Income Tax (Expense) Benefit
Current report
In connection with the issuance of the Public 5.600% Notes, we incurred approximately $4.2 million of debt issuance costs. Additionally, the notes were priced at 99.862% of the principal amount which resulted in a discount amount of $0.6 million. The total of debt issuance costs incurred, including the discount, was approximately $4.8 million. The unamortized balance of the debt issuance costs and discount are included in “Senior unsecured notes and term loans - net of deferred financing costs” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and totaled $4.6 million as of June 30, 2025. These costs are amortized to “Interest expense” over the term of the Public 5.600% Notes, beginning in April 2025, using the effective interest method.
Current report
The Public 5.600% Notes may be redeemed at the option of the Company. Prior to March 15, 2032, the Public 5.600% Notes may be redeemed at our option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at the Operating Partnership’s option and sole discretion, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Public 5.600% Notes being redeemed, or (ii) a make-whole premium calculated in accordance with the indenture, plus, in either case, unpaid interest accrued thereon to, but excluding the redemption date. On or after March 15, 2032, the Public 5.600% Notes may be redeemed at our option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Public 5.600% Notes to be redeemed, plus any unpaid interest accrued thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date.
Current report
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, our net cash provided by operating activities was $150.5 million, a decrease of $48.1 million compared to $198.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily driven by a $7.0 million decrease in total segment contribution on a constant currency basis, higher costs associated with the implementation of Project Orion, and increased costs associated with closed sites, partially offset by other favorable changes in net working capital (as compared to the impact of changes in working capital in the prior period).

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, our net cash provided by operating activities was $30.2 million, a decrease of $31.8 million compared to $62.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

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 to five 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 be ten 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.

On a constant currency basis, our warehouse segment revenues decreased $16.8 million, or 2.8%, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease was driven by the $9.1 million decrease in revenues in our non-same store pool and the $7.7 million decrease in revenues in our same store pool, both on a constant currency basis, due to factors further discussed below related to the same store warehouse performance.
Current wording
On a constant currency basis, our warehouse segment revenues decreased $6.0 million, or 1.0%, during the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease was driven by the $8.5 million decrease in revenues in our same store pool, partially offset by the $2.5 million increase in revenues in our non-same store pool, both on a constant currency basis, due to factors further discussed in the same store and non-same store discussions below.
Previous wording
On a constant currency basis, our warehouse segment cost of operations decreased $17.9 million, or 4.5%, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the same period of the prior year. This is primarily driven by a decrease of $17.0 million in our non-same store pool and a decrease of $0.9 million in our same store pool, both on a constant currency basis. The decrease in the non-same store pool is related to the release of certain customer specific claims reserves, as well as a decrease in other facilities costs and other service costs associated with the decision to close certain facilities in the non-same store portfolio. The decision to close these facilities resulted in lower operating expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in the prior year.
Current wording
On a constant currency basis, our warehouse segment cost of operations decreased $2.5 million, or 0.6%, during the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period of the prior year. This is primarily driven by a decrease of $2.7 million in our non-same store pool, partially offset by an increase of $0.2 million in our same store pool, both on a constant currency basis. The decrease in the non-same store pool is primarily related to the decision to close certain facilities in the non-same store portfolio.

Previous wording
On a constant currency basis, warehouse segment NOI increased 0.5% during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the same period of the prior year. This is primarily due to increased NOI in our non-same store pool of $7.9 million, on a constant currency basis, due primarily to the factors described above.
Current wording
On a constant currency basis, warehouse segment NOI decreased 1.7% during the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period of the prior year. This is primarily due to decreased NOI in our same store pool of $8.7 million, on a constant currency basis, due to factors discussed below related to the same store warehouse performance. This was partially offset by increased NOI in our non-same store pool of $5.3 million, on a constant currency basis, due primarily to the factors described above.
Previous wording
Same store rent and storage revenues decreased by $9.3 million on a constant currency basis, primarily due to a decrease in economic occupancy of 420 basis points. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in the constant currency same store rent and storage revenues per average economic occupied pallet of 1.7% during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The overall decrease in economic occupancywas primarily due to unusually high inventory levels during the three months ended March 31, 2024, therefore impacting comparability in the three months ended March 31, 2025. Additionally, overall volumes are also impacted by recent regulatory shifts, a competitive and inflationary environment, and abnormal credit yields, all impacting consumer buying habits and the related food production levels.
Current wording
Same store rent and storage revenues decreased by $12.1 million, on a constant currency basis, primarily due to a decrease in economic occupancy of 410 basis points. This decrease in revenues associated with the decline in economic occupancy was partially offset by an increase in the constant currency same store rent and storage revenues per average economic occupied pallet of 0.9% during the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The overall decrease in economic occupancywas due to a combination of factors, including the lapping of a counter cyclical inventory build by our customers in the prior year, recent regulatory shifts, and a competitive and inflationary environment, all impacting consumer buying habits and the related food production levels.
Previous wording
Same store services revenues increased $1.5 million on a constant currency basis, primarily due to general rate increases. Specifically, our constant currency same store services revenues per throughput pallet increased 3.5% during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in the prior year. This was partially offset by a decrease in throughput of 2.9%.
Current wording
Same store services revenues increased $3.6 million on a constant currency basis, primarily due to general rate increases. Specifically, our constant currency same store warehouse services revenues per throughput pallet increased 4.0% during the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in the prior year. This was partially offset by a decrease in throughput of 2.7%.
Previous wording

The decrease was primarily due to overall lower volumes driven by softening transportation demand in the current macro-economic environment coupled with certain customer exits.
Current wording
On a constant currency basis, transportation revenues decreased $2.6 million, or 5.2%, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to overall lower volumes driven by softening transportation demand in the current macro-economic environment coupled with certain customer exits and site exits.

We calculate core funds from operations, or Core FFO, as NAREIT FFO adjusted for the effects of Net loss (gain) on sale of non-real assets; Acquisition, cyber incident, and other, net; Loss on debt extinguishment and termination of derivative instruments; Foreign currency exchange loss; Gain on legal settlement related to prior period operations; Project Orion deferred costs amortization; and Our share of reconciling items related to partially owned entities. We believe that Core FFO is helpful to investors as a supplemental performance measure because it excludes the effects of certain items which can create significant earnings volatility, but which do not directly relate to our core business operations. We believe Core FFO can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods, while also providing a more meaningful predictor of future earnings potential.
