Part I

Item 1. Business

Overview

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, customer experience for thousands of customers, each with their own unique requirements in the temperature-controlled supply chain. As of December 31, 2025, we operated an interconnected global temperature-controlled warehouse network, comprising approximately 88 million square feet and 3.1 billion cubic feet of capacity across 501 warehouses predominantly located in densely populated critical-distribution markets, with 326 in North America, 89 in Asia-Pacific, and 86 in Europe. We have a well-diversified and stable customer base and currently serve more than 11,000 customers that include household names of the largest food retailers, manufacturers, processors, and food service distributors in the industry. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we generated $5.4 billion of revenue, $0.1 billion of net loss, $1.7 billion of net operating income (“NOI”) and $1.3 billion of Adjusted EBITDA. For definitions of NOI and Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) and reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, refer to the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of this Annual Report.

Recent Acquisitions, Greenfields, and Expansions Highlights

During the year ended December 31, 2025, we acquired four cold storage warehouses and other related assets from Tyson Foods for $256 million. Additionally, we entered into an agreement to design, build, and operate two fully automated cold storage warehouses, with Tyson Foods as the anchor customer. In the second half of the year, we broke ground on the construction of one of these fully automated warehouses in Texas. In 2025, we also completed a new greenfield warehouse in Bremerhaven, Germany, and were near completion of a notable expansion at our Hobart, Indiana cold storage facility, which began operating in early 2026.

Our Business Segments

We view, manage, and report on our business through two segments:

•Global warehousing, which utilizes our high-quality industrial real estate properties to provide temperature-controlled warehousing storage and services to our customers and which represented approximately 86% of our total NOI for the year ended December 31, 2025; and

•Global integrated solutions, which complements warehousing with supply chain services to facilitate the movement of products through the food supply chain to generate cost savings for customers and additional revenue streams for our company and which represented approximately 14% of our total NOI for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Global Warehousing Segment

The backbone of our business is our mission-critical network of sophisticated, modern, and strategically-located temperature-controlled warehouses.

Facilities in the Global Warehousing Segment

The following table provides information regarding the temperature-controlled warehouses in our global warehousing segment that we owned, leased, or managed in each of the regions in which we operated as of, or for the year ended, December 31, 2025.


Region	Number of Warehouses	Cubic feet (in millions)	Percent of total cubic feet		Pallets positions (in thousands)	Average economic occupancy		Average physical occupancy		Revenues (in millions)		Segment NOI (in millions)
North America	307	2,191	71.4	%	6,783	79.8	%	71.8	%	$	2,898	$	1,129
Europe	86	638	20.8	%	2,715	83.6	%	81.9	%	687		228
Asia-Pacific	89	238	7.8	%	1,004	81.6	%	77.6	%	365		127
Average/Total (1)	482	3,067	100.0	%	10,502	81.0	%	75.1	%	$	3,950	$	1,484

(1) Excludes 19 warehouses in our global integrated solutions segment. We categorize warehouses as part of our global integrated solutions segment if the primary business conducted in those warehouses is within our global integrated solutions segment.

As of December 31, 2025, the cubic-foot weighted average age of our portfolio was approximately 22 years, which we believe is significantly younger than that of the broader temperature-controlled industry. In addition, many of our warehouses may operate in a way that is functionally younger than their age given the substantial investments or refurbishments we have made that do not factor into the age calculation in areas such as maintenance, automation, energy efficiency, and sustainability. We believe we also have the largest automated temperature-controlled portfolio with 83 automated warehouses, 25 of which are fully automated and 58 of which are semi-automated.

Our Warehouse Types

As of December 31, 2025, we owned, operated, leased, and managed multiple types of temperature-controlled warehouses across our global network, which we group into four types: distribution, public, production advantaged, and managed warehouses.

•Distribution centers are warehouses that typically store products for multiple customers often in or near difficult to duplicate metropolitan, infill, or port locations.

•Public warehouses are warehouses that typically store products for multiple customers usually outside metropolitan and infill locations.

•Production advantaged warehouses are warehouses adjacent to or near customer production facilities.

•Managed warehouses are warehouses owned or leased by the customer for which we manage the warehouse operations on their behalf.


Warehouse Type	Cubic Feet (in millions)	Pallet Positions (in thousands)	Number of Warehouses	Segment NOI (in millions) (2)		Percentage of Total NOI (2)
Distribution	2,139	7,021	290	$	1,113	75.0	%
Public	540	2,139	139	186		12.5	%
Production Advantaged	270	1,099	40	158		10.7	%
Managed /Other	118	243	13	27		1.8	%
Total (1)	3,067	10,502	482	$	1,484	100	%

(1) Excludes 19 warehouses in our global integrated solutions segment. We categorize warehouses as part of our global integrated solutions segment if the primary business conducted in those warehouses is within our global integrated solutions segment.
(2) For the year ended December 31, 2025.

Our broad network of warehouses is weighted towards high population density markets and port locations, with a weighted average population density of approximately 3,000 persons per square mile and 248 port warehouses across our network. We define a warehouse as a port warehouse if it is within 30 miles of a port that performs commercial or trade-related activity.

Geographic Diversification

We believe our geographic diversification provides additional stability through exposure to various markets and balancing different seasonality profiles. The United States comprised 68% of our global warehousing segment revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025, and within the United States, we are present in 36 states. Our portfolio includes locations in top metropolitan statistical areas with high population density, ports with significant global trade, transportation hubs with significant domestic trade, and critical food production areas.

Commodity Diversification

We store a wide variety of frozen and perishable food and other products in our temperature-controlled warehouses, such as seafood, packaged foods, proteins, fruits and vegetables, and dairy, at all stages of production from processing of raw materials to assembly of finished products. The diversity of the product mix in our temperature-controlled warehouses helps insulate us from commodity volatility, shifts in consumer preferences, and other macro-economic forces. The following chart sets forth information concerning the types of commodities that our customers store in our warehouses based on a percentage of our global warehousing segment revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Commodity Type as Percentage of Global Warehousing Segment Revenue

Our Customer Contracts

Our global warehousing segment revenues are generated from storing frozen and perishable food and other products and providing related warehouse services for our customers. Storage revenues relate to the act of storing products for our customers within our warehouses. Warehouse services fees relate to handling and other services required to prepare and move customers’ pallets into, out of, and around the facilities. We utilize several types of contracts with our customers for use of space within our warehouses, depending upon the individual needs and characteristics of each customer. Refer to Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in this Annual Report for detailed descriptions of our typical contractual arrangements.

Occupancy of our Warehouses

Economic and physical occupancy of an individual warehouse is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of warehouse (i.e., distribution, public, production advantaged, or managed), specific customer needs in the markets served by the warehouse, competitors in the market, timing of harvests or protein production for customers of the warehouse, the existence of leased but unoccupied pallet positions, and the effect of weather or market conditions on the customers of the warehouse. On a portfolio-wide basis, economic and physical occupancy rates and warehouse revenues generally peak between mid-September and early December in connection with the holiday season and the peak harvest season in the northern hemisphere. Economic and physical occupancy rates and warehouse revenues on a portfolio-wide basis are generally the lowest during June and July.

Throughput at our Warehouses

Ownership of our Real Estate

As of December 31, 2025, we owned approximately 80% of our global warehousing portfolio as a percentage of square feet, including real estate for which we possess bargain purchase options and buildings on sites where we have ground leases, and we leased or managed approximately 20% of our global warehousing portfolio as a percentage of square feet.

Our Global Integrated Solutions Segment

Our global integrated solutions segment provides our customers with solutions to move products through the food supply chain. We operate several critical and value-added temperature-controlled business lines within our global integrated solutions segment, including, among others, transportation and refrigerated rail car leasing. Within transportation, which is the largest area within our global integrated solutions segment, our core focus areas are multi-vendor less-than-full-truckload consolidation, drayage services to and from ports, over-the-road trucking, and freight forwarding. We also provide foodservice distribution in select markets and e-commerce fulfillment services. For the year ended December 31, 2025, transportation and refrigerated rail car leasing together accounted for approximately 57% of our global integrated solutions segment revenue.

Our Competitive Strengths

We believe we are the premier technology-enabled temperature-controlled warehousing REIT in the world, as evidenced by the following competitive strengths:

We are the global leader in a fragmented industry with meaningful scale and network benefits.

We are the largest temperature-controlled warehousing company globally by cubic feet of storage space, including in some of the world’s largest developed markets, such as the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Continental Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.

Approximately 95% of our global warehousing segment revenues are from countries in which our local network of temperature-controlled warehouses is the largest, as measured by cubic feet of capacity. The interconnected nature of our global warehouse network aligns with the global nature of many of our customers, allowing us to provide warehousing services to many of them across multiple geographies. On average, our top 25 customers utilize approximately 22 of our facilities per customer, and seven of our top ten customers use our facilities in multiple countries. Importantly, we believe customers equate the Lineage brand with service, quality, and safety around the world, which provides an advantage over local competitors.

We believe that our network and the economies of scale in our business drive operational leverage and allow us to invest in customer service and technology, which, in turn, attracts more customers. With a larger customer base, we believe that we can leverage our resources more efficiently, supporting strong profitability. Moreover, our large customer base enables us to gather and analyze vast amounts of data. We believe that this data-driven approach empowers us to continuously refine our operations, improve productivity, and lower operating costs, creating a “win-win” scenario for both our customers and Lineage.

We believe that it would be difficult and costly to replace or replicate our network of temperature-controlled facilities given the high and rising value of industrial land, difficulties in obtaining land and zoning entitlements and approvals, and the significant and increasing construction costs of temperature-controlled warehouses. We have a deep sales pipeline via the largest existing customer base and sales group in the industry, a recognized and respected brand among customers, the broadest suite of temperature-controlled services through our global integrated solutions segment, our innovative technology, extensive development experience, a broad industry knowledge base, and a flexible balance sheet and favorable cost of capital. In addition, we believe that our skilled and experienced team of approximately 24,000 team members provide a differentiated service that would be difficult to replicate, as many of them are trained to operate in a highly-specialized environment while complying with stringent food safety requirements.

Our high quality portfolio is located in highly desirable and strategic locations around the world.

Our cubic-foot weighted average facility age is approximately 22 years, which we believe is significantly younger than that of the broader temperature-controlled warehousing industry. Moreover, our portfolio includes 83 fully- and semi-automated warehouses, which we believe is the most of any cold storage provider in the world, making our network the most technologically advanced in our industry. We believe that modern warehouses are more desirable to our customers because of their increased operational efficiency and enhanced ability to meet today’s most sophisticated customer needs.

We have a robust presence in key metropolitan statistical areas and ports throughout the United States, with a larger number of warehouses in such locations relative to our largest competitor, which drives a significantly higher weighted average population density of approximately 3,000 persons per square mile.

We have a particularly strong presence in top-tier U.S. markets, including New York/New Jersey, Los Angeles and Southern California, Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Kansas City, Denver, Philadelphia, Miami, Atlanta, Boston, the Bay Area and Northern California, Seattle and the Pacific Northwest. We consider these U.S. markets to be key geographies, as we believe they have among the highest industrial real estate values and lowest cap rates in our industry.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, 75% of our global warehousing NOI was from distribution centers and approximately 45% of our global warehousing NOI was from warehouses located near ports, many of which are in the key distribution markets. This solidifies the mission-critical nature of our portfolio in highly desirable locations for imports, exports, and local consumption and distribution. We believe our facilities are strategic to our customer base with locations that serve as critical hubs within their supply chains.

Our business is highly diversified across geographies, commodities and a high-quality, loyal customer base.

Our business profile is highly diversified, which reduces risks to our cash flows from potential headwinds linked to any one facility, market, commodity, food consumption channel, or customer. We operate 501 warehouses globally, with no facility accounting for more than 1.4% of revenues during the year ended December 31, 2025.

We offer a broad range of warehousing services and integrated solutions around the world for a variety of customers with complex requirements in the food supply chain. As of December 31, 2025, we served more than 11,000 customers around the world across numerous commodity categories and with complex requirements in the food supply chain. Approximately 33.0% of our total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 came from our top 25 customers. Our customer base was highly diversified, with no customer accounting for more than 3.6% of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The stability of our business is further supported by long-term contracts with most of our largest customers by revenues in our global warehousing segment. These long-term contracts often include minimum storage guarantees that generate minimum or fixed storage revenues regardless of whether the underlying pallet positions are occupied. As of December 31, 2025, 46.1% of Lineage’s storage revenues were subject to minimum storage guarantees.

Our customer base is loyal, with a weighted average customer relationship, including relationships with legacy companies we acquired, of over 30 years across our current top 25 customers based on revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025. The relationship lengths include periods where a customer was a customer of acquired companies prior to their acquisition. We believe this loyalty is driven by:

•the mission-critical role we play in our customers’ cold chain;

•the expansive and interconnected nature of our warehouse network;

•the locations of our warehouses and the services we offer;

•the comprehensive suite of integrated solutions that we offer to our customers; and

•excellent customer service and innovative technologies.

Through a combination of our vast warehouse network, integrated solutions, innovative technology, and dedicated team of supply chain professionals, we strive to deliver the highest quality of service to our customers, tailored to their specific product and location needs. Our commitment to customer satisfaction is evident in our long-standing partnerships with some of the world’s largest and most critical food producers and retailers, as well as a reputation as a trusted strategic partner in the food supply chain industry.

Our complementary, value-added global integrated solutions segment drives customer value, retention and growth.

In addition to our temperature-controlled warehousing operations, we offer a comprehensive suite of value-added integrated solutions that we believe are highly complementary and valuable to our warehouse customers. These services deepen our customer relationships by providing an “all services under one roof” experience and promoting cross-sell opportunities. Given the majority of our customers’ supply chain costs come from product movement versus storage, this integration provides a value-added benefit to warehousing customers of reducing transport costs while enabling us to generate additional revenue on the same product stored.

Our highly synergistic platform differentiates us from our competitors, supports a strong win rate with new business, enhances customer loyalty, and increases the value of our warehousing business.

We believe we are an innovative industry leader driving disruption with differentiated technology.

In a traditionally analog, fragmented, and family-owned industry, we believe that our innovation and large-scale deployment of cutting-edge technology provides a comprehensive service offering for our customers that enhances our competitive position relative to our peers, while driving industry-leading growth and margins. We have invested heavily into transformational technology initiatives, which include developing, acquiring, and deploying both proprietary operating systems and third-party platforms, migrating workloads to the cloud, implementing SaaS-based tools, rolling out next-generation software-defined wide-area network (“SD-WAN”), and upgrading our core human capital and financial ERP software. These initiatives are strategically designed to standardize, integrate, and enhance the technological framework across our enterprise. In addition, our deliberate and forward-thinking focus has allowed us to create what we believe is the largest automated portfolio in the industry with 83 fully- and semi-automated warehouses backed by innovative proprietary software and an in-house automation team. Due to the increasing demand for automated solutions from our customers, the higher construction cost of automated warehouses, and the complexity of implementing automated solutions, we expect the growth of automation in our warehouse network to be a key differentiator for Lineage over time.

We use a standardized and disciplined approach to apply our best practices to integrating acquired companies. This has been a core part of our strategy since our inception. We seek to integrate our network onto our common technology systems to standardize operations and increase productivity. As of December 31, 2025, approximately 97% of our global warehousing segment revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 was integrated on our human capital and financial ERP software. As of December 31, 2025, approximately 67% of our global warehousing segment revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 flowed through one of our four Core WMS, excluding facilities leased to customers and managed warehouses. We expect increased penetration of our four Core WMS throughout our network to drive operational productivity, reduce general and administrative expenses, and accelerate our ability to deploy digital technology solutions network-wide. As of December 31, 2025, all of our global warehousing segment revenue was reporting on metricsOne, a proprietary operating KPI dashboard that provides enhanced visibility into our operational execution, labor, safety, and financial performance.

We have developed Lineage Link, a proprietary customer visibility platform that empowers customers to actively manage their inventories, orders, shipments, and transportation appointment scheduling across our warehouse network, which seeks to drive incremental NOI through increased efficiencies for customers and Lineage. Through December 31, 2025, Lineage Link had been rolled out across approximately 74% of our network, as measured by global warehousing segment revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025, and we are in the process of further growing its penetration. We believe these technologies will support customer retention as we improve our responsiveness to our customers’ complex and evolving needs. We are in the initial phases of deploying proprietary operating systems and third-party platforms to seek to drive NOI yield, operational productivity and process automation across our warehouse network and thereby drive margin improvement.

Our specialized warehouse execution system, LinOS, is engineered to boost our operational efficiency. It employs unique, patented algorithms to optimize task allocation among team members and strategically prioritize tasks within our warehouses. Currently operational in select automated facilities and piloted in select conventional warehouses, LinOS shows significant potential for extensive deployment across our warehouse network.

Additionally, our general and administrative spend currently includes substantial growth and technology investments, which we refer to as transformational technology G&A, such as the development and subsequent deployment of our technology operating systems. Once fully integrated, we believe we will benefit from operating leverage, as these new investments are spread across our growing portfolio.

We have a strong and flexible balance sheet, and we have demonstrated access to debt and equity capital to support growth.

As of December 31, 2025, 92% of our debt is unsecured and 83% of our debt is fixed or interest rate hedged, and our total liquidity, including cash on hand and available revolver capacity, is $1.9 billion, supporting our external growth strategy. Additionally, our Revolving Credit Facility provides flexibility in funding our greenfield and expansion development pipeline and future acquisition opportunities, while our owned real estate provides us flexibility to access various financing options that may not be available otherwise and, in turn, allows us to access financing markets with the goal of minimizing our cost of capital. We may also attempt to access property-level secured debt, bank debt and the unsecured bond market, in each case across multiple currencies and geographies, which would provide us with capital-raising flexibility to fund our operations. Substantially all of our assets are unencumbered as of December 31, 2025, which we believe provides us with the ability to upsize our facilities while maintaining future flexibility. We intend to preserve a flexible capital structure with an investment grade profile. We believe that our balance sheet flexibility and strength will allow us to continue expanding our business and pursue new growth opportunities.

Our Growth Strategy

Our objective is to maximize stockholder value by growing our business to expand solutions for our customers, creating opportunities for new and existing team members and driving innovation across our business and the supply chain to create efficiencies and increase sustainability. Our self-reinforcing strategy includes:

•Growing our same warehouse NOI and free cash flow through numerous organic business initiatives we have developed over many years. This helps delever our balance sheet and creates capacity for new investments.

•Having our strong cash flows and our tax efficient REIT structure help to create an efficient and attractive cost of capital to support our inorganic growth.

•Deploying our capital into a deep pipeline of investments within our existing facilities, accretive greenfield and expansion development projects, and acquisition opportunities at returns in excess of our cost of capital.

•Using our organic business initiatives and driving operational and administrative synergies to seek to grow our same warehouse NOI and cash flows post investment.

Same Warehouse Growth

We expect to organically grow our warehouse business through the following business initiatives:

Maximize our same warehouse NOI growth through occupancy and commercial optimization initiatives.

We seek to grow our same warehouse NOI through occupancy and commercial optimization initiatives. Our occupancy initiatives are highlighted by a focus on optimizing physical warehouse occupancy and improving economic occupancy through increased use of minimum storage guarantees, while our commercial optimization initiatives are enabled by customer profitability tools and allowing us to align rates charged to customers with our cost to serve.

•Optimizing Physical Warehouse Occupancy Through Increased Utilization. Increases in warehouse physical occupancy generate high flow-through to NOI due to operational leverage. We seek to optimize physical occupancy in our existing warehouse network by winning new customers, expanding our business with existing customers, and more efficiently matching customer profiles to the best available pallet positions in our markets. We support these initiatives with a team of sales and customer account management people who are focused on using the Lineage network to solve customers’ supply chain needs.

•Increasing use of Minimum Storage Guarantees to Improve Economic Occupancy. We believe that transitioning certain customer contracts from on-demand, as-utilized structures to minimum storage guarantee structures will drive greater consistency of our NOI by increasing revenue predictability and enabling us to better manage our labor force while meeting customers’ needs. This strategy helps maintain our storage revenues during periods of lower inventories matching ongoing revenue streams with fixed warehousing costs while allowing customers to reserve space to meet their needs. We believe that implementing minimum storage guarantees will continue to boost recurring revenue and enhance stability of cash flows, while allowing customers to plan for periods of increased need by reserving capacity and ultimately enabling a better temperature-controlled warehousing experience for our customers.

•Commercial Optimization Initiatives. We employ three main types of customer contracts: warehouse agreements, rate letters and tariff sheets. We also earn rent under lease agreements pursuant to which we lease a portion of a warehouse or an entire warehouse. Warehouse agreements and rate letters generally provide us with some flexibility to pass on rate increases to customers during the term of the contract. Warehouse agreements and rate letters often also include mechanisms to adjust rates for inflationary cost increases and customer profile changes, while tariff sheets are short-term in nature and can generally be updated upon 30 days advance notice. We are generally able to translate industry-wide rent increases into storage rate increases to customers, and our various rate adjustment mechanisms generally allow us to pass on both storage and handling rate increases to customers as necessary to account for inflation in operational costs such as wages, power, and warehouse supplies as well. Additionally, we have been refining an array of tools to evaluate relative customer profitability so that we are allocating our warehouse space to the customers that value it the most.

•Aligning Rates with Cost to Serve. We are deploying technologies such as a third-party contracting and invoicing platform to professionalize our commercial optimization capabilities across our company. We are driving standardization of rates across our warehouse network as well as seeking to implement standardized billing practices so that we are adequately compensated for all services performed. Incremental cost to serve charges capturing previously unbilled services are anticipated to support NOI growth as these initiatives are implemented across our warehouse network. In addition, to deliver the best service and most efficient cost to serve, we seek to closely monitor agreed-upon customer profiles in our contracts and make pricing adjustments as necessary to compensate for variances.

Further implement productivity and cost containment measures to grow same warehouse NOI.

We seek to grow our NOI by reducing our operating expenses with a specific emphasis on two of the largest cost drivers facing the temperature-controlled warehouse industry: labor and energy.

•Labor Productivity. Labor and benefits represent the largest variable cost of operating a temperature-controlled warehouse. We employ multiple strategies to maximize labor productivity, such as our focus on lean operating principles and our emphasis on team member retention. The implementation of lean operating principles drives operational excellence, which we believe leads to greater productivity and consistency over time, resulting in better customer service and better operating results in certified warehouses. We anticipate the implementation of these operating principles will support NOI growth as we significantly expand internal certification in our portfolio from 93 warehouses certified out of 501 total warehouses as of December 31, 2025. We internally certify warehouses based on their progression across six categories—culture, standardized work, visual management, problem solving, just-in-time, and quality process. Our focus on labor retention through total rewards, market wage benchmarking, team member onboarding, and training leads to increased tenure and reduced turnover, which generally increases productivity, reduces recruiting costs, and has knock-on benefits in other areas of the warehouse, such as reduced maintenance expense and claims, as well as better customer service.

•Energy Efficiency. We seek to maximize energy efficiency in our warehouses through the application of best practices, implementation of the latest technology and generation of alternative sources of energy. Our best practices include energy hedging strategies and a centralized energy and sustainability team that deploys these initiatives across our network to drive standardization and minimization of energy waste. The technologies we deploy to optimize energy efficiency include variable frequency drives, advanced refrigeration control systems, rapid close doors, motion sensor technology, LED lighting, and flywheeling. Our approach to generating alternative sources of energy is primarily through the deployment of onsite solar, onsite battery capacity, and onsite generators. Our focus on energy efficiency in our portfolio helps us to manage our operating costs and drive NOI margins and growth while also supporting our sustainability initiatives.

Transform the industry through our data science driven approach to warehouse control and design.

Our productivity and process automation initiatives are supported by our in-house data science team, which provides data-driven business intelligence and innovations to maximize operational efficiencies, revenues, profitability, energy efficiency, and cash flows. Our innovations have yielded 169 patents issued and 134 patents pending as of December 31, 2025, in such areas as facility design, methods and mechanisms for operating facilities, refrigeration and thermodynamic designs and cold-rated instrumentation. These innovations offer numerous ways to potentially grow our NOI, including through optimization of our conventional racking systems, algorithms that better allocate tasks in the warehouse and improvements in electricity consumption

for blast freezing. We believe that many of these innovations have now been successfully piloted and can be rolled out to other similar use cases.

Capital Deployment

A cross functional network optimization, data science and automation team has overseen major greenfield and expansion projects. We have spent significant time and cost to establish a team of experts in construction, energy, automation, and innovation, and we believe our development process and expertise, together with our robust pipeline of facility expansions and greenfield development, has the potential ability to drive future growth and ongoing value to our stockholders.

Our acquisition strategy targets profitable businesses with strategic, high-quality assets that complement our network and customers’ needs. These businesses often present opportunities to accretively deploy capital and recognize revenue and cost synergies.

We intend to continue our track record of accretive capital deployment through the following business initiatives:

Invest in potentially accretive projects across our existing facilities to enhance same warehouse growth.

We continually evaluate opportunities to drive organic growth within our existing facilities through accretive capital deployment into high economic return on capital opportunities, such as re-racking projects to increase pallet capacity, installation of opportunity chargers, solar projects to improve energy efficiency and the addition of blast cell capacity. In addition to potentially generating incremental revenues and NOI, return-on-capital projects are intended to enhance our facilities’ ability to best serve our customers’ needs with the most advanced and customized solutions available.

Execute on our greenfield and existing facility expansion initiatives.

Because of our reputation for delivering innovative new development projects and the benefits of participating in our industry-leading warehouse network, customers often choose to partner with us for their largest and most important projects. In addition, we have spent considerable time and investment establishing an in-house warehouse network optimization team comprised of warehouse design, automation, and construction experts. We expect our development expertise will continue to support our growth as we realize the returns on our recently completed greenfield and expansion projects and deliver on our industry-leading pipeline of greenfield development and expansion opportunities.

•Recently Completed Greenfield and Expansion Projects. Since January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025, we completed the following greenfield and expansion projects:


Recently Completed Projects	Square Feet (in millions)	Cubic Feet (in millions)	Pallet Positions (in thousands)	Total Cost (in millions) (1)	Year Ended December 31, 2025 Revenue Less Operating Expenses (in millions)	Weighted Average Targeted NOI Yield
15	2.5	113	382	$757	$34	9%

(1) Includes approximately $6 million of remaining spend.

No assurance can be given that our weighted average targeted NOI yield range will be achieved.

•Industry-Leading Pipeline of Greenfield and Expansion Opportunities.

•Under Construction Pipeline. As of December 31, 2025, we had the following greenfield development and expansion projects under construction:


Under Construction Projects	Estimated Square Feet (in millions)	Estimated Cubic Feet (in millions)	Estimated Pallet Positions (in thousands)	Estimated Total Cost (in millions)	Remaining Spend (in millions)	Year Ended December 31, 2025 Revenue Less Operating Expenses (in millions)	Weighted Average Target NOI Yield
9	1.9	144	443	$1,095	$679	($3)	10%

No assurance can be given that we will complete any of these projects on the terms currently contemplated, or at all, that the actual cost or completion dates of any of these projects will not exceed our estimates or that the targeted NOI yield range of these projects will be consistent with our current projects.

Our proprietary technology and unique approach to automation enables us to provide customers with truly customizable solutions to address their warehouse needs. All of our development projects are designed in-house based on actual customer data and profiles. Unique to our industry, we have developed proprietary automation control software that helps us optimize our automated warehouse operations. For new developments, because we own our own software, we can select the best hardware regardless of manufacturer, to build what we believe are the most cost-effective and most advanced automated warehouses in our industry. We intend to continue our leadership in temperature-controlled warehouse automation through development of next-generation automated warehouses as part of our pipeline. We anticipate approximately 89% of the total added pallet positions of our warehouses under construction as of December 31, 2025 will be fully automated. Automated warehouses generally produce a lower cost to serve and lower resource consumption, presenting an attractive solution to our customers and positioning us well to win new business and grow our cash flows from operations.

•Future Long-Term Pipeline. As of December 31, 2025, we owned approximately 1,513 acres of undeveloped land or “Land Bank” in addition to the owned land included in our under-construction pipeline. Our Land Bank has an estimated cost to replace as of December 31, 2025 of approximately $459 million based on broker inquiries, comparable land sales, and our internal estimates. We continue to evaluate strategic opportunities for future greenfield development and expansion opportunities in markets with attractive growth prospects and in partnerships with our customers.


	Estimated Land Bank (in acres)	Estimated Square Feet (in millions) (1)	Estimated Cubic Feet (in millions) (1)	Estimated Pallet Positions (in millions) (1)	Estimated Cost to Replace (in millions) (2)
North America	1,292	16.6	688	2.3	$	326
Europe	182	2.8	102	0.3	81
Asia-Pacific	39	0.6	21	0.1	52
Total	1,513	20.0	811	2.7	$	459

(1) Square feet, cubic feet and pallet positions reflect potential capacity undeveloped land can support through future greenfield development and expansion based on typical warehouse designs.
(2) Estimated cost to replace is based on broker inquiries, comparable land sales, and our internal estimates as of December 31, 2025.

Capitalize on strategically attractive and financially accretive acquisition opportunities.

The temperature-controlled warehousing sector remains highly fragmented and is generally comprised of many family-owned and independent companies that may lack the capital, technology, customer relationships, development expertise, technical knowledge, and management sophistication that we possess. While new supply of temperature-controlled warehousing capacity has come online in recent years, we believe that there remain select markets with opportunities to continue to execute on our proven acquisition strategy, which targets profitable businesses with strategic, high-quality assets that complement our warehouse

network and customers’ needs. In addition to operating businesses, there also remain real estate opportunities to acquire triple-net-leased facilities and execute sale-leaseback transactions with customers and other cold storage operators.

•Status as an Acquirer of Choice Supports Strategic Acquisition Opportunities. We believe we are an acquirer of choice in the industry, as demonstrated by our long history of executing strategic acquisitions through direct sourcing and long-term relationships with their owners. We have extensive experience acquiring cold chain companies of all sizes. In the last 18 years through December 31, 2025, we have executed 126 acquisitions with nearly two-thirds of those proprietarily sourced, with the remainder coming to fruition through successful bidding in advisor-led sale processes. In addition, we believe we enjoy multiple advantages when participating in sale processes, including our prolific transaction experience, track record of quickly closing transactions, and our flexible balance sheet.

•Multiple Levers to Drive Value Creation Post Acquisitions. As described above in our other internal and external growth strategies, we can drive value creation through multiple levers, including revenue growth, cost efficiencies, deployment of capital and implementation of technology. Our proprietary integration playbook includes over 500 steps to completion and has been refined throughout the last decade to develop a consistent and successful game plan for acquisition integration. As acquisitions are incorporated into the Lineage network, the opportunity set for deploying these strategies grows. We have a standardized and disciplined approach to integrating acquired companies while bringing acquired team members into the Lineage family. Through this approach and an open mindset to learn and adopt best practices of newly acquired businesses, we can seek to capitalize on growth opportunities beyond the acquisition date.

Seasonality

We are involved in providing services to food producers, distributors and retailers whose businesses, in some cases, are seasonal. On a portfolio-wide basis, economic and physical occupancy rates and warehouse revenues generally peak between mid-September and early December in connection with the holiday season and the peak harvest season in the northern hemisphere. Economic and physical occupancy rates and warehouse revenues on a portfolio-wide basis are generally the lowest during June and July. The diversification of our business across different commodities mitigates, in part, the impact of seasonality as peak demand for various products occurs at different times of the year (for example, demand for ice cream is typically highest in the summer while demand for frozen turkeys usually peaks in the late fall). Our southern hemisphere operations in Australia and New Zealand also help balance the impact of seasonality in our global operations, as their growing and harvesting cycles are complementary to North America and Europe. Each of our warehouses sets its own operating hours based on demand, which is heavily driven by growing seasons and seasonal consumer demand for certain products.

Power Costs

The temperature-controlled warehouse business is power-intensive. Keeping food products refrigerated or frozen requires substantial amounts of power and managing power costs is a priority for us and our customers. Power costs accounted for 8.8% of our total global warehousing segment cost of operations for the year ended December 31, 2025. We seek to maximize energy efficiency in our warehouses through the application of best practices, the latest technology, and alternative energy generation.

•Application of Best Practices: Certain jurisdictions and regions in which we operate, including Texas, Illinois, the Northeast United States, Europe, New Zealand, and Australia, have deregulated market-based electricity exchanges. To manage our exposure to volatile power prices, we have entered, and may continue to enter, into arrangements to fix power costs for all or a portion of our anticipated electricity requirements. The durations of these forward contracts are generally one to three years. In addition, we employ a centralized energy and sustainability team that we deploy across our network to promote standardization and minimization of energy waste.

•Modern Technologies: The technologies we deploy to optimize energy efficiency include variable frequency drives, refrigeration control systems, rapid close doors, motion sensor technology, LED lighting and flywheeling. Further, we believe that automated warehouses can significantly reduce energy intensity as compared to conventional warehouses. Select recent examples within our network indicate reductions of approximately 22% as measured by kWh usage per pallet position in automated warehouses relative to conventional warehouses in the same metropolitan areas.

•Alternative Energy Generation: We are also focused on generating alternative sources of energy through on-site solar, battery storage and linear generators. Our energy strategy allows us to buy power at a cheaper cost and

monetize carbon credits to offset energy costs. Through solar systems at our facilities, we had installed capacity of 222 megawatts of solar energy as of December 31, 2025.

In addition to maximizing energy efficiency, when appropriate we seek to pass through increases in power costs to our customers.

Trademarks

The name “Lineage” and the Lineage logo are registered trademarks. We have established considerable goodwill with customers under this brand name and believe its reputation in our industry is a strong competitive advantage.

Regulatory Matters

General

Many laws and governmental regulations are applicable to our properties and changes in these laws and regulations, or interpretation of such laws and regulations by agencies and the courts, occur frequently. Although we incur costs to comply with applicable federal, state, local, and foreign provisions relating to governmental regulations, including environmental regulations, in the ordinary course of our business, such costs have not materially affected, and are not presently expected to materially affect, our capital expenditures, earnings, or competitive position.

Environmental Matters

Our operations are subject to a wide range of international, United States federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations in each of the locations in which we operate, and compliance with these requirements involves expertise, significant capital expenditures, and operating costs.

Most of our warehouses utilize anhydrous ammonia (“NH3”) as a refrigerant. Anhydrous ammonia is classified as a hazardous chemical regulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and various other agencies in the locations in which we operate, and an accident or a significant release of anhydrous ammonia from one of our properties could result in injuries, loss of life, and property damage. Releases of anhydrous ammonia may occur at our warehouses from time to time due to routine maintenance or an unanticipated mechanical failure. Our warehouses also may have under-floor heating systems, some of which utilize chemicals such as ethylene glycol; releases from these systems could potentially contaminate soil and groundwater. Although we cannot predict the extent of our liabilities as a result of such incidents, we expect any related product damage claims to be covered by insurance, subject to applicable deductibles. Our warehouses have risk management programs required by U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”), the EPA, and other regulatory agencies.

Food Safety Regulations

Most of our warehouses are subject to compliance with federal regulations regarding food safety. Under the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Preparedness and Response Act of 2002, the United States Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA, requires us to register all warehouses in which food is stored and further requires us to maintain records of sources and recipients of food for purposes of food recalls. The Food Safety Modernization Act, or FSMA, was signed into law in January 2011 and significantly expanded the FDA’s authority over food safety, providing the FDA with new tools to proactively ensure the safety of the entire food system, including for example, new hazard analysis and preventive controls requirements, food safety planning, requirements for sanitary transportation of food, increased inspections, and mandatory food recalls under certain circumstances. Since the adoption of FSMA, the FDA has issued many new food safety-related final rules, some of which impact our business. The most significant new rule which impacts our business is the Current Good Manufacturing Practice and Hazard Analysis and Risk-Based Preventive Controls for Human Food rule. This rule requires a food facility to establish a food safety system that includes an analysis of hazards and the implementation of risk-based preventive controls, among other steps. This is in addition to requirements that we satisfy existing Good Manufacturing Practices with respect to the holding of foods, as set forth in FDA regulations. The USDA also grants to some of our warehouses “ID status,” which entitles us to handle products of the USDA. As a result of the regulatory framework from the FDA, the USDA, and other local regulatory requirements, we subject our warehouses to annual third-party food safety audits. Our third-party food safety audits are conducted by certified providers, including SAI Global, AIB International, Mérieux Nutrisciences, ASI, and NSF, following the one of the following schemes: Good Distribution Practices (“GDP”) or a Global Food Safety Initiative (“GFSI”) scheme, such as Safe Quality Foods (“SQF”) or Brand Recognition through Compliance Global Standards (“BRCGS”) audit programs.

Occupational Safety and Health Act

Our properties located in the U.S. are subject to regulation under OSHA, which requires employers to provide employees with an environment free from recognized hazards likely to cause death or serious physical harm and includes regulations related to exposure to toxic chemicals, excessive noise levels, mechanical dangers, heat or cold stress, and unsanitary conditions. In addition, due to the amount of anhydrous ammonia stored at some of our facilities, we are also subject to compliance with OSHA’s Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals standard and OSHA’s ongoing National Emphasis Program related to potential releases of highly hazardous chemicals. The cost of complying with OSHA and similar laws enacted by states and other jurisdictions in which we operate can be substantial.

International Regulations

Our international facilities are subject to many local laws and regulations which govern a wide range of matters, including food safety, building, environmental, health and safety, hazardous substances and waste minimization, as well as specific requirements for the storage of meat, dairy products, fish, poultry, agricultural, and other products. Any products destined for export must also satisfy the applicable export requirements.

Other Regulations

Our properties are also subject to various federal, state, and local regulatory requirements, such as fire and safety requirements. Failure to comply with these requirements could result in the imposition of fines by governmental authorities or awards of damages to private litigants. We believe that our properties are currently in substantial compliance with all such regulatory requirements.

Insurance

We carry insurance for the risks arising out of our business and operations, including coverage on all of our properties in an amount that we believe adequately covers any potential casualty losses. However, there are certain losses that we are not generally insured against or that we are not generally fully insured against because it is not deemed economically feasible or prudent to do so. In addition, changes in the cost or availability of insurance could expose us to uninsured casualty losses. In the event that any of our properties incurs a casualty loss that is not covered by insurance (in part or at all), the value of our assets will be reduced by the amount of any such uninsured loss, and we could experience a significant loss of capital invested and potential revenues in these properties.

Competition

In our Global Warehousing segment, the principal competitive factors are warehouse location, warehouse and yard size, space availability, warehouse type, design/layout, number of temperature zones, types of service, degree of automation and price. For refrigerated food customers, transportation costs are typically significantly greater than warehousing costs and, accordingly, location and transportation capabilities are major competitive factors. The size of a warehouse is important in part because customers generally prefer to have all of their products needed to serve a given market in a single location and to have the flexibility to increase storage at that single location during seasonal peaks. Some food producers and distributors attend to their own warehousing and distribution needs by either building or leasing warehouses, creating a private warehousing market which may compete with the public warehouse industry. Many customers, including those for whom private warehousing is a viable option, will select distribution services based upon service level and price, provided that an appropriate network of related storage facilities is available. In this segment, we compete with Americold, NewCold, and local operators which vary by geography, such as US Cold, Interstate Warehousing, FreezPak Logistics, Nichirei, Constellation Cold, Conestoga, Congebec, and Magnavale.

In our Global Integrated Solutions segment, competition is highly fragmented by service offering and geography, and we do not believe that we have a single global competitor across offerings and geographies. In temperature-controlled transportation, the principal competitive factors include service, capacity and rates. In refrigerated rail car leasing, the principal competitive factors include car reliability, car thermal performance, repair and maintenance capabilities, and price. Our main competitors in temperature-controlled transportation include Americold, US Cold, and CH Robinson, while in refrigerated rail car leasing, our main competitor is Trinity Rail. Examples of other significant local competitors include DFDS, Wolter Koops, Primafrio, Erb Transport, and Midland Transport.

Human Capital Resources

We are committed to creating a work environment which supports the growth and success of our team members. We have employees located throughout the world. As of December 31, 2025, we employed approximately 24,000 people worldwide.

The geographic distribution of our team members as of December 31, 2025 is summarized in the following table:


Region	Number of team members (in thousands)	Percentage of workforce
North America	17	70.9	%
Europe	5	20.8	%
Asia-Pacific	2	8.3	%
Total	24	100.0	%

As of December 31, 2025, fewer than 5% of our approximately 16,000 team members in the United States were represented by various local labor unions and associations. Globally (including the United States), approximately 15% (based on team members for whom we are able to ascertain union status) or 22% (assuming that the entire 8% of our team members for whom we are not able to ascertain union status due to applicable privacy or freedom of association laws are represented by labor unions and associations) of our total team members were represented by various local labor unions and associations.

Safety and Wellbeing

At Lineage, “safe” is our first value. The safety of our team members is our number one priority. Our team members receive safety training and conduct emergency response drills throughout the year to equip them with the knowledge and tools that will allow them to conduct their daily tasks safely. Our team members are provided with personal protective equipment appropriate for the performance of their job functions. Lineage has robust safety and compliance policies and programs, and we track safety and compliance metrics throughout the year. Our total global recordable incidence rate (“TIR”) for the year ended December 31, 2025 was 3.6, as compared to an average TIR of 4.2 across applicable sector industries, based on the most recently published data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. TIR is a measure of occupational health and safety based on the number of recordable safety incidents reported against the number of hours worked based on the OSHA record-keeping criteria (injuries per 200,000 hours).

Lineage prioritizes near miss reporting and has a Behavioral Based Safety (“BBS”) Program throughout the network as well as deploys wearable technology at high-risk operations to monitor and reinforce safe working behaviors by actively addressing observations, as well as providing constructive feedback to address “at risk” behaviors.

Because our most valuable asset is our people, we are constantly looking to give team members the wellbeing support they need with the goal of having a healthier and more engaged workforce. Through our comprehensive health and medical benefits, including our Team Member Assistance programs that offer holistic mental health and other benefits to team members and their families, team members have access to a wide range of care options. We look at wellbeing from a holistic perspective inclusive of physical and mental wellness and prioritize psychological safety in addition to physical safety.

Inclusion and Belonging

The range of our team members’ experiences, backgrounds, and perspectives is fundamental to our culture and supports our ability to innovate and operate effectively. We are committed to fostering a working environment in which team members, customers, and community partners are treated with dignity and respect. We seek to identify, reduce, and eliminate barriers that may limit full participation or advancement, and we recruit, hire, and promote talent based on skills, knowledge, experience, and performance. We are an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants and team members receive consideration without regard to race, color, national origin, ancestry, religion, genetic information, physical or mental disability, marital status, age, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, veteran status, political affiliation, physical appearance, or any other characteristic protected by applicable federal, state, or local law.

We regularly evaluate compensation practices to assess equity across roles and levels and address identified pay disparities, as appropriate. We also invest in team member development through a range of formal and informal learning opportunities designed to support professional growth, leadership development, and continuous improvement. Our commitment to inclusion and belonging is further reflected in our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs), which are open to all team members and serve as forums for connection, learning, and engagement across the organization. These groups help strengthen our culture, inform business practices, and support talent development. Our approach to inclusion and belonging is grounded in our six core values — safety,

trust, respect, innovation, boldness, and servant leadership — which guide how we develop our people, collaborate across teams, and recognize contributions throughout the organization.

Total Rewards

We provide programs and benefits designed to attract, retain and reward high-performing team members. In addition to salaries or hourly wages, our compensation programs, which are market-based, can include performance incentives for front-line workers, annual bonuses, share-based compensation awards, paid time off, retirement savings programs, healthcare and insurance benefits, health savings accounts, flexible work schedules, employee assistance programs, comprehensive wellbeing programs, tuition assistance, and team member recognition programs. To foster a stronger sense of ownership, aid in retention, and align the interests of our team members with our stockholders, we provide restricted stock units to eligible team members through our broad-based equity incentive programs.

Business Conduct and Ethics

We believe that a strong culture is the foundation of a strong company. At Lineage, our values define who we are and connect us to one another and to our work. We are striving to be the standard for honest, ethical, and responsible business in the temperature-controlled warehouse industry. Our Code of Conduct is available in the languages in which we conduct business and addresses global regulatory topics through three substantive sections: acting respectfully and responsibly in the workplace; working ethically with customers and stakeholders; and supporting our surrounding communities and protecting our planet. Our Code of Conduct includes policy statements on psychological safety, human rights, human trafficking, and a statement on our commitment to fair labor practices. We provide calls to action in each topic section as well as learning aids to help bring our Code of Conduct to life. We provide an Ethics Hotline, which allows anonymous reporting where permitted by law and is administered by our corporate compliance & ethics and human resources teams. We take all reports to our Speak Up Resources seriously and evaluate all claims, conduct internal or external investigations as appropriate and implement remediation plans if necessary. Our corporate compliance and ethics committee and audit committee are regularly briefed on reports received and have access to reports made through our Ethics Helpline.

Through our global online learning management platform, we provide code of conduct training in multiple native languages so that our team members understand our expectations and how to apply these standards to their work. We also maintain an anti-discrimination and anti-harassment policy that includes mandatory harassment training for team members. We do not tolerate any form of racism, sexism or injustice within our facilities or across our organization.

Risks Related to Our Business and Operations

Our investments are concentrated in the temperature-controlled warehouse industry, and our business would be materially and adversely affected by an economic downturn in that industry or the market for our customers’ products.

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. Declines in production of or demand for our 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.

The temperature-controlled warehouses that comprise our global warehousing business are concentrated in certain geographic areas, some of which are particularly susceptible to adverse local conditions. 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 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 10% of our owned or leased warehouses were located in California, 8% were in Washington, 8% were in the 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, 2025). 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.

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. Our property insurance 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.

Global market and economic conditions may materially and adversely affect us.

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:

•changes in consumer trends, demand and preferences for products we store in our warehouses;

•customer defaults on their contracts with us;

•reduced demand for our warehouse space, increased vacancies at our warehouses and a reduced ability, or an inability, to retain our customers or acquire new customers;

•reduced demand for the other supply chain services that comprise our integrated solutions business;

•lower rates from, and economic concessions to, our customers;

•increased operating costs, including increased energy, labor and fuel costs, and supply-chain challenges;

•our inability to raise capital on favorable terms, or at all, when desired;

•decreased value of our properties and related impact on our ability to obtain attractive prices on sales or to obtain debt financing; and

•illiquidity and decreased value of our short-term investments and cash deposits.

Any of the foregoing events could result in substantial or total losses to our business in respect of certain properties, which will likely be exacerbated by the terms of our indebtedness.

Many of our costs, such as operating expenses, interest expense, and real estate acquisition and construction costs could be adversely impacted by periods of heightened inflation.

In recent years, inflation in North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region rose to levels not experienced in recent decades, and we have seen 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. Our efforts to reduce the impact of inflation by increased operating efficiencies and embedded rate escalation or price increases to our customers may not be successful, and 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. 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.

Labor shortages, increased turnover, and work stoppages have in the past disrupted, and may in the future disrupt, 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 laws, regulations, and policies 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 to, and could in the future lead to, 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.

Furthermore, certain portions of our operations are subject to collective bargaining agreements. As of December 31, 2025, fewer than 5% of our team members in the United States were represented by various local labor unions and associations. Globally (including the United States), approximately 15% (based on team members for whom we are able to ascertain union status) or 22% (assuming that the entire 8% of our team members for whom we are not able to ascertain union status due to applicable privacy or freedom of association laws are represented by labor unions and associations) of our total team members were represented by various local labor unions and associations. Strikes, slowdowns, lockouts or other industrial disputes could cause us to experience a significant disruption in our operations, as well as increase our operating costs, which could materially and adversely affect us. If a greater percentage of our workforce becomes unionized, or if we fail to renegotiate our expired or expiring collective bargaining agreements on favorable terms in a timely manner or at all, we could be materially and adversely affected.

In addition, our customers’ operations are subject to labor shortages and disruptions that could 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.

Wage increases driven by competitive pressures or applicable legislation on employee wages and benefits could negatively affect our operating margins and our ability to attract qualified personnel.

Our hourly team members in the United States and internationally are typically paid wage rates above the applicable minimum wage. However, increases in the minimum wage may increase our labor costs if we are to continue paying our hourly team members above the applicable minimum wage. If we are unable to continue paying our hourly team members above the applicable minimum wage or at otherwise competitive wages, we may be unable to hire and retain qualified personnel. For example, beginning in 2020 and through 2025, we saw wage inflation on a global basis at all levels in our organization, which increased labor costs. For each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, labor and benefits expenses in our Global Warehousing segment accounted for 60.7%, 60.2%, and 59.7% of the segment’s cost of operations, respectively. Increases in the rates we pay our team members would negatively affect our operating margins unless we are able to increase our income streams in order to pass increased labor costs on to our customers. Our standard contract forms include some rate protection for uncontrollable costs such as labor, or costs associated with regulatory action, however, despite such provisions, we may not be able to fully pass through these increased costs.

Competitive pressures may also require that we enhance our pay and benefits package to compete effectively for such personnel (including costs associated with health insurance coverage or workers’ compensation insurance) or offer retention bonuses. If we fail to attract and retain qualified and skilled personnel, we could be materially and adversely affected.

Supply chain disruptions have in the past, and may again in the future, negatively impact our business.

Our business has in the past and may from time to time be impacted by supply chain disruptions, which impact, among other things, labor availability, raw material availability, manufacturing and food production, construction materials and transportation, including increased costs, reduced options, and timing delays with respect to the foregoing. Continued disruptions in the supply chain impacting the availability of materials, causing delays in manufacturing and production, including in our customers’ products, shipping delays and other supply chain problems could materially and adversely impact us.

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 engaged, 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:

•our pipeline of expansion and development opportunities is at various stages of discussion and consideration and, based on historical experiences, many of them may not be pursued or completed as contemplated or at all;

•the availability and timing of financing on favorable terms or at all;

•the availability and timely receipt of environmental studies and entitlement, zoning and regulatory approvals, which could result in increased costs and could require us to abandon our activities entirely with respect to any given warehouse for which we are unable to obtain permits or authorizations;

•the cost and timely completion within budget of construction due to increased land, materials, equipment, labor or other costs (including risks beyond our control, such as strikes, uninsurable losses, weather or labor conditions, material shortages, or increased costs resulting from the imposition of tariffs), which could make completion of any given warehouse or the expansion thereof uneconomical, and we may not be able to increase revenues to compensate for the increase in construction costs;

•inability to complete construction of a warehouse or the expansion thereof on schedule due to the availability of labor, equipment or materials or other factors outside of our control, resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs;

•supply chain disruptions or delays in receiving materials or support from vendors or contractors could impact the timing of stabilization of expansion and development projects;

•newly developed properties do not have an operating history that would allow objective pricing decisions in determining whether to invest our capital in such properties;

•market conditions may change during the course of development, which may make such development less attractive than at the time it was commenced;

•a completed expansion project or a newly-developed warehouse may fail to achieve, or take longer than anticipated to achieve, expected occupancy rates and may fail to perform as expected;

•inability to successfully integrate expanded or newly-developed properties;

•projects to automate our existing or new warehouses may not perform as expected or achieve the anticipated operational efficiencies; and

•inability to achieve targeted returns and budgeted stabilized returns on invested capital on our expansion and development opportunities due to the risks described above, and an expansion or development may not be profitable and could lose money.

These risks could create substantial unanticipated delays and expenses and, in certain circumstances, prevent the initiation or completion of expansion or development as contemplated or at all, any of which could materially and adversely affect us.

The actual initial full year stabilized NOI yields from our greenfield development and expansion projects may not be consistent with the targeted NOI yield ranges set forth in this Annual Report.

As of December 31, 2025, we had 15 greenfield development and expansion projects that had been completed since January 1, 2023 and nine 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.

We caution you not to place undue reliance on the targeted NOI yield ranges for our greenfield development and expansion projects because they are based solely on our estimates, using data currently available to us in our development and expansion underwriting processes. For our greenfield development and expansion projects under construction, our total cost to complete the project may differ substantially from our estimates due to various factors, including unanticipated expenses, delays in the estimated start and/or completion date and other contingencies. In addition, our actual initial full year stabilized NOI from our greenfield development and expansion projects may differ substantially from our estimates based on numerous other factors, including delays and/or difficulties in leasing or stabilizing the facilities, failure to achieve estimated occupancy and rental rates, inability to collect anticipated revenues, customer bankruptcies and unanticipated expenses at the facilities that we cannot pass on to customers. We can provide no assurance that the actual initial full year stabilized NOI yields from our greenfield development and expansion projects will be consistent with the targeted NOI yield ranges set forth in this Annual Report.

The short-term nature and lack of minimum storage guarantees in many of our customer contracts exposes us to certain risks that could have a material adverse effect on us.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, approximately 46.1% of our storage revenues were generated from agreements with customers that contained minimum storage guarantees. However, despite such guarantees, in the event a customer were to terminate such a contract with us, our remedies are typically limited to the amount of the guarantee.

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 time, 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. 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.

In addition, while we plan to expand our use of contracts with minimum storage guarantees, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so or that this strategy will result in increases in recurring revenue, enhanced stability of cash flows or increases in our economic occupancy, which could impede our growth.

Our integrated solutions business depends on the performance of our global warehousing business.

Our integrated solutions business complements our global warehousing services. For example, within transportation, which is the largest area within our integrated solutions business, our core focus areas are multi-vendor less-than-full-truckload

consolidation, transportation brokerage and drayage services to and from ports. Because we provide this integrated solutions business to our warehouse customers, the success of our integrated solutions business depends on the performance of our global warehousing business. A reduction in the number of our customers or in our customers’ inventory or throughput levels for any reason could in turn result in reduced demand for our integrated solutions services, which may adversely affect our operations.

Our growth may strain our management and resources, which may have a material adverse effect on 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.

A portion of our future growth depends upon acquisitions and we may be unable to identify, complete, and successfully integrate acquisitions, which may impede our growth, and our future acquisitions may not achieve their intended benefits or may disrupt our plans and operations.

We have executed 126 acquisitions since our first acquisition in 2008 through December 31, 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 acquisitions, 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. 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.

We may be unable to successfully expand our operations into new markets or new lines of business.

If the opportunity arises, we may acquire or develop properties in new markets. In addition to the risks described above related to our acquisition, expansion and development activities, the acquisition, expansion or development of properties in new markets will subject us to the risks associated with a lack of understanding of the related economy and unfamiliarity with government and permitting procedures. We will also not possess the same level of familiarity with the dynamics and market conditions of any new market that we may enter, which could adversely affect our ability to successfully expand and operate in such market. We may be unable to build a significant market share or achieve a desired return on our investments in new markets. If we are unsuccessful in expanding and operating in new, high-growth markets, it could have a material adverse effect on us.

In addition, from time to time, we may develop, grow and/or acquire new lines of business or offer new services within existing lines of business. There are substantial risks and uncertainties associated with these efforts, particularly in instances where the markets for these services are not fully developed. In developing and marketing new lines of business and/or new services, we may invest significant time and resources. Initial timetables for the introduction and development of new lines of business and/or new services may not be achieved, and price and profitability targets may not prove feasible. External factors,

such as compliance with regulations, competitive alternatives and shifting market preferences, may also impact the successful implementation of a new line of business or a new service. Furthermore, the burden on management and our IT of introducing any new line of business and/or new service could have a significant impact on the effectiveness of our system of internal controls. Failure to successfully manage these risks in the development and implementation of new lines of business or new services could have a material adverse effect on us.

We are dependent on Bay Grove to provide certain services to us pursuant to the transition services agreement, and it may be difficult to replace the services provided under such agreement.

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. It 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 have uncapped expense payment and indemnification obligations with respect to various costs incurred by BGLH, Bay Grove, and their affiliates.

In connection with our IPO, Lineage Holdings entered into an expense reimbursement and indemnification agreement with BGLH, the LHR, and Bay Grove, pursuant to which Lineage Holdings agreed to (i) advance to or reimburse such entities for all of their expenses in any way related to our company, including expenses incurred in connection with the coordinated settlement process that will occur for up to three years post-IPO for all legacy investors in both BGLH and our operating partnership, and (ii) indemnify such entities to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law against liabilities that may arise in any way related to our company, including liabilities incurred in connection with or as a result of the coordinated settlement process. There is no limit to the amounts we may be required to pay under this agreement. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that our future payment obligations under this agreement will not have a material adverse effect on us.

Pandemics or disease outbreaks, and associated responses, may disrupt our business, including among other things, increasing our costs, impacting our supply chain, and impacting demand for cold storage, which could have a material adverse impact on our business.

We face various risks and uncertainties related to public health crises, including supply chain disruptions, potential work stoppages, volatility in demand for temperature-controlled warehouse storage, and other operational challenges.

The extent to which a public health emergency impacts our operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with any degree of confidence, including the scope, severity, duration and geographies of the outbreak, the actions taken or not taken to contain the outbreak or mitigate its impact requested or mandated by governmental authorities or otherwise voluntarily taken or not taken by individuals or businesses, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the illness and containment measures, among others.

We may be vulnerable to security breaches or cybersecurity incidents, which could disrupt our operations and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.

We rely extensively on information systems to process transactions, operate and manage our business. As with any IT system, our IT system and any third-party system on which we rely are vulnerable to failure and a variety of interruptions due to events, including, but not limited to, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, war, power outages, fire, sabotage, equipment failures, known and unknown cybersecurity vulnerabilities, and cyber-related attacks or computer crimes (e.g., ransomware and distributed denial-of-service attacks). Our ability to efficiently manage our business depends significantly on the reliability and capacity of these systems. The risk of a security breach or disruption, particularly through cyber-attack or cyber intrusion, including by computer hackers, foreign governments and cyber terrorists, has generally increased as the number, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions from around the world have increased. Our IT networks and related systems are essential to the operation of our business and our ability to perform day-to-day operations (including managing and operating our warehouses and our integrated solutions business), and, in some cases, may be critical to the operations of our customers. We have acquired and continue to acquire companies with cybersecurity vulnerabilities and unsophisticated security measures, which exposes us to

cybersecurity, operational, and financial risks, including where the IT systems of such companies have not been fully integrated into Lineage’s networks. The failure of our IT systems to perform as anticipated, and the failure to integrate disparate systems effectively or to collect data accurately and consolidate it in a usable manner efficiently could adversely affect our business through transaction errors, billing and invoicing errors, processing inefficiencies or errors and loss of sales, receivables, collections and customers, in each case, which could result in reputational damage and have an ongoing adverse effect on our business, results of operation and financial condition.

We recognize the increasing volume of cybersecurity incidents and employ commercially practical efforts to provide reasonable assurance such attacks are appropriately mitigated. There can be no assurance that our cybersecurity risk management program and processes, including our policies, controls or procedures, will be fully implemented, complied with or effective in protecting our systems and information. We may be required to expend significant financial resources and management time to protect against or respond to such breaches. Techniques used to breach security change frequently and are generally not recognized until launched against a target, so we may not be able to promptly detect that a security breach or unauthorized access has occurred. We also may not be able to implement security measures in a timely manner or, if and when implemented, we may not be able to determine the extent to which these measures could be circumvented. If an actual or perceived security breach occurs, the market’s perception of our security measures could be harmed and we could lose current and potential tenants, and such a breach could be harmful to our brand and reputation. Any breaches that may occur could expose us to increased risk of lawsuits, material monetary damages, potential violations of applicable privacy and other laws, penalties and fines, harm to our reputation and increases in our security and insurance costs. In the event of a breach resulting in loss of data, such as personally identifiable information or other such data protected by data privacy or other laws, we may be liable for damages, fines and penalties for such losses under applicable regulatory frameworks despite not handling the data. We cannot guarantee that any backup systems, regular data backups, security protocols, network protection mechanisms and other procedures currently in place, or that may be in place in the future, will be adequate to prevent network and service interruption, system failure, damage to one or more of our systems or data loss in the event of a security breach or attack. In addition, our customers rely extensively on computer systems to process transactions and manage their businesses and thus their businesses are also at risk from, and may be impacted by, cybersecurity attacks. An interruption in the business operations of our customers or a deterioration in their reputation resulting from a cybersecurity attack could indirectly impact our business operations. There can be no assurance that such potential liability will not exceed the applicable coverage limits under our insurance policies.

In addition, there can be no assurance that our efforts to maintain the security and integrity of these types of IT networks and related systems will be effective or that attempted security breaches or disruptions would not be successful or damaging. Like other businesses, we have been and expect to continue to be subject to unauthorized access, mishandling or misuse, computer viruses or malware, cybersecurity incidents and other events of varying degrees. Historically, these events have not significantly affected our operations or business and were not individually or in the aggregate material. While these incidents did not have a material impact on us, there can be no assurance that future incidents will not have a material adverse effect on us.

We depend on IT systems to operate our business, and issues with maintaining, upgrading, or implementing these systems, could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We rely on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of IT systems to process, transmit and store electronic information in our day-to-day operations. All IT systems are vulnerable to damage or interruption from a variety of sources. Our business has grown in size and complexity; this has placed, and will continue to place, significant demands on our IT systems. In connection with this growth, we rely on 83 fully- and semi-automated warehouses in a traditionally analog industry. To effectively manage this growth, our information systems and applications require an ongoing commitment of significant resources to maintain, protect, enhance and upgrade existing systems and develop and implement new systems to keep pace with changing technology and our business needs. We have invested in transformational technology initiatives, which include developing, acquiring and deploying both proprietary operating systems and third-party platforms. This investment encompasses migrating workloads to the cloud, implementing SaaS-based tools, rolling out next-generation SD-WAN, and upgrading our core human capital and financial ERP software. These initiatives are strategically designed to standardize, integrate and enhance the technological framework across our enterprise. This development entails certain risks, including difficulties with changes in business processes that could disrupt our operations, manage our supply chain and aggregate financial and operational data. We may continue to rely on legacy information systems, which may be costly or inefficient, while the implementation of new initiatives may not achieve the anticipated benefits and may divert management’s attention from other operational activities, negatively affect team member morale, or have other unintended consequences. Delays in integration or disruptions to our business from implementation of new or upgraded systems could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and operating results.

Additionally, if we are not able to accurately anticipate expenses and capitalized costs related to system upgrades and changes or if we are unable to realize the expected benefits from our technology initiatives, this may have an adverse impact on our financial condition and operating results.

We may be subject to risks associated with artificial intelligence.

We have incorporated artificial intelligence (“AI”) solutions into some of our information systems, offerings, services, and features, and these solutions, and possible future generative AI solutions, may become more important in our operations over time. The ever-increasing use and evolution of technology, including cloud-based computing and AI, creates opportunities for the potential loss or misuse of personal, confidential, and/or proprietary data that forms part of any data set and was collected, used, stored, or transferred to run our business, and unintentional dissemination or intentional destruction of confidential information stored in our or our third-party providers' systems, portable media, or storage devices, which may result in significantly increased business and security costs, a damaged reputation, administrative penalties, or costs related to defending legal claims. AI also presents emerging ethical issues and if our use of AI becomes controversial, we may experience brand or reputational harm, competitive harm, or legal liability.

The rapid evolution of AI, including potential government regulation of AI, will require significant resources to develop, test, and maintain our platform, offerings, services, and features to help us implement AI ethically in order to minimize unintended, harmful impact. The use of AI technology in our business processes requires a strong tailored governance framework. The regulatory framework for AI is continuously developing, and our internal governance framework over AI may fail to meet new emerging standards, which could lead to potential loss or misuse of data, or other harmful consequences.

If the information we rely upon to run our businesses were to be found to be inaccurate or unreliable, if we fail to maintain or protect our IT systems and data integrity effectively, if we fail to develop and implement new or upgraded systems to meet our business needs in a timely manner, or if we fail to anticipate, plan for or manage significant disruptions to these systems, our competitive position could be harmed, we could have operational disruptions, we could lose existing customers, have difficulty preventing, detecting, and controlling fraud, have disputes with customers, have regulatory sanctions or penalties imposed or other legal problems, incur increased operating and administrative expenses, lose revenues as a result of a data privacy breach or theft of intellectual property or suffer other adverse consequences, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Privacy and data security concerns, and data collection and transfer restrictions and related regulations may adversely affect our business.

Many foreign countries and governmental bodies, including the European Union, where we conduct business, have laws and regulations concerning the collection and use of personal data obtained from their residents or by businesses operating within their jurisdiction. These laws and regulations often are more restrictive than those in the United States. Laws and regulations in these jurisdictions apply broadly to the collection, use, storage, disclosure and security of data that identifies or may be used to identify or locate an individual, such as names, email addresses and, in some jurisdictions, IP addresses.

Recently, there has been heightened interest and enforcement focus on data protection regulations and standards both in the United States and abroad. For example, in January 2023, amendments to California’s Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 went into effect, increasing data privacy requirements for our business. We expect that there will continue to be new proposed laws, regulations and industry standards concerning privacy, data protection and information security in the United States, the European Union, and other jurisdictions. In addition, the European Commission adopted a General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), that became fully effective on May 25, 2018, superseding prior European Union data protection legislation, imposing more stringent European Union data protection requirements, and providing for greater penalties for noncompliance. The United Kingdom enacted the Data Protection Act that substantially implements the GDPR. More generally, we cannot yet fully determine the impact these or future laws, regulations and standards may have on our business. Privacy, data protection and information security laws and regulations are often subject to differing interpretations, may be inconsistent among jurisdictions, and may be alleged to be inconsistent with our current or future practices. Additionally, we may be bound by contractual requirements applicable to our collection, use, processing, and disclosure of various types of data, including personal data, and may be bound by, or voluntarily comply with, self-regulatory or other industry standards related to these matters. These and other requirements could increase our costs, impair our ability to grow our business, or restrict our ability to store and process data or, in some cases, impact our ability to operate our business in some locations and may subject us to liability. Any failure or perceived failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations, industry standards, and contractual obligations may adversely affect our business.

Further, in view of new or modified foreign laws and regulations, industry standards, contractual obligations and other legal obligations, or any changes in their interpretation, we may find it necessary or desirable to fundamentally change our business activities and practices or to expend significant resources to adapt to these changes. We may be unable to make such changes and modifications in a commercially reasonable manner or at all.

The costs of compliance with and other burdens imposed by laws, regulations and standards may limit the use and adoption of our service and reduce overall demand for it. Failure to comply with applicable data protection regulations or standards may expose us to litigation, fines, sanctions or other penalties, which could damage our reputation and adversely impact our business, results of operation and financial condition. Privacy, information security, and data protection concerns may inhibit market adoption of our business, particularly in certain industries and foreign countries.

If any of the foregoing risks were to materialize, they could materially and adversely affect us.

We are subject to additional risks with respect to our current and potential international operations and properties.

As of December 31, 2025, we owned or had a leasehold interest in 207 temperature-controlled warehouses outside the United States. We also intend to strategically grow our portfolio globally through acquisitions of temperature-controlled warehouses in attractive international markets to service demonstrable customer demand where we believe the anticipated risk-adjusted returns are consistent with our investment objectives. However, there can be no assurance that our existing customer relationships will support our international operations in any meaningful way or at all. Our international operations and properties could be affected by factors specific to the laws, regulations and business practices of the jurisdictions in which our warehouses are located. These laws, regulations and business practices expose us to risks that are different than or in addition to those commonly found in the United States. Risks related to our international operations and properties include:

•changing governmental rules and policies, including changes in land use and zoning laws;

•enactment of laws related to the international ownership and leasing of real property or mortgages and laws restricting the ability to remove profits earned from activities within a particular country to a person’s or company’s country of origin;

•changes in laws or policies governing foreign trade or investment and use of foreign operations or workers, and any negative sentiments towards multinational companies as a result of any such changes to laws, regulations or policies or due to trends such as political populism and economic nationalism;

•variations in currency exchange rates and the imposition of currency controls;

•adverse market conditions caused by terrorism, civil unrest, natural disasters, infectious disease and changes in international, national or local governmental or economic conditions;

•the imposition of non-U.S. income and withholding taxes, value added taxes, and other taxes on dividends, interest, capital gains, income, gains, gross sales or other disposition proceeds and changes in real estate and other tax rates and other operating expenses in particular countries, including the potential imposition of adverse or confiscatory taxes;

•general political and economic instability;

•geopolitical risks, including the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and disruptions in the Suez Canal affecting the flow of trade out of Asia;

•potential liability under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and the U.K. Bribery Act 2010, anticorruption regulations with broad jurisdictional authority;

•our limited experience and expertise in foreign countries relative to our experience and expertise in the United States;

•restrictions on our ability to repatriate earnings generated from our international operations and adverse tax consequences in the applicable jurisdictions, such as double taxation;

•potential liability under, and costs of complying with, more stringent environmental laws or changes in the requirements or interpretation of existing laws, or environmental consequences of less stringent environmental management practices in foreign countries relative to the United States; and

•disruptions to our business or that of our customers and/or our suppliers and economic uncertainty and aggravated inflation in certain sectors resulting from trade tensions, tariffs imposed by the U.S. and other governments, actual or

threatened modifications to or withdrawals from international trade agreements, treaties, policies, tariffs, quotas or any other trade rules or restrictions.

If any of the foregoing risks were to materialize, they could materially and adversely affect us.

Competition in certain of our markets has increased recently and may increase further or in other markets over time if our competitors open new warehouses or expand their logistics or integrated service offerings that compete with our offerings.

We compete with other owners and operators of temperature-controlled warehouses (including our customers or potential customers who may choose to provide temperature-controlled warehousing in-house), some of which own properties similar to ours in similar geographic locations, as well as with various logistics companies. In recent years, certain of our competitors have added, through construction, development and acquisition, temperature-controlled warehouses in certain of our markets, which has caused pricing pressure and impacted occupancy and throughput in certain markets with excess capacity and may continue to do so. In addition, our customers or potential customers may choose to develop new temperature-controlled warehouses, expand their existing temperature-controlled warehouses or upgrade their equipment. As newer warehouses and equipment come onto the market, we may lose existing or potential customers, and we may be pressured to reduce our rent and storage and other fees below those we currently charge in order to retain customers. If we lose one or more customers, we cannot assure you that we would be able to replace those customers on attractive terms or at all. From time to time we invest in new construction, reposition or consolidate existing operations or warehouses, or temporarily idle existing warehouses in order to remain competitive or optimize our global warehousing network. To the extent these actions impact customers in affected warehouses, we strive to relocate them into other warehouses in our global warehousing network. However, such efforts may not be successful. Increased capital expenditures or the loss of global warehousing segment revenues resulting from lower occupancy or storage rates or the repositioning, consolidating, or idling of warehouses could have a material adverse effect on us. We may also compete with other logistics providers that are able to offer more attractive services or rates. Such competition may affect our profitability in respect of our integrated solutions services and our intended expansion of such services. In addition, such competition could make it difficult to gain new customers and expand our business with existing customers, which could continue to impede our utilization initiatives to increase physical occupancy. Such competition could also make it difficult to successfully implement our commercial optimization initiatives and our initiative to align rates with costs to serve, which could adversely impact our results of operations and our growth.

Power costs may increase or be subject to volatility, which could result in increased costs that we may be unable to recover.

Power is a major operating cost for temperature-controlled warehouses, and the price of power varies substantially between the markets in which we operate, depending on the power source and supply and demand factors. For each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 power costs in our global warehousing segment accounted for 8.8%, 8.8%, and 8.7% of the segment’s cost of operations, respectively. If the cost of electric power to operate our warehouses increases dramatically or fluctuates widely and we are unable to pass such costs through to customers, we could be materially and adversely affected.

Our programs across several of our warehouses to reduce overall consumption and consumption during peak demand periods, and to introduce alternative sources of energy through on-site solar and battery capacity and linear generators, may not be effective, which could adversely impact our growth and the predictability of our margins.

We have entered into, or may in the future enter into, fixed price power purchase agreements in certain deregulated markets whereby we contract for the right to purchase an amount of electric capacity at a fixed rate per kilowatt. Typically, these contracts do not obligate us to purchase any minimum amounts but would require negotiation if our capacity requirements were to materially differ from historical usage or exceed the thresholds agreed upon. For example, exceeding these thresholds could have an adverse impact on our incremental power purchase costs if we were to be unable to obtain favorable rates on the incremental purchases.

We depend on certain customers for a substantial amount of our revenues.

Our 25 largest customers contributed approximately 33% of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, we had four customers that each accounted for at least 2% of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025. In addition, as of December 31, 2025, approximately 50 of our warehouses were single-customer warehouses. If any of our most significant customers were to discontinue or otherwise reduce their use of our warehouses or other services, which they are generally free to do at any time, unless they are party to a contract that includes a minimum storage commitment or a long-term lease, we could be materially and adversely affected. While we have contracts with stated terms with

certain of our customers, many of our contracts do not obligate our customers to use our warehouses or provide for minimum storage commitments. Moreover, a decrease in demand for certain commodities or products produced by our significant customers and stored in our temperature-controlled warehouses would lower our physical occupancy rates and use of our services, without lowering our fixed costs, which could have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, any of our significant customers could experience a downturn in their businesses which may weaken their financial condition and liquidity and result in their failure to make timely payments to us or otherwise default under their contracts. Cancellation of, or failure of a significant customer to perform under, a contract could require us to seek replacement customers. However, there can be no assurance that we would be able to find suitable replacements on favorable terms in a timely manner or at all or reposition the warehouses without incurring significant costs. Moreover, a bankruptcy filing by or related to any of our significant customers could prevent or delay us from collecting pre-bankruptcy obligations. The bankruptcy, insolvency or financial deterioration of our significant customers, could materially and adversely affect us. In addition, some of our significant customers also utilize our integrated solutions, and a loss of such customer as a warehouse customer would also impact our integrated solutions segment, thereby exacerbating the risks described above.

In addition, while some of our warehouses are located in primary markets, others are located in secondary and tertiary markets that are specifically suited to the particular needs of the customer utilizing these warehouses. For example, our production advantaged warehouses typically serve one or a small number of customers. These warehouses are also generally located adjacent to or otherwise in close proximity to customer processing or production facilities and were often build-to-suit at the time of their construction. If customers who utilize this type of warehouse, which may be located in remote areas, relocate their processing or production plants, default or otherwise cease to use our warehouses, then we may be unable to find replacement customers for these warehouses on favorable terms or at all or, if we find replacement customers, we may have to incur significant costs to reposition these warehouses for the replacement customers’ needs, any of which could have a material adverse effect on us.

Interest rate and hedging activity exposes us to risks, including the risks that a counterparty will not perform and that the hedge will not yield the economic benefits we anticipate.

We hedge our interest rate risk through the use of hedging arrangements. 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.

Our business operations outside the United States expose us to losses resulting from currency fluctuations, as the revenues associated with our international operations and properties are typically generated in the local currency of each of the countries in which the properties are located. Fluctuations in exchange rates between these currencies and the U.S. dollar will therefore give rise to non-U.S. currency exposure, which could materially and adversely affect us. We hedge this exposure by incurring operating costs in the same currency as the revenue generated by the related property. We also attempt to mitigate any such effects by entering into currency exchange rate hedging arrangements where it is practical to do so and where such hedging arrangements are available and by structuring debt in local currency. As of December 31, 2025, we were a party to interest rate swaps on our variable rate indebtedness. Periodically we enter into foreign currency forward contracts to manage our exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates. In addition, we have entered into certain forward contracts in order to fix power costs for anticipated electricity requirements.

These hedging arrangements may bear substantial costs, however, and may not eliminate all related risks. These hedging transactions also 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 foreign exchange rate, interest rate, and power cost changes. We cannot assure you that our efforts will successfully mitigate our currency risks. Moreover, if we do engage in currency exchange rate hedging activities, any income recognized with respect to these hedges (as well as any foreign currency gain recognized with respect to changes in exchange rates) may not qualify under the 75% gross income test or the 95% gross income test that we must satisfy annually in order to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Accordingly, our ability to enter into hedging activities may be limited. In addition, changes in foreign currency exchange rates used to value a REIT’s foreign assets may be considered changes in the value of the REIT’s assets. These changes may adversely affect our status as a REIT. Further, bank accounts in a foreign currency which are not considered cash or

cash equivalents may adversely affect our status as a REIT. 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 foreign exchange rates, interest rates and power cost changes could have a material adverse effect on us.

We may incur liabilities or harm our reputation as a result of quality-control issues associated with our global warehouse storage business and other services provided by our integrated solutions business.

We store frozen and perishable food and other products and provide food processing, repackaging and other services. Product contamination, spoilage, other adulteration, product tampering or other quality control issues could occur at any of our facilities or during the transportation of these products, which could cause our customers to lose all or a portion of their inventory. We could be liable for the costs incurred by our customers as a result of the lost inventory, and we also may be subject to liability, which could be material, if any of the frozen and perishable food products we stored, processed, repackaged or transported caused injury, illness or death. The occurrence of any of the foregoing may negatively impact our brand and reputation and otherwise have a material adverse effect on us.

We are subject to risks related to corporate social and environmental responsibility and reputation.

A number of factors influence our reputation and brand value, including how we are perceived by our customers, business partners, investors, team members, other stakeholders and the communities in which we do business. We face increasing, evolving, and diverging scrutiny related to environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) activities and disclosures and risk damage to our reputation if we fail to act appropriately or responsibly in ESG matters, including, among others, environmental stewardship, supply chain management, climate change, human rights, diversity, equity and inclusion (“DEI”), workplace ethics and conduct, philanthropic activity and support for the communities we serve and in which we operate. Increasingly, different stakeholder groups have divergent views on ESG or DEI matters, which increases the risk that any action or lack thereof with respect to ESG matters will be perceived negatively by at least some stakeholders and adversely impact our reputation and business. Any damage to our reputation could impact the willingness of our business partners and customers to do business with us, or could negatively impact our team member hiring, engagement and retention, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and cash flows. We could also incur additional costs and devote additional resources to monitoring, reporting, and implementing various ESG practices.

We may be unable to achieve or demonstrate progress on our net-zero goal, or face heightened scrutiny, for our global operations by calendar 2040.

In 2021, we announced we had signed onto The Climate Pledge and committed to a goal to achieve net-zero by calendar 2040. Achievement of this goal depends on our execution of operational strategies related to energy efficiency measures, onsite energy generation and storage, and network-wide standards to minimize and eliminate carbon emissions associated with daily operations.

Execution of these strategies, as well as demonstrable progress on and achievement of our calendar 2040 net-zero goal, is subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully execute our strategies, or execute on time, and achieve or demonstrate progress on our calendar 2040 net-zero goal. Additionally, we may determine that it is in our best interests to prioritize other business, social, governance or sustainable investments and/or initiatives over the achievement of our calendar 2040 net-zero goal based on economic, legal, regulatory or social factors, business strategy or other reasons. Failure to achieve or demonstrate progress on our calendar 2040 net-zero goal could damage our reputation and customer and other stakeholder relationships.

Our temperature-controlled warehouse infrastructure and systems may become obsolete or unmarketable, and we may not be able to upgrade our equipment cost-effectively or at all.

The infrastructure at our temperature-controlled warehouses and systems may become obsolete or unmarketable due to the development of, or demand for, more advanced equipment or enhanced technologies, including increased automation of our warehouses. Increased automation may entail significant time and start-up costs and lost revenue opportunity, and may not perform as expected. In addition, our IT platform pursuant to which we provide inventory management and other services to our

customers may become outdated. When customers demand new equipment or technologies, the cost could be significant and we may not be able to upgrade our warehouses on a cost-effective basis in a timely manner, or at all, due to, among other things, increased expenses to us that cannot be passed on to customers or insufficient resources to fund the necessary capital expenditures. The obsolescence of our infrastructure or our inability to upgrade our warehouses would likely reduce global warehousing segment revenues, which could have a material adverse effect on us.

The transportation services provided by our integrated solutions business are dependent in part on in-house trucking services and in part on third-party truckload carrier and rail services, each of which subjects us to risks.

We use in-house trucking transportation services to provide refrigerated transportation services to certain customers. The potential liability associated with accidents in the trucking industry is severe and occurrences are unpredictable. A material increase in the frequency or severity of accidents or workers’ compensation claims or the unfavorable development of existing claims could materially and adversely affect our results of operations. In the event that accidents occur, we may be unable to obtain desired contractual indemnities, and, although we believe our aggregate insurance limits should be sufficient to cover our historic claims amounts, the commercial trucking industry has experienced a wave of blockbuster or so-called “nuclear” verdicts, including some instances in which juries have awarded hundreds of millions of dollars to those injured in accidents and their families. As a result, our insurance coverage may prove inadequate in certain cases. The occurrence of an event not fully insured or indemnified against or the failure or inability of a customer or insurer to meet its indemnification or insurance obligations could result in substantial losses. Moreover, in connection with any such delays or disruptions, or if customers’ products are damaged or destroyed during transport, we may incur financial obligations or be subject to lawsuits by our customers. Any of these risks could have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, our trucking services are subject to regulation as a motor carrier by the U.S. Department of Transportation, by various state agencies and by similar authorities in our international operations, whose regulations include certain permit requirements of state highway and safety authorities. These regulatory authorities exercise broad powers over our trucking operations. The trucking industry is subject to possible regulatory and legislative changes that may impact our operations and affect the economics of the industry by requiring changes in operating practices or by changing the demand for or the costs of providing trucking services. Some of these possible changes include increasingly stringent fuel emission limits, including potential limits on carbon emissions, changes in the regulations that govern the amount of time a driver may drive or work in any specific period, classification of independent drivers, “restart” rules, limits on vehicle weight and size and other matters including safety requirements.

We also act as a transportation broker and depend on third-party truckload carriers and rail services to transport customer inventory. We do not have an exclusive or long-term contractual relationship with third-party trucking or rail service providers, and there can be no assurance that our customers will have uninterrupted or unlimited access to their transportation assets or services. Additionally, we may not be able to renegotiate additional transportation contracts to expand capacity, add additional routes, obtain multiple providers, or obtain services at current cost levels, any of which may limit the availability of services to our customers. Our ability to secure the services of these third parties, or increases in the prices we or our customers must pay to secure such services, is affected by many factors outside our control and failure to secure transportation services, or to obtain such services on desirable terms, may adversely affect us.

Factors outside our control could adversely affect our ability to offer transportation services, which could reduce the confidence our customers have in our ability to provide transportation services and could impair our ability to retain existing customers and/or attract new customers and could otherwise increase operating costs, reduce profits and affect our relationships with our customers. Such factors include increases in the cost of transportation services, including in relation to any increase in fuel costs, the overall attractiveness of transportation service options, changes in the reliability of available transportation options, transportation delays or disruptions, including those caused by weather-related events, labor shortages, supply-chain issues and delays related to manufacture and delivery of new equipment, equipment failures and national security or other incidents that affect transportation routes or rail lines.

We may be unable to maintain railcar assets on lease at satisfactory lease rates.

The profitability of our railcar leasing business depends on our ability to lease railcars to customers at satisfactory lease rates, to re-lease railcars at satisfactory lease rates upon the expiration and non-renewal of existing leases, and to sell railcars in the secondary market as part of our ordinary course of business. Our ability to accomplish these objectives is dependent upon several factors, including, among others:

•the cost of and demand for leases or ownership of newer or specific-use railcar types;

•the general availability in the market of competing used or new railcars;

•the degree of obsolescence of leased or unleased railcars, including railcars subject to regulatory obsolescence;

•the prevailing market and economic conditions, including the availability of credit, interest rates, and inflation rates;

•the market demand or governmental mandate for refurbishment; and

•the volume and nature of railcar traffic and loadings.

A downturn in the industries in which our lessees operate and decreased demand for railcars could also increase our exposure to re-marketing risk because lessees may demand shorter lease terms or newer railcars, requiring us to re-market leased railcars more frequently. Furthermore, the resale market for previously leased railcars has a limited number of potential buyers. Our inability to re-lease or sell leased or unleased railcars in a timely manner on favorable terms could result in lower lease rates, lower lease utilization percentages, and reduced revenues and operating profit.

Our railcar leasing business is regulated by multiple governmental regulatory agencies, such as the U.S. Department of Transportation and the administrative agencies it oversees and industry authorities such as the Association of American Railroads. All such agencies and authorities promulgate rules, regulations, specifications, or operating standards affecting railcar design, configuration, and mechanics; maintenance; and rail-related safety standards for railroad equipment. Future regulatory changes or the determination that our railcars are not in compliance with applicable requirements, rules, regulations, specifications or standards could result in additional operating expenses, administrative fines or penalties or loss of business that could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operations.

We depend on key personnel and specialty personnel, and a deterioration of employee relations could harm our business and operating and financial results.

Our success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of certain key personnel, including our Co-Executive Chairmen, Adam Forste and Kevin Marchetti, as well as our President and Chief Executive Officer, Greg Lehmkuhl, each of whom would be difficult to replace. If any of our key personnel were to cease employment with us, our operating and financial results could suffer. Further, such a loss could be negatively perceived in the capital markets. We have not obtained and do not expect to obtain key man life insurance on any of our key personnel. Our ability to retain our management group or to attract suitable replacements should any members of our management team leave is dependent on the competitive nature of the employment market. The loss of services from key members of our management team or a limitation of their availability could materially and adversely affect us.

We also believe that our future success, particularly in international markets, will depend in large part upon our ability to hire and retain highly skilled managerial, investment, financing, operational and marketing personnel. The customer service, marketing skills and knowledge of local market demand and competitive dynamics of our employees are contributing factors to our ability to maximize our income and to achieve the highest sustainable storage levels at each of our warehouses. We may be unsuccessful in attracting and retaining such skilled personnel. In addition, our temperature-controlled warehouse business depends on the continued availability of skilled personnel with engineering expertise and experience. Competition for such personnel is intense, and we may be unable to hire and retain such personnel.

We could experience power outages, disruptions in the supply of utilities, outbreak of fire or other calamity or breakdowns of our refrigeration equipment.

Our warehouses are subject to electrical power outages, disruptions in the supply of utilities such as water, outbreak of fire or other calamity and breakdowns of our refrigeration equipment. We attempt to limit exposure to such occasions by conducting regular maintenance and upgrades to our refrigeration equipment, and, in several locations, using backup generators and power supplies, generally at a significantly higher operating cost than we would pay for an equivalent amount of power from a local utility. However, we may not be able to limit our exposure entirely even with these protections in place. Power outages that last beyond our backup and alternative power arrangements and refrigeration equipment breakdowns would harm our customers and our business. During prolonged power outages and refrigeration equipment breakdowns, changes in humidity and temperature could spoil or otherwise contaminate the frozen and perishable food and other products stored by our customers. We could incur financial obligations to, or be subject to lawsuits by, our customers in connection with these occurrences, which may not be covered by insurance. Any loss of services or product damage could reduce the confidence of our customers in our services and could consequently impair our ability to attract and retain customers. Additionally, in the event of the complete failure of our refrigeration equipment, we would incur significant costs in repairing or replacing our refrigeration equipment, which may not be

covered by insurance. In addition, an outbreak of fire in a warehouse could result in significant damage or even total loss of the warehouse, which would harm our customers and our business, and the business interruption insurance we carry may not be sufficient to compensate us fully for losses or damages that may occur because of such events. In April 2024, we experienced a fire at a warehouse, which represented 0.5% of our global warehousing segment revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023, that resulted in a complete loss of the warehouse. There can be no assurance that insurance will be sufficient to fully compensate us for all losses. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on us.

We hold leasehold interests in over 100 of our warehouses, and we may be forced to vacate our warehouses if we default on our obligations thereunder and we will be forced to vacate our warehouses if we are unable to renew such leases upon their expiration.

As of December 31, 2025, we held leasehold interests in over 100 of our warehouses. These leases have a weighted average remaining term of 15 years. If we default on any of these leases, we may be liable for damages and could lose our leasehold interest in the applicable property, including all improvements. We would incur significant costs if we were forced to vacate any of these leased warehouses due to, among other matters, the high costs of relocating the equipment in our warehouses. If we were forced to vacate any of these leased warehouses, we could lose customers that chose our storage or other services based on our location, which could have a material adverse effect on us. Our landlords could attempt to evict us for reasons beyond our control. Further, we may be unable to maintain good working relationships with our landlords, which could adversely affect our relationship with our customers and could result in the loss of customers. In addition, we cannot assure you that we will be able to renew these leases prior to their expiration dates on favorable terms or at all. If we are unable to renew our lease agreements, we will lose our right to operate these warehouses and be unable to derive revenues from these warehouses and, in the case of ground leases, we forfeit all improvements on the land. We could also lose the customers using these warehouses who are unwilling to relocate to another one of our warehouses, which could have a material adverse effect on us.

Our results of operations are affected by certain commodity markets.

Our results of operations are affected by certain commodity markets. Changes in the overall environment affecting any specific commodity can have a significant and potentially negative impact on our results of operation. The commodity markets may be affected by factors such as weather patterns, fluctuations in input prices, trade barriers, international political conflicts, change in consumer preference, disease outbreaks, seasonal availability, or overall economic conditions. Our concentration of customers in commodity businesses ties our performance to the health of the commodity markets. Any adverse change in the commodity markets may have negative derivative impact on our financial performance.

We face ongoing litigation risks which could result in material liabilities and harm to our business regardless of whether we prevail in any particular matter.

We operate in multiple U.S. and international jurisdictions, with thousands of team members and business counterparts. As such, there is an ongoing risk that we may become involved in legal disputes or litigation with these parties or others. For example, refer to the St. Clair Lawsuit, as defined and discussed in Note 20, Commitments and contingencies to our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report. The costs and liabilities with respect to such legal disputes may be material and may exceed our amounts accrued, if any, for such liabilities and costs. In addition, our defense of legal disputes or resulting litigation could result in the diversion of our management’s time and attention from the operation of our business, each of which could impede our ability to achieve our business objectives. Some or all of the amounts we may be required to pay to defend or to satisfy a judgment or settlement of any or all of our disputes and litigation may not be covered by insurance.

We are a “controlled company” within the meaning of Nasdaq rules and, as a result, qualify for, and may rely on, exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. You do not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to such requirements.

BGLH and affiliates continue to control a majority of the combined voting power of all classes of our stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors. Moreover, under the stockholders agreement, so long as BGLH and its affiliates together continue to beneficially own at least 5% of the total outstanding equity interests in our company, we agree to nominate for election to our board of directors individuals designated by BGLH, whom we refer to as the “BGLH Directors,” as specified in our stockholders agreement. As a result, we are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq corporate governance standards. Under these rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power in the election of directors is held by an

individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including the requirements that:

•a majority of our board of directors consist of independent directors;

•our board of directors have a compensation committee that is comprised entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities; and

•our board of directors have a nominating and corporate governance committee that is comprised entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities.

Although the majority of our board of directors consists of independent directors, our compensation and nominating and corporate governance committees are not composed entirely of independent directors, and we may utilize any of these exemptions prior to the time we cease to be a “controlled company.” Accordingly, to the extent and for so long as we utilize these exemptions, you will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of these corporate governance requirements. Accordingly, you do not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.

We have and expect to continue to incur increased costs as a result of operating as a newly public company, and our management is required to devote substantial time and attention to compliance efforts.

We have and expect to continue to incur legal, accounting, insurance, and other expenses as a result of becoming a public company following our 2024 IPO. As a public company with listed equity securities, we need to comply with new laws, regulations and requirements, including the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, certain corporate governance provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, related regulations of the SEC and requirements of Nasdaq, with which we were not required to comply as a private company. The Exchange Act requires that we file annual, quarterly, and current reports with respect to our business, operations, and financial statements. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that we establish and maintain effective internal controls and procedures for financial reporting.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires our management and independent registered public accounting firm to report annually on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting beginning with our second Annual Report on Form 10-K. Substantial work on our part has been done to implement appropriate processes, document the system of internal control over key processes, assess their design, remediate any deficiencies identified, and test their operation. These reporting and other obligations place significant demands on our management and our administrative, operational, and accounting resources, and we may continue to incur significant expenses to maintain the processes implemented.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately determine or disclose our financial results. As a result, our stockholders could lose confidence in our financial results.

As a publicly-traded company, we are required to maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file with, or submit to, the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. They include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed with, or submitted to, the SEC is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Effective disclosure controls and procedures are necessary for us to provide reliable reports, effectively prevent and detect fraud, and to operate successfully as a public company. Designing and implementing effective disclosure controls and procedures is a continuous effort that requires significant resources and devotion of time. We have discovered and may continue to discover deficiencies in our disclosure controls and procedures that may be difficult or time consuming to remediate in a timely manner. Any failure to maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures or to timely effect any necessary improvements thereto could cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations (which could affect the listing of our common stock on Nasdaq). Additionally, ineffective disclosure controls and procedures could also adversely affect our ability to prevent or detect fraud, harm our reputation and cause investors to lose confidence in our reports filed with, or submitted to, the SEC, which would likely have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock.

We identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025. Material weaknesses or a failure to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting could prevent us from

accurately reporting our financial results in a timely manner, which would likely have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock.

We rely on our internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). More broadly, effective internal control over financial reporting is a necessary component of our program to seek to prevent, and to detect any, fraud and to operate successfully as a public company.

As disclosed in Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting included in Part II Item 9A. of this Annual Report, as of December 31, 2025, management identified a material weakness related to ineffective information technology general controls (“ITGCs”) in the areas of user access and program change management for certain systems supporting the Company’s financial reporting and related processes. These deficiencies, in aggregate, could impact maintaining effective segregation of duties, as well as the effectiveness of IT-dependent controls (such as automated controls that address the risk of material misstatement to one or more assertions, along with the IT controls and underlying data that support the effectiveness of system-generated data and reports) that could result in misstatements potentially impacting all financial statement accounts and disclosures that would not be prevented or detected. There can be no assurance that the remediation efforts we have committed to will be successful or that we will not identify material weaknesses in our ITGCs in the future.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. If we are unable to remediate the material weakness, or are otherwise unable to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, it could adversely affect our ability to prevent or detect fraud, harm our reputation, subject us to regulatory scrutiny, and cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which would likely have a negative effect on the market price of our common stock.

Charges for impairment of goodwill, long-lived assets, or finite lived intangible assets and declines in real estate valuations could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

We regularly monitor the recoverability of our long-lived assets, such as buildings and improvements and machinery and equipment, and our finite lived intangible assets, such as customer relationships, and evaluate their carrying values for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be fully recoverable or when the assets are held for sale. We evaluate goodwill on an annual basis to determine if impairment has occurred and evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets and finite lived intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred or the value of such assets may not be fully recoverable. Examples of indicators of potential impairment of our long-lived assets and finite lived intangible assets may include material adverse changes in projected revenues or operating performance measures, a pattern of net losses, significant relevant negative industry trends, internal plans to dispose of an asset group, significant deterioration in the condition of the asset, and an identified impairment of related goodwill or other non-amortizable intangible assets. Examples of indicators of potential impairment of goodwill may include the financial performance of the reporting unit as compared to budget, macroeconomic conditions, labor and energy cost trends, growth in pricing of our capital raises, and other events and trends impacting fair values of our reporting units. If such reviews indicate that impairment has occurred, we are required to record a non-cash impairment charge for the difference between the carrying value and fair value of the asset or reporting unit in the period the determination is made.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, we recorded a $35 million impairment of long-lived assets, primarily related to impairment of an entire warehouse in Kennewick, Washington due to a fire, and a $63 million impairment of finite lived intangible assets related to two customer relationship assets in the Global Integrated Solutions segment. For the year ended December 31, 2025, we recorded a $28 million goodwill impairment in our Global Integrated Solutions segment and a $20 million goodwill impairment in our Global Warehousing segment. The testing of long-lived assets and goodwill for impairment requires the use of estimates based on significant assumptions about our future revenue, profitability, cash flows, fair value of assets and liabilities, weighted average cost of capital, as well as other assumptions. Changes in these estimates, or changes in actual performance compared with these estimates, may affect the fair value of long-lived assets, finite lived intangible assets, or goodwill, which could result in additional impairment charges.

Geopolitical conflicts may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

We have operations or activities in numerous countries and regions outside the United States, including throughout Europe and Asia-Pacific. As a result, our global operations are affected by economic, political, and other conditions in the foreign countries in which we do business, as well as U.S. laws regulating international trade.

For example, the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the related sanctions against Russia have caused us to make changes in our supply chain and have significantly impacted some of our customers’ businesses, which adversely impacted our operations. This and other geopolitical conflicts and any retaliatory measures that could be taken in the future, by the U.S., NATO, and other countries have created global security concerns that could result in broader military and political conflicts and otherwise have a substantial impact on regional and global economies, any or all of which could adversely affect our business.

The geopolitical instability could lead to increased inflation, significant volatility in capital markets, increased cyberattacks, challenges in our transportation network, disruptions in global supply chains, specifically within the food supply chain and construction materials, increased exposure to foreign currency fluctuations, and other potential issues that could have an adverse impact on our business.

General Risks Related to the Real Estate Industry

Our performance and value are subject to economic conditions affecting the real estate market generally, and temperature-controlled warehouses in particular, as well as the broader economy.

Our performance and value depend on the amount of revenues earned, as well as the expenses incurred, in connection with operating our warehouses. If our temperature-controlled warehouses do not generate revenues and operating cash flows sufficient to meet our operating expenses, including debt service and capital expenditures, we could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, there are significant expenditures associated with our real estate (such as real estate taxes, maintenance costs and debt service payments) that generally do not decline when circumstances reduce the revenues from our warehouses. Accordingly, our expenditures may stay constant, or increase, even if our revenues decline. The real estate market is affected by many factors that are beyond our control, and revenues from, and the value of, our properties may be materially and adversely affected by:

•changes in the national, international or local economic climate;

•availability, cost, and terms of financing;

•technological changes, such as expansion of e-commerce, reconfiguration of supply chains, automation, robotics or other technologies;

•the attractiveness of our properties to potential customers;

•inability to collect storage charges, rent, and other fees from customers;

•the ongoing need for, and significant expense of, capital improvements and addressing obsolescence in a timely manner, particularly in older structures;

•changes in supply of, or demand for, similar or competing properties in an area;

•customer retention and turnover;

•excess supply in the market area;

•availability of labor and transportation to service our sites;

•financial difficulties, defaults or bankruptcies by our customers;

•changes in operating costs and expenses and a general decrease in real estate property rental rates;

•changes in or increased costs of compliance with governmental rules, regulations and fiscal policies, including changes in tax, real estate, environmental and zoning laws, and our potential liability thereunder;

•our ability to provide adequate maintenance and insurance;

•changes in the cost or availability of insurance, including coverage for mold or asbestos;

•unanticipated changes in costs associated with known adverse environmental conditions, newly discovered environmental conditions and retained liabilities for such conditions;

•changes in interest rates or other changes in monetary policy;

•disruptions in the global supply-chain caused by political, regulatory or other factors such as terrorism, political instability, and public health crises; and

•civil unrest, acts of war, terrorist attacks, and natural disasters, including earthquakes and floods, which may result in uninsured and underinsured losses.

In addition, periods of economic slowdown or recession, rising interest rates or declining demand for real estate, or the public perception that any of these events may occur, could result in a general decrease in rates or an increased occurrence of defaults under existing contracts, which could materially and adversely affect us. For these and other reasons, we cannot assure you that we will be able to achieve our business objectives.

We could incur significant costs under environmental laws related to the presence and management of asbestos, anhydrous ammonia, and other chemicals and underground storage tanks.

Environmental laws in certain jurisdictions require that owners or operators of buildings containing asbestos properly manage asbestos, adequately inform or train those who may come into contact with asbestos and undertake special precautions, including removal or other abatement, in the event that asbestos is damaged, is decayed, poses a health risk or is disturbed during building renovation or demolition. These laws impose fines and penalties on building owners or operators who fail to comply with these requirements and may allow third parties to seek recovery from owners or operators for personal injury associated with exposure to asbestos and other toxic or hazardous substances. Some of our properties may contain asbestos or asbestos-containing building materials. Asbestos exposure can also cause damage to our customers’ goods stored with us.

Most of our warehouses utilize anhydrous ammonia as a refrigerant. Anhydrous ammonia is classified as a hazardous chemical regulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, or the EPA and similar international agencies. Releases of anhydrous ammonia occur at our warehouses from time to time, which we have historically identified and reported when required, and any number of unplanned events, including severe storms, fires, earthquakes, vandalism, equipment failure, operational errors, accidents, deliberate acts of team members or third parties, and terrorist acts could result in a significant release of anhydrous ammonia that could result in injuries, loss of life, property damage and a significant interruption at affected facilities. Anhydrous ammonia exposure can also cause damage to our customers’ goods stored with us.

Although our warehouses have risk management programs required by the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, as amended, or OSHA, the EPA and other regulatory agencies in place in the jurisdictions in which we operate, we could incur significant liability in the event of an unanticipated release of anhydrous ammonia from one of our refrigeration systems. Releases could occur at locations or at times when trained personnel may not be available to respond quickly, increasing the risk of injury, loss of life or property damage. Some of our warehouses are not staffed 24 hours a day and, as a result, we may not respond to intentional or accidental events during closed hours as quickly as we could during open hours, which could exacerbate any injuries, loss of life or property damage. We also could incur liability in the event we fail to report such anhydrous ammonia releases in a timely fashion.

Environmental laws and regulations subject us and our customers to liability in connection with the storage, handling and use of anhydrous ammonia and other hazardous substances utilized in our operations. Our warehouses also may have under-floor heating systems, some of which utilize ethylene glycol, petroleum compounds, or other hazardous substances; releases from these systems could potentially contaminate soil and groundwater.

We could incur significant costs related to environmental conditions, liabilities, and regulations.

The properties we own or have owned in the past may subject us to known and unknown environmental liabilities. Under various federal, state and local laws and regulations related to the environment, as a current or former owner or operator of real property, we may be liable for costs and damages resulting from environmental matters, including the presence or discharge of hazardous or toxic substances, waste or petroleum products at, on, in, under or migrating from such property, including costs to investigate or clean up such contamination and liability for personal injury, property damage or harm to natural resources. We may face liability regardless of:

•our knowledge of the contamination;

•the timing of the contamination;

•the cause of the contamination; or

•the party responsible for the contamination of the property.

There may be environmental liabilities associated with our properties of which we are unaware. In addition, some of our properties have been operated for decades and have known or potential environmental impacts. We obtain Phase I environmental site assessments on nearly all properties we finance or acquire. The Phase I environmental site assessments are limited in scope and therefore may not reveal all environmental conditions affecting a property. Therefore, there could be undiscovered environmental liabilities on the properties we own. Many of our properties contain, or may in the past have contained, features that pose environmental risks including underground tanks for the storage of petroleum products and other hazardous substances as well as floor drains and wastewater collection and discharge systems, hazardous materials storage areas and septic systems. All of these features create a potential for the release of petroleum products or other hazardous substances. Some of our properties are adjacent to or near properties that have known environmental impacts or have in the past stored or handled petroleum products or other hazardous substances that could have resulted in environmental impacts to soils or groundwater that could affect our properties. If environmental contamination exists on our properties, we could be subject to strict, joint and/or several liability for the contamination by virtue of our ownership interest. Some of our properties may contain asbestos-containing materials (“ACM”). Environmental laws govern the presence, maintenance and removal of ACM and such laws may impose fines, penalties, or other obligations for failure to comply with these requirements or expose us to third-party liability (e.g., liability for personal injury associated with exposure to asbestos). Environmental laws also apply to other activities that can occur on a property, such as storage of petroleum products or other hazardous toxic substances, air emissions, water discharges and exposure to lead-based paint. Such laws may impose fines and penalties for violations, and may require permits or other governmental approvals to be obtained for the operation of a business involving such activities.

The known or potential presence of hazardous substances on a property may adversely affect our ability to sell, lease or improve the property or to borrow using the property as collateral. In addition, environmental laws may create liens on contaminated properties in favor of the government for damages and costs it incurs to address such contamination. Moreover, if contamination is discovered on our properties, environmental laws may impose restrictions on the manner in which they may be used or businesses may be operated, and these restrictions may require substantial expenditures.

Our environmental liabilities may include property and natural resources damage, personal injury, investigation and clean-up costs, among other potential environmental liabilities. These costs could be substantial. Although we may obtain insurance for environmental liability for certain properties that are deemed to warrant coverage, our insurance may be insufficient to address any particular environmental situation and we may be unable to continue to obtain insurance for environmental matters, at a reasonable cost or at all, in the future. If our environmental liability insurance is inadequate, we may become subject to material losses for environmental liabilities. Our ability to receive the benefits of any environmental liability insurance policy will depend on the financial stability of our insurance company and the position it takes with respect to our insurance policies. If we were to become subject to significant environmental liabilities, we could be materially and adversely affected.

Moreover, there can be no assurance that we will not incur material liabilities in connection with both known and undiscovered environmental conditions arising out of past activities on our properties or our properties will not be materially and adversely affected by the operations of customers, environmental impacts, operations on neighboring properties (such as releases from underground storage tanks), or by the actions of parties unrelated to us.

Additionally, our operations are subject to a wide range of environmental laws and regulations in each of the locations in which we operate, and compliance with these requirements involves expertise, significant capital and operating costs. Failure to comply with these environmental requirements can result in civil or criminal fines or sanctions, claims for environmental damages, remediation obligations, revocation of permits or restrictions on our operations. There can be no assurance that future laws, ordinances, or regulations will not impose new material environmental obligations or costs, including the potential effects of climate change or new climate change regulations, and future changes in environmental laws or in the interpretation of those laws, including stricter requirements affecting our operations, could result in increased capital and operating costs.

The cost of resolving environmental, property damage, or personal injury claims, of compliance with environmental regulatory requirements, of paying fines or meeting new or stricter environmental requirements, or of remediating contaminated properties could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects, and, consequently, amounts available for distribution to our stockholders.

In the future, our customers may demand lower indirect emissions associated with the storage and transportation of frozen and perishable foods, which could lead customers to seek temperature-controlled storage from our competitors. Further, such demand could require us to implement various processes to reduce emissions from our operations in order to remain competitive, which could materially and adversely affect us.

Risks related to climate change could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Climate change, including the impact of global warming, creates physical and transition risks that may adversely affect our operations, financial condition and cash flows. As described in our 2025 Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (“TCFD”) report, as identified through a climate-related risk assessment and scenario analysis, we face exposure to acute physical risks, such as extreme heat, extreme precipitation, flooding, wildfires, and tropical cyclones, and chronic risks associated with long-term shifts in temperature and precipitation. These risks may result in considerable damage to our warehouses, disrupt our operations, and negatively affect our financial performance (whether or not caused by climate change).

In addition, climate-driven shifts in agricultural patterns and growing regions may reduce agricultural yields or crop quality and change sourcing regions, which could reduce demand for temperature-controlled storage and transport in specific areas, lower utilization of certain facilities, or require capital reallocation to new geographies. Such changes may increase revenue volatility and necessitate higher operating, transportation, or compliance costs. Additional risks related to our business and operations as a result of climate change include physical and transition risks such as:

•higher energy costs as a result of extreme weather events, extreme temperatures, or increased demand for limited resources;

•utility disruptions or outages due to demand or stress on electrical grids resulting from extreme weather events;

•limited availability of water and higher costs due to limited sources and droughts;

•higher materials cost due to limited availability and environmental impacts of extraction and processing of raw materials and production of finished goods;

•lost revenue or increased expense as a result of higher insurance costs, potential uninsured or under insured losses, diminished customer retention stemming from extreme weather events or resource availability constraints;

•reduced storage revenue due to crop damage or failure or to reduced protein production as a result of extreme weather events;

•decreased occupancy in certain regions as a result of global shifts in shipping routes to account for droughts, such as the ongoing drought in Panama, and extreme weather events;

•delays during transit of customers’ products resulting from natural disasters or extreme weather events; and

•spoiled, damaged, or destroyed customer inventory as a result of natural disasters or other serious disruptions caused by fire or earthquakes.

In addition, risks associated with new or more stringent laws or regulations or stricter interpretations of existing laws could directly or indirectly affect our customers and could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. For example, various federal, state and regional laws and regulations have been implemented or are under consideration to mitigate the effects of climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions. Among other things, “green” building codes may seek to reduce emissions through the imposition of standards for design, construction materials, water and energy usage and efficiency, and waste management. Such codes could require us to make improvements to our properties, increase the cost of maintaining, operating or improving our warehouses, or increase taxes and fees assessed on us. Changing transportation, fuel-efficiency, and electric-vehicle requirements may involve investments to replace or retrofit portions of our fleet, deploy charging infrastructure and adjust routing and scheduling. These changes could increase capital and operating costs and may require additional workforce training and compliance monitoring. Non-compliance could result in penalties or restricted market access.

Climate change regulations could also adversely impact companies with which we do business, which in turn may adversely impact our business, financial condition, results or operations or cash flows. In the future, our customers may demand lower indirect emissions associated with the storage and transportation of frozen and perishable food, which could make our facilities

less competitive. Further, such demand could require us to implement various processes to reduce emissions from our operations in order to remain competitive, which could materially and adversely affect us.

Our insurance coverage may be insufficient to cover potential environmental liabilities.

We maintain a portfolio environmental insurance policy that provides coverage for sudden and accidental environmental liabilities, subject to the policy’s coverage conditions, deductibles and limits, for most of our properties. There can be no assurance that future environmental claims will be covered under these policies or that, if covered, the loss will not exceed policy limits. From time to time, we may acquire properties, or interests in properties, with known adverse environmental conditions where we believe that the environmental liabilities associated with these conditions are quantifiable and that the acquisition will yield an attractive risk-adjusted return. In such an instance, we factor the estimated costs of environmental investigation, cleanup and monitoring into the net cost. Further, in connection with property dispositions, we may agree to remain responsible for, and to bear the cost of, remediating or monitoring certain environmental conditions on the properties. A failure to accurately estimate these costs, or uninsured environmental liabilities, could materially and adversely affect us.

Our properties may contain or develop harmful molds or have other air quality issues, which could lead to financial liability for adverse health effects to our employees or third parties, and costs of remediating the problem.

Our properties may contain or develop harmful molds or suffer from other air quality issues, which could lead to liability for adverse health effects and costs of remediating the problem. When excessive moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials, mold growth may occur, particularly if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or is not addressed over a period of time. Some molds produce airborne toxins or irritants. Indoor air quality issues can also stem from inadequate ventilation, poor equipment maintenance, chemical contamination from indoor or outdoor sources and other biological contaminants, such as pollen, viruses and bacteria. Indoor exposure to airborne toxins or irritants present above certain levels can cause a variety of adverse health effects and symptoms, including allergic or other reactions. As a result, the presence of significant mold or other airborne contaminants at any of our properties could require us to undertake a costly remediation program to contain or remove the mold or other airborne contaminants from the affected property, to reduce indoor moisture levels, or to upgrade ventilation systems to improve indoor air quality. In addition, the presence of significant mold or other airborne contaminants could expose us to liability from our team members, our customers, associates of our customers and others if property damage or health concerns arise.

Illiquidity of real estate investments, particularly our specialized temperature-controlled warehouses, could significantly impede our ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance of our business and properties.

Real estate investments are relatively illiquid, and given that our properties are highly specialized temperature-controlled warehouses, including built-in automation, our properties may be more illiquid than other real estate investments. This illiquidity is driven by a number of factors, including the specialized and often customer-specific design of our warehouses, the relatively small number of potential purchasers of temperature-controlled warehouses, the difficulty and expense of repurposing our warehouses and the location of some of our warehouses in secondary or tertiary markets. As a result, we may be unable to complete an exit strategy or quickly sell properties in our portfolio in response to adverse changes in the performance of our properties or in our business generally. We cannot predict whether we will be able to sell any property for the price or on the terms set by us or whether any price or other terms offered by a prospective buyer would be acceptable to us. We also cannot predict the length of time it would take to complete the sale of any such property. Such sales might also require us to expend funds to mitigate or correct defects to the property or make changes or improvements to the property prior to its sale. The ability to sell assets in our portfolio may also be restricted by certain covenants in our credit agreements. Code requirements related to our status as a REIT may also limit our ability to vary our portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions.

We could experience uninsured or under-insured losses related to our global warehousing business, including our real property, as well as our integrated solutions business.

We carry insurance for the risks arising out of our business and operations, including coverage on all of our properties in an amount that we believe adequately covers any potential casualty losses. However, there are certain losses, including losses from floods, earthquakes, acts of war or riots, that we are not generally insured against or that we are not generally fully insured against because it is not deemed economically feasible or prudent to do so. In addition, changes in the cost or availability of insurance could expose us to uninsured casualty losses. In the event that any of our properties incurs a casualty loss that is not covered by

insurance (in part or at all), the value of our assets will be reduced by the amount of any such uninsured loss, and we could experience a significant loss of capital invested and potential revenues in these properties. Any such losses could materially and adversely affect us. In addition, we may have no source of funding to repair or reconstruct the damaged property, and we cannot assure you that any such sources of funding will be available to us for such purposes in the future on favorable terms or at all. In the event of a fire, flood, or other occurrence involving the loss of or damage to stored products held by us but belonging to others, we may be liable for such loss or damage. In addition, the business interruption insurance we carry may not be sufficient to compensate us fully for losses or damages that may occur because of such events.

If we or one or more of our customers experiences a loss for which we are liable and that loss is uninsured or exceeds policy limits, we could lose the capital invested in the damaged properties as well as the anticipated future cash flows from those properties. In addition, if the damaged properties are subject to recourse indebtedness, we would continue to be liable for the indebtedness, even if these properties were irreparably damaged.

We are self-insured for workers’ compensation and health insurance under a large deductible program, meaning that we have accrued liabilities in amounts that we consider appropriate to cover losses in these areas. In addition, we maintain excess loss coverage to insure against losses in excess of the reserves that we have established for these claims in amounts that we consider appropriate. However, in the event that our loss experience exceeds our reserves and the limits of our excess loss policies, we could be materially and adversely affected.

Costs of complying with governmental laws and regulations could adversely affect us and our customers.

Our business is highly regulated at the federal, state and local level, as well as regulation outside of the United States in the jurisdictions in which we operate our business. The food industry in all jurisdictions in which we operate is subject to numerous government standards and regulations. While we believe that we are currently in compliance with all applicable government standards and regulations, there can be no assurance that all of our warehouses or our customers’ operations are currently in compliance with, or will be able to comply in the future with, all applicable standards and regulations or that the costs of compliance will not increase in the future.

All real property and the operations conducted on real property are subject to governmental laws and regulations related to environmental protection and human health and safety. For example, our U.S. warehouses are subject to regulation and inspection by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture and our domestic trucking operations are subject to regulation by the U.S. Department of Transportation and the U.S. Federal Highway Administration. In addition, our international facilities are subject to many local laws and regulations which govern a wide range of matters, including food safety, building, environmental, health and safety, hazardous substances, waste minimization, as well as specific requirements for the storage of meats, dairy products, fish, poultry, agricultural and other products. To the extent we fail to comply with existing food safety regulations or contractual obligations, or are required to comply with new regulations or obligations in the future, it could adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and prospects, as well as the amount of funds available for distribution to our stockholders. Any products destined for export must also satisfy applicable export requirements. We are required to comply with applicable economic and trade sanctions and export controls imposed by governments around the world with jurisdiction over the operations of our business. These measures can prohibit or restrict transactions and dealings with certain countries, territories, governments and persons. The failure to comply with such applicable laws and regulations could result in civil or criminal penalties, other remedial measures, and legal expenses, which could have a material and adverse effect on us. Our ability to operate and to satisfy our contractual obligations may be affected by permitting and compliance obligations arising under such laws and regulations. Some of these laws and regulations could increase our operating costs, result in fines or impose joint and several liability on customers, owners or operators for the costs to investigate or remediate contamination, regardless of fault or whether the acts causing the contamination were legal.

Some of these laws and regulations have been amended so as to require compliance with new or more stringent standards in the future. Compliance with new or more stringent laws or regulations or stricter interpretation of existing laws may require that we or our customers incur material expenditures. In addition, there are various governmental, environmental, fire, health, safety and similar regulations with which we and our customers may be required to comply and which may subject us and our customers to liability in the form of fines or damages for noncompliance. Any material expenditures, fines or damages imposed on our customers or us could directly or indirectly have a material adverse effect on us. In addition, changes in these governmental laws and regulations, or their interpretation by agencies and courts, could occur.

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended, or the ADA, generally requires that public buildings, including portions of our warehouses, be made accessible to disabled persons. Noncompliance could result in the imposition of fines by the

federal government or the award of damages to private litigants. If, under the ADA, we are required to make substantial alterations and capital expenditures in one or more of our warehouses, including the removal of access barriers, it could materially and adversely affect us.

Our U.S. properties are subject to regulation under OSHA, which requires employers to protect team members against many workplace hazards, such as exposure to harmful levels of toxic chemicals, excessive noise levels, mechanical dangers, heat or cold stress and unsanitary conditions. The cost of complying with OSHA and similar laws enacted by other jurisdictions in which we operate is substantial and any failure to comply with these regulations could expose us to penalties and potentially to liabilities to team members who may be injured at our warehouses, any of which could be material. Furthermore, any fines or violations that we face under OSHA could expose us to reputational risk.

We are currently invested in various joint ventures and may invest in additional joint ventures in the future and face risks stemming from our partial ownership interests in such properties, which could materially and adversely affect the value of any such joint venture investments.

Our current and future joint-venture investments involve risks not present in investments in which a third party is not involved, including the possibility that:

•we and a co-venturer or partner may reach an impasse on a major decision that requires the approval of both parties;

•we may not have exclusive control over the development, financing, management and other aspects of the property or joint venture, which may prevent us from taking actions that are in our best interest but opposed by a co-venturer or partner;

•a co-venturer or partner may at any time have economic or business interests or goals that are or may become inconsistent with ours;

•a co-venturer or partner may encounter liquidity or insolvency issues or may become bankrupt, which may mean that we and any other remaining co-venturers or partners generally would remain liable for the joint venture’s liabilities;

•a co-venturer or partner may be in a position to take action contrary to our instructions, requests, policies or investment objectives, including our current policy with respect to maintaining our qualification as a REIT under the Code;

•a co-venturer or partner may take actions that subject us to liabilities in excess of, or other than, those contemplated;

•in certain circumstances, we may be liable for actions of our co-venturer or partner;

•our joint venture agreements may restrict the transfer of a co-venturer’s or partner’s interest or otherwise restrict our ability to sell the interest when we desire or on advantageous terms;

•our joint venture agreements may contain buy-sell provisions pursuant to which one co-venturer or partner may initiate procedures requiring the other co-venturer or partner to choose between buying the other co-venturer’s or partner’s interest or selling its interest to that co-venturer or partner;

•if a joint venture agreement is terminated or dissolved, we may not continue to own or operate the interests or investments underlying the joint venture relationship or may need to purchase such interests or investments at a premium to the market price to continue ownership; or

•disputes between us and a co-venturer or partner may result in litigation or arbitration that could increase our expenses and prevent our management from focusing their time and attention on our business.

Any of the above could materially and adversely affect the value of our current joint venture investment or any future joint venture investments and potentially have a material adverse effect on us.

Risks Related to Our Indebtedness

We have significant indebtedness outstanding, which may expose us to the risk of default under our debt obligations.

As of December 31, 2025, we had $6.1 billion of total consolidated indebtedness outstanding, of which $0.5 billion was secured, and borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility of $1.9 billion (net of outstanding standby letters of credit in the amount of $61 million, which reduce availability). See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and

Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Outstanding Indebtedness.” We expect to meet our repayment requirements primarily through financing activity or net cash from operating activities. Our organizational documents contain no limitations regarding the maximum level of indebtedness that we may incur or keep outstanding. Payments of principal and interest on borrowings may leave us with insufficient cash resources to meet our cash needs or make the distributions to our common stockholders currently contemplated or necessary to maintain our status as a REIT. Our level of debt and the limitations imposed on us by our debt agreements could have significant adverse consequences, including the following:

•our cash flow may be insufficient to meet our required principal and interest payments;

•cash interest expense and financial covenants related to our indebtedness may limit or eliminate our ability to make distributions to our common stockholders;

•we may be unable to borrow additional funds as needed or on favorable terms, which could, among other things, adversely affect our ability to capitalize upon investment opportunities or meet operational needs;

•we may be unable to refinance our indebtedness at maturity or the refinancing terms may be less favorable than the terms of our original indebtedness;

•in order to service our debt or to meet our covenants, we may be forced to dispose of properties or issue equity, possibly at unfavorable terms;

•we may default on our obligations and the lenders or mortgagees may foreclose on our properties or our interests in the entities that own the properties that secure their loans and receive an assignment of rents and leases;

•we may violate restrictive covenants in our loan documents, which would entitle the lenders to accelerate our debt obligations; and

•our default under any loan with cross default provisions could result in a default on other indebtedness.

The occurrence of any of these events could materially and adversely affect us. Furthermore, foreclosures could create taxable income without accompanying cash proceeds, which could hinder our ability to meet the REIT distribution requirements imposed by the Code.

Increases in interest rates could increase the amount of our debt payments and interest expense.

As of December 31, 2025, we had $2.6 billion of our outstanding consolidated indebtedness that is variable-rate debt, and we may continue to incur variable-rate debt in the future. We have entered into interest rate swaps to convert $0.5 billion of this indebtedness to fixed-rate. As of December 31, 2025, we have entered into $1.1 billion of interest rate caps to protect the majority of remaining variable debt against increases in interest rates.

Increases in interest rates may raise our interest costs under any variable-rate debt that is not effectively converted to fixed-rate debt and increase our overall cost of capital, which could materially and adversely affect us, reduce our cash flows and funds from operations, and reduce our ability to use the capital that is being paid in interest in other ways, including to make distributions to our stockholders. Increases in interest rates would also increase our interest expense on future fixed rate borrowings and have the same collateral effects described above. In addition, if we need to repay existing debt during periods of rising interest rates, we could be required to liquidate one or more of our investments in properties at times which may not permit realization of the maximum return on such investments. Interest rate increases may also increase the risk that the counterparties to our swap contracts will default on their obligations, which could further increase our exposure to interest rate increases. Conversely, if interest rates are lower than our swapped fixed rates, we will be required to pay more to service our debt than if we had not entered into the interest rate swaps.

In addition, historically, during periods of increasing interest rates, real estate valuations have generally decreased as a result of rising capitalization rates, which tend to be positively correlated with interest rates. Consequently, prolonged periods of higher interest rates may negatively impact the valuation of our portfolio and result in the decline of the quoted trading price of our securities and market capitalization, as well as lower sales proceeds from future dispositions.

Market conditions could adversely affect our ability to refinance existing indebtedness or obtain additional financing for growth on acceptable terms or at all, which could materially and adversely affect us.

Credit markets have experienced over the past several years, and may continue to experience, significant price volatility, displacement and liquidity disruptions, including the bankruptcy, insolvency or restructuring of certain financial institutions. Such

circumstances could materially impact liquidity in the financial markets, making financing terms for borrowers less attractive, and potentially result in the unavailability of various types of debt financing. As a result, we may be unable to obtain debt financing on favorable terms or at all or fully refinance maturing indebtedness with new indebtedness. Reductions in our available borrowing capacity or inability to obtain credit when required or when business conditions warrant could materially and adversely affect us.

Our existing indebtedness contains, and any future indebtedness is likely to contain, covenants that restrict our ability to engage in certain activities.

The agreements governing our borrowings contain or are likely to contain financial and other covenants with which we are or will be required to comply and that limit or are likely to limit our ability to operate our business. These covenants, as well as any additional covenants to which we may be subject in the future because of additional borrowings, could cause us to have to forego investment opportunities, reduce or eliminate distributions to our common stockholders or obtain financing that is more expensive than financing we could obtain if we were not subject to the covenants. In addition, the agreements governing our borrowing may have cross default provisions, which provide that a default under one of our debt financing agreements would lead to a default on all of our debt financing agreements.

The covenants and other restrictions under our debt agreements may affect, among other things, our ability to:

•incur indebtedness;

•create liens on assets;

•cause our subsidiaries to distribute cash to us to fund distributions to stockholders or to otherwise use in our business;

•sell or substitute assets;

•modify certain terms of our leases;

•manage our cash flows; and

•make distributions to equity holders, including our common stockholders.

Additionally, these restrictions may adversely affect our operating and financial flexibility and may limit our ability to respond to changes in our business or competitive environment, all of which may materially and adversely affect us.

Secured indebtedness exposes us to the possibility of foreclosure, which could result in the loss of our investment in certain of our subsidiaries or in a property or group of properties or other assets subject to indebtedness and limits our ability to raise future capital.

We have granted certain of our lenders security interests in certain of our assets, including security interests in certain of our real property. Incurring secured indebtedness, including mortgage indebtedness, increases our risk of asset and property losses because defaults on indebtedness secured by our assets, including certain of our real property, may result in foreclosure actions initiated by lenders and ultimately our loss of the property or other assets securing any loans for which we are in default. Any foreclosure on a mortgaged property or group of properties could have a material adverse effect on the overall value of our portfolio of properties and more generally on us. For tax purposes, a foreclosure of any of our properties would be treated as a sale of the property for a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of the indebtedness secured by the mortgage. If the outstanding balance of the indebtedness secured by the mortgage exceeds our tax basis in the property, we would recognize taxable income on foreclosure, but would not receive any cash proceeds, which could materially and adversely affect us, including hindering our ability to meet the REIT distribution requirements imposed by the Code. As a result, our substantial secured indebtedness could have a material adverse effect on us.

Risks Related to Our Organizational Structure

Our Co-Executive Chairmen have substantial influence over our business, and our Co-Executive Chairmen’s interests, and the interests of certain members of our management, differ from our interests and those of our other stockholders in certain respects.

As of December 31, 2025, BG Capital, through its affiliates, including BGLH, beneficially owned approximately 68% of our outstanding shares of common stock, and because of voting and dispositive control, are deemed to beneficially own 100% of

our outstanding Legacy OP Units and OPEUs, resulting in total deemed beneficial ownership of shares of common stock of approximately 71%. Our Co-Executive Chairmen, as managing members of BG Capital, are deemed to beneficially own all of the securities beneficially owned by BG Capital, including the securities beneficially owned by BGLH. As a result, BG Capital and its affiliates, including BGLH, and our Co-Executive Chairmen have significant influence in the election of our directors, who in turn will elect our executive officers, set our management policies and exercise overall supervision and control over us and our subsidiaries. Certain potential transactions will affect Bay Grove, BGLH and/or our Co-Executive Chairmen differently than other stockholders and it is possible that Bay Grove, BGLH and/or our Co-Executive Chairmen will have different interests than those other stockholders with respect to such transactions.

The interests of Bay Grove, BGLH, and our Co-Executive Chairmen, as well as the interests of other investors in BGLH, differ from the interests of our other stockholders in certain respects, and their significant stockholdings and rights described above may limit other stockholders’ ability to influence corporate matters. In this regard, sales or other dispositions of our properties may have adverse tax implications for Bay Grove, its affiliates and/or investors in BGLH. In addition, certain additional members of our management have certain equity interests in BGLH, that cause Bay Grove and BGLH to have interests that differ from our other stockholders. The concentration of ownership and voting power of Bay Grove, BGLH, and our Co-Executive Chairmen may also delay, defer, or even prevent an acquisition by a third party or other change of control of our company and may make some transactions more difficult or impossible without their support, even if such events are in the best interests of our other stockholders. This concentration of voting power may have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. As a result of Bay Grove’s, BGLH’s, and our Co-Executive Chairmen’s influence, we may take actions that our other stockholders do not view as beneficial, which may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition and cause the value of your investment in us to decline.

Investors in BGLH engage in a broad spectrum of activities, including investments in real estate. In the ordinary course of their business activities, investors in BGLH may engage in activities where their interests conflict with our interests or those of our stockholders. Our charter provides that, if any director of our company who is also an officer, employee or agent of BentallGreenOak, D1 Capital, Oxford Properties Group, OMERS Administration Corporation or Stonepeak or any of their respective affiliates acquires knowledge of a potential business opportunity, we renounce any potential interest or expectation in, or right to be offered to participate in, such business opportunity unless it is a retained opportunity (as defined in our charter). Investors in BGLH also may pursue acquisition opportunities that may be complementary to or competitive with our business without our consent and, as a result, those acquisition opportunities may not be available to us.

Our rights and the rights of our stockholders to take action against our directors and officers are limited.

Maryland law provides that a director has no liability in the capacity as a director if he or she performs his or her duties in good faith, in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in our best interests, and with the care that an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances. As permitted by the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”), our charter limits the liability of our directors and officers to us and our stockholders for money damages, except for liability resulting from the following:

•actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services; or

•a final judgment based upon a finding of active and deliberate dishonesty by the director or officer that was material to the cause of action adjudicated.

In addition, our charter requires us to indemnify our directors and officers for actions taken by them in those capacities and to pay or reimburse their reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law, and we have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers. As a result, we and our stockholders may have more limited rights against our directors and officers than might otherwise exist under common law. Accordingly, in the event that any of our directors or officers are exculpated from, or indemnified against, liability but whose actions impede our performance, our stockholders’ ability to recover damages from that director or officer will be limited.

Our charter and bylaws contain provisions that may delay, defer, or prevent an acquisition of our common stock or a change in control.

Our charter and bylaws contain a number of provisions, the exercise or existence of which could delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change in control that might involve a premium price for our stockholders or otherwise be in their best interests, including the following:

•Our Charter Contains Restrictions on the Ownership and Transfer of Our Stock. In order for us to qualify as a REIT, no more than 50% of the value of outstanding shares of our stock may be owned, beneficially or constructively, by five or fewer individuals at any time during the last half of each taxable year other than the first year for which we elect to be taxed as a REIT. Subject to certain exceptions, our charter prohibits any stockholder from owning beneficially or constructively more than 9.8% in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of the outstanding shares of our common stock, or 9.8% in value of the aggregate of the outstanding shares of all classes or series of our stock. We refer to these restrictions collectively as the “ownership limits.” The constructive ownership rules under the Code are complex and may cause the outstanding stock owned by a group of related individuals or entities to be deemed to be constructively owned by one individual or entity. As a result, the acquisition of less than 9.8% of our outstanding shares of common stock or the outstanding shares of all classes or series of our stock by an individual or entity could cause that individual or entity or another individual or entity to own constructively in excess of the relevant ownership limits. Our charter also prohibits any person from owning shares of our stock that could result in our being “closely held” under Section 856(h) of the Code, otherwise cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT or cause us not to qualify as a domestically controlled qualified investment entity until the third anniversary of our IPO or such other date that our board of directors determines that it is no longer in our best interests to attempt to, or continue to, qualify as a domestically controlled qualified investment entity (the “Foreign Ownership Limitation Period”). Any attempt to own or transfer shares of our stock in violation of these restrictions may result in the shares being automatically transferred to a charitable trust or may be void. These ownership limits may prevent a third-party from acquiring control of us if our board of directors does not grant an exemption from the ownership limits, even if our stockholders believe the change in control is in their best interests.

•Our Board of Directors Has the Power to Cause Us to Issue Additional Shares of Our Stock Without Stockholder Approval. Our charter authorizes us to issue additional authorized but unissued shares of common or preferred stock. In addition, our board of directors may, without stockholder approval, amend our charter to increase or decrease the aggregate number of our shares of common stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that we have authority to issue and classify or reclassify any unissued shares of common or preferred stock and set the preferences, rights and other terms of the classified or reclassified shares. As a result, our board of directors may establish a class or series of shares of common or preferred stock that could delay or prevent a transaction or a change in control that might involve payment of a premium price for our shares of common stock or that stockholders may otherwise consider to be in their best interests.

Certain provisions of Maryland law may limit the ability of a third-party to acquire control of us.

Certain provisions of the MGCL may have the effect of inhibiting a third-party from acquiring us or of impeding a change of control under circumstances that otherwise could provide our common stockholders with the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market price of such shares, including:

•“business combination” provisions that, subject to limitations, prohibit certain business combinations between an “interested stockholder” (defined generally as any person who beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the voting power of our outstanding shares of voting stock or an affiliate or associate of the corporation who, at any time within the two-year period immediately prior to the date in question, was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of the then outstanding stock of the corporation) or an affiliate of any interested stockholder and us for five years after the most recent date on which the stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, and thereafter imposes two super-majority stockholder voting requirements on these combinations; and

•“control share” provisions that provide that holders of “control shares” of our company (defined as voting shares of stock that, if aggregated with all other shares of stock owned or controlled by the acquirer, would entitle the acquirer to exercise one of three increasing ranges of voting power in electing directors) acquired in a “control share acquisition” (defined as the direct or indirect acquisition of issued and outstanding “control shares”) have no voting

rights except to the extent approved by our stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of all of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, excluding all interested shares.

Pursuant to the Maryland Business Combination Act, our board of directors has by resolution exempted from the provisions of the Maryland Business Combination Act business combinations between us and any other person, provided that the business combination is first approved by our board of directors (including a majority of our directors who are not affiliates or associates of such person). Our bylaws contain a provision exempting from the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act any and all acquisitions by any person of shares of our stock. There can be no assurance that these exemptions or resolutions will not be amended or eliminated at any time in the future.

Additionally, Title 3, Subtitle 8 of the MGCL permits our board of directors, without stockholder approval and regardless of what is currently provided in our charter or bylaws, to implement certain corporate governance provisions, some of which we do not have. In accordance with the MGCL, our charter provides that, without the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the matter by our stockholders entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, we may not elect to be subject to the provision of Subtitle 8 that permits our board of directors to classify itself.

Termination of the employment of certain members of our senior management team could be costly and prevent a change in control of our company.

The employment, severance and equity award arrangements with certain members of our senior management team provide that if their employment with us terminates under certain circumstances (including in connection with a change in control of our company), we may be required to provide them significant amounts of severance compensation and benefits, thereby making it costly to terminate their employment. Furthermore, these provisions could delay or prevent a transaction or a change in control of our company that might involve a premium paid for shares of our common stock or otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders.

Our board of directors may change our investment and financing policies without stockholder approval, and we may become more highly leveraged, which may increase our risk of default under our debt obligations.

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 six times, which we expect to occur in 2026. Our strategic plans to reduce such ratio to less than six times our Adjusted EBITDA over the next two years may not be successful.

Our board of directors may alter or eliminate our current policy on borrowing at any time without stockholder approval. If this policy changed, we could become more highly leveraged, which could result in an increase in our debt service. Higher leverage also increases the risk of default on our obligations. In addition, a change in our investment policies, including the manner in which we allocate our resources across our portfolio or the types of assets in which we seek to invest, may increase our exposure to interest rate risk, real estate market fluctuations and liquidity risk. Changes to our policies with regards to the foregoing could materially and adversely affect us. We plan to notify stockholders of any material change to our investment and financing policies by disclosing such changes in documents furnished to the SEC, posted on our website or filed with the SEC, such as a current report on Form 8-K and/or a periodic report on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K, as appropriate, to the extent required by applicable laws, rules and regulations.

We are a holding company with no direct operations and rely on funds received from our operating partnership to pay liabilities and distributions to our stockholders.

We are a holding company and conduct substantially all of our operations through our operating partnership. We do not have, apart from an interest in our operating partnership, any independent operations. As a result, we rely on distributions from our operating partnership to pay any distributions we might declare on shares of our common stock. We also rely on distributions from our operating partnership to meet any of our obligations, including any tax liability on taxable income allocated to us from our operating partnership. In addition, because we are a holding company, your claims as stockholders are structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities and obligations (whether or not for borrowed money) of our operating partnership and its subsidiaries. Therefore, in the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization, our assets and those of our operating

partnership and its subsidiaries will be able to satisfy the claims of our stockholders only after all of our and our operating partnership’s and its subsidiaries’ liabilities and obligations have been paid in full.

In connection with our future acquisition of properties or otherwise, we may issue units of our operating partnership to third parties. Such issuances would reduce our ownership in our operating partnership. Because you will not directly own units of our operating partnership, you will not have any voting rights with respect to any such issuances or other partnership level activities of our operating partnership.

Conflicts of interest exist or could arise in the future with our operating partnership or its partners.

Conflicts of interest exist or could arise in the future as a result of the relationships between us and our affiliates, on the one hand, and our operating partnership or any partner thereof, on the other. Our directors and officers have duties to our company under applicable Maryland law in connection with their direction of the management of our company. At the same time, we, as general partner of our operating partnership, have duties to our operating partnership and to the limited partners under Maryland law in connection with the management of our operating partnership. Under Maryland law, the general partner of a Maryland limited partnership has fiduciary duties of care and loyalty, and an obligation of good faith, to the partnership and its partners. While these duties and obligations cannot be eliminated entirely in the partnership agreement, Maryland law permits the parties to a partnership agreement to specify certain types or categories of activities that do not violate the general partner’s duty of loyalty and to modify the duty of care and obligation of good faith, so long as such modifications are not unreasonable. These duties as general partner of our operating partnership to the partnership and its partners may come into conflict with the interests of our company. Under the partnership agreement of our operating partnership, the limited partners of our operating partnership expressly agree that the general partner of our operating partnership is acting for the benefit of the operating partnership, the limited partners of our operating partnership and our stockholders, collectively. The general partner is under no obligation to give priority to the separate interests of the limited partners in deciding whether to cause our operating partnership to take or decline to take any actions. If there is a conflict between the interests of us or our stockholders, on the one hand, and the interests of the limited partners of our operating partnership, on the other, the partnership agreement of our operating partnership provides that any action or failure to act by the general partner that gives priority to the separate interests of us or our stockholders that does not result in a violation of the contractual rights of the limited partners of our operating partnership under the partnership agreement will not violate the duties that the general partner owes to our operating partnership and its partners.

Additionally, the partnership agreement of our operating partnership expressly limits our liability by providing that we and our directors, officers, agents and employees are not liable or accountable to our operating partnership or its partners for money damages. In addition, our operating partnership is required to indemnify us, as general partner, our directors, officers and employees, employees of our operating partnership and any other persons whom we, as general partner, may designate from and against any and all claims arising from operations of our operating partnership in which any indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise unless it is established by a final judgment that the act or omission of the indemnitee constituted fraud, intentional harm or gross negligence on the part of the indemnitee, the claim is brought by the indemnitee (other than to enforce the indemnitee’s rights to indemnification or advance of expenses) or the indemnitee is found to be liable to our operating partnership, and then only with respect to each such claim.

No reported decision of a Maryland appellate court has interpreted provisions that are similar to the provisions of the partnership agreement of our operating partnership that modify the fiduciary duties of the general partner of our operating partnership, and we have not obtained an opinion of counsel regarding the enforceability of the provisions of the partnership agreement that purport to waive or modify the fiduciary duties and obligations of the general partner of our operating partnership.

In addition, the stockholders agreement provides that we, on our own behalf and in our capacity as general partner of the operating partnership, must use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) structure certain significant exit transactions (including mergers, consolidations and sales of substantially all of our assets or the assets of our operating partnership and its subsidiaries) in a manner that is tax-deferred to Messrs. Marchetti and Forste, their respective estate planning vehicles, family members and controlled affiliates, does not cause such parties to recognize gain for federal income tax purposes, and provides for substantially similar tax protections after such transactions, and (ii) cause our operating partnership or its subsidiaries to continuously maintain sufficient levels of indebtedness that are allocable for federal income tax purposes to Messrs. Marchetti and Forste and their respective personal holding entities to prevent them from recognizing gain as a result of any negative tax capital account or insufficient debt allocation, provided that such amount of debt shall not be required to exceed the amount allocable to the parties immediately following our IPO, subject to certain exceptions. In connection with the obligation to maintain sufficient liability allocations, if we or our operating partnership believes insufficient liabilities may be allocated to Messrs. Marchetti and Forste

and their respective personal holding entities, we shall, and shall cause our subsidiaries to, provide Messrs. Marchetti and Forste, their respective estate planning vehicles, family members and controlled affiliates with an opportunity to guarantee indebtedness. These rights granted to Messrs. Marchetti and Forste, their respective estate planning vehicles, family members and controlled affiliates will last with respect to each as long as such person (or his estate planning vehicles, family members and controlled affiliates) has not disposed of more than 60% of his interest in us or obtained a fair market value adjusted tax basis as a result of the death of Messrs. Marchetti or Forste, respectively. These requirements could limit our ability to allocate debt to other members of our operating partnership or structure certain transactions in a way that may otherwise be favorable to us and/or our stockholders.

Our bylaws designate any state court of competent jurisdiction in Maryland and the United States District Court located in Maryland, as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our stockholders and provide that claims related to causes of action under the Securities Act may only be brought in federal district courts, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that the stockholders believe is a more favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees.

Our bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, any state court of competent jurisdiction in Maryland, or, if such state courts do not have jurisdiction, the United States District Court located within the State of Maryland will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (b) any Internal Corporate Claim, as such term is defined in the MGCL, including, without limitation, (i) any action asserting a claim based on an alleged breach of any duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees to us or to our stockholders or (ii) any action asserting a claim against us or any of our directors, officers or other employees arising pursuant to any provision of the MGCL or our charter or bylaws, or (c) any other action asserting a claim that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine. These choice of forum provisions will not apply to suits brought to enforce a duty or liability created by the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other claim for which federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction. Furthermore, our bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any claim arising under the Securities Act. This provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that the stockholder believes is more favorable for disputes against us or our directors, officers or employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and other employees.

Risks Related to Ownership of Shares of Our Common Stock

The market price and trading volume of shares of our common stock may be volatile.

The market price of shares of our common stock may fluctuate. In addition, the trading volume in shares of our common stock may fluctuate and cause significant price variations to occur. If the market price of shares of our common stock declines significantly, our common stockholders may experience a decrease in the value of their shares. We cannot assure you that the market price of shares of our common stock will not fluctuate or decline significantly in the future.

Some of the factors that could negatively affect our share price or result in fluctuations in the market price or trading volume of shares of our common stock include:

•actual or anticipated declines in our quarterly operating results or distributions;

•changes in government regulations;

•changes in laws affecting REITs and related tax matters;

•the announcement of new contracts by us or our competitors;

•reductions in our FFO, Core FFO, Adjusted FFO or earnings estimates;

•publication of research reports about us or the real estate industry;

•increases in market interest rates that lead purchasers of shares of our common stock to demand a higher yield;

•future equity issuances, or the perception that they may occur, including issuances of common stock upon exercise or vesting of equity awards or redemption of OP units;

•changes in market valuations of similar companies;

•adverse market reaction to any increased indebtedness we incur in the future;

•additions or departures of key management personnel;

•actions by institutional stockholders;

•differences between our actual financial and operating results and those expected by investors and analysts;

•changes in analysts’ recommendations or projections;

•speculation in the press or investment community; and

•the realization of any of the other risk factors presented herein.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to make or maintain cash distributions, and certain agreements related to our indebtedness may, under certain circumstances, limit or eliminate our ability to make distributions to our common stockholders.

We intend to make cash distributions to our stockholders in amounts such that all or substantially all of our taxable income in each year, subject to adjustments, is distributed. Our ability to continue to make distributions in the future may be adversely affected by the risk factors described herein. There can be no assurance that we will be able to make or maintain distributions and certain agreements related to our indebtedness may, under certain circumstances, limit or eliminate our ability to make distributions to our common stockholders. There can be no assurance that rents from our properties will increase, or that future acquisitions of real properties or other investments will increase our cash available for distributions to stockholders. In addition, any distributions will be authorized at the sole discretion of our board of directors, and their form, timing and amount, if any, will depend upon a number of factors, including our actual and projected results of operations, FFO, Core FFO Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, Adjusted EBITDA, liquidity, cash flows and financial condition, the revenue we actually receive from our properties, our operating expenses, our debt service requirements, our capital expenditures, prohibitions and other limitations under our financing arrangements, our REIT taxable income, the annual REIT distribution requirements, applicable law and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant.

If we do not have sufficient cash available for distributions, we may need to fund the shortage out of working capital or borrow to provide funds for such distributions, which would reduce the amount of proceeds available for real estate investments and increase our future interest costs. Our inability to make distributions, or to make distributions at expected levels, could result in a decrease in the market price of our common stock.

Increases in market interest rates may result in a decrease in the value of shares of our common stock.

One of the factors that influences the price of shares of our common stock is the distribution yield on shares of our common stock (as a percentage of the price of shares of our common stock) relative to market interest rates. An increase in market interest rates may lead prospective purchasers of shares of our common stock to expect a higher distribution yield, and higher interest rates would likely increase our borrowing costs and potentially decrease funds available for distribution. Thus, higher market interest rates could cause the market price of our common stock to decrease.

Broad market fluctuations could negatively impact the market price of shares of our common stock.

The stock market may experience extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market price of many companies in industries similar or related to ours and that have been unrelated to these companies’ operating performances. The changes frequently appear to occur without regard to the operating performance or prospects of the affected companies. Hence, the price of our common stock could fluctuate based upon factors that have little or nothing to do with us in particular. These broad market fluctuations could reduce the market price of shares of our common stock. Furthermore, our operating results and prospects may be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors or may be lower than those of companies with comparable market capitalizations. Either of these factors could lead to a material decline in the market price of our common stock.

Future offerings of debt, which would be senior to shares of our common stock upon liquidation, and/or preferred equity securities that may be senior to shares of our common stock for purposes of distributions or upon liquidation, may materially and adversely affect the market price of shares of our common stock.

In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by making additional offerings of debt or preferred equity securities (or causing our operating partnership, or one or more other subsidiaries, to issue debt securities or guarantees of debt securities). Upon liquidation, holders of our debt securities and preferred stock and lenders with respect to other borrowings will receive distributions of our available assets prior to our common stockholders. Additionally, any convertible or exchangeable securities that we issue in the future may have rights, preferences and privileges more favorable than those of our common stock and may result in dilution to owners of our common stock. Our stockholders are not entitled to preemptive rights or other protections against dilution. Our preferred stock, if issued, could have a preference on liquidating distributions or a preference on distribution payments that could limit our right to make distributions to our stockholders. Because our decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings. Our stockholders bear the risk of our future offerings reducing the market price of our common stock.

Future contractual repurchase obligations may materially and adversely affect the market price of shares of our common stock and may reduce future distributions.

We have issued rollover equity to various sellers of assets acquired by us as part of the purchase price consideration for those assets. This rollover equity has generally taken the form of units in BGLH or units in Lineage OP, although in certain circumstances we have issued such rollover equity at our subsidiaries. Some of these sellers who received rollover equity were provided with separate classes of equity that included special one-time redemption features such as minimum value guarantees and in some cases the alternative option to elect cash or equity top-up rights to achieve a certain minimum equity valuation at a specified date (collectively, the “Guarantee Rights”). The ultimate obligations in respect of the Guarantee Rights became obligations of Lineage Holdings in connection with our IPO in order to ensure that the financial obligations associated with the Guarantee Rights impact investors in Lineage, our operating partnership and Lineage Holdings proportionately at the time they arise. Any trigger of the Guarantee Rights at BGLH or our operating partnership will result in successive redemptions or successive top-up cash payments or equity issuances between Lineage, our operating partnership and Lineage Holdings to effect this result, which may reduce our liquidity or dilute the ownership interest of our common stockholders. Such amounts could be material and could materially and adversely affect the market price of shares of our common stock and reduce future distributions to our stockholders.

In addition, pursuant to the coordinated settlement process that will occur for up to three years following our IPO, all of the shares of our common stock outstanding immediately prior to our IPO will transition from the control of BGLH, and all of the Legacy OP Units will transition from the control of BGLH’s subsidiary, the LHR, through (i) the settlement by our legacy investors of their BGLH equity or Legacy OP Units for cash (the “Cash Settlements”) in amounts that are expected to be material in connection with liquidity that we will have arranged, which settlement for cash will generally be effected pursuant to a sale of shares of our common stock back to us or a sale of OP units to us, and (ii) the settlement by our legacy investors of all remaining amounts of their BGLH equity for shares of our common stock or their Legacy OP Units for OP Units (the “Securities Settlements”), resulting in the transfer of control of all such securities to the underlying legacy investors who will then determine the timing of their future disposition of such securities. Such transactions may reduce our liquidity and materially and adversely affect the market price of shares of our common stock and reduce funds available for distribution to our stockholders.

Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public markets, or the perception that they might occur, could reduce the price of our common stock and may dilute your voting power and your ownership interest in us.

Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock and may make it more difficult for you to sell your common stock at a time and price that you deem appropriate.

The shares of our common stock that were sold in our IPO may be resold in the public market without restrictions or further registration under the Securities Act unless they are held by “affiliates,” as that term is defined in Rule 144 of the Securities Act. The common stock, OP units, Legacy OP Units and OPEUs that were issued in the formation transactions in connection with our IPO are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act and may not be sold in the absence of registration under the Securities Act unless an exemption from registration is available, including the exemptions contained in Rule 144. Pursuant to the coordinated settlement process that will occur for up to three years following our IPO, all of the shares

of our common stock outstanding immediately prior to our IPO will transition from the control of BGLH and all of the Legacy OP Units will transition from the control of BGLH’s subsidiary, the LHR, through (i) Cash Settlements of such equity in amounts that are expected to be material and (ii) Securities Settlements for all remaining amounts of such equity, resulting in the transfer of control of all such securities to the underlying legacy investors who will then determine the timing of their future disposition of such securities. Legacy investors that receive Securities Settlements will have registration rights with respect to shares of our common stock, including common stock that may be issued in exchange for OP units (including OP units that may be issued upon reclassification of Legacy OP Units or exchange of OPEUs). As a result of these registration rights agreements, however, all of these shares of our common stock, including common stock that may be issued in exchange for OP units (including OP units that may be issued upon reclassification of Legacy OP Units or exchange of OPEUs), may be eligible for future sale without restriction. Sales of a substantial number of such shares, or the perception that such sales may occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to fall or make it more difficult for you to sell your common stock at a time and price that you deem appropriate.

In addition, our charter provides that we may issue up to 500,000,000 shares of common stock and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share. Moreover, under Maryland law and as provided in our charter, a majority of our entire board of directors has the power to amend our charter to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that we are authorized to issue without stockholder approval. Future issuances of shares of our common stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into common stock may dilute the ownership interest of our common stockholders. Because our decision to issue additional equity or convertible or exchangeable securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future issuances. In addition, we are not required to offer any such securities to existing stockholders on a preemptive basis. Therefore, it may not be possible for existing stockholders to participate in such future issuances, which may dilute the existing stockholders’ interests in us.

Risks Related to Our REIT Status and Other Tax Risks

Failure to qualify as a REIT would cause us to be taxed as a regular C corporation, which would substantially reduce funds available for distributions to stockholders.

We elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2020. We believe that our organization and method of operation has enabled and will continue to enable us to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, we cannot assure you that we will qualify as such. This is because qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Code as to which there are only limited judicial and administrative interpretations and involves the determination of facts and circumstances not entirely within our control. The complexity of these provisions and of the applicable regulations (as in effect from time to time) of the United States Department of the Treasury under the Code is greater in the case of a REIT, like us, that holds assets through a partnership. Future legislation, new regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions may significantly change the tax laws or the application of the tax laws with respect to qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes or the federal income tax consequences of such qualification.

In order to qualify as a REIT, we must satisfy a number of requirements, including requirements regarding the ownership of our stock and the composition of our gross income and assets. Also, a REIT must make distributions to stockholders aggregating annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gains. Furthermore, we own a direct or indirect interest in certain subsidiaries that have elected to be taxed as REITs for U.S. federal income tax purposes under the Code (collectively, “Subsidiary REITs”). Provided that each Subsidiary REIT qualifies as a REIT, our interest in such Subsidiary REIT will be treated as a qualifying real estate asset for purposes of the REIT asset tests. To qualify as a REIT, the Subsidiary REIT must independently satisfy all of the REIT qualification requirements. The failure of a Subsidiary REIT to qualify as a REIT could have an adverse effect on our ability to comply with the REIT income and asset tests, and thus our ability to qualify as a REIT.

If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, and are unable to obtain relief under certain statutory provisions, we will face material tax consequences that will substantially reduce the funds available for distributions to our stockholders because:

•we would be subject to regular United States federal corporate income tax on our net income for the years we did not qualify for taxation as a REIT (and, for such years, would not be allowed a deduction for dividends paid to stockholders in computing our taxable income);

•we could be subject to a federal alternative minimum tax and possibly increased state and local taxes for such periods;

•unless we are entitled to relief under applicable statutory provisions, neither we nor any “successor” company could elect to be taxed as a REIT until the fifth taxable year following the year during which we were disqualified; and

•for five years following re-election of REIT status, upon a taxable disposition of an asset owned as of such re-election, we could be subject to tax with respect to any built-in gain inherent in such asset at the time of re-election.

As a result of all these factors, our failure to qualify as a REIT could impair our ability to expand our business and raise capital, and it could adversely affect the value of our common stock. If we fail to qualify as a REIT, we would no longer be required to make distributions to our stockholders.

Even if we qualify as a REIT, we may face other tax liabilities that reduce our cash available for distribution to our stockholders.

Even if we have qualified and continue to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we may be subject to certain U.S. federal, state and local taxes on our income and assets, including taxes on any undistributed income, tax on income from some activities conducted as a result of a foreclosure, and state or local income, property and transfer taxes. In addition, we conduct a significant portion of our U.S. business through TRSs that are regular taxable corporations. Furthermore, our status as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally does not reduce non-U.S. taxes on our operations and assets outside of the United States. Moreover, to the extent that we incur non-U.S. taxes outside of a domestic TRS, we have limited ability to utilize credits against our U.S. federal income tax liabilities for foreign taxes paid or accrued. Any of these taxes would decrease cash available for distributions to stockholders.

If our operating partnership or any other subsidiary partnership or limited liability company fails to qualify as a partnership or disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we could fail to qualify as a REIT and would suffer adverse consequences.

We believe that our operating partnership is organized and is operated in a manner so as to be treated as a partnership, and not an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, our operating partnership will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its income. Instead, each of its partners, including us, will be allocated that partner’s share of our operating partnership’s income. No assurance can be provided, however, that the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, will not challenge the status of our operating partnership or any other subsidiary partnership or limited liability company in which we own an interest as a partnership or disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or that a court would not sustain such a challenge. If the IRS were successful in treating our operating partnership or any such other subsidiary partnership or limited liability company as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we could fail to meet the gross income tests and certain of the asset tests applicable to REITs and, accordingly, could cease to qualify as a REIT. Also, the failure of our operating partnership or of any such other subsidiary partnership or limited liability company to qualify as a partnership or disregarded entity would cause it to become subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax, which would reduce significantly the amount of its cash available for debt service and for distribution to its partners or members, including us.

Our operating partnership has a carryover tax basis on certain of its assets as a result of certain transactions, and the amount that we have to distribute to stockholders therefore may be higher.

Certain of our operating partnership’s assets were acquired in tax-deferred transactions and have carryover tax bases that are lower than the fair market values of these assets at the time of the acquisition. As a result of this lower aggregate tax basis, our operating partnership will recognize higher taxable gain upon the sale of these assets and our operating partnership will be entitled to lower depreciation deductions on these assets than if it had purchased these assets in taxable transactions at the time of the acquisition. Such lower depreciation deductions and increased gains on sales allocated to us generally will increase the amount of our required distribution under the REIT rules, and will decrease the portion of any distribution that otherwise would have been treated as a “return of capital” distribution.

Our property taxes could increase due to property tax rate changes or reassessment, which could impact our cash flow.

Even if we qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we are required to pay state and local property taxes on certain of our assets. The property taxes on our assets may increase as property tax rates change or as our assets are assessed or reassessed by taxing authorities. Therefore, the amount of property taxes we pay in the future may increase substantially from

what we have paid in the past. If the property taxes we pay increase, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, per share trading price of our common stock, and ability to satisfy our principal and interest obligations and to make distributions to our stockholders could be adversely affected.

We use TRSs, which may cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT.

To qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we hold, and plan to continue to hold, substantially all of our non-qualifying REIT assets and conduct certain of our non-qualifying REIT income activities in or through one or more TRS entities. A TRS is a corporation other than a REIT in which a REIT directly or indirectly holds stock, and that has made a joint election with such REIT to be treated as a TRS. A TRS also includes any corporation other than a REIT with respect to which a TRS owns securities possessing more than 35% of the total voting power or value of the outstanding securities of such corporation. Other than some activities related to lodging and health care facilities, a TRS may generally engage in any business, including the provision of customary or non-customary services to tenants of its parent REIT. A TRS is subject to U.S. federal income tax as a regular C corporation at a current rate of 21%.

The net income of our TRS entities is not required to be distributed to us, and income that is not distributed to us will generally not be subject to the REIT income distribution requirement. However, our TRS entities may pay dividends. Such dividend income should qualify under the 95%, but not the 75%, gross income test. We will monitor the amount of the dividend and other income from our TRS entities and will take actions intended to keep this income, and any other non-qualifying income, within the limitations of the REIT income tests. While we expect these actions will prevent a violation of the REIT income tests, we cannot guarantee that such actions will in all cases prevent such a violation.

Our ownership of TRS entities is subject to limitations that could prevent us from growing the portion of our business that does not qualify for operating through a REIT, and our transactions with our TRS entities could cause us to be subject to a 100% penalty tax on certain income or deductions if those transactions are not conducted on an arm’s-length basis.

No more than 20% (25% for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025) of the value of a REIT’s gross assets may consist of interests in TRS entities. We hold a portion of our business that could adversely impact our status as a REIT, if conducted directly by the REIT, through one or more TRS entities. In addition, we may acquire companies and properties through our TRS entities until such companies or properties can be restructured to operate in a REIT compliant manner. Compliance with the TRS ownership limitation could limit our ability to grow the portion of our business that does not qualify for operating through a REIT. The Code also imposes a 100% excise tax on certain transactions between a TRS and its parent REIT that are not conducted on an arm’s-length basis. Our board of directors may determine in good faith the valuation of our gross assets, including the value of securities in our TRS entities, on a quarterly basis. We will monitor the value of investments in our TRS entities in order to comply with TRS ownership limitations and will structure our transactions with our TRS entities on terms that we believe are arm’s-length to avoid incurring the 100% excise tax described above. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to comply with the TRS ownership limitation or be able to avoid application of the 100% excise tax.

REIT distribution requirements could adversely affect our ability to execute our business plans, including because we may be required to borrow funds to make distributions to stockholders or otherwise depend on external sources of capital to fund such distributions.

We generally must distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (which is determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gain for this purpose) in order to continue to qualify as a REIT. To the extent that we satisfy the distribution requirement but distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and including any net capital gains), we will be subject to federal corporate income tax on our undistributed taxable income. In addition, we may elect to retain and pay income tax on our net long-term capital gain. In that case, if we so elect, a stockholder would be taxed on its proportionate share of our undistributed long-term gain and would receive a credit or refund for its proportionate share of the tax we paid. A stockholder, including a tax-exempt or non-U.S. stockholder, would have to file a U.S. federal income tax return to claim that credit or refund. Furthermore, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax if the actual amount that we distribute to our stockholders in a calendar year is less than a minimum amount specified under federal tax laws.

We intend to make distributions to our stockholders to comply with the REIT requirements of the Code and to avoid corporate income tax and the 4% excise tax. We may be required to make distributions to our stockholders at times when it would be more advantageous to reinvest cash in our business or when we do not have funds readily available for distribution. Thus, compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our ability to operate solely on the basis of maximizing profits.

If we do not have other funds available, we could be required to borrow funds on unfavorable terms, sell investments at disadvantageous prices, distribute amounts that would otherwise be invested in future acquisitions or capital expenditures or used for the repayment of debt, pay dividends in the form of taxable stock dividends or find another alternative source of funds to make distributions sufficient to enable us to distribute enough of our taxable income to satisfy the REIT distribution requirement and to avoid corporate income tax and the 4% excise tax in a particular year. These alternatives could increase our costs or adversely affect the value of our common stock.

Complying with REIT requirements may cause us to forgo otherwise attractive opportunities or liquidate otherwise attractive investments.

To continue to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we must continually satisfy tests concerning, among other things, the sources of our income, the nature and diversification of our assets, the amounts we distribute to stockholders and the ownership of our stock. As discussed above, we may be required to make distributions to you at disadvantageous times or when we do not have funds readily available for distribution. Additionally, we may be unable to pursue investments that would be otherwise attractive to us in order to satisfy the requirements for qualifying as a REIT.

At the end of each calendar quarter, at least 75% of the value of our assets must consist of cash, cash items, U.S. government securities and qualified real estate assets, including certain mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities. The remainder of our investment in securities (other than U.S. government securities and qualified real estate assets) generally cannot include more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer or more than 10% of the total value of the outstanding securities of any one issuer. In addition, in general, no more than 5% of the value of our assets can consist of the securities of any one issuer (other than U.S. government securities and qualified real estate assets) and no more than 20% (25% for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025) of the value of our gross assets may be represented by securities of one or more TRS entities. Finally, no more than 25% of our assets may consist of debt investments that are issued by “publicly offered REITs” and would not otherwise be treated as qualifying real estate assets. If we fail to comply with these requirements at the end of any calendar quarter, we must correct such failure within 30 days after the end of the calendar quarter to avoid losing our REIT status and being subject to adverse tax consequences, unless certain relief provisions apply. As a result, compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our ability to operate solely on the basis of profit maximization and may require us to liquidate investments from our portfolio, or refrain from making otherwise attractive investments. These actions could have the effect of reducing our income and amounts available for distribution to stockholders.

The prohibited transactions tax may limit our ability to engage in transactions, including disposition of assets, which would be treated as sales for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

A REIT’s net income from prohibited transactions is subject to a 100% tax. In general, prohibited transactions are sales or other dispositions of dealer property (i.e., property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of our trade or business), other than foreclosure property. We may be subject to the prohibited transaction tax upon a disposition of real property. Although a safe-harbor exception to prohibited transaction treatment is available, we cannot assure you that we can comply with such safe harbor or that we will avoid owning property that may be characterized as dealer property. Consequently, we may choose not to engage in certain sales of real property or may conduct such sales through a TRS.

It may be possible to reduce the impact of the prohibited transaction tax by conducting certain activities through a TRS. However, to the extent that we engage in such activities through a TRS, the income associated with such activities will be subject to a corporate income tax. In addition, the IRS may attempt to ignore or otherwise recast such activities in order to impose a prohibited transaction tax on us, and there can be no assurance that such recast will not be successful.

We may recognize substantial amounts of REIT taxable income, which we would be required to distribute to our stockholders, in a year in which we are not profitable under GAAP or other economic measures.

We may recognize substantial amounts of REIT taxable income in years in which we are not profitable under GAAP or other economic measures as a result of the differences between GAAP and tax accounting methods. For instance, certain of our assets may be marked-to-market for GAAP purposes but not for tax purposes, which could result in losses for GAAP purposes that are not recognized in computing our REIT taxable income. Additionally, we may deduct our capital losses only to the extent of our capital gains in computing our REIT taxable income for a given taxable year. Consequently, we could recognize substantial amounts of REIT taxable income and would be required to distribute such income to you in a year in which we are not profitable under GAAP or other economic measures.

Our qualification as a REIT could be jeopardized as a result of an interest in joint ventures.

We may hold certain limited partner or non-managing member interests in partnerships or limited liability companies that are joint ventures. If a partnership or limited liability company in which we own an interest takes or expects to take actions that could jeopardize our qualification as a REIT or require us to pay tax, we may be forced to dispose of our interest in such entity. In addition, it is possible that a partnership or limited liability company could take an action which could cause us to fail a REIT gross income or asset test, and that we would not become aware of such action in time to dispose of our interest in the partnership or limited liability company or take other corrective action on a timely basis. In that case, we could fail to continue to qualify as a REIT unless we are able to qualify for a statutory REIT “savings” provision, which may require us to pay a significant penalty tax to maintain our REIT qualification.

Dividends payable by REITs may be taxed at higher rates.

Dividends payable by REITs may be taxed at higher rates than dividends of non-REIT corporations. The maximum U.S. federal income tax rate for qualified dividends paid by domestic non-REIT corporations to U.S. stockholders that are individuals, trusts or estates is generally 20%. Dividends paid by REITs to such stockholders are generally not eligible for that rate, but under current tax law, such stockholders may deduct up to 20% of ordinary dividends (i.e., dividends not designated as capital gain dividends or qualified dividend income) received from a REIT. Although this deduction reduces the effective tax rate applicable to certain dividends paid by REITs, such tax rate may still be higher than the tax rate applicable to regular corporate qualified dividends. This may cause investors to view REIT investments as less attractive than investments in non-REIT corporations, which in turn may adversely affect the value of stock of REITs, including our stock. In addition, the relative attractiveness of real estate in general may be adversely affected by the favorable tax treatment given to corporate dividends, which could negatively affect the value of certain of our assets.

In the event we acquire assets of C corporations (including by merger) in carry-over basis transactions, we may inherit material tax liabilities and other tax attributes from such acquired corporations, and we may be required to distribute earnings and profits.

From time to time, we may acquire assets from C corporations in transactions in which the basis of the corporations’ assets in our hands is determined by reference to the basis of the assets in the hands of the acquired corporations (including in connection with post-acquisition integration transactions), or carry-over basis transactions.

If Lineage, Inc. or one of our Subsidiary REITs acquires any asset from a corporation that is or has been a C corporation in a carry-over basis transaction and Lineage, Inc. or its applicable Subsidiary REIT subsequently recognizes gain on the disposition of the asset during the five-year period beginning on the date on which Lineage, Inc. or its applicable Subsidiary REIT acquired the asset, then Lineage, Inc. or its applicable Subsidiary REIT will be required to pay tax at the regular corporate tax rate on this gain to the extent of the excess of the fair market value of the asset over Lineage, Inc.’s or its applicable Subsidiary REIT’s adjusted basis in the asset, in each case determined as of the date on which Lineage, Inc. or its applicable Subsidiary REIT acquired the asset (the so-called “sting tax”). The results described in this paragraph with respect to the recognition of gain assume that the C corporation will refrain from making an election to receive different treatment under applicable Treasury regulations promulgated under the Code (the “Treasury Regulations”) on its tax return for the year in which Lineage, Inc. or its applicable Subsidiary REIT acquires the asset from the C corporation.

Any such sting taxes Lineage, Inc. or its applicable Subsidiary REIT pays would reduce the amount available for distribution to our stockholders. The imposition of such tax may require Lineage, Inc. or its applicable Subsidiary REIT to forgo an otherwise attractive disposition of any assets acquired from a C corporation in a carry-over basis transaction and, as a result, may reduce the liquidity of our portfolio of investments. In addition, in such a carry-over basis transaction, Lineage, Inc. or its applicable Subsidiary REIT will succeed to any tax liabilities and earnings and profits of the acquired C corporation. To qualify as a REIT, Lineage, Inc. or its applicable Subsidiary REIT must distribute any non-REIT earnings and profits by the close of the taxable year in which such transaction occurs. Any adjustments to the acquired corporation’s income for taxable years ending on or before the date of the transaction, including as a result of an examination of the corporation’s tax returns by the IRS, could affect the calculation of the corporation’s earnings and profits.

If the IRS were to determine that Lineage, Inc. or its applicable Subsidiary REIT acquired non-REIT earnings and profits from a corporation that Lineage, Inc. or its applicable Subsidiary REIT failed to distribute prior to the end of the taxable year in which the carry-over basis transaction occurred, Lineage, Inc. or its applicable Subsidiary REIT could avoid disqualification as a REIT by paying a “deficiency dividend.” Under these procedures, Lineage, Inc. or its applicable Subsidiary REIT generally would

be required to (i) pay a statutory interest charge at a specified rate to the IRS on 50% of any such non-REIT earnings and profits and (ii) distribute any such non-REIT earnings and profits (less any interest charge paid to the IRS) to its stockholders within 90 days of the determination. Such a distribution would be in addition to the distribution of REIT taxable income necessary to satisfy the REIT distribution requirement and may require that we borrow funds to make the distribution even if the then-prevailing market conditions are not favorable for borrowings. In addition, payment of the statutory interest charge could materially and adversely affect us.

Legislative or regulatory tax changes could adversely affect us or our stockholders, and challenges to our tax positions could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial position.

At any time, the U.S. federal income tax laws or regulations governing REITs or the administrative interpretations of those laws or regulations may be amended. We cannot predict when or if any new or amended law or interpretation may be issued or become effective and any such law, regulation or interpretation may take effect retroactively. Any such change could result in an increase in our, or our stockholders’, tax liability or require changes in the manner in which we operate in order to minimize increases in our tax liability. We are also subject to tax laws and regulations of state, local, and foreign governments. Changes in tax legislation, interpretations, or enforcement practices, including those related to global minimum tax regimes, could increase our effective tax rate, result in additional tax liabilities, or impact our profitability. In addition, challenges arising from taxing authorities, including the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), state, local, and foreign jurisdictions, on the interpretation of tax laws and regulations could result in adjustments to our effective tax rate or otherwise have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity

Risk Management and Strategy

We have developed and implemented a cybersecurity risk management program intended to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our critical systems and information.

We design and assess our program based on industry frameworks such as National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”) cybersecurity and ISO 27001/2. This does not imply that we meet any particular technical standards, specification, or requirements, only that we use these frameworks as a guide to help us identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity risks relevant to our business.

Our cybersecurity risk management program is integrated into our overall risk management program and shares common methodologies, reporting channels, and governance processes that apply across the risk management program.

Key elements of our cybersecurity risk management program include, but are not limited to, the following:

•risk assessments designed to help identify material risks from cybersecurity threats to our critical systems and information;

•a security team principally responsible for managing (1) our cybersecurity risk assessment processes, (2) our security controls, and (3) our response to cybersecurity incidents;

•the use of external service providers, where appropriate, to assess, test, or otherwise assist with aspects of our security processes;

•cybersecurity awareness training of our employees, including incident response personnel and senior management;

•a cybersecurity incident response plan that includes procedures for responding to cybersecurity incidents; and

•a third-party risk management process for key service providers based on our assessment of their criticality to our operations and respective risk profile.

We have not identified risks from known cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any prior cybersecurity incidents, that have materially affected us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. We face risks from

cybersecurity threats that, if realized, are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. See “Risk Factors – We may be vulnerable to security breaches or cybersecurity incidents which could disrupt our operations and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.”

Governance

Our Board considers cybersecurity risk as part of its risk oversight function and has delegated to the Audit Committee (the “Committee”) oversight of cybersecurity risks, including oversight of management’s implementation of our cybersecurity risk management program.

The Committee receives regular reports from management on our cybersecurity risks. In addition, management updates the Committee, where it deems appropriate, regarding cybersecurity incidents it considers to be potentially significant.

The Committee reports to the full Board regarding its activities, including those related to cybersecurity. The full Board also periodically receives briefings from management on our cyber risk management program. Board members receive presentations on cybersecurity topics from our Chief Information Officer and VP of Technology Risk and Cybersecurity, internal security staff, or external experts as part of the Board’s continuing education on topics that impact public companies.

Risk Factors of this Annual Report.

Management’s Overview

We view, manage, and report on our business through two segments:

•Global warehousing, which utilizes our high-quality industrial real estate properties to provide temperature-controlled warehousing storage and services to our customers; and

Components of Our Results of Operations

Global Warehousing Segment. Our primary business is owning and operating temperature-controlled warehouses.

Revenue. Our global warehousing segment revenues are generated from storing frozen and perishable food and other products and providing related warehouse services for our customers. Storage revenues relate to the act of storing products for our customers within our warehouses. Storage revenues can be in the form of storage fees we charge customers for utilization of non-exclusive space or a set amount of reserved space in a warehouse, blast freezing fees we charge customers for utilization of specific ultra-cold spaces within a warehouse designed to rapidly reduce product temperature, and rent we charge customers for the lease of warehouse space pursuant to a lease agreement.

Warehouse services fees relate to handling and other services required to prepare and move customers’ pallets into, out of, and around the facilities. As part of our warehouse services, we offer receipt, handling, case-picking, retrieval of products from storage, building customized pallets and repackaging, order assembly and load consolidation, exporting and importing support services, container handling, cross-docking, quality control, and government-approved storage and inspection, among other services.

We utilize one of four types of contracts with our customers for use of space within our warehouses – warehouse agreements, rate letters, tariff sheets, and lease agreements. We may have one contract with a customer that covers all of the warehouses where we store products for the customer or, more typically, multiple contracts with the same customer, which may be driven by a variety of factors, such as the geographic location of the products stored by the customer, the type of products stored by the customer, or the different business units of a customer.

•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. 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.

•Rate Letters. Rate letters are agreements that typically establish storage fee rates on products stored in our warehouses and rates for warehouse services pursuant to terms set forth on a standardized warehouse receipt and related rate schedule. Rate letters may have terms similar to our warehouse agreements, including minimum storage guarantees, and are typically for a term of one year or less. Rate letters generally require our customers to pay for storage in seven to 30-day increments.

•Tariff Sheets. Similar to rate letters, tariff sheets are agreements that establish storage fee rates on products stored in our warehouses and on an as-utilized, on-demand basis, pursuant to terms set forth on a standardized warehouse receipt but that do not require the customer to use our warehouse or for us to reserve space for these customers; however, our tariff sheets in certain jurisdictions may provide for a de minimis minimum monthly payment from a customer to maintain its access to a given warehouse. Our tariff sheets are updated annually, and the agreements are short-term in nature.

•Leases. We lease space to certain customers that desire to manage their own temperature-controlled warehousing or carry on processing operations in warehouses adjacent, or in close proximity, to their production facilities. Our customer leased warehouses are typically leased to third parties, such as food producers, distributors and retailers, under triple net lease agreements pursuant to which the customer is responsible for all costs incurred for facility maintenance, insurance, taxes, utilities, and other services necessary or appropriate for the applicable warehouse and the business conducted at the applicable warehouse. We typically charge rent based on the square footage leased in our warehouses. We consider the creditworthiness of a potential tenant to be an important consideration in determining whether to engage in a new lease agreement.

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.

Global Integrated Solutions Segment. Our global integrated solutions segment provides our customers with a comprehensive approach to facilitate the movement of products along the supply chain.

Revenues. Our integrated solutions 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 global integrated solutions 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. 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.

Other Consolidated Operating Expenses.

Depreciation and amortization expenses. Our depreciation and amortization expenses 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. 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. 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 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.

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, excluding impairments of goodwill.

Key Factors Affecting Our Business and Financial Results

Market Conditions

Our business is impacted by general economic and market conditions, as well as by national and international political, environmental, and socio-economic events.

Significant factors impacting our business have included:

•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 have continued to impact end-consumers’ buying decisions for certain commodities, which 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 in certain sectors, particularly in North 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. This rationalization has driven changes in customer demand for our warehouse space and services. As our customers continue to adjust to these new demand levels and rationalize inventory, we have seen lower occupancy and throughput volume across our network but a return to more normal seasonal inventory 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.

•Labor. Following headwinds in recent years from wage inflation, labor shortages, and team member turnover, our team has focused on strategic initiatives to decrease turnover through our stock-based compensation awards, higher wages, engagement best practices, and training to help retain talent. Retention has improved due to these internal efforts and macroeconomic factors.

•Power Costs. Following increased power costs in prior years, particularly in our European operations, our power costs 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.

Refer to Item 1A. “Risk Factors” for additional information.

Foreign Currency Translation Impact on Our Operations

Our consolidated revenues and expenses are subject to variations caused by the net effect of foreign currency translation on revenues and expenses incurred by our operations outside the United States. Future fluctuations of foreign currency exchange rates and their impact on our consolidated financial statements are inherently uncertain. Our primary currency exposures are to the euro, Canadian dollar, British pound sterling, and Australian dollar. Revenues and expenses are typically denominated in the local currency of the country in which they are derived or incurred, which partially mitigates the net impact of foreign currency fluctuations on our operating results and margins.

How We Assess the Performance of Our Business

Segment Net Operating Income or “Segment NOI”

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” for each of our business segments, which we calculate as segment NOI divided by segment revenues.

Same Warehouse Analysis

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 global warehousing 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 December 31, 2025 includes all properties that we owned as of January 1, 2024 which had both been owned and had reached “normalized operations” by January 1, 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 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 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.

The following table shows the composition of our warehouse portfolio as of December 31, 2025.


Total warehouses (1)			482
Same warehouse			413
Non-same warehouse			69

(1) Excludes 19 warehouses in our global integrated solutions segment as of December 31, 2025. We categorize warehouses as part of our global integrated solutions segment if the primary business conducted in those warehouses is within our global integrated solutions segment.

Same warehouse NOI is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP. In addition, other companies providing temperature-controlled warehouse storage and handling and other warehouse services may not define same warehouse or calculate same warehouse NOI in a manner consistent with our definition or calculation. Same warehouse NOI should be considered as a supplement, but not as an alternative, to our results calculated in accordance with GAAP. We provide reconciliations of these measures in the discussions of our comparative results of operations below.

Economic Occupancy of Our Warehouses

We define average economic occupancy as the aggregate number of physical pallets on hand and any additional pallet positions otherwise contractually committed and paid for by customers for a given period divided by the approximate number of average physical pallet positions in our warehouse for the applicable period. We estimate the number of contractually committed pallet positions by taking into account the actual pallet commitment specified in each customer’s warehouse agreement and subtracting the physical pallets on hand for that customer. We regard economic occupancy as an important driver of our financial results.

Physical Occupancy of Our Warehouses

We define average physical occupancy as the average number of physical pallets on hand divided by the estimated number of average physical pallet positions in our warehouses for the applicable period. We estimate the number of physical pallet positions by taking into account actual racked space and by estimating unracked space on an as-if-racked basis. We base this estimate on a formula utilizing the total cubic feet of each room within the warehouse that is unracked divided by the volume of an assumed rack space that is consistent with the characteristics of the relevant warehouse. The number of our pallet positions is reviewed and updated quarterly, taking into account changes in racking configurations and other warehouse attributes. We regard physical occupancy as an important driver of our financial results.

Throughput at Our Warehouses

The level and nature of throughput at our warehouses is an important factor impacting our warehouse services revenues. Throughput refers to the volume of inbound pallets that enter our warehouses plus the volume of outbound pallets that exit our warehouses, divided by two. Higher levels of throughput drive warehouse services revenues in our global warehousing segment, as customers are typically billed transactionally for these services. The nature of throughput may be driven by the expected inventory turns of the underlying product or commodity. Throughput pallets can be influenced by both customers’ production as well as shifts in demand preferences. Customers’ production levels, which respond to market conditions, labor availability, supply chain dynamics, and consumer preferences, may impact inbound pallets. Similarly, a change in inventory turnover due to shift in consumer demand may impact outbound pallets.

Same warehouse storage revenues decreased $39 million, or 2.1%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily driven by lower average occupancy. Economic occupancy decreased by 130 basis points, as our customers rationalized inventory and production levels during continued economic pressures. Same warehouse storage revenues per economic occupied pallet was flat compared to the prior year.

Same warehouse services revenues decreased $46 million, or 2.7%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily driven by lower throughput volumes, lower rates, and other changes in our business profile in response to changing customer needs. Same warehouse services revenue per throughput pallet decreased 0.9% compared to the prior year. Throughput pallets at our same warehouses decreased 2.3% compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily driven by customer rationalization of inventory and production levels as discussed above.

Same warehouse cost of operations decreased $1 million, or less than 0.1%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, resulting from decreases in occupancy and throughput volumes discussed above.

Non-same warehouse revenues increased $148 million, or 56.3%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, including approximately $154 million from acquisitions and $30 million from recently completed greenfield and expansion projects, partially offset by a $37 million net decrease from other non-same warehouse sites.

Non-same warehouse cost of operations increased $114 million, or 64.4%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, including approximately $112 million from acquisitions and $14 million from recently completed greenfield and expansion projects, partially offset by a $12 million net decrease from other non-same warehouse sites.

Global Integrated Solutions Segment

The following table presents the operating results of our global integrated solutions segment for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.


	Year Ended December 31,
	2025			2024			Change

(1) Cost of operations excludes $5 million and $2 million of stock-based compensation expense and related employer-paid payroll taxes for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Global integrated solutions segment revenues were $1,405 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, a decrease of $48 million, or 3.3%, compared to $1,453 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the divestiture of the Spain Transportation business which occurred in August 2025 and lower transportation volumes, partially offset by higher foodservice and direct-to-consumer volumes. In addition, the foreign currency translation of revenues earned by our foreign operations had a $12 million favorable impact compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.

Global integrated solutions segment cost of operations was $1,154 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, a decrease of $68 million, or 5.6%, compared to $1,222 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the above-mentioned sale of the Spain Transportation business, lower transportation volumes, and cost control measures. The foreign currency translation of cost of operations from our foreign operations had an $11 million unfavorable impact compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.

Global integrated solutions segment NOI was $251 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $20 million, or 8.7%, compared to $231 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Foreign currency translation had a net favorable impact of $1 million compared to year ended December 31, 2024.

Other Consolidated Operating Expenses


	Year Ended December 31,
	2025		2024		Change
	(in millions)
Other consolidated operating expense:
Depreciation and amortization expense	$	895	$	876	2.2	%
General and administrative expense	$	574	$	539	6.5	%
Acquisition, transaction, and other expense	$	67	$	651	(89.7)	%
Goodwill impairment	$	48	$	—	n.m.
Restructuring, impairment, and (gain) loss on disposals	$	(44)	$	57	n.m.

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense was $895 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $19 million, or 2.2%, compared to $876 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily related to acquisitions, greenfield and expansion projects.

General and administrative expense. General and administrative expenses were $574 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, an increase of $35 million, or 6.5%, compared to $539 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to $28 million of additional stock-based compensation expense driven by the restructuring of our equity compensation plans in conjunction with becoming a public company. During the third and fourth quarters of 2025, the Company reversed $22 million of previously recognized stock-based compensation expense due to decreased likelihood of achieving certain performance conditions of performance-based LTIP and RSU awards granted in 2024 (see Note 18, Stock-based compensation to

the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report for details). For the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, general and administrative expenses were 10.7% and 10.1% of total revenues, respectively, with the increase primarily driven by the stock-based compensation expense mentioned above.

Acquisition, transaction, and other expense. Acquisition, transaction, and other expenses were $67 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, a decrease of $584 million compared to $651 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to costs associated with our IPO, including internalization costs and stock-based compensation expense related to one-time awards associated with the IPO. During both years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company also recorded fair value adjustments of $31 million related to Put Options issued in connection with the IPO. All of the Put Options were exercised and settled as of December 31, 2025. For further detail on costs associated with our IPO and stock-based compensation, see Note 2, Capital structure and noncontrolling interests and Note 18, Stock-based compensation to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report.

Goodwill impairment. Due to the sale of Spain Transportation (see Note 4, Business combinations, asset acquisitions, and divestitures) during the third quarter of 2025, and separately, in connection with the annual goodwill impairment test performed as of October 1, 2025, after considering an increase in the risk free interest rate and overall market decline, the Company performed quantitative impairment assessments. The Company determined that the impacted reporting units more likely than not had fair values below their carrying values. As a result, the Company recorded goodwill impairments of $28 million in the third quarter of 2025 and $20 million in the fourth quarter of 2025. No impairment was identified or recognized for the year ended December 31, 2024. For further detail, see Note 6, Goodwill and other intangible assets, net to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report.

Restructuring, impairment, and (gain) loss on disposals. Restructuring, impairment, and (gain) loss on disposals were net gain of $44 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to net loss of $57 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The change primarily related to impairments of intangible assets and gains or losses on the sale of assets. In addition, both years included net gains associated with a fire that occurred in April 2024 at the Company’s warehouse in Kennewick, Washington, further discussed below.

During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $63 million on customer relationships assets. Immaterial impairment losses were recorded on other intangible assets during the year ended December 31, 2025. For further detail on our intangible assets, see Note 6, Goodwill and other intangible assets, net in our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report.

The year ended December 31, 2025 included a net gain of $23 million related to the sale of real estate assets, primarily related to the December 2025 sale of a building and certain related assets in the U.S., on which the Company recognized a gain of $27 million. The year ended December 31, 2024 included a net loss of $10 million on the sale of real estate assets.

In addition, the year ended December 31, 2025 included a net gain of $53 million related to the Kennewick, Washington fire, primarily from $54 million of insurance reimbursement. The year ended December 31, 2024 included a net gain of $51 million related to the fire, consisting of an insurance reimbursement of $105 million, partially offset by $25 million loss of carrying value of the impaired assets and $29 million of clean-up costs (see Note 20, Commitments and contingencies in our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report for details).

Other Income (Expense)

The following table presents other items of income and expense for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.


	Year Ended December 31,				Change
	2025		2024		%
	(in millions)
Other income (expense):
Interest expense, net	$	(268)	$	(430)	(37.7)	%
Gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt	$	(3)	$	(17)	(82.4)	%
Gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions, net	$	28	$	(25)	n.m.
Equity income (loss), net of tax	$	(3)	$	(6)	(50.0)	%
Other nonoperating income (expense), net	$	(50)	$	(1)	n.m.

Interest (expense), net. We reported net interest expense of $268 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, a decrease of $162 million, or 37.7%, compared to $430 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The average effective interest rate of our outstanding debt was 4.3% for the year ended December 31, 2025, a decrease from 6.1% for the year ended December 31, 2024, due to lower average borrowings after substantial debt repayments with IPO proceeds during the year ended December 31, 2024. As a result of this repayment, the notional value of our hedging instruments represents a larger proportion of our overall borrowings. When taking into account income (expense) generated from hedging instruments, the average effective interest rate of our outstanding debt was 3.0% for the year ended December 31, 2025, a decrease from 4.8% for the year ended December 31, 2024. For additional information regarding our net interest expense, see Note 12, Interest expense in our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report.

Gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt. We recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $3 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, as a result of repaying debt relating to the Spain Transportation business. We recognized a loss on debt extinguishment of $17 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, as the result of various debt refinancing agreements. For additional information regarding our debt, see Note 10, Debt in our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report.

Gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions, net. We reported a net foreign currency exchange gain of $28 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to a net loss of $25 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in foreign currency exchange gain was due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar, with the largest impacts driven by the euro.

Equity income (loss), net of tax. We reported $3 million of net loss from equity method investments for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to a net loss of $6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. 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 $50 million of other nonoperating expense for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to net expense of $1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we recognized a loss of $55 million on the sale of Lineage Spain Transportation, a European subsidiary. For additional information regarding the divestiture, see Note 4, Business combinations, asset acquisitions, and divestitures in our the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

Income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $2 million, a decrease of $87 million from an income tax benefit of $89 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The tax benefit in 2025 was principally created by the tax-effect of pre-tax earnings in various jurisdictions, nondeductible expenses including stock-based compensation and interest expense, and financial statement losses for which no tax benefit was recognized. The tax benefit in 2024 was principally created by the tax-effect of pre-tax earnings in various jurisdictions and changes to valuation allowance on deferred tax assets, reduced by tax adjustments related to REIT activity. Our income taxes are discussed in more detail in Note 9, Income taxes to the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use the following non-GAAP financial measures as supplemental performance measures of our business: segment NOI, FFO, Core FFO, Adjusted FFO, EBITDA, EBITDAre, and Adjusted EBITDA. We also use same warehouse and non-same warehouse metrics described above.

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 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 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.

The table below reconciles total segment NOI to net income (loss), which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, in each case for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

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”, as EBITDA further adjusted for net loss or gain on sale of real estate assets, net of withholding taxes, impairment of real estate 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.

In addition, 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 and related employer-paid payroll taxes from grants under our equity incentive plans, loss or gain on debt extinguishment and modification, impairments of goodwill and other non-real 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, 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:

•these measures do not reflect our historical or future cash requirements for 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 and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and these measures do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements.

We use EBITDA, EBITDAre, and Adjusted EBITDA as measures of our operating performance and not as measures of liquidity.

The table below reconciles EBITDA, EBITDAre, and Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, in each case for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

We calculate funds from operations, or FFO, in accordance with the standards established by the Board of Governors of the NAREIT. NAREIT defines FFO as net income or loss determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items as defined under 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, in-place lease intangible amortization, real estate asset impairment, and our share of reconciling items for partially owned entities. 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, gain or loss on the destruction of property (net of insurance proceeds), finance lease ROU asset amortization real estate, impairments of goodwill and other non-real estate assets including intangible assets, acquisition, restructuring and other, other nonoperating income or expense, loss on debt extinguishment and modifications and the effects of gain or loss on foreign currency exchange. We also adjust for the impact attributable to non-real estate impairments on unconsolidated joint ventures and natural disaster. 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 deferred financing costs, amortization of debt discount/premium amortization of above or below market leases, straight-line net operating rent, provision or benefit from deferred income taxes, stock-based compensation expense and related employer-paid payroll taxes from grants under our equity incentive plans, non-real estate depreciation and amortization, non-real estate finance lease ROU asset amortization, and recurring maintenance capital expenditures. We also adjust for Adjusted FFO attributable to our share of reconciling items of partially owned entities. 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 GAAP net income and net income per diluted share (the most directly comparable 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 GAAP and are not indicative of our results of operations or cash flows from operating activities as disclosed in our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report. 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 below reconciles FFO, Core FFO, and Adjusted FFO to net income (loss), which is the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, in each case for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2025, we had $65 million of cash and cash equivalents and $1.9 billion available under our Revolving Credit Facility (net of outstanding standby letters of credit in the amount of $61 million, which reduce availability). We currently expect that our principal sources of funding will include:

•current cash balances;

•cash flows from operations;

•proceeds from the disposition of properties or other investments;

•our credit facilities; and

•other forms of debt financings and equity offerings.

Our liquidity requirements and capital commitments primarily consist of:

•operating activities and overall working capital;

•capital expenditures;

•development and acquisition activities;

•debt service obligations; and

•stockholder distributions.

As of December 31, 2025, we expect that our funding sources as noted above will be adequate to meet our short-term liquidity requirements and capital commitments for the next twelve months. For more information regarding our debt facilities, refer to Note 10, Debt in the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report. We expect to utilize the same sources of capital we will rely on to meet our short-term liquidity requirements to also meet our long-term liquidity requirements, which include funding our operating activities, our debt service obligations and stockholder distributions, and our future development and acquisition activities.

Dividends and Distributions

We are required to distribute at least 90% of our taxable income (excluding capital gains) on an annual basis in order to continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, we intend to make, but are not contractually bound to make, regular quarterly distributions to stockholders from cash flows from our operating activities. All such distributions are at the discretion of our board of directors. We consider market factors and our performance in addition to REIT requirements in determining distribution levels. Amounts accumulated for distribution to stockholders are primarily invested in interest-bearing accounts, which are consistent with our intention to maintain REIT status.

As a result of this distribution requirement, we cannot rely on retained earnings to fund our ongoing operations to the same extent that other companies which are not REITs can. We may need to continue to raise capital in the debt and equity markets to fund our working capital needs, as well as potential developments in new or existing properties or acquisitions. In addition, we may be required to use borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility, if necessary, to meet REIT distribution requirements and maintain our REIT status.

Since the IPO, the board of directors of the Company has declared a regular quarterly cash dividend, which was prorated for the inaugural period of the third quarter of 2024 at $0.38 per share of common stock. The dividend declared every quarter since then has been $0.5275 per share of common stock. Each dividend is payable to shareholders of record as of the last day of the respective quarter and is paid in the subsequent month.

Offering of New Senior Unsecured Notes

On June 17, 2025, Lineage OP, LP (the “operating partnership” or “OP” issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25% senior notes due July 15, 2030 (the “5.25% Notes”). Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing January 15, 2026. The 5.25% Notes were issued at 98.991% of par. The net proceeds from the 5.25% Notes issuance were approximately $490 million and were used to repay a portion of the outstanding balance on the Revolving Credit Facility.

On November 26, 2025, Lineage Europe Finco B.V., an indirect subsidiary of Lineage, Inc., issued €700 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% senior notes due November 26, 2031 (the “4.125% Notes”). Interest on the notes is payable annually on November 26 of each year, commencing November 26, 2026. The 4.125% Notes were issued at 99.324% of par. The net proceeds from the 4.125% Notes were approximately $802 million and were used to repay a portion of the outstanding balance on the Revolving Credit Facility.

The 5.25% Notes and the 4.125% Notes (collectively, the “New Senior Unsecured Notes”) are guaranteed by Lineage, Inc., the Operating Partnership, Lineage Europe Finco B.V., Lineage Logistics Holdings, LLC, and certain other subsidiaries of the Company that guarantee or are otherwise obligated in respect of the Credit Agreement (other than the issuing subsidiary and any excluded subsidiaries, collectively, the “Guarantors”). The Company’s other subsidiaries do not guarantee the New Senior Unsecured Notes (collectively, “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”).

The Company may redeem the notes in whole or in part, at any time one or two months prior to the respective maturity date (the “Par Call Date”), at a redemption price equal to the greater of: (i) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (as calculated pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the respective notes); and (ii) 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date. On or after the Par Call Date, the Operating Partnership may redeem the respective notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date.

Senior Unsecured Notes Series

Refer to Note 10, Debt in our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report for details of outstanding Senior Unsecured Notes Series.

Security Interests in Customers’ Products

By operation of law and in accordance with our warehouse customer contracts (other than leases), we typically receive warehouseman’s liens on products held in our warehouses to secure customer payments. Such liens typically permit us to take control of the products and sell them to third parties in order to recover any monies receivable on a delinquent account, but such products may be perishable or otherwise not available to us for re-sale.

Our credit loss expense related to customer receivables was $6 million and $5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we maintained allowances for uncollectible balances of $10 million and $10 million, respectively, which we believed to be adequate.

Maintenance Capital Expenditures and Repair and Maintenance Expenses

Lineage prides itself on maintaining its facilities, fleet, and railcars at a high standard. We regularly update long-range maintenance plans by asset so that our assets maintain the high quality and operational efficiency that our customers expect from us.

Recurring Maintenance Capital Expenditures

Recurring maintenance capital expenditures are capitalized funds used to maintain assets that will result in an extended useful life. This includes the cost to purchase and install, repair, or construct assets when it results in a useful life longer than one year and the installed cost per asset is over a de minimis threshold. Maintenance capital expenditures are related to both our global warehousing segment and global integrated solutions segment, including information technology, and are all, in management’s judgment, recurring in nature. These expenditures include maintenance performed multiple times over the lifetime of the facility or asset, such as replacing or repairing roofs, refrigeration systems, racking, material handling equipment, and fleet. These expenditures also include information technology maintenance to existing servers, equipment, and software.

The following table sets forth our recurring maintenance capital expenditures for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.


	Year Ended December 31,
		2025		2024

Global warehousing		$	141	$	149
Global integrated solutions		21		21
Information technology and other		11		25
Recurring maintenance capital expenditures		$	173	$	195

Repair and Maintenance Expenses

Repair and maintenance expenses are incurred when assets need repair or replacement and do not qualify as capital expenditures. If the work does not materially extend the useful life of the asset or the asset value is less than a de minimis threshold, it would be recorded as an operating expense under repair and maintenance expenses, included primarily in Cost of operations on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Examples include ordinary repairs on roofs, racking, refrigeration, and material handling equipment. Project-related expenses are excluded.

The following table sets forth our repair and maintenance expenses for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Global warehousing		$	151	$	144
Global integrated solutions		55		54
Repair and maintenance expenses		$	206	$	198

Integration Capital Expenditures

Integration capital expenditures are capitalized funds related to integrating acquired assets and businesses. Integration capital expenditures are one-time expenditures. These are typically acquisition-related costs, including maintenance on acquired assets that are beyond their useful life at the time of acquisition, rebranding expenditures, and information technology expenditures to standardize system usage across our business, and also include certain non-acquisition related costs, including safety and compliance projects to comply with any applicable policies, laws, or codes, such as installation of site security or a new fire suppression system, as well as freon-to-ammonia conversions.

External Growth Capital Investments

External growth capital investments include acquisitions, greenfield projects and expansion initiatives, information technology platform enhancements, and other capital projects which result in an economic return. We divide growth projects into the following categories:

•Acquisitions: The purchase of an external company or facility. Also includes the purchase of the real estate of facilities we currently lease.

•Greenfields and Expansions: Projects either to build a new facility, including the purchase of land, or to increase the size of an existing warehouse (as measured by cubic feet). The costs associated with construction and materials are included.

•Energy and Economic Return: Energy return projects are intended to increase energy efficiency by decreasing the amount of kWh or fossil fuels consumed or reducing the cost to procure energy. Common examples include installing new LED technology, installing solar panels at a warehouse, and electrification of transportation fleet. Economic return projects require an investment of capital for a future cash flow and/or segment NOI benefit that is not an acquisition, greenfield, expansion, or energy project. Examples include addition of blast cells, racking replacements, replacing freezer doors, purchasing compressors, buying out leased equipment, and purchasing new rail cars.

•Information Technology Transformation and Growth: Capital investments focused on (a) warehouse operations efficiency – deploying technology that leverages advanced algorithms and artificial intelligence to increase labor productivity and higher utilization; (b) customer experience and service – building and implementing technology solutions to improve response times, automate common tasks, and offer seamless multi-channel support elevating both customer and employee experience; and (c) sales management, pricing and billing – creating and integrating IT systems to streamline sales processes, optimize pricing, and enhance billing accuracy and efficiency.

We completed five acquisitions during each of the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Refer to Note 4, Business combinations, asset acquisitions, and divestitures in our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report for more information regarding current period business combinations and asset acquisitions.

The greenfield and expansion expenditures related primarily to projects that remained under construction as of the respective period end, with a notable greenfield in Bremerhaven, Germany and an expansion at the Hobart, IN cold storage facility during both the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, as well as the construction of a new, fully automated cold storage warehouse in Hazleton, PA during the year ended December 31, 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we have also began construction on a new greenfield in Dallas, TX under our arrangement with Tyson Foods (see Note 4, Business combinations, asset acquisitions, and divestitures for discussion of the Tyson Foods agreements) and an expansion at one of our fully automated cold storage warehouses in the Netherlands.

Energy and economic return initiatives included corporate initiatives and smaller customer-driven growth projects. Information technology transformation and growth initiatives included spending on our patented LinOS technology.

Historical Cash Flows

The following summary discussion of our cash flows is based on the consolidated statements of cash flows included in this Annual Report.


	Year Ended December 31,
	2025		2024
	(in millions)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	943	$	703
Net cash used in investing activities	$	(1,067)	$	(919)
Net cash provided by financing activities	$	14	$	320

Operating Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2025, our net cash provided by operating activities was $943 million, compared to $703 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to a decrease in net loss, most notably from lower interest expense and one-time non-cash IPO expenses in 2024 which did not reoccur in 2025, along with favorable changes in working capital, most significantly in accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and deferred revenue, partially offset by the unfavorable change in accounts receivable and non-cash items. The notable non-cash items for the year ended December 31, 2025 primarily consisted of $126 million of stock-based compensation expense and $52 million of net loss on divestitures. The notable non-cash items for the year ended December 31, 2024 primarily consisted of IPO-related items, such as $200 million of Internalization expense to Bay Grove, and $185 million of expense for vesting of Class D interests in LLH, as well as $215 million of stock-based compensation.

Investing Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2025, cash used in investing activities was $1,067 million. The most significant uses were $443 million in acquisitions, net of cash acquired (see Note 4, Business combinations, asset acquisitions, and divestitures in our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report for more information regarding business combinations and asset acquisitions), and $747 million in purchases of property, plant, and equipment, primarily for growth capital expenditures. In addition, we invested $9 million in our equity method investee Emergent Cold LatAm Holdings, LLC. This was partially offset by $70 million from proceeds from sale of assets and $51 million of insurance proceeds for recoveries on impaired long-lived assets, which were primarily related to a fire which occurred at the Company’s warehouse in Kennewick, Washington in 2024 (see Note 20, Commitments and contingencies in our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report for details).

For the year ended December 31, 2024, cash used in investing activities was $919 million. The most significant uses were $691 million in purchases of property, plant, and equipment, primarily for growth capital expenditures. In addition, we invested $346 million in the acquisitions of Entrepôt du Nord Inc, Luik Natie Holding N.V., and Eurofrigor S.r.l. Magazzini Generali and $20 million in Emergent Cold LatAm Holdings, LLC, offset by $105 million in insurance recovery proceeds for the warehouse fire in Kennewick.

Financing Activities

Our net cash provided by financing activities was $14 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, which primarily consisted of $1,298 million of proceeds from issuance of new senior notes. These inflows were offset by $537 million of dividends and other distributions, $231 million of repayments of long-term debt and finance leases ($88 million of which was related to the Houston, Texas lease purchase), $226 million of net payments on revolving credit lines, $144 million for payment of the exercise of Put Options, $82 million for redemption of common stock ($76 million of which was the repurchase of common stock pursuant to Put Options exercises), and $28 million of redemption of redeemable noncontrolling interest. See Note 2, Capital structure and noncontrolling interests in our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report for details of Put Options transactions.

Our net cash provided by financing activities was $320 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, which reflected the impacts of the change in our debt and capital structure as a result of our 2024 IPO. The financing activities primarily consisted of $4,879 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock in our IPO (net of equity raise costs) and $600 million of net borrowings on revolving credit lines. The inflows were offset by $4,631 million net for repayments of long-term debt and finance leases (see Note 10, Debt for details of debt instruments paid off in 2024), $234 million for distributions, $75 million for redemption of OPEUs, $46 million for payment of deferred consideration liabilities, $46 million for the repurchase of common shares for employee income taxes on stock-based compensation, $45 million for financing fees, and $42 million for redemption of common stock ($17 million of which was the repurchase of common stock pursuant to Put Options exercises).

Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information

In 2025, the Operating Partnership and Lineage Europe Finco B.V. issued senior notes (“New Senior Unsecured Notes”) which were fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Lineage, Inc., the Operating Partnership, Lineage Europe Finco B.V., Lineage Logistics Holdings, LLC, and certain other subsidiaries of the Company that guarantee or are otherwise obligated in respect of the Credit Agreement (other than the respective issuer and any excluded subsidiaries, collectively, the “Guarantors,” as detailed in Exhibit 22.1 to this Form 10-K). The Company’s other subsidiaries do not guarantee the New Senior Unsecured Notes (collectively, “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”). Refer to Note 10, Debt in our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report for additional information regarding the New Senior Unsecured Notes.

The following tables present summarized financial information for the Guarantors, including Lineage Europe Finco B.V., and the OP on a combined basis, after the elimination of (a) intercompany transactions and balances between all the Guarantors entities, Lineage Europe Finco B.V., and the OP and (b) equity in earnings from and investments in the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries.

The New Senior Unsecured Notes and each guarantee of the New Senior Unsecured Notes is effectively subordinated in right of payment to: all existing and future secured indebtedness and secured guarantees of the OP or such Guarantor (to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness and guarantees); all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, whether secured or unsecured, of the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries and of any entity the OP or such Guarantor accounts for using the equity method of accounting; and all existing and future preferred equity not owned by the OP or such Guarantor in Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries and in any entity the OP or such Guarantor accounts for using the equity method of accounting.

As of December 31, 2025, entities that are direct borrowers, guarantors, or otherwise obligated in respect the Credit Agreement had an aggregate of $19,924 million of assets and were direct borrowers, guarantors or otherwise obligated in respect of an aggregate of $5,663 million of indebtedness, in each case, excluding intercompany investments and obligations. As of December 31, 2025, the OP, Lineage Europe Finco B.V., and the Guarantors had an aggregate of $19,196 million of assets and were direct borrowers in respect of $5,505 million of indebtedness, in each case, excluding intercompany investments and obligations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments in certain circumstances that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and contingencies as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be most appropriate and reasonable. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Refer to Note 1, Significant accounting policies and practices to the consolidated financial statements for our significant accounting policies. The following discussion pertains to accounting policies management believes are most critical to the portrayal of our historical financial condition and results of operations and that require a material level of subjectivity or judgment and relate to inherently highly uncertain matters.

Impairment of long-lived assets and finite lived intangible assets

We evaluate long-lived assets and finite lived intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the relevant asset groups may not be recoverable or when the assets are held for sale. Our assets are evaluated at the level of the smallest identifiable group of assets that generate cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other groups of assets, for example, an individual warehouse. Triggering events include material adverse changes in projected revenues or operating performance measures, a pattern of net losses, significant relevant negative industry trends, internal plans to dispose of an asset group, significant deterioration in the condition of the asset, and an identified impairment of related goodwill or other non-amortizable intangible assets.

Upon the occurrence of a triggering event, we assess whether the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected from the use of the asset group and the residual value from the ultimate disposal of the asset group exceed the carrying value. Undiscounted cash flows expected from the use of assets and the residual value are estimated based on our judgment using industry experience and knowledge of historical transactions and operations. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, its fair value is measured relying primarily on a discounted cash flow method. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, we reduce the carrying value to fair value and record an impairment loss in earnings. Fair values are estimated using discounting based on the applicable weighted average cost of capital, independent appraisals, quotes, or expected sales prices, as applicable. Changes in market conditions, the economic environment, and other factors can significantly impact these estimates. When an impairment loss is recognized for assets to be held and used, the adjusted carrying amounts of those assets are depreciated over their remaining useful life.

Impairments of property, plant, and equipment were $4 million, $35 million, and $2 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The 2024 charges primarily related to impairment of an entire warehouse in Kennewick, Washington due to a fire. In reviewing the factors of the Kennewick, Washington assets, the Company determined there were no undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the asset group after the fire damage, as such, it was impaired in full.

There were no material impairments of finite lived intangible assets in 2025 or 2023. During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company identified two customer relationship assets in the Global Integrated Solutions segment which had higher customer attrition than previously expected, resulting in lower cash flow projections. We performed an impairment test of these assets, first by assessing the undiscounted cash flows of the relevant asset groups as compared to their carrying values, and then estimating the fair values of each asset group. As a result of this exercise, substantially all of the impairment within the asset groups was allocated to customer relationships, which employs the use of discounted future cash flows and requires key assumptions, including future revenue growth, attrition rates, discount rates, and remaining useful life. It was determined that both of the customer relationships assets’ fair values were below the carrying values within their respective asset groups, such that they were fully impaired. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded a total impairment loss of $63 million on these two customer relationship finite lived intangible assets.

Business combinations

We account for business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, allocation of the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. The excess of the fair value of purchase price consideration over the values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is assigned to each reporting unit based upon the relative fair value of the underlying business operations.

Significant estimates used in valuing land and buildings and improvements acquired in a business combination include, but are not limited to, the selection of comparable real estate sales, estimates of indirect costs, and entrepreneurial profit, which are added to the replacement cost of the acquired assets in order to estimate their fair market value.

Goodwill

We evaluate the carrying value of goodwill annually as of October 1 or when events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not indicate an impairment exists.

Goodwill is tested for impairment by assessing qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Qualitative factors assessed include reporting units’ financial performance as compared to budget, macroeconomic conditions, labor and energy cost trends, changes in our common stock price, events significantly affecting the composition or carrying amounts of our reporting units, and other trends impacting fair values of our reporting units. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, or based on management’s judgment, we determine it is more likely than not the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, a quantitative impairment test is performed.

2025 Impairment Testing

In 2025, the Company identified a triggering event during the third quarter due to the sale of Lineage Spain Transportation S.L.U. Accordingly, the Company performed an interim quantitative goodwill impairment test for the affected reporting unit within the Global Integrated Solutions segment.

Separately, in connection with the annual goodwill impairment test performed as of October 1, 2025, the Company performed a qualitative assessment and considered an increase in the risk-free interest rate and an overall market decline as negative factors. The Company determined that a further quantitative assessment was required for a reporting unit within the Global Warehousing segment with a low percentage by which the fair value exceeded carrying value based on its last assessment, which made it more susceptible to the impact of these adverse changes.

Based on the results of the quantitative assessments, we recorded goodwill impairments of $28 million in the third quarter of 2025 and $20 million in the fourth quarter of 2025.

For both the interim and annual quantitative assessments, the carrying value of each reporting unit included assets and liabilities attributable to their respective business operations and allocated goodwill as of the testing date. The fair value of each reporting unit was estimated using a combination of equally weighted income approach and market approach, specifically the discounted cash flow method and the guideline public company method. The estimated fair value calculated by the guideline public company method was within 4% and 6% of the estimated fair value calculated by the discounted cash flow method for the interim and annual test, respectively. Given the insignificant difference in the two methods, an equal weighting approach was determined to be the most appropriate in determining fair value, which is consistent with our policy and historical assessments. We utilized third-party valuation specialists and used industry accepted valuation models in calculating each reporting unit’s fair value estimate.

The income approach is based on discounted future cash flows and requires key assumptions, including the following:

•Future revenue growth: our analyses utilized an assumption of future growth based on industry forecasts, historical results, and existing long-term contracts. The long-term revenue growth assumption used in our model was 3.0% for both the interim and the annual test, which was consistent with the assumption used in the prior year model.

•EBITDA margin: our analyses utilized an assumption of future operating costs based on industry forecasts, historical results, operational focus of management, and market energy cost projections, assuming a slow, steady increase in our EBITDA margin.

•Capital requirements: we estimated future capital requirements based on current planned expansions, appropriation requests, and projected growth of existing operations included in the estimate of future revenue growth.

•Discount rates: we utilized a weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) that considers the cost of capital and cost of debt, with inputs such as risk premiums, relevant comparable public companies’ debt and capital metrics, tax rates, risk-free interest rates, and other assumptions. Our selected WACC rate was 10.5% for the interim test and 8.0% for the annual test, both of which increased from the prior year models due to an increase in the risk-free rate.

The market approach is based on market EBITDA multiples and requires judgment in selection of comparable companies and appropriate multiples.

The following table highlights the sensitivities of the most critical assumptions used in our goodwill impairment tests:


Assumption	Sensitivity Change (1)	Interim Test Result (Reporting Unit within Global Integrated Solutions)	Annual Test Result (Reporting Unit within Global Warehousing)
Future revenue growth	0.5% decrease to long-term revenue growth	Approximately $7 million of additional impairment	Approximately $160 million of additional impairment
Discount rates	0.5% increase to WACC	Approximately $9 million of additional impairment	Approximately $195 million of additional impairment
Market EBITDA multiples	0.5 decrease to EBITDA Multiples	Approximately $8 million of additional impairment	Approximately $80 million of additional impairment

(1) Sensitivities were calculated in isolation and keeping all other assumptions constant. Under a full analysis, some assumptions would be interconnected and a change in one could result in changes in other assumptions and lead to different impacts than what is noted above.

If the market conditions deteriorate further, we do not achieve the projected revenue growth or operational efficiencies, our capital spend increases significantly from the estimated figures, or other notable changes in our business occur, it could result in a significantly higher estimated goodwill impairment in these reporting units or cause an impairment in our other reporting units.

2024 Impairment Testing

At our annual impairment testing date as of October 1, 2024, we assessed qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of each of our reporting units exceeded its carrying value. Based on the qualitative factors reviewed and given the intangible asset impairment identified in 2024, we determined to perform a quantitative assessment for two of our international reporting units. Carrying values of these reporting units included assets and liabilities attributable to their respective business operations and allocated goodwill. Based on a comparison of the fair values to carrying values, we determined that it was more likely than not the fair values of these two reporting units exceeded their carrying values. Fair values of these reporting units were estimated using a combination of equally weighted income approach and market approach. Key assumptions included future revenue growth, operating costs and profitability, capital requirements, discount rates, and market EBITDA multiples.

Stock-based compensation – performance-based awards

The Company grants equity awards, some of which include vesting conditions based on achievement of certain Company and market performance metrics. We recognize stock-based compensation expense for performance-based awards based on the estimated grant date fair value as well as the estimated amount of performance-based awards which will ultimately become vested at the end of each award’s performance period based on the achievement of the performance criteria.

Subject to the recipient’s continued status as a service provider throughout the performance period, performance-based RSUs and LTIP Units vest based on the Company’s performance during an approximately three-year performance period, commencing on January 1st of the grant year (or the date of the IPO) and ending on December 31st of the third year (or, if earlier, the date on which a change in control of the Company occurs, if applicable).

The number of performance-based RSUs and LTIP Units that vest will range from 0% to 200% of the total number of performance-based shares granted, based on the attainment of the following metrics over the applicable performance period:

•Adjusted Funds from Operations per Share (“AFFO per share”);

•Same Warehouse NOI Growth (“SS NOI Growth”); and

•Total shareholder return (“TSR”) of Lineage, Inc. common stock relative to the MSCI US REIT Index for 2025 awards or S&P 500 Index for 2024 awards.

We measure performance-based RSUs and LTIP Units that comprise a TSR component at grant date fair values utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the probability of the market vesting condition being satisfied. The Monte Carlo simulation approach was selected because it is one of the most commonly utilized methods to value stock-based compensation arrangements that contain a market condition and meets the fair-value-based measurement objective of ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. Thus, we believe the use of this methodology is consistent with U.S. GAAP and most consistent with other filers, providing greater comparability of our disclosures to other filers. The Company’s achievement of the market vesting condition is contingent on its Relative TSR over the performance period. For each simulated path, the TSR is calculated at the end of the

performance period and determines the vesting percentage based on achievement of the performance target. The fair value of the performance-based RSUs and LTIP Units is the average discounted payout across all simulation paths. We forecast the likelihood of achieving the predefined performance condition targets in order to calculate the expected performance-based RSUs and LTIP Units that will become vested. We utilized third-party valuation specialists in calculating the fair values of our performance-based awards. Refer to Note 18, Stock-based compensation for the key assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation model.

We use internal forecasts to estimate the achievement of AFFO per share and SS NOI Growth metrics, which are uncertain and involve assumptions of future market conditions and customer demand. To estimate the AFFO per share metric, we also forecast the future number of shares outstanding at the end of each performance year, which involves management assumptions about capital-raising activities. The amount of expected performance-based RSUs and LTIP Units that will become vested is multiplied by the grant date fair value of the awards to arrive at the total expense for a given award. This expense is then recognized ratably over the performance period. If the performance conditions are deemed not probable of being achieved, the Company reverses previously recognized stock-based compensation expense in the period the probability determination is made. If the performance conditions are later deemed probable of being achieved, compensation cost will be recognized prospectively over the remaining service period.

Although we believe that the stock-based compensation expense recognized for the years ended 2025 and 2024 is representative of the cumulative ratable amortization of the grant-date fair value of unvested awards outstanding, changes to the estimate of performance-based awards which will ultimately become vested or estimates of the achievement of the market vesting condition utilized in the Monte Carlo simulation could produce materially different expense recognition and grant date fair values, respectively.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Our future income and cash flows relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevalent market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates.

As of December 31, 2025, we had $2,565 million of variable-rate debt under our revolver and term loan agreements, primarily bearing interest at Adjusted SOFR of 3.9%, plus a margin of 77.5 basis points and 92.5 basis points for the revolver and term loan agreements, respectively (refer to Note 10, Debt to our consolidated financial statements for details of the entire balance by currency and rate). We have entered into interest rate hedges to effectively lock in the floating rates on $1,625 million of our variable-rate debt at a weighted average rate of 2.34% plus applicable margin. These hedges include swapping $500 million of borrowings under the Term Loan A to a weighted average fixed interest rate of 3.11% plus a margin of 92.5 basis points through February 2028 and 2% caps (plus a margin of 77.5 basis points) totaling $1,125 million on other variable-rate debt that expired in January 2026. As a result, our exposure to changes in interest rates as of December 31, 2025 primarily consists of our $1,021 million of unhedged variable rate debt. As of December 31, 2025, a 100 basis point increase in market interest rates would result in an increase in interest expense to service our variable-rate debt of approximately $10 million on an annualized basis. A 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates would result in a decrease in interest of approximately $10 million on an annualized basis.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, we executed forward-starting hedges which effectively lock in the floating rates on $750 million of borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility to a weighted average fixed interest rate of 3.19% plus a margin of 77.5 basis points upon the expiration of the above-described hedges in January 2026. These forward-starting hedges will expire in February 2028. After the replacement of the hedges which expired in January 2026 with these forward-starting hedges, our unhedged variable rate debt increased by $375 million.

Foreign Currency Risk

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange variability related to investments in and earnings from our foreign subsidiaries, as the revenues and expenses of these subsidiaries are typically generated in the currencies of the countries in which they operate. Foreign currency market risk is the possibility that our results of operations or financial position could be better or worse than planned because of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. When the local currencies in these countries decline relative to our reporting currency, the U.S. dollar, our consolidated revenues, segment NOI margins, and net investment in properties and operations outside the United States decrease. The impact of currency fluctuations on our earnings is partially mitigated by the fact that most operating and other expenses are also incurred and paid in the local currency. The impact of devaluation or depreciating currency on an entity depends on the residual effect on the local economy and the ability of an entity to raise prices and/or reduce expenses. Due to our constantly changing currency exposure and the potential substantial volatility of currency exchange rates, we cannot predict the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on our business. As a result, changes in the relation of the currency of our international operations to U.S. dollars may also affect the book value of our assets and the amount of total equity. A hypothetical 10% decline in the period-end functional currencies of our foreign subsidiaries relative to the U.S. dollar would have resulted in a reduction in our total equity of approximately $310 million as of December 31, 2025.

Gains or losses from translating the financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries are reflected in the Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) component of equity within our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report.

We enter into foreign currency derivative instruments to manage our exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates between the functional currencies of our subsidiaries and the currencies of the underlying cash flows. All derivatives are recognized on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value.

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Lineage, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2025, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), of redeemable noncontrolling interests and equity and of cash flows for the year then ended, including the related notes and schedule of real estate and accumulated depreciation as of December 31, 2025 listed in the accompanying index (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company did not maintain, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO because a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting existed as of that date related to the Company not designing and maintaining effective information technology general controls for information systems that are relevant to the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, including ineffective controls over program change management and user access.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weakness referred to above is described in Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. We considered this material weakness in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2025 consolidated financial statements, and our opinion regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting does not affect our opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Basis for Opinions

The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in management’s report referred to above. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Goodwill Impairment Assessments - Certain Reporting Units in the Global Integrated Solutions and Global Warehousing Segments

As described in Notes 1 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s goodwill balance for the Global Integrated Solutions and Global Warehousing segments as of December 31, 2025 was $628 million and $2,838 million, respectively. A portion of the goodwill from the Global Integrated Solutions and Global Warehousing segments is attributable to one individual reporting unit within each segment. Management evaluates the carrying value of goodwill each year as of October 1, or when events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not that indicate an impairment exists, by performing a qualitative assessment of various factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, or based on management’s judgment, it is determined it is more likely than not the fair value is less than its carrying amount, a quantitative assessment is performed. If the carrying amount is greater than the fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess of carrying value over fair value. Management identified a triggering event during the third quarter and determined that the impacted reporting unit more likely than not had a fair value below its carrying value. Accordingly, management performed an interim quantitative goodwill impairment test for the affected reporting unit within the Global Integrated Solutions segment. Separately, in connection with the annual goodwill impairment test performed as of October 1, 2025, management determined that a quantitative assessment was required for a reporting unit within the Global Warehousing segment as it more likely than not had a fair value below its carrying value. For both the interim and annual quantitative assessments, management estimated the respective reporting unit’s fair value using an equally weighted income and market approach, specifically, the discounted cash flow and guideline public company methods. These analyses

required significant judgments regarding projected long-term revenue growth, EBITDA (defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) margins, capital requirements, and discount rates. Other inputs included market EBITDA multiples, which are based on publicly available data of similar companies. Based on the results of the quantitative assessments, a $28 million goodwill impairment was recorded in the third quarter related to a certain reporting unit in the Global Integrated Solutions segment and a $20 million goodwill impairment was recorded in the fourth quarter related to a certain reporting unit in the Global Warehousing segment.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the goodwill impairment assessments for certain reporting units in the Global Integrated Solutions and Global Warehousing segments is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value estimates of the reporting units; (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating management’s significant assumptions related to projected long-term revenue growth, EBITDA margins, discount rates, and market EBITDA multiples; and (iii) the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s goodwill impairment assessments, including controls over the valuation of a certain reporting unit in the Global Integrated Solutions segment and the valuation of a certain reporting unit in the Global Warehousing segment. These procedures also included, among others (i) testing management’s process for developing the fair value estimates of the reporting units; (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of the income and market approaches used by management; (iii) testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data used in the income and market approaches; and (iv) evaluating the reasonableness of the significant assumptions used by management related to projected long-term revenue growth, EBITDA margins, discount rates, and market EBITDA multiples. Evaluating management’s assumptions related to projected long-term revenue growth and EBITDA margins involved evaluating whether the assumptions used by management were reasonable considering (i) the current and past performance of each of the reporting units; (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data; and (iii) whether the assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating (i) the appropriateness of the income and market approaches and (ii) the reasonableness of the projected long-term revenue growth, discount rates, and market EBITDA multiples assumptions.

(1)Significant accounting policies and practices

(a)Nature of operations

Lineage, Inc. was organized in 2017 under Maryland law by an affiliate of Bay Grove Capital, LLC (“Bay Grove Capital”) and operates as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for United States (“U.S.”) federal income tax purposes.

Lineage, Inc. together with its subsidiaries (individually or collectively as the context requires, the “Company”) is a global temperature-controlled warehouse REIT with a modern and strategically located network of temperature-controlled warehouses. The Company offers a broad range of essential warehousing services and integrated solutions for a variety of customers with complex requirements in the food supply chain. The Company's primary business is temperature-controlled warehousing, and the Company owns and operates a majority of its facilities. The Company provides customers with storage space, as well as handling and other warehousing services. The Company may rent to a customer an entire warehouse, a set amount of reserved space in a warehouse for a set term, or non-exclusive space in a warehouse pursuant to a storage agreement. In addition, the Company operates several critical and value-add temperature-controlled business lines within its integrated solutions business, including, among others, transportation and refrigerated rail car leasing. Lineage Logistics Holdings, LLC (“LLH”) is the Company’s principal operating subsidiary. Bay Grove Management Company, LLC (“Bay Grove Management”), an affiliate of Bay Grove Capital, provides LLH operating support pursuant to a transition services agreement. As of December 31, 2025, the majority of the outstanding common shares of the Company were held by BG Lineage Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“BGLH”). The Company is the general partner of Lineage OP, LP, formerly known as Lineage OP, LLC (“Lineage OP” or the “Operating Partnership”) and owns a controlling 90% financial interest in Lineage OP. Lineage OP holds all direct interests in LLH other than certain interests held by BG Maverick, LLC (“BG Maverick”).

On July 26, 2024, the Company closed its initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 56,882,051 shares of its 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 the Company an additional 8,532,307 shares of common stock that closed on July 31, 2024. The net proceeds from the IPO were $4,873 million. In connection with the IPO, the Company effectuated certain changes in its capital structure to facilitate the offering. The impacts of these transactions (the “Formation Transactions”) on the Company’s capital structure are described in Note 2, Capital structure and noncontrolling interests.

On December 18, 2025, the Company filed with the SEC an automatic universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3. This registration allows the Company to issue an indeterminate amount of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, debt securities, and any other depositary shares, warrants, purchase contracts or units. The specifics of any future offering and its respective use of proceeds will be described in detail in a prospectus supplement at the time of such offering.

(b)Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Lineage, Inc. consolidated with the accounts of all subsidiaries and affiliates in which the Company holds a controlling financial interest as of the financial statement date.

The Company consolidates a voting interest entity (“VOE”) in which it has a controlling financial interest and a variable interest entity (“VIE”) if it possesses both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect its economic performance, and (a) is obligated to absorb the losses that could be significant to the VIE or (b) holds the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. As of December 31, 2025, the Company did not have any VIEs.

106

LINEAGE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(c)Use of estimates in preparation of financial statements

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the financial statement date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. The Company bases its estimates on various factors and information which may include, but are not limited to, history and prior experience, expected future results, new related events, and economic conditions, which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from the estimates used in preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(d)Cash and cash equivalents

The Company maintains its cash balances in financial institutions, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk related to cash and cash equivalents. The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents, which includes money market funds.

(e)Restricted cash

The Company has classified certain cash balances as restricted cash pursuant to workers’ compensation insurance policies and debt agreements. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, restricted cash was $1 million and $2 million, respectively, and is presented in Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash in the consolidated balance sheets.

(f)Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and are stated net of estimated allowances for credit losses. Management exercises judgment in establishing these allowances and considers the balance outstanding, payment history, current economic conditions, and other applicable customer-specific factors. The Company writes off receivables against the allowances after all reasonable collection efforts are exhausted. The Company’s allowance for accounts receivable was $10 million as of both December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

(g)Derivatives

The Company enters into derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swaps and caps to manage interest rate exposures. The Company’s derivative instruments include instruments that qualify and instruments that do not qualify for cash flow hedge accounting treatment. To qualify for hedge accounting, the hedging relationship, both at inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, must be expected to be highly effective at offsetting the variability in hedged cash flows attributable to the hedged risk (e.g., a variable interest rate index).

Certain of the Company’s foreign operations expose the Company to fluctuations of exchange rates. These fluctuations may impact the value of the Company’s cash receipts and payments in terms of the Company’s functional currency. The Company enters into foreign currency derivative instruments to manage its exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates between the functional currencies of the Company’s subsidiaries and the currencies of the underlying cash flows.

All derivatives are recognized on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value and are generally reported gross, regardless of netting arrangements. For derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting, on the date the derivative contract is entered into, the Company designates the derivative as a hedge of the variability of cash flows attributable to a designated hedged risk (e.g., interest rate or foreign exchange risk). For derivatives designated as qualifying cash flow hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative and corresponding tax impact is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings and within the same income statement line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item. Gains and losses on hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized over the life of the hedge on a systematic and rational basis and are recorded in the same income statement line item as the hedged item.

107

LINEAGE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Derivatives not designated as accounting hedges are not speculative and are used to manage the Company’s exposure to interest rate movements and other identified risks but do not meet the hedge accounting requirements or the Company has not elected to apply hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in hedging relationships are recorded directly in earnings and presented within Interest expense, net and Gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions, net.

The fair value of the interest rate swaps and caps and foreign currency forward contracts are estimated at an amount the Company would receive or pay to terminate the agreement at the balance sheet date, taking into consideration current interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and creditworthiness of the counterparty.

(h)Inventories

Inventories consist of goods acquired for resale, which are stated at the lower of cost (determined generally on a first in, first out basis) or net realizable value.

(i)Property, plant, and equipment, net

The Company records additions to property, plant, and equipment used in operations at cost, which includes asset additions, improvements, and betterments. With respect to constructed assets, all materials, direct labor, and contract services are capitalized. Normal repairs and maintenance and other costs that do not improve the property, extend the useful life, or otherwise do not meet capitalization criteria are expensed as incurred. The Company capitalizes certain costs related to the development of internal-use software projects. Costs related to preliminary project activities and post-implementation activities are expensed as incurred and certain costs related to the application development stage are capitalized.

The Company depreciates property, plant, and equipment to estimated salvage value primarily using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives. Certain properties subject to failed sale-leaseback financing obligations are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their remaining economic life.

The Company evaluates property, plant, and equipment for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the relevant asset group may not be recoverable or when the assets are held for sale. Upon the occurrence of a triggering event, the Company assesses whether the estimated undiscounted cash flows expected from the use of the asset and the residual value from the ultimate disposal of the asset exceed the carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated recoverable amounts, the Company reduces the carrying value to fair value and records an impairment loss in earnings.

(j)Business combinations

The Company accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires allocation of the fair value of purchase consideration to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. The excess of the fair value of purchase price consideration over the values of these identifiable assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. Transaction costs related to business combinations are recognized as expenses in the period they are incurred and recorded in Acquisition, transaction, and other expense.

When determining the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, management makes significant estimates and assumptions, especially with respect to real estate and intangible assets. Significant estimates used in valuing land and buildings and improvements acquired in a business combination include, but are not limited to, the selection of comparable real estate sales, estimates of indirect costs and entrepreneurial profit, which are added to the replacement cost of the acquired assets in order to estimate their fair market value. Significant estimates used in valuing intangible assets acquired in a business combination include, but are not limited to, revenue growth rates, obsolescence, customer attrition rates, operating costs and margins, capital expenditures, tax rates, long-term growth rates, and discount rates. During the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the date of acquisition, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with a corresponding offset to goodwill if new information is obtained related to facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. After the measurement period, any

108

LINEAGE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

subsequent adjustments are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Refer to Note 4, Business combinations, asset acquisitions, and divestitures for further detail.

(k)Goodwill and other intangible assets

Goodwill is recorded to the extent that the purchase price of an acquisition exceeds the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired and is tested for impairment on an annual basis. Interim testing is performed more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that it is more-likely-than-not that a reporting unit’s fair value is below its carrying value.

The Company evaluates the carrying value of goodwill each year as of October 1, or when events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not indicate an impairment exists, by performing a qualitative assessment of various factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value. If, after assessing the totality of events or circumstances, or based on management’s judgment, the Company determines it is more likely than not the fair value is less than its carrying amount, a quantitative assessment is performed. The quantitative assessment includes estimation of the fair value of each reporting unit, using a combination of discounted cash flow method and the market approach based on market multiples. The estimated fair value is then compared to the reporting unit’s carrying amount. If the carrying amount is greater than the fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess of carrying value over fair value.

All of the Company’s intangible assets included in the consolidated financial statements are definite-lived. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment is recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the intangible asset are less than its carrying amount. When an impairment is identified, the carrying amount of the intangible asset is reduced to its estimated fair value. The Company amortizes intangible assets with definite lives in a pattern that reflects the expected consumption of related economic benefits or on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic lives.

(l)Asset acquisitions

Asset acquisitions involve the acquisition of an asset, or a group of assets, and may also involve the assumption of liabilities associated with an acquisition that does not meet the GAAP definition of a business. Asset acquisitions are accounted for by the Company using a cost accumulation model. Under the cost accumulation model, the cost of the acquisition, including direct transaction costs, is allocated to the assets acquired on the basis of relative fair values. If the Company previously leased the purchased asset, the difference between the right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and ROU liability at the purchase date adjusts the final amount capitalized.

(m)Investments in partially owned entities

The Company accounts for its investments in partially owned entities where the Company does not have a controlling interest but has significant influence using the equity method of accounting, under which the Company’s share of net income (loss) of the entity is recognized in income (loss) and presented in Equity method investments in the consolidated balance sheets. Allocations of profits and losses are made per the terms of the organizational documents.

The Company has interests in partially owned entities where the Company does not have a controlling interest or significant influence. These investments do not have readily determinable fair values, and the Company has elected the measurement alternative to measure these investments at cost less impairment, adjusted by observable price changes, with any fair value changes recognized in earnings. Refer to Note 13, Fair value measurements for additional information. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying amount of these investments was $32 million and $29 million, respectively, and is presented in Other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

(n)Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at contract inception. For all leases where the initial term is greater than twelve months and the Company is the lessee, the Company recognizes as of the lease

109

LINEAGE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

commencement date a liability and a corresponding ROU asset on the consolidated financial statements. Leases with terms of twelve months or less (“short-term leases”) are not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets and the lease payments are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the remaining future minimum lease payments over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which generally relate to taxes and common area maintenance. For all classes of assets, the Company accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for both lessee and lessor leases. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based upon information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of future minimum lease payments. The corresponding lease ROU assets are recognized at an amount equal to the future minimum lease payments, as adjusted for prepayments, incentives, and initial direct costs. Variable lease payments which depend on an index or rate are excluded from the calculation of future minimum lease payments. For leases acquired in a business combination, the lease ROU assets are also adjusted for any off-market (favorable or unfavorable) terms.

The lease term used to calculate the lease liability includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Variable lease payments are recognized in the period in which those payments are incurred.

Operating leases are expensed on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and recorded within Cost of operations or General and administrative expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), depending on the nature of the ROU asset. Finance lease liabilities are amortized using the effective interest method, with the expense recorded in Interest expense, net. In each period, the liability is increased to reflect the interest that is accrued on the related liability, offset by a decrease in the liability resulting from the periodic lease payments. The ROU asset for finance leases is amortized and recorded within Amortization expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

For all leases where the Company is the lessor, the Company evaluates the contract for classification as a sales-type, direct financing, or operating lease. The Company does not have any material sales-type leases. The Company has lessor arrangements with lease and non-lease components. Where the lease is determined to be the predominant component, the Company combines non-lease components that share the same pattern of transfer as the lease component (e.g., common area maintenance, utilities, storage services), and the combined component is accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, Leases. Certain contracts may also include non-lease components that are more variable in nature and do not share the same pattern of transfer as the lease component (e.g., handling and other accessorial service), and these non-lease components are accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. For operating leases, the Company assesses the probability of payment collection at commencement of the lease contract and subsequently recognizes lease income over the lease term on a straight-line basis. Changes in variable payments based on an index or rate are recorded in earnings in the period in which they become effective.

Property, plant, and equipment underlying lessor leases is included in Property, plant, and equipment, net on the consolidated balance sheets. The gross value and net value of these assets was $1,925 million and $1,609 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2025. The gross value and net value of these assets was $1,770 million and $1,493 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2024. Depreciation expense for such assets was $64 million, $66 million and $57 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

(o)Deferred financing costs

Deferred financing costs consist of loan fees and other financing costs related to the Company’s outstanding indebtedness and credit facility commitments and are amortized to interest expense using effective interest method, or on a straight‑line basis over the terms of the related debt or commitment, which approximates effective interest amortization. If a loan is refinanced or paid before its maturity, any unamortized deferred financing costs will generally be expensed unless specific rules are met that would allow for the carryover of such costs to the refinanced debt.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Deferred financing costs related to the Company’s outstanding debt are included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as a contra-liability within Long-term debt, net and deferred financing costs related to the Company’s revolving credit facility are recorded within Other assets (see Note 10, Debt).

(p)Income tax status

The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under Section 856(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2020. As a REIT, the Company is generally not subject to federal income tax if the Company distributes at least 100% of its REIT taxable income as a dividend to its stockholders each year. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year and is unable to obtain relief under certain statutory provisions, it will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for the four subsequent taxable years. Even as a REIT, the Company may also be subject to certain state and local income taxes, franchise taxes, or federal income and excise taxes on undistributed taxable income or on recognized built-in gains. The Company is subject to income taxes for certain U.S. subsidiaries which have elected to be taxed as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). Additionally, the Company has non-U.S. subsidiaries that are subject to income taxes in the foreign jurisdictions in which they operate. As such, a provision for income taxes related to the TRSs and the non-U.S. subsidiaries has been made in the consolidated financial statements, as described below.

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

The Company evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s consolidated financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are “more likely than not” to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. A liability is accrued for tax positions taken on a tax return that are not deemed to meet the “more likely than not” threshold in the year the tax position is taken. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized. The Company has elected an accounting policy to classify interest and penalties, if any, as income tax expense.

Common stock distributions paid by the Company to its stockholders are characterized for U.S. federal income tax purposes as ordinary income, qualified dividend, capital gains, non-taxable returns of capital, or a combination thereof. Common stock distributions that exceed the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits (calculated for tax purposes) constitute a return of capital rather than a dividend and generally reduce the basis that stockholders have in the common stock. During each year, the Company notifies shareholders of the taxability of the common stock distributions paid during the preceding year. The payment of common stock distributions is dependent upon the Company’s financial condition, operating results, and REIT distribution requirements. The composition of the Company’s distributions per common share for each tax year presented is as follows:


	2025		2024		2023
Ordinary income (1)	55	%	—	%	100	%
Capital gain distribution	—	%	—	%	—	%
Return of capital	45	%	100	%	—	%
	100	%	100	%	100	%

(1) Of the 2025 ordinary income, 7% is treated as qualified dividend, and 48% is treated as Section 199A dividend. Of the 2023 ordinary income, 8% is treated as qualified dividend.

(q)Segment reporting

The Company’s business is organized into two reportable segments, which are the same as the Company’s operating segments: Global Warehousing and Global Integrated Solutions. These segments are strategic business groups containing differing service offerings, which are managed separately. The accounting policies used in the preparation of the Company’s reportable segments financial information are the same as those described in this Note.

•Global Warehousing - This segment utilizes the Company's industrial real estate properties to provide temperature-controlled warehousing services to its customers. Revenues in this segment are generated from storage services and related activities, such as handling, case-picking, order assembly, load consolidation, quality control, re-packaging, and other such value-add services. Cost of operations in this segment primarily consists of labor, power, other warehouse costs.

•Global Integrated Solutions - This segment complements Global Warehousing with specialized cold-chain services. Revenues in this segment are generated primarily from transportation fees, and additionally include redistribution services, multi-vendor less-than-full-truckload consolidation, transportation brokerage, drayage services to and from ports, freight forwarding, rail transportation services, sales of prepared food, and e-commerce fulfillment services. Cost of operations in this segment primarily consists of third-party carrier charges, labor, fuel, rail and vehicle maintenance, and purchase of goods for resale.

The Company’s chief executive officer serves in the role of the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). The CODM uses revenues and segment net operating income (“NOI”) to evaluate segment performance. By assessing the profitability of each segment, the CODM gains insights into the relative contribution of each segment to the overall Company results. It also allows the CODM to effectively allocate resources between the segments for optimal utilization of the Company’s resources, as he can analyze trends in segment NOI over time, identify primary drivers, and address any significant areas of concern. Segment NOI is calculated as a segment’s revenues less its cost of operations, excluding any stock-based compensation recorded in Cost of operations. Segment NOI is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

(r)Revenue recognition

The Company has warehousing operations, which includes storage, ancillary services required to prepare and move customers’ pallets into, out of, and around the facilities, managed services, and other contract revenues. The Company receives variable consideration for the services rendered, comprised of per-unit pricing or time and materials pricing. Separate performance obligations arise for storage services, handling, case-picking, order assembly and load consolidation, quality control, re-packaging, government-approved storage and inspection, and other ancillary services. The Company’s performance obligations for these are satisfied over time as customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits of the services. Some customer contracts contain a promise to provide a minimum commitment of warehousing services during a defined period. When the minimum volume commitment is substantive, the minimum commitment amount is deemed fixed consideration to be included in the transaction price. Any variable consideration related to storage renewals or incremental handling charges above stated minimums are allocated to the period in which services are performed. The Company charges its customers “inbound” and “outbound” product handling fees. Deferred revenue represent billings for storage services invoiced in advance and the outbound portion of product handling fees related to customer product inventory on hand as of period end, as the Company has not yet fulfilled the promise to provide such storage and outbound product handling services.

The Company provides managed services, included in the Global Warehousing segment, for which the contract compensation arrangement includes reimbursement of operating costs plus a fixed management fee. The Company also charges customers a revenue share fee, which is a form of variable consideration as a percentage of gross revenue generated from warehouse management. This revenue share is included in the transaction price, and the Company’s practice is to record the revenue share expected to be earned over the service period using historical data. The Company charges the customer for the fixed management fee and the revenue share on a monthly basis and accepts payment according to approved payment terms. The managed services are the only performance obligation in these contracts, and the Company provides the services over the term of the contract. This single performance obligation represents a series

112

LINEAGE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

of distinct services performed during the contract period, as the services provided are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the Company’s customers. Managed services revenues are recognized over time as the services are performed. Such fees and related cost reimbursements are presented on a gross basis, as the Company is the principal in the arrangement.

The Company receives lease revenues as the lessor for certain buildings and warehouses or identified space within a warehouse. Lease revenues are generally fixed over the duration of the contract, though some have variable rate escalators, and often lease contracts contain clauses permitting extension or termination. Lease incentives and options for purchase of the leased asset by the lessee are generally not offered. Lease revenue earned under operating lease agreements is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the leases. Variable lease payments are recognized in the period in which the related expenses are incurred.

The Company provides integrated solutions that include transportation services, which includes full-load transportation, load-to-load consolidation, freight forwarding, and other accessorial services. The Company receives consideration for the services rendered, comprised of per-route pricing by load, pallet, or case. A performance obligation is created when a customer submits a purchase order for the transport of goods and is satisfied upon completion of the delivery. Transportation revenue is recognized proportionally over time as a shipment moves from origin to destination, and related reimbursable costs are recognized as incurred. Payments for billed services are remitted according to approved payment terms.

The Company recognizes lease revenue for its insulated and refrigerated rail cars, which is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease agreement, with immaterial variable lease payments.

The Company has redistribution operations, where it redistributes certain food products under contracts with fixed mark-up fees. The Company receives consideration for the services rendered, comprised of per-pound pricing for the product procured and redistributed and a variable freight rate that represents costs passed on to the customer for amounts incurred to arrange for or transport the product. These operations for redistribution of products are each considered performance obligations to provide such services. A performance obligation is created when a customer submits a purchase order for the purchase of goods. Revenue is recognized at a point in time, when the performance obligation is satisfied, upon delivery of product. Payments for billed services are remitted according to approved payment terms. The customers’ ability to control the pricing, where products can be distributed to, and where products can be purchased from suggest that the Company is not serving as a principal in the arrangement. The Company’s policy is to report revenue from redistribution operations net of the related cost of sales, as the Company is acting as an agent on behalf of its customers.

The Company generates revenues from the sale of frozen foods, where it procures and sells various food product to certain customers. A performance obligation is created when a customer submits a purchase order for the purchase of goods. Revenue is recognized at a point in time, when the performance obligation is satisfied, upon delivery of product.

The Company provides e-commerce fulfillment services, which include storage, packaging, and transportation and delivery to end consumers. A performance obligation is created when a customer submits a purchase order for distribution of their goods to the end consumer. E-commerce revenue is recognized at a point in time, when the performance obligation is satisfied, typically upon shipping of product.

Sales and other consumption taxes the Company collects from customers and remits to government agencies are excluded from revenue.

For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, no individual customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenue.

The difference in timing of revenue recognition, billings, and cash collections results in accounts receivable, unbilled receivables, and deferred revenue balances. Generally, the customer is billed no less frequently than on a monthly basis. However, the Company may bill and receive advances or deposits from customers, particularly on storage and handling services, before revenue is recognized, resulting in deferred revenue. These assets and liabilities are reported on the consolidated balance sheets at the end of each reporting period in Accounts receivable, net and Deferred revenue.

Refer to Note 3, Revenue for additional information.

Refer to Note 18, Stock-based compensation for additional details on each type of equity award granted, including terms and estimation methodologies.

(t)Acquisition, transaction, and other expense

Acquisition, transaction, and other expense includes costs associated with business transactions, whether consummated or not, such as advisory, legal, accounting, valuation, other professional or consulting fees, and integration costs. It also includes costs incurred in preparation for, or as a direct result of, Lineage, Inc. becoming a public company, 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.

(u)Restructuring and impairment expense

Restructuring and impairment expense includes 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. The Company records 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.

(v)Foreign currency

The accounts of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are measured using functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar (“USD”). Revenues and expenses of these subsidiaries are translated into USD at the average exchange rate for the period and assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of the end of the reporting period. Gains or losses from translating the financial statements of these subsidiaries are included in stockholders’ equity as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

(w)Accrued distributions

In order to maintain its qualification as a REIT, Lineage, Inc. must meet certain distribution requirements through a dividend declared to its stockholders. Prior to the IPO, when Lineage, Inc. paid its required dividend to its stockholders, Lineage OP also paid a corresponding pro-rata distribution to all its investors other than Lineage, Inc. (“Non-Company LPs”). Lineage OP was also required by its operating agreement to pay a quarterly distribution to BG Cold, LLC (“BG Cold”). Refer to Note 2, Capital structure and noncontrolling interests for details.

After the IPO, all dividends and distributions to all investors are formally declared, and the Company accrues them as they are declared. Lineage OP is no longer required to pay quarterly distributions to BG Cold.

(x)Commitments and contingencies

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. Refer to Note 20, Commitments and contingencies for additional information.

(2)Capital structure and noncontrolling interests

Lineage, Inc. capital structure

(a)Common Stock

Lineage, Inc. has one class of common stock. Each share of common stock entitles the holder to one vote on matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders. Holders of common stock have the right to receive any dividend declared by the Company.

Lineage, Inc. is authorized to issue up to 500,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.01 per share. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were 226,967,652 and 228,191,656 common shares issued and outstanding, respectively.

The Company repurchased shares of its common stock as authorized by its Board of Directors (“Board”). Any repurchased shares are constructively retired and returned to an unissued status. The following table provides the number of shares repurchased, average price paid per share, and total amount paid for share repurchases. It excludes repurchases related to the withholding of common stock for employee taxes related to vested stock-based compensation arrangements and repurchases related to the settlement of a Put Option.

Operating Partnership capital structure

The Operating Partnership’s capital structure as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was as follows:


	December 31, 2025	December 31, 2024
Partnership common units owned by Lineage, Inc.	226,967,652	228,191,656
Partnership common units owned by Non-Company LPs	698,915	984,089
Legacy Class A OP Units and Legacy Class B OP Units owned by Non-Company LPs	21,029,599	20,929,599
Redeemable Legacy Class A OP Units owned by Non-Company LPs	—	319,006
LTIP Units held by Non-Company LPs (1)	3,667,999	2,995,153
Total	252,364,165	253,419,503

(1) Balance includes 406,238 units granted under the Amended and Restated Lineage 2024 Incentive Award Plan which have vested but have not yet been converted into partnership common units.

Noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership relates to the interest in the Operating Partnership owned by investors other than Lineage, Inc. The Company accounts for the partnership common units, Legacy Class A OP Units, Legacy Class B OP Units (the Legacy Class A OP Units and Legacy Class B OP Units, together the “Legacy OP Units”), and LTIP Units based on their relative ownership percentage of the Operating Partnership. Each time the ownership percentage of the Operating Partnership held by Non-Company LPs and BG Cold changes, the Company records an adjustment to Noncontrolling interests with a corresponding adjustment in Additional paid-in capital - common stock to appropriately reflect the new ownership percentage and to reflect the Non-Company LPs’ and BG Cold’s share of all capital contributed to the Operating Partnership. All activity related to these interests is included within Noncontrolling interests in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of redeemable noncontrolling interests and equity. Prior to the IPO, Class A, Class B, and Class C units held by Non-Company LPs and BG Cold were similarly recorded based on their relative ownership percentages.

(c)Noncontrolling Interest in Operating Partnership - Partnership common units

Partnership common units include all Operating Partnership capital interests not designated as another class of units in the Operating Partnership’s Agreement of Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership Agreement”). In connection with the Formation Transactions, all Class A units previously held by Lineage, Inc. were reclassified into partnership common units. Lineage, Inc. holds all partnership common units with the exception of those held by Non-Company LPs. Partnership common units held by Non-Company LPs represent a noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership and are included in Noncontrolling interests in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of redeemable noncontrolling interests and equity.

Partnership common units have certain redemption rights which enable the holders to cause the Operating Partnership to redeem their partnership common units in exchange for, at the Company’s option, cash per unit equal to the market price of the Company’s common shares at the time of the redemption or for the Company’s common shares on a one-for-one basis. The number of shares issuable upon exercise of the redemption rights will be adjusted upon the occurrence of share splits, mergers, or other share transactions which would have the effect of diluting the ownership interests of the holders of partnership common units. Such redemption rights generally may not be exercised until 14 months after the initial acquisition of the partnership common units, except for partnership common units obtained in exchange for the Legacy Class A OP Units, Legacy Class B OP Units, LTIP Units described below, and OPEUs described below, each of which have different holding periods. The Company may also redeem partnership common units in connection with a tender offer made at the Company’s option.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

During the year ended December 31, 2025, 285,174 partnership common units held by Non-Company LPs, respectively, were exchanged for an equivalent number of shares of Lineage, Inc. common stock. No such units were exchanged during the year ended December 31, 2024.

(d)Noncontrolling Interest in Operating Partnership - Legacy Class A OP Units, Legacy Class B OP Units, Class A, Class B, and Class C units

Prior to the Company’s IPO, Non-Company LPs held certain Class A and Class B units in the Operating Partnership. These units were reclassified into Legacy OP Units as part of certain changes the Company effectuated in its capital structure in connection with the IPO (the “Formation Transactions”). Class A and Class B units were both voting capital interests in the Operating Partnership and were similar to each other in all material respects, except that Class A units held by Non-Company LPs bore a Founders Equity Share (as described below) payable to Class C unit holders, whereas Class B units did not.

BG Cold held all outstanding Class C units of the Operating Partnership. Class C units were reclassified into other interests in the Formation Transactions and their only claim on the underlying assets of the Operating Partnership was the following distributions. Class C units provided BG Cold the right to receive a percentage distribution (“Founders Equity Share”) upon certain distributions made to Non-Company LPs who held Class A units of the Operating Partnership. Class C units also received a distribution upon certain repurchases and redemptions of Class A units of the Operating Partnership held by Non-Company LPs. On a quarterly basis, BG Cold also received an advance distribution (“Advance Distribution”) against its future Founders Equity Share based on a formulaic amount of all capital contributed to the Operating Partnership after August 3, 2020. This Advance Distribution was an advance on the Class C Founders Equity Share to be paid upon the sale, redemption, liquidation of, or other distributions to, Class A units and would offset subsequent Class C unit Founders Equity Share distributions paid in conjunction with a hypothetical sale, redemption, liquidation, or other distribution.

BG Cold received a total of $26 million and $46 million in Advance Distributions during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Advance Distributions were only payable for the period through the date of the IPO.

Legacy OP Units are economically equivalent to partnership common units and hold the same voting rights. BG Lineage Holdings LHR, LLC serves as the representative of all Legacy OP Units (the “LHR”). As representative of the Legacy OP Units, the LHR is empowered to exercise the voting power for all Legacy OP Units. Legacy OP Units are generally not redeemable for cash or other consideration but can be reclassified into an equal number of partnership common units at any time at the discretion of the LHR, which serves as the representative of all Legacy OP Units. All Legacy OP Units must be reclassified into partnership common units prior to the third anniversary of the IPO. Once converted, the partnership common units that are obtained in the conversion of Legacy OP Units are immediately redeemable in exchange for, at the Company’s option, cash per unit equal to the market price of the Company’s common shares at the time of redemption or for the Company’s common shares on a one-for-one basis. Legacy Class A OP Units and Legacy Class B OP Units are similar in all material respects except with regard to the continuation of Founders Equity Share described below.

Each Legacy Class A OP Unit is comprised of two sub-units that are legally separate interests, with one sub-unit referred to as the “A-Piece Sub-Unit” and the other sub-unit referred to as the “C-Piece Sub-Unit.” The A-Piece Sub-Units and the C-Piece Sub-Units exist to continue the calculation of Founders Equity Share due to BG Cold after the reclassification of the pre-existing Class A and Class C units. The holders of the A-Piece Sub-Units and C-Piece Sub-Units will each share in the settlement of Legacy Class A OP Units when they are ultimately reclassified into partnership common units, with the amount of partnership common units received by holders of A-Piece Sub-Units and C-Piece Sub-Units determined based on the calculation of Founders Equity Share described above. Legacy Class B OP Units do not have any sub-units and are not impacted by Founders Equity Share.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

No Legacy OP Units were reclassified into partnership common units during the year ended December 31, 2025. During the year ended December 31, 2024, 984,103 Legacy OP Units were reclassified into partnership common units.

(e)Noncontrolling Interest in Operating Partnership - LTIP Units

The Company grants interests in the Operating Partnership to certain members of management in the form of LTIP Units. LTIP Units are a form of voting interest in the Operating Partnership which may be subject to vesting requirements. Immediately upon the grant of an LTIP Unit, the recipient of the LTIP Unit is admitted into the Operating Partnership as a Non-Company LP. Holders of LTIP Units are entitled to receive distributions from the Operating Partnership as they are declared or in the event of a liquidation of the Operating Partnership on a pari passu basis with holders of other classes of Operating Partnership units, with the exception of certain LTIP Units which, prior to vesting, only receive 10% of any declared distributions. The LTIP Units are also entitled to share in the profits and losses of the Operating Partnership. Both vested and unvested LTIP Units are accounted for as Noncontrolling interests in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of redeemable noncontrolling interests and equity.

Vested LTIP Units may be convertible into partnership common units. LTIP Units are only eligible to be converted into partnership common units if the capital account balance of the LTIP unitholder with respect to such LTIP Units is at least equal to Lineage, Inc.’s capital account balance with respect to an equal number of partnership common units, subject to certain adjustments (“capital account equivalence”). Once the LTIP Units have reached capital account equivalence and become vested, they may be converted into partnership common units on a one-for-one basis. Partnership common units obtained after conversion from the LTIP Units are redeemable in exchange for, at the Company’s option, cash per unit equal to the market price per share of the Company’s common stock at the time of redemption or for shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis, in each case subject to certain adjustments. Partnership common units obtained after conversion from LTIP Units may not be redeemed until the 18 month anniversary of the date that the LTIP Units were originally granted (or such longer period as may be provided in the applicable LTIP Unit award agreement).

(f)Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests - Operating Partnership Units

Certain Operating Partnership units held by Non-Company LPs were redeemable at the greater of a fixed redemption amount or fair value if certain liquidation events did not occur. As of December 31, 2025, all such units have been redeemed. During each reporting period that the units were outstanding, the Company accreted the changes in the redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest over the period of issuance to the earliest redemption date and recorded an adjustment if the accreted redemption value was greater than the ASC 810 carrying value. The Company’s adjustments were recorded to Additional paid-in capital - common stock in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of redeemable noncontrolling interests and equity because the Company was in an accumulated deficit position. These adjustments to equity are not a component of net income (loss), however, they are accounted for in the Company’s calculations of earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) as disclosed in Note 22, Earnings (loss) per share.

In connection with the acquisition of MTC Logistics Holdings, LLC and certain real property (together with its subsidiaries, “MTC Logistics”) in 2022, the Company issued 319,006 Class A Units of the Operating Partnership with special redemption rights to the sellers of MTC Logistics. In connection with the IPO, the units were reclassified into Legacy Class A-4 OP units with similar redemption rights. These redemption rights, which had to be exercised between March 1, 2025 and April 15, 2025, allowed such holders of Legacy Class A-4 OP units to (1) redeem any or all of the Legacy Class A-4 OP units at a guaranteed floor or (2) receive a one-time top-up paid in cash or through the issuance of new Legacy Class A-4 OP units (or any combination of cash and units) in the amount by which the guaranteed minimum value exceeds the fair market value of the Legacy Class A-4 OP units (after adjusting for prior distributions on the Legacy Class A-4 OP units).

Both the Class A units and the Legacy Class A-4 OP units held by the sellers of MTC Logistics before and after the Formation Transactions were accounted for as Redeemable noncontrolling interests in the consolidated

120

LINEAGE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

balance sheets and consolidated statements of redeemable noncontrolling interests and equity due to the put right held by the sellers. The required accretion adjustments related to these units included the impact of Founders Equity Share.

The holder of these units notified the Company of its intent to exercise its redemption rights for 219,006 units in exchange for total cash proceeds of $23 million and waive its redemption rights for the remaining 100,000 units, with a one-time top-up of $5 million paid in cash in relation to these remaining units. The holder’s election became irrevocable on April 15, 2025, upon which the Company repurchased 219,006 units of redeemable noncontrolling interest, paying $28 million to the holder, and reclassified the remaining 100,000 units to noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership.

In connection with the acquisition of Cherry Hill Joliet, LLC, 279 Marquette Drive, LLC, Joliet Cold Storage, LLC, and Bolingbrook Cold Storage, LLC (collectively, “JCS”) in 2021, the Company issued 941,176 Class A units of the Operating Partnership with special redemption rights to the sellers of JCS. These units were accounted for as Redeemable noncontrolling interests in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of redeemable noncontrolling interests and equity due to the put right held by the sellers. On February 1, 2024, one of the holders of these units elected to exercise their redemption rights for 61,593 units in exchange for total proceeds of $6 million. As a result of the partial redemption, BG Cold received a distribution of $1 million in respect of Founders Equity Share. The holders waived their redemption rights for their remaining 879,583 units, and the units remained outstanding, which resulted in a reclassification of the redeemable noncontrolling interest to noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership. The difference between the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest and the ASC 810 carrying value for the remaining noncontrolling interest was recognized in Additional paid-in capital - common stock in the consolidated statements of redeemable noncontrolling interests and equity during the year ended December 31, 2024.

LLH Capital Structure

The Operating Partnership owns substantially all outstanding equity interests of LLH except for those held by BG Maverick. Prior to the IPO and Formation Transactions, LLH MGMT Profits, LLC (“LLH MGMT”) and LLH MGMT Profits II, LLC (“LLH MGMT II”) also held equity interests in LLH. The equity interests held by BG Maverick, LLH MGMT, and LLH MGMT II were accounted for as Noncontrolling interests in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of redeemable noncontrolling interests and equity.

(g)OPEUs and Class D Interests in LLH

Prior to the IPO and Formation Transactions, BG Maverick held all outstanding Class D units in LLH. Class D units in LLH were non-voting profits interests. In respect of these interests, BG Maverick was entitled to receive a formulaic annual amount of income and profits that was payable only in a liquidity event. The Company concluded that the Class D units in LLH held by BG Maverick did not have the substantive risks and rewards of equity ownership of LLH, and therefore did not represent a substantive class of equity in LLH and were not recorded as Noncontrolling interests in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of redeemable noncontrolling interests and equity. As the payment of the distribution in respect of Class D units in LLH was contingent upon the occurrence of a liquidity event that was not considered probable to occur, the Company did not record a liability for the amounts to be paid, in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies. As a result of the IPO and Formation Transactions, the Class D units in LLH held by BG Maverick became payable. The Company recognized an expense of $185 million associated with the Class D interests in LLH during the year ended December 31, 2024. In addition, the previous operating services agreement between LLH and Bay Grove Management was terminated, and Bay Grove Management’s right to receive distributions in respect of Class D units in LLH was suspended in exchange for a one-time increase of $200 million (the “Internalization”). These amounts are included within Acquisition, transaction, and other expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2024.

121

LINEAGE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

A portion of these amounts equal to $198 million was allocated to the Operating Partnership, the effect of which is that all Advance Distributions described above are repaid and the full Founders Equity Share will be paid to holders of C-Piece Sub-Units in connection with any sale, redemption, or liquidation of, or other distributions to, Legacy Class A OP Units. In settlement of the remaining obligations due to BG Maverick in connection with Class D units in LLH and the Internalization, LLH issued 2,447,990 Operating Partnership Equivalent Units (“OPEUs”). OPEUs are a voting capital interest in LLH which are similar in all material respects to the common units of LLH held by the Operating Partnership. At any time beginning after July 24, 2026, any holder of OPEUs may require that the Operating Partnership exchange the OPEUs for partnership common units on a one-for-one basis. Any partnership common units issued in exchange for OPEUs may not be redeemed until after all Legacy OP Units have been reclassified into partnership common units. OPEUs are recorded as Noncontrolling interests in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of redeemable noncontrolling interests and equity based on their relative ownership in LLH.

In connection with the Formation Transactions, LLH repurchased 986,842 OPEUs from BG Maverick in exchange for cash proceeds of $75 million. The excess of this redemption payment over the carrying value of the OPEUs was recognized in Additional paid-in capital in the consolidated statements of redeemable noncontrolling interests and equity for the year ended December 31, 2024.

There were 1,461,148 OPEUs outstanding, which represents 0.6% ownership in LLH, as of both December 31, 2025 and 2024.

(h)Management Profits Interests Class C units

The Company had previously granted interests in LLH MGMT and LLH MGMT II to certain members of management. LLH MGMT and LLH MGMT II held all outstanding Class C units in LLH (“Management Profits Interests Class C units”). Management Profits Interests Class C units entitled LLH MGMT and LLH MGMT II, and, by extension, certain members of management, to a formulaic amount of the profits of LLH, generally based on the growth of the Company’s share price over a certain threshold, subject to certain adjustments.

The Company accounted for Management Profits Interests Class C units held by LLH MGMT and LLH MGMT II based on the total value of all Management Profits Interests Class C units in a hypothetical liquidation of the Company. Under this method, the amounts of income and loss attributed to Management Profits Interests Class C units reflect the change in the amounts LLH MGMT and LLH MGMT II would hypothetically receive at each balance sheet date. This method assumes that the proceeds available for distribution would be equivalent to the equity of the Company. All activity related to Management Profits Interests Class C units is included within Noncontrolling interests in the consolidated statements of redeemable noncontrolling interests and equity.

In connection with the Formation Transactions, vested Management Profits Interests Class C units that had met the required value threshold were exchanged for Legacy Class B OP Units or shares of Company common stock. Unvested Management Profits Interests Class C units were terminated. The Company issued replacement awards for unvested Management Profits Interests Class C unit holders and certain vested Management Profits Interests Class C units that had not met required value thresholds under the 2024 Plan (as defined below) in the form of time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and/or time-based LTIP Units, as further described in Note 18, Stock-based compensation. No Management Profits Interests Class C units remained outstanding as of December 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024. The noncontrolling interest previously recognized related to vested Management Profits Interest Class C units was reclassified into other forms of stockholders’ equity, as applicable, during the year ended December 31, 2024, with the difference between the carrying value of the Management Profits Interest Class C units and the Legacy Class B OP Units and shares of common stock recognized as an adjustment to Additional paid-in capital - common stock.

On certain occasions, the Company offered a repurchase opportunity for certain Management Profits Interests Class C units by offering cash settlement to repurchase units at their current fair market value. Certain Management Profits Interests Class C units were redeemed in exchange for a cash total of $13 million during

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

the year ended December 31, 2023. No such redemptions occurred during the years ended December 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024. In the consolidated statements of redeemable noncontrolling interests and equity, the carrying value of the redeemed units was recorded as a reduction of Noncontrolling interests, while the excess of the redemption payments over the carrying value of the redeemed units was recorded as a reduction of Additional paid-in capital - common stock.

Other Noncontrolling interests

Certain subsidiaries of LLH have also issued equity interests to third parties. All of these equity interests are accounted for as Noncontrolling interests in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of redeemable noncontrolling interests and equity.

(i)Noncontrolling Interests in Other Consolidated Subsidiaries

Noncontrolling interests in Other Consolidated Subsidiaries include entities other than the Operating Partnership in which the Company has a controlling interest but which are not wholly owned by the Company. Third parties own the following interests in the below Other Consolidated Subsidiaries:


	December 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
Cool Port Oakland Holdings, LLC	13.3	%	13.3	%
Lineage Jiuheng Logistics (HK) Group Company Ltd.	40.0	%	40.0	%
Kloosterboer BLG Coldstore GmbH (1)	49.0	%	49.0	%
Turvo India Pvt. Ltd.	1.0	%	1.0	%

(1) The Company and its joint venture partner agreed to wind down this entity over approximately the next year, which is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In addition to the third-party interests detailed above, Noncontrolling interests in Other Consolidated Subsidiaries also include Series A Preferred shares issued by each of the Company’s REIT subsidiaries to third-party investors. Each REIT subsidiary has issued Series A Preferred shares, which are non-voting shares that have a $1,000 liquidation preference and a cumulative 12.0% per annum dividend preference. The REIT subsidiary Series A Preferred shares may be redeemed at the Company’s option for consideration equal to $1,000 plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to and including the date fixed for redemption and are not convertible or exchangeable for any other property or securities of the Company.

On January 12, 2023, Lineage Logistics CC Holdings, LLC issued 123 preferred shares in order to become a REIT subsidiary. The Company’s REIT subsidiaries had an aggregate amount of 373 Series A Preferred shares held by third parties outstanding as of both December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

(j)Convertible Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests - Kloosterboer Preference Shares

In 2021, the Company issued non-voting preferred equity instruments (“Preference Shares”) to the seller (the “Co-Investor”) in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Kloosterboer Group B.V. and its subsidiaries (“Kloosterboer”). As of both December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, there were 2,214,553 Preference Shares outstanding. Upon completion of the IPO, the Preference Shares were reclassified in the consolidated balance sheets from Redeemable noncontrolling interests to Other long-term liabilities based on the fair value of the liability at the time of reclassification. See Note 17, Other long-term liabilities for their carrying value. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded net redeemable noncontrolling interest adjustments, representing the effect of foreign currency on the carrying amount and accrued dividends payable. A portion of the net redeemable noncontrolling interest adjustments during the year ended December 31, 2024 represent the adjustments for the period prior to the IPO.

(k)Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests - Operating Subsidiaries

In August 2023, the Company acquired a 75.0% ownership in Ha Noi Steel Pipe Joint Stock Company (“SK Logistics”). On each of September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2026, the noncontrolling shareholders have the right to sell the remaining 25.0% of SK Logistics to the Company at a formulaic price based on certain financial metrics of SK Logistics in the preceding calendar year. This right expires, if not exercised, on September 30, 2026. In November 2025, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase the noncontrolling shareholders’ shares in SK Logistics. The agreement is expected to close in 2026, subject to regulatory approvals. Until then, the noncontrolling shareholders’ interest remains redeemable.

The noncontrolling shareholders’ interests in SK Logistics are presented within Redeemable noncontrolling interests in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of redeemable noncontrolling interests and equity. The Company accretes the changes in the redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests over the period of issuance to the earliest redemption date and, if necessary, records an adjustment to the redeemable noncontrolling interests. The Company’s adjustments are recorded to Additional paid-in capital - common stock in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of redeemable noncontrolling interests and equity. In accordance with ASC 810, the value is adjusted to reflect the lower of the redemption value or the ASC 810 value, which represents the floor. During the year ended December 31, 2025, previously recorded accretion of $4 million was reversed to reflect a decline in redemption value to its ASC 810 value.

Below is a summary of all activity for the Company’s redeemable noncontrolling interests during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, which are discussed in further detail above.

Dividends and Distributions

The following table summarizes dividends declared to common stockholders during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.


Quarter Ended	Record Date	Payment Date	Dividend per Common Share		Dividend Payment (in millions)
September 30, 2024 (1)	September 30, 2024	October 21, 2024	$	0.38	$	87
December 31, 2024	December 31, 2024	January 21, 2025	$	0.5275	$	120

December 31, 2025	December 31, 2025	January 21, 2026	$	0.5275	$	120

(1) The dividend is prorated for the period commencing on July 26, 2024, the date the Company’s initial public offering was consummated, and ending on September 30, 2024.

Concurrently with the declaration of the dividend on common stock, Lineage, Inc., as general partner of the Operating Partnership, authorized the Operating Partnership to make distributions to the holders of partnership common units, Legacy OP Units, and LTIP Units. The Operating Partnership also makes tax payments on behalf of its partners, which constitute additional insignificant distributions. The Operating Partnership, as managing member of LLH, authorized LLH to make distributions to the Operating Partnership and to the holders of OPEUs. Additionally, RSUs accrue dividend equivalents as the Company declares dividends on its common stock, and upon the vesting of the RSUs, the plan participant receives the dividend payment.

In the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, all unpaid dividend and distribution amounts which will be paid within one year are included in Accrued dividends and distributions, and all unpaid dividend and distribution amounts which will be paid in more than one year are included within Other long-term liabilities. The only amounts which will be payable in more than one year are those payable with respect to dividend equivalents for RSUs which vest in more than one year.

Put Options

In connection with the Formation Transactions, the Company executed a put option agreement, which provided special redemption rights and top-up rights, each as defined below, that mirrored the rights of certain classes of BGLH equity interests (the “Put Options”). Pursuant to the Put Options, BGLH had the right to either:

–Distribute, in various installments from September 2024 through December 2025 (the “Put Option Exercise Window”) up to 2,036,738 shares of the Company’s common stock held by BGLH to certain holders of BGLH equity interests, and these holders then have the individual right to cause the Company to purchase any or all of these shares for an amount equal to a contractual guaranteed minimum price or, in some cases, if greater, the then-current fair market value of the shares of the Company’s common stock as of a specified date.

–In some cases, demand a top-up through a cash payment or through the issuance of additional shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for no proceeds, or any combination thereof, in an amount equal to the amount by which the contractual guaranteed minimum price exceeds the then current fair market value of shares of the Company’s common stock at specified times during the Put Option Exercise Window.

The Company assessed the Put Options as freestanding financial instruments which were classified as liabilities under ASC 480, because the Put Options represented written put options on the Company’s common stock which could be net cash settled or net share settled. Upon the execution of the put option agreement, the Company recorded liabilities for the Put Options based on fair value, with an offsetting charge to Retained earnings (accumulated deficit) in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of redeemable noncontrolling interests and equity during the year ended

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2024. The associated liabilities were recorded in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company calculated the fair value of the Put Options utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the ultimate Company obligation during the Put Option Exercise Window. For each simulated path, the market price of the shares of the Company’s common stock relative to the contractual guaranteed minimum price was estimated during the Put Option Exercise Window, which determined the Company’s obligation under each Put Option. The fair value of the Put Options was the average discounted obligation across all simulation paths. The Company remeasured this liability at fair value on a recurring basis until settlement, and adjustments to the fair value were recorded within Acquisition, transaction, and other expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The following table includes a rollforward of the Put Options classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

In connection with these settlements, the top-up payments and the excess of the repurchase proceeds over the fair market value of the Company’s common shares were recorded as a reduction of the Put Option liability included within Accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Company has no material warranties or obligations for allowances, refunds, or other similar obligations. As a practical expedient, the Company does not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component, as the period between the transfer of service to the customer and the receipt of customer payment is less than a year.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had $1,517 million of remaining unsatisfied performance obligations from contracts with customers subject to a non-cancellable term and within contracts that have an original expected duration exceeding one year. These obligations also do not include variable consideration beyond the non-cancellable term, which is fully constrained because the amount cannot be reasonably estimated. The Company expects to recognize 20.8% of these remaining performance obligations as revenue over the next 12 months and the remaining 79.2% to be recognized over a weighted average period of 9.4 years through 2043.

Accounts receivable balances related to contracts with customers were $785 million and $719 million as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Deferred revenue balances related to contracts with customers were $80 million and $81 million as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Substantially all revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of 2025 and 2024 has been recognized as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and represents revenue from the satisfaction of storage and handling services billed in advance.

Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis as of October 1 consisting of a qualitative assessment on all reporting units considering factors such as market conditions, valuations of recent business combinations of the Company, and internal forecasts. Interim testing is performed if events or circumstances indicate that it is more‑likely‑than‑not that a reporting unit’s fair value is below its carrying amount.

2025 Impairment Testing (Interim and Annual)

In 2025, the Company identified a triggering event during the third quarter due to the sale of Spain Transportation (see Note 4, Business combinations, asset acquisitions, and divestitures). The Company determined that the impacted reporting unit more likely than not had a fair value below its carrying value. Accordingly, the Company performed an interim quantitative goodwill impairment test for the affected reporting unit within the Global Integrated Solutions segment.

Separately, in connection with the annual goodwill impairment test performed as of October 1, 2025, after considering an increase in the risk free interest rate and overall market decline, the Company determined that a quantitative assessment was required for a reporting unit within the Global Warehousing segment with a low percentage by which the fair value exceeded carrying value based on its last assessment, which made it more susceptible to the impact of these adverse changes, as it more likely than not had a fair value below its carrying value.

For both the interim and annual quantitative assessments, fair value was estimated using an equally weighted income and market approach, specifically, the discounted cash flow method and the guideline public company method. The Company utilized third-party valuation specialists and used industry accepted valuation models in calculating each reporting unit’s fair value estimate. These analyses required significant judgments regarding projected long‑term revenue growth, EBITDA (defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) margins, capital requirements, and discount rates, all of which represent Level 3 unobservable inputs in the fair value hierarchy. Other inputs included market EBITDA multiples, which are based on publicly available data of similar companies. Significant increases or decreases in these projections, which have a net impact on the estimated cash flows, would have resulted in significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.

136

LINEAGE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Based on the results of the quantitative assessments, the Company recorded goodwill impairments of $28 million in the third quarter of 2025 and $20 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, which are presented in Goodwill impairment on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The remaining carrying values of goodwill for the reporting unit within the Global Integrated Solutions segment and the reporting unit within the Global Warehousing segment were $130 million and $1,257 million, respectively, as of the dates of their assessments.

2024 Annual Impairment Testing

In connection with the annual goodwill impairment test performed as of October 1, 2024, the Company determined that a further quantitative assessment was required on two reporting units after considering internal forecasts and the customer relationships intangible asset impairments discussed below. Fair value for these reporting units was estimated using the same income and market approaches and Level 3 inputs described above. The quantitative assessments indicated that the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount, and therefore no goodwill impairments were recognized for the year ended December 31, 2024.

During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company reviewed its intangible assets for qualitative indicators of impairment, noting two customer relationships assets in the Global Integrated Solutions segment which had higher customer attrition than previously expected, resulting in lower cash flow projections. After performing an undiscounted cash flow analysis, these assets were determined to be impaired. Fair values were then estimated using an income approach, specifically the discounted cash flow analysis, resulting in an impairment loss of $63 million.

During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $7 million on its other intangible assets based on a change in the Company’s plans to use the asset.

The net deferred tax liability above is presented in the consolidated balance sheets as follows:


(in millions)	December 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
Net deferred tax assets included within other assets	$	46	$	49
Net deferred tax liabilities included within deferred income tax liability	(303)		(304)
Total net deferred tax liabilities	$	(257)	$	(255)

As of December 31, 2025, there were operating loss carryforwards of $629 million related to U.S., state, and foreign net operating losses, of which $363 million do not expire and the remaining expire, if not utilized, from 2026 to 2045. There were also total tax credits of $10 million which expire, if not utilized, from 2026 to 2045.

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more-likely-than-not that some portion of or all the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities (including the impact of available carryback and carryforward periods), projected future taxable income, and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more-likely-than-not that the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences, net of the existing valuation allowances on December 31, 2025 and 2024. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced. It is reasonably possible that Company’s valuation allowance positions may change within the next twelve months, and any related changes would be recorded in the period such a determination is made.

The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $49 million and $42 million, respectively. The change in valuation allowance was primarily related to certain U.S., Germany, and Australia deferred tax assets that changed as a result of current year activity. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company released a valuation allowance established on deferred tax assets attributable to existing net operating losses carryforwards and tax credits in the U.S., resulting in an income tax benefit of $24 million, recorded in Deferred income tax liability on the consolidated balance sheets. The release of the valuation allowance was due to the Company’s internal restructurings.

Uncertain tax positions

The beginning and ending balances of the Company’s uncertain tax positions are reconciled below for the years ended December 31:


(in millions)	2025		2024		2023
Total uncertain tax positions as of January 1	$	11	$	9	$	18

Increases related to positions taken in prior years	—		—		1

Current year releases	(1)		(2)		(10)

Total uncertain tax positions as of December 31	$	11	$	11	$	9

The Company’s policy regarding interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions is to record interest and penalties as an element of income tax expense. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had liabilities of $4 million and $3 million, respectively, of potential interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company recognized interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions through Income tax expense (benefit) of $1 million, $1 million, and $2 million, respectively.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Uncertain tax positions of $8 million as of December 31, 2025, if subsequently recognized, will affect the Company’s effective tax rate favorably at the time when such a benefit is recognized.

Other income tax updates

The 2015 through 2025 tax years generally remain open to examination by U.S. federal, state, and foreign tax authorities.

The Company has analyzed its global cash requirements as of December 31, 2025 and has recorded a $1 million deferred tax liability related to foreign income and withholding tax that will be incurred with respect to the undistributed foreign earnings which are not permanently reinvested.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) has issued Pillar Two Model Rules introducing a new global minimum tax of 15% effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2024. While the U.S. has not yet adopted the Pillar Two rules, various other governments around the world are enacting legislation. The Company has consolidated revenue of more than €750 million per annum and therefore is in scope of the Pillar Two rules which entail tax compliance obligations and can potentially lead to additional taxes where the effective tax rate in a jurisdiction is below 15%. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of proposed and enacted legislative changes as new guidance becomes available.

Income taxes paid

The Company adopted ASU 2023-09 for the year ended December 31, 2025 on a prospective basis. The following is a supplemental schedule of cash paid for income taxes, net of refunds for the year ended December 31, 2025:

Tax reform

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 was signed into U.S. law, which includes a broad range of tax reforms, including those that affect the taxation of REITs and their investors. Most notably, for years beginning on or after January 1, 2026, the new law relaxed the REIT asset test requirement with respect to taxable REIT subsidiaries, providing that not more than 25% of the gross value of a REIT’s assets may be represented by securities of one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries, as compared to the previous 20% rule. It also permanently extended the section 199A pass-through qualified business income deduction, allowing certain individuals, trusts, and estates to deduct 20% of qualifying REIT dividends. No significant impact of this new law on the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 has been noted. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact on the consolidated financial statements as certain provisions come into effect or more information becomes available.

(a)Unsecured Credit Facilities

i.Credit Agreement - Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan A

Originally entered into on December 22, 2020, and subsequently amended, the Company has an unsecured revolving credit and term loan agreement (collectively, the “Credit Agreement”) consisting of a multi-currency revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility” or “RCF”) and a USD denominated term loan (the “Term Loan A” or “TLA”) with various lenders. Effective June 28, 2022, the Company amended and restated the Credit Agreement, increasing the availability under the Revolving Credit Facility to a total capacity of $2,625 million and increasing the Term Loan A commitment to $1,875 million.

Effective February 15, 2024, the Company amended and restated the Credit Agreement increasing the Company’s borrowing capacity under the existing Revolving Credit Facility to $3,500 million and decreasing the total commitment under the Term Loan A to $1,000 million. This pay down of $875 million on the Term Loan A was completed using funds available on the Revolving Credit Facility. Additionally, the amendment gave the Company the right to increase the size of the existing Term Loan A, add one or more incremental term loans, and/or increase commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, up to $500 million, which would increase the total aggregate commitment amount of the existing Credit Agreement to $5,000 million. This amendment also extended the maturity dates for the Revolving Credit Facility to February 15, 2028 and Term Loan A to February 15, 2029. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Revolving Credit Facility may be extended through two six-month extension options that can be exercised if certain conditions are met.

In connection with the February 2024 refinancing of the Credit Agreement, the Company incurred total fees and expenses of $34 million, of which $31 million was capitalized as deferred financing costs, $2 million was recognized as an immediate loss on extinguishment of debt, and $1 million was recognized in General and administrative expense as third-party costs related to a debt modification. Of the capitalized $31 million in deferred financing costs, $26 million related to the Revolving Credit Facility and $5 million related to the Term Loan A, which are presented in Other assets and Long-term debt, net, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognized an additional $5 million in loss on extinguishment of debt related to unamortized deferred financing costs for the portions of the Credit Agreement determined to be extinguished.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest based on the Company’s elected borrowing type and borrowing currency. The contractual interest rate is equal to the applicable variable reference rate plus the margin rate. The applicable margin rate is based on the Company’s Total Leverage Ratio and the loan borrowing type. The applicable margin for Term Benchmark and Risk-Free Reference (“RFR”) loans ranges

144

LINEAGE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

from 1.60% to 2.20% and Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”) loans range from 0.60% to 1.20%. Interest payments on the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan A are due quarterly and monthly, respectively.

On July 30, 2024, Moody’s Ratings assigned a first-time Baa2 issuer rating to the Company, with a stable outlook. On August 6, 2024, Fitch Ratings assigned a first-time BBB+ issuer rating to the Company, with a stable outlook. These assigned ratings qualified as an investment grade rating event under the terms of the Credit Agreement and allowed the Company to elect the contractual interest rate margin to be based on the Company’s debt rating instead of the total leverage ratio. Upon receipt of the Fitch Rating, the TLA interest rate was reduced to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 0.10% (or “Adjusted SOFR”) + 0.93%, and the RCF interest rate was reduced to Adjusted SOFR + 0.78% and a 0.15% commitment fee applied to the total RCF capacity.

Effective November 26, 2025, the Company amended the Credit Agreement to remove the additional 0.10% margin which was added to SOFR to arrive at Adjusted SOFR for USD borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan A. The amendment also removed an additional 0.29547% margin which was added to the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (“CORRA”) to arrive at Adjusted Term CORRA for CAD-denominated borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. Effective November 26, 2025, USD-denominated and CAD-denominated borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest at SOFR and CORRA, respectively.

The following table provides the details of the Credit Agreement:

ii.Delayed-draw term loan facility

On February 15, 2024, the Company entered into an unsecured delayed-draw term loan facility (“DDTL”) with a borrowing capacity of up to $2,400 million. On April 9, 2024, the Company drew $2,400 million under the

145

LINEAGE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

DDTL and used the proceeds to pay off the remaining outstanding adjustable rate multi-property loan CMBS 4 (“CMBS 4”). In connection with the execution of the DDTL, the Company incurred and capitalized fees and expenses of $9 million as deferred financing costs.

On July 26, 2024, the Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the IPO to repay in full the remaining outstanding DDTL principal balance of $2,400 million, along with $7 million in accrued interest and fees. Additionally, the Company recorded a $6 million loss on extinguishment of debt related to the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs previously capitalized for the DDTL.

(b)Senior Unsecured Notes

On August 20, 2021, and on August 15, 2022, the Company issued a series of fixed-rate guaranteed, senior unsecured notes with various maturities pursuant to a private placement financing (“Senior Unsecured Notes”). Interest on these notes is due semi-annually in August and February.

The table below summarizes the balances and terms of the Senior Unsecured Notes:

Total Senior Unsecured Notes				$	1,774	$	1,665

On September 19, 2024, the Company amended all of its outstanding Senior Unsecured Notes. The amendment involved the removal of select note guarantors and the addition of new ones, including Lineage, Inc. As a result of the amendment, $1 million in lender financing fees were incurred and capitalized. Aside from these changes in note holders, there were no significant changes to the total loan amounts, terms, or conditions of the Senior Unsecured Notes.

Some of the Senior Unsecured Notes are set to mature in August 2026 and continue to be presented in Long-term debt, net in the consolidated balance sheets, as the Company has the intent and ability to refinance the obligation on a long-term basis prior to its maturity using the RCF capacity.

(c)New Senior Unsecured Notes

In 2025, the Company issued senior notes fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Lineage, Inc., the Operating Partnership, Lineage Europe Finco B.V., Lineage Logistics Holdings, LLC, and certain other subsidiaries of the Company that guarantee or are otherwise obligated in respect of the Credit Agreement (other than the issuing subsidiary

(1) Includes $807 million of debt classified as long-term on the consolidated balance sheets, as the Company has the intent and ability to refinance the obligation on a long-term basis prior to its maturity using the RCF capacity.

(11)Derivative instruments and hedging activities

(a)Risk management objective of using derivatives

The Company manages certain economic risks, including interest rate, foreign currency, liquidity, and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its assets and liabilities and with the use of derivative financial instruments.

(b)Cash flow hedges of interest rate and foreign currency risk

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to manage its exposure to interest rate movements and to mitigate the potential volatility to interest expense. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps and caps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Interest rate caps involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty if interest rates rise above the strike rate on the contract in exchange for a premium.

In addition, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future cash amounts due to changes in foreign currency rates. The impacts of these foreign currency derivative instruments on the consolidated financial statements of the Company are insignificant.

In conjunction with the pricing of the 4.125% Notes offering that closed on November 26, 2025, and with the intention of using the proceeds to partially paydown the existing RCF balance below the total notional hedged by its existing interest rate caps, the Company determined that the forecasted debt payment transactions scheduled through January 9, 2026 were no longer probable of occurring. The Company fully de-designated an interest rate cap with a notional value of $750 million, which was previously accounted for as a cash flow hedge. In addition, on December 1, 2025, the Company terminated an interest rate cap with a notional amount of $375 million to eliminate the economic overhedge. As both of the interest rate caps were scheduled to mature on January 9, 2026, the amount previously recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) related to the hedged cash flows was immaterial and was reclassified to earnings during the year ended December 31, 2025. The $750 million de-designated interest rate cap continued to be carried at an immaterial fair value on the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and matured on January 9, 2026.

The table below presents the effect of the Company’s interest rate derivatives that are designated as hedging instruments in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) (in millions). Gain (loss) reclassified from AOCI into earnings for interest rate contracts is presented in Interest expense, net.


Interest Rate Derivatives in Cash Flow Hedging Relationships	Amount of Gain (Loss) Recognized in OCI on Derivatives						Amount of Gain (Loss) Reclassified from AOCI into Earnings
	Year Ended December 31,						Year Ended December 31,

The estimated net amount of existing gains (losses) that are reported in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of December 31, 2025 that is expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months is $3 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company executed two interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $500 million and a maturity date of February 15, 2028. The swaps have fixed interest rates of 3.10% and 3.11%. The Company has designated these swaps as an effective cash flow hedge of the variable-rate exposure arising from the portion of the Term Loan A equal to the notional balance.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company executed three forward-starting interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $750 million. The swaps have an effective date of January 9, 2026 and a maturity date of February 15, 2028. The swaps have fixed interest rates ranging from 3.19% to 3.20%. The Company has designated these swaps as an effective cash flow hedge of the variable-rate exposure arising from the portion of the Revolving Credit Facility equal to the notional balance.

No such expense was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2023 (see Note 2, Capital structure and noncontrolling interests).

(13)Fair value measurements

As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying amount of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities, were representative of their fair values due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. Certain non-financial assets such as property, plant and equipment, operating right-of-use assets, equity method investments, goodwill, and other intangible assets are subject to nonrecurring fair value measurements if they are deemed to be impaired. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company performed an impairment analysis of goodwill for two of its reporting units, which required a fair value measurement and resulted in an impairment. See Note 6, Goodwill and other intangible assets, net for more information.

The hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value is as follows:

Level 1 – Inputs represent unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities exchanged in active markets.

Level 2 – Inputs include directly or indirectly observable inputs (other than Level 1 inputs), such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities exchanged in active or inactive markets, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities exchanged in inactive markets, other inputs that may be considered in fair value determinations of these assets or liabilities, such as interest rates and yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks, and default rates, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. Pricing evaluations generally reflect discounted expected future cash flows, which incorporate yield curves for instruments with similar characteristics, such as credit ratings, estimated durations, and yields for other instruments of the issuer or entities in the same industry sector.

151

LINEAGE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Level 3 – Inputs include unobservable inputs used in the measurement of assets and liabilities. Management is required to use its own assumptions regarding unobservable inputs because there is little, if any, market activity in the assets or liabilities and it may be unable to corroborate the related observable inputs. Unobservable inputs require management to make certain projections and assumptions about the information that would be used by market participants in valuing assets or liabilities.

The following table presents the fair value hierarchy levels of the Company’s assets and liabilities at fair value:


(in millions)	Fair Value Hierarchy	December 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
Measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
Non-qualified deferred compensation plan assets (1)	Level 1	$	7	$	4
Non-qualified deferred compensation plan liabilities (1)	Level 1	$	7	$	4
Interest rate derivative financial instrument assets	Level 2	$	3	$	69



Acquisition related contingent consideration	Level 3	$	14	$	13

Put options - not exercised (2)	Level 3	$	—	$	107

Measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis:

Other investments (included in Other assets) (3)	Level 3	$	26	$	18

Disclosed at fair value:
5.25% Notes (4)	Level 2	$	505	$	—
Long-term debt, excluding 5.25% Notes (4)	Level 3	$	5,567	$	4,868
Kloosterboer Preference Shares (5)	Level 3	$	279	$	259

(1) For more details, refer to Note 16, Employee benefit plans.
(2) For more details, refer to Note 2, Capital structure and noncontrolling interests.
(3) The investments in equity securities carried at fair value are subject to transfer restrictions and generally cannot be sold without consent.
(4) The carrying value of long-term debt is disclosed in Note 10, Debt.
(5) The carrying value of Kloosterboer Preference Shares is disclosed in Note 17, Other long-term liabilities.

In accordance with GAAP, the Company has elected to remeasure investments without readily determinable fair values only when an observable transaction occurs for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company recorded non-recurring fair value adjustments of $1 million, $3 million, and less than $1 million, respectively, within Other nonoperating income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) related to certain other investments without readily determinable fair values.

The Company’s long-term debt is reported at the aggregate principal amount less unamortized deferred financing costs and any above or below market adjustments (as required in purchase accounting) in the consolidated balance sheets. For instruments with no prepayment option, the fair value is estimated utilizing a discounted cash flow model where the contractual cash flows (i.e., coupon and principal repayments) were discounted at a risk-adjusted yield reflective of both the time value of money and the credit risk inherent in each instrument. For instruments that include a prior-to-maturity prepayment option, the fair value is estimated using a Black-Derman-Toy lattice model. The inputs used to estimate the fair value of the Company’s debt instruments, excluding the 5.25% Notes, are comprised of Level 2 inputs, including risk-free interest rates, credit ratings, and financial metrics for comparable publicly listed companies, and Level 3 inputs, such as risk-adjusted credit spreads based on adjusted yields implied at issuance, and yield volatility (used for instruments with a prepayment option). For the 5.25% Notes, the estimated fair value is determined based on quoted market prices in markets with low trading volumes, which is considered to be Level 2 inputs.

(15)Failed sale-leaseback financing obligations

The Company’s outstanding obligations for failed sale-leasebacks of real estate-related long-lived assets were as follows:


(in millions)	Implicit Interest Rate	Maturity	December 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
Arras	0.15%	December 2035	$	21	$	20

Less: Current portion of failed sale-leaseback financing obligations			(6)		(6)
Failed sale-leaseback financing obligations, net			$	65	$	62

Certain sale-leaseback transactions assumed in prior acquisitions did not qualify for sale accounting under U.S. GAAP and are accounted for as financing arrangements. Accordingly, the related assets are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets within Property, plant, and equipment, net, with a corresponding failed sale-leaseback financing obligation included within Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and Other long-term liabilities. The arrangements include early purchase options that can be exercised by the Company prior to maturity. The financing obligations are reduced by quarterly payments and are treated as financing outflows, and the interest component is treated as an operating cash outflow.

As of December 31, 2025, the future principal payments for the failed sale-leaseback financing obligations are as follows (in millions):


Year ending December 31:
2026	$	6

(16)Employee benefit plans

(a)Multi-employer pension plans

The Company participates in various multi‑employer pension plans, which provide defined benefits to the Company’s covered U.S. union employees. A unique characteristic of a multi-employer plan compared to a single employer plan is that all plan assets are available to pay benefits of any plan participant. Separate asset accounts are not maintained for participating employers. This means that assets contributed by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers. The Company’s funding policy is to contribute monthly the amount specified by the plans’ trustees. The Company contributed immaterial amounts to these plans during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023. There have been no significant changes that affect comparability of 2025, 2024, and 2023 contributions.

The Company’s contributions to these plans represent less than 5.0% of the total contributions made to the plans from all participating employers.

LINEAGE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(b)Salary‑savings profit‑sharing plans

Under the Company’s Salary-Savings Profit-Sharing Plan (“Savings Plan”), participants may contribute a percentage of their annual gross wages to the Savings Plan, and the Company contributes matching amounts based on participant contributions. Total Company cash contributions to these plans were $45 million, $41 million, and $37 million during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.

(c)Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan

On November 1, 2022, the Company adopted a non-qualified deferred compensation plan (the “NQDC Plan”). Under the provisions of the NQDC Plan, certain senior management employees are eligible to defer payout of a portion of their annual base salary or annual bonus (if one is paid). The NQDC Plan was effective for compensation beginning on January 1, 2023.

The Company invests the compensation deferred by NQDC Plan participants into mutual fund investments and records a corresponding liability. The mutual fund investments are included within Other assets, and the corresponding liability is included in Other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The investments’ fair value is based on unadjusted quoted market prices for the respective funds in active markets, which represents Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. As of December 31, 2025, the balance of the mutual fund investments and the corresponding liability was $7 million and $7 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, the balance of the mutual fund investments and the corresponding liability was $4 million and $4 million, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Company recorded deferred compensation expense related to the NQDC Plan of $3 million, $3 million, and $1 million, respectively. Changes in the fair value of the mutual fund investments and the corresponding change in the associated liability are included within Other nonoperating income (expense), net and General and administrative expense, respectively, in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). These changes did not result in any material net impact to the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Kloosterboer Preference Shares

As discussed in Note 2, Capital structure and noncontrolling interests, upon the completion of the IPO, the Preference Shares became mandatorily redeemable financial instruments and were reclassified to Other long-term liabilities. On October 1, 2026, all outstanding Preference Shares, including all unpaid accrued preferential dividends, shall be mandatorily redeemed in exchange for cash or a variable number of shares of the Company’s common stock. To the extent the Co-Investor elects to receive shares of the Company’s common stock, the number of shares would be based on the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock on the business day immediately prior to the redemption date. The maximum economic payout in order to redeem the Kloosterboer Preference Shares would be €260 million, including all unpaid accrued preferential dividends.

The Company’s initial recording of the Kloosterboer Preference Shares liability was at a fair value of $251 million. The initial fair value was determined utilizing a Black-Derman-Toy lattice model, which takes into consideration the Co-Investor’s annual early redemption options and a credit-adjusted discount rate. The difference of $22 million between the

then carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest and the fair value upon reclassification was recorded as an adjustment to Additional paid-in capital - common stock in the consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of redeemable noncontrolling interests and equity for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Subsequent to the reclassification, the liability is being accreted up to the October 1, 2026 redemption value using an effective interest method. As of December 31, 2025, the liability of $294 million was reclassified from Other long-term liabilities to Accounts payable and accrued liabilities due to the short-term expected redemption. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized $14 million and $5 million, respectively, of related expense within Interest expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

(18)Stock-based compensation

Amended and Restated Lineage 2024 Incentive Award Plan

The Lineage 2024 Incentive Award Plan (“Pre-IPO Incentive Award Plan”) was adopted by the Company in April 2024. In July 2024, the Pre-IPO Incentive Award Plan was amended and restated, creating the Amended and Restated Lineage 2024 Incentive Award Plan (the “2024 Plan”). The 2024 Plan is administered by certain committees of the Board (the “Plan Administrator”) and provides for the award of RSUs, performance share awards, LTIP Units, stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock payments, dividend equivalents, and other incentive awards, each as defined in the 2024 Plan, to eligible employees, consultants, and members of the Board (collectively, “Plan participants”). The Pre-IPO Incentive Award Plan provided for the same types of awards as the 2024 Plan.

The maximum number of shares of common stock which could be issued under the Pre-IPO Incentive Award Plan was 1,000,000, which increased to 12,500,000 under the 2024 Plan. The maximum amount of shares that may be issued under the 2024 Plan is subject to an annual increase on the first day of each calendar year beginning January 1, 2025 and ending on and including January 1, 2034. The annual increase is equal to 1% of the sum of (i) the aggregate outstanding number of shares of Lineage, Inc. common stock, (ii) the aggregate number of partnership common units (other than partnership common units that are held by the Company and other than any partnership common units resulting from the conversion of LTIP Units), (iii) the aggregate number of OPEUs, and (iv) the aggregate number of Legacy OP Units, in each case, outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding calendar year, or any smaller number of shares as determined by the Board. Each LTIP Unit counts as one share of common stock for the purpose of calculating the aggregate number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2024 Plan.

(2) Time-based awards under the Pre-IPO Incentive Award Plan were measured at grant date fair value based on the price of units issued to third-party investors in arms’ length transactions in connection with BGLH and Operating Partnership capital raising activities.

(3) Performance condition consists of achievement of Adjusted Funds from Operations per Share (“AFFO per share”) and Same Warehouse NOI Growth (“SS NOI Growth”) metrics, weighed 60% and 40%, respectively. Certain awards issued in 2025 consist of performance conditions associated with Corporate EBITDA, Business Unit EBITDA, and Regional Revenues.

(4) Market condition consists of achievement of total shareholder return of Lineage, Inc. common stock (“TSR”) relative to MSCI US REIT Index for 2025 awards and S&P 500 for 2024 awards.

Certain Plan participants were granted awards of RSUs covering shares of the Company’s common stock or interests in the Operating Partnership in the form of LTIP Units. LTIP Units are a class of partnership interests in the Operating Partnership which may be issued to eligible Plan participants for the performance of services to or for benefit of the Company and Operating Partnership. Further description of LTIP Units is available in Note 2, Capital structure and noncontrolling interests. Stock-based compensation in the form of LTIP Units is recorded in Noncontrolling interests in the consolidated statements of redeemable noncontrolling interests and equity.

Certain RSUs and LTIP Units contain only a service vesting condition (“time-based”) and certain RSUs and LTIP Units contain vesting conditions based on service, Company performance, and market performance (“performance-based”).

During their vesting period, time-based LTIP Units have full distribution rights to receive any distributions declared by the Operating Partnership in cash. During the performance period, holders of performance-based LTIP Units are entitled to receive 10% of all distributions declared by the Operating Partnership in cash. Performance-based LTIP Units are granted in tandem with certain distribution equivalent units which, to the extent that the applicable performance conditions are satisfied, will vest in an amount having a value equal to the excess of all distribution payments that would have been made by the Operating Partnership on such units during the performance period over the amount received in cash, adjusted by the rate of return on shares of Lineage, Inc. common stock as if the distribution payments were invested in Lineage, Inc. common stock between the distribution date and the completion of the performance period.

Certain time-based RSUs and LTIP Units were granted as replacements for unvested Management Profits Interests Class C units, and the stock-based compensation expense associated with these replacement awards includes the unrecognized stock-based compensation expense associated with the replaced awards.

Subject to the recipient’s continued status as a service provider throughout the performance period, performance-based RSUs and LTIP Units typically vest based on the Company’s performance during an approximately three-year performance period, commencing on January 1st of the grant year (or the date of the IPO for the Relative TSR metric

158

LINEAGE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

discussed below) and ending on December 31st of the third year (or, if earlier, the date on which a change in control of the Company occurs, if applicable).

All earned performance-based RSUs and LTIP Units will vest in full upon completion of the performance period, with the number of vested performance-based RSUs and LTIPs to be determined by the Plan Administrator within 60 days of the completion of the performance period. Recipients of performance-based RSUs and LTIP Units who do not remain a service provider for the full performance period but incur a qualifying termination, as defined in the respective agreement, will be eligible to vest in a number of performance-based RSUs and LTIP Units based on the proportion of the performance period for which they remained an active service provider.

The Company measures performance-based RSUs and LTIP Units that contain a TSR component at grant date fair value utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the probability of the market vesting condition being satisfied. The Company’s achievement of the market vesting condition is contingent on its Relative TSR over the performance period. For each simulated path, the TSR is calculated at the end of the performance period and determines the vesting percentage based on achievement of the performance target. The fair value of the performance-based RSUs and LTIP Units is the average discounted payout across all simulation paths.

The key assumptions used to estimate the fair values of performance-based awards were as follows:


	Year Ended December 31,
Assumption	2025		2024
Expected volatility	32.0	%	30.5	%
Risk-free interest rate	3.8	%	3.9	%

The Company forecasts the likelihood of achieving the predefined performance condition targets in order to calculate the expected performance-based RSUs and LTIP Units that will become vested. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense based on either the forecasted units that will become vested (during the performance period) or the actual units that become vested (at the completion of the performance period).

If the performance conditions are deemed not probable of being achieved, the Company reverses previously recognized stock-based compensation expense in the period the probability determination is made. If the performance conditions are later deemed probable of being achieved, compensation cost will be recognized prospectively over the remaining service period.

The following are details of grants and related expenses recognized during the periods presented.

(a)Restricted stock units

Time-based restricted stock units granted for the year ended December 31, 2024 consisted of the following: a) 1,011,747 units with a grant date fair value of $84 million in connection with replacement awards for certain awards under the Pre-IPO Incentive Award Plan, as noted in the section Legacy Stock-Based Compensation Plans below; b) 284,299 units with a grant date fair value of $24 million in connection with the annual grant primarily with a three-year vesting period issued to eligible employees at or above director level; c) 180,448 units with a grant date fair value of $15 million in connection with Lineage’s IPO with a one-year vesting period for eligible employees under director level; d) 46,085 units with a grant date fair value of $4 million in off-cycle grants with vesting periods ranging between one to three years; and e) 8,226 units with a grant date fair value of $1 million in connection with the annual grant for Board members with a one-year vesting period.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company reassessed the probability of achieving certain performance conditions associated with its outstanding performance‑based RSU awards. Based on updated forecasts and year‑to‑date performance results, management determined that it was no longer probable that the performance targets related to SS NOI Growth and AFFO per share for the 2024 grants would be fully achieved by the end of the respective performance period. Accordingly, the Company reversed $3 million of previously recognized stock‑based compensation expense related to these awards.

Similarly, based on the same updated forecasts and performance trends, management concluded that the performance targets for 2025 awards tied to Corporate EBITDA, Business Unit EBITDA, and Regional Revenues were also no longer probable of achievement for the performance period ending December 31, 2025. The Company currently estimates that approximately $5 million of the awards’ original $9 million grant‑date fair value will vest, pending final review and approval by the Plan Administrator.

The following represents a summary of these RSUs:


	Time-based RSUs	Weighted average grant date fair value per unit		Performance-based RSUs	Weighted average grant date fair value per unit

Legacy Stock-Based Compensation Plans

The Legacy Stock-Based Compensation Plans were authorized prior to the Pre-IPO Incentive Award Plan. The Legacy Stock-Based Compensation Plans include BGLH Restricted Class B Units, Management Profits Interests Class C units, and LLH Value Creation Unit Plan units.

(d)BGLH Restricted Class B Units

Prior to the IPO, certain members of management and certain non-employee directors were granted interests in BGLH in the form of restricted Class B Units (“BGLH Restricted Units”). The Company fair valued these BGLH Restricted Units as of the grant date based on the price of substantially similar units issued to third-party investors in arms’ length transactions in connection with other BGLH capital raising activities. The Company recognized stock‑based compensation expense over the vesting term. In connection with the IPO and Formation Transactions, vesting for all outstanding unvested BGLH Restricted Units was accelerated and all previously unrecognized stock-based compensation expense was recognized at that time.

The following represents a summary of these units:


	Units	Weighted average grant date fair value per unit

(e)Management Profits Interests Class C units

LLH MGMT and LLH MGMT II interests were issued to certain members of management in the form of Management Profits Interests Class C units. These profits interests generally vested over a three to five year time period, with the number of units vested based partially on meeting certain financial targets of the Company or individual performance metrics. In connection with the IPO and Formation Transactions, all outstanding unvested Management Profits Interests Class C units were cancelled and replaced with time-based RSUs or time-based LTIP Units. All unrecognized stock-based compensation expense for the unvested Management Profits Interests Class C units is recognized over the vesting term of the replacement awards, plus the incremental fair value of the replacement award.

The Company fair valued these interests as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes model which was adjusted for the restriction period through a possible liquidity event. The key inputs in the valuation included a volatility factor (which ranged from 32% to 62%) and a risk free rate (which ranged from 0.23% to 4.97%), with vesting terms of 0.75 years to 2.5 years as time to maturity in the model. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense over the vesting term.

(f)LLH Value Creation Unit Plan units

Certain employees were granted notional units under the LLH Value Creation Unit Plan (the “2015 LVCP”) in the form of appreciation rights that vested over a period of four years and upon the occurrence of a liquidity event. This plan covered awards from 2015 to 2020. A new LLH Value Creation Unit Plan was established in 2021 (the “2021 LVCP”) that generally provided for the grant of similar appreciation rights that were eligible to vest without the occurrence of a liquidity event if the Company achieved the target value as specified in the award agreements. Prior to the completion of the IPO, the Company considered the achievement of the vesting requirements for outstanding awards under the 2015 LVCP and 2021 LVCP to be improbable, and as such, no compensation expense was recorded. Upon the completion of the IPO during the year ended December 31, 2024, certain outstanding awards under the 2015 LVCP and 2021 LVCP vested and the Company recognized compensation expense and a corresponding liability of $26 million. This liability was settled during the year ended December 31, 2024 by paying cash to certain holders of vested awards totaling $11 million and issuing stock payment awards to satisfy the Company’s remaining obligation, as described above.

Certain outstanding awards under the 2015 LVCP and 2021 LVCP that, at the IPO, were not vested or did not have value to the holders of the awards were cancelled and replaced with time-based RSUs. No awards under the 2015 LVCP or 2021 LVCP remained outstanding as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

(20)Commitments and contingencies

(a)Self‑insured risks

The Company is self‑insured for workers’ compensation costs, with the Company’s workers’ compensation plan having an individual claim stop‑loss deductible of $1 million. Self‑insurance liabilities are determined by third-party actuaries. The Company has established restricted cash accounts with banks or directly with the insurers or letters of credit that are collateral for its self‑insured workers’ compensation obligations. The combined amount included in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and Other long-term liabilities related to workers’ compensation liabilities as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $50 million and $52 million, respectively. The liability represents the gross amount excluding amounts receivable from the insurers. The total included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other assets related to the receivables from insurers as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $14 million and $17 million, respectively.

The Company is also self‑insured for a portion of employee medical costs. The Company has a medical plan with a retained deductible. Medical self‑insurance liabilities are determined by third‑party actuaries. The total included in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities related to medical liabilities as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $14 million and $11 million, respectively.

(b)Legal and regulatory proceedings

The Company, from time to time and in the normal course of business, is party to various claims, lawsuits, arbitrations, and regulatory actions (collectively, “Claims”). In particular, as the result of numerous ongoing construction activities, the Company may be a party to construction and/or contractor related liens and claims, including mechanic’s and materialmen’s liens. The Company is also party to various Claims related to commercial disagreements with customers or suppliers. Additionally, given the Company’s substantial workforce, and, in particular, its warehouse related workforce, the Company is party to various labor and employment related Claims, including, without limitation, Claims related to workers’ compensation, wage and hour, discrimination, and related matters. Finally, given the Company’s business of warehousing refrigerated food products and its utilization of anhydrous ammonia for its refrigeration systems (a known hazardous material), the Company is subject to the jurisdiction of various U.S. regulatory agencies, including, without limitation, the Department of Agriculture, Food and Drug Administration, Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”), Department of Justice, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and various other agencies in the locations in which the Company operates. Management of the Company believes the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements.

(c)Environmental matters

The Company is subject to a wide range of environmental laws and regulations in each of the locations in which the Company operates. Compliance with these requirements can involve significant capital and operating costs. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in civil or criminal fines or sanctions, claims for environmental damages, remediation obligations, the revocation of environmental permits, or restrictions on the Company’s operations.

The Company records accruals for environmental matters when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated based on current law and existing technologies. The Company believes it is in compliance with applicable environmental regulations in all material respects. Under various U.S. federal, state, and local environmental laws, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the entire cost of investigating, removing, and/or remediating hazardous or toxic substances on such property. Such laws often impose liability, whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the contamination. Even if more than one person may have been responsible for the contamination, each person covered by the environmental laws may be held responsible for the entire clean-up cost. Most of the Company’s warehouses utilize anhydrous ammonia as a refrigerant. Anhydrous ammonia is classified as a hazardous chemical regulated by the EPA and various other agencies in the locations in which the Company operates, and an accident or significant release of anhydrous ammonia from a warehouse could result in injuries, loss of life, and property damage. There are no material liabilities arising out of environmental matters as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

(d)Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA)

The Company’s warehouses located in the U.S. are subject to regulation under OSHA, which requires employers to provide employees with an environment free from hazards, such as exposure to toxic chemicals, excessive noise levels, mechanical dangers, heat or cold stress, and unsanitary conditions. The cost of complying with OSHA and similar laws enacted by states and other jurisdictions in which the Company operates can be substantial, and any failure to comply with these regulations could expose the Company to substantial penalties and/or liabilities to employees who may be injured at the Company’s warehouses. The Company records accruals for OSHA matters when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. The Company believes that it is in compliance with all OSHA regulations in all material respects and that no material unrecorded liabilities exist as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

(e)Kennewick, Washington warehouse fire

On April 21, 2024, a fire occurred at the Company’s warehouse in Kennewick, Washington, destroying the building and customer inventories. No employees or other parties were injured. The Company expects all repair, replacement, and clean-up costs to be covered by its insurance policies, excluding any deductibles and self-insured retentions. The net gain or loss is presented in Restructuring, impairment, and (gain) loss on disposals in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and consisted of the following:


	Year Ended December 31,
(in millions)		2025		2024

Net (gain) loss		$	(53)	$	(51)

(1) Includes business interruption insurance recoveries of $6 million during the year ended December 31, 2025.

In July 2025, the Company received a customer claim for inventories losses associated with the fire, to which the Company believes it has a strong defense. The Company believes this matter is adequately covered by insurance and does not expect the ultimate outcome of this matter to have a material adverse impact on the consolidated financial statements.

On January 21, 2026, a complaint was filed against the Company, the State of Washington and Benton-Franklin Health District alleging damages to certain local residents from the Kennewick fire. The case is at a preliminary stage, and while the potential loss from this complaint cannot be estimated at this time, the Company believes it has strong defenses to the alleged claims and does not expect the ultimate outcome of this matter to have a material adverse impact on the consolidated financial statements.

(f)Tax inquiry

In 2025, the Company received an inquiry from a foreign tax authority related to a historical tax matter. The Company believes the tax authority’s position lacks merit and, if the tax authority were to pursue it, the Company has strong bases on which to vigorously defend the matter. However, if the tax authority were successful in challenging the Company’s position, it could have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial statements. Given the preliminary stage and the complexities of the inquiry, any potential loss or range of loss cannot be estimated at this time.

(22)Earnings (loss) per share

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders of the Company by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders adjusted for any dilutive instruments of the Company by the weighted average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the reporting period. A reconciliation of the basic and diluted EPS is as follows:


	Year Ended December 31,
(in millions, except per share amounts)		2025		2024		2023
Earnings (loss) per share - basic and diluted:
Net income (loss) attributable to Lineage, Inc.		$	(100)	$	(664)	$	(77)

Less: Reclassification of the Preference Shares		—		20		—
Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders - basic and diluted		$	(98)	$	(706)	$	(118)

Net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders - basic and diluted		$	(0.43)	$	(3.70)	$	(0.73)

The Company’s potential dilutive securities have been excluded from the computation of diluted net earnings (loss) per share, as they are antidilutive. Therefore, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate both basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders is the same.

The Company’s potential common share equivalents as of December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 are as follows:

•Non-Company LPs who hold partnership common units have certain redemption rights which allow them to require the Operating Partnership to repurchase the partnership common units in exchange for cash or, at the option of the Company, shares of Lineage, Inc. common stock. Other classes of Operating Partnership and LLH equity interests held by Non-Company LPs and BG Maverick, including Legacy OP Units, LTIP Units, and OPEUs may also be exchanged for partnership common units at future dates. The shares of Lineage, Inc. common stock which could be issued in connection with a hypothetical repurchase of currently outstanding partnership common units or potentially outstanding partnership common units issued in exchange for Legacy OP Units, LTIP Units, and OPEUs represent potential common share equivalents.

•The Company issued certain Put Options and top-up rights. In accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share, the incremental shares associated with satisfaction of the Put Options utilizing proceeds of a hypothetical issuance of common shares at market prices represent potential common share equivalents. Payments of top-up rights in the form of shares of common stock represented potential common share equivalents as of December 31, 2024. All Put Options have been settled as of December 31, 2025.

•Before the redemption of Class A units and the Legacy Class A-4 OP units by the seller of MTC Logistics in 2025, as described in Note 2, Capital structure and noncontrolling interests, the holder could elect to receive any combination of cash or Operating Partnership units that equal the excess of $34 million over the fair market value of the units. The Operating Partnership Units that could have been issued in connection with this hypothetical election represented potential common share equivalents as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

•The Preference Shares further described in Note 2, Capital structure and noncontrolling interests will be redeemed for cash or a variable number of shares of the Company’s common stock on October 1, 2026. The

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosures controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2025 because of the material weakness described below.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Additionally, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate.

With the participation of our CEO and CFO, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, using the criteria set forth in in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”).

We did not design and maintain effective ITGCs for information systems that are relevant to the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. Specifically, we did not design and maintain: (i) program change management controls to ensure that program and data changes are identified, tested, authorized, and implemented appropriately; and (ii) user access controls to ensure appropriate segregation of duties and to adequately restrict user and privileged access to appropriate personnel. These IT deficiencies did not result in a material misstatement to the consolidated financial statements, however, the deficiencies, when aggregated, could impact maintaining effective segregation of duties, as well as the effectiveness of IT-dependent controls (such as automated controls that address the risk of material misstatement to one or more assertions, along with the IT controls and underlying data that support the effectiveness of system-generated data and reports) that could result in misstatements potentially impacting all financial statement accounts and disclosures that would not be prevented or detected. Accordingly, management has determined these deficiencies constitute a material weakness.

Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2025.

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, has performed an audit of, and has issued an attestation report on, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025.

177

Remediation of Material Weakness

Management remains committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment and has initiated actions to remediate the identified material weakness. Remediation efforts include:

•the recent hiring of IT Compliance and Oversight personnel with responsibility to lead the remediation for the design and operating effectiveness of ITGCs, including the monitoring of effectiveness of these controls;

•enhancing the design of control activities and enforcing supporting documentation retention protocols for all program change management and user access controls; and

•developing and maintaining an enhanced controls training awareness program for new and existing employees addressing ITGCs and related policies, with a focus on program change management and user access controls.

Management will continue to assess the effectiveness of these efforts and adjust remediation plans as necessary. The material weakness will not be considered remediated until all corrective measures have been fully implemented, the relevant controls have operated effectively for a sufficient period, and management has concluded—through testing—that the controls are operating as intended. While management believes the remediation plan will resolve the material weakness, the timing of full remediation cannot be guaranteed.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2025 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act.

Item 9B. Other Information

None of our directors or executive officers adopted or terminated a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement or a non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement during the three months ended December 31, 2025, as such terms are defined in Item 408 of Regulation S-K.
