1.ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. (NYSE: ARE), an S&P 500® life science REIT, is the pioneer of the life science real estate
niche since its founding in 1994. Alexandria is the preeminent and longest-tenured owner, operator, and developer of collaborative
mega campuses in AAA life science innovation cluster locations, including Greater Boston, the San Francisco Bay Area, San Diego,
Seattle, Maryland, Research Triangle, and New York City. As of September 30, 2024, Alexandria has a total market capitalization of
$33.1 billion and an asset base in North America that includes 41.8 million RSF of operating properties, 5.3 million RSF of Class A/A+
properties undergoing construction, and one committed near-term project expected to commence construction in the next two years. As
used in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, references to the “Company,” “Alexandria,” “ARE,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Alexandria
Real Estate Equities, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated.
We have prepared the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP and in conformity
with the rules and regulations of the SEC. In our opinion, these interim consolidated financial statements presented herein reflect all
adjustments, of a normal recurring nature, that are necessary to fairly present the interim consolidated financial statements. The results
of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
2024. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements and the notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Any references to
our total market capitalization, number or quality of buildings or tenants, quality of location, square footage, number of leases, or
occupancy percentage, and any amounts derived from these values in these notes to consolidated financial statements are outside the
scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s procedures.
2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
On an ongoing basis, as circumstances indicate the need for reconsideration, we evaluate each legal entity that is not wholly
owned by us in accordance with the consolidation accounting guidance. Our evaluation considers all of our variable interests, including
equity ownership, as well as fees paid to us for our involvement in the management of each partially owned entity. To fall within the
scope of the consolidation guidance, an entity must meet both of the following criteria:
•The entity has a legal structure that has been established to conduct business activities and to hold assets; such entity
can be in the form of a partnership, limited liability company, or corporation, among others; and
•We have a variable interest in the legal entity — i.e., variable interests that are contractual, such as equity ownership, or
other financial interests that change with changes in the fair value of the entity’s net assets.
If an entity does not meet both criteria above, we apply other accounting literature, such as the equity method of accounting. If
an entity does meet both criteria above, we evaluate such entity for consolidation under either the variable interest model if the legal
entity meets any of the characteristics below to qualify as a VIE, or under the voting model for all other legal entities that are not VIEs.
A legal entity is determined to be a VIE if it has any of the following three characteristics:
1)The entity does not have sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support;
2)The entity is established with non-substantive voting rights (i.e., the entity deprives the majority economic interest
holder(s) of voting rights); or
3)The equity holders, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Equity holders meet this criterion
if they lack any of the following:
•The power, through voting rights or similar rights, to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly influence
the entity’s economic performance, as evidenced by:
•Substantive participating rights in day-to-day management of the entity’s activities; or
•Substantive kick-out rights over the party responsible for significant decisions;
•The obligation to absorb the entity’s expected losses; or
•The right to receive the entity’s expected residual returns.
11
2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
For an entity, including our real estate joint ventures, structured as a limited partnership or a limited liability company, our
evaluation of whether the equity holders (equity partners other than the general partner or the managing member of a joint venture) lack
the characteristics of a controlling financial interest includes the evaluation of whether the limited partners or non-managing members
(the noncontrolling equity holders) lack both substantive participating rights and substantive kick-out rights, defined as follows:
•Participating rights provide the noncontrolling equity holders the ability to direct significant financial and operating
decisions made in the ordinary course of business that most significantly influence the entity’s economic performance.
•Kick-out rights allow the noncontrolling equity holders to remove the general partner or managing member without cause.
If we conclude that any of the three characteristics of a VIE are met, including that the equity holders lack the characteristics of
a controlling financial interest because they lack both substantive participating rights and substantive kick-out rights, we conclude that
the entity is a VIE and evaluate it for consolidation under the variable interest model.
Variable interest model
If an entity is determined to be a VIE, we evaluate whether we are the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary analysis is
a qualitative analysis based on power and benefits. We consolidate a VIE if we have both power and benefits — that is, (i) we have the
power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly influence the VIE’s economic performance (power) and (ii) we have the
obligation to absorb losses of or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE (benefits). We
consolidate VIEs whenever we determine that we are the primary beneficiary. Refer to Note 4 – “Consolidated and unconsolidated real
estate joint ventures” and Note 7 – “Investments” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for information on specific entities
that qualify as VIEs. If we have a variable interest in a VIE but are not the primary beneficiary, we account for our investment using the
equity method.
Voting model
If a legal entity fails to meet any of the three characteristics of a VIE (i.e., insufficiency of equity, existence of non-substantive
voting rights, or lack of a controlling financial interest), we then evaluate such entity under the voting model. Under the voting model, we
consolidate the entity if we determine that we, directly or indirectly, have greater than 50% of the voting shares (or own a majority of the
limited partnership’s kick-out rights through voting interests), and that other equity holders do not have substantive participating rights.
Refer to Note 4 – “Consolidated and unconsolidated real estate joint ventures” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for
information on specific joint ventures that qualify for evaluation under the voting model.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and equity; the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the
consolidated financial statements; and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could
materially differ from those estimates.
Evaluation of business combination or asset acquisition
We evaluate each acquisition of real estate or in-substance real estate (including equity interests in entities that predominantly
hold real estate assets) to determine whether the integrated set of assets and activities acquired meets the definition of a business and
needs to be accounted for as a business combination. An acquisition of an integrated set of assets and activities that does not meet the
definition of a business is accounted for as an asset acquisition. If either of the following criteria is met, the integrated set of assets and
activities acquired would not qualify as a business:
•Substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in either a single identifiable asset or a group
of similar identifiable assets; or
•The integrated set of assets and activities is lacking, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together
significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs (i.e., revenue generated before and after the transaction).
An acquired process is considered substantive if:
•The process includes an organized workforce (or includes an acquired contract that provides access to an organized
workforce) that is skilled, knowledgeable, and experienced in performing the process;
•The process cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort, or delay; or
•The process is considered unique or scarce.
12
2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Generally, our acquisitions of real estate or in-substance real estate do not meet the definition of a business because
substantially all of the fair value is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets (i.e., land, buildings,
and related intangible assets) or because the acquisition does not include a substantive process in the form of an acquired workforce or
an acquired contract that cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort, or delay. When evaluating acquired service or management
contracts, we consider the nature of the services performed, the terms of the contract relative to similar arm’s-length contracts, and the
availability of comparable vendors in evaluating whether the acquired contract constitutes a substantive process.
Recognition of real estate acquired
We evaluate each acquisition of real estate or in-substance real estate (including equity interests in entities that predominantly
hold real estate assets) to determine whether the integrated set of assets and activities acquired meets the definition of a business and
needs to be accounted for as a business combination. An acquisition of an integrated set of assets and activities that does not meet the
definition of a business is accounted for as an asset acquisition.
For acquisitions of real estate or in-substance real estate that are accounted for as business combinations, we allocate the
acquisition consideration (excluding acquisition costs) to the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, noncontrolling interests, and
previously existing ownership interests at fair value as of the acquisition date. Assets include intangible assets such as tenant
relationships, acquired in-place leases, and favorable intangibles associated with in-place leases in which we are the lessor. Liabilities
include unfavorable intangibles associated with in-place leases in which we are the lessor. In addition, for acquired in-place finance or
operating leases in which we are the lessee, acquisition consideration is allocated to lease liabilities and related right-of-use assets,
adjusted to reflect favorable or unfavorable terms of the lease when compared with market terms. Any excess (deficit) of the
consideration transferred relative to the fair value of the net assets acquired is accounted for as goodwill (bargain purchase gain).
Acquisition costs related to business combinations are expensed as incurred.
Generally, we expect that acquisitions of real estate or in-substance real estate will not meet the definition of a business
because substantially all of the fair value is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets (i.e., land,
buildings, and related intangible assets). The accounting model for asset acquisitions is similar to the accounting model for business
combinations, except that the acquisition consideration (including acquisition costs) is allocated to the individual assets acquired and
liabilities assumed on a relative fair value basis. Any excess (deficit) of the consideration transferred relative to the sum of the fair value
of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is allocated to the individual assets and liabilities based on their relative fair values. As a
result, asset acquisitions do not result in the recognition of goodwill or a bargain purchase gain. Incremental and external direct
acquisition costs related to acquisitions of real estate or in-substance real estate (such as legal and other third-party services) are
capitalized.
We exercise judgment to determine the key assumptions used to allocate the purchase price of real estate acquired among its
components. The allocation of the consideration to the various components of properties acquired during the year can have an effect on
our net income due to the useful depreciable and amortizable lives applicable to each component and the recognition of the related
depreciation and amortization expense in our consolidated statements of operations. We apply judgment in utilizing available
comparable market information to assess relative fair value. We assess the relative fair values of tangible and intangible assets and
liabilities based on available comparable market information, including estimated replacement costs, rental rates, and recent market
transactions. In addition, we may use estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates.
Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors, including the historical operating results, known and anticipated
trends, and market/economic conditions that may affect the property.
The value of tangible assets acquired is based upon our estimation of fair value on an “as if vacant” basis. The value of
acquired in-place leases includes the estimated costs during the hypothetical lease-up period and other costs that would have been
incurred in the execution of similar leases under the market conditions at the acquisition date of the acquired in-place lease. If there is a
bargain fixed-rate renewal option for the period beyond the noncancelable lease term of an in-place lease, we evaluate intangible
factors, such as the business conditions in the industry in which the lessee operates, the economic conditions in the area in which the
property is located, and the ability of the lessee to sublease the property during the renewal term, in order to determine the likelihood
that the lessee will renew. When we determine that there is reasonable assurance that such bargain purchase option will be exercised,
we consider the option in determining the intangible value of such lease and its related amortization period. We also recognize the
relative fair values of assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in acquisitions of less than a 100%
interest when the acquisition constitutes a change in control of the acquired entity.
13
2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Depreciation and amortization
The values allocated to buildings and building improvements, land improvements, tenant improvements, and equipment are
depreciated on a straight-line basis. For buildings and building improvements, we depreciate using the shorter of the respective ground
lease terms or their estimated useful lives, not to exceed 40 years. Land improvements are depreciated over their estimated useful
lives, not to exceed 20 years. Tenant improvements are depreciated over their respective lease terms or estimated useful lives, and
equipment is depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or its estimated useful life. The values of the right-of-use assets are
amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining terms of each related lease. The values of acquired in-place leases and
associated favorable intangibles (i.e., acquired above-market leases) are classified in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets
and are amortized over the remaining terms of the related leases as a reduction of income from rentals in our consolidated statements
of operations. The values of unfavorable intangibles (i.e., acquired below-market leases) associated with acquired in-place leases are
classified in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets and are amortized over the
remaining terms of the related leases as an increase in income from rentals in our consolidated statements of operations.
Capitalized project costs
We capitalize project costs, including pre-construction costs, interest, property taxes, insurance, and other costs directly
related and essential to the development, redevelopment, pre-construction, or construction of a project. Capitalization of development,
redevelopment, pre-construction, and construction costs is required while activities are ongoing to prepare an asset for its intended use.
Fluctuations in our development, redevelopment, pre-construction, and construction activities could result in significant changes to total
expenses and net income. Costs incurred after a project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use are expensed as
incurred. Should development, redevelopment, pre-construction, or construction activity cease, interest, property taxes, insurance, and
certain other costs would no longer be eligible for capitalization and would be expensed as incurred. Expenditures for repairs and
maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Real estate sales
A property is classified as held for sale when all of the following criteria for a plan of sale have been met: (i) management,
having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the property; (ii) the property is available for immediate sale in its
present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary; (iii) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions
required to complete the plan to sell have been initiated; (iv) the sale of the property is probable and is expected to be completed within
(vi) actions necessary to complete the plan of sale indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the
plan will be withdrawn. Depreciation of assets ceases upon designation of a property as held for sale. Refer to Note 15 – “Assets
classified as held for sale” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional details.
If the disposal of a property represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on our operations or financial
results, such as (i) a major line of business, (ii) a major geographic area, (iii) a major equity method investment, or (iv) other major parts
of an entity, then the operations of the property, including any interest expense directly attributable to it, are classified as discontinued
operations in our consolidated statements of operations, and amounts for all prior periods presented are reclassified from continuing
operations to discontinued operations. The disposal of an individual property generally will not represent a strategic shift and therefore
will typically not meet the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation.
We recognize gains or losses on real estate sales in accordance with the accounting standard on the derecognition of
nonfinancial assets arising from contracts with noncustomers. Our ordinary output activities consist of the leasing of space to our
tenants in our operating properties, not the sales of real estate. Therefore, sales of real estate (in which we are the seller) qualify as
contracts with noncustomers. In our transactions with noncustomers, we apply certain recognition and measurement principles
consistent with our method of recognizing revenue arising from contracts with customers. Derecognition of the asset is based on the
transfer of control. If a real estate sales contract includes our ongoing involvement with the property, then we evaluate each promised
good or service under the contract to determine whether it represents a separate performance obligation, constitutes a guarantee, or
prevents the transfer of control. If a good or service is considered a separate performance obligation, an allocated portion of the
transaction price is recognized as revenue as we transfer the related good or service to the buyer.
The recognition of gain or loss on the sale of a partial interest also depends on whether we retain a controlling or
noncontrolling interest in the property. If we retain a controlling interest in the property upon completion of the sale, we continue to
reflect the asset at its book value, record a noncontrolling interest for the book value of the partial interest sold, and recognize additional
paid-in capital for the difference between the consideration received and the partial interest at book value. Conversely, if we retain a
noncontrolling interest upon completion of the sale of a partial interest of real estate, we recognize a gain or loss as if 100% of the asset
were sold.

2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Prior to and subsequent to the end of each quarter, we review current activities and changes in the business conditions of all of
our long-lived assets to determine the existence of any triggering events or impairment indicators requiring an impairment analysis. If
triggering events or impairment indicators are identified, we review an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows, including, if
necessary, a probability-weighted approach if multiple outcomes are under consideration.
Long-lived assets to be held and used, including our rental properties, CIP, land held for development, right-of-use assets
related to operating leases in which we are the lessee, and intangibles, are individually evaluated for impairment when conditions exist
that may indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset to be
held and used is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual
disposition of the asset. Triggering events or impairment indicators for long-lived assets to be held and used are assessed by project
and include significant fluctuations in estimated net operating income, occupancy changes, significant near-term lease expirations,
current and historical operating and/or cash flow losses, construction costs, estimated completion dates, rental rates, and other market
factors. We assess the expected undiscounted cash flows based upon numerous factors, including, but not limited to, construction
costs, available market information, current and historical operating results, known trends, current market/economic conditions that may
affect the asset, and our assumptions about the use of the asset, including, if necessary, a probability-weighted approach if multiple
outcomes are under consideration.
Upon determination that an impairment has occurred, a write-down is recognized to reduce the carrying amount of the asset to
its estimated fair value. If an impairment charge is not required to be recognized, the recognition of depreciation or amortization is
adjusted prospectively, as necessary, to reduce the carrying amount of the asset to its estimated disposition value over the remaining
period that the asset is expected to be held and used. We may adjust depreciation of properties that are expected to be disposed of or
redeveloped prior to the end of their useful lives.
We use the held for sale impairment model for our properties classified as held for sale, which is different from the held and
used impairment model. Under the held for sale impairment model, an impairment charge is recognized if the carrying amount of the
long-lived asset classified as held for sale exceeds its fair value less cost to sell. Because of these two different models, it is possible for
a long-lived asset previously classified as held and used to require the recognition of an impairment charge upon classification as held
for sale.
In addition to operating properties in the U.S., we have 11 properties in Canada. The functional currency for our subsidiaries
operating in the U.S. is the U.S. dollar. The local currency of a foreign subsidiary serves as its functional currency. The assets and
liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect as of the financial statement date.
Revenue and expense accounts of our foreign subsidiaries are translated using the weighted-average exchange rate for the periods
presented. Gains or losses resulting from the translation are classified in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a
separate component of total equity and are excluded from net income (loss).
Whenever a foreign investment meets the criteria for classification as held for sale, we evaluate the recoverability of the
investment under the held for sale impairment model. We may recognize an impairment charge if the carrying amount of the investment
exceeds its fair value less cost to sell. In determining an investment’s carrying amount, we consider its net book value and any
cumulative unrealized foreign currency translation adjustment related to the investment.
The appropriate amounts of foreign exchange rate gains or losses classified in accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss) are reclassified to net income (loss) when realized upon the sale of our investment or upon the complete or substantially
complete liquidation of our investment.
We hold investments in publicly traded companies and privately held entities primarily involved in the life science industry. As a
REIT, we generally limit our ownership of each individual entity’s voting stock to less than 10 %. We evaluate each investment to
determine whether we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over an investee. We evaluate investments in
which our ownership is equal to or greater than 20%, but less than or equal to 50%, of an investee’s voting stock with a presumption
that we have this ability. For our investments in limited partnerships that maintain specific ownership accounts, we presume that such
ability exists when our ownership interest exceeds 3% to 5%. In addition to our ownership interest, we consider whether we have a
board seat or whether we participate in the investee’s policy-making process, among other criteria, to determine if we have the ability to
exert significant influence, but not control, over an investee. If we determine that we have such ability, we account for the investment
under the equity method, as described below.
From time to time, we may hold equity investments that are subject to contractual sale restrictions. We do not recognize a
discount related to a contractual sale restriction.
15
2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Investments accounted for under the equity method
Under the equity method of accounting, we initially recognize our investment at cost and subsequently adjust the carrying
amount of the investment for our share of earnings or losses reported by the investee, distributions received, and other-than-temporary
impairments. For more information about our investments accounted for under the equity method, refer to Note 7 – “Investments” to our
unaudited consolidated financial statements.
Investments that do not qualify for the equity method of accounting
For investees over which we determine that we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence or control, we account
for each investment depending on whether it is an investment in a (i) publicly traded company, (ii) privately held entity that reports NAV
per share, or (iii) privately held entity that does not report NAV per share, as described below.
Investments in publicly traded companies
Our investments in publicly traded companies are classified as investments with readily determinable fair values and are
presented at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets, with changes in fair value classified in investment income (loss) in our
consolidated statements of operations. The fair values for our investments in publicly traded companies are determined based on sales
prices or quotes available on securities exchanges.
Investments in privately held companies
Our investments in privately held entities without readily determinable fair values consist of (i) investments in privately held
entities that report NAV per share and (ii) investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV per share. These investments are
accounted for as follows:
Investments in privately held entities that report NAV per share
Investments in privately held entities that report NAV per share, such as our privately held investments in limited partnerships,
are presented at fair value using NAV as a practical expedient, with changes in fair value classified in investment income (loss) in our
consolidated statements of operations. We use NAV per share reported by limited partnerships generally without adjustment, unless we
are aware of information indicating that the NAV reported by a limited partnership does not accurately reflect the fair value of the
investment at our reporting date.
Investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV per share
Investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV per share are accounted for using a measurement alternative,
under which these investments are measured at cost, adjusted for observable price changes and impairments, with changes classified
in investment income (loss) in our consolidated statements of operations.
An observable price arises from an orderly transaction for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer, which is
observed by an investor without expending undue cost and effort. Observable price changes result from, among other things, equity
transactions of the same issuer executed during the reporting period, including subsequent equity offerings or other reported equity
transactions related to the same issuer. To determine whether these transactions are indicative of an observable price change, we
evaluate, among other factors, whether these transactions have similar rights and obligations, including voting rights, distribution
preferences, and conversion rights to the investments we hold.
16
2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Impairment evaluation of equity method investments and investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV per
share
We monitor equity method investments and investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV per share for new
developments, including operating results, prospects and results of clinical trials, new product initiatives, new collaborative agreements,
capital-raising events, and merger and acquisition activities. These investments are evaluated on the basis of a qualitative assessment
for indicators of impairment by monitoring the presence of the following triggering events or impairment indicators:
(i)a significant deterioration in the earnings performance, credit rating, asset quality, or business prospects of the investee;
(ii)a significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the investee;
(iii)a significant adverse change in the general market condition, including the research and development of technology and
products that the investee is bringing or attempting to bring to the market;
(iv)significant concerns about the investee’s ability to continue as a going concern; and/or
(v)a decision by investors to cease providing support or reduce their financial commitment to the investee.
If such indicators are present, we are required to estimate the investment’s fair value and immediately recognize an
impairment charge in an amount equal to the investment’s carrying value in excess of its estimated fair value.
Investment income/loss recognition and classification
We recognize both realized and unrealized gains and losses in our consolidated statements of operations, classified in
investment income (loss) in our consolidated statements of operations. Unrealized gains and losses represent:
(i)changes in fair value for investments in publicly traded companies;
(ii)changes in NAV for investments in privately held entities that report NAV per share;
(iii)observable price changes for investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV per share; and
(iv)our share of unrealized gains or losses reported by our equity method investees.
Realized gains and losses on our investments represent the difference between proceeds received upon disposition of
investments and their historical or adjusted cost basis. For our equity method investments, realized gains and losses represent our
share of realized gains or losses reported by the investee. Impairments are realized losses, which result in an adjusted cost basis, and
represent charges to reduce the carrying values of investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV per share and equity

17
2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Definition and classification of a lease
When we enter into a contract or amend an existing contract, we evaluate whether the contract meets the definition of a lease.
To meet the definition of a lease, the contract must meet all three criteria:
(i)One party (lessor) must hold an identified asset;
(ii)The counterparty (lessee) must have the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset
throughout the period of the contract; and
(iii)The counterparty (lessee) must have the right to direct the use of the identified asset throughout the period of the contract.
We classify our leases as either finance leases or operating leases if we are the lessee, or sales-type, direct financing, or
operating leases if we are the lessor. We use the following criteria to determine if a lease is a finance lease (as a lessee) or sales-type
or direct financing lease (as a lessor):
(i)Ownership is transferred from lessor to lessee by the end of the lease term;
(ii)An option to purchase is reasonably certain to be exercised;
(iii)The lease term is for the major part of the underlying asset’s remaining economic life;
(iv)The present value of lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset; or
(v)The underlying asset is specialized and is expected to have no alternative use at the end of the lease term.
If we meet any of the above criteria, we account for the lease as a finance, a sales-type, or a direct financing lease. If we do
not meet any of the criteria, we account for the lease as an operating lease.
A lease is accounted for as a sales-type lease if it is considered to transfer control of the underlying asset to the lessee. A
lease is accounted for as a direct financing lease if risks and rewards are conveyed without the transfer of control, which is normally
indicated by the existence of a residual value guarantee from an unrelated third party other than the lessee.
This classification will determine the method of recognition of the lease:
•For an operating lease, we recognize income from rentals if we are the lessor, or rental operations expense if we are the
lessee, over the term of the lease on a straight-line basis.
•For a sales-type lease or a direct financing lease, we recognize the income from rentals, or for a finance lease, we
recognize rental operations expense, over the term of the lease using the effective interest method.
•At inception of a sales-type lease or a direct financing lease, if we determine the fair value of the leased property is lower
than its carrying amount, we recognize a selling loss immediately at lease commencement. If fair value exceeds the
carrying amount of a lease, a gain is recognized at lease commencement on a sales-type lease. For a direct financing
Costs to execute leases
We capitalize initial direct costs, which represent only incremental costs to execute a lease that would not have been incurred
if the lease had not been obtained. Costs that we incur to negotiate or arrange a lease, regardless of its outcome, such as for fixed
employee compensation, tax or legal advice to negotiate lease terms, and other costs, are expensed as incurred.
Operating leases
We account for the revenue from our lease contracts by utilizing the single component accounting policy. This policy requires
us to account for, by class of underlying asset, the lease component and nonlease component(s) associated with each lease as a single
component if two criteria are met:
(i)The timing and pattern of transfer of the lease component and the nonlease component(s) are the same; and
(ii)The lease component would be classified as an operating lease if it were accounted for separately.
Lease components consist primarily of fixed rental payments, which represent scheduled rental amounts due under our
leases, and contingent rental payments. Nonlease components consist primarily of tenant recoveries representing reimbursements of
rental operating expenses under our triple net lease structure, including recoveries for property taxes, insurance, utilities, repairs and
maintenance, and common area expenses.
18
2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
If the lease component is the predominant component, we account for all revenues under such lease as a single component in
accordance with the lease accounting standard. Conversely, if the nonlease component is the predominant component, all revenues
under such lease are accounted for in accordance with the revenue recognition accounting standard. Our operating leases qualify for
the single component accounting, and the lease component in each of our leases is predominant. Therefore, we account for all
revenues from our operating leases under the lease accounting standard and classify these revenues as income from rentals in our
consolidated statements of operations.
We commence recognition of income from rentals related to the operating leases at the date the property is ready for its
intended use by the tenant and the tenant takes possession or controls the physical use of the leased asset. When a lease includes
construction of tenant improvements, we determine whether the improvements are landlord or tenant assets. In determining if the
improvements are landlord or tenant improvements, we consider various factors including, but not limited to, the following:
•Which party retains legal title to the improvements upon lease expiration;
•Whether the improvements are expected to have significant residual value at the end of the lease term;
•Whether the improvements are unique to the tenant;
•What happens to the improvements upon lease expiration (i.e., whether they are removed or preserved for the landlord)
•Which party bears all costs of the improvements (including the risk of cost overruns); and
•Which party supervises the construction of the improvements.
If the improvements are landlord assets, we capitalize such improvements. If the improvements are tenant assets, we do not
capitalize these assets. Such improvements, if funded by us, are accounted for as lease incentives and amortized as a reduction of
revenue over the term of the lease. If the tenant funds improvements without reimbursement from us and we determine these
improvements to be landlord assets, we consider the amount associated with the improvements to be noncash lease payments, which
are recognized as incremental revenue over the term of the lease.
Income from rentals related to fixed rental payments under operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the
respective operating lease terms. We classify amounts expected to be received in later periods as deferred rent in our consolidated
balance sheets. Amounts received currently but recognized as revenue in future periods are classified in accounts payable, accrued
expenses, and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.
Income from rentals related to variable payments includes tenant recoveries and contingent rental payments. Tenant
recoveries, including reimbursements of utilities, repairs and maintenance, common area expenses, real estate taxes and insurance,
and other operating expenses, are recognized as revenue in the period during which the applicable expenses are incurred and the
tenant’s obligation to reimburse us arises. Income from rentals related to other variable payments is recognized when associated
contingencies are removed.
We assess collectibility from our tenants of future lease payments for each of our operating leases. If we determine that
collectibility is probable, we recognize income from rentals based on the methodology described above. If we determine that
collectibility is not probable, we recognize an adjustment to lower our income from rentals. Furthermore, we may recognize a general
allowance at a portfolio level (not the individual level) if we do not expect to collect future lease payments in full.
For each lease for which we determine that collectibility of future lease payments is not probable, we cease the recognition of
income from rentals on a straight-line basis and limit the recognition of income to the lesser of payments collected from the lessee or
lease income that would have been recognized on a straight-line basis. We do not resume straight-line recognition of income from
rentals for these leases until we determine that the collectibility of future payments related to these leases is probable. We also record a
general allowance related to the deferred rent balances that at the portfolio level (not the individual level) are not expected to be
collected in full through the lease term. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our general allowance balance aggregated
$21.3 million and $21.4 million, respectively.
Direct financing and sales-type leases
Income from rentals related to direct financing and sales-type leases is recognized over the lease term using the effective
interest rate method. At lease commencement, we record an asset within other assets in our consolidated balance sheets, which
represents our net investment in the lease. This initial net investment is determined by aggregating the present values of the total future
lease payments attributable to the lease and the estimated residual value of the property, less any unearned income related to our
direct financing lease. Over the lease term, the investment in the lease accretes in value, producing a constant periodic rate of return on
the net investment in the lease. Income from these leases is classified in income from rentals in our consolidated statements of
operations. Our net investment is reduced over time as lease payments are received. We evaluate our net investment in direct financing
and sales-type leases for impairment under the current expected credit loss accounting standard. For more information, refer to
“Allowance for credit losses” in Note 2 – “Summary of significant accounting policies” to our unaudited consolidated financial
statements.
As a lessor, we classify a lease with variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate as an operating lease
19
2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
on the commencement date of the lease if both of the following criteria are met:
(i)The lease would have been classified as a sales-type lease or direct financing lease under the current lease accounting
standard; and
(ii)The sales-type lease or direct financing lease classification would have resulted in a selling loss at lease commencement.
We do not derecognize the underlying asset and do not recognize a loss upon lease commencement but continue to
depreciate the underlying asset over its useful life.
We have operating lease agreements in which we are the lessee consisting of ground and office leases. At the lease
commencement date (or at the acquisition date if the lease is acquired as part of a real estate acquisition), we are required to recognize
a liability to account for our future obligations under these operating leases, and a corresponding right-of-use asset.
The lease liability is measured based on the present value of the future lease payments, including payments during the term
under our extension options that we are reasonably certain to exercise. The present value of the future lease payments is calculated for
each operating lease using each respective remaining lease term and a corresponding estimated incremental borrowing rate, which is
the interest rate that we estimate we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term for an amount equal to
the lease payments. Subsequently, the lease liability is accreted by applying a discount rate established at the lease commencement
date to the lease liability balance as of the beginning of the period and is reduced by the payments made during the period. We classify
the operating lease liability in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.
The right-of-use asset is measured based on the corresponding lease liability, adjusted for initial direct leasing costs and any
other consideration exchanged with the landlord prior to the commencement of the lease, as well as adjustments to reflect favorable or
unfavorable terms of an acquired lease when compared with market terms at the time of acquisition. Subsequently, the right-of-use
asset is amortized on a straight-line basis during the lease term. We classify the right-of-use asset in other assets in our consolidated
balance sheets.
We recognize revenues associated with transactions arising from contracts with customers, excluding revenues subject to the
lease accounting standard discussed in “Lease accounting” above, in accordance with the revenue recognition accounting standard. A
customer is distinguished from a noncustomer by the nature of the goods or services that are transferred. Customers are provided with
goods or services that are generated by a company’s ordinary output activities, whereas noncustomers are provided with nonfinancial
assets that are outside of a company’s ordinary output activities.
We generally recognize revenue representing the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the
consideration to which we expect to be entitled in the exchange. In order to determine the recognition of revenue from customer
contracts, we use a five-step model to (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract,
(iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will
not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we
satisfy the performance obligation.
We identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or
over time, based on when control of goods and services transfers to a customer. We consider whether we control the goods or services
prior to the transfer to the customer in order to determine whether we should account for the arrangement as a principal or agent. If we
determine that we control the goods or services provided to the customer, then we are the principal to the transaction, and we recognize
the gross amount of consideration expected in the exchange. If we simply arrange but do not control the goods or services being
transferred to the customer, then we are considered to be an agent to the transaction, and we recognize the net amount of
consideration we are entitled to retain in the exchange.
Total revenues subject to the revenue recognition accounting standard and classified within income from rentals in our
consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 included $11.1 million and
$28.8 million, respectively, primarily related to short-term parking revenues associated with long-term lease agreements. Short-term
parking revenues do not qualify for the single component accounting policy, as discussed in “Lessor accounting” in Note 2 – “Summary
of significant accounting policies”, due to the difference in the timing and pattern of transfer of our parking service obligations and
associated lease components within the same lease agreement. We recognize short-term parking revenues in accordance with the
revenue recognition accounting standard when the service is provided and the performance obligation is satisfied, which normally
occurs at a point in time.
20
2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
During the term of each lease, we monitor the credit quality and any related material changes of our tenants by (i) monitoring
the credit rating of tenants that are rated by a nationally recognized credit rating agency, (ii) reviewing financial statements of the
tenants that are publicly available or that are required to be delivered to us pursuant to the applicable lease, (iii) monitoring news
reports regarding our tenants and their respective businesses, and (iv) monitoring the timeliness of lease payments.
We are required to estimate and recognize lifetime expected losses, rather than incurred losses, for most of our financial
assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables (excluding receivables arising
from operating leases), loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, net investments in leases arising from sales-type and direct financing
leases, and off-balance-sheet credit exposures (e.g., loan commitments). The recognition of such expected losses, even if the expected
risk of credit loss is remote, typically results in earlier recognition of credit losses. An assessment of the collectibility of operating lease
payments and the recognition of an adjustment to lease income based on this assessment is governed by the lease accounting
standard discussed in “Lease accounting” earlier in Note 2 — “Summary of significant accounting policies” to our unaudited
consolidated financial statements.
At each reporting date, we reassess our credit loss allowances on the aggregate net investment of direct financing and sales-
type leases and our trade receivables. If necessary, we recognize a credit loss adjustment for our current estimate of expected credit
losses, which is classified within rental operations in our consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Note 5 – “Leases” to our
unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional details.
We are organized and operate as a REIT pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). Under the Code, a REIT that
distributes at least 90 % of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders annually (excluding net capital gains) and meets certain other
conditions is not subject to federal income tax on its distributed taxable income, but could be subject to certain federal, foreign, state,
and local taxes. We distribute 100 % of our taxable income annually; therefore, a provision for federal income taxes is not required. In
addition to our REIT returns, we file federal, foreign, state, and local tax returns for our subsidiaries. We file with jurisdictions located in
the U.S., Canada, and other international locations. Our tax returns are subject to routine examination in various jurisdictions for the
2018 through 2023 calendar years.
We have implemented an entity-wide accounting policy to account for forfeitures related to unmet service conditions of share-
based awards granted to employees and non-employees when they occur. Under this policy, when forfeitures occur, any previously
recognized expense related to those forfeited awards is reversed in the period of forfeiture.
Our employee and non-employee share-based awards are measured at fair value on the grant date and recognized over the
recipient’s required service period. For share-based awards with performance conditions, we continue to assess the probability of
achieving the performance conditions and recognize expense only when it becomes probable that the performance targets will be met.
Conversely, for share-based awards with market conditions, expense is recognized regardless of whether the market condition is
achieved.
All nonforfeitable dividends paid on share-based awards are initially classified in retained earnings and reclassified to
From time to time, we enter into forward equity sales agreements and account for them in accordance with the accounting
guidance governing financial instruments and derivatives. Under the accounting guidance, our forward equity sales agreements are not
deemed to be liabilities as they do not embody obligations to repurchase our shares, nor do they embody obligations to issue a variable
number of shares for which the monetary value is predominantly fixed, varied with something other than the fair value of our shares, or
varied inversely in relation to our shares. We also evaluate whether the agreements meet the derivatives and hedging guidance scope
exception to be accounted for as equity instruments. Our forward equity sales agreements are classified as equity contracts based on
the following assessment: (i) none of the agreements’ exercise contingencies are based on observable markets or indices besides
those related to the market for our own stock price and operations; and (ii) none of the settlement provisions preclude the agreements
21
2.SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Generally, a parent entity of an issuer that holds guaranteed securities must provide separate subsidiary issuer or guarantor
financial statements, unless it qualifies for disclosure exceptions. A parent entity may be eligible for disclosure exceptions if it meets the
following criteria:
(i)The subsidiary issuer or guarantor is a consolidated subsidiary of the parent company, and
(ii)The subsidiary issues a registered security that is issued jointly and severally with the parent company, or is fully and
unconditionally guaranteed by the parent company.
A parent entity that meets the above criteria may instead present summarized financial information (“alternative disclosures”)
either within the consolidated financial statements or within “Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations” in Item 2. We evaluated the criteria and determined that we are eligible for the disclosure exceptions, which allow us to
provide alternative disclosures; as such, we present alternative disclosures in “Management’s discussion and analysis of financial
condition and results of operations” in Item 2.
Fees incurred in obtaining long-term financing are capitalized and classified with the corresponding debt instrument appearing
on our consolidated balance sheets. Loan fees related to our unsecured senior line of credit are capitalized and classified within other
assets. Capitalized amounts are amortized over the term of the related loan, and the amortization is classified in interest expense in our
consolidated statements of operations.
We use the “nature of the distribution” approach to determine the classification within our consolidated statements of cash
flows of cash distributions received from equity method investments, including our unconsolidated real estate joint ventures and equity
method non-real estate investments. Under this approach, distributions are classified based on the nature of the underlying activity that
generated the cash distributions. If we lack the information necessary to apply this approach in the future, we will be required to apply
the “cumulative earnings” approach as an accounting change on a retrospective basis. Under the cumulative earnings approach,
distributions up to the amount of cumulative equity in earnings recognized are classified as cash inflows from operating activities, and
those in excess of that amount are classified as cash inflows from investing activities.
We present cash and cash equivalents separately from restricted cash within our consolidated balance sheets. However, we
include restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown
in the consolidated statements of cash flows. We provide a reconciliation between the consolidated balance sheets and the
consolidated statements of cash flows, as required, when the balance includes more than one line item for cash, cash equivalents, and
restricted cash. We also provide a disclosure of the nature of the restrictions related to material restricted cash balances.
On August 23, 2023, the FASB issued an ASU that will require a joint venture, upon formation, to measure its assets and
liabilities at fair value in its standalone financial statements. A joint venture will recognize the difference between the fair value of its
equity and the fair value of its identifiable assets and liabilities as goodwill (or an equity adjustment, if negative) using the business
combination accounting guidance regardless of whether the net assets meet the definition of a business. The new accounting standard
is intended to reduce diversity in practice. This ASU will apply to joint ventures that meet the definition of a corporate joint venture under
GAAP, thus limiting its scope to joint ventures not controlled and therefore not consolidated by any joint venture investor. We generally
seek to maintain control of our real estate joint ventures and therefore expect this ASU to apply to a limited number, if any, of our
unconsolidated real estate joint ventures formed after the adoption of this accounting standard. This standard does not change the
accounting of investments by the investors in a joint venture in their individual financial statements, and therefore, its adoption will have
no impact on our consolidated financial statements. This accounting standard will become effective for joint ventures with a formation
date on or after January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. We expect to adopt this ASU on January 1, 2025.
On November 27, 2023, the FASB issued an ASU that will require quarterly disclosure of segment expenses if they are (i)
significant to the segment, (ii) regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), and (iii) included in each reported
measure of a segment’s profit or loss. In addition, this ASU requires an annual disclosure of the CODM’s title and a description of how
the CODM uses the segment’s profit/loss measure to assess segment performance and to allocate resources. Pursuant to this ASU, the
footnotes to our consolidated financial statements may include incremental disclosures. The compliance with this ASU will be required
beginning with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2024, followed by interim disclosures in our quarterly
reports on Form 10-Q thereafter, with early adoption permitted. We will adopt this ASU for our annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ending December 31, 2024.

Based upon our evaluation of each acquisition, we determined that substantially all of the fair value related to each acquisition
was concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets or was associated with a land parcel with no
operations. Accordingly, each transaction did not meet the definition of a business and therefore was accounted for as an asset
acquisition. In each of these transactions, we allocated the total consideration for each acquisition to the individual assets and liabilities
acquired on a relative fair value basis.

Impairment charges
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized real estate impairment charges aggregating $36.5 million,
consisting of the following:
•Impairment charges aggregating $30.8 million primarily consisting of the pre-acquisition costs related to two potential
acquisitions aggregating 1.4 million RSF of future development in our Greater Boston market. We executed purchase
agreements for these potential acquisitions with the total purchase price aggregating $366.8 million in 2020 and 2022, and we
initially expected to close these acquisitions after 2024. Our intent for each site included the demolition of existing buildings
upon expiration of the existing in-place leases and the development of life science properties. During the three months ended
June 30, 2024, due to the existing macroeconomic environment that negatively impacted the financial outlooks for these
projects, we decided to no longer proceed with these acquisitions, resulting in the recognition of impairment charges.
•Impairment charge of $5.7 million to adjust the carrying amount of one property in Canada that continued to meet the held-for-
sale classification to the sales price under negotiation with a potential buyer less costs to sell. We expect to sell this property
within 12 months.

In 2006, ARE-East River Science Park, LLC, a subsidiary of Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc., was granted an option to
incorporate a land parcel adjacent to and north of the Alexandria Center® for Life Science – New York City (“ACLS-NYC”) campus
(“Option Parcel”) into the existing ground lease of that campus. The Option Parcel will allow ARE-East River Science Park, LLC to
develop a future world-class life science building within the ACLS-NYC campus. ARE-East River Science Park, LLC’s investment in pre-
construction costs related to the development of the Option Parcel, including costs related to design, engineering, environmental,
survey/title, and permitting and legal costs, aggregate $165.1 million as of September 30, 2024.
On August 6, 2024, ARE-East River Science Park, LLC filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York against its landlord, New York City Health + Hospitals Corporation (“H+H”), and the New York City Economic
Development Corporation (“EDC”). The lawsuit alleges two principal claims against H+H and EDC: fraud in the inducement, and, in the
alternative, breach of contract in violation of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. As alleged in the complaint, ARE-East
River Science Park, LLC’s claims arise from H+H’s and EDC’s misrepresentations and concealment of material facts in connection with
a floodwall, which H+H and EDC are seeking to require ARE-East River Science Park, LLC to integrate into the development of the
Option Parcel. ARE-East River Science Park, LLC alleges that H+H’s and EDC’s misconduct have prevented it from commencing the
development of the Option Parcel. In light of the pending litigation, the closing date for the option and thus the commencement date for
construction of the third tower at the campus are presently indeterminate. Among other things, ARE-East River Science Park, LLC is
seeking significant damages and equitable relief to maintain the option.
This matter exposes us to potential losses ranging from zero to the full amount of the investment in the project aggregating
$165.1 million as of September 30, 2024, depending on any collection of damages and/or the ability to develop the project. We
performed a probability-weighted recoverability analysis based on initial estimates of various possible outcomes and determined no
impairment was present as of September 30, 2024.

4.CONSOLIDATED AND UNCONSOLIDATED REAL ESTATE JOINT VENTURES (continued)
Our consolidation policy is described under “Consolidation” in Note 2 – “Summary of significant accounting policies” to our
unaudited consolidated financial statements. Consolidation accounting is highly technical, but its framework is primarily based on the
controlling financial interests and benefits of the joint ventures. We generally consolidate a joint venture that is a legal entity that we
control (i.e., we have the power to direct the activities of the joint venture that most significantly affect its economic performance)
through contractual rights, regardless of our ownership interest, and where we determine that we have benefits through the allocation of
earnings or losses and fees paid to us that could be significant to the joint venture (the “VIE model”).
We also generally consolidate joint ventures when we have a controlling financial interest through voting rights and where our
voting interest is greater than 50% (the “voting model”). Voting interest differs from ownership interest for some joint ventures. We
account for joint ventures that do not meet the consolidation criteria under the equity method of accounting by recognizing our share of
income and losses.
The table below shows the categorization of our real estate joint ventures under the consolidation framework:

4.CONSOLIDATED AND UNCONSOLIDATED REAL ESTATE JOINT VENTURES (continued)
Formation of consolidated real estate joint ventures
We evaluated each of our real estate joint ventures described below under the consolidation framework outlined above and
further detailed in “Consolidation” in Note 2 – “Summary of significant accounting policies” to our unaudited consolidated financial
statements.
Refer to “Consolidation” in Note 2 – “Summary of significant accounting policies” to our unaudited consolidated financial
statements for additional information. For a summary of our completed dispositions of real estate assets during the nine months ended
September 30, 2024, refer to “Sales of real estate assets and impairment charges” in Note 3 – “Investments in real estate” to our
unaudited consolidated financial statements.
285, 299, 307, and 345 Dorchester Avenue
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we formed real estate joint ventures to develop a mega campus. We
contributed $155.3 million to these real estate joint ventures, and our partner’s share of contributed real estate assets aggregated
$103.5 million. As of March 31, 2024, these joint ventures owned four land parcels at 285, 299, 307, and 345 Dorchester Avenue in our
Seaport Innovation District submarket, with future development opportunities aggregating 1.0 million SF. We determined that we have
control over these real estate joint ventures, and we therefore consolidate the joint ventures. As of September 30, 2024, we have a 60 %
ownership interest in the joint ventures.
1201 and 1208 Eastlake Avenue East
In September 2024, our prior joint venture partner sold its ownership interest in each of 1201 and 1208 Eastlake Avenue East
joint ventures to our new joint venture partner, who is also our longstanding tenant at the 1201 and 1208 Eastlake Avenue East
properties, occupying 117,479 RSF out of the total 207,774 RSF. Alexandria’s ownership interest in each of 1201 and 1208 Eastlake
Avenue East remained unchanged at 30.0 %. Upon completion of the sale, we reassessed our consolidation analysis for this joint
venture and determined that we retain control, and we therefore continue to consolidate the joint venture.
Consolidated VIEs’ balance sheet information
We, together with joint venture partners, hold interests in real estate joint ventures that we consolidate in our financial
statements. These existing joint ventures provide significant equity capital to fund a portion of our future construction spend, and our
joint venture partners may also contribute equity into these entities for financing-related activities.

4.CONSOLIDATED AND UNCONSOLIDATED REAL ESTATE JOINT VENTURES (continued)
In determining whether to aggregate the balance sheet information of consolidated VIEs, we considered the similarity of each
VIE, including the primary purpose of these entities to own, manage, operate, and lease real estate properties owned by the VIEs, and
the similar nature of our involvement in each VIE as a managing member. Due to the similarity of the characteristics, we present the
balance sheet information of these entities on an aggregated basis. None of our consolidated VIEs’ assets have restrictions that limit
their use to settle specific obligations of the VIE. There are no creditors or other partners of our consolidated VIEs that have recourse to
our general credit, and our maximum exposure to our consolidated VIEs is limited to our variable interests in each VIE, except for our
99 Coolidge Avenue real estate joint venture in which the VIE’s secured construction loan is guaranteed by us. Refer to Note 10 –
“Secured and unsecured senior debt” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Unconsolidated real estate joint ventures
Our maximum exposure to our unconsolidated VIEs is limited to our investment in each VIE, except for our 1450 Research
Boulevard and 101 West Dickman Street unconsolidated real estate joint ventures in which we guarantee up to $6.7 million of the
outstanding balance related to each VIE’s secured loan. Our investments in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, accounted for
under the equity method and classified in investments in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures in our consolidated balance sheets,
consisted of the following as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 (in thousands):

5.LEASES
statements for information about lease accounting standards that set principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and
disclosure of leases for both parties to a lease agreement (i.e., lessees and lessors).
Leases in which we are the lessor
As of September 30, 2024, we had 406 properties aggregating 41.8 million operating RSF in key cluster locations, including
Greater Boston, the San Francisco Bay Area, San Diego, Seattle, Maryland, Research Triangle, and New York City. We primarily focus
on developing Class A/A+ properties in AAA life science innovation cluster locations that offer the scale and strategic design integral to
our mega campus strategy. Strategically located near top academic medical institutions and equipped with curated amenities, services,
and transit access, our mega campuses are designed to support our tenants in attracting and retaining top talent, which we believe is a
key driver of tenant demand for our properties.
As of September 30, 2024, all leases in which we are the lessor were classified as operating leases, with the exception of one
direct financing lease. Our leases are described below.
Operating leases
As of September 30, 2024, our 406 properties were subject to operating lease agreements. Four of these properties are
subject to operating lease agreements that each contain a purchase option as described below:
(i)Two properties, representing two land parcels, are subject to lease agreements that each contain an option for the lessee
to purchase the underlying asset from us at fair market value during each of the 30-day periods commencing on the dates
that are 15 years, 30 years, and 74.5 years after the rent commencement date of October 1, 2017 . The remaining lease
term related to each of the two land parcels is 68.2 years.
(ii)Two operating properties aggregating 207,774 RSF owned by our 1201 and 1208 Eastlake Avenue East consolidated real
estate joint venture are subject to purchase options held by our partner in this joint venture, who is also a tenant
occupying 117,479 RSF at these properties. One purchase option allows our partner to purchase our 30 % interest in 1208
Eastlake Avenue East for $40.0 million in 2031. Contingent upon the exercise of this option, the second purchase option
allows our partner to purchase our 30 % interest in 1201 Eastlake Avenue East for $69.1 million in 2034. Our partner’s
remaining lease terms for its operating leases at 1201 and 1208 Eastlake Avenue East are 20.0 years and 6.4 years,
respectively.
We evaluated the impact of the purchase options on the classification of the existing operating leases and determined that
each lease continues to meet the criteria for classification as an operating lease.
Our leases generally contain options to extend lease terms at prevailing market rates at the time of expiration. Certain
operating leases contain early termination options that require advance notification and payment of a penalty, which in most cases is
substantial enough to be deemed economically disadvantageous by a tenant to exercise. Future lease payments to be received under
the terms of our operating lease agreements, excluding expense reimbursements, in effect as of September 30, 2024 are outlined in the
table below (in thousands):

Refer to Note 3 – “Investments in real estate” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information
about our owned real estate assets, which are the underlying assets under our operating leases.
Direct financing lease
As of September 30, 2024, we had one direct financing lease agreement, with a net investment balance of $40.6 million, for a
parking structure with a remaining lease term of 68.2 years. The lessee has an option to purchase the underlying asset at fair market
value during each of the 30-day periods commencing on the dates that are 15 years, 30 years, and 74.5 years after the rent
commencement date of October 1, 2017 .

“Revenues” and “Recognition of revenue arising from contracts with customers” in Note 2 – “Summary of significant accounting policies”
to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Residual value risk management strategy
Our leases do not have guarantees of residual value on the underlying assets. We manage risk associated with the residual
value of our leased assets by (i) evaluating each potential acquisition of real estate to determine whether it meets our business
objective to invest primarily in high-demand markets, (ii) directly managing our leased properties, conducting frequent property
inspections, proactively addressing potential maintenance issues before they arise, and/or timely resolving any occurring issues, and
(iii) carefully selecting our tenants and monitoring their credit quality throughout their respective lease terms.

5.LEASES (continued)
Leases in which we are the lessee
Operating lease agreements
We have operating lease agreements in which we are the lessee consisting of ground and office leases. Certain of these
leases have options to extend or terminate the contract terms upon meeting certain criteria. There are no notable restrictions or
covenants imposed by the leases, nor guarantees of residual value.
We recognize a right-of-use asset, which is classified within other assets in our consolidated balance sheets, and a related
liability, which is classified within accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets, to
account for our future obligations under ground and office lease arrangements in which we are the lessee. Refer to “Lessee accounting”
in Note 2 – “Summary of significant accounting policies” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements.
As of September 30, 2024, the present value of the remaining contractual payments aggregating $1.1 billion under our
operating lease agreements, including our extension options that we are reasonably certain to exercise, was $648.3 million. Our
corresponding operating lease right-of-use assets, adjusted for initial direct leasing costs and other consideration exchanged with the
landlord prior to the commencement of the lease, aggregated $776.7 million. As of September 30, 2024, the weighted-average
remaining lease term of operating leases in which we are the lessee was approximately 49 years, including extension options that we
are reasonably certain to exercise, and the weighted-average discount rate was 5.1 %. The weighted-average discount rate is based on
the incremental borrowing rate estimated for each lease, which is the interest rate that we estimate we would have to pay to borrow on
a collateralized basis over a similar term for an amount equal to the lease payments.
Included in the operating lease liability balance as of September 30, 2024 is the liability related to an amendment to our
existing ground lease agreement at the Alexandria Technology Square® mega campus aggregating 1.2 million RSF in our Cambridge
submarket, which extended the lease term by 24 years from January 1, 2065 to December 31, 2088 . The amendment 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. Upon the execution of the amendment in July 2024, we recognized $265.1 million,
representing the present value of our rent obligation related to the amendment, as operating lease liability.
Ground lease obligations as of September 30, 2024 included leases for 36 of our properties, which accounted for
approximately 9 % of our total number of properties. Excluding one ground lease that expires in 2036 related to one operating property
with a net book value of $5.8 million as of September 30, 2024, our ground lease obligations have remaining lease terms ranging from
approximately 30 to 97 years, including extension options that we are reasonably certain to exercise.

Lessee operating costs
Operating lease costs relate to our ground and office leases in which we are the lessee. Ground leases generally require fixed
annual rent payments and may also include escalation clauses and renewal options. Our operating lease obligations related to our
office leases have remaining terms of up to 12 years, exclusive of extension options. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024
and 2023, amounts paid and classified as operating activities in our unaudited consolidated statements of cash flows for leases in which
we are the lessee aggregated $24.7 million and $24.6 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024

7.INVESTMENTS
REIT, we generally limit our ownership of each individual entity’s voting stock to less than 10 %. We evaluate each investment to
determine whether we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but not control, over an investee. We evaluate investments in
which our ownership is equal to or greater than 20%, but less than or equal to 50%, of an investee’s voting stock with a presumption
that we have this ability. For our investments in limited partnerships that maintain specific ownership accounts, we presume that such
ability exists when our ownership interest exceeds 3% to 5%. In addition to our ownership interest, we consider whether we have a
board seat or whether we participate in the investee’s policy-making process, among other criteria, to determine if we have the ability to
exert significant influence, but not control, over an investee. If we determine that we have such ability, we account for the investment
under the equity method, as described below.
Investments accounted for under the equity method
Under the equity method of accounting, we initially recognize our investment at cost and subsequently adjust the carrying
amount of the investment for our share of earnings or losses reported by the investee, distributions received, and other-than-temporary
impairments.
As of September 30, 2024, we had 10 investments in limited partnerships maintaining specific ownership accounts for each
investor, which were accounted for under the equity method. These investments aggregated $137.7 million. Our ownership interest in
each of these 10 investments was greater than 5%.
Investments that do not qualify for the equity method of accounting
For investees over which we determine that we do not have the ability to exercise significant influence or control, we account
for each investment depending on whether it is an investment in a (i) publicly traded company, (ii) privately held entity that reports NAV
per share, or (iii) privately held entity that does not report NAV per share, as described below.
Investments in publicly traded companies
Our investments in publicly traded companies are classified as investments with readily determinable fair values and are
presented at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets, with changes in fair value classified in investment income (loss) in our
consolidated statements of operations. The fair values for our investments in publicly traded companies are determined based on sales
prices or quotes available on securities exchanges.
Investments in privately held companies
Our investments in privately held entities without readily determinable fair values consist of (i) investments in privately held
entities that report NAV per share and (ii) investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV per share. These investments are
accounted for as follows:
Investments in privately held entities that report NAV per share
Investments in privately held entities that report NAV per share, such as our privately held investments in limited partnerships,
are presented at fair value using NAV as a practical expedient, with changes in fair value classified in investment income (loss) in our
consolidated statements of operations. We use NAV per share reported by limited partnerships generally without adjustment, unless we
are aware of information indicating that the NAV reported by a limited partnership does not accurately reflect the fair value of the
investment at our reporting date.
Investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV per share
Investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV per share are accounted for using a measurement alternative,
under which these investments are measured at cost, adjusted for observable price changes and impairments, with changes classified
in investment income (loss) in our consolidated statements of operations.
An observable price arises from an orderly transaction for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer, which is
observed by an investor without expending undue cost and effort. Observable price changes result from, among other things, equity
transactions of the same issuer executed during the reporting period, including subsequent equity offerings or other reported equity
transactions related to the same issuer. To determine whether these transactions are indicative of an observable price change, we
evaluate, among other factors, whether these transactions have similar rights and obligations, including voting rights, distribution
preferences, and conversion rights to the investments we hold.
33
7.INVESTMENTS (continued)
Impairment evaluation of equity method investments and investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV per
share
We monitor equity method investments and investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV per share for new
developments, including operating results, prospects and results of clinical trials, new product initiatives, new collaborative agreements,
capital-raising events, and merger and acquisition activities. These investments are evaluated on the basis of a qualitative assessment
for indicators of impairment by monitoring the presence of the following triggering events or impairment indicators:
(i)a significant deterioration in the earnings performance, credit rating, asset quality, or business prospects of the investee;
(ii)a significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the investee;
(iii)a significant adverse change in the general market condition, including the research and development of technology and
products that the investee is bringing or attempting to bring to the market;
(iv)significant concerns about the investee’s ability to continue as a going concern; and/or
(v)a decision by investors to cease providing support or reduce their financial commitment to the investee.
If such indicators are present, we are required to estimate the investment’s fair value and immediately recognize an
impairment charge in an amount equal to the investment’s carrying value in excess of its estimated fair value.
Investment income/loss recognition and classification
We recognize both realized and unrealized gains and losses in our consolidated statements of operations, classified in
investment income (loss) in our consolidated statements of operations. Unrealized gains and losses represent:
(i)changes in fair value for investments in publicly traded companies;
(ii)changes in NAV for investments in privately held entities that report NAV per share;
(iii)observable price changes for investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV per share; and
(iv)our share of unrealized gains or losses reported by our equity method investees.
Realized gains and losses on our investments represent the difference between proceeds received upon disposition of
investments and their historical or adjusted cost basis. For our equity method investments, realized gains and losses represent our
share of realized gains or losses reported by the investee. Impairments are realized losses, which result in an adjusted cost basis, and
represent charges to reduce the carrying values of investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV per share and equity
method investments, if impairments are deemed other than temporary, to their estimated fair value.
Funding commitments to investments in privately held entities that report NAV
We are committed to funding approximately $379.9 million for our investments in privately held entities that report NAV. Our
funding commitments expire at various dates over the next 12 years with a weighted-average expiration of 8.1 years as of September
30, 2024. These investments are not redeemable by us, but we may receive distributions from these investments throughout their
terms. Our investments in privately held entities that report NAV generally have expected initial terms in excess of 10 years. The
weighted-average remaining term during which these investments are expected to be liquidated was 5.3 years as of September 30,
2024.

9.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
and disclose the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities by utilizing a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between data
obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant
assumptions. This hierarchy consists of three broad levels, as follows: (i) quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
(Level 1), (ii) significant other observable inputs (Level 2), and (iii) significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Significant other observable
inputs can include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or
liability, such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves. Significant unobservable inputs are typically based on an
entity’s own assumptions, since there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances in which the determination of the fair value
measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the
entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers
factors specific to the asset or liability.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis
(in thousands). There were no liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

in privately held entities, which consist of (i) investments that report NAV and (ii) investments that do not report NAV, as further
described below.

9.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)
Our investments in privately held entities that report NAV, such as our privately held investments in limited partnerships, are
carried at fair value using NAV as a practical expedient, with changes in fair value classified in net income. As of September 30, 2024
and December 31, 2023, the carrying values of investments in privately held entities that report NAV aggregated $656.4 million and
$671.5 million, respectively. These investments are excluded from the fair value hierarchy above as required by the fair value
accounting standards. We estimate the fair value of each of our investments in limited partnerships based on the most recent NAV
reported by each limited partnership. As a result, the determination of fair values of our investments in privately held entities that report
NAV generally does not involve significant estimates, assumptions, or judgments.

statements.
Real estate assets classified as held for sale measured at fair value less costs to sell
Our real estate assets classified as held for sale and measured at fair value less costs to sell are presented in the table above.
These properties are subsets of our total real estate assets classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2024 and December 31,
2023, respectively. The fair values for these real estate assets were estimated based on executed purchase and sale agreements,
letters of intent, or valuations provided by third-party real estate brokers. Refer to “Investments in real estate” in Note 2 – “Summary of
significant accounting policies” and Note 15 – “Assets classified as held for sale” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for
additional information.
Investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV
Our investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV are measured at cost, adjusted for observable price changes
and impairments, with changes recognized in net income. These investments are adjusted based on the observable price changes in
orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer. Further adjustments are not made until another
observable transaction occurs. Therefore, the determination of fair values of our investments in privately held entities that do not report
NAV does not involve significant estimates and assumptions or subjective and complex judgments.
We also subject our investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV to a qualitative assessment for indicators of
impairment. If indicators of impairment are present, we are required to estimate the investment’s fair value and immediately recognize
an impairment charge in an amount equal to the investment’s carrying value in excess of its estimated fair value.
37
9.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)
The estimates of fair value typically incorporate valuation techniques that include an income approach reflecting a discounted
cash flow analysis, and a market approach that includes a comparative analysis of acquisition multiples and pricing multiples generated
by market participants. In certain instances, we may use multiple valuation techniques for a particular investment and estimate its fair
value based on an average of multiple valuation results.
Refer to Note 7 – “Investments” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Assets and liabilities not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position but for which the fair value is disclosed
The fair values of our secured notes payable and unsecured senior notes payable, and the amounts outstanding on our
unsecured senior line of credit and commercial paper program, were estimated using widely accepted valuation techniques, including
discounted cash flow analyses using significant other observable inputs such as available market information on discount and
borrowing rates with similar terms, maturities, and credit ratings. Because the valuations of our financial instruments are based on these
types of estimates, the actual fair value of our financial instruments may differ materially if our estimates do not prove to be accurate.
Additionally, the use of different market assumptions or estimation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair value
amounts.

Based on certain sustainability metrics achieved in accordance with the terms of our unsecured senior line of credit
agreement, the borrowing rate was reduced for a one-year period by two basis points to SOFR plus 0.855 %, from SOFR plus 0.875 %,
and the facility fee was reduced by 0.5 basis point to 0.145 % from 0.15 %. As of September 30, 2024, we had no outstanding balance
on our unsecured line of credit.
In September 2024, we amended and restated our unsecured senior line of credit to, among other changes, extend the
maturity date from January 22, 2028 to January 22, 2030 , including extension options that we control.
$2.5 billion commercial paper program
Our commercial paper program provides us with the ability to issue up to $2.5 billion of commercial paper notes that bear
interest at short-term fixed rates with a maturity of generally 30 days or less and a maximum maturity of 397 days from the date of
issuance. Our commercial paper program is backed by our unsecured senior line of credit, and at all times we expect to retain a
minimum undrawn amount of borrowing capacity under our unsecured senior line of credit equal to any outstanding notes issued under
our commercial paper program. We use the net proceeds from the issuances of the notes for general working capital and other general
corporate purposes. General corporate purposes may include, but are not limited to, the repayment of other debt and selective
development, redevelopment, or acquisition of properties. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the commercial paper
notes were issued at a weighted-average yield to maturity of 5.55 % and had a weighted-average maturity term of 17 days. As of
September 30, 2024, the outstanding balance under our commercial paper program was $454.6 million with a weighted-average
interest rate of 5.05 %.

campus. For additional information, refer to “Leases in which we are the lessee” in Note 5 – “Leases” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, our conditional asset retirement obligations liability primarily consisted of
the soil and groundwater remediation liabilities associated with certain of our properties. Some of our properties may contain asbestos
or may be subjected to other hazardous or toxic substances, which, under certain conditions, requires remediation. We engage
independent environmental consultants to conduct Phase I or similar environmental assessments at our properties. This type of
assessment generally includes a site inspection, interviews, and a public records review; asbestos, lead-based paint, and mold surveys;
subsurface sampling; and other testing. We recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation (including
asbestos) when the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. In addition, environmental laws and regulations subject our
tenants, and potentially us, to liability that may result from our tenants’ routine handling of hazardous substances and wastes as part of
their operations at our properties. These assessments and investigations of our properties have not to date revealed any additional
environmental liability we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business and financial statements or that would require
additional disclosures or recognition in our consolidated financial statements.

12.EARNINGS PER SHARE
our unaudited consolidated financial statements. We consider the potential dilution resulting from the forward equity sales agreements
on the EPS calculations. At inception, the agreements do not have an effect on the computation of basic EPS as no shares are
delivered until settlement. The common shares issued upon the settlement of the forward equity sales agreements, weighted for the
period these common shares were outstanding, are included in the denominator of basic EPS. To determine the dilution resulting from
the forward equity sales agreements during the period of time prior to settlement, we calculate the number of weighted-average shares
outstanding – diluted using the treasury stock method.
We account for unvested restricted stock awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends as participating securities and
include these securities in the computation of EPS using the two-class method. Our forward equity sales agreements are not
participating securities and are therefore not included in the computation of EPS using the two-class method. Under the two-class
method, we allocate net income (after amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests) to common stockholders and unvested restricted
stock awards by using the weighted-average shares of each class outstanding for quarter-to-date and year-to-date periods
independently, based on their respective participation rights to dividends declared (or accumulated) and undistributed earnings.

13.STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
In February 2024, we entered into a new ATM common stock offering program that allows us to sell up to an aggregate of
$1.5 billion of our common stock.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we entered into new forward equity sales agreements aggregating $28 million
to sell 230 thousand shares of common stock under our ATM program at an average price of $122.32 (before underwriting discounts).
As of September 30, 2024, none of these agreements were settled.
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we had no activity under our ATM program. As of September 30, 2024,
the remaining aggregate amount available under our ATM program for future sales of common stock was $1.47 billion.
Dividends
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we declared cash dividends on our common stock aggregating $222.1 million,
or $1.27 per share. In April 2024, we paid the cash dividends on our common stock declared for the three months ended March 31,
2024.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we declared cash dividends on our common stock aggregating $227.4 million,
or $1.30 per share. In July 2024, we paid the cash dividends on our common stock declared for the three months ended June 30, 2024.
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we declared cash dividends on our common stock aggregating
$227.2 million, or $1.30 per share. In October 2024, we paid the cash dividends on our common stock declared for the three months
ended September 30, 2024.
Accumulated other comprehensive loss
The change in accumulated other comprehensive loss attributable to Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc.’s stockholders
during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was entirely due to net unrealized losses of $6.6 million on foreign currency
translation related to our operations primarily in Canada.
Common stock, preferred stock, and excess stock authorizations
Our charter authorizes the issuance of 400.0 million shares of common stock, of which 172.2 million shares were issued and
outstanding as of September 30, 2024. Our charter also authorizes the issuance of up to 100.0 million shares of preferred stock, none
of which were issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2024. In addition, 200.0 million shares of “excess stock” (as defined in our
charter) are authorized, none of which were issued and outstanding as of September 30, 2024.
14.NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS
Noncontrolling interests represent the third-party interests in certain entities in which we have a controlling interest. As of
September 30, 2024, these entities owned 67 properties, which are included in our consolidated financial statements. Noncontrolling
interests are adjusted for additional contributions and distributions, the proportionate share of the net earnings or losses, and other
comprehensive income or loss. Distributions, profits, and losses related to these entities are allocated in accordance with the respective
operating agreements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we distributed $179.1 million and $192.7 million,
respectively, to our consolidated real estate joint venture partners.
Certain of our noncontrolling interests have the right to require us to redeem their ownership interests in the respective entities.
We classify these ownership interests in the entities as redeemable noncontrolling interests outside of total equity in our consolidated
balance sheets. Redeemable noncontrolling interests are adjusted for additional contributions and distributions, the proportionate share
of the net earnings or losses, and other comprehensive income or loss. If the amount of a redeemable noncontrolling interest is less
than the maximum redemption value at the balance sheet date, such amount is adjusted to the maximum redemption value.
Subsequent declines in the redemption value are recognized only to the extent that previous increases have been recognized.

statements for additional information.

16.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Real estate acquisition and disposition in October 2024
In October 2024, we completed the sale of one property aggregating 248,186 RSF at 14225 Newbrook Drive in our Northern
Virginia submarket for a sales price of $80.5 million and recognized a gain on sale of real estate of $37.1 million.
In October 2024, we completed the acquisition of one property at 428 Westlake Avenue North in our Lake Union submarket for
a purchase price of $47.6 million.
Real estate impairment charges in October 2024
In October 2024, four properties located in our Greater Boston market met the criteria for classification as held for sale. We
expect to complete the sale of these properties for a sales price of $369.4 million during the fourth quarter of 2024 to the current tenant
of the properties. These properties are currently 100% leased for a weighted-average remaining lease term of 18 years to a single
tenant with whom we have a long-established relationship. The important tenant relationship and strategic nature of these properties
resulted in a limited pool of buyers we would be willing to sell this asset to and, as a result, the likelihood of selling this asset was not
probable until the buyer committed in October 2024 to acquire these properties. As a result, in October 2024, we recognized an
impairment charge aggregating $40.9 million to reduce the carrying amounts of these properties to the expected sales price less costs
to sell.
In October 2024, five operating properties aggregating 203,223 RSF and land parcels aggregating 1.5 million SF in our
Sorrento Mesa and University Town Center submarkets met the criteria for classification as held for sale. We expect to complete the
sale of these assets to buyers that are expected to develop residential properties on these sites for an aggregate sales price of
approximately $314.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2024. In October 2024, upon management obtaining the authority to sell these
assets and agreeing to acceptable terms, 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.

Overview
We are a Maryland corporation formed in October 1994 that has elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax
purposes. Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. (NYSE: ARE), an S&P 500® company, is a best-in-class, mission-driven life science
REIT making a positive and lasting impact on the world. As the pioneer of the life science real estate niche with our founding in 1994,
Alexandria is the preeminent and longest-tenured owner, operator, and developer of collaborative mega campuses in AAA life science
innovation cluster locations, including Greater Boston, the San Francisco Bay Area, San Diego, Seattle, Maryland, Research Triangle,
and New York City. As of September 30, 2024, Alexandria has a total market capitalization of $33.1 billion and an asset base in North
America that includes 41.8 million RSF of operating properties, 5.3 million RSF of Class A/A+ properties undergoing construction, and
one committed near-term project expected to commence construction in the next two years. Alexandria has a longstanding and proven
track record of developing Class A/A+ properties clustered in mega 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 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.
As of September 30, 2024:
•Investment-grade or publicly traded large cap tenants represented 53% of our annual rental revenue;
•Approximately 96% of our leases (on an annual rental revenue basis) contained effective annual rent escalations
approximating 3% that were either fixed or indexed based on a consumer price index or other index;
•Approximately 93% of our leases (on an annual rental revenue basis) were triple net leases, which require tenants to pay
substantially all real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, repairs and maintenance, common area expenses, and other
operating expenses (including increases thereto) in addition to base rent;
•Approximately 92% of our leases (on an annual rental revenue basis) provided for the recapture of capital expenditures
(such as HVAC maintenance and/or replacement, roof replacement, and parking lot resurfacing) that we believe would
typically be borne by the landlord in traditional office leases; and
•80% of our leasing activity during the last twelve months was generated from our existing tenant base.
Our primary business objective is to maximize long-term asset value and stockholder returns based on a multifaceted platform
of internal and external growth. A key element of our strategy is our unique focus on Class A/A+ properties located in collaborative
mega campuses in AAA life science innovation clusters. Our mega campuses are designed for scalability, offering our tenants a clear
path for growth, including through our future developments and redevelopments. Strategically located near top academic medical
institutions and equipped with curated amenities, services, and transit access, our mega campuses are designed to support our tenants
in attracting and retaining top talent, which we believe is a key driver of tenant demand for our properties. Our strategy also includes
drawing upon our deep and broad real estate and life science relationships in order to identify and attract new and leading tenants and
to source additional value-creation real estate.

Investments in real estate
A key component of our business model is our disciplined allocation of capital to the development and redevelopment of new
Class A/A+ properties, and property enhancements identified during the underwriting of certain acquired properties, located in
collaborative mega campuses in AAA life science innovation clusters. These projects are focused on providing high-quality, generic, and
reusable spaces that meet the real estate requirements of a wide range of tenants. Upon completion, each development and
redevelopment project is expected to generate increases in rental income, net operating income, and cash flows. Our development and
redevelopment projects are generally in locations that are highly desirable to high-quality entities, which we believe results in higher
occupancy levels, longer lease terms, higher rental income, higher returns, and greater long-term asset value. Our pre-construction
activities are undertaken in order to prepare the property for its intended use and include entitlements, permitting, design, site work, and
other activities preceding commencement of construction of aboveground building improvements.

(1)Initial occupancy dates are subject to leasing and/or market conditions. Stabilized occupancy may vary depending on single tenancy versus multi-tenancy. Multi-tenant projects may increase in occupancy over a period of time. (2)We expect to redevelop an additional 25,312 RSF of space occupied as of September 30, 2024 into laboratory space upon expiration of the existing leases through the second half of 2025. Refer to “Investments in real estate” under “Definitions and reconciliations” in Item 2 for additional information. (3)Represents a project focused on demand from our existing tenants in our adjacent properties/campuses that will address demand from other non-Alexandria properties/campuses. (4)Represents a multi-tenant project expanding our existing mega campus, where our joint venture partner will fund 100% of the construction cost until it attains an ownership interest of 75%, after which it will contribute its respective share of additional capital. We are in negotiations with a biomedical institution for the sale of a 50% condominium interest in this property. (5)We initially started this project due to strong demand from neighboring tenants but strategically paused in the first quarter of 2023. We have resumed construction activities at this project in order to maintain our existing entitlements and permits. We have interest from various prospective tenants, including from multinational pharmaceutical companies. Beyond this purpose-built life science asset, there is no competitive supply expected to be delivered in 2025 or 2026 in our Lake Union submarket. As of September 30, 2024, we are 95.3% occupied in our Lake Union submarket. | ||||||||||||||||||||

Results of operations
We present a tabular comparison of items, whether gain or loss, that may facilitate a high-level understanding of our results
and provide context for the disclosures included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and our
subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. We believe that such tabular presentation promotes a better understanding for investors of
the corporate-level decisions made and activities performed that significantly affect comparison of our operating results from period to
period. We also believe that this tabular presentation will supplement for investors an understanding of our disclosures and real estate
operating results. Gains or losses on sales of real estate and impairments of assets classified as held for sale are related to corporate-
level decisions to dispose of real estate. Gains or losses on early extinguishment of debt are related to corporate-level financing
decisions focused on our capital structure strategy. Significant realized and unrealized gains or losses on non-real estate investments,
impairments of real estate and non-real estate investments, and acceleration of stock compensation expense due to the resignations of
executive officers are not related to the operating performance of our real estate assets as they result from strategic, corporate-level
non-real estate investment decisions and external market conditions. Impairments of non-real estate investments are not related to the
operating performance of our real estate as they represent the write-down of non-real estate investments when their fair values
decrease below their respective carrying values due to changes in general market or other conditions outside of our control. Significant
items, whether a gain or loss, included in the tabular disclosure for current periods are described in further detail in Item 2. Key items
included in net income attributable to Alexandria’s common stockholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and
2023 and the related per share amounts were as follows (in millions, except per share amounts):

Income from rentals
Total income from rentals for the three months ended September 30, 2024 increased by $68.2 million, or 9.6%, to
$775.7 million, compared to $707.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, as a result of an increase in rental
revenues and tenant recoveries, as discussed below.
Rental revenues
Total rental revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2024 increased by $53.2 million, or 10.1%, to $579.6 million,
compared to $526.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase in rental
revenues from our Non-Same Properties related to 2.5 million RSF of development and redevelopment projects placed into service
subsequent to July 1, 2023 and four operating properties aggregating 486,610 RSF acquired subsequent to July 1, 2023.
Rental revenues from our Same Properties for the three months ended September 30, 2024 increased by $12.9 million, or
2.9%, to $452.4 million, compared to $439.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to
rental rate changes on lease renewals and re-leasing of space since July 1, 2023 and a 0.7% increase in the occupancy of our Same
Properties to 94.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from 94.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Tenant recoveries
Tenant recoveries for the three months ended September 30, 2024 increased by $15.0 million, or 8.3%, to $196.2 million,
compared to $181.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. This increase was primarily from our Non-Same
Properties related to our development and redevelopment projects placed into service and properties acquired subsequent to July 1,
2023, as discussed above under “Rental revenues.”
Same Properties’ tenant recoveries for the three months ended September 30, 2024 increased by $3.7 million, or 2.2%, to
$168.9 million, compared to $165.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to higher operating expenses
during the three months ended September 30, 2024, as discussed under “Rental operations” below. As of September 30, 2024, 93% of
our leases (on an annual rental revenue basis) were triple net leases, which require tenants to pay substantially all real estate taxes,
insurance, utilities, repairs and maintenance, common area expenses, and other operating expenses (including increases thereto) in
addition to base rent.
Rental operations
Total rental operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 increased by $15.6 million, or 7.2%, to
$233.3 million, compared to $217.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to
incremental expenses related to our Same Properties, as discussed below.
Same Properties’ rental operating expenses increased by $10.0 million, or 5.3%, to $199.4 million during the three months
ended September 30, 2024, compared to $189.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily as the result of
increases in (i) utility expenses and contractual costs aggregating $5.0 million, due to higher rates and increases in services, and
(ii) higher ground lease expenses aggregating $1.6 million, due to increases in contractual rates related to lease extensions and higher
ground lease percentage rent.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 increased by $24.6 million, or 9.1%,
to $294.0 million, compared to $269.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to
additional depreciation from development and redevelopment projects placed into service and properties acquired, as discussed above
under “Rental revenues.”
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2024 decreased by $2.0 million, or 4.4%, to
$43.9 million, compared to $46.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to a reduction in compensation
costs resulting from the resignations of two executive officers in the second half of 2023. As a percentage of net operating income, our
general and administrative expenses for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were 8.9% and 9.3%,
respectively.
77
Interest expense
Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):
Three Months Ended September 30, | ||||||

Impairment of real estate
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized real estate impairment charges aggregating $5.7 million
to adjust the carrying amount of one property in Canada that continued to meet the held-for-sale classification to the sales price under
negotiation with a potential buyer less costs to sell. We expect to sell this property within 12 months.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized real estate impairment charges aggregating $20.6 million
to further reduce the carrying amounts of primarily three non-laboratory properties located in our Greater Boston and Texas markets to
their respective estimated fair value less costs to sell.
Investment income
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized investment income aggregating $15.2 million. This
income primarily consisted of gains of $26.2 million from increases in fair values of our non-real estate investments in publicly traded
companies and in privately held entities that do not report NAV, partially offset by impairment charges of $10.3 million primarily related
to two non-real estate investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV. During the three months ended September 30, 2023,
we recognized an investment loss aggregating $80.7 million, which consisted of $77.2 million of unrealized losses and $3.5 million of
realized losses. For more information about our investments, refer to Note 7 – “Investments” to our unaudited consolidated financial
statements. For our impairments accounting policy, refer to “Investments” in Note 2 – “Summary of significant accounting policies” to
our unaudited consolidated financial statements in Item 1.
Gain on sales of real estate
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized $27.1 million of gains primarily related the disposition of
1165 Eastlake Avenue East in our Lake Union submarket. The gains were classified in gain on sales of real estate within our
consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Other comprehensive income
Total other comprehensive income for the three months ended September 30, 2024 aggregated $5.1 million, compared to total
other comprehensive loss of $8.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The difference is primarily due to the
unrealized foreign currency translation gains related to our operations in Canada.

Income from rentals
Total income from rentals for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased by $186.6 million, or 8.9%, to $2.3 billion,
compared to $2.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, as a result of increase in rental revenues and tenant
recoveries, as discussed below.
Rental revenues
Total rental revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased by $155.3 million, or 9.8%, to $1.7 billion,
compared to $1.6 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase in rental
revenues from our Non-Same Properties related to 4.1 million RSF of development and redevelopment projects placed into service
subsequent to January 1, 2023 and five operating properties aggregating 734,353 RSF acquired subsequent to January 1, 2023.
Rental revenues from our Same Properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased by $34.6 million, or
2.6%, to $1.3 billion, compared to $1.3 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to rental
rate increases on lease renewals and re-leasing of space since January 1, 2023.
Tenant recoveries
Tenant recoveries for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased by $31.4 million, or 6.1%, to $548.7 million,
compared to $517.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This increase was partially from our Non-Same Properties
related to our development and redevelopment projects placed into service and properties acquired subsequent to January 1, 2023, as
discussed above under “Rental revenues.”
Same Properties’ tenant recoveries for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased by $11.5 million, or 2.5%, to
$473.1 million, compared to $461.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to higher operating expenses
during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as discussed under “Rental operations” below. As of September 30, 2024, 93% of
our leases (on an annual rental revenue basis) were triple net leases, which require tenants to pay substantially all real estate taxes,
insurance, utilities, repairs and maintenance, common area expenses, and other operating expenses (including increases thereto) in
addition to base rent.
Rental operations
Total rental operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased by $32.4 million, or 5.1%, to
$668.8 million, compared to $636.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.The increase was primarily due to
incremental expenses related to our Same Properties’ rental operating expenses as discussed below.
Same Properties’ rental operating expenses increased by $26.5 million, or 5.0%, to $559.4 million during the nine months
ended September 30, 2024, compared to $532.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily as the result of (i)
the increase in utilities expenses and contractual costs aggregating $12.2 million, primarily due to higher rates and increase in services;
(ii) the increase in property taxes aggregating $7.5 million, primarily due to increases from reassessments in values; and (iii) the
increase in property insurance expenses aggregating $2.1 million, primarily due to higher insurance premiums.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased by $64.0 million, or 7.9%, to
$872.3 million, compared to $808.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to additional
depreciation from development and redevelopment projects placed into service and properties acquired, as discussed above under
“Rental revenues.”
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased by $4.4 million, or 3.2%, to
$135.6 million, compared to $140.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to a reduction in
compensation costs resulting from the resignations of two executive officers in the second half of 2023. As a percentage of net
operating income, our general and administrative expenses for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were
8.9% and 9.3%, respectively.

Impairment of real estate
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized real estate impairment charges aggregating $36.5 million,
which primarily consisted of the following:
•Impairment charges aggregating $30.8 million primarily consisting of the pre-acquisition costs related to two potential
acquisitions aggregating 1.4 million RSF of future development in our Greater Boston market. We executed purchase
agreements for these potential acquisitions with the total purchase price aggregating $366.8 million in 2020 and 2022, and we
initially expected to close these acquisitions after 2024. Our intent for each site included the demolition of existing buildings
upon expiration of the existing in-place leases and the development of life science properties. During the three months ended
June 30, 2024, due to the existing macroeconomic environment that negatively impacted the financial outlooks for these
projects, we decided to no longer proceed with these acquisitions, resulting in the recognition of impairment charges.
•Impairment charge of $5.7 million to adjust the carrying amount of one property in Canada that continued to meet the held-for-
sale classification to the sales price under negotiation with a potential buyer less costs to sell. We expect to sell this property
within 12 months.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized real estate impairment charges aggregating $189.2 million,
which primarily consisted of the following:
•Impairment charge aggregating $145.4 million to reduce the carrying amount of a three-building office campus in our Route
128 submarket to its fair value less costs to sell. We completed the sale of this campus in June 2023 for a sales price of
$109.3 million, with no gain or loss recognized in earnings.
•Impairment charge aggregating $20.6 million to further reduce the carrying amounts of primarily three non-laboratory
properties located in our Greater Boston and Texas markets to their respective estimated fair values less costs to sell. We
completed the sale of two of these properties in December 2023 and January 2024, and we expect to sell the remaining real
estate asset during the next 12 months.
•Impairment charge aggregating $17.1 million to fully write down the carrying amount of our one remaining property in Asia.
Investment income
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized an investment income aggregating $14.9 million. This
income primarily consisted of gains of $51.2 million from increases in fair values of our non-real estate investments in privately held
entities that do not report NAV and in publicly traded companies, partially offset by impairment charges of $37.8 million primarily related
to non-real estate investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized investment loss aggregating $204.1 million, which
consisted of $16.9 million of realized gains and $221.0 million of unrealized losses.
For more information about our investments, refer to Note 7 – “Investments” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements
in Item 1. For our impairments accounting policy, refer to “Investments” in Note 2 – “Summary of significant accounting policies” to our
unaudited consolidated financial statements in Item 1.
Gain on sales of real estate
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized $27.5 million of gains primarily related to the disposition of
1165 Eastlake Avenue East in our Lake Union submarket. The gains were classified in gain on sales of real estate within our
consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized $214.8 million of gains related to the dispositions of six
real estate assets. The gains were classified in gain on sales of real estate within our consolidated statement of operations for the nine
months ended September 30, 2023.
Other comprehensive loss
Total other comprehensive loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 aggregated $6.6 million, compared to total
other comprehensive loss of $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The difference is primarily due to the foreign
currency translation related to our operations in Canada.

Part I; “Item 1A. Risk factors”; and “Item 7. Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations” of our annual report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2023, as well as in “Item 1A. Risk factors” within “Part II – Other information” of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. To the extent our full-
year earnings guidance is updated during the year, we will provide additional disclosure supporting reasons for any significant changes to such guidance.
(2)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 the fourth quarter
of 2024 to the first quarter of 2025 at our fully leased development project at 230 Harriet Tubman Way in our South San Francisco submarket as reported in our Form
10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2023.
(3)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.

Consolidated and unconsolidated real estate joint ventures
We present components of balance sheet and operating results information for the noncontrolling interest share of our
consolidated real estate joint ventures and for our share of investments in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures to help investors
estimate balance sheet and operating results information related to our partially owned entities. These amounts are estimated by
computing, for each joint venture that we consolidate in our financial statements, the noncontrolling interest percentage of each financial
item to arrive at the cumulative noncontrolling interest share of each component presented. In addition, for our real estate joint ventures
that we do not control and do not consolidate, we apply our economic ownership percentage to the unconsolidated real estate joint
ventures to arrive at our proportionate share of each component presented. Refer to Note 4 – “Consolidated and unconsolidated real
estate joint ventures” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements in Item 1 for further discussion.

and/or equity securities.
We also expect to continue meeting our short-term liquidity and capital requirements, as further detailed in this section,
generally through our working capital and net cash provided by operating activities. We believe that the net cash provided by operating
activities will continue to be sufficient to enable us to make the distributions necessary to continue qualifying as a REIT.
For additional information on our liquidity requirements related to our contractual obligations and commitments, refer to
Note 5 – “Leases” and Note 10 – “Secured and unsecured senior debt” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements in Item 1.
Over the next several years, our balance sheet, capital structure, and liquidity objectives are as follows:
•Retain cash flows from operating activities after payment of dividends and distributions to noncontrolling interests for
investment in development and redevelopment projects and/or acquisitions;
•Maintain significant balance sheet liquidity;
•Improve credit profile and relative long-term cost of capital;
•Maintain diverse sources of capital, including sources from net cash provided by operating activities, unsecured debt,
secured debt, selective real estate asset sales, strategic real estate joint ventures, non-real estate investment sales, and
common stock;
•Maintain commitment to long-term capital to fund growth;
•Maintain prudent laddering of debt maturities;
•Maintain solid credit metrics;
•Prudently manage variable-rate debt exposure;
•Maintain a large, unencumbered asset pool to provide financial flexibility;
•Fund common stock dividends and distributions to noncontrolling interests from net cash provided by operating activities;
•Manage a disciplined level of development and redevelopment projects as a percentage of our gross real estate assets;
and
•Maintain high levels of pre-leasing and percentage leased in development and redevelopment projects.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $579.6 million and $660.8 million, respectively, of cash, cash
equivalents, and restricted cash. We expect existing cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, net cash provided by operating
activities, proceeds from real estate asset sales, sales of partial interests, strategic real estate joint ventures, non-real estate investment
sales, borrowings under our unsecured senior line of credit, issuances under our commercial paper program, issuances of unsecured
senior notes payable, borrowings under our secured construction loans, and issuances of common stock to continue to be sufficient to
fund our operating activities and cash commitments for investing and financing activities, such as regular quarterly dividends,
distributions to noncontrolling interests, scheduled debt repayments, acquisitions, and certain capital expenditures, including
expenditures related to construction activities.
Cash flows
We report and analyze our cash flows based on operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities. The following
table summarizes changes in our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (in thousands):
Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||||

Net cash provided by financing activities | $645,405 | $618,962 | $26,443 | ||
Operating activities
Cash flows provided by operating activities are primarily dependent upon the occupancy level of our asset base, the rental
rates of our leases, the collectibility of rent and recovery of operating expenses from our tenants, the timing of completion of
development and redevelopment projects, and the timing of acquisitions and dispositions of operating properties. Net cash provided by
operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased by $28.4 million to $1.23 billion, compared to $1.20 billion
for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to cash flows generated from our development and
redevelopment projects place into service since January 1, 2023.

Net cash used in investing activities | $1,956,959 | $2,110,556 | $(153,597) | ||
The decrease in net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 2023, was primarily due to a decrease in cash used for real estate purchases and additions, partially
offset by lower proceeds from sales of real estate. Refer to Note 3 – “Investments in real estate” to our unaudited consolidated financial
statements in Item 1 for additional information.

Capital resources
We expect that our principal liquidity needs for the year ending December 31, 2024 will be satisfied by the following multiple
sources of capital, as shown in the table below. There can be no assurance that our sources and uses of capital will not be materially
higher or lower than these expectations.

(1)Refer to “Dispositions” in Item 2 for additional detail. We expect to fund our remaining capital requirements for the year ending December 31, 2024 with real estate
dispositions. As of the date of this report, we completed real estate dispositions aggregating $319.2 million, have additional pending transactions subject to (i) non-
refundable deposits aggregating $577.2 million and (ii) executed letters of intent and/or purchase and sale agreements aggregating $602.5 million and forward equity
sales agreements aggregating $28 million, which in aggregate, represents 98% of the $1.55 billion midpoint of our guidance range. We do not expect to issue additional
equity in 2024 beyond the existing forward equity sales agreements outstanding.
(2)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.
(3)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 the fourth quarter of 2024. This cash is
expected to reduce our 2025 debt capital needs.
(4)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.
The key assumptions behind the sources and uses of capital in the table above include a favorable real estate transaction and
capital market environments, performance of our core operating properties, lease-up and delivery of current and future development
and redevelopment projects, and leasing activity. Our expected sources and uses of capital are subject to a number of variables and
uncertainties, including those discussed as “Forward-looking statements” under Part I; “Item 1A. Risk factors”; and “Item 7.
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations” of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2023; as well as in “Item 1A. Risk factors” within “Part II – Other information” of this quarterly report on Form 10-
Q. We expect to update our forecast for key sources and uses of capital on a quarterly basis.
91
Sources of capital
Net cash provided by operating activities after dividends
We expect to retain $400 million to $500 million of net cash flows from operating activities after payment of common stock
dividends, and distributions to noncontrolling interests for the year ending December 31, 2024. For purposes of this calculation,
changes in operating assets and liabilities are excluded as they represent timing differences. For the year ending December 31, 2024,
we expect our recently delivered projects, our highly development and redevelopment projects expected to be delivered, contributions
from Same Properties, and recently acquired income-producing properties to contribute increases in income from rentals, net operating
income, and cash flows. We anticipate contractual near-term growth in annual net operating income (cash basis) of $57 million related
to the commencement of contractual rents on the projects recently placed into service that are near the end of their initial free rent
period. Refer to “Cash flows” in Item 2 for a discussion of cash flows provided by operating activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 2024.
Debt
We expect to fund a portion of our capital needs for 2024 from issuances under our commercial paper program, issuances of
unsecured senior notes payable, borrowings under our unsecured senior line of credit, and/or borrowings under our secured
construction loan.
As of September 30, 2024, our unsecured senior line of credit had aggregate commitments of $5.0 billion and bore an interest
rate of SOFR plus 0.855%. In addition to the cost of borrowing, the unsecured senior line of credit is subject to an annual facility fee of
0.145% based on the aggregate commitments outstanding. Based upon our ability to achieve certain annual sustainability targets, the
interest rate and facility fee rate are also subject to upward or downward adjustments of up to four basis points with respect to the
interest rate and up to one basis point with respect to the facility fee rate.
Based on certain sustainability metrics achieved in accordance with the terms of our unsecured senior line of credit
agreement, the borrowing rate was reduced for a one-year period by two basis points to SOFR plus 0.855%, from SOFR plus 0.875%,
and the facility fee was reduced by 0.5 basis point to 0.145% from 0.15%. As of September 30, 2024, we had no outstanding balance
on our unsecured line of credit.
In September 2024, we amended and restated our unsecured senior line of credit to, among other changes, extend the
maturity date from January 22, 2028 to January 22, 2030, including extension options that we control.
Our commercial paper program provides us with the ability to issue up to $2.5 billion of commercial paper notes with a maturity
of generally 30 days or less and with a maximum maturity of 397 days from the date of issuance. Our commercial paper program is
backed by our unsecured senior line of credit, and at all times we expect to retain a minimum undrawn amount of borrowing capacity
under our unsecured senior line of credit equal to any outstanding balance under our commercial paper program. We use borrowings
under the program to fund short-term capital needs. The notes issued under our commercial paper program are sold under customary
terms in the commercial paper market. They are typically issued at a discount to par, representing a yield to maturity dictated by market
conditions at the time of issuance. In the event we are unable to issue commercial paper notes or refinance outstanding commercial
paper notes under terms equal to or more favorable than those under the unsecured senior line of credit, we expect to borrow under the
unsecured senior line of credit. The commercial paper notes sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were issued at a
weighted-average yield to maturity of 5.55%. As of September 30, 2024, we had an outstanding balance of $454.6 million under our
commercial paper program with a weighted-average interest rate of 5.05%.
In February 2024, we issued $1.0 billion of unsecured senior notes payable with a weighted-average interest rate of 5.48%
and a weighted-average maturity of 23.1 years. The unsecured senior notes consisted of $400.0 million of 5.25% unsecured senior
notes due 2036 and $600.0 million of 5.625% unsecured senior notes due 2054.

Real estate dispositions and issuances of common equity
We expect to continue to focus on the disciplined execution of select sales of real estate. Future sales will provide an important
source of capital to fund a portion of pending and recently completed acquisitions and our development and redevelopment projects,
and also provide significant capital for growth. For the year ending December 31, 2024, we expect real estate dispositions and
issuances of common equity to range from $1.1 billion to $2.1 billion. The amount of asset sales necessary to meet our forecasted
sources of capital will vary depending upon the amount of EBITDA associated with the assets sold.
Refer to Note 3 – “Investments in real estate,” Note 4 – “Consolidated and unconsolidated real estate joint ventures,” and
Note 13 – “Stockholders’ equity” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements in Item 1 and to “Dispositions” in Item 2 for
additional information on our real estate dispositions.
As a REIT, we are generally subject to a 100% tax on the net income from real estate asset sales that the IRS characterizes as
“prohibited transactions.” We do not expect our sales will be categorized as prohibited transactions. However, unless we meet certain
“safe harbor” requirements, whether a real estate asset sale is a “prohibited transaction” will be based on the facts and circumstances
of the sale. Our real estate asset sales may not always meet such “safe harbor” requirements. Refer to “Item 1A. Risk factors” of our
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for additional information about the “prohibited transaction” tax.
Common equity transactions
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, we entered into new forward equity sales agreements aggregating $28 million
to sell 230 thousand shares of common stock under our ATM program at an average price of $122.32 (before underwriting discounts).
As of September 30, 2024, the remaining aggregate amount available under our ATM program for future sales of common stock was
$1.47 billion.
Other sources
As a well-known seasoned issuer, we may, from time to time, issue securities at our discretion based on our needs and market
conditions, including, as necessary, to balance our use of incremental debt capital.
Additionally, we, together with joint venture partners, hold interests in real estate joint ventures that we consolidate in our
financial statements. These existing joint ventures provide significant equity capital to fund a portion of our future construction spend,
and our joint venture partners may also contribute equity into these entities for financing-related activities. From October 1, 2024
through December 31, 2027, we expect to receive capital contributions aggregating $1.0 billion from existing consolidated real estate
joint venture partners to fund construction. During the year ending December 31, 2024, contributions from noncontrolling interests from
existing joint venture partners are expected to aggregate $430.0 million.
93
Uses of capital
Summary of capital expenditures
One of our primary uses of capital relates to the development, redevelopment, pre-construction, and construction of properties.
We currently have projects in our development and redevelopment pipeline aggregating 5.3 million RSF of Class A/A+ properties
undergoing construction, one committed near-term project expected to commence construction in the next two years, and 1.9 million
RSF of priority anticipated development and redevelopment projects. We incur capitalized construction costs related to development,
redevelopment, pre-construction, and other construction activities. We also incur additional capitalized project costs, including interest,
property taxes, insurance, and other costs directly related and essential to the development, redevelopment, pre-construction, or
construction of a project, during periods when activities necessary to prepare an asset for its intended use are in progress. Refer to
“New Class A/A+ development and redevelopment properties: current projects” and “Summary of capital expenditures” in Item 2 for
more information on our capital expenditures.
We capitalize interest cost as a cost of the project only during the period in which activities necessary to prepare an asset for
its intended use are ongoing, provided that expenditures for the asset have been made and interest cost has been incurred. Capitalized
interest for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 of $249.4 million and $274.9 million, respectively, was classified in
investments in real estate in our consolidated balance sheets. The decrease in capitalized interest was related to a lower weighted-
average capitalized cost basis of $8.1 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $9.6 billion for the nine
months ended September 30, 2023, partially offset by an increase in weighted-average interest rate used to capitalize interest to 3.96%
for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from 3.74% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Property taxes, insurance on real estate, and indirect project costs, such as construction, administration, legal fees, and office
costs that clearly relate to projects under development or construction, are capitalized as incurred during the period an asset is
undergoing activities to prepare it for its intended use. We capitalized payroll and other indirect costs related to development,
redevelopment, pre-construction, and construction projects, aggregating $76.8 million and $74.5 million, and property taxes, insurance
on real estate, and indirect project costs aggregating $96.5 million and $96.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024
and 2023, respectively.
The decrease in our capitalized costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023,
was primarily driven by a reduction in the average real estate basis of our development and redevelopment pipeline following significant
deliveries in 2023, most of which were placed into service during the fourth quarter of 2023. Pre-construction activities include
entitlements, permitting, design, site work, and other activities preceding commencement of construction of aboveground building
improvements. The advancement of pre-construction efforts is focused on reducing the time required to deliver projects to prospective
tenants. These critical activities add significant value for future ground-up development and are required for the vertical construction of
buildings. Should we cease activities necessary to prepare an asset for its intended use, the interest, taxes, insurance, and certain
other direct and indirect project costs related to the asset would be expensed as incurred. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance
are expensed as incurred.
Fluctuations in our development, redevelopment, and construction activities could result in significant changes to total
expenses and net income. For example, had we experienced a 10% reduction in development, redevelopment, and construction
activities without a corresponding decrease in indirect project costs, including interest and payroll, total expenses would have increased
by approximately $42.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
We use third-party brokers to assist in our leasing activity, who are paid on a contingent basis upon successful leasing. We are
required to capitalize initial direct costs related to successful leasing transactions that result directly from and are essential to the lease
transaction and would not have been incurred had that lease transaction not been successfully executed. During the nine months
ended September 30, 2024, we capitalized total initial direct leasing costs of $67.0 million. Costs that we incur to negotiate or arrange a
lease regardless of its outcome, such as fixed employee compensation, tax, or legal advice to negotiate lease terms, and other costs,
are expensed as incurred.
94
Acquisitions
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the purchase price of our completed acquisitions aggregated
$201.8 million. As of September 30, 2024, the total purchase price of our pending acquisitions under executed letters of intent and/or
purchase and sale agreements expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2024 and in 2025 aggregated $47.6 million and $47.8
million, respectively. In October 2024, we completed one acquisition pending as of September 30, 2024 for a purchase price of $47.6
million. For additional information, refer to Note 16 – “Subsequent events” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements in Item 1.
For the year ending December 31, 2024, we expect real estate acquisitions to range from $250 million to $750 million.
Refer to “Acquisitions” in Note 3 – “Investments in real estate” and to Note 4 – “Consolidated and unconsolidated real estate
joint ventures” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements in Item 1, and “Acquisitions” in Item 2 for information on our
acquisitions.
Dividends
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we paid common stock dividends of $671.4 million and
$633.0 million, respectively. The increase of $38.3 million in dividends paid on our common stock during the nine months ended
September 30, 2024, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, was primarily due to an increase in the number of
common shares outstanding subsequent to January 1, 2023 as a result of settled forward equity sales agreements, and an increase in
the related dividends paid to $3.84 per common share during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from $3.66 per common
share during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Secured notes payable
Secured notes payable as of September 30, 2024 consisted of three notes secured by two properties. Our secured notes
payable typically require monthly payments of principal and interest and had a weighted-average interest rate of approximately 8.39%.
As of September 30, 2024, the total book value of our investments in real estate securing debt was approximately $364.3 million. As of
September 30, 2024, our secured notes payable, including unamortized discounts and deferred financing costs, comprised
approximately $587 thousand and $144.4 million of fixed-rate debt and unhedged variable-rate debt, respectively.
As of September 30, 2024, our unconsolidated real estate joint venture, in which we hold a 10% ownership interest, located at
1655 and 1725 Third Street in our Mission Bay submarket, has a $600.0 million secured loan outstanding maturing on March 10, 2025.
The unconsolidated real estate joint venture is in the process of working with prospective lenders to refinance this debt. In the event that
all or a portion of the debt cannot be refinanced, we may consider contributing additional equity into this unconsolidated real estate joint
venture.
Unsecured senior notes payable and unsecured senior line of credit
The requirements of, and our actual performance with respect to, the key financial covenants under our unsecured senior
notes payable as of September 30, 2024 were as follows:
Covenant Ratios(1) | Requirement | September 30, 2024 | ||
Total Debt to Total Assets | Less than or equal to 60% | 30% | ||
Secured Debt to Total Assets | Less than or equal to 40% | 0.3% | ||
Consolidated EBITDA(2) to Interest Expense | Greater than or equal to 1.5x | 12.3x | ||
Unencumbered Total Asset Value to Unsecured Debt | Greater than or equal to 150% | 326% |
(1)All covenant ratio titles utilize terms as defined in the respective debt agreements.
(2)The calculation of consolidated EBITDA is based on the definitions contained in our loan agreements and is not directly comparable to the computation of EBITDA as
described in Exchange Act Release No. 47226.
In addition, the terms of the indentures, among other things, limit the ability of the Company, Alexandria Real Estate Equities,
L.P., and the Company’s subsidiaries to (i) consummate a merger, or consolidate or sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets,
and (ii) incur certain secured or unsecured indebtedness.
95
The requirements of, and our actual performance with respect to, the key financial covenants under our unsecured senior line
of credit as of September 30, 2024 were as follows:
Covenant Ratios(1) | Requirement | September 30, 2024 | ||
Leverage Ratio | Less than or equal to 60.0% | 29.7% | ||
Secured Debt Ratio | Less than or equal to 45.0% | 0.3% | ||
Fixed-Charge Coverage Ratio | Greater than or equal to 1.50x | 3.95x | ||
Unsecured Interest Coverage Ratio | Greater than or equal to 1.75x | 12.55x |
(1)All covenant ratio titles utilize terms as defined in the credit agreement.
Estimated interest payments
Estimated interest payments on our fixed-rate debt are calculated based upon contractual interest rates, including interest
payment dates and scheduled maturity dates. As of September 30, 2024, 95.3% of our debt was fixed-rate debt. For additional
information regarding our debt, refer to Note 10 – “Secured and unsecured senior debt” to our unaudited consolidated financial
statements in Item 1.
Ground lease obligations
Ground lease obligations as of September 30, 2024 included leases for 36 of our properties and accounted for approximately
9% of our total number of properties. Among these 36 properties, 17 properties are subject to ground leases with a weighted-average
remaining lease term of 41 years, including extension options that we are reasonably certain to exercise. These leases are with a single
lessor in our Greater Stanford submarket, with whom we have extended three ground leases over the past 10 years.
Our remaining 19 properties subject to ground leases are located across multiple submarkets and have remaining lease terms
ranging from approximately 46 to 97 years. The weighted-average remaining lease term of these ground leases is 70 years, including
extension options that we are reasonably certain to exercise.
In many cases, we seek to extend our ground leases well ahead of their scheduled contractual expirations. If we are
successful in extending ground leases, we could see significant up-front or increased recurring future payments to the ground lessor
and/or increased ground lease expense, which may require us to increase our capital funding needs.
Operating lease agreements
As of September 30, 2024, the remaining contractual payments under ground and office lease agreements in which we are the
lessee aggregated $1.1 billion and $25.3 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, our operating lease liability, calculated as the
present value of the remaining payments aggregating $1.1 billion under our operating lease agreements, including our extension
options that we are reasonably certain to exercise, was $648.3 million, which was classified in accounts payable, accrued expenses,
and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2024, the weighted-average remaining lease term of
operating leases in which we are the lessee was approximately 49 years, including extension options that we are reasonably certain to
exercise, and the weighted-average discount rate was 5.1%. Our corresponding operating lease right-of-use assets, adjusted for initial
direct leasing costs and other consideration exchanged with the landlord prior to the commencement of the lease, aggregated $776.7
million. We classify the right-of-use asset in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. Refer to “Lease accounting” in Note 2 –
“Summary of significant accounting policies” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements in Item 1 for additional information.
Included in the aforementioned September 30, 2024 balances is the ground lease recorded in July 2024 upon our execution of
an amendment to our existing ground lease agreement at the Alexandria Technology Square® mega campus aggregating 1.2 million
RSF in our Cambridge submarket, which extended the term by 24 years from January 1, 2065 to December 31, 2088. The amendment
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. Alexandria Technology Square® is a foundational mega campus in the
heart of the global life science ecosystem in Cambridge and is the Greater Boston base of operations of key strategic tenants such as
Novartis AG, GlaxoSmithKline plc, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Mass General Brigham. Securing this ground lease
through December 2088 significantly enhances the long-term value of our investment in this critical mega campus.
Commitments
As of September 30, 2024, remaining aggregate costs under contract for the construction of properties undergoing
development, redevelopment, and improvements under the terms of leases approximated $1.3 billion. We expect payments for these
obligations to occur over one to three years, subject to capital planning adjustments from time to time. We may have the ability to cease
the construction of certain projects, which would result in the reduction of our commitments.
96
As of September 30, 2024, the purchase price of pending acquisitions under executed letters of intent and/or purchase and
sale agreements expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2024 and in 2025, aggregated $47.6 million and $47.8 million,
respectively. In October 2024, we completed one acquisition pending as of September 30, 2024 for a purchase price of $47.6 million.
For additional information, refer to Note 16 – “Subsequent events” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements in Item 1. In
addition, we have letters of credit and performance obligations aggregating $29.5 million primarily related to our development and
redevelopment projects.
We are committed to funding approximately $406.0 million related to our non-real estate investments. These funding
commitments are primarily associated with our investments in privately held entities that report NAV and expire at various dates over
the next 12 years, with a weighted-average expiration of 8.1 years as of September 30, 2024.
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. Refer to “Operating lease
agreements” above for additional details.
Exposure to environmental liabilities
In connection with the acquisition of all of our properties, we have obtained Phase I environmental assessments to ascertain
the existence of any environmental liabilities or other issues. The Phase I environmental assessments of our properties have not
revealed any environmental liabilities that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of
operations taken as a whole, nor are we aware of any material environmental liabilities that have occurred since the Phase I
environmental assessments were completed. In addition, we carry a policy of pollution legal liability insurance covering exposure to
certain environmental losses at substantially all of our properties.
Foreign currency translation gains and losses
The following table presents the change in accumulated other comprehensive loss attributable to Alexandria Real Estate
Equities, Inc.’s stockholders during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 primarily due to the changes in the foreign exchange
rates for our real estate investments in Canada (in thousands). We reclassify unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses
into net income as we dispose of these holdings.

Reclassification adjustment for gains included in net income | 125 | |
Net other comprehensive loss | (6,633) | |
Balance as of September 30, 2024 | $(22,529) |
Inflation
As of September 30, 2024, approximately 93% of our leases (on an annual rental revenue basis) were triple net leases, which
require tenants to pay substantially all real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, repairs and maintenance, common area expenses, and
other operating expenses (including increases thereto) in addition to base rent. Approximately 96% of our leases (on an annual rental
revenue basis) contained effective annual rent escalations approximating 3% that were either fixed or indexed based on a consumer
price index or other indices. Accordingly, we do not believe that our cash flows or earnings from real estate operations are subject to
significant risks from inflation. A period of inflation, however, could cause an increase in the cost of our variable-rate borrowings,
including borrowings under our unsecured senior line of credit and commercial paper program, issuances of unsecured senior notes
payable, and borrowings under our secured construction loans, and secured loans held by our unconsolidated real estate joint ventures.

Definitions and reconciliations
This section contains additional information on certain non-GAAP financial measures, including reconciliations to the most
directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP and the reasons why we use these
supplemental measures of performance and believe they provide useful information to investors, as well as the definitions of other
terms used in this report.
Funds from operations and funds from operations, as adjusted, attributable to Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc.’s common
stockholders
GAAP-basis accounting for real estate assets utilizes historical cost accounting and assumes that real estate values diminish
over time. In an effort to overcome the difference between real estate values and historical cost accounting for real estate assets, the
Nareit Board of Governors established funds from operations as an improved measurement tool. Since its introduction, funds from
operations has become a widely used non-GAAP financial measure among equity REITs. We believe that funds from operations is
helpful to investors as an additional measure of the performance of an equity REIT. Moreover, we believe that funds from operations, as
adjusted, allows investors to compare our performance to the performance of other real estate companies on a consistent basis, without
having to account for differences recognized because of real estate acquisition and disposition decisions, financing decisions, capital
structure, capital market transactions, variances resulting from the volatility of market conditions outside of our control, or other
corporate activities that may not be representative of the operating performance of our properties.
The 2018 White Paper published by the Nareit Board of Governors (the “Nareit White Paper”) defines funds from operations as
net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses on sales of real estate, and impairments of real estate, plus
depreciation and amortization of operating real estate assets, and after adjustments for our share of consolidated and unconsolidated
partnerships and real estate joint ventures. Impairments represent the write-down of assets when fair value over the recoverability
period is less than the carrying value due to changes in general market conditions and do not necessarily reflect the operating
performance of the properties during the corresponding period.
We compute funds from operations, as adjusted, as funds from operations calculated in accordance with the Nareit White
Paper, excluding significant gains, losses, and impairments realized on non-real estate investments, unrealized gains or losses on non-
real estate investments, impairment of real estate primarily consisting of pre-acquisition costs incurred in connection with acquisitions
we decided to no longer pursue, gains or losses on early extinguishment of debt, significant termination fees, acceleration of stock
compensation expense due to the resignations of executive officers, deal costs, the income tax effect related to such items, and the
amount of such items that is allocable to our unvested restricted stock awards. We compute the amount that is allocable to our
unvested restricted stock awards using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, we allocate net income (after amounts
attributable to noncontrolling interests) to common stockholders and to unvested restricted stock awards by applying the respective
weighted-average shares outstanding during each quarter-to-date and year-to-date period. This may result in a difference of the
summation of the quarter-to-date and year-to-date amounts. Neither funds from operations nor funds from operations, as adjusted,
should be considered as alternatives to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as indications of financial performance, or to
cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as measures of liquidity, nor are they indicative of the
availability of funds for our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions.
The following table reconciles net income to funds from operations for the share of consolidated real estate joint ventures
attributable to noncontrolling interests and our share of unconsolidated real estate joint ventures for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2024 (in thousands):

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin
We use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure of our operations, for financial and operational decision-
making, and as a supplemental means of evaluating period-to-period comparisons on a consistent basis. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated
as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), excluding stock compensation expense, gains or losses
on early extinguishment of debt, gains or losses on sales of real estate, impairments of real estate, and significant termination fees.
Adjusted EBITDA also excludes unrealized gains or losses and significant realized gains or losses and impairments that result from our
non-real estate investments. These non-real estate investment amounts are classified in our consolidated statements of operations
outside of total revenues.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with relevant and useful information as it allows investors to evaluate the
operating performance of our business activities without having to account for differences recognized because of investing and
financing decisions related to our real estate and non-real estate investments, our capital structure, capital market transactions, and
variances resulting from the volatility of market conditions outside of our control. For example, we exclude gains or losses on the early
extinguishment of debt to allow investors to measure our performance independent of our indebtedness and capital structure. We
believe that adjusting for the effects of impairments and gains or losses on sales of real estate, significant impairments and realized
gains or losses on non-real estate investments, and significant termination fees allows investors to evaluate performance from period to
period on a consistent basis without having to account for differences recognized because of investing and financing decisions related
to our real estate and non-real estate investments or other corporate activities that may not be representative of the operating
performance of our properties.
In addition, we believe that excluding charges related to stock compensation and unrealized gains or losses facilitates for
investors a comparison of our business activities across periods without the volatility resulting from market forces outside of our control.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as a measure of our performance. Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our historical expenditures or
future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments. While Adjusted EBITDA is a relevant measure of performance,
it does not represent net income (loss) or cash flows from operations calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, and it should
not be considered as an alternative to those indicators in evaluating performance or liquidity.
In order to calculate the Adjusted EBITDA margin, we divide Adjusted EBITDA by total revenues as presented in our
consolidated statements of operations. We believe that this supplemental performance measure provides investors with additional
useful information regarding the profitability of our operating activities.
We are not able to forecast fourth quarter net income without unreasonable effort and therefore do not provide a reconciliation
for Adjusted EBITDA on a forward-looking basis. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and/or amount of items
that depend on market conditions outside of our control, including the timing of dispositions, capital events, and financing decisions, as
well as quarterly components such as gain on sales of real estate, unrealized gains or losses on non-real estate investments,
impairment of real estate, and impairment of non-real estate investments. Our attempt to predict these amounts may produce significant
but inaccurate estimates, which would be potentially misleading for our investors.

The following table reconciles net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in
accordance with GAAP, to Adjusted EBITDA and calculates the Adjusted EBITDA margin for the three and nine months ended

Annual rental revenue
Annual rental revenue represents the annualized fixed base rental obligations, calculated in accordance with GAAP, including
the amortization of deferred revenue related to tenant-funded and -built landlord improvements, for leases in effect as of the end of the
period, related to our operating RSF. Annual rental revenue is presented using 100% of the annual rental revenue from our consolidated
properties and our share of annual rental revenue for our unconsolidated real estate joint ventures. Annual rental revenue per RSF is
computed by dividing annual rental revenue by the sum of 100% of the RSF of our consolidated properties and our share of the RSF of
properties held in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures. As of September 30, 2024, approximately 93% of our leases (on an annual
rental revenue basis) were triple net leases, which require tenants to pay substantially all real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, repairs
and maintenance, common area expenses, and other operating expenses (including increases thereto) in addition to base rent. Annual
rental revenue excludes these operating expenses recovered from our tenants. Amounts recovered from our tenants related to these
operating expenses, along with base rent, are classified in income from rentals in our consolidated statements of operations.
Capitalization rates
Capitalization rates are calculated based on net operating income and net operating income (cash basis) annualized,
excluding lease termination fees, on stabilized operating assets for the quarter preceding the date on which the property is sold, or
near-term prospective net operating income.
Capitalized interest
We capitalize interest cost as a cost of a project during periods for which activities necessary to develop, redevelop, or
reposition a project for its intended use are ongoing, provided that expenditures for the asset have been made and interest cost has
been incurred. Activities necessary to develop, redevelop, or reposition a project include pre-construction activities such as
entitlements, permitting, design, site work, and other activities preceding commencement of construction of aboveground building
improvements. The advancement of pre-construction efforts is focused on reducing the time required to deliver projects to prospective
tenants. These critical activities add significant value for future ground-up development and are required for the vertical construction of
buildings. If we cease activities necessary to prepare a project for its intended use, interest costs related to such project are expensed
as incurred.
Cash interest
Cash interest is equal to interest expense calculated in accordance with GAAP plus capitalized interest, less amortization of
loan fees and debt premiums (discounts). Refer to “Fixed-charge coverage ratio” in this section for a reconciliation of interest expense,
the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, to cash interest.
103
Class A/A+ properties and AAA locations
Class A/A+ properties are properties clustered in AAA locations that provide 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. Class A/A+ properties generally command higher annual rental rates than other classes of similar
properties. AAA locations are in close proximity to concentrations of specialized skills, knowledge, institutions, and related businesses.
Development, redevelopment, and pre-construction
A key component of our business model is our disciplined allocation of capital to the development and redevelopment of new
Class A/A+ properties, and property enhancements identified during the underwriting of certain acquired properties, located in
collaborative mega campuses in AAA life science innovation clusters. These projects are generally focused on providing high-quality,
generic, and reusable spaces that meet the real estate requirements of a wide range of tenants. Upon completion, each development
and redevelopment project is expected to generate increases in rental income, net operating income, and cash flows. Our development
and redevelopment projects are generally in locations that are highly desirable to high-quality entities, which we believe results in higher
occupancy levels, longer lease terms, higher rental income, higher returns, and greater long-term asset value.
Development projects generally consist of the ground-up development of generic and reusable laboratory facilities.
Redevelopment projects consist of the permanent change in use of acquired office, warehouse, or shell space into laboratory space.
We generally will not commence new development projects for aboveground construction of new Class A/A+ laboratory space without
first securing significant pre-leasing for such space, except when there is solid market demand for high-quality Class A/A+ properties.
Priority anticipated projects are those most likely to commence future ground-up development or first-time conversion from
non-laboratory space to laboratory space prior to our other future projects, pending market conditions and leasing negotiations.
Pre-construction activities include entitlements, permitting, design, site work, and other activities preceding commencement of
construction of aboveground building improvements. The advancement of pre-construction efforts is focused on reducing the time
required to deliver projects to prospective tenants. These critical activities add significant value for future ground-up development and
are required for the vertical construction of buildings. Ultimately, these projects will provide high-quality facilities and are expected to
generate significant revenue and cash flows.
Development, redevelopment, and pre-construction spending also includes the following costs: (i) amounts to bring certain
acquired properties up to market standard and/or other costs identified during the acquisition process (generally within two years of
acquisition) and (ii) permanent conversion of space for highly flexible, move-in-ready laboratory space to foster the growth of promising
early- and growth-stage life science companies.
Revenue-enhancing and repositioning capital expenditures represent spending to reposition or significantly change the use of
a property, including through improvement in the asset quality from Class B to Class A/A+.
Non-revenue-enhancing capital expenditures represent costs required to maintain the current revenues of a stabilized
property, including the associated costs for renewed and re-leased space.
Dividend payout ratio (common stock)
Dividend payout ratio (common stock) is the ratio of the absolute dollar amount of dividends on our common stock (shares of
common stock outstanding on the respective record dates multiplied by the related dividend per share) to funds from operations
attributable to Alexandria’s common stockholders – diluted, as adjusted.
Dividend yield
Dividend yield for the quarter represents the annualized quarter dividend divided by the closing common stock price at the end
of the quarter.
104
Fixed-charge coverage ratio
Fixed-charge coverage ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure representing the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to cash interest and
fixed charges. We believe that this ratio is useful to investors as a supplemental measure of our ability to satisfy fixed financing
obligations and preferred stock dividends. Cash interest is equal to interest expense calculated in accordance with GAAP plus
capitalized interest, less amortization of loan fees and debt premiums (discounts).
The following table reconciles interest expense, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in
accordance with GAAP, to cash interest and computes fixed-charge coverage ratio for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2024 and 2023 (dollars in thousands):

– trailing 12 months | 4.5x | 4.9x | 4.5x | 4.9x | ||||
We are not able to forecast fourth quarter net income without unreasonable effort and therefore do not provide a reconciliation
for fixed-charge coverage ratio on a forward-looking basis. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and/or amount
of items that depend on market conditions outside of our control, including the timing of dispositions, capital events, and financing
decisions, as well as quarterly components such as gain on sales of real estate, unrealized gains or losses on non-real estate
investments, impairment of real estate, and impairment of non-real estate investments. Our attempt to predict these amounts may
produce significant but inaccurate estimates, which would be potentially misleading for our investors.
Gross assets
Gross assets are calculated as total assets plus accumulated depreciation as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023
(in thousands):
September 30, 2024 | December 31, 2023 | ||
Total assets | $38,488,128 | $36,771,402 | |
Accumulated depreciation | 5,624,642 | 4,985,019 | |
Gross assets | $44,112,770 | $41,756,421 | |
Initial stabilized yield (unlevered)
Initial stabilized yield is calculated as the estimated amounts of net operating income at stabilization divided by our investment
in the property. For this calculation, we exclude any tenant-funded and -built landlord improvements from our investment in the property.
Our initial stabilized yield excludes the benefit of leverage. Our cash rents related to our development and redevelopment projects are
generally expected to increase over time due to contractual annual rent escalations. Our estimates for initial stabilized yields, initial
stabilized yields (cash basis), and total costs at completion represent our initial estimates at the commencement of the project. We
expect to update this information upon completion of the project, or sooner if there are significant changes to the expected project yields
or costs.
•Initial stabilized yield reflects rental income, including contractual rent escalations and any rent concessions over the
term(s) of the lease(s), calculated on a straight-line basis, and any amortization of deferred revenue related to tenant-
funded and -built landlord improvements.
•Initial stabilized yield (cash basis) reflects cash rents at the stabilization date after initial rental concessions, if any, have
elapsed and our total cash investment in the property.
105
Investment-grade or publicly traded large cap tenants
Investment-grade or publicly traded large cap tenants represent tenants that are investment-grade rated or publicly traded
companies with an average daily market capitalization greater than $10 billion for the twelve months ended September 30, 2024, as
reported by Bloomberg Professional Services. Credit ratings from Moody’s Ratings and S&P Global Ratings reflect credit ratings of the
tenant’s parent entity, and there can be no assurance that a tenant’s parent entity will satisfy the tenant’s lease obligation upon such
tenant’s default. We monitor the credit quality and related material changes of our tenants. Material changes that cause a tenant’s
market capitalization to decrease below $10 billion, which are not immediately reflected in the twelve-month average, may result in their
exclusion from this measure.
Investments in real estate

Joint venture financial information
We present components of balance sheet and operating results information related to our real estate joint ventures, which are
not presented, or intended to be presented, in accordance with GAAP. We present the proportionate share of certain financial line items
as follows: (i) for each real estate joint venture that we consolidate in our financial statements, which are controlled by us through
contractual rights or majority voting rights, but of which we own less than 100%, we apply the noncontrolling interest economic
ownership percentage to each financial item to arrive at the amount of such cumulative noncontrolling interest share of each component
presented; and (ii) for each real estate joint venture that we do not control and do not consolidate, and are instead controlled jointly or
by our joint venture partners through contractual rights or majority voting rights, we apply our economic ownership percentage to each
financial item to arrive at our proportionate share of each component presented.
The components of balance sheet and operating results information related to our real estate joint ventures do not represent
our legal claim to those items. For each entity that we do not wholly own, the joint venture agreement generally determines what equity
holders can receive upon capital events, such as sales or refinancing, or in the event of a liquidation. Equity holders are normally
entitled to their respective legal ownership of any residual cash from a joint venture only after all liabilities, priority distributions, and
claims have been repaid or satisfied.
We believe that this information can help investors estimate the balance sheet and operating results information related to our
partially owned entities. Presenting this information provides a perspective not immediately available from consolidated financial
statements and one that can supplement an understanding of the joint venture assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses included in
our consolidated results.
The components of balance sheet and operating results information related to our real estate joint ventures are limited as an
analytical tool as the overall economic ownership interest does not represent our legal claim to each of our joint ventures’ assets,
liabilities, or results of operations. In addition, joint venture financial information may include financial information related to the
unconsolidated real estate joint ventures that we do not control. We believe that in order to facilitate for investors a clear understanding
of our operating results and our total assets and liabilities, joint venture financial information should be examined in conjunction with our
consolidated statements of operations and balance sheets. Joint venture financial information should not be considered an alternative
to our consolidated financial statements, which are presented and prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Mega campus
Mega campuses are cluster campuses that consist of approximately 1 million RSF or more, including operating, active
development/redevelopment, and land RSF less operating RSF expected to be demolished. The following table reconciles our annual
rental revenue and development and redevelopment pipeline RSF as of September 30, 2024 (dollars in thousands):
Annual Rental Revenue | Development and Redevelopment Pipeline RSF | |||

Mega campus as a percentage of annual rental revenue and of total development and redevelopment pipeline RSF | 76% | 69% |
Net cash provided by operating activities after dividends
Net cash provided by operating activities after dividends includes the deduction for distributions to noncontrolling interests. For
purposes of this calculation, changes in operating assets and liabilities are excluded as they represent timing differences.
108
Net debt and preferred stock to Adjusted EBITDA
Net debt and preferred stock to Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe is useful to investors as a
supplemental measure of evaluating our balance sheet leverage. Net debt and preferred stock is equal to the sum of total consolidated
debt less cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, plus preferred stock outstanding as of the end of the period. Refer to “Adjusted
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin” in this section for further information on the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA.
We are not able to forecast fourth quarter net income without unreasonable effort and therefore do not provide a reconciliation
for net debt and preferred stock to Adjusted EBITDA on a forward-looking basis. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the
timing and/or amount of items that depend on market conditions outside of our control, including the timing of dispositions, capital
events, and financing decisions, as well as quarterly components such as gain on sales of real estate, unrealized gains or losses on
non-real estate investments, impairment of real estate, and impairment of non-real estate investments. Our attempt to predict these
amounts may produce significant but inaccurate estimates, which would be potentially misleading for our investors.

Net operating income is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial
measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, excluding equity in the earnings of our unconsolidated real estate joint
ventures, general and administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, impairments of real estate, gains or
losses on early extinguishment of debt, gains or losses on sales of real estate, and investment income or loss. We believe net operating
income provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because it primarily reflects
those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level. Therefore, we believe net operating income is a useful measure
for investors to evaluate the operating performance of our consolidated real estate assets. Net operating income on a cash basis is net
operating income adjusted to exclude the effect of straight-line rent, amortization of acquired above- and below-market lease revenue,
and amortization of deferred revenue related to tenant-funded and -built landlord improvements adjustments required by GAAP. We
believe that net operating income on a cash basis is helpful to investors as an additional measure of operating performance because it
eliminates straight-line rent revenue and the amortization of acquired above- and below-market leases and tenant-funded and -built
landlord improvements.
110
Furthermore, we believe net operating income is useful to investors as a performance measure of our consolidated properties
because, when compared across periods, net operating income reflects trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, and operating costs,
which provide a perspective not immediately apparent from net income or loss. Net operating income can be used to measure the initial
stabilized yields of our properties by calculating net operating income generated by a property divided by our investment in the property.
Net operating income excludes certain components from net income in order to provide results that are more closely related to the
results of operations of our properties. For example, interest expense is not necessarily linked to the operating performance of a real
estate asset and is often incurred at the corporate level rather than at the property level. In addition, depreciation and amortization,
because of historical cost accounting and useful life estimates, may distort comparability of operating performance at the property level.
Impairments of real estate have been excluded in deriving net operating income because we do not consider impairments of real estate
to be property-level operating expenses. Impairments of real estate relate to changes in the values of our assets and do not reflect the
current operating performance with respect to related revenues or expenses. Our impairments of real estate represent the write-down in
the value of the assets to the estimated fair value less cost to sell. These impairments result from investing decisions or a deterioration
in market conditions. We also exclude realized and unrealized investment gain or loss, which results from investment decisions that
occur at the corporate level related to non-real estate investments in publicly traded companies and certain privately held entities.
Therefore, we do not consider these activities to be an indication of operating performance of our real estate assets at the property
level. Our calculation of net operating income also excludes charges incurred from changes in certain financing decisions, such as
losses on early extinguishment of debt, as these charges often relate to corporate strategy. Property operating expenses included in
determining net operating income primarily consist of costs that are related to our operating properties, such as utilities, repairs, and
maintenance; rental expense related to ground leases; contracted services, such as janitorial, engineering, and landscaping; property
taxes and insurance; and property-level salaries. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of accounting and corporate
compensation, corporate insurance, professional fees, rent, and supplies that are incurred as part of corporate office management. We
calculate operating margin as net operating income divided by total revenues.
We believe that in order to facilitate for investors a clear understanding of our operating results, net operating income should
be examined in conjunction with net income or loss as presented in our consolidated statements of operations. Net operating income
should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss as an indication of our performance, nor as an alternative to cash flows
as a measure of our liquidity or our ability to make distributions.
Operating statistics
We present certain operating statistics related to our properties, including number of properties, RSF, occupancy percentage,
leasing activity, and contractual lease expirations as of the end of the period. We believe these measures are useful to investors
because they facilitate an understanding of certain trends for our properties. We compute the number of properties, RSF, occupancy
percentage, leasing activity, and contractual lease expirations at 100%, excluding RSF at properties classified as held for sale, for all
properties in which we have an investment, including properties owned by our consolidated and unconsolidated real estate joint
ventures. For operating metrics based on annual rental revenue, refer to “Annual rental revenue” in this section.
Same property comparisons
As a result of changes within our total property portfolio during the comparative periods presented, including changes from
assets acquired or sold, properties placed into development or redevelopment, and development or redevelopment properties recently
placed into service, the consolidated total income from rentals, as well as rental operating expenses in our operating results, can show
significant changes from period to period. In order to supplement an evaluation of our results of operations over a given quarterly or
annual period, we analyze the operating performance for all consolidated properties that were fully operating for the entirety of the
comparative periods presented, referred to as same properties. We separately present quarterly and year-to-date same property results
to align with the interim financial information required by the SEC in our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial
condition and results of operations. These same properties are analyzed separately from properties acquired subsequent to the first day
in the earliest comparable quarterly or year-to-date period presented, properties that underwent development or redevelopment at any
time during the comparative periods, unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, properties classified as held for sale, and corporate
entities (legal entities performing general and administrative functions), which are excluded from same property results. Additionally,
termination fees, if any, are excluded from the results of same properties. Refer to “Same properties” in Item 2 for additional information.
Stabilized occupancy date
The stabilized occupancy date represents the estimated date on which the project is expected to reach occupancy of 95% or
greater.
111
Tenant recoveries
Tenant recoveries represent revenues comprising reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, repairs and
maintenance, common area expenses, and other operating expenses and earned in the period during which the applicable expenses
are incurred and the tenant’s obligation to reimburse us arises.
We classify rental revenues and tenant recoveries generated through the leasing of real estate assets within revenues in
income from rentals in our consolidated statements of operations. We provide investors with a separate presentation of rental revenues
and tenant recoveries in “Results of operations” in Item 2 because we believe it promotes investors’ understanding of our operating
results. We believe that the presentation of tenant recoveries is useful to investors as a supplemental measure of our ability to recover
operating expenses under our triple net leases, including recoveries of utilities, repairs and maintenance, insurance, property taxes,
common area expenses, and other operating expenses, and of our ability to mitigate the effect to net income for any significant
variability to components of our operating expenses.
The following table reconciles income from rentals to tenant recoveries for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2024 and 2023 (in thousands):
Three Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | |||||||

Total equity capitalization
Total equity capitalization is equal to the outstanding shares of common stock multiplied by the closing price on the last trading
day at the end of each period presented.
Total market capitalization
Total market capitalization is equal to the sum of total equity capitalization and total debt.
Unencumbered net operating income as a percentage of total net operating income
Unencumbered net operating income as a percentage of total net operating income is a non-GAAP financial measure that we
believe is useful to investors as a performance measure of the results of operations of our unencumbered real estate assets as it
reflects those income and expense items that are incurred at the unencumbered property level. Unencumbered net operating income is
derived from assets classified in continuing operations, which are not subject to any mortgage, deed of trust, lien, or other security
interest, as of the period for which income is presented.
The following table summarizes unencumbered net operating income as a percentage of total net operating income for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (dollars in thousands):
Three Months Ended September 30, | Nine Months Ended September 30, | ||||||

112
Weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding – diluted
From time to time, we enter into capital market transactions, including forward equity sales agreements (“Forward
Agreements”), to fund acquisitions, to fund construction of our development and redevelopment projects, and for general working
capital purposes. We are required to consider the potential dilutive effect of our Forward Agreements under the treasury stock method
while the Forward Agreements are outstanding. As of September 30, 2024, we had Forward Agreements outstanding to sell an
aggregate of 230 thousand shares of common stock. Refer to Note 13 – “Stockholders’ equity” to our unaudited consolidated financial
statements in Item 1 for additional information.
The weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding used in calculating EPS – diluted, funds from operations per
share – diluted, and funds from operations per share – diluted, as adjusted, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024
and 2023 are calculated as follows. Also shown are the weighted-average unvested shares associated with restricted stock awards

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest rate risk
The primary market risk to which we believe we may be exposed is interest rate risk, which may result from many factors,
including government monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations, and other factors
that are beyond our control.
In order to modify and manage the interest rate characteristics of our outstanding debt and to limit the effects of interest rate
risks on our operations, we may utilize a variety of financial instruments, including interest rate hedge agreements, caps, floors, and
other interest rate exchange contracts. The use of these types of instruments to hedge a portion of our exposure to changes in interest
rates may carry additional risks, such as counterparty credit risk and the legal enforceability of hedge agreements. As of September 30,
2024, we did not have any outstanding interest rate hedge agreements.
Our future earnings and fair values relating to our outstanding debt are primarily dependent upon prevalent market rates of
interest. The following tables illustrate the effect of a 1% change in interest rates, assuming a zero percent interest rate floor, on our
fixed- and variable-rate debt as of September 30, 2024 (in thousands):
Annualized effect on future earnings due to variable-rate debt: | |
Rate increase of 1% | $(1,166) |
Rate decrease of 1% | $1,166 |
Effect on fair value of total consolidated debt: | |
Rate increase of 1% | $(824,796) |
Rate decrease of 1% | $945,937 |
These amounts are determined by considering the effect of the hypothetical interest rates on our borrowings as of
September 30, 2024. These analyses do not consider the effects of the reduced level of overall economic activity that could exist in
such an environment. Furthermore, in the event of a change of such magnitude, we would consider taking actions to further mitigate our
exposure to the change. Because of the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, the sensitivity
analyses assume no changes in our capital structure.
Equity price risk
We have exposure to equity price market risk because we hold equity investments in publicly traded companies and privately
held entities. All of our investments in actively traded public companies are reflected in our consolidated balance sheets at fair value.
Our investments in privately held entities that report NAV per share are measured at fair value using NAV as a practical expedient to fair
value. Our equity investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV per share are measured at cost less impairments,
adjusted for observable price changes during the period. Changes in fair value of public investments, changes in NAV per share
reported by privately held entities, and observable price changes of privately held entities that do not report NAV per share are
classified as investment income in our consolidated statements of operations. There is no assurance that future declines in value will
not have a material adverse effect on our future results of operations. The following table illustrates the effect that a 10% change in the
value of our equity investments would have on earnings as of September 30, 2024 (in thousands):
Equity price risk: | |
Fair value increase of 10% | $151,933 |
Fair value decrease of 10% | $(151,933) |
114
Foreign currency exchange rate risk
We have exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk related to our subsidiaries operating in Canada. The functional
currencies of our foreign subsidiaries are the local currencies in each respective country. Gains or losses resulting from the translation
of our foreign subsidiaries’ balance sheets and statements of operations are classified in accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss) as a separate component of total equity and are excluded from net income (loss). Gains or losses will be reflected in our
consolidated statements of operations when there is a sale or partial sale of our investment in these operations or upon a complete or
substantially complete liquidation of the investment. The following tables illustrate the effect that a 10% change in foreign currency rates
relative to the U.S. dollar would have on our potential future earnings and on the fair value of our net investment in foreign subsidiaries
based on our current operating assets outside the U.S. as of September 30, 2024 (in thousands):
Effect on potential future earnings due to foreign currency exchange rate: | |
Rate increase of 10% | $223 |
Rate decrease of 10% | $(223) |
Effect on the fair value of net investment in foreign subsidiaries due to foreign currency exchange rate: | |
Rate increase of 10% | $40,407 |
Rate decrease of 10% | $(40,407) |
The sensitivity analyses assume a parallel shift of all foreign currency exchange rates with respect to the U.S. dollar; however,
foreign currency exchange rates do not typically move in such a manner, and actual results may differ materially.
Our exposure to market risk elements for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was consistent with the risk elements
presented above, including the effects of changes in interest rates, equity prices, and foreign currency exchange rates.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
As of September 30, 2024, we had performed an evaluation, under the supervision of our principal executive officers and
principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. These controls and
procedures have been designed to ensure that information required for disclosure is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported
within the requisite time periods. Based on our evaluation, the principal executive officers and principal financial officer concluded that
our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2024.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30,
2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
115
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In 2006, ARE-East River Science Park, LLC, a subsidiary of Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc., was granted an option to
incorporate a land parcel adjacent to and north of the Alexandria Center® for Life Science – New York City (“ACLS-NYC”) campus
(“Option Parcel”) into the existing ground lease of that campus. The Option Parcel will allow ARE-East River Science Park, LLC to
develop a future world-class life science building within the ACLS-NYC campus. ARE-East River Science Park, LLC’s investment in pre-
construction costs related to the development of the Option Parcel, including costs related to design, engineering, environmental,
survey/title, and permitting and legal costs, aggregate $165.1 million as of September 30, 2024.
On August 6, 2024, ARE-East River Science Park, LLC filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York against its landlord, New York City Health + Hospitals Corporation (“H+H”), and the New York City Economic
Development Corporation (“EDC”). The lawsuit alleges two principal claims against H+H and EDC: fraud in the inducement, and, in the
alternative, breach of contract in violation of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. As alleged in the complaint, ARE-East
River Science Park, LLC’s claims arise from H+H’s and EDC’s misrepresentations and concealment of material facts in connection with
a floodwall, which H+H and EDC are seeking to require ARE-East River Science Park, LLC to integrate into the development of the
Option Parcel. ARE-East River Science Park, LLC alleges that H+H’s and EDC’s misconduct have prevented it from commencing the
development of the Option Parcel. In light of the pending litigation, the closing date for the option and thus the commencement date for
construction of the third tower at the campus are presently indeterminate. Among other things, ARE-East River Science Park, LLC is
seeking significant damages and equitable relief to maintain the option.
This matter exposes us to potential losses ranging from zero to the full amount of the investment in the project aggregating
$165.1 million as of September 30, 2024, depending on any collection of damages and/or the ability to develop the project. We
performed a probability-weighted recoverability analysis based on initial estimates of various possible outcomes and determined no
impairment was present as of September 30, 2024.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the information set forth in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, one should also carefully review and consider the
information contained in the other reports and periodic filings that we make with the SEC, including, without limitation, the information
contained under the caption “Item 1A. Risk factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Those
risk factors could materially affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. The risks that we describe in our public
filings are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we presently deem to be
immaterial, also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed under the caption “Item 1A. Risk factors” in our
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, except for the following updates:
The increased use of artificial intelligence (“AI”) and automation in life science research and development
(“R&D”) activities may change the uses, space configurations and tenant requirements for our laboratory properties
in currently unforeseen ways.
In recent years, some life science companies have augmented their traditional laboratory-based R&D efforts by
integrating AI, cloud computing, quantum computing and other advanced computational technologies into their R&D programs.
It is expected that such technologies will accelerate and streamline a number of R&D functions, including, for example, through
the targeted design and evaluation of clinical trials and the efficient identification of the most promising drug development
candidates from among multiple possible drugs. In addition, life science companies, like companies in many other industries,
are increasingly integrating new technologies, such as robotics and advanced automation of recurring tasks, into their
businesses, including their R&D activities. It is widely thought that the life science and healthcare industries, like most
industries, are in only the early stages of an advanced technology revolution that may have profound, and largely currently
unknown, impacts on their businesses, including the processes and strategies underlying R&D and commercialization of new
products.
We have always strived to provide our tenants with state-of-the-art laboratory facilities incorporating cutting-edge
infrastructure features (including energy delivery, environmental, sustainability, security, and waste disposal features) to enable
our tenants to perform at the highest levels. It is currently unknown how the ongoing adoption of advanced technologies and
automation in the life science industry will impact the optimal space configurations and infrastructure features of the “laboratory
of the future,” and we may face new tenant requirements and requests that will require significant expenditures that may not be
entirely recoverable through increased rents. For example, the adoption of AI by our tenants may lead to infrastructure
requirements that our buildings currently do not accommodate, such as increased power needs due to high-performance
computing. Infrastructure upgrades may necessitate substantial capital expenditures and could potentially impact the
environmental footprint of our building operations.
116
If technological developments result in a reduction or reconfiguration in space requirements by our tenants, demand by
individual tenants and prospective tenants for space may decrease over time. If we are not able to offset any reduction in demand from
the foregoing developments through repurposing space, property dispositions, or other means, the realization of any of the
aforementioned risks could have a material adverse impact on our revenues, net operating income, results of operations, funds from
operations, operating margins, occupancy, earnings per share, FFO per share, our overall business, and the market value of our
common stock.
