Subsequent event

  • In October 2023, we recognized a real estate impairment charge of approximately $90.8 million to reduce the carrying amounts of two non-laboratory properties located in our Greater Boston market to their current fair values, less costs to sell. We initially acquired these industrial and self-storage properties with an intention to entitle the site as a life science campus, demolish the properties upon expiration of the existing in-place leases, and ultimately develop life science properties. Since our acquisition, the macroeconomic environment has changed. Upon our reevaluation of the project’s financial outlook and its alignment with our mega campus strategy, we decided not to proceed with this project. The impairment charge was recognized upon meeting the criteria for classification as held for sale. We expect to complete the sale of these properties in 4Q23.

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

    • Alexandria will present a mission-critical panel, titled “A National Imperative to Combat Mental Illness and Addiction,” featuring leading advocates of mental health and addiction recovery, congressmen and veterans Seth Moulton (MA-6) and Michael Waltz (FL-6) and Navy SEAL Foundation CEO Robin King, at the 2023 Galien Forum USA. The Galien Forum will take place at the Alexandria Center® for Life Science – New York City.
    • Mr. Marcus, as a member of the Prix Galien USA Awards esteemed jury again this year, will honor transformational innovations in life science. He, alongside other influential life science leaders, will serve on the Prix Galien USA Awards committee responsible for evaluating and recognizing the Best Digital Health Solution; Best Medical Technology; Best Incubators, Accelerators and Equity; and Best Startup.
  • In October 2023, Alexandria’s sustained ESG leadership and performance was reinforced by several achievements in the 2023 GRESB Real Estate Assessment: (i) 4 Star Ratings in the operating asset and development benchmarks, (ii) our seventh consecutive Green Star designation, and (iii) our sixth consecutive “A” disclosure score, with a perfect score of 100 and a #1 ranking for our best-in-class transparency around ESG practices and reporting in 2023. GRESB is one of the leading global ESG benchmarks for real estate and infrastructure investments.
  • In September 2023, Alexandria received the Cambridge Chamber of Commerce’s 2023 Visionary Award for developing 325 Binney Street, designed to be the most sustainable laboratory building in Cambridge and selected by Moderna as its new global headquarters and R&D center. The Chamber’s annual awards recognize innovators from the business, institutional, and non-profit communities that are effecting change and making an extraordinary, positive impact on people’s lives in Cambridge and beyond.
  • In August 2023, 685 Gateway Boulevard, an amenities hub designed at the forefront of sustainability in our South San Francisco submarket, was awarded a 2023 AIA California Design Award in the Climate Action category.

Guidance 
September 30, 2023
(Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

Guidance for 2023 has been updated to reflect our current view of existing market conditions and assumptions for the year ending December 31, 2023. 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 an increase to the midpoint of our guidance for funds from operations per share, as adjusted by two cents driven by the accelerated delivery of our under construction 462,100 RSF Class A+ property at 325 Binney Street that is now set to deliver to Moderna, Inc. in November 2023 and general and administrative savings after September 15, 2023, resulting from the resignation of Dean A. Shigenaga, our President and Chief Financial Officer. Additionally, changes to our key sources and uses of capital include a $100 million decrease to our guidance range for dispositions and sales of partial interests and a corresponding $100 million increase to our guidance range for incremental debt for the year ending December 31, 2023. These updates are primarily due to changes in the mix and timing of dispositions pending and under executed letters of intent or purchase and sales agreements that are expected to close in 4Q23.

Effective on September 15, 2023, Dean A. Shigenaga resigned from his positions as President and Chief Financial Officer and is expected to remain a full-time employee through December 31, 2023, and a part-time employee thereafter. In connection with Mr. Shigenaga’s resignation, stock-based compensation expense aggregating $15.6 million was accelerated through December 31, 2023, of which $1.9 million was recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the year ending December 31, 2023 was partially offset by a reduction to his compensation after September 15, 2023.

(6)

The changes to our guidance ranges for capitalization of interest and interest expense for the year ending December 31, 2023 are primarily due to a five-week change in the delivery of our 140 First Street redevelopment project in our Cambridge submarket and a two-and-a-half-month change in the timing of our disposition of 268,023 RSF in a 660,034 RSF near-term development project at 421 Park Drive in our Fenway submarket. Both the delivery and the partial disposition were completed during 3Q23.
