NEW YORK, Nov. 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. (NYSE: ARE), the first, preeminent, longest-tenured and pioneering owner, operator and developer uniquely focused on collaborative life science, agtech and technology campuses in AAA innovation cluster locations with over 1,000 tenants, today announced that its executive chairman and founder, Joel S. Marcus, will present at the 29th Annual Baron Investment Conference in New York City this morning. Mr. Marcus is among the four notable leaders of Baron Funds' high-conviction holdings who will be presenting to shareholders of Baron Capital's funds and the clients of its financial professionals at one of the investment community's most anticipated and highly regarded annual conferences. In recognition of the company's outstanding track record, renowned author and business strategist Jim Collins has stated, "Alexandria has achieved the three outputs that define a great company: Superior Results, Distinctive Impact, and Lasting Endurance." Mr. Marcus will highlight these noteworthy outputs, which are driven by the company's mission to advance human health and by its continued operational excellence and exceptional execution of a multifaceted business platform built on the foundation of its four key verticals of real estate, venture investments, thought leadership and corporate responsibility.
"Innovation in medicine is a national imperative, and we are immensely proud to have built a one-of-a-kind mission-driven company that continues to catalyze this innovation across our life science ecosystems," said Mr. Marcus. "For Alexandria, our business is about much more than building state-of-the-art facilities — it's about creating and operating world-class campuses with uniquely inspiring design, amenities and a collaborative vibrancy that enable our tenants to be productive, to be efficient, and that help them recruit and retain the best talent to advance their science and address massive unmet medical need. To our tenants, our brand means deep experience, expertise, creativity and dependability, and it has earned us the trust of over 1,000 tenants, who rely on us daily to help keep their mission-critical research and development platforms operational, safe and secure as they work tirelessly to translate their discoveries into therapies and cures to improve and save lives. I am honored to share the story of our visionary strategy, relentless passion and meaningful impact with the Baron Investment Conference attendees again this year. We are grateful to have Baron Funds as a longtime investor in Alexandria, and we congratulate Baron Capital on its 40th anniversary, a momentous milestone in its history."
Alexandria, which first identified and created the life science real estate niche in 1994, has led the strategic transformation of the novel Labspace® niche it pioneered into the mainstream asset class it is today. Over the past three decades, Alexandria has created an unassailable moat, powered by its stellar brand reputation; tremendous scale and quality of nearly 75 million square feet across the most premier life science clusters in North America; a REIT industry-leading roster of over 1,000 diversified tenants that drives stable, long-duration cash flows and solid leasing and also provides unmatched insight into the life science industry; the operational excellence of its best-in-class, mission-critical complex infrastructure; and the enduring strength and flexibility of its balance sheet with significant liquidity.
Since Alexandria's initial public offering over 25 years ago, the company has maintained the highest standards of excellence to generate long-term value for its stockholders while making a meaningful, positive impact on society. Alexandria's outstanding total stockholder return (TSR) of 1,636% from its IPO in May 1997 through June 30, 2022 (assuming reinvestment of dividends) significantly outperformed various indices over the same period, including the MSCI U.S. REIT's TSR of 728% and the S&P 500's TSR of 612%. Additionally, Alexandria's tremendous execution of its continued dividend strategy enables the company to share its strong and consistent growth in operating cash flows with stockholders while also retaining a significant portion for reinvestment. As of September 30, 2022, Alexandria has a dividend yield of 3.4% and an average annual dividend per-share growth of 6.5% over the last five years.
