  • Second-quarter Revenue increased 0.8% to $1.361 billion, with a GAAP net loss of $32 million, or $(0.13) per diluted common share, while Adjusted EBITDA was $320 million, down 1.8%.
  • Same-warehouse physical occupancy increased 90 basis points year over year, an improvement management said reflects better utilization even amid uneven inventory conditions.

Overview

Lineage, Inc.'s (Nasdaq:LINE) $0.5325 quarterly dividend yields approximately 5.88% and continued unchanged through a second quarter in which same-warehouse physical occupancy improved 90 basis points year over year, even as AFFO per share declined 6.2% to $0.76. The gap between improving physical utilization and declining AFFO reflects the distinction between operating stabilization and the non-GAAP Earnings measures management uses to assess recurring performance.

Dividend Program and Shareholder Returns

Lineage's board declared a Cash Dividend of $0.5325 per share for the third quarter of 2026 on September 15, 2026, payable October 21 to shareholders of record September 30. The rate has remained $0.5325 per share, equal to $2.13 annualized.

About the Company

Lineage is the world's largest global temperature-controlled Warehouse REIT, with a network of 498 strategically located facilities totaling approximately 88 million square feet and approximately 3.1 billion cubic feet of capacity across North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific as of June 30, 2026.

Financial Performance Behind the Payout

Lineage reported second-quarter revenue increased 0.8% to $1.361 billion. GAAP net loss was $32 million, or $(0.13) per diluted common share. Adjusted EBITDA was $320 million, down 1.8%, with an adjusted EBITDA Margin of 23.5%. AFFO was $198 million, down 6.2%, or $0.76 per share, also down 6.2%. Management said same-warehouse physical occupancy increased 90 basis points year over year, indicating improving utilization even as the company continued to face uneven inventory conditions.

Improved Utilization Has Not Yet Translated Into Non-GAAP Earnings Growth

The 90-basis-point improvement in same-warehouse physical occupancy was a key operating indicator management highlighted during the quarter, though AFFO per share fell 6.2% and Adjusted EBITDA declined 1.8%, showing that improved physical utilization had not yet translated into year-over-year growth in the company's principal non-GAAP earnings measures. Management's discussion emphasized adapting the network to changing inventory levels and customer requirements, a network-flexibility approach distinct from the quarter's headline occupancy and earnings figures. The GAAP net loss of $0.13 per share is not directly comparable with AFFO of $0.76 per share, given the differing treatment of Depreciation and other non-cash items between the two measures.

Outlook

Lineage's dividend has remained $0.5325 per share, equal to $2.13 annualized. Occupancy trends following the 90-basis-point improvement this quarter, AFFO per share trajectory relative to the 6.2% year-over-year decline, and continued adaptation of the network to customer inventory conditions are the relevant considerations.
