Concurrently announced plans to build a new, approximately 15 million cubic foot state-of-the-art temperature-controlled storage facility in Savannah, Georgia

Fred Boehler, President and Chief Executive Officer of Americold Realty Trust, stated, “We made strong progress to start 2019 as we leveraged our unique position as the world’s largest and only publicly traded REIT focused on the ownership, operation and development of temperature-controlled warehouses. We continue to drive internal growth through the steady execution of our business. Our core operations remain strong, and fundamentals within the industry remain extremely favorable as we look ahead.

We completed our first sizable, strategic acquisition by acquiring privately-held Cloverleaf Cold Storage, which added 22 mission critical, turnkey facilities in key protein markets in a transaction that is immediately accretive to our financial results. This was a rare opportunity to leverage our cost of capital and add complimentary scale, which positions us to create value with the full integration onto our proprietary Americold Operating System. We also completed a "tuck-in" acquisition of two additional facilities through our acquisition of Lanier Cold Storage. With these acquisitions complete, our total network now exceeds one billion refrigerated cubic feet. Further, our plans to expand our key Atlanta major market campus, including the addition of fully and semi-automated facilities and in combination with our acquisition and development in Savannah, will enhance our efficiency and further grow capacity, allowing us to better serve current and new customers.”

Mr. Boehler continued, “Finally, to fund this transformational growth, we were pleased with our successful follow on offering in April and debt private placement in May. We are very proud of our team’s hard work during this busy start to the year, and believe these transactions position us to drive shareholder value for years to come.”

First Quarter 2019 Total Company Financial Results

Total revenue for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019 was $393.1 million, a 0.5% increase from the same quarter of the prior year, or a 2.8% increase on a constant currency basis. This growth was largely driven by net new business, improvements in commercial terms and contractual rate escalations, the maturation of the Clearfield, Utah facility, the opening of the build-to-suit facility in Middleboro, Massachusetts at the end of the third quarter of 2018, and the incremental revenue associated with the PortFresh acquisition in January 2019, all within the Global Warehouse segment. These factors were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates, the exit of two sites in the second quarter of 2018, the impact of one less business day in the first quarter of 2019 as compared to the first quarter of 2018, and the later timing of the Easter holiday in 2019.

For the first quarter of 2019, the Company reported a net loss of $4.6 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $8.6 million for the same quarter of the prior year. Net loss for the current quarter included the impact of approximately $12.6 million of asset impairment charges stemming from the announcement of its Atlanta Major Market Strategy, which includes the redevelopment of an existing facility, and the potential future sale of an idle facility during the second quarter of 2019.

Total contribution (NOI) for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019 was $98.7 million, an increase of 1.4% from the same quarter of the prior year, or a 3.0% increase on a constant currency basis.

Core EBITDA was $71.1 million for the first quarter of 2019, compared to $71.7 million for the same quarter of the prior year. This reflects a 0.8% decrease over prior year largely impacted by unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates and year-over-year higher workers' compensation and healthcare costs. As a result, Core EBITDA margin contracted by 24.3 basis points to 18.1%. On a constant currency basis, Core EBITDA was $72.2 million, an increase of $0.5 million or 0.7%.

For the first quarter of 2019, Core FFO was $39.9 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared to $34.8 million for same quarter of the prior year. The year-over-year increase is driven primarily by the decrease in interest expense as a result of the reduction in our weighted average contractual rate of real estate debt.

For the first quarter of 2019, AFFO was $44.3 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, compared to $39.9 million for same quarter of the prior year. AFFO excludes certain expenses and income items that do not represent core expenses and income streams.

First Quarter 2019 Global Warehouse Segment Results

For the first quarter of 2019, Global Warehouse segment revenues were $289.6 million, an increase of $3.1 million, or 1.1%, compared to $286.5 million for the first quarter of 2018. This growth was primarily driven by the same factors mentioned above.

Warehouse segment contribution (NOI) was $90.8 million, or 31.4% of segment revenue, for the first quarter of 2019, compared to $89.6 million, or 31.3% of segment revenue, for the prior year. This represents a 1.4% improvement in segment profitability over the first quarter of 2018 and an expansion of 10 basis points in segment margin period-over-period. As previously mentioned, growth was largely impacted by unfavorable foreign currency exchange rates and the later timing of Easter in 2019 as compared to 2018. Additionally, the year-over-year profit growth was strained by higher workers' compensation and health care costs. As a reminder, during the first quarter of 2018, the Company had a $1 million benefit related to workers' compensation. Despite these items, the year-over-year growth was driven by the aforementioned revenue trends, combined with operating efficiency gains driven by power savings and the leveraging of its fixed expenses.

The Company ended the first quarter of 2019 with 144 total facilities in its Global Warehouse segment portfolio. Of the 144 total facilities, 137 meet the Company’s definition of facilities with at least 24 months of consecutive "normalized operations" and are reported as "same store." The remaining seven facilities are in various stages of operations and are classified as "non-same store."

The following tables summarize the first quarter 2019 Global Warehouse full segment and same store metrics compared to the same period a year ago:

(1) The adjustments from our U.S. GAAP operating results to calculate our operating results on a constant currency basis are the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates relative to the comparable prior period.

Fixed Commitment Rent and Storage Revenue

For the first quarter of 2019, 43.0% of rent and storage revenues are derived from customers with fixed commitment storage contracts, an increase of 20 basis points from the fourth quarter 2018 and 410 basis points over the first quarter of 2018.

Economic and Physical Occupancy

Contracts that contain fixed commitments are designed to ensure the Company's customers have space available when needed. At times, these customers may be paying for space that is not physically occupied. For the first quarter of 2019, economic occupancy for the total warehouse segment was 78.8% and warehouse segment same store pool was 78.6%, representing a 420 basis point and 424 basis point increase above physical occupancy, respectively. For the first quarter of 2019, physical occupancy for the total warehouse segment was 74.6% and warehouse segment same store pool was 74.3%.

Real Estate Portfolio

The Company's real estate portfolio consists of 155 facilities as of March 31, 2019. During the first quarter of 2019, it purchased privately-held PortFresh Holdings, LLC, consisting of a temperature-controlled operator servicing fresh produce trade through the Port of Savannah and 163 acres of entitled land, for approximately $35.9 million, which it funded with available cash. Concurrently, the Company announced plans to build a new, approximately 15 million cubic foot state-of-the-art temperature-controlled storage facility in Savannah, Georgia with anticipated development spending of $55 to $65 million. Within the Third-Party Managed segment the management agreement for one facility that the Company operated expired and was not renewed during the first quarter of 2019.

The Company's same store population consists of 137 facilities as of March 31, 2019. During the first quarter of 2019, two warehouses were moved from the non-same store population to the same-store population as a result of achieving normalized operations. One of these sites was acquired and redeveloped in 2016, and one of these sites experienced an event in 2015 that resulted in an extended period of business interruption. Finally, one warehouse was reclassified from the same store to the non-same store population in anticipation of its lease expiration in the third quarter of 2019, which the Company does not intend to renew as part of its ongoing portfolio management and focus to own assets. As a result of this activity, the Company's non-same store population consists of seven facilities as of March 31, 2019.

Balance Sheet Activity and Liquidity

At March 31, 2019, the Company had total liquidity of approximately $943.6 million, including cash and capacity on its revolving credit facility. Total debt outstanding was $1.52 billion (inclusive of $159.1 million of capital leases/sale lease-backs and exclusive of deferred financing fees and unamortized debt discounts), of which 71% was in an unsecured structure. The Company has no material debt maturities until 2022, assuming the one-year extension option is exercised on its revolver. At quarter end, its net debt to Core EBITDA was approximately 4.4x. Of the Company's total debt outstanding, $1.36 billion relates to real estate debt, which excludes sale-leaseback and capitalized lease obligations. The Company's real estate debt has a weighted average term of 6.1 years and carries a weighted average contractual interest rate of 4.66%. At March 31, 2019, 75% of the Company's total debt outstanding was at a fixed rate, inclusive of the $100 million interest rate swap on its term loan that was entered into during the first quarter of 2019.

Dividend

On March 7, 2019, the Company's Board of Trustees declared a dividend of $0.20 per share for the first quarter of 2019, which was paid on April 15, 2019 to common shareholders of record as of March 29, 2019.

2019 Outlook

The Company has revised select 2019 guidance based upon the impact of acquisitions, announced development, and capital markets activity completed subsequent to quarter end:

• Global warehouse segment same store revenue growth to range between 2 and 4 percent on a constant currency basis and same store NOI growth to be 100 to 200 basis points higher than the associated revenue.
• Selling, general, and administrative expense, as a percentage of total revenue, is expected to range between 6.8 and 7.2 percent.
• Total recurring maintenance capital expenditures is expected in the range of $56 to $66 million.
• Total growth and expansion capital expenditures is expected to aggregate in a range of $275 to $350 million, which includes spending related to the Company's announced projects in Chicago, IL, Savannah, GA, Australia, and Atlanta, GA as well as the three expansions associated with Cloverleaf.
• Anticipated AFFO payout ratio of 67 to 70 percent.
• Full year weighted average fully diluted share count of 182 to 186 million shares.

We view and manage our business through three primary business segments—warehouse, third-party managed and transportation. Our core business is our warehouse segment, where we provide temperature-controlled warehouse storage and related handling and other warehouse services. In our warehouse segment, we collect rent and storage fees from customers to store their frozen and perishable food and other products within our real estate portfolio. We also provide our customers with handling and other warehouse services related to the products stored in our buildings that are designed to optimize their movement through the cold chain, such as the placement of food products for storage and preservation, the retrieval of products from storage upon customer request, blast freezing, case-picking, kitting and repackaging and other recurring handling services.

Under our third-party managed segment, we manage warehouses on behalf of third parties and provide warehouse management services to several leading food retailers and manufacturers in customer-owned facilities, including some of our largest and longest-standing customers. We believe using our third-party management services allows our customers to increase efficiency, reduce costs, reduce supply-chain risks and focus on their core businesses. We also believe that providing third-party management services to many of our key customers underscores our ability to offer a complete and integrated suite of services across the cold chain.

In our transportation segment, we broker and manage transportation of frozen and perishable food and other products for our customers. Our transportation services include consolidation services (i.e., consolidating a customer’s products with those of other customers for more efficient shipment), freight under management services (i.e., arranging for and overseeing transportation of customer inventory) and dedicated transportation services, each designed to improve efficiency and reduce transportation and logistics costs to our customers. We provide these transportation services at cost plus a service fee or, in the case of our consolidation services, we charge a fixed fee.

We also operate a limestone quarry on the land we own around our Carthage, Missouri warehouse, which contains substantial limestone deposits. We do not view the operation of the quarry as an integral part of our business.

Notes and Definitions

We calculate funds from operations, or FFO, in accordance with the standards established by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT. NAREIT defines FFO as net income or loss determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding extraordinary items as defined under U.S. GAAP and gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, plus specified non-cash items, such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We believe that FFO is helpful to investors as a supplemental performance measure because it excludes the effect of depreciation, amortization and gains or losses from sales of real estate, all of which are based on historical costs, which implicitly assumes that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, FFO can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and among other equity REITs.

We calculate core funds from operations, or Core FFO, as FFO adjusted for the effects of gain or loss on the sale of non-real estate assets, non-offering related equity issuance expenses, non-recurring public company implementation costs, acquisition, diligence and integration related costs, stock compensation - IPO grants, severance, reduction in workforce costs and equity acceleration, terminated site operations costs, litigation and other related settlement costs, loss on debt extinguishment and modifications, foreign currency exchange gain or loss, excise tax settlement, and Alternative Minimum Tax receivable from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act benefit. 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.

However, because FFO and Core FFO add back real estate depreciation and amortization and do not capture the level of recurring maintenance capital expenditures necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, both of which have material economic impacts on our results from operations, we believe the utility of FFO and Core FFO as a measure of our performance may be limited.

We calculate adjusted funds from operations, or Adjusted FFO, as Core FFO adjusted for the effects of amortization of loan costs, debt discounts and above or below market leases, straight-line rent, provision or benefit from deferred income taxes, stock-based compensation expense from grants of stock options and restricted stock units under our equity incentive plans, non-real estate depreciation, depletion or amortization (including in respect of the China JV), and recurring maintenance capital expenditures. We believe that Adjusted FFO is helpful to investors as a meaningful supplemental comparative performance measure of our ability to make incremental capital investments in our business and to assess our ability to fund distribution requirements from our operating activities.

FFO, Core FFO and Adjusted FFO are used by management, investors and industry analysts as supplemental measures of operating performance of equity REITs. FFO, Core FFO and Adjusted FFO should be evaluated along with U.S. GAAP net income and net income per diluted share (the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures) in evaluating our operating performance. FFO, Core FFO and Adjusted FFO do not represent net income or cash flows from operating activities in accordance with U.S. GAAP and are not indicative of our results of operations or cash flows from operating activities as disclosed in our consolidated statements of operations included in our annual and quarterly reports. FFO, Core FFO and Adjusted FFO should be considered as supplements, but not alternatives, to our net income or cash flows from operating activities as indicators of our operating performance. Moreover, other REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition or may interpret the NAREIT definition differently than we do. Accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to FFO as calculated by other REITs. In addition, there is no industry definition of Core FFO or Adjusted FFO and, as a result, other REITs may also calculate Core FFO or Adjusted FFO, or other similarly-captioned metrics, in a manner different than we do. The table above reconciles FFO, Core FFO and Adjusted FFO to net income, which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

We calculate EBITDA for Real Estate, or EBITDAre, in accordance with the standards established by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, defined as, earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, gains or losses on disposition of depreciated property, including gains or losses on change of control, impairment write-downs of depreciated property and of investments in unconsolidated affiliates caused by a decrease in value of depreciated property in the affiliate, and adjustment to reflect share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated affiliates. 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.

We also calculate our Core EBITDA as EBITDAre further adjusted for impairment charges on intangible and long-lived assets, loss or gain on disposal of depreciated property, severance, reduction in workforce costs and equity acceleration, terminated site operations costs, non-offering related equity issuance expenses, non-recurring public company implementation costs, acquisition, diligence, and integration costs, litigation and other related settlement costs, strategic alternative costs, loss on debt extinguishment, modification and termination of derivative instruments, stock-based compensation expense, foreign currency exchange gain or loss, multiemployer pension obligation, loss on partially owned entities, and reduction in EBITDAre from partially owned entities. We believe that the presentation of Core 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 but which we do not believe are indicative of our core business operations. EBITDAre and Core EBITDA are not measurements of financial performance under U.S. GAAP, and our EBITDAre and Core EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. You should not consider our EBITDAre and Core EBITDA as alternatives to net income or cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our calculations of EBITDAre and Core EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, including:

• these measures do not reflect our historical or future cash requirements for recurring maintenance capital expenditures or growth and expansion capital expenditures;
• these measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
• these measures do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our indebtedness;
• these measures do not reflect our tax expense or the cash requirements to pay our taxes; and
• although depreciation, depletion and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated, depleted and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future and these measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.
