Management from cold storage facility operator
Americold Realty Trust (NYSE: COLD) said declines in protein inventories as well as other inventory-related supply chain disruptions are providing headwinds.
The Atlanta-based company reported adjusted funds from operations Thursday of 37 cents per share, 3 cents higher than the consensus estimate.
On a conference call with analysts, management said occupancy and flow-through have been pressured by reduced protein volumes and food services activity. The issue with proteins has been supply related as food manufacturers and producers, which normally operate with a 30-day supply, have seen stocks decline to a week in some instances.
Management said poultry supply is down more than 10%, with supply of other proteins off by as much as 30%.
