In addition, we have entered into certain forward contracts and other hedging arrangements in order to fix power costs for anticipated electricity requirements. These hedging transactions expose us to certain risks, such as the risk that counterparties may fail to honor their obligations under these arrangements, and that these arrangements may not be effective in reducing our exposure to interest rate and power cost changes. Moreover, there can be no assurance that our hedging arrangements will qualify for hedge accounting or that our hedging activities will have the desired beneficial impact on our results of operations or cash flows. Should we desire to terminate a hedging agreement, there could be significant costs and cash requirements involved to fulfill our obligation under the hedging agreement. Failure to hedge effectively against interest rate and power cost changes could have a material adverse effect on us.When a hedging agreement is required under the terms of a mortgage loan, it is often a condition that the hedge counterparty maintains a specified credit rating. With the current volatility in the financial markets, there is an increased risk that hedge counterparties could have their credit ratings downgraded to a level that would not be acceptable under the loan provisions. If we were unable to renegotiate the credit rating condition with the lender or find an alternative counterparty with an acceptable credit rating, we could be in default under the loan and the lender could seize that property through foreclosure, which could have a material adverse effect on us.
Our investment and financing policies are exclusively determined by our board of directors. Accordingly, our stockholders do not control these policies. Further, our organizational documents do not limit the amount or percentage of indebtedness, funded or otherwise, that we may incur. Although we are not required to maintain a particular leverage ratio, we generally intend to target a level of net debt (which includes recourse and non-recourse borrowings and any outstanding preferred stock issuance less unrestricted cash and cash equivalents) that, over time, is less than six times our Adjusted EBITDA. However, from time to time, our ratio of net debt to our Adjusted EBITDA may exceed sixsee in full comparisontimes.

Our investments in real estate assets are concentrated in the industrial real estate industry, specifically in temperature-controlled warehouses. This concentration exposes us to the risk of economic downturns in this industry to a greater extent than if our business activities included a more significant portion of other sectors of the real estate market. We are also exposed to fluctuations in the markets for, and production of, the commodities and finished products that we store in our warehouses. For example, the demand for seafood, packaged foods and proteins such as poultry, pork and beef and the production of such products directly impacts the need for temperature-controlled warehouse space to store such products for our customers. Although our customers collectively store a diverse product mix in our temperature-controlled warehouses, declinesDeclines in production of or demand for theirour customers’ products could cause our customers to reduce their inventory levels at and throughput through our warehouses, which could reduce the storage, handling and other fees payable to us and materially and adversely affect us.
Although we own or hold leasehold interests in warehouses across the United States and globally, many of these warehouses are concentrated in a few geographic areas. For example, approximately 8%10% of our owned or leased warehouses were located in theCalifornia, Netherlands, 7%8% were in Washington, 7%8% were in California,the 7%Netherlands, 6% were in Illinois, and 6% were in Texas (in each case, on a cubic-foot basis based on information as of December 31, 20242025). This geographic concentration could adversely affect our operating performance if conditions become less favorable in any of the states or markets within such states in which we have a concentration of properties. We cannot assure you that any of our markets will grow, not experience adverse developments or that underlying real estate fundamentals will be favorable to owners and operators of service-oriented or experience-based properties. Our operations may also be affected if competing properties are built in our markets. Local conditions may include natural disasters, periods of economic slowdown or recession, regulatory changes, labor shortages or strikes, localized oversupply in warehousing space or reductions in demand for warehousing space, adverse agricultural events, road or rail line closures, disruptions in logistics systems, such as transportation and tracking systems for our customers’ inventory, and power outages.
We also maintain facilities in areas that may be susceptible to natural disasters or other serious disruptions caused by record or sustained high temperatures, fire, earthquakes, droughts, floods, or other causes that may spoil, damage or destroy a significant portion of customer inventory. In addition, adverse weather patterns may affect local harvests, which could have an adverse effect on our customers and cause them to reduce their inventory levels at our warehouses, which could in turn materially and adversely affect us. Our inability to quickly and effectively restore operations following adverse weather or a localized disaster, or economic or other disturbance in a key geography could materially and adversely affect us. Although ourOur property insurance typically insures us against such risks, these policies are subject to deductibles and customary exclusions, and there can be no assurance that such potential liability will not exceed the applicable coverage limits under our insurance policies.
Adverse economic conditions such as high unemployment levels, interest rates, tariffs, tax rates and fuel and energy costs may have an impact on the results of operations and financial conditions. The success of our business will be affected by general economic and market conditions, as well as by changes in laws, currency exchange controls and national and international political, environmental and socio-economic circumstances. Specifically, our business operations are sensitive to the systemic impact of inflation, tariffs, the availability and cost of credit, declines in the real estate market, increases in fuel, energy and power costs and geopolitical issues. A severe or prolonged economic downturn may adversely impact the general availability of credit to businesses and could lead to a weakening of the U.S. and global economies. While it is difficult to determine the breadth and duration of any unfavorable market or economic conditions and the many ways in which they may affect our customers and our business in general, unfavorable market or economic conditions may result in:
InflationIn recent years, inflation in North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region has risenrose to levels not experienced in recent decadesdecades, and we arehave seeingseen its impact on various aspects of our business. While inflation levels have slowed globally throughout 2025, we continue to see the impact of rising costs. Certain of our expenses, including, but not limited to, labor costs, utility costs (power in particular), interest expense, property taxes, insurance premiums, equipment repair and replacement, and other operating expenses are subject to inflationary pressures that have and may continue to negatively impact our business and results of operations. WhileOur we seekefforts to reduce the impact of inflation by increased operating efficiencies and embedded rate escalation or price increases to our customers tomay offsetnot increasedbe costssuccessful, and while regulators’ efforts to reduce inflation have been achieved varying levels of success, there can be no assurance that we will be able to offset future inflationary cost increases in whole or in part, which could adversely impact our profit margins. We may be limited in our ability to obtain reimbursement from customers under existing contracts for any increases in operating expenses such as labor, electricity charges, maintenance costs, taxes, including real estate and income taxes, or other real estate-related costs.expenses. Unless we are able to offset any unexpected costs in a timely manner, or at all, with sufficient revenues through new contracts or new customers, increases in these costs would lower our operating margins and could materially and adversely affect us. In addition, higher food costs have continued to impact end-consumers’ buying decisions for certain commodities, which could negatively impact specific customers.
Additionally, inflation may have a negative effect on the construction costs necessary to complete our greenfield development and expansion projects, including, but not limited to, costs of construction materials, labor and services from third-party contractors and suppliers. Higher construction costs could adversely impact our investments in real estate assets and expected yields on our greenfield development and expansion projects, which may make otherwise lucrative investment opportunities less profitable to us.
Additionally, inflation may have a negative effect on the construction costs necessary to complete our greenfield development and expansion projects, including, but not limited to, costs of construction materials, labor and services from third-party contractors and suppliers. We rely on a number of third-party suppliers and contractors to supply raw materials, skilled labor, and services for our construction projects. Notwithstanding our efforts to manage certain increases in the costs of construction materials in our greenfield development and expansion projects through either general budget contingencies built into our overall project construction costs estimates or guaranteed maximum price construction contracts (which stipulate a maximum price for certain construction costs and shift inflation risk to our construction general contractors), no assurance can be given that our budget contingencies would accurately account for potential construction cost increases given the current severity of inflation and variety of contributing factors, or that our general contractors would be able to absorb such increases in costs and complete our construction projects timely, within budget, or at all.
Higher construction costs could adversely impact our investments in real estate assets and expected yields on our greenfield development and expansion projects, which may make otherwise lucrative investment opportunities less profitable to us. Our reliance on a number of third-party suppliers and contractors may also make such investment opportunities unattainable if we are unable to sufficiently fund our projects due to significant cost increases, or are unable to obtain the resources and materials to do so reasonably due to disrupted supply chains. As a result, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and ability to satisfy our debt service obligations and to pay dividends and distributions to security holders could be adversely affected over time.
Our exposure to increases in interest rates is limited to our variable-rate borrowings, which primarily consist of borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility and our Term Loan A. As of December 31, 2024, we had $2.9 billion of our outstanding consolidated indebtedness that is variable-rate debt. However, the effect of inflation on interest rates could increase our financing costs over time, either through near-term borrowings on our floating-rate lines of credit or refinancing of our existing borrowings that may incur higher interest expenses related to the issuance of new debt. For more information, see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Indebtedness—Increases in interest rates could increase the amount of our debt payments.”
Labor shortages, increased turnover, and work stoppages have in the past,past disrupted, and may in the future,future continue to disruptdisrupt, our or our customers’ operations, increase costs, and negatively impact our profitability.
We hire our own workforce to handle product in and out of storage for our customers in most of our facilities. Our ability to successfully implement our business strategy depends upon our ability to attract and retain talented people and effectively manage our human capital. The labor markets in the industries in which we operate are competitive, and we have historically experienced some level of ordinary course turnover of employees. A number of factors have had and may continue to have adverse effects on the labor force available to us, including reduced employment pools and shortages in other industries with which we compete for labor, government regulations, which include lawslaws, regulations, and regulationspolicies related to workers’ health and safety, wage and hour practices and immigration. In addition, we seek to optimize our mix of permanent and temporary team members in our facilities, as temporary team members typically result in higher costs and lower efficiency. Labor shortages and increased turnover rates within our team member ranks have led toto, and could in the future lead toto, increased costs, such as increased overtime to meet demand, increased time and resources related to training new team members, and increased wage rates to attract and retain team members, and could negatively affect our ability to efficiently operate our facilities or otherwise operate at full capacity. An overall or prolonged labor shortage, lack of skilled labor, inability to maintain a stable mix of permanent to temporary team members, increased turnover and labor cost inflation could have a material adverse impact on us. In addition, we may not be able to successfully implement our labor productivity and lean operating principles initiatives, which may impede our growth.
In addition, our customers’ operations are subject to labor shortages and disruptions that could continue to negatively impact their production capability, resulting in reduced volume of product for storage. In addition, labor shortages and disruptions impacting the transportation industry may hamper the timely movement of goods into and out of our warehouses. These labor shortages and disruptions could in turn have a material adverse effect on us.
Supply chain disruptions have in the past, and may continueagain toin the future, negatively impact our business.
We are exposed to risks associated with expansion and development, including greenfields, which could result in returns below expectations and unforeseen costs and liabilities.
We have engagedengaged, and we expect to continue to engage, in expansion and development activities, including greenfield development and expansion projects, with respect to certain of our properties. Expansion and development activities will subject us to certain risks not present in the acquisition of existing properties (the risks of which are described below), including, without limitation, the following:
•the potential that we may expend funds on and devote management time and attention to projects which we do not complete;
As of December 31, 2024,2025, we had 2315 greenfield development and expansion projects that had been completed since DecemberJanuary 31,1, 20212023 and sixnine greenfield development and expansion projects under construction. As a part of our standard development and expansion underwriting process, we analyze the estimated initial full year stabilized NOI yield we expect to derive from each greenfield development project and the estimated incremental initial full year stabilized NOI yield we expect to derive from each expansion project, as applicable, and establish a targeted NOI yield range. We define estimated initial full year stabilized NOI yield as the percentage of the total estimated cost to complete the greenfield development or expansion project represented by the estimated initial full year stabilized NOI from the greenfield development project or the estimated incremental initial full year stabilized NOI from the expansion project. For greenfield development projects, we calculate the estimated initial full year stabilized NOI by subtracting the greenfield development project’s estimated initial full year stabilized operating expenses (before interest expense, income taxes (if any) and depreciation and amortization) from its estimated initial full year stabilized revenue. For expansion projects, we calculate the estimated incremental initial full year stabilized NOI by subtracting the expansion project’s estimated incremental initial full year stabilized operating expenses (before interest expense, income taxes (if any) and depreciation and amortization) from its estimated incremental initial full year stabilized revenue.
Our future greenfield development and expansion activity may not be consistent with the estimates related to our future long-term pipeline set forth in this Annual Report.
As of December 31, 2024, we were researching or underwriting a range of greenfield development and expansion opportunities as part of our future long-term pipeline, including 15 projects globally at various phases of research and underwriting, with an estimated construction cost of approximately $1.7 billion and potential contribution of approximately 3.0 million square feet, approximately 189 million cubic feet and approximately 678 thousand pallet positions. The projects in our future long-term pipeline include both projects where we already own the land and projects for which we will need to acquire incremental land.
We caution you not to place undue reliance on the projections related to our future long-term pipeline because they are based solely on our estimates, using data currently available to us, and our business plans as of the date of this Annual Report. Our actual greenfield development and expansion activity may differ substantially from our projections based on numerous factors, including our inability to acquire the necessary incremental land or obtain necessary zoning, land use and other required entitlements, as well as building and other required governmental permits and authorizations, and changes in the entitlement, permitting and authorization processes that may restrict or delay our ability to execute on our future long-term pipeline. Moreover, we may strategically choose not to execute on our future long-term pipeline or be unable to do so as a result of factors beyond our control, including our inability to obtain financing on terms and conditions that we find acceptable, or at all, and fund our development and expansion activities. We can provide no assurance that actual greenfield development and expansion activity and/or any particular project will be consistent with the projections for our future long-term pipeline set forth in this Annual Report.
Our customer contracts that do not contain minimum storage guarantees typically do not require our customers to utilize a minimum number of pallet positions or provide for guaranteed fixed payment obligations from our customers to us. As a result, most of our customers may discontinue or otherwise reduce their use of our warehouses or other services in their discretion at any timetime, which could have a material adverse effect on us. Additionally, we have discrete pricing for our customers based upon their unique profiles. Therefore, a shift in the mix of business types or customers could negatively impact our financial results.
The storage and other fees we generate from customers with month-to-month warehouse rate agreements may be adversely affected by declines in market storage and other fee rates more quickly than with respect to our contracts that contain stated terms.
The storage and other fees we generate from customers with month-to-month warehouse rate agreements may be adversely affected by declines in market storage and other fee rates more quickly than with respect to our contracts that contain stated terms. There also can be no assurance that we will be able to retain any customers upon the expiration of their contracts (whether month-to-month warehouse rate agreements or contracts) or leases. If we cannot retain our customers, or if our customers that are not party to contracts with minimum storage guarantees elect not to store goods in our warehouses, we may be unable to find replacement customers on favorable terms or at all or on a timely basis and we may incur significant expenses in obtaining replacement customers, repositioning warehouses to meet their needs, or temporarily idling warehouses. Any of the foregoing could materially and adversely affect us.
We have grown rapidly in recent years, including by expanding our internal resources, undertaking expansion and development projects, making acquisitions, providing expanded service offerings and entering new markets. Our growth has, and may continue to, place a strain on our management, operational, financial and information systems, and procedures and controls to expand, train and control our employee base. Our need for working capital will increase as our operations grow. There can be no assurance that we will be able to adapt our portfolio management, administrative, accounting, information technology (“IT”) and operational systems to support any growth we may experience. Failure to oversee our current portfolio of properties and manage our growth effectively, or to obtain necessary working capital and funds for capital improvements, could have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, our inability to obtain necessary working capital and funds for capital improvements or to successfully deploy capital on accretive projects could impede our growth.
We have executed on 120126 acquisitions since our first acquisition in 2008 through December 31, 2024.2025. Our ability to expand through acquisitions requires us to identify and complete acquisitions that are compatible with our growth strategy and to successfully integrate and operate these newly-acquired companies and/or properties. We continually evaluate acquisition opportunities but cannot guarantee that suitable opportunities currently exist or will exist in the future. In addition, future acquisitions may generate lower returns than past acquisitionsacquisitions, and past acquisitions may not generate the same returns as they did previously. Our ability to identify and complete acquisitions of suitable companies and/or properties on favorable terms, or at all, and to successfully integrate and operate them to meet our financial, operational and strategic expectations may be constrained by the following risks, among others:
•we face competition from other real estate investors with significant capital, including REITs and institutional investment funds, which may be able to accept more risk than we can prudently manage, including risks associated with paying higher acquisition prices;
•we face competition from other potential acquirers that may significantly increase the purchase price for a company and/or property we acquire, which could reduce our growth prospects or returns;
•we may incur significant costs and divert management’s attention in connection with evaluating and negotiating potential acquisitions, including ones that we are subsequently unable to complete;
•we may acquire companies or properties that are not accretive to our operating and financial results upon acquisition, and we may be unsuccessful in integrating and operating such companies or properties in accordance with our expectations;
•our cash flow from an acquired company or property may be insufficient to meet our required principal and interest payments with respect to any debt used to finance the acquisition of such company or property;
•we may discover unexpected items, such as unknown liabilities, during our due diligence investigation of a potential acquisition or other customary closing conditions may not be satisfied, causing us to abandon an acquisition opportunity after incurring expenses related thereto;
•we may face opposition from governmental authorities or third parties alleging that potential acquisition transactions are anti-competitive, and as a result, we may have to spend a significant amount of time and expense to respond to related inquiries, or governmental authorities may prohibit the transaction or impose terms or conditions that are unacceptable to us;
•we may fail to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals or other approvals required in connection with any potential acquisition or we may fail to satisfy certain conditions required to complete a transaction in a timely manner;
•we may be required to acquire a company and/or property through one or more of our taxable REIT subsidiary, or TRS, entities, but no more than 20% of the value of our gross assets may consist of securities in TRSs, and as a result, compliance with these requirements could limit our ability to complete a transaction;
•we may fail to discover design or construction defects of an acquired property following the completion of an acquisition that may require unforeseen capital expenditures, special reports or maintenance expenses;
•we may fail to obtain financing for an acquisition on favorable terms or at all;
•we may be unable to make, or may spend more than budgeted amounts to make, necessary improvements or renovations to acquired properties;
•we may spend more than budgeted amounts to meet customer specifications on a newly-acquired warehouse;
•market conditions may result in higher than expected vacancy rates and lower than expected storage charges, rent or fees from our global warehousing business and lower utilization of and revenue from our integrated solutions business;
•engineering, seismic and other reports on which we rely as part of our pre-acquisition due diligence investigations of these properties may be inaccurate or deficient, at least in part because defects may be difficult or impossible to ascertain; or
•Our ability to identify and complete acquisitions of suitable companies and/or properties on favorable terms, or at all, and to successfully integrate and operate them to meet our financial, operational and strategic expectations may be constrained. We face competition from other potential acquirers that may significantly increase the purchase price for a company or property. We may fail to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals or other approvals required in connection with any potential acquisition or we may fail to satisfy certain conditions required to complete a transaction in a timely manner. We may, without any recourse, or with only limited recourse, acquire properties subject to liabilities, such as liabilities for clean-up of undisclosed environmental contamination, defects of design, construction, title or other problems, claims by employees, customers, vendors or other persons dealing with the former owners of the properties, liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business and claims for indemnification by general partners, directors, officers and others indemnified by the former owners of the properties.
In addition, we may be required to acquire a company or property through one or more of our taxable REIT subsidiary, or TRS, entities, but no more than 20% (25% for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025) of the value of our gross assets may consist of securities in TRSs, and as a result, compliance with these requirements could limit our ability to complete a transaction.
If any of the foregoing risks were to materialize, they could materially and adversely affect us.
Prior to our IPO, we relied on Bay Grove to provide certain operating, consulting, strategic development and financial services, including advice and assistance concerning operational aspects of Lineage Logistics Holdings, LLC (“Lineage Holdings”) and its subsidiaries, and we will continue to rely on Bay Grove for transition services supporting capital deployment and mergers and acquisitions activity for three years following our IPO pursuant to the transition services agreement that we entered into in connection with our IPO. In addition, itIt may be difficult for us to replace the services provided by Bay Grove under the transition services agreement, and the terms of any agreements to replace such services may be less favorable to us. Any failure by Bay Grove in the performance of such services, or any failure on our part to successfully transition these services away from Bay Grove by the expiration of the transition services agreement, could materially harm our business and financial performance.
We can only terminate the transition services agreement with Bay Grove under limited circumstances and will be required to pay fees thereunder even if Bay Grove does not perform the services required.
The transition services agreement that we entered into with Bay Grove in connection with our IPO provides that the agreement can only be terminated by mutual written consent of us and Bay Grove or by us for cause (as defined in the transition services agreement), which does not include any failure of Bay Grove to provide services under the agreement. Accordingly, even if Bay Grove were to fail to provide the services required pursuant to the transition services agreement, we would be obligated to pay Bay Grove $8 million per year for the term of the agreement. In such event, we could incur operational difficulties or losses, including the incurrence of additional costs to transition such services, that could have a material and adverse effect on us.

On July 26, 2024, we closed our IPO of 56,882,051 shares of our common stock at a price of $78.00 per share, with a subsequent exercise in full by the underwriters of their option to purchase from us an additional 8,532,307 shares of common stock that closed on July 31, 2024. The net proceeds to us from the IPO were $4,873 million. In connection with the IPO, we terminated the operating services agreement between our subsidiary, Lineage Holdings, and Bay Grove Management. Additionally, we entered into a transition services agreement with Bay Grove Management, pursuant to which Bay Grove Management is expected to provide certain transition services to support capital deployment, mergers, and acquisitions activities for the three years following our IPO.
Refer to Note 2, Capital structure and noncontrolling interests in the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report for more information regarding our IPO-related transactions.
•Warehouse Agreements. Warehouse agreements are designed to accommodate the individual needs and characteristics of our customers and may include negotiated provisions, such as a fixed term, transactional pricing for warehouse services, pricing increase mechanisms based on inflationary cost increases and customer profile changes, a storage fee based on a minimum storage guarantee of the customer, additional storage fees based on on-demand storage used, a warehouseman’s lien on customer products held in our warehouses as security for payments, and provisions for interest and late payments if payment is not received within 30 days after invoicing.payments. The initial term of our warehouse agreements generally ranges from one to five years for typical customer relationships and 10 to 20 years for build-to-suit warehouses. Renewal periods, in each case, generally range from one to five years. Inflationary price increase mechanisms may be fixed or tied to relevant market indices, giving us the ability to recover costs for wage increases, increases in rent, power, real estate, and other costs.
Cost of operations. Our global warehousing segment cost of operations consists primarily of labor, power, and other warehouse costs. Labor comprises the largest component of the cost of operations from our global warehousing segment and consists primarily of employee wages (both direct and indirect) and benefits, excluding stock-based compensation. Changes in our labor expense are driven by, among other things, changes in headcount, changes in compensation levels and associated performance incentives, the use of third-party labor to support our operations, changes in terms of collective bargaining agreements, changes in customer requirements and associated work content, workforce productivity, labor availability, governmental policies and regulations, and variability in costs associated with employer-provided benefits. Our second-largest cost of operations is power utilized in the operation of our temperature-controlled warehouses. We may, from time to time, hedge our exposure to changes in power prices through fixed rate agreements. In addition, to the extent possible and appropriate, we may seek to mitigate or offset the impact of fluctuations in the price of power on our financial results through rate escalations or power surcharge provisions within our agreements with customers. We also look to implement energy saving alternatives to reduce energy consumption, including the installation of solar panels, state of the art refrigeration control systems, LED lighting, thermal energy storage, motion-sensor technology, variable frequency drives for our fans and compressors, and rapid open/close doors. Additionally, business mix impacts our power expense depending on the temperature zone and type and frequency of freezing required (e.g., blast freezing). Other warehouse costs include utilities other than power, insurance, real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, rent under real property operating leases where applicable, equipment costs, warehouse consumables (e.g., pallets and shrink-wrap), personal protective equipment, warehouse administration, and other related facility and services costs.

General and administrative expenses. Our general and administrative expenses consist primarily of costs associated with the administration of our global warehousing and global integrated solutions segments, including management wages and benefits, administrative, legal, business development, project management, sales, marketing, engineering, safety and compliance, food optimization, human resources, finance, accounting, network optimization, data science, and information technology personnel, transformational information technology expenses, equity incentive plans, communications and data processing, travel, professional fees, credit loss, training, office equipment, supplies, and, prior to our IPO, management fees paid to Bay Grove in accordance with the terms of the operating services agreement. Trends in general and administrative expenses are influenced by changes in headcount and compensation levels and achievement of incentive compensation targets. In connection with our IPO, we terminated the operating services agreement in order to internalize certain operating, strategic development, and financial services that were previously provided by Bay Grove under it, and entered into a transition services agreement with Bay Grove to provide certain of these services for a three-year term while we internalize such functions. Trends in general and administrative expenses are influenced by changes in headcount and compensation levels and achievement of incentive compensation targets.
Acquisition, transaction, and other expenses. Our acquisition, transaction, and other expenses consist of costs with a high level of variability from period-to-period and include professional fees associated with planned and completed business expansion activities, and acquisition integration costs. In addition, it includes expenses associated with our IPO, including costs related to public company readiness efforts and costs incurred as a result of our IPO in the third quarter of 20242024. (seeIt Notealso 2,includes Capital structurelegal and noncontrolling interests to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report for further detail onadministrative costs associated with ourfiling IPO).of other registration statements, and expenses incurred in connection with the coordinated settlement process that will occur for up to three years post-IPO for all legacy investors in BGLH. These costs are expensed as incurred. ItEmployee-related expenses also includesinclude employee-related expensescosts associated with acquisitions, such as acquisition-related severance and consulting agreements and certain cash-based incentive awards given to employees of legacy companies in acquisitions.
Goodwill impairment. Our goodwill impairment includes impairment losses recognized when a reporting unit’s carrying value is determined to exceed its fair value. We assess goodwill impairment on an annual basis as of October 1, or on an interim basis when events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not indicate an impairment exists.
Restructuring, impairment, and (gain) loss on disposals. Our restructuring, impairment, and (gain) loss on disposals include certain contractual and negotiated severance and separation costs from exited former executives, costs related to reductions in headcount to achieve operational efficiencies, and costs associated with exiting non-strategic operations. We record such costs when there is a substantive plan for employee severance or employees are otherwise entitled to benefits (e.g., in case of one-time terminations) and related costs are probable and estimable. It also includes gains (losses) on dispositions of property, plant, and equipment and impairments of long-lived assets, net of related gains on insurance recoveries.recoveries, excluding impairments of goodwill.
•Inflation and Customer Rate Increases. In response to significant inflationary impacts in recent years across wages, energy, and other operational costs, we implemented customer rate increases to offset such impacts to our operating results. Offsetting these inflationary price increases, we are continuing to see pricing pressure in certain markets with excess capacity, but overall pricing has remained stable within a range based upon types of services provided, seasonal harvests, and types of customers (local versus export). We believe that higher food costs continuehave continued to impact end-consumers’ buying decisions for certain commodities.commodities, Aswhich could negatively impact specific customers; however, overall demand in retail and foodservice has grown recently, according to market data. Inflation overall has progressed toward more normal levels; however, tariff and other trade policies have continued to cause overall uncertainty and aggravated inflation eases,in wecertain expectsectors, toparticularly seein reliefNorth across operational cost pressures and volumes, both on-hand and throughput.America.
•Occupancy and Throughput. Coming out of the global pandemic, we experienced higher physical occupancy levels through the first half of 2023, particularly in North America, significantly driven by customers increasing production and inventories in response to supply chain backlogs in recent years. Beginning in the second half of 2023, we believe customers began rationalizing inventory levels in response to factors such as continued higher interest rates and inflation,inflation. whichThis isrationalization drivinghas driven changes in customer demand.demand for our warehouse space and services. As our customers continue to adjust to these new demand levels,levels and rationalize inventory, we have seen lower occupancy and throughput volume across our network. Over the long-term, we believe that end-consumer demand will remain consistent with historic levels. To optimize our global warehousing network andbut maximizea NOI, we review our operationsreturn to determinemore whethernormal itseasonal isinventory beneficial to reposition or temporarily idle existing warehouses or consolidate existing operations. If such actions are taken, we strive to relocate customers affected by such activities into other warehouses in our global warehousing network.patterns.
Occupancy, throughput, and related ancillary services are also impacted by import and export activity, and we have seen notable impacts due to tariffs and trade policies. As trade agreements were reached, we saw stabilization in our customers’ business, and end-consumer demand became consistent with historic levels. Additionally, in recent years, new supply of temperature-controlled warehousing capacity has come online, which continues to impact occupancy and throughput in certain markets with excess capacity, although new supply coming online is expected to decline from recent levels in 2026. To optimize our global warehousing network and maximize NOI, we review our operations to determine whether it is beneficial to reposition or temporarily idle existing warehouses or consolidate existing operations. If such actions are taken, we strive to relocate customers affected by such activities into other warehouses in our global warehousing network.
•Power Costs. Following increased power costs in prior years, particularly in our European operations, our power costs in 2023 and 2024 have stabilized. We have generally been able to pass increased power costs through to our customers, mitigating the impact of such cost increases on our operating results.
We evaluate the performance of our business segments based on their net operating income relative to our overall results of operations. We use the term “segment net operating income” or “segment NOI” to mean a segment’s revenues less its cost of operations (excluding any depreciation and amortization, impairment charges, general and administrative expenses,expense, stock-based compensation expense,expense and related employer-paid payroll taxes from grants under our equity incentive plans, restructuring and impairment expense, gainsgain and lossesloss on sale of assets, and acquisition, transaction, and other expensesexpense). We use segment NOI to evaluate our segments for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing performance in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280, Segment Reporting.
Acquired properties will be included in the “same warehouse” population if owned or leased by us as of the first business day of the prior calendar year and still owned by us as of the end of the current reporting period, unless the property is under development. The “same warehouse” pool can also be adjusted during the year to remove properties that were soldsold, entering development, or enteringin developmentoperational transition subsequent to the beginning of the current calendar year. As such, the “same warehouse” population for the period ended December 31, 20242025 includes all properties that we owned as of January 1, 20232024 which had both been owned and had reached “normalized operations” by January 1, 2023.2024.
We calculate “same warehouse NOI” as revenues for the same warehouse population less its cost of operations (excluding any depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses,expense, stock-based compensation expense,expense and related employer-paid payroll taxes from grants under our equity incentive plans, restructuring and impairment expense, gainsgain and lossesloss on sale of assets, and acquisition, transaction, and other expense). We evaluate the performance of the warehouses we own, lease, or manage using a “same warehouse” analysis, and we believe that same warehouse NOI is helpful to investors as a supplemental performance measure because it includes the operating performance from the population of properties that is consistent from period to period, thereby eliminating the effects of changes in the composition of our warehouse portfolio on performance measures.

We calculate total segment NOI (or “NOI”) as our total revenues less our cost of operations (excluding any depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expense, stock-based compensation expense,expense and related employer-paid payroll taxes from grants under our equity incentive plans, restructuring and impairment expense, gain and loss on sale of assets, and acquisition, transaction, and other expense.expense). We use segment NOI to evaluate our segments for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing performance in accordance with ASC 280, Segment Reporting. We believe segment NOI is helpful to investors as a supplemental performance measure to net income because it assists both investors and management in understanding the core operations of our business. There is no industry definition of segment NOI and, as a result, other REITs may calculate segment NOI or other similarly-captioned metrics in a manner different than we do.
We calculate EBITDA as net income or loss determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, net, and income tax expense or benefit.
We also calculate EBITDA for Real Estate, or “EBITDAre”, in accordance with the standards established by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or “NAREIT”, defined as earningsEBITDA beforefurther interestadjusted income or expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization,for net loss or gain on sale of real estate,estate assets, net of withholding taxes, impairment write-downs onof real estate property,assets, and adjustments to reflect our share of EBITDAre for partially owned entities. EBITDAre is a measure commonly used in our industry, and we present EBITDAre to enhance investor understanding of our operating performance. We believe that EBITDAre provides investors and analysts with a measure of operating results unaffected by differences in capital structures, capital investment cycles, and useful life of related assets among otherwise comparable companies.
WeIn alsoaddition, we calculate our Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDAre further adjusted for the effects of gain or loss on the sale of non-real estate assets, gain or loss on the destruction of property (net of insurance proceeds), other nonoperating income or expense, acquisition, restructuring, and other expense, foreign currency exchange gain or loss, stock-based compensation expense,expense and related employer-paid payroll taxes from grants under our equity incentive plans, loss or gain on debt extinguishment and modification, impairmentimpairments of investmentsgoodwill inand other non-real estate,estate assets including intangible assets, technology transformation, and reduction in EBITDAre from partially owned entities. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides a measurement of our operations that is meaningful to investors because it excludes the effects of certain items that are otherwise included in EBITDAre butEBITDAre, which we do not believe are indicative of our core business operations. EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements of financial performance under GAAP, and our EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. You should not consider our EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDA as alternatives to net income or cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. Our calculations of EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, including the following:

We are the world’s largest global temperature-controlled warehouse REIT, with a modern and strategically located network of properties. Our business is competitively positioned to deliver a seamless end-to-end, technology-enabled experience for a well-diversified and stable customer base, each with their own unique requirements in the temperature-controlled supply chain. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we operated an interconnected global temperature-controlled warehouse network, comprising approximately 8887 million square feet and 3.1 billion cubic feet of capacity across 500498 warehouses predominantly located in densely populated critical-distribution markets, with 325323 in North America, 89 in Asia-Pacific, and 86 in Europe.
We view,analyze manage,the andresults report onof our businessoperations through twothe following segments:
•Global warehousing,Warehousing which- This segment utilizes our high-quality industrial real estate properties to provide temperature-controlled warehousing storage and services to our customers; and
•Global integratedIntegrated solutions,Solutions which- This segment complements warehousingGlobal Warehousing with supplyspecialized chaincold-chain services to facilitate the movement of products through the food supply chainchain, to generatecreate cost savings for customers and generate additional revenue streams for our company.Company.
Our second-largest cost of operations is power utilized in the operation of our temperature-controlled warehouses. We may, from time to time, hedge our exposure to changes in power prices through fixed rate agreements. In addition, to the extent possible and appropriate, we may seek to mitigate or offset the impact of fluctuations in the price of power on our financial results through rate escalations or power surcharge provisions within our agreements with customers. We also look to implement energy saving alternatives to reduce energy consumption, including the installation of solar panels, state of the art refrigeration control systems, LED lighting, thermal energy storage, motion-sensor technology, variable frequency drives for our fans and compressors, and rapid open/close doors. Additionally, business mix impacts our power expense depending on the temperature zone and type and frequency of freezing required (e.g., blast freezing). Other warehouse costs include utilities other than power, insurance, real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, rent under real property operating leases where applicable, equipment costs, warehouse consumables (e.g., pallets and shrink-wrap), personal protective equipment, warehouse administration, and other related facility and services costs.

Revenues. Our integratedGlobal solutionsIntegrated Solutions segment revenues are primarily driven by transportation fees, which may also include fuel and capacity surcharges, to our customers for whom we arrange the transportation of their products. Within transportation, which is the largest component of our global integrated solutions segment, our core focus areas are multi-vendor less-than-full-truckload consolidation, drayage services to and from ports, transportation brokerage, and freight forwarding. We also provide rail transportation services and, in select markets, foodservice distribution and e-commerce fulfillment services.
Cost of operations. Our globalGlobal integratedIntegrated solutionsSolutions cost of operations consists primarily of third-party carrier charges, which are impacted by factors affecting those carriers, including truck and ocean liner capacity and driver and equipment availability in certain markets.availability. Additionally, in certain markets we employ drivers and operate assets to serve our customers. Costs to operate these assets include wages (excluding stock-based compensation), fuel, tolls, insurance, and maintenance.
Depreciation and amortization expenses.expense. Our depreciation and amortization expensesexpense result primarily from the capital-intensive nature of our business. The principal components of depreciation relate to our warehouses, both owned and leased, including buildings and improvements, refrigeration equipment, racking, leasehold improvements, material handling equipment, furniture and fixtures, our computer hardware, and internal use software. We also incur depreciation related to owned transportation assets. Amortization relates primarily to intangible assets for customer relationships and finance lease right-of-use assets.
General and administrative expenses.expense. Our general and administrative expensesexpense consistconsists primarily of costs associated with the administration of our globalGlobal warehousingWarehousing and globalGlobal integratedIntegrated solutionsSolutions segments, including management wages and benefits, administrative, legal, business development, project management, sales, marketing, engineering, safety and compliance, food optimization, human resources, finance, accounting, network optimization, data science, and information technology personnel, transformational information technology expenses, equity incentive plans, communications and data processing, travel, professional fees, credit loss, training, office equipment, supplies, and transition services fees paid to Bay Grove for certain operating, strategic development, and financial services while we internalize such functions in the three years post-IPO. Trends in general and administrative expenses are influenced by changes in headcount and compensation levels and achievement of incentive compensation targets.
Acquisition, transaction, and other expenses.expense. Our acquisition, transaction, and other expensesexpense consistconsists of costs with a high level of variability from period-to-period and include professional fees associated with planned and completed business expansion activities, and acquisition integration costs. In addition, it includes expenses associated with our IPO, including costs related to public company readiness efforts and costs incurred as a result of our IPO in the third quarter of 2024. It also includes legal and administrative costs associated with filing of other registration statements, and expenses incurred in connection with the coordinated settlement process that will occur for up to three years post-IPO for all legacy investors in BGLH. These costs are expensed as incurred. Employee-related expenses also include costs associated with acquisitions, such as acquisition-related severance and consulting agreements and certain cash-based incentive awards given to employees of legacy companies in acquisitions.
Restructuring, impairment, and (gain) loss on disposals. Our restructuring, impairment, and (gain) loss on disposals include certain contractual and negotiated severance and separation costs from exited former executives, costs related to reductions in headcount to achieve operational efficiencies, and costs associated with exiting non-strategic operations. We record such costs when there is a substantive plan for employee severance or employees are otherwise entitled to benefits (e.g., in case of one-time terminations) and related costs are probable and estimable. It also includes gains (losses) on dispositions of property, plant, and equipment and impairments of long-lived assets, net of related gains on insurance recoveries, excluding impairments of goodwill. This includes costs incurred as a result of property damage events, such as fires, including impairment and other asset write-offs, cleanup and remediation costs, and legal and administrative fees, net of any gains on insurance recoveries.
•Occupancy and Throughput. After a period of inventory adjustments from our customers over the last few years, we are seeing our occupancy levels stabilize and a return to more normal seasonal inventory patterns. Occupancy, throughput, and related ancillary services were also impacted by evolving tariff and trade policies. As trade agreements were reached, we saw stabilization in our customers’ business, and end-consumer demand became consistent with historic levels. Additionally, in recent years, new supply of temperature-controlled warehousing capacity has come online in select markets, which continues to impact occupancy and throughput in those markets with excess capacity. We expectare seeing slowdown in new supply coming online in 2026 to slow compared to recent years. To optimize our globalGlobal warehousingWarehousing network and maximize NOI, we review our operations to determine whether it is beneficial to reposition or temporarily idle existing warehouses or consolidate existing operations. When such actions are taken, we strive to relocate customers affected by such activities into other warehouses in our globalGlobal warehousingWarehousing network.
We evaluate the performance of our business segments based on their net operating income relative to our overall results of operations. We use the term “segment net operating income” or “segment NOI” to mean a segment’s revenues less its cost of operations (excluding any depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expense, stock-based compensation expense and related employer-paid payroll taxes from grants under our equity incentive plans, restructuring and impairment expense, gain and loss on sale of assets, and acquisition, transaction, and other expense). We use segment NOI to evaluate our segments for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing performance in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280, Segment Reporting.
We also analyze the “segment NOI margin” forto eachevaluate the performance of our business segments, which we calculate as segment NOI divided by segment revenues.
In addition to segment NOI, we further evaluate the performance of our Global Warehousing segment using a “same warehouse” analysis, which isolates the operating performance of a consistent population of warehouses from period to period. We define our “same warehouse” population annually at the beginning of the calendar year. Our same warehouse population includes properties that were owned, leased, or managed for the entirety of two comparable periods and that have reported at least twelve months of consecutive normalized operations prior to January 1 of the current calendar year. We define “normalized operations” as properties that have been open for operation or lease after development or significant modification, including the expansion of a warehouse footprint or a warehouse rehabilitation subsequent to an event, such as a natural disaster or similar event causing disruption to operations. In addition, our definition of “normalized operations” takes into account changes in the ownership structure (e.g., purchase of a previously leased warehouse would result in a change in the nature of expenditures in the compared periods), which would impact comparability in our globalGlobal warehousingWarehousing segment NOI.
Acquired properties will be included in the “same warehouse” population if owned or leased by us as of the first business day of the prior calendar year and still owned by us as of the end of the current reporting period, unless the property is under development. The “same warehouse” pool can also be adjusted during the year to remove properties that were sold, entering development, or in operational transition subsequent to the beginning of the current calendar year. As such, the “same warehouse” population for the period ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 includes all properties that we owned as of January 1, 2025 which had both been owned and had reached “normalized operations” by January 1, 2025.
The following table shows the composition of our warehouse portfolio as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026.
The following discussion represents our analysis of results of operations for the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 as compared to the three and six months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025.

Restructuring, impairment, and (gain) loss on disposals. Restructuring, impairment, and (gain) loss on disposals were a net gain of $4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, a decrease of $7 million compared to net expenses of $3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to $7 million of estimated lease exit costs related to a previously acquired facility that were incurred in the three months ended June 30, 2025 and did not recur in 2026, a $5 million decrease in severance costs, and a $3 million favorable impact from fixed asset disposal activity, partially offset by $8 million of impairment loss and legal and administrative fees related to a fire that occurred in our Los Angeles, California warehouse in June 2026. For further detail related to the Los Angeles, California warehouse fire, see Note 15, Commitments and contingencies in our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.
Restructuring, impairment, and (gain) loss on disposals. Restructuring, impairment, and (gain) loss on disposals were net loss of $3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to a net gain of $21 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The change primarily related to a decrease in net gains associated with a fire that occurred in April 2024 at the Company’s warehouse in Kennewick, Washington, further discussed below. In addition, there was a $6 million increase in severance expense.
The three months ended March 31, 2026 included a net gain of $3 million related to the Kennewick, Washington fire, while three months ended March 31, 2025 included a net gain of $24 million related to the fire, both driven by insurance recoveries received during the period (see Note 15, Commitments and contingencies in our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for details).
The following table presents other items of income and expense for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025.
Interest expense, net. We reported net interest expense of $87 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, an increase of $20 million, or 29.9%, compared to $67 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, primarily driven by a decrease in income generated from hedging instruments, the increase of average debt balances, and the extension of our debt maturity via the issuance of new senior unsecured notes in 2025. The impact driven by the aforementioned factors was partially offset by decreases in benchmark interest rates determining the interest rates on our variable-rate debt.
Interest (expense), net. We reported net interest expense of $84 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $24 million, or 40.0%, compared to $60 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, due to an increase in average debt balances, primarily due to the New senior unsecured notes issued in 2025, and a decrease in income (expense) generated from hedging instruments, partially offset by decreases in benchmark interest rates that determine the interest rates on our variable-rate debt. The average effective interest rate of our outstanding debt was 3.9%4.3% for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, athe decreasesame fromas 4.3% for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025.

For additional information regarding our net interest expense, see Note 10, Interest expense in our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.
Gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions, net. We reporteddid not recognize a significant gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to a net foreign currency exchange gain of $3$26 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31, 2026 compared to a net gain of $16 million for the three months ended March 31,30, 2025. The decrease in gain on foreign currency exchange gain was due to changesmovements in foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar, with the largest impactsprimarily driven by the euro.

We reporteddid $3not millionrecognize ofsignificant netincome (loss) from equity method investments for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, compared to a net lossincome of $4$3 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025. The net loss in both periods was primarily related to our investment in Emergent Cold LatAm Holdings, LLC.
Other nonoperating income (expense), net. We reported $1 million of other nonoperating income for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to income of less than a million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Income tax expensebenefit for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 was $4$1 million, which represented a decrease of $4$6 million from an income tax expensebenefit of $8$7 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2025. The tax expense in 2026 and 2025 was principally the result of the tax-effect of pre-tax earnings in various jurisdictions, nondeductible expensesexpenses, including stock-based compensation and interest expense, and financial statement losses for which no tax benefit was recognized.
