This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward looking statements as defined by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In particular, statements pertaining to our business and growth strategies, investment and development activities and trends in our business, contain forward-looking statements. When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the words “estimate,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “seek,” “position,” “support,” “drive,” “enable,” “optimistic,” “target,” “opportunity,” “approximately” or “plan,” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases that are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and that do not relate solely to historical matters are intended to identify forward-looking statements. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans, or intentions of management.

Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties, and you should not rely on them as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements depend on assumptions, data, or methods that may be incorrect or imprecise and we may not be able to realize them. We do not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements:

•general business and economic conditions;

•continued volatility and uncertainty in the credit markets and broader financial markets, including potential fluctuations in the Consumer Price Index and changes in foreign currency exchange rates;

•other risks inherent in the real estate business, including customer defaults, potential liability relating to environmental matters, illiquidity of real estate investments and potential damages from natural disasters;

•the availability of suitable acquisitions and our ability to acquire properties or businesses on favorable terms;

•our ability to meet budgeted or stabilized returns on our development and expansion projects within expected time frames, or at all;

•our ability to manage our expanded operations, including expansion into new markets or business lines;

•our failure to realize the intended benefits from, or disruptions to our plans and operations or unknown or contingent liabilities related to, our recent and future acquisitions;

•our failure to successfully integrate and operate acquired or developed properties or businesses;

•our ability to renew significant customer contracts;

•the impact of supply chain disruptions, including the impact on labor availability, raw material availability, manufacturing and food production and transportation;

•difficulties managing an international business and acquiring or operating properties in foreign jurisdictions and unfamiliar metropolitan areas;

•changes in political conditions, geopolitical turmoil, political instability, civil disturbances, restrictive governmental actions or nationalization in the countries in which we operate;

•the degree and nature of our competition;

•our failure to generate sufficient cash flows to service our outstanding indebtedness;

•our ability to access debt and equity capital markets;

•continued volatility in interest rates;

•increased power, labor or construction costs;

•changes in consumer demand or preferences for products we store in our warehouses;

•decreased storage rates or increased vacancy rates;

•labor shortages or our inability to attract and retain talent;

•changes in, or the failure or inability to comply with, government regulation;

•a failure of our information technology systems, systems conversions and integrations, cybersecurity attacks or a breach of our information security systems, networks, or processes;

•our failure to maintain our status as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

•changes in local, state, federal and international laws and regulations, including related to taxation, real estate and zoning laws, and increases in real property tax rates;

•the impact of any financial, accounting, legal or regulatory issues or litigation that may affect us; and

•additional factors discussed in the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and “Risk Factors” in our prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date such statements are made.

(b)Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 Commissions (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. These financial statements include all adjustments, which consist of normal, recurring adjustments and transactions or events discretely impacting the interim periods, considered necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. The accompanying condensed 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 operating results for the interim periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company’s prospectus dated July 24, 2024, filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on July 26, 2024 (the “Prospectus”) in connection with the Company’s IPO.

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 September 30, 2024, the Company did not have any VIEs.

(c)Use of estimates in preparation of financial statements

The preparation of the Company’s condensed 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 condensed consolidated financial statements.

(d)Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In June 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions. The amendments in this ASU clarify that a contractual restriction on sale of an equity security is not considered part of the unit of account of the equity security and, therefore, is not considered in measuring fair value. The amendments also clarify that an entity cannot, as a separate unit of account, recognize and measure a contractual sale restriction. The ASU also requires additional disclosures surrounding equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2024. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

(e)Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments in this ASU require that an entity disclose significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, disclose an amount for other segment items by reportable segment and a description of the amount’s composition, and provide all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets currently required by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 280, Segment Reporting, in interim periods. The amendments also require that an entity disclose the title and position of the CODM with an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and making resource allocation decisions. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company expects the adoption of this ASU will result in additional disclosures but will not impact its consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU amends existing income tax disclosure guidance, primarily requiring more detailed disclosure for income taxes paid and the effective tax rate reconciliation. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is still evaluating the impact this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2024, the SEC adopted new rules that will require registrants to provide certain climate-related information in their registration statements and annual reports. The rules require information about a registrant's climate-related risks that are reasonably likely to have a material impact on its business, results of operations, or financial condition. The required information about climate-related risks will also include disclosure of a registrant's greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, the rules will require registrants to present certain climate-related financial metrics in their audited financial statements. Some portions of the new rules will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning in calendar year 2025 and some in 2026. In April 2024, the SEC voluntarily stayed the implementation of these rules, pending resolution of judicial review. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the rule changes on its consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Unaudited

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-01, Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interests and Similar Awards. This ASU clarifies the application of ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation, to profits interests and similar instruments by providing illustrative examples of the proper accounting for such awards. The ASU does not contain changes to the application of the previously existing accounting guidance. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company does not expect this ASU to have an effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements because the Company’s accounting for profits interests and similar instruments conforms to the clarified guidance.

(f)Accounts receivable and Notes receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and are stated net of estimated allowances for uncollectible balances. Notes receivable primarily consist of amounts that are due and payable related to a variety of unique Company transactions. The current portion of notes receivable is recorded in Accounts receivable, net and the non-current portion is recorded in Other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The current portion of notes receivable was $7 million and $6 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. There were no non-current notes receivable as of September 30, 2024, and the non-current portion of notes receivable was $20 million as of December 31, 2023. Allowances for uncollectible balances are reserved based on expected credit losses. Management exercises judgement in establishing these allowances and considers the balance outstanding and payment history. The Company writes off receivables against the allowances after all reasonable collection efforts are exhausted. The Company’s allowance for accounts receivable was $8 million and $7 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

(g)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 net income of the entity is recognized in income and presented in Equity method investments in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Allocations of profits and losses are made per the terms of the organizational documents. The Company’s ownership percentages in such entities range from 8.9% to 50.0%.

The Company has committed to invest up to a total of $108 million in its equity method investment Emergent Cold LatAm Holdings, LLC (“LatAm”). The Company has invested a total of $83 million to date. The Company made no investments during the three months ended September 30, 2024, and invested $13 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and $8 million and $29 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The Company has an option to purchase the remaining equity interests in LatAm during a period beginning on the third anniversary and expiring on the sixth anniversary of its initial investment date, which was July 2021.

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 12, Fair value measurements for additional information. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying amount of these investments was $31 million and $30 million, respectively, and is presented in Other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(2)Capital structure and noncontrolling interests

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

On July 26, 2024, the Company closed its 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 to the Company from the IPO, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses paid or payable by the Company, were $4,873 million. In connection with the IPO, the Company effectuated certain changes in its capital structure to facilitate the

Operating Partnership capital structure

The Operating Partnership’s capital structure as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is as follows:


	September 30, 2024	December 31, 2023
Partnership common units owned by Lineage, Inc.	228,403,383	—
Partnership common units owned by Non-Company LPs	984,089	—
Legacy OP Class A Units & Legacy OP Class B Units owned by Non-Company LPs	20,929,599	—
Redeemable Legacy OP Class B Units owned by Non-Company LPs	319,006	—
LTIP Units held by Non-Company LPs	2,995,153	—

Class A & B units owned by Non-Company LPs	—	18,829,959
Redeemable Class A units owned by Non-Company LPs	—	1,260,182
Total	253,631,230	182,107,656

Class C units in the Operating Partnership, which were reclassified into other interests in the Formation Transactions, are excluded from the above summary because their only claim on the underlying assets of the Operating Partnership was the distribution described below.

Noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership relates to the interest in the Operating Partnership owned by investors other than Lineage, Inc. (“Non-Company LPs”).

(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 condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed 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, 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.

(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 IPO and Formation Transactions, Non-Company LPs held certain Class A, Class B, and Class C units in the Operating Partnership. These units were exchanged for Legacy Class A OP Units and Legacy Class B OP Units (collectively, “Legacy OP Units”) in the Formation Transactions. Class A and Class B units were

LINEAGE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Unaudited

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, LLC (“BG Cold”), an affiliate of Bay Grove Management, held all outstanding Class C units of the Operating Partnership. 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. The calculation of the Founders Equity Share borne by Class A units in the Operating Partnership held by Non-Company LPs varied depending on the sub-class of Class A units but generally amounted to a percentage of all value appreciation over certain thresholds. 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 $3 million and $26 million in Advance Distributions during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. BG Cold received a total of $11 million and $34 million in Advance Distributions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The payment of the Advance Distribution during the three months ended September 30, 2024 was the final payment of Advance Distribution and represented a prorated amount of the Advance Distribution for the full three months ended September 30, 2024, payable for the period from July 1, 2024 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 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, and 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 expect 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.

During the three months ended September 30, 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

LINEAGE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Unaudited

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. Accordingly, both vested and unvested LTIP Units are accounted for as Noncontrolling interests in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed 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 are redeemable at the greater of a fixed redemption amount or fair value if certain liquidation events do not occur. Under ASC 810, Consolidation, the noncontrolling interest is adjusted each reporting period for income (loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interest based on the relative ownership percentage of these Non-Company LPs. Each reporting period, the Company accretes the changes in the redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest over the period of issuance to the earliest redemption date and records an adjustment if the accreted redemption value is greater than the ASC 810 carrying value. These adjustments, if any, are affected by charges against equity. In accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities From Equity, the Company elected to apply the “Equity Classification — Entire Adjustment Method,” which treats the entire adjustment for the redeemable noncontrolling interests to an amount other than the ASC 810 carrying value as an adjustment to equity using retained earnings (or additional paid-in capital in absence of retained earnings). The Company’s adjustments are recorded to Additional paid-in capital - common stock in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of redeemable noncontrolling interests and equity because the Company is in an accumulated deficit position. These adjustments to equity are not a component of net income, however, they are accounted for in the Company’s calculations of earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) as disclosed in Note 19, Earnings (loss) per share.

In connection with the acquisition of MTC Logistics Holdings, LLC and certain real property (together with its subsidiaries, “MTC Logistics”), the Company entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement with the sellers of MTC Logistics. Under the terms of the agreement, the sellers acquired certain Class A units of the Operating Partnership and the sellers had a one-time right as of March 1, 2025 to put all, or a portion of, the units for cash. Upon the exercise of the put right, the price to be paid for the redeemable noncontrolling interests would have been the current fair market value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest, subject to a minimum price (“floor”) equivalent to $34 million if the put right is exercised for all the units. In lieu of redemption, the sellers may have elected to receive any combination of cash and/or additional Operating Partnership units that equaled the excess of $34 million over the fair market value of the units as of the election date.

In connection with the Formation Transactions, these units were reclassified into Legacy Class A-4 OP units that provide the holders with similar redemption rights as of March 1, 2025. These redemption rights allow the 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

LINEAGE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Unaudited

floor of $106.59 (less certain distributions received after June 26, 2024) or, if greater, the then-current fair market value of the Legacy Class A-4 OP units to be redeemed or (2) receive a one-time true-up paid in cash or through the issuance of new Legacy Class A-4 OP units or new common units (or any combination of cash and units) in the amount by which the guaranteed minimum value of $106.59 per unit (less certain distributions received after June 26, 2024) exceeds the then-current fair market value of the Legacy Class A-4 OP units. Legacy Class A-4 OP units can also be reclassified into an equal number of common units at any time as may be agreed by the holders of Legacy Class A-4 OP units and the LHR, or under certain other circumstances at the discretion of the LHR acting as representative of such holders. Legacy Class A-4 OP units are comprised of A-Piece Sub-Units and C-Piece Sub-Units similar to other Legacy Class A OP units and any redemption of Legacy Class A-4 OP units would require the settlement of any accrued Founders Equity Share through the date of the redemption, which may increase the per unit payment by the Operating Partnership required in connection with any redemption of these 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 are accounted for as Redeemable noncontrolling interests in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed 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 include the impact of Founders Equity Share.

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 entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement with the sellers of JCS. Under the terms of the agreement, the sellers acquired 941,176 Class A units of the Operating Partnership, and the sellers had a one-time right as of February 1, 2024 to put all, or a portion of, the units for cash. These units were accounted for as Redeemable noncontrolling interests in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of redeemable noncontrolling interests and equity due to the put right held by the sellers. Upon the exercise of the put right, the price to be paid for the redeemable noncontrolling interests was the current fair market value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest, subject to a floor equivalent to $97 million if the put right was exercised for all the units. Any redemption also required a distribution of any accrued but unpaid Founders Equity Share through the date of redemption, and the required accretion adjustments related to these units included the impact of the Founders Equity Share.

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 condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of redeemable noncontrolling interests and equity.

LLH Capital Structure

The Operating Partnership owns all outstanding equity interests of LLH except for those held by BG Maverick and holds all outstanding common units in LLH. Prior to the IPO and Formation Transactions, LLH MGMT and LLH MGMT II also held interests in LLH. The equity interests held by BG Maverick, LLH MGMT, and LLH MGMT II are accounted for as Noncontrolling interests in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed 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

LINEAGE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Unaudited

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 condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed 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 three months ended September 30, 2024. In addition, the previous operating services agreement between LLH and Bay Grove described in Note 16, Related-party balances was terminated and Bay Grove’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 condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

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 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 condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed 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 - common stock.

As of September 30, 2024, there were 1,461,148 OPEUs outstanding, which represents 0.6% ownership in LLH.

(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.

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 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 15, Stock-based compensation. No Management Profits Interests Class C units remain outstanding as of September 30, 2024. The noncontrolling interest previously recognized related to vested Management Profits

LINEAGE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Unaudited

Interest Class C units was reclassified into other forms of stockholders’ equity, as applicable, 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 $3 million and $13 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. No such redemptions occurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. In the condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of redeemable noncontrolling interests and equity, the carrying value of the redeemed units is recorded as a reduction of Noncontrolling interests, while the excess of the redemption payments over the carrying value of the redeemed units is 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 condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed 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:


	September 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Cool Port Oakland Holdings, LLC	13.3	%	13.3	%
Lineage Jiuheng Logistics (HK) Group Company Ltd.	40.0	%	40.0	%
Kloosterboer BLG Coldstore GmbH	49.0	%	49.0	%
Turvo India Pvt. Ltd.	1.0	%	1.0	%

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.

The Company’s REIT subsidiaries had an aggregate amount of 373 Series A preferred shares held by third parties outstanding as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

(j)Convertible Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests - Preference Shares

On October 1, 2021 (“Closing Date”), the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests in Kloosterboer Group B.V. and its subsidiaries (“Kloosterboer”). Pursuant to the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the Investment Agreement executed on the Closing Date, the seller (the “Co-Investor”) elected to reinvest €200 million in the Company’s newly formed Dutch subsidiary in the form of 2,952,738 non-voting preferred equity instruments with a per share nominal value of €0.007 (the “Preference Shares”) issued on the Closing Date. The Preference Shares accrue a fixed, cumulative, preferential dividend at the rate of 14% per annum until the second anniversary of the Closing Date, and 10% per annum thereafter, compounded annually.

LINEAGE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Unaudited

Once per year, the Co-Investor has a regular redemption right. Further, the Co-Investor has special redemption rights upon the occurrence of certain events.

The Investment Agreement also provided the holder of the Preference Shares conversion rights upon the occurrence of certain events. The conversion rights were structured to track the economic performance of select Class A units of the Operating Partnership if the Company did not complete an initial public offering and to track the economic performance of common stock of Lineage, Inc. if the Company did complete an initial public offering (“Tracker Shares”). To the extent that the Co-Investor did not exercise its right to conversion, all outstanding Preference Shares, including all unpaid, accrued preferential dividends, shall be mandatorily redeemed for cash by the Company upon the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date. The accrued preferential dividend shall only be paid upon a regular redemption of the Preference Shares and would not have been payable if the Co-Investor exercised its conversion or special redemption right.

The Company has applied the guidance under ASC 480-10-S99-3A on the classification and subsequent measurement of Preference Shares. The Preference Shares represented a redeemable noncontrolling interest in the Company and were presented within Redeemable noncontrolling interests in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of redeemable noncontrolling interests and equity. The Preference Shares qualified for classification in temporary equity (outside of Stockholders’ equity) because the redemption feature was not solely within the control of the Company. As the Preference Shares were currently redeemable, the Company measured redeemable noncontrolling interests at the greater of (i) the initial carrying amount and dividends or (ii) the maximum redemption value, including accrued dividends payable under the redemption feature as of the balance sheet date. Required redeemable noncontrolling interest adjustments were recorded as an increase or decrease to Redeemable noncontrolling interests, with an offsetting adjustment to Additional paid-in capital - common stock.

The Co-Investor informed the Company that they would not exercise the right to convert the Preference Shares into Tracker Shares upon IPO. As a result of this election, 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. As a result, upon completion of the IPO, the Preference Shares have been reclassified in the accompanying condensed 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 14, Other long-term liabilities for additional information.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the Company recorded net redeemable noncontrolling interest adjustments, representing the effect of foreign currency on the carrying amount and accrued dividends payable. The net redeemable noncontrolling interest adjustments during the three months ended September 30, 2024 represent the adjustments for the period prior to the IPO. As of December 31, 2023, there were 2,214,553 Preference Shares outstanding. As of December 31, 2023, the ending redeemable noncontrolling interest balance of $221 million represents the maximum redemption value of the Preference Shares.

In the tables above, for the period after the IPO and Formation Transactions, Operating Partnership Units include Partnership common units held by Non-Company LPs, Legacy OP Units held by Non-Company LPs, and LTIP Units held by Non-Company LPs. For the period before the IPO and Formation Transactions, Operating Partnership Units include Class A, Class B, and Class C units of the Operating Partnership held by Non-Company LPs.

Dividends and Distributions

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company’s board of directors declared a prorated quarterly cash dividend of $0.38 per share of common stock. 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. The dividend was payable to shareholders of record as of September 30, 2024 and was paid on October 21, 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 holders of common units in LLH and OPEUs. As further described in Note 15, Stock-based compensation, 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 condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 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 which vest in more than one year. In the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023, all unpaid dividend and

LINEAGE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Unaudited

distribution amounts are included in Accrued dividends and distributions. Intercompany distributions from LLH to the Operating Partnership and from the Operating Partnership to Lineage, Inc. are eliminated in consolidation.

Put options

In connection with the Formation Transactions, the Company executed a put option agreement, which provides special redemption rights and top-up rights, each as defined below, that mirror the rights of certain classes of BGLH equity interests (the “Put Options”). Pursuant to the Put Options, BGLH has 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 currently held by BGLH to certain holders of BGLH equity interests, and these holders will 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-then current fair market value of shares of the Company’s common stock at specified times during the Put Option Exercise Window.

The contractual guaranteed minimum price will be reduced by any distributions received by the holders of the BGLH equity interests, which are paid by BGLH using funds received by BGLH from payments of dividends by the Company. The Company has assessed the Put Options as freestanding financial instruments which are classified as liabilities under ASC 480, because the Put Options represent written put options on the Company’s common stock which may 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 accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of redeemable noncontrolling interests and equity during the three months ended September 30, 2024. The liability associated with Put Options that have Put Option Exercise Windows which are within one year of the balance sheet date are recorded in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The liability associated with any Put Options that have Put Option Exercise Windows which expire more than one year after the balance sheet date are recorded in Other long-term liabilities.

The Company calculates 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 is estimated during the Put Option Exercise Window, which determines the Company’s obligation under each Put Option. The fair value of the Put Options is the average discounted obligation across all simulation paths. The Company remeasures this liability at fair value on a recurring basis, as described in Note 12, Fair value measurements, and adjustments to the fair value are recorded within Other nonoperating income (expense), net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded fair value adjustments of $4 million related to the Put Options.

On November 4, 2024, the Put Option with an Exercise Window of September 1, 2024 to October 16, 2024 was settled. As a result of this settlement, the Company repurchased 221,821 shares of its common stock in exchange for proceeds of $26 million and made a top-up payment in cash of $1 million.

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 September 30, 2024, the Company had $1,002 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, due to the inability to quantify by estimate, is fully constrained. The Company expects to recognize 21.4% of

LINEAGE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Unaudited

these remaining performance obligations as revenue over the next 12 months and the remaining 78.6% to be recognized over a weighted average period of 9.7 years through 2043.

Accounts receivable balances related to contracts with customers were $796 million and $805 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Deferred revenue balances related to contracts with customers were $81 million and $93 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Substantially all revenue that was included in the deferred revenue balances at the beginning of 2024 has been recognized as of September 30, 2024 and represents revenue from the satisfaction of storage and handling services billed in advance.

(4)Business combinations, asset acquisitions, and divestitures

2024 Acquisitions

(a)Entrepôt du Nord

On February 1, 2024, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity of Entrepôt du Nord Inc. and 2957-8002 Quebec Inc. (collectively “EDN”) through a share purchase agreement for $60 million in cash consideration. EDN owns and operates a temperature controlled warehouse facility near Montreal in Quebec, Canada. Inclusive of measurement period adjustments, the Company has preliminarily assigned the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including $36 million of property, plant, and equipment, $19 million of customer relationships intangible assets, $1 million of cash, $1 million of net working capital assets, $12 million of deferred tax liabilities, and $15 million of goodwill. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded measurement period adjustments relating to updated fair value estimates of acquired property, plant, and equipment, customer relationships intangible assets, and deferred income tax liabilities, which resulted in a $7 million decrease to goodwill.

The goodwill associated with this acquisition is primarily attributable to the strategic benefits of strengthening the Company’s warehousing network in Canada and is attributable to the Company’s Global Warehousing segment. The goodwill associated with this acquisition is not amortizable for income tax purposes. The Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), redeemable noncontrolling interests and equity, and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 include the results of operations for this business since the date of acquisition.

(b)Eurofrigor

On June 28, 2024, the Company acquired all of the outstanding equity of Eurofrigor S.r.l. Magazzini Generali (“Eurofrigor”) through a quota purchase agreement for approximately $17 million ($14 million net of cash acquired). Eurofrigor owns and operates a temperature controlled warehouse facility in Controguerra, Italy. The transaction has been accounted for as an asset acquisition.

(c)Luik Natie

On July 31, 2024, the Company purchased all of the outstanding equity of Luik Natie Holding N.V. (“Luik Natie”) through a share purchase agreement in Belgium for $52 million, inclusive of possible contingent earn-out payments of $12 million. The contingent earn-out amount is based on EBITDA performance and a potential expansion of the campus. In addition, the Company has assumed debt of $14 million. Luik Natie owns and operates a campus of facilities in the port city of Antwerp-Burges, Belgium, providing freezer, cooler, and ambient storage and transportation services. The company has preliminarily assigned the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including $48 million of property, plant, and equipment, $6 million of customer relationship intangible assets, $1 million of cash, $4 million of accounts receivable, $5 million of trade and other payables, $9 million of deferred tax liabilities, and $21 million of goodwill.

The goodwill associated with this transaction is primarily attributable to the strategic benefits of strengthening the Company’s warehousing and transportation network in Belgium and providing access to the port of

LINEAGE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Unaudited

Antwerp-Burgess, the second largest in Europe. The goodwill associated with this transaction is not amortizable for income tax purposes. The goodwill has not yet been allocated to a reportable segment, as the valuation is preliminary.

(d)Facility in Western Australia

On May 22, 2024 the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a cold storage facility in Western Australia for $11 million. The transaction closed on November 1, 2024.

Updates Relating to Prior Period Acquisitions

(a)VersaCold

On August 2, 2022, the Company acquired all the outstanding equity interests of VersaCold GP Inc., 1309266 BC ULC and VersaCold Acquireco, L.P. and its subsidiaries, including the operating entity VersaCold Logistics Services, (collectively “VersaCold”). Included in cash consideration transferred was a liability assumed by the Company to be paid to the Canadian Revenue Agency (“CRA”) on behalf of the sellers. The amount owed to the CRA was $4 million and $43 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and is included in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company paid $28 million and $39 million to the CRA during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

The initial accounting for the 2024 business combinations has been completed on a preliminary basis, and accounting for all 2023 business combinations has been finalized. The primary areas of acquisition accounting that are not yet finalized relate to the valuation of all acquired real estate assets, intangible assets, and related income tax assets and liabilities. The Company’s estimates and assumptions are subject to change during the measurement period, not to exceed one year from the acquisition date, and actual values may materially differ from the preliminary estimates.

2023 Divestitures

(8)Income taxes

The Company’s provision for income taxes is based upon an estimated annual tax rate for the year applied to U.S. federal, U.S. state, and foreign income. Significant discrete items that are not consistent from period to period are recorded to Income tax expense (benefit) in the quarter in which they occur.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 7.7% and 6.7%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was 9.1% and 17.0%, respectively. The annual effective tax rates differ from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to the Company operating as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the differences in tax rates at which foreign income is taxed, and certain nondeductible expenses, income tax credits, and changes in valuation allowance.

During the three months ended September 30, 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 condensed consolidated balance sheets. The release of the valuation allowance was due to the Company’s internal restructurings. In assessing the realizability of the Company’s deferred tax assets and the appropriateness of the remaining valuation allowances, management continues to consider the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax-planning strategies. There is a reasonable possibility that within the next twelve months, sufficient positive or negative evidence may become available to allow the Company to reach a conclusion that would warrant a change in our valuation allowance positions, and any related changes will be recorded in the period such a determination is made.

(a)Unsecured Credit Facilities

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had an outstanding balance on Unsecured Credit Facilities of $2,735 million and $3,080 million, respectively, inclusive of the following debt instruments:

i.Credit Agreement - Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan A

On December 22, 2020, the Company entered into a 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 U.S. dollar (“USD”) denominated term loan (the “Term Loan A” or “TLA”) with various lenders. The Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan A had an original maturity of December 22, 2024 and December 22, 2025, respectively. The Credit Agreement became unsecured with an amendment on August 20, 2021.

Effective February 15, 2024, the Company amended and restated the Credit Agreement, increasing the Company’s borrowing capacity under the existing Revolving Credit Facility from $2,625 million to $3,500 million. The amendment also resulted in a pay down of $875 million on the Term Loan A using funds available on the Revolving Credit Facility. After the amendment, the remaining outstanding balance on the Term Loan A is $1,000 million. Additionally, the amendment gives 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. The amended maturity dates for the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan A are February 15, 2028 and February 15, 2029, respectively. 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 condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, 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.

There were $66 million in letters of credit issued on the Company’s Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2024 and $67 million as of December 31, 2023. Under the Credit Agreement, the Company has the ability to issue up to $100 million as letters of credit.

On June 25, 2024, the Company amended the Credit Agreement to include two new syndicate lenders. Apart from the addition of these lenders, there were no significant changes to the total loan amounts, terms, or conditions of the Credit Agreement.

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, effective August 1, 2024, which reduced the RCF and TLA interest rate to Adjusted Term SOFR +1.05%. Upon receipt of the Fitch Rating, the RCF and TLA interest rate was further reduced to Adjusted Term SOFR + 0.93%.

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. The involved parties, in addition to the Company, included a syndicate of banks, financial institutions, and other entities, with notable participants being JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”) also acting as the administrative agent, and Wells Fargo Securities LLC also acting as a syndication agent.

On April 9, 2024, the Company drew $2,400 million under the DDTL and used the proceeds to pay off the remaining outstanding adjustable rate multi-property loan CMBS 4 (“CMBS 4”).

Term loan borrowings under the DDTL facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR plus 0.10% (or “Adjusted Term SOFR”), plus the applicable margin of 1.60% that is based on the Company’s total leverage ratio. Interest is payable in arrears on a quarterly basis. In addition, the DDTL facility is subject to a commitment fee of 0.20% on the average daily unused amount of the facility commitment.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Unaudited

In connection with the execution of the DDTL, the Company incurred and capitalized fees and expenses of $9 million as deferred financing costs. The DDTL capitalized deferred financing costs are presented in Other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

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.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the total balance of $1,734 million and $1,708 million, respectively, was comprised of a series of USD, Euro (“EUR”), and Great British pound (“GBP”) private placement financing instruments that are fixed-rate guaranteed, unsecured senior notes. The notes bear interest at rates between 0.89% and 3.74% and have maturities between August 2026 and August 2032.

On September 19, 2024, the Company amended all of its outstanding unsecured senior 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 unsecured notes.

(10)Derivative instruments and hedging activities

(a)Risk management objective of using derivatives

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages 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. The Company’s designated interest rate swaps and caps hedge variable-rate interest payments using a first payments approach. The first payments approach allows an entity to hedge interest payments on a designated principal amount, rather than a specific, named debt issuance. Refer to Note 9, Debt for additional information.

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.

(12)Fair value measurements

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 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.

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

LINEAGE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Unaudited

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.

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 measured at fair value:


(in millions)	Fair Value Hierarchy	September 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
Measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
Interest rate derivative financial instruments assets	Level 2	$	73	$	138

Foreign exchange forward contracts assets	Level 2	$	1	$	—
Foreign exchange forward contracts liabilities	Level 2	$	2	$	1

__________________

(1) The investments in equity securities carried at fair value are subject to transfer restrictions and generally cannot be sold without consent.

(2) The carrying value of long-term debt is disclosed in Note 9, Debt.

The Company is required to measure certain assets and liabilities at estimated fair value from time to time. These fair value measurements typically result from the application of specific accounting pronouncements under GAAP and are considered non-recurring fair value measurements.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded non-recurring fair value adjustments related to certain other investments without readily determinable fair values totaling $1 million, which is included within Other nonoperating income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). No such transactions were observed during the three months ended September 30, 2024, or during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

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 accompanying condensed 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 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,

Houston, Texas purchase option

On September 27, 2024, the Company provided notice to the lessor of its intention to exercise a purchase option contained in the lease agreement, which consequently became reasonably certain of exercise. This resulted in a reclassification from operating lease obligations to finance lease obligations of $44 million and an additional finance lease obligation of $45 million, for a total finance lease obligation of $89 million. The reassessment of the purchase option also resulted in a reclassification of $45 million of Operating lease right-of-use assets to Finance lease right-of-use-assets and an additional recording of $45 million of Finance lease right-of-use-assets for a total $90 million Finance

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 variable 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 Co-Investor continues to have an annual redemption right which would require the Company to redeem all, or a portion of, the outstanding Preference Shares, including all related unpaid, accrued preferential dividends in cash. Assuming the Co-Investor does not exercise its early redemption options, the maximum economic payout in order to redeem the Kloosterboer Preference Shares, including all unpaid accrued preferential dividends on October 1, 2026, would be €260 million.

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 $20 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 condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of redeemable noncontrolling interests and equity.

Subsequent to the reclassification, the liability will be accreted up to the October 1, 2026 redemption value using an effective interest method. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized $2.0 million of related expense within Interest expense, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

(15)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.

LINEAGE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Unaudited

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.

(a)Restricted stock units

Certain Plan participants were granted awards of RSUs covering shares of the Company’s common stock. Certain RSUs contain only a service vesting condition (“time-based RSUs”) and certain RSUs contain vesting conditions based on service, Company performance, and market performance (“performance-based RSUs”). Each RSU was granted in tandem with corresponding dividend equivalents. All such RSUs accrue dividend equivalents associated with the underlying stock as the Company declares dividends during the vesting period associated with the RSU. Dividend equivalents will generally be paid in cash to holders of RSUs upon the vesting of the associated RSU and will be forfeited if the RSU does not vest.

Time-based RSUs vest in equal annual installments over a one to three-year time period provided that the recipient continues to provide services to the Company through the applicable vesting date, subject to acceleration of vesting in the event of the recipient’s termination of employment due to his or her death, disability, retirement, termination by the Company without cause, termination by the recipient for good reason, a non-renewal of the recipient’s employment agreement by the Company, or a family disability, (each as defined in the applicable RSU award agreement), as applicable (a “Qualifying Termination”). The Company measures time-based RSUs granted under the 2024 Plan at grant date fair value based on the closing market price of shares of Lineage, Inc. common stock. The Company measured time-based RSUs granted under the Pre-IPO Incentive Award Plan 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. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for time-based RSUs over the applicable vesting term. Certain time-based RSUs 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 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 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). The number of performance-based RSUs that vest will range from 0% to 200% of the total number of performance-based RSUs granted, based on the attainment of the following metrics over the applicable performance period:

–Adjusted Funds from Operations per Share (“AFFO per share”) over the performance period;

–Same Warehouse NOI Growth (“SS NOI Growth”) over the performance period; and

–The total shareholder return of Lineage, Inc. common stock (“TSR”) relative to the S&P 500 Index (“Relative TSR”) over the performance period.

All earned performance-based RSUs will vest in full upon completion of the performance period, subject to continued service, with the number of vested performance-based RSUs to be determined by the Plan Administrator within 60 days of the completion of the performance period. Recipients of performance-based RSUs who do not remain a service provider for the full performance period but incur a Qualifying Termination will be eligible to vest in a number of

LINEAGE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Unaudited

performance-based RSUs based on the proportion of the performance period for which they remained an active service provider.

The Company measures performance-based RSUs 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 is the average discounted payout across all simulation paths.

The Company forecasts the likelihood of achieving the predefined AFFO per share and SS NOI Growth targets for performance-based RSUs in order to calculate the expected performance-based RSUs that will become vested. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense based on either the forecasted performance-based RSUs that will become vested (during the performance period) or the actual performance-based RSUs that become vested (at the completion of the performance period).

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
Unvested as of December 31, 2023	—	$	—	—	$	—
Awards granted in 2024	1,529,791	84.88		129,856	89.85
Awards vested in 2024	(3,454)	96.50		—	—
Awards forfeited in 2024	(14,095)	84.88		—	—
Unvested as of September 30, 2024	1,512,242	$	84.85	129,856	$	89.85

Stock-based compensation expense related to time-based RSUs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $13 million and $14 million, respectively. There was no stock-based compensation expense related to time-based RSUs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2024, there was $115 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested time-based RSUs that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1 years.

Stock-based compensation expense related to performance-based RSUs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was less than $1 million. There was no stock-based compensation expense related to performance-based RSUs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. As of September 30, 2024, there was $11 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested performance-based RSUs that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2 years.

(b)LTIP Units

Certain Plan participants were granted 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. Certain LTIP Units contain only a service vesting condition (“time-based LTIP Units”) and certain LTIP Units contain vesting conditions based on service, Company performance, and market performance (“performance-based LTIP Units”). Further description of LTIP Units is available in Note 2, Capital structure and noncontrolling interests.

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

LINEAGE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Unaudited

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.

Time-based LTIP Units vest in equal annual installments over a three year period provided that the recipient continues to provide services to the Company through the applicable vesting date, subject to acceleration of vesting in the event the recipient incurs a Qualifying Termination. The Company measures these time-based LTIP Units at grant date fair value based on the closing market price of shares of Lineage, Inc. common stock on the grant date. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for time-based LTIP Units over the applicable vesting term. Certain time-based 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 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 for the Relative TSR metric) 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 LTIP Units that vest will range from 0% to 100% of the total number of performance-based LTIP Units granted, based on the attainment of the following metrics, over the applicable performance period:

–AFFO per share over the performance period;

–SS NOI Growth over the performance period; and

–Relative TSR over the performance period.

All earned performance-based LTIP Units will vest in full upon completion of the performance period, subject to continued service, with the number of vested performance-based LTIP Units to be determined by the Plan Administrator within 60 days of the completion of the performance period. Performance-based LTIP Units held by recipients who do not remain a service provider for the full performance period but incur a Qualifying Termination will remain outstanding and be eligible to vest upon the completion of the performance period.

The Company measures performance-based LTIP Units 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 LTIP Units is the average discounted payout across all simulation paths.

The Company forecasts the likelihood of achieving the predefined AFFO per share and SS NOI Growth targets for performance-based LTIP Units in order to calculate the expected performance-based LTIP Units that will become vested. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense based on either the forecasted performance-based LTIP Units that will become vested (during the performance period) or the actual performance-based LTIP Units that become vested (at the completion of the performance period).

As of September 30, 2024, there was $76 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation cost related to unvested performance-based LTIP Units that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2 years.

(c)Stock payment awards

Certain Plan participants have been granted interests in the Company in the form of stock payment awards. Stock payment awards are fully vested shares of Lineage, Inc. common stock issued to Plan participants in exchange for services provided to the Company, or in settlement of other Company liabilities.

The Company measures these stock payment awards at grant date fair value based on the closing market price of shares of Lineage, Inc. common stock. The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for stock payment awards as incurred. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, 1,516,314 shares of Lineage, Inc. common stock were issued pursuant to stock payment awards under the 2024 Plan.

Stock-based compensation expense related to stock payment awards for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $114 million. There was no stock-based compensation expense related to stock payment awards for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company also issued stock payment awards totaling $15 million in settlement of awards that vested at IPO under the 2015 LVCP and 2021 LVCP, as described below.

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

(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 will be recognized over the vesting term of the replacement awards, plus the incremental fair value of the replacement award.

Stock-based compensation expense related to Management Profits Interests Class C units for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was less than $1 million and $4 million, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense related to Management Profits Interests Class C units for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $4 million and $8 million, respectively.

(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

LINEAGE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Unaudited

LVCP and 2021 LVCP to be improbable, and as such no compensation expense was recorded. Upon the completion of the IPO during the three months ended September 30, 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 three months ended September 30, 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 remain outstanding as of September 30, 2024.

(17)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 relating to workers’ compensation liabilities as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $48 million and $40 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 September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $12 million and $11 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.

The total included in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities relating to medical liabilities as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $14 million and $15 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 relating 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 condensed 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 adjusts

LINEAGE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Unaudited

these accruals periodically as assessment and remediation efforts progress or as additional technical or legal information become available. The Company has recorded nominal environmental liabilities in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. 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. There are no material unrecorded liabilities as of the periods ended September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. 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.

(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 September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

(e)Statesville, North Carolina

On January 10, 2020, contractors and subcontractors were working on the blast cells at the Company’s freezer warehouse in Statesville, North Carolina when an incident occurred triggering the release of anhydrous ammonia at the facility, resulting in the death of a subcontractor and injury to another subcontractor, as well as damage to customers’ goods. The involved parties have resolved the matter for $6 million due to the Company related to various expenses incurred and paid for by the Company related to the incident. The parties executed a settlement agreement on or around October 23, 2024, and the settlement payment is expected to be received in the fourth quarter of 2024. The court has been notified of the settlement, and the Company expects to file a dismissal upon receipt of settlement funds. The Company believes the ultimate outcome of this matter will not have a material adverse impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements. No material costs have been incurred in relation to this matter.

(f)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. To date, the Company has not received any claims for customer inventories losses. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a net gain of $5 million, consisting of insurance reimbursement of $18 million, net of $12 million of clean-up costs and the carrying value of the impaired assets of $1 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a net gain of $4 million, consisting of insurance reimbursement of $50 million, net of $21 million of clean-up costs and the carrying value of the impaired assets of $25 million. The net gain is presented in Restructuring, impairment, and (gain) loss on disposals in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

(19)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 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:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,

Net income (loss) per share attributable to common stockholders - basic and diluted	$	(2.44)	$	(0.26)	$	(3.54)	$	(0.30)

The Company’s potential dilutive securities have been excluded from the computation of diluted net earnings (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, 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 September 30, 2024 and 2023 are as follows:

•As described in Note 2, Capital structure and noncontrolling interests, 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 has issued certain Put Options and top-up rights as described in Note 2, Capital structure and noncontrolling interests. 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 would also represent potential common share equivalents.

•As of March 1, 2025 the sellers of MTC Logistics may 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 issued to the sellers

LINEAGE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Unaudited

in the MTC Logistics acquisition. The Operating Partnership Units that could be issued in connection with this hypothetical election represent potential common share equivalents.

•Prior to the completion of the IPO, the Preference Shares further described in Note 2, Capital structure and noncontrolling interests were convertible at the option of the Co-Investor to Operating Partnership interests or common stock of the Company, depending on whether or not certain events occurred. The Operating Partnership interests or common stock of the Company that could have been issued in connection with a hypothetical conversion represented potential common share equivalents for diluted EPS calculation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. As described in Note 2, Capital structure and noncontrolling interests, the Co-Investor elected not to exercise their right to convert the Preference Shares, and the Co-Investor will now receive cash or a variable number of shares of the Company’s common stock on October 1, 2026. The Company’s common shares that could be issued to the Co-Investor in settlement of the Preference Shares represent potential common share equivalents.

•As described in Note 15, Stock-based compensation, certain members of management were granted RSUs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. RSUs that are unvested as of September 30, 2024 represent potential common share equivalents because upon vesting, the Company will issue common shares to the awardee.

•As described in Note 15, Stock-based compensation, certain members of management and certain non-employees have been granted BGLH Restricted Units. BGLH Restricted Units that were unvested as of September 30, 2023 represented potential common share equivalents because upon vesting, the Company would have to issue common shares issued to BGLH. There were no unvested BGLH Restricted Units as of September 30, 2024.

•As described in Note 15, Stock-based compensation, certain members of management have been granted Management Profits Interests Class C units in LLH MGMT and LLH MGMT II. These Class C Units in LLH MGMT and LLH MGMT II that were unvested as of September 30, 2023 represented potential common share equivalents because upon vesting, they would be able to share in the profits of the Company, as defined in the LLH MGMT and LLH MGMT II operating agreements. Because the Class C Units did not yet share in distributions, the potential units would not be allocated any undistributed earnings for basic and diluted EPS calculations. There were no unvested Class C Units as of September 30, 2024.

On November 1, 2024, the Company, through an asset purchase agreement, acquired a warehouse and operating assets from ColdPoint Logistics Real Estate, LLC and ColdPoint Logistics Warehouse, LLC in Edgerton, Kansas, for the purchase price of $223 million. The facility provides temperature-controlled storage, handling, and other ancillary services.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Prospectus. In addition, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements, such as statements regarding our expectation for future performance, liquidity, and capital resources, that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth below and those described under “Risk Factors,” in our Prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act.

Management’s 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 experience for a well-diversified and stable customer base, each with their own unique requirements in the temperature-controlled supply chain. As of September 30, 2024, we operated an interconnected global temperature-controlled warehouse network, comprising over 85.0 million square feet and 3.0 billion cubic feet of capacity across 487 warehouses predominantly located in densely populated critical-distribution markets, with 313 in North America, 88 in Asia-Pacific, and 86 in Europe.

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

•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.

Initial Public Offering

On July 26, 2024, we closed our IPO of 56,882,051 shares of our common stock at a price of $78.00 per share, with a subsequent exercise in full by the underwriters of their option to purchase from us an additional 8,532,307 shares of common stock that closed on July 31, 2024. The net proceeds to us from the IPO were $4,873 million. In connection with the IPO, we terminated the operating services agreement between our subsidiary, Lineage Holdings, and Bay Grove Management. Additionally, we entered into a transition services agreement with Bay Grove Management, pursuant to which Bay Grove Management is expected to provide certain transition services to support capital deployment, mergers, and acquisitions activities for the three years following our IPO.

Refer to Note 2, Capital structure and noncontrolling interests in the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for more information regarding our IPO-related transactions.

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 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 handling, case-picking, order assembly and load consolidation, quality control, re-packaging, and government-approved storage and inspection, among other services.

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 of our global warehousing segment is electrical 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, and 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 administration of our global warehousing and global integrated solutions segments, including management wages and benefits, administrative, legal, business development, project management, sales, marketing, engineering, safety and compliance, food optimization, human resources, finance, accounting, network optimization, data science, and information technology personnel, transformational information technology expenses, equity incentive plans, communications and data processing, travel, professional fees, credit loss, training, office equipment, supplies, and, prior to our IPO, management fees paid to Bay Grove in accordance with the terms of the operating services agreement. Trends in general and administrative expenses are influenced by changes in headcount and compensation levels and achievement of incentive compensation targets. In connection with our IPO, we terminated the operating services agreement in order to internalize certain operating, strategic development, and financial services that were previously provided by Bay Grove under it, and entered into a transition services agreement with Bay Grove to provide certain of these services for a three-year term while we internalize such functions.

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 (see Note 2, Capital structure and noncontrolling interests to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for further detail on costs associated with our IPO). These costs are expensed as incurred. It also includes employee-related expenses

associated with acquisitions, such as acquisition-related severance and consulting agreements and certain cash-based incentive awards given to employees of legacy companies in acquisitions.

Restructuring, impairment, and (gain) loss on disposals. Our restructuring, impairment, and (gain) loss on disposals include certain contractual and negotiated severance and separation costs from exited former executives, costs relating 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.

Key Factors Affecting Our Business and Financial Results

Recent Trends in Our Global Warehousing Segment

The following are key trends emerging in our global warehousing segment:

•Strategic engagement with customers. Our strategic account management team works with our top customers to create a joint roadmap and action plan to meet their strategic supply chain needs. We have seen increased customer engagement with this approach over the last several years, a trend we expect to continue as we expand strategic customer relationships.

•Automation. We have industry-leading automation capabilities and believe our automated facilities can provide lower cost and more customized solutions to our high-case volume customers, thereby improving the customer experience and driving customer retention.

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. We believe that higher food costs continue to impact end-consumers’ buying decisions for certain commodities. As inflation eases, we expect to see relief across operational cost pressures and volumes, both on-hand and throughput.

•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, customers began rationalizing inventory levels in response to continued higher interest rates and inflation, which is driving changes in customer demand. As our customers adjust to these new demand levels, we have seen lower throughput volume across our network. Over the long-term, we believe that end-consumer demand will remain consistent with historic levels.

•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 in 2023 and 2024 have stabilized. We have generally been able to pass increased power costs through to our customers, mitigating the impact of such cost increases on our operating results.

Refer to Part II, 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.

Focus on Our Operational Effectiveness and Cost Structure

We are focused on further enhancing our operational effectiveness and cost structure. This includes the following: integrating acquired businesses and their assets onto common information technology systems; instituting key health, safety, leadership, and training programs; implementing standardized operational processes; developing and deploying proprietary and third-party operating systems; and capitalizing on the purchasing power of our network.

We employ multiple strategies to maximize labor productivity, including the following: instituting lean operating principles, driving standard work processes, visual management, just-in-time management, and quality processes; optimizing the mix of permanent and temporary team members; optimizing shifts relative to throughput; and focusing on increased engagement and retention.

We seek to maximize energy efficiency in our warehouses by using the latest technology and alternative energy generation practices. The technologies we deploy include variable frequency drives, refrigeration control systems, rapid close doors, motion sensor technology, LED lighting, and “flywheeling”— an innovative process that leverages machine learning and artificial intelligence to manage energy load based on predictions of peak demand. We also generate alternative sources of energy primarily through the deployment of solar, battery capacity, and linear generators. These initiatives have allowed us to reduce our consumption of kilowatt hours, optimize rates, and reduce overall energy costs.

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, impairment charges, general and administrative expenses, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring and impairment expense, gains and losses on sale of assets, and acquisition, transaction, and other expenses). 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 current 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 or entering development subsequent to the beginning of the current calendar year. As such, the “same warehouse” population for the period

ended September 30, 2024 includes all properties that we owned at January 1, 2023 which had both been owned and had reached “normalized operations” by January 1, 2023.

We calculate “same warehouse NOI” as revenues for the same warehouse population less its cost of operations (excluding any depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring and impairment expense, gains and losses 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 September 30, 2024.


Total warehouses(1)			468

__________________

(1)Excludes 19 warehouses in our global integrated solutions segment as of September 30, 2024. 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. We plan to expand our use of minimum storage guarantees that pay us minimum or fixed storage fees for pallet positions whether or not a minimum number of pallet positions are physically occupied. We actively seek to enter into minimum storage guarantees when establishing new customer agreements, renewing existing customer agreements or upon a change in the anticipated profile of our customer. We believe that transitioning certain customer contracts from on-demand, as-utilized structures to minimum storage guarantee structures will drive segment NOI growth and consistency by maintaining our storage revenues during periods of lower inventories.

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.

Global warehousing segment revenues were $972 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $12 million, or 1.3%, compared to $960 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in revenues was driven by an approximate $17 million increase from acquisitions and an approximate $15 million increase from our recently

completed and in-progress expansion and development projects. This growth was offset by a $15 million decrease from other non-same warehouse sites, including closed facilities, and a $5 million decrease in our same warehouse pool. The decrease in our same warehouse pool was primarily driven by lower utilization and throughput volumes, partially offset by a favorable increase in rates. In addition, the foreign currency translation of revenues earned by our foreign operations had a $3 million favorable impact compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Global warehousing segment cost of operations was $589 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $4 million, or 0.7%, compared to $593 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The cost of operations for our same warehouse pool decreased $13 million, representing decreases across labor and other warehouse costs. In addition, there was a $10 million decrease in cost of operations from other non-same warehouse sites, including closed facilities. These cost decreases were offset by increases of approximately $11 million from the additional facilities we acquired in connection with the above-mentioned acquisitions and approximately $8 million related to our recently completed and in-progress expansion and development projects. In addition, the foreign currency translation of cost of operations from our foreign operations had a $3 million unfavorable impact compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Global warehousing segment NOI was $383 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $16 million, or 4.4%, compared to $367 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The segment NOI for our same warehouse pool increased $8 million or 2.4%, attributable to revenue and cost of operations factors previously described. In addition, segment NOI was positively impacted by approximately $7 million related to our recently completed and in-process expansion and development projects as they continue to ramp up prior to stabilization and approximately $6 million related to the above-mentioned acquisitions. These were offset by a $5 million net decrease from other non-same warehouse sites, including closed facilities.

(1)Warehouse storage and warehouse services metrics exclude managed sites.

Economic occupancy at our same warehouses was 84.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of 190 basis points compared to 86.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Our economic occupancy at our same warehouses was 650 basis points higher than our corresponding average physical occupancy of 77.6%. Economic occupancy was lower than the prior year due to lower physical utilization as customers rationalized their inventory during continued economic pressures driven by higher interest rates. Same warehouse storage revenues per economic occupied pallet decreased 0.9% period-over-period, primarily driven by a change in our business profile due to customer rationalization of inventory.

Throughput pallets at our same warehouses were 11.3 million pallets for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of 1.7% from 11.5 million pallets for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was the result of lower turns due to continued economic pressures driven by higher interest rates. Same warehouse services revenue per throughput pallet increased 3.7% compared to the prior year, primarily driven by a change in our business profile due to customer rationalization of inventory.

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2024			2023			Change
	(in millions)
Global Integrated Solutions segment revenues	$	363		$	369		(1.6)	%
Global Integrated Solutions segment cost of operations	307			306			0.3	%
Global Integrated Solutions segment NOI	$	56		$	63		(11.1)	%
Global Integrated Solutions margin	15.4		%	17.1		%	(170)	bps

Global integrated solutions segment revenues were $363 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $6 million, or 1.6%, compared to $369 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was due to lower volumes and the sale of a European subsidiary which occurred in September 2023, offset by increases from acquisitions. In addition, the foreign currency translation of revenues earned by our foreign operations had a $3 million favorable impact compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Global integrated solutions segment cost of operations was $307 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $1 million, or 0.3%, compared to $306 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The net increase included the above-mentioned acquisitions, partially offset by lower costs driven by volumes, cost controls, and the above-mentioned sale of a European subsidiary. The foreign currency translation of cost of operations from our foreign operations had a $2 million unfavorable impact compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Global integrated solutions segment NOI was $56 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $7 million, or 11.1%, compared to $63 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Foreign currency translation had a $1 million favorable net impact compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Other Consolidated Operating Expenses

_______________

(1) n.m. (not meaningful) throughout this Quarterly Report is used in place of percentage changes where the change is excessive, involves a comparison between income and loss amounts, or involves a comparison to zero.

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense was $210 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $22 million, or 11.7%, compared to $188 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to information technology investments, acquisitions, and greenfield and expansion projects.

General and administrative expense. General and administrative expenses were $143 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $21 million, or 17.2%, compared to $122 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily driven by higher stock-based compensation expense related to our annual grants. We expect our general and administrative expenses to stabilize over time and generate operating leverage. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, general and administrative expenses were 10.7% and 9.2% of total revenues, respectively.

Acquisition, transaction, and other expense. Acquisition, transaction, and other expenses were $592 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $573 million compared to $19 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to costs associated with our IPO, including internalization costs and stock-based compensation expense. For further detail on costs associated with our IPO and stock-based compensation, see Note 2, Capital structure and noncontrolling interests and Note 15, Stock-based compensation to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

Restructuring, impairment, and (gain) loss on disposals. Restructuring, impairment, and (gain) loss on disposals were net expenses of $8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $4 million compared to net expenses of $4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was related to higher impairment expense primarily related to properties sold or classified as held for sale and higher severance costs. Partially offsetting these increases, the three months ended September 30, 2024 also included a net gain of $5 million related to a fire which occurred at the Company’s warehouse in Kennewick, Washington (see Note 17, Commitments and contingencies in our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for details).

Other Income (Expense)

The following table presents other items of income and expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Change
	2024		2023		%
	(in millions)
Other income (expense):
Interest expense, net	$	(82)	$	(126)	(34.9)	%
Gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt	$	(6)	$	—	n.m.
Gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions, net	$	14	$	(5)	n.m.
Equity income (loss), net of tax	$	—	$	(2)	n.m.
Other nonoperating income (expense), net	$	1	$	(19)	n.m.

Interest (expense), net. We reported a net interest expense of $82 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $44 million, or 34.9%, compared to $126 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The average effective interest rate of our outstanding debt was 5.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease from 6.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to the substantial debt repayments with IPO proceeds. When taking into account income (expense) generated from hedging instruments, the average effective interest rate of our outstanding debt was 4.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease from 4.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt. We reported a net loss on debt extinguishment of $6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, related to unamortized deferred financing costs previously capitalized for the Delayed Draw Term Loan (DDTL), which was repaid on July 26, 2024. There was no gain (loss) on debt extinguishment recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2023. For additional information regarding our debt, see Note 9, Debt in our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

Gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions, net. We reported a net foreign currency exchange gain of $14 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to a net loss of $5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in foreign currency exchange gain was due was due to more favorable foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar, with the largest impacts driven by the Euro and Australian dollar.

Equity income (loss), net of tax. We reported less than $1 million of net income (loss) from equity method investments for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to a net loss of $2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily related to our investment in Emergent Cold LatAm Holdings, LLC.

Other nonoperating income (expense), net. We reported $1 million of other nonoperating income for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $20 million compared to net expenses of $19 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized a net loss of $21 million on

the sale of Erweda BV, a European subsidiary. For additional information regarding the divestiture, see Note 4, Business combinations, asset acquisitions, and divestitures in our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

Income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $45 million, which represented an increase of $40 million from an income tax benefit of $5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The tax benefit in 2024 was principally created by the release of a $24 million valuation allowance on deferred tax assets relating to net operating losses carryforwards in the U.S., the tax-effect of pre-tax earnings in various jurisdictions, tax adjustments related to REIT activity, and withholding taxes paid in various jurisdictions. The tax expense (benefit) in 2023 was principally created by tax-effect of pre-tax earnings and losses in various jurisdictions, tax adjustments related to REIT activity, and changes to uncertain tax positions. Our income taxes are discussed in more detail in Note 8, Income taxes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) has issued Pillar Two Model Rules introducing a new global minimum tax of 15% intended to be effective on January 1, 2024. While the U.S. has not yet adopted the Pillar Two rules, various other governments around the world are enacting legislation. In 2024, we expect to incur insignificant tax expenses in connection with Pillar Two and are continuing to evaluate the potential impact on our business in future periods.

Global warehousing segment revenues were $2,907 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $25 million, or 0.9%, compared to $2,882 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The net increase was primarily driven by $47 million from acquisitions and approximately $46 million from our recently completed and in-progress expansion and development projects, partially offset by a $41 million decrease in our same warehouse pool and a $27 million decrease from other non-same warehouse sites including closed facilities. The decrease in our same warehouse pool was primarily driven by

lower utilization and throughput volumes, partially offset by a favorable increase in rates. In addition, the foreign currency translation of revenues earned by our foreign operations had a $1 million favorable impact compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Global warehousing segment cost of operations was $1,755 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $7 million, or 0.4%, compared to $1,748 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The net increase was primarily driven by $28 million from acquisitions and $25 million from our recently completed and in-progress expansion and development projects, partially offset by a $31 million decrease in our same warehouse pool and a $15 million decrease from other non-same warehouse sites including closed facilities. The decrease in our same warehouse pool was driven by lower power and other warehouse costs. The foreign currency translation of cost of operations from our foreign operations had a $1 million unfavorable impact compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Global warehousing segment NOI was $1,152 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $18 million, or 1.6%, compared to $1,134 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Global warehousing segment NOI was positively impacted by approximately $21 million related to our recently completed and in-process expansion and development projects as they continue to ramp up prior to stabilization and approximately $19 million related to the above mentioned acquisitions. These were offset by a decrease from our same warehouse pool of $10 million, or 1.0%, attributable to the revenue and cost of operations factors previously described. In addition, there was a $12 million net decrease from other non-same warehouse sites including closed facilities.

(1)Warehouse storage and warehouse services metrics exclude managed sites.

Economic occupancy at our same warehouses was 84.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of 300 basis points compared to 87.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Our economic occupancy at our same warehouses was 650 basis points higher than our corresponding average physical occupancy of 77.8%. Economic occupancy was lower than the prior year due to lower physical utilization as customers rationalize their inventory during continued economic pressures driven by higher interest rates. Same warehouse storage revenues per economic occupied pallet increased 0.3% period-over-period, primarily driven by a change in our business profile due to customer rationalization of inventory.

Throughput pallets at our same warehouses were 33.6 million pallets for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of 2.0% from 34.3 million pallets for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This decrease was the result of lower turns due to continued economic pressures driven by higher interest rates. Same warehouse services revenue per throughput pallet increased 1.6% compared to the prior year, primarily driven by a change in our business profile due to customer rationalization of inventory.

Global Integrated Solutions Segment

The following table presents the operating results of our global integrated solutions segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2024			2023			Change
	(in millions)
Global Integrated Solutions segment revenues	$	1,094		$	1,126		(2.8)	%
Global Integrated Solutions segment cost of operations	916			946			(3.2)	%
Global Integrated Solutions segment NOI	$	178		$	180		(1.1)	%
Global Integrated Solutions margin	16.3		%	16.0		%	30	bps

Global integrated solutions segment revenues were $1,094 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $32 million, or 2.8%, compared to $1,126 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was due to lower volumes and the sale of a European subsidiary which occurred in September 2023, offset by increases from acquisitions. In addition, the foreign currency translation of revenues earned by our foreign operations had a $5 million favorable impact compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Global integrated solutions segment cost of operations was $916 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $30 million, or 3.2%, compared to $946 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was due to lower volumes, cost controls, and the above-mentioned sale of a European subsidiary, offset by increases from the above-mentioned acquisitions. The foreign currency translation of cost of operations from our foreign operations had a $4 million unfavorable impact compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Global integrated solutions segment NOI was $178 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of $2 million, or 1.1%, compared to $180 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Foreign currency translation had a $1 million favorable net impact compared to nine three months ended September 30, 2023.

Other Consolidated Operating Expenses


	Nine Months Ended September 30,				Change
	2024		2023		%
	(in millions)
Other consolidated operating expense:
Depreciation and amortization expense	$	640	$	557	14.9	%
General and administrative expense	$	394	$	361	9.1	%
Acquisition, transaction, and other expense	$	612	$	45	1260.0	%
Restructuring, impairment, and (gain) loss on disposals	$	23	$	11	109.1	%

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense was $640 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $83 million, or 14.9%, compared to $557 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to information technology investments, acquisitions, and greenfield and expansion projects.

General and administrative expense. General and administrative expenses were $394 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $33 million, or 9.1%, compared to $361 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to higher stock-based compensation expense related to our annual grants and other costs associated with our information technology infrastructure and expanding operations. We expect our general and administrative expenses to stabilize over time and generate operating leverage. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, general and administrative expenses were 9.8% and 9.0% of total revenues, respectively.

Acquisition, transaction, and other expense. Acquisition, transaction, and other expenses were $612 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $567 million compared to $45 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to costs associated with our IPO, including internalization costs and stock-based compensation expense. For further detail on costs associated with our IPO and stock-based compensation, see Note 2, Capital structure and noncontrolling interests and Note 15, Stock-based compensation to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

Restructuring, impairment, and (gain) loss on disposals. Restructuring, impairment, and (gain) loss on disposals were a net expense of $23 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $12 million compared to a net expense of $11 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was related to higher impairment expense primarily related to properties sold or classified as held for sale and higher severance costs. In addition, the nine months ended September 30, 2024 included a net gain of $4 million related to a fire which occurred at the Company’s warehouse in Kennewick, Washington (see Note 17, Commitments and contingencies in our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for details).

Other Income (Expense)

The following table presents other items of income and expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.


	Nine Months Ended September 30,				Change
	2024		2023		%

Other income (expense):
Interest expense, net	$	(369)	$	(357)	3.4	%

Equity income (loss), net of tax	$	(3)	$	(2)	50.0	%
Other nonoperating income (expense), net	$	1	$	(19)	n.m.

Interest (expense), net. We reported a net interest expense of $369 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase of $12 million, or 3.4%, compared to $357 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The average effective interest rate of our outstanding debt was 6.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase from 5.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, due to higher interest expense prior to substantial debt repayments with IPO proceeds. When taking into account income (expense) generated from those hedging instruments, the average effective interest rate of our outstanding debt was 5.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase from 4.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt. Gain (loss) on debt extinguishment was a loss of $13 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as the result of various debt refinancing arrangements. There was no gain (loss) on debt extinguishment recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. For additional information regarding our debt, see Note 9, Debt in our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

Gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions, net. We reported a net foreign currency exchange gain of $5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to a net loss of $9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in foreign currency exchange gain was due to more favorable 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 a net loss from equity method investments of $3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $2 million net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in net loss was primarily related to our investment in Emergent Cold LatAm Holdings, LLC, partially offset by a gain recognized from our investment in Ndustrial.io.

Other nonoperating income (expense).We reported $1 million of other nonoperating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to net expenses of $19 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. During the nine months ended

September 30, 2023, the Company recognized a net loss of $21 million on the sale of Erweda BV, a European subsidiary. For additional information regarding the divestiture, see Note 4, Business combinations, asset acquisitions, and divestitures in our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

Income tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $48 million, which represented an increase of $40 million from the income tax benefit of $8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The tax benefit in 2024 was principally created by the release of a $24 million valuation allowance on deferred tax assets relating to net operating losses carryforwards in the U.S. which are now expected to be utilized, the tax-effect of pre-tax earnings in various jurisdictions, tax adjustments related to REIT activity, and withholding taxes paid in various jurisdictions. The tax benefit in 2023 was principally created by the tax-effect of pre-tax earnings and losses in various jurisdictions, tax adjustments related to REIT activity, and changes to uncertain tax positions. Our income taxes are discussed in more detail in Note 8, Income taxes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly 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, 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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

We calculate EBITDA for Real Estate, or EBITDAre, in accordance with the standards established by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, defined as earnings before interest income or expense,

taxes, depreciation and amortization, net loss or gain on sale of real estate, net of withholding taxes, impairment write-downs on real estate property, and adjustments to reflect our share of EBITDAre of 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.

We also 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, loss or gain on debt extinguishment and modification, impairment of investments in non-real estate, 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 but 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 three and nine months ended September 30, 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, non-real estate impairments, 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 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 condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly 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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 2024, we had $409 million of cash and cash equivalents and $1.7 billion available under our Revolving Credit Facility (net of outstanding standby letters of credit in the amount of $66 million, which reduce availability). We currently expect that our principal sources of funding will include:

•current cash balances;

•cash flows from operations;

•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;

•capital contributions;

•debt service obligations; and

•stockholder distributions.

As of September 30, 2024, 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 12 months. On February 15, 2024, we closed on our $2,400 million Delayed Draw Term Loan, the proceeds from which we used to repay our CMBS 4 loan on April 9, 2024, prior to maturity. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we used a portion of the net proceeds from our IPO to repay the Delayed Draw Term Loan, our CMBS 5 loan, and a portion of our outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, investing the remaining cash into money market funds. For more information regarding these debt facilities refer to Note 9, Debt in the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly 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.

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the board of directors of the Company declared a prorated quarterly cash dividend of $0.38 per share of common stock. The dividend was payable to shareholders of record as of September 30, 2024 and was paid on October 21, 2024. 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, representing an annualized dividend rate of $2.11 per share.

__________________

(1)Interest on our Senior Unsecured Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears.

The Senior Unsecured Notes are the joint and several obligations of Lineage Inc., Lineage OP, LP, Lineage Logistics Holdings, LLC, Lineage Logistics, LLC, certain U.S. subsidiaries that guarantee or otherwise becomes liable, as a borrower or a co-borrower or otherwise, under any of our material debt facilities and, in the case of Senior Unsecured Notes denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, Lineage Treasury Europe B.V. and certain non-U.S. subsidiaries that guarantee or otherwise becomes liable, as a borrower or a co-borrower or otherwise, under any of our material debt facilities. The Senior Unsecured Notes rank pari passu with our other senior unsecured indebtedness, including the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan A, and are subordinated to any of the obligors’ existing and future secured debt.

We may prepay the Senior Unsecured Notes in full or in part, at any time, subject to notice requirements and minimum principal amount requirements, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, and the make-whole amount determined for the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount, and accrued interest to the date of prepayment. In the event of certain changes in tax law, Lineage Logistics, LLC or Lineage Treasury Europe B.V. may prepay the Senior Unsecured Notes at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, and a modified make-whole amount and accrued interest to the date of prepayment. Upon a change of control or becoming subject to sanctions, Lineage Logistics, LLC must offer to prepay the entire unpaid principal amount of the Senior Unsecured Notes and accrued interest to the date of prepayment.

The note purchase agreements governing the Senior Unsecured Notes contain covenants that, among other things, limit our ability to incur additional debt, create liens against our assets, make acquisitions, pay dividends or distributions on our stock, repurchase our stock, merge or consolidate with another entity, transfer or sell assets, enter into transactions with affiliates, change our line of business, enter into negative pledges, and conduct activities that would result in us being subject to sanctions or violating sanctions. The note purchase agreements also require us to maintain a total leverage ratio, unsecured leverage ratio, secured leverage ratio, and fixed charge coverage ratio each quarter at the same levels as those set forth in the Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement. As of September 30, 2024, we were in compliance with our covenants under the note purchase agreements. The note purchase agreements governing the Senior Unsecured Notes also contain customary events of default, including defaults in the payment of principal, interest or fees, defaults in compliance with the covenants set forth in the note purchase agreements, cross-defaults to certain other indebtedness, and bankruptcy and other insolvency defaults.

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 relating to customer receivables was $3 million and $4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we maintained allowances for uncollectible balances of $8 million and $7 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 to ensure that our assets maintain the high quality and operational efficiency that our customers expect from us.

Maintenance Capital Expenditures

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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
(in millions)
Global warehousing	$	38	$	34	$	92	$	87
Global integrated solutions	1		9		10		18
Information technology and other	6		7		21		15
Maintenance capital expenditures	$	45	$	50	$	123	$	120

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. 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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2024		2023			2024		2023

Global integrated solutions	13		14			40		42
Repair and maintenance expenses	$	53	$	49		$	149	$	144

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.

The following table sets forth our integration capital expenditures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

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 replacement, re-rack for additional pallet positions, 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.

The following table sets forth our external growth capital investments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2024		2023			2024		2023

Information technology transformation and growth initiatives	23		21			50		56
External growth capital investments	$	153	$	108		$	431	$	391

We completed one acquisition in each of the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and three acquisitions in each of the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Refer to Note 4, Business combinations, asset acquisitions, and divestitures of the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for more information regarding current period business combinations and asset acquisitions.

The greenfield and expansion expenditures of $66 million and $197 million during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, relate primarily to projects that remain under construction as of September 30, 2024. The greenfield and expansion expenditures of $56 million and $220 during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, related primarily to projects that were completed in 2023 or are expected to be completed in 2024.

Energy and economic return initiatives include $24 million and $23 million of corporate initiatives and smaller customer driven growth projects incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Energy and economic return initiatives include $71 million and $91 million of corporate initiatives and smaller customer-driven growth projects incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

In implementing and developing new IT systems globally, we invested $23 million and $21 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $50 million and $56 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Historical Cash Flows

The following summary discussion of our cash flows is based on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and is not meant to be an all-inclusive discussion of the changes in our cash flows for the periods presented below.


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2024		2023
	(in millions)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	446	$	565
Net cash used in investing activities	$	(536)	$	(645)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	$	428	$	(10)

Operating Activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, our net cash provided by operating activities was $446 million, compared to $565 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a reduction in net income (loss) adjusted for non-cash items and unfavorable changes in working capital, most significantly in accounts payable, accrued liabilities, deferred revenue, and accounts receivable.

Investing Activities

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, cash used in investing activities was $536 million. This was driven by $486 million in purchases of property, plant, and equipment, primarily for growth capital expenditures. In addition, we invested $113 million in the acquisitions of Entrepôt du Nord Inc, Luik Natie, and Eurofrigor. This was partially offset by $50 million of insurance proceeds related to a fire which occurred at the Company’s warehouse in Kennewick, Washington (see Note 17, Commitments and contingencies in our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for details).

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, cash used in investing activities was $645 million. This was driven by $605 million in purchases of property, plant, and equipment, primarily for growth capital expenditures, partially offset by $13 in proceeds from the sale of assets. In addition, we invested $29 million in our investment in Emergent Cold LatAm Holdings, LLC and $24 million in acquisitions, net of cash acquired.

Refer to Note 4, Business combinations, asset acquisitions, and divestitures in the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report for more information regarding current period business combinations and asset acquisitions.

Financing Activities

Our net cash provided by financing activities was $428 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Cash provided by financing activities during 2024 was primarily driven by $4,879 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock in our IPO (net of equity raise costs) and $540 million of net borrowings on revolving credit lines, partially offset by outflows of $4,606 million for net repayments of long-term debt and finance leases, $138 million for distributions, $75 million for redemption of OPEUs, $46 million for payment of deferred consideration liabilities, $45 million for financing fees, $46 million for the repurchase of common shares for employee income taxes on stock-based compensation, and $25 million for redemption of common stock.

For further detail on transactions associated with our IPO, refer to Note 2, Capital structure and noncontrolling interests in the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

Our net cash used in financing activities was $10 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Cash used in financing activities during 2023 consisted primarily of $72 million for repayments of long-term debt and finance leases, $33 million for payment of deferred and contingent consideration liabilities, and $35 million for distributions. The outflows were partially offset by $142 million of capital contributions (net of equity raise costs) and $12 million of net borrowings on revolving credit lines.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had no material off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The condensed 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.

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates as described in our Prospectus.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for more information regarding applicable new accounting pronouncements.

Item 3. 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 September 30, 2024, we had $2,735 million of variable-rate debt under our revolver and term loan agreements bearing interest at 4.91%, plus a margin of 92.5 basis points. We have entered into interest rate hedges to effectively lock in the floating rates on $2,500 million of our variable-rate debt at a weighted average rate of 1.40% plus a margin of 92.5 basis points. These hedges include swapping $1,000 million of borrowings under the Term Loan to a weighted average fixed interest rate of 0.49% plus a margin of 92.5 basis points through 2025 and 2% caps (plus margin) totaling $1,500 million on other variable-rate debt that expire in January 2026. As a result, our exposure to changes in interest rates as of September 30, 2024 primarily consists of our $324 million of unhedged variable rate debt. As of September 30, 2024, one-month term and daily SOFR were approximately 5.0%, therefore 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 $3 million. A 100 basis point decrease in market interest rates would result in a decrease in interest of approximately $3 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 $390 million as of September 30, 2024.

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 condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly 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 sheet at fair value.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have 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) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosures controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2024 due to the existence of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, as described below, which continues to exist as of September 30, 2024. Notwithstanding the material weakness described below, management believes the condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods covered by and included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

As previously reported in our Prospectus, in connection with its audit of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, our independent registered public accounting firm identified a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting. 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. The identified material weakness arises from our failure to timely complete our risk assessment and design, implement and/or effectively operate controls for a sufficient period of time.

We have implemented measures and are actively engaged in remediation efforts to address this material weakness, including the hiring of additional internal resources and the engagement of third-party specialists. Designing and implementing an effective system of internal control over financial reporting is a continuous effort that requires significant resources, including the expenditure of a significant amount of time by senior members of our management team. We will be required to document and test our internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, so that our management can certify as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting beginning with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2025. The material weakness will not be considered remediated until the relevant controls are designed, implemented, and operate for a sufficient period of time, and management has tested and concluded that these controls are operating effectively.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than remediation efforts described above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified during the period covered by this report that have 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).

Part II - Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company, from time to time and in the normal course of business, is party to various claims, lawsuits, arbitrations, and regulatory actions. In the opinion of management, we are not currently party to any legal proceedings that would have a material impact on our business, financial condition, or results of operations, nor is a property of the Company subject to any material pending legal proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in “Risk Factors” included in the Prospectus.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
