AMERICOLD ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2025 RESULTS
Delivered $0.34 AFFO per share
Completed Houston Warehouse Acquisition Enabling a Significant New Retail Customer Win
Increased Quarterly Dividend by 5%
Updated 2025 Full-Year Outlook
Atlanta, GA, May 8, 2025 - Americold Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: COLD) (the “Company”), a global leader in temperature-controlled logistics, real estate, and value-added services focused on the ownership, operation, acquisition and development of temperature-controlled warehouses, today announced financial and operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.
George Chappelle, Chief Executive Officer of Americold Realty Trust, stated, “We are pleased with our first quarter 2025 results, which included delivering AFFO of $0.34 per share in line with expectations. This performance was enabled by our successful efforts over the past three years to create a more stable and productive workforce, as well as the enhancements we have made to our technology and operating platforms. We believe these initiatives have created a more solid and resilient foundation that allows us to effectively navigate in the current operating environment and positions us well for the long term.”
“We are continuing to make investments in our future and I’m particularly excited about the Houston acquisition which closed during the first quarter. The catalyst for this acquisition was a new fixed commitment contract with one of the world’s largest retailers, a significant win from our sales pipeline. The purchase of this facility allowed us to move inventory from an existing location into the newly acquired site, thereby opening space for this new customer and allowing for a more efficient allocation of inventory across both sites. Retail business is a key focus for us and customers continue to recognize Americold for our service and rigorous operational standards. This win further expands our industry-leading presence in the important retail segment of the market that requires the operational expertise that our platform provides.”
“In response to current headwinds created by the current macro-economic environment, we are prudently adjusting our near-term outlook, while remaining confident in our long-term growth trajectory. We believe the fundamentals of the cold storage industry remain attractive, and during the first quarter we increased our dividend by 5% to reflect our confidence in Americold’s resiliency and strong cash flow generation. I want to thank our experienced and talented team for their strong execution as we continue to successfully navigate through these evolving market conditions.”

First Quarter 2025 Total Company Financial Results
Total revenues for the first quarter of 2025 were $629.0 million, a 5.4% decrease from $665.0 million in the same quarter of the prior year, primarily due to lower volumes in the warehouse segment and a decrease in transportation services revenue.
Total NOI for the first quarter of 2025 was $205.8 million, a decrease of 2.4% (1.5% decrease on a constant currency basis) from the same quarter of the prior year. This decrease is primarily related to a decrease in transportation NOI which was primarily due to customer exits.

This was primarily driven by an increase in closed site related charges recognized within Acquisition, cyber incident, and other, net, increased Selling, general, and administrative expenses, and the factors driving the decrease in NOI mentioned above.

(2)The non-same store facility count consists of: 8 facilities where the executive leadership team has approved exits in the current year (4 of which are leased facilities and 4 of which are owned facilities and the Company is in pursuit to sell), 2 sites in the recently completed expansion and development phase (further detailed in the External Development and Capital Deployment section of our quarterly supplement), and 1 facility that we purchased in 2025. As of March 31, 2025, there are 6 sites in the development and expansion phase that will be added to the non-same store pool when operations commence.
(3)Calculated as non-same store rent and storage revenues less non-same store power and other facilities costs.
(4)Calculated as non-same store warehouse services revenues less non-same store labor and other services costs.
(5)We define average economic occupied pallets as the sum of the average number of physically occupied pallets and otherwise contractually committed pallets for a given period, without duplication. Economic occupancy percentage is calculated by dividing the average economic occupied pallets by the estimated average of total physical pallet positions in our warehouses, regardless of whether they are occupied, for the applicable period.
(6)We define average physical occupied pallets as the average number of physically occupied pallets positions in our warehouses for the applicable period. Physical occupancy percentage is calculated by dividing the average number of physically occupied pallets by the estimated average of total physical pallet positions in our warehouses, regardless of whether they are occupied, for the applicable period.

Financial Supplement | First Quarter 2025 |
Warehouse Results
For the first quarter of 2025, Global Warehouse segment revenues were $575.4 million, a decrease of $22.4 million, or 3.7% (2.8% decrease on a constant currency basis), compared to $597.7 million for the first quarter of 2024. This decrease was principally driven by lower volumes and throughput pallets as we are lapping unusually high, counter-cyclical inventory levels in the first quarter of 2024, partially offset by annual rate increases in the normal course of operations.
Global Warehouse segment contribution (NOI) was $196.6 million for the first quarter of 2025 as compared to $197.1 million for the first quarter of 2024, a decrease of $0.5 million or 0.3% (0.5% increase on a constant currency basis). Global Warehouse segment contribution (NOI) decreased primarily due to the factors noted above. Global Warehouse segment margin was 34.2% for the first quarter of 2025, a 120 basis point increase as to compared to the first quarter of 2024, driven by an increased focus on workforce performance, operational efficiency, and retention.
Fixed Commitment Rent and Storage Revenues
As of March 31, 2025, $629.3 million of the Company’s annualized rent and storage revenues were derived from customers with fixed commitment storage contracts compared to $625.3 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024 and $597.9 million at the end of the first quarter of 2024. On a combined basis, 60.1% of rent and storage revenues were generated from fixed commitment storage contracts. On a combined basis, 60.6% of total warehouse segment revenues were generated from customers with fixed committed contracts or leases.
Economic and Physical Occupancy
Fixed commitments storage contracts are designed to ensure the Company’s customers have space available when needed. For the first quarter of 2025, economic occupancy for the total warehouse segment was 74.7% and the warehouse segment same store pool was 76.6%, representing a 1,140 and 1,150 basis point increase above physical occupancy, respectively. Economic occupancy for the total warehouse segment decreased 470 basis points, and the warehouse segment same store pool decreased 420 basis points as compared to the first quarter of 2024. This was primarily due to unusually high inventory levels during the first quarter of 2024, therefore impacting comparability in the first quarter of 2025. Additionally, overall volumes are also impacted by recent regulatory shifts, a competitive and inflationary environment, and abnormal credit yields, all impacting consumer buying habits and the related food production levels.
Real Estate Portfolio
As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s portfolio consists of 238 facilities. The Company ended the first quarter of 2025 with 235 facilities in its Global Warehouse segment portfolio and 3 facilities in its Third-party managed segment. The same store population consists of 224 facilities for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. The non-same store facility count consists of: 8 facilities where the executive leadership team has approved exits in the current year (4 of which are leased facilities and 4 of which are owned facilities and the Company is in pursuit to sell), 2 sites in the recently completed expansion and development phase (further detailed in the External Development and Capital Deployment section of our quarterly supplement), and 1 facility that we purchased in 2025. As of March 31, 2025, there are 6 sites in the development and expansion phase that will be added to the non-same store pool when operations commence.
Balance Sheet Activity and Liquidity
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had total liquidity of approximately $651.2 million, including cash and available capacity on its revolving credit facility. Total net debt outstanding was approximately $3.7 billion (inclusive of approximately $187.0 million of financing leases/sale lease-backs and exclusive of unamortized deferred financing fees), of which 95.1% was in an unsecured structure. At quarter end, net debt to pro forma Core EBITDA (based on trailing twelve months Core EBITDA) was approximately 5.9x. The Company’s unsecured debt has a remaining weighted average term of 4.7 years, inclusive of extensions that the Company is expected to utilize, and carries a weighted average contractual interest rate of 4.0%. As of March 31, 2025, approximately 86.3% of the Company’s total debt outstanding was at a fixed rate, inclusive of hedged variable-rate for fixed-rate debt. The Company has no material debt maturities until 2026, inclusive of extension options.

Capital Expenditures and Repair and Maintenance Expenses
Maintenance Capital Expenditures and Repair and Maintenance Expenses
We utilize a strategic approach to maintenance capital expenditures and repair and maintenance expenses to maintain the high quality and operational efficiency of our warehouses and equipment and ensure that our assets meet the “mission-critical” role they serve in the cold chain. The Company assesses its capital expenditure requirements regularly to ensure that it meets maintenance obligations in a timely manner.
Maintenance Capital Expenditures
Maintenance capital expenditures are capitalized funds used to uphold and extend the useful life of assets, resulting in future economic benefits. These expenditures relate to routine and recurring maintenance that are essential to sustain current operations. This includes the cost to purchase and install, repair, or construct assets when it results in a useful life longer than one year and the cost per asset is over a de minimis threshold.
Examples of maintenance capital expenditures related to real estate are roof replacements, refrigeration equipment refurbishment, and racking system repairs. Examples of maintenance capital expenditures related to personal property include expenditures on material handling equipment and transportation assets. Examples of maintenance capital expenditures related to information technology include maintenance on existing servers, networking equipment and minor software updates.
Repair and Maintenance Expenses
We incur repair and maintenance expenses that include costs of routine maintenance and repairs that do not materially extend the useful life of the asset and minor replacements with an asset value that are less than a de minimis threshold. These expenditures are included as an operating expense in our statement of operations. Examples of repair and maintenance expenses include ordinary repairs on roofs, racking, refrigeration and material handling equipment.
The following table sets forth our repair and maintenance expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Personal property | | | | | 19,915 | | | 16,304 | |
Total repair and maintenance expenses | | | | | $ | 31,521 | | | $ | 30,892 | |
External Growth and Integration Capital Expenditures
External growth and integration capital expenditures refer to investments to expand our operations and enhance market position through mergers and acquisitions. These expenditures typically include costs associated with acquiring new businesses, integrating operational systems, rebranding, and upgrading infrastructure to our standards. Unlike organic growth, which focuses on internal development through existing resources and capabilities, external growth strategies rely on leveraging external assets and synergies to drive value creation and achieve strategic objectives.
The Company completed the Houston acquisition on March 17, 2025 for total cash consideration of $108.4 million. The strategic benefits of the acquisition include the ability to accommodate a significant high-turn retail fixed committed customer.

Financial Supplement | First Quarter 2025 |
Expansion, Development and Organic Capital Expenditures
Expansion, development and organic growth capital expenditures refer to investments to enhance our existing operations and increase storage capacity. Examples of capital expenditures associated with expansion, development and organic growth are warehouse and pallet position expansion, expansion of drop lots, greenfield developments, and purchase of leased facilities.
The expansion and development expenditures (inclusive of capitalized interest, compensation, and travel expenses) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 include $20.1 million related to the Kansas City, Missouri development; $18.6 million related to the Allentown, Pennsylvania expansion; $8.6 million for the Dallas Ft. Worth, Texas expansion; $7.1 million related to the Sydney, Australia expansion; $2.3 million for the Saint John, NB, Canada development; and $1.5 million related to the Christchurch, New Zealand expansion.
Customer Attraction and Retention Capital Expenditures
Customer attraction and retention capital expenditures refer to investments that enhance customer engagement, satisfaction, and loyalty to drive revenue growth for new and existing customers and reduce customer churn. These expenditures include replacing existing components of assets before the end of their functional lives, improvements to warehouse configurations to provide a more customer-friendly experience, and improvements to outdoor facades.
Technological Upgrades and Enhancements
Technological upgrades and enhancements refer to investments aimed at improving our technological infrastructure and capabilities to increase efficiency, productivity, and competitiveness. This category includes investments in hardware, software, and systems that automate processes, enhance data analytics, and improve cyber security. This category also includes ESG initiatives including the installation of LED lighting, solar panels, hydrogen fuel cells, high speed dock doors, and other asset modernization.
The following table sets forth our total capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

We view and manage our business through three primary business segments—warehouse, transportation, and third-party managed. Our core business is our warehouse segment, where we provide temperature-controlled warehouse storage and related handling and other warehouse services. In our warehouse segment, we collect rent and storage fees from customers to store their frozen and perishable food and other products within our real estate portfolio. We also provide our customers with handling and other warehouse services related to the products stored in our buildings that are designed to optimize their movement through the cold chain, such as the placement of food products for storage and preservation, the retrieval of products from storage upon customer request, case-picking, blast freezing, produce grading and bagging, ripening, kitting, protein boxing, repackaging, e-commerce fulfillment, and other recurring handling services.
In our transportation segment, we broker and manage transportation of frozen and perishable food and other products for our customers. Our transportation services include consolidation services (i.e., consolidating a customer’s products with those of other customers for more efficient shipment), freight under management services (i.e., arranging for and overseeing transportation of customer inventory) and dedicated transportation services, each designed to improve efficiency and reduce transportation and logistics costs to our customers. We provide these transportation services at cost plus a service fee or, in the case of our consolidation or dedicated services, we may charge a fixed fee. We supplemented our regional, national and truckload consolidation services with the transportation operations from various warehouse acquisitions. We also provide multi-modal global freight forwarding services to support our customers’ needs in certain markets.
Under our third-party managed segment, we manage warehouses on behalf of third parties and provide warehouse management services to leading food manufacturers and retailers in their owned facilities. We believe using our third-party management services allows our customers to increase efficiency, reduce costs, reduce supply-chain risks and focus on their core businesses. We also believe that providing third-party management services allows us to offer a complete and integrated suite of services across the cold chain.

Notes and Definitions |
We use the following non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental performance measures of our business: NAREIT FFO, Core FFO, Adjusted FFO, NAREIT EBITDAre, Core EBITDA, Core EBITDA margin, net debt to pro-forma Core EBITDA, segment contribution (“NOI”) and margin, same store revenues and NOI, certain constant currency metrics, and maintenance capital expenditures. |
We calculate NAREIT funds from operations, or NAREIT FFO, in accordance with the standards established by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT. NAREIT defines FFO as net income or loss determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding extraordinary items as defined under U.S. GAAP and gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated operating real estate and other assets, plus specified non-cash items, such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization, impairment charges on real estate related assets, and our share of reconciling items for partially owned entities. We believe that NAREIT FFO is helpful to investors as a supplemental performance measure because it excludes the effect of real estate related depreciation, amortization and gains or losses from sales of real estate or real estate related assets, all of which are based on historical costs, which implicitly assumes that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, NAREIT FFO can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and among other equity REITs. |
We calculate core funds from operations, or Core FFO, as NAREIT FFO adjusted for the effects of Net loss (gain) on sale of non-real assets; Acquisition, cyber incident, and other, net; Loss on debt extinguishment and termination of derivative instruments; Foreign currency exchange loss; Gain on legal settlement related to prior period operations; Project Orion deferred costs amortization; and Our share of reconciling items related to partially owned entities. We believe that Core FFO is helpful to investors as a supplemental performance measure because it excludes the effects of certain items which can create significant earnings volatility, but which do not directly relate to our core business operations. We believe Core FFO can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods, while also providing a more meaningful predictor of future earnings potential. |
However, because NAREIT FFO and Core FFO add back real estate depreciation and amortization and do not capture the level of maintenance capital expenditures necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, both of which have material economic impacts on our results from operations, we believe the utility of NAREIT FFO and Core FFO measures of our performance may be limited. |
We calculate adjusted funds from operations, or Adjusted FFO, as Core FFO adjusted for the effects of Amortization of deferred financing costs and pension withdrawal liability; Amortization of below/above market leases; Straight-line rent adjustment; Deferred income tax expense; Stock-based compensation expense; Non-real estate depreciation and amortization; Maintenance capital expenditures; and Our share of reconciling items related to partially owned entities. We believe that Adjusted FFO is helpful to investors as a meaningful supplemental comparative performance measure of our ability to make incremental capital investments in our business and to assess our ability to fund distribution requirements from our operating activities. |
NAREIT FFO, Core FFO and Adjusted FFO are used by management, investors and industry analysts as supplemental measures of operating performance of equity REITs. NAREIT FFO, Core FFO and Adjusted FFO should be evaluated along with U.S. GAAP net income and net income per diluted share (the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures) in evaluating our operating performance. NAREIT FFO, Core FFO and Adjusted FFO do not represent net income or cash flows from operating activities in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are not indicative of our results of operations or cash flows from operating activities as disclosed in our consolidated statements of operations included in our quarterly and annual reports. NAREIT FFO, Core FFO and Adjusted FFO should be considered as supplements, but not alternatives, to our net income or cash flows from operating activities as indicators of our operating performance. Moreover, other REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition or may interpret the NAREIT definition differently than we do. Accordingly, our NAREIT FFO may not be comparable to FFO as calculated by other REITs. In addition, there is no industry definition of Core FFO or Adjusted FFO and, as a result, other REITs may also calculate Core FFO or Adjusted FFO, or other similarly-captioned metrics, in a manner different than we do. We reconcile NAREIT FFO, Core FFO and Adjusted FFO to Net (loss) income, which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. |
We calculate NAREIT EBITDA for Real Estate, or NAREIT EBITDAre, in accordance with the standards established by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, defined as, Net (loss) income before Depreciation and amortization; Interest expense; Income tax expense; Net gain from sale of real estate; and Adjustment to reflect share of EBITDAre of partially owned entities. NAREIT EBITDAre is a measure commonly used in our industry, and we present NAREIT EBITDAre to enhance investor understanding of our operating performance. We believe that NAREIT EBITDAre provides investors and analysts with a measure of operating results unaffected by differences in capital structures, capital investment cycles and useful life of related assets among otherwise comparable companies. |
We also calculate our Core EBITDA as NAREIT EBITDAre further adjusted for Acquisition, cyber incident, and other, net; Loss from investments in partially owned entities; Foreign currency exchange loss; Stock-based compensation expense; Loss on debt extinguishment and termination of derivative instruments; Loss on other asset disposals; Gain on legal settlement related to prior period operations; Project Orion deferred costs amortization; and Reduction in EBITDAre from partially owned entities. We believe that the presentation of Core EBITDA provides a measurement of our operations that is meaningful to investors because it excludes the effects of certain items that are otherwise included in NAREIT EBITDAre but which we do not believe are indicative of our core business operations. We calculate Core EBITDA margin as Core EBITDA divided by revenues. NAREIT EBITDAre and Core EBITDA are not measurements of financial performance or liquidity under U.S. GAAP, and our NAREIT EBITDAre and Core EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. You should not consider our NAREIT EBITDAre and Core EBITDA as alternatives to net income or cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our calculations of NAREIT EBITDAre and Core EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, including: |
•these measures do not reflect our historical or future cash requirements for maintenance capital expenditures or growth and expansion capital expenditures; •these measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; •these measures do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our indebtedness; •these measures do not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes; and •although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated will often have to be replaced in the future and these measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements. |

Net debt to proforma Core EBITDA is calculated using total debt outstanding less cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash divided by pro-forma and/or Core EBITDA. If applicable, we calculate pro-forma Core EBITDA as Core EBITDA further adjusted for acquisitions. The pro-forma adjustment for acquisitions reflects the Core EBITDA for the period of time prior to acquisition. |
NOI is calculated as earnings/loss before interest expense, taxes, Depreciation and amortization, and excluding corporate Selling, general, and administrative expense; Acquisition, cyber incident, and other, net; Impairment of indefinite and long-lived assets; Net gain from sale of real estate and all components of non-operating other income and expense. Management believes that this is a helpful metric to measure period to period operating performance of the business. |
We define our “same store” population once annually at the beginning of the current calendar year. Our population includes properties owned or leased for the entirety of two comparable periods with at least twelve consecutive months of normalized operations prior to January 1 of the current calendar year. We define “normalized operations” as properties that have been open for operation or lease, after development, expansion, or significant modification (e.g., rehabilitation subsequent to a natural disaster). Acquired properties are included in the “same store” population if owned by us as of the first business day of the prior calendar year (e.g. January 1, 2024) and are still owned by us as of the end of the current reporting period, unless the property is under development. The “same store” pool is also adjusted to remove properties that are being exited (e.g. non-renewal of warehouse lease or held for sale to third parties), were sold, or entered development subsequent to the beginning of the current calendar year. Changes in ownership structure (e.g., purchase of a previously leased warehouse) does not result in a facility being excluded from the same store population, as management believes that actively managing its real estate is normal course of operations. Additionally, management classifies new developments (both conventional and automated facilities) as a component of the same store pool once the facility is considered fully operational and both inbounding and outbounding product for at least twelve consecutive months prior to January 1 of the current calendar year. |
We calculate “same store revenues” as revenues for the same store population. We calculate “same store contribution (NOI)” as revenues for the same store population less its cost of operations (excluding any Depreciation and amortization, Impairment of indefinite and long-lived assets, Selling, general, and administrative, Acquisition, cyber incident, and other, net and Net gain from sale of real estate). In order to derive an appropriate measure of period-to-period operating performance, we also calculate our same store contribution (NOI) on a constant currency basis to remove the effects of foreign currency exchange rate movements by using the comparable prior period exchange rate to translate from local currency into U.S. dollars for both periods. We evaluate the performance of the warehouses we own or lease using a “same store” analysis, and we believe that same store contribution (NOI) is helpful to investors as a supplemental performance measure because it includes the operating performance from the population of properties that is consistent from period to period and also on a constant currency basis, thereby eliminating the effects of changes in the composition of our warehouse portfolio and currency fluctuations on performance measures. Same store contribution (NOI) is not a measurement of financial performance under U.S. GAAP. In addition, other companies providing temperature-controlled warehouse storage and handling and other warehouse services may not define same store or calculate same store contribution (NOI) in a manner consistent with our definition or calculation. Same store contribution (NOI) should be considered as a supplement, but not as an alternative, to our results calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. |
We define “maintenance capital expenditures” as capital expenditures made to extend the life of, and provide future economic benefit from, our existing temperature-controlled warehouse network and its existing supporting personal property and information technology. Maintenance capital expenditures do not include acquisition costs contemplated when underwriting the purchase of a building or costs which are incurred to bring a building up to Americold’s operating standards. |
All quarterly amounts and non-GAAP disclosures within this filing shall be deemed unaudited. |
