Our operating segments are aggregated into three reportable segments: Warehouse, Transportation, and Third-party managed.
•Warehouse. Our core business is our Warehouse segment, where we provide temperature-controlled warehouse storage and related handling and other warehouse services. We collect rent and storage fees to store customer’s frozen and perishable food and other products. Our handling services optimize our customer’s product movement through the cold chain, including placement, case-picking, blast freezing, e-commerce fulfillment, and other recurring handling services.
Significant Warehouse segment expenses include labor, power, other facilities costs, and other service costs.
Labor - Labor, the most significant part of warehouse expenses, covers wages, benefits, workers' compensation.
Power - The cost of power, also a significant cost of operations, fluctuates based on the price of power in the regions that our facilities operate and the required temperature zone or freezing required.
Other Facilities Costs - Other facilities costs include utilities other than power, property taxes and insurance, sanitation, repairs and maintenance, operating lease rent charges, security, and other related facilities costs.
Other Services Costs - Other services costs include equipment costs, warehouse consumables (e.g. shrink-wrap), employee protective equipment, warehouse administration and other related services costs.
•Transportation. In our Transportation segment, we broker, manage or operate transportation of frozen and perishable food and other products for our customers. Our services include consolidation (i.e., combining products for efficient shipment), freight under management services (i.e., arranging and overseeing transportation of customer inventory) and dedicated transportation, each designed to improve efficiency and reduce transportation and logistics costs to our customers.
Transportation services cost of operations are primarily affected by third-party carrier costs, which are influenced by carrier factors like driver and equipment availability. In select markets, we use our drivers and assets, incurring costs like wages, fuel, tolls, insurance, and maintenance to operate these assets.
•Third-Party Managed. Under our Third-Party Managed segment, we manage warehouses on behalf of third parties and provide warehouse management services to leading food manufacturers and retailers in their owned facilities.
Third-party managed services cost of operations, which are recognized on a pass through basis, primarily consist of labor charges similar to those described above as a component of warehouse costs of operations.
The accounting policies used in the preparation of our reportable segments financial information are the same as those used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements. Our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is our Chief Executive Officer, who uses segment contribution to evaluate segment performance and to allocate resources. The CODM considers budget-to-actual variances on a monthly, quarterly, and annual basis using the segment profit or loss measure when making decisions about allocating capital and personnel to the segments. The CODM also uses the segment profit or loss measure to assess the performance for each segment by comparing the results and return on specific assets of within each segment with one another and industry competitors.
Segment contribution metrics help investors understand revenues, costs, and earnings among service types. Segment contribution is calculated as earnings before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and excluding corporate Selling, general, and administrative expense; Acquisition, cyber incident, and other, net; Impairment of indefinite and long-lived assets; Net loss (gain) from sale of real estate and all components of non-operating other income and expense.
Selling, general, and administrative functions support all the business segments. Therefore, the related expense is not allocated to segments as the chief operating decision maker does not use it to evaluate segment performance and to allocate resources. Segment contribution is not a measurement of financial performance under U.S. GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to operating income. The Company has not disclosed assets by reportable segments, as asset information is not used by our chief operating decision maker to facilitate resource allocations.

About Segments Disclosures
Segment disclosures break a company into its reportable operating units, revealing revenue, profit, and asset allocation that consolidated financial statements obscure. Under ASC 280, segments must match how the chief operating decision maker views the business, providing a window into internal management structure and resource allocation priorities.
Key signals: compare segment margins to identify which units drive profitability and which destroy value. Watch for changes in the number of reportable segments — segment aggregation or disaggregation often coincides with strategic shifts or attempts to obscure declining performance. Intersegment elimination patterns reveal internal pricing practices. The reconciliation between segment totals and consolidated figures exposes corporate overhead allocation and unallocated items. Geographic revenue concentration highlights regulatory and currency exposure. Compare segment-level capital expenditure against segment revenue to assess where management is investing for future growth versus harvesting existing assets.
