- Americold reported Q3 2025 AFFO per share of $0.35, which was in line with expectations, with same-store economic occupancy at 75.5%, flat sequentially but down year-over-year.
- The company reiterated its guidance for the remainder of 2025 and anticipates continued pressure on pricing and economic occupancy throughout 2026.
- For 2026, Americold expects a pricing headwind of 100 to 200 basis points and an approximate 200 to 300 basis point decrease in total economic occupancy.
- These challenges are attributed to lower consumer demand, food inflation, and the absorption of approximately 3 million pallet positions of speculative capacity added in North America over the past four years, representing over 15% incremental capacity, which is expected to take a couple of years to resolve.
- Americold Realty Trust reported total revenues of $663.7 million for Q3 2025, a 1.6% decrease from Q3 2024, resulting in a net loss of $11.4 million or $0.04 loss per diluted share.
- The company delivered Adjusted FFO of $0.35 per diluted share in Q3 2025, consistent with the prior year, and reiterated its 2025 full-year outlook for Adjusted FFO per share between $1.39 and $1.45.
- Global Warehouse segment same-store revenues decreased 1.5% and same-store NOI decreased 2.8% on a constant currency basis compared to Q3 2024, with total warehouse segment economic occupancy at 73.8%, a 290 basis point decrease from Q3 2024.
- As of September 30, 2025, 60.0% of rent and storage revenues were derived from fixed commitment contracts or leases, carrying an 8-year weighted average stated term.
- Americold's Dublin facility has been certified by Ireland’s Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (DAFM) to export meat to the United States.
- This certification positions Americold as the only dedicated third-party cold storage provider in Ireland with this capability, offering Irish meat producers a compliant logistics pathway to the U.S. market.
- In 2025, Americold Ireland also completed five AA-rated BRC Global Standard audits across its facilities and successfully passed the McDonald’s Distributor Quality Management Process (DQMP) audit, reinforcing its commitment to high food safety and quality standards.
- These achievements underscore Americold’s strategic focus on expanding its global footprint and enabling customer growth.
- The North America cold chain market is forecast to expand significantly, from an estimated $116.85 billion in 2025 to $289.58 billion by 2034, demonstrating a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 9.5%.
- This growth is driven by increased global trade of temperature-sensitive products, burgeoning demand from the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors, and the expansion of e-commerce and online grocery delivery services.
- Americold Logistics LLC is identified as the largest publicly traded REIT specializing in temperature-controlled warehousing, operating alongside other major players such as Lineage Logistics Holding, LLC, United States Cold Storage Inc., and VersaCold Logistics Services.
- Recent industry developments include new cold storage facilities by CJ Logistics America, Lineage Logistics' cross-border transportation service, and Agile Cold Storage, with United States Cold Storage Inc. completing an expansive refrigerated extension by February 2025.
- Americold Realty Trust has opened a new $100+ million Import-Export Hub in Kansas City, Missouri, developed in partnership with Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC).
- This 335,000-square-foot facility is Americold's first on the CPKC rail network and serves as a key hub for the Mexico Midwest Express (MMX), North America's only single-line rail service for refrigerated goods between the U.S. and Mexico.
- The hub features on-site USDA inspections to eliminate border delays and is expected to create nearly 190 new jobs.
- Americold Realty Trust Inc. reported Q2 2025 AFFO per share of $0.36.
- The company reduced its full-year AFFO guidance to $1.39 to $1.45 per share and now expects same-store economic occupancy levels for the year to decrease by approximately 250 to 450 basis points.
- These adjustments are attributed to continued market headwinds, including interest rates, tariffs, inflation, government benefit reductions, and excess capacity, which are pressuring occupancy rates and pricing.
- Despite the challenges, Americold completed key development projects in Kansas City, Allentown, and Dubai , and maintained 60% of its rent and storage revenue from fixed-to-mid contracts for the quarter.
