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

  • In June 2023, Alexandria released our 2022 ESG Report, which highlights our longstanding and continued leadership in ESG. The report details the advancement of our decarbonization strategy and our roadmap to climate resilience within our life science real estate asset base. 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 initiatives. Notable ESG initiatives and achievements include the following:
    • We continue to further our approach to net zero by developing an innovative greenhouse gas emissions mitigation strategy that includes reducing emissions from the operation of our real estate assets through electrification, energy efficiency, and renewable electricity.
    • We have proactively taken steps to incorporate electrification into some of our development projects, including at 230 Harriet Tubman Way on our Alexandria Center® for Life Science –Millbrae campus in our South San Francisco submarket.
    • We look for opportunities to utilize alternative energy sources, such as geothermal energy. In our Greater Boston region, our 325 Binney Street development, Moderna's new HQ and core R&D operations, is designed to be the most sustainable laboratory building in Cambridge, and our 15 Necco Street development is a state-of-the-art low-carbon laboratory building for Eli Lilly. 325 Binney Street and 15 Necco Street are targeting a 92% and 74% reduction in fossil fuel use, respectively.
    • We also continue to increase our consumption of renewable electricity. With our new solar power purchase agreement to take effect in our Greater Boston region in 2024, 100% of the electricity consumed by Greater Boston will be from renewable electricity, assuming 2022 levels of use for Alexandria-paid utility accounts.
    • Pursuing Zero Energy certifications for two projects: 325 Binney Street, which is targeting LEED Zero Energy certification and is designed to be the most sustainable laboratory building in Cambridge, and 685 Gateway Boulevard in our South San Francisco submarket, which is designated as Zero Energy Ready and is on track to achieve ILFI Zero Energy certification.
  • In our Lake Union submarket, Alexandria received the 2023 BOMA Pacific Northwest TOBY (The Outstanding Building of the Year) Award in the Corporate Facility category for 1165 Eastlake Avenue East on The Eastlake Life Science by Alexandria mega campus. The TOBY Awards honor and recognize quality in commercial buildings and reward excellence in building management.

Guidance
June 30, 2023
(Dollars in millions)


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 updates to the midpoints of our guidance ranges for our 2023 key sources and uses of capital include the following:


•     During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we pivoted our strategy toward harvesting value by selling 100% interests in non-core properties and/or properties not integral to our mega
      campus strategy in lieu of seeking a new real estate joint venture partner for one of our active development projects.

      •     This resulted in increases to (i) proceeds from dispositions and sales of partial interests by $225 million, and (ii) our share of construction spending by $210 million, as this amount
             was previously expected to be funded by a future joint venture partner.

      •     The revised midpoint to our 2023 guidance range for dispositions and sales of partial interests is $1.75 billion.

      •     The revised midpoint to our 2023 guidance range for construction spending is $2.9 billion. Total 2023 construction spending before contributions from real estate joint venture partners
             remains unchanged from our prior forecast at $3.5 billion.

(1)

We calculated capitalization rates based upon net operating income and net operating income (cash basis) for 2Q23 annualized that includes vacancy available for redevelopment. Upon completion of the sale, we recognized a gain on sale
of real estate aggregating $187.2 million and a value-creation margin of 80%.

(2)

We calculated capitalization rates based upon net operating income and net operating income (cash basis) for 1Q23 annualized. Upon completion of the sale, we recognized a gain on sale of real estate aggregating $27.6 million and a
value-creation margin of 34%.

(3)

During 2Q23, we recognized a real estate impairment charge of $145.4 million to reduce our investment to its current fair value less costs to sell.

(4)

Dispositions completed during the three months ended June 30, 2023 had annual net operating income of $32.4 million with a weighted-average disposition date of June 13, 2023 (weighted by net operating income for 2Q23 annualized).

(5)

Represents a development project under construction aggregating 345,995 RSF, 97% of which is leased to Eli Lilly and Company for the Lilly Institute for Genetic Medicine. In April 2023, an investor acquired a 20% interest in this joint
venture, which consisted of an 18% interest sold by us and a 2% interest sold by our existing partner. Upon completion of the sale, our ownership interest in the consolidated real estate joint venture was 72% and our existing and new
partners' noncontrolling interests were 8% and 20%, respectively. We retained control over this real estate joint venture and therefore continue to consolidate this property. The sales price of the 18% interest sold by us was $66.1 million, or
$1,626 per RSF, representing capitalization rates of 6.6% and 5.4% (cash basis). We expect our new joint venture partner to contribute capital approximating $130 million to fund construction of the project over time and to accrete its
ownership interest in the joint venture to 37% from 20%.

(6)

An investor acquired a 70% interest in this consolidated real estate joint venture, which consisted of a 20.1% interest sold by us and a 49.9% interest held by our previous joint venture partner. Our portion of the sales price was
$32.3 million, or $981 per RSF, representing capitalization rates of 4.2% and 4.5% (cash basis) based upon net operating income and net operating income (cash basis) for 2Q23 annualized. We retained control over this real estate joint
venture and therefore continue to consolidate this property. This transaction resulted in consideration in excess of book value of $15.6 million and a value-creation margin of 88%. 

(7)

Represents the disposition of 268,023 RSF of a 660,034 RSF near-term development at 421 Park Drive. The proceeds from this transaction will help fund our remaining 392,011 RSF of the project. The project is expected to commence
vertical construction later this year and be completed in 2026. The buyer will fund the project costs related to its 268,023 RSF, and these costs are not included in our projected construction spending. We will develop and operate the
completed project and will earn development fees over the next three years.
