PASADENA, Calif., Dec. 6, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. (NYSE: ARE) today announced that its Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.15 per common share for the fourth quarter of 2021. The dividend is payable on January 14, 2022, to shareholders of record on December 31, 2021. The common stock dividend for the year ending December 31, 2021, of $4.48 per common share represents an increase of 24 cents, or 6 percent, over the year ended December 31, 2020.

The dividend allows the company to share its continued high-quality, strong and increasing net cash provided by operating activities with its common shareholders while it retains significant cash provided by operating activities for reinvestment into its highly leased pipeline of development and redevelopment of new Class A properties. The company's funds from operations payout ratio (quarterly common stock dividends divided by quarterly funds from operations) remains favorably low at 58 percent for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Additionally, growth in net cash provided by operating activities after dividends continues to generate opportunities to increase the company's quarterly cash dividend per common share while enabling it to maintain a low funds from operations payout ratio.
