Exhibit 99.1
AMERICOLD ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2023 RESULTS
Delivers Double-Digit AFFO per Share Growth for Full Year 2023

Achieves Record Setting Same-Store Economic Occupancy and Fixed Commitments in Full Year 2023
Delivers Strong Same-Store Warehouse Services NOI margins in Fourth Quarter 2023
Announces Two Inaugural Developments with Canadian Pacific and DP World Strategic Partnerships

Atlanta, GA, February 22, 2024 - 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 fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023.

George Chappelle, Chief Executive Officer of Americold Realty Trust, stated, “We are pleased with our fourth quarter results where we delivered AFFO per share of $0.38, an increase of over 31% versus the prior year’s quarter. This performance was driven by our global warehouse same store pool, which generated NOI growth of 7.9%, on a constant currency basis. Our strong same-store pool results were driven by our pricing initiatives, record-setting fixed commit levels, aggressive variable cost management, and improved Warehouse Services efficiencies. In the face of a challenging throughput environment, we continued to accelerate our progress and delivered Warehouse Services margins of 6.1% during the fourth quarter of 2023, which is a 330 basis point improvement versus the third quarter of 2023. Additionally, this quarter, we derived 52.2% of rent and storage revenue from fixed commitment storage contracts, which is another record-setting level for Americold.”

“For the full year, we delivered AFFO per share of $1.27, an increase of 14% versus the prior year. When further adjusted for the impact of the cyber event in the second quarter of 2023 and the exit of a large retail customer in our third-party managed business in the fourth quarter 2022, this year over year AFFO per share growth rate would have been 19%. This performance was primarily driven by our global warehouse same store pool, which generated NOI growth of 12.8%, on a constant currency basis. Additionally, our 2023 full year same store economic occupancy was 84.3%, which is a full year record for Americold, and was almost 400 basis points higher than our previous record, which demonstrates that our infrastructure and value-added services continue to remain in high demand.”

“Lastly, we are excited to announce an approximately $130 million greenfield development in Kansas City, Missouri, as part of our collaboration with Canadian Pacific Kansas City, one of North America's largest railroad companies. Additionally, in the fourth quarter, we announced our plans through our RSA JV to build a conventional, multi-customer major market distribution center in Dubai at DP World's Port Jebel Ali Free Zone for $35 million. As we move into 2024, we look forward to progressing on these new developments. These partnerships with CPKC and DP World illustrate Americold's unique ability to create value by collaborating with global leaders in adjacent areas of the supply chain.”

Fourth Quarter 2023 Total Company Financial Results
Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $679.3 million, a 5.9% decrease, which was driven by decreases in our Third-party managed and Transportation segments, largely offset by growth within our Global Warehouse segment. The growth within our Global Warehouse segment was driven by incremental revenue from recently completed expansion and development projects, our



pricing initiatives and rate escalations, partially offset by a decline in throughput due to consumer buying habits, and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation.
Total NOI for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $209.8 million, an increase of 11.5% from the same quarter of the prior year. This increase is a result of the improvement in our Global Warehouse segment revenue as previously mentioned, paired with strong variable cost control driving higher warehouse services margins despite the challenging throughput environment.
For the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company reported net loss of $226.8 million, or $0.80 loss per diluted share, compared to net income of $3.0 million, or $0.01 earnings per diluted share, for the comparable quarter of the prior year.
Core EBITDA was $160.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $136.8 million for the comparable quarter of the prior year. This reflects a 17.1% increase over prior year on an actual basis, and 17.6% on a constant currency basis. The increase is due to the same factors driving the increase in NOI mentioned above, as well as a slight reduction in SG&A costs.
For the fourth quarter of 2023, Core FFO was $84.8 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, compared to $70.2 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2022.
For the fourth quarter of 2023, AFFO was $108.0 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, compared to $78.2 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, for the same quarter of the prior year.
Please see the Company’s supplemental financial information for the definitions and reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures.
Fourth Quarter 2023 Global Warehouse Segment Results
For the fourth quarter of 2023, Global Warehouse segment revenue was $612.3 million, an increase of $13.6 million, or 2.3%, compared to $598.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. This growth was principally driven by recently completed development projects and acquisitions. Additionally, our same-store pool contributed growth resulting from our pricing initiatives and rate escalations. This was partially offset by lower throughput pallets due to consumer buying habits and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation.
Global Warehouse segment contribution (NOI) was $197.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 as compared to $172.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, an increase of $24.8 million or 14.4%. Global Warehouse segment contribution (NOI) increased due to the drivers of warehouse revenue increase mentioned above. Global Warehouse segment margin was 32.2% for the fourth quarter of 2023, a 341 basis point increase compared to the same quarter of the prior year, driven by improvement in our warehouse services margin.
We had 219 same store warehouses for the three months and year ended December 31, 2023. The following table presents revenues, contribution (NOI) and margins for our same store and non-same store warehouses with a reconciliation to the total financial metrics of our warehouse segment for the three months and year ended December 31, 2023.

Fixed Commitment Rent and Storage Revenue
As of December 31, 2023, $576.8 million of the Company’s annualized rent and storage revenue were derived from customers with fixed commitment storage contracts. This compares to $550.7 million at the end of the third quarter of 2023 and $419.5 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2022. We continue to make progress on commercializing business under this type of arrangement. On a combined pro forma basis, assuming a full twelve months of acquisitions revenue, 52.2% of rent and storage revenue was generated from fixed commitment storage contracts.

Economic and Physical Occupancy
Contracts that contain fixed commitments are designed to ensure the Company’s customers have space available when needed. For the fourth quarter of 2023, economic occupancy for the total warehouse segment was 82.7% and warehouse segment same store pool was 83.7%, representing a 910 basis point and 921 basis point increase above physical occupancy, respectively. Economic occupancy for the total warehouse segment decreased 112 basis points, and the warehouse segment same store pool decreased 53 basis points as compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. The reduction in occupancy reflects the ramp in manufacturer production during the fourth quarter of 2022 as labor improved, which did not recur in 2023.




Real Estate Portfolio
As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s portfolio consists of 245 facilities. The Company ended the fourth quarter of 2023 with 240 facilities in its Global Warehouse segment portfolio and five facilities in its Third-party managed segment. The same store population consists of 219 facilities for the quarter ended December 31, 2023. The remaining 21 non-same store population consists of: three sites acquired through acquisition, 12 sites in the expansion and development phase, three leased sites that we purchased, one temporarily leased facility in Australia, one leased facility we ceased operations during fourth quarter of 2022 in anticipation of the upcoming lease maturity, and one leased site we exited in preparation to lease to a third party.

Balance Sheet Activity and Liquidity
As of December 31, 2023, the Company had total liquidity of approximately $797.4 million, including cash and capacity on its revolving credit facility. Total debt outstanding was $3.2 billion (inclusive of $259.1 million of financing leases/sale lease-backs and exclusive of unamortized deferred financing fees), of which 92% was in an unsecured structure. At quarter end, net debt to pro forma Core EBITDA was approximately 5.6x. The Company’s total debt outstanding includes $3.0 billion of real estate debt, which excludes sale-leaseback and financing lease obligations. The Company’s real estate debt has a remaining weighted average term of 5.3 years and carries a weighted average contractual interest rate of 3.8%. As of December 31, 2023, 88% 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.

Dividend

Factors that could contribute to these differences include the following: rising inflationary pressures, increased interest rates and operating costs; labor and power costs; labor shortages; our relationship with our associates, the occurrence of any work stoppages or any disputes under our collective bargaining agreements and employment related litigation; the impact of supply chain disruptions; risks related to rising construction costs; risks related to expansions of existing properties and developments of new properties, including failure to meet budgeted or stabilized returns within expected time frames, or at all, in respect thereof; uncertainty of revenues, given the nature of our customer contracts; acquisition risks, including the failure to identify or complete attractive acquisitions or failure to realize the intended benefits from our recent acquisitions; difficulties in expanding our operations into new markets; uncertainties and risks related to public health crises; a failure of our information technology systems, systems conversions and integrations, cybersecurity attacks or a breach of our information security systems, networks or processes, including those related to the cyber matter which occurred on April 26, 2023; risks related to implementation of the new ERP system, defaults or non-renewals of significant customer contracts; risks related to privacy and data security concerns, and data collection and transfer restrictions and related foreign regulations; changes in applicable governmental regulations and tax legislation; risks related to current and potential international operations and properties; actions by our competitors and their increasing ability to compete with us; changes in foreign currency exchange rates; the potential liabilities, costs and regulatory impacts associated with our in-house trucking services and the potential disruptions associated with our use of third-party trucking service providers to provide transportation services to our customers; liabilities as a result of our participation in multi-employer pension plans; risks related to

We view and manage our business through three primary business segments—warehouse, transportation, 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, EBITDAre, Core EBITDA, net debt to pro-forma Core EBITDA and segment contribution (‘NOI”).
We calculate funds from operations, or 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 charge on real estate related assets and our share of reconciling items for partially owned entities. We believe that FFO is helpful to investors as a supplemental performance measure because it excludes the effect of depreciation, amortization and gains or losses from sales of real estate, 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, 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 gain or loss on the sale of non-real estate assets, acquisition, cyber incident and other, net, goodwill impairment (when applicable), loss on debt extinguishment, modifications and termination of derivative instruments, foreign currency exchange (gain) loss, gain on legal settlement related to prior period operations, gain or loss from discontinued operations net of tax, impairment of related party receivable, loss on fair put option, gain on extinguishment of New Market Tax Credit structure, loss on deconsolidation of subsidiary contributed to LATAM joint venture, and gain from sale of LATAM joint venture. We also adjust for the impact of Core FFO on our share of reconciling items for partially owned entities, and gain from disposition of 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 as a measure 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 above or below market leases, non-real estate asset impairment, straight-line net rent, benefit from deferred income taxes, stock-based compensation expense, non-real estate depreciation and amortization and maintenance capital expenditures. We also adjust for AFFO attributable to our share of reconciling items of partially owned entities and discontinued operations. 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.
FFO, Core FFO and Adjusted FFO are used by management, investors and industry analysts as supplemental measures of operating performance of equity REITs. 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. 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. 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 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. The table above reconciles 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 EBITDA for Real Estate, or EBITDAre, in accordance with the standards established by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, defined as, earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, net gain on sale of real estate, net of withholding taxes, and adjustment to reflect share of EBITDAre of partially owned entities. EBITDAre is a measure commonly used in our industry, and we present EBITDAre to enhance investor understanding of our operating performance. We believe that 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 EBITDAre further adjusted for acquisition, cyber and other, net, loss from investments in partially owned entities, impairment of indefinite and long-lived assets (when applicable), foreign currency exchange loss or gain, stock-based compensation expense, loss on debt extinguishment, modifications and termination of derivative instruments, net gain on other asset disposals, reduction in EBITDAre from partially owned entities, discontinued operations, impairment of related party loan receivable, loss on fair value of put, gain on extinguishment of new market tax credit structure, and loss on deconsolidation of subsidiary contributed to LATAM joint venture.. 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 EBITDAre but which we do not believe are indicative of our core business operations. EBITDAre and Core EBITDA are not measurements of financial performance under U.S. GAAP, and our EBITDAre and Core EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. You should not consider our 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 EBITDAre and Core EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, including:
NOI is calculated as earnings 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; gain or loss on 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.
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.



We use Core EBITDA and EBITDAre as measures of our operating performance and not as measures of liquidity. The table on page 21 of our financial supplement reconciles EBITDA, EBITDAre and Core EBITDA to net income, which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Net debt to proforma Core EBITDA is calculated using total debt, plus capital lease obligations, less cash and cash equivalents, divided by pro-forma Core EBITDA. We calculate pro-forma Core EBITDA as Core EBITDA further adjusted for acquisitions, dispositions and for rent expense associated with lease buy-outs and lease exits. The pro-forma adjustment for acquisitions reflects the Core EBITDA for the period of time prior to acquisition. The pro-forma adjustment for leased facilities exited or purchased reflects the add-back for the related lease expense from the last year. The pro-forma adjustment for dispositions reduces Core EBITDA for the earnings of facilities disposed of or exited during the year, including the strategic exit of certain third-party managed 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 or significant modification (e.g., expansion or 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, 2022) 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 were sold or entered development subsequent to the beginning of the current calendar year. Beginning January of 2024, changes in ownership structure (e.g., purchase of a previously leased warehouse) will no longer 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 will begin to classify 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 revenue” 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 charges, corporate-level selling, general and administrative expenses, corporate-level acquisition, cyber incident and other, net and gain or loss on 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. The tables beginning on page 33 of our financial supplement provide reconciliations for same store revenues and same store contribution (NOI).
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 include 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. See the tables on page 30 of our financial supplement for additional information regarding our maintenance capital expenditures.
We define “total real estate debt” as the aggregate of the following: mortgage notes, senior unsecured notes, term loans and borrowings under our revolving line of credit. We define “total debt outstanding” as the aggregate of the following: total real estate debt, sale-leaseback financing obligations and financing lease obligations. See the tables on page 23 of our financial supplement for additional information regarding our indebtedness.
All quarterly amounts and non-GAAP disclosures within this filing shall be deemed unaudited.

AMERICOLD ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2023 RESULTS
Delivers Double-Digit AFFO per Share Growth for Full Year 2023

Achieves Record Setting Same-Store Economic Occupancy and Fixed Commitments in Full Year 2023
Delivers Strong Same-Store Warehouse Services NOI margins in Fourth Quarter 2023
Announces Two Inaugural Developments with Canadian Pacific and DP World Strategic Partnerships

Atlanta, GA, February 22, 2024 - 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 fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023.

George Chappelle, Chief Executive Officer of Americold Realty Trust, stated, “We are pleased with our fourth quarter results where we delivered AFFO per share of $0.38, an increase of over 31% versus the prior year’s quarter. This performance was driven by our global warehouse same store pool, which generated NOI growth of 7.9%, on a constant currency basis. Our strong same-store pool results were driven by our pricing initiatives, record-setting fixed commit levels, aggressive variable cost management, and improved Warehouse Services efficiencies. In the face of a challenging throughput environment, we continued to accelerate our progress and delivered Warehouse Services margins of 6.1% during the fourth quarter of 2023, which is a 330 basis point improvement versus the third quarter of 2023. Additionally, this quarter, we derived 52.2% of rent and storage revenue from fixed commitment storage contracts, which is another record-setting level for Americold.”

“For the full year, we delivered AFFO per share of $1.27, an increase of 14% versus the prior year. When further adjusted for the impact of the cyber event in the second quarter of 2023 and the exit of a large retail customer in our third-party managed business in the fourth quarter 2022, this year over year AFFO per share growth rate would have been 19%. This performance was primarily driven by our global warehouse same store pool, which generated NOI growth of 12.8%, on a constant currency basis. Additionally, our 2023 full year same store economic occupancy was 84.3%, which is a full year record for Americold, and was almost 400 basis points higher than our previous record, which demonstrates that our infrastructure and value-added services continue to remain in high demand.”

“Lastly, we are excited to announce an approximately $130 million greenfield development in Kansas City, Missouri, as part of our collaboration with Canadian Pacific Kansas City, one of North America's largest railroad companies. Additionally, in the fourth quarter, we announced our plans through our RSA JV to build a conventional, multi-customer major market distribution center in Dubai at DP World's Port Jebel Ali Free Zone for $35 million. As we move into 2024, we look forward to progressing on these new developments. These partnerships with CPKC and DP World illustrate Americold's unique ability to create value by collaborating with global leaders in adjacent areas of the supply chain.”

Fourth Quarter 2023 Total Company Financial Results
Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $679.3 million, a 5.9% decrease, which was driven by decreases in our Third-party managed and Transportation segments, largely offset by growth within our Global Warehouse segment. The growth within our Global Warehouse segment was driven by incremental revenue from recently completed expansion and development projects, our

pricing initiatives and rate escalations, partially offset by a decline in throughput due to consumer buying habits, and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation.
Total NOI for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $209.8 million, an increase of 11.5% from the same quarter of the prior year. This increase is a result of the improvement in our Global Warehouse segment revenue as previously mentioned, paired with strong variable cost control driving higher warehouse services margins despite the challenging throughput environment.
For the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company reported net loss of $226.8 million, or $0.80 loss per diluted share, compared to net income of $3.0 million, or $0.01 earnings per diluted share, for the comparable quarter of the prior year.
Core EBITDA was $160.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $136.8 million for the comparable quarter of the prior year. This reflects a 17.1% increase over prior year on an actual basis, and 17.6% on a constant currency basis. The increase is due to the same factors driving the increase in NOI mentioned above, as well as a slight reduction in SG&A costs.
For the fourth quarter of 2023, Core FFO was $84.8 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, compared to $70.2 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2022.
For the fourth quarter of 2023, AFFO was $108.0 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, compared to $78.2 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, for the same quarter of the prior year.

For the fourth quarter of 2023, Global Warehouse segment revenue was $612.3 million, an increase of $13.6 million, or 2.3%, compared to $598.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2022. This growth was principally driven by recently completed development projects and acquisitions. Additionally, our same-store pool contributed growth resulting from our pricing initiatives and rate escalations. This was partially offset by lower throughput pallets due to consumer buying habits and the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation.
Global Warehouse segment contribution (NOI) was $197.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 as compared to $172.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2022, an increase of $24.8 million or 14.4%. Global Warehouse segment contribution (NOI) increased due to the drivers of warehouse revenue increase mentioned above. Global Warehouse segment margin was 32.2% for the fourth quarter of 2023, a 341 basis point increase compared to the same quarter of the prior year, driven by improvement in our warehouse services margin.
We had 219 same store warehouses for the three months and year ended December 31, 2023. The following table presents revenues, contribution (NOI) and margins for our same store and non-same store warehouses with a reconciliation to the total financial metrics of our warehouse segment for the three months and year ended December 31, 2023.

Fixed Commitment Rent and Storage Revenue
As of December 31, 2023, $576.8 million of the Company’s annualized rent and storage revenue were derived from customers with fixed commitment storage contracts. This compares to $550.7 million at the end of the third quarter of 2023 and $419.5 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2022. We continue to make progress on commercializing business under this type of arrangement. On a combined pro forma basis, assuming a full twelve months of acquisitions revenue, 52.2% of rent and storage revenue was generated from fixed commitment storage contracts.

Economic and Physical Occupancy
Contracts that contain fixed commitments are designed to ensure the Company’s customers have space available when needed. For the fourth quarter of 2023, economic occupancy for the total warehouse segment was 82.7% and warehouse segment same store pool was 83.7%, representing a 910 basis point and 921 basis point increase above physical occupancy, respectively. Economic occupancy for the total warehouse segment decreased 112 basis points, and the warehouse segment same store pool decreased 53 basis points as compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. The reduction in occupancy reflects the ramp in manufacturer production during the fourth quarter of 2022 as labor improved, which did not recur in 2023.

We view and manage our business through three primary business segments—warehouse, transportation, 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.

Global Warehouse Economic and Physical Occupancy Trend
chart-9a59624a6adf4525a8ca.jpg
FYQ1Q2Q3Q4

Note: Dotted lines represent incremental economic occupancy percentage.

We define average economic occupancy as the aggregate number of physically occupied pallets and any additional pallets otherwise contractually committed for a given period, without duplication. We estimate the number of contractually committed pallet positions by taking into account actual pallet commitments specified in each customer’s contract, and subtracting the physical pallet positions.
We define average physical occupancy as the average number of occupied pallets divided by the estimated number of average physical pallet positions in our warehouses for the applicable period. We estimate the number of physical pallet positions by taking into account actual racked space and by estimating unracked space on an as-if racked basis. We base this estimate on the total cubic feet of each room within the warehouse that is unracked divided by the volume of an assumed rack space that is consistent with the characteristics of the relevant warehouse. On a warehouse by warehouse basis, rack space generally ranges from three to four feet depending upon the type of facility and the nature of the customer goods stored therein. The number of our pallet positions is reviewed and updated quarterly, taking into account changes in racking configurations and room utilization.
Historically, providers of temperature-controlled warehouse space have offered storage services to customers on an as-utilized, on-demand basis. We have entered into fixed storage commitments with certain customers which give us, among other things, additional clarity around the expected occupancy of our warehouses. As of December 31, 2023, we had entered into contracts featuring fixed storage commitments or leases with 290 of our customers in our warehouse segment. Customers with fixed storage provisions commit to occupy a certain number of pallets at a designated storage rate for the applicable portion of their contractual term, whether the customer elects to physically store goods in a warehouse or not. As a result, certain pallets in our warehouses may generate storage revenue pursuant to fixed storage commitments despite not being physically occupied. To the extent that a customer with a fixed storage provision elects not to utilize all of its committed pallets in a particular warehouse, we have the flexibility to deploy those pallets to facilitate shorter-term customers that desire space on an as-utilized, on demand basis.

(1)We define average economic occupancy as the aggregate number of physically occupied pallets and any additional pallets otherwise contractually committed for a given period, without duplication. We estimate the number of contractually committed pallet positions by taking into account actual pallet commitments specified in each customer’s contract, and subtracting the physical pallet positions.
(2)We define average physical occupancy as the average number of occupied pallets divided by the estimated number of average physical pallet positions in our warehouses for the applicable period. We estimate the number of physical pallet positions by taking into account actual racked space and by estimating unracked space on an as-if racked basis. We base this estimate on a formula utilizing the total cubic feet of each room within the warehouse that is unracked divided by the volume of an assumed rack space that is consistent with the characteristics of the relevant warehouse. On a warehouse by warehouse basis, rack space generally ranges from three to four feet depending upon the type of facility and the nature of the customer goods stored therein. The number of our pallet positions is reviewed and updated quarterly, taking into account changes in racking configurations and room utilization.
(3)The non-same store facility count of 21 consists of: three sites acquired through acquisition, 12 sites in the expansion and development phase, three leased sites that we purchased, one temporarily leased facility in Australia, one leased facility we ceased operations during fourth quarter of 2022 in anticipation of the upcoming lease maturity, and one leased site we exited in preparation to lease to a third party.

2024 Same-store Historical Performance Trend - The following table reflects the actual results of our 2024 same store pool, in USD, for the respective periods.
Beginning January of 2024, changes in ownership structure will no longer 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 will begin to classify 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.

Notes and Definitions
We use the following non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental performance measures of our business: NAREIT FFO, Core FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDAre, Core EBITDA, net debt to pro-forma Core EBITDA and segment contribution (‘NOI”).
We calculate funds from operations, or 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 charge on real estate related assets and our share of reconciling items for partially owned entities. We believe that FFO is helpful to investors as a supplemental performance measure because it excludes the effect of depreciation, amortization and gains or losses from sales of real estate, 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, 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 gain or loss on the sale of non-real estate assets, acquisition, cyber incident and other, net, goodwill impairment (when applicable), loss on debt extinguishment, modifications and termination of derivative instruments, foreign currency exchange (gain) loss, gain on legal settlement related to prior period operations, gain or loss from discontinued operations net of tax, impairment of related party receivable, loss on fair put option, gain on extinguishment of New Market Tax Credit structure, loss on deconsolidation of subsidiary contributed to LATAM joint venture, and gain from sale of LATAM joint venture. We also adjust for the impact of Core FFO on our share of reconciling items for partially owned entities, and gain from disposition of 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 as a measure 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 above or below market leases, non-real estate asset impairment, straight-line net rent, benefit from deferred income taxes, stock-based compensation expense, non-real estate depreciation and amortization and maintenance capital expenditures. We also adjust for AFFO attributable to our share of reconciling items of partially owned entities and discontinued operations. 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.
FFO, Core FFO and Adjusted FFO are used by management, investors and industry analysts as supplemental measures of operating performance of equity REITs. 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. 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. 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 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. The table above reconciles 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 EBITDA for Real Estate, or EBITDAre, in accordance with the standards established by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, defined as, earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, net gain on sale of real estate, net of withholding taxes, and adjustment to reflect share of EBITDAre of partially owned entities. EBITDAre is a measure commonly used in our industry, and we present EBITDAre to enhance investor understanding of our operating performance. We believe that 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 EBITDAre further adjusted for acquisition, cyber and other, net, loss from investments in partially owned entities, impairment of indefinite and long-lived assets (when applicable), foreign currency exchange loss or gain, stock-based compensation expense, loss on debt extinguishment, modifications and termination of derivative instruments, net gain on other asset disposals, reduction in EBITDAre from partially owned entities, discontinued operations, impairment of related party loan receivable, loss on fair value of put, gain on extinguishment of new market tax credit structure, and loss on deconsolidation of subsidiary contributed to LATAM joint venture.. 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 EBITDAre but which we do not believe are indicative of our core business operations. EBITDAre and Core EBITDA are not measurements of financial performance under U.S. GAAP, and our EBITDAre and Core EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. You should not consider our 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 EBITDAre and Core EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, including:
NOI is calculated as earnings 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; gain or loss on 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.
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.

We use Core EBITDA and EBITDAre as measures of our operating performance and not as measures of liquidity. The table on page 21 reconciles EBITDA, EBITDAre and Core EBITDA to net income, which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Net debt to proforma Core EBITDA is calculated using total debt, plus capital lease obligations, less cash and cash equivalents, divided by pro-forma Core EBITDA. We calculate pro-forma Core EBITDA as Core EBITDA further adjusted for acquisitions, dispositions and for rent expense associated with lease buy-outs and lease exits. The pro-forma adjustment for acquisitions reflects the Core EBITDA for the period of time prior to acquisition. The pro-forma adjustment for leased facilities exited or purchased reflects the add-back for the related lease expense from the last year. The pro-forma adjustment for dispositions reduces Core EBITDA for the earnings of facilities disposed of or exited during the year, including the strategic exit of certain third-party managed 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 or significant modification (e.g., expansion or 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, 2022) 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 were sold or entered development subsequent to the beginning of the current calendar year. Beginning January of 2024, changes in ownership structure (e.g., purchase of a previously leased warehouse) will no longer 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 will begin to classify 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 revenue” 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 charges, corporate-level selling, general and administrative expenses, corporate-level acquisition, cyber incident and other, net and gain or loss on 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. The tables beginning on page 33 provide reconciliations for same store revenues and same store contribution (NOI).
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.
