Americold Realty Trust reports Q2 AFFO EPS 28c, consensus 26c

Reports Q2 revenue $649.61M, consensus $693.55M. George Chappelle, CEO of Americold Realty Trust, Inc., stated, “We are pleased with our second quarter results where we delivered AFFO per share of $0.28. This performance was primarily driven by our global warehouse same store pool, which generated revenue growth of 3.9% and NOI growth of 13.8%, versus prior year, both on a constant currency basis. Our strong same-store pool results were driven by meaningful economic occupancy growth and our continued pricing initiatives. Our same store economic occupancy increased by 687 basis points over prior year to 84.8%, a record-setting, second quarter level. Additionally, this quarter, we derived 48.5% of rent and storage revenue from fixed commitment storage contracts, which is another record-setting level for Americold.”
