DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS

THE REAL ESTATE PORTFOLIO

FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENTS

  • Rental income in Q1 was NOK 144.5 million (NOK 83.1 million). The increase is mainly due to growth in the shopping center portfolio in 2022.
  • The quarter's gross tenant turnover in our fully owned centers was NOK 1 813 million, which is a like-for-like growth of 6.3 % compared to Q1 2022. Restaurants and cafés along with clothing stores and shoe stores experienced positive development. Categories closely connected to sales of residential units and vacation homes have had a weaker quarter.

LETTER FROM THE CEO

A good start

First quarter of 2023

Contrary to our expectations, the year began with strong growth in tenant turnover. A low unemployment rate, high expectations for this year's wage growth and redistribution of spending from capital goods to consumer goods are contributing factors to the activity at the shopping centers. This is resulting in strong numbers despite increasing housing costs for consumers such as interest and electricity.

The shopping center portfolio had a tenant turnover in the quarter of NOK 1.8 billion, an increase of 6.3 per cent compared to last year. The development varies between the categories, and we see that categories closely connected to sales of residential units and vacation homes are lagging. Restaurants and cafés along with clothing stores and shoe stores are among the growth winners.

With tenant turnover remaining at good levels, we experience positivity among tenants with a view to upgrading stores and concepts and establishing new units. At the same time, although the number of bankruptcies is well below the levels before the pandemic, we are noticing an increase.

During the first quarter leases with a total of 2.161 square meters started and 2.213 square meters expired, which results in a close to unchanged occupancy rate. In the same period leases representing 4.0 per cent of the portfolio's gross lettable area were extended, maintaining the weighted average lease term of the portfolio at 3.3 years.

In the external valuation of the shopping center portfolio the continuing increase in interest rates led to an adjustment of the valuation yields of 0.15 percentage points. As countervailing effects, there are

  • In Q1 the occupancy rate was 93.5 %, close to unchanged from last quarter. Leases representing 4.0 % of the portfolio's gross lettable area were extended, maintaining the weighted average lease term of the portfolio at 3.3 years.
  • Alti Forvaltning AS continued its growth announcing three new management contracts in the quarter: Amfi Eikunda, Amfi Flekkefjord and Røa Torg. This brings the total of centers managed by Alti Forvaltning to 41 centers.

increased expectations for inflation and market rent. This resulted in stable property values last quarter.

Most industries have had a taste of the impact of various macro factors in the last couple of years. The shopping center sector has proven strong so far and continued to do so in the first three months of 2023. Rarely has it been so interesting to follow the development of customer spending from week to week and the distribution between the industries.

We continuously work to adjust the tenant mix to be as relevant and interesting as possible to our visitors, and we are glad to be opening the second IKEA planning studio in our shopping center portfolio at Gulskogen Senter this summer. This is another step towards developing our strong shopping destinations to also be a hub of services.

All in all, we observe that our shopping centers are resilient in changing market conditions. Occupancy remains high, turnover develops positively, and our centers are attractive locations for new and existing

tenants.

GROSS TENANT TURNOVER PER QUARTER

Sustainability in Aurora Eiendom

Financial developments

Rental income

Gross rental income in the quarter was NOK 144.5 million (NOK 83.1 million). Please note that Q1 2023 includes the full portfolio of eight shopping centers. Q1 2022 includes the five first centers acquired in 2021 and the financial figures for one month of Alti Buskerud (acquired on March 1st 2022).

Property related operational expenses and administrative expenses

Property related operational expenses consist of owner's share of common costs, maintenance, leasehold insurance, and other direct property cost. These amounted to NOK 11.0 million for the quarter (NOK 6.4 million). Please see note 5 for further information.

Administrative expenses were NOK 6.7 million (NOK 4.0 million). This represents the fee paid to Alti Forvaltning AS for managing the eight shopping centers in the Aurora portfolio. Alti Forvaltning AS also provides management services to the parent company Aurora Eiendom AS, and the cost of this is included in the management fee.

Other operating income and expenses

Other operating income and expenses consists of income and expenses not related to the properties, such as provision and consultancy and auditing fees. These costs amounted to NOK 1.8 million (NOK 1.3 million).

Net income from property management

Net income from property management amounted to NOK 125.0 million (NOK 71.3 million).

Fair value adjustments of investment properties

The fair value of the investment properties was adjusted with NOK 16 million in the quarter. The Group's investment property portfolio consists of eight 100 % owned shopping centers which are valued by an external appraiser on a quarterly basis. The external appraiser increased valuation yields by 15 bps. However, the valuer's view on market rent levels were increased. This, in addition to somewhat higher inflation expectations than per last valuation, resulted in an overall positive fair value adjustment.

Aurora Eiendom AS has three associated companies:

  • Alti Forvaltning AS owned 50 %.
  • 10 % indirect ownership in Jærhagen through JHG Invest AS.
  • 25 % of Hamar Storsenter Holding AS.

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.
