Insights

REIT Financial Analyst

Alexandria reports mixed Q1 with declining revenue/FFO, but maintains solid leasing momentum and strategic execution despite financial headwinds.

Alexandria's Q1 2025 results reveal a complex financial picture. Total revenues decreased 1.4% to $758.2 million, with FFO declining 3% to $2.30 per share. The company posted a net loss of $11.6 million compared to $166.9 million profit in Q1 2024, primarily driven by $68.1 million in unrealized investment losses and $32.2 million in real estate impairments.

Despite these challenges, Alexandria shows disciplined financial management with G&A expenses reduced by 35% through strategic cost initiatives, bringing them to their lowest level in ten years at 6.9% of NOI. The balance sheet remains robust with $5.3 billion in liquidity, though net debt to EBITDA stands at 5.9x versus a 4Q25 target of ≤5.2x.

The capital recycling strategy is progressing with $609 million in completed/pending dispositions toward the $1.95 billion 2025 guidance target. Alexandria successfully issued $550 million in unsecured senior notes at its tightest-ever spread to treasury, demonstrating continued capital markets access, while executing $208.1 million of share repurchases at an average price of $96.71.

The 5.7% dividend yield remains attractive with a sustainable 57% payout ratio and 4% year-over-year dividend growth. This reflects management's confidence in the underlying business despite near-term headwinds.

Commercial Real Estate Expert

Solid leasing activity and rental growth offset occupancy decline; development pipeline remains well-positioned with strong pre-leasing.

Alexandria's occupancy decreased to 91.7% from 94.6% at year-end 2024, primarily due to previously disclosed lease expirations. Importantly, approximately 45% of this vacancy is already re-leased with future delivery dates or under active negotiations, indicating robust demand for their specialized spaces.

Leasing volume remains strong at 1.03 million RSF, marking the fifth consecutive quarter exceeding 1 million RSF. The 18.5% rental rate increases on renewals (7.5% cash basis) demonstrate continued pricing power and the premium value of Alexandria's life science facilities. With 89% of leasing activity coming from existing tenants, tenant retention remains excellent.

The development pipeline is delivering results, with 309,494 RSF placed into service in Q1 at 100% occupancy, generating $37 million in incremental annual NOI. Projects scheduled through 4Q26 are 75% leased/in negotiations and will contribute an additional $171 million in annual NOI. The $61 million expected increase from burn-off of initial free rent periods will further boost cash flow by 4Q25.

Alexandria's strategic focus on Megacampus ecosystems is evident, with 75% of rental revenue and 71% of the development pipeline concentrated in these locations. Their tenant quality remains exceptional with 51% of revenue from investment-grade or publicly traded large cap companies, providing revenue stability through the 7.6-year weighted average lease term and 98% lease escalation coverage.

Alexandria's development and redevelopment pipeline delivered incremental annual net operating income of $37 million commencing during 1Q25, with an additional $171 million of incremental annual net operating income anticipated to deliver by 4Q26

• During 1Q25, we placed into service development and redevelopment projects aggregating 309,494 RSF that are 100% leased across multiple submarkets and delivered incremental annual net operating income of $37 million. A significant 1Q25 delivery was 285,346 RSF at 230 Harriet Tubman Way located at the Alexandria Center^® for Life Science – Millbrae in our South San Francisco submarket.
• Our active development and redevelopment projects under construction, primarily related to our Megacampus ecosystems, have an estimated $2.4 billion of remaining costs to complete, of which $1.3 billion is not under contract as of March 31, 2025. Additionally, we estimate that 30%–40% of the costs not under contract represent costs for materials that may be subject to inflationary pressure and/or potential tariffs. As such, we estimate that each 10% increase in these costs for materials may result in incremental costs aggregating $40–$50 million and a corresponding decline in initial stabilized yields of approximately 2.5 to 3.5 basis points for our existing active development and redevelopment projects. This estimate does not account for the cost of potential delays that may occur in receiving or replacing materials subject to tariffs.
• Annual net operating income (cash basis) from recently delivered projects is expected to increase by $61 million by 4Q25 upon the burn-off of initial free rent, which have a weighted-average burn-off period of approximately four months.
• 71% of the RSF in our total development and redevelopment pipeline is within our Megacampus ecosystems.

Guidance March 31, 2025 (Dollars in millions, except per share amounts)

Guidance for 2025 has been updated to reflect our current view of existing market conditions and assumptions for the year ending December 31, 2025. There can be no assurance that actual amounts will not be materially higher or lower than these expectations. Our guidance for 2025 is subject to a number of variables and uncertainties, including actions and changes in policy by the current U.S. administration related to the regulatory environment, life science funding, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and National Institutes of Health, trade, and other areas. For additional discussion  relating to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated, refer to our discussion of "forward-looking statements" in the Earnings Press Release as well as our SEC filings, including our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and any subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.

The midpoint of our guidance range for 2025 funds from operations per share – diluted, as adjusted, was reduced by seven cents, or 75 bps. Key changes to our guidance assumptions include the following: Slower than anticipated re-leasing of expiring spaces and lease-up of vacancy in our operating portfolio and our development and redevelopment pipeline, resulting in the following changes to the midpoints of our guidance ranges: 70 bps reduction in occupancy percentage in North America as of December 31, 2025, 70 bps and 20 bps reduction in 2025 same property net operating income performance and same property net operating income performance (cash basis), respectively, and $15 million reduction in 2025 straight-line rent revenue. A $20 million reduction to the midpoint of our guidance range for 2025 capitalization of interest with a corresponding $20 million increase to the midpoint of our guidance range for 2025 interest expense, primarily due to various current and future pipeline projects that are anticipated to cease construction activities in the latter part of the year. A $17 million reduction to the midpoint of our guidance range for 2025 general and administrative expenses from additional cost control initiatives, including personnel-related costs and streamlining of business processes.
