PASADENA, Calif., March 4,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Alexandria Real Estate Equities,
Inc. (NYSE: ARE) today announced that its Board of Directors
declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.27 per common share for the first quarter of
2024. The dividend is payable on April 15,
2024 to shareholders of record on March 28, 2024. The common stock dividend for the
12 months ending March 31, 2024 of
$5.02 per common share represents an
increase of 24 cents, or 5 percent,
over the 12 months ended March 31,
2023.
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 retaining a
significant portion for reinvestment into its highly leased
pipeline of new Class A/A+ development and redevelopment
projects. For the five-year period ending December 31, 2024, the company expects to
generate for reinvestment an aggregate $2.1
billion of net cash provided by operating activities after
dividends.1 Additionally, its dividend payout ratio
(quarterly common stock dividends divided by quarterly funds from
operations) remains favorably low at 56 percent for the three
months ended December 31, 2023. Growth in the company's net
cash provided by operating activities continues to generate
opportunities to increase the company's quarterly cash dividend per
common share while maintaining a low FFO payout ratio.
|
1 Net
cash provided by operating activities after dividends (i) excludes
timing differences such as changes in operating assets and
liabilities and (ii) includes deductions for distributions to the
company's consolidated real estate joint venture
partners.
