Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations
As discussed above in the section “Non-GAAP Financial Measures,” in addition to financial measures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, management evaluates performance based on certain non-GAAP financial measures, which we refer to as “adjusted” financial measures. Below we provide a reconciliation of our adjusted financial measures presented in this Report to the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. See “Item 7. MD&A—Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Reconciliations” in our 2025 Form 10-K for a discussion of each of these non-GAAP financial measures and an explanation of the adjustments to derive these measures.
Net Income and Adjusted Net Income
Table 30 provides a reconciliation of adjusted interest expense, adjusted net interest income, and adjusted net income to the comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. These adjusted financial measures are used in the calculation of our adjusted net interest yield and adjusted TIER.
Table 30: Adjusted Net Income
| (Dollars in thousands) | Q3 FY2026 | Q3 FY2025 | YTD FY2026 | YTD FY2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adjusted net interest income: | ||||
| Interest income | $449,570 | $428,860 | $1,342,690 | $1,266,856 |
| Interest expense | (370,010) | (361,918) | (1,120,145) | (1,072,821) |
| Include: Derivative cash settlements interest income(1) | 12,592 | 20,309 | 50,444 | 78,776 |
| Adjusted interest expense | (357,418) | (341,609) | (1,069,701) | (994,045) |
| Adjusted net interest income | $92,152 | $87,251 | $272,989 | $272,811 |
| Adjusted net income: | ||||
| Net income | $22,737 | $86,136 | $46,977 | $66,613 |
| Exclude: Derivative forward value gains (losses)(2) | (44,962) | 19,833 | (133,659) | (127,921) |
| Adjusted net income | $67,699 | $66,303 | $180,636 | $194,534 |
(1)Represents primarily the net periodic contractual interest income amount on our interest rate swaps during the reporting period.
(2)Represents the change in fair value of our interest rate swaps during the reporting period due to changes in expected future interest rates over the remaining life of our derivative contracts.
We primarily fund our loan portfolio through the issuance of debt. However, we use derivatives as economic hedges as part of our strategy to manage the interest rate risk associated with funding our loan portfolio. We therefore consider the interest income and expense incurred on our derivatives to be part of our funding cost in addition to the interest expense on our debt. As such, we add net periodic derivative cash settlements interest income and expense amounts to our reported interest expense to derive our adjusted interest expense and adjusted net interest income. We exclude unrealized derivative forward value gains (losses) from our adjusted net income.
TIER and Adjusted TIER
Table 31 displays the calculation of our TIER and adjusted TIER.
Table 31: TIER and Adjusted TIER
| Q3 FY2026 | Q3 FY2025 | YTD FY2026 | YTD FY2025 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TIER(1) | 1.06 | 1.24 | 1.04 | 1.06 |
| Adjusted TIER(2) | 1.19 | 1.19 | 1.17 | 1.20 |
(1)TIER is calculated based on our net income (loss) plus interest expense for the period divided by interest expense for the period.
(2)Adjusted TIER is calculated based on adjusted net income (loss) plus adjusted interest expense for the period divided by adjusted interest expense for the period.
Debt Outstanding and Equity and Adjusted Debt Outstanding and Equity

Total CFC Equity and Members’Equity
Members’ equity excludes the noncash impact of derivative forward value gains (losses) and foreign currency adjustments recorded in net income and amounts recorded in AOCI. 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 34 provides a reconciliation of members’ equity to total CFC equity as of February 28, 2026 and May 31, 2025. We present the components of AOCI in “Note 10—Equity.”
Table 34: Members’ Equity
| (Dollars in thousands) | February 28, 2026 | May 31, 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Members’ equity: | ||
| Total CFC equity | $3,075,515 | $3,082,477 |
| Exclude: | ||
| Accumulated other comprehensive loss | (2,231) | (2,236) |
| Period-end cumulative derivative forward value gains attributable to CFC(1) | 368,131 | 501,663 |
| Subtotal | 365,900 | 499,427 |
| Members’ equity | $2,709,615 | $2,583,050 |
(1)Represents period-end cumulative derivative forward value gains for CFC only, as total CFC equity does not include the noncontrolling interest of the variable interest entity, which we are required to consolidate. 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 28, 2026 and May 31, 2025 are presented above in Table 32.
