Subsequent event
- In October 2023, we recognized a real estate impairment charge of approximately $90.8 million to reduce the carrying amounts of two non-laboratory properties located in our Greater Boston market to their current fair values, less costs to sell. We initially acquired these industrial and self-storage properties with an intention to entitle the site as a life science campus, demolish the properties upon expiration of the existing in-place leases, and ultimately develop life science properties. Since our acquisition, the macroeconomic environment has changed. Upon our reevaluation of the project's financial outlook and its alignment with our mega campus strategy, we decided not to proceed with this project. The impairment charge was recognized upon meeting the criteria for classification as held for sale. We expect to complete the sale of these properties in 4Q23.
Industry and ESG leadership: catalyzing and leading the way for positive change to benefit human health and society
- Alexandria has a longstanding, impactful partnership with the Galien Foundation, the premier global institution dedicated to honoring life science innovations that improve human health through a range of programs, including the annual Galien Forum USA and Prix Galien USA Awards, which will be held this week, on October 26, 2023, in New York City.

He, alongside other influential life science leaders, will serve on the Prix Galien USA Awards committee responsible for evaluating and recognizing the Best Digital Health Solution; Best Medical Technology; Best Incubators, Accelerators and Equity; and Best Startup.
- In October 2023, Alexandria's sustained ESG leadership and performance was reinforced by several achievements in the 2023 GRESB Real Estate Assessment: (i) 4 Star Ratings in the operating asset and development benchmarks, (ii) our seventh consecutive Green Star designation, and (iii) our sixth consecutive "A" disclosure score, with a perfect score of 100 and a #1 ranking for our best-in-class transparency around ESG practices and reporting in 2023. GRESB is one of the leading global ESG benchmarks for real estate and infrastructure investments.

Guidance |
Guidance for 2023 has been updated to reflect our current view of existing market conditions and assumptions for the year ending December 31, 2023. There can be no assurance that actual amounts will not be materially higher or lower than these expectations. Also, refer to our discussion of "forward-looking statements" on page 8 of this Earnings Press Release for additional details. |
Key changes to our guidance include an increase to the midpoint of our guidance for funds from operations per share, as adjusted by two cents driven by the accelerated delivery of our under construction 462,100 RSF Class A+ property at 325 Binney Street that is now set to deliver to Moderna, Inc. in November 2023 and general and administrative savings after September 15, 2023, resulting from the resignation of Dean A. Shigenaga, our President and Chief Financial Officer. Additionally, changes to our key sources and uses of capital include a $100 million decrease to our guidance range for dispositions and sales of partial interests and a corresponding $100 million increase to our guidance range for incremental debt for the year ending December 31, 2023. These updates are primarily due to changes in the mix and timing of dispositions pending and under executed letters of intent or purchase and sales agreements that are expected to close in 4Q23. |
