Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. Reports First Quarter Ended March 31, 2015 Financial and Operating Results

April 27, 2015 4:10 PM

PASADENA, Calif., April 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. (NYSE: ARE) today announced financial and operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015.

"Our results for the first quarter of 2015 highlight both the strength of our operating fundamentals and our unique real estate platform strategy focused on Class A assets in urban innovation cluster campuses located in Greater Boston, the San Francisco Bay Area, New York City, and San Diego. Our growth in FFO and NAV continued into the first quarter of 2015, as we reported FFO per share of $1.28, up 9.4% over the first quarter of 2014. Growth in FFO and cash flows for the quarter was again driven by strong internal growth, including 18.5% cash rental rate increases on lease renewals/re-leasing of space and a 7.8% cash same property NOI increase. Our value-creation pipeline continued to deliver significant earnings and NAV growth with highly leased projects located in collaborative urban innovation campuses. Furthermore, we delivered 494,477 RSF into service, including 388,270 RSF at 75/125 Binney Street in March 2015. We also commenced the ground-up development at 50/60 Binney Street in our Cambridge submarket, with 98% of the project leased or under negotiation, including 251,234 RSF leased to Sanofi for 97% of 50 Binney Street. Our value-creation deliveries during the quarter decreased our non-income producing assets as a percentage of total assets to 12%.

"With our operating properties generating steady growth and our value-creation pipeline producing significant additional growth of NOI, EBITDA, and NAV, we remain confident in our ability to deliver strong results in 2015 while improving our net debt to adjusted EBITDA to <7.0x by year-end," said Joel S. Marcus, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and Founder of Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc.

(1)

Annualized using actual results for the quarter ended prior to date of sale or 1Q15 for pending and projected asset sales and other assets "held for sale" as of March 31, 2015.

(2)

Represents sale price for assets sold, estimated sale price for pending and projected asset sales, and net book value as of March 31, 2015, for other assets "held for sale."

(3)

Represents land and land improvements that were subject to a ground lease prior to the sale with the Company as the lessee. Our annualized net operating loss of $1.4 million primarily represented ground rent expense. Prior to the completion of the sale in January 2015, our land and land improvements were leased to a client tenant and the client tenant was completing the construction of a 780,540 RSF building. Rental payments from the client tenant were anticipated to commence in the future upon completion and stabilization of the building.

(4)

During 1Q15, we committed to the sale of a vacant 175,000 RSF building located in Hyderabad, India. Accordingly, we recognized an impairment charge of $14.5 million to reduce the property's net book value to our estimate of its fair value less cost to sell of $12.4 million. The impairment is primarily related to $7.5 million of increased project costs incurred during a longer-than-anticipated government permitting process to address additional building zoning requirements that arose subsequent to our acquisition of this building, as well as $4.2 million of foreign exchange losses. We estimated that $8.1 million of additional capital expenditures would have been required to complete and lease the building.

(5)

Represents estimated 80% (mid-point of range from 70% to 90%) joint venture share of annualized NOI of $13.3 million for the entire property for the quarter ended 1Q15.

(6)

Includes annualized net operating loss of $172 thousand related to one vacant building aggregating 21,940 RSF classified in discontinued operations in our accompanying consolidated statements of income. This is the only property classified in discontinued operations as of March 31, 2015.
