In our opinion, the interim consolidated financial statements presented herein reflect all adjustments, of a normal recurring nature, that are necessary to fairly present the interim consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Any references to our market capitalization, number or quality of buildings or tenants, quality of location, square footage, number of leases, or occupancy percentage, and any amounts derived from these values in these notes to consolidated financial statements, are outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s review.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Consolidation

On an ongoing basis, as circumstances indicate the need for reconsideration, we evaluate each legal entity that is not wholly owned by us in accordance with the consolidation guidance. Our evaluation considers all of our variable interests, including equity ownership, as well as fees paid to us for our involvement in the management of each partially owned entity. To fall within the scope of the consolidation guidance, an entity must meet both of the following criteria:

•The entity has a legal structure that has been established to conduct business activities and to hold assets; such entity can be in the form of a partnership, limited liability company, or corporation, among others; and

•We have a variable interest in the legal entity – i.e., variable interests that are contractual, such as equity ownership, or other financial interests that change with changes in the fair value of the entity’s net assets.

If an entity does not meet both criteria above, we apply other accounting literature, such as the cost or equity method of accounting. If an entity does meet both criteria above, we evaluate such entity for consolidation under either the variable interest model if the legal entity meets any of the following characteristics to qualify as a VIE, or under the voting model for all other legal entities that are not VIEs.

A legal entity is determined to be a VIE if it has any of the following three characteristics:

1)The entity does not have sufficient equity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support;

2)The entity is established with non-substantive voting rights (i.e., the entity deprives the majority economic interest holder(s) of voting rights); or

3)The equity holders, as a group, lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. Equity holders meet this criterion if they lack any of the following:

•The power, through voting rights or similar rights, to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly influence the entity’s economic performance, as evidenced by:

•Substantive participating rights in day-to-day management of the entity’s activities; or

•Substantive kick-out rights over the party responsible for significant decisions;

•The obligation to absorb the entity’s expected losses; or

•The right to receive the entity’s expected residual returns.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Our real estate joint ventures consist of limited partnerships or limited liability companies. For an entity structured as a limited partnership or a limited liability company, our evaluation of whether the equity holders (equity partners other than the general partner or the managing member of a joint venture) lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest includes the evaluation of whether the limited partners or non-managing members (the noncontrolling equity holders) lack both substantive participating rights and substantive kick-out rights, defined as follows:

•Participating rights provide the noncontrolling equity holders the ability to direct significant financial and operating decisions made in the ordinary course of business that most significantly influence the entity’s economic performance.

•Kick-out rights allow the noncontrolling equity holders to remove the general partner or managing member without cause.

If we conclude that any of the three characteristics of a VIE are met, including that the equity holders lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest because they lack both substantive participating rights and substantive kick-out rights, we conclude that the entity is a VIE and evaluate it for consolidation under the variable interest model.

Variable interest model

If an entity is determined to be a VIE, we evaluate whether we are the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary analysis is a qualitative analysis based on power and benefits. We consolidate a VIE if we have both power and benefits — that is, (i) we have the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly influence the VIE’s economic performance (power), and (ii) we have the obligation to absorb losses of or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE (benefits). We consolidate VIEs whenever we determine that we are the primary beneficiary. Refer to Note 4 – “Consolidated and unconsolidated real estate joint ventures” to these unaudited consolidated financial statements for information on specific joint ventures that qualify as VIEs. If we have a variable interest in a VIE but are not the primary beneficiary, we account for our investment using the equity method of accounting.

Voting model

If a legal entity fails to meet any of the three characteristics of a VIE (i.e., insufficiency of equity, existence of non-substantive voting rights, or lack of a controlling financial interest), we then evaluate such entity under the voting model. Under the voting model, we consolidate the entity if we determine that we, directly or indirectly, have greater than 50% of the voting shares and that other equity holders do not have substantive participating rights. Refer to Note 4 – “Consolidated and unconsolidated real estate joint ventures” to these unaudited consolidated financial statements for further information on our unconsolidated real estate joint ventures that qualify for evaluation under the voting model.

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and equity; the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements; and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Investments in real estate

Evaluation of business combination or asset acquisition

We evaluate each acquisition of real estate or in-substance real estate (including equity interests in entities that predominantly hold real estate assets) to determine whether the integrated set of assets and activities acquired meets the definition of a business and needs to be accounted for as a business combination. An acquisition of an integrated set of assets and activities that does not meet the definition of a business is accounted for as an asset acquisition. If either of the following criteria is met, the integrated set of assets and activities acquired would not qualify as a business:

•Substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in either a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets; or

•The integrated set of assets and activities is lacking, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs (i.e., revenue generated before and after the transaction).

An acquired process is considered substantive if:

•The process includes an organized workforce (or includes an acquired contract that provides access to an organized workforce) that is skilled, knowledgeable, and experienced in performing the process;

•The process cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort, or delay; or

•The process is considered unique or scarce.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Generally, our acquisitions of real estate or in-substance real estate do not meet the definition of a business because substantially all of the fair value is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets (i.e., land, buildings, and related intangible assets) or because the acquisition does not include a substantive process in the form of an acquired workforce or an acquired contract that cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort, or delay. When evaluating acquired service or management contracts, we consider the nature of the services performed, the terms of the contract relative to similar arm’s-length contracts, and the availability of comparable vendors in evaluating whether the acquired contract constitutes a substantive process.

Recognition of real estate acquired

For acquisitions of real estate or in-substance real estate that are accounted for as business combinations, we allocate the acquisition consideration (excluding acquisition costs) to the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, noncontrolling interests, and previously existing ownership interests at fair value as of the acquisition date. Assets include intangible assets such as tenant relationships, acquired in-place leases, and favorable intangibles associated with in-place leases in which we are the lessor. Liabilities include unfavorable intangibles associated with in-place leases in which we are the lessor. In addition, for acquired in-place finance or operating leases in which we are the lessee, acquisition consideration is allocated to lease liabilities and related right-of-use assets, adjusted to reflect favorable or unfavorable terms of the lease when compared with market terms. Any excess (deficit) of the consideration transferred relative to the fair value of the net assets acquired is accounted for as goodwill (bargain purchase gain). Acquisition costs related to business combinations are expensed as incurred.

Generally, we expect that acquisitions of real estate or in-substance real estate will not meet the definition of a business because substantially all of the fair value is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets (i.e., land, buildings, and related intangible assets). The accounting model for asset acquisitions is similar to the accounting model for business combinations, except that the acquisition consideration (including acquisition costs) is allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed on a relative fair value basis. Any excess (deficit) of the consideration transferred relative to the sum of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is allocated to the individual assets and liabilities based on their relative fair values. As a result, asset acquisitions do not result in the recognition of goodwill or a bargain purchase gain. Incremental and external direct acquisition costs (such as legal and other third-party services) are capitalized.

We exercise judgment to determine the key assumptions used to allocate the purchase price of real estate acquired among its components. The allocation of the consideration to the various components of properties acquired during the year can have an effect on our net income due to the useful depreciable and amortizable lives applicable to each component and the recognition of the related depreciation and amortization expense in our consolidated statements of operations. We apply judgment in utilizing available comparable market information to assess relative fair value. We assess the relative fair values of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based on available comparable market information, including estimated replacement costs, rental rates, and recent market transactions. In addition, we may use estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors, including the historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market/economic conditions that may affect the property.

The value of tangible assets acquired is based upon our estimation of fair value on an “as if vacant” basis. The value of acquired in-place leases includes the estimated costs during the hypothetical lease-up period and other costs that would have been incurred in the execution of similar leases under the market conditions at the acquisition date of the acquired in-place lease. If there is a bargain fixed-rate renewal option for the period beyond the non-cancelable lease term of an in-place lease, we evaluate intangible factors such as the business conditions in the industry in which the lessee operates, the economic conditions in the area in which the property is located, and the ability of the lessee to sublease the property during the renewal term, in order to determine the likelihood that the lessee will renew. When we determine there is reasonable assurance that such bargain purchase option will be exercised, we consider the option in determining the intangible value of such lease and its related amortization period. We also recognize the relative fair values of assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in acquisitions of less than a 100% interest when the acquisition constitutes a change in control of the acquired entity.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

The values allocated to buildings and building improvements, land improvements, tenant improvements, and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis using the shorter of the respective ground lease term, estimated useful life, or up to 40 years, for buildings and building improvements; estimated life, or up to 20 years, for land improvements; the respective lease term or estimated useful life for tenant improvements; and the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life for equipment. The values of acquired in-place leases and associated favorable intangibles (i.e., acquired above-market leases) are classified in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets and are amortized over the remaining terms of the related leases as a reduction of income from rentals in our consolidated statements of operations. The values of unfavorable intangibles (i.e., acquired below-market leases) associated with acquired in-place leases are classified in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets and are amortized over the remaining terms of the related leases as an increase in income from rentals in our consolidated statements of operations.

Capitalized project costs

We capitalize project costs, including pre-construction costs, interest, property taxes, insurance, and other costs directly related and essential to the development, redevelopment, pre-construction, or construction of a project. Capitalization of development, redevelopment, pre-construction, and construction costs is required while activities are ongoing to prepare an asset for its intended use. Fluctuations in our development, redevelopment, pre-construction, and construction activities could result in significant changes to total expenses and net income. Costs incurred after a project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use are expensed as incurred. Should development, redevelopment, pre-construction, or construction activity cease, interest, property taxes, insurance, and certain other costs would no longer be eligible for capitalization and would be expensed as incurred. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Real estate sales

A property is classified as held for sale when all of the following criteria for a plan of sale have been met: (i) management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the property; (ii) the property is available for immediate sale in its present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary; (iii) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell have been initiated; (iv) the sale of the property is probable and is expected to be completed within one year; (v) the property is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and (vi) actions necessary to complete the plan of sale indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. Depreciation of assets ceases upon designation of a property as held for sale.

If the disposal of a property represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on our operations or financial results, such as (i) a major line of business, (ii) a major geographic area, (iii) a major equity method investment, or (iv) other major parts of an entity, then the operations of the property, including any interest expense directly attributable to it, are classified as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of operations, and amounts for all prior periods presented are reclassified from continuing operations to discontinued operations. The disposal of an individual property generally will not represent a strategic shift and therefore will typically not meet the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation.

We recognize gains/losses on real estate sales in accordance with the accounting standard on the derecognition of nonfinancial assets arising from contracts with noncustomers. Our ordinary output activities consist of the leasing of space to our tenants in our operating properties, not the sales of real estate. Therefore, sales of real estate (in which we are the seller) qualify as contracts with noncustomers. In our transactions with noncustomers, we apply certain recognition and measurement principles consistent with our method of recognizing revenue arising from contracts with customers. Derecognition of the asset is based on the transfer of control. If a real estate sales contract includes our ongoing involvement with the property, then we evaluate each promised good or service under the contract to determine whether it represents a separate performance obligation, constitutes a guarantee, or prevents the transfer of control. If a good or service is considered a separate performance obligation, an allocated portion of the transaction price is recognized as revenue as we transfer the related good or service to the buyer.

The recognition of gain or loss on the sale of a partial interest also depends on whether we retain a controlling or noncontrolling interest. If we retain a controlling interest upon completion of the sale, we continue to reflect the asset at its book value, record a noncontrolling interest for the book value of the partial interest sold, and recognize additional paid-in capital for the difference between the consideration received and the partial interest at book value. Conversely, if we retain a noncontrolling interest upon completion of the partial sale of real estate, we would recognize a gain or loss as if 100% of the real estate were sold.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Impairment of long-lived assets

Prior to and subsequent to the end of each quarter, we review current activities and changes in the business conditions of all of our long-lived assets to determine the existence of any triggering events or impairment indicators requiring an impairment analysis. If triggering events or impairment indicators are identified, we review an estimate of the future undiscounted cash flows, including, if necessary, a probability-weighted approach if multiple outcomes are under consideration.

Long-lived assets to be held and used, including our rental properties, CIP, land held for development, right-of-use assets related to operating leases in which we are the lessee, and intangibles, are individually evaluated for impairment when conditions exist that may indicate that the carrying amount of a long-lived asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset to be held and used is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Triggering events or impairment indicators for long-lived assets to be held and used are assessed by project and include significant fluctuations in estimated net operating income, occupancy changes, significant near-term lease expirations, current and historical operating and/or cash flow losses, construction costs, estimated completion dates, rental rates, and other market factors. We assess the expected undiscounted cash flows based upon numerous factors, including, but not limited to, construction costs, available market information, current and historical operating results, known trends, current market/economic conditions that may affect the asset, and our assumptions about the use of the asset, including, if necessary, a probability-weighted approach if multiple outcomes are under consideration.

Upon determination that an impairment has occurred, a write-down is recognized to reduce the carrying amount to its estimated fair value. If an impairment charge is not required to be recognized, the recognition of depreciation or amortization is adjusted prospectively, as necessary, to reduce the carrying amount of the real estate to its estimated disposition value over the remaining period that the asset is expected to be held and used. We may adjust depreciation of properties that are expected to be disposed of or redeveloped prior to the end of their useful lives.

We use the held for sale impairment model for our properties classified as held for sale. The held for sale impairment model is different from the held and used impairment model. Under the held for sale impairment model, an impairment charge is recognized if the carrying amount of the long-lived asset classified as held for sale exceeds its fair value less cost to sell. Because of these two different models, it is possible for a long-lived asset previously classified as held and used to require the recognition of an impairment charge upon classification as held for sale.

International operations

In addition to operating properties in the U.S., we have three operating properties in Canada and one operating property in China. The functional currency for our subsidiaries operating in the U.S. is the U.S. dollar. The functional currencies for our foreign subsidiaries are the local currencies in each respective country. The assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect as of the financial statement date. Revenue and expense accounts of our foreign subsidiaries are translated using the weighted-average exchange rate for the periods presented. Gains or losses resulting from the translation are classified in accumulated other comprehensive income as a separate component of total equity and are excluded from net income.

Whenever a foreign investment meets the criteria for classification as held for sale, we evaluate the recoverability of the investment under the held for sale impairment model. We may recognize an impairment charge if the carrying amount of the investment exceeds its fair value less cost to sell. In determining an investment’s carrying amount, we consider its net book value and any cumulative unrealized foreign currency translation adjustment related to the investment.

The appropriate amounts of foreign exchange rate gains or losses classified in accumulated other comprehensive income are reclassified to net income when realized upon the sale of our investment or upon the complete or substantially complete liquidation of our investment.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Investments

We hold investments in publicly traded companies and privately held entities primarily involved in the life science, technology, and agtech industries. As a REIT, we generally limit our ownership of each individual entity’s voting stock to less than 10%. Our equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method and those that result in consolidation of the investee) are measured as follows:

•Investments in publicly traded companies are classified as investments with readily determinable fair values and are presented at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets, with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The fair values for our investments in publicly traded companies are determined based on sales prices or quotes available on securities exchanges.

•Investments in privately held entities without readily determinable fair values fall into two categories:

•Investments in privately held entities that report NAV per share, such as our privately held investments in limited partnerships, are presented at fair value using NAV as a practical expedient, with changes in fair value recognized in net income. We use NAV per share reported by limited partnerships generally without adjustment, unless we are aware of information indicating that the NAV reported by a limited partnership does not accurately reflect the fair value of the investment at our reporting date. We disclose the timing of liquidation of an investee’s assets and the date when redemption restrictions will lapse (or indicate if this timing is unknown) if the investee has communicated this information to us or has announced it publicly.

•Investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV per share are accounted for using a measurement alternative under which these investments are measured at cost, adjusted for observable price changes and impairments, with changes recognized in net income.

For investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV per share, an observable price arises from an orderly transaction for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer, which is observed by an investor without expending undue cost and effort. Observable price changes result from, among other things, equity transactions of the same issuer executed during the reporting period, including subsequent equity offerings or other reported equity transactions related to the same issuer. To determine whether these transactions are indicative of an observable price change, we evaluate, among other factors, whether these transactions have similar rights and obligations, including voting rights, distribution preferences, and conversion rights to the investments we hold.

We monitor investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV per share throughout the year for new developments, including operating results, prospects and results of clinical trials, new product initiatives, new collaborative agreements, capital-raising events, and merger and acquisition activities. These investments are evaluated on the basis of a qualitative assessment for indicators of impairment by monitoring the presence of the following triggering events or impairment indicators: (i) a significant deterioration in the earnings performance, asset quality, or business prospects of the investee; (ii) a significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the investee, (iii) a significant adverse change in the general market condition, including the research and development of technology and products that the investee is bringing or attempting to bring to the market, or (iv) significant concerns about the investee’s ability to continue as a going concern. If such indicators are present, we are required to estimate the investment’s fair value and immediately recognize an impairment charge in an amount equal to the investment’s carrying value in excess of its estimated fair value.

Investments in privately held entities are accounted for under the equity method, unless our interest in the entity is deemed to be so minor that we have virtually no influence over the entity’s operating and financial policies. Under the equity method of accounting, we initially recognize our investment at cost and adjust the carrying amount of the investment to recognize our share of the earnings or losses of the investee subsequent to the date of our investment. We had no investments accounted for under the equity method as of June 30, 2020.

We recognize both realized and unrealized gains and losses in our consolidated statements of operations, classified within investment income. Unrealized gains and losses represent changes in fair value for investments in publicly traded companies, changes in NAV, as a practical expedient to estimate fair value, for investments in privately held entities that report NAV per share, and observable price changes on our investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV per share. Impairments are realized losses, which result in an adjusted cost, and represent charges to reduce the carrying values of investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV per share to their estimated fair value. Realized gains and losses represent the difference between proceeds received upon disposition of investments and their historical or adjusted cost.

In April 2019, the FASB issued an accounting standard that amends the financial instruments standard by clarifying that all private investments that do not report NAV and are adjusted under the measurement alternative (for observable price changes and impairments) described above represent nonrecurring fair value measurement adjustments and therefore require applicable fair value disclosures, including disclosures about the level of the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurements are categorized. The accounting standard became effective for us and was adopted on January 1, 2020. Beginning in 2020, pursuant to the requirements of this new standard, we provide incremental fair value disclosures related to our investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV per share in Note 9 – “Fair Value Measurements” to these unaudited consolidated financial statements.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, our total revenues also included $6.0 million, or 1.4%, and $16.6 million, or 1.9%, respectively, subject to other accounting guidance. For a detailed discussion related to our revenue streams, refer to the “Lease accounting” and “Recognition of revenue arising from contracts with customers” sections within this Note 2 to these unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Lease accounting

Transition

On January 1, 2019, we adopted a new lease accounting standard that sets principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leases for both parties to a lease agreement (i.e., lessees and lessors). The new lease accounting standard required the use of the modified retrospective transition method. Upon adoption of the new lease accounting standard, we elected the following practical expedients and accounting policies provided by this lease standard:

•Package of practical expedients – required us not to reevaluate our existing or expired leases as of January 1, 2019, under the new lease accounting standard.

•Optional transition method practical expedient – required us to apply the new lease accounting standard prospectively from the adoption date of January 1, 2019.

•Single component accounting policy – required us to account for lease and nonlease components within a lease under the new lease accounting standard if certain criteria are met.

•Land easements practical expedient – required us to continue to account for land easements existing as of January 1, 2019, under the accounting standards applied to them prior to January 1, 2019.

•Short-term lease accounting policy – required us not to record the related lease liabilities and right-of-use assets for operating leases in which we are the lessee with a term of 12 months or less.

Upon adoption of the new lease accounting standard, we elected the package of practical expedients and the optional transition method, which permitted January 1, 2019, to be our initial application date. Our election of the package of practical expedients and the optional transition method allowed us not to reassess:

•Whether any contracts effective prior to January 1, 2019, were leases or contained leases. This practical expedient was primarily applicable to entities that had contracts containing embedded leases. As of December 31, 2018, we had no such contracts; therefore, this practical expedient had no effect on us.

•The lease classification for any leases that commenced prior to January 1, 2019. Our election of the package of practical expedients required us not to revisit the classification of our leases that commenced prior to January 1, 2019. For example, all of our leases that were classified as operating leases in accordance with the lease accounting standards in effect prior to January 1, 2019, continued to be classified as operating leases after adoption of the new lease standard.

•Previously capitalized initial direct costs for any leases that commenced prior to January 1, 2019. Our election of the package of practical expedients and the optional transition method required us not to reassess whether initial direct leasing costs capitalized prior to the adoption of the new lease accounting standard in connection with the leases that commenced prior to January 1, 2019, qualified for capitalization under the new lease accounting standard.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

We applied the package of practical expedients consistently to all leases (i.e., in which we were the lessee or the lessor) that commenced before January 1, 2019. The election of this package permitted us to “run off” our leases that commenced before January 1, 2019, for the remainder of their lease terms and to apply the new lease accounting standard to leases commencing or modified after January 1, 2019.

For our leases that commenced prior to January 1, 2019, under the package of practical expedients and optional transition method, we were not required to reassess whether initial direct leasing costs capitalized prior to the adoption of the new lease accounting standard in connection with such leases qualified for capitalization under the new lease accounting standard. Therefore, we continue to amortize these initial direct leasing costs over their respective lease terms.

On January 1, 2019, as required by the new lease accounting standard, we recognized a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings aggregating $3.5 million to write off initial direct leasing costs that were capitalized in connection with leases that were executed but had not commenced before January 1, 2019. These costs were capitalized in accordance with the lease accounting standards existing prior to January 1, 2019, and would not qualify for capitalization under the new lease accounting standard.

Under the package of practical expedients, all of our operating leases existing as of January 1, 2019, in which we were the lessee, continued to be classified as operating leases subsequent to the adoption of the new lease accounting standard. In accordance with the lease accounting standard adopted on January 1, 2019, we classified the present value of the remaining future rental payments associated with these operating leases in our consolidated balance sheets. Consequently, on January 1, 2019, we recognized a lease liability aggregating $218.7 million, which represented the present value of the remaining future rental payments aggregating $590.3 million related to our ground and office leases, in which we were the lessee, existing as of January 1, 2019.

This liability was classified within accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets and included approximately $27.0 million reclassified out of the deferred rent liabilities balance in accordance with the new lease standard. We have also recognized a corresponding right-of-use asset, which was classified within other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. The present value of the remaining lease payments was calculated for each operating lease existing as of January 1, 2019, in which we were the lessee by using each respective remaining lease term and a corresponding estimated incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is the interest rate that we estimated we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term for an amount equal to the lease payments.

Subsequent application of the new lease accounting standard

Definition of a lease

When we enter into a contract or amend an existing contract, we evaluate whether the contract meets the definition of a lease. To meet the definition of a lease, the contract must meet all three criteria:

(i)One party (lessor) must hold an identified asset;

(ii)The counterparty (lessee) must have the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset throughout the period of the contract; and

(iii)The counterparty (lessee) must have the right to direct the use of the identified asset throughout the period of the contract.

Lease classification

The criteria to determine whether a lease should be accounted for as a finance lease for lessees or a sales-type lease for lessors include any of the following:

(i)Ownership is transferred from lessor to lessee by the end of the lease term;

(ii)An option to purchase is reasonably certain to be exercised;

(iii)The lease term is for the major part of the underlying asset’s remaining economic life;

(iv)The present value of lease payments equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset; or

(v)The underlying asset is specialized and is expected to have no alternative use at the end of the lease term.

If any of these criteria is met, a lease is classified as a finance lease by the lessee and as a sales-type lease by the lessor. If none of the criteria are met, a lease is classified as an operating lease by the lessee but may still qualify as a direct financing lease or an operating lease for the lessor. The existence of a residual value guarantee from an unrelated third party other than the lessee may qualify the lease as a direct financing lease by the lessor. Otherwise, the lease is classified as an operating lease by the lessor. Therefore, lessees apply a dual approach by classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether the lease is effectively a financed purchase of the leased asset by the lessee. This classification will determine whether the lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, which corresponds to a similar evaluation performed by lessors.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Lessor accounting

Costs to execute leases

We capitalize initial direct costs, which represent only incremental costs of a lease that would not have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained. Costs that we incur to negotiate or arrange a lease, regardless of its outcome, such as for fixed employee compensation, tax, or legal advice to negotiate lease terms, and other costs, are expensed as incurred.

Operating leases

We account for the revenue from our lease contracts by utilizing the single component accounting policy. This policy requires us to account for, by class of underlying asset, the lease component and nonlease component(s) associated with each lease as a single component if two criteria are met:

(i)The timing and pattern of transfer of the lease component and the nonlease component(s) are the same; and

(ii)The lease component would be classified as an operating lease if it were accounted for separately.

Lease components consist primarily of fixed rental payments, which represent scheduled rental amounts due under our leases, and contingent rental payments. Nonlease components consist primarily of tenant recoveries representing reimbursements of rental operating expenses under our triple net lease structure, including recoveries for utilities, repairs and maintenance, and common area expenses.

If the lease component is the predominant component, we account for all revenues under such lease as a single component in accordance with the lease accounting standard. Conversely, if the nonlease component is the predominant component, all revenues under such lease are accounted for in accordance with the revenue recognition accounting standard. Our operating leases qualify for the single component accounting, and the lease component in each of our leases is predominant. Therefore, we account for all revenues from our operating leases under the lease accounting standard and classify these revenues as income from rentals in our consolidated statements of operations.

We commence recognition of income from rentals related to the operating leases at the date the tenant takes possession or controls the physical use of the leased asset. Income from rentals related to fixed rental payments under operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective operating lease terms. We classify amounts expected to be received in later periods as deferred rent in our consolidated balance sheets. Amounts received currently but recognized as revenue in future periods are classified in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.

Income from rentals related to variable payments includes tenant recoveries and contingent rental payments. Tenant recoveries, including reimbursements of utilities, repairs and maintenance, common area expenses, real estate taxes and insurance, and other operating expenses, are recognized as revenue in the period during which the applicable expenses are incurred and the tenant’s obligation to reimburse us arises. Income from rentals related to other variable payments is recognized when associated contingencies are removed.

We assess collectibility from our tenants of future lease payments for each of our operating leases. If we determine that collectibility is probable, we recognize income from rentals based on the methodology described above. If we determine that collectibility is not probable, we recognize an adjustment to lower our income from rentals. Furthermore, we may recognize a general allowance at a portfolio level (not the individual level), if we do not expect to collect future lease payments in full.

Due to the uncertainties posed to the business and operations of our tenants by the COVID-19 pandemic, during the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recognized an adjustment aggregating $1.6 million to lower our income from rentals and deferred rent related to certain leases where we determined that the collection of future lease payments was not probable. For these leases, we ceased the recognition of income from rentals on a straight-line basis and began the recognition of income from rentals on a cash basis when lease payments are collected. We will not resume straight-line recognition of income from rentals for these leases until we determine that collectibility of future payments related to these leases is probable. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, no further adjustments were required.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we also recorded a general allowance aggregating $3.5 million, which was primarily incurred and recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2020, for a pool of deferred rent balances, which at the portfolio level (not the individual level) was not expected to be collected in full through the lease term. We recorded the general allowance as a reduction of our income from rentals and deferred rent balance within our consolidated statements of operations and consolidated balance sheets, respectively.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Direct financing and sales-type leases

As of June 30, 2020, we had one direct financing lease and no sales-type leases. Income from rentals related to our direct financing lease is recognized over the lease term using the effective interest rate method. At lease commencement, we record an asset within other assets in our consolidated balance sheets, which represents our net investment in the direct financing lease. This initial net investment is determined by aggregating the total future lease payments attributable to the direct financing lease and the estimated residual value of the property less unearned income. Over the lease term, the investment in the direct financing lease is reduced and rental income is recognized as income from rentals in our consolidated statements of operations, producing a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment in the direct financing lease.

We evaluate our net investment in the direct financing lease for impairment under the new current expected credit loss standard that we adopted on January 1, 2020. For more information, refer to the “Allowance for credit losses” section within this Note 2 – “Summary of significant accounting policies” to these unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Lessee accounting

We have operating lease agreements in which we are the lessee consisting of ground and office leases. At the lease commencement date (or at the acquisition date if the lease is acquired as part of a real estate acquisition), we are required to recognize a liability to account for our future obligations under these operating leases, and a corresponding right-of-use asset.

The lease liability is measured based on the present value of the future lease payments, including payments during the term under our extension options that we are reasonably certain to exercise. The present value of the future lease payments is calculated for each operating lease using each respective remaining lease term and a corresponding estimated incremental borrowing rate, which is the interest rate that we estimate we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term for an amount equal to the lease payments. Subsequently, the lease liability is accreted by applying a discount rate established at the lease commencement date to the lease liability balance as of the beginning of the period and is reduced by the payments made during the period. We classify the operating lease liability in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.

The right-of-use asset is measured based on the corresponding lease liability, adjusted for initial direct leasing costs and any other consideration exchanged with the landlord prior to the commencement of the lease, as well as adjustments to reflect favorable or unfavorable terms of an acquired lease when compared with market terms at the time of acquisition. Subsequently, the right-of-use asset is amortized on a straight-line basis during the lease term. We classify the right-of-use asset in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets.

Recognition of revenue arising from contracts with customers

We recognize revenues associated with transactions arising from contracts with customers, excluding revenues subject to the lease accounting standard discussed in the “Lease accounting” section above, in accordance with the revenue recognition accounting standard. A customer is distinguished from a noncustomer by the nature of the goods or services that are transferred. Customers are provided with goods or services that are generated by a company’s ordinary output activities, whereas noncustomers are provided with nonfinancial assets that are outside of a company’s ordinary output activities.

We generally recognize revenue representing the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in the exchange. In order to determine the recognition of revenue from customer contracts, we use a five-step model to (i) identify the contract with the customer, (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur, (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy the performance obligation.

We identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time, based on when control of goods and services transfers to a customer. We consider whether we control the goods or services prior to the transfer to the customer in order to determine whether we should account for the arrangement as a principal or agent. If we determine that we control the goods or services provided to the customer, then we are the principal to the transaction, and we recognize the gross amount of consideration expected in the exchange. If we simply arrange but do not control the goods or services being transferred to the customer, then we are considered to be an agent to the transaction, and we recognize the net amount of consideration we are entitled to retain in the exchange.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Total revenues subject to the revenue recognition accounting standard and classified within income from rentals in our consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, included $4.9 million and $13.2 million, respectively, primarily related to short-term parking revenues associated with long-term lease agreements. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, revenues subject to the revenue recognition accounting standard and classified within income from rentals in our consolidated statements of operations were $12.6 million and $23.4 million, respectively. Short-term parking revenues do not qualify for the single lease component practical expedient, discussed in the “Lessor accounting” subsection of the “Lease accounting” section within this Note 2, due to the difference in the timing and pattern of transfer of our parking service obligations and associated lease components within the same lease agreement. We recognize short-term parking revenues in accordance with the revenue recognition accounting standard when the service is provided and the performance obligation is satisfied, which normally occurs at a point in time.

Monitoring of tenant credit quality

During the term of each lease, we monitor the credit quality and any related material changes of our tenants by (i) monitoring the credit rating of tenants that are rated by a nationally recognized credit rating agency, (ii) reviewing financial statements of the tenants that are publicly available or that are required to be delivered to us pursuant to the applicable lease, (iii) monitoring news reports regarding our tenants and their respective businesses, and (iv) monitoring the timeliness of lease payments.

Allowance for credit losses

On January 1, 2020, we adopted an accounting standard (further clarified in subsequently issued updates) that requires companies to estimate and recognize lifetime expected losses, rather than incurred losses, which results in the earlier recognition of credit losses even if the expected risk of credit loss is remote. The accounting standard applies to most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, net investments in leases arising from sales-type and direct financing leases, and off-balance-sheet credit exposures (e.g., loan commitments). The standard does not apply to the receivables arising from operating leases. An assessment of the collectibility of operating lease payments and the recognition of an adjustment to lease income based on this assessment is governed by the lease accounting standard discussed in the “Lease accounting” section earlier within this Note 2 to these unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Upon adoption of the accounting standard, we had one lease subject to this standard classified as a direct financing lease with a net investment balance aggregating $39.9 million prior to the credit loss adjustment. In this direct financing lease, the payment obligation of the lessee is collateralized by real estate property. Historically, we have had no collection issues related to this direct financing lease; therefore, we assessed the probability of default on this lease based on the lessee’s financial condition, credit rating, business prospects, remaining lease term, and expected value of the underlying collateral upon its repossession. Based on the aforementioned considerations, we estimated a credit loss adjustment related to this direct financing lease aggregating $2.2 million, which was recognized as a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings and as a reduction of the investment in the direct financing lease balance from $39.9 million to $37.7 million in our consolidated balance sheets on January 1, 2020. Subsequent to the initial recognition, at each reporting date we recognize a credit loss adjustment, if necessary, for our current estimate of expected credit losses, which is classified within rental operations in our consolidated statements of operations. For further details, refer to Note 5 – “Leases” to these unaudited consolidated financial statements.

In addition to our direct financing lease, the accounting standard on credit losses applies to our receivables that result from revenue transactions within the scope of the revenue recognition accounting standard discussed in the “Recognition of revenue arising from contracts with customers” section earlier within this Note 2. Upon adoption of the standard on January 1, 2020, our receivables resulting from revenue transactions within the scope of revenue recognition accounting standard aggregated $16.1 million. Among other factors, we considered the short-term nature of these receivables, our positive assessment of the financial condition and business prospects of the payors, and minimal historical collectibility issues. Based on the aforementioned considerations, we estimated the credit loss related to our trade receivables to approximate $259 thousand, which was recognized as a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings and as a reduction of the tenant receivables balance in our consolidated balance sheets on January 1, 2020.

Income taxes

We are organized and operate as a REIT pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). Under the Code, a REIT that distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders annually (excluding net capital gains) and meets certain other conditions is not subject to federal income tax on its distributed taxable income, but could be subject to certain federal, foreign, state, and local taxes. We distribute 100% of our taxable income annually; therefore, a provision for federal income taxes is not required. In addition to our REIT returns, we file federal, foreign, state, and local tax returns for our subsidiaries. We file with jurisdictions located in the U.S., Canada, India, China, and other international locations. Our tax returns are subject to routine examination in various jurisdictions for the 2014 through 2019 calendar years.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Employee and non-employee share-based payments

We have implemented an entity-wide accounting policy to account for forfeitures of share-based awards granted to employees and non-employees when they occur. As a result of this policy, we recognize expense on share-based awards with time-based vesting conditions without reductions for an estimate of forfeitures. This accounting policy only applies to service condition awards. For performance condition awards, we continue to assess the probability that such conditions will be achieved. Expenses related to forfeited awards are reversed as forfeitures occur. In addition, all nonforfeitable dividends paid on share-based payment awards are initially classified in retained earnings and reclassified to compensation cost only if forfeitures of the underlying awards occur. Our employee and non-employee share-based awards are measured on the grant date and recognized over the recipient’s required service period.

Forward equity sales agreements

We account for our forward equity sales agreements in accordance with the accounting guidance governing financial instruments and derivatives. As of June 30, 2020, none of our forward equity sales agreements were deemed to be liabilities as they did not embody obligations to repurchase our shares, nor did they embody obligations to issue a variable number of shares for which the monetary value was predominantly fixed, varied with something other than the fair value of our shares, or varied inversely in relation to our shares. We also evaluated whether the agreements met the derivatives and hedging guidance scope exception to be accounted for as equity instruments and concluded that the agreements can be classified as equity contracts based on the following assessment: (i) none of the agreements’ exercise contingencies were based on observable markets or indices besides those related to the market for our own stock price and operations; and (ii) none of the settlement provisions precluded the agreements from being indexed to our own stock.

Issuer and guarantor subsidiaries of guaranteed securities

In March 2020, the SEC issued an amendment to reduce and simplify financial disclosure requirements for issuers and guarantors of registered debt offerings. The guidance is effective for filings on or after January 4, 2021, with early adoption permitted. Upon evaluation of the guidance, we elected to early adopt the amendment as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Generally, a parent entity must provide separate subsidiary issuer or guarantor financial statements, unless it qualifies for disclosure exceptions provided in the amendment. Currently, a parent entity must fully own the subsidiary issuer or guarantor and guarantee its registered security fully and unconditionally to qualify for disclosure exceptions under the existing guidance. Pursuant to the amendment, a parent entity may be eligible for disclosure exceptions if it meets the following criteria:

•The subsidiary issuer or guarantor is a consolidated subsidiary of the parent company, and

•The subsidiary issues a registered security that is:

•Issued jointly and severally with the parent company, or

•Fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the parent company.

A parent entity that meets the above criteria may instead present summarized financial information (“alternative disclosures”). We evaluated the criteria and determined that we are eligible for the exceptions, which allow us to provide alternative disclosures.

The amendment also allows for further simplification of disclosure requirements for entities that qualify for the alternative disclosures. A parent entity was required to provide disclosures within the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements. However, the amendment allows for such disclosures to be provided outside of the financial statements, including within the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section in Item 2. As such, our disclosures are no longer presented in our financial statements and have been relocated to the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section in Item 2.

Joint venture distributions

We use the “nature of the distribution” approach to determine the classification within our statement of cash flows of cash distributions received from equity method investments, including our unconsolidated joint ventures. Under this approach, distributions are classified based on the nature of the underlying activity that generated the cash distributions. If we lack the information necessary to apply this approach in the future, we will be required to apply the “cumulative earnings” approach as an accounting change on a retrospective basis. Under the cumulative earnings approach, distributions up to the amount of cumulative equity in earnings recognized are classified as cash inflows from operating activities, and those in excess of that amount are classified as cash inflows from investing activities.

Restricted cash

We present cash and cash equivalents separately from restricted cash within our consolidated balance sheets. We include restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows. We provide a reconciliation between the balance sheets and statements of cash flows, as required when the balance includes more than one line item for cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash. We also provide a disclosure of the nature of the restrictions related to material restricted cash balances.

3. INVESTMENTS IN REAL ESTATE

Our consolidated investments in real estate, including real estate assets held for sale as described in Note 15 – “Assets Classified as Held for Sale” to these unaudited consolidated financial statements, consisted of the following as of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019 (in thousands):

(1)In January 2020, we formed a real estate joint venture with subsidiaries of Boston Properties, Inc. Amount excludes our partner’s contributed real estate assets with a total fair market value of $350.0 million. Refer to Note 4 – “Consolidated and unconsolidated real estate joint ventures” to these unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.

(2)Represents the aggregate contractual purchase price of our acquisitions, which can differ from cash outflows related to acquisitions due to closing costs and other acquisition adjustments such as prorations of rents and expenses.

Based upon our evaluation of each acquisition, we determined that substantially all of the fair value related to each acquisition is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, or is associated with a land parcel with no operations. Accordingly, each transaction did not meet the definition of a business and therefore was accounted for as an asset acquisition. In each of these transactions, we allocated the total consideration for each acquisition to the individual assets and liabilities acquired on a relative fair value basis.

3. INVESTMENTS IN REAL ESTATE (continued)

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we acquired 15 properties for an aggregate purchase price of $699.8 million. In connection with our acquisitions, we recorded in-place leases aggregating $83.5 million and below-market leases in which we are the lessor aggregating $21.6 million. As of June 30, 2020, the weighted-average amortization period remaining on our in-place and below-market leases acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2020, was 5.0 years and 4.4 years, respectively, and 4.9 years in total.

In January 2020, we formed a real estate joint venture with subsidiaries of Boston Properties, Inc. through our contribution of real estate assets, and are targeting a 51% ownership interest over time. Our partner contributed three office buildings, aggregating 776,003 RSF, at 601, 611, and 651 Gateway Boulevard, and land supporting 260,000 SF of future development with aggregate fair market value of $350.0 million. For the discussion of our formation of consolidated real estate joint venture, refer to the “Formation of a consolidated real estate joint venture, impairment of an unconsolidated real estate joint venture, and sales of partial interests” section within Note 4 – “Consolidated and unconsolidated real estate joint ventures” to these unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Sales of real estate assets and impairment charges

For the discussion of our sales of partial interests in 681, 685, and 701 Gateway Boulevard in our South San Francisco submarket during the three months ended March 31, 2020, and sales of partial interests in properties at 9808 and 9868 Scranton Road in our Sorrento Mesa submarket during the three months ended June 30, 2020, refer to the “Formation of a consolidated real estate joint venture, impairment of an unconsolidated real estate joint venture, and sales of partial interests” section in Note 4 – “Consolidated and unconsolidated real estate joint ventures” to these unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Impairment charges

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized impairment charges aggregating $15.2 million, which primarily consisted of a $10 million write-off of the pre-acquisition deposit for previously pending acquisition of an operating tech office property for which our revised economic projections declined from our initial underwriting. We recognized this impairment charge in April 2020, concurrently with the submission of our notice to terminate the transaction.

4. CONSOLIDATED AND UNCONSOLIDATED REAL ESTATE JOINT VENTURES

From time to time, we enter into joint venture agreements through which we own a partial interest in real estate entities that own, develop, and operate real estate properties. As of June 30, 2020, our real estate joint ventures held the following properties:

Our consolidation policy is fully described under the “Consolidation” section in Note 2 – “Summary of significant accounting policies” to these unaudited consolidated financial statements. Consolidation accounting is highly technical, but its framework is primarily based on the controlling financial interests and benefits of the joint ventures.

We generally consolidate a joint venture that is a legal entity that we control (i.e., we have the power to direct the activities of the joint venture that most significantly affect its economic performance) through contractual rights, regardless of our ownership interest, and where we determine that we have benefits through the allocation of earnings or losses and fees paid to us that could be significant to the joint venture (the “VIE model”).

We also generally consolidate joint ventures when we have a controlling financial interest through voting rights and where our voting interest is greater than 50% (the “voting model”). Voting interest differs from ownership interest for some joint ventures.

We account for joint ventures that do not meet the consolidation criteria under the equity method of accounting by recognizing our share of income and losses.

Formation of a consolidated real estate joint venture, impairment of an unconsolidated real estate joint venture, and sales of partial interests

Alexandria Technology Center^® – Gateway

In January 2020, we formed a real estate joint venture with subsidiaries of Boston Properties, Inc. We currently own 45% of the real estate joint venture and are expecting to increase our ownership to 51%. Our partner contributed three office buildings, aggregating 776,003 RSF, at 601, 611, and 651 Gateway Boulevard, and land supporting 260,000 SF of future development with aggregate fair market value of $350.0 million. We contributed one office building, one office/laboratory building, one amenity building, aggregating 313,262 RSF, at 701, 681, and 685 Gateway Boulevard, respectively, and land supporting 377,000 SF of future development with aggregate fair market value of $281.9 million. This future campus in our South San Francisco submarket will aggregate 1.7 million RSF.

As part of the joint venture agreement, we are responsible for operations that most significantly impact the economic performance of the joint venture. Our joint venture partner lacks kick-out rights over our role as property manager. Also, our partner lacks substantive participating rights that would allow it to significantly impact the economic performance of the joint venture, and can affect the operations of the joint venture primarily through the exercise of its protective rights. Therefore, we determined that we are the primary beneficiary of the joint venture. Accordingly, we have consolidated the joint venture under the variable interest model.

The aggregate fair value of the properties we contributed to the joint venture of $281.9 million exceeded their historical cost basis. These properties remained consolidated in our financial statements; therefore, no adjustments were made to the carrying values of these properties, and no gain was recognized in our consolidated statements of operations. We accounted for this transaction as an equity transaction with an adjustment of $55.8 million to our additional paid-in capital and noncontrolling interest balances. Refer to the “Consolidation” section in Note 2 – “Summary of significant accounting policies” to these unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.

1401/1413 Research Boulevard

In January 2015, we formed a joint venture with a local retail developer and operator by contributing a land parcel located in our Rockville submarket of Maryland. The joint venture developed a retail shopping center aggregating approximately 90,000 RSF, which was primarily funded by a $26.2 million construction loan that is non-recourse to us and matures in May 2021. As of December 31, 2019, our investment in this joint venture was $7.7 million, which primarily consisted of the value of the retail shopping center, and was accounted for under the equity method of accounting as we did not have a controlling interest.

In March 2020, as a result of the impact of COVID-19 pandemic and the State of Maryland’s shelter-in-place orders, which led to the closure of the retail center, and the near-term secured loan debt maturity, we evaluated the recoverability of our investment and recognized a $7.6 million impairment charge to lower the carrying amount of our investment balance, which primarily consisted of real estate, to its estimated fair value less costs to sell. The estimated real estate impairment charge reduced our investment balance in the joint venture to zero dollars and was classified in equity in earnings of unconsolidated real estate joint ventures within our consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

In April 2020, we completed the sale of a 50% interest in properties at 9808 and 9868 Scranton Road in our Sorrento Mesa submarket, aggregating 219,628 RSF, to our partner in the SD Tech by Alexandria consolidated real estate joint venture, of which we own 50%. The gross proceeds received from our partner were $51.1 million. We continue to control and consolidate this joint venture; therefore, we accounted for the proceeds from this transaction as equity financing with no gain recognized in earnings.

Total liabilities and equity	$	3,665,343	$	3,039,840

In determining whether to aggregate the balance sheet information of consolidated VIEs, we considered the similarity of each VIE, including the primary purpose of these entities to own, manage, operate, and lease real estate properties owned by the VIEs, and the similar nature of our involvement in each VIE as a managing member. Due to the similarity of the characteristics, we present the balance sheet information of these entities on an aggregated basis. None of our consolidated VIEs’ assets have restrictions that limit their use to settle specific obligations of the VIE. There are no creditors or other partners of our consolidated VIEs that have recourse to our general credit. Our maximum exposure to our consolidated VIEs is limited to our variable interests in each VIE.

Unconsolidated real estate joint ventures

Our maximum exposure to our unconsolidated VIEs is limited to our investment in each VIE. Our investments in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, accounted for under the equity method of accounting presented in our consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, consisted of the following (in thousands):

5. LEASES

We are subject to the lease accounting standard that sets principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leases for both parties to a lease agreement (i.e., lessees and lessors).

As a lessor, we are required to disclose, among other things, the following:

•A description of the nature of leases, including terms for any variable payments, options to extend or terminate, and options to purchase the underlying asset;

•Tabular presentation of undiscounted cash flows to be received over the next five years and thereafter separately for operating leases and direct financing leases;

•The amount of lease income and its location on the statements of operations;

•Income classified separately for operating leases and direct financing leases; and

•Our risk management strategy to mitigate declines in residual value of the leased assets.

As a lessee, we are required to disclose, among other things, the following:

•A description of the nature of leases, including terms for any variable payments, options to extend or terminate, and options to purchase the underlying asset;

•The amounts of lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets and their respective locations in the balance sheet;

•The weighted-average remaining lease term and weighted-average discount rate of leases;

•Tabular presentation of undiscounted cash flows of our remaining lease payment obligations over the next five years and thereafter; and

•Total lease costs, including cash paid, amounts expensed, and amounts capitalized.

Refer to the “Lease accounting” section in Note 2 – “Summary of significant accounting policies” to these unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Leases in which we are the lessor

As of June 30, 2020, we had 304 properties aggregating 28.8 million operating RSF located in key locations, including Greater Boston, San Francisco, New York City, San Diego, Seattle, Maryland, and Research Triangle. We focus on developing Class A properties in AAA innovation cluster locations, which we consider to be highly desirable for tenancy by life science, technology, and agtech entities. Such locations are generally characterized by high barriers to entry for new landlords, high barriers to exit for tenants, and a limited supply of available space. As of June 30, 2020, all leases in which we are the lessor were classified as operating leases with the exception of one direct financing lease. Our operating leases and direct financing lease are described below.

Operating leases

As of June 30, 2020, our 304 properties were subject to operating lease agreements. Two of these properties, representing two land parcels, are subject to lease agreements that each contain an option for the lessee to purchase the underlying asset from us at fair market value during each of the 30-day periods commencing on the dates that are 15 years, 30 years, and 74.5 years after the rent commencement date of October 1, 2017. The remaining lease term related to each of the two land parcels is 72.4 years. Our leases generally contain options to extend lease terms at prevailing market rates at the time of expiration. Certain operating leases contain early termination options that require advance notification and payment of a penalty, which in most cases is substantial enough to be deemed economically disadvantageous by a tenant to exercise. Future lease payments to be received under the terms of our operating lease agreements, excluding expense reimbursements, in effect as of June 30, 2020, are outlined in the table below (in thousands):


Year	Amount
2020	$	568,696
2021	1,167,198
2022	1,162,111
2023	1,107,646
2024	1,028,838
Thereafter	6,696,779
Total	$	11,731,268

Refer to Note 3 – “Investments in real estate” to these unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information about our owned real estate assets, which are the underlying assets under our operating leases.

5. LEASES (continued)

Direct financing lease

As of June 30, 2020, we had one direct financing lease agreement for a parking structure with a remaining lease term of 72.4 years. The lessee has an option to purchase the underlying asset at fair market value during each of the 30-day periods commencing on the dates that are 15 years, 30 years, and 74.5 years after the rent commencement date of October 1, 2017. The components of net investment in our direct financing lease are summarized in the table below (in thousands):


	June 30, 2020		December 31, 2019
Gross investment in direct financing lease	$	259,606	$	260,457
Less: unearned income	(219,312)		(220,541)
Less: allowance for credit losses	(2,839)		—
Net investment in direct financing lease	$	37,455	$	39,916

On January 1, 2020, we adopted an accounting standard that requires companies to estimate and recognize expected losses, rather than incurred losses, which results in the earlier recognition of credit losses even if the expected risk of credit loss is remote. This new accounting standard applies to our direct financing lease described above. Upon adoption of the new standard on January 1, 2020, we recognized a credit loss adjustment related to this direct financing lease aggregating $2.2 million, as described in detail within the “Allowance for credit losses” section in Note 2 – “Summary of significant accounting policies” to these unaudited consolidated financial statements. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we updated our assessment of the current estimated credit loss related to this direct financing lease and estimated the loss to increase to $2.8 million as of March 31, 2020. As a result, we recognized an additional credit loss adjustment of $614 thousand classified within rental operations in our consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020. No adjustment to the estimated credit loss balance was required during the three months ended June 30, 2020. For further details, refer to the “Allowance for credit losses” section in Note 2 – “Summary of significant accounting policies.”

Future lease payments to be received under the terms of our direct financing lease as of June 30, 2020, are outlined in the table below (in thousands):


Year	Total
2020	$	856
2021	1,756
2022	1,809
2023	1,863
2024	1,919
Thereafter	251,403
Total	$	259,606

Income from rentals

Our total income from rentals includes revenue related to agreements for the rental of our real estate, which primarily includes revenues subject to the lease accounting standard and to the revenue recognition accounting standard as shown below (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2020		2019		2020		2019
Income from rentals:
Revenues subject to the lease accounting standard:
Operating leases	$	430,339	$	358,461	$	859,083	$	701,802

Income from rentals	$	435,856	$	371,618	$	873,461	$	726,367

Our revenues that are subject to the revenue recognition accounting standard and are classified in income from rentals consist primarily of short-term parking revenues that are not considered lease revenues under the lease accounting standard. Refer to the “Revenues” and “Recognition of revenue arising from contracts with customers” sections in Note 2 – “Summary of significant accounting policies” to these unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.

5. LEASES (continued)

Residual value risk management strategy

Our leases do not have guarantees of residual value on the underlying assets. We manage risk associated with the residual value of our leased assets by (i) evaluating each potential acquisition of real estate to determine whether it meets our business objective to invest primarily in high-demand markets with limited supply of available space, (ii) directly managing our leased properties, conducting frequent property inspections, proactively addressing potential maintenance issues before they arise, and timely resolving any occurring issues, (iii) carefully selecting our tenants and monitoring their credit quality throughout their respective lease terms, and (iv) focusing on making continuous improvements to our sustainability efforts and achievement of our sustainability goals for ground-up development of new buildings, which are targeting Gold or Platinum LEED^® certification. Our environmentally focused design decisions, careful selection of construction materials, and continuous monitoring of our properties throughout their lives are expected to promote the durability of building infrastructure and enhance residual value of our properties.

Leases in which we are the lessee

Operating lease agreements

We have operating lease agreements in which we are the lessee consisting of ground and office leases. Certain of these leases have options to extend or terminate the contract terms upon meeting certain criteria. There are no notable restrictions or covenants imposed by the leases, nor guarantees of residual value.

Additionally, we recognize a right-of-use asset, which was classified within other assets in our consolidated balance sheets, and a related liability, which was classified within accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets, to account for our future obligations under ground and office lease arrangements in which we are the lessee. Refer to the “Lessee accounting” subsection of the “Lease accounting” section in Note 2 – “Summary of significant accounting policies” to these unaudited consolidated financial statements.

As of June 30, 2020, the present value of the remaining contractual payments aggregating $733.5 million, under our operating lease agreements, including our extension options that we are reasonably certain to exercise, was $291.7 million. Our corresponding operating lease right-of-use assets, adjusted for initial direct leasing costs and other consideration exchanged with the landlord prior to the commencement of the lease, aggregated $283.6 million. As of June 30, 2020, the weighted-average remaining lease term of operating leases in which we are the lessee was approximately 43 years, and the weighted-average discount rate was 5.17%. The weighted-average discount date is based on the incremental borrowing rate estimated for each lease, which is the interest rate that we estimate we would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term for an amount equal to the lease payments.

Ground lease obligations as of June 30, 2020, included leases for 33 of our properties, which accounted for approximately 11% of our total number of properties. Excluding one ground lease that expires in 2036 related to one operating property with a net book value of $7.5 million as of June 30, 2020, our ground lease obligations have remaining lease terms ranging from approximately 33 years to 94 years, including extension options which we are reasonably certain to exercise.

The reconciliation of future lease payments, under non-cancelable operating ground and office leases in which we are the lessee, to the operating lease liability reflected in our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2020, is presented in the table below (in thousands):


Year	Total

Effect of discounting	(441,814)
Operating lease liability	$	291,710

5. LEASES (continued)

Lessee operating costs

Operating lease costs relate to our ground and office leases in which we are the lessee. Ground leases generally require fixed annual rent payments and may also include escalation clauses and renewal options. Our operating lease obligations related to our office leases have remaining terms of up to 14 years, exclusive of extension options. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, our costs for operating leases in which we are the lessee were as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2020		2019		2020		2019
Gross operating lease costs	$	5,816	$	4,870	$	11,437	$	9,424

Expenses for operating leases in which we are the lessee	$	4,936	$	4,482	$	9,717	$	8,974

For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, amounts paid and classified as operating activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows for leases in which we are the lessee, were $10.5 million and $8.9 million, respectively.

6. CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS, AND RESTRICTED CASH

Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash consisted of the following as of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019 (in thousands):

Other	5,606		5,425
	34,680		53,008
Total	$	241,540	$	242,689

7. INVESTMENTS

We hold investments in publicly traded companies and privately held entities primarily involved in the life science, technology, and agtech industries, further described below.

Investments in publicly traded companies

Our investments in publicly traded companies are classified as investments with readily determinable fair values and are presented at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets, with changes in fair value classified in investment income in our consolidated statements of operations.

Investments in privately held companies

Our investments in privately held entities consist of (i) investments in entities that report NAV, and (ii) investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV. These investments are accounted for as follows:

Investments in privately held entities that report NAV

Investments in entities that report NAV, such as our privately held investments in limited partnerships, are presented at fair value using NAV as a practical expedient, with changes in fair value recognized in net income. We use NAV reported by limited partnerships generally without adjustment, unless we are aware of information indicating that the NAV reported by a limited partnership does not accurately reflect the fair value of the investment at our reporting date.

Investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV

Investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV are carried at cost, adjusted for observable price changes and impairments, with changes recognized in net income. These investments continue to be evaluated on the basis of a qualitative assessment for indicators of impairment by utilizing the same monitoring criteria described in the “Investments” section in Note 2 – “Summary of significant accounting policies” to these unaudited consolidated financial statements, and by monitoring the presence of the following impairment indicators:

(i)a significant deterioration in the earnings performance, credit rating, asset quality, or business prospects of the investee,

(ii)a significant adverse change in the regulatory, economic, or technological environment of the investee,

(iii)a significant adverse change in the general market condition of either the geographical area or the industry in which the investee operates, and/or

(iv)significant concerns about the investee’s ability to continue as a going concern.

If such indicators are present, we are required to estimate the investment’s fair value and immediately recognize an impairment charge in an amount equal to the investment’s carrying value in excess of its estimated fair value.

Investment income/loss recognition and classification

We classify unrealized and realized gains and losses on our investments within investment income in our consolidated statements of operations. Unrealized gains and losses represent:

(i)changes in fair value for investments in publicly traded companies,

(ii)changes in NAV, as a practical expedient to estimate fair value, for investments in privately held entities that report NAV, and/or

(iii)observable price changes of our investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV.

An observable price arises from an orderly transaction for an identical or similar investment of the same issuer. Observable price changes result from, among other things, equity transactions of the same issuer executed during the reporting period, including subsequent equity offerings or other reported equity transactions related to the same issuer. To determine whether these transactions are indicative of an observable price change, we evaluate, among other factors, whether these transactions have similar rights and obligations, including voting rights, distribution preferences, and conversion rights to the investments we hold.

7. INVESTMENTS (continued)

Realized gains and losses represent the difference between proceeds received upon disposition of investments and their historical or adjusted cost. Impairments are realized losses, which result in an adjusted cost, and represent charges to reduce the carrying values of investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV to their estimated fair value.

The following tables summarize our investments as of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019 (in thousands):


	June 30, 2020

Cumulative adjustments recognized on investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV, held as of June 30, 2020, aggregated $74.7 million, which consisted of upward adjustments representing unrealized gains of $77.0 million and downward adjustments representing unrealized losses of $2.3 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, adjustments recognized on investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV aggregated $6.2 million, which consisted of upward adjustments of $7.5 million primarily representing unrealized gains, and downward adjustments of $1.3 million representing unrealized losses. Additionally, we recognized an impairment charge of $24.5 million primarily related to four investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV. Refer to the “Investments” section of Note 2 – “Summary of significant accounting policies” to these unaudited consolidated financial statements for further details.

Investments in privately held entities that report NAV

We are committed to funding approximately $224.9 million for all investments in privately held entities primarily related to our investments in limited partnerships. Our funding commitments expire at various dates over the next 11 years, with a weighted-average expiration of 8.5 years as of June 30, 2020. These investments are not redeemable by us, but we may receive distributions from these investments throughout their term. Our investments in privately held entities that report NAV generally have expected initial terms in excess of 10 years. The weighted-average remaining term during which these investments are expected to be liquidated was 5.3 years as of June 30, 2020.

9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

We provide fair value information about all financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. We measure and disclose the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities by utilizing a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions. This hierarchy consists of three broad levels, as follows: (i) quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), (ii) significant other observable inputs (Level 2), and (iii) significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). Significant other observable inputs can include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves. Significant unobservable inputs are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, since there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances in which the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. There were no transfers between the levels in the fair value hierarchy during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis

The following table sets forth the assets that we measure at fair value on a recurring basis by level in the fair value hierarchy (in thousands). There were no liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019.


			Fair Value Measurement Using

Our investments in publicly traded companies represent investments with readily determinable fair values, and are carried at fair value, with changes in fair value classified in net income. We also hold investments in privately held entities, which consist of (i) investments that report NAV, and (ii) investments that do not report NAV, further described below.

Our investments in privately held entities that report NAV, such as our privately held investments in limited partnerships, are carried at fair value using NAV as a practical expedient, with changes in fair value classified in net income. As of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the carrying values of investments in privately held entities that report NAV aggregated $521.6 million and $433.9 million, respectively. These investments are excluded from the fair value hierarchy above as required by the fair value accounting standards. We estimate the fair value of each of our investments in limited partnerships based on the most recent NAV reported by each limited partnership. As a result, the determination of fair values of our investments in privately held entities that report NAV generally does not involve significant estimates, assumptions, or judgments.

9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (continued)

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis

On January 1, 2020, we adopted a new accounting standard described within the “Investments” section in Note 2 – “Summary of significant accounting policies” to these unaudited consolidated financial statements. Beginning in 2020, in accordance with this new accounting standard, we provide fair value disclosures, including disclosures about the level in the fair value hierarchy, for our investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV, which were adjusted to their fair value by applying the measurement alternative described within the “Investments” section in Note 2 – “Summary of significant accounting policies” to these unaudited consolidated financial statements.

The following table sets forth the assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2020 (in thousands). These investments were measured at various times during the period from January 1, 2018, to June 30, 2020.


			Fair Value Measurement Using
Description	Total		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)			Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV	$	140,089	$	—	$	123,273	⁽¹⁾	$	16,816	⁽²⁾

(1)This balance represents the total carrying amount of our equity investments in privately held entities with observable price changes, included in our total investments balance of $1.3 billion in our consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2020. For more information, refer to Note 7 – “Investments” to these unaudited consolidated financial statements.

(2)This amount is included in the $251.7 million balance of investments in privately held entities without observable price changes disclosed in Note 7 – “Investments” to these unaudited consolidated financial statements, and represents the carrying amount of investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV for which impairments have been recognized in accordance with the measurement alternative guidance described within the “Investments” section in Note 2 – “Summary of significant accounting policies.”

Our investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV are measured at cost, adjusted for observable price changes and impairments, with changes recognized in net income. These investments are evaluated on a nonrecurring basis based on the observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer. Further adjustments are not made until another observable transaction occurs. Therefore, the determination of fair values of our investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV does not involve significant estimates and assumptions or subjective and complex judgments.

We also subject our investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV to a qualitative assessment for indicators of impairment. If indicators of impairment are present, we are required to estimate the investment’s fair value and immediately recognize an impairment charge in an amount equal to the investment’s carrying value in excess of its estimated fair value. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized an impairment charge of $24.5 million primarily related to four investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV.

The estimates of fair value typically incorporate valuation techniques that include an income approach reflecting a discounted cash flow analysis, and a market approach that includes a comparative analysis of acquisition multiples and pricing multiples generated by market participants. In certain instances, we may use multiple valuation techniques for a particular investment and estimate its fair value based on an average of multiple valuation results.

Refer to the “Formation of a consolidated real estate joint venture, impairment of an unconsolidated real estate joint venture, and sales of partial interests” section in Note 4 – “Consolidated and unconsolidated real estate joint ventures,” Note 7 – “Investments,” and Note 15 – “Assets classified as held for sale” to these unaudited consolidated financial statements for further discussion on assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, tenant receivables, deposits, notes receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other short-term liabilities approximate their fair value.

The fair values of our secured notes payable, unsecured senior notes payable, and our $2.2 billion and $750 million unsecured senior lines of credit were estimated using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analyses using significant other observable inputs such as available market information on discount and borrowing rates with similar terms, maturities, and credit ratings. Because the valuations of our financial instruments are based on these types of estimates, the actual fair value of our financial instruments may differ materially if our estimates do not prove to be accurate. Additionally, the use of different market assumptions or estimation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

(1)Represents the weighted-average interest rate as of the end of the applicable period, including amortization of loan fees, amortization of debt premiums (discounts), and other bank fees.

(2)Reflects any extension options that we control.

(3)Under our commercial paper program, we have the ability to issue up to $1.0 billion in commercial paper notes bearing interest at short-term fixed rates, generally with a maturity of 30 days or less and with a maximum maturity of 397 days from the date of issuance. Borrowings under the program will be used to fund short-term capital needs and are backed by our $2.2 billion unsecured senior line of credit. In the event we are unable to issue commercial paper notes or refinance outstanding borrowings under terms equal to or more favorable than those under the $2.2 billion unsecured senior line of credit, we expect to borrow under the $2.2 billion unsecured senior line of credit at L+0.825%. The commercial paper notes sold during the three months ended June 30, 2020, were issued at a weighted-average yield to maturity of 0.79%.

(4)During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we did not draw on our $750 million unsecured senior line of credit. Pursuant to the terms of the $750 million unsecured senior line of credit agreement, the outstanding commitments will be reduced by 100% of net proceeds from the issuance of new corporate debt and 50% of the net proceeds from the settlement of our forward equity sales agreements entered into in July 2020. As of the date of this report, none of our forward equity sales agreements entered into in July 2020 have been settled.

10. SECURED AND UNSECURED SENIOR DEBT (continued)

(1)Represents the weighted-average interest rate as of the end of the applicable period, including expense/income related to the amortization of loan fees, amortization of debt premiums (discounts), and other bank fees.

(2)Includes our commercial paper program, which had no outstanding balance as of June 30, 2020.

Unsecured senior notes payable

In March 2020, we completed an offering of $700.0 million of unsecured senior notes payable due on December 15, 2030, at an interest rate of 4.90% for net proceeds of $691.6 million. The net proceeds were used to reduce the outstanding indebtedness under our $2.2 billion unsecured senior line of credit and commercial paper program. Since January 1, 2019, we have completed the issuances of $3.4 billion in unsecured senior notes, with a weighted-average interest rate of 3.95% and a weighted-average maturity as of June 30, 2020, of 15.2 years.

$1.0 billion commercial paper program

In September 2019, we established a commercial paper program, which received credit ratings of A-2 from S&P Global Ratings and Prime-2 from Moody’s Investors Service. Under this program, we have the ability to issue up to $750.0 million of commercial paper notes generally with a maturity of 30 days or less and with a maximum maturity of 397 days from the date of issuance. Our commercial paper program is backed by our $2.2 billion unsecured senior line of credit, and at all times we expect to retain a minimum undrawn amount of borrowing capacity under our $2.2 billion unsecured senior line of credit equal to any outstanding balance on our commercial paper program. The net proceeds from the issuances of the notes are expected to be used for general working capital and other general corporate purposes. General corporate purposes may include, but are not limited to, the repayment of other debt and selective development, redevelopment, or acquisition of properties.

In March 2020, we increased the aggregate amount we may issue from time to time under our commercial paper program from $750.0 million to $1.0 billion. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the commercial paper notes were issued at a weighted-average yield to maturity of 0.79%. As of June 30, 2020, we had no outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper program.

Additional $750 million unsecured senior line of credit

In April 2020, we closed an additional unsecured senior line of credit with $750.0 million of available commitments. The new unsecured senior line of credit matures on April 14, 2022, and bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.05%. In addition to the cost of borrowing, this line of credit is subject to an annual facility fee of 0.20% based on the aggregate commitment outstanding.

Pursuant to the terms of the new line of credit agreement, the outstanding commitments and any outstanding borrowings from the $750 million unsecured senior line of credit will be reduced by 100% of net cash proceeds from certain new debt transactions and 50% of net cash proceeds from new equity offerings as defined in the agreement. Therefore, upon full or partial settlement of our forward equity sales agreements entered into in July 2020, described further under the “Common equity transactions” section of Note 13 – “Stockholders’ equity” to these unaudited consolidated financial statements, the outstanding commitments and any outstanding borrowings from the $750 million unsecured senior line of credit will be reduced by 50% of net proceeds received from the settlement related to the aforementioned agreements entered into in July 2020. As of the date of this report, none of our forward equity sales agreements entered into in July 2020 have been settled. Including our existing $2.2 billion unsecured senior line of credit, we have $2.95 billion in aggregate commitments under our unsecured senior lines of credit as of June 30, 2020.

Interest expense

The following table summarizes interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,

11. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE, ACCRUED EXPENSES, AND OTHER LIABILITIES

The following table summarizes the components of accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities as of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019 (in thousands):


	June 30, 2020		December 31, 2019
Accounts payable and accrued expenses	$	233,661	$	198,994

Other liabilities	82,906		86,078
Total	$	1,343,181	$	1,320,268

Some of our properties may contain asbestos, which, under certain conditions, requires remediation. Although we believe that the asbestos is appropriately contained in accordance with environmental regulations, our practice is to remediate the asbestos upon the development or redevelopment of the affected property. We recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation (including asbestos) when the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. For certain properties, we do not recognize an asset retirement obligation when there is an indeterminate settlement date for the obligation because the period in which we may remediate the obligation may not be estimated with any level of precision to provide for a meaningful estimate of the retirement obligation.

12. EARNINGS PER SHARE

From time to time, we enter into forward equity sales agreements, which are discussed in Note 13 – “Stockholders’ equity” to these unaudited consolidated financial statements. We considered the potential dilution resulting from the forward equity sales agreements on the EPS calculations. At inception, the agreements do not have an effect on the computation of basic EPS as no shares are delivered until settlement. The common shares issued upon the settlement of the forward equity sales agreements, weighted for the period these common shares were outstanding, are included in the denominator of basic EPS. To determine the dilution resulting from the forward equity sales agreements during the period of time prior to settlement, we calculate the number of weighted-average shares outstanding – diluted using the treasury stock method.

In October 2019, we elected to convert 2.3 million outstanding shares of our 7.00% Series D convertible preferred stock (“Series D Convertible Preferred Stock”) into shares of our common stock. As of December 31, 2019, we had no shares of our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding. For the period in 2019 during which our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock was outstanding, we calculated the number of weighted-average shares outstanding – diluted using the if-converted method. Shares of Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc.’s common shares issued upon conversion, weighted for the period the common shares were outstanding, were included in the denominator for the period after the date of conversion.

We account for unvested restricted stock awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends as participating securities and include these securities in the computation of EPS using the two-class method. Our forward equity sales agreements are not participating securities and are therefore not included in the computation of EPS using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, we allocate net income (after amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests, dividends on preferred stock, and preferred stock redemption charge) to common stockholders and unvested restricted stock awards by using the weighted-average shares of each class outstanding for quarter-to-date and year-to-date periods independently, based on their respective participation rights to dividends declared (or accumulated) and undistributed earnings.

The table below is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted EPS computations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

13. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common equity transactions

In January 2020, we entered into forward equity sales agreements aggregating $1.0 billion to sell an aggregate of 6.9 million shares of our common stock (including the exercise of an underwriters’ option) at a public offering price of $155.00 per share, before underwriting discounts. In March 2020, we settled 3.4 million shares from our forward equity sales agreement and received proceeds of $500.0 million. We expect to settle the remaining outstanding forward equity sales agreements in 2020, and receive proceeds of approximately $519.6 million, to be further adjusted as provided in the aforementioned agreements. We expect to use the proceeds to fund pending and recently completed acquisitions and the construction of our highly leased development projects.

In February 2020, we entered into a new ATM common stock offering program, which allows us to sell up to an aggregate of $850.0 million of our common stock. As of June 30, 2020, we have $843.7 million available under our ATM program.

In July 2020, we entered into forward equity sales agreements aggregating $1.1 billion to sell an aggregate of 6.9 million shares of our common stock (including the exercise of an underwriters’ option) at a public offering price of $160.50 per share, before underwriting discounts. We expect to settle these forward equity sales agreements in 2020, and to use proceeds to fund pending and recently completed acquisitions and the construction of our highly leased development projects.

Dividends

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we declared cash dividends on our common stock aggregating $130.0 million,

or $1.03 per share. In April 2020, we paid the cash dividends on our common stock declared for the three months ended March 31,

2020.

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we declared cash dividends on our common stock aggregating $133.7 million, or $1.06 per share. In July 2020, we paid the cash dividends on our common stock declared for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

Common stock, preferred stock, and excess stock authorizations

Our charter authorizes the issuance of 200.0 million shares of common stock, of which 124.6 million shares were issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2020. Our charter also authorizes the issuance of up to 100.0 million shares of preferred stock, none of which were issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2020. In addition, 200.0 million shares of “excess stock” (as defined in our charter) are authorized, none of which were issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2020.

14. NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

Noncontrolling interests represent the third-party interests in certain entities in which we have a controlling interest. These entities owned 41 properties as of June 30, 2020, and are included in our consolidated financial statements. Noncontrolling interests are adjusted for additional contributions and distributions, the proportionate share of the net earnings or losses, and other comprehensive income or loss. Distributions, profits, and losses related to these entities are allocated in accordance with the respective operating agreements. During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we distributed $38.2 million and $24.6 million, respectively, to our consolidated real estate joint venture partners.

Certain of our noncontrolling interests have the right to require us to redeem their ownership interests in the respective entities. We classify these ownership interests in the entities as redeemable noncontrolling interests outside of total equity in our consolidated balance sheets. Redeemable noncontrolling interests are adjusted for additional contributions and distributions, the proportionate share of the net earnings or losses, and other comprehensive income or loss. If the amount of a redeemable noncontrolling interest is less than the maximum redemption value at the balance sheet date, such amount is adjusted to the maximum redemption value. Subsequent declines in the redemption value are recognized only to the extent that previous increases have been recognized.

15. ASSETS CLASSIFIED AS HELD FOR SALE

As of June 30, 2020, four properties aggregating 518,765 RSF were classified as held for sale in our consolidated financial statements, none of which met the criteria for classification as discontinued operations.

In June 2020, we decided to sell a real estate investment aggregating 60,759 RSF located in Greater Boston, which met the criteria for classification as held for sale but did not meet the criteria for classification as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements. We determined the estimated fair value of this asset less costs to sell was greater than the carrying amount of the asset. Refer to “Impairment of long-lived assets” within Note 2 – “Summary of significant account policies” to these unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional information.

The following is a summary of net assets as of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, for our real estate investments that were classified as held for sale as of each respective date (in thousands):

•Government factors such as any unfavorable effects resulting from federal, state, local, and/or foreign government policies, laws, and/or funding levels.

•Global factors such as negative economic, political, financial, credit market, and/or banking conditions.

•Uncertain global, national, and local impacts of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

•Other factors such as climate change, cyber intrusions, and/or changes in laws, regulations, and financial accounting standards.

This list of risks and uncertainties is not exhaustive. Additional information regarding risk factors that may affect us is included under “Item 1A. Risk factors” and “Item 7. Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations” of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, and respective sections within this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Readers of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should also read our other documents filed publicly with the SEC for further discussion regarding such factors.

The COVID-19 pandemic

In December 2019, a novel coronavirus, which causes respiratory illness and spreads from person to person (COVID-19), was first identified during an investigation into an outbreak in Wuhan, China. The first case of COVID-19 in the U.S. was reported on January 20, 2020. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the U.S. declared a national emergency with respect to COVID-19. As of July 24, 2020, according to the World Health Organization, over 15 million novel coronavirus cases have been reported worldwide. The U.S. has reported more than 3.9 million cases of COVID-19 and over 140,000 deaths as of July 24, 2020.

COVID-19 disease, treatment, and measures to combat the pandemic

Most patients with COVID-19 have had mild to severe respiratory illness with symptoms of fever, chills, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, and loss of taste. Many individuals with COVID-19 are asymptomatic and show limited to no symptoms, highlighting the ongoing challenge of containing the continued spread of COVID-19. Some patients develop pneumonia in both lungs and/or multi-organ failure, which in some cases leads to death. There is currently no specific treatment or vaccine for COVID-19, however since scientists shared the virus’s genetic makeup in January 2020, intense research has been underway around the world. At this time, while there are no FDA-approved drugs for the treatment of COVID-19, the FDA has granted emergency use authorization for the antiviral drug remdesivir to treat severe COVID-19. In addition, the U.S. National Institutes of Health (“NIH”) has recommended the corticosteroid dexamethasone for patients with severe COVID-19 who require supplemental oxygen or mechanical ventilation.

Vaccine testing in humans started with record speed in March 2020 and as of July 24, 2020, has evolved to over 165 potential vaccines in different stages of development. The current vaccines in development use a myriad of different scientific approaches to attempt to provoke an immune response, including:

•Genetic vaccines that use part of the coronavirus’s genetic code;

•Viral vector vaccines that use a virus to deliver coronavirus genes into cells;

•Protein-based vaccines that use a coronavirus protein or protein fragment to stimulate the immune system; and

•Whole-virus vaccines that use a weakened or inactivated version of the coronavirus.

At least 27 potential vaccines are currently in human clinical trials and in order to accelerate vaccine development, a number of these potential vaccines are in combined Phase I/II trials. Phase I trials typically include a small number of participants to test safety and dosage as well as to confirm that the vaccine stimulates the immune system. Phase II trials involve hundreds of participants split into groups, such as children and the elderly, to determine whether the vaccine acts differently in each subpopulation. Phase III trials involve delivering the vaccine to tens of thousands of people and waiting to see how many become infected, and the severity of symptoms, compared with volunteers who receive a placebo. Regulators in each country will review the trial results to make a determination as to whether the drug or vaccine should be approved. As of July 24, 2020, there are four potential vaccines in Phase III trials.

Regulators around the world are expected to expedite approvals or to allow for emergency use authorizations before issuing formal approvals for vaccines that prove successful in clinical trials. Vaccine candidates that demonstrate significant safety and efficacy in Phase II or Phase III trials may become available as early as year-end 2020 or in early 2021. Furthermore, the U.S. government’s Operation Warp Speed program has announced a handful of company partners to which it will allocate billions of dollars in federal funding to help expedite the development and manufacturing of coronavirus vaccines and treatments.

Shelter-in-place and stay-at-home orders

On March 19, 2020, California became the first state to set mandatory stay-at-home restrictions to help combat the spread of the coronavirus. The order included the shutdown of all nonessential services, such as dine-in restaurants, bars, gyms, conference or convention centers, and other businesses not deemed to support critical infrastructure. Exceptions for essential services, such as grocery stores, pharmacies, gas stations, food banks, convenience stores, and delivery restaurants, have allowed these services to remain open. Subsequently, almost all states issued similar orders, including New York, Massachusetts, Washington, Maryland, and North Carolina, where our remaining properties outside California are located. Countries around the world also implemented measures to slow the spread of the coronavirus, from national quarantines to school closures or similar types of stay-at-home orders or movement limitations.

Most state orders expired or were rescinded between May and early June 2020, and authorities began reopening businesses, including retail stores, restaurants, bars, salons, houses of worship, entertainment venues such as movie theaters and museums, and manufacturing facilities and offices. Daily new COVID-19 cases in the U.S., which declined to approximately 18,000 new cases by June 9, 2020, from the low- to mid-30,000 daily range in April 2020, began to increase after reopenings commenced across the country. On July 19, 2020, a new daily record of 74,000 new cases was reported, with daily case numbers rising significantly, particularly in South and Southwest states, including Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Mississippi, North Carolina, Texas, Tennessee, and California, all of which reported single-day records for new cases and deaths. As a result of the resurgence of new infections, states have begun to reconsider their reopenings and have warned that new lockdowns may be needed to reverse the increasing trend of infections.

Impact to the global and U.S. economy

As a result of the unprecedented measures taken in the U.S. and around the world, the disruption and impact to the U.S. and global economies and financial markets by the COVID-19 pandemic have been significant. It is feared that this pandemic could trigger, or has already triggered, a period of prolonged global economic slowdown or global recession. The International Monetary Fund (“IMF”) estimated in April 2020 that the global economy could be facing its worst recession since the Great Depression of the 1930s, with a 3% negative growth in 2020 rather than an expansion of 3.3% as it projected in January 2020.

In June 2020, the IMF revised its April forecast downward, projecting global growth to shrink by 4.9% in 2020, or 1.9% below the April 2020 forecast. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a more negative impact on activity in the first half of 2020 than anticipated, and the recovery is projected to be more gradual than previously forecast according to the IMF. In 2021, global growth is projected at 5.4%. Overall, this would leave 2021 U.S. gross domestic product some 6.5% lower than in the pre-COVID-19 projections of January 2020. The adverse impact on low-income households is particularly acute, imperiling the significant progress made in reducing extreme poverty in the world since the 1990s.

The IMF is currently projecting all advanced economies will contract in 2020, including an 8% contraction in the U.S. Based on the data provided by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on July 2, 2020, the unemployment rate in the U.S. is up by 7.6% since February 2020 to 11.1%, although down from the 13.3% from the month before. The July 2020 data reported 4.8 million jobs created in June 2020; however, the recent surge in new COVID-19 cases could make these job gains temporary. Stock markets around the globe have rebounded substantially since March 2020; however, since the pandemic was declared, access to capital has become much more challenging for most companies or non-existent for some.

The unprecedented disruption and impact to the U.S. and global economies and financial markets by the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the U.S. President’s signing into law on March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act, a $2 trillion economic stimulus package. The CARES Act allocated over $140 billion to the U.S. health system to support COVID-19-related manufacturing, production, diagnostics, and treatments, and to accelerate the market entrance of necessary vaccines and cures. The CARES Act also designated $945.4 million specifically to the NIH, which is a tenant of ours in our Maryland market, to combat COVID-19, which includes, but is not limited to, providing support for research, construction, and acquisition of equipment for vaccine and infectious disease research facilities, including the acquisition of real property. In addition, on April 24, 2020, the U.S. President signed the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act into law, which provided an additional $484 billion relief package to primarily assist distressed small businesses and to prevent them from shutting their operations and laying off their employees. This package designated $75 billion to hospitals and $25 billion for a new COVID-19 testing program. It is too early to determine if the CARES Act and the $484 billion relief package were effective or sufficient to offset some of the most severe economic effects of the pandemic. Furthermore, the programs initiated under the aforementioned COVID-19 relief and stimulus packages are set to expire in the coming weeks. Unless the government extends the deadlines or introduces new relief measures, the impact of expirations on the U.S. economy could be severe and could lead to further deterioration of economic conditions, higher unemployment rates, and prolonged recession, which in turn could materially affect our (or our tenants’) performance, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

See “Item 1A. Risk factors” within “Part II – Other information” of this quarterly report, for additional discussion of the risks posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, and uncertainties we, our tenants, and the national and global economies face as a result.

Overview

We are a Maryland corporation formed in October 1994 that has elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. We are anS&P 500^®urban office REIT and the first, longest-tenured, and pioneering owner, operator, and developer uniquely focused on collaborative life science, technology, and agtech campuses in AAA innovation cluster locations, with a total market capitalization of $27.7 billion and an asset base in North America of 43.0 million SF as of June 30, 2020. The asset base in North America includes 28.8 million RSF of operating properties and 2.3 million RSF of Class A properties undergoing construction, 6.6 million RSF of near-term and intermediate-term development and redevelopment projects, and 5.3 million SF of future development projects. Founded in 1994, we pioneered this niche and have since established a significant market presence in key locations, including Greater Boston, San Francisco, New York City, San Diego, Seattle, Maryland, and Research Triangle. We have a longstanding and proven track record of developing Class A properties clustered in urban life science, technology, and agtech campuses that provide our innovative tenants with highly dynamic and collaborative environments that enhance their ability to successfully recruit and retain world-class talent and inspire productivity, efficiency, creativity, and success. Alexandria also provides strategic capital to transformative life science, technology, and agtech companies through our venture capital arm. We believe these advantages result in higher occupancy levels, longer lease terms, higher rental income, higher returns, and greater long-term asset value.

As of June 30, 2020:

•Investment-grade or publicly traded large cap tenants represented 51% of our total annual rental revenue;

•Approximately 94% of our leases (on an RSF basis) contained effective annual rent escalations that were either fixed (generally ranging from approximately 3.0% to 3.5%) or indexed based on a consumer price index or other index;

•Approximately 93% of our leases (on an RSF basis) were triple net leases, which require tenants to pay substantially all real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, repairs and maintenance, common area expenses, and other operating expenses (including increases thereto) in addition to base rent; and

•Approximately 92% of our leases (on an RSF basis) provided for the recapture of capital expenditures (such as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems maintenance and/or replacement, roof replacement, and parking lot resurfacing) that we believe would typically be borne by the landlord in traditional office leases.

Our primary business objective is to maximize stockholder value by providing our stockholders with the greatest possible total return and long-term asset value based on a multifaceted platform of internal and external growth. A key element of our strategy is our unique focus on Class A properties clustered in urban campuses. These key urban campus locations are characterized by high barriers to entry for new landlords, high barriers to exit for tenants, and a limited supply of available space. They generally represent highly desirable locations for tenancy by life science, technology, and agtech entities because of their close proximity to concentrations of specialized skills, knowledge, institutions, and related businesses. Our strategy also includes drawing upon our deep and broad real estate, life science, technology, and agtech relationships in order to identify and attract new and leading tenants and to source additional value-creation real estate.

Guidance for unique and opportunistic value-creation acquisitions and construction

•Our initial 2020 guidance issued on December 3, 2019, included guidance midpoint for our 2020 construction spending and acquisitions of $1.6 billion and $950 million, respectively, and reflected a strong outlook for 2020, including continued strong demand for our value-creation development and redevelopment projects.

•Our guidance issued on April 27, 2020, reduced our 2020 forecasted construction spend, acquisitions, real estate dispositions and partial interest sales, and issuance of common equity. These reductions were deemed necessary while we monitored the impact of COVID-19 on many areas of our business, including the overall macro and capital market environments.

•Our guidance issued on July 27, 2020, was updated to address the continuing tenant demand for our development and redevelopment pipeline in part due to COVID-19 requirements, as well as existing and anticipated attractive acquisition opportunities in our markets, which will be partially funded through forecasted real estate dispositions and partial interest sales. Key updates to our sources and uses include:

•Increased midpoint for our 2020 construction spending guidance range from $960.0 million to $1.35 billion.

•An additional $900 million to $1.3 billion of real estate acquisitions in the second half of 2020, including acquisitions completed in July 2020.

•Increased midpoint of our real estate dispositions and partial interest sales from $50.0 million to $1.25 billion, which is expected to fund a portion of the increase in construction spending and acquisitions in addition to providing significant capital for growth over the next two to three quarters.

•See “Key capital events” below for additional details on our July 2020 forward equity offering.

•Refer to “Projected results” and “Capital resources” within this Item 2 for detailed assumptions for our updated 2020 guidance.

2020 recipient of the Nareit Gold Investor CARE (Communications and Reporting Excellence) Award in the Large Cap Equity REIT category as the best-in-class REIT that delivers transparent, quality, and efficient communications and reporting to the investment community; our fifth Nareit Gold Investor CARE Award over the last six years, and our third consecutive Gold Award.

Continued strong net operating income and internal growth

•Total revenues:

•$437.0 million, up 16.9%, for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $373.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019.

•$876.9 million, up 19.7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $732.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

•Net operating income (cash basis) of $1.1 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2020 annualized, increased by $165.0 million, or 17.6%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2019 annualized.

•94% of our leases contain contractual annual rent escalations approximating 3.0%.

•Same property net operating income growth:

•1.6% and 4.5% (cash basis) for the six months ended June 30, 2020, over the six months ended June 30, 2019.

•0.6% and 2.5% (cash basis) for the three months ended June 30, 2020, over the three months ended June 30, 2019.

•Includes the effect of temporary reduction in same property occupancy of 80 basis points related to downtime in connection with leases aggregating 152,045 RSF, with 63% already leased for delivery in the third quarter of 2020 at significantly higher rental rates. Excluding the impact of the temporary vacancies, the same property net operating income growth for the three months ended June 30, 2020, would have been 1.6% and 4.2% (cash basis), respectively. We expect occupancy and other contractual rental increases in the second half of 2020 will increase same property NOI and same property NOI (cash basis) to within our guidance range for the year ending December 31, 2020.

•Minimal remaining 2020 contractual lease expirations, aggregating 2.3% of annual rental revenue.

Highly leased value-creation pipeline, including COVID-19-focused R&D space

•Current projects aggregating 3.3 million RSF, including COVID-19-focused R&D spaces, are highly leased at 61% and will generate significant revenues and cash flows.

•As of July 27, 2020, construction activities were in process at all of our active value-creation projects.

•Significant pre-leasing at two new value-creation projects in our Sorrento Mesa submarket:

•Near-term development project at SD Tech by Alexandria, aggregating 176,428 RSF, is 59% pre-leased; and

•Active redevelopment project at 9877 Waples Street, a recently acquired property aggregating 63,774 RSF, is 100% pre-leased.

•Annual net operating income (cash basis), including our share of unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, is expected to increase $29 million upon the burn-off of initial free rent on recently delivered projects.

Key capital events

•In April 2020, we closed an additional unsecured senior line of credit with $750.0 million of available commitments. The new unsecured senior line of credit matures on April 14, 2022, and bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.05%. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the outstanding commitments and any outstanding borrowings from the $750 million unsecured senior line of credit will be reduced by 100% of net cash proceeds from certain new debt transactions and 50% of net cash proceeds from new equity offerings as defined in the agreement, which includes any net proceeds from the settlement of our July 2020 forward equity sales agreements. Including our existing $2.2 billion unsecured senior line of credit, we have $2.95 billion in aggregate commitments under our unsecured senior lines of credit as of June 30, 2020.

•In 2020, we entered into forward equity sales agreements to sell an aggregate 13.8 million shares of our common stock (including the exercise of an underwriters’ option). As of the date of this report, our outstanding forward equity agreements are as follows:

Leader in corporate responsibility: philanthropic activities and partnerships to positively impact our communities

At the vanguard of fighting COVID-19 by aiding communities adversely affected by the global pandemic

•Alexandria has sourced and donated over 54,000 pieces of much-needed personal protective equipment to 12 hospitals and other entities in need in New York City, Boston, Seattle, San Diego, Dayton, and Los Angeles for use by medical professionals working on the front lines of the COVID-19 response. Through strategic philanthropic giving and the Company’s matching gift programs, Alexandria donated, in aggregate, over $700,000 to several highly impactful national and regional organizations performing important work to support a myriad of efforts in communities affected by this global public health emergency, including the following:

•Feeding America – COVID-19 Response Fund, the fund from the nation’s largest hunger-relief organization with a network of 200 member food banks, is supporting the food banks that help people feed their families during the school closures, job disruptions, and health risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

•First Responders Children’s Foundation COVID-19 Emergency Response Fund is providing support to the families of first responders on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic, who are enduring financial hardship due to the outbreak.

•Robin Hood’s COVID-19 Relief Fund, from New York City’s largest poverty-fighting organization, is providing immediate, short-term grants to support non-profits that are on the front lines in the fight against COVID-19 so they can move swiftly to serve affected communities.

•Relief Opportunities for All Restaurants (ROAR) is providing financial relief directly to employees of restaurants who have lost their jobs as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

•City of Cambridge Disaster Fund for COVID-19 is providing emergency assistance in partnership with non-profit organizations to individuals and families in Cambridge experiencing extreme financial hardship caused by the COVID-19 crisis.

•Project Angel Food is committed to providing uninterrupted deliveries of nutritious medically tailored meals to people impacted by serious illness in the Los Angeles area throughout the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Driving educational opportunity and providing resources to underserved communities

•We regard education as one of the most fundamental foundations to achieving a safe, healthy, and good life. As a result, we have forged deep partnerships with inspiring community organizations focused on providing educational resources to underserved communities in a multitude of ways. Working closely with these organizations, we have helped open the doors of opportunity for countless students.

•During 2Q20, we announced Alexandria’s 2020 scholarship recipients, 11 high-achieving public school students in San Francisco and Maryland who will each receive $5,000 annually to attend either a two- or four-year program at a college/university of their choice to study one of the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields.

•As both a founding and sustaining donor, we have been passionate longtime supporters of Computer Science for All (CS4ALL) — a 10-year initiative launched in 2015 to provide high-quality computer science education for New York City’s 1.1 million public school students. Alexandria volunteers have worked alongside NYC high school students to rebuild computers donated by Alexandria for use in the CS4ALL program; served as judges for CS4ALL’s Hack League, a citywide coding competition involving students from 62 middle and high schools across New York City; participated in multiple Computer Science Education Weeks, a global effort encouraging computer science education; and hosted CS4ALL students at the Alexandria Center^® for Life Science – NYC for them to learn about the vast array of jobs that computer science touches and the career paths available to them. Our ongoing partnership with CS4ALL has helped ensure that NYC’s public school students have the skills they need to achieve success in higher education, the 21st-century job market, and beyond.

•Through our very hands-on work with, and mission-critical funding support for, the Emily Krzyzewski Center in Durham, North Carolina, we are helping propel academically focused, low-income K–12 students and graduates toward success in college. Emily K programs begin in elementary and middle school to build and accelerate academic skills that lay the foundation for future college success. As students move on to high school, they receive holistic support in the areas of college planning, personal management and leadership, academic skills development, and career exploration, leading to graduating seniors who are scholarship eligible and college ready. After 12 years, the success rate for admittance to a four-year college is 100%.

•Robin Hood, New York City’s largest poverty fighting organization, has an intense focus on education and works to ensure that low-income students at risk of not finishing high school graduate ready to succeed in college and career. Robin Hood has provided over $29 million in funding to impactful tutoring and mentorship programs, college prep programs, mental health and counseling services, and teacher training initiatives and has helped more than 55,000 students across the city last year alone. We have very actively worked with CEO Wes Moore, as well as offered significant financial support, to make a huge impact in the underserved communities of New York City through highly important programs that have measurable outcomes.

•Alexandria has worked closely with Breakthrough Greater Boston (BTGB) over many years to prepare low-income students for success in college and train the next generation of urban teachers. Through six years of intensive, tuition-free, out-of-school-time programming, BTGB changes students’ academic trajectories and supports them along the path to college. Students gain a passion for learning and the perseverance and tools needed to succeed in college and beyond. BTGB also works to build the next generation of teachers through competitive recruitment, research-based training, and coaching from master teachers. Teaching Fellows gain intensive in-classroom experience, expert training, and 1:1 coaching.

Pioneering a uniquely comprehensive care model to tackle opioid addiction

•Against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. opioid epidemic remains one of the most devastating public health issues of our time. With many people confronting additional stresses such as isolation, unemployment, anxiety, and loss, monthly drug overdose deaths, which decreased in 2018 for the first time in 25 years, have skyrocketed to record numbers during the pandemic, up 42% in May 2020 relative to May 2019. This alarming spike in drug overdoses highlights the urgent unmet need for evidence-based holistic treatment systems for addiction.

•As a key component of Alexandria’s mission to advance human health, we partnered with Verily, an Alphabet company, to pioneer a comprehensive care model for the full and sustained recovery of people suffering from opioid addiction. The 59,000 RSF campus, situated on 4.3 acres in Dayton, Ohio, includes dedicated facilities and services for treatment, residential housing, group therapy, family reunification, fitness, workforce development programs, job placement, and community transition. Alexandria has led the design and development of the campus, which opened to patients in the fall of 2019. In July 2020, we completed OneFifteen Living, the campus's three-story residential facility designed to serve as a safe place for individuals suffering from opioid addiction to live while accessing on-campus treatment services.

•As overdose deaths in 1H20 are up 34% compared to 1H19 in Montgomery County, Ohio, where our state-of-the-art OneFifteen campus is located, OneFifteen's doors are open to those ready to make a change and it has also successfully ramped up telehealth services to ensure those needing its addiction services do not experience a gap in care during this critical time. It is our sincerest hope that OneFifteen will not only provide hope for the Dayton community, but that is also serves as a blueprint for rest of the country.

Industry and ESG leadership

•In June 2020, our executive chairman and founder, Joel S. Marcus, had the honor of serving as the keynote speaker for a special fireside chat at the virtual BIO Health Caucus hosted by the Association of University Research Parks, an organization dedicated to guiding leaders to cultivate communities of innovation at global anchor institutions. The virtual fireside, titled “Three Decades of Building Bio Health Facilities and Companies,” covered a broad array of topics that provided a comprehensive view of our essential business, our dynamic cluster locations, and our critical role at the vanguard of the life science ecosystem fighting COVID-19.

•In June 2020, we released our 2019 Corporate Responsibility Report, which reinforces Alexandria’s longstanding environmental, social, and governance commitment, strong progress toward our 2025 environmental impact goals, and critical role at the vanguard of the life science ecosystem advancing solutions for COVID-19.

•In June 2020, we announced that Alexandria LaunchLabs^® – AgTech awarded its inaugural $100,000 AgTech Innovation Prize to TerMir Inc., an early-stage agtech company aiming to address key, unresolved agricultural, environmental, and human health challenges.

Alexandria and its innovative tenants are at the vanguard of the life science ecosystem advancing solutions for COVID-19

Safe and effective vaccines and therapies, in addition to widespread testing, are desperately needed to combat the global COVID-19 pandemic. By maintaining essential business operations across our campuses, Alexandria has enabled several of our life science tenants to continue mission-critical COVID-19-related research and development. The heroic work being done by so many of our tenants and campus community members to help test for, treat, and prevent COVID-19, as well as provide medical supplies and protective equipment to neighboring hospitals, is profound and inspiring. We are currently tracking over 80 tenants across our cluster markets who are advancing solutions for COVID-19.

Developing preventative vaccines

•A prophylactic vaccine should help bring about the effective end of the global COVID-19 pandemic. As such, researchers around the world are developing over 165 vaccines against the coronavirus, with at least 27 vaccine candidates in human trials.

•In an effort to expedite the development, manufacturing, and distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, the U.S. government has allocated $10 billion to its Operation Warp Speed (OWS) initiative, calling for unprecedented public-private collaboration. OWS has awarded grants to a handful of company partners to date, including tenants AstraZeneca plc, Emergent BioSolutions Inc, Johnson & Johnson, Inc., Moderna, Inc., Novavax, Inc., and Pfizer Inc. Clinical trial data will continue to be reported by each company over the coming months, and the first COVID-19 vaccine could receive emergency use authorization from the FDA by year-end 2020 or early 2021.

•Other tenants, including GlaxoSmithKline, GreenLight Biosciences, Inc., Medicago Inc., Merck & Co., and Sanofi, are similarly leveraging their vaccine development expertise and technology platforms to bring vaccine candidates into clinical trials, with the goal of expediting the delivery of a safe and effective vaccine to the public within the next 12 months.

Advancing new and repurposed therapies

•Over 350 experimental drug treatments are being studied in over 500 clinical trials around the world in addition to more than 250 therapeutic candidates in preclinical development. A substantial number of these programs are sponsored by our tenants, including the following notable efforts:

•Eli Lilly and Company, in collaboration with AbCellera, began its Phase I study ahead of schedule to test a novel antibody targeted against the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the first COVID-19-specific antibody program of its kind to enter the clinic.

•Gilead Sciences, Inc.’s remdesivir is in late-stage studies for the treatment of moderate and severe COVID-19 patients. Based on positive safety and efficacy data, the FDA granted emergency use authorization for remdesivir in the treatment of hospitalized patients with severe COVID-19.

•Adaptive Biotechnologies Corporation and Amgen are working together to identify and develop therapeutic antibodies from the blood of patients who are actively fighting or have recently recovered from COVID-19.

•Vir Biotechnology, Inc. has announced unique partnerships with Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and GlaxoSmithKline to utilize its neutralizing antibody platform to identify novel drug candidates that could be used as therapeutic or preventative COVID-19 treatments.

•Many other Alexandria tenants, including AbbVie Inc., Atreca Inc., Corvus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Enanta Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Novartis AG, and Pfizer Inc., are similarly endeavoring to develop novel therapies and repurpose existing and investigational drugs to provide near-term treatments for moderate and severe COVID-19 patients and those at highest risk.

Improving testing quality and capacity

•Color Genomics, Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings, Quest Diagnostics, Roche, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., Verily Life Sciences, and others are working to improve testing quality, capacity, and turnaround time to more effectively determine who has an active COVID-19 infection, who has been exposed to the virus, and who has developed immunity against it. The increased availability of widespread COVID-19 testing is critical for curtailing the pandemic and facilitating a safer reopening for workplaces, communities, and society overall.

(2)The decrease in occupancy for the New York City market from March 31, 2020, was primarily related to one lease for 19,647 RSF that ended during the three months ended June 30, 2020. This space has been 100% re-leased to a new tenant with expected delivery by the end of 2020.

(3)The decrease in occupancy for the Seattle market from March 31, 2020, was related to recently acquired properties containing 31,518 RSF of vacant space.

Refer to the “Non-GAAP measures and definitions” section within this Item 2 for additional information.

Investments in real estate

A key component of our business model is our disciplined allocation of capital to the development and redevelopment of new Class A properties located in collaborative life science, technology, and agtech campuses in AAA urban innovation clusters. These projects are focused on providing high-quality, generic, and reusable spaces that meet the real estate requirements of, and are reusable by, a wide range of tenants. Upon completion, each value-creation project is expected to generate a significant increase in rental income, net operating income, and cash flows. Our development and redevelopment projects are generally in locations that are highly desirable to high-quality entities, which we believe results in higher occupancy levels, longer lease terms, higher rental income, higher returns, and greater long-term asset value. Our pre-construction activities are undertaken in order to get the property ready for its intended use and include entitlements, permitting, design, site work, and other activities preceding commencement of construction of aboveground building improvements.

Our initial 2020 guidance issued on December 3, 2019, for our 2020 construction spending guidance included a range from $1.55 billion to $1.65 billion and reflected a strong outlook for 2020 and continued strong demand for our value-creation development and redevelopment projects. Beginning in March 2020 and into early April 2020, due to the moratoriums on construction in some cities and states where our ground-up development projects are located, construction in some of our projects had to pause. In addition, due to the initial dislocation of capital and other markets caused by COVID-19 in March and early April, we reduced the midpoint of our 2020 forecasted construction spending from $1.6 billion to $960.0 million to focus primarily on projects that were partially or fully pre-leased on our guidance issued on April 27, 2020. These reductions were deemed necessary while we monitored the impact of COVID-19 on many areas of our business, including the overall macro and capital market environments. By early May 2020, however, the moratoriums on construction were lifted or some of our ground-up development projects had received essential healthcare operations designation that allowed construction to resume. Since April 27, 2020, we have increased the midpoint of our 2020 construction spending guidance midpoint from $960.0 million to $1.35 billion to address the continuing tenant demand for our development and redevelopment pipeline. The increase is primarily related to:

•Near-term development project at SD Tech by Alexandria, aggregating 176,428 RSF, is 59% pre-leased;

•Active redevelopment project at 9877 Waples Street, a recently acquired property aggregating 63,774 RSF, is 100% pre-leased; and

•Development and redevelopment projects under construction that were 61% pre-leased as of June 30, 2020.

As of the date of this report, construction activities were in process at all of our active construction projects with no further delays due to the temporary mandates issued by state or local ordinances arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. Construction workers continue to observe social distancing and follow rules that restrict gatherings of large groups of people in close proximity, as well as adhere to other appropriate measures that may slow the pace of construction.

(1)We have been negotiating a long-term ground lease for the future site of a new building approximating 550,000 RSF. Beginning March 2020, due to the impacts of COVID-19 on New York City, the City has been using the site as a temporary morgue. The use of this site by the City has resulted in delays to deadlines for both ground lease negotiations and ultimately the timing to commence and complete key milestone construction dates. (2)Includes 349,947 RSF in operation with an opportunity either to convert the existing office space into office/laboratory space through future redevelopment or to expand the building by an additional 230,000 RSF through ground-up development. The building is currently occupied by Pfizer Inc. with a remaining lease term of approximately five years. (3)Refer to the “Consolidated and unconsolidated real estate joint ventures” section within this Item 2 for additional information on our ownership interest. (4)Represents total square footage upon completion of development of a new Class A property. Square footage presented includes RSF of buildings currently in operation at properties that also have inherent future development opportunities. We intend to demolish the existing property upon expiration of the existing in-place leases and commencement of future construction. Refer to the definition of “Investments in real estate – value-creation square footage currently in rental properties” in the “Non-GAAP measures and definitions” section within this Item 2 for additional information. (5)During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we pre-leased 59% of this project and expect to commence construction over the next six to eight months. (6)Includes our recently acquired project at 4555 Executive Drive and 9363 and 9393 Towne Centre Drive in our University Town Center submarket, which are currently under evaluation for development, subject to future market conditions.

Results of operations

We present a tabular comparison of items, whether gain or loss, that may facilitate a high-level understanding of our results and provide context for the disclosures included in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, and our subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. We believe such tabular presentation promotes a better understanding for investors of the corporate-level decisions made and activities performed that significantly affect comparison of our operating results from period to period. We also believe this tabular presentation will supplement for investors an understanding of our disclosures and real estate operating results. Gains or losses on sales of real estate and impairments of held for sale assets are related to corporate-level decisions to dispose of real estate. Gains or losses on early extinguishment of debt, gains or losses on early termination of interest rate hedge agreements, and preferred stock redemption charges are related to corporate-level financing decisions focused on our capital structure strategy. Significant realized and unrealized gains or losses on non-real estate investments and impairments of real estate and non-real estate investments are not related to the operating performance of our real estate assets as they result from strategic, corporate-level non-real estate investment decisions and external market conditions. Impairments of non-real estate investments are not related to the operating performance of our real estate as they represent the write-down of non-real estate investments when their fair values decline below their respective carrying values due to changes in general market or other conditions outside of our control. Significant items, whether a gain or loss, included in the tabular disclosure for current periods are described in further detail within this Item 2. Key items included in net income attributable to Alexandria’s common stockholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, were as follows:

(3)Amount includes $7.6 million impairment of our investment in a recently developed retail property held by our unconsolidated real estate joint venture. This impairment was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2020, and was classified in equity in earnings of unconsolidated real estate joint ventures within our consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Note 4 – “Consolidated and unconsolidated real estate joint ventures” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this report for additional detail.

Same properties

We supplement an evaluation of our results of operations with an evaluation of operating performance of certain of our properties, referred to as Same Properties. For more information on the determination of our Same Properties portfolio, refer to the definition of “Same property comparisons” in the “Non-GAAP measures and definitions” section within this Item 2. The following table presents information regarding our Same Properties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020:


	June 30, 2020
	Three Months Ended			Six Months Ended
Percentage change in net operating income over comparable period from prior year	0.6%	⁽¹⁾	1.6%
Percentage change in net operating income (cash basis) over comparable period from prior year	2.5%	⁽¹⁾	4.5%
Operating margin	73%		73%
Number of Same Properties	228		213
RSF	21,779,066		21,191,416
Occupancy – current-period average	96.3%		96.6%
Occupancy – same-period prior-year average	97.1%		97.1%

(1)Includes the effect of temporary reduction in same property occupancy of 80 basis points related to downtime in connection with leases aggregating 152,045 RSF, with 63% already leased for delivery in the third quarter of 2020 at significantly higher rental rates. Excluding the impact of the temporary vacancies, the same property net operating income growth for the three months ended June 30, 2020, would have been 1.6% and 4.2% (cash basis), respectively. We expect occupancy and other contractual rental increases in the second half of 2020 will increase same property NOI and same property NOI (cash basis) to within our guidance range for the year ending December 31, 2020.

Income from rentals

Total income from rentals for the three months ended June 30, 2020, increased by $64.2 million, or 17.3%, to $435.9 million, compared to $371.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019, as a result of increases in rental revenues and tenant recoveries, as discussed below.

Rental revenues

Total rental revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2020, increased by $51.9 million, or 17.9%, to $341.6 million, compared to $289.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to an increase in rental revenues from our Non-Same Properties aggregating $52.5 million primarily related to 455,903 RSF of development and redevelopment projects placed into service subsequent to April 1, 2019, and 42 operating properties aggregating 3.8 million RSF acquired subsequent to April 1, 2019.

Rental revenues from our Same Properties for the three months ended June 30, 2020, decreased by $0.6 million, or 0.2%, to $273.0 million, compared to $273.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to a temporary reduction in same property occupancy of 80 basis points related to downtime in connection with leases that will begin occupancy during the second half of 2020 at significantly higher rental rates. The decrease in rental revenues from Same Properties was also due to the effect of reduced revenues from our transient parking, retail tenants, and amenities, some of which were temporarily closed as a result of shelter-in-place orders during the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was partially offset by rental rate increases on lease renewals and re-leasing of space since April 1, 2019.

Tenant recoveries

Tenant recoveries for the three months ended June 30, 2020, increased by $12.3 million, or 15.0%, to $94.3 million, compared to $82.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. This increase was primarily due to an increase from our Non-Same Properties as described above.

Same Properties’ tenant recoveries for the three months ended June 30, 2020, increased by $2.0 million, or 2.5%, primarily due to an increase in recoverable property tax expense resulting from higher assessed values of our properties during the three months ended June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, 93% of our leases (on an RSF basis) were triple net leases, which require tenants to pay substantially all real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, repairs and maintenance, common area expenses, and other operating expenses (including increases thereto) in addition to base rent.

Other income

Other income for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, was $1.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively, primarily consisting of construction management fees and interest income earned during each respective period.

Rental operations

Total rental operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2020, increased by $18.2 million, or 17.2%, to $123.9 million, compared to $105.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Approximately $18.4 million of the increase was due to an increase in rental operating expenses from our Non-Same Properties primarily related to development and redevelopment projects placed into service and acquired properties as discussed above under “Income from rentals.”

Same Properties’ rental operating expenses decreased by $0.1 million, or 0.1%, to $94.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $94.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to reduced operating expenses from retail tenants and amenities, some of which were temporarily closed as a result of COVID-19 shelter-in-place orders during the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in expenses related to COVID-19 was partially offset by an increase in recoverable property tax expense resulting from higher assessed values of our properties during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2020, increased by $5.3 million, or 20.2%, to $31.8 million, compared to $26.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to continued growth in the depth and breadth of our operations in multiple markets, including development and redevelopment projects placed into service and properties acquired subsequent to April 1, 2019, as discussed under Income from rentals” above. As a percentage of net operating income, our general and administrative expenses for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, were 10.3% and 9.5%, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020, increased by $33.6 million, or 25.0%, to $168.0 million, compared to $134.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to additional depreciation from 455,903 RSF of development and redevelopment projects placed into service subsequent to April 1, 2019, and 42 operating properties aggregating 3.8 million RSF acquired subsequent to April 1, 2019.

Impairment charges

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized impairment charges aggregating $13.2 million, which primarily consisted of a $10 million write-off of the pre-acquisition deposit for a previously pending acquisition of an operating tech office property for which our revised economic projections declined from our initial underwriting. We recognized this impairment charge in April 2020, concurrently with the submission of our notice to terminate the transaction.

Investment income

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized investment income aggregating $184.7 million, which included $13.0 million of realized gains and $171.7 million of unrealized gains. Realized gains consisted of $17.7 million of realized gains, partially offset by an impairment charge of $4.7 million primarily related to two investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV. Unrealized gains of $171.7 million primarily consisted of increases in fair values of our investments in publicly traded companies during the three months ended June 30, 2020. For more information about our investments, refer to Note 7 – “Investments” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this report. For our impairments accounting policy, refer to the “Investments” section of Note 2 – “Summary of significant accounting policies” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this report.

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized investment income aggregating $21.5 million, which included $10.4 million of realized gains and $11.1 million of unrealized gains.

Income from rentals

Total income from rentals for the six months ended June 30, 2020, increased by $147.1 million, or 20.3%, to $873.5 million, compared to $726.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, as a result of increases in rental revenues and tenant recoveries, as discussed below.

Rental revenues

Total rental revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2020, increased by $115.3 million, or 20.4%, to $679.5 million, compared to $564.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to an increase in rental revenues from our Non-Same Properties aggregating $108.9 million primarily related to 926,892 RSF of development and redevelopment projects placed into service subsequent to January 1, 2019, and 53 operating properties aggregating 4.2 million RSF acquired subsequent to January 1, 2019. The increase was partially offset by the effect of the reduction in rental revenues from our transient parking, retail tenants, and amenities, some of which were temporarily closed as a result of shelter-in-place orders.

Rental revenues from our Same Properties for the six months ended June 30, 2020, increased by $6.4 million, or 1.2%, to $529.1 million, compared to $522.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to significant rental rate increases on lease renewals and re-leasing of space since January 1, 2019. The increase was partially offset by temporary reduction in Same Property occupancy of 50 basis points related to downtime in connection with leases that will begin occupancy during the second half of 2020 at significantly higher rental rates. The increase was also partially offset by the effect of reduced revenues generated from our transient parking, retail tenants, and amenities, some of which were temporarily closed due to shelter-in-place orders.

The increase in total rental revenues was partially offset by the $5.1 million reduction to rental revenues recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2020, related to the specific write-off aggregating $1.6 million and a general allowance aggregating $3.5 million related to deferred rent balances of tenants that are or may potentially be impacted by uncertainties surrounding COVID-19.

Tenant recoveries

Tenant recoveries for the six months ended June 30, 2020, increased by $31.8 million, or 19.6%, to $194.0 million, compared to $162.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. This increase is consistent with the increase in our rental operating expenses of $45.8 million, or 22.1%, as discussed under “Rental operations” below. Same Properties’ tenant recoveries for the six months ended June 30, 2020, increased by $8.6 million, or 5.6%, primarily due to the increase in recoverable operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as discussed under “Rental operations” below. As of June 30, 2020, 93% of our leases (on an RSF basis) were triple net leases, which require tenants to pay substantially all real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, common area expenses, and other operating expenses (including increases thereto) in addition to base rent.

Other income

Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was, $3.4 million and $6.3 million, respectively, primarily consisting of construction management fees and interest income earned during each respective period. The decrease is due primarily to lower construction management fees recognized due to the completion of certain projects.

Rental operations

Total rental operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020, increased by $45.8 million, or 22.1%, to $253.0 million, compared to $207.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Approximately $38.7 million of the increase was due to an increase in rental operating expenses from our Non-Same Properties primarily related to 926,892 RSF of development and redevelopment projects placed into service subsequent to January 1, 2019, and 53 operating properties aggregating 4.2 million RSF acquired subsequent to January 1, 2019.

Same Properties’ rental operating expenses increased by $7.1 million, or 3.9%, to $188.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the $181.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Approximately $5.8 million of the increase was due to an increase in property tax expense resulting from higher assessed values of our properties. The remaining $1.3 million was mainly a result of the higher repairs and maintenance expenses, contract services, payroll, and property insurance costs, which were partially offset by reduced operating expenses related to retail tenants, some of which were temporarily closed due to COVID-19 shelter-in-place orders during the three months ended June 30, 2020.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2020, increased by $12.6 million, or 24.7%, to $63.7 million, compared to $51.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to continued growth in the depth and breadth of our operations in multiple markets, including development and redevelopment projects placed into service and properties acquired subsequent to January 1, 2019, as discussed under “Income from rentals” above. As a percentage of net operating income, our general and administrative expenses for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, were 10.3% and 9.5%, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020, increased by $75.0 million, or 27.9%, to $343.5 million, compared to $268.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily due to additional depreciation from 926,892 RSF of development and redevelopment projects placed into service subsequent to January 1, 2019, and 53 operating properties aggregating 4.2 million RSF acquired subsequent to January 1, 2019.

Impairment charges

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized impairment charges aggregating $15.2 million, which primarily consisted of a $10 million write-off of the pre-acquisition deposit for a previously pending acquisition of an operating tech office property for which our revised economic projections declined from our initial underwriting. We recognized this impairment charge in April 2020, concurrently with the submission of our notice to terminate the transaction.

Investment income

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized investment income aggregating $162.8 million, which included $8.3 million of realized gains and $154.5 million of unrealized gains. Realized gains consisted of $32.8 million of realized gains, partially offset by an impairment charge of $24.5 million primarily related to four investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV. Unrealized gains of $154.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020, primarily consisted of increases in fair values of our investments in publicly traded companies. For more information about our investments, refer to Note 7 – “Investments” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this report. For our impairments accounting policy, refer to the “Investments” section of Note 2 – “Summary of significant accounting policies” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this report.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized investment income aggregating $105.1 million, which included $21.8 million of realized gains and $83.3 million of unrealized gains.

Loss on early extinguishment of debt

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we repaid early one secured note payable aggregating $106.7 million, which was originally due in 2020 and bore interest at 7.75%, and recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $7.1 million, including the write-off of unamortized loan fees. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2019, we repaid early the remaining $193.1 million balance of our secured construction loan related to 50/60 Binney Street and recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $269 thousand.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated real estate joint ventures

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized equity in earnings of unconsolidated real estate joint ventures of $777 thousand. This balance consisted of earnings from our unconsolidated real estate joint ventures of approximately $8.4 million, partially offset by the impairment charge discussed below.

In March 2020, the impact of COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting State of Maryland’s shelter-in-place order led to the closure of a retail center owned by one of our unconsolidated joint ventures. We evaluated the recoverability of our investment in this joint venture and recognized a $7.6 million impairment charge to lower the carrying amount of our investment balance, which primarily consisted of real estate, to its estimated fair value less costs to sell. This impairment charge was classified in equity in earnings of unconsolidated real estate joint ventures within our consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Refer to Note 4 – “Consolidated and unconsolidated real estate joint ventures” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this report for additional information.

Consolidated and unconsolidated real estate joint ventures

We present components of balance sheet and operating results information for the noncontrolling interest share of our consolidated real estate joint ventures and for our share of investments in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures to help investors estimate balance sheet and operating results information related to our partially owned entities. These amounts are estimated by computing, for each joint venture that we consolidate in our financial statements, the noncontrolling interest percentage of each financial item to arrive at the cumulative noncontrolling interest share of each component presented. In addition, for our real estate joint ventures that we do not control and do not consolidate, we apply our economic ownership percentage to the unconsolidated real estate joint ventures to arrive at our proportionate share of each component presented. Refer to Note 4 – “Consolidated and unconsolidated real estate joint ventures” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this report for further discussion.

Investments

We present our equity investments at fair value whenever fair value or NAV is readily available. Adjustments for our limited partnership investments represent changes in reported NAV as a practical expedient to estimate fair value. For investments without readily available fair values, we adjust the carrying amount whenever such investments have an observable price change, and further adjustments are not made until another price change, if any, is observed. Refer to Note 7 – “Investments” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this report for additional information.

Pursuant to the terms of the $750 million unsecured senior line of credit agreement, the outstanding commitments will be reduced in the future by 50% of the net proceeds from any equity offerings entered into subsequent to the execution of this line of credit in April 2020. As of the date of this report, none of our forward equity sales agreements entered into in July 2020 have been settled.

(3)Total outstanding availability on our unsecured senior lines of credit reduced by the expected net proceeds from the future settlement of 6.9 million shares outstanding under our July 2020 forward equity sales agreements.

We expect to meet certain long-term liquidity requirements, such as requirements for development, redevelopment, other construction projects, capital improvements, tenant improvements, property acquisitions, leasing costs, non-revenue-enhancing capital expenditures, scheduled debt maturities, distributions to noncontrolling interests, and payment of dividends through net cash provided by operating activities, periodic asset sales, strategic real estate joint venture capital, and long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness, including borrowings under our unsecured senior lines of credit, issuance under our commercial paper program, and issuance of additional debt and/or equity securities.

We expect to continue meeting our short-term liquidity and capital requirements, as further detailed in this section, generally through our working capital and net cash provided by operating activities. We believe that the net cash provided by operating activities will continue to be sufficient to enable us to make the distributions necessary to continue qualifying as a REIT.

Over the next several years, our balance sheet, capital structure, and liquidity objectives are as follows:

•Retain positive cash flows from operating activities after payment of dividends and distributions to noncontrolling interests for investment in development and redevelopment projects and/or acquisitions;

•Improve credit profile and relative long-term cost of capital;

•Maintain diverse sources of capital, including sources from net cash provided by operating activities, unsecured debt, secured debt, selective real estate asset sales, partial interest sales, non-real estate investment sales, preferred stock, and common stock;

•Maintain commitment to long-term capital to fund growth;

•Maintain prudent laddering of debt maturities;

•Maintain solid credit metrics;

•Maintain significant balance sheet liquidity;

•Mitigate variable-rate debt exposure through the reduction of short-term and medium-term variable-rate bank debt;

•Maintain a large unencumbered asset pool to provide financial flexibility;

•Fund common stock dividends and distributions to noncontrolling interests from net cash provided by operating activities;

•Manage a disciplined level of value-creation projects as a percentage of our gross investments in real estate; and

•Maintain high levels of pre-leasing and percentage leased in value-creation projects.

In addition, refer to “Item 1A. Risk factors” within “Part II – Other information” of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for a discussion about risks that COVID-19 directly or indirectly may pose to our business.

Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash

As of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, we had $241.5 million and $242.7 million, respectively, of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash. We expect existing cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash, cash flows from operating activities, proceeds from real estate asset sales and partial interest sales, non-real estate investment sales, borrowings under our unsecured senior lines of credit, issuances under our commercial paper program, issuances of unsecured notes payable, and issuances of common stock to continue to be sufficient to fund our operating activities and cash commitments for investing and financing activities, such as regular quarterly dividends, distributions to noncontrolling interests, scheduled debt repayments, acquisitions, and certain capital expenditures, including expenditures related to construction activities.

Cash flows

We report and analyze our cash flows based on operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities. The following table summarizes changes in our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands):


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2020		2019		Change
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	393,657	$	308,340	$	85,317
Net cash used in investing activities	$	(1,397,060)	$	(1,452,237)	$	55,177
Net cash provided by financing activities	$	1,002,969	$	1,109,218	$	(106,249)

Operating activities

Cash flows provided by operating activities are primarily dependent upon the occupancy level of our asset base, the rental rates of our leases, the collectibility of rent and recovery of operating expenses from our tenants, the timing of completion of development and redevelopment projects, and the timing of acquisitions and dispositions of operating properties. Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020, increased to $393.7 million, compared to $308.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. This increase was primarily attributable to (i) cash flows generated from our highly leased development and redevelopment projects recently placed into service, (ii) income-producing acquisitions since January 1, 2019, and (iii) increases in rental rates on lease renewals and re-leasing of space since January 1, 2019.

Investing activities

Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, consisted of the following (in thousands):


	Six Months Ended June 30,						Increase (Decrease)

Net cash used in investing activities	$	1,397,060	$	1,452,237	$	(55,177)

The decrease in net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020, was primarily due to a decreased use of cash for purchases of real estate, investments in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, additions to non-real estate investments, and an increased source of cash from higher return of capital from unconsolidated real estate joint ventures. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was partially offset by an increased use of cash for property acquisitions. Refer to Note 3 – “Investments in real estate” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this report for further information.

Financing activities

Cash flows provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, consisted of the following (in thousands):

Capital resources

We expect that our principal liquidity needs for the year ending December 31, 2020, will be satisfied by the following multiple sources of capital, as shown in the table below. There can be no assurance that our sources and uses of capital will not be materially higher or lower than these expectations.

Our initial 2020 guidance issued on December 3, 2019, included ranges for 2020 construction spending and acquisitions of $1.55 billion to $1.65 billion and $900 million to $1.0 billion, respectively, and reflected a strong outlook for 2020, including continued strong demand for our value-creation development and redevelopment projects. Our guidance issued on April 27, 2020 reduced our 2020 forecasted construction spending, acquisitions, real estate dispositions and partial interest sales, and issuance of common equity. These reductions were deemed necessary while we monitored the impact of COVID-19 on many areas of our business, including the overall macro and capital market environments. The following table provides key updates to our 2020 guidance issued on February 3, 2020 and April 27, 2020, based on our current view of existing market conditions and assumptions for the year ending December 31, 2020, and reflects increases in uses of capital to address the continuing tenant demand for our development and redevelopment pipeline and existing and anticipated attractive acquisition opportunities. Our updated 2020 construction spending guidance range increased since April 27, 2020, and is now closer to our initial forecast for 2020 disclosed in our guidance issued on February 3, 2020. Additionally, our initial guidance for 2020 anticipated meaningful acquisition opportunities and our updated 2020 acquisition guidance range continues to reflect opportunistic offerings in the market. The increase above our initial acquisition guidance range is expected to be funded through forecasted real estate dispositions and partial interest sales. Proceeds from forecasted sales are also expected to fund a portion of the increase in construction spending and to provide significant capital for growth over the next two to three quarters.

(1)In April 2020, we completed the sale of a partial interest in properties at 9808 and 9868 Scranton Road in our Sorrento Mesa submarket to the existing SD Tech by Alexandria consolidated real estate joint venture, of which we own 50%. We received proceeds of $51.1 million for the 50% interest in the properties that our joint venture partner acquired through the joint venture. Our previous guidance disclosures included a combined amount for real estate dispositions, partial interest sales, and common equity. Amounts presented have been split into two separate categories for (i) actual real estate dispositions and partial interest sales completed through July 27, 2020, and (ii) common equity.

(2)In January 2020 and July 2020, we entered into forward equity sales agreements aggregating $1.0 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively, to sell an aggregate of 6.9 million shares for each offering (13.8 million in aggregate) of our common stock (including the exercise of an underwriters’ option) at a public offering price of $155.00 per share and $160.50 per share, respectively, before underwriting discounts. In March 2020, we settled 3.4 million shares from our forward equity sales agreements and received proceeds of $500.0 million. As of the date of this report, 10.4 million shares of our common stock remain outstanding under forward equity sales agreements, for which we expect to receive proceeds of $1.6 billion, to be further adjusted as provided in the agreements, that will fund pending and recently completed acquisitions and the construction of our highly leased development projects. We expect to settle the remaining outstanding forward equity sales agreements in 2020.

(3)We may opportunistically seek to refinance additional near term maturities in 2020, subject to market conditions.

The key assumptions behind the sources and uses of capital in the table above include a favorable capital market environment, performance of our core operating properties, lease-up and delivery of current and future development and redevelopment projects, and leasing activity. Our expected sources and uses of capital are subject to a number of variables and uncertainties, including those discussed as “Forward-looking statements” under Part I; “Item 1A. Risk factors” and “Item 7. Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations” of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. We expect to update our forecast of sources and uses of capital on a quarterly basis.

Sources of capital

Net cash provided by operating activities after dividends

We expect to retain $185.0 million to $225.0 million of net cash flows from operating activities after payment of common stock dividends, and distributions to noncontrolling interests. For purposes of this calculation, changes in operating assets and liabilities are excluded as they represent timing differences. For the year ending December 31, 2020, we expect our recently delivered projects, our highly pre-leased value-creation projects expected to be completed, along with contributions from Same Properties and recently acquired properties, to contribute significant increases in income from rentals, net operating income, and cash flows. We anticipate significant contractual near-term growth in annual cash rents of $29 million related to the commencement of contractual rents on the projects recently placed into service that are near the end of their initial free rent period. Refer to the “Cash flows ” subsection of the “Liquidity” section within this Item 2 for a discussion of cash flows provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Debt

As of June 30, 2020, we have an outstanding balance of $440.0 million on our $2.2 billion unsecured senior line of credit. Our $2.2 billion unsecured senior line of credit bears an interest rate of LIBOR plus 0.825% and matures on January 28, 2024, which includes two six-month extension options that we control. As of June 30, 2020, we have no outstanding balance on our $750 million unsecured senior line of credit, which bears an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.050% and matures on April 14, 2022. In addition to the cost of borrowing, the $2.2 billion and $750 million unsecured senior lines of credit are subject to an annual facility fee of 0.15% and 0.20%, respectively, based on the aggregate commitments outstanding.

We use our unsecured senior lines of credit to fund working capital, construction activities, and, from time to time, acquisition of properties. Borrowings under the unsecured senior lines of credit bear interest at a “Eurocurrency Rate,” a “LIBOR Floating Rate,” or a “Base Rate” specified in each respective unsecured senior line of credit agreement plus, in any case, the Applicable Margin. The Eurocurrency Rate specified in the unsecured senior lines of credit agreements is, as applicable, the rate per annum equal to either (i) the LIBOR or a successor rate thereto as agreed to by the administrative agent and the Company for loans denominated in a LIBOR quoted currency (i.e., U.S. dollars, euro, sterling, or yen), (ii) the average annual yield rates applicable to Canadian dollar bankers’ acceptances for loans denominated in Canadian dollars, (iii) the Bank Bill Swap Reference Bid rate for loans denominated in Australian dollars, or (iv) the rate designated with respect to the applicable alternative currency for loans denominated in a non-LIBOR quoted currency (other than Canadian or Australian dollars). The LIBOR Floating Rate means, for any day, one month LIBOR, or a successor rate thereto as agreed to by the administrative agent and the Company for loans denominated in U.S. dollars. The Base Rate means, for any day, a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (i) the federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1.00%, (ii) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by the Administrative Agent as its “prime rate,” and (iii) the Eurocurrency Rate plus 1.00%. Our $2.2 billion unsecured senior line of credit contains a feature that allows lenders to competitively bid on the interest rate for borrowings under the facility. This may result in an interest rate that is below the stated rate.

Pursuant to the terms of the new line of credit agreement, the outstanding commitments and any outstanding borrowings from the $750 million unsecured senior line of credit will be reduced by 100% of net cash proceeds from certain new debt transactions and 50% of net cash proceeds from new equity offerings as defined in the agreement. Therefore, upon full or partial settlement of our forward equity sales agreements entered into in July 2020, described further under the “Common equity transactions” section of Note 13 – “Stockholders’ equity” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements, the outstanding commitments and any outstanding borrowings from the $750 million unsecured senior line of credit will be reduced by 50% of net proceeds received from the settlement of the aforementioned July 2020 agreements (January 2020 forward equity sales agreements are excluded). As of the date of this report, none of our forward equity sales agreements entered into in July 2020 have been settled.

We expect to fund a portion of our capital needs for the remainder of 2020 from the settlement of our outstanding forward equity sales agreements, from issuances under our commercial paper program discussed below, from borrowings under our $2.95 billion unsecured senior lines of credit, and from real estate dispositions and partial interest sales.

We established a commercial paper program with the ability to issue up to $1.0 billion of commercial paper notes generally with a maturity of 30 days or less and with a maximum maturity of 397 days from the date of issuance. Our commercial paper program is backed by our $2.2 billion unsecured senior line of credit, and at all times we expect to retain a minimum undrawn amount of borrowing capacity under our $2.2 billion unsecured senior line of credit equal to any outstanding balance on our commercial paper program. We use borrowings under the program to fund short-term capital needs. The notes issued under our commercial paper program are sold under customary terms in the commercial paper market. They are typically issued at a discount to par, representing a yield to maturity dictated by market conditions at the time of issuance. In the event we are unable to issue commercial paper notes or refinance outstanding commercial paper notes under terms equal to or more favorable than those under the $2.2 billion unsecured senior line of credit, we expect to borrow under the $2.2 billion unsecured senior line of credit at LIBOR plus 0.825%. The commercial paper notes sold during the three months ended June 30, 2020, were issued at a weighted-average yield to maturity of 0.79%. As of June 30, 2020, we had no outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper program.

Proactive management of transition away from LIBOR

LIBOR has been used extensively in the U.S. and globally as a reference rate for various commercial and financial contracts, including variable-rate debt and interest rate swap contracts. However, it is expected that LIBOR will no longer be used after 2021. To address the increased risk of LIBOR discontinuation, in the U.S. the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”) was established to help ensure the successful transition from LIBOR. In June 2017, the ARRC selected SOFR, a new index calculated by reference to short-term repurchase agreements backed by U.S. Treasury securities, as its preferred replacement for U.S. dollar LIBOR. We have been closely monitoring developments related to the transition away from LIBOR and have implemented numerous proactive measures to minimize the potential impact of the transition to the Company, specifically:

•We have proactively reduced outstanding LIBOR-based borrowings under our unsecured senior bank term loans and secured construction loans through repayments. From January 2017 through June 2020, we retired approximately $1.5 billion of such debt.

•During 2020, we increased the aggregate amount of our commercial paper program to $1.0 billion from $750.0 million. This program provides us with ability to issue commercial paper notes bearing interest at short-term fixed rates, generally with a maturity of 30 days or less and with a maximum maturity of 397 days from the date of issuance. Our commercial paper program is not subjected to LIBOR and is used for funding short-term working capital needs. As of June 30, 2020, we had no borrowings outstanding under our commercial paper program.

•We prudently manage outstanding borrowings under our $2.2 billion and $750 million unsecured senior lines of credit. As of June 30, 2020, we have not drawn any amounts on our $750 million unsecured senior line of credit. Excluding LIBOR-based debt held by one of our unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, borrowings under our $2.2 billion unsecured senior line of credit represented our only LIBOR-based debt outstanding as of June 30, 2020, which represented less than 6% of our total debt balance outstanding as of June 30, 2020.

•Our unsecured senior lines of credit contain fallback language generally consistent with the ARRC’s Amendment Approach, which provides a streamlined amendment approach for negotiating a benchmark replacement and introduces clarity with respect to the fallback trigger events and an adjustment to be applied to the successor rate.

•We continue to actively monitor developments by the ARRC and other governing bodies involved in LIBOR transition.

Refer to Note 10 – “Secured and unsecured senior debt” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this report and “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, for additional information about our management of risks related to the transition away from LIBOR.

Real estate dispositions and partial interest sales

We expect to continue the disciplined execution of select sales of operating assets. Future sales will provide an important source of capital to fund a portion of pending and recently completed opportunistic acquisitions and our highly leased value-creation development and redevelopment projects, and also provide significant capital for growth over the next two to three quarters. We may also consider additional sales of partial interests in core Class A properties and/or development projects. For 2020, we expect real estate dispositions and partial interest sales ranging from $1.0 billion to $1.5 billion. The amount of asset sales necessary to meet our forecasted sources of capital will vary depending upon the amount of EBITDA associated with the assets sold. As of the date of this report, we have received proceeds of $51.1 million from our partial interest sale at 9808 and 9868 Scranton Road in our Sorrento Mesa submarket.

As a REIT, generally we are subject to a 100% tax on the net income from real estate asset sales that the IRS characterizes as “prohibited transactions.” We do not expect our sales will be categorized as prohibited transactions. However, unless we meet certain “safe harbor” requirements, whether a real estate asset sale is a prohibited transaction will be based on the facts and circumstances of the sale. Our real estate asset sales may not always meet such safe harbor requirements. Refer to “Item 1A. Risk factors” of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, for additional information about the “prohibited transaction” tax.

Common equity transactions

In January 2020, we entered into forward equity sales agreements aggregating $1.0 billion to sell an aggregate of 6.9 million shares of our common stock (including the exercise of an underwriters’ option) at a public offering price of $155.00 per share, before underwriting discounts. In March 2020, we settled 3.4 million shares from our forward equity sales agreement and received proceeds of $500.0 million. We expect to receive proceeds of approximately $519.6 million upon settlement of the remaining outstanding forward equity sales agreements, to be further adjusted as provided in the sales agreements.

In addition, in July 2020, we entered into forward equity sales agreements to sell an aggregate of 6.9 million shares of our common stock (including the exercise of an underwriters’ option) at a public offering price of $160.50 per share, before underwriting discounts. We expect to receive proceeds of approximately $1.1 billion, to be further adjusted as provided in the sales agreements. As of the date of this report, no shares have been settled under these forward equity sales agreements.

We expect to settle the outstanding forward equity sales agreements in 2020, and use proceeds to fund pending and recently completed acquisitions and the construction of our highly leased development and redevelopment projects.

In February 2020, we entered into a new ATM common stock offering program, which allows us to sell up to an aggregate of $850.0 million of our common stock. As of June 30, 2020, the remaining availability under this ATM program was approximately $843.7 million. The amount of common equity issued will be subject to market conditions.

Other sources

Under our current shelf registration statement filed with the SEC, we may offer common stock, preferred stock, debt, and other securities. These securities may be issued, from time to time, at our discretion based on our needs and market conditions, including, as necessary, to balance our use of incremental debt capital.

Additionally, we hold interests, together with joint venture partners, in real estate joint ventures that we consolidate in our financial statements. These joint venture partners may contribute equity into these entities primarily related to their share of funds for construction and financing-related activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we received $55.8 million of contributions from and sales of noncontrolling interests.

Uses of capital

Summary of capital expenditures

One of our primary uses of capital relates to the development, redevelopment, pre-construction, and construction of properties. We currently have projects in our growth pipeline aggregating 2.3 million RSF of Class A office/laboratory and tech office space undergoing construction, 6.6 million RSF of near-term and intermediate-term development and redevelopment projects, and 5.3 million SF of future development projects in North America. We incur capitalized construction costs related to development, redevelopment, pre-construction, and other construction activities. We also incur additional capitalized project costs, including interest, property taxes, insurance, and other costs directly related and essential to the development, redevelopment, pre-construction, or construction of a project, during periods when activities necessary to prepare an asset for its intended use are in progress. Refer to the “New Class A development and redevelopment properties: current projects” and “Summary of capital expenditures” subsections of the “Investments in real estate” section within this Item 2 for more information on our capital expenditures.

We capitalize interest cost as a cost of the project only during the period for which activities necessary to prepare an asset for its intended use are ongoing, provided that expenditures for the asset have been made and interest cost has been incurred. Capitalized interest for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, of $55.5 million and $40.2 million, respectively, is classified in investments in real estate. Indirect project costs, including construction administration, legal fees, and office costs that clearly relate to projects under development or construction, are capitalized as incurred during the period an asset is undergoing activities to prepare it for its intended use. We capitalized payroll and other indirect project costs related to development, redevelopment, pre-construction, and construction projects, which aggregated $32.3 million and $20.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in capitalized payroll and other indirect project costs for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019 was primarily due to an increase in our value-creation pipeline projects undergoing construction and pre-construction activities aggregating six projects with 4.4 million RSF in 2020 over 2019. Pre-construction activities include entitlements, permitting, design, site work, and other activities preceding commencement of construction of aboveground building improvements. The advancement of pre-construction efforts is focused on reducing the time required to deliver projects to prospective tenants. These critical activities add significant value for future ground-up development and are required for the vertical construction of buildings. Should we cease activities necessary to prepare an asset for its intended use, the interest, taxes, insurance, and certain other direct project costs related to this asset would be expensed as incurred. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Fluctuations in our development, redevelopment, and construction activities could result in significant changes to total expenses and net income. For example, had we experienced a 10% reduction in development, redevelopment, and construction activities without a corresponding decrease in indirect project costs, including interest and payroll, total expenses would have increased by approximately $8.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

We use third-party brokers to assist in our leasing activity, who are paid on a contingent basis upon successful leasing. We are required to capitalize initial direct costs related to successful leasing transactions that result directly from and are essential to the lease transaction and would not have been incurred had that lease transaction not been successfully executed. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we capitalized total initial direct leasing costs of $26.4 million. Costs that we incur to negotiate or arrange a lease regardless of its outcome, such as fixed employee compensation, tax, or legal advice to negotiate lease terms, and other costs, are expensed as incurred.

Acquisitions

Refer to the “Acquisitions” section of Note 3 – “Investments in real estate” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this report, and the “Acquisitions” subsection of the “Investments in real estate” section within this Item 2 for information on our acquisitions.

Dividends

During the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we paid the following dividends (in thousands):


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2020		2019		Change
Common stock	$	256,259	$	218,914	$	37,345
Series D Convertible Preferred Stock	—		2,132		(2,132)
	$	256,259	$	221,046	$	35,213

The increase in dividends paid on our common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, was primarily due to an increase in number of common shares outstanding subsequent to January 1, 2019, as a result of issuances of common stock under our ATM program and settlement of forward equity sales agreements, and partially due to the increase in the related dividends to $2.06 per common share paid during the six months ended June 30, 2020, from $1.94 per common share paid during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

The decrease in dividends paid on our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock during the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019, was due to a decrease in number of shares outstanding as a result of the repurchase of 275,000 outstanding shares of our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock in 2019 and the conversion of the remaining 2.3 million outstanding shares of our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock into shares of our common stock during 2019. As of June 30, 2020, we had no outstanding shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock.

For additional information regarding our debt, refer to Note 10 – “Secured and unsecured senior debt” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this report.

Ground lease obligations

Operating lease agreements

Ground lease obligations as of June 30, 2020, included leases for 33 of our properties, which accounted for approximately 11% of our total number of properties. Excluding one ground lease that expires in 2036 related to one operating property with a net book value of $7.5 million as of June 30, 2020, our ground lease obligations have remaining lease terms ranging from approximately 33 to 94 years, including available extension options that we are reasonably certain to exercise.

As of June 30, 2020, the remaining contractual payments under ground and office lease agreements in which we are the lessee aggregated $706.4 million and $27.1 million, respectively. We are required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a related liability to account for our future obligations under operating lease arrangements in which we are the lessee. The operating lease liability is measured based on the present value of the remaining lease payments, including payments during the term under our extension options that we are reasonably certain to exercise. The right-of-use asset is equal to the corresponding operating lease liability, adjusted for the initial direct leasing cost and any other consideration exchanged with the landlord prior to the commencement of the lease, as well as adjustments to reflect favorable or unfavorable terms of an acquired lease when compared with market terms at the time of acquisition. As of June 30, 2020, the present value of the remaining contractual payments, aggregating $733.5 million, under our operating lease agreements, including our extension options that we are reasonably certain to exercise, was $291.7 million, which is classified in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. As of June 30, 2020, the weighted-average remaining lease term of operating leases in which we are the lessee was approximately 43 years, and the weighted-average discount rate was 5.17%. Our corresponding operating lease right-of-use assets, adjusted for initial direct leasing costs and other consideration exchanged with the landlord prior to the commencement of the lease, aggregated $283.6 million. We classify the right-of-use asset in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. Refer to the “Lease accounting” section of Note 2 – “Summary of significant accounting policies” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this report for additional information.

Commitments

As of June 30, 2020, remaining aggregate costs under contract for the construction of properties undergoing development, redevelopment, and improvements under the terms of leases approximated $1.2 billion. We expect payments for these obligations to occur over one to three years, subject to capital planning adjustments from time to time. We may have the ability to cease the construction of certain properties, which would result in the reduction of our commitments. In addition, we have letters of credit and performance obligations aggregating $11.1 million primarily related to construction projects.

We are committed to funding approximately $224.9 million for non-real estate investments primarily related to our investments in limited partnerships. Our funding commitments expire at various dates over the next 11 years, with a weighted-average expiration of 8.5 years as of June 30, 2020.

Exposure to environmental liabilities

In connection with the acquisition of all of our properties, we have obtained Phase I environmental assessments to ascertain the existence of any environmental liabilities or other issues. The Phase I environmental assessments of our properties have not revealed any environmental liabilities that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations taken as a whole, nor are we aware of any material environmental liabilities that have occurred since the Phase I environmental assessments were completed. In addition, we carry a policy of pollution legal liability insurance covering exposure to certain environmental losses at substantially all of our properties.

Non-GAAP measures and definitions

This section contains additional information of certain non-GAAP financial measures and the reasons why we use these supplemental measures of performance and believe they provide useful information to investors, as well as the definitions of other terms used in this report.

Funds from operations and funds from operations, as adjusted, attributable to Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc.’s common stockholders

GAAP-basis accounting for real estate assets utilizes historical cost accounting and assumes that real estate values diminish over time. In an effort to overcome the difference between real estate values and historical cost accounting for real estate assets, the Nareit Board of Governors established funds from operations as an improved measurement tool. Since its introduction, funds from operations has become a widely used non-GAAP financial measure among equity REITs. We believe that funds from operations is helpful to investors as an additional measure of the performance of an equity REIT. Moreover, we believe that funds from operations, as adjusted, allows investors to compare our performance to the performance of other real estate companies on a consistent basis, without having to account for differences recognized because of real estate investment and disposition decisions, financing decisions, capital structure, capital market transactions, and variances resulting from the volatility of market conditions outside of our control. On January 1, 2019, we adopted standards established by the Nareit Board of Governors in its November 2018 White Paper (the “Nareit White Paper”) on a prospective basis. The Nareit White Paper defines funds from operations as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses on sales of real estate, and impairments of real estate, plus depreciation and amortization of operating real estate assets, and after adjustments for our share of consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships and real estate joint ventures. Impairments represent the write-down of assets when fair value over the recoverability period is less than the carrying value due to changes in general market conditions and do not necessarily reflect the operating performance of the properties during the corresponding period.

We compute funds from operations, as adjusted, as funds from operations calculated in accordance with the Nareit White Paper, excluding significant gains, losses, and impairments realized on non-real estate investments, unrealized gains or losses on non-real estate investments, gains or losses on early extinguishment of debt, gains or losses on early termination of interest rate hedge agreements, preferred stock redemption charges, deal costs, the income tax effect related to such items, and the amount of such items that is allocable to our unvested restricted stock awards. Neither funds from operations nor funds from operations, as adjusted, should be considered as alternatives to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as indications of financial performance, or to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as measures of liquidity, nor are they indicative of the availability of funds for our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions.

The following table reconciles net income to funds from operations for the share of consolidated real estate joint ventures attributable to noncontrolling interests and our share of unconsolidated real estate joint ventures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 (in thousands):



	Noncontrolling Interest Share of Consolidated Real Estate Joint Ventures						Our Share of Unconsolidated Real Estate Joint Ventures

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin

We use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental performance measure of our operations, for financial and operational decision-making, and as a supplemental means of evaluating period-to-period comparisons on a consistent basis. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), excluding stock compensation expense, gains or losses on early extinguishment of debt, gains or losses on sales of real estate, and impairments of real estate. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes unrealized gains or losses and significant realized gains and impairments that result from our non-real estate investments. These non-real estate investment amounts are classified in our consolidated statements of operations outside of revenues.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with relevant and useful information as it allows investors to evaluate the operating performance of our business activities without having to account for differences recognized because of real estate and non-real estate investment and disposition decisions, financing decisions, capital structure, capital market transactions, and variances resulting from the volatility of market conditions outside of our control. For example, we exclude gains or losses on the early extinguishment of debt to allow investors to measure our performance independent of our indebtedness and capital structure. We believe that adjusting for the effects of impairments and gains or losses on sales of real estate, and significant impairments and significant gains on the sale of non-real estate investments allows investors to evaluate performance from period to period on a consistent basis without having to account for differences recognized because of real estate and non-real estate investment and disposition decisions. We believe that excluding charges related to stock compensation and unrealized gains or losses facilitates for investors a comparison of our business activities across periods without the volatility resulting from market forces outside of our control. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as a measure of our performance. Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our historical expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments. While Adjusted EBITDA is a relevant measure of performance, it does not represent net income (loss) or cash flows from operations calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, and it should not be considered as an alternative to those indicators in evaluating performance or liquidity.

103

Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA margin divides Adjusted EBITDA by our revenues, as adjusted. We believe that revenues, as adjusted, provides a denominator for Adjusted EBITDA margin that is calculated on a basis more consistent with that of the Adjusted EBITDA numerator. Specifically, revenues, as adjusted, includes the same realized gains on, and impairments of, non-real estate investments that are included in the reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA. We believe that the consistent application of results from our non-real estate investments to both the numerator and denominator of Adjusted EBITDA margin provides a more useful calculation for the comparison across periods.

The following table reconciles net income (loss) and revenues, the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, to Adjusted EBITDA and revenues, as adjusted, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 (dollars in thousands):

Annual rental revenue

Annual rental revenue represents the annualized fixed base rental obligzations, calculated in accordance with GAAP, for leases in effect as of the end of the period, related to our operating RSF. Annual rental revenue is presented using 100% of the annual rental revenue of our consolidated properties and our share of annual rental revenue for our unconsolidated real estate joint ventures. Annual rental revenue per RSF is computed by dividing annual rental revenue by the sum of 100% of the RSF of our consolidated properties and our share of the RSF of properties held in unconsolidated real estate joint ventures. As of June 30, 2020, approximately 93% of our leases (on an RSF basis) were triple net leases, which require tenants to pay substantially all real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, repairs and maintenance, common area expenses, and other operating expenses (including increases thereto) in addition to base rent. Annual rental revenue excludes these operating expenses recovered from our tenants. Amounts recovered from our tenants related to these operating expenses, along with base rent, are classified in income from rentals in our consolidated statements of operations.

Cash interest

Cash interest is equal to interest expense calculated in accordance with GAAP plus capitalized interest, less amortization of loan fees and debt premiums (discounts). Refer to the definition of “Fixed-charge coverage ratio” within this section of this Item 2 for a reconciliation of interest expense, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, to cash interest.

104

Class A properties and AAA locations

Class A properties are properties clustered in AAA locations that provide innovative tenants with highly dynamic and collaborative environments that enhance their ability to successfully recruit and retain world-class talent and inspire productivity, efficiency, creativity, and success. Class A properties generally command higher annual rental rates than other classes of similar properties.

AAA locations are in close proximity to concentrations of specialized skills, knowledge, institutions, and related businesses. Such locations are generally characterized by high barriers to entry for new landlords, high barriers to exit for tenants, and a limited supply of available space.

Development, redevelopment, and pre-construction

A key component of our business model is our disciplined allocation of capital to the development and redevelopment of new Class A properties, and property enhancements identified during the underwriting of certain acquired properties, located in collaborative life science, technology, and agtech campuses in AAA urban innovation clusters. These projects are generally focused on providing high-quality, generic, and reusable spaces that meet the real estate requirements of, and are reusable by, a wide range of tenants. Upon completion, each value-creation project is expected to generate a significant increase in rental income, net operating income, and cash flows. Our development and redevelopment projects are generally in locations that are highly desirable to high-quality entities, which we believe results in higher occupancy levels, longer lease terms, higher rental income, higher returns, and greater long-term asset value.

Development projects generally consist of the ground-up development of generic and reusable facilities.

Redevelopment projects consist of the permanent change in use of office, warehouse, and shell space into office/laboratory, tech office, or agtech space. We generally will not commence new development projects for aboveground construction of new Class A office/laboratory, tech office, and agtech space without first securing significant pre-leasing for such space, except when there is solid market demand for high-quality Class A properties.

Pre-construction activities include entitlements, permitting, design, site work, and other activities preceding commencement of construction of aboveground building improvements. The advancement of pre-construction efforts is focused on reducing the time required to deliver projects to prospective tenants. These critical activities add significant value for future ground-up development and are required for the vertical construction of buildings. Ultimately, these projects will provide high-quality facilities and are expected to generate significant revenue and cash flows.

Development, redevelopment, and pre-construction spending also includes the following costs: (i) certain tenant improvements and renovations that will be reimbursed, (ii) amounts to bring certain acquired properties up to market standard and/or other costs identified during the acquisition process (generally within two years of acquisition), and (iii) permanent conversion of space for highly flexible, move-in-ready office/laboratory space to foster the growth of promising early- and growth-stage life science companies.

Revenue-enhancing and repositioning capital expenditures represent spending to reposition or significantly change the use of property, including through improvement in the asset quality from Class B to Class A.

Non-revenue-enhancing capital expenditures represent costs required to maintain the current revenues of a stabilized property, including costs for renewed and re-leased space.

105

Fixed-charge coverage ratio

Fixed-charge coverage ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure representing the ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to fixed charges. We believe this ratio is useful to investors as a supplemental measure of our ability to satisfy fixed financing obligations and preferred stock dividends. Cash interest is equal to interest expense calculated in accordance with GAAP plus capitalized interest, less amortization of loan fees and debt premiums (discounts).

The following table reconciles interest expense, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, to cash interest and fixed charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 (dollars in thousands):


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,

– trailing 12 months	4.2x		4.2x		4.2x		4.2x

Initial stabilized yield (unlevered)

Initial stabilized yield is calculated as the estimated amounts of net operating income at stabilization divided by our investment in the property. Our initial stabilized yield excludes the benefit of leverage. Our cash rents related to our value-creation projects are generally expected to increase over time due to contractual annual rent escalations. Our estimates for initial stabilized yields, initial stabilized yields (cash basis), and total costs at completion represent our initial estimates at the commencement of the project. We expect to update this information upon completion of the project, or sooner if there are significant changes to the expected project yields or costs.

•Initial stabilized yield reflects rental income, including contractual rent escalations and any rent concessions over the term(s) of the lease(s), calculated on a straight-line basis.

•Initial stabilized yield (cash basis) reflects cash rents at the stabilization date after initial rental concessions, if any, have elapsed and our total cash investment in the property.

Investment-grade or publicly traded large cap tenants

Investment-grade or publicly traded large cap tenants represent tenants that are investment-grade rated or publicly traded companies with an average daily market capitalization greater than $10 billion for the twelve months ended June 30, 2020, as reported by Bloomberg Professional Services. In addition, we monitor the credit quality and related material changes of our tenants. Material changes that cause a tenant’s market capitalization to decline below $10 billion, which are not immediately reflected in the twelve-month average, may result in their exclusion from this measure.

Joint venture financial information

We present components of balance sheet and operating results information related to our real estate joint ventures, which are not presented, or intended to be presented, in accordance with GAAP. We present the proportionate share of certain financial line items as follows: (i) for each real estate joint venture that we consolidate in our financial statements, which are controlled by us through contractual rights or majority voting rights, but of which we own less than 100%, we apply the noncontrolling interest economic ownership percentage to each financial item to arrive at the amount of such cumulative noncontrolling interest share of each component presented; and (ii) for each real estate joint venture that we do not control and do not consolidate, and are instead controlled jointly or by our joint venture partners through contractual rights or majority voting rights, we apply our economic ownership percentage to each financial item to arrive at our proportionate share of each component presented.

The components of balance sheet and operating results information related to our real estate joint ventures do not represent our legal claim to those items. For each entity that we do not wholly own, the joint venture agreement generally determines what equity holders can receive upon capital events, such as sales or refinancing, or in the event of a liquidation. Equity holders are normally entitled to their respective legal ownership of any residual cash from a joint venture only after all liabilities, priority distributions, and claims have been repaid or satisfied.

We believe this information can help investors estimate the balance sheet and operating results information related to our partially owned entities. Presenting this information provides a perspective not immediately available from consolidated financial statements and one that can supplement an understanding of the joint venture assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses included in our consolidated results.

107

The components of balance sheet and operating results information related to our real estate joint ventures are limited as an analytical tool as the overall economic ownership interest does not represent our legal claim to each of our joint ventures’ assets, liabilities, or results of operations. In addition, joint venture financial information may include financial information related to the unconsolidated real estate joint ventures that we do not control. Refer to Note 4 – “Consolidated and unconsolidated real estate joint ventures” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this report for more information on our unconsolidated real estate joint ventures. We believe that in order to facilitate for investors a clear understanding of our operating results and our total assets and liabilities, joint venture financial information should be examined in conjunction with our consolidated statements of operations and balance sheets. Joint venture financial information should not be considered an alternative to our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Net cash provided by operating activities after dividends

Net cash provided by operating activities after dividends includes the deduction for distributions to noncontrolling interests. For purposes of this calculation, changes in operating assets and liabilities are excluded as they represent timing differences.

Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA

Net debt to Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe is useful to investors as a supplemental measure in evaluating our balance sheet leverage. Net debt is equal to the sum of total consolidated debt less cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash. Refer to the definition of “Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin” within this section of this Item 2 for further information on the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA.

The following table reconciles debt to net debt and computes the ratio to Adjusted EBITDA as of June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019 (dollars in thousands):

Net operating income is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as net income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, excluding equity in the earnings of our unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, general and administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, impairments of real estate, gains or losses on early extinguishment of debt, gains or losses on sales of real estate, and investment income or loss. We believe net operating income provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because it primarily reflects those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level. Therefore, we believe net operating income is a useful measure for investors to evaluate the operating performance of our consolidated real estate assets. Net operating income on a cash basis is net operating income adjusted to exclude the effect of straight-line rent and amortization of acquired above- and below-market lease revenue adjustments required by GAAP. We believe that net operating income on a cash basis is helpful to investors as an additional measure of operating performance because it eliminates straight-line rent revenue and the amortization of acquired above- and below-market leases.

Furthermore, we believe net operating income is useful to investors as a performance measure for our consolidated properties because, when compared across periods, net operating income reflects trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, and operating costs, which provide a perspective not immediately apparent from net income or loss. Net operating income can be used to measure the initial stabilized yields of our properties by calculating net operating income generated by a property divided by our investment in the property. Net operating income excludes certain components from net income in order to provide results that are more closely related to the results of operations of our properties. For example, interest expense is not necessarily linked to the operating performance of a real estate asset and is often incurred at the corporate level rather than at the property level. In addition, depreciation and amortization, because of historical cost accounting and useful life estimates, may distort comparability of operating performance at the property level. Impairments of real estate have been excluded in deriving net operating income because we do not consider impairments of real estate to be property-level operating expenses. Impairments of real estate relate to changes in the values of our assets and do not reflect the current operating performance with respect to related revenues or expenses. Our impairments of real estate represent the write-down in the value of the assets to the estimated fair value less cost to sell. These impairments result from investing decisions or a deterioration in market conditions. We also exclude realized and unrealized investment income or loss, which results from investment decisions that occur at the corporate level related to non-real estate investments in publicly traded companies and certain privately held entities. Therefore, we do not consider these activities to be an indication of operating performance of our real estate assets at the property level. Our calculation of net operating income also excludes charges incurred from changes in certain financing decisions, such as losses on early extinguishment of debt, as these charges often relate to corporate strategy. Property operating expenses included in

109

determining net operating income primarily consist of costs that are related to our operating properties, such as utilities, repairs, and maintenance; rental expense related to ground leases; contracted services, such as janitorial, engineering, and landscaping; property taxes and insurance; and property-level salaries. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of accounting and corporate compensation, corporate insurance, professional fees, office rent, and office supplies that are incurred as part of corporate office management. We calculate operating margin as net operating income divided by total revenues.

We believe that in order to facilitate for investors a clear understanding of our operating results, net operating income should be examined in conjunction with net income or loss as presented in our consolidated statements of operations. Net operating income should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss as an indication of our performance, nor as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of our liquidity or our ability to make distributions.

Operating statistics

We present certain operating statistics related to our properties, including number of properties, RSF, occupancy percentage, leasing activity, and contractual lease expirations as of the end of the period. We believe these measures are useful to investors because they facilitate an understanding of certain trends for our properties. We compute the number of properties, RSF, occupancy percentage, leasing activity, and contractual lease expirations at 100% for all properties in which we have an investment, including properties owned by our consolidated and unconsolidated real estate joint ventures. For operating metrics based on annual rental revenue, refer to the definition of “Annual rental revenue” within this section of this Item 2.

Same property comparisons

As a result of changes within our total property portfolio during the comparative periods presented, including changes from assets acquired or sold, properties placed into development or redevelopment, and development or redevelopment properties recently placed into service, the consolidated total income from rentals, as well as rental operating expenses in our operating results, can show significant changes from period to period. In order to supplement an evaluation of our results of operations over a given quarterly or annual period, we analyze the operating performance for all consolidated properties that were fully operating for the entirety of the comparative periods presented, referred to as same properties. We separately present quarterly and year-to-date same property results to align with the interim financial information required by the SEC in our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations. These same properties are analyzed separately from properties acquired subsequent to the first day in the earliest comparable quarterly or year-to-date period presented, properties that underwent development or redevelopment at any time during the comparative periods, unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, properties classified as held for sale, and corporate entities (legal entities performing general and administrative functions), which are excluded from same property results. Additionally, lease termination fees, if any, are excluded from the results of same properties. Refer to the “Same properties” subsection in the “Results of operations” section within this Item 2 for additional information.

Stabilized occupancy date

The stabilized occupancy date represents the estimated date on which the project is expected to reach occupancy of 95% or greater.

Tenant recoveries

Tenant recoveries represent revenues comprising reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, repairs and maintenance, common area expenses, and other operating expenses and earned in the period during which the applicable expenses are incurred and the tenant’s obligation to reimburse us arises.

We classify rental revenues and tenant recoveries generated through the leasing of real estate assets within revenue in income from rentals in our consolidated statements of operations. We provide investors with a separate presentation of rental revenues and tenant recoveries in the “Comparison of results for the three months ended June 30, 2020, to the three months ended June 30, 2019” and “Comparison of results for the six months ended June 30, 2020, to the six months ended June 30, 2019” subsections of the “Results of operations” section within this Item 2 because we believe it promotes investors’ understanding of our operating results. We believe that the presentation of tenant recoveries is useful to investors as a supplemental measure of our ability to recover operating expenses under our triple net leases, including recoveries of utilities, repairs and maintenance, insurance, property taxes, common area expenses, and other operating expenses, and of our ability to mitigate the effect to net income for any significant variability to components of our operating expenses.

110

The following table reconciles income from rentals to tenant recoveries for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2020		2019		2020		2019
Income from rentals	$	435,856	$	371,618	$	873,461	$	726,367
Rental revenues	(341,555)		(289,625)		(679,497)		(564,188)
Tenant recoveries	$	94,301	$	81,993	$	193,964	$	162,179

Total market capitalization

Total market capitalization is equal to the outstanding shares of common stock at the end of the period multiplied by the closing price on the last trading day of the period (i.e., total equity capitalization), plus total debt outstanding at period-end.

Unencumbered net operating income as a percentage of total net operating income

Unencumbered net operating income as a percentage of total net operating income is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe is useful to investors as a performance measure of the results of operations of our unencumbered real estate assets as it reflects those income and expense items that are incurred at the unencumbered property level. Unencumbered net operating income is derived from assets classified in continuing operations, which are not subject to any mortgage, deed of trust, lien, or other security interest, as of the period for which income is presented.

The following table summarizes unencumbered net operating income as a percentage of total net operating income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 (dollars in thousands):


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2020		2019		2020		2019
Unencumbered net operating income	$	296,358	$	251,397	$	591,359	$	494,588
Encumbered net operating income	16,687		16,770		32,502		30,920
Total net operating income	$	313,045	$	268,167	$	623,861	$	525,508
Unencumbered net operating income as a percentage of total net operating income	95%		94%		95%		94%

Weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding – diluted

From time to time, we enter into capital market transactions, including forward equity sales agreements (“Forward Agreements”), to fund acquisitions, fund construction of our highly leased development and redevelopment projects, and for general working capital purposes. We are required to consider the potential dilutive effect of our forward equity sales agreements under the treasury stock method while the forward equity sales agreements are outstanding. As of June 30, 2020, we had Forward Agreements outstanding to sell an aggregate of 3.5 million shares of common stock.

Prior to the conversion of our remaining outstanding shares in October 2019, we considered the effect of assumed conversion of our outstanding Series D Convertible Preferred Stock when determining potentially dilutive incremental shares to our common stock. When calculating the assumed conversion, we add back to net income or loss the dividends paid on our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock to the numerator and then include additional common shares assumed to have been issued (as displayed in the table below) to the denominator of the per share calculation. The effect of the assumed conversion is considered separately for our per share calculations of net income or loss; funds from operations, computed in accordance with the definition in the Nareit White Paper; and funds from operations, as adjusted. Prior to the conversion of our remaining outstanding shares in October 2019, our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock was dilutive and assumed to be converted when quarterly and annual basic EPS, funds from operations, or funds from operations, as adjusted, exceeded approximately $1.75 and $7.00 per share, respectively, subject to conversion ratio adjustments and the impact of repurchases of our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. The effect of the assumed conversion was included when it was dilutive on a per share basis. The dilutive effect of less than a half cent per share appears as zero in our reconciliation of EPS – diluted to funds from operations per share – diluted, and funds from operations per share – diluted, as adjusted, even when the dilutive effect to the numerator alone appears in our reconciliation. Refer to Note 12 – “Earnings per share” and Note 13 – “Stockholders’ equity” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this report for more information related to our forward equity sales agreements and our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock.

111

The weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding used in calculating EPS – diluted, funds from operations per share – diluted, and funds from operations per share – diluted, as adjusted, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, are calculated as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended June 30,			Six Months Ended June 30,
	2020	2019	2020	2019
Weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding:
Basic shares for EPS	124,333	111,433	122,883	111,245

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest rate risk

The primary market risk to which we believe we may be exposed is interest rate risk, which may result from many factors, including government monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations, and other factors that are beyond our control.

In order to modify and manage the interest rate characteristics of our outstanding debt and to limit the effects of interest rate risks on our operations, we may utilize a variety of financial instruments, including interest rate hedge agreements, caps, floors, and other interest rate exchange contracts. The use of these types of instruments to hedge a portion of our exposure to changes in interest rates may carry additional risks, such as counterparty credit risk and the legal enforceability of hedge agreements. As of June 30, 2020, we did not have any outstanding interest rate hedge agreements.

Our future earnings and fair values relating to our outstanding debt are primarily dependent upon prevalent market rates of interest. The following tables illustrate the effect of a 1% change in interest rates on our fixed- and variable-rate debt as of June 30, 2020 (in thousands):


Annualized effect on future earnings due to variable-rate debt:
Rate increase of 1%	$	(2,337)
Rate decrease of 1%	$	379

Effect on fair value of total consolidated debt:
Rate increase of 1%	$	(622,535)
Rate decrease of 1%	$	703,529

These amounts are determined by considering the effect of the hypothetical interest rates on our borrowings as of June 30, 2020. These analyses do not consider the effects of the reduced level of overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment. Furthermore, in the event of a change of such magnitude, we would consider taking actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change. Because of the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, the sensitivity analyses assume no changes in our capital structure.

Equity price risk

We have exposure to equity price market risk because of our equity investments in publicly traded companies and privately held entities. All of our investments in actively traded public companies are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Our investments in privately held entities that report NAV per share are measured at fair value using NAV as a practical expedient to fair value. Our equity investments in privately held entities that do not report NAV per share are measured at cost less impairments, adjusted for observable price changes during the period. Changes in fair value of public investments, changes in NAV per share reported by privately held entities, and observable price changes of privately held entities that do not report NAV per share are classified as investment income in our consolidated statements of operations. There is no assurance that future declines in value will not have a material adverse effect on our future results of operations. The following table illustrates the effect that a 10% change in the value of our equity investments would have on earnings as of June 30, 2020 (in thousands):


Equity price risk:
Fair value increase of 10%	$	131,847
Fair value decrease of 10%	$	(131,847)

113

Foreign currency exchange rate risk

We have exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk related to our subsidiaries operating in Canada and Asia. The functional currencies of our foreign subsidiaries are the local currencies in each respective country. Gains or losses resulting from the translation of our foreign subsidiaries’ balance sheets and statements of operations are classified in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a separate component of total equity and are excluded from net (loss) income. Gains or losses will be reflected in our consolidated statements of operations when there is a sale or partial sale of our investment in these operations or upon a complete or substantially complete liquidation of the investment. The following tables illustrate the effect that a 10% change in foreign currency rates relative to the U.S. dollar would have on our potential future earnings and on the fair value of our net investment in foreign subsidiaries based on our current operating assets outside the U.S. as of June 30, 2020 (in thousands):


Effect on potential future earnings due to foreign currency exchange rate:
Rate increase of 10%	$	4
Rate decrease of 10%	$	(4)

Effect on the fair value of net investment in foreign subsidiaries due to foreign currency exchange rate:
Rate increase of 10%	$	9,275
Rate decrease of 10%	$	(9,275)

This sensitivity analysis assumes a parallel shift of all foreign currency exchange rates with respect to the U.S. dollar; however, foreign currency exchange rates do not typically move in such a manner, and actual results may differ materially.

Our exposure to market risk elements for the six months ended June 30, 2020, was consistent with the risk elements presented above, including the effects of changes in interest rates, equity prices, and foreign currency exchange rates.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

As of June 30, 2020, we had performed an evaluation, under the supervision of our principal executive officers and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. These controls and procedures have been designed to ensure that information required for disclosure is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the requisite time periods. Based on our evaluation, the principal executive officers and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2020.

Changes in internal control over financial reporting

There has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2020, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

114

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the information set forth in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, one should also carefully review and consider the information contained in our other reports and periodic filings that we make with the SEC, including, without limitation, the information contained under the caption “Item 1A. Risk factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Those risk factors could materially affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. The risks that we describe in our public filings are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we presently deem to be immaterial, also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed under the caption “Item 1A. Risk factors” to our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, except for the following update:

The current outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease, or COVID-19, or the future outbreak of any other highly infectious or contagious diseases, could adversely impact or cause disruption to our financial condition and results of operations. Further, the spread of COVID-19 has caused severe disruptions in the U.S. and global economies, may further disrupt financial markets, and could create widespread business continuity issues.

In recent years, the outbreaks of a number of diseases, including avian influenza, H1N1, and various other “superbugs,” have increased the risk of a pandemic. In December 2019, COVID-19 was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. COVID-19 has since spread around the globe, including the U.S. COVID-19 has been reported in every state in the U.S., including those where we own and operate our properties, have executive offices, and conduct principal operations. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the U.S. declared a national emergency with respect to COVID-19.

The potential impact and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic has had, and continues to have, a significant adverse impact across regional and global economies and financial markets. The global impact of the outbreak has been rapidly evolving and as new cases of the virus have continued, particularly in the U.S., countries around the world and states around the U.S., have reacted by instituting quarantines and restrictions on travel.

Almost every state implemented some form of shelter-in-place or stay-at-home directive between March and May 2020, including, among others, the cities of Boston, San Francisco (including five other San Francisco Bay area counties), and Seattle, and the states of California, Maryland, Massachusetts, and New York, where we own properties. The lockdown restrictions implemented included quarantines, restrictions on travel, shelter-in-place orders, school closures, restrictions on types of business that may continue to operate, and/or restrictions on types of construction projects that could continue. These quarantines generally came with exceptions for essential healthcare/public health operations; health manufacturing; clinical research, development, and testing for COVID-19; research and laboratory activities; essential manufacturing for pharmaceuticals, vaccines, testing materials, laboratory supplies, medical equipment, instruments; and safety products; essential retail, including pharmacies; essential building services, such as cleaning and maintenance; skilled trades, such as plumbers and electricians; and certain essential construction projects.

Beginning in early May 2020, the U.S. began to lift the lockdown restrictions and allow for the reopening of businesses. The gradual reopening of retail, manufacturing, and office facilities came with required or recommended safety protocols. There is no assurance that the reopening of businesses, even if those businesses adhere to recommended safety protocols, will enable us or many of our tenants to avoid adverse effects on our operations and businesses.

As of the date of this report, all our ground-up development projects undergoing construction have resumed construction. Due to the increase in the number of COVID-19 cases after the reopening of many states beginning in early June 2020, there is no assurance that local and state governments will not reinstitute new lockdowns that may cause our construction projects to have to pause, causing delays on our expected future deliveries. Construction workers are also practicing social distancing and following rules that restrict gathering of large groups of people in close proximity, as well as other appropriate practices that may slow the pace of construction.

Although critical research and development efforts are continuing in our office/laboratory properties, in certain cases such research and development efforts have fewer workers, and non-critical workers in these buildings and most office buildings are working remotely. When appropriate, certain spaces have been and may continue to be subject to temporary closure for quarantine and proper disinfecting. Our properties and tenant base include a small amount of restaurant, conference center, fitness centers, and retail space, accounting for less than 1.0% of our total revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2020. Retail tenants in particular continue to be severely impacted by social distancing protocols that remain in place across all of the markets where our properties are located.

115

The COVID-19 outbreak has already had a significant adverse impact on the economies of the world, including that of the U.S., and this pandemic, and future pandemics, could trigger a period of prolonged global economic slowdown or recession.

The effects of COVID-19 or another pandemic on our (or our tenants’) ability to successfully operate could be adversely impacted due to, among other factors:

•The continued service and availability of personnel, including our executive officers and other leaders that are part of our management team, and our ability to recruit, attract, and retain skilled personnel. To the extent our management or personnel are impacted in significant numbers by the outbreak of pandemic or epidemic disease and are not available or allowed to conduct work, our business and operating results may be negatively impacted;

•Our (or our tenants’) ability to operate, generally or in affected areas, or delays in the supply of products or services from our vendors that are necessary for us to operate effectively;

•Our tenants’ ability to pay rent on their leases in full and timely and, to the extent necessary, our inability to restructure our tenants’ long-term rent obligations on terms favorable to us or timely recapture the space for re-leasing (refer to the risk factor on the next page within this Item 1A of this report);

•Difficulty in our accessing debt and equity capital on attractive terms, or at all, and a severe disruption and instability in the global financial markets or deteriorations in credit and financing conditions, which may affect our (or our tenants’) ability to access capital necessary to fund business operations or replace or renew maturing liabilities on a timely basis and may adversely affect the valuation of financial assets and liabilities, any of which could affect our (or our tenants’) ability to meet liquidity and capital expenditure requirements or have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows;

•Complete or partial closures of, or other operational issues at, one or more of our offices or properties resulting from government action or directives;

•Our (or our tenants’) ability to continue or complete construction as planned for our tenants’ operations, or delays in the supply of materials or labor necessary for construction, which may affect our (or our tenants’) ability to complete construction or to complete it timely, our ability to prevent a lease termination, and our ability to collect rent, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows;

•The cost of implementing precautionary measures against COVID-19, including, but not limited to, potential additional health insurance and labor-related costs;

•Governmental efforts (such as moratoriums on or suspensions of eviction proceedings) that may affect our ability to collect rent or enforce remedies for the failure of our tenants to pay rent;

•Deterioration of global economic conditions and job losses, which may decrease demand for and occupancy levels of our rental properties and may cause our rental rates and property values to be negatively impacted;

•Our dependence on short-term and long-term debt sources, including our unsecured senior lines of credit, commercial paper program, and senior notes, which may affect our ability to continue our investing activities and pay distributions to our stockholders;

•Declines in the valuation of our properties, which may affect our ability to dispose of assets at attractive prices or to obtain debt financing secured by our properties and may reduce the availability of debt funding;

•Refusal or failure by one or more of our lenders under our credit facilities to fund their financing commitment to us, which we may not be able to replace on favorable terms, or at all;

•To the extent we enter into derivative financial instruments, one or more counterparties to our derivative financial instruments could default on their obligations to us or could fail, increasing the risk that we may not realize the benefits of utilizing these instruments;

•Any possession taken of our properties, in whole or in part, by governmental authorities for public purposes in eminent domain proceedings;

116

•Our level of insurance coverage and recovery we receive under any insurance we maintain, which may be delayed by, or insufficient to fully offset potential/actual losses caused by, COVID-19;

•Any increase in insurance premiums and imposition of large deductibles;

•Our level of dependence on the Internet, stemming from employees working remotely, and increases in malware campaigns and phishing attacks preying on the uncertainties surrounding COVID-19, which may increase our vulnerability to cyber attacks;

•Our ability to ensure business continuity in the event our continuity of operations plan is not effective or is improperly implemented or deployed during a disruption; and

•Our ability to operate, which may cause our business and operating results to decline or may impact our ability to comply with regulatory obligations leading to reputational harm and regulatory issues or fines.

While the rapid development and fluidity of the COVID-19 pandemic precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact of COVID-19, the spread of COVID-19 has resulted in, and may continue to result in, significant disruption of the global financial market and increase in unemployment in the U.S. The pandemic and public and private responses to the pandemic may lead to deterioration of economic conditions, an economic downturn and/or a recession, at a global scale, which could materially affect our (or our tenants’) performance, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

The current outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease, or COVID-19, or the future outbreak of any other highly infectious or contagious diseases, could adversely impact or cause disruption to our tenants’ financial condition and results of operations, which could adversely impact our ability to generate income sufficient to meet operating expenses or generate income and capital appreciation.

Our tenants, many of which conduct business in the life science, technology, or agtech industries, may incur significant costs or losses responding to the outbreak of a contagious disease (such as COVID-19), lose business due to interruption in their operations, or incur other liabilities related to shelter-in-place orders, quarantines, infection, or other related factors. Tenants that experience deteriorating financial conditions as a result of the outbreak of a contagious disease, or the COVID-19 pandemic, may be unwilling or unable to pay rent in full or timely due to bankruptcy, lack of liquidity, lack of funding, operational failures, or for other reasons. Our tenants’ defaults and delayed or partial rental payments could adversely impact our rental revenues and operating results.

The negative effects of an outbreak of a contagious disease (such as COVID-19) on our tenants in the life science industry may include, but are not limited to:

•Delays or difficulties in enrolling patients or maintaining scheduled study visits in clinical trials;

•Delays or difficulties in clinical site initiation, including difficulties in recruiting clinical site investigators and clinical site staff;

•Diversion of healthcare resources away from clinical trials, including the diversion of hospitals serving as our tenants’ clinical trial sites and hospital staff supporting the conduct of our tenants’ clinical trials;

•Interruptions of key clinical trial or other research activities, such as clinical trial site monitoring, due to limitations on travel imposed or recommended by federal or state governments, employers, and others;

•Limitations in employee resources that would otherwise be focused on our tenants’ research, business, or clinical trials, including because of sickness of employees or their families, the desire of employees to avoid contact with large groups of people, or as a result of the governmental imposition of shelter-in-place or similar working restrictions;

•Interruptions in supply chain, manufacturing, and global shipping or other delays that may affect the transport of materials necessary for our tenants’ research, clinical trials, or manufacturing activities;

•Reduction in revenue projections for our tenants’ products due to the prioritization of the treatment of COVID-19 patients over other treatments, such as specialty and elective procedures and non-COVID-19 diagnostics;

•Delays in necessary interactions with ethics committees, regulators, and other important agencies and contractors due to limitations in employee resources or forced furlough of government employees;

117

•Delays in receiving approval from regulatory authorities to initiate planned clinical trials or research activities;

•Delays in commercialization of our tenants’ products and approval by governmental authorities (such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and the federal and state Emergency Management Agencies) of our tenants’ products caused by disruptions, funding shortages, or health concerns, as well as by the prioritization by the FDA of the review and approvals of diagnostics, therapeutics, and vaccines that are related to COVID-19;

•Difficulty in retaining staff or rehiring staff in connection with layoffs caused by deteriorating global market conditions;

•Changes in local regulations as part of a response to the COVID-19 outbreak that may require our tenants to change the ways in which their clinical trials are conducted, which may result in unexpected costs or the discontinuation of the clinical trials altogether;

•Refusal or reluctance of the FDA to accept data from clinical trials in affected geographies outside the U.S.;

•Diminishing public trust in healthcare facilities or other facilities, such as medical office buildings, that are treating (or have treated) patients affected by contagious diseases, including COVID-19; and

•Inability to access capital on terms favorable to our tenants because of changes in company valuation and investor appetite due to the general downturn of economic and financial conditions and the volatility of the market.

The negative effects of an outbreak of a contagious disease (such as COVID-19) on our tenants in the technology industry may include, but are not limited to:

•Reduction in staff productivity due to business closures, alternative working arrangements, or illness of staff and/or illness in the family;

•Reductions in sales of our tenants’ services and products, longer sales cycles, reductions in subscription duration and value, slower adoption of new technologies, and increased price competition due to economic uncertainties and downturns;

•Disruptions to our tenants’ supply chain, manufacturing vendors, or logistics providers to deliver products or perform services;

•Limitations on business and marketing activities due to travel restrictions and virtualization, or cancellation of customer and employee events;

•Adverse impact on customer relationships and our ability to recognize revenues due to our tenants’ inability to access their clients’ sites for implementation and on-site consulting services;

•Inability to recruit and develop highly skilled employees with appropriate qualifications, to conduct background checks on potential employees, and to provide necessary equipment and training to new and existing employees;

•Network infrastructure and technology systems failures of our tenants, or of third-party services used by our tenants, which may result in system interruptions, reputational harm, loss of intellectual property, delays in product development, lengthy interruptions in services, breaches of data security, and loss of critical data;

•Higher employment compensation costs that may not be offset by improved productivity or increased sales; and

•Inability to access capital on terms favorable to our tenants because of changes in company valuation and/or investor appetite due to general downturns of economic and financial conditions and the volatility of the market.

The negative effects of an outbreak of a contagious disease (such as COVID-19) on our tenants in the agtech industry may include, but are not limited to:

•Reduction in productive capacity and profitability because of decreased labor availability due, for example, to government restrictions, the inability of employees to report to work, or collective bargaining efforts;

118

•Potential contract cancellations, project reductions, and reduction in demand for our tenants’ products due to the adverse effect on business confidence and consumer sentiments and the general downturn in economic conditions;

•Disruption of the logistics necessary to import, export, and deliver products to target companies and their customers, as ports and other channels of entry may be closed or may operate at only a portion of capacity;

•Disruptions to manufacturing facilities and supply lines; and

The potential impact of a pandemic or outbreak of a contagious disease with respect to our tenants or our properties is difficult to predict and could have a material adverse impact on the operations of our tenants and, in turn, on our revenues, business, and results of operations, as well as the value of our stock. The COVID-19 pandemic, or other pandemics, may directly or indirectly cause the realization of any of the other risk factors included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, or this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Our life science tenants are subject to a number of risks unique to their industry, including (i) changes in technology, patent expiration, and intellectual property protection, (ii) high levels of regulation, (iii) failures in the safety and efficacy of their products, and (iv) significant funding requirements for product research and development. These risks may adversely affect their ability to make rental payments to us or satisfy their other lease obligations and consequently may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, and stock price.

Changes in technology, patent expiration, and intellectual property rights and protection

•Our tenants sell products and services in an industry that is characterized by rapid and significant technological changes, frequent new product and service introductions and enhancements, evolving industry standards, and uncertainty over the implementation of new healthcare reform legislation, which may cause them to lose competitive positions and adversely affect their operations.

•Many of our tenants and their licensors require patent, copyright, or trade secret protection and/or rights to use third-party intellectual property to develop, make, market, and sell their products and technologies. A tenant may be unable to commercialize its products or technologies if patents covering such products or technologies are not issued or are successfully challenged, narrowed, invalidated, or circumvented by third parties. Additionally, a third party may own intellectual property that limits a tenant’s ability to bring to market its product or technology without securing a license or other rights to use of the third-party intellectual property, which may require the tenant to pay an upfront fee or royalty. Failure to obtain these rights from third parties may make it challenging or impossible for a tenant to develop and commercialize its products or technologies, which could adversely affect its competitive position and operations.

•Many of our tenants depend upon patents to provide exclusive marketing rights for their products. As their product patents expire, competitors of these tenants may be able to legally produce and market products similar to those products of our tenants, which could have a material adverse effect on their sales and results of operations.

High levels of regulation:

•Some of our tenants develop and manufacture drugs that require regulatory approval, including approval from the FDA, prior to being made, marketed, sold, and used. The regulatory approval process to manufacture and market drugs is costly, typically takes several years, requires validation through clinical trials and the use of substantial resources, and is often unpredictable. A tenant may fail to obtain or may experience significant delays in obtaining these approvals. Even if the tenant obtains regulatory approvals, marketed products will be subject to ongoing regulatory review and potential loss of approvals.

•The ability of some of our tenants to commercialize any future products successfully will depend in part on the coverage and reimbursement levels set by government authorities, private health insurers, and other third-party payers. Additionally, reimbursements may decrease in the future.

119

Failures in the safety and efficacy of their products

•Some of our tenants developing potential products may find that their products are not effective, or even are harmful, when tested in humans.

•Some of our tenants depend upon the commercial success of certain products. Even if a product made by a tenant is successfully developed and proven safe and effective in human clinical trials, and the requisite regulatory approvals are obtained, subsequent discovery of safety issues with these products could cause product liability events, additional regulatory scrutiny and requirements for additional labeling, loss of approval, withdrawal of products from the market, and the imposition of fines or criminal penalties.

•A drug made by a tenant may not be well accepted by doctors and patients, or may be less effective or accepted than a competitor’s drug, even if it is successfully developed.

•The negative results of safety signals arising from the clinical trials of the competitors of our tenants may prompt regulatory agencies to take actions that may adversely affect the clinical trials or products of our tenants.

Significant funding requirements for product research and development

•Some of our tenants require significant funding to develop and commercialize their products and technologies, which funding must be obtained from venture capital firms; private investors; the public markets; companies in the life science industry; or federal, state, and local governments. Such funding may become unavailable or difficult to obtain. The ability of each tenant to raise capital will depend on its financial and operating condition, viability of their products, and the overall condition of the financial, banking, and economic environment, as well as government budget policies.

•Even with sufficient funding, some of our tenants may not be able to discover or identify potential drug targets in humans, or potential drugs for use in humans, or to create tools or technologies that are commercially useful in the discovery or identification of potential drug targets or drugs.

•Some of our tenants may not be able to successfully manufacture their drugs economically, even if such drugs are proven through human clinical trials to be safe and effective in humans.

•Marketed products also face commercialization risk, and tenants may never realize projected levels of product utilization or revenues.

•Negative news regarding the products, the clinical trials, or other business developments of our tenants may cause their stock price or credit profile to deteriorate.

We cannot assure our stockholders that our life science industry tenants will be able to develop, make, market, or sell their products and technologies due to the risks inherent in the life science industry. Any life science industry tenant that is unable to avoid, or sufficiently mitigate, the risks described above may have difficulty making rental payments to us or satisfying their other lease obligations to us. Such risks may also decrease the credit quality of our life science industry tenants or cause us to expend more funds and resources on the space leased by these tenants than we originally anticipated. The increased burden on our resources due to adverse developments relating to our life science industry tenants may cause us to achieve lower-than-expected yields on the space leased by these tenants. Negative news relating to our more significant life science industry tenants may also adversely impact our stock price.

The companies in which we invest through our non-real estate venture investment portfolio expose us to risks similar to those of our tenant base and additional risks inherent in venture capital investing, which could materially affect our reported asset and liability values and earnings and may materially and adversely affect our reported results of operations.

Through our strategic venture investment portfolio, we hold investments in companies which, similar to our tenant base, are concentrated in the life science, technology and agtech industries. The companies in which we invest are accordingly subject to risks similar to those posed by our tenant base, including those disclosed in this Form 10-Q and in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. In addition, the companies in which we invest through our venture investment portfolio are subject to the risks inherent in venture capital investing and may be adversely affected by external factors beyond our control and other risks, including, but not limited to the following:

120

•Risks inherent in venture capital investing, which typically focuses on relatively new and small companies with unproven technologies and limited access to capital, and is therefore generally considered more speculative than investment in larger, more established companies.

•Market disruption and volatility, which may adversely affect the value of the companies in which we hold equity investments.

•Disruptions, uncertainty, or volatility in the capital markets and global economy, which may impact the ability of the companies in which we invest to raise additional capital or access capital from venture capital investors or financial institutions on favorable terms.

•The illiquidity of the companies in which we invest, which may (i) impede our ability to realize the value at which these investments are carried if we are required to dispose of them, (ii) make it difficult for us to sell these investments on a timely basis, and (iii) impair the value of such investments.

•Changes in the political climate, potential reforms and changes to government negotiation and regulation, the effect of healthcare reform legislation, including those that may limit pricing of pharmaceutical products and drugs, market prices and conditions, prospects for favorable or unfavorable clinical trial results, new product initiatives, the manufacturing and distribution of new products, product safety and efficacy issues, and new collaborative agreements, all of which may affect the valuation, funding opportunities, business operations, and financial results of the companies in which we invest.

•Changes in U.S. federal government organizations or other agencies, including changes in policy, regulations, budgeting, retention of key leadership and other personnel, administration of drug approvals or restrictions on drug product or service development or commercialization, or a partial or complete future government shutdown resulting in temporary closures of agencies such as the Food and Drug Administration and SEC, could adversely affect the companies in which we invest, including delays in the commercialization of such companies’ products, decreased funding of research and development in the life sciences, technology and agtech industries or delays surrounding approval of budget proposals for any of these industries.

•Impacts or changes in business in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic or for other reasons, including diversion of healthcare resources away from clinical trials, delays or difficulties enrolling patients or maintaining scheduled appointments in clinical trials, interruptions and delays in lab research due to the reduction in employee resources stemming from social distancing requirements and the desire of employees to avoid contact with people, insufficient inventory of supplies and reagents necessary for lab research due to interruptions in supply chain interruptions in supply chain, delays or difficulties obtaining clinical site locations or engaging clinical site staff, interruptions on clinical site monitoring due to travel restrictions, delays in interacting with or receiving approval from regulatory agencies in connection with research activities or clinical trials, disruptions to manufacturing facilities and supply lines.

•Reduction in revenue, and revenue growth in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, deterioration in the global economy or for other reasons, may impair the value of the companies in which we hold equity investments or impede their ability to raise additional capital.

•Seasonal weather conditions, changes in availability of transportation or labor, especially in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, and other related factors may affect the products and services or the availability of such products and services of the companies in which we invest in the agtech sector.

Many of the factors listed above are beyond our control and, if the companies in which we invest are adversely affected by any of the foregoing, could materially affect our reported asset and liability values and earnings and may materially and adversely affect our reported results of operations. The occurrence of any of these adverse events could cause the market price of shares of our common stock to decline regardless of the performance of our primary real estate business. You should review the additional risk factors in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Social, political, and economic instability, unrest, and other circumstances beyond our control could adversely affect our business operations.

Our business may be adversely affected by social, political, and economic instability, unrest, or disruption in a geographic region in which we operate, regardless of cause, including protests, demonstrations, strikes, riots, civil disturbance, disobedience, insurrection, or social and political unrest. Such events may result in restrictions, curfews, or other actions and give rise to significant changes in regional and global economic conditions and cycles, which may adversely affect our financial condition and operations.

121

There have been recent demonstrations and protests in cities throughout the U.S. as well as globally, including in Hong Kong, in connection with civil rights, liberties, and social and governmental reform. While protests have been peaceful in many locations, looting, vandalism, and fires have taken place in cities, including Seattle, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., New York City, and Minneapolis, which led to the imposition of mandatory curfews and, in some locations, deployment of the U.S. National Guard. Government actions in an effort to protect people and property, including curfews and restrictions on business operations, may disrupt operations, harm perceptions of personal well-being, and increase the need for additional expenditures on security resources. In addition, action resulting from such social or political unrest may pose significant risks to our personnel, facilities, and operations. The effect and duration of the demonstrations, protests, or other factors is uncertain, and we cannot assure there will not be further political or social unrest in the future or that there will not be other events that could lead to the disruption of social, political, and economic conditions. If such events or disruptions persist for a prolonged period of time, our overall business and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Any or all of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows, or the market price of our common stock. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we presently deem to be immaterial, may also have potential to materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
