The Company is a global leader in temperature-controlled storage, logistics, real estate and value-added services, and is focused on the ownership, operation, acquisition and development of temperature-controlled warehouses. As of March 31, 2025, we operated 238 warehouses globally, totaling approximately 1.4 billion cubic feet, with 194 warehouses in North America,25 in Europe,17 warehouses in Asia-Pacific, and 2 warehouses in South America.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all disclosures associated with the Company’s Consolidated Annual Financial Statements included in its 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on February 27, 2025, and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the referenced annual report. In the opinion of management, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation. Adjustments which are not considered normal or recurring in nature have been disclosed within Note 3 - Acquisition, cyber incident and other, net to these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements also include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries where the Company exerts control. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. Investments in which the Company does not have control, and is not the primary beneficiary of a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”), but where the Company exercises significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of (1) assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and (2) revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows includes various reclassifications, all within Cash Provided by Operating Activities, to conform current and prior period presentation.
Recent Capital Markets Activity
Universal Shelf Registration Statement
On March 17, 2023, the Company and Americold Realty Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) filed with the SEC an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-270664 and 333-270664-01) (as amended from time to time, the “Registration Statement”), registering an indeterminate amount of (i) the Company’s common stock, $0.01 par value per share, (ii) the Company’s preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share, (iii) depositary shares representing entitlement to all rights and preferences of fractions of the Company’s preferred shares of a specified series and represented by depositary receipts, (iv) warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock or preferred stock or depositary shares and (v) debt securities of the Operating Partnership, which may be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company. The Registration Statement was amended on September 3, 2024 to add certain direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company as co-registrants to the Registration Statement, since each such co-registrant may be a guarantor of some or all of the debt securities of the Operating Partnership with respect to which offers and sales are registered under the Registration Statement.
Public Debt Offerings
On September 12, 2024, we completed an underwritten public offering of $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.409% senior unsecured notes (the “Public 5.409% Notes”) due September 12, 2034. The Public 5.409% Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by each of the Company, Americold Realty Operations, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and a limited partner of the Operating Partnership (“Americold Realty Operations”), and certain subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. Further details of this offering are described in Note 9 - Debt to the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Public 5.409% Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.409% per year, and interest is payable on March 12 and September 12 of each year. The Company made the first payment on March 12, 2025.
On April 3, 2025, we completed an underwritten public offering of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Operating Partnership’s 5.600% senior unsecured notes (the “Public 5.600% Notes”) due May 15, 2032. Further details of the offering are described in Note 13 - Subsequent Events to these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Project Orion
In February 2023, we announced our transformation program “Project Orion” designed to drive future growth and achieve our long-term strategic objectives, through investment in our technology systems and business processes across our global platform. The project includes the implementation of a new, best-in-class, cloud-based enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) software system. The primary goals of this project are to streamline standard processes, reduce manual work and incrementally improve our business analytics capabilities. Highlights of the project include implementing centralized customer billing operations, a global payroll and human capital management platform, next-generation warehouse maintenance capabilities, global procurement functionality and shared-service operations in certain international regions, among others. We expect the benefits of these initiatives to include revenue and margin improvements through pricing data and analytics and heightened customer contract governance, finance and human resources cost reductions, information technology (“IT”) applications and infrastructure rationalization, reduced associate turnover, working capital efficiency and reduced IT maintenance capital expenditures. The activities associated with Project Orion are expected to be substantially complete, with the exception of the implementation in Europe, within three years from the project’s start date. Since inception, the Company has incurred $175.6 million of implementation costs related to Project Orion, including expenses reported in “Acquisition, cyber incident, and other, net” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and costs deferred in “Other assets” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The unamortized balance of the Project Orion deferred costs were $82.3 million and $80.5 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company deployed the first phase of Project Orion. The implementation costs deferred within “Other assets” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are now being amortized through “Selling, general, and administrative” expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The useful lives of the Company’s internal-use software and capitalized cloud computing implementation costs are generally three tofive years. However, the useful lives of major information system installations, such as implementations of ERP systems and certain related software, are determined on an individual basis and may exceed five years depending on the estimated period of use. The Company has determined the useful life of the new ERP system to beten years and is amortizing the costs associated with the ERP implementation on a straight line basis over such period. The amortization expense recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2025 related to the Project Orion ERP implementation was $2.1 million.
For further information regarding Project Orion, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC.
Loss on Debt Extinguishment
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company purchasedtwo facilities in the Company’s lease portfolio that were previously accounted for as failed sale-leaseback financing obligations. Total cash outflows related to these purchases of $20.4 million are included within “Termination of sale-leaseback financing obligations” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
These purchases resulted in the recognition of a $4.7 million loss recognized within “Loss on debt extinguishment and termination of derivative instruments” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations included herein.
Recent Rules and Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”. This ASU requires an entity to disclose the amounts of employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption. It also requires an entity to include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current GAAP in the same disclosure. Additionally, it requires an entity to disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, and to disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. The amendments in the ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. An entity may apply the amendments prospectively for reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements and the related footnote disclosures.
In March 2024, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted the final rules that will require certain climate-related information in registration statements and annual reports. In April 2024, the SEC voluntarily stayed the new rules as a result of pending legal challenges. In March of 2025, the SEC voted to end its defense of the new rules which include a requirement to disclose material climate-related risks, descriptions of board oversight and risk management activities, the material impacts of these risks on a registrants’ strategy, business model and outlook, and any material climate-related targets or goals, as well as material effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions and greenhouse gas emissions. Prior to the stay, the new rules would have been effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2025, except for the greenhouse gas emissions disclosure which would have been effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2026. The Company is currently monitoring the legal challenges and the impact of these rules on its disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”), which is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 provide for enhanced income tax information primarily through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company prospectively for all annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on our annual disclosures for the year ending 2025.
All other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued, but not yet effective are currently being evaluated and at this time are not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
- Business Combinations
Houston Warehouse Acquisition
On March 17, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of one temperature-controlled storage facility, and the related operations, located in Baytown, TX (the “Houston acquisition”), for total cash consideration of $108.4 million. The preliminary fair values of the assets acquired related to the consideration transferred primarily included $61.1 million of property, buildings and equipment and $47.6 million of goodwill, all allocated to the Warehouse segment. The goodwill recorded is primarily attributable to the strategic benefits of the acquisition including additional storage capacity that enabled the efficient transfer of inventory from an existing facility to this newly acquired site. This transfer optimizes the use of the original location and created the space to support a new fixed commitment retail contract. The goodwill associated with the acquisition is fully deductible for federal income tax purposes.
The fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the related preliminary acquisition accounting are based on management’s estimates and assumptions, as well as other information compiled by management, including information from prior valuations of similar entities and the books and records for the Houston acquisition. Our estimates and assumptions are subject to change during the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the acquisition date.

On April 3, 2025, we completed an underwritten public offering of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Operating Partnership’s 5.600% senior unsecured notes (the “Public 5.600% Notes”) due May 15, 2032. Further details of the offering are described in Note 13 - Subsequent Events to these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
- Derivative Financial Instruments
Designated Non-derivative Financial Instruments
As of March 31, 2025, the Company design ated A$202.0 million and€820.5 million of debt and accrued interest as a hedge of its net investment in the respective international subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2024, the Company designated A$197.0 million and€820.5 million of debt and accrued interest as a hedge of its net investment in the respective international subsidiaries. The remeasurement of these instruments is recorded in “Unrealized net loss on foreign currency” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss) Income.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company is subject to volatility in interest rates due to its variable-rate debt. To manage this risk, the Company periodically enters into interest rate swap agreements. These agreements involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts in exchange for fixed-rate interest payments over the life of the respective swap agreement without an exchange of the underlying notional amount. The Company’s objective for utilizing these derivative instruments is to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in cash flows due to changes in interest rates.
The following table includes the key provisions of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:
| Notional | Fixed Base Interest Rate Swap | Effective Date | Expiration Date | Asset Fair Value as of March 31, 2025 | Liability Fair Value as of March 31, 2025 |

| Total | $14,141 | $3,021 | |||
The Company is also subject to volatility in foreign exchange rates due to its foreign-currency denominated intercompany loans to certain international subsidiaries. To manage this risk, the Company periodically enters into cross-currency swap agreements. These agreements involve the receipt of fixed USD amounts in exchange for payment of fixed foreign currency amounts over the life of the intercompany loan. The Company’s objective for utilizing these derivative instruments is to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in cash flows due to changes in foreign exchange rates. At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s outstanding intercompany loan balance with its Australian subsidiary of A$153.5 million was hedged under a cross-currency swap agreement.
There have been no significant changes to our policy or strategy related to derivative financial instruments from that disclosed in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The Company determines the fair value of its derivative instruments using a present value calculation with significant observable inputs classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Derivative asset balances are recorded on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within “Other assets” and derivative liability balances are recorded on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within “Accounts payable and accrued expenses”.
The following table presents the fair value of the Company’s designated derivative financial instruments as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:
| Derivative Assets | Derivative Liabilities | |||

In connection with the issuance of the Public 5.600% Notes in April 2025, the Company executed three treasury lock hedge transactions (“treasury locks”) in March 2025 to hedge the risk-free treasury yield component of the overall rate ultimately assigned to the $400.0 million issuance. Further details of both the public debt offering and related treasury locks are described in Note 13 - Subsequent Events to these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is recorded as “Unrealized net (loss) gain on cash flow hedges” on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss) Income and subsequently reclassified in the period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings within the same income statement and related cash flow line items as the earnings effect of the hedged transaction. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that an additional $3.9 million (inclusive of the treasury locks) will be reclassified as a decrease to “Interest expense”.
The following tables present the effect of the Company’s designated derivative financial instruments on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, including the impacts to Accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCI”):

| Total designated cash flow hedges | $(7,769) | $21,038 | $1,067 | $8,338 | |||
(1)In conjunction with the termination of interest rate swaps in 2020, the Company recorded amounts in Accumulated other comprehensive loss that were reclassified as an adjustment to earnings over the term of the original hedges and respective borrowings. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded an increase to “Loss on debt extinguishment and termination of derivative instruments” related to this transaction.
In 2020, the Company terminated thetwo interest rate swaps related to the 2020 Senior Unsecured Credit Facility for a fee of $16.4 million, of which $8.7 million was recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” and was amortized to “Loss on debt extinguishment and termination of derivative instruments” through August 2024.
The Company’s derivatives are subject to master netting agreements, but there were no impacts from offsetting as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company has not posted any collateral related to these agreements. The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where the Company could be declared in default of its derivative obligations if repayment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to the Company's default on the indebtedness.
- Fair Value Measurements
As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of the instruments.
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis include derivative instruments. The Company’s assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis include long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable.
The Company’s assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value are as follows:
| Fair Value | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Fair Value Hierarchy | March 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
| (In thousands) | |||

(1)The carrying value of the Senior Unsecured Notes, Senior Unsecured Term Loans, and Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility is disclosed in Note 4 - Debt to these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
- Income Taxes
The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 varies from the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate primarily due to the Company being designated as a REIT that is generally treated as a non-tax paying entity. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the effective tax rate was impacted by the blend of pre-tax book income and losses generated year over year by jurisdiction.
The international tax framework (“Pillar 2”) created by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development includes a global minimum tax of 15 percent. Legislation adopting these provisions has been enacted in certain jurisdictions where the Company operates and was effective starting in the Company's 2024 calendar year. The Company concluded that the legislation does not have a material impact on the Company’s income tax expense.
- Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company and its legal counsel evaluate the merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought. If the assessment of a contingency suggests that a loss is probable, and the amount can be reasonably estimated, then a loss is recorded.
In addition to any matters discussed herein, the Company may be subject to litigation and claims arising from the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the outcome of such matters is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
Environmental Matters
The Company is subject to a wide range of environmental laws and regulations in each of the locations in which the Company operates. Compliance with these requirements can involve significant capital and operating costs. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in civil or criminal fines or sanctions, claims for environmental damages, remediation obligations, the revocation of environmental permits, or restrictions on the Company’s operations.
The Company records accruals for environmental matters when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated based on current law and existing technologies. The Company adjusts these accruals periodically as assessment and remediation efforts progress or as additional technical or legal information become available. The Company had nominal amounts recorded as environmental liabilities in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Most of the Company’s warehouses utilize ammonia as a refrigerant. Ammonia is classified as a hazardous chemical regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency, and an accident or significant release of ammonia from a warehouse could result in injuries, loss of life, and property damage. Future changes in applicable environmental laws or regulations, or in the interpretations of such laws and regulations, could negatively impact the Company. The Company believes it is in compliance with applicable environmental regulations in all material respects. Under various U.S. federal, state, and local environmental laws, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the entire cost of investigating, removing, and/or remediating hazardous or toxic substances on such property. Such laws often impose liability whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the contamination. Even if more than one person may have been responsible for the contamination, each person covered by the environmental laws may be held responsible for the entire clean-up cost. There were no material unrecorded contingent liabilities as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Occupational Safety and Health Act (“OSHA”)
The Company’s warehouses located in the U.S. are subject to regulation under OSHA, which requires employers to provide associates with an environment free from hazards, such as exposure to toxic chemicals, excessive noise levels, mechanical dangers, heat or cold stress, and unsanitary conditions. The cost of complying with OSHA and similar laws enacted by states and other jurisdictions in which we operate can be substantial, and any failure to comply with these regulations could expose us to substantial penalties and potentially to liabilities to associates who may be injured at our warehouses. The Company records accruals for OSHA matters when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. The Company believes that it is in substantial compliance with all OSHA regulations and that no material unrecorded liabilities exist as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Future changes in applicable environmental laws or regulations, or in the interpretation of such laws and regulations, could negatively impact the Company.
- Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss
The Company reports activity in Accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCI”) for foreign currency translation adjustments, including the translation adjustment for investments in partially owned entities, unrealized gains and losses on designated derivatives, and minimum pension liability adjustments (net of tax). The activity in AOCI for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 is as follows:

- Segment Information
Our operating segments are aggregated into three reportable segments: Warehouse, Transportation, and Third-party managed.
Warehouse. Our core business is our warehouse segment, where we provide temperature-controlled warehouse storage and related handling and other warehouse services. We collect rent and storage fees to store customer’s frozen and perishable food and other products. Our handling services optimize our customer’s product movement through the cold chain, including placement, case-picking, blast freezing, e-commerce fulfillment, and other recurring handling services.
Significant warehouse segment expenses include labor, power, other facilities costs, and other service costs.
Labor - Labor, the most significant part of warehouse expenses, covers wages, benefits, workers' compensation.
Power - The cost of power, also a significant cost of operations, fluctuates based on the price of power in the regions that our facilities operate and the required temperature zone or freezing required.
Other Facilities Costs - Other facilities costs include utilities other than power, property taxes and insurance, sanitation, repairs and maintenance, operating lease rent charges, security, and other related facilities costs.
Other Services Costs - Other services costs include equipment costs, warehouse consumables (e.g. shrink-wrap), employee protective equipment, warehouse administration and other related services costs.
Transportation. In our transportation segment, we broker, manage or operate transportation of frozen and perishable food and other products for our customers. Our services include consolidation (i.e., combining products for efficient shipment), freight under management services (i.e., arranging and overseeing transportation of customer inventory) and dedicated transportation, each designed to improve efficiency and reduce transportation and logistics costs to our customers.
Transportation services cost of operationsare primarily affected by third-party carrier costs, which are influenced by carrier factors like driver and equipment availability. In select markets, we use our drivers and assets, incurring costs like wages, fuel, tolls, insurance, and maintenance to operate these assets.
Third-party managed. 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.
Third-party managed services cost of operations, which are recognized on a pass-through basis, primarily consist of labor charges similar to those described above as a component of warehouse costs of operations.
The accounting policies used in the preparation of our reportable segments financial information are the same as those used in the preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Our chief operating decision maker is our Chief Executive Officer and uses segment contribution to evaluate segment performance and to allocate resources.
Segment contribution metrics help investors understand revenues, costs, and earnings among service types. Segment contribution 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; Net gain from sale of real estate and all components of non-operating other income and expense.
Selling, general, and administrative functions support all the business segments. Therefore, the related expense is not allocated to segments as the chief operating decision maker does not use it to evaluate segment performance and to allocate resources. Segment contribution is not a measurement of financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to operating income. The Company has not disclosed assets by reportable segments, as asset information is not used by our chief operating decision maker to facilitate resource allocations.
The following table presents segment revenues, significant segment expenses and segment contribution with a reconciliation to (Loss) income before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

- Earnings/Loss per Common Share
Basic (loss) income per share and Diluted (loss) income per share are calculated by dividing the Net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders by the basic and diluted weighted-average common stock outstanding in the period, respectively, using the allocation method prescribed by the two-class method. The Company applies this method to compute earnings/loss per common share because it distributes non-forfeitable dividend equivalents on restricted stock units and Operating Partnership units granted to certain associates and non-employee directors who have the right to participate in the distribution of common dividends while the restricted stock units and Operating Partnership units are unvested.
A reconciliation of the basic and diluted weighted-average common stock outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 is as follows:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| (In thousands) | ||
| Weighted average common stock outstanding – basic | 285,363 | 284,644 |
| Dilutive effect of stock-based awards | — | 234 |
| Weighted average common stock outstanding – diluted | 285,363 | 284,878 |
For the three months ended March 31, 2025, potential common stock under the treasury stock method and the if-converted method were antidilutive because the Company reported a net loss for the period. Consequently, the Company did not have any adjustments between basic and diluted loss per share related to stock-based awards for those periods. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, potential common stock under the treasury stock method and the if-converted method was dilutive because the Company reported net income for the period.
The table below presents the number of antidilutive potential common shares that are not considered in the calculation of diluted (loss) income per share:

(1)Revenues are within the scope of ASC 606: Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Elements of contracts or arrangements that are in the scope of other standards (e.g., leases) are separated and accounted for under those standards.
(2)Revenues are within the scope of ASC 842: Leases.
Performance Obligations
Substantially all of our revenues for warehouse storage and handling services, and management and incentive fees earned under third-party managed and other contracts are recognized over time as the customer benefits equally throughout the period until the contractual term expires. Typically, revenues are recognized over time using an output measure (e.g. passage of time). Revenues are recognized at a point in time upon delivery, when the customer typically obtains control, for most accessorial services, transportation services and reimbursed costs.
For arrangements containing non-cancellable contract terms, any variable consideration related to storage renewals or incremental handling charges above stated minimums are 100% constrained and not included in the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to the unsatisfied performance obligations disclosed below, given the degree in difficulty in estimation. Payment terms are generally 0 -30 days upon billing, which is typically monthly, either in advance or subsequent to the performance of services. The same payment terms typically apply for arrangements containing variable consideration.
The Company has no material warranties or obligations for allowances, refunds or other similar obligations.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $1.3 billion of remaining unsatisfied performance obligations from contracts with customers subject to a non-cancellable term and within contracts that have an original expected duration exceeding one year. These obligations also do not include variable consideration beyond the non-cancellable term, which due to the inability to quantify by estimate, is fully constrained. The Company expects to recognize approximately 20% of these remaining performance obligations as revenue in 2025, and the remaining 80% to be recognized over a weighted average period of 13.5 years through 2042.
Contract Balances
The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in accounts receivable (contract assets), and unearned revenues (contract liabilities) on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Generally, billing occurs monthly, subsequent to revenue recognition, resulting in contract assets. However, the Company may bill and receive advances or deposits from customers, particularly on storage and handling services, before revenue is recognized, resulting in contract liabilities. These assets and liabilities are reported on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the contract asset and liability balances during the three months ended March 31, 2025, were not materially impacted by any other factors.
Receivable balances related to contracts with customers accounted for under ASC 606 were $370.6 million and $381.0 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. All other trade receivable balances relate to contracts accounted for under ASC 842.
Balances in unearned revenues related to contracts with customers were $22.9 million and $22.0 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Substantially all revenues that were included in the contract liability balances at the beginning of 2025 have been recognized as of March 31, 2025, and represent revenues from the satisfaction of monthly storage and handling services with average customer inventory turns of approximately 30 days.
- Subsequent Events
Sale of the SuperFrio Joint Venture
On April 30, 2025, the Company completed the sale of its 14.99% equity interest in the SuperFrio joint venture to a third party for the Brazilian Real US dollar equivalent of $27.5 million. As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s equity method investment balance in the SuperFrio joint venture was $23.1 million which is recognized within “Investments in and advances to partially owned entities” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As the proceeds associated with this transaction will be held by our Brazilian subsidiary until July of 2025, we have entered into a foreign currency forward contract designated as a net investment hedge of our net investment in our Brazilian subsidiaries. The contract includes an obligation to pay R$155.9 million and receive $27.0 million. The hedge contract is set to mature in July of 2025.
Public Debt Offering
On April 3, 2025, pursuant to the effective shelf registration statement further described in Note 1 - General to these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we completed an underwritten public offering of $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.600% senior unsecured notes (the “Public 5.600% Notes”) due May 15, 2032. The Public 5.600% Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by each of the Company, Americold Realty Operations, and certain subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. The Public 5.600% Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.600% per year, and interest is payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year, with the first payment occurring on November 15, 2025. In connection with the Public 5.600% Notes issuance in April 2025, we executed three treasury lock hedge transactions in March of 2025 to hedge the risk-free treasury yield component of the overall rate ultimately assigned to the $400.0 million public debt offering. The treasury locks were tied to $300.0 million of the principal and secured a treasury yield range of 4.0957% to 4.0985%. The transactions settled on March 25, 2025, when the notes were priced, and included proceeds of $1.3 million, which were recognized as a gain within "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2025. These amounts will be amortized on a straight-line basis as a decrease to “Interest expense” over the term of the Public 5.600% Notes, beginning in April 2025.
