Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
General	General The Company Americold Realty Trust, Inc. together with its subsidiaries (“ART”, “Americold”, the “Company”, “us” or “we”) is a Maryland corporation that operates as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 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 June 30, 2025, we operated 237 warehouses globally, totaling approximately 1.5 billion cubic feet, with 194 warehouses in North America, 24 in Europe, 17 warehouses in Asia-Pacific, and 2 warehouses in South America. Our business includes three primary business segments: Warehouse, Transportation, and Third-party managed. As of June 30, 2025, we have a minority interest in one joint venture: RSA Cold Holdings Limited (the “RSA joint venture”), which operates 2 temperature-controlled warehouses in Dubai. 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 Operating Partnership’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 4 - Debt 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 $193.3 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 $81.6 million and $80.5 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company deployed the first phase of Project Orion in North America and Asia Pacific. 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 and six months ended June 30, 2025 related to the Project Orion ERP implementation was $4.8 million and $6.9 million, respectively. The amortization expense recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 related to the Project Orion ERP implementation was not material. 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. Foreign Currency Related Transactions Exchange rate adjustments resulting from foreign currency transactions are recognized in “Net income (loss)” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, whereas effects resulting from the translation of financial statements are recognized in “Unrealized net loss on foreign currency” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries operating outside the United States with a functional currency other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates and income statement accounts are translated at weighted average exchange rates. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the amount of foreign currency remeasurement recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within “Other, net” was a gain of $0.2 million and of $11.3 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the amount of foreign currency remeasurement recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within “Other, net” was immaterial. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the amount of foreign currency remeasurement recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within “Other, net” was a gain of $10.9 million. The amount recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 includes an adjustment related to our net investment hedges further described in Note 5 - Derivative Financial Instruments to these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the amount of foreign currency translation recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss within “Unrealized net loss on foreign currency” was a loss of $13.2 million and of $10.6 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the amount of foreign currency translation recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss within “Unrealized net loss on foreign currency” was a loss of $19.1 million and of $11.2 million, respectively. Sale of 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. This sale resulted in the recognition of a net $2.4 million gain for the three months ended June 30, 2025, which was recognized within “Other, net” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The gain is net of a $2.4 million loss related to the reclassification of foreign currency translation adjustments previously recorded in Other comprehensive (loss) income - net of tax. As the proceeds associated with this transaction were required to be held by our Brazilian subsidiary until July of 2025, the Company entered into a foreign currency forward contract designated as a net investment hedge of our net investment in our Brazilian subsidiary. The purpose of the hedge contract was to guarantee the repatriation of $27.0 million amidst any foreign currency fluctuation during the holding period that the Brazilian Real were held by our Brazilian subsidiary. The hedge contract net settled in July of 2025 which required the Company to pay $1.5 million to the hedge counterparty, which resulted in net proceeds repatriated to the U.S. of $27.0 million. Loss on Debt Extinguishment During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company purchased eleven facilities in the Company’s lease portfolio that were previously accounted for as failed sale-leaseback financing obligations for total consideration of $191.0 million. Total cash outflows related to these purchases are included within “Termination of sale-leaseback financing obligations” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024. These purchases resulted in the recognition of a $110.4 million loss and a $115.1 million loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, 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 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. In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, “Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets” (“ASU 2025-05”). The amendment provides a practical expedient for estimating expected credit losses on certain current accounts receivable and contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” Under the practical expedient, entities may assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date will remain unchanged over the remaining life of the asset when developing reasonable and supportable forecasts. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU 2025-05 but does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements or related footnotes. 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.

the exception of the implementation in Europe, within three years from the project’s start date. Since inception, the Company has incurred $193.3 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 $81.6 million and $80.5 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company deployed the first phase of Project Orion in North America and Asia Pacific.

The amortization expense recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 related to the Project Orion ERP implementation was not material.

Exchange rate adjustments resulting from foreign currency transactions are recognized in “Net income (loss)” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, whereas effects resulting from the translation of financial statements are recognized in “Unrealized net loss on foreign currency” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries operating outside the United States with a functional currency other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates and income statement accounts are translated at weighted average exchange rates.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the amount of foreign currency remeasurement recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within “Other, net” was immaterial. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the amount of foreign currency remeasurement recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within “Other, net” was a gain of $10.9 million.

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. This sale resulted in the recognition of a net $2.4 million gain for the three months ended June 30, 2025, which was recognized within “Other, net” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The gain is net of a $2.4 million loss related to the reclassification of foreign currency translation adjustments previously recorded in Other comprehensive (loss) income - net of tax.
