Question · Q4 2025

Sameer Kanal asked for clarification on the projected deceleration in the Global Integrated Solutions (GIS) segment's NOI growth for 2026 (0-2%) compared to its strong performance in 2025 (8% year-over-year, double-digit in Q4).

Answer

Greg Lehmkuhl, President and CEO, attributed the anticipated deceleration in GIS growth to several factors. He noted that 2025's strong performance creates tougher comparables. Additionally, lower fuel prices, which Lineage marks up, negatively impact results. He also explained that when trucking costs are low, modal shifting occurs, leading to weaker performance in Lineage's rail business, contributing to a more cautious outlook for GIS in 2026.

Question · Q1 2025

Sameer Hanal asked for an update on leasing discussions and activity trends since April, particularly how Regency is approaching conversations with tenants who may face higher costs due to potential tariffs.

Answer

She noted that historically, even severe downturns like the GFC and COVID only impacted occupancy by 200-250 basis points, expressing confidence in the tenant base's health and ability to navigate current challenges.
