofit entities that are owned, operated or controlled by, or provide significant benefits to certain members of CFC. Previously, Rural Telephone Finance Cooperative (“RTFC”) qualified as a VIE that was required to be consolidated by CFC. RTFC iswas a taxable Subchapter T cooperative association that providesprovided financing for its rural telecommunications members and their affiliates. Subsequent to December 1, 2023, in connection with the sale of RTFC’s business to NCSC, CFC is no longer a primary beneficiary of RTFC and therefore does not consolidate RTFC in its consolidated financial statements. See additional discussion under “RTFC Sale Transaction” below.

All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Unless stated otherwise, references to “we,” “our” or “us” relate to CFC and its consolidated entities.entity.


Restricted Cash

Restricted cash, which totaled $11 millionThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and $22 millionassumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures during the period. Management’s most significant estimates and assumptions involve determining the allowance for credit losses. These estimates are based on information available as of November 30, 2017the date of the consolidated financial statements. While management makes its best judgments, actual amounts or results could differ from these estimates. In the opinion of management, these unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature that are necessary for the fair statement of results for the periods presented. The results in the interim financial statements included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended February 29, 2024 (“this Report”) are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the full fiscal year, and the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements included in CFC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2017, respectively, consisted primarily2023 (“2023 Form 10-K”).

Our fiscal year begins on June 1 and ends on May 31. Reference to “Q3 FY2024” and “YTD FY2024” refer to three and nine months ended February 29, 2024, respectively. Reference to “Q3 FY2023” and “YTD FY2023” refer to three and nine months ended February 28, 2023, respectively.

RTFC Sale Transaction
Interest Income

On December 1, 2023, RTFC sold and transferred all of its loans and certain other assets and liabilities to NCSC, which was accounted for pursuant to ASC 805-50 “Transactions between Entities under Common Control” as a sale of RTFC’s business to NCSC (hereon referred to as the “RTFC sale transaction”). The transfer was recorded at RTFC’s historical carrying amounts and therefore did not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements. In connection with the RTFC sale transaction, the CFC Board of Directors approved the early retirement of $66 million of allocated but unretired CFC patronage capital to RTFC at a discounted amount of $41 million, which was paid from CFC to RTFC in December 2023 and the remaining $25 million was allocated to CFCmemberscapital reserve as of February 29, 2024. Following the closing of the RTFC sale transaction on December 1, 2023, CFC concluded that it is no longer the primary beneficiary of RTFC and accordingly, deconsolidated RTFC from its consolidated financial statements, resulting in a $10 million reduction in noncontrolling interest primarily attributable to cash held by RTFC. We did not record a gain or loss in association with CFC’s deconsolidation of RTFC.

New Accounting Standards Adopted in Fiscal Year 2024

Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Troubled Debt Restructurings (“TDRs”) and Vintage Disclosures

In March 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-02, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, which addresses and amends areas identified by the FASB as part of its post-implementation review of the accounting standard that introduced the current expected credit losses (“CECL”) model. The amendments eliminate the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings (“TDR”) by creditors that have adopted the CECL model and enhance the disclosure requirements for loan refinancings and restructurings made with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. In addition, the amendments require disclosure of current-period gross write-offs for financing receivables and net investment in leases by year of origination in the vintage disclosures. ASU 2022-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years for entities, such as CFC, that have adopted the CECL accounting standard. We adopted the guidance on June 1, 2023 using the prospective adoption method. Accordingly, we will continue to account for existing TDR loans pursuant to the prior TDR accounting guidance until the loans are subsequently modified or settled, and to provide the disclosure required for TDR loans for the comparative periods prior to the adoption. While the guidance resulted in expanded disclosures, it did not have an impact on our consolidated results of operation, financial condition or liquidity from adoption of this accounting standard.

New Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted

Segment Reporting-Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which introduce key amendments to enhance disclosures for public entities’ reportable segments. The amendments require disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items to reconcile to segment profit or loss, and the title and position of the entity’s CODM. The amendments also expand the interim segment disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted and requires retrospective application to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. We expect to adopt the guidance in fiscal year 2025, and the interim disclosure requirements in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026. We are currently in the process of reviewing the guidance and evaluating its impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Disclosure Improvements-Codification Amendment in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative

In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements - Codification Amendment in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative. The amendments in this update modify the disclosure or presentation requirements of a variety of Topics in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) in response to the SEC’s Release No. 33-10532, Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative, and align the ASC’s requirements with the SEC’s regulations. For entities subject to the SEC’s existing disclosure requirements, the effective date for each amendment will be the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective. However, if by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the related disclosure from its regulations, the amendments will be removed from the Codification and not become effective. Early adoption is prohibited. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of the amendment on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Recently Issued But Not Yet Adopted Accounting Standards and Tax Reform

Tax Cuts and Jobs Act

On December 22, 2017, the President of the United States signed and enacted into law H.R. 1, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“The Act”), which, except for certain provisions, is effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The Act significantly changes existing U.S. tax law and includes numerous provisions that will affect businesses. One of the primary changes is a reduction in the federal statutory corporate U.S.Deferred income tax rate to 21% percent from 35% and other changes that impact business-related exclusions, deductions and credits. CFC is exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code. NCSC is subject to federal income tax; however, NCSC’s annual taxable income and federal income tax is not material to our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity. RTFC is subject to federal income tax; however, the allocation of patronage capital to its members is a deduction that historically has resulted in a significant reduction in its annual taxable income and federal income tax. Therefore, we do not expect The Act to have a material impactreported on our consolidated resultsbalance sheets of operations, financial condition or liquidity.$34 million and $39 million as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023, respectively, consists primarily of deferred loan conversion fees that totaled $26 million and $30 million as of each respective date.

Derivatives and Hedging—Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities

In August 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging—Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which is intended to simplify and amend the application of hedge accounting to more clearly portray the economics of an entity’s risk management strategies in its financial statements. The new guidance will make more financial and nonfinancial hedging strategies eligible for hedge accounting, reduce complexity in fair value hedges of interest rate risk and eases certain documentation and assessment requirements of hedge effectiveness. It also changes how companies assess effectiveness and amends the presentation and disclosure requirements. The guidance is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period or fiscal year before the effective date. The guidance is effective for us beginning June 1, 2019. We currently do not apply hedge accounting. If we continue to not apply hedge accounting to our derivatives, the adoption of the new guidance will have no impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Cost

In March 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-08, Receivables—Nonrefundable Fees and Other Costs,which shortens the amortization period for the premium on certain purchased callable debt securities, that have a set call date and price, to the earliest call date. The guidance is effective for public entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This update is effective for us beginning June 1, 2019. The adoption of this guidance will change the amortization period to the earliest call date for our purchased callable debt securities held at a premium; however, we do not expect that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Statement of Cash Flows—Restricted Cash

In November 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows—Restricted Cash, which requires that a statement of cash flows explains the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. Therefore, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for public entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This update is effective for us beginning June

NATIONAL RURAL UTILITIES COOPERATIVE FINANCE CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance will change the presentation of restricted cash presented on our statement of cash flows; however, it will have no impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

Financial Instruments—Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes the accounting for credit losses on certain financial assets to an expected loss model from the incurred loss model currently in use. The new guidance will likely result in earlier recognition of credit losses based on measuring the expected credit losses over the estimated life of financial assets held at each reporting date. The expected loss model will be the basis for determining the allowance for credit losses for loans and leases, unfunded lending commitments, held-to-maturity debt securities and other debt instruments measured at amortized cost. In addition, the new guidance modifies the other-than-temporary impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities to require the recognition of credit losses through a valuation allowance, which allows for the reversal of credit impairments in future periods. The ASU will also require enhanced disclosures to help users of financial statements better understand significant estimates and judgments used in estimating credit losses, as well as the credit quality and underwriting standards of an entity’s portfolio. The new standard is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early application will be permitted for all entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. This update is effective for us beginning June 1, 2020. Upon adoption, we will be required to record a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. The impact on our consolidated financial statements from the adoption of this new guidance will depend on the composition and risk profile of our loan portfolio as of the date of adoption. We do not expect to early adopt this guidance.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall: Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which amends certain aspects of the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of certain financial instruments, including equity investments and liabilities measured at fair value under the fair value option. The guidance also updates fair value presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments measured at amortized cost. The ASU requires investments in equity securities that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income, unless one of two available exceptions apply. For financial liabilities where the fair value option has been elected, the portion of the total change in fair value caused by changes in the company’s own credit risk is required to be presented separately in OCI. The classification and measurement guidance is effective for public entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. This update will be effective for us beginning June 1, 2018. Upon adoption, we will be required to reclassify the gain (loss) related to our equity investment securities classified as available-for-sale from accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) to retained earnings as a cumulative-effect adjustment and begin recording future changes in fair value through earnings. We had a gain of $11 million recorded in AOCI for our available-for-sale equity investments as of November 30, 2017. The impact on our consolidated financial statements at adoption will depend on the net unrealized gains (losses) recorded in AOCI for these equity investments as of the date of adoption.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which modifies the guidance used to recognize revenue from contracts with customers for transfers of goods or services and transfers of nonfinancial assets, unless those contracts are within the scope of other guidance. The new guidance is effective for us beginning June 1, 2018. Because the scope of the guidance explicitly excludes net interest income as well as many other revenues for financial assets and liabilities including loans, securities, and derivatives, which account for the substantial majority of our revenues, we do not expect that the adoption of the guidance will have a material impact, if any, on our consolidated financial statements.

NCSC and RTFC meet the definition of a VIE because they do not have sufficient equity investment at risk to finance their activities without financial support. CFC is the primary source of funding for NCSC and the sole source of funding for RTFC. Under the terms of management agreements, CFC manages the business operations of NCSC and RTFC. CFC also unconditionally guarantees full indemnification for any loan losses of NCSC and RTFC pursuant to guarantee agreements with each company. CFC earns management and guarantee fees from its agreements with NCSC and RTFC.

NCSC and RTFC creditors have no recourse against CFC in the event of a default by NCSC and RTFC, unless there is a guarantee agreement under which CFC has guaranteed NCSC or RTFC debt obligations to a third party.

NOTE 3—INVESTMENT SECURITIES


We record purchases and sales of securities on a trade-date basis. The accounting and measurement framework forOur investment securities differs depending on the security classification. We currently classify and account for our investment securities as either available for sale (“AFS”) or held to maturity (“HTM”) based on our investment strategy and management’s assessmentportfolio consists of our intent and ability to hold the securities until maturity. Securities that we may sell prior to maturity in response to changes in our investment strategy, liquidity needs, credit risk mitigating considerations, market risk profile or for other reasons are classified as AFS. Securities that we have the positive intent and ability to hold until maturity are classified as HTM.

We reportdebt securities classified as AFS on our condensed consolidated balance sheets attrading and equity securities with readily determinable fair values. We therefore record changes in the fair value of our debt and equity securities in earnings and report these unrealized changes together with unrealizedrealized gains orand losses recordedfrom the sale of securities as a component of accumulated other comprehensivenon-interest income (“AOCI”). We report securities classified as HTM onin our condensed consolidated balance sheets at amortized cost. Interest income on fixed-income securities, including amortizationstatements of premiums and accretion of discounts, is generally recognized over the contractual life of the securities based on the effective yield method.operations.


We did not have any securities classified as HTM as of May 31, 2017. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2018, we commenced the purchase of additional investment securities, consisting primarily of certificates of deposit, commercial paper, corporate debt securities, commercial mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) and other asset-backed securities (“ABS”). We have the positive intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity. As such, we have classified them as held to maturity on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Pursuant to our investment policy guidelines, all fixed-income securities, at the time of purchase, must be rated at least investment grade based on external credit ratings, when available, or the corresponding equivalent, when not available. Securities rated investment grade, that is those rated Baa3 or higher by Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) or BBB- or higher by S&P Global Ratings (“S&P”), are generally considered by the rating agencies to be of lower credit risk than non-investment grade securities.

____________________________Our loan portfolio is segregated into segments by borrower member class, which is based on the utility sector of the borrowers because the key operational, infrastructure, regulatory, environmental, customer and financial risks of each sector are similar in nature. Total loan portfolio member class consists of CFC distribution, CFC power supply, CFC statewide and associate, NCSC electric and NCSC telecommunications (“telecom”). Prior to the RTFC sale transaction on December 1, 2023, NCSC electric and NCSC telecom were referred to as NCSC and RTFC, respectively. We offer both long-term and line of credit loans to our borrowers. Under our long-term loan facilities, a borrower may select a fixed interest rate or a variable interest rate at the time of each loan advance. Line of credit loans are revolving loan facilities and generally have a variable interest rate.

Loans to Members

Loans to members consist of securities backed by auto lease loans equipment-backedheld for investment and loans autoheld for sale. The outstanding amount of loans held for investment is recorded based on the unpaid principal balance, net of discounts, charge-offs and recoveries, of loans and credit card loans.

Other-Than-Temporary Impairment

We conduct periodic reviewsdeferred loan origination costs. The outstanding amount of all securities with unrealized losses to evaluate whetherloans held for sale is recorded based on the impairment is other than temporary. The numberlower of individual securities in an unrealized loss position was 170 as of November 30, 2017. We have assessed each security with gross unrealized losses included in the above table for credit impairment. As part of that assessment, we concluded that the unrealized losses are primarily driven by changes in market interest rates rather than by adverse changes in the credit quality of these securities. Based on our assessment, we expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities, as we do not intend to sell any of the securities and believe that it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell prior to recovery of the amortized cost basis. Accordingly, we currently consider the impairment of these securities to be temporary.

line of credit commitments generally serve as supplemental back-up liquidity to our borrowers. Historically, borrowers have not drawn the full commitment amount for line of credit facilities, and we have experienced a very low utilization rate on line of credit loan facilities regardless of whether or not we are obligated to fund the facility where a material adverse change exists. Our unadvanced long-term loan commitments have a five-year draw period under which a borrower may advance funds prior to the expiration of the commitment. We expect that the majority of the long-term unadvanced loan commitments of $4,951 million will be advanced prior to the expiration of the commitment.

Because we historically have experienced a very low utilization rate on line of credit loan facilities, which account for the majority of our total unadvanced loan commitments, we believe the unadvanced loan commitment total of $12,526 million as of November 30, 2017 is not necessarily representative of our future funding cash requirements.

Unadvanced Loan Commitments—Conditional

The substantial majority of our line of credit commitments and all of our unadvanced long-term loan commitments include material adverse change clauses. Unadvanced loan commitments subject to material adverse change clauses totaled $9,741 million and $9,973 million as of November 30, 2017 and May 31, 2017, respectively. Prior to making an advance on these facilities, we confirm that there has been no material adverse change in the business or condition, financial or otherwise, of the borrower since the time the loan was approved and confirm that the borrower is currently in compliance with loan terms and conditions. In some cases, the borrower’s access to the full amount of the facility is further constrained by the designated purpose, imposition of borrower-specific restrictions or by additional conditions that must be met prior to advancing funds.

Unadvanced Loan Commitments—Unconditional

Unadvanced loan commitments not subject to material adverse change clauses at the time of each advance consisted of unadvanced committed lines of credit totaling $2,785 million and $2,602 million as of November 30, 2017 and May 31, 2017, respectively. As such, we are required to advance amounts on these committed facilities as long as the borrower is in compliance with the terms and conditions of the facility.

Credit Concentration

Concentrations of credit may exist when a lender has large credit exposures to single borrowers, large credit exposures to borrowers in the same industry sector or engaged in similar activities or large credit exposures to borrowers in a geographic region that would cause the borrowers to be similarly impacted by economic or other conditions in the region. As a tax-exempt, member-owned finance cooperative, CFC’s principal focus is to provide funding to its rural electric utility cooperative members to assist them in acquiring, constructing and operating electric distribution systems, power supply systems and related facilities.

Because we lend primarily to our rural electric utility cooperative members, we have had a loan portfolio subject to single-industry and single-obligor concentration risks since our inception in 1969. Loans outstanding to electric utility organizations of $33,850 million and $32,032 million as of November 30, 2017February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2017. See “Note 5—Short-Term Borrowings”2023, respectively, accounted for 98% and “Note 6—Long-Term Debt” for information on our borrowings.

Credit Quality

We closely monitor loan performance trends to manage and evaluate our credit risk exposure. We seek to provide a balance between meeting the credit needs of our members, while also ensuring the sound credit quality of our loan portfolio. Payment status and internal risk ratings are key indicators, among others, of the level of credit risk in our loan portfolio.

As part of our strategy in managing our credit risk exposure, we entered into a long-term standby purchase commitment agreement with Farmer Mac.Mac during fiscal year 2016. Under this agreement, we may designate certain long-term loans to be covered under the commitment, subject to approval by Farmer Mac, and in the event any such loan later goes into payment default for at least 90 days, upon request by us, Farmer Mac must purchase such loan at par value. The aggregate unpaid principal balance of designated and Farmer Mac approved loans was $792 million and $843 million as of November 30, 2017 and May 31, 2017, respectively. Under the agreement, weWe are required to pay Farmer Mac a monthly fee based on the unpaid principal balance of loans covered under the purchase commitment. NoThe aggregate unpaid principal balance of designated and Farmer Mac approved loans was $398 million and $436 million as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023, respectively. Loan exposure to our 20 largest borrowers covered under the Farmer Mac agreement totaled $235 million and $267 million as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023, respectively, which reduced our exposure to the 20 largest borrowers to 19% as of each respective date. We have had no loan defaults for loans covered under this agreement; therefore, no loans have been put to Farmer Mac for purchase pursuant to thisthe standby purchase agreement as of November 30, 2017. Also, we hadFebruary 29, 2024. Our credit exposure is also mitigated by long-term loans totaling $164 millionguaranteed by RUS.

Geographic Concentration

Credit Quality Indicators

Assessing the overall credit quality of our loan portfolio and measuring our credit risk is an ongoing process that were guaranteed byinvolves tracking payment status, modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, nonperforming loans, charge-offs, the Rural Utilities Service (“RUS”)internal risk ratings of our borrowers and other indicators of credit risk. We monitor and subject each borrower and loan facility in our loan portfolio to an individual risk assessment based on quantitative and qualitative factors. Payment status trends and internal risk ratings are indicators, among others, of the United States Departmentprobability of Agriculture.borrower default and overall credit quality of our loan portfolio.


Payment Status of Loans


Loans are considered delinquent when contractual principal or interest amounts become past due 30 days or more following the scheduled payment due date. Loans are placed on nonaccrual status when payment of principal or interest is 90 days or more past due or management determines that the full collection of principal and interest is doubtful.

Loan Modifications to Borrowers Experiencing Financial Difficulty

We actively monitor problem loans and, from time to time, attempt to work with borrowers to manage such exposures through loan workouts or modifications that better align with the borrower’s current ability to pay. Therefore, as part of our loss mitigation efforts, we may provide modifications to a borrower experiencing financial difficulty to improve long-term collectability of the loan and to avoid the need for exercising remedies. We consider the impact of all loan modifications when estimating the credit quality of our loan portfolio and establishing the allowance for credit losses.

On June 1, 2023, we adopted ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) – Troubled Debt Restructured (“TDR”)Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures, using the prospective adoption method.The ASU eliminated the accounting guidance for TDRs and enhanced the disclosure requirements for loan refinancings and restructurings made with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty, which are to be applied prospectively. For additional information on the adoption of ASU 2022-02 see “Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”

We had no loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during Q3 FY2024. We had one loan modification to a NCSC telecom borrower experiencing financial difficulty during YTD FY2024. This loan received a term extension and had an amortized cost of $3 million as of February 29, 2024, representing 1% of the NCSC telecom loan portfolio. Loans

We did not have any loans modified to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty totaled $3 million as of February 29, 2024, consisting of one NCSC telecom loan as TDRs duringdiscussed above, which wasperforming in accordance with the six months ended November 30, 2017. The following table provides a summaryterms of loans modified as TDRs in prior periods, the performance status of these loans and theloan agreement. There were no unadvanced loan commitments related to this loan.

Troubled Debt Restructurings—Prior to the Adoption of ASU 2022-02

As discussed above, ASU 2022-02 eliminated the accounting guidance for TDRs. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2022-02, a loan restructuring or modification of terms was accounted for as a TDR if, for economic or legal reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, a concession was granted to the borrower that we would not otherwise consider. The following table presents the outstanding balance of modified loans accounted for as TDRs and the performance status, by legal entity and member class, of these loans as of November 30, 2017 and May 31, 2017.2023.

our internally assigned borrower risk ratings, which are intended to assess the general creditworthiness of the borrower and probability of default. Our borrower risk ratings fall intoalign with the U.S. federal banking regulatory agencies’ credit risk definitions of pass and criticized categories, with the criticized category further segmented among special mention, substandard and doubtful. Pass ratings reflect relatively low probability of default, while criticized ratings have a higher probability of default.

The following four categories based onis a description of the criteria identified below.borrower risk rating categories.


Pass:  Borrowers that are not experiencing difficulty and/included in the categories of special mention, substandard or not showing a potential or well-defined credit weakness.
doubtful.
Special Mention:  Borrowers that may be characterized by a potential credit weakness or deteriorating financial condition that is not sufficiently serious to warrant a classification of substandard or doubtful.

Substandard:  Borrowers that display a well-defined credit weakness that may jeopardize the full collection of principal and interest.
Doubtful:  Borrowers that have a well-defined credit weakness and theor weaknesses that make full collection of principal and interest, ison the basis of currently known facts, conditions and collateral values, highly questionable orand improbable.


Loans to borrowersOur internally assigned borrower risk ratings serve as the primary credit quality indicator for our loan portfolio. Because our internal borrower risk ratings provide important information on the probability of default, they are a key input in the pass and special mention categories are generally included in the collective loan portfolio for purposes of determining theour allowance for loancredit losses. Loans to borrowers in the substandard and doubtful categories are generally considered to be individually impaired and therefore reflected in the impaired loan portfolio. The special mention, substandard, and doubtful categories are intended to comply with the definition of criticized loans by the banking regulatory authorities.

Allowance for Loan Losses

We maintain an allowance for loan losses at a level estimated by management2023. The borrower risk rating categories presented below correspond to provide for probable losses inherentthe borrower risk rating categories used in the loan portfolio as of each balance sheet date. Our allowance for loan losses consists of an amount for loans collectively evaluated for impairment, referred to ascalculating our collective allowance and an amount for credit losses. If a parent company provides a guarantee of full repayment of loans designated as individually impaired, referred to as our specificof a subsidiary borrower, we include the loans outstanding in the borrower risk-rating category of the guarantor parent company rather than the risk rating category of the subsidiary borrower for purposes of calculating the collective allowance.



We present term loans outstanding as of February 29, 2024, by fiscal year of origination for each year during the five-year annual reporting period beginning in fiscal year 2020, and in the aggregate for periods prior to fiscal year 2020. The origination period represents the date CFC advances funds to a borrower, rather than the execution date of a loan facility for a borrower. Revolving loans are presented separately due to the nature of revolving loans. The substantial majority of loans in our portfolio represent fixed-rate advances under secured long-term facilities with terms up to 35 years, and as indicated in Table 4.6 below, term loan advances made to borrowers prior to fiscal year 2020 totaled $17,832 million, representing 52% of our total loans outstanding of $34,399 million as of February 29, 2024. The average remaining maturity of our long-term loans, which accounted for 90% of total loans outstanding as of February 29, 2024, was 19 years.

The decrease of $55 million in criticized loans was primarily due to loan payments received from Brazos and Brazos Sandy Creek in the doubtful category and a decrease in loans outstanding for one CFC electric distribution borrower in the special mention category during YTD FY2024. Each of the borrowers with loans outstanding in the criticized category was current with regard to all principal and interest amounts due to us as of February 29, 2024. In contrast, each of the borrowers with loans outstanding in the criticized category, with the exception of Brazos Sandy Creek, was current with regard to all principal and interest amounts due to us as of May 31, 2023.

Special Mention

One CFC electric distribution borrower with loans outstanding of $167 million and $194 million as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023, respectively, accounted for the substantial majority of loans in the special mention loan category amount of $183 million and $211 million as of each respective date. This borrower experienced an adverse financial impact from restoration costs incurred to repair damage caused by two successive hurricanes. We expect that the borrower will continue to receive grant funds from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the state where it is located for the full reimbursement of the hurricane damage-related restoration costs.

Substandard

We did not have any loans classified as substandard as of February 29, 2024 or May 31, 2023.

Doubtful

We had one loan outstanding classified as doubtful totaling $85 million as of February 29, 2024 to a CFC electric power supply borrower. We had loans outstanding classified as doubtful totaling $112 million as of May 31, 2023, consisting of an $85 million loan outstanding to a CFC electric power supply borrower and $27 million of loans outstanding to Brazos and Brazos Sandy Creek. See“Troubled Debt RestructuringsPrior to the Adoption of ASU 2022-02” and “Nonperforming Loans above for additional information on these loans.

Unadvanced Loan Commitments

Unadvanced loan commitments represent approved and executed loan contracts for which funds have not been advanced to borrowers. The following table presents unadvanced loan commitments, by member class and by loan type, as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023.

(2)The interest rate on unadvanced loan commitments is not set until an advance is made; therefore, all unadvanced long-term loan commitments are reported as variable rate. However, the borrower may select either a fixed or a variable rate when an advance is drawn under a loan commitment.

Unadvanced line of credit commitments accounted for 61% of total unadvanced loan commitments as of February 29, 2024, while unadvanced long-term loan commitments accounted for 39% of total unadvanced loan commitments. Unadvanced line of credit commitments are typically revolving facilities for periods not to exceed five years and generally serve as supplemental back-up liquidity to our borrowers. Historically, borrowers have not drawn the full commitment amount for line of credit facilities, and we have experienced a very low utilization rate on line of credit loan facilities regardless of whether or not we are obligated to fund the facility when a material adverse change has occurred.

Our unadvanced long-term loan commitments typically have a five-year draw period under which a borrower may draw funds prior to the expiration of the commitment. We expect that the majority of the long-term unadvanced loan commitments of $6,073 million will be advanced prior to the expiration of the commitment.
____________________________
Because we historically have experienced a very low utilization rate on line of credit loan facilities, which account for the majority of our total unadvanced loan commitments, we believe the unadvanced loan commitment total of $15,763 million as of February 29, 2024 is not necessarily representative of our future funding requirements.

Unadvanced Loan Commitments—Conditional

The substantial majority of our line of credit commitments and all of our unadvanced long-term loan commitments include material adverse change clauses. Unadvanced loan commitments subject to material adverse change clauses totaled $12,363 million and $11,617 million as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023, respectively. Prior to making an advance on these facilities, we confirm that there has been no material adverse change in the business or condition, financial or otherwise, of the borrower since the time the loan was approved and confirm that the borrower is currently in compliance with loan terms and conditions. In some cases, the borrower’s access to the full amount of the facility is further constrained by the designated purpose, imposition of borrower-specific restrictions or by additional conditions that must be met prior to advancing funds.

Unadvanced Loan Commitments—Unconditional

Unadvanced loan commitments not subject to material adverse change clauses at the time of each advance consisted of unadvanced committed lines of credit totaling $3,400 million and $3,172 million as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023, respectively. We are required to advance amounts on these committed facilities as long as the borrower is in compliance with the terms and conditions of the facility. The following table summarizes the available balance under unconditional committed lines of credit as of February 29, 2024, and the related maturity amounts in each fiscal year during the five-year period ending May 31, 2028, and thereafter.

NOTE 5—ALLOWANCE FOR CREDIT LOSSES

We are required to maintain an allowance based on a current estimate of credit losses that are expected to occur over the remaining term of the loans in our portfolio. Our allowance for credit losses consists of a collective allowance and an asset-specific allowance. The collective allowance is established for loans in our portfolio that share similar risk characteristics and are therefore evaluated on a collective, or pool, basis in measuring expected credit losses. The asset-specific allowance is established for loans in our portfolio that do not share similar risk characteristics with other loans in our portfolio and are therefore evaluated on an individual basis in measuring expected credit losses.

Our allowance for credit losses and allowance coverage ratio decreased to $49 million and 0.14%, respectively, as of February 29, 2024, from $53 million and 0.16%, respectively, as of May 31, 2023. The $4 million decrease in the allowance for credit losses reflected a reduction in the asset-specific allowance of $8 million, partially offset by an increase in the collective allowance of $4 million. The decrease in the asset-specific allowance was primarily attributable to an increase in the expected payments on a nonperforming CFC power supply loan. The increase in the collective allowance was primarily due to loan portfolio growth and a slight decline in the overall credit quality and risk profile of our loan portfolio.

Reserve for Credit Losses—Unadvanced Loan Commitments


We alsoIn addition to the allowance for credit losses for our loan portfolio, we maintain a reservean allowance for unadvanced loan commitments at a level estimated by management to provide for probablecredit losses under these commitments as of each balance sheet dated. Unadvanced loan commitments are analyzed and segregated by loan type and risk using our internal risk rating scales. We use these risk classifications, in combination with the probability of commitment usage, and any other pertinent information to estimate a reserve for unadvanced loan commitments, which we recordrefer to as our reserve for credit losses because this amount is reported as a liabilitycomponent of other liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We measure the reserve for credit losses for unadvanced loan commitments based on expected credit losses over the contractual period of our exposure to credit risk arising from our obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by us. The reserve for thesecredit losses related to our off-balance sheet exposure for unadvanced loan commitments was $0.1less than $1 million as of both November 30, 2017February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2017.2023.

On February 8, 2024, we issued $100 million of 7.125% subordinated deferrable debt due 2053, which pays interest semi-annually, may be called at par every five years, resets to a new fixed rate every five years based on the five-year U.S. Treasury rate plus a spread of 3.533% and allows us to defer the payment of interest for one or more consecutive interest periods not exceeding 20 consecutive semi-annual periods. To date, we have not exercised our right to defer interest payments.

NOTE 8—9—DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES


Use of Derivatives

We are an end user of derivative financial instruments and do not engage in derivative trading. We use derivatives, primarily interest rate swaps and Treasury rate locks, to manage interest rate risk. Derivatives may be privately negotiated contracts, which are often referred to as over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives, or they may be listed and traded on an exchange. We generally engage in OTC derivative transactions.

Accounting for Derivatives

In accordance with the accounting standards for derivatives and hedging activities, we record Our derivative instruments at fair value as either a derivative asset or derivative liability onare an integral part of our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We report derivative asset and liability amounts on a gross basis based on individual contracts, which does not take into consideration the effects of master netting agreements or collateral netting. Derivativesinterest rate risk-management strategy. Our principal purpose in a gain position are reported as derivative assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, while derivatives in a loss position are reported as derivative liabilities. Accrued interest related tousing derivatives is reported onto manage our condensed consolidated balance sheets as a component of either accruedaggregate interest and other receivables or accrued interest payable.

If we do not elect hedge accounting treatment, changes in the fair value ofrate risk profile within prescribed risk parameters. The derivative instruments whichwe use primarily consist of net accrued periodic derivative cash settlements and derivative forward value amounts, are recognized in our consolidated statements of operations under derivative gains (losses). If we elect hedge accounting treatment for derivatives, we formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness of the hedge relationship. Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as qualifying fair value hedges are recorded in earnings together with offsetting changes in the fair value of the hedged item and any related ineffectiveness. Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as qualifying cash flow hedges are recorded as a component of OCI, to the extent that the hedge relationships are effective, and reclassified AOCI to earnings using the effective interest method over the term of the forecasted transaction. Any ineffectiveness in the hedging relationship is recognized as a component of derivative gains (losses) in our consolidated statement of operations.

We generally do not designate interest rate swaps, which currently represent allwe typically hold to maturity. In addition, we may use Treasury locks to manage the interest rate risk associated with future debt issuance or debt that is scheduled to reprice in the future. We provide a discussion of our outstandingaccounting for derivatives for hedge accounting.

Cash Flow Hedges

On November 3, 2023, we executed two Treasury lock agreements with an index basedaggregate notional amount of $300 million to hedge interest rate risk by locking in the underlying U.S. Treasury interest rate component of interest rate payments on anticipated debt issuances. The Treasury locks were designated and qualified as cash flow hedges. On November 7, 2023, we terminated the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) for eitherTreasury locks upon the pay or receive legpricing of the swap agreement.$300 million of notes payable under our Farmer Mac revolving note purchase agreement and recorded a net settlement gain of less than $1 million in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”), which is reclassified into interest expense over the term of the related Farmer Mac borrowings.

In January 2023, we executed two Treasury lock agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $300 million to hedge interest rate risk on anticipated debt issuances. The agreements, which were scheduled to mature on December 2023, were designated as a cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction. In February 2023, we terminated the Treasury locks and recorded a settlement gain of $8 million in AOCI. As the hedged forecasted transaction did not occur in the time period specified in the hedge documentation, we reclassified the $8 million gain from AOCI to earnings as a component of derivative gains (losses) on our consolidated statements of operations during Q3 FY2024.

Impact of Derivatives on Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations


DerivativeThe primary factors affecting the fair value of our derivatives and the derivative gains (losses) recorded in our consolidated statements of operations include changes in interest rates, the shape of the swap curve and the composition of our derivative portfolio. We generally record derivative losses when interest rates decline and derivative gains when interest rates rise, as our derivative portfolio consists of a higher proportion of pay-fixed swaps than receive-fixed swaps.

The following table presents the components of the derivative gains (losses) reported in our condensed consolidated statements of operations consist of derivative cash settlements and derivative forward value gains (losses).operations.

Credit-Risk-RelatedCredit Risk-Related Contingent Features


Our derivative contracts typically contain mutual early terminationearly-termination provisions, generally in the form of a credit rating trigger. Under the mutual credit rating trigger provisions, either counterparty may, but is not obligated to, terminate and settle the agreement if the credit rating of the other counterparty falls tobelow a level specified in the agreement. If a derivative contract is terminated, the amount to be received or paid by us would be equal to the mark-to-marketprevailing fair value, as defined in the agreement, as of the termination date.


During YTD FY2024, Fitch, S&P and Moody’s affirmed CFC’s credit ratings and stable outlook. Our senior unsecured credit ratings from Moody’s, and S&P wereand Fitch were A2, A- and A, respectively, as of November 30, 2017. BothFebruary 29, 2024. Moody’s, S&P and S&PFitch had our ratings on stable outlook as of November 30, 2017. February 29, 2024. Our credit ratings and outlook remain unchanged as of the date of this Report.

The following table displays the notional amounts of our derivative contracts with rating triggers as of November 30, 2017February 29, 2024, and the payments that would be required if the contracts were terminated as of that date because of a downgrade of our unsecured credit ratings or the counterparty’s unsecured credit ratings below A3/A-, below Baa1/BBB+, to or below Baa2/BBB, below Baa3/BBB- or to or below Ba2/BB+ by Moody’s or S&P, respectively. In calculating the payment amounts that would be required upon termination of the derivative contracts, we assumedassume that the amounts for each counterparty would be netted in accordance with the provisions of the master netting agreements for eachwith the counterparty. The net payment amounts are based on the fair value of the underlying derivative instrument, excluding the credit risk valuation adjustment, plus any unpaid accrued interest amounts.

See “Note 9—Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” for discussion on our derivatives designated as accounting hedges. We expect to reclassify realized net gains of $1 million attributable to derivative cash flow hedges from AOCI into earnings over the next 12 months.

NOTE 11—GUARANTEES

We guarantee certain contractual obligations of our members so they may obtain various forms of financing. We use the same credit policies and monitoring procedures in providing guarantees as we do for loans and commitments. If a member system defaults on its obligation to pay debt service, then we are obligated to pay any required amounts under our guarantees. Meeting our guarantee obligations satisfies the underlying obligation of our member systems and prevents the exercise of remedies by the guarantee beneficiary based upon a payment default by a member system. In general, the member system is required to repay any amount advanced by us with interest, pursuant to the documents evidencing the member system’s reimbursement obligation.

The following table displays the notional amount of our outstanding guarantee obligations, by guarantee type and by member class, as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023.

We are unable to determine the maximum amount of interest that we may be required to pay related to the remaining adjustable and variable-rate bonds. Many of these bonds have a call provision that allows us to call the bond in the event of a default, which would limit our exposure to future interest payments on these bonds. Our maximum potential exposure generally is secured by mortgage liens on the members’ assets and future revenue. If a member’s debt is accelerated because of a determination that the interest thereon is not tax-exempt, the member’s obligation to reimburse us for any guarantee payments will be treated as a long-term loan. The remaining long-term tax-exempt bonds of $67 million as of November 30, 2017 are fixed-rate. The maximum potential exposure for these bonds, including the outstanding principal of $67 million and related interest through maturity, totaled $96 million as of November 30, 2017.

NOTE 11—12—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT


We useFair value, also referred to as an exit price, is defined as the price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value measurementsaccounting guidance provides a three-level fair value hierarchy for classifying financial instruments. This hierarchy is based on the initial recordingmarkets in which the assets or liabilities trade and whether the inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value are observable or unobservable. The fair value measurement of certain assetsa financial asset or liability is assigned a level based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The levels, in priority order based on the extent to which observable inputs are available to measure fair value, are Level 1, Level 2 and liabilities and periodic remeasurement of certain assets and liabilities on a recurring or nonrecurring basis.Level 3. The accounting guidance for fair value measurements requires that we maximize the use of observable inputs and disclosures establishes a three-levelminimize the use of unobservable inputs in determining fair value.

The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value hierarchy that prioritizesof all of our financial instruments, including those carried at amortized cost, as of February 29, 2024 and May 31, 2023. The table also displays the inputs into the valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The levels ofclassification level within the fair value hierarchy based on the degree of observability of the inputs used in priority order, include Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3. the valuation technique for estimating fair value.

Investment Securities, Held-to-Maturity, Fair Value

As discussed above in “Note 3—Investment Securities,” we did not have any securities classified as HTM as of May 31, 2017. During the second quarter of fiscal year 2018, we commenced the purchase of additional investment securities, consisting primarily of certificates of deposit, commercial paper and corporate debt securities, commercial MBS and other ABS traded in secondary markets. We designated these securities as HTM.

Management estimates the fair value of our HTM securities utilizing the assistance of third-party pricing services. Methodologies employed, controls relied upon and inputs used by third-party pricing vendors are subject to management review when such services are provided. This review may consist of, in part, obtaining and evaluating control reports issued and pricing methodology materials distributed. We review the pricing methodologies provided by the vendors in order to determine if observable market information is being used to determine the fair value versus unobservable inputs. Investment securities traded in secondary markets are typically valued using unadjusted vendor prices. These investment securities, which include those measured using unadjusted vendor prices, are generally classified as Level 2 because the valuation typically involves using quoted market prices for similar securities, pricing models, discounted cash flow analyses using significant observable market where available or a combination of multiple valuation techniques for which all significant
assumptions are observable in the market.

Transfers Between Levels


We monitor the availability of observable market data to assess the appropriate classification of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy and transfer between Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 accordingly. Observable market data includes but is not limited to quoted prices and market transactions. Changes in economic conditions or market liquidity generally will drive changes in availability of observable market data. Changes in availability of observable market data, which also may result in changes in the valuation technique used, are generally the cause of transfers between levels. We did not have any transfers between levels for financial instruments measured atinto or out of Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during YTD FY2024 or YTD FY2023.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

We may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis on our consolidated balance sheets. These assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as in the application of November 30, 2017the lower of cost or fair value accounting or when we evaluate assets for impairment. We did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during YTD FY2024 or YTD FY2023.

NOTE 13—VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

NCSC meets the definition of a VIE because it does not have sufficient equity investment at risk to finance its activities without financial support. CFC is the primary source of funding for NCSC. Under the terms of management agreements with NCSC, CFC manages the business operations of NCSC. CFC also unconditionally guarantees full indemnification for any loan losses of NCSC pursuant to guarantee agreements with NCSC. CFC earns management and May 31, 2017guarantee fees from its agreements with NCSC. Previously, RTFC was a VIE that was required to be consolidated by CFC. Subsequent to December 1, 2023, in connection with the RTFC sale transaction, CFC is no longer a primary beneficiary of RTFC, and there were no unrealized losses for the three and six months ended November 30, 2017 and 2016 related to these assets.

accordingly, deconsolidated RTFC from its consolidated financial statements. We provide additional information on the RTFC sale transaction under “Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”
Significant Unobservable Level 3 Inputs

All loans that require NCSC board approval also require CFC board approval. CFC is not a member of NCSC and does not elect directors to the NCSC board. If CFC becomes a member of NCSC, it would control the nomination process for one NCSC director. NCSC members elect directors to the NCSC board based on one vote for each member. NCSC is a Class C member of CFC.
Impaired Loans

We utilize the fair value of estimated cash flows or the collateral underlying the loan to determine the fair value and specific allowance for impaired loans. The valuation technique used to determine fair value of the impaired loans provided by both our internal staff and third-party specialists includes market multiples (i.e., comparable companies). The significant unobservable inputs usedNCSC creditors have no recourse against CFC in the determinationevent of fair value for individually impaired loansa default by NCSC, unless there is a multipleguarantee agreement under which CFC has guaranteed NCSC debt obligations to a third party. The following table provides information on incremental consolidated assets and liabilities of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization based on various factors (i.e., financial condition of the borrower). In estimating the fair value of the collateral, we may use third-party valuation specialists, internal estimates or a combination of both. The significant unobservable inputs for estimating the fair value of impaired collateral-dependent loans are reviewed by our Credit Risk Management group to assess the reasonableness of the assumptions used and the accuracy of the work performed. In cases where we rely on third-party inputs, we use the final unadjusted third-party valuation analysis as support for any adjustments to ourVIE included in CFC’s consolidated financial statements, after intercompany eliminations, which include NCSC’s consolidated assets and disclosures.

Because of the limited amount of impaired loansliabilities as of November 30, 2017February 29, 2024 and NCSC’s and RTFC’s assets and liabilities as of May 31, 2017, we do not believe that potential changes in the significant unobservable inputs used in the determination2023.

Under a loan and security agreement with CFC, NCSC had access to a $1,500 million revolving line of credit and a $1,500 million revolving term loan from CFC as of May 31, 2023, maturing in 2067. Under a loan and security agreement with CFC, RTFC had access to a $1,000 million revolving line of credit and a $1,500 million revolving term loan from CFC as of May 31, 2023, maturing in 2067.

In connection with the RTFC sale transaction on December 1, 2023, the NCSC loan and security agreement with CFC was amended to assume the RTFC loan and security agreement with CFC and revise the amount available thereunder. As a result, as of February 29, 2024, NCSC had access to $2,000 million revolving line of credit and a $3,000 million revolving term loan from CFC which will mature in 2067.

CFC loans to NCSC are secured by all assets and revenue of NCSC. CFC’s maximum potential exposure, including interest due, for the credit enhancements totaled $50 million as of February 29, 2024. The maturities for obligations guaranteed by CFC extend through 2043.

NOTE 14—BUSINESS SEGMENTS

Our activities were previously conducted through three operating segments, which were based on each of the legal entities included in our consolidated financial statements: CFC, NCSC and RTFC. We reported segment information for CFC separately; however, we aggregated segment information for NCSC and RTFC into one reportable segment because neither entity met the quantitative materiality threshold for separate reporting under the accounting guidance governing segment reporting. As discussed above under “Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” on December 1, 2023, RTFC completed the sale of its business to NCSC. After the RTFC sale transaction, our operating segments currently consist of CFC and NCSC, which are based on each of the legal entities included in our consolidated financial statements. As we aggregated segment information for NCSC and RTFC into one reportable segment in prior periods, the RTFC sale transaction did not cause a change in the composition of our reportable segments. We present the results of our business segments on the basis in which management internally evaluates operating performance to establish short- and long-term performance goals, develop budgets and forecasts, identify potential trends, allocate resources and make compensation decisions.

Segment Results and Reconciliation

The following tables display segment results of operations for Q3 FY2024 and YTD FY2024, and Q3 FY2023 and YTD FY2023, assets attributable to each segment as of February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023 and a reconciliation of total segment amounts to our consolidated total amounts.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

Item 4.     Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, senior management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on this evaluation process, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended November 30, 2017February 29, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.



PART II—OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.Legal Proceedings

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings

From time to time, CFC is subject to certain legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, including litigation with borrowers related to enforcement or collection actions. Management presently believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not materially harm our financial position, liquidity or results of operations. CFC establishes reserves for specific legal matters when it determines that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is probable and the loss is reasonably estimable. Accordingly, no reserve has been recorded with respect to any legal proceedings at this time.


Item 1A.Risk Factors

ReferItem 1A.    Risk Factors

Our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity are subject to various risks and uncertainties, some of which are inherent in the financial services industry and others of which are more specific to our own business. We identify and discuss the most significant risk factors of which we are currently aware that could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity in the section “Part I—Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 20172023 Form 10-K, for information regarding factors that could affect our results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.as filed with the SEC on August 2, 2023. We are not aware of any material changes in the risk factors set forth under “Part I— Item 1A. Risk Factors”identified in our 20172023 Form 10-K. However, other risks and uncertainties, including those not currently known to us, could also negatively impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. Therefore, the risk factors identified and discussed in our 2023 Form 10-K should not be considered a complete discussion of all the risks and uncertainties we may face. For information on how we manage our key risks, see “Item 7. MD&A—Enterprise Risk Management” in our 2023 Form 10-K.
