On January 1, 2018, we adopted a new accounting standard that requires us, on a prospective basis, to present certain equity investments at fair value with changes in fair value reflected in earnings. See "Items Included in Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Alexandria's Common Stockholders" on the next page for additional information.

A REIT industry-leading, high-quality tenant roster

52% of annual rental revenue from investment-grade or publicly traded large cap tenants.

Continuation of strong rental rate growth and leasing activity

Strong rental rate increases of 24.1% and 14.1% (cash basis) for 2018. The rental rate increase of 14.1% (cash basis) represents our highest annual increase during the past 10 years. Our leasing activity aggregating 4.7 million RSF for 2018 represents the second highest annual leasing activity in our history.

Sale of partial interest in core Class A property

In February 2019, we executed a purchase and sale agreement to sell a 60% interest in 75/125 Binney Street, a Class A property in our Cambridge submarket, for a sales price of $438 million, or $1,880 per RSF, representing a 4.3% capitalization rate on 4Q18 net operating income (cash basis), annualized. We expect to complete this partial interest sale in 1Q19 and to reinvest these proceeds into our value-creation pipeline.

2018 credit rating improvement

During 2018, Moody's Investors Service upgraded our corporate issuer credit rating to Baa1/Stable from Baa2/Stable and S&P Global Ratings raised its credit outlook for our corporate credit rating to BBB/Positive from BBB/Stable.

Increased common stock dividend

Common stock dividend declared for 4Q18 of $0.97 per common share, up 4 cents, or 4.3%, over 3Q18; continuation of our strategy to share growth in cash flows from operating activities with our stockholders while also retaining a significant portion for reinvestment.

Investments

We carry our investments in publicly traded companies and certain privately held entities at fair value. As of December 31, 2018, cumulative unrealized gains related to changes in fair value aggregated $240.2 million. Investment income included the following:

  • Unrealized losses of $94.9 million and unrealized gains of $99.6 million recognized in 4Q18 and 2018, respectively; and
  • Realized gains of $11.3 million and $37.1 million recognized in 4Q18 and 2018, respectively.

Strong internal growth

  • Net operating income (cash basis) of $878.0 million for 4Q18 annualized, up $184.9 million, or 26.7%, compared to 4Q17 annualized
  • Same property net operating income growth:
    • 3.8% and 7.6% (cash basis) for 4Q18, compared to 4Q17
    • 3.7% and 9.2% (cash basis) for 2018, compared to 2017. Growth of 9.2% (cash basis) represents the highest annual increase during the past 10 years.
  • Continued strong leasing activity and rental rate growth in light of modest contractual lease expirations at the beginning of 2018 and a highly leased value-creation pipeline:

In February 2019, we executed a purchase and sale agreement to sell a 60% interest in 75/125 Binney Street, a Class A property in our Cambridge submarket, for a sales price of $438 million, or $1,880 per RSF, representing a 4.3% capitalization rate on 4Q18 net operating income (cash basis), annualized. The sale of a 60% ownership interest in this joint venture is expected to be accounted for as an equity transaction, with no gain to be recognized in earnings. Closing is expected to occur in 1Q19. Upon completion of the sale, we expect to retain control over the joint venture.

Additionally, the asset base in North America includes 6.8 million SF of intermediate-term and future development projects.

Alexandria has a longstanding and proven track record of developing Class A properties clustered in urban life science 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 and technology companies through our venture capital arm.

This document includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding our 2019 earnings per share attributable to Alexandria's common stockholders – diluted, 2019 funds from operations per share attributable to Alexandria's common stockholders – diluted, net operating income, and our projected sources and uses of capital. You can identify the forward-looking statements by their use of forward-looking words, such as "forecast," "guidance," "projects," "estimates," "anticipates," "goals," "believes," "expects," "intends," "may," "plans," "seeks," "should," or "will," or the negative of those words or similar words. These forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends, and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts, as well as a number of assumptions concerning future events. There can be no assurance that actual results will not be materially higher or lower than these expectations. These statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, without limitation, our failure to obtain capital (debt, construction financing, and/or equity) or refinance debt maturities, increased interest rates and operating costs, adverse economic or real estate developments in our markets, our failure to successfully place into service and lease any properties undergoing development or redevelopment and our existing space held for future development or redevelopment (including new properties acquired for that purpose), our failure to successfully operate or lease acquired properties, decreased rental rates, increased vacancy rates or failure to renew or replace expiring leases, defaults on or non-renewal of leases by tenants, adverse general and local economic conditions, an unfavorable capital market environment, decreased leasing activity or lease renewals, and other risks and uncertainties detailed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this Earnings Press Release, and unless otherwise stated, we assume no obligation to update this information and expressly disclaim any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

The assumed conversion of our 7.00% Series D cumulative convertible preferred stock required the addition of $5.1 million of dividends on preferred stock to the numerator, and the addition of 727 thousand shares to the denominator while calculating funds from operations per share attributable to Alexandria's common stockholders – diluted. These amounts had approximately no dilutive impact on a per share basis.

Calculated in accordance with standards established by the Nareit Board of Governors.
