Farm Unit Economics Summary
The Model 5 Farm Design represents AeroFarms' technology that will be deployed in early 2021. Over time, modest performance improvements
are modeled for future farm generations, namely the Model 6/7 Farm Designs.
Each farm design is modeled to include the modest performance gains described below:
Key Assumptions¹
Total Project Capital
(reduces by 10% each model)
Annual Revenue
(increases by 10% each model)
Gross Profit
(COGS decreases by 10% each model)
EBITDA²
Unlevered IRR2,3

Description
Includes working capital and tenant
improvements but excludes leased real estate
Levers for increase: yield, product mix, price
Includes depreciation of fixed assets
Includes corporate SG&A allocation
Unlevered farm return, with corporate SG&A
allocation
¹ Represents 48-grow tower farm economics for each Model 5/6/7. Business plan includes farms of 48 grow towers and large farms of 144 grow towers, sequenced in a rollout of Model 5 farms (financial close beginning March 2021), Model 6 farms
(March 2022), and Model 7 farms (September 2023). Models 6 farm reflects modest performance improvements (10%) in the following areas, relative to Model 5: revenue, COGS excl. rent and depreciation, capex incl. tenant improvements; the Model
7 farm represents a further 10% improvement vs. Model 6, at farm stabilization
²Assumes illustrative SG&A allocation to support farm operations; the AeroFarms projections on the following slide carry this SG&A allocation and additional corporate SG&A
