| Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
| General | General The Company Americold Realty Trust, Inc. together with its subsidiaries (“ART”, “Americold”, the “Company”, “us” or “we”) is a Maryland corporation that operates as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Americold is a global leader in temperature-controlled logistics and real estate, supporting the safe, efficient movement of food worldwide. We connect producers, processors, distributors, and retailers. Leveraging deep industry expertise, advanced technology, and sustainable practices, Americold delivers reliable cold storage and transportation solutions that create lasting value for customers and communities. As of June 30, 2026, the Company operated 224 warehouses globally, totaling approximately 1.4 billion cubic feet, with 179 warehouses in North America, 23 warehouses in Europe, 20 warehouses in Asia-Pacific, and 2 warehouses in South America. As of June 30, 2026, our business includes two primary business segments: Warehouse and Transportation. We also have a minority interest in one joint venture: RSA Cold Holdings Limited (the “RSA joint venture”), which operates 2 temperature-controlled warehouses in Dubai. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all disclosures associated with the Company’s Consolidated Annual Financial Statements included in its 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with the referenced annual report. In the opinion of management, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation. Significant adjustments which are not considered normal or recurring in nature have been disclosed within Note 3 - Transactions, Strategic Initiatives and Other Costs, Net to these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries where the Company exerts control. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. Investments in which the Company does not have control, and is not the primary beneficiary of a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”), but where the Company exercises significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of (1) assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and (2) revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Certain estimates, including those related to the recoverability of long-lived assets, require significant judgment and are subject to uncertainty, and actual results may differ from those estimates. Segment Reorganization As of January 1, 2026, the Company revised the operating segment information regularly provided to the Company's Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”) to combine the Warehouse and the former Third- party managed operating segments. As a result of this change, the Company now has two reportable operating segments: Warehouse and Transportation. All prior period comparative financial information has been recast to reflect the revised segment structure. See Note 10 - Segment Information for additional information of the Company's reportable segments. Properties Held for Sale As of June 30, 2026, the Company had eight properties, located in North America, held for sale contained within Property, buildings, and equipment – net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Such assets are measured at a carrying value of $197.7 million, as the carrying value did not exceed the estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell as of June 30, 2026. The Company expects these properties to be sold within one year. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized $309.6 million of impairment charges within Impairment of long-lived assets on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations which is primarily associated with a mutual agreement with a customer to wind-down operations at our Lancaster, PA and Plainville, CT facilities. The impairment charges were measured based on the estimated fair value of the real estate assets. Fair value was determined using observable inputs where available, including underlying real estate assets, as well as unobservable inputs. The fair value measurements were classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy further disclosed in Note 6 - Fair Value Measurements within these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Significant unobservable inputs included estimated market values per cubic foot, which ranged from approximately $7.35 to $8.30 per cubic foot. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded impairment charges of $5.2 million primarily related to the exit or anticipated exit of certain warehouse operations. Joint Venture Activity On May 7, 2026, the Company announced the signing of a joint venture agreement with EQT Partners (“EQT”), one of the world’s largest private equity investors, to create a new North American joint venture focused on the ownership, operation, and development of high-quality cold storage warehouse facilities. Under the terms of the agreement, EQT and the Company will hold 70% and 30% equity interests, respectively, in the new venture. At inception, the Company will contribute 12 cold storage facilities to the joint venture and expects to receive proceeds from such transfer, which will be used to pay down outstanding indebtedness of the Company. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the RSA joint venture repaid its outstanding loan balance of $23.4 million. Cash proceeds from the repayment were included in Net cash used in investing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Foreign Currency Related Transactions Exchange rate adjustments resulting from foreign currency transactions are recognized in “Net (loss) income” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, and to a lesser extent Unrealized net gain (loss) on foreign currency for the remeasurement of third party liabilities designated as net investment hedges which are further described in Note 5- Derivatives within these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Exchange rate adjustments resulting from the translation of financial statements are recognized in “Unrealized net gain (loss) on foreign currency” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries operating outside the United States with a functional currency other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars using period-end exchange rates and income statement accounts are translated at weighted average exchange rates. For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the amount of foreign currency remeasurement recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within “Other, net” was immaterial. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the amount of foreign currency remeasurement recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within “Other, net” was gain of $4.6 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the amount of foreign currency remeasurement recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within “Other, net” was immaterial. For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the amount of foreign currency translation recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss within “Unrealized net gain (loss) on foreign currency” was a gain of $4.7 million and a loss of $13.2 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the amount of foreign currency translation recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss within “Unrealized net gain (loss) on foreign currency” was a gain of $9.5 million and a loss of $19.1 million, respectively. Recent Rules and Accounting Pronouncements In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, “Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”. This ASU requires an entity to disclose the amounts of employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization included in each relevant expense caption. It also requires an entity to include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current GAAP in the same disclosure. Additionally, it requires an entity to disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively, and to disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. The amendments in the ASU are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. An entity may apply the amendments prospectively for reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the planned method of adoption as well as the impact of this standard on our Consolidated Financial Statements and the related footnote disclosures. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software. This standard eliminates the prescriptive “project stage” model in ASC 350-40, clarifies the threshold for when entities begin capitalizing software development costs, and requires that disclosure requirements under ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment – Overall, also apply to capitalized software costs regardless of presentation. ASU 2025-06 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or under a modified transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the method of adoption as well as the overall impact of this guidance but does not expect its adoption to have a material effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements or related footnote disclosures. In December 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU, “Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements”. This ASU incorporates a disclosure principle that requires entities to disclose events and changes that occur after the end of the most recent fiscal year that have a material impact on the entity, as well as clarifies the applicability of interim disclosure requirements. This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied prospectively or retrospectively to any or all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating when it will adopt the ASU and the impact of this guidance but does not expect its adoption to have a material effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements or related footnote disclosures. In May 2026, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ASU 2026-02, Environmental Credits and Environmental Credit Obligations (Topic 818), which establishes recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure requirements for environmental credits and environmental credit obligations. The amendments in ASU 2026-02 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, including interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the provisions of ASU 2026-02, including the applicability of the guidance to the Company's environmental credit activities, and is assessing the impact that adoption of the standard may have on its Consolidated Financial Statements or related footnote disclosures. All other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued, but not yet effective are currently being evaluated and at this time are not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
