Launched Three Innovative and Demand-Driven Development Projects
Delivered $0.36 AFFO per share
Updated 2025 Full-Year Outlook
ATLANTA, GA., Aug. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 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 second quarter ended June 30, 2025.
George Chappelle, Chief Executive Officer of Americold Realty Trust, said, “Our team continues to execute well in the current market, despite the impacts from multiple headwinds that are constraining occupancy levels across the industry. During the second quarter we made strong progress on our four key operational priorities and won new business, while continuing to manage the business tightly. As a result, the first half of the year has largely been in-line with expectations, demonstrating the resilience and breadth of our various operating levers.”
“We continue to position the Company for future growth. Specifically, we launched three innovative and demand-driven projects during the second quarter – our development in Kansas City in partnership with CPKC, our expansion in Allentown, and finally our state-of-the-art flagship build with DP World in the Port of Jebel Ali in Dubai. All three of these facilities are seeing strong customer demand, and we look forward to their financial contributions for years to come.”
“Looking to the second half of the year, we expect the challenging demand environment to continue, with occupancy and throughput levels remaining below typical seasonality trends. As a result of these headwinds, we are adjusting our AFFO/share guidance range to $1.39 - $1.45. We remain focused on controlling what we can control, including lowering costs, improving efficiencies and capturing new business opportunities. Longer term, cold storage remains a mission-critical asset, and we believe that the breadth and magnitude of our network, in combination with our history of operational excellence positions us to maximize growth as industry volumes improve. I want to thank our associates around the world who continue to deliver for our customers, and I am looking forward to the future that we will help create.”

Second Quarter 2025 Total Company Financial Results
Total revenues for the second quarter of 2025 were $650.7 million, a 1.5% decrease from $661.0 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 second quarter of 2025 was $211.7 million, a decrease of 1.8% (1.7% decrease on a constant currency basis) from the same quarter of the prior year. This decrease is primarily related to a decrease in warehouse segment NOI which was primarily due to lower volumes.
For the second quarter of 2025, the Company reported net income of $1.6 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $64.4 million, or a net loss of $0.23 per diluted share, for the comparable quarter of the prior year. This was primarily driven by the Loss on debt extinguishment and termination of derivative instruments recognized during the second quarter of 2024 of $110.7 million offset by increased Acquisition, cyber incident, and other, net costs and Selling, general, and administrative costs during the second quarter of 2025.
Core EBITDA was $159.1 million for the second quarter of 2025, compared to $165.5 million for the comparable quarter of the prior year. This decrease (3.9% on an actual basis and 3.8% on a constant currency basis) was primarily driven by lower volumes in the warehouse segment and an increase in Selling, general, and administrative costs, primarily due to increased costs associated with the go-live of Project Orion in North America and Asia Pacific.
For the second quarter of 2025, Core FFO was $75.8 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, compared to $95.0 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2024.
For the second quarter of 2025, Adjusted FFO was $103.6 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, compared to $109.4 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2024.

Warehouse Results
For the second quarter of 2025, Global Warehouse segment revenues were $594.1 million, a decrease of $6.3 million, or 1.1% (1.0% decrease on a constant currency basis), compared to $600.4 million for the second quarter of 2024. This decrease was principally driven by lower volumes and throughput pallets due to a competitive environment, the lapping of a counter cyclical inventory build in the prior year, changes in consumer buying habits, and the related change in food production levels, partially offset by annual rate increases in the normal course of operations.
Global Warehouse segment contribution (NOI) was $201.0 million for the second quarter of 2025 as compared to $204.5 million for the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of $3.5 million, or a decrease of 1.7% on an actual and constant currency basis. Global Warehouse segment contribution (NOI) decreased primarily due to the factors noted above. Global Warehouse segment margin was 33.8% for the second quarter of 2025, a 30 basis point decrease compared to the second quarter of 2024, driven by lower volumes.
Fixed Commitment Rent and Storage Revenues
As of June 30, 2025, $617.4 million of the Company’s annualized rent and storage revenues were derived from customers with fixed commitment rent and storage contracts compared to $629.3 million at the end of the first quarter of 2025 and $618.0 million at the end of the second quarter of 2024. On a combined basis, 59.7% of rent and storage revenues were generated from fixed commitment storage contracts or leases. On a combined basis, 61.4% 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 second quarter of 2025, economic occupancy for the total warehouse segment was 73.8% and the warehouse segment same store pool was 75.5%, representing a 1,100 and 1,110 basis point increase above physical occupancy, respectively. Economic occupancy for the total warehouse segment decreased 430 basis points, and the warehouse segment same store pool decreased 410 basis points as compared to the second quarter of 2024. This was primarily due to lower overall volumes due to a competitive environment, the lapping of a counter cyclical inventory build in the prior year, changes in consumer buying habits, and the related change in food production levels which are primarily caused by growing consumer conservatism amid ongoing regulatory shifts.
Real Estate Portfolio
As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s portfolio consists of 237 facilities. The Company ended the second quarter of 2025 with 234 facilities in its Global Warehouse segment portfolio and 3 facilities in its Third-party managed segment. The same store population consists of 223 facilities for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, the non-same store facility count consists of: 6 facilities where the executive leadership team has approved exits in the current year (4 of which are leased facilities and 2 of which are owned facilities and the Company is in pursuit to sell), 4 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 June 30, 2025, there are 4 sites in the development and expansion phase.
Balance Sheet Activity and Liquidity
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had total liquidity of approximately $937.0 million, including cash and available capacity on its revolving credit facility. Total net debt outstanding was approximately $3.9 billion (inclusive of approximately $193.2 million of financing leases/sale lease-backs and exclusive of unamortized deferred financing fees), of which 95.2% was in an unsecured structure. At quarter end, net debt to pro forma Core EBITDA (based on trailing twelve months Core EBITDA) was approximately 6.3x. The Company’s unsecured debt has a remaining weighted average term of 4.9 years, inclusive of extensions that the Company is expected to utilize, and carries a weighted average contractual interest rate of 4.0%. As of June 30, 2025, approximately 92.7% of the Company’s total debt outstanding was at a fixed rate, inclusive of hedged variable-rate for fixed-rate debt.
Dividend
On May 20, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a 5% increase in the dividend, as compared to the prior year, to $0.23 per share for the second quarter of 2025, which was paid on July 15, 2025 to common stockholders of record as of June 30, 2025.

Non-GAAP Measures
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. Definitions of these non-GAAP metrics are included in our quarterly financial supplement, and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their most comparable US GAAP metrics are included herein. Each of the non-GAAP measures included in this press release has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of the Company’s results calculated in accordance with GAAP.

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 gain on sale of non-real assets; Acquisition, cyber incident, and other, net; Impairment of long-lived assets (excluding certain real estate assets); Loss on debt extinguishment and termination of derivative instruments; Foreign currency exchange (gain) loss; Gain on legal settlement related to prior period operations; Project Orion deferred costs amortization; Our share of reconciling items related to partially owned entities; and Gain from sale of partially owned entity. 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 (benefit); 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 income (loss), 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 income (loss) before Depreciation and amortization; Interest expense; Income tax expense (benefit); 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; Impairment of long-lived assets; Foreign currency exchange (gain) 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; Reduction in EBITDAre from partially owned entities; and Gain from sale of partially owned entity. 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: |
|
| 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 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 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. |
