Strong and flexible balance sheet with significant liquidity; top 15% credit rating ranking among all publicly traded U.S. REITs

  • $20.44 billion in total market capitalization.
  • $7.92 billion in total equity capitalization.
  • Net debt and preferred stock to Adjusted EBITDA of 6.8x and fixed-charge coverage ratio of 3.4x for 1Q26 annualized, with 4Q26 annualized targets of 5.6x to 6.2x and 3.6x to 4.1x, respectively.
    • We expect improvement in our quarter annualized net debt and preferred stock to Adjusted EBITDA ratio in 2H26 as we complete dispositions and sales of partial interests.
  • As of March 31, 2026:
    • Significant liquidity of $4.17 billion, or 3.7x of our debt maturities through 2028.
    • Only 9% of our total debt matures through 2028.
    • 10.0-year weighted-average remaining debt term, the longest among S&P 500 REITs.
    • Total debt and preferred stock to gross assets of 31%.

Solid leasing of development and redevelopment space

  • Leasing volume of 647,356 RSF during 1Q26.
    • 1Q26 leasing of development and redevelopment space aggregating 117,935 RSF, up 135%, from the prior five-quarter average, excluding a build-to-suit lease executed in July 2025 with a long-standing multinational pharmaceutical tenant.
      • From April 1, 2026 through April 27, 2026, we have executed leases and/or letters of intent aggregating 276,188 RSF related to our development and redevelopment pipeline.
    • 72% of our leasing activity during 1Q26 was generated from our existing tenant base.

  • Excluding the impact of one lease aggregating 47,719 RSF at 480 Arsenal Street in our Cambridge/Inner Suburbs submarket, rental rates for renewed and re-leased space for 1Q26 would have decreased by 10.1% and 9.1% (cash basis). The space at 480 Arsenal Street was re-leased to an entertainment studio user to accommodate their expansion needs and secure a long-term extension. In addition, the reorientation of this building layout provides flexibility to market the remaining available space to a broader range of user demand.

Ongoing execution of Alexandria's capital recycling strategy

We plan to continue funding a significant portion of our capital requirements for the year ending December 31, 2026 through dispositions of land, non-core assets, and core assets (primarily sales of partial interests).

Represents previously disclosed key lease expirations aggregating 657,492 RSF, with a weighted-average lease expiration date of January 2026 and prior annual rental revenue of approximately $41.6 million. These vacant spaces are currently 48% leased or under negotiation and the remaining 52% is being actively marketed for re-lease.

(2)

Includes i) 139,408 RSF, or 0.4%, resulting from spaces vacated by tenants winding down operations, which are being actively marketed for re-lease and ii) delivery of 50,531 vacant RSF, or 0.2%, at our 10075 Barnes Canyon Road development project located at our SD Tech by Alexandria Megacampus.

(3)

Represents temporary vacancies aggregating 1.1 million RSF, primarily in the Greater Boston, San Francisco Bay Area, and Seattle markets, that are leased and expected to be occupied upon completion of building and/or tenant improvements. The weighted-average expected delivery date is approximately September 2026, with expected annual rental revenue of approximately $68 million.

Change in net operating income (cash basis) reflects the impact of operating properties disposed of after January 1, 2025. Excluding these dispositions, net operating income (cash basis), annualized, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, would have decreased by 8.9%.

(3)

The quarter-over-quarter decline was due to a decrease in same property occupancy, primarily driven by the previously disclosed 2026 key lease expirations aggregating 657,492 RSF that became vacant during 1Q26, with a weighted-average lease expiration date of January 2026, and by vacancy in 4Q25 at one property aggregating 170,618 RSF at Alexandria Center® for Advanced Technologies – South San Francisco in our South San Francisco submarket. We expect our same property performance to improve in 2H26, primarily due to changes in same property occupancy, including the anticipated delivery of 1.1 million RSF of vacant space that was leased but not yet delivered as of March 31, 2026, which has a weighted-average expected delivery date of approximately September 2026, and is expected to generate annual rental revenue of approximately $68 million.

Continued successful reduction and management of general and administrative expenses

  • General and administrative expenses for 1Q26 aggregated $34.7 million, which represents a decrease of $7.4 million, or 18%, compared to the quarterly average for 2024. For the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2026, our general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net operating income were 6.0%, approximately half the average of other S&P 500 REITs for 2023-2025.
  • In 2025, we achieved general and administrative expense reduction of $51.3 million, or 30%, compared to 2024, primarily as a result of cost-control and efficiency initiatives. Some of these cost savings were temporary, and we anticipate that approximately half of the cost reduction achieved in 2025 will continue in 2026.

Reduction of capital spend and funding needs

  • We are evaluating the business and financial strategy for certain projects aggregating 1.6 million RSF to reduce future construction funding requirements within our active pipeline. 
    • Driven by demand for our Megacampuses and access to amenities at our 311 Arsenal Street and 3000 Minuteman Road redevelopment projects, we executed letters of intent aggregating 242,408 RSF in April 2026. These letters of intent are for lower-cost alternative uses for all or a portion of these projects, including advanced technology. If we are successful in executing these potential leases, we expect to evaluate whether all or a portion of these projects will be placed back into operation without the need to further redevelop.
  • Non-income-producing assets are 17% as a percentage of gross assets, a reduction of 3% since 4Q24; targeting a further reduction to 11% to 16% by 4Q26.

Alexandria's development and redevelopment pipeline is anticipated to deliver $92 million of incremental annual net operating income by 4Q26 primarily from projects that are 93% leased/negotiating

  • Annual net operating income (cash basis) from recently delivered projects is expected to increase by $25 million upon the burn-off of initial free rent, which has a weighted-average remaining period of approximately four months.
  • 77% of the RSF in our total development and redevelopment pipeline is within our Megacampus ecosystems.

Key capital events

  • In February 2026, we completed tender offers to repurchase an aggregate debt principal amount of $1.33 billion across a portion of our outstanding 4.00% Senior Notes due 2050, 3.00% Senior Notes due 2051, and 3.55% Senior Notes due 2052. Cash consideration paid was $952.2 million. In connection with the debt repurchase, we recognized a gain on early extinguishment of debt of $366.4 million, including the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and other transaction-related costs.
    • We funded the repurchase as follows:
      • $750.0 million through the issuance of 5.25% unsecured senior notes due 2036; and
      • Approximately $200 million through short-term borrowings under our commercial paper program, which will be repaid through planned dispositions and sales of partial interests included in our 2026 guidance.
    • The repurchase reduced debt and improved leverage by approximately 0.2x.
    • This transaction did not have a significant impact to our funds from operations per share diluted, as adjusted, interest expense, or fixed-charge coverage ratio.
    • Following this transaction, our weighted-average remaining term of debt as of 1Q26 is 10.0 years, which continues to be the longest among S&P 500 REITs.
  • In January 2026 and April 2026, we repaid, upon maturity, $300.0 million of 4.30% unsecured senior notes payable and $350.0 million of 3.80% unsecured senior notes payable, respectively. These repayments were funded temporarily with borrowings under our commercial paper program, which will be repaid through planned dispositions and sales of partial interests included in our 2026 guidance. No gain or loss was incurred in connection with these repayments.
  • Under our common stock repurchase program authorized in December 2025, we may repurchase up to $500.0 million of our common stock through December 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, no shares have been repurchased.

Dividend strategy to share net cash flows from operating activities with stockholders while retaining a significant portion for reinvestment

  • Common stock dividend declared of $0.72 per share for 1Q26, consistent with the preceding quarter. The declared dividend per common share reflects our commitment to maintaining the strength of our balance sheet, enhancing financial flexibility, preserving liquidity, and sharing cash flows with our stockholders.
  • Significant net cash provided by operating activities, as adjusted, retained for reinvestment aggregating $2.60 billion for the years ended December 31, 2022 through 2025 and the midpoint of our 2026 guidance range.
  • Dividend yield of 6.2% as of March 31, 2026 and dividend payout ratio of 42% for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Investments

  • As of March 31, 2026:
    • Our non-real estate investments aggregated $1.54 billion.
    • Unrealized gains presented in our consolidated balance sheet were $125.9 million, comprising gross unrealized gains and losses aggregating $191.5 million and $65.6 million, respectively.
  • Investment loss of $4.6 million for 1Q26 presented in our consolidated statement of operations consisted of $18.2 million of realized gains, $10.3 million of unrealized losses, and $12.4 million of impairment charges.

Our guidance for operating occupancy percentage as of December 31, 2026 and for same property performance net operating income changes assumes an approximate 1% and 2% benefit, respectively, related to a range of assets with vacancy that could potentially be sold during 2026 and/or qualify for classification as held for sale by December 31, 2026, but that had not yet met such criteria as of March 31, 2026. Refer to the chart below for key drivers of the changes to certain key projected operating metrics and assumptions included in our 2026 guidance.

(2)

Decline primarily relates to changes to a range of properties that could potentially be sold during 2026 that were assumed in our prior guidance. Refer to the chart below.

(3)

Decline primarily related to the re-lease of two spaces subject to tenant wind-downs. Refer to the chart below.

(4)

The $5 million reduction and corresponding $5 million increase to the midpoints of our guidance ranges for 2026 capitalized interest and 2026 interest expense, respectively, are primarily driven by the anticipated earlier completion of certain milestones on several projects. Refer to the discussion of 4Q26 funds from operations per share – diluted, as adjusted and "Capitalized interest" item, and "Capitalization of interest" in the Supplemental Information for additional details.

Our prior guidance for occupancy percentage as of December 31, 2026 and 2026 same property performance net operating income changes assumed a benefit of approximately 2% and 3%, respectively, related to a range of assets with vacancy that could potentially be sold in 2026 and/or qualify for classification as held for sale by December 31, 2026 but had not yet met such criteria as of December 31, 2025. Our updated guidance for these metrics assumes a reduced benefit of approximately 1% and 2%, respectively, related to a range of assets with vacancy that could potentially be sold during 2026 and/or qualify for classification as held for sale by December 31, 2026, primarily due to our revised expectation that we may no longer sell as many assets with significant vacancy driven, in part, by positive leasing prospects for certain spaces that are currently vacant.

(2)

Includes the impacts of i) one lease aggregating 81,220 RSF in our Torrey Pines submarket, for which we proactively addressed a tenant wind-down by terminating the existing lease and executing a new lease in April 2026 with a growth-stage life science company advancing next-generation therapeutics to accommodate their expansion needs within our portfolio, with expected delivery in early 2027 following the completion of tenant improvements, and ii) one lease  aggregating 47,719 RSF at 480 Arsenal Street in our Cambridge/Inner Suburbs submarket, with the space re-leased in 1Q26. Refer to "Leasing activity" in the Supplemental Information for additional details.

(3)

Primarily attributable to the write-off of a deferred rent receivable in April 2026 of approximately $5 million in connection with the lease termination and a payment of $10.5 million from a tenant in our Torrey Pines submarket discussed in footnote 2 above.

4Q26 funds from operations per share – diluted, as adjusted

  • On December 3, 2025, we provided guidance for our projected 4Q26 funds from operations per share – diluted, as adjusted, to be within a range of $1.40 to $1.60 as part of our path forward. The decline in our quarterly FFO from 1Q26 to 4Q26 is due, in part, to projected dispositions and partial interest sales of land, non-core, and core properties aggregating $2.9 billion at our guidance midpoint, currently with a weighted-average projected completion date in August 2026.
  • As of April 27, 2026, we continue to refine this guidance and currently expect to be within a range of $1.40 to $1.50. The updated range reflects an assumption for lower capitalized interest, and a corresponding increase in interest expense, in 4Q26 due to earlier than anticipated completion of construction/pre-construction milestones on several projects (refer to the "Capitalized interest" item below for additional details).

1)   Potential tenant wind-downs

  • Our 2026 guidance includes a $25 million to $30 million reduction in funds from operations for potential tenant wind-downs, of which approximately $6 million was recognized in 1Q26.
  • Based upon current market conditions, we estimate at least a similar level of reduction in funds from operations may be necessary through 2026 and beyond.

2)   Development-related other income

  • During 1Q26, we recognized development fees and other related revenues of approximately $2.5 million, most of which are expected to cease by the end of 2026 as we complete the respective projects.

3)   Development and redevelopment projects under business and financial strategy evaluation

  • We have five development and redevelopment projects for which the business and financial strategies continue to be evaluated, including whether to continue construction of laboratory improvements, pause construction, pursue lower-investment construction alternatives (including a pivot to advanced technology use), or disposition. Refer to "New Class A/A+ development and redevelopment properties: under construction" in the Supplemental Information for additional details.
    • If we elect to continue to pursue construction of laboratory improvements for these projects, the earliest deliveries of these projects are in 2028.
    • If we elect to pursue lower-investment construction alternatives (including a pivot to advanced technology use), these projects could deliver earlier than 2028. The incremental capital required for alternative use construction, and corresponding rental rates earned, is generally lower compared to laboratory improvements.

4)   Capitalized interest

  • For the three months ended March 31, 2026, average real estate basis capitalized of $6.86 billion comprised the following:          
    • $2.64 billion of active development and redevelopment of projects under construction that are expected to stabilize through 2028 and are 77% leased and repositioning projects;
    • $1.28 billion of development and redevelopment projects for which we are evaluating the business and financial strategy with weighted-average critical key construction milestones by March 2027;
    • $1.16 billion of land with weighted-average critical key pre-construction milestones by August 2026;
    • $567.6 million of land with weighted-average critical key pre-construction milestones by April 2027; and
    • $1.22 billion of land with critical key pre-construction milestones through 2028 and beyond.
  • At each milestone date, we evaluate, on an asset-by-asset basis, whether to (i) proceed with additional pre-construction and/or construction activities based on leasing demand and/or market conditions, (ii) pause future investments, or (iii) consider the potential dispositions of these real estate assets. If we cease activities necessary to prepare a project for its intended use, costs related to such project, including interest, payroll, property taxes, insurance, and other costs directly related and essential to the construction of Class A/A+ properties, are expensed as incurred. Annualized capitalized operating expenses and payroll represent approximately 2% and 1%, respectively, of the total average real estate basis subject to capitalization for 1Q26.
  • We expect average real estate basis capitalized to decrease from $6.86 billion for 1Q26 to a range from $3.8 billion to $5.3 billion for 4Q26, driven by potential dispositions, deliveries of development and redevelopment, and pauses in construction/pre-construction activities. The estimated range for 4Q26 represents a $200 million reduction (at the midpoint) in the projected range from $4.0 billion to $5.5 billion initially disclosed on December 3, 2025. Refer to "Capitalization of interest" in the Supplemental Information for additional details.

5)   Key lease expirations

  • We estimate 1.5 million RSF of leases expiring in 2027, with approximately $97.4 million of annual rental revenue, to have 6 to 24 months of downtime on a weighted-average basis. These expirations have a weighted-average contractual lease expiration date of February 2027. 2027 expirations increased from the prior quarter primarily due to one expiration of a 232,902 RSF single-tenant lease at our Alexandria Center® for Life Science – Waltham Megacampus with approximately $27.0 million of annual rental revenue, for which we no longer expect the tenant to renew. While our initial acquisition underwriting assumed this tenant would eventually relocate to another submarket, the relocation by the tenant is expected to occur earlier than previously anticipated. Refer to "Contractual lease expirations" in the Supplemental Information for additional details.

6)   Construction spending

  • We are currently evaluating our future construction spending estimates beyond 2026, and a number of factors could cause our preliminary estimates for the period beyond 2026 to change as we refine our estimates over the course of the year. We estimate our annual construction spending beyond 2026 could decline by approximately $500 million, subject to market conditions, and is expected to primarily focus on, i) construction spending required to complete our development and redevelopment projects that are expected to stabilize through 2028 and are 77% leased, and ii) revenue- and non-revenue-enhancing capital expenditures, in order to secure leasing of vacant space and renewals and re-leasing of space at our operating properties.

We expect to introduce 2027 guidance and related assumptions at our Investor Day on December 2, 2026, consistent with our historical practice.

(1)

The decline from 4Q25 is primarily attributable to: i) the disposition of operating properties subsequent to October 1, 2025, ii) previously disclosed 2026 key lease expirations aggregating 657,492 RSF, that became vacant during 1Q26, with a weighted-average lease expiration date of January 2026 and prior annual rental revenue of approximately $41.6 million, and iii) rental revenue of $11.4 million recognized during 4Q25, primarily related to a termination fee, net of the deferred rent balances written off, at a property in our South San Francisco submarket that is now vacant and has been fully re-leased, with occupancy expected to commence in 3Q26.

(2)

During 1Q26, we recognized certain development fees and other related revenues included in other income aggregating approximately $2.5 million, most of which we expect to cease by the end of 2026 as we complete the related projects.

(3)

Includes an asset management fee of $7.0 million recognized in 4Q25, which was paid by our joint venture partner in connection with the disposition of 409 and 499 Illinois Street in the Mission Bay submarket.
