Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. Declares Cash Dividend of $1.15 per Common Share for 1Q22, for an Aggregate of $4.54 per Common Share for the 12 Months Ending March 31, 2022, Up 24 Cents, or 6 Percent, Over the 12 Months Ended March 31, 2021

PASADENA, Calif., March 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. (NYSE: ARE) today announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.15 per common share for the first quarter of 2022. The dividend is payable on April 15, 2022, to shareholders of record on March 31, 2022. The common stock dividend for the 12 months ending March 31, 2022, of $4.54 per common share represents an increase of 24 cents, or 6 percent, over the 12 months ended March 31, 2021.

The dividend allows the company to share its continued high-quality, strong and increasing net cash provided by operating activities with its common shareholders while it retains significant cash provided by operating activities for reinvestment into its highly leased pipeline of development and redevelopment of new Class A properties. The company's funds from operations (FFO) payout ratio (quarterly common stock dividends divided by quarterly funds from operations) remains favorably low at 60 percent for the three months ended December 31, 2021. Additionally, growth in net cash provided by operating activities after dividends continues to generate opportunities to increase the company's quarterly cash dividend per common share while enabling it to maintain a low FFO payout ratio.
