Ongoing successful execution of Alexandria's 2024 capital strategy (continued)

  • In September 2024, we completed the following transactions with our longstanding tenant, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center ("Fred Hutch"), in the Lake Union submarket:
    • Sale of 1165 Eastlake Avenue East, a fully leased 100,086 RSF single-tenant Class A+ life science facility that was developed in 2021. We sold the property for $150.0 million, or $1,499 per RSF, at strong capitalization rates of 4.7% and 4.9% (cash basis). Upon completion of the sale, we recognized a gain on sale of real estate aggregating $21.5 million.
    • Fred Hutch executed early renewals aggregating 117,479 RSF at our 1201 and 1208 Eastlake Avenue East properties, including a 15-year lease extension at 1201 Eastlake Avenue East.
    • Our prior joint venture partner sold their partial interest ownership in each of 1201 and 1208 Eastlake Avenue East to Fred Hutch. Our ownership interest in both properties remains unchanged at 30.0%. This sale, lease extensions, and new joint venture affirm Fred Hutch's commitment to South Lake Union.

Alexandria's development and redevelopment pipeline delivered incremental annual net operating income of $21 million commencing during 3Q24 and is expected to deliver incremental annual net operating income aggregating $510 million primarily by 1Q28

  • During 3Q24, we placed into service development and redevelopment projects aggregating 316,691 RSF that are 100% leased across multiple submarkets and delivered incremental annual net operating income of $21 million. 3Q24 deliveries included 250,000 RSF at 9820 Darnestown Road on the Alexandria Center® for Life Science – Shady Grove mega campus in our Rockville submarket.

Subsequent events

  • In October 2024, we agreed to sell four properties located in our Greater Boston market for a sales price of $369.4 million to the current tenant of the properties with whom we have a long-established relationship. The sales price represents capitalization rates of 8.5% and 6.3% (cash basis) based upon net operating income and net operating income (cash basis), respectively, for 3Q24 annualized. These properties, acquired primarily during 2020–2021, are currently 100% leased with a weighted-average remaining lease term of 18 years. In October 2024, we recognized an impairment charge aggregating $40.9 million to reduce the carrying amounts of these properties by approximately 10% to the expected sales price less costs to sell. Our decision to dispose of these properties is based on their non-strategic location and the significant capital that the expected sales proceeds provide for immediate reinvestment into our development and redevelopment pipeline.
  • In October 2024, we agreed to sell five operating properties aggregating 203,223 RSF and land parcels aggregating 1.5 million SF in our Sorrento Mesa and University Town Center submarkets to buyers that are expected to develop residential properties on these sites for an aggregate sales price of approximately $314.0 million. In October 2024, we recognized impairment charges aggregating $65.9 million to reduce the carrying amounts of these properties to the expected aggregate sales price less costs to sell. Our decision to dispose of these assets, which are not integral to our mega campus strategy, is primarily based on the substantial capital that the sales proceeds will provide for immediate reinvestment into our development and redevelopment pipeline.

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

  • In September 2024, Alexandria was named one of the World's Most Trustworthy Companies by Newsweek.

We do not expect to issue additional equity in 2024 beyond the existing forward equity sales agreements outstanding.

(6)

In July 2024, we executed an amendment to our existing ground lease agreement at the Alexandria Technology Square® mega campus in our Cambridge submarket, which requires that we prepay our entire rent obligation for the extended lease term aggregating $270.0 million in two equal installments during the fourth quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025.

(7)

The increase in cash expected to be held at December 31, 2024 is primarily due to changes in the mix and timing of pending dispositions that are subject to non-refundable deposits or subject to executed letters of intent and/or purchase and sale agreements that are expected to close in 4Q24. This cash is expected to reduce our 2025 debt capital needs.

(8)

Represents $1.0 billion of unsecured senior notes payable issued in February 2024. Subject to market conditions, we may seek additional opportunities in 2024 to fund all or a portion of the proceeds necessary for the repayment of our $600.0 million of 3.45% unsecured senior notes payable due on April 30, 2025 through the issuance of additional unsecured senior notes payable that is not assumed in our current 2024 guidance.

(9)

Reduction in the midpoint of our guidance range for straight-line rent revenue by $22 million is primarily attributable to (i) the write-off of a deferred rent receivable of $9 million related to the lease termination and a payment of $10 million from a tenant at 409 Illinois Street in our Mission Bay submarket, a 234,249 RSF property owned by our consolidated real estate joint venture for which we have an ownership interest of 25%, and (ii) a change in the expected stabilization date from 4Q24 to 1Q25 at our fully leased development project at 230 Harriet Tubman Way in our South San Francisco submarket as reported in our 2Q24 Earnings Press Release and Supplemental Information.

(10)

Reduction in the midpoint of our guidance range for general and administrative expense by $5 million is primarily attributable to the realization of savings associated with overall efficiencies, including enhanced cost control measures, incremental use of technology, streamlined processes, and optimization of execution in connection with the sale of non-core assets not integral to our mega campus strategy.

(11)

Represents realized gains and losses included in funds from operations per share – diluted, as adjusted, and excludes significant impairments realized on non-real estate investments, if any. Refer to "Investments" in the Supplemental Information for additional details.

(1)

Upon completion of the sale, we recognized a gain on sale of real estate aggregating $21.5 million.

(2)

The property was leased to a single tenant with a July 2024 lease expiration and had annual net operating income of $18.6 million based on 2Q24 annualized. This property was previously considered to be a potential development project upon expiration of the in-place non-laboratory space lease.

(3)

Dispositions completed during the three months ended September 30, 2024 had annual net operating income of $26.5 million (based on 2Q24 annualized) with a weighted-average disposition date of July 28, 2024 (weighted by net operating income for 2Q24 annualized).

(4)

Demonstrating the long-term enduring value of our laboratory facilities, Alexandria successfully operated our only asset in the Northern Virginia submarket from its acquisition in 1997 (prior to our IPO) through its sale in October 2024. Upon completion of the sale, we recognized a gain on sale of real estate aggregating $37.1 million.

(5)

Refer to "Subsequent events" in the Earnings Press Release for additional details.

(6)

Pending dispositions subsequent to October 21, 2024 have estimated annual net operating income of approximately $95.8 million (based on 3Q24 annualized) with a weighted-average non-core estimated stand-alone disposition date of December 5, 2024 (weighted by net operating income for 3Q24 annualized). Approximately half of our pending dispositions are non-core stabilized stand-alone properties with weighted-average capitalization rates of 8.5% and 7.0% (cash basis), and the remaining half are land and non-stabilized properties that have vacancy or significant near-term lease expirations that will require capital to re-tenant, including one building with approximately 72% of non-laboratory space.
