Introduces 2026 Key Priorities to Support Future Growth
ATLANTA, Feb. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Americold Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: COLD) (the “Company”), is the global leader in temperature-controlled logistics, ensuring safe, efficient food movement worldwide, today announced financial and operating results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025.
Rob Chambers, Chief Executive Officer of Americold Realty Trust, stated, “Americold delivered solid fourth‑quarter AFFO per share of $0.38, slightly ahead of expectations in what remains a challenging backdrop across the cold storage industry. Our teams continue to execute well, improving operational performance, advancing our commercial strategy, and delivering on key development milestones around the globe. During the year we expanded our services margin and achieved our long-term 60% target for fixed commitment contracts, while winning new business with some of the world’s most important food producers and retailers. I am proud of how the organization has remained focused on delivering our commitments as we build a stronger foundation for the years ahead.”
“Entering 2026, we have developed a list of key priorities that are designed to position Americold for long‑term future growth. These include taking disciplined steps to strengthen our balance sheet, enhance the profitability of our global real estate portfolio, and focus our capital on customer‑driven development opportunities. At the same time, we are expanding our presence in high‑value retail and store‑support solutions, while broadening our commercial aperture to pursue opportunities in new and adjacent sectors. Our cost‑reduction initiatives are well underway and will help us navigate the ongoing headwinds while we execute against these priorities. With the upcoming addition of Chris Papa as our Chief Financial Officer, we are further bolstering our capabilities as we advance this next phase of our strategy.”
“In this complex environment, we are taking a prudent approach to our 2026 outlook and expect AFFO of $1.20 to $1.30 per share. I believe the actions we are taking behind our key priorities will meaningfully strengthen our company and enhance our long‑term earnings power. Americold’s mission-critical assets, operational excellence, and deep customer relationships continue to differentiate us in the marketplace, and we remain confident in our ability to create sustained value for our shareholders.”

Fourth Quarter 2025 Total Company Financial Results
Total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2025 were $658.5 million, a 1.2% decrease from $666.4 million in the same quarter of the prior year, primarily due to lower volumes in the Global Warehouse segment and a decrease in third-party managed services and transportation services revenues.
For the fourth quarter of 2025, Global Warehouse segment revenues were $600.7 million, a decrease of $5.8 million, or 1.0% on an actual basis and 1.3% on a constant currency basis, compared to $606.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2024. This decrease was principally driven by a reduction in economic occupancy of 130 basis points to 76.1% and a reduction in throughput pallets of 4.3% due to a competitive environment, changes in consumer buying habits, and the related change in food production levels. Such changes are due to increasing consumer conservatism, amid an inflationary environment, and increased capacity associated with recent speculative development in the cold storage industry. Such headwinds are partially offset by higher revenue per pallet due to changes in mix and pricing adjustments in the normal course of operations.
Global Warehouse segment contribution net operating income (NOI) was $206.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 as compared to $201.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2024, an increase of $5.5 million, or an increase of 2.7% on an actual basis and an increase of 2.5% constant currency basis. Global Warehouse segment margin was 34.4% for the fourth quarter of 2025, a 120 basis point increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. The increase in both NOI and margin for the Global Warehouse segment is primarily driven by lower costs of operations due to the exit of certain sites, partially offset by the decrease in warehouse segment revenues.
Total NOI for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $216.9 million, an increase of 2.7% (2.4% increase on a constant currency basis) from the same quarter of the prior year. This increase is primarily related to an increase in warehouse segment NOI which was driven by lower costs of operations, partially offset by a decrease in warehouse revenue both described above. Such decreases in warehouse revenues were partially offset by increases in warehouse revenues and NOI associated with recently completed expansions, developments, and acquisitions.
For the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company reported net loss of $88.3 million, or a net loss of $0.31 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $36.2 million, or a net loss of $0.13 per diluted share, for the comparable quarter of the prior year. This was primarily driven by the Net loss from sale of real estate of $55.9 million recognized in the fourth quarter of 2025 related to the sale of certain sites, partially offset by the $12.9 million increase in the Total income tax benefit and the same factors driving the increase in NOI mentioned above.
Core EBITDA was $162.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $155.6 million for the comparable quarter of the prior year. This increase (4.7% on an actual basis and 3.3% on a constant currency basis) was primarily driven by the increase in total NOI and the decrease in Selling, general, and administrative costs.
For the fourth quarter of 2025, Core FFO was $102.8 million, or $0.36 per diluted share, compared to $88.6 million, $0.31 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2024.
For the fourth quarter of 2025, Adjusted FFO was $108.3 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, compared to $105.9 million, $0.37 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2024.
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.
Balance Sheet Activity and Liquidity
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had total liquidity of approximately $935.4 million, including cash and available capacity on its revolving credit facility.

Unsecured debt comprises 95.5% of the Company’s total debt as of December 31, 2025. At quarter end, net debt to pro forma Core EBITDA (based on trailing twelve months pro forma Core EBITDA) was approximately 6.8x. The Company’s unsecured debt has a remaining weighted average term of 4.1 years, inclusive of extensions that the Company is expected to utilize, and carries a weighted average contractual interest rate of 4.0%.

| (1) | The adjustments from our U.S. GAAP operating results to calculate our operating results on a constant currency basis are the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates relative to the comparable prior period. |
| (2) | As of December 31, 2025, the non-same store facility count consists of: 4 sites that are in the recently completed expansion and development phase, 2 facilities where the executive leadership team has approved exits (both of which are leased facilities), 1 facility that we purchased in 2025, 1 recently leased warehouse in Australia, and 1 site that is temporarily idle. Beginning in Q4 2025, sites are removed from the site count if the executive leadership team has approved the exit and the site is vacant as of period end. As of December 31, 2025, there are 4 sites in the development and expansion phase that will be added to the non-same store pool when operations commence. |
| (3) | Rent, storage, and warehouse services cost of operations do not include the financial results of warehouses after being considered idle or closed due to an intention to exit. These sites are recognized within Acquisition, cyber incident, and other, net. |
| (4) | Calculated as non-same store rent and storage revenues less non-same store power and other facilities costs. |
| (5) | Calculated as non-same store warehouse services revenues less non-same store labor and other services costs. |
| (6) | 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. |
| (7) | We define average physical occupied pallets as the average number of physically occupied pallets positions in our warehouses for the applicable period. Average physical pallet positions is defined as the average number of estimated pallet positions available for storage (also referred to as pallet capacity) within 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, for the applicable period. |

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 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 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 extraordinary items as defined under U.S. GAAP including Net loss (gain) on sale of non-real estate related 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 loss (gain); Gain on legal settlement related to prior period operations; Project Orion and other software related 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 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 loss and Net loss per common share - diluted (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 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (Unaudited) and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (Unaudited) 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 loss or Net cash provided by 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, 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 before Depreciation and amortization; Interest expense; Income tax benefit; Net loss (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 loss (gain); Stock-based compensation expense; Loss on debt extinguishment and termination of derivative instruments; Net loss on real estate related asset disposals; Net loss (gain) on sale of non-real estate related assets; Gain on legal settlement related to prior period operations; Project Orion and other software related 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 Total 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 loss or Net cash provided by 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 and divestitures. The pro-forma adjustment for acquisitions reflects the Core EBITDA for the period of time prior to acquisition.
NOI is calculated as Net loss before Interest expense, Income tax (expense) benefit, Depreciation and amortization, and excluding corporate Selling, general, and administrative expense; Acquisition, cyber incident, and other, net; Impairment of long-lived assets; Net loss (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 loss (gain) from sale of real estate) and all components of non-operating other income and expense. 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.
