Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

1.                 Background

 

As used in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, references to the “Company,” “Alexandria,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

 

Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. (NYSE: ARE), a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”), is the largest and leading investment-grade REIT focused principally on owning, operating, developing, redeveloping, and acquiring high-quality, sustainable real estate for the broad and diverse life science industry.  Founded in 1994, Alexandria was the first REIT to identify and pursue the laboratory niche and has since had the first-mover advantage in the core life science cluster locations, including Greater Boston, San Francisco Bay, San Diego, New York City, Seattle, Suburban Washington, D.C., and Research Triangle Park. Alexandria’s high-credit client tenants span the life science industry, including renowned academic and medical institutions, multinational pharmaceutical companies, public and private biotechnology entities, United States government research agencies, medical device companies, industrial biotech companies, venture capital firms, and life science product and service companies. As the recognized real estate partner of the life science industry, Alexandria has a superior track record in driving client tenant productivity and innovation through its best-in-class laboratory and office space, collaborative locations adjacent to leading academic and medical institutions, unparalleled life science real estate expertise and services, and longstanding and expansive network in the life science community, which we believe result in higher occupancy levels, longer lease terms, higher rental income, higher returns, and greater long-term asset value.

2.                 Basis of presentation

 

We have prepared the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and in conformity with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  In our opinion, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein reflect all adjustments that are necessary to fairly present the interim condensed 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, 2012.  These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. and its subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

 

We hold interests, together with certain third parties, in companies that we consolidate in our financial statements.  We consolidate the companies because we exercise significant control over major decisions of these entities, such as investing activity and changes in financing.

 

Use of estimates

 

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

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Investments in real estate, net, and discontinued operations

 

We recognize assets acquired (including the intangible value of above or below market leases, acquired in-place leases, client tenant relationships, and other intangible assets or liabilities), liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in an acquired entity at their fair value as of the acquisition date.  If there is a bargain fixed rate renewal option for the period beyond the non-cancelable lease term, we evaluate 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 such bargain purchase option will be exercised, we consider its impact in determining the intangible value of such lease and its related amortization period.  The value of tangible assets acquired is based upon our estimation of value on an “as if vacant” basis.  The value of acquired in-place leases includes the estimated carrying costs during the hypothetical lease-up period and other costs that would have been incurred to execute similar leases, considering market conditions at the acquisition date of the acquired in-place lease.  We assess the fair value of tangible and intangible assets based on numerous factors, including estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information.  Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors, including the historical operating results, known trends, and market/economic conditions that may affect the property.  We also recognize the 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.  Acquisition-related costs and restructuring costs are expensed as incurred.

 

The values allocated to land improvements, tenant improvements, equipment, buildings, and building improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis using an estimated life of 20 years for land improvements, the respective lease term for tenant improvements, the estimated useful life for equipment, and the shorter of the term of the respective ground lease and up to 40 years for buildings and building improvements.  The values of acquired above and below market leases are amortized over the lives of the related leases and recorded as either an increase (for below market leases) or a decrease (for above market leases) to rental income.  The values of acquired in-place leases are included in other assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, and amortized over the remaining terms of the related leases.

 

We are required to capitalize direct construction and development costs, including predevelopment costs, interest, property taxes, insurance, and other costs directly related and essential to the acquisition, development, redevelopment, or construction of a project.  Capitalization of development, redevelopment, and construction costs is required while activities are ongoing to prepare an asset for its intended use.  Fluctuations in our development, redevelopment, 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, 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.

 

A property is classified as “held for sale” when all of the following criteria for a plan of sale have been met: (1) management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the property; (2) the property is available for immediate sale in its present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary; (3) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell have been initiated; (4) the sale of the property is probable and is expected to be completed within one year; (5) the property is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and (6) 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.  When all of these criteria have been met, the property is classified as “held for sale”; its operations, including any interest expense directly attributable to it, are classified as discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated statements of income; and amounts for all prior periods presented are reclassified from continuing operations to discontinued operations.  Depreciation of assets ceases upon designation of a property as “held for sale.”

 

Long-lived assets to be held and used, including our rental properties, land held for future development, construction in progress, 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.  Impairment indicators for long-lived assets to be held and used, including our rental properties, land held for future development, and construction in progress, are assessed by project and include, but are not limited to, significant fluctuations in estimated net operating income, occupancy changes, 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, historical operating results, known trends, market/economic conditions that may affect the property, 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 recorded to reduce the carrying amount to its estimated fair value.  If an impairment loss is not required to be recorded, the recognition of depreciation 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 real estate 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 a “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 loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the long-lived asset classified as “held for sale” exceeds its fair value less cost to sell.

 

Investments

 

We hold equity investments in certain publicly traded companies and privately held entities primarily involved in the life science industry.  All of our investments in actively traded public companies are considered “available for sale” and are recorded at fair value.  Fair value has been determined based upon the closing price as of each balance sheet date, with unrealized gains and losses shown as a separate component of comprehensive income.  The classification of each investment is determined at the time each investment is made, and such determination is reevaluated at each balance sheet date.  The cost of each investment sold is determined by the specific identification method, with net realized gains or losses included in other income.  Investments in privately held entities are generally accounted for under the cost method when our interest in the entity is so minor that we have virtually no influence over the entity’s operating and financial policies.  Additionally, we limit our ownership percentage in the voting stock of each individual entity to less than 10%.  As of September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, our ownership percentage in the voting stock of each individual entity was less than 10%.

 

Individual investments are evaluated for impairment when changes in conditions may indicate an impairment exists.  The factors that we consider in making these assessments include, but are not limited to, market prices, market conditions, available financing, prospects for favorable or unfavorable clinical trial results, new product initiatives, and new collaborative agreements.  If there are no identified events or changes in circumstances that would have an adverse effect on our cost method investments, we do not estimate the investment’s fair value.  For all of our investments, if a decline in the fair value of an investment below the carrying value is determined to be other than temporary, such investment is written down to its estimated fair value with a non-cash charge to current earnings.  For a description of the methodology we use to determine the fair value of privately held entities, refer to Note 7, Fair Value of Financial Instruments.

 

Income taxes

 

We are organized and qualify as a REIT pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).  Under the Code, a REIT that distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income as a dividend to its shareholders each year and that meets certain other conditions is not subject to federal income taxes, but is subject to certain state and local taxes.  We generally distribute 100% or more of our taxable income.  Therefore, no provision for federal income taxes is required.  We file tax returns, including returns for our subsidiaries, with federal, state, and local jurisdictions, including jurisdictions located in the United States, Canada, India, China, and other international locations.  Our tax returns are subject to examination in various jurisdictions for the calendar years 2007 through 2011.

 

We recognize tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained, based solely on its technical merits, with the taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information.  The measurement of a tax benefit for an uncertain tax position that meets the “more likely than not” threshold is based on a cumulative probability model under which the largest amount of tax benefit recognized is the amount with a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority having full knowledge of all the relevant information.  As of September 30, 2012, there were no unrecognized tax benefits.  We do not anticipate a significant change to the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.

 

Interest expense and penalties, if any, would be recognized in the first period the interest or penalty would begin accruing, according to the provisions of the relevant tax law at the applicable statutory rate of interest.  We did not incur any tax-related interest expense or penalties for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

Interest income

 

Interest income was approximately $1.0 million and $0.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Interest income was approximately $2.5 million and $0.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Interest income is classified in other income in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

 

Recognition of rental income and tenant recoveries

 

Rental income from leases with scheduled rent increases, free rent, incentives, and other rent adjustments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms. We include amounts currently recognized as income, and expected to be received in later years, as an asset in deferred rent in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amounts received currently, but recognized as income in future years, are included in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and tenant security deposits in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. We commence recognition of rental income at the date the property is ready for its intended use and the client tenant takes possession of or controls the physical use of the property.

 

Tenant recoveries related to reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, repairs and maintenance, and other operating expenses are recognized as revenue in the period in which the applicable expenses are incurred.

 

We maintain an allowance for estimated losses that may result from the inability of our client tenants to make payments required under the terms of the lease and for tenant recoveries due. If a client tenant fails to make contractual payments beyond any allowance, we may recognize additional bad debt expense in future periods equal to the amount of unpaid rent and unrealized deferred rent.  As of September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, we had no allowance for estimated losses.

 

As of September 30, 2012, approximately 94% of our leases (on a rentable square footage basis) were triple net leases, requiring client 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.  Approximately 96% of our leases (on a rentable square footage basis) contained effective annual rent escalations that were either fixed or based on a consumer price index or another index.  Additionally, approximately 91% of our leases (on a rentable square footage basis) provided for the recapture of certain capital expenditures.

 

Impact of recently issued accounting standards

 

In May 2011, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) to substantially converge the guidance in GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) on fair value measurements and disclosures.  The ASU changes several aspects of the fair value measurement guidance in FASB Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurement, including (1) the application of the concepts of highest and best use and valuation premise; (2) the introduction of an option to measure groups of offsetting assets and liabilities on a net basis; (3) the incorporation of certain premiums and discounts in fair value measurements; and (4) the measurement of the fair value of certain instruments classified in stockholders’ equity.  In addition, the ASU includes several new fair value disclosure requirements, such as information about valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used in fair value measurements and a narrative description of the fair value measurements’ sensitivity to changes in significant unobservable inputs.  The ASU is effective for public companies during the interim and annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2011.  We adopted the ASU as of January 1, 2012. The adoption of the ASU did not impact our condensed consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued an ASU to make presentation of items within other comprehensive income (“OCI”) more prominent.  Entities are required to present items of net income, items of OCI, and total comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements.  There no longer exists the option to present OCI in the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.  In December 2011, the FASB decided to defer the requirement that companies present reclassification adjustments for each component of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) in both net income and OCI on the face of the financial statements.  Reclassifications out of AOCI will be either presented on the face of the financial statement in which OCI is presented or disclosed in the notes to the financial statements.  This deferral does not change the requirement to present items of net income, items of OCI, and total comprehensive income in either one continuous statement or two separate consecutive statements.  The ASU is effective for public companies during the interim and annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2011.  We adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2012, and have presented the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income separately from the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Land held for future development represents real estate we plan to develop in the future but on which, as of each period presented, no construction or preconstruction activities were ongoing.  As a result, interest, property taxes, insurance, and other costs are expensed as incurred.  As of September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, we held land in North America supporting an aggregate of 5.5 million and 4.8 million rentable square feet of future ground-up development, respectively.  Additionally, as of September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, we held land undergoing preconstruction activities in North America totaling 2.4 million and 2.7 million rentable square feet, respectively.  Land undergoing preconstruction activities (consisting of Building Information Modeling [BIM or 3-D virtual modeling], design development and construction drawings, sustainability and energy optimization review, budgeting, planning for future site and infrastructure work, and other activities prior to commencement of vertical construction of aboveground shell and core improvements) that are also classified as construction in progress.  Our objective with preconstruction is to reduce the time it takes to deliver projects to prospective client tenants.  Project costs are capitalized as a cost of the project during periods when activities necessary to prepare an asset for its intended use are in progress.  We generally will not commence ground-up development of any parcels undergoing preconstruction activities without first securing pre-leasing for such space.  If vertical aboveground construction is not initiated at completion of preconstruction activities, the land parcel will be classified as land held for future development.  The two largest projects included in land undergoing preconstruction consist of our 1.6 million developable square feet at Alexandria Center™ at Kendall Square in East Cambridge, Massachusetts, and our 419,806 developable square feet site for the West Tower of the Alexandria Center™ for Life Science – New York City.

Impairment of real estate assets held for sale

 

In September 2012, four properties aggregating 504,130 rentable square feet met the classification requirements for held for sale.  During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded impairment charges aggregating approximately $9.8 million to reduce the aggregate carrying value of the properties to the estimated sales price less costs to sell. We used the preliminary sales price estimates based on offers from prospective buyers as a significant observable input (level 2) within the valuation hierarchy to determine the estimated fair value of these assets.

Sale of land parcel

 

In March 2012, we contributed our 55% ownership interest in a land parcel supporting a future building with 414,000 rentable square feet in the Longwood Medical Area of the Greater Boston market to a newly formed joint venture (the “Restated JV”) with National Development and Charles River Realty Investors, and admitted as a 50% member Clarion Partners, LLC, resulting in a reduction of our ownership interest from 55% to 27.5%.  The transfer of one-half of our 55% ownership interest in this real estate venture to Clarion Partners, LLC, was accounted for as an in-substance partial sale of an interest in the underlying real estate.  In connection with the sale of one-half of our 55% ownership interest in the land parcel, we received a special distribution of approximately $22.3 million, which included the recognition of a $1.9 million gain on sale of land and approximately $5.4 million from our share of loan refinancing proceeds.  The land parcel we sold in March 2012 did not meet the criteria for discontinued operations since the parcel did not have any significant operations prior to disposition. Pursuant to the presentation and disclosure literature on gains/losses on sales or disposals by REITs required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), gains or losses on sales or disposals by a REIT that do not qualify as discontinued operations are classified below (loss) income from discontinued operations in the income statement.  Accordingly, we classified the $1.9 million gain on sale of land below (loss) income from discontinued operations, net, in the condensed consolidated statements of income.  Our 27.5% share of the land was sold at approximately $31 million (including closing costs), or approximately $275 per rentable square foot.  Upon formation of the Restated JV, the existing $38.4 million secured loan was refinanced with a seven-year (including two one-year extension options) non-recourse $213 million secured construction loan with initial loan proceeds of $50 million.  As of September 30, 2012, the outstanding balance on the construction loan was $56.4 million.  We do not expect our share of capital contributions through the completion of the project to exceed the approximate $22.3 million in net proceeds received in this transaction.  Construction of this $350 million project commenced in April 2012.  The initial occupancy date for this project is expected to be in the fourth quarter of 2014.  The project is 37% pre-leased to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Inc.  In addition, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Inc. has an option to lease an additional two floors approximating 99,000 rentable square feet, or 24% of the total rentable square feet of the project.  In addition to our economic share of the joint venture, we also expect to earn development and other fees of approximately $3.5 million through 2015, and recurring annual property management fees thereafter, from this project.

 

We do not qualify as the primary beneficiary of the Restated JV since we do not have the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impacts its economic performance.  The decisions that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance require both our consent and that of our partners for all major operating, investing, and financing decisions, as well as decisions involving major expenditures.  As of September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, our investment in the unconsolidated real estate entity of approximately $27.0 million and $42.3 million, respectively, was classified as an investment in real estate in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Our investment in the unconsolidated real estate entity is 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 this entity are allocated in accordance with the operating agreement.  When circumstances indicate that there may have been a reduction in value of an equity investment, we evaluate the equity investment and any advances made for impairment by estimating our ability to recover our investment from future expected cash flows.  If we determine the loss in value is other than temporary, we recognize an impairment charge to reflect the equity investment and any advances made at fair value.

We hold equity investments in certain publicly traded companies and privately held entities primarily involved in the life science industry.  Investments in “available for sale” securities with gross unrealized losses as of September 30, 2012, had been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months.  We have the ability and intent to hold these investments for a reasonable period of time sufficient for the recovery of our investment.  We believe that these unrealized losses are temporary, and accordingly we have not recognized an other-than-temporary impairment related to “available for sale” securities as of September 30, 2012.  As of September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, there were no unrealized losses in our investments in privately held entities.

In June 2012, we closed a secured construction loan with aggregate commitments of $55.0 million.  The construction loan matures in July 2015, and we have an option to extend the stated maturity date of July 1, 2015, by one year, twice, to July 1, 2017.  The construction loan will be used to fund the majority of the cost to complete the development of a 100% pre-leased life science laboratory building with 170,618 rentable square feet at 259 East Grand Avenue in the San Francisco Bay market.  The construction loan bears interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or the base rate specified in the construction loan agreement, defined as the higher of either the prime rate being offered by our lender or the federal funds rate in effect on the day of borrowing (“Base Rate”), plus in either case a specified margin of 1.50% for LIBOR borrowings or 0.25% for Base Rate borrowings.  As of September 30, 2012, commitments of $53.0 million were available.

4.60% Unsecured senior notes payable

 

In February 2012, we completed a $550 million public offering of our unsecured senior notes payable at a stated interest rate of 4.60%.  The unsecured senior notes payable were priced at 99.915% of the principal amount with a yield to maturity of 4.61% and are due April 1, 2022.  The unsecured senior notes payable are unsecured obligations of the Company and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Alexandria Real Estate Equities, L.P., a 100% owned subsidiary of the Company.  The unsecured senior notes payable rank equally in right of payment with all other senior unsecured indebtedness.  However, the unsecured senior notes payable are effectively subordinated to existing and future mortgages and other secured indebtedness (to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness) and to all existing and future preferred equity and liabilities, whether secured or unsecured, of the Company’s subsidiaries, other than Alexandria Real Estate Equities, L.P.  We used the net proceeds of this offering to prepay the outstanding principal balance of $250.0 million on our unsecured senior bank term loan (“2012 Unsecured Senior Bank Term Loan”) and to reduce the outstanding borrowings on our unsecured senior line of credit.

 

The requirements of the key financial covenants under our unsecured senior notes payable as of September 30, 2012, are as follows:

 

Covenant Ratios (1)

 

Requirement

 

Total Debt to Total Assets

 

Less than or equal to 60%

 

Consolidated EBITDA to Interest Expense

 

Greater than or equal to 1.5x

 

Unencumbered Total Asset Value to Unsecured Debt

 

Greater than or equal to 150%

 

Secured Debt to Total Assets

 

Less than or equal to 40%

 

 

(1)

For a definition of the ratios used in the table above, refer to the Indenture dated February 29, 2012, which governs the unsecured senior notes payable, which was filed as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 29, 2012.

 

In addition, the terms of the Indenture, among other things, limit the ability of the Company, Alexandria Real Estate Equities, L.P., and the Company’s other subsidiaries to (1) consummate a merger, or consolidate or sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, and (2) incur certain secured or unsecured indebtedness.

 

Unsecured senior line of credit and unsecured senior bank term loans

 

In April 2012, we amended our $1.5 billion unsecured senior line of credit, with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. as joint lead arrangers, and certain lenders, to extend the maturity date of our unsecured senior line of credit, provide an accordion option for up to an additional $500 million, and reduce the interest rate for outstanding borrowings. The maturity date of the unsecured senior line of credit was extended to April 2017, assuming we exercise our sole right to extend the maturity date twice by an additional six months after each exercise. Borrowings under the unsecured senior line of credit bear interest at LIBOR or the base rate specified in the amended unsecured senior line of credit and unsecured senior bank term loan agreements, plus in either case a specified margin (the “Applicable Margin”). The Applicable Margin for LIBOR borrowings under the unsecured senior line of credit was set at 1.20%, down from 2.40% in effect immediately prior to the modification. In addition to the Applicable Margin, our unsecured senior line of credit is subject to an annual facility fee of 0.25%.  In connection with the modification of our unsecured senior line of credit in April 2012, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $1.6 million related to the write-off of a portion of unamortized loan fees.

 

In April 2012, we amended our 2016 unsecured senior bank term loan (“2016 Unsecured Senior Bank Term Loan”) and 2017 unsecured senior bank term loan (“2017 Unsecured Senior Bank Term Loan”), conforming the financial covenants contained in our unsecured senior bank term loan agreements to those contained in our amended $1.5 billion unsecured senior line of credit.

 

In February 2012, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $0.6 million related to the write-off of unamortized loan fees as a result of the early repayment of $250.0 million of our 2012 Unsecured Senior Bank Term Loan.  In June 2011, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $1.2 million related to the write-off of unamortized loan fees as a result of the early repayment of $500 million of our 2012 Unsecured Senior Bank Term Loan.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recognized an aggregate loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $5.2 million related to the repurchase, in privately negotiated transactions, of approximately $217.1 million of certain of our 3.70% Unsecured Senior Convertible Notes.

 

During January 2012, we repurchased approximately $83.8 million in principal amount of our 3.70% Unsecured Senior Convertible Notes at par, pursuant to options exercised by holders thereof under the indenture governing the notes.  During April 2012, we repurchased the remaining outstanding $1.0 million in principal amount of the notes.  We did not recognize a gain or loss as a result of either repurchase during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

6.      Interest rate swap agreements

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, our interest rate swap agreements were used primarily to hedge the variable cash flows associated with certain of our existing LIBOR-based variable rate debt, including our unsecured senior line of credit and unsecured senior bank term loans.  The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of our interest rate swap agreements is required to be recognized directly in earnings.  During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, our interest rate swap agreements were 100% effective; because of this, no hedge ineffectiveness was recognized in earnings.  The effective portion of changes in the fair values of our interest rate swap agreements that are designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is classified in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

 

The following table reflects the effective portion of the unrealized loss recognized in other comprehensive loss for our interest rate swaps related to the change in fair value for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 (in thousands):

Losses are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period during which the hedged forecasted transactions affect earnings.  During the next 12 months, we expect to reclassify approximately $16.5 million from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense as an increase to interest expense.  The following table indicates the classification in the condensed consolidated statements of income and the effective portion of the loss reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings for our cash flow hedge contracts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 (in thousands):

7.      Fair value measurements

 

Recurring fair value measurements

 

We are required to disclose fair value information about all financial instruments, whether or not recognized in the balance sheet, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value.  We measure and disclose the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities 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: (1) quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, (2) “significant other observable inputs,” and (3) “significant unobservable inputs.”  “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 that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.  “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 three or nine months ended September 30, 2012.

 

The following tables set forth the assets and liabilities that we measure at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011 (in thousands):

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, tenant receivables, other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and tenant security deposits approximate fair value.  Our marketable securities and our interest rate swap agreements, respectively, have been recorded at fair value.  The fair values of our secured notes payable, unsecured senior notes payable, unsecured senior line of credit, unsecured senior bank term loans, and unsecured senior convertible notes were estimated using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analyses of “significant other observable inputs” such as available market information on discount and borrowing rates with similar terms and maturities.  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.

Fair value measurements for other than on a recurring basis

 

In September 2012, four properties aggregating 504,130 rentable square feet met the classification requirements for held for sale.  During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded impairment charges aggregating approximately $9.8 million to reduce the aggregate carrying value of the properties to the estimated sales price less costs to sell. We used the preliminary sales price estimates based on offers from prospective buyers as a significant observable input (level 2) within the valuation hierarchy to determine the estimated fair value of these assets.

 

8.       Earnings per share

 

We use income from continuing operations attributable to Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc.’s common stockholders as the “control number” in determining whether potential common shares, including potential common shares issuable upon conversion of our 8.00% unsecured senior convertible notes (“8.00% Unsecured Senior Convertible Notes”), are dilutive or antidilutive to earnings per share.  Pursuant to the presentation and disclosure literature on gains or losses on sales or disposals by REITs and earnings per share required by the SEC and the FASB, gains or losses on sales or disposals by a REIT that do not qualify as discontinued operations are classified below (loss) income from discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of income and included in the numerator for the computation of earnings per share for income from continuing operations.

 

The sale of a land parcel related to our investment in an unconsolidated real estate entity in March 2012 did not meet the criteria for discontinued operations because the land parcel did not have significant operations prior to disposition.  Accordingly, in March 2012, we classified the $1.9 million gain on sale of land parcel below (loss) income from discontinued operations, net, in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income, and included the gain in income from continuing operations attributable to Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc.’s common stockholders in the “control number,” or numerator for computation of earnings per share.

 

We account for unvested restricted stock awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends as participating securities and include these securities in the computation of earnings per share using the two-class method.  Under the two-class method, we allocate net income after preferred stock dividends, preferred stock redemption charge, and amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests to common stockholders and unvested restricted stock awards based on their respective participation rights to dividends declared (or accumulated) and undistributed earnings.  Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding determined for the basic earnings per share computation plus the effect of any dilutive securities, including the dilutive effect of stock options using the treasury stock method.

For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, we did not assume conversion of our 8.00% Unsecured Senior Convertible Notes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, since the impact was antidilutive to earnings per share attributable to Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc.’s common stockholders from continuing operations during those periods.

 

For purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share, we did not assume conversion of our series D convertible preferred stock (“Series D Convertible Preferred Stock”) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, since the impact was antidilutive to earnings per share attributable to Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc.’s common stockholders from continuing operations during those periods.

 

Our calculation of weighted average diluted shares for the three and nine months ending September  30, 2011, would include additional shares related to our 3.70% Unsecured Senior Convertible Notes if the average market price of our common stock had been higher than the conversion price ($117.36 as of September 30, 2011).  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the weighted average shares of common stock related to our 3.70% Unsecured Senior Convertible Notes have been excluded from diluted weighted average shares of common stock because the average market price of our common stock was lower than the conversion price and the impact of conversion would have been antidilutive to earnings per share attributable to Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc.’s common stockholders from continuing operations during the period.  In April 2012, we repurchased the remaining outstanding $1.0 million in principal amount of the notes.

In June 2012, we established an “at the market” common stock offering program under which we may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate of $250.0 million of our common stock through our sales agents, BNY Mellon Capital Markets, LLC and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, during a three-year period.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we sold an aggregate of 1,366,977 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $100.0 million at an average stock price of $73.15 and net proceeds of approximately $98.4 million.  This includes the sale of an aggregate of 793,291 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $59.5 million at an average stock price of $74.97 and net proceeds of approximately $58.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012.  As of September 30, 2012, approximately $150.0 million of our common stock remained available for issuance under the “at the market” common stock offering program.

 

6.45% series E preferred stock offering

 

In March 2012, we completed a public offering of 5,200,000 shares of our 6.45% series E cumulative redeemable preferred stock (“Series E Preferred Stock”).  The shares were issued at a price of $25.00 per share, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $124.9 million (after deducting underwriters’ discounts and other offering costs).  The proceeds were initially used to reduce the outstanding borrowings under our unsecured senior line of credit. We then borrowed funds under our unsecured senior line of credit to redeem our 8.375% series C cumulative redeemable preferred stock in April 2012 (“Series C Preferred Stock”).  The dividends on our Series E Preferred Stock are cumulative and accrue from the date of original issuance.  We pay dividends quarterly in arrears at an annual rate of 6.45%, or $1.6125 per share.  Our Series E Preferred Stock has no stated maturity date, is not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption provisions, and is not redeemable before March 15, 2017, except to preserve our status as a REIT.  On and after March 15, 2017, we may, at our option, redeem the Series E Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at any time for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series E Preferred Stock up to, but excluding, the redemption date.  In addition, upon the occurrence of a change of control, we may, at our option, redeem the Series E Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, within 120 days after the first date on which such change of control occurred, by paying $25.00 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends up to, but excluding, the date of redemption.  Investors in our Series E Preferred Stock generally have no voting rights.

8.375% series C preferred stock redemption

 

In April 2012, we redeemed all 5,185,500 outstanding shares of our Series C Preferred Stock at a price equal to $25.00 per share, or approximately $129.6 million in aggregate, and paid $0.5234375 per share, representing accumulated and unpaid dividends to the redemption date on such shares.  We recognized a charge of approximately $6.0 million to net income attributable to Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc.’s common stockholders in March 2012, related to the write-off of original issuance costs of the Series C Preferred Stock.

 

Dividends

 

In September 2012, we declared cash dividends for the third quarter of 2012 on our common stock aggregating approximately $33.8 million, or $0.53 per share.  In September 2012, we also declared cash dividends for the third quarter of 2012 on our Series D Convertible Preferred Stock aggregating approximately $4.4 million, or $0.4375 per share.  Additionally, we declared cash dividends for the third quarter of 2012 on our Series E Preferred Stock aggregating approximately $2.1 million, or $0.403125 per share.  In October 2012, we paid the cash dividends for the third quarter of 2012 on our common stock, Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, and Series E Preferred Stock.

11.             Noncontrolling interests

 

Noncontrolling interests represent the third-party interests in certain entities in which we have a controlling interest.  These entities own 10 properties and two development parcels as of September 30, 2012, and are included in our condensed 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.

 

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 the accompanying condensed 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.  Distributions, profits, and losses related to these entities are allocated in accordance with the respective operating agreements.  If the carrying 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.  As of September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, our redeemable noncontrolling interest balances were approximately $15.6 million and $16.0 million, respectively.  Our remaining noncontrolling interests, aggregating approximately $45.1 million and $42.6 million as of September 30, 2012, and December 31, 2011, respectively, do not have rights to require us to purchase their ownership interests and are classified in total equity in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

15. Subsequent event

 

On October 29, 2012, our property at 450 East 29th Street, the East Tower of the Alexandria Center™ for Life Science – New York City, a multi-tenant building with 309,141 rentable square feet experienced water damage, along with many other properties owned by other landlords in New York City.  Initial assessments have identified minimal damage, with no damage to our building or structure.  While there has been some water damage in the underground parking area at our property, we are still assessing the impact.  Due to the recent occurrence of the water damage, we do not currently have an estimate of the costs to repair this damage, and we have provided each of the relevant insurance carriers a notice of claim.

·                  Our failure to successfully complete and lease our existing space held for redevelopment and new properties acquired for that purpose and any properties undergoing development;

·                  Significant decreases in our active development, active redevelopment, or preconstruction activities, resulting in significant increases in our interest, operating, and payroll expenses;

·                  Our failure to successfully operate or lease acquired properties;

·                  The financial condition of our insurance carriers;

·                  General and local economic conditions;

·                  Government changes to the healthcare system and its negative impact on our client tenants;

·                  Adverse developments concerning the life science industry and/or our life science client tenants;

·                  The nature and extent of future competition;

·                  Lower rental rates, and/or higher vacancy rates;

·                  Failure to renew or replace expiring leases;

·                  Defaults on or non-renewal of leases by client tenants;

·                  Availability of and our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel;

·                  Our failure to comply with laws or changes in law;

·                  Certain ownership interests outside the United States that may subject us to different or greater risks than those associated with our domestic operations;

·                  Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;

·                  Security breaches through cyber-attacks or cyber-intrusions that could disrupt our information technology networks and related systems; and

·                  Changes in the method of determining LIBOR rates which may adversely affect the fair value of our financial instruments and our earnings.

Table of Contents

 

This list of risks and uncertainties is not exhaustive.  Additional information regarding risk factors that may affect us is included under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.  Readers of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should also read our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and other publicly filed documents for further discussion regarding such factors.

 

As used in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, references to the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. and its subsidiaries.  The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.  References to “GAAP” used herein refer to United States generally accepted accounting principles.

 

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 the largest owner, preeminent REIT, and leading life science real estate company focused principally on science-driven cluster development through the ownership, operation, management, selective acquisition, development, and redevelopment of properties containing life science laboratory space.  We are the leading provider of high-quality environmentally sustainable real estate, technical infrastructure, and services to the broad and diverse life science industry.  Client tenants include leading multinational pharmaceutical companies, academic and medical institutions, public and private biotechnology entities, United States (“U.S.”) government research agencies, medical device companies, industrial biotech companies, venture capital firms, and life science product and service companies.  Our primary business objective is to maximize stakeholder value by providing our stakeholders with the greatest possible total return based on a multifaceted platform of internal and external growth.  Our operating platform is based on the principle of “clustering,” with assets and operations located adjacent to life science entities, driving growth and technological advances within each cluster.

 

As of September 30, 2012, we had 177 properties aggregating approximately 16.6 million rentable square feet, composed of approximately 14.4 million rentable square feet of operating properties, approximately 1.5 million rentable square feet undergoing active development, and approximately 0.7 million rentable square feet undergoing active redevelopment.  Our operating properties were approximately 93.0% leased as of September 30, 2012.  Our primary sources of revenues are rental income and tenant recoveries from leases of our properties.  The comparability of financial data from period to period is affected by the timing of our property acquisition, development, and redevelopment activities.

Projected results

 

Based on our current view of existing market conditions and certain current assumptions, we expect that our earnings per share attributable to Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc.’s common stockholders – diluted and funds from operations (“FFO”) per share attributable to Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc.’s common stockholders – diluted for the year ended December 31, 2012, will be as set forth in the table below.  The table below provides a reconciliation of FFO per share attributable to Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc.’s common stockholders – diluted, as adjusted, a non-GAAP measure, to earnings per share, the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Net operating income, net income, and FFO for the three months ended December 31, 2012

 

As of September 30, 2012, we had approximately $304.6 million and $277.5 million of construction in progress related to our five North American development and eight North American redevelopment projects, respectively. The completion of these projects, along with recently delivered projects, certain future projects, and contributions from same properties, is expected to contribute significant increases in rental income, net operating income, and cash flows.  Net operating income from continuing operations is projected to increase from $100.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, to a range from $107.5 million to $109.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012 (after considering approximately $3.0 million in required reclassifications for discontinued operations.)  Operating performance assumptions related to the completion of our North America development and redevelopment projects, including the timing of initial occupancy, stabilization dates, and Initial Stabilized Yields, are included on page 51.  Certain key assumptions regarding our projections, including the impact of various development and redevelopment projects, are included in the tables below.

 

The completion of our development and redevelopment projects will result in increased interest expense and other direct project costs, because these project costs will no longer qualify for capitalization and these costs will be expensed as incurred.  Our projections for general and administrative expenses, capitalization of interest, and interest expense, net, are included in the tables on the preceding page and below.  Our projections of net operating income are subject to a number of variables and uncertainties, including those discussed under the “Forward-looking Statements” section of Part I, the “Risk Factors” section of Item 1A, and the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section under Item 7, of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.  To the extent our full year earnings guidance is updated during the year, we will provide additional disclosure supporting reasons for any significant changes to such guidance.  Further, we believe net operating income is a key performance indicator and is useful to investors as a performance measure because, when compared across periods, net operating income reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, and operating costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from income from continuing operations.

Leasing

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, we executed a total of 47 leases for approximately 732,000 rentable square feet at 34 different properties (excluding month-to-month leases).  Of this total, approximately 352,000 rentable square feet related to new or renewal leases of previously leased space (renewed/re-leased space), and approximately 380,000 rentable square feet related to developed, redeveloped, or previously vacant space.  Of the 380,000 rentable square feet, approximately 266,000 rentable square feet related to our development or redevelopment programs, and the remaining approximately 114,000 rentable square feet related to previously vacant space.  Rental rates for this renewed/re-leased space were, on average, approximately 2.9% lower on a cash basis and approximately 7.6% higher on a GAAP basis than rental rates for the respective expiring leases.  Additionally, we granted tenant concessions, including free rent averaging approximately 1.8 months, with respect to the 732,000 rentable square feet leased during the three months ended September 30, 2012.  Approximately 75% of the number of leases executed during the three months ended September 30, 2012, did not include concessions for free rent.  Weighted average lease term for the three months ended September 30, 2012, was 6.8 years.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we executed a total of 146 leases for approximately 2,603,000 rentable square feet at 77 different properties (excluding month-to-month leases).  Of this total, approximately 1,161,000 rentable square feet related to new or renewal leases of previously leased space (renewed/re-leased space), and approximately 1,442,000 rentable square feet related to developed, redeveloped, or previously vacant space.  Of the 1,442,000 rentable square feet, approximately 829,000 rentable square feet related to our development or redevelopment programs, and the remaining approximately 613,000 rentable square feet related to previously vacant space.  Rental rates for this renewed/re-leased space were, on average, approximately 1.9% lower on a cash basis and approximately 5.9% higher on a GAAP basis than rental rates for the respective expiring leases.  Excluding one lease for 48,000 rentable square feet related to one client tenant in the Research Triangle Park market and one lease for 71,000 rentable square feet related to one client tenant in the Suburban Washington, D.C., market, rental rates for renewed/re-leased space were, on average, 0.1% higher and 7.3% higher than rental rates for expiring leases on a cash and GAAP basis, respectively.  Additionally, we granted tenant concessions, including free rent averaging approximately 1.7 months, with respect to the 2,603,000 rentable square feet leased during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  Approximately 71% of the number of leases executed during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, did not include concessions for free rent.  Weighted average lease term for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, was 7.1 years.

 

As of September 30, 2012, approximately 94% of our leases (on a rentable square footage basis) were triple net leases, requiring client 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.  Additionally, approximately 96% of our leases (on a rentable square footage basis) contained effective annual rent escalations that were either fixed or indexed based on a consumer price index or another index, and approximately 91% of our leases (on a rentable square footage basis) provided for the recapture of certain capital expenditures.

Value-added projects

 

A key component of our business model is our value-added development and redevelopment programs. These programs are focused on providing high-quality, generic, and reusable life science laboratory space to meet the real estate requirements of a wide range of clients in the life science industry.  Upon completion, each value-added project is expected to generate significant revenues and cash flows.  Our development and redevelopment projects are generally in locations that are highly desirable to life science entities, which we believe results in higher occupancy levels, longer lease terms, and higher rental income and returns.

 

Development projects generally consist of the ground-up development of generic and reusable life science laboratory facilities.  Redevelopment projects generally consist of the permanent change in use of office, warehouse, and shell space into generic life science laboratory space, including the conversion of single-tenancy space to multi-tenancy space, or vice versa.  We anticipate execution of new active development projects for aboveground vertical construction of new life science laboratory space generally only with pre-leasing.  Preconstruction activities include entitlements, permitting, design, site work, and other activities prior to commencement of vertical construction of aboveground shell and core improvements.  Our objective also includes the advancement of preconstruction efforts to reduce the time required to deliver projects to prospective client 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 for the life science industry and are expected to generate significant revenue and cash flows for the Company.

 

Development and redevelopment projects in Asia represent development opportunities focusing on life science laboratory space for our current client tenants and other life science entities.  These projects focus on real estate investments with targeted returns on investment greater than returns expected in the U.S.  We have approximately 422,000 square feet undergoing construction in India.  Additionally, we have a two-building development project located in North China aggregating approximately 309,000 rentable square feet undergoing construction.  Our development, redevelopment, and preconstruction projects as well as certain real estate in Asia are classified as construction in progress.

(1)         As of September 30, 2012, 96% of our overall leases contained annual rent escalations that were either fixed or based on a consumer price index or another index.  Our Initial Stabilized Yield on a cash basis reflects cash rents upon stabilization and does not reflect contractual rent escalations beyond the stabilization date.  We expect, on average, our contractual cash rents related to our value-added projects to increase over time.

(2)         The cash and GAAP Initial Stabilized Yields related to the development of 499 Illinois Street declined by approximately 0.3% and 0.2%, respectively, to allow for a slightly longer absorption period.  Despite this change, we still expect to achieve overall yields for the entire project (including the occupied portion of 409 Illinois Street) within our original expectations of 6.5%-7.0% and 7.2%-7.6% for cash and GAAP, respectively.

(3)         Funding for this project will be provided primarily by the $55.0 million secured construction loan we closed in June 2012.

(4)         As of the period end, some portion of the real estate basis associated with the rentable square feet under development or redevelopment was classified as in service because activities necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use were no longer in process.  In the near future, we anticipate recommencing activities necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use upon execution of leasing and final decisions related to the design of each space.

As of September 30, 2012, our rental properties, net, in Asia, were made up of five operating properties aggregating approximately 592,000 square feet, with occupancy of 68%.  Annualized base rent of our operating properties in Asia was approximately $4.2 million as of September 30, 2012. Our primary sources of revenues are rental income and tenant recoveries from leases of our properties.  The comparability of financial data from period to period is affected by the timing of our property acquisition, development, and redevelopment activities.

Investment-grade ratings and key credit metrics

 

In July 2011, we received investment-grade ratings from two major rating agencies.  Receipt of our investment-grade ratings was a significant milestone that we believe will provide long-term value to our stakeholders.  Key strengths of our balance sheet and business that highlight our investment-grade credit profile include balance sheet liquidity, a diverse and creditworthy client tenant base, well-located properties proximate to leading research institutions, favorable lease terms, stable occupancy and cash flows, and demonstrated life science and real estate expertise.  This significant milestone broadens our access to another key source of debt capital and allows us to continue to pursue our long-term capital, investment, and operating strategies.  The issuance of investment-grade unsecured senior notes payable has allowed us to begin the transition from bank debt financing to unsecured senior notes payable, from variable rate debt to fixed rate debt, and from short-term debt to long-term debt.  While this transition of bank debt is in process, we will utilize interest rate swap agreements to reduce our interest rate risk.  We expect to keep our unhedged variable rate debt at less than 20% of our total debt.

As a result of changes within our total property portfolio, the financial data presented in the table on the following page shows significant changes in revenue and expenses from period to period. In order to supplement an evaluation of our results of operations over a given period, we analyze the operating performance for all properties that were fully operating for the entire periods presented (herein referred to as “Same Properties”) separate from properties acquired subsequent to the first period presented, properties undergoing active development and active redevelopment, and corporate entities (legal entities performing general and administrative functions), which are excluded from same property results (herein referred to as “Non-Same Properties”).  Additionally, rental revenues from lease termination fees, if any, are excluded from the results of the Same Properties.  For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, our Same Properties consisted of 136 operating properties aggregating approximately 10.0 million rentable square feet with occupancy of 93.7% and 93.2% for each period, respectively.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, our Same Properties consisted of 133 operating properties aggregating approximately 9.8 million rentable square feet with occupancy of 93.7% and 93.5% for each period, respectively.

 

Net operating income is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to income from continuing operations, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, plus loss on early extinguishment of debt, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and general and administrative expense.  We believe net operating income provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because it reflects primarily those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level.  Therefore, we believe net operating income is a useful measure for evaluating the operating performance of our real estate assets.  Net operating income on a cash basis is net operating income on a GAAP basis, adjusted to exclude the effect of straight-line rent 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 adjustments to rental revenue.

 

Further, we believe net operating income is useful to investors as a performance measure, because when compared across periods, net operating income reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, and operating costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from income from continuing operations.  Net operating income excludes certain components from income from continuing operations 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 operating performance at the property level.  Property operating expenses that are included in determining net operating income 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, including stock compensation, corporate insurance, professional fees, office rent, and office supplies, that are incurred as part of corporate office management. Net operating income presented by us may not be comparable to net operating income reported by other equity REITs that define net operating income differently.  We believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of our operating results, net operating income should be examined in conjunction with income from continuing operations as presented in our condensed consolidated statements of income.  Net operating income should not be considered as an alternative to income from continuing operations as an indication of our performance, or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity, or our ability to make distributions.

Rental revenues

 

Total rental revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2012, increased by $6.0 million, or 6%, to $108.4 million, compared to $102.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011.  The increase was due to rental revenues from our Non-Same Properties, including eight development and redevelopment projects that were completed and delivered after July 1, 2011, and three operating properties that were acquired after July 1, 2011.

Tenant recoveries

 

Tenant recoveries for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011, increased by $1.2 million, or 4%, to $34.4 million, compared to an increase of $3.7 million, or 9%, of rental operating expenses.  Non-Same Properties tenant recoveries increased by $2.1 million, while Non-Same Properties rental operating expenses increased by $3.5 million, primarily due to some vacancies related to development and redevelopment properties delivered into operating properties since July 1, 2011, and an increase in certain non-recoverable expenses.  As of September 30, 2012, approximately 94% of our leases (on a rentable square footage basis) were triple net leases, requiring 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 three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, of $2.6 million and $2.5 million, respectively, represents construction management fees, interest, and investment income.  The increase of approximately $0.1 million is primarily due to an increase in construction management fees and interest income, offset by lower investment income, for the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011.

 

Rental operating expenses

 

Total rental operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012, increased by $3.7 million, or 9%, to $44.6 million, compared to $40.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011.  Approximately $3.5 million of the increase was due to an increase in rental operating expenses from our Non-Same Properties, primarily related to eight development and redevelopment projects that were completed and delivered after July 1, 2011, and three operating properties that were acquired after July 1, 2011.  The remaining $0.2 million increase was due to increases in rental operating expenses from our Same Properties.  The increase in rental operating expenses at our Same Properties was primarily due to normal year-over-year increases in repairs and maintenance expenses and rental expense related to ground leases.

 

General and administrative expenses

 

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2012, increased by $2.2 million, or 21%, to $12.5 million, compared to $10.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011.  The increase was primarily due to an increase in payroll expenses related to an increase in the number of employees related to the growth in both the depth and breadth of our operations in multiple markets.  Since July 1, 2011, the number of our employees has increased by approximately 14%.  As a percentage of total revenues, general and administrative expenses were 8.6% and 7.5%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

 

Interest expense

 

Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012, increased by $2.8 million, or 20%, to $17.1 million, compared to $14.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, detailed as follows (in thousands):

Interest expense increased primarily due to the issuance of our unsecured senior notes payable and an increase in the balance outstanding on our unsecured senior bank term loans since July 1, 2011.  This increase was partially offset by repayments of five secured notes payable approximating $45.2 million and repurchases of our 3.70% unsecured senior convertible notes (“3.70% Unsecured Senior Convertible Notes”) aggregating $203.4 million since July 1, 2011.  Interest expense related to our unsecured senior line of credit also decreased, primarily due to a lower average balance outstanding during the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2011, and a decrease in effective interest rate from 2.52% as of September 30, 2011, to 1.43% as of September 30, 2012.   We have entered into certain interest rate swap agreements to hedge a portion of our exposure primarily related to variable interest rates associated with our unsecured senior line of credit and unsecured senior bank term loans (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources - Contractual Obligations – Interest Rate Swap Agreements”).

 

Depreciation and amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended September 30, 2012, increased by $8.5 million, or 22%, to $47.2 million, compared to $38.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011.  The increase resulted primarily from increased depreciation related to building improvements and other assets, including eight development and redevelopment projects that were completed and delivered after July 1, 2011, and three operating properties that were acquired after July 1, 2011.

 

Loss on early extinguishment of debt

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we did not recognize any loss on early extinguishment of debt.  During the three months ended September 30, 2011, we recognized an aggregate loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $2.7 million related to the repurchase, in privately negotiated transactions, of approximately $121.1 million principal amount of our 3.70% Unsecured Convertible Notes for an aggregate cash price of approximately $122.8 million.

 

(Loss) income from discontinued operations, net

 

Loss from discontinued operations, net, of $5.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, includes the results of the operations of four operating properties that were classified as “held for sale” as of September 30, 2012, and the results of operations of five properties sold during the three months ended September 30, 2012.  Income from discontinued operations, net, of $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, includes the results of operations of four properties that were classified as “held for sale” as of September 30, 2012, two properties held for sale as of September 30, 2011, and the results of operations of five properties sold during the three months ended September 30, 2012.

 

Impairment of real estate

 

In September 2012, four properties aggregating 504,130 rentable square feet met the classification requirements for held for sale.  During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded impairment charges aggregating approximately $9.8 million to reduce the aggregate carrying value of the properties to the estimated sales price less costs to sell. We used the preliminary sales price estimates based on offers from prospective buyers as a significant observable input (level 2) within the valuation hierarchy to determine the estimated fair value of these assets.

Rental revenues

 

Total rental revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, increased by $8.7 million, or 3%, to $318.2 million, compared to $309.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  The increase was due to rental revenues from our Non-Same Properties, including nine development and redevelopment projects that were completed and delivered after January 1, 2011, and six operating properties that were acquired after January 1, 2011.

Tenant recoveries

 

Total tenant recoveries for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, increased by $3.7 million, or 4%, to $99.0 million, compared to $95.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  Same Properties tenant recoveries decreased by $0.8 million while Same Properties rental operating expenses increased by $2.3 million, primarily due to some vacancies and an increase in certain non-recoverable operating expenses from our Same Properties.  The increase of approximately $4.5 million from our Non-Same Properties tenant recoveries was primarily due to nine development and redevelopment projects that were completed and delivered after January 1, 2011, and six operating properties that were acquired after January 1, 2011.  As of September 30, 2012, approximately 94% of our leases (on a rentable square footage basis) were triple net leases, requiring 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 nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, of $14.7 million and $4.2 million, respectively, represents construction management fees, interest, and investment income.  The increase of approximately $10.5 million is primarily due to an increase in investment income, including a realized gain of $5.8 million on an equity investment primarily related to one non-tenant life science entity, plus an increase in interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

 

Rental operating expenses

 

Total rental operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, increased by $9.9 million, or 8%, to $127.9 million, compared to $118.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  Approximately $7.6 million of the increase was due to an increase in rental operating expenses from our Non-Same Properties, primarily related to nine development and redevelopment projects that were completed and delivered after January 1, 2011, and six operating properties that were acquired after January 1, 2011.  The remaining $2.3 million increase was due to increases in rental operating expenses from our Same Properties.  The increase in rental operating expenses at our Same Properties was primarily due to normal year-over-year increases in repairs and maintenance expenses.

 

General and administrative expenses

 

General and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, increased by $4.7 million, or 15%, to $35.2 million, compared to $30.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  The increase was primarily due to costs associated with the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement with our Chief Executive Officer to provide the Company with a performance-based compensation program.  Additionally, the increase in general and administrative expenses was related to an increase in the number of employees related to the growth in both the depth and breadth of our operations in multiple markets.  Since September 30, 2011, the number of our employees has increased by approximately 11%.  As a percentage of total revenues, general and administrative expenses were 8.1% and 7.5%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

 

Interest expense

 

Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, increased by $2.6 million, or 5%, to $51.2 million, compared to $48.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, detailed as follows (in thousands):

Interest expense increased primarily due to the issuance of our unsecured senior notes payable and an increase in the balance outstanding on our unsecured senior bank term loans since January 1, 2011.  This increase was partially offset by repayments of seven secured notes payable approximating $55.7 million and repurchases of all our 3.70% Unsecured Senior Convertible Notes aggregating $295.1 million since January 1, 2011.  Interest expense related to our unsecured senior line of credit also decreased, primarily due to a lower average balance outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and a decrease in effective interest rate from 2.52% as of September 30, 2011 to 1.43% as of September 30, 2012.   We have entered into certain interest rate swap agreements to hedge a portion of our exposure primarily related to variable interest rates associated with our unsecured senior line of credit and unsecured senior bank term loans (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources - Contractual Obligations – Interest Rate Swap Agreements”).  Capitalized interest for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, increased by $3.0 million, or 7% to $47.9 million, compared to $44.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, primarily due to increased development and redevelopment activities partially offset by deliveries made since January 1, 2011, and a reduction of our overall interest rates during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, due to our refinancing activities.

 

Depreciation and amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, increased by $27.5 million, or 24%, to $140.8 million, compared to $113.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  The increase resulted primarily from increased depreciation related to building improvements and other assets, including nine development and redevelopment projects that were completed and delivered after January 1, 2011, and six operating properties that were acquired after January 1, 2011.  Depreciation also increased as a result of depreciation adjustments necessary to reduce the carrying amount of buildings and improvements to zero in connection with planned redevelopments.

 

Loss on early extinguishment of debt

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $2.2 million, including $1.6 million related to the write-off of unamortized loan fees upon modification of our unsecured senior line of credit and $0.6 million related to the write-off of unamortized loan fees resulting from the early repayment of $250.0 million of our 2012 Unsecured Senior Bank Term Loan.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recognized losses on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $6.5 million, composed of an aggregate loss of $5.2 million related to the repurchases, in privately negotiated transactions, of approximately $217.1 million principal amount of our 3.70% Unsecured Convertible Notes for an aggregate cash price of approximately $221.4 million, and a $1.3 million loss related to the write-off of unamortized loan fees upon the early repayment of $500 million of our 2012 Unsecured Term Loan.

 

Income from discontinued operations, net

 

Income from discontinued operations, net, of $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, includes the results of the operations of four operating properties that were classified as “held for sale” as of September 30, 2012, and the results of operations of six properties sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  Income from discontinued operations, net, of $7.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, includes the results of operations of four properties that were classified as “held for sale” as of September 30, 2012, two properties held for sale as of September 30, 2011, and the results of operations of six properties sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

 

Impairment of real estate

 

In September 2012, four properties aggregating 504,130 rentable square feet met the classification requirements for held for sale.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded impairment charges aggregating approximately $9.8 million to reduce the aggregate carrying value of the properties to the estimated sales price less costs to sell. We used the preliminary sales price estimates based on offers from prospective buyers as a significant observable input (level 2) within the valuation hierarchy to determine the estimated fair value of these assets.

Liquidity and capital resources

 

Overview

 

We expect to meet certain long-term liquidity requirements, such as requirements for property acquisitions, development, redevelopment, other construction projects, capital improvements, tenant improvements, leasing costs, non-incremental revenue generating expenditures, and scheduled debt maturities, through net cash provided by operating activities, periodic asset sales, and long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness, including borrowings under our unsecured senior line of credit, unsecured senior bank term loans, and the 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:

 

·                  Reduce leverage as a percentage of total gross assets and improve our ratio of debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization;

·                  Maintain diverse sources of capital, including sources from net cash flows from operating activities, unsecured debt, secured debt, selective asset sales, joint ventures, preferred stock, and common stock;

·                  Manage the amount of debt maturing in a single year;

·                  Refinance outstanding medium-term variable rate bank debt with longer-term fixed rate debt;

·                  Mitigate unhedged variable rate debt exposure by transitioning our balance sheet debt from short-term and medium-term variable rate bank debt to long-term unsecured fixed rate debt and utilizing interest rate swap agreements in the interim period during this transition of debt;

·                  Maintain adequate liquidity from net cash provided by operating activities, cash and cash equivalents, and available borrowing capacity under our unsecured senior line of credit;

·                  Maintain available borrowing capacity under our unsecured senior line of credit in excess of 50% of the total commitments of $1.5 billion, except temporarily as necessary;

·                  Fund preferred stock and common stock dividends from net cash provided by operating activities;

·                  Retain positive cash flows from operating activities after payment of dividends for reinvestment in acquisitions and/or development and redevelopment projects; and

·                  Reduce our non-income-producing assets as a percentage of our gross investment in real estate.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, increased by $47.5 million, or 26%, to $227.5 million, compared to $180.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  The increase resulted primarily from changes in assets and liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to the same period in 2011. Excluding the increase in operating cash flow from changes in operating assets and liabilities, cash flow from operations increased by $0.3 million, to $215.1 million, compared to $214.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, primarily due to the timing of acquisitions and dispositions and the start of and completion of development and redevelopment properties since January 1, 2011.  We believe our cash flows from operating activities provide a stable source of cash to fund operating expenses.  As of September 30, 2012, approximately 94% of our leases (on a rentable square footage basis) were triple net leases, requiring client 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.  Our average occupancy rate for operating properties as of September 30, 2012, and December 31 of each year from 2000 to 2011 was approximately 94.9 %.  Our average occupancy rate for operating and redevelopment properties as of September 30, 2012, and December 31 of each year from 2000 to 2011 was approximately 88.7%.

 

Investing activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, was $408.4 million, compared to $595.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  This change consisted of the following amounts (in thousands):

The change in net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, is primarily due to a lower investment amount in property acquisitions in the nine months ended September 30, 2012, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011, offset by increased capital expenditures related to our development and redevelopment projects during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

 

Real estate asset sales

 

See discussion in “Sources of Capital – Real Estate Asset Sales.”

 

Acquisitions

 

In April 2012, we acquired 3013/3033 Science Park Road located in the San Diego market, which consists of two life science laboratory buildings aggregating 176,500 rentable square feet, for approximately $13.7 million.  The property was 100% leased on a short-term basis, and thereafter, we expect to redevelop approximately 98,000 rentable square feet.  The remaining square footage will be classified as future developable square feet once the existing client tenant vacates.  We expect to provide an estimate of our initial stabilized yields in the future upon commencement of development/redevelopment activity.  Initial Stabilized yield is calculated as the quotient of net operating income and our investment in the property at stabilization (“Initial Stabilized Yield”).

 

Development and redevelopment

 

As of September 30, 2012, 96% of our overall leases contained annual rent escalations that were either fixed or based on a consumer price index or another index.  Our Initial Stabilized Yield on a cash basis reflects cash rents upon stabilization and does not reflect contractual rent escalations beyond the stabilization date.  We expect, on average, our contractual cash rents related to our value-added projects to increase over time.

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we executed leases aggregating 266,000 and 829,000 rentable square feet, respectively, related to our development and redevelopment projects.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2012, we expect to commence a ground-up development of a multi-tenant laboratory building with 419,806 rentable square feet at 430 East 29th Street, the West Tower of the Alexandria Center™ for Life Science – New York City.  We expect to provide an estimate of our Initial Stabilized Yields next quarter upon commencement of ground-up development.

From November 2011 to September 2012, we completed the redevelopment of 279,138 rentable square feet, including the completion of 189,562 rentable square feet in September 2012, at 10300 Campus Point Drive, located in the San Diego market.  This property is a multi-tenant campus with 449,759 rentable square feet that is 96% leased to (1) Eli Lilly and Company, (2) The Regents of the University of California, (3) Celgene Corporation, and (4) Covance Inc.  The Initial Stabilized Yield on a cash and GAAP basis for the 279,138 rentable square feet redevelopment project was approximately 7.9% and 7.7%, respectively.

 

In September 2012, we completed the development of 4755 Nexus Center Drive, located in the San Diego market, a single-tenant building with 45,255 rentable square feet that is 100% leased to Optimer Pharmaceuticals, Inc.  The Initial Stabilized Yield on a cash and GAAP basis for this project was approximately 6.8% and 7.5%, respectively.

 

In June 2012, we completed the redevelopment of 3530/3550 John Hopkins Court, located in the San Diego market, a multi-tenant campus with 98,320 rentable square feet that is 100% leased to (1) Genomics Institute of the Novartis Research Foundation, a non-profit research institute, and (2) a leading industrial biotechnology company.  The Initial Stabilized Yield on a cash and GAAP basis for this project was approximately 8.9% and 9.1%, respectively.

 

In April 2012, we completed the development of a building located in the Canadian market with 26,426 rentable square feet that is 100% leased to GlaxoSmithKline plc.  The Initial Stabilized Yield on a cash and GAAP basis for this project was approximately 7.7% and 8.3%, respectively.

 

In April 2012, we commenced ground-up development of 360 Longwood Avenue, located in the Longwood Medical Area of the Greater Boston market, our unconsolidated joint venture development project with 414,000 rentable square feet that is 37% pre-leased to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Inc.  Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Inc. also has an option to lease an additional two floors of approximately 99,000 rentable square feet, or an additional 24% of the total rentable square feet of the project.  We expect to achieve an unlevered Initial Stabilized Yield on a cash and GAAP basis in a range from 8.1% to 8.5% and 8.7% to 9.1%, respectively.  Funding for this project is provided primarily by capital from our joint venture partner and a $213.2 million non-recourse secured construction loan.  Additionally, our share of the future funding is expected to be less than the $22.3 million distribution we received in March 2012, upon admittance of the new partner and refinancing of the project.

 

In January 2012, we commenced a ground-up development of a single-tenant building with 170,618 rentable square feet at 259 East Grand Avenue located in the San Francisco Bay market that is 100% pre-leased to Onyx Pharmaceuticals Inc.  We expect to achieve an Initial Stabilized Yield on both a cash and GAAP basis for this property in a range from 7.8% to 8.2%.  Funding for this project will be provided primarily by the $55.0 million secured construction loan we closed in June 2012.

Closed secured construction loan for development project in San Francisco Bay market

 

In June 2012, we closed a secured construction loan with aggregate commitments of $55.0 million.  The construction loan matures in July 2015, and we have an option to extend the stated maturity date of July 1, 2015, by one year, twice, to July 1, 2017.  The construction loan will be used to fund the majority of the cost to complete the development of a 100% pre-leased life science laboratory building with 170,618 rentable square feet at 259 East Grand Avenue in the San Francisco Bay market.  The construction loan bears interest at the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or the base rate specified in the construction loan agreement, defined as the higher of either the prime rate being offered by our lender or the federal funds rate in effect on the day of borrowing (“Base Rate”), plus in either case a specified margin of 1.50% for LIBOR borrowings or 0.25% for Base Rate borrowings.  As of September 30, 2012, commitments of $53.0 million were available.

 

4.60% unsecured senior notes payable offering

 

In February 2012, we completed the issuance of our 4.60% unsecured senior notes (“4.60% Unsecured Senior Notes”) due in February 2022.  Net proceeds of approximately $544.6 million were used to repay certain outstanding variable rate bank debt, including the entire $250.0 million of our 2012 Unsecured Senior Bank Term Loan, and approximately $294.6 million of outstanding borrowings under our unsecured senior line of credit.  In connection with the retirement of our 2012 Unsecured Senior Bank Term Loan, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $0.6 million related to the write-off of unamortized loan fees for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

In February 2012, we repaid the entire $250.0 million outstanding balance on our 2012 Unsecured Senior Bank Term Loan.  In connection with the retirement of our 2012 Unsecured Senior Bank Term Loan, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $0.6 million related to the write-off of unamortized loan fees for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

 

In April 2012, we amended our $1.5 billion unsecured senior line of credit with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. as joint lead arrangers, and certain lenders, to extend the maturity date of our unsecured senior line of credit, provide an accordion option for up to an additional $500 million, and reduce the interest rate for outstanding borrowings.  The maturity date of the unsecured senior line of credit was extended to April 2017, assuming we exercise our sole right to extend the stated maturity date twice by an additional six months after each exercise.  Borrowings under the unsecured senior line of credit will bear interest at LIBOR or the base rate specified in the amended unsecured senior line of credit agreement, plus in either case a specified margin (the “Applicable Margin”).  The Applicable Margin for LIBOR borrowings under the unsecured senior line of credit was set at 1.20%, down from 2.40% in effect immediately prior to the modification.  In addition to the Applicable Margin, our unsecured senior line of credit is subject to an annual facility fee of 0.25%.  In connection with the modification of our unsecured senior line of credit in April 2012, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $1.6 million related to the write-off of a portion of unamortized loan fees for the three months ended June 30, 2012.

“At the market” common stock offering program

 

In June 2012, we established an “at the market” common stock offering program under which we may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate of $250.0 million of our common stock through our sales agents, BNY Mellon Capital Markets, LLC and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, during a three-year period.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we sold an aggregate of 1,366,977 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $100.0 million at an average stock price of $73.15 and net proceeds of approximately $98.4 million.  This includes the sale of an aggregate of 793,291 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $59.5 million at an average stock price of $74.97 and net proceeds of approximately $58.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2012.  As of September 30, 2012, approximately $150.0 million of our common stock remained available for issuance under the “at the market” common stock offering program.

 

Retirement of 3.70% unsecured senior convertible notes

 

During January 2012, we repurchased approximately $83.8 million in principal amount of our 3.70% Unsecured Senior Convertible Notes at par, pursuant to options exercised by holders thereof under the indenture governing the notes.  During April 2012, we repurchased the remaining outstanding $1.0 million in principal amount of the notes.  In aggregate, we repurchased approximately $84.8 million in principal amount of the notes and we did not recognize a gain or loss as a result during the six months ended June 30, 2012.

 

6.45% series E preferred stock offering

 

In March 2012, we completed a public offering of 5,200,000 shares of our series E preferred stock (“Series E Preferred Stock”).  The shares were issued at a price of $25.00 per share, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $124.9 million (after deducting underwriters’ discounts and other offering costs).  The proceeds were initially used to reduce the outstanding borrowings under our unsecured senior line of credit. We then borrowed funds under our unsecured senior line of credit to redeem our series C preferred stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”).

8.375% series C preferred stock redemption

 

In April 2012, we redeemed all 5,185,500 outstanding shares of our Series C Preferred Stock at a price equal to $25.00 per share, or approximately $129.6 million in aggregate, and paid $0.5234375 per share, representing accumulated and unpaid dividends to the redemption date on such shares.  We recognized a charge of approximately $6.0 million to net income attributable to Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc.’s common stockholders in March 2012, related to the write-off of original issuance costs of the Series C Preferred Stock.

Represents an estimate of sources of capital from pending asset and land sales.  As noted in “Real Estate Asset Sales” on page 70, we have other incremental dispositions in process aggregating $84.5 million, a portion of which may close during the three months ended December 31, 2012.

See “Investment to Complete” columns in the “Development and Redevelopment Projects in North America” table on page 51 for additional details underlying this estimate.  The decrease of approximately $50 million from the approximately $646 million previously reported on July 30, 2012, is primarily attributable to the timing of the spending moving from the three months ended December 31, 2012, to the year ended December 31, 2013.

Based upon contractually scheduled payments or maturity dates.

 

The key assumptions behind the sources and uses of capital in the table above are a favorable capital market environment and performance of our core operations in areas such as delivery of current and future development and redevelopment projects, leasing activity, and renewals.  Our expected sources and uses of capital are subject to a number of variables and uncertainties, including those discussed under the “Forward-looking statements” section of Part I, the “Risk Factors” section of Item 1A, and the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section under Item 7, of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.  We expect to update our forecast of sources and uses of capital on a quarterly basis.

Sources of capital

 

Unsecured senior line of credit

 

We use our unsecured senior line of credit to fund working capital, construction activities, and, from time to time, acquisition of properties.  As of September 30, 2012, we had $1.1 billion available under our $1.5 billion unsecured senior line of credit.

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

As of September 30, 2012, we had approximately $94.9 million of cash and cash equivalents.  We expect existing cash and cash equivalents, and cash flows from operations, to continue to be sufficient to fund our operating activities and cash commitments for investing and financing activities, such as regular quarterly dividends, scheduled debt repayments, and material capital expenditures, for at least the next 12 months, and thereafter for the foreseeable future.

Real estate asset sales

 

In September 2012, four properties aggregating 504,130 rentable square feet met the classification requirements for held for sale. The current buyers are expected to reposition these assets and/or incur significant investments to re-tenant the properties. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded impairment charges aggregating approximately $9.8 million to reduce the aggregate carrying value of the properties to the estimated sales price less costs to sell.  The following table represents the completed and projected real estate asset sales as of September 30, 2012 (in thousands, except per square foot amounts):

The weighted average capitalization rate (annualized GAAP NOI divided by sales price) related to sales of income-producing assets in the nine months ended September 30, 2012, was 10.4%.

(8)

Includes a $13.3 million amortizing secured note receivable due in 2014.

(9)

Includes four properties, which the buyers expect to renovate. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized an aggregate charge for impairment of real estate of approximately $9.8 million to adjust the carrying values of the four properties to their fair value, less costs to sell. We may receive a note receivable in connection with sale of one property. One sale may close during the three months ended December 31, 2012.

 

Secured construction loans

 

In June 2012, we closed a secured construction loan with aggregate commitments of $55.0 million.  The construction loan matures in July 2015, and we have an option to extend the stated maturity date of July 1, 2015, by one year, twice, to July 1, 2017.  The construction loan will be used to fund the majority of the cost to complete the development of a 100% pre-leased life science laboratory building with 170,618 rentable square feet at 259 East Grand Avenue in the San Francisco Bay market.  The construction loan bears interest at LIBOR or Base Rate, plus in either case a specified margin of 1.50% for LIBOR borrowings or 0.25% for Base Rate borrowings.  As of September 30, 2012, commitments of $53.0 million were available.

We expect our future capital expenditures, tenant improvements, and leasing costs (excluding capital expenditures and tenant improvements that are recoverable from client tenants, revenue-enhancing, or related to properties that have undergone redevelopment) on a per square foot basis to be approximately in the amounts shown in the preceding table.

 

Capitalized interest for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, of approximately $47.9 million and $44.9 million, respectively, is included in investments in real estate, net, as well as the table on the preceding page summarizing total capital expenditures.  In addition, we capitalized payroll and other indirect project costs related to development, redevelopment, and construction projects, including projects in India and China, aggregating approximately $9.4 million and $12.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Such costs are also included in the “Summary of Capital Expenditures” section on the preceding page.

 

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.  Indirect project costs, including personnel, construction administration, legal fees, and office costs that clearly relate to projects under construction, are capitalized during the period in which activities necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use take place.  Additionally, should activities necessary to prepare an asset for its intended use cease, interest, taxes, insurance, and certain other direct project costs related to this asset would be expensed as incurred.  When construction activities cease and the asset is ready for its intended use, the asset is transferred out of construction in progress and classified as rental properties, net.  Additionally, if vertical aboveground construction is not initiated at completion of preconstruction activities, the land parcel will be classified as land held for future development.  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 $5.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

We also capitalize and defer initial direct costs to originate leases with independent third parties related to evaluating a prospective lessee’s financial condition, negotiating lease terms, preparing the lease agreement, and closing the lease transaction.  Costs that we have capitalized and deferred relate to successful leasing transactions, result directly from and are essential to the lease transaction, and would not have been incurred had that leasing transaction not occurred.  The initial direct costs capitalized and deferred also include the portion of our employees’ total compensation and payroll-related fringe benefits directly related to time spent performing activities previously described and related to the respective lease that would not have been performed but for that lease.  Total initial direct leasing costs capitalized during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, were approximately $28.8 million and $36.5 million, respectively, of which approximately $7.8 million and $8.9 million, respectively, represented capitalized and deferred payroll costs directly related and essential to our leasing activities during such periods.

Dividends

 

We are required to distribute 90% of our REIT taxable income on an annual basis in order to continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.  Accordingly, we intend to make, but are not contractually bound to make, regular quarterly distributions to preferred and common stockholders from cash flow from operating activities.  All such distributions are at the discretion of our Board of Directors.  We may be required to use borrowings under our unsecured senior line of credit, if necessary, to meet REIT distribution requirements and maintain our REIT status.  We consider market factors and our performance in addition to REIT requirements in determining distribution levels.  Our forecasts of taxable income and distributions do not require significant increases in our annual common stock dividends on a per share basis in order to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income for the period January 1, 2012, through December 31, 2012.

Ground lease obligations

 

Ground lease obligations as of September 30, 2012, included leases for 25 of our properties and four land development parcels.  Excluding one ground lease related to a future redevelopment, our lease obligations have remaining lease terms from 41 to 197 years, including extension options.

 

Commitments

 

In addition to the above, as of September 30, 2012, remaining aggregate costs under contract for the construction of properties undergoing development, redevelopment, and generic life science infrastructure improvements under the terms of leases approximated $359.4 million.  We expect payments for these obligations to occur over one to three years, subject to capital planning adjustments from time to time.  We are also committed to funding approximately $55.5 million for certain investments over the next six years.

 

A 100% owned subsidiary of the Company previously executed a ground lease, as ground lessee, for the development site for the West Tower of the Alexandria Center™ for Life Science – New York City.  That ground lease requires the construction of the West Tower building approximating 419,806 rentable square feet to commence no later than October 31, 2013.  Commencement of construction of the second building includes, among other things, site preparation in order to accommodate a construction crane, erection of a construction crane, renewal of permits, and updating of the construction plans and specifications.  The ground lease provides further that substantial completion of the second building occur by October 31, 2015, requiring satisfying conditions that include substantially completed construction in accordance with the plans and the issuance of either temporary or permanent certificates of occupancy for the core and shell.  The ground lease also provides that by October 31, 2016, the ground lessee obtain a temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy for the core and shell of both the first building (which has occurred) and the second building.  In each case, the target dates above are subject to force majeure, to contractual cure rights, to other legal remedies available to ground lessees generally, and to change for any reason by agreement between both parties under the ground lease.  Lastly, if the above dates are not met, the ground lease provides contractual cure rights and the ground lease does not provide for the payment of additional rent, a late fee, or other monetary penalty.

 

Off-balance sheet arrangements

 

Our off-balance sheet arrangements consist of our investment in a real estate entity that is a variable interest entity for which we are not the primary beneficiary.  We account for the real estate entity under the equity method.  The debt held by the unconsolidated real estate entity is secured by the land parcel owned by the entity, and is non-recourse to us.  See Notes 2 and 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Interest rate swap agreements

 

We utilize interest rate swap agreements to hedge a portion of our exposure to variable interest rates primarily associated with our unsecured senior line of credit and unsecured senior bank term loans.  These agreements involve an exchange of fixed and variable rate interest payments without the exchange of the underlying principal amount (the “notional amount”).  Interest received under all of our interest rate swap agreements is based on the one-month LIBOR rate.  The net difference between the interest paid and the interest received is reflected as an adjustment to interest expense.

In addition to the interest pay rate, borrowings outstanding under our unsecured senior line of credit and unsecured senior bank term loans include an applicable margin currently ranging from 1.20% to 1.75%.

 

We have entered into master derivative agreements with each counterparty.  These master derivative agreements (all of which are adapted from the standard International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. form) define certain terms between the Company and each counterparty to address and minimize certain risks associated with our interest rate swap agreements.  In order to limit our risk of non-performance by an individual counterparty under our interest rate swap agreements, our interest rate swap agreements are spread among various counterparties.  As of September 30, 2012, the largest aggregate notional amount in effect at any single point in time with an individual counterparty was $375.0 million.  If one or more of our counterparties fail to perform under our interest rate swap agreements, we may incur higher costs associated with our variable rate LIBOR-based debt than the interest costs we originally anticipated.

 

As of September 30, 2012, the fair values of our interest rate swap agreements were classified in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and tenant security deposits based upon their respective fair values, aggregating a liability balance of approximately $25.3 million, with the offsetting adjustment reflected as unrealized losses in accumulated other comprehensive loss in total equity.  Balances in accumulated other comprehensive loss are recognized in the period during which the forecasted hedge transactions affect earnings.  We have not posted any collateral related to our interest rate swap agreements.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, approximately $17.6 million and $16.1 million, respectively, was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to interest expense as an increase to interest expense.  During the next 12 months, we expect to reclassify approximately $16.5 million from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense as an increase to interest expense.

 

Other resources and liquidity requirements

 

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.

 

We hold interests, together with certain third parties, in companies that we consolidate in our financial statements.  These third parties may contribute equity into these entities primarily related to their share of funds for construction and financing-related activities.

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.

 

Inflation

 

As of September 30, 2012, approximately 94% of our leases (on a rentable square footage basis) were triple net leases, requiring client 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.  Approximately 96% of our leases (on a rentable square footage basis) contained effective annual rent escalations that were either fixed (generally ranging from 3.0% to 3.5%) or indexed based on a consumer price index or another index.  Accordingly, we do not believe that our cash flow or earnings from real estate operations are subject to any significant risk from inflation.  An increase in inflation, however, could result in an increase in the cost of our variable rate borrowings, including borrowings related to our unsecured senior line of credit and unsecured senior bank term loans.

 

Non-GAAP measures

 

FFO and FFO, as adjusted

 

GAAP basis accounting for real estate assets utilizes historical cost accounting and assumes 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 Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) established the measurement tool of FFO.  Since its introduction, FFO has become a widely used non-GAAP financial measure among equity REITs.  We believe that FFO is helpful to investors as an additional measure of the performance of an equity REIT.  Moreover, we believe that FFO, as adjusted, is also helpful because it allows investors to compare our performance to the performance of other real estate companies between periods, and on a consistent basis, without having to account for differences caused by investment decisions, financing decisions, terms of securities, capital structures, and capital market transactions. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of NAREIT in its April 2002 White Paper and related implementation guidance (“NAREIT White Paper”). The NAREIT White Paper defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (losses) from sales and impairments of real estate, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.  Impairments of real estate relate to decreases in the estimated fair value of real estate due to changes in general market conditions and do not necessarily reflect the operating performance of the properties during the corresponding period.  Impairments of real estate represent the non-cash write-down of assets when fair value over the recoverability period is less than the carrying value.  We compute FFO, as adjusted, as FFO calculated in accordance with the NAREIT White Paper, plus losses from early extinguishment of debt and preferred stock redemption charges, less realized gain on equity investment primarily related to one non-tenant life science entity, and the amount of such items which are allocable to our unvested restricted stock awards. Our calculations of both FFO and FFO, as adjusted, may differ from those methodologies utilized by other equity REITs for similar performance measurements, and, accordingly, may not be comparable to other equity REITs.  Neither FFO nor FFO, as adjusted, should be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of financial performance, or to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of liquidity, nor are they indicative of the availability of funds for our cash needs, including funds available to make distributions.

Adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”)

 

AFFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that we use as a supplemental measure of our performance.  We compute AFFO by adding to or deducting from FFO, as adjusted: (1) non-incremental revenue-enhancing capital expenditures, tenant improvements, and leasing commissions (excludes redevelopment expenditures); (2) effects of straight-line rent and straight-line rent on ground leases; (3) capitalized income from development projects; (4) amortization of acquired above and below market leases, loan fees, and debt premiums/discounts; (5) non-cash compensation expense; and (6) allocation of AFFO attributable to unvested restricted stock awards.

 

We believe that AFFO is a useful supplemental performance measure because it further adjusts to: (1) deduct certain expenditures that, although capitalized and included in depreciation expense, do not enhance the revenue or cash flows of our properties; (2) eliminate the effect of straight-lining our rental income and capitalizing income from development projects in order to reflect the actual amount of contractual rents due in the period presented; and (3) eliminate the effect of non-cash items that are not indicative of our core operations and do not actually reduce the amount of cash generated by our operations.  We believe that eliminating the effect of non-cash charges related to stock-based compensation facilitates a comparison of our operations across periods and among other equity REITs without the variances caused by different valuation methodologies, the volatility of the expense (which depends on market forces outside our control), and the assumptions and the variety of award types that a company can use.  We believe that AFFO provides useful information by excluding certain items that are not representative of our core operating results because such items are dependent upon historical costs or subject to judgmental valuation inputs and the timing of our decisions.

 

AFFO is not intended to represent cash flow for the period, and is only intended to provide an additional measure of performance.  We believe that net income attributable to Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc.’s common stockholders is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to AFFO.  We believe that AFFO is a widely recognized measure of the operations of equity REITs, and presenting AFFO will enable investors to assess our performance in comparison to other equity REITs.  However, other equity REITs may use different methodologies for calculating AFFO and, accordingly, our AFFO may not be comparable to AFFO calculated by other equity REITs.  AFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of financial performance, or to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions.

Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margins

 

EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”), a non-GAAP financial measure, and is used by us and others as a supplemental measure of performance.  We use adjusted EBITDA (“Adjusted EBITDA”) and Adjusted EBITDA margins to assess the performance of our core operations, for financial and operational decision making, and as a supplemental or additional means of evaluating period-to-period comparisons on a consistent basis.  Adjusted EBITDA also serves as a proxy for a component of a financial covenant under certain of our debt obligations.  Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA excluding net stock compensation expense, gains or losses on early extinguishment of debt, gains or losses on sales of land parcels, gains or losses on sales of real estate, and impairments of real estate.  We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margins provide investors relevant and useful information because they permit investors to view income from our operations on an unleveraged basis before the effects of taxes, non-cash depreciation and amortization, net stock compensation expense, gains or losses on early extinguishment of debt, gains or losses on sales of land parcels, gains or losses on sales of real estate, and impairments of real estate.  By excluding interest expense, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margins allow investors to measure our performance independent of our capital structure and indebtedness and, therefore, allow for a more meaningful comparison of our performance to that of other companies, both in the real estate industry and in other industries.  We believe that excluding non-cash charges related to stock-based compensation facilitates a comparison of our operations across periods and among other equity REITs without the variances caused by different valuation methodologies, the volatility of the expense (which depends on market forces outside our control), and the assumptions and the variety of award types that a company can use.  We believe that adjusting for the effects of gains or losses on early extinguishment of debt, gains or losses on sales of land parcels, gains or losses on sales of real estate, and impairments of real estate provides useful information by excluding certain items that are not representative of our core operating results.  These items are not related to core operations, not dependent upon historical costs, and not subject to judgmental valuation inputs and the timing of our decisions.  EBITDA ,Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margins have limitations as measures of our performance. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margins do not reflect our historical cash expenditures or future cash requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments.  While EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margins are relevant and widely used measures of performance, they do not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP, and they should not be considered as alternatives to those indicators in evaluating performance or liquidity.  Further, our computation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA margins may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies.

Fixed charge coverage ratio

 

The fixed charge coverage ratio is useful to investors as a supplemental measure of the Company’s ability to satisfy fixed financing obligations and dividends on preferred stock.  Cash interest is equal to interest expense calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus capitalized interest, less amortization of loan fees, and amortization of debt premiums/discounts.  The fixed charge coverage ratio calculation below is not directly comparable to the computation of “Consolidated Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges and Consolidated Ratio of Earnings to Combined Fixed Charges and Preferred Stock Dividends” included in Exhibit 12.1 to our quarterly report on Form 10-Q, as of September 30, 2012.

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 leverage.  Net debt is equal to the sum of total debt less cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash.  See “Adjusted EBITDA” for further information on the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA.

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 primarily those income and expense items that are incurred at the unencumbered property level.  We use unencumbered net operating income as a percentage of total net operating income in order to assess our compliance with our financial covenants under our debt obligations because the measure serves as a proxy for a financial measure under certain of our debt obligations.  Unencumbered net operating income is derived from assets classified in continuing operations that are not subject to any mortgage, deed of trust, lien, or other security interest.  Unencumbered net operating income for periods through June 30, 2012, has been reclassified to conform to current period presentation related to discontinued operations.  See the reconciliation of net operating income to income from continuing operations in “Results of Operations.”

 

The following table summarizes unencumbered net operating income as a percentage of total net operating income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 (dollars in thousands):

Item 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Interest rate risk

 

The primary market risk to which we believe we are 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 swap 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 carries additional risks, such as counterparty credit risk and the legal enforceability of hedging contracts.

 

Our future earnings and fair values relating to financial instruments are primarily dependent upon prevalent market rates of interest, such as LIBOR.  However, our interest rate swap agreements are intended to reduce the effects of interest rate changes.  The following table illustrates the effect of a 1% increase/decrease of interest rates, assuming a LIBOR floor of 0%, on our variable rate debt, including our unsecured senior line of credit and unsecured term loans, after considering the effect of our interest rate swap agreements, secured debt, unsecured senior notes payable, and unsecured senior convertible notes (in thousands):

)

$

(77,554

)

Rate decrease of 1%

 

$

29,423

 

$

35,182

 

 

These amounts are determined by considering the impact of the hypothetical interest rates on our borrowing cost and our interest rate swap agreements in effect on September 30, 2012.  These analyses do not consider the effects of the reduced level of overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment.  Further, in the event of a change of such magnitude, we would consider taking actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change.  However, because of the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, the sensitivity analysis assumes no changes in our capital structure.

 

Equity price risk

 

We have exposure to equity price market risk because of our equity investments in certain publicly traded companies and privately held entities.  We classify investments in publicly traded companies as “available for sale” and, consequently, record them on our condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value, with unrealized gains or losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income or loss.  Investments in privately held entities are generally accounted for under the cost method because we do not influence any of the operating or financial policies of the entities in which we invest.  For all investments, we recognize other-than-temporary declines in value against earnings in the same period during which the decline in value was deemed to have occurred.  There is no assurance that future declines in value will not have a material adverse impact on our future results of operations.  The following table illustrates the effect that a 10% change in the fair value of our equity investments would have on earnings (in thousands):

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 respective local currencies.  Gains or losses resulting from the translation of our foreign subsidiaries’ balance sheets and statements of income are included in accumulated other comprehensive income as a separate component of total equity.  Gains or losses will be reflected in our statements of income 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 table illustrates the effect that a 10% increase or decrease in foreign currency rates relative to the U.S. dollar would have on our earnings, based on our current operating assets outside the U.S. (in thousands):

September 30, 2012

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.

 

Item 4.         CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

 

As of September 30, 2012, we performed an evaluation, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), 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 CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2012.

 

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 September 30, 2012, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1A.               RISK FACTORS

 

Security breaches through cyber-attacks, cyber-intrusions, or otherwise, could disrupt our information technology networks and related systems.

 

Risks associated with security breaches, whether through cyber-attacks or cyber intrusions over the Internet, malware, computer viruses, attachments to e-mails, or otherwise, against persons inside our organization, persons with access to systems inside our organization, the U.S. government, financial markets or institutions, or major businesses, including client tenants, could disrupt or disable networks and related systems, other critical infrastructures and the normal operation of business. The risk of a security breach or disruption, particularly through cyber-attack or cyber-intrusion, including by computer hackers, foreign governments, and cyber terrorists, has generally increased as the number, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions from around the world have increased. Even though we may not be specifically targeted, cyber-attacks on the U.S. government, financial markets or institutions or other major businesses, including client tenants, could disrupt our normal business operations and networks, which may in turn have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

 

IT networks and related systems are essential to the operation of our business and our ability to perform day-to-day operations, including managing our building systems and, in some cases, may be critical to the operations of certain of our tenants. Although we make efforts to maintain the security and integrity of these types of networks and related systems, and we have implemented various measures to manage the risk of a security breach or disruption, there can be no assurance that our security efforts and measures will be effective or that attempted security breaches or disruptions would not be successful or damaging. Even the most well protected information, networks, systems and facilities remain potentially vulnerable because the techniques used in such attempted security breaches evolve and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, and in some cases are designed

not to be detected and, in fact, may not be detected. While, to date, we have not experienced a cyber-attack or cyber-intrusion, we may be unable to anticipate or to implement adequate security barriers or other preventative measures, and thus it is impossible for us to entirely mitigate this risk.

 

A security breach or other significant disruption involving our IT networks and related systems could:

·                  disrupt the proper functioning of our networks and systems and therefore our operations and/or those of certain of our tenants;

·                  result in misstated financial reports, violations of loan covenants, missed reporting deadlines and/or missed permitting deadlines;

·                  result in our inability to properly monitor our compliance with the rules and regulations regarding our qualification as a REIT;

·                  result in the unauthorized access to, and destruction, loss, theft, misappropriation or release of proprietary, confidential, sensitive or otherwise valuable information of ours or others, which others could use to compete against us or for disruptive, destructive or otherwise harmful purposes and outcomes;

·                  result in our inability to maintain the building systems relied upon by our tenants for the efficient use of their leased space;

·                  require significant management attention and resources to remedy any damages that result;

·                  subject us to claims for breach of contract, damages, credits, penalties or termination of leases or other agreements; or

·                  damage our reputation among our tenants and investors generally.

Any or all of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows.

 

Changes in the method of determining LIBOR rates may adversely affect the fair value of our financial instruments and our earnings.

 

We hold certain instruments in our debt profile on which interest rates move in direct relation to LIBOR, depending on our selection of borrowing options. Beginning in 2008, concerns have been raised that some of the member banks surveyed by the British Bankers’ Association (the “BBA”) in connection with the calculation of daily LIBOR across a range of maturities and currencies may have under-reported, over-reported, or otherwise manipulated the inter-bank lending rate applicable to them in order to profit on their derivatives positions or to avoid an appearance of capital insufficiency or adverse reputational or other consequences that may have resulted from reporting inter-bank lending rates higher than those they actually submitted. At least one BBA member bank has entered into a settlement with a number of its regulators and law enforcement agencies with respect to alleged manipulation of LIBOR, and investigations by regulators and governmental authorities in various jurisdictions are ongoing. Other member banks may also enter into such settlements with, or have proceedings brought by, their regulators or law enforcement agencies in the future.  If manipulation of LIBOR occurred, it may have resulted in LIBOR being artificially lower (or higher) than it would otherwise have been. Any such manipulation could have occurred over a substantial period of time.

 

On September 28, 2012, British regulators published a report on the review of LIBOR.  The report concluded that LIBOR should be retained as a benchmark, but recommended a comprehensive reform of LIBOR, including replacing the BBA with a new independent administrator of LIBOR.  The British government endorsed recommendations made by the report and instructed relevant institutions involved in the process of setting LIBOR to implement them.  Any changes in the method pursuant to which LIBOR is determined, as well as manipulative practices or the cessation thereof, may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in reported LIBOR, which could have an adverse impact on the level of the index. Fluctuation or discontinuation of LIBOR would affect our interest expense and earnings and the fair value of certain of our financial instruments. We rely on interest rate swaps to help mitigate our exposure to such interest rate risk, on a portion of our debt obligations.  However, there is no assurance these arrangements will be effective in reducing our exposure to changes in interest rates.

 

In addition to the information set forth in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, one should 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 “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.  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.
