Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.18 per common share for the third quarter of 2022. The dividend is payable on October 14, 2022, to shareholders of record on September 30, 2022. The common stock dividend for the 12 months ending September 30, 2022, of $4.66 per common share represents an increase of 24 cents, or 5 percent, over the 12 months ended September 30, 2021.
The dividend allows the company to share its continued high-quality, strong and increasing net cash provided by operating activities with its common shareholders while retaining a significant portion for reinvestment into its highly leased pipeline of new Class A development and redevelopment projects. For the 10-year period ending December 31, 2022, the company expects an aggregate $2.0 billion of cash flows from operating activities after dividends will have been generated for reinvestment. Additionally, its funds from operations (FFO) payout ratio (quarterly common stock dividends divided by quarterly funds from operations) remains favorably low at 56 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Growth in the company’s net cash flows provided by operating activities continues to generate opportunities to increase the company’s quarterly cash dividend per common share while maintaining a low FFO payout ratio.
