PASADENA, Calif., May 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. (NYSE: ARE) today announced financial and operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016.

Joel S. Marcus, chairman, chief executive officer, and founder of Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. ("Alexandria"), stated, "We are pleased to start 2016 with a very successful first quarter executed by our best-in-class team."

The sublease highlights the continued demand from high-quality science and technology companies in our key urban innovation clusters;

Cash NOI excludes straight-line rent and amortization of acquired below-market leases. NOI amounts represent the annualized amounts for 1Q16.

(2)

Property consists of an R&D/Warehouse building acquired in 2005 with minimal capital improvements since acquisition. Buyer intends to make considerable investments in the building including demolition of some of the existing space and re-purposing of its use.

(3)

Non-core properties located outside of our urban innovation clusters.  These properties are Class B office buildings leased to non-credit tenants and represent our last investment in Worcester.  The internal rate of return over our hold period, including the expected disposition of the asset, is expected to be approximately 8.9%.

(4)

In March 2016, we recognized an impairment charge of $29.0 million for two land parcels in India that met the criteria for classification as held for sale in March 2016. As of March 31, 2016, we only had one binding sale agreement related to one land parcel. This land parcel was sold on May 2, 2016, at a sales price of $7.5 million with no gain or loss. On April 22, 2016, our Board of Directors approved the monetization of our real estate investments in Asia in order to invest capital into our highly leased value-creation pipeline. As a result of this decision, we recognized an aggregate impairment charge of $153.0 million to reduce our net book value to fair value less cost to sell for all of our remaining investments in Asia. In determining the carrying amount for evaluating the real estate for impairment, we considered the cumulative foreign currency translation losses of approximately $32.0 million for our land parcels located in India, and $18.8 million for our rental properties in our India and China submarkets, that will be reclassified to net income only when realized upon sale or disposition. We believe our real estate investments in Asia will be monetized in several separate transactions over the next 12 months.

(1)

Decrease in total revenues from 4Q15 is primarily related to a $2.4 million reduction in tenant recoveries due to lower operating expenses and a $3.6 million decrease in investment gains.

(2)

Decrease in interest expense from 4Q15 is primarily related to a reduction of interest expense on our unsecured senior line of credit related to the $453.1 million in sales of partial interest in three Class A assets in December 2015, and an increase in capitalized interest driven by the increase in development activities related to our 3.5 million RSF highly leased value creation pipeline.

(3)

See footnote 4 on page 5.

(4)

Increase in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests is due to the sales described in footnote 2 above.

On January 1, 2016, we adopted an accounting standard update that requires debt issuance costs, excluding debt issuance costs associated with a line of credit, to be presented on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability. Debt issuance costs associated with a line of credit will continue to be presented as an asset. As a result of adopting the accounting standard update, the unamortized deferred financing costs previously classified in deferred leasing and financing costs, aggregating $28.5 million as of March 31, 2016, were classified with the corresponding debt instrument appearing on the consolidated balance sheets and deferred financing costs related to our unsecured senior line of credit, aggregating $10.9 million as of March 31, 2016, were classified in other assets. This accounting standard update was also applied retroactively to all periods presented, as required by the accounting standard update.
