AURORA Q3 2024 REPORT

LETTER FROM THE CEO

Calm before the holiday surge

After two strong quarters of tenant turnover in our shopping center portfolio, the third quarter experienced a slight slowdown, with tenant turnover development of – 0,9 %. Considering the impact of several major renovations and tenant changes, which led to temporary store closures, we are satisfied with the sales performance.

The renovation of the second floor at Alti Vinterbro is nearing completion, and we eagerly anticipate the final outcome, with the project on track to open in time for the holiday shopping season. This upgrade will introduce several new tenants, enhancing the retail mix and giving the center a fresh, modern look.

Alongside the developments at Alti Vinterbro, we have also made significant progress at Alti Gulskogen. Recently, we secured new tenants and relocated some existing ones, ensuring that key spaces that became vacant over the summer will be active again by the end of Q4 this year and into Q1 next year. Among the new additions, we are pleased to welcome a large Europris store as well as the Egon restaurant concept. As these new establishments open, they will positively impact our occupancy rate.

While much of our leasing success can be attributed to the hard work and expertise of Alti Forvaltning's leasing team, it also reflects strong demand for retail spaces. Currently, including signed agreements, we have very few vacant retail units, though vacancy rates remain somewhat higher for our office spaces.

The high level of leasing activity gives us an optimistic outlook for rental income going forward. However, profitability for both us and our tenants remains under pressure due to rising costs in recent years, including high interest rates, increased construction and renovation expenses, substantial wage growth, and higher procurement costs driven by a weak Norwegian currency and general inflation. As a result, both parties

are in a position where sustained tenant turnover growth is essential, especially as costs remain elevated. An anticipated positive cost impact was the expectation of imminent interest rate cuts, but it now appears these may be postponed.

As we approach the holiday season, we are excited to welcome the most important period of the year for retail. Our shopping centers are already adorned with festive decorations, and the iconic Christmas lights are shining brightly across most locations. Stores are embracing holiday themes, creating an inviting atmosphere for customers. We look forward to seeing the impact of the renovations and new stores across several of our centers and are confident this will enhance the overall experience for our visitors.

EPRA Net Reinstatement Value (NRV): the objective of this metric is to highlight the value of net assets on a long term-basis, assuming that no selling of assets takes place.

EPRA Net Tangible Assets (NTA): the calculation assumes entities buy and sell assets, thereby crystallising certain levels of deferred tax liability. Aurora Eiendom has chosen option (iii) in the EPRA BPR Guidelines. In this calculation 50% of the deferred taxes are added back.

EPRA Net Disposal Value (NDV) provides the reader with a scenario where deferred tax, financial instruments and certain other adjustments are calculated to the full extent of their liability, net of any resulting tax, this to illuatrate shareholder value in a scenario of orderly sale of all the company´s assets.
