Many of the warehouses in their\u00a0real estate portfolio have been modernized to reduce their\u00a0power costs and increase their competitive position through reliable temperature-control systems and processes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Financials:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Their total revenues were $1.017 billion, $1.027 billion, $1.039 billion, $1.057 billion, and $1.080 billion, and their net income (loss) was ($28.1 million), ($30.8 million), ($42.4 million), ($21.2 million), and $4.9 million in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016, respectively.
