LETTER FROM THE CEO

Solid operations

HIGHLIGHTS AND SUMMARY OF THE

Third quarter of 2022

The quarter has been characterized by widespread price growth and the continued effort by Norges Bank to curb inflation by interest rate hikes. This volatile macroeconomic climate affects Aurora Eiendom directly through increased interest rates, and indirectly by causing a rise in costs for our tenants.

As expected, tenant turnover levels, adjusted for inflation, are moving towards normalization after the pandemic levels. With so many macroeconomic factors at play, it's difficult to measure which ones have an effect and which ones don't. With tenant turnover levels still above 2019 it does not seem that the reduced purchasing power has had an impact so far. What on the other hand was noticeable was that Norwegians spent their holiday abroad again this summer, with the tenant turnover in July and beginning of August coming down from the high levels of the past two years. Compared to last year the quarter ended with a reduction of 4.4 %, with the lion's share of the reduction connected to the summer holidays.

Our shopping centers offer goods and services of which capital goods make up a smaller proportion. They are thus somewhat less sensitive to the cost increases we are now seeing in the short term. At the same time, we have to be prepared to see a decline in tenant turnover levels going forward if the cost levels remain for a longer period of time.

Despite unpredictable times and increasing cost we are still experiencing a solid demand for retail areas at our shopping centers, and it has been an active third quarter in leasing activities. With a net leased area of 2 566 sqm the occupancy rate is increased with 1.3 % and we have extended lease agreements on a total area of 11 039 sqm, corresponding to 5.5 % of the portfolio's gross lettable area.

Increased interest rates are forcing the valuation yields upwards, and the external appraisers have increased the weighted average valuation yield for the portfolio with 0.28 percentage points since the second quarter. The positive development in leasing activities and further increased inflation expectations have a countervailing effect on the value adjustment, which for the quarter ended at a write down of NOK 85 million for the shopping center portfolio.

We have since the acquisition of Gulskogen Senter, Arkaden Kjøpesenter and a 25 % share of Maxi Storsenter 1st of July been working to take over the operations and getting to know the new centers. The takeover process has been successful, and as we get better acquainted with the centers new opportunities emerge.

As we have previously experienced, we do not only gain a new center through an acquisition, but we also gain new competence to the management company by bringing each center's administration on board. Each and every one is important to our vision of creating an ideal environment for both tenants and customers.

Leases extended are defined as new or extended lease contracts with the same tenant on the same area. All other lease contracts are defined as leases started.

Leases signed (not started) are leases that are signed, but have a later start date than the last day of the quarter. These lease contracts can be for areas that are both vacant and occupied at last day of the quarter. Lease contracts typical for the shopping center industry normally have a start date between three and nine months after the lease is signed.

Financial developments

Financial developments for the quarter are presented and compared to Q3 2021. Please note that Aurora Eiendom's portfolio in 2021 consisted of five shopping centers acquired in July 2021. Aurora Eiendom has increased its portfolio of shopping centers with Buskerud Storsenter, Gulskogen Senter and Arkaden Senter during 2022.

Rental income

Gross rental income in the quarter was NOK 132.6 million (NOK 78.6 million).

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 13.4 million for the quarter (NOK 12.5 million). Please see note 4 for further information.

Administrative expenses were NOK 6.2 million (NOK 3.9 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 3.9 million (NOK 1.3 million). Some of these costs are legal and advisory fees due to changes in the group structure on company level. Also, some one-off costs were incurred as part of the acquisition of the new shopping centers Gulskogen Senter, Arkaden Senter and 25 % of Maxi Storsenter.

Net income from property management

Net income from property management amounted to NOK 109 million (NOK 61 million).

Fair value adjustments of investment properties

The fair value of the investment properties was adjusted with negative NOK 84.8 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 fair value change is mainly due to the external appraiser's increase in valuation yields. This is partly counteracted by expectations of increased inflation and somewhat increased market rent due to leasing activity in the quarter.

Share of results from associated companies

Aurora Eiendom AS has three associated companies:

  • Alti Forvaltning AS owned 50 %.
  • 8.75 % indirect ownership in Jærhagen through JHG Invest AS.
  • 25 % of Hamar Storsenter Holding AS.

The Group's share of profit in these companies amounted to NOK 1.2 million in Q3. This figure includes amortization of NOK 1.3 million of the excess book value on the shares in Alti Forvaltning.

Financial income

Financial income is mainly interests on cash and cash equivalents.

Fair value adjustments on interest rate derivatives

Aurora Eiendom AS has twelve swap agreements and two swaptions. Two interest swap agreements with associated swaption agreements were entered into during the quarter.

Market value and position of the interest swap agreements amounted to NOK 177.7 million by the end of the quarter. The market value of the swaptions amounted to NOK -19.3 million.

Swaption 2 150 000 000 2.640 % 30.09.2024 30.09.2029

NOTE 3 – FINANCIAL ASSETS AND FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

Determination of fair value

The following of the Group's financial instruments are not measured at fair value: cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, other current receivables and payables.

Bank loans and seller credit have been recognised at amortised cost. Per 30.09.2022 the Group did not have financial instruments other than those mentioned above.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents is approximately equal to fair value since these instruments have a short term to maturity. Similarly, the carrying amount of account receivables and other current receivables and payables is approximately equal to fair value since they are short term and entered into on "normal" terms and conditions.

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 and Maxi Storsenter.

Market value of investment properties and development projects are independently valued by Cushman & Wakefield. The latest valuation was

carried out 30 September 2022.

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 yield is set by the independent valuer, based on reference transactions and adjusted for conditions specific to the individual properties.
