DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
THE REAL ESTATE PORTFOLIO
FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENTS
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

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.

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.

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.

The financial statements for Q1 2023 have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting principles that have been used are described in the annual report of 2022. The interim financial statements for Q1 2023 have not been audited.
Fair value hierarchy:
Level 1: Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. Level 2: Other techniques where all of the that have a significant impact on measuring fair value are either directly or indirectly observable. Level 3: Valuation techniques that use parameters that significantly affect the valuation, but which are not observable.
Investment properties are valued at fair value (Level 3) based on independent external valuations. Latest valuation was carried out on 31st of March 2023. Changes in fair value are recognised as through proft and loss.

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.
EPRA initial yields do not include Jærhagen Kjøpesenter or Maxi Storsenter. Market value of investment properties and development projects are independently valued by Cushman & Wakefield Realkapital. The latest valuation was carried out 31 March 2023.
The allowance for estimated purchaser's costs is an estimate based on the company's experiences. The property outgoings are based on the owner's costs estimated in the independent valuation. The market rent of vacant space is based on the independent valuation. The exit yied is set by the independent valuer, based on reference transactions and adjusted for conditions specific to the individual properties.
