Industry and ESG leadership: catalyzing and leading the way for positive change to benefit human health and society

  • In June 2022, we released our 2021 ESG Report, which highlights our longstanding ESG leadership. The report details our efforts to advance our ESG impact, including by driving high-performance building design and operations to reduce carbon emissions, mitigating climate-related risk in our real estate portfolio, and investing in and providing essential infrastructure for sustainable agrifoodtech companies. It also showcases Alexandria’s comprehensive efforts to catalyze the health, wellness, safety, and productivity of our employees, tenants, local communities, and the world through the built environment and beyond, including through our visionary social responsibility endeavors. Notable initiatives presented in the report that highlight our innovative approach include:
    • Furthering the development of our approach to physical and transitional climate-related risk by initiating a process to assess and understand potential physical risk and pathways to mitigate and adapt to climate change, as well as preparing for the transition to a low-carbon economy and continuing to develop science-based targets;
    • Implementing innovative solutions to minimize fossil fuel use in our state-of-the-art laboratory development projects, such as at 325 Binney Street, which will harness geothermal energy to target a LEED Zero Energy certification and a 92% reduction in fossil fuel use as a key component of its design to be the most sustainable laboratory building in Cambridge; at 751 Gateway Boulevard, which is pursuing electrification and is tracking to be the first all-electric laboratory building in South San Francisco; and at the Alexandria Center® for Life Science – South Lake Union mega campus in Seattle, where the Company is incorporating an innovative wastewater heat recovery system; and
    • Increasing our investment in renewable electricity to mitigate carbon emissions in our existing asset base, including through a large-scale solar power purchase agreement that will significantly increase the supply of renewable electricity to our Greater Boston market starting in 2024.

Guidance

June 30, 2022

(Dollars in millions)

The following updated guidance is based on our current view of existing market conditions and assumptions for the year ending December 31, 2022. There can be no assurance that actual amounts will not be materially higher or lower than these expectations. Also, refer to our discussion of “forward-looking statements” on page 8 of this Earnings Press Release for additional details.

Key changes to our guidance include the reduction of an aggregate $635 million to our uses of capital, comprising a $350 million reduction in acquisitions and a $285 million reduction in construction spending. This reduction was offset by construction spending from January through June 2022, which increased by $335 million to slightly above the high end of our previous guidance range, as a result of construction spending associated with the leasing of our development and redevelopment projects under construction and our near-term pipeline projects. In addition, the midpoint of our guidance for funds from operations per share, as adjusted increased by three cents driven by strong same property performance and general and administrative savings in 2H22 resulting from the retirement of Stephen A. Richardson, our Co-Chief Executive Officer.

Refer to “Key capital events” on page 3 of this Earnings Press Release for additional details. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we entered into new forward equity sales agreements aggregating $2.4 billion to sell 12.3 million shares of our common stock. During 1Q22, we settled a portion of these forward equity sales agreements by issuing 3.2 million shares and received net proceeds of $648.2 million. We expect to issue 9.0 million shares to settle our remaining outstanding forward equity sales agreements and receive net proceeds of approximately $1.7 billion in 2022.

We expect this forecasted cash at December 31, 2022 to result in a reduction of our 2023 debt capital needs.

The $10 million reduction in our guidance range for straight-line rent revenue includes reductions attributable to the following items:

    • Lower acquisitions with operating activities in 2022 as well as the $350 million reduction in the midpoint of our guidance range for acquisitions; and
    • Higher dispositions compared to sales of partial interest.
  • Acceleration of $2 million contractual rental payments due under one long-term lease in our Cambridge/Inner Suburbs submarket.
  • Early terminations of below-market leases:
    • Includes two spaces aggregating 141,649 RSF in two markets, of which 51% has been re-leased at aggregate rental rate increases of 114% and 140% (cash basis). We expect the re-leased spaces to take occupancy by 3Q22.

About the Company

Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. (NYSE:ARE), an S&P 500® urban office real estate investment trust (“REIT”), is the first, longest-tenured, and pioneering owner, operator, and developer uniquely focused on collaborative life science, agtech, and technology campuses in AAA innovation cluster locations, with a total market capitalization of $33.7 billion and an asset base in North America of 74.1 million square feet (“SF”) as of June 30, 2022. The asset base in North America includes 41.1 million RSF of operating properties and 5.9 million RSF of Class A properties undergoing construction, 9.9 million RSF of near-term and intermediate-term development and redevelopment projects, and 17.2 million SF of future development projects. Founded in 1994, Alexandria pioneered this niche and has since established a significant market presence in key locations, including Greater Boston, the San Francisco Bay Area, New York City, San Diego, Seattle, Maryland, and Research Triangle. Alexandria has a longstanding and proven track record of developing Class A properties clustered in urban life science, agtech, and technology campuses that provide our innovative tenants with highly dynamic and collaborative environments that enhance their ability to successfully recruit and retain world-class talent and inspire productivity, efficiency, creativity, and success. Alexandria also provides strategic capital to transformative life science, agtech, and technology companies through our venture capital platform. We believe our unique business model and diligent underwriting ensure a high-quality and diverse tenant base that results in higher occupancy levels, longer lease terms, higher rental income, higher returns, and greater long-term asset value.
