With thanks for your continued support, Joel Cunningham President, CFC Board of Directors Sheldon C. Petersen CEO Joel Cunningham Board President Sheldon C. Petersen CEO T his year, CFC proudly celebrates 45 years of service to our nation’s electric cooperatives. Throughout all of the ups and downs of the past 45 years, CFC has stood ready, willing and able to provide the capital that our members need to power and grow rural America. Of course, the CFC story is about so much more than financing electric power. It’s about big dreams, hard work and most importantly, the core values of service, integrity and excellence—the values that define not only CFC, but also the entire electric cooperative network. Whether it’s our emergency lines of credit that are tapped after a weather disaster, our unique relationships with the capital markets and our banking partners, or the investment opportunities we offer our members, CFC has been there for all of our members’ evolving financial needs—and fiscal year 2014 was no exception. At May 31, 2014, CFC’s total loans outstanding were $20.5 billion. In FY2014, CFC advanced $1.7 billion in long- term loans to our electric cooperative members—largely offset by predominantly principal amortization and loan sales to result in a net increase of $171 million in loans outstanding since the end of FY2013. Consistent with our culture of being much more than just a lender, CFC has continued to provide our members a wide range of world-class meetings and educational opportunities, including Forum, IBES, Statewide Financial Workshops, Orientations, Financial Webinar Series and the Cooperative Financial Professional Certificate program. In fact, CFC hosted its very first Forum in Chicago 20 years ago, which continues to be a valuable conference tailored to meet the unique needs of the electric cooperative industry. *For more information on the adjustments that CFC makes to its financial results for the purposes of its own analysis and covenant compliance, refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in the Management’s Discussion & Analysis (MD&A) section of the May 31, 2014, Form 10-K.
