Letter from the CEO
2021 was a year where we learned to live with the pandemic and its effects on our work, lives, and the balance between them. Entra has navigated very well in this unchartered territory. We have safeguarded life and health, kept our buildings open, been proactive in terms of growing the business, and seen very little negative effects on our operations, projects, and financial results.
We have worked closely with our customers during national lockdowns and subsequent re-openings. The trend of flexible work has accelerated through the pandemic and is here to stay. To be an attractive employer and attract talent, companies must accept that their employees can work from anywhere. We see that future work-place solutions are evolving, and that work-place strategies are higher up on the agenda with our customers and their boards. While having to facilitate for a more flexible workday, our customers clearly see that the office plays a central role to attract, develop and retain the human capital in their companies. More than ever, the office needs to be the place for building culture, sharing knowledge, and participating in social activities with a clear purpose of building company loyalty.
So far, the Norwegian office market and Entra have seen little effect on net demand for office space. However, we clearly see an increased focus on how to program the office space to support innovation, collaboration and hybrid working.
This has resulted in strong demand for our tenant advisory services on work-place strategies. We have therefore strengthened our team to advise our customers on how they can use the office as a more strategic tool, as part of organizational development. This is an important service that we believe will keep customers within the Entra portfolio over time and supports our letting activity when targeting new tenants. More companies are open for rethinking their workplace solutions, and they are probably also more open to re-locate. Working closely with our tenants and prospects to understand their needs, providing advisory services, will be important going forward. For Entra, with its large and attractive portfolio of high-quality office assets, this provides an opportunity as we can provide flexibility within our portfolio.
While it is too early to conclude on the pandemic's long-term effects on the office market, our cluster strategy with locations on central communication hubs seems more relevant than ever. In a flexible working environment, the office needs to be
a destination the employees want to visit, and urban qualities and social activities are getting increasingly important in this respect.
In Entra, we want to offer our office customers the best possible environment and create places where our customers want to be, and where they want to return. Creating life between the buildings, also outside office hours, is thus an important focus in our urban development strategy. This involves having active ground floors and a good mix of activities, food offerings and services as part of the office experience. In 2021, while maintaining focus of the office market, we expanded our strategic focus to also include ground floor/retail development, residentials and hotels within our clusters.
Our sustainability focus has for many years been, and still is, core to our strategy and in the backbone of everything we do. Work to mitigate the effects of climate change is urgent, and we constantly search for solutions on how we can contribute. In 2021, we revised our environmental strategy, further outlining and detailing the pathway towards our overarching target of becoming net zero carbon by 2030. We have increased our focus on life cycle assessments and how to measure and reduce embodied carbon in our properties and projects. We have also done an in-depth climate risk assessment of the physical and transition risks affecting the majority of our assets and company. On the social side, we continue to support initiatives focusing on developing including cities through our collaboration with the Church City Mission, and also some new initiatives focusing on job inclusion such as Sisters in Business amongst others.
We continue to increase and enhance the quality of our portfolio, and we were very active in the transaction market in 2021. We acquired 23 properties for a total of 17.5 billion, adding gross 319,000 sqm if we include the Oslo Areal transaction that closed in January 2022. The integration of Oslo Areal will be completed during 2022. We have also rotated out some smaller, non-strategic properties. The assets we have bought
are centrally located in our existing clusters mainly in Oslo, and we have increased our greater Oslo exposure from 72 to 79 per cent. Going into 2021 we had a loan to value of 38.4 per cent. Through these transactions, we have put our balance sheet to work and enter 2022 with a pro-forma loan to value of around 47 per cent.
After a couple of years with flattish income growth as several large assets were taken out of operations for redevelopment, rental income grew by 15 per cent in the fourth quarter or 7 per cent in 2021. We finalized development projects of 65,500 sqm in 2021 and started up another 32,800 sqm. As a result of the completed projects and transactions during 2021, we expect to see rental growth above 25 per cent in 2022. We have a large and exciting project pipeline that will secure future growth for many years to come, and as of year-end our ongoing project development portfolio contained some 115,200 sqm to be finalized in the period from 2022 to 2024. Most of the project development pipeline is in central property clusters in Oslo, particularly around the Central Station and at Bryn. The planned urban development of these areas will also benefit the attractiveness of our existing assets.
The value of our property portfolio increased by 19 per cent from a combination of acquisitions and value uplifts driven by yield compression, solid project development, and letting activities. Going into 2022, Entra is well positioned in a solid Norwegian economy supported by a property market with low office vacancy rates, limited new-build activity and expectations for continued rental growth. The transaction market remains very active and demand for Norwegian office properties continue to be strong.
The Entra team has pulled together and delivered strong results also in 2021. We have provided significant growth through both acquisitions and from progressing our project pipeline. We are very satisfied with our increased exposure to the Oslo market. We have maintained top customer satisfaction scores, and we continue to work systematically to bring down our carbon footprint and engaging in social sustainability activities. With our portfolio of high-quality office buildings and the capabilities, engagement, and enthusiasm in the Entra team we are well set to meet the future.

In Entra, we want to offer our office customers the best possible environment and create places where our customers want to be, and where they want to return.

Entra is the largest investment alternative offering investors Oslo-focused, high quality office exposure. As of year-end, approximately 71 per cent of the Company's portfolio by value is located in the Greater Oslo region with prime locations in connection with public transportation hubs. After closing of the Oslo Areal and Hinna Park transactions in January 2022, around 79 per cent of the portfolio values are located in the Greater Oslo area (Oslo and Sandvika).
The value of Entra's property portfolio as of 31 December 2021 was 67.5 billion, and the company's EPRA NRV was 218 per share. The net yield on Entra's portfolio was estimated to 4.24 per cent. Entra has a strong balance sheet with a loan to value of 38.4 per cent and Baa1 credit rating with Stable Outlook from Moody's.
Entra offers investors superior cash flow visibility and quality with approximately 56 per cent of rental income from public sector tenants with AAA credit rating and with a weighted average unexpired lease term (WAULT) of around seven years as of year-end 2021. The management portfolio has had a consistently high occupancy rate, currently at 97.8 per cent. Entra's operational platform and service organisation has consistently given the Company high rankings in the annual public Norwegian Tenant Index ranking of Norwegian landlords. The Company has proved resilient during Covid-19 with payments in 2020 and 2021 collected at near normal levels. Entra is exposed to a solid Norwegian economy supported by strong public funding and a property market with low office vacancy rates and expectations for continued rental growth.
Sustainability has been an integrated part of Entra's business model for more than 10 years. Entra is working actively to reduce the CO2 footprint of its property portfolio and has a target to become a net zero carbon company by 2030. Entra has developed several Powerhouses, office buildings producing more energy than they consume over their lifetime. In 2020, the company also redeveloped an office property where more than 80 per cent of the input factors came from reused materials. 27 of Entra's properties are BREEAM certified, and 9 properties are in process of being certified. Entra has achieved a Green Star rating with a score of 92 on the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB) compared to an average score of 73. Entra established its first green bond in 2016 and as of 31 December 2021 has 69 per cent of its debt portfolio in green bonds and bank loans. 100 per cent of Entra's revenues are eligible within the EU Taxonomy framework, and the company will commence reporting according to the EU Taxonomy within, and at the latest, year-end 2022.
Profitable project development has been the Company's major lever for growth, and Entra and its project development organisation has a proven track record of delivering attractive new-build and redevelopment projects. In the period from 2015 to 2021, Entra invested a total of 12.9 billion across 26 projects with an average yield-on-cost of 6.3 per cent. The value of these projects upon completion was 16.5 billion, representing an increase of 28 per cent.
Entra has during 2021 started up two and finalised four development projects, and the portfolio of ongoing projects as of 31 December 2021 consists of seven properties totalling 115,200 sqm.
Entra's strategy is built around the following three focus areas.
Profitable growth Environmental leadership Customer satisfaction
Entra's vision "The most satisfied people work in Entra buildings" has extended Entra's definition of customers to include all the people working in Entra buildings. Broadening the customer definition from around 600 tenants to around 60,000 users of Entra buildings provides new opportunities and has extended our strategic positioning and how we interact with our customers.
Entra has a solid track record of portfolio growth and value creation. During 2021, the value of Entra's property portfolio increased by 19 per cent to 67.5 billion as a result of yield compression, solid project development, letting activities and acquisition of properties.
Entra signed new and renegotiated leases with annual rent totalling 346 million (150,000 sqm) in 2021, and the occupancy ratio was 97.8 per cent (97.9 per cent) at year-end.
Entra also completed four projects adding 65.100 sqm to the management portfolio, and startet two new development projects totalling 32,800 sqm in 2021.
Rental income was 2,508 million (2,353 million) in 2021. Net income from property management was 1,534 million (1,451 million). Net value changes were 5,264 million (5,705 million) and profit before tax was 6,825 million (7,274 million) for 2021.
Entra has throughout 2021 again demonstrated its ability to attract external debt capital on attractive terms from multiple sources of funding, and Entra's average interest rate was 2.25 per cent (2.38 per cent) at year-end.
Entra's dividend policy is to distribute approximately 60 per cent of Cash Earnings to its shareholders. The board of Entra will propose to distribute a semi-annual dividend of NOK 2.60 per share for the second half of 2021. Entra's total dividend for 2021 will then be NOK 5.10 per share compared to NOK 4.90 per share for 2020.
One of Entra's goals is to provide the best customer experience. Entra takes full responsibility for property management of its properties and has a dedicated customer service centre to provide consistent and timely follow-up to enquiries. Entra works actively on maintaining good relationships with its tenants to achieve high customer satisfaction and to maximize lease renewal rates. The Norwegian Tenant Index is used to measure customer satisfaction. In 2021, Entra again achieved an exceptionally high customer satisfaction score of 87 versus an industry average of 82. On environmental matters, Entra achieved a customer score of 87 compared with an industry average of 75, showing that our tenants truly value Entra's environmental efforts. The customer service centre contributes to increasing customer satisfaction and forms the foundation for efficient management of properties.
Entra targets early engagement with its existing tenants ahead of their lease maturities and works together with its tenants to design workspace that meets their current needs and future requirements. Adopting to and making use of new technology has become a core priority in Entra.


Entra continues to implement and seek new environmental initiatives to meet climate-related challenges, to meet stakeholder expectations and to reduce costs. The Group has developed a corporate culture with a strong environmental focus throughout the whole organisation. Entra's environmental awareness and work to combat climate change is built on the precautionary principle. The Group's environment strategy includes goals and measures for the group, for its counterparties, for the property portfolio and for the development projects. The strategy has the following overall objectives:
Entra has been a leader in the development of environmentally sustainable buildings and has had high environmental ambitions in all its projects. Entra's target is to achieve a rating of BREEAM-NOR Excellent or better for new and BREEAM-NOR
Very Good or better for refurbishment/redevelopment projects. On completion of buildings currently under construction, approximately 73 per cent of the rental income and 69 per cent of the property values in the portfolio stem from properties that are or are in process of being BREEAM certified.
For many years, Entra has had a strong focus on reducing energy consumption in its portfolio. Through several measures of varying scope, Entra has managed to reduce the energy consumption of its management properties by 39 per cent since 2011. Energy consumption constitutes some 75 per cent of Entra's CO2 footprint. By 2030, Entra has an ambition to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 CO2 emissions by at least 70 per cent as part of the strategy to become net zero carbon.
To provide insight for our stakeholders, we submit response the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB) and were proud to achieve Green Star status with a total score of 92 in 2021.
For a further description of Entra's ESG strategy and achievements, see the separate section on ESG which is included in this annual report.
As of 31.12.21 Entra's management properties (i.e. not including the development projects) located in Oslo constitute 66 per cent of the portfolio values whereas the properties located in Trondheim constitute nine per cent, Bergen nine per cent, Sandvika five per cent, Stavanger five per cent and Drammen five per cent
In January 2022, Entra closed the acquisition of the Oslo Areal portfolio of 17 properties located in Oslo and Sandvika. At the same time, five assets in Stavanger were divested and put into a larger, local structure. Including these transactions, Entra's greater Oslo exposure (Oslo and Sandvika) have increased to 79 per cent and the Stavanger exposure have decreased to two per cent.

As of 31 December 2021, Entra's property portfolio comprised 96 assets, and the market value of the portfolio was 67.5 billion. A full list of the properties can be found on pages 186 to 188.

Entra's management portfolio consists of 80 buildings with a total area of approximately 1.2 million square metres. As of 31 December 2021, the management portfolio had a market value of around 60.1 billion (49 billion), and the occupancy rate was 97.8 per cent (97.9 per cent). The weighted average unexpired terms for the Group's leases were 6.8 years (6.9) for the management portfolio and 7.1 years (7.1) when the project portfolio is included. Entra focuses the portfolio on the major cities in Norway: Oslo and the surrounding region, Bergen, Trondheim and Stavanger.
Entra's properties are valued by two external appraisers (Akershus Eiendom/JLL and Newsec) on a quarterly basis. The market value of the portfolio in Entra's balance sheet is based on the average of the two external appraisers' valuation of each individual property. Valuation of the management portfolio is performed on a property-by-property basis, using individual DCF models and taking into account the property's current characteristics combined with the external appraisers' estimated return requirements and expectations as to future market development. The market value is defined as the external appraisers' estimated transaction value of the individual properties on the valuation date. The project portfolio is valued based on the same principles, but with a deduction for remaining investments and specific project risk on the valuation date. The land and development portfolio is valued based on actually zoned land.

Year-on-year, the portfolio net yield decreased from 4.44 to 4.24 per cent. The 12 months rolling rent increased from 2,329 million to 2,724 million, whereas the portfolio market rent has increased from 2,444 million to 2,784 million.

The activity level in the Oslo letting market was very high particularly in the second half of 2021, and rent levels have remained flat to slightly positive during the pandemic. According to Entra's Consensus report, the Oslo office vacancy is expected to decrease towards 6.5 per cent as economic activity and employment growth continue to pick up. The new-build volume for the coming years is limited, particularly in the city center of Oslo. Combined with the strong underlying CPI growth there is expectations for solid market rental growth in the years to come.
Bergen has proven to be robust during the Covid-19 pandemic. The overall office vacancy is currently around eight per cent and seven per cent in the city centre There is limited supply of modern premises in the city center and fairly strong demand.
Rent levels in Bergen has grown by around seven per cent in Bergen during 2021, and there has been downward pressure on yields.
In Trondheim, the vacancy in the city center is around seven per cent. Overall office vacancy is currently around eight per cent, and vacancy is highest in the fringe areas of the city. Rent levels in the central Trondheim have increased by around 10 per cent over the last two years.
In Stavanger, the vacancy is around nine per cent. For the city center and at Hinna Park, there is demand for modern, flexible, and centrally located office premises, and rent levels have held up well.

The main growth and value lever for Entra stems from property and project development, and the company normally has 5-10 per cent of the portfolio value in project development. During 2021 and also into 2022, the share of assets in project development has increased to 10-15 per cent. The company has considerable expertise and experience in zoning, planning, building and redevelopment of office properties.

In Grønland 32, a central riverside location in Drammen outside Oslo, Entra refurbished 5,000 sqm in a 7,400 sqm office building. The project was 100 per cent pre-let and was completed in Q2 2021.

In Tullinkvartalet in Oslo, Entra has built a new 21,900 sqm office property in Universitetsgata 7-9, finalised in Q3 2021. Occupancy at completion was 99 per cent, and Entra has set out high environmental ambitions for the project, aiming for a BREEAM-NOR Excellent classification.

Next to Tullinkvartalet, Entra redeveloped the property Universitetsgata 2 with the Rebel concept. Rebel is a tech company hub managed 50/50 by Entra and an external partner. The 28,100 sqm building consists of office spaces, co-working areas, a conference center and restaurants. The project was finalised in Q3 2021 and occupancy in the office part was 96 per cent let at completion and more than 60 tech companies have moved into the building.

At Tøyen in Oslo, Entra has refurbished 10,100 sqm in Hagegata 22-24. The refurbished office space makes up almost half of the building area, and occupancy in the project space remained at about 85 per cent during the construction period. The project was 100 per cent pre-let and was completed in Q4 2021.
As of 31 December 2021, Entra had seven ongoing development projects exceeding 50 million, with total project area of around 115,200 sqm. These projects are presented below. A full list of the project properties can be found at the back of this report.

Schweigaards gate 15 is a 22,900 sqm office building located near Oslo central station. The redevelopment is estimated for completion in Q2 2023. The project was 34 per cent pre-let at year-end.

Entra is redeveloping the 14,200 sqm property in Møllendalsveien 6-8 in Bergen. The project was 95 per cent pre-let to two public tenants on 10-year contracts at year-end. The property is redeveloped in two phases, and the first phase was completed in Q4 2021. The second phase will be finalized in Q4 2022.

Entra is building a new 11,900 sqm office building at Nygårdsgaten 91-93 in central Bergen. The project is planned for completion in Q4 2022, and the project was 58 per cent pre-let at year-end. The project aims for a BREEAM-NOR Excellent classification.

In Holtermanns veg 1-13 in Trondheim, Entra is constructing a 20,900 sqm office building, this is the second of three planned buildings totaling 48,000 sqm. This second building was 29 per cent pre-let at year-end. Expected completion of this building is in Q2 2023. This project aims for a BREEAM-NOR Excellent classification.
Entra's portfolio of development sites contains properties with zoned development potential, but where no project start decision has been made. As of 31 December 2021, Entra had five development sites with a total area of around 110,000 sqm. A list of the properties with defined land and development potential can be found at the end of this report. In addition, Entra continuously works to develop and extend the area in its existing portfolio.
The Norwegian transaction market for commercial real estate reached record levels in 2021, both in terms of volume and number of transactions. Total transaction value was around 160 billion in 2021 compared with 113 billion in 2020. The transaction pipeline and activity going into 2022 is solid, and the transaction market going forward is expected to remain strong. Investor surveys show that a very high proportion of investors (80-90 per cent) report to be net buyers in the next 12 months.
New construction volume ended up well below the yearly average, at approximately 140,000 sqm seen over the period of 1998 to 2021. 2022 is expected to see even less new construction because of fluctuating commodity prices and many projects being postponed during the pandemic
The year-on-year growth in the November CPI, used to adjust most of Entra's leases, came in at 5.1 per cent in 2021. The financing market continues to be well functioning, particularly for solid counterparties like Entra. Norway's Central Bank increased the policy rate to 0.5 per cent in December 2021 and has signalled further increases over the next 12 months. There is some concern among investors due to projected increase in interest rates. Yields are, however, not expected to increase significantly, even with the higher geopolitical uncertainty, as the real interest rate, as a function of the expected interest rate and inflation estimates, is expected to be negative for many years to come.
Entra actively seeks to improve the quality of its property portfolio and focuses on acquisitions of selected properties and urban development projects in specific areas within its four core markets: Oslo and the surrounding region, Bergen, Trondheim and Stavanger. Targeted locations include both areas in the city centers and selected clusters on public transportation hubs outside the city centers, allowing Entra to offer rental opportunities at a price range that fits its customer base. Entra's experience, financial strength and knowledge of its tenants makes the company well positioned to make acquisitions that meets these criteria. The acquisition and divestment strategy is flexible, allowing Entra to adapt to feedback from customers and market changes, and to create and respond to market opportunities as they arise.

The Group´s financing is diversified between bank and capital market instruments. The interest-bearing debt of 26,903 million as of year-end has a diversified maturity structure, with an average time to maturity of 6.1 years (5.4 years). As a general principle, Entra's financing is based on a negative pledge of the Group´s assets that enables a broad and flexible financing mix. Entra has strong banking relationships and currently has significant business activities with five of the top six Nordic banks. Further, Entra has a strong presence in the Norwegian debt capital market as it is among the largest issuers in Norwegian kroner.
During the year, Entra's interest-bearing nominal debt increased by 5,757 million to 26,903 million (21,146 million). The increase in interest-bearing debt was mainly due to project investments. The change in interest-bearing debt comprised an increase in bond and commercial financing of 5,829 million and 200 million, respectively, and a decrease in bank financing of 272 million.
The capital markets funding as of 31 December 2021 consisted of bonds and commercial paper outstanding of 19,886 million (14,057 million) and 1,400 million (1,200 million), respectively, which accounted for 79 per cent of total interest-bearing debt.
Bank funding of 5,617 million (5,889 million) represents the remaining part of the financing mix. The Group's bank facilities are mainly revolving credit facilities at the ultimate parent company, which enables active liquidity management by adjusting the facilities according to any ongoing cash needs or surplus. The Group's liquid assets amounted to 309 million (217 million) as of 31 December 2021. Net nominal interest-bearing debt after deduction of liquid assets was 26,594 million (20,930 million). In addition, the Group had committed, unutilised credit facilities totalling 8,830 million (7,290 million).
Entra is obtaining increasing access to "green financing" from debt investors, banks and other financial institutions, and 69 per cent of Entra's funding was "green" on 31 December 2021. Entra is well positioned to utilise this conditional and favourable capital source as the development and management portfolio consist of many highly environment friendly and BREEAM certified properties. Entra is established as a high-quality Green Bond issuer and has to date issued 13 Green Bonds with a total outstanding nominal amount of 15,546 million. CICERO (Norway's foremost institute for interdisciplinary climate research) has certified the Green Bond Framework. Entra was awarded the rating Dark Shade of Green, which is the best rating possible.

The Group's average interest cost as of 31 December 2021 was 2.25 per cent (2.38 per cent), and 47 per cent (50 per cent) of the Group's total interest-bearing debt was subject to fixed interest rates. The change in average interest rate stems mainly from repurchase of outstanding bonds with high coupon rates. At the same time, the average remaining term to maturity of the Group's interest rate hedging instruments was 3.1 years (2.4 years).
The Group manages interest rate risk through floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps and fixed rate bonds. The table below shows the maturity profile and contribution from these fixed rate instruments, as well as the maturity profile for credit margins on debt.

Entra has a strong investment grade credit rating assigned by Moody's at Baa1 with Stable Outlook. According to the latest credit opinion, Entra's Baa1 long-term issuer rating reflects (1) its position as the largest office property company in Norway; (2) its leadership position in office properties in attractive locations on the fringes of the central business district (CBD) in Oslo; (3) its modern, high-quality property portfolio; (4) a clear, well-defined strategy to focus on offices in Norway's four largest cities and government tenants; (5) the large exposure
to highly creditworthy governments and public tenants with very long-dated average lease maturities and consistently high occupancy rates across all cities; and (6) good liquidity and a high unencumbered asset ratio.
The Moody's Baa1 rating contributes to a strong credit availability for Entra in domestic and international debt capital markets and enables Entra to maintain its debt maturity profile.
The Group has adopted a conservative financial strategy that secures financial flexibility throughout an economic cycle. In this respect, Entra's financial profile is characterised by a moderate loan-to-value ratio, strong interest coverage ratio, diversified debt maturity and an ample liquidity position. Entra targets a loan-to-value ratio which shall be below 50 per cent over time. The Group´s loan-to-value ratio as at 31 December 2021 was 38.4 per cent, up from 36.4 per cent at year-end 2020. The increase in loan-to-value ratio is mainly due to property
investments during 2021, however somewhat counteracted by increased property valuations. The interest coverage ratio increased slightly to 3.5 in 2021 from 3.4 in 2020.
The Group manages financial risk in accordance with a framework included in the financial policy. The main financial risks, in addition to financial leverage referred to above, are interest rate risk, financing and liquidity risk. The Group's financial policy is revised at least on an annual basis.

Through owning, developing and managing properties, Entra is exposed to various risks that may affect the Group's ability to achieve the overall strategic targets and goals. Entra works continuously and in a structured manner to identify, monitor and manage these risks. The Group's risk management takes place through a structured analysis and decision-making process with the aim of creating a balance between the desire to limit uncertainty or risk and the task of creating growth and shareholder value.
Risk management aims to balance risk limitation and achieving defined objectives. To be able to estimate the effect of identified risks, an internal risk matrix is made where each individual risk is assessed, both from the perspective of effect and probability. The following 12 identified risks are viewed as the most important for the company to manage going forward.

A reduction in access to finance could weaken the company's global credit rating from Moody's, refinancing possibilities and ability to finance new investments. In such a situation, the company could be exposed to an increase in financing costs which would weaken the underly ing result, debt service ability and dividend capacity. Greater risk aversion in financial markets could limit access to financing and weaken investor interest in the sector. Non-compliance with environmental regulations can increase cost of financing. |
The development in the company's financing needs, ability and costs is monitored on a continuous basis and reported quarterly in business reviews in order to ensure that the financing operation supports the overall business strategy. We maintain strong relations with five of the top six Nordic banks and participants in the debt capital market. We maintain a diversified financing structure with a balanced maturity profile and financing mix in order to ensure stable and predictable access to capital. Entra established, and has kept, an official global, and a strong investment grade, credit rating Baa1 with stable Outlook from Moody's in 2018. The rating contributes to a significant increase in credit availability and has enabled Entra to further extend its debt maturity profile. We have committed, unutilized revol ving credit facilities in order to secure financing of debt maturities due in the next 12 months as well as interesting investment opportunities. We limit interest rate risk through interest rate hedges and by issuing fixed rates bonds. We monitor closely, and act upon, any |
The market for commercial real estate financing has been open and attracti vely priced during the year. Market interest rates are still on historically low levels and are expected to remain at relatively low levels for an extended period of time. The acquisition of Oslo Areal in 2022 has brought the LTV up to approxima tely 47 per cent. However, this is fully manageable in light of Entra's high quality assets with limited residual risk combined with a very strong tenant mix on long WAULTs. We believe that Entra will be an attrac tive borrower in the coming period based on the company's predictable cash flow, strong tenant base, low leverage and solid global credit rating. Increased focus on EU Taxonomy and increasing reporting requirements on environmental track record and ambitions. |

How we monitor and manage the risk
Entra's employees receive HSE training according to 'the Entra school', which covers statutory and Entra policy HSE training. As part of this, all new employees are given HSE training and an introduction to Entra's HSE management systems.
Entra has an open, clear and systematic HSE communication; and HSE is a topic at all board, top management, and employee meetings.
Entra has HSE management systems to ensure that we comply with HSE requirements and internal routines
Entra continuously focuses on enhancing the safety culture in the organization
Entra's HSE Manager represents property developers in the managing committee for an industry-wide HSE system.
Covid-19 has affected all Entra's business areas in different ways through 2021.
Appropriate infection control measures according to legislation and recommendations from the government and local public administrations have been implemented; both in connection with the operation of buildings, in building construction projects and for Entra's own employees.
The ordinary HSE work has progressed as normal throughout the year. There is clear focus on identifying and avoiding unwanted incidents on all levels of Entra. Severe incidents are followed up and investigated to ensure both learning and future avoidance.
Entra has had very high construction activity through 2021 following the start of several new development projects.
The increased project load also means that Entra has employed contractors without a proven history working with Entra's HSE policies which increases the HSE risk in the project portfolio.
To reduce the risk of injuries at the construction sites special attention has been given to HSE Planning in the 'early phase' of the projects before start-up at the construction site.

Risk factors Description/definition
Occupancy ratio Responsible:
The occupancy ratio in the management portfolio affects Entra's bottom line through growth in rental income and lower operating costs.
The occupancy ratio in the management portfolio relates mainly to lease expiries and to what extent we are able to renegotiate with existing tenants. In addition, projects completed with vacant space will affect the occupancy ratio.
In the long term, the occupancy ratio is also affected by how flexible our buildings are regarding changes in customer demand.
The pre-let occupancy ratio in development projects is a key measure for indicating the level of risk Entra takes when we make investment decision.
Fluctuating energy cost may increase tenant focus on total cost of letting and may have adversely effect on rent levels and on tenant appetite for less energy efficient buildings.
The occupancy ratio in the management portfolio and in the development project portfolio are important key figures in all external and internal reporting. Vacancies and market opportunities are monitored regularly, and reported quarterly through a detailed overview of all forthcoming lease expiries in the next four years.
Vacancies and market opportunities are monitored regularly and reported on quarterly
Expiring lease contracts in the next four years, and the probability of renegotiation, are evaluated continuously. The largest customer accounts are followed up with separate "key account strategies". For all the major leases that expires during the next four years we focus on early involvement and broad contact with the relevant customers to identify future needs, flexibility related to increased/reduced space, and different ways of organizing the workplace.
In all ongoing development projects, dedicated letting teams are established, consisting of letting, property and project resources. The letting teams work to ensure an optimized design and solution for the relevant building to attract new tenants. The pre-let occupancy ratio in projects is reported and followed up continuously and reported on externally every quarter.
In the planning of future development projects, a separate early phase strategy is prepared in order to secure a flexible building and an attractive product independent of long-term workspace trends. Here, we combine markets and customer knowledge with building and operational expertise.
In relation to Covid-19 implications we are in regular contact with potential and existing tenants for direct customer insight, sharing relevant research, experience, analyses to better understand future needs and to reduce uncertainty.
Continuously monitor energy efficiency and work to reduce energy consumption. Screen and prioritize which buildings should have mitigating improvements.
Through the Covid-19 pandemic, both existing and potential tenants are reevaluating previous office solutions, letting and decision processes are thus taking more time.
The occupancy rate in the management portfolio during 2021, has been consistently high and in line with, or better, than historical averages for Entra.
Entra started several new projects through 2021 reducing the pre-let occupancy rate in the overall project portfolio. The letting activity is high on all ongoing projects, market fundamentals are favorable and there still is a long time to completion on projects where the pre-let occupancy is in the lower range.
Major leases expiring in the coming years could affect the occupancy ratio negatively.
The increased focus from potential tenants on new work place strategies and how to organize the office space can potentially impact the occupancy ratio negatively on forthcoming renegotiations.
Due to increased rent levels in Central Oslo, tenants in the public sector are increasingly searching for alternative locations outside city centres.

| Project profitability Responsible: - EVP Project Development |
Entra uses the net present value method to determine if a project is profitable using a discount rate that reflects the individual risk profile of the project. Project profitability is assessed continu ously in relation to changes in financial key figures; mainly yield-on-cost and economic occupancy rate. Profitability is measured and reported against assumptions made at the time of the investment decision. Investments are also affected by seve ral external factors that are outside the company's control, such as CPI growth, interest rate levels, changes in currency levels, taxes and duties, etc. Sustainable performance may influence cost of financing, project profitability and tenant demand. |
A thorough risk assessment is perfor med before any investments are made. To reduce vacancy risk, it is normally required that a substantial part of the property is pre-let before project commencement. Pre-let requirements is assessed based on a combination of market outlook, demand/supply in relevant micro location and aggregate vacancy risk in the property portfolio. Working with a main contractor on a fixed price contract, including extensive use of turnkey construction contracts, reduces the risk of cost and time overruns.

Letting has progressed well in spite of covid restrictions throug hout the year, and occupancy has increased through 2021.

The risk that Entra does not maintain the expected personnel quality and capacity on critical deliveries within the company's core business. The lack of a solid and convincing ESG strategy may discourage new employees/possibility to attract new employees. On the other hand, com panies with focus on ESG increasingly attract talent. |
The development and management of competence is an integral part of the business strategy. We have initiated measures on recruitment to attract and retain relevant talent and applicants with future-oriented competence. We work systematically with talent development and succession planning. We follow up employees with individual plans to develop competence and career development, including, but limited to, the "Entra School". Our employees participate in profes sional networks and participate on external courses. We conduct an annual employee survey to measure the engagement and satisfaction of employees and make action plans where required. We benchmark and assess compensa tion and benefits to ensure that we are competitive. Through the Covid-19 pandemic, we have systematically taken proactive measures to ensure the collective and individual experience of safety and support employees to facilitate productivity, motivation and profes sional development.

In general very high employment growth rate and low unemployment following the rebound of the economy post covid-19. There is still a high level of activity in the real estate sector and a strong competition for talent and attractive candidates. Within certain areas of expertise, such as ICT/digitalisation, building and envi ronmental technology and technical management, we are experiencing strong competition in the labour market for leading edge competence. Compared to a all time low turnover in 2020, we experience a significant increase in turnover rate in 2021. Uncertainty in respect of the future ownership structure for Entra has negatively affected the job satisfaction within certain areas of the company. Entra still experience a competitive advantage in the recruitment of new employees due to a strong ESG employer brand, however a sustainable workplace is more becoming a hygiene factor in the competition for talent acquisition. |

Information security risk includes the threats that an external or internal attacker exploits vulnerability in Entra's ICT systems, processes, building technology systems or applications in order to cause harm to the company and/or users of the company's systems. Information security risk deals with the requirement for reliability and security in relation to the transfer and storage of information, including, but not limited to: - Cyber security that covers securing information values that are vulnera ble via access from ICT systems - ICT security that covers securing information and communications technology in relation to confidentia lity, integrity and availability. |
We focus on security and employees' knowledge and attitudes, including training of all of Entra's employees. To increase focus and improve understanding of ICT threats, nanolear ning (short, internet-based learning sessions) are implemented for all employees. We use suppliers with certifications that focus on security. We have outsourced the operational part of ICT security to one of Norway's top-class companies. We regularly carry out analyses of critical systems related to operation of our buildings and the company, some major systems are connected to the external ICT security company's platform and fire wall. |

It is of key strategic importance to Entra to operate our business in a sustainable manner and it is a prerequisite for the company's long-term results and value creation. Entra has a systematic approach towards understanding and managing the company's impact on society, as well as stakeholder requirements and expectations. This report highlights our 2021 activities in greater detail and outlines what we have planned for 2022.
To enable our stakeholders to compare and evaluate our reporting, we compile and align the ESG reporting for 2021 with three reporting frameworks: the European Public Real Estate Association Sustainability Best Practices Recommendations on Sustainability Reporting (EPRA BPR), the Global Reporting Initiative Standards (GRI) and the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
The EPRA BPR Guidelines provide a consistent way of measuring sustainability performance for real estate companies and cover environmental, social and corporate governance categories. The GRI Standards, applicable to all industries, include both relevant disclosures for a range of economic,

environmental and social topics as well as reporting principles related to the reporting process. This report has been developed in accordance with the GRI Core option. The TCFD framework provides for consistent climate-related financial risk disclosures. The EPRA, GRI and TCFD tables and references are included at the back of this report.
Entra believes that 100 per cent of its income and investments will be eligible for EU Taxonomy alignment. While actual requirements for alignment is still to be finalised, Entra has put significant efforts into understanding the new regulations, and will start reporting according to this framework during 2022.
In this report we have also set out a review of our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) strategy relative to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) against
Entra has engaged Deloitte to conduct a review and provide a limited level of assurance on Entra's ESG reporting. The review and assurance are carried out in accordance with the assurance standard ISAE 3000 "Assurance Engagements other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information" established by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board. The auditor's conclusion and scope of work is presented in the Auditor's report, included at the back of this Annual report.
ESG is fundamental to Entra's strategy and has been so for more than a decade. The Board of Directors determine the ESG strategy and review performance. This includes responding to climate related opportunities such as investment in renewables, improvements in energy efficiency and investment in low-carbon solutions. The Board also review and determine how to respond to different climate-related risks including policy, regulatory and legal risks, as well as the physical risks to our assets.

In addition to the quarterly reviews, Entra's business units also present in-depth business reviews to the Board of Directors at least on an annual basis. These reviews also include ESG targets and KPIs. Targets are aggregated into company KPIs which are followed up on a regular basis.
The CEO is responsible for following up the implementation of the ESG strategy in Entra. Entra's risk management framework is structured to enable effective identification, evaluation and management of climate-related risk. Ownership and management of all key risks, including climate related risks, are assigned to members of the corporate management who are responsible for implementing key risk mitigation plans. Implementation is mostly handled by the individual business units and is reported to the CEO/CFO through quarterly business reviews and in corporate management meetings.
Entra also has an ESG Committee with a separate responsibility to evaluate, follow-up and implement the ESG strategy as well as new initiatives. This Committee reports to corporate management on a regular basis.
It is important for Entra to maintain an open and honest dialogue with its main stakeholders. Such dialogue provides valuable feedback and enables Entra to continue to improve, to build trust and to enhance its reputation.
A process towards selecting the annual report's content and confirming its validity is undertaken on an annual basis. Entra engages with various groups and individuals to understand
specific opportunities and concerns about our business and its impact. Such engagement is, amongst others, based on dialogue, meetings and feedback from business partners, investors, customers, authorities and employees. Other sources of information include an assessment of media and industry reports. In 2021, the materiality analysis and focus areas have been revisited and the validity confirmed by Entra's Board and management.
Entra's stakeholders are particularly concerned about how we handle environmental matters, governance, ethics and anti-corruption measures, our corporate culture and employee satisfaction and our role as a major owner and urban developer of properties in the largest cities in Norway.
Entra believes that a systematic approach towards understanding and managing the company's external factors is a prerequisite for future value creation. The main steps in selecting the focus areas involve identifying and understanding topics that are important to our business strategy and to our stakeholders.
The focus areas and priorities are based on a broader materiality analysis of areas where Entra and its stakeholders believe the company can make an important and sustainable impact. The topics are important for future progress and long-term value creation. The outcome of the analysis is in all material aspects similar to previous years and is illustrated on the next page.


As a major participant in the Norwegian commercial real estate market, we believe that we have an important role to play in supporting Norway's response to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To do this, we have reviewed our sustainability strategy and program against the SDGs to highlight where we align.
We see the following goals as particularly significant to our business and how we operate: SDG 9 Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, SDG 11 Sustainable cities and communities, SDG 12 Responsible consumption and production, and SDG 13 Climate action.

Goal 9: Industry, innovation and infrastructure Entra focuses on innovation and actively seeks innovative environmental solutions for its properties and building projects. Entra focuses primarily on low energy consumption
and renewable energy in the existing asset portfolio and in all of its projects, with an overall ambition that new and totally renovated buildings will have an energy consumption of less than 40 kWh per sqm (close to zero energy buildings). Entra also seeks solutions for increased production, storage and exchange of renewable energy.

and accessible for residents and others that work or visit the area. We take an active role in
developing the areas and public spaces around our buildings, and we ensure they are accessible to those with disabilities. We seek to use environment friendly materials and solutions when developing and operating our buildings. We seek solutions for re-use and upcycling of furniture and materials to reduce carbon emissions, and we focus on making and maintaining our buildings climate resilient.

Entra sets performance requirements in its development projects which focus on the efficient use of natural resources, lifecycle
efficiency and high levels of waste reduction and recycling. This is reflected in our management of our buildings where we set targets for waste sorting and place focus on re-use of materials in our projects.

We have set science-based targets which are set towards not exceeding a 1.5 degrees Celsius rise in global temperature, in line with the Paris agreement. This means we are committed to
reducing our carbon emissions and making sure our portfolio is climate-resilient. For a more comprehensive description of our work on taking climate action, please see the section below.
Environmental leadership is one of Entra's three strategic pillars, and Entra has over many years developed a corporate culture with a strong environmental focus throughout the entire company. Entra's work to prevent climate change is built on the precautionary principle. Entra's environmental leadership has become well-known among its stakeholders, and the environmental commitment contributes to its ability to attract the best and most competent resources.
Entra is deeply committed to contribute to the transition towards a low carbon society and the overarching target is to become a Net Zero Carbon company within 2030, according to the definitions and targets set out by World Green Building Council.
Entra's environment strategy has a 360° approach and includes strategies and targets for 1) own organisation, 2) the property portfolio and property management, 3) the development projects, and 4) stakeholders, including suppliers and customers, amongst others.
At the core of the strategy lies Entra's continuous efforts to reduce energy consumption along with initiatives to produce green energy in order to reduce emissions from the buildings in its operational phase.
For new-build projects, Entra's long-term goal is to have CO2 emissions that are 50 per cent below the industry average, in accordance with the criteria's set in Futurebuilt Zero 1 . For redevelopment projects, stronger focus is put on retaining and upgrading existing buildings rather than demolishing and building new. A greater focus on reuse of materials in accordance with Entra's strategy for circular economy has been developed. CO2 accounting is applied for all new-build and redevelopment projects to better evaluate the projects impact and use of low emission materials. The results achieved regarding CO2 emissions of some of Entra's reference buildings and pioneer projects in terms of environmental leadership are used as benchmarks for the ongoing and planned project portfolio.

Entra's overarching target is to become a Net Zero Carbon company within 2030. This is an ambitious target that needs focused work on reducing both direct and indirect emissions throughout the value chain. The most important measures will be taken within property management and property development where knowledge and expertise about existing and new solutions will be crucial. All employees in Entra are obliged to contribute, to influence and to continuously search for solutions to solve the problem.
Entra has a corporate culture where environmental awareness is strongly embedded at all levels in the organization. This is something that Entra continuously seek to develop further and use as a lever in implementing an even broader environmental focus. Entra strives for a culture in which every one of the company's employees seeks to influence suppliers, customers, and partners to make wise environmental choices. Entra strives to attract the best employees and actively seeks to develop employee competence through R&D projects, education, and training. It is a strategic priority for Entra to stimulate this type of competence building to increase both employees' and Entra's overall expertise within the field. Entra works actively to increase environmental engagement and responsibility among its employees, customers, and suppliers. Entra still has much to gain from reinforcing its focus on a circular economy, reduced consumption, reuse and recycling of building materials, and waste handling.
Entra has an ambition to act as a role model in relation to lessees' environmental focus. As a consequence, Entra's head office in Oslo is certified in accordance with the environment requirements set out in "Miljøfyrtårn" (Environment Lighthouse).

Entra's ambition is that the operation of its buildings is climate neutral. Today, energy consumption amounts to approximately 77 per cent of Entra's CO2 emissions from Scope 1 and 2 and is thus the most important source impacting our operational carbon footprint. Reducing energy consumption in the managed assets is therefore an important part of the path towards net zero carbon by 2030. From 2020 to 2021, Entra reduced its greenhouse gas intensity from 4.45 kg CO2 e/sqm to 4.00 kg CO2 e/sqm.
As part of the net zero carbon strategy Entra has set a target to reduce its Scope 1 and 2 CO2 footprint by at least 70 per cent from 2015-2030, based on the science-based target methodology and principles. This will be achieved through reduced energy consumption, increased production of green energy, phasing out harmful cooling media, reducing the quantity of waste, and focusing on green transport. The rapid developments taking place within prop-tech, solar energy and battery technology contribute to our optimism in this regard.

already today, Entra buys guarantees of origin ("green power") corresponding to the electricity consumption of its buildings. Entra will also gradually produce more and more renewable energy through new development projects, on refurbishment projects and with solar panels on the roof of existing buildings.
Entra has also carried out several green measures in its buildings, amongst others through green benefit agreements together with the tenants as further described below. This has been an important contributor to succeeding in reducing energy consumption. This type of investment usually has a long payback period, and Entra has adopted a slightly lower return requirement in relation to environment investments and innovation that protects the environment.
Entra works actively with influencing and setting requirements for its suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders in order to contribute to the "green transition". Specifically, this means that Entra puts environmental matters on the agenda in meetings with its counterparties and seeks to work with companies with a credible environmental profile. Entra sets environmental requirements on its suppliers and partners through conditions on purchasing and social responsibility. Entra has imposed a total prohibition on the use of materials hazardous to health and the environment that are on the Substance of Very High Concern (SVHC) list and works towards fossil-free construction sites.
Entra works to increase awareness of the environment among users of its buildings. Not only its customers, the tenants of the buildings, but also their employees and visitors are included in this definition. Entra seeks to implement environmental measures that are visible and inspiring for the people that work in our buildings such as working with the lunch restaurants to reduce food waste and removing plastic packaging. Entra also works to enable the implementation of environmental measures, both by tenants individually and in cooperation with
Entra. An example is waste sorting where Entra has developed waste sorting stations and supporting material/information brochures. This initiative also underpins Entra's ambition to achieve at least 70 per cent waste sorting on its properties.
These agreements are Entra's own scheme for working with customers on environmental measures. Entra's role is to identify the potential measures together with customers and then implement and provide financing. Customers refund the cost through an increased rent for a set period on the basis that the customer's share of energy cost is reduced by more than the increase in rent. Once the initial investment has been paid down, the customer receives the benefit through lower common costs while Entra owns a more valuable property. Since 2011, Entra has signed more than 100 Green Benefit Agreements with its tenants.
In addition, Entra will continue to focus on reduction, reusing and recycling when making tenant alterations and furnishing premises and common areas, and will seek to influence customers and suppliers to make the right environmental choices.
Entra has been successful in making its environmental commitment known to its stakeholders, and has shared, and will continue to share, its expertise and experience with other industry participants.
Entra participates actively in various technical bodies, industry cooperation and industry organisations such as Powerhouse collaboration, Næring for Klima, Norwegian Green Building Council, Norsk Eiendom and Norges Bygg og Eiendomsforening (NBEF). Entra has signed up for Oslo European Green Capital Industry Challenges and has participated in several R&D projects such as "Svalvent" together with Sintef.

Entra Industry average (Enova)
Internal measurement method deviates from EPRA methodology as it adjusts for differences in e.g. outside temperature.
Over time Entra has built a culture in which energy management is an integrated part of its operating organisation. Entra has worked diligently to reduce energy consumption in its portfolio (from 202 kwh/sqm in 2011 to 123 kWh/sqm in 2021). Energy consumption in 2020 and 2021 was particularly low as activity in the buildings was significantly reduced during periods of partial lock down through the Covid-19 pandemic. An important reason why Entra has succeeded in this work is focused and systematic work and technical upgrades over time, supported by an energy management system which has made it possible to measure, compare and follow up various initiatives. Entra has operational staff with high technical competence who focus on deviations and energy use. Entra is now at a level where continued reductions in consumption primarily will be driven through technological development and continuous upgrading of the management portfolio to green buildings.
Entra will maintain its focus on reducing energy consumption in its management portfolio and has a long-term target to get the entire portfolio below 100 kWh per sqm by 2030. The short term target and KPI for 2022 is 126 kWh, reflecting a return to normal during 2022 with regards to utilization of the properties. Entra also works to reduce the load on the energy grid and lower costs in relation to energy intensity in the portfolio.

Powerhouse Brattørkaia
Entra has BREEAM-In-Use certified the asset performance and management of 20 buildings in the portfolio of which one is certified Outstanding, 15 are certified Excellent and four are certified Very Good. Entra has another six BREEAM-In-Use certifications ongoing as of year-end 2021. In addition, Entra has BREEAM-NOR certified 17 of its newbuild and redevelopment projects and have another four in process.
Entra will continue to enforce a culture where all Entra employees work systematically on all aspects of a circular economy, i.e., reducing, reusing and recycling. This means that Entra will focus on reducing the quantity of waste in buildings as well as looking at solutions for multi-use and reuse. Examples of this are paperless offices, a reduction in food waste in canteens, as well as a focus on reuse in relation to tenant alterations. Entra has set specific ambitions in relation to residual waste, the degree of sorting and water consumption.
In 2019, Entra did a pilot project and implemented solar panels on the roof and facades of Professor Olav Hanssens vei 10 in Stavanger. In 2020, Entra evaluated the attractiveness of all its roof surfaces in terms of potential implementation of solar panels, solutions for surface water and biological diversity, also considering climate risk.
Part of Entra's strategy is to own properties close to public transportation hubs. Entra thus encourages its tenants' employees to use public transport, to cycle or to walk. All Entra's buildings have provision for bicycle parking.
Reducing emissions from refurbishments and project development is where Entra can make the largest contribution. The indirect CO2 emissions from purchased goods and services is many times the level stemming from operations and management of buildings. Entra has developed its environment strategy for project development further during 2021 and set new and ambitious targets.
By 2030, the CO2 emissions from project development shall be reduced by 80 per cent from today's average levels. Going forward, Entra will target Future-Built criterias in new-build and redevelopment projects. The overall target for energy use will be 30-40 kWh/sqm for newbuilds, and for redevelopment projects Entra's target is to obtain at least a 35 per cent reduction in energy consumption. Entra will seek to implement a high proportion of renewable energy on its projects, and all new-build projects shall be certified BREEAM-NOR Excellent or better. Entra will seek to use low emission materials, to considerably reduce waste, and to have close to 100 per cent waste sorting on its projects. In redevelopment projects, focus will be on reuse of inventory and materials. Entra strives to build with robust, reusable materials and installations. Ensuring that new materials are reusable is as important as reusing existing materials.
Entra is a leader in developing environmentally sustainable buildings and has for many years had high environmental ambitions on all its development projects. In cooperation with the Powerhouse alliance, Entra has redeveloped five older buildings to "Plus buildings/Powerhouses" at Kjørbo in Sandvika. At Brattørkaia in Trondheim, a new-built Powerhouse was finalised and opened in 2019.
A Powerhouse produces more energy than it uses over its lifetime, including the materials used for construction. In practice, the buildings therefore act as local power stations that deliver environment-friendly energy. Entra has thus contributed to increased focus of the entire industry to consider "virtually zero use of energy" on both new buildings and redevelopment projects.
In the early phase of development projects/urban development projects, Entra seeks to develop individual projects in connection with their surroundings in order to ensure optimized and efficient utilization of common infrastructure. As an example, Entra participates in a R&D project of a microgrid at Brattørkaia where the Powerhouse delivers energy to neighbouring buildings, electrical buses and buffering in a battery. Other measures include planning for location and design of power plants, supply of district heating and cooling, common solutions for waste, minimization and/or streamlining of traffic and logistics, as well as standard solutions for cluster technology.

In 2020, Entra renovated and expanded a 4,300 sqm office property at Kristian Augusts gate 13 in Oslo where more than 80 per cent of the materials in the project was reused. Kristian August gate 13 became Norway's first circular building according to the FutureBuilt definition. The project demonstrates Entra's strong commitment to work for more sustainable and innovative solutions
Entra's projects are BREEAM-NOR certified, with a goal of obtaining, as a minimum, BREEAM-NOR Excellent for new-build projects, while for redevelopment projects the objective is a minimum of BREEAM-NOR Very Good. This requires, among other things, analysis of life-cycle costs, low energy consumption, a good internal climate and innovative measures. On completion of buildings currently under construction and ongoing certification processes Entra will have BREEAM-NOR built/redeveloped 21 buildings and BREEAM-In-Use certified 26 buildings.

Climate change and environmental damage are two of the most dramatic known challenges facing the world today, and many countries are already feeling the effects. In the Nordic countries the most relevant changes to be expected are in the form of a projected rise in sea level, milder winters, and increased intensity of extreme rainfall. A direct consequence of these are increased challenges related to surface water and flooding.
During 2021, Entra, together with Norconsult, has assessed the climate risks facing Entra in detail. Entra has used a scenariobased approach in analysing climate risks, in accordance with the TCFD framework and mitigating actions are prioritized based on a cost-benefit analysis. Entra aims to continuously monitor and mitigate climate related risk, like other risk factors facing the company.
Entra has used three different scenarios (SSP1-RCP2.6, SSP2- RCP4.5, SSP3-RCP7.0) for temperature and wind related risks. Future sea level rises are based on scenario RCP8.5 for the period 2081-2100. Future changes in rainfall intensity and flood flows in 2100 are based on the relevant regional profile from the Norwegian Centre for Climate Services. For transition risk Entra has used a holistic analysis using a monte-carlo approach to ensure that correlation between the possible future scenarios are taken into account.
Described below under Climate adaption.
The time frames are short (2020 – 2049), medium (2050 – 2079) and long (2080 – 2099).
The TCFD framework distinguish between two categories of climate related risk; 1) risk related to the physical impacts of climate changes, and 2) risk related to the transition to a low-carbon-society.
In the current studies, the impacts in category 1 has been found to be of minor consequence. Analysis in the studies has covered changes in risks related to water, wind, temperature and possible outcomes as wildfires and landslides. These are all events that cause physical consequences, and Entra therefore treats them as physical climate risk.
The expected effects of climate change have been quantified in terms of net present value to assess if and what mitigating measures should be performed at each property. Uncertainty analysis is included within the assessment, in order to gain insight into the volatility and effects caused by lack of data and/ or poor data quality. Overall, the portfolio has high robustness to physical climate changes. Both the extent of and number of required physical mitigating actions have been assessed to be limited.
A similar approach has been used to identify the transition risk. During 2021, this analysis has been performed at the portfolio level. In terms of net present risk, rapid changes in demand for office space and changes in the accepted lifespan of the buildings in the portfolio is found to be of most importance and relevance. This key insight is now included in our risk management process, and Entra will continue to develop further processes to monitor and address these new perspectives.
There is considerable uncertainty ahead. Entra acknowledges this and will continue to develop processes to gain more insight into and knowledge of climate change and the consequences that are related to it. Entra has an active approach to assessing, monitoring, and following up climate related risks. Climate risk, together with other risks is a regular topic at Board of Directors meetings.
Actions and follow-up plans from the assessments are being acted upon by the organization, including, but not limited to, ensuring that Entra's portfolio of assets are prepared for the possible challenges ahead.
With the data at hand, Entra can continue to make better decisions and will focus on how to most efficiently make use of and implement the new information into its business model. The most important skill for Entra will be the ability to change and adapt.
To adapt, one need to understand both the expected changes to come and the possibilities that new technology may bring. During 2021, Entra has mapped and analysed the physical climate risk to 74 of its properties. The goal is to meet every identified risk with the correct level of mitigation measures in order to ensure a suitable balance between investments and potential risk.
The method used for mapping and analysing climate risks is in accordance with the requirements given in BREEAM-In-Use version 6, EU taxonomy annex 2 and the TCFD criteria. The analysis covers the subjects Rsl 01, Rsl 03 and Rsl 06 in BREEAM-In-Use and the table in Appendix A to Annex 2 in EUs taxonomy, which is shown on the next page.
It is important to analyse the climate-related hazards in a correct and reliable manner. The analyses are undertaken by external experts in the following disciplines:
| Temperature-related | Wind-related | Water-related | Solid mass-related | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chronic | Changing temperature (air, freshwater, marine water) |
Changing wind patterns | Changing precipitation patterns and types (rain, hail, snow/ice) |
Coastal erosion |
| Heat stress | Precipitation of hydrological variability | Soil degradation | ||
| Temperature variability | Ocean acidification | Soil erosion | ||
| Permafrost thawing | Saline intrusion | Solifluction | ||
| Sea level rise | ||||
| Water stress | ||||
| Acute | Heat wawe | Cyclone, hurricane, typhoon | Drought | Avalanche |
| Cold wave/frost | Storm (including blizzards, dust and sandstorms) |
Heavy precipitation (rain, hail, snow/ice) |
Landslide | |
| Wildfire | Tornado | Flood (coastal fluival, pluvial, ground water) |
Subsidence | |
| Glacial lake outburs |
Analysis of climate risk and possible future scenarios is not something done only once. It is a continuous process where Entra acknowledge the importance of staying up to date with available information and knowledge. By continuously updating its understanding, Entra cannot only react to, but proactively plan its adaption to, the changing climate.
In the EU taxonomy it is described that assessment of climaterelated risk should be:
"(…) performed using the highest available resolution, state-ofthe-art climate projections across the existing range of future scenarios consistent with the expected lifetime of the activity, including, at least, 10 to 30 year climate projections scenarios for major investments."
State-of-the-art climate projections are based on climate data which have been produced by using the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP) and Representative Concentration Pathways (RCP) for the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 6 (CMIP6). CMIP6 is a collection of global climate model simulations which are used in the UN climate panel's newest assessment reports (AR6). The models used in this project are MPI-ESM1-2-HR and CESM 2, which are considered to give the most correct results for Scandinavia. Simulations with the regional scale Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF) have been used to downscale the data from the two selected climate models to a smaller grid. The following combinations of scenarios have been used for the global climate model simulations and are gathered data from:
The simulations have been run through a historic period (1990 – 2014) and a future period (2015 – 2100) for each scenario, giving a total of six sets of climate data (2 models with 3 scenarios each).
The climate data has been controlled against actual historic measurements and the model which gave the best fit has been used to analyze the different scenarios and different 30- or 20-year periods in the future. The climate data has then been used for temperature-related risk and wind-related risk. Changes in wind and temperature have been considered for each of the three scenarios.
Entra, together with its advisors, have used the state of the art models described above for temperature- and wind-related climate risk to ensure that our analysis is based on the most up to date projections. For water-related and solid mass-related climate risks the models are based on more uncertain input and assessment of these risks are therefore based on other methods, described in the relevant chapters below.
Based on climate data from one of the climate models described in the previous chapter, CESM 2, assessments have been made to examine how the net energy requirements for a building might change in the future if the external temperatures change.
The assessments were done with the same reference building for offices which forms the basis for the net energy requirements in the Regulations on technical requirements for construction works (TEK17). This makes it possible to compare results to those achieved using the climate data typically used today.
Using the reference building as a basis, three different building models were constructed. Each model represents a different building standard in terms of structural properties and technical installations:
This made it possible to consider how sensitive buildings from different time periods are to changes in temperature. For example, the energy consumption in an older building is more dependent on temperature than in a new building. This is due to a greater heating need because the requirements for thermal insulation, technical installations etc. at the time of construction were less strict than they are today. Assessments have been made for both Oslo and Bergen for the time period 2020-2050, with the three emission scenarios described in the previous chapter - SSP1-RCP2.6, SSP2-RCP4.5 and SSP3-RCP7.0.
There are major uncertainties associated with the climate model simulations. One of them is related to the projected cooling over the North Atlantic Ocean suggested by the CESM 2 model, resulting in lower temperatures in some scenarios, in particular for
Bergen. The climate models involved in CMIP6 strongly disagree whether such a large cooling will occur.
Given that Entra mainly own office buildings in big coastal cities in Norway, the results of the simulations and calculations show that temperature related risks for Entra's portfolio are low, rather showing temperature related opportunities due to lower energy demand.
Using the future climate scenarios described above, an analysis of the expected future wind climate for Oslo and Bergen has been performed. Based on the level of detail and the climate data on which the analyses are based, it is considered that the wind climate for these two cities could be represented by the climate data for Eastern Norway and Western Norway/Central Norway. Combined, these climate data will be representative for all cities where Entra has properties.
The two climate models MPI-ESM1-2-HR and CESM 2 form the basis for the analyses that have been performed for wind climate. Wind climate data has been extracted from both climate models for Oslo and Bergen, with three different emission scenarios, as described earlier. To assess the accuracy of the models, the simulated historic wind climate data from the two climate models have been compared to actual historical wind climate data from Oslo and Bergen.
Furthermore, average wind and 50-year return values for wind speed have been calculated for both Oslo and Bergen for each of the three emission scenarios. These values have been compared to the historical climate data from the climate models. Wind roses have also been prepared for the two cities at each of the three emission scenarios, for the time periods 2020-2049, 2050-2079 and 2080-2099.

In addition, an analysis of extreme wind has been performed, represented by a 99th percentile, for both cities and using both climate models.
The extreme wind values found from the climate models were significantly lower than expected, and a simple correction of the wind climate data for each city and climate model was therefore made. The simulated historical climate data from the climate models have been corrected against a set of climate data from the weather model WRF for the same period of time. This resulted in a correction matrix which was applied to the wind climate data from the different emission scenarios.
The results from the wind climate analysis show no clear trend for future mean values and return values. There are tendencies towards a reduction in mean wind speed, but one does not have sufficient grounds to make a firm conclusion. This is in accordance with the report Climate in Norway 2100 from the Norwegian Centre for Climate Services, which concludes that very small changes in mean wind and extreme wind can be expected, based on the same emission scenarios used for these assessments. When it comes to wind roses, they only show minor changes in wind speed and direction over time with the different emission scenarios.
The assessments show low wind related risk for Entra's portfolio since wind patterns and wind speed will probably not change significantly in the future.
The methods and acceptance criteria used to analyse mass related risk are found in the Regulations on technical requirements for construction works (TEK17) and Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorates (NVE) guidelines on quick clay landslide safety (veileder Nr. 1/2019 Sikkerhet mot kvikkleireskred).
According to acceptance criteria in TEK17 Entra's properties must be assessed with an annual probability of different landslides, avalanches, and rockslides of less than 5000-year return period (safety class S3). Assessments regarding quick clay landslides are done by using special criteria based on consequence (tiltakskategori K4).
An initial assessment of the hazard related to quick clay landslides, avalanches and rockslides has been undertaken by an expert group with geotechnical and geological competence. Hazards related to individual buildings are then studied closer to determine risk. NVE has mapped different types of landslides, avalanche and rockslides that are used to identify and determine the degree of hazard and consequence for areas that are potentially exposed.
NVE has also mapped quick clay zones displaying the degree of hazard, consequence and risk of quick clay landslides. These maps together with geotechnical reports that are available for the individual buildings or cluster of buildings are then studied and NVEs guidelines are used to determine actual risk.
The assessments show low mass related risk for Entra's portfolio.
The risk of flooding to each of Entra's properties has been assessed for both existing and future climate scenarios. The risk of flooding from a variety of sources (tidal, fluvial, surface water, sewers, groundwater and reservoirs) has been assessed.
Flood risk has been assessed based on a review of existing information on flood risk and a qualitative assessment by flood risk experts. Where available, flood risk maps produced by NVE (The Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate), Kartverket (The Norwegian Mapping Authority) or local authorities have been used. ScalgoLive has also been used to identify local pathways for surface water flow and upstream catchment areas. Existing and future sea levels are provided by The Norwegian Mapping Authority, based on data from the Norwegian Directorate for Civil Protection (DSB). Future sea level rises are based on scenario RCP8.5 for the period 2081-2100. Sea levels are expected to rise by between 46 cm (Oslo) and 78 cm (Stavanger) in the cities where Entra has properties. Future changes in rainfall intensity and flood flows in 2100 are based on the relevant regional profile from the Norwegian Centre for Climate Services. In the Oslo area, short-term rainfall intensity is expected to increase by up to 50 per cent, whilst flood flows in larger rivers may increase by around 20 per cent.
In accordance with BREEAM, properties with an annual probability of flooding greater than 0,5 per cent (200 year return period) have been assessed as being high risk, whereas properties with an annual probability of flooding of less than 0,1 per cent (1000 year return period) have been assessed as low risk. Existing mitigation measures (for example non-return valves, waterproofing of basements etc.) have been taken into account when assessing flood risk. Changes in flood risk due to climate change and potential mitigation measures have been identified for each building.

There are several cost drives related to physical climate risk. The various scenarios may influence several drivers at the same time. We also distinguish between direct and indirect consequences. In the analysis we also include consequences for third parties such as clients and owners of equipment stored in or on the properties. Regardless of the cause, most of the risk is related to direct damage to the property and equipment. In the study, cleaning and refurbishing of affected areas are generalised, while expensive technical equipment is mapped and assessed for each property. Examples of technical equipment that is included in the analysis is:
In addition, third party entities as server-rooms, archives, storerooms, shops and parking areas are included as cost items. Indirect downtime for repair and re-construction is also included. The cost level has been assessed by experts and compared to similar historical events. For each risk element, an affected area is calculated based on the building footprint, localisation and floors below ground level. This is the basis used to compute the consequence for each property.
The risk can then be computed based on the assessed probability of occurrence for each property as assessed by the climate experts. The expected effects of climate change have been quantified in terms of net present value to assess if and what mitigating measures should be performed at each property. Uncertainty analysis is included within the assessment in order to gain insight into the volatility and effects caused by lack of data and/or poor data quality.
Overall, the portfolio is considered to have high resilience to flooding.
In addition to physical climate risk, Entra has started to assess the climate-related transition risks and opportunities for the portfolio in accordance with BREEAM-In-Use issue Rsl 07.
The purpose of the assessment was to evaluate financial risks and opportunities for Entra's operations related to the transition to an economy with lower CO2 emissions. As recommended in the TCFD framework, the considered transition risks are related to politics, technology, market and reputation.
To identify relevant risks and opportunities, a brainstorming was initially carried out and information was obtained from several platforms identifying topics considered relevant in terms of significance for a real estate company's existing building.
Consequently, a large amount of the potential transition risks and its potential impacts were identified. Climate-related transition risks are often complex, uncertain, and dependent upon other risks. A goal for the process has therefore been to identify the key drivers that influence the risk and the mechanisms that connect them. To ensure that correlation between the possible future scenarios is taken into account, a holistic analysis was applied and carried out with a monte-carlo approach. Important drivers identified has been:
At present, this analysis has been performed at a portfolio level. Based on the scenarios in the TCFD framework, distributions for each of the drivers has been estimated. This is not an exact science but is thought to be a good representation of the risk probability space for the upcoming years and will yield a detailed information on which drivers and possible scenarios that bring the most volatility.
This key insight is now included in Entra's risk management process, and Entra will continue to develop further processes to gather data, monitor and address these new perspectives.
Entra is a sustainable and socially responsible company and has included several procedures and initiatives in its daily operations. Entra's focus areas involve own employees and working environment, human rights, health and safety, urban development, and community engagement. Entra sets requirements for its own operations as well as for suppliers and partners. When evaluating new initiatives, Entra seek partners and suppliers with common values and targets.
Entra strives to develop a value-based culture characterized by the company's core values; Innovative, Responsible, Hands-on and One team. The core values and the company's principles for leadership are closely connected to behavior and how to follow up and develop own employees. Emphasis is put on employee motivation, which is considered to form the basis for an individual's desire and willingness to perform and thus to the development of the company. Employees are offered opportunities for personal and professional development through close dialogue with, and follow-up by, their immediate superior. It is fundamental that employees consider Entra to be a good and attractive place to work.
Entra aims to be a health-promoting workplace and carries out several measures to contribute to the health and wellbeing of its employees. All employees are offered annual health checks and a broad range of health services through Entra's occupational health service and health insurance. Entra also has an internal sports club where employees on a voluntary basis engage in social activities and several sports such as hiking, golf, running, squash, skiing and yoga. During 2021, the internal sports club has also facilitated interactive training sessions that employees can attend from home. Sick leave in Entra in 2021 was 2.6 per cent. This is low compared to a country average of 6.6 per cent as of Q3 2021. The objective is a continued low level of sick leave.
Entra complies with established standards and employment legislation. Entra is a member of the Confederation of Norwegian Enterprise, and tariff agreements have been established with employee organizations. Entra is covered by collective bargaining and the agreements are made applicable to all employees. Negotiations and follow-up in the event of operational changes or restructurings follow Norwegian law.
Entra's employees have elected safety officers. Their main function is to take care of employee's interests in matters that relate to the working environment. The safety officers are elected for a two-year period among employees with experience and knowledge of the working conditions in the company. The safety officers have regular meetings with the HSE department. One of the safety officers is appointed as the chief safety officer, coordinating the work among the other safety officers.
Entra also has a working environment committee, according to Norwegian legislation. Entra's working environment committee is a decision-making and advisory body. The committee's most important function is to work for a safe working environment. The committee covers issues on its own initiative and at the request of the safety officers. All employees can contact the committee. The working environment committee consists of members from the company management and of representatives from the employees. Entra's current working environment committee consist of the CEO, EVP of HR and Communication, the chief safety officer and a person elected from the employees.
Employees in Entra are free to organize themselves and are organized in several different labour associations. Entra has established an accord with the Norwegian Engineers and Managers Association (FLT).
Employees are represented on Entra's Board with two employee-elected directors, and they are usually elected by employees organized in the labor associations.
Information on worker participation and consultation is given on www.entra.no. All new employees also receive information on this topic through health and safety introduction and training.
Each year, Entra carries out an employee job engagement survey. In recent years including 2021, Entra has used a standardized survey from Ennova. The survey gives a score both for the level of motivation and satisfaction of employees and the factors that drives their behaviors and attitudes. Entra's score is compared against a representative national benchmark (GELx) and a benchmark "top in class" of the 25 per cent best in Ennova's client database. In 2021, Entra had an employee motivation and engagement score of 79. Even with a decrease of 3 points from 2020, the score is significantly above the national benchmark GELx score of 73 and above the "top in class" score of 78. The past year has been characterized by new ways of working, due to Covid-19 and social distancing. Many employees have been working from home most of the year and just rarely attended physical meetings. These changes may have affected the score in 2021. Through 2021 the strategic
interest for the company, in addition to changes made in the organizational structure, also affected the score.
The Board of Directors consists of four women and three men, whereof the Chair is a woman. The senior management team in Entra consist of two women and five men, whereof the CEO is a woman. Of all other managers in Entra, 49 per cent are women and 51 per cent are men.
At the end of 2021, Entra had 112 men and 65 women employed, of which two men and one woman were employed in Hinna Park AS. Entra had five temporary employees as of end 2021 whereof 20 per cent are women. Of the six employees working part-time 83 per cent are men and 17 per cent are women. All have voluntarily decided to work part-time as part of Entra's policy for seniors and early retirement or are employed part time because of studies.
Different expertise and experience contribute positively to Entra's development and to a broader and better basis for decision-making. Equal opportunities and diversity are an integral part of Entra's standards. Entra believes in the benefits of diversity, and this goal is incorporated into Entra's recruitment procedures and is reflected in the composition of senior management. Entra strives for diversity on a broad basis, including gender, age, background, education, and nationality.
Average parental leave in 2021 was fourteen and eighteen weeks for men and women, respectively.
Employee level 1 = top management
Employee level 2 = managerial positions
Employee level 3 = other employees
Entra has professional recruitment processes that ensure transparency and equal opportunities. Most recruitments are handled using internal resources and is managed by the HR department. A recruitment process in Entra is a structured process which includes an analysis of the job description with the purpose of choosing the preferred tone of voice in the announcements to attract the right candidates, a relevant and position-adapted case for the candidate to solve, and a final interview with both the direct manager and their superior manager.
During a recruitment process, Entra aims to be open-minded, and all announcements invite everyone with the right competence to apply for a position. When recruiting for senior or key positions in Entra, both sexes should be represented in the final interview round. This applies for both internal and external recruitments and, if needed, targeted recruitment processes are used to fulfil this goal. Furthermore, Entra strive to attract younger employees within property management to secure continuity and transfer of experience. During 2021, Entra recruited sixteen new employees, of which four women and twelve men.
Entra has HR processes where performance review, talent and succession planning, and development plans are closely linked together. This includes a dedicated development plan in accordance with each employee's ambitions and potential.
Employees are evaluated based on achievements, ambitions, and potential based on specific criteria, including achievement of specific goals and compliance with Entra's values. This evaluation is part of a process where Entra builds its talent pool and secures succession planning.
Entra has also developed a training and competency policy relevant for most positions. Some courses and training are offered to all or most of the employees, whilst others are more specifically related to roles within property management.
Entra's value chain is broad and imposes significant requirements regarding relevant experience and expertise. Entra therefore acknowledges individual employee's needs for ongoing professional training suited to his/her area of work and has developed the Entra School to provide education and training programs for all levels of the organization. The Entra School includes an introduction course for new employees to enable employees to view their role in the company in a wider context and an internal management and key talent development program that runs for 1.5 years and focuses on the responsibilities and challenges of a management role. Ethics training occupies a central position in the introduction course and through annual dilemma training programs.
Entra seeks to facilitate for a good work-life balance based on the life phases and family situation of our employees. We act in compliance with the laws and collective agreements that regulate the various leave schemes and have implemented solutions that are easy to use if applying for a leave or time-off. Employee benefits, such as flexible working hours and full pay during illness and parental leave regardless of the National Insurance scheme limits, are important measures in the efforts to ensure equal opportunities.
Regular working hours are 37.5 per week, with the core time from 09:00 to 15:00. Employees in senior positions or in special independent positions have exemptions from the rules of the Working Environment Act § 10.2. Entra seeks to minimize the amount of overtime, but extra work is expected to be done during hectic periods. We experience that there is a mutual understanding of this in the company and that flexible working hours or a day-off can be used during less intense periods.
As far as practically possible, Entra seeks to facilitate for the different needs of all employees. The premises are universally designed with sufficient space and accessibility for potential users of wheelchair. Our workplaces are designed in accordance with the Workplace Regulations 4-2: § 2-4. This statutory provision ensures that the workplace design takes disability into account.
Entra has developed a policy for compensation and benefits that ensures that employees with a similar position and at the same level are assessed according to specific and similar criteria to ensure equality. There is equality in the remuneration of men and women, and all employees are included in a collective bonus scheme. All employees are included in the same insurance schemes, and there is an equal pension scheme based on the salary level. Entra has no employees involuntarily working part-time.
Annual salary and tariff settlement in Entra follow a standardized process based on central negotiations with the union representatives and involves individual evaluation of the employee from their immediate superior based on standardized criteria. This process ensures consistent and performance-based salary adjustments. Evaluation and salary adjustments are reviewed by HR and the CEO. Entra monitors salary levels through external benchmarks in addition to internal benchmarks of positions of similar responsibility.
Different expertise and experience contributes positively to Entra's development and to a broader and better basis for decision-making. Equal opportunities and diversity are an integral part of Entra's standards. Entra believes in the benefits of diversity, and this goal is incorporated into Entra's recruitment procedures and is reflected in the composition of senior management. Entra strives for diversity on a broad basis, including gender, age, background, education, and nationality.
Entra seeks to have an organization that reflects the diversity of a modern society and has a particular focus on generations, gender and cultural backgrounds. Diversity is an important part of Entra's social responsibility work. In general, social responsibility is an important reputation factor when it comes to attracting a new generation of competent employees. Entra has worked actively with diversity for many years and has had a particular focus on:

The work with diversity and gender equality in Entra is structured through:
Entra's work for diversity is also given weight through procurement of products and services. Requirements for diversity are set for purchasing of external legal services and for providers of facility management services. The company has structured and professional HR procedures that ensures follow-up of employees through the various phases of employment as well as safeguarding against discrimination.
Entra is in the process of further developing its recruitment strategy to focus on age and gender balance and fulfill a diversity analysis for the specific departments that are recruiting.
To recruit young people in the future, Entra participate in the apprenticeship scheme of the Norwegian public education system as a mean to develop own talents. The public apprenticeship is a two-year program, and the employer must be approved by the county municipality. Entra became an approved employer in 2021 and employed its first apprentice. Some departments in Entra already work with educational institutions or directly with students as examiners, supervisors or conducting lectures. An internship is a temporary employment for students, where the candidate gets relevant work experience, and will be a benefit for both parties. Entra will further assess the opportunity with relevant universities or business schools, after successfully trying this form of internship in the HR-department during the fall of 2021.
The main risk of discrimination in Entra is unconscious discrimination. This is a risk that never can be eliminated, but which will be assessed and acted upon if it occurs. When starting up new initiatives, Entra will also initiate training of managers on how to succeed with inclusion. Entra currently has no reports from employees, safety representative or union representatives that discrimination has been experienced as part of our work processes.
Entra is on a continuous basis working to ensure equal treatment of our employees and to further enhance diversity through our recruitment strategy. For 2022, Entra has planned for the following measures to follow up on equality and diversity:
Entra's efforts to increase the proportion of female employees and young employees have given results. Entra has an organization characterized by equality, with an increasing proportion of women in the property management department. Diversity is an important part of Entra's social responsibility work, and several measures have been implemented to contribute to increased equality and diversity.
Achievements in 2021:
Entra seeks to maintain high employee engagement and targets a continued high score in the employee job engagement survey.
Entra actively seeks to increase the share of women within property management year on year. The challenge has historically been that there has been lower interest from women for jobs with required expertise within technical building operations and management. During the last years, we have adjusted the tone of voice in announcements, definition of the roles and targeted search processes to attract female candidates whilst maintaining the quality of applicants.
It will be difficult to achieve a 50 per cent share of women as property management contains almost one third of our employees and as the pool of applicants for new positions still has a majority of men. Our ambition is to have a relatively equal share of women and men in the rest of the company and among our talents and strategic successors to leading roles. In 2021, 39 per cent of the company's talents and strategic successors were women, and we had 49 per cent women in senior positions (Level 2).
To achieve the targets, the administration has defined measures on how to hire and develop employees. Such measures include, amongst others, a requirement policy to include both sexes in the final interview round for key positions, talent development and leadership development as well as coaching that seeks to encourage and promote female talent.
Entra also has an overall target to increase the level of employees with various cultural backgrounds.
Entra is committed to develop an organizational culture which respects and supports internationally recognized human rights. Entra supports all internationally recognized human rights standards such as the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, as well as relevant international conventions and standards such as those of the International Labor Organization.
Our commitment to the realization of human rights is set out in the Group's Human Rights Policy and its Social strategy. Key human rights issues and due diligence procedures are embedded in internal risk assessment processes and guidelines, as well as being addressed explicitly in documents such as the Socially Responsible Purchasing Guidelines. Entra reports on its performance in the annual ESG report based on the criteria appropriate to Entra in the Global Reporting Initiative. During 2022, Entra will also report on its work with transparency and work on fundamental human rights and decent working conditions in accordance with the new Transparency Act that will enter into force on 1 July 2022.
Entra does not accept discrimination or bullying in the workplace. Everyone is to be treated with respect, irrespective of gender, religion, age, ethnicity, nationality, any disability or sexual orientation. To secure compliance, Entra has a Human Rights policy, and human rights are included in guidelines and management tools, including those dealing with fundamental values, ethical guidelines, socially responsible procurement and through the focus on HSE and the working environment. Entra provides its employees with opportunities for professional and personal development and facilitates training to ensure that employees have the right competence and can use their expertise and assume responsibility. Entra demonstrates respect for its employees' private life and consider requirements for personal data protection (GDPR) through secure IT and HR systems.
HSE work is central to Entra in all parts of the value chain. It shall be safe to visit and work in Entra's properties and construction sites. HSE is well established as a natural part of day-to-day operations, including being part of the bonus scheme for all employees. It is a focus area at all levels of the organisation and thus recognised widely in the organisation as a personal responsibility of all employees.
Entra's HSE strategy involves systematic work with:
The internal HSE policy in Entra has the following targets:
Entra performs systematic HSE-training of its employees where different positions receive different training. All new employees are given an introduction to the HSE-system after joining the company.
Special training on operation of buildings is given to property managers. This involves training in fire protection, conflict management, FSE-course (electricity) and work in heights. Entra's project managers receive training in Entra's routines for ensuring HSE in the building projects as part of their introduction to Entra.
Members of the senior management are involved in practical HSE work and are expected to take the lead through behaviour and leadership. As part of this, a review of the latest HSE report is regularly on the agenda at management meetings and Board meetings. HSE status is also an important item on the agenda at all employee meetings. During 2020, particular focus was on the safeguarding of Entra's parking facilities against fire. In 2021, extra attention has been paid to follow up HSE focus in the ongoing development projects reflecting the very high number of projects, also with some new suppliers.
Entra works actively to increase awareness with regards to the registration of all types of incidents (including accidents and near misses). The reporting of incidents is important to prevent potential accidents and to increase the awareness internally among Entra's employees, suppliers and customers.

Entra has an occupational health and safety management system covering all parts of its business in accordance with Norwegian legislation. The regulations in the Working Environment Act is important, hereunder:
The HSE system has also been developed and implemented based on risk management and risk analysis on different levels of the organization. The system primarily covers Entra's workplaces and Entra's employees. However, Entra has
HSE-requirements on its suppliers and their subcontractors. In general, Entra requires that its social responsibility requirements, which involves HSE-requirements, are made valid throughout the chain of vendors.
Entra has contracted an occupational health service (OAS) for own employees. Entra's OAS is an officially approved organization for delivering OAS-services.
Among other things, the OAS performs:
HSE targets are also aggregated into group KPI's with a focus on avoiding serious accidents. The HSE targets for 2021 were:
Incidents are reported to the CEO and to the Board. Serious incidents are investigated to see what lessons can be learned and are an important element in further strengthening the HSE work.
There was one injury involving sick leave absence in and around our buildings in 2021, and there was one injury involving sick leave absence in our construction projects that involved more than 16 days sick leave.
Entra performs regular HSE audits of both development projects and management properties. In 2021, Entra performed nine HSE audits of which three development projects and six management properties.
Entra's strategy is to invest in clusters on the public communication hubs in the the four largest cities of Norway, Oslo and the surrounding area, Bergen, Trondheim and Stavanger. Entra aims to contribute to urban clusters that are attractive, inclusive, and accessible for residents, office users and all other relevant parties. A part of Entra's environment strategy is to be located close to major public transportation hubs, thus contributing to less use of private cars to the benefit of public transport and environment-friendly alternatives such as bicycles.
For Entra, urban development includes creating a good atmosphere and secure surroundings in and around the buildings for the benefit of tenants, visitors and others who pass through the area. Entra ensures that the space around its buildings and building sites is neat, clean, and attractive. Entra works to get a mix of activities on the ground floors within its property clusters to create life and variation among visitors and users of its buildings. Where applicable, Entra considers how to activate the ground floors of our buildings to contribute to city life at street level.
Entra emphasises the importance of a good dialogue with partners, competitors, and other stakeholders in its work on urban development. Entra involves neighbours, local politicians and others who live or work in the group's urban development districts in connection with new buildings and refurbishments. Involvement may constitute meetings and correspondence with neighbours, open meetings, information to the local press and a one-on-one dialogue with selected target groups.
Examples of areas and buildings where Entra has contributed to positive urban development are in Tullinkvartalet, Sundtkvartalet and at Tøyen in Oslo, at Papirbredden in Drammen, Brattørkaia in Trondheim, Media Citiy in Bergen and at Hinna Park in Stavanger. In the years to come, Entra will also be involved in the urban development of Bryn and the area around the central station in Oslo and Sandvika on the west fringe of Oslo.
Community engagement has been an important part of Entra's ESG work for many years, and in total Entra has contributed with community engagement in and around 53 properties or around 63 per cent of its portfolio in 2021. The major initiatives are described below.
Entra has been a sponsor of the Church City Mission ("Kirkens bymisjon") in Norway since 2014. Entra's financial support to, and dialogue with, the Church City Mission strengthens the constructive measures that the Church City Mission is carrying out in connection with social challenges in the cities covered by the agreement. In Oslo, Entra is, among other things, involved in the "Neighbour cooperation" project. This initiative involves several companies located in the Oslo city centre, working to create a safer and better local environment for all those passing through the area, and to contribute to increased employment to disadvantaged groups that are currently out of work. Entra is actively involved in annual campaigns to provide Christmas dinners for the homeless and other initiatives to support "someone who dreads Christmas". The Church City Mission has also provided valuable insight in the planning of activities towards selected groups in Entra's work with social sustainability initiatives as part of the Urban development In Oslo.
For 21 consecutive years, Entra has also been a key sponsor of Ridderrennet, a global winter sports competition for disabled. Due to Covid-19, the event was cancelled also in 2021. To ensure the financial situation of the organisation, and future competitions, Entra's monetary support remained at the same level even though the competitions was cancelled.
During the autumn of 2021, Entra entered into a pilot project with Sisters in Business (SiB). SiB is a social entrepreneur that creates work for immigrant women through local textile production and repair of clothes. SiB has succeeded in providing work to women who have found it difficult to enter the labour market. The pilot took place at two of Entra's buildings, giving our tenants the opportunity to have different clothes repaired for free or buy textile products produced by SiB. All tenants that used the services provided by SiB were also encouraged to contribute to the Church's City mission instead of paying for the service. During the pilot, our tenants potentially saved 10.5 tonnes of CO2 , on repairing clothes.
In 2022, Entra will continue to investigate how the cooperation with the Church City Mission and Sisters in Business can be further developed. Community engagement, hereunder initiatives within social sustainability and new initiatives that contribute to, and support employment of the new generation and disadvantaged groups is a particular focus area in Entra's social strategy.
Entra's Board ("the Board") actively adheres to good corporate governance standards and will ensure that Entra complies with the requirements of section 3-3 b of the Norwegian Accounting Act and the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance of October 2021, issued by the Norwegian Corporate Governance Board (NUES). This is done by ensuring that good governance is an integral part of the decision-making process in matters dealt with by the Board. Moreover, Entra's corporate governance standards are subject to at least annual assessment and discussion by the Board.

1 Since AGM April 2021
2 Until April 2021
The Chair of the Board chairs board meetings. The Board has a Vice Chair who chairs meetings when the Chair cannot or should not lead the work of the Board. All directors receive information about the Group's operational and financial progress in advance of the Board meetings. The Company's business plan, strategy and risk are regularly reviewed and evaluated by the Board to ensure that the company creates value for shareholders in a sustainable manner. The Board draws up and adopts an annual plan, including topics for the Board meetings. Ordinarily, the CEO proposes the agenda for each individual Board meeting. The final agenda is decided in consultation between the CEO and the Chair of the Board. In addition to the directors, Board meetings are attended by the CEO, CFO, EVP Legal and Procurement (secretary of the Board), and other EVPs as needed. Other participants are called in on an ad-hoc basis. The Board decides on matters of material importance to the Group. These include, but are not limited to, approval of the annual and quarterly accounts, strategies and strategic plans, the approval of significant investments, the approval of significant contracts and the approval of substantial business acquisitions and disposals. When carrying out this work, the Board consider financial, social and environmental matters.
The Board receives quarterly reports and presentations on the Group's operational and financial status. The reports describe progress and status in the Group's operative and administrative functions during the reporting period. The individual business units hold meetings with the CEO and CFO to review operating activities prior to and in connection with such reporting. The reports form the basis for internal control, communication on status and necessary measures. The quarterly reports are reviewed at Board meetings and form the basis for the external financial reporting.
Each year the Board and its committees assess their own work and way of working as a basis for reviewing the need for changes and other measures. This assessment includes an evaluation of the Board's expertise, collectively and for each member, and how well the Board works as a team.
Procedures have been established for financial reporting that involve carrying out a review of significant estimates, provisions, and accruals in conjunction with preparation of the quarterly and annual financial statements. Memorandums are prepared for significant accounting assessments, and non-routine transactions and are discussed in the Audit Committee. The valuation of the Group's properties is subject to a separate review and assessment at management level at the close of each quarter. This involves, among other things, holding meetings with the external appraisers conducting quarterly valuations of Entra's investment properties, with a particular emphasis on discussing perceptions of the market, risk premiums and documentation.
The Group reconciles and documents all balance sheet items in the group companies each quarter. Balance sheet items such as bank deposits, receivables, non-current assets, and liabilities are subject to thorough reviews. Loans, interest rates and interest rate hedging are subject to manual reconciliation each month. Ongoing projects are reviewed on a quarterly basis by the Project Development department. Rental income and other significant profit and loss items are subject to reconciliation each quarter. All reconciliations are reviewed and quality assured, as well as being analysed against the Group's forecasts and previous accounting periods.
Management reports significant operational and financial matters to the Board at the Group's Board meetings. Any significant matters and situations that arise outside Board meetings are discussed with the Chair of the Board and if necessary additional Board meetings are held.
In connection with the quarterly reporting, the Group's external auditor performs a review of the financial reporting, without issuing a review report.
The Group's quarterly and annual financial statements are reviewed by the Audit Committee before they are considered by the Board. As part of this process, management prepares a memorandum for the Audit Committee that describes significant accounting and financial assessments made during the quarter. The Audit Committee annually reviews the external auditor's audit report, as well as the findings and assessments of reviews and audits in conjunction with interim and annual reports, if applicable. Any key audit matters and significant issues in the auditor's report are presented to the whole Board.
The Group is managed by means of financial and operational targets linked to results and development, the return on equity and the weighted average cost of capital, the management of the debt portfolio and the return on the property portfolio. Risk assessments and profitability calculations are performed when acquiring properties and commencement of development projects in accordance with the Group's calculation model and required rate of return. The expected net present value and other key financial metrics of development projects are monitored throughout the course of each project. Long-term projections are made of expected financial developments as a component of the Group's risk management, using a model with detailed assumptions concerning the business's results, cash flow and balance sheet. The projections take into account cyclical developments in the economy, financial parameters and the property market. Scenarios and simulations are prepared for various developments. The simulations provide insightful information for the Board and management in their monitoring of developments in key balance sheet figures and cash flow.
Allocation of capital and the attitude towards risk are important parameters for guiding financial operations. Entra's finance policy contains a framework for the day-to-day management of the Group's financial risk. Principles have been defined for borrowing, management of liquidity risk and interest rate risk, and credit and counterparty risk. The Group's model for financial projections is updated on a continuous basis. Quarterly reports are made in accordance with the management guidelines for the financial operations, and to the Board through the quarterly business report.
Systematic monitoring of the general economic situation and its impact on the Group's financial risk is carried out. Based on expected developments in the economy and analysis of the Group's financial position, expected developments in both shortterm and long-term interest rates, the strategy for interest rate positioning, capital requirements and planned financing activities are discussed, as well as opportunities in the financing market..
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as approved by the EU. Entra's reporting fulfils statutory requirements and provides sufficient information to allow the company's stakeholders to form an accurate picture of the business. Entra reports in accordance with the rules in the Norwegian Securities Trading Act, as well as with the requirements specified by the Oslo Stock Exchange for companies with listed shares and bonds.
Entra provides its shareholders, the Oslo Stock Exchange and the financial market in general with timely, consistent and precise information. Such information is given in the form of
annual reports, quarterly reports, stock exchange notices and investor presentations and meetings. The Board has set an IR policy for Entra's reporting of financial and other information.
The Group considers it important to inform shareholders about the Group's development and economic and financial status. Management members (CEO, CFO and Investor Relations Manager) are available for discussions with shareholders in order to develop a balanced understanding of such shareholders' situation and focus, subject however to the provisions in legislation and regulations. Management ensures that shareholders' viewpoints are communicated to the whole Board.
The Board has approved regulations relating to the handling of inside information and trading in the company's shares. Primary insiders require internal clearance by the EVP Legal and Procurement before they buy or sell Entra shares.
The Board is responsible for ensuring that the Group's business, financial reporting and asset management are subject to adequate control and in accordance with applicable law. Entra's risk management is to support the Group's strategic and financial goals and help the Group avoid events that may have an adverse impact on the Group's operations, financial situation and reputation. This is further elaborated on pages 28-39.
The Board reviews at least twice per year the Group's risk and internal control activities. This, combined with the management's risk assessments and information on ongoing measures, enables the Board to judge whether the Group's risk management procedures are satisfactory. Risk management and internal controls are also considered by the Board's Audit Committee.
Entra works systematically to ensure continuous improvement of its internal controls linked to financial reporting and efficient operations. The Group has a proactive approach towards risk management, and potential risks are identified, assessed, quantified and managed. This is further elaborated in the section on Risk Management.
In consultation with the Audit Committee, management defines areas where the Group conducts review of internal controls. Both internal and external resources are used on these reviews. The results of the most important reviews related to internal control are presented to the Audit Committee and the Board on at least an annual basis. An internal control plan is presented to the Board.
The Group follows up issues relating to ethical guidelines and corporate social responsibility. The environmental perspective is an integral part of the assessments made in connection with the Group's potential investments. Special requirements have been defined for the Group's suppliers in the document "Socially Responsible Procurement", and a supplier verification process is conducted each year to ensure that the Group's suppliers are familiar with and adhere to the contractual conditions. This is further elaborated under the section "Ethics and anti-corruption".
The Group's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) is responsible for ensuring that the company has implemented a compliance program that will ensure that Entra is compliant with regulatory and legal requirements as well as internal policies and bylaws. The CCO performs an annual review of the Group's governing documents, including guidelines for ethical conduct, procurement, sustainability, anti-corruption, data protection and privacy, and supports the Board and the CEO in ensuring that these guidelines are implemented and enforced.
The CCO is responsible for the Group's internal and external whistleblowing channels. The external channel is directly linked to an external law firm and contact details are available at www.entra.no. The Board are provided at least semi-annual reports on compliance related matters.
The Board has established an Audit Committee and a Remuneration Committee. The Board has established mandates for the work of the committees, which are subject to annual revision. In accordance with their respective mandates, the Audit Committee and the Remuneration Committee shall have two or three qualified shareholder representatives from the current Board. The representatives are in general elected by the Board for two years at a time. In case of Board changes during the election period affecting members of the Audit Committee or Remuneration Committee, the period lasts until the representative is up for next election as a Board member. The committees assist the Board with preparing its work, but decisions are taken by the whole Board.
The Audit Committee acts as a preparatory body and supports the Board in assessing the integrity of Entra's financial reporting, internal controls and financial reporting processes, compliance with ethical guidelines, overall risk management and review of the performance and independence of the auditor. The CFO, the Head of Group Accounting, the Group Controller and the Head of Accounting (secretary of the Audit Committee) attend as representatives of the management. The Group's auditor also participates in all meetings. Other members of the management team attend as required. The chair of the Audit Committee reports on the significant assessments discussed in an Audit Committee meeting in the first following board meeting. The Board further has access to the minutes from each Audit Committee meeting. The Audit Committee has an established calendar of meetings, which in 2021 also included meetings to prepare and oversee the audit tender process, including a recommendation to the Board on the election of auditor. 9 (6) meetings were held in 2021.
The purpose of the Remuneration Committee is to act as a preparatory body for the Board's consideration of compensation issues. The Remuneration Committee's main task is to prepare the Board's consideration of matters relating to the salary and employment terms of the CEO and Senior Executives, as well as changes to them. In addition, the Remuneration Committee prepares the Board's consideration of principle issues relating
to salary levels, result-related pay schemes (including share schemes), the pension scheme/conditions, employment contracts and similar for the Senior Executives of Entra, as well as other matters relating to compensation that are of particular importance for the Group's competitive position, profile, ability to recruit, reputation etc. The CEO discusses the handling of individual conditions of Senior Executives with the Remuneration Committee. The Remuneration Committee furthermore discusses and presents proposals to the Board on guidelines for the remuneration of Senior Executives, prepares the Board's statement on the determination of salaries and other remuneration of Senior Executives in accordance with section 6-16a of the Norwegian Public Companies Act, and deals with other statutory reporting requirements.
The Remuneration Committee is composed of the Chair of the Board and one or two members of the Board and shall be independent of Senior Executives. The CEO and EVP HR and Communication attend as management representative. The CEO does not participate in discussions on issues that affect the CEO personally or matters that relate to the Senior Executives as a whole. The Group's EVP Legal and Procurement acts as the committee's secretary. Five meetings were held in 2021.
Remuneration of Board and Senior Executives
Pursuant to section 6-16a of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act, the Board presents guidelines on the determination of salaries and other remuneration of the Board and Senior Executives, defined as the CEO and other members of the management team, to the annual general meeting for approval. The following guidelines were approved by the 2021 annual general meeting.
Remuneration of Senior Executives is based on the following general principles:
The Board has established a separate Remuneration Committee. The Remuneration Committee functions as an advisory body for the Board and the CEO and is responsible primarily for:
The guidelines for management remuneration set forth above form the basis for all remuneration of Senior Executives. Furthermore, the following principles applied for 2021 and up until the annual shareholders' meeting in 2022.
The total remuneration of the CEO and other Senior Executives consists of a fixed package of salary and benefits supplemented by performance-based bonuses, share-based long-term incentive plans, employee share plans, pension, and insurance arrangements.
The fixed remuneration provided to Senior Executives includes a base salary (which is the main element of remuneration) and benefits in kind such as a car allowance, mileage agreements and telephone. The Senior Executives also have insurance coverage and other benefits in line with what is offered to all employees in accordance with collective agreements, legislation, and normal practice in Norwegian companies.
The Group operates performance-related pay schemes for Senior Executives. For the Group's Senior Executives, performance-related pay in 2021 includes a performance-related pay scheme ("STI") and a long-term performance-based share incentive program ("LTI").
The STI scheme is based on set targets at Group level in accordance with Board approved scorecards for 2021, as well as predefined personal targets. The scorecard for 2021 consist of the following KPIs and topics:
For the CEO and the Deputy CEO, the STI scheme has a maximum limit of 50 per cent of base salary and for other Senior Executives the maximum limit is 30 per cent of base salary.
The LTI scheme is based on two Key Performance Indicators (KPIs); Return on Equity before tax (RoE) and Total Shareholder Return (TSR), each weighting 50 per cent. The Board believes that these KPIs align the interest of Senior Executives and shareholders in a beneficial manner, even though both KPIs are also influenced by external factors beyond the control of management.
Actual performance is determined on a linear target scale between a hurdle at 100 per cent and a cap at 120 per cent for both KPIs.
| Maximum LTI result CEO and Deputy CEO (%) 1 |
Maximum LTI result Senior Executives (%) 1 |
|||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Target achived | 100 | 120 | ||
| RoE | 5.5 | 6.6 | 30 | 20 |
| TSR | 100% of index |
120 % of index |
30 | 20 |
| Result LTI | 0 | 100 | 60 | 40 |
1 Calculated as actual achieved RoE & TSR divided by target RoE & TSR ("Result"). This Result is compared to the applicable target scale and if between 100 and 120 per cent, the linear percentage achievement is multiplied with the maximum 2021 result. I.e., if the Result is 110 per cent on the target scale, 2021 remuneration is calculated by 50 per cent multiplied by maximum 2021 result of 40 per cent and 60 per cent for Senior Executives and CEO/ Deputy CEO, respectively.
The LTI remuneration will be distributed in shares which will have a vesting period of five years, whereof 1/3 matures after three years, another 1/3 after four years and the remaining 1/3 after five years. LTI remuneration is not included in the basis for pensionable salary and there is a cap on share price increase under the LTI scheme at 200 per cent share price increase.
The Company shall have the right to demand the repayment of any performance-related remuneration that has been paid on the basis of facts that were self-evidently incorrect, or as the result of misleading information supplied by the individual in question.
The CEO and other Senior Executives are eligible to participate fully in Entra's discounted employee share purchase plan on the same terms as all other employees.
The CEO and other Senior Executives has a contribution-based service pension on the same terms as other employees. The contributions are 5 per cent of salaries between 0 G 1 and 7.1 G and 15 per cent of salaries from 7.1 G to 12 G.
The CEO and certain other Senior Executives have a number of internal directorships in subsidiaries and partly-owned companies. They do not receive any remuneration for these directorships.
The CEO has the right to six months' severance pay based on the base salary in cases where the Board takes the initiative to terminate the employment. No other Senior Executives have pre-agreed severance pay agreements.
The general meeting determines each year the remuneration of the Board based on the Nomination Committee's proposal. The Board's remuneration shall reflect the Board's responsibilities, expertise, and use of time and the complexity of the business. Remuneration is not dependent on results and no share options are issued to Board members.
Board members or companies to which they are connected shall not normally undertake separate assignments for the Group in addition to the Board appointment. If they nevertheless do, the whole Board is to be informed, and the fees for such assignments are to be approved by the Board. If remuneration is paid above the normal Board fee, this is to be specified in the annual report.
Employee-elected members of the Board receive fees in line with shareholder-elected Board members.
The Board may decide to deviate entirely or partly from the Guidelines in individual cases provided that there are special circumstances that make such deviation necessary in order to satisfy the long-term interests of the Company or to ensure the financial viability of the Company.
Pursuant to Section 6-16b of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act, a report on salaries and other remuneration to Senior Executive personnel and the Board will be presented at the Annual General Meeting, first time at the Annual General Meeting in 2022. The report will be made available on the Company's website.
The Board has in 2021 received remuneration in accordance with the Nomination Committee's proposal, approval by the AGM. No remuneration was paid above the Board fee approved by the AGM.

At any given time, the company's financial strength and exposure is considered in the light of its objectives, strategy and risk profile.

The Board is not aware of any transactions in 2021 between the company and shareholders, directors, executive personnel or parties closely related to such individuals that could be described as material transactions.
The Board has an approved set of guidelines for takeover bids and will handle such situations in accordance with Norwegian law and the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance. In a bid situation, Entra's Board and Senior Executives have a responsibility to help ensure that shareholders are treated equally, and that the Group's business activities are not disrupted unnecessarily. The Board will not hinder or obstruct takeover bids for Entra's activities or shares. The Board will ensure that shareholders are given sufficient information and time to form an opinion on an offer. If a takeover offer is received, the Board will issue a statement making a recommendation as to whether shareholders should or should not accept the offer. The guidelines have been followed during the recent strategic interest in Entra.
The Board shall arrange for as many shareholders as possible to be able to exercise their rights to participate in Entra's general meeting, and for the general meeting to be an effective meeting place for shareholders and the Board, through, among other things, ensuring that:

See www.entra.no for more information on the members of the Group's Nomination Committee and the Nomination Committee's contact details.
Entra has zero tolerance for corruption in all parts of the group's business. Ethical behaviour is a necessary condition for a sustainable business. Entra conducts its business in an ethical and transparent manner, acts within the law and its ethical guidelines and behaves in line with its fundamental values of being responsible, innovative, hands-on, and one team.
Entra's ethical guidelines are built on principles of equal opportunities for all, concern for the environment and a society view that emphasizes ethics, transparency, honesty and sincerity. The long-term success of the Group is based on trust. To maintain this trust Entra must ensure that its behaviour is consistent with its corporate values. The Group's ethical guidelines describe the way Entra is to treat its stakeholders and the behaviour which is expected of its employees. The ethical guidelines provide guidance and support to the Group and its employees in decision making and problem-solving processes.
The ethical guidelines are incorporated in the management development programme and are evaluated by the Board on an annual basis. Entra creates ethical awareness through training programmes, including an e-learning programme, and all employees and the Board of Directors are required to sign the ethical guidelines annually.
Entra has established whistle-blowing routines. Internal and external questions about ethics, harassment, whistleblowing etc. can be directed to the Group's Compliance Officer, or anonymously to an independent, experienced law firm with a duty of confidentiality in order to lower the threshold for an employee compared with having to contact a member of staff in Entra. The Compliance Officer reports on any matters to the board twice a year. A direct point of contact on such matters to an external law firm is available on www.entra.no and on Entra's intranet. There have been no reported incidents in 2021.
Entra's fundamental procurement principle is to achieve the best possible total result through competition and supplier management. Procurement is also to take advantage of economies of scale.
Entra aims to be a responsible purchaser in all parts of the value chain and has established a set of processes and routines for procurement that include requirements on documentation, role/work division (dualism) and equal treatment of suppliers
through competition. The routines are set to counter conflicts of interest and corruption.
New employees participate in procurement training covering processes, guidelines and tools for implementing best practice and fair procurement processes. Anti-corruption measures is an item on these training courses.
In 2017, Entra implemented dilemma training in ethics for its employees. The dilemma training is part of the introduction course for new employees, and there is an annual target that all employees should complete such online training each year. 100 per cent of the employees as well as the Board of Directors completed online training course in 2021.
Entra continuously monitors the suppliers within its supplier base to ensure that the company only does business with serious counterparties.
Entra spends approximately 2 billion per year on external suppliers. The main suppliers are the largest construction companies in Norway and their sub-suppliers such as carpenters, electricians and plumbers. In property management, the largest suppliers are facility service suppliers such as canteen operations and cleaning services. Entra has signed framework agreements with its largest suppliers which mainly consist of large Norwegian companies.
The construction industry in which Entra operates faces challenges related to business crime and social dumping. Entra has established procedures to ensure that Entra only uses qualified suppliers.
Entra performs risk assessments for its entire value chain and facilitates action plans to reduce any identified risk. Entra has identified suppliers that perform work on Entra´s construction sites and cleaning vendors as high-risk suppliers within social responsibility and follow-up this sector accordingly.
There is considered to be limited risk associated with rights to e.g., exercise freedom of association and collective bargaining, child labor or forced and compulsory labor in Entra's direct supply chain. There may, however, be more risk further down in the supply chain with sub-suppliers, although none have been identified in 2021.
Entra has set "Socially Responsible Purchasing Guidelines" that must be followed by suppliers and their sub-contractors in its supplier qualification requirements. The document is an integral part of all purchasing contracts.
The document covers themes such as:
The guidelines are set to ensure that there are good working conditions in the suppliers' and in their sub-suppliers' businesses. The guidelines states that it is only allowed with two levels of sub suppliers for large suppliers and one for others.
Suppliers and sub-contractors are to be registered in the Registry of Business Enterprises and are obliged to provide a corporate identity code.
Entra is against all forms of discrimination. All employees and hired staff who are engaged in working on contracts must have salary and working conditions that fulfil the statutory requirements in accordance with the applicable collective agreements at the relevant time. Entra may require a supplier to produce documentation that shows the salary terms and working conditions for employees and hired staff at the supplier and their sub-suppliers.
Entra performs audits of its suppliers to assure that operations follow Norwegian legislation and those principles stated in Entra's Socially Responsible Procurement Guidelines. Risk factors in the supply chain as well as HSE risks are the main focus issues for the audits. An annual audit plan for Entra's operations and especially the property portfolio is prepared based on a risk assessment of the following:
There are no set criteria for the number of audits to be performed each year, although there is typically a correlation with the number of ongoing development projects in the portfolio. During 2021, five supplier audits were carried out. The audits were undertaken by a combination of internal personnel and external audit companies. The reports were thoroughly evaluated, and deviations and suggestions for improvements have been followed up.
In addition to supplier audits, Entra performs bi-annual reviews of "high-risk suppliers", with annual sales to Entra exceeding NOK 0.2 million. The review emphasizes supplier adherence to
Entra´s supplier qualification requirements and includes;
Since 2015, Entra has invited master agreement suppliers to annual meetings to develop a common approach to the challenges faced by the industry (including HSE). The main purpose is to have an established arena for dialogue and cooperation that, in addition to resolving commercial issues, will focus on contributing to meeting the sector's challenges relating to working conditions, corruption and business crime. In 2020, Entra reviewed and updated its Socially Responsible Procurement Guidelines. A self-assessment questionnaire was sent out to all perceived high-risk suppliers to get confirmation of receipt and compliance with thee new guidelines. The goal is closer involvement, increased awareness levels and better reporting.
The Audit Committee evaluates and makes a recommendation to the Board and the general meeting regarding the choice of external auditor. When evaluating the auditor, emphasis is placed on the firm's qualifications, capacity and the auditor's fee. The general meeting elects the Group's auditor. Since 2012, Entra's auditor has been Deloitte. Roger Furholm was appointed responsible partner of the audit team in 2021.
Each year the auditor presents a plan for the execution of the auditor's work to the Audit Committee that in turn informs the Board of its most important aspects.
The auditor attends all meetings of the Audit Committee, as well as the Board meeting in which the annual report and financial statements are considered and adopted. At the meetings, the auditor goes through any significant changes in the Group's accounting principles, the evaluation of material accounting estimates and any material matters where there has been disagreement between the auditor and the management. There is one annual meeting with the Audit Committee and the auditor, and one meeting with the whole Board and the auditor, which is not attended by representatives from the management.
When presenting the results of the interim audit to the Audit Committee, the auditor focuses on the Group's internal controls, identified weaknesses and proposals for improvements. The auditor summarises the findings and assessments of the annual audit for Group management and the Audit Committee. Material issues if applicable are summarised for the Board.
Each year the auditor's independence is assessed by the Audit Committee. The Board has drawn up guidelines on the engagement of the external auditor, governing what work the auditor can do for the Group in view of the requirement for independence. Any major assignments other than statutory audits are approved by the Audit Committee in advance. Management informs the Audit Committee of all additional services supplied by the external auditor at each Audit Committee meeting.
Entra is required to initiate a tender process for the appointment of the external auditor every 10 years. As a public-interest entity, Entra is not allowed to have the same external auditor for more than 20 consecutive years. In 2021, Entra conducted a tender for audit services starting in 2022, and will present the recommendation to the AGM on 22 April 2022.
The auditor attends the annual general meeting for consideration of the annual financial statements. The auditor's fee for the statutory audit and other services is approved by the general meeting.

To the Board of Directors of Entra ASA
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S ASSURANCE REPORT ON ENTRA'S ESG REPORT FOR 2021
We have been engaged by the Board of Directors of Entra ASA to provide limited assurance in respect of the environmental, social and governance information presented in the Entra – Annual Report 2021, the sections ESG in Entra, pages 42 – 83, GRI and TCFD tables, pages 173 – 178, and EPRA Sustainability Performance Measures, pages 179 - 185, in total referred to as "the Report". Our responsibility is to provide a limited level of assurance on the subject matters concluded on below.
Auditor's report on the ESG report
The Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Report and that it has been prepared in accordance with the reporting criteria described in the Report, including the GRI Standards and the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance. The Board of Directors are also responsible for establishing such internal controls that they determine are necessary to ensure that the information is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Our responsibility is to express a limited assurance conclusion on the information in the Report. We have conducted our work in accordance with ISAE 3000 (Revised) Assurance Engagements other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information, issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board.
Deloitte AS is subject to International Standard on Quality Control 1 and, accordingly, applies a comprehensive quality control system, including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants, which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behavior.
The procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and timing from, and are less in extent than for, a reasonable assurance engagement. Consequently, the level of assurance obtained is substantially lower than the assurance that would have been obtained had a reasonable assurance engagement been performed.
Considering the risk of material misstatement, our work included analytical procedures and inquiries with management and individuals responsible for the preparation of the Report and for sustainability management at corporate level, as well as a review on a sample basis of evidence supporting the information in the Report.
We believe that our work provides an appropriate basis for us to provide a conclusion with a limited level of assurance on the subject matters.
Deloitte AS and Deloitte Advokatfirma AS are the Norwegian affiliates of Deloitte NSE LLP, a member firm of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited ("DTTL"), its network of member firms, and their related entities.

Entra was in 2021 back on the growth trajectory after some years with flat income development as several, large properties were non-income generating as they underwent redevelopment. Rental income grew by 7 per cent in 2021, net income from property management grew by 6 per cent and net asset value grew by 15 per cent during 2021. The Board proposes to pay a semi-annual dividend of NOK 2.60 per share for the second half of 2021 and thus NOK 5.10 per share for the full year, up from NOK 4.90 per share in 2020.
Entra is one of Norway's leading commercial real estate companies and number one in the office segment, focusing on large, high-quality, flexible and environment-friendly office properties in clusters around central public transportations hubs in the largest cities in Norway. Entra has its head office in Oslo.
The Norwegian society and office market has been less affected by Covid-19 than most other countries, and Entra's operations, projects and financial results have only to a limited extent been impacted by the pandemic. Office rents have held up well through the pandemic, the activity in the letting market has picked up and we expect to see increasing activity during 2022. The investment market is strong and competitive, with the highest transaction volume ever in 2021 in the Norwegian transaction market for commercial real estate.
Entra had rental income of 2,508 million (2,353 million) in 2021. Net operating income was 2,274 million (2,142 million) and net income from property management was 1,534 million (1,451 million). Net positive value changes were 5,264 million (5,705 million) and profit before tax was 6,825 million (7,274 million).
Entra's tenant base is robust with a WAULT of 7.1 years and a solid backbone of public tenants, comprising 56 per cent of revenues. Entra signed new and renegotiated leases with an annual rent totalling 346 million. Net letting for the year was 8 million.
The most important lever for securing profitable growth for Entra is through project development, and Entra normally has 5-10 per cent of the portfolio in project development. Entra currently has a higher share of assets in project development. In 2021, Entra finalised the redevelopment projects Universitetsgata 2 and Universitetsgata 7-9 in Central Oslo, and the refurbishment of Hagegata 22-24 in Oslo and Grønland 32 in Drammen. Further, Entra started the newbuild projects
Nygårdsgaten 91-93 in Bergen and Holtermanns veg 1-13 phase 2 in Trondheim.
Entra was active in the transaction market in 2021, and acquired Møllendalsveien 1A and Lars Hilles gate 19 in Bergen, Fyrstikkalléen 1 and Universitetsgata 11 in Oslo, and Lagårdsveien 6 and Laberget 24-28 in Stavanger. The acquisition of Laberget 24-28 was done through Hinna Park Eiendom, a partly owned company controlled by Entra. These acquisitions increased Entra's management portfolio by 96,390 sqm. In addition, Entra increased its share in the joint venture Oslo S Utvikling from 33.3 per cent to 50 per cent. In December 2021, Entra agreed to acquire Oslo Areal, a portfolio of 17 properties in the Greater Oslo region. The transaction closed in January 2022, upon which the management portfolio increased by 222,500 sqm.
The property Tollbodallmenningen 2A in Bergen was divested in 2021, and the property Nytorget 1 in Stavanger was sold by Entra to Hinna Park Eiendom. Following year-end, Entra sold its 50 per cent share in Hinna Park Eiendom, with a management portfolio of 67,000 sqm.
After the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, one of the Board's top priorities has been to ensure that we are taking the necessary measures to protect the health and safety of our employees, our tenants and other users of our buildings. The Board has further supervised management and monitored the Group's business in accordance with good corporate governance. This includes a focus on organisational development, business strategy, hereunder new and ongoing development projects, active portfolio management (acquisitions and divestments), HSE, ICT and cyber risk, climate risk, ESG strategy and compliance. In addition, the Board has continuously monitored and evaluated the continued strategic interest in Entra.
Rental income was up by 7 per cent from 2,353 million in 2020 to 2,508 million in 2021. The increased rental income is explained in the table below.
| Rental income previous period | 2 353 |
|---|---|
| Finalised development projects | 58 |
| Vacated properties for redevelopment | -53 |
| Acquisitions | 91 |
| Divestments | -3 |
| CPI growth | 15 |
| Like-for-like growth above CPI | 35 |
| Other | 13 |
| Rental income | 2 508 |
The increase in rental income in 2021 is driven by acquisitions and an underlying like-for-like growth of 2.3 per cent (50 million), of which the underlying CPI adjustment was 0.7 per cent.
The acquisition of Lagårdsveien 6 and Kanalpiren in Stavanger, Møllendalsveien 1A and Lars Hilles gate 19 in Bergen and Hagegata 27, Fyrstikkalléen 1 and Universitetsgata 11 (Hotel Savoy) in Oslo contributed with rental income of 91 million, whereas the divestment of Tollbodallmenningen 2A in Bergen in February 2021 reduced rental income by 3 million.
Net contribution from development projects was 5 million. The completion of the redevelopment projects Universitetsgata 2, Universitetsgata 7-9, Kristian Augusts gate 13, Hagegata 22-24 and Grønland 32, and full year effect of Holtermanns veg 1-13 phase 1 finalised in 2020, contributed a total of 58 million on rental income. However, the vacating of Møllendalsveien 6-8 in Bergen, parts of Stenersgata 1 in Oslo and Kongens gate 87 and Brattørkaia 13 B in Trondheim, scheduled for redevelopment, reduced the rental income by 53 million.
Other effects stems from an administrative fee of 13 million during 2021.
Nearly all of Entra's lease contracts are 100 per cent linked to positive changes in CPI. The annual adjustment are mostly made on a November to November basis.
The occupancy rate was 97.8 per cent (97.9 per cent) as of 31 December 2021. The rental value of vacant space was approximately 60 million (48 million) on an annualised basis.
Operating costs amounted to 234 million (211 million) and are split as follows:
| All amounts in NOK million | 2021 | 2020 |
|---|---|---|
| Maintenance | 29 | 33 |
| Tax, leasehold and insurance | 64 | 57 |
| Letting and property administration | 89 | 70 |
| Direct property costs | 52 | 51 |
| Operating costs | 234 | 211 |

Rent (12m rolling) per sqm. and occupancy rate
The increase in letting and property administration costs is mainly driven by higher letting activity and management initiatives. The increase in tax, leasehold and insurance is mainly due to property tax on acquired properties in 2021 and higher turnover-based lease payments for Langkaia 1 in Oslo.
As a consequence of the effects explained above, net operating income came in at 2,274 million (2,142 million) in 2021.
Other revenues totalled 73 million (113 million) and other costs amounted to 43 million (79 million) in 2021. Other revenues and other costs mainly consists of services provided to tenants and income and costs related to inventory properties (properties in the Bryn portfolio which is expected to be zoned for residential development and subsequently sold to a third party at a predetermined price).
Administrative expenses amounted to 210 million (186 million) in 2021. The increase is mainly driven by advisory fees related to the strategic interest for Entra and triggered by Balder's mandatory offer to acquire all outstanding shares in the company.
Entra's share of profit from associates and JVs was 19 million (120 million) in 2021, a reduction mainly driven by limited completion and delivery of residential apartments and commercial assets in Bjørvika by OSU. Further, Rebel U2 opened its concept in Universitetsgata 2 in Oslo, which has seen lower than anticipated activity to Covid-19 restrictions.
Net realised financials amounted to -551 million (-541 million) and are composed as follows:
| Net realised financials | -551 | -541 |
|---|---|---|
| Interest and other finance expense | -558 | -551 |
| Interest and other finance income | 7 | 11 |
| All amounts in NOK million | 2021 | 2020 |

Net income from property management per share Annualised, rolling 4 quarters
Net income came in at 1,561 million (1,569 million). When including only the income from property management in the results from JVs, the net income from property management was 1,534 million (1,451 million) for 2021. Reference is made to the alternative performance measures section of this report for calculation of the net income from property management.
Net value changes amounted to 5,264 million (5,705 million) for 2021.
The valuation of the property portfolio resulted in a net positive value change of 5,057 million (5,980 million) for the financial year 2021, of which about 2,510 million is attributable to compressed market yields.
Lower interest rates have contributed to a significant yield compression in the Norwegian market, particularly in Oslo, Bergen and Trondheim where 86 percent of the asset value of Entra's properties are located. Following the uncertainties from Covid-19, the activity in the transaction market has been high during the year, yields were relatively stable, and the yield gap increased. A number of transactions of relevance for Entra's portfolio were completed at yield levels significantly lower than observed in 2020.
About 1,090 million of the value changes stems from development in the project portfolio, mainly explained by new lease contracts signed in 2021 and reduced risk as each project moves towards completion. In addition, 290 million is related to the net effect from strong letting activities in the portfolio and 840 million is due to increased market rents, especially in the Oslo market where we are expecting an increase in market rents for the next two-three years. The remaining is a result of other effects from property related changes.
Net changes in the value of financial instruments totalled 206 million (-275 million) in 2021. The positive value change is mainly explained by higher long-term interest rates.
Tax payable is 19 million (26 million) in 2021, mainly related to the partly owned entity Papirbredden Eiendom in Drammen.

The change in deferred tax was -1,433 million (-1,552 million)
Profit before tax was 6,825 million (7,274 million) whereas profit after tax was 5,373 million (5,696 million). Total comprehensive income for the period was 5,351 million (5,677 million).
The Group's assets amounted to 70,292 million (59,141 million) as at 31.12.21. Of this, investment properties amounted to 67,568 million (56,834 million). The property Borkenveien 1-3 in Sandvika is classified as held for sale on 31 December 2021 as the tenant has exercised the option to acquire the property during 2022.
Inventory properties of 469 million (461 million) relates to the properties expected to be zoned for residential development at Bryn in Oslo, and subsequently sold to a third party at a predetermined price.
Interest bearing debt were 26,579 million (21,146 million) as of 31.12.21, of which 19,582 million were the carrying amount of bonds outstanding, 5,597 million were bank financing and 1,400 million were commercial papers.
Book equity totalled 33,571 million (29,205 million). As at 31.12.21, EPRA NRV per share was 218 (189) and EPRA NTA 216 (187).
Net cash flows from operating activities came to 1,488 million (1,521 million) in 2021. The decrease mainly relates to working capital movements.
The net cash flows from investment activities was -5,865 million (-1,868 million) for 2021. Proceeds from property transactions of 42 million (15 million) is mainly related to the divestment of the property Tollbodallmenningen 2A in Bergen. Purchase of investment properties of -3,540 million (-194 million) is related to the acquisition of Lagårdsveien 6 and Laberget 24-28 (Kanalpiren) in Stavanger, Møllendalsveien 1A and Lars Hilles gate 19 in Bergen, and Fyrstikkalléen 1 and Universitetsgata 11 (Hotel Savoy) in Oslo.
The cash effect from investment in and upgrades of investment properties amounted -2,078 million (-1,683 million) in 2021.
Net payment on financial assets of 70 million (72 million) is mainly related to the repayment of a seller credit in relation to a divestment of a property in 2019. Investments in associates and JVs of -476 million (-13 million) is related to Entra's increase in the share in Oslo S Utvikling from 33.3 per cent to 50 per cent.
Net cash flows from financing activities was 4,469 million (246 million) in 2021.
Net proceeds of interest bearing debt was 5,460 million (1,245 million) in 2021. During 2021, Entra had a net nominal increase in bond financing of 5,829 million, with a corresponding cash effect of 5,532 million, and an increase of commercial paper financing of 200 million, partly offset by a net decrease in bank financing of 272 million and million.
Dividends paid amounted to 911 million (874 million) in 2021. For 2021, Entra paid dividends of NOK 2.50 per share to the shareholders for the first six months and has proposed NOK 2.60 per share for the second half year. For the financial year 2021, Entra will thus have paid out NOK 5.10 per share compared to NOK 4.90 per share in 2020.
Dividends paid to non-controlling interests was 70 million (114 million) in 2021. The dividends was paid to the non-controlling interests in Entra OPF Utvikling and Papirbredden Eiendom.
The net change in cash and cash equivalents was 92 million (-100 million) for 2021.
The financial statements have been prepared based on the going concern assumption, and the Board confirms that this assumption is valid. The company is in a healthy financial position and has good liquidity.
The Group has a well staggered debt maturity profile and a diversified financial structure comprising of both bank credit facilities and capital markets instruments.
We have strong relationships and continuous dialogues with five of the top six Nordic banks, and we assess that the bank market is open and supportive to our funding needs. Entra has a strong presence in the Norwegian debt capital market as it is the largest issuer in Norwegian kroner. Entra has a Moody's investment grade rating Baa1 with Stable Outlook. The Moody's Baa1 rating contributes to increased credit availability and enables Entra to maintain a well-staggered debt maturity profile.
The Group has adopted a conservative financial strategy that secures financial flexibility throughout an economic cycle. This is reflected in the financial policy through a set of financial risk parameters limiting risks related to financial leverage, interest rates, financing and liquidity. Consequently, Entra's financial
profile is characterised by a moderate loan-to-value ratio, strong interest coverage ratio, diversified debt maturity and an ample liquidity position. As a general principle, Entra's financing is based on a negative pledge of the Group's assets that enables a broad and flexible financing mix.
"Green financing" has been well established within real estate finance. The real estate sector is responsible for about 40 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions. This fact has spurred increasing awareness among investors and financial institutions that a conditional capital supply represents a key factor in accelerating the green shift within the sector. Entra, with its environment friendly development projects and BREEAM certified investment properties, is well positioned for capitalizing on this favourable supply of green financing and currently 69 per cent of Entra's financing is "green".
The debt capital markets funding accounted for 79 per cent (72 per cent) of the total interest bearing debt, with bank funding representing the remaining part of the financing mix. The Group's liquid assets amounted to 309 million (217 million) as of 31 December 2021. In addition, the Group had committed, unutilised credit facilities totalling 8,830 million (7,290 million). The Group's average interest rate as of 31 December 2021 was 2.25 per cent (2.38 per cent), and 47 per cent (50 per cent) of the Group's total interest bearing debt was subject to fixed interest rates. Entra's loan-to-value ratio decreased to 38.4 1 per cent (36.4 per cent) at year-end 2021 and the interest coverage ratio increased to 3.5 (3.4).
Entra's Board has approved guidelines for good corporate governance in accordance with the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance issued by the Norwegian Corporate Governance Board (NUES).
The corporate governance section of this annual report on pages 68-80 provides a more detailed description of the corporate governance principles and reporting pursuant to Section 3-3b of the Norwegian Accounting Act.
Entra has taken out directors and officers liability insurance for the Group and subsidiaries. The insurance covers the Board's and the CEO's legal personal liability for financial damage caused by the performance of their duties.
It should be safe to work, visit and live in and around Entra's properties and development projects. Entra's goal of being a zero-harm workplace for people, the environment and society underpins all the Group's health, safety and environmental work. HSE is an important focus area for the Board. The Board is satisfied with the dedicated HSE work in the organisation and the initiatives taken to prevent serious incidents.
In 2021, Entra had one incident in the management portfolio which led to an injury involving sick leave absence and one injury involving sick leave absence of more than 16 days in its construction projects. Absence due to illness in Entra was 2.6 per cent in 2021, compared to 3.1 per cent in 2020. This is low compared to a country average of 6.6 1 . Cooperation with the employee organisations is good and constructive and yields a positive contribution to the operation of the Group.
To operate its business in a sustainable manner is of key strategic importance to Entra. Entra's ESG report can be found on pages 42-80. The outputs are compiled and aligned using three reporting frameworks: The EPRA Best Practices Recommendations on Sustainability Reporting, the Global Reporting Initiative Standards (GRI) Core option and the Task Force of Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). Entra has also reviewed the UN Sustainable Development Goals for its business.
Entra believes that 100 per cent of its income and investments will be eligible for EU Taxonomy alignment. While actual requirements for alignment are still to be finalised, Entra is prepared to report in accordance with the EU Taxonomy requirements as soon as it is finalised.
At 31 December 2021, 37 per cent (38 per cent) of the Group's 177 employees were women and 63 per cent (62 per cent) were men. 49 per cent of employees in managerial positions were women. Two out of seven of the Senior Executives were women, and four of seven of the Board members were women.
The Group believes in the benefits of diversity, and this goal is incorporated into Entra's recruitment procedures and is reflected in the composition of management. Entra strives for diversity on a broad basis, including gender, age, ethnicity, personal beliefs, background, education, sexual orientation and nationality. Key metrics regarding diversity and information on Entra's efforts to increase diversity are included the ESG report.
The Board assesses risk on an ongoing basis, primarily through a semi-annual comprehensive review of the groups risk maps, which includes assessments of all risk factors in collaboration with all levels of the organization. Each risk factor is described and presented with the possible negative outcome given an increased probability of a situation to occur. The risk assessment also includes a broad description on how we monitor and work to minimize the risks, as well as a statement on how we assess the changes in the last period on each risk factor.
Entra's main risk factors, both financial and non-financial, are described on pages 28-39.
Entra's share capital is NOK 182,132,055 divided into 182,132,055 shares, with each share having a nominal value of NOK 1.00. All the shares have been issued in accordance with the Norwegian Public Limited Companies Act and are fully paid. Entra has one class of shares. All shares provide equal rights, including the right to any dividends. Each of the shares carries one vote. There are no share options or other rights to subscribe for or acquire shares issued by Entra.
Outstanding shares at 31 December 2021 totalled 182,129,968 (182,129,247) as Entra held 2,087 (2,808) treasury shares.
As of 31 December 2021, Entra had 4,524 shareholders. Norwegian investors held 10 per cent of the share capital. The 10 largest shareholders as of 31 December 2021 were as follows:
| Shareholder | Shareholding % |
|---|---|
| Fastighets AB Balder | 36.6 |
| Castellum AB | 33.3 |
| J.P. Morgan Securities | 2.3 |
| State Street Bank and Trust Comp | 2.0 |
| The Bank of New York Mellon | 1.4 |
| Danske Invest Norske Aksjer | 1.0 |
| Verdipapirfondet Alfred Berg Gambak | 0.8 |
| State Street Bank and Trust Comp | 0.8 |
| J.P. Morgan Bank Luxembourg | 0.7 |
| JPMorgan Chase Bank | 0.7 |
| Total 10 largest shareholders | 80.0 |
In 2021, the parent company Entra ASA made a profit after tax of 160 million (428 million), as set out in the financial statements prepared in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and Norwegian generally accepted accounting principles.
In accordance with the defined dividend policy of paying out approximately 60 per cent of Cash Earnings, defined as net income from property management less tax payable, the Board proposes that Entra ASA distributes a dividend of 474 million (455 million) corresponding to 2.60 per share (2.50 per share) for the last six months of 2021. The proposed dividend exceeds profit after tax for the year, and the variance is deducted from retained earnings.
The Board confirms that the company has sufficient equity and liquidity following payment of the proposed dividend.
When entering what might be the final stage of the Covid-19 pandemic, it is fair to conclude that the Norwegian society and office market has been less affected than most other countries. Further, Entra has proved to be very resilient, and our operations, projects and financial results have been only marginally impacted.
A shift to hybrid work seems abundantly clear for office and knowledge workers. However, both market data and Entra's experience throughout the last two years suggest only marginal cuts in demand for office space, primarily driven by three factors. Firstly, high density at the office is uncomfortable, and employees in general want more room around their desks than previously. Secondly, the office of the future must be more inviting to attract talent, and many tenants plan to implement more spacious, lounge-style, open seating plans and meeting rooms that accommodate a mix of in-person and remote participants. Thirdly, many employees want to work from home on Mondays and Fridays. As such, the need to facilitate for
simultaneity in the office means that the shift towards hybrid office solutions only offer meagre opportunities to economize on office space. In short, employers are reshaping offices to become more inviting social spaces that encourage face-to-face collaboration, creativity, and serendipitous interactions, which will benefit landlords like Entra.
Office rents in Norway have held up well throughout the pandemic, and the activity in the letting market has picked up. Entra is thus well positioned in a solid Norwegian economy supported by strong public funding and a property market with low office vacancy rates and expectations for continued rental growth.
Long-term interest rates have during recent months trailed upwards, which in isolation should impact investors' yield requirements. However, strong CPI growth, that is fully implemented into Entra's tenant contracts, and an expected very positive rental market particularly in Oslo, combined with solid macro and continued good investor appetite for commercial real estate, should provide a strong mitigating force. The investment market is very active and competitive, and prime yields have remained stable.
Sustainability has been an integrated part of Entra's business model for more than 10 years. Entra is working actively to reduce the CO2 footprint of its property portfolio and has a firm ambition to become a net zero carbon company by 2030. Assets representing almost 69 per cent of the value of the management portfolio are, or in the process of being, BREEAM certified. Entra issued its first green bond in 2016 and currently has 69 per cent of its debt portfolio in green bonds and bank loans.
With the acquisition of Oslo Areal, a portfolio of 17 properties located within Entra's existing clusters that was closed on 12 January 2022, Entra has significantly increased its exposure to Oslo and enhanced and expanded Entra's attractive project development pipeline for the years to come.
Even after the fully debt-financed 13.5 billion acquisition of Oslo Areal, Entra has a strong balance sheet, a well staggered debt maturity profile, and a diversified financing mix with an ample supply of unutilized credit facilities. Going forward, Entra will optimize and grow its high-quality portfolio and continue to build and progress the development pipeline. Entra will focus on its role as an urban developer and leverage its competitive advantages, including expertise, network and ESG leadership.
Entra owns and manages modern, flexible and environmentally friendly assets located in selected clusters near public transportation hubs. Geopolitical uncertainty will prevail going forward, but Entra, with a solid tenant base with long lease contracts, a strong financial position, and an extensive project pipeline for future growth, has a proven and resilient business profile that is well positioned for the future.

Entra ASA ("the Company") is listed on Oslo Stock Exchange with the ticker ENTRA. The Company and its subsidiaries (together "Entra" or "the Group") is one of Norway's leading commercial real estate companies, focusing on high quality, flexible office buildings with central locations. The Group owns and manages 96 (90) buildings with a total area of approximately 1.5 million (1.3 million) square metres. As of 31.12.21 the real estate portfolio had a market
value of around 68 billion (57 billion). The public sector represents approximately 56 per cent (58 per cent) of the total customer portfolio. Entra's strategic areas are Oslo, Trondheim, Bergen, Sandvika, Stavanger and Drammen. Entra has its head office in Oslo.
The financial statements were adopted by the Company's Board on 3 March 2022.
The most important accounting principles applied in the preparation of the annual financial statements are described below. These principles are applied in the same way for all periods presented, unless otherwise indicated in the description.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and interpretations by the IFRS Interpretation Committee (IFRIC), as adopted by the EU, as well as additional Norwegian reporting requirements pursuant to the Norwegian Accounting Act.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the historical cost principle, with the following modifications: investment properties as well as certain financial assets and financial liabilities have been measured at fair value. Financial instruments measured at fair value include the Group's derivatives.
Presenting the accounts in accordance with IFRS requires the management to make certain assessments and assumptions. The application of the Group's accounting principles also requires management to exercise judgement. Estimates and subjective judgements are based on past experience and other factors that are considered appropriate. Actual results may deviate from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are continuously reassessed. Changes in accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the changes occur if they apply only to that period. If the changes also apply to future periods, the impact is distributed over the current and future periods. Note 3 details items in the accounts that are based on a significant amount of subjective judgement.
The consolidated financial statements have been presented on the assumption of the business being a going concern.
The accounting policies adopted, and methods of computation followed are consistent with those of the previous financial year, except for items disclosed below.
The amendments provide temporary reliefs which address the financial reporting effects when an interbank offered rate (IBOR) is replaced with an alternative nearly risk-free interest rate (RFR). The amendments include the following practical expedients:
These amendments had no impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group. The Group intends to use the practical expedients in future periods if they become applicable.
New standards and interpretations not yet adopted by the Group None of the new accounting standards or interpretations that have not yet come into effect are expected to have a significant impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from
its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. The Group reassesses whether it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the elements of control listed above.
When the Group has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it has power over the investee when the voting rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether the Group's voting rights in an investee are sufficient to give it power, including:
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
The acquisition method is used to account for purchases of subsidiaries that constitute a business. The consideration given is measured at the fair value of the transferred assets, the equity instruments that have been issued, liabilities assumed on the transfer of control and direct costs relating to the actual purchase. The cost of acquisition also includes the fair value of all assets or liabilities that are the result of an agreement on contingent consideration.
Identifiable purchased assets, assumed liabilities and contingent liabilities are recognised at fair value on the date of acquisition. The costs associated with the business combination are expensed when they are incurred.
If the aggregate of the consideration, the carrying amount of non-controlling interests and the fair value on the acquisition date of any previously held ownership interests exceeds the fair value of the acquired entity's identifiable net assets, the difference is capitalised as goodwill. If the aggregate is less than the company's net assets, the difference is immediately recognised in profit or loss.
Contingent consideration is recognised at fair value on the date of acquisition. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss or recognised as a change in other comprehensive income (OCI), if the contingent consideration is classified as an asset or a liability. Contingent consideration classified as equity is not remeasured, and subsequent settlement is recognised in equity.
For accounting purposes, acquisitions of subsidiaries that do not constitute a business as defined in IFRS 3, such as acquisitions where substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single property or group of similar properties, are treated as asset acquisitions. The cost of acquisition is then
attributed to the individual identifiable assets and liabilities based on their relative fair values on the acquisition date. Expenses associated with the transaction are capitalized under the investment property. In such cases, deferred tax liabilities or assets are not recognised, except for deferred taxes related to losses carried forward, in accordance with the exceptions in IAS 12.
If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognises the related assets (including goodwill), liabilities, non-controlling interest and other components of equity, while any resultant gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss. Any investment retained is recognised at fair value.
Intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains are eliminated. Unrealised losses are eliminated, but are considered evidence of impairment in terms of writing down the value of the transferred asset. If necessary, the accounting policies at subsidiaries are changed in order to bring them into line with the Group's accounting policies.
Transactions with non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are treated as equity transactions. If shares are acquired from a non-controlling interest, the difference between the payment and the proportion of the carrying amount of the subsidiary's net assets attributable to the shares is recognised in the equity of the parent company's owners. Gains and losses arising from the sale of shares to non-controlling interests are similarly recognised in equity.
If the Group loses control, any residual holding is remeasured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). Thereafter, the fair value is used as the acquisition cost for accounting purposes, and the holding is treated as an investment in an associate, in a jointly controlled entity or in a financial asset. Amounts previously included in OCI that relate to the company are treated as if the Group had disposed the underlying asset and liability. This may result in amounts that were previously included in OCI being reclassified to the income statement.
Under IFRS 11, investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures. In a joint arrangement, no single party controls the arrangement on its own. The classification depends on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor, rather than the legal structure of the joint arrangement.
Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.
Entra classifies its investments based on an analysis of the degree of control and the underlying facts. This includes an assessment of voting rights, ownership structure and the relative strength, purchase and sale rights controlled by Entra and other shareholders. Each individual investment is assessed. Upon changes in underlying facts and circumstances, a new assessment must be made as to whether this
is still a joint venture. Changes in contractual rights and obligations relating to the underlying asset or debt and changes in the shareholders agreement might lead to a shift in the accounting method.
In joint ventures, the Group's share of the companies' profit/loss after tax, adjusted for amortisation of excess value and any deviations from accounting policies, are presented on a separate line in the consolidated income statement. Joint ventures are recognised in the consolidated accounts using the equity method and presented as non-current assets.
A transaction that entails a change of control from an investment in a joint venture to an investment in a subsidiary is treated as a realisation and require that a gain/loss at the time of derecognition of the joint venture has to be calculated and recognised in the income statement as results from associates and JVs according to the equity method. Equity transactions in a joint venture is presented as an equity transaction in the Group's statement of changes in equity.
Associates are companies over which the Group has significant influence but not control or joint control. Significant influence normally exists where the Group's investment represents between 20 and 50 per cent of the capital with voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, after initially being recognised at cost. Investments in associates include any excess values and goodwill identified at the time of acquisition, less any subsequent impairment losses.
The Group's share of the profit and loss of associates is recognised and added to the carrying amount of the investments. The Group's share of the comprehensive income of associates is recognised in the Group's comprehensive income and added to the carrying amount of the investments. The Group does not recognise its share of a loss if this would result in a negative carrying amount for the investment (including the entity's unsecured receivables), unless the Group has taken over obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
The Group's share of unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates is eliminated. This also applies to unrealized losses, unless there is a permanent loss of value. Where necessary, the accounts of associates have been brought into line with the Group's accounting policies. Gains and losses arising from the dilution of ownership interests in associates are recognised in profit or loss.
If the Group no longer has significant influence, any residual holding is remeasured at FVTPL. Thereafter, the fair value is used as the acquisition cost for accounting purposes, and the holding is treated as a financial asset. Amounts relating to the company that were previously recognised in comprehensive income are treated as if the associate had disposed of the underlying assets and liabilities. This may result in amounts that were previously included in comprehensive income being reclassified to the income statement. If the Group reduces its shareholding but retains significant influence, a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in comprehensive income is reclassified to the income statement.
Investment properties are owned with the aim of achieving a longterm return from rental income and increase in value. Investment properties are recognised at fair value, based on market values estimated by independent appraisers.
Initial measurement also takes into consideration the property's cost price, which includes direct transaction costs such as document duty and other public duties, legal fees and due diligence costs. Transaction costs associated with properties acquired through business combinations (as defined in IFRS 3) are expensed.
Subsequent expenditure is added to the investment property's carrying amount, if it is probable that future financial benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group and the expense can be measured reliably. Other maintenance costs are recorded through the income statement in the period in which they are incurred. When investment properties are disposed of, the difference between the net sales proceeds and carrying amount is recognised as change in value from investment properties.
Investment properties are valued at each reporting date. The values are estimated by independent appraisers. The valuation is based on the individual property's assumed future cash flows, and property values are arrived at by discounting cash flows with an individual risk-adjusted required rate of return.
The required rate of return for each property is defined as being a long-term risk-free interest rate plus a property-specific risk supplement. The latter is defined on the basis of the property segment to which the property belongs, its location, standard, occupancy rate, tenants' financial reliability and remaining lease term. Known market transactions with similar properties in the same geographical area are also taken into consideration.
Changes in fair value, including gains and losses on sale of investment properties, are recognised as "Changes in value of investment properties".
Investment properties are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered through a sales transaction rather than through their continuing use. This condition is regarded as met if the sale is highly probable and the investment property is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets. For the sale to be highly probable, the appropriate level of management must be committed to a plan to sell the investment property, and an active programme to locate a buyer and complete the plan must have been initiated. Further, the investment property must be actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value. In addition, the sale should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification. Investment properties classified as held for sale are measured at fair value in the same way as other investment properties.
Borrowing costs for capital used to finance investment properties under construction are capitalised under the asset in question. When calculating the capitalised borrowing costs, the average interest rate on the company's debt portfolio over the course of the year is used, unless there is separate financing for the specific project. In such cases the specific borrowing cost for the loan in question is used. When calculating the average interest rate to be used for the capitalisation of borrowing costs, loans taken out for specific projects are not included.
The Group enters into lease agreements as a lessor with respect to its investment properties. Lease contracts where a significant proportion of the risks and benefits of ownership remain with Entra are classified as operating leases. Revenue recognition under a lease commences at the inception of the lease. Rent payments for the leases are recognised in a straight line over the duration of the lease.
In negotiating a new or renewed operating lease, Entra may provide incentives for the lessee to enter into the agreement. Examples of such incentives are rent exemptions, up-front payments to the lessee or the reimbursement or assumption by the lessor of costs of the lessee (such as relocation costs, leasehold improvement and costs associated with a pre-existing lease commitment of the lessee). Entra recognises the aggregate benefit of incentives as a reduction of rental income over the lease on a straight-line basis. The accrued loss of rent or costs is presented under other receivables. Payments relating to the termination of contracts are recognised in the period from the contract being entered into until the date of its termination. Rental income encompasses the fair value of the payments received for services that fall within the ordinary activities of the company. Rental income is presented net of VAT, rebates and discounts.
Rental income from letting of inventory properties is presented as "Other revenues".
Costs for shared services provided to the tenants by external parties do not affect the result beyond an administrative premium recognised as rental income. Shared costs are charged to tenants and recognised in the balance sheet together with payments on account of tenants. Shared costs are settled after the balance sheet date.
In determining the basis for revenue recognition from contracts with customers, the Group identifies the distinct performance obligations under the contracts, allocate the transaction price to each identified performance obligation and account for revenue as each performance obligation is met.
Revenue from development of commercial properties, including transactions that are structured as sale of shares, are recognised over time according to the stage of completion if the buyer does not have the right to cancel a contract, and the Group as a seller can require a buyer to pay the consideration agreed in the contract even if the buyer acts to terminate a contract. A project's stage of completion is measured by reference to the contract costs incurred up to the end of the reporting period as percentage of total estimated costs. Contract assets related to non-invoiced revenue from such construction contracts are included in "Other receivables and other current assets".
Revenue from development of inventory properties for sale is recognised when the properties are handed over to the customer as the Group does not have an enforceable right to collect payment for the benefits performed to date.
Service income for extra services to tenants is recognised in the period the service is performed.
A financial instrument is defined as being any contract that gives rise to a financial asset for one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument for another entity. Financial instruments are recognised on the transaction date, i.e. the date on which the Group commits to buying or selling the asset. The classification of financial assets at initial recognition depends on the financial asset's contractual cash flow characteristics and the Group's business model for managing them.
Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as subsequently measured at amortised cost, fair value through OCI, and FVTPL. For a financial asset to be classified and measured at amortised cost or fair value through OCI, it needs to give rise to cash flows that are "solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI)" on the principal amount outstanding. This assessment is referred to as the SPPI test and is performed at an instrument level. Further, the financial assets shall be held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows. The majority of the Group's financial assets are classified as measured at amortised cost.
Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest (EIR) method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired. The Group's financial assets at amortised cost includes trade and other current receivables, cash and cash equivalents and other financial assets.
Financial assets at FVTPL include financial assets held for trading, financial assets designated upon initial recognition at FVTPL, and financial assets mandatorily required to be measured at fair value. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term.
Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives, are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging instruments. Financial assets with cash flows that are not solely payments of principal and interest are classified and measured at FVTPL. The Group's financial assets at FVTPL includes financial derivates and shares held for trading.
The Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses on all debt instruments not held at FVTPL. The amount of expected credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instrument.
Financial liabilities are classified upon initial recognition as financial liabilities at FVTPL and financial liabilities at amortised cost. Financial liabilities at FVTPL comprise loans designated at fair value upon initial recognition and derivatives. Financial liabilities at amortised cost consist of liabilities that do not fall under the category at FVTPL.
Trade receivables, contract assets and other financial assets are classified as financial assets measured at amortised cost. Interest is ignored if it is insignificant. The Group applies the simplified approach in IFRS 9 to measure the loss allowance at lifetime expected credit losses. A provision for bad debt is determined by estimating expected credit losses with reference to past default experience of the debtor and an analysis of the debtor's current financial position, adjusted for factors that are specific to the debtors, general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtors operate and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date. There has been no change in the estimation techniques or significant assumptions made during the current reporting period. Any subsequent payments received against accounts for which a provision has previously been made are recognised in the income statement. Trade receivables, contract assets and other financial assets are classified as current assets, unless they are due more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. If so, they are classified as non-current assets.
Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank deposits and other short-term, highly liquid investments with an original term to maturity of no more than three months.
The Group uses derivatives to manage its interest rate risk. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which the contract was signed, and subsequently at fair value. Gains or losses on remeasurement at fair value are recognised in the income statement. Regular payments are presented as interest and other finance expenses. Changes in the value of the derivatives are presented under "Changes in value of financial instruments".
The fair value of interest rate swaps is the estimated amount the Group would receive or pay to redeem the contracts on the balance sheet date. This amount will depend on interest rates and the contracts' remaining term to maturity. The derivatives are classified on the balance sheet as current or non-current, depending on whether they are expected to be redeemed under or over 12 months from the balance sheet date.
Trade payables and other non-interest bearing liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at amortised cost, and are measured at fair value upon initial recognition, and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Interest is ignored if it is insignificant.
Interest bearing liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at amortised cost, and are measured at fair value upon initial recognition, and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Amortised cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. The effective interest rate amortisation is included as net realised financials in the statement of profit or loss. The liabilities are measured at their nominal value when the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Interest bearing liabilities are classified as current liabilities where the debt is due for repayment less than 12 months from the balance sheet date.
The Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of the contract. The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease contracts in which it is the lessee, except for leases with a lease term of 12 months or less, and leases of low value assets (such as vehicles and technical and office equipment), for which the Group applies the "short-term lease" and "lease of low-value assets" recognition exemptions. For these leases, the Group recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Only fixed payments are included in the initial measurement of the lease liability, and the lease term corresponds to the non-terminable period. The discount rate used to calculate the lease liability is determined, for each asset, based on the Group's incremental borrowing rate for leases with under 15 years until maturity. For leases with over 15 years until maturity, the discount rate is based on the properties' net yields, adjusted for features that affect Entra's incremental borrowing rate, such as tenant-specific factors and the length of the lease. The lease liability is presented as part of other liabilities in the balance sheet.
For lease contracts where the leased properties meet the definition of investment properties in IAS 40, Entra applies the fair value model to the associated right-of-use assets. The right-of-use assets are measured by discounting the assumed future cash flows under the lease contracts. The discount rate used to calculate the right-ofuse asset may be different from the discount rate used to calculate the lease liability. The right-of-use assets are presented as part of investment properties in the balance sheet.
Goodwill is the difference between the cost and the fair value of the Group's share of net identifiable assets in the entity on the acquisition date. Goodwill arising from the acquisition of subsidiaries that constitute a business as defined in IFRS 3, is classified as an intangible asset. For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the relevant cash-generating units. Goodwill is allocated to the cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the acquisition from which the goodwill arose. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually and is recognised at cost less any impairment losses. Impairment of goodwill is not reversed. Gains and losses on the sale of an operation include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the sold operation.
Goodwill arising from the purchase of shares in associates and jointly controlled entities is included under the investment in the associate or jointly controlled entity, and is tested for impairment as part of the carrying amount of the investment.
Intangible assets with an uncertain useful life are not depreciated and are instead tested annually for impairment. Intangible assets that are depreciated are also tested for impairment if there is any indication to suggest that future cash flows cannot justify the carrying amount of the asset. Write-downs are recorded through the income statement as the difference between the carrying amount and the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the value in use or fair value, whichever is the higher, less selling costs. When testing for impairment, intangible assets are grouped at the lowest possible level at which it is possible to identify independent cash flows (cash-generating units). In conjunction with each financial report, the company assesses whether it is possible to reverse past writedowns of non-financial assets (except goodwill).
The Group has both defined benefit and defined contribution pension schemes. A defined benefit pension scheme is a pension arrangement that defines the pension payment an employee will receive on retirement. The pension benefit payable is dependent on a number of factors, such as the employee's age, number of years of membership of the Norwegian Public Service Pension Fund and salary.
The recognised pension obligation relating to defined benefit plans is the present value of the defined benefit on the balance sheet date less the fair value of the plan assets. The gross pension obligation is calculated annually by an independent actuary using the projected credit unit method. The gross pension obligation is discounted using a discount rate based on bonds with preference rights, which mature around the same time as the related pension obligations.
Changes to benefits payable under the pension plan are recognised in the income statement as they arise. Actuarial gains/losses resulting from new information or changes to actuarial assumptions are recognised against equity via comprehensive income in the period they arise.
Contributions to defined contributions plans are recognised in the income statement in the period in which they accrue.
The Group has a share-based incentive program for executives ("LTI"). The LTI scheme is reported in accordance with IFRS 2. LTI remuneration is share-based and has a vesting period of five years, whereof 1/3 matures after three years, another 1/3 after four years and the remaining 1/3 after five years. The fair value at the grant date is measured applying Black-Scholes (BS) based on the market price. The fair value of the shares allocated through the LTI is calculated on the basis of the share price at grant date, taking into account the likelihood of the employee still being employed after the lock-up period. The amount is recognised as payroll expenses at grant date and accrued for the period from grant date to the date when the shares are without any restrictions.
Sales of shares to employees in the share saving scheme are reported in accordance with IFRS 2. The recognised discount is calculated as the difference between market price and purchase price at the time of purchase, taking into account the agreed lock-in period for the shares. The effect of the agreed lock-in period is calculated as the value of a put option using the BS model. The assumptions relating to volatility are based on the actual fluctuations in the price of Entra's shares. The share of the discount that represents the difference between the calculated BS value and the market value of the shares is recognised against equity and the remaining discount, that represents the difference between the paid amount for the shares by the employees and the BS value, is recognised as payroll expenses at the time of allocation.
The tax expense consists of tax payable and deferred tax. Tax is charged to the income statement, except where it relates to items that are recognised in OCI or directly in equity. In such cases, the tax is either recognised in OCI or directly in equity.
Deferred tax is calculated using the liability method for all temporary differences between the tax values and consolidated accounting values of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax liabilities are not calculated and recognised upon initial recognition of assets or liabilities obtained through an acquisition of a subsidiary not classified as a business combination. Deferred tax is defined using tax rates and laws which are enacted or likely to be enacted on the balance sheet date, and which are expected to be used when the deferred tax asset is realised or when the deferred tax is utilised.
Deferred tax is calculated and provided or reduced in the event of adjustments to the value of investment properties at a nominal tax rate of 22 per cent. A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is likely that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be offset.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, and interests in jointly controlled entities, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary difference will not be reversed in the foreseeable future.
The Group recognises provisions for legal claims when a legal or self-imposed obligation exists as a result of past events, when it is likely that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and its amount can be estimated with a sufficient degree of reliability.
In cases where there are several obligations of the same nature, the likelihood of settlement is determined by assessing the Group as a whole. A provision for the Group is recognised even if there is little likelihood of settlement of the Group's individual elements.
Provisions are measured at the present value of expected payments to settle an obligation. A discount rate before tax is used which reflects the present market situation. Any increase in an
obligation as a result of a changed time value is reported as a financial expense.
A provision for onerous contracts is recognised when the expected benefits to be derived by Entra from a contract are lower than the unavoidable cost of meeting its obligations under the contract. The provision is measured at the present value of the lower of the expected cost of terminating the contract and the expected net cost of continuing with the contract and taking into consideration any reasonably obtainable subleases.
The Group's inventory properties comprise residential projects under zoning, development and construction. The residential projects under development and construction are intended for sale in the ordinary course of business. Properties under zoning for residential purposes may be handed over to other residential developers. Where the Group constructs the residential projects, the individual units are handed over to the purchaser when they are completed. Inventory properties may comprise properties held for resale, property under development and construction, and completed units which are not sold. Inventory properties are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Other operating assets are recognised at acquisition cost, less depreciation. The acquisition cost includes costs directly related to the acquisition of the asset. Other operating assets are depreciated in a straight line over their anticipated remaining useful life.
The assets' remaining useful life and residual value are reassessed on each balance sheet date and changed if necessary. If the carrying amount of an asset is higher than its recoverable amount, the value of the asset is written down to the recoverable amount.
Gains and losses on disposals are recognised through profit or loss, and are calculated as the difference between the sales price and the carrying amount at the time of disposal.
The Group's presentation currency is NOK. This is also the functional currency of the parent company and all its subsidiaries.
Foreign currency transactions are translated at the exchange rate on the date of the transaction. Monetary foreign currency items are translated to NOK at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items that are measured at cost in a foreign currency are translated to NOK using the exchange rate on the transaction date. Non-monetary items that are measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated to NOK using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Exchange rate fluctuations are recognised in profit or loss as they arise.
Operating segments are reported in the same way as in internal reports to the Group's highest decision-making authority. The Group's highest decision-making authority, which is responsible for allocating resources and assessing the profitability of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors and the CEO.
The statement of cash flows is prepared using the indirect method. This means that the statement is based on the Group's profit before tax in order to present cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities respectively. Interest on leases and net interest and fees paid on loans are presented as operating cash flows. Dividends paid to shareholders and non-controlling interests are presented under financing activities.
Entra pays semi-annual dividends. Dividend payments to the company's shareholders for the first half year are classified as debt from the date on which a resolution regarding the dividend is passed by the Board of Directors. Dividend payments to the company's shareholders for the second half year are classified as debt from the date on which a resolution regarding the dividend is passed by the Annual General Meeting.
Investment properties are measured at their fair value based on external, independent valuations.
Each quarter, all the properties are valued by two independent, external appraisers. The valuations at 31 December 2021 were obtained from Akershus Eiendom/JLL and Newsec. The valuations are mainly based on the discounted cash flow method, which involves discounting future cash flows over a specified period using an estimated discount rate and then adding a residual value at the end of the period. Future cash flows are calculated on the basis of cash flows from signed leases, as well as future cash flows based on an expected market rent at the end of the lease terms. The fair value of investment properties is therefore mainly affected by expected market rents, discount rates and inflation. The market rent for each property takes into account the property's location, situation, standard and leases signed for comparable properties in the area. For the duration of existing lease terms, the discount rate is mainly based on an assessment of the individual tenants' financial solidity and classification. After the end of the lease term, cash flows are discounted using a discount rate that takes into account the risk relating to letting and location. Inflation is estimated using the consensus of a selection of banks and official statistics.
When carrying out their valuations, the appraisers receive comprehensive details of the leases for the properties, floor space and details of any vacant premises, and up-to-date information about all ongoing projects. Any uncertainties relating to the properties/ projects and leases are also clarified verbally and in writing as and when required. The Group management performs internal controls to ensure that all relevant information is included in the valuations.
The appraisers perform their valuations on the basis of the information they have received, and estimate future market rents, yields, inflation and other relevant parameters. Each individual property is assessed in terms of its market position, rental income (contractual rents versus market rents) and ownership costs, with estimates being made for anticipated vacancy levels and the need for alterations and upgrades. The remaining term of the leases is also assessed for risk, along with any special clauses in the contracts. Each property is also compared with recently sold properties in the same segment (location, type of property, mix of tenants, etc).
Market transactions serve as important reference points for the appraisers and the number of transactions thus influence the level of uncertainty in the valuations. Total transaction volume in the Norwegian commercial real estate market in 2021 came in above NOK 160 billion. The transaction activity has been high in the whole country during 2021, and a number of transactions of relevance for Entra's portfolio were completed, providing the appraisers with relevant reference transactions for the valuation of Entra's portfolio at year-end.
Properties representing approximately 69 per cent of the market value of Entra's properties are, or are in the process of being, BREEAM certified. There is high demand for environment-friendly office properties in both the letting and transaction market. The appraisers monitor the transaction market closely, and current transaction market trends indicate that the potential short-term adverse effect on the market values of Entra's property portfolio due to climaterelated risks, including physical and transition risks, is limited.
The table below shows to what extent the value of the management property portfolio is affected by market rents and exit yields (market yields), assuming that all other factors are equal. However, there are interrelationships between these variables, and it is expected that a change in one variable may influence one or more of the other variables.

1) Estimates by Newsec in conjunction with valuations at 31 December 2021.
Entra considers that it controls Entra OPF Utvikling AS and Hinna Park Eiendom AS with a 50 per cent holding in the companies. In this assessment, Entra has considered all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether the voting rights are sufficient to give Entra power over the two companies. A key consideration is whether Entra has the practical ability to unilaterally direct the relevant activities that affect the amount of Entra's return. The relevant activities, including property management, ongoing maintenance and minor redevelopment projects, are directed by the Board of Directors in the two companies. The shareholder agreements include certain provisions that restricts Entra from
making significant changes to the business of the two companies. These provisions are not considered to give the co-investors power over the companies, and are only considered to be protective rights. As Entra shall appoint the Chairman of the two companies and the Chairman has a double vote in the Board of Directors of the companies, Entra has concluded it controls these companies.
The Group uses interest rate derivatives and fixed rate loans to manage the interest rate risk. The financial derivatives are valued at fair value in the Group's balance sheet. See note 8 for further information on the valuation of the Group's financial derivatives.
All amounts in NOK million
The Board of Entra ASA has defined limits for the financial exposure of the Group through the financial policy. The financial policy regulates the following:
There is a responsibility and authority matrix for the Finance department, which defines authority for the day-to-day management of financial transactions within the overall framework of financial management.
The Group must ensure that there is adequate operational risk management and internal control through clear areas of responsibility and allocation of duties. The procedures relate in particular to the management of financial exposure and the division of responsibility between the various roles in the Finance department and the department's financial systems. There are guidelines for managing financial exposure, which include checklists related to the control of current transactions.
The finance department is continuously assessing the Group's financial risks and opportunities. Projections and simulations are made in the corporate financial model based on detailed assumptions on macroeconomic development, financial parameters and the property market. The simulations are intended to provide information for the Board and management in their monitoring of key financial figures for the Group.
The Group's finance strategy shall ensure that the Group has financial flexibility and that it achieves competitive financial terms. The Group is exposed to financial risk and has defined the following relevant risk areas:
Financing risk is the risk that the Group will be unable to meet its financial obligations when they are due and that financing will not be available at a reasonable price.
The Group seeks to limit financing risk through:
The main purpose of the Group's capital management is to maintain a good balance between debt and equity, in order to maximise the value of the shares in the Group, while also maintaining a good credit rating and obtaining loan terms with lenders that reflect the risk profile of the Group. The Group has defined a target for the Loan-To-Value ratio which shall not exceed 50 per cent over time. There are covenants in the Group's loan agreements that specify requirements in relation to the company's financial strength.
Interest rate risk arises from the interest-bearing debt being affected by changes in market rates. Interest rate risk affects the Group's cash flows and the market value of the Group's liabilities. The main purpose of the Group's interest rate strategy is to ensure that the Group achieves the desired balance between the interest expense and interest rate risk. The Group's interest rate risk is managed within the following financial policy requirements:
Stable, predictable and long-term access to capital is critical for Entra. Entra considers that the ability of creditors to behave predictably over the long term is often dependent on their creditworthiness. For this reason, Entra wants the Group's creditors to be of a good credit quality and has established credit rating limits for the Group's creditors. The credit ratings of the Group's financial counterparties are continuously monitored. The fair value of all financial derivative assets was 254 million (347 million).
Trade receivables at 31 December 2021 was 77 million (64 million), contract assets was 2 million (11 million), external loans was 3 million (69 million) and other long-term receivables was 85 million (89 million). The concentration of credit risk with respect to trade debtors is assessed to be low, as the majority of Entra's customers are paying their rent in advance. The creditworthiness of counterparties in construction contracts that give rise to contract assets and contracts with debtors that give rise to other receivables are thoroughly evaluated before entering into the contracts.
Cash and bank deposits at 31 December 2021 amounted to 309 million (217 million). The deposits were placed with financial institutions with A-/A3 or better credit ratings.
The Group shall not incur any currency risk. The Group did not have any currency exposure at 31 December 2021.
There are covenants in the Group's bank loan agreements relating to interest cover ratio (ICR) and the loan-to-value of property (LTV). At 31 December 2021, the Group was not in breach of any covenants.
There are no covenants in relation to the Group's bond or commercial paper loans.

At 31 December 2021, the Group had 277 (181) million of available liquid assets. See Note 22.
The Group's liabilities are subject to fixed interest rates (47 per cent of liabilities at 31 December 2021 compared to 50 per cent at 31 December 2020). The Group uses a variety of derivatives to adapt its portfolio to the chosen fixed rate structure. The choice of fixed interest profile is based on an evaluation of the Group's financial strength and ability to generate long-term, stable cash flow.
At 31 December 2021, the weighted average remaining term to maturity was 3.1 years (2.4 years). The average interest rate was 2.25 per cent (2.38 per cent) at 31 December 2021.
The table below shows the nominal value of outstanding current and non-current interest-bearing debt including derivatives.

1) 4,300 million (3,300 million) of swaps linked to the fixed-interest bonds issued by the Group are included in the volume of interest rate swaps. These bonds are swapped to a variable rate in order to ensure that the Group is in a position to manage its interest rate fixing independently of the bonds. The real volume used for interest rate fixing is therefore 10,860 million (8,910 million). At 31 December 2021, the Group has no interest rate options or option-related products.
The Group mainly enters into lease contracts with fixed rent for the lease of property. Lease payments for the majority of the contracts include CPI increases.

1) The rent is stated as the annualised contractual rent, and is therefore not reconcilable with the rental income for the year for accounting purposes.

On account of the high occupancy rate, the high proportion of public sector tenants and the relatively long average remaining contract term, the risk to the Group's cash flow is considered low. There is no significant effect of the Covid-19 pandemic on rental income from 2021.
The Group has one main operational unit, led by the COO. The property portfolio is divided into six different geographic areas in Oslo, Sandvika, Drammen, Stavanger, Bergen and Trondheim, with management teams monitoring and following upon each area. The geographic units are supported by a Market and Property Development division and a Project Development division. In addition, Entra has group and support functions within accounting, finance, legal, investment, ICT/digitalisation, procurement, communication and HR.
The geographic areas do not have their own profit responsibility. The geographical areas are instead followed up on economical and non-economical key figures ("key performance indicators"). These key figures are analysed and reported by geographic area to the chief operating decision maker, that is the board and CEO, for the purpose of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance. Hence, the Group report the segment information based upon these six geographic areas.

The calculation of net yield is based on the appraisers' assumption of ownership costs, which at 31.12.21 corresponds to 6.5 per cent of market rent.
The Groups 20 largest tenants accounts for approximately 46 per cent of the Group's total rental income. The Group does not have any tenants contributing to more than 10 per cent of the Group's rental income.

Investment properties are valued at fair value based on independent external valuations.
Financial derivatives are measured at fair value using valuation methods where the significant parameters are obtained from quoted market data.
The Group uses the following hierarchy to classify assets and liabilities, based on the valuation methods used to measure and disclose their fair value.
Level 3: Valuation techniques that use parameters that significantly affect the valuation, but which are not observable.

Pursuant to the lease agreement entered into between Entra and Bærum municipality on 23 June 2005, which expires on 27 January 2027, the tenant has an option to acquire Borkenveien 1-3 in Sandvika (Vøyenenga School). In 2021, the Entra received notification that the tenant intended to exercise the option in 2022 at the purchase option price of 86.9 million, and the property is classified as held for sale at 31 December 2021. The transaction is expected to close in 2022.
Certain other of the Group's properties are subject to purchase options, as described below.
Pursuant to the lease agreements entered into between Entra and the Norwegian Ministry of Culture on 22 April 2005, 15 October 2003 and 30 June 2005, respectively, the tenant has an option to acquire the three buildings comprising the National Library in
Henrik Ibsens gate 110/Observatoriegaten 1 in Oslo (the refurbished buildings "Magasinet" and "Halvbroren"). The tenant has the right to acquire the refurbished buildings at expiry of each 25 year lease period (expiring on 6 June 2030 and 31 December 2029, respectively). The leases include an unlimited number of 25-year extension periods, at market rents. Further, the tenant has the right, upon six months' notice, to acquire "Halvbroren" if the tenant itself leases and uses more than 50 per cent of the building. As of 31 December 2021, the tenant leased and used more of the building than the threshold. The purchase price for all three buildings shall equal the market value of the buildings based on the capitalised future rental income based on the assumption that the lease agreements are continuously prolonged in accordance with the renewal clause in the lease agreements.
Pursuant to the ground lease agreement entered into between Entra and Oslo Havn KF on 4 October 1979 relating to the Langkaia 1 in Oslo, the ground lessor has an option to acquire the buildings without any compensation and free of any encumbrances upon expiry of the ground lease agreement on 1 January 2031. As the property is valued based on the cash flow until expiry of the ground lease agreement (i.e. no residual value), there will be an ongoing decrease in the balance sheet value until 2030.
Pursuant to the lease agreement entered into between Entra and University of Oslo ("UiO") on 16 June 2016, the tenant has an option to acquire the property Kristian Augusts gate 15-21 (building and land) in Oslo in 2034 and in 2044. The purchase price shall be based on a gross market yield at time of calling the option and valued at a remaining wault of fifteen years of the lease agreement. The gross yield has a cap at 5.25 percent (gross yield < 5.25 per cent). The option to acquire must be called twelve months ahead of the two points in time at the latest. If the option to acquire is called at the first possible point in time (after 15 years), the remaining rent compensation paid by UiO to Entra regarding St. Olavs Plass 5 (previous lease agreement), must be paid in full together with the purchase price for the property.
Pursuant to the lease agreement and option agreement entered into between Entra and BI Norwegian Business School ("BI") on 15 February 2016, the tenant has an option to acquire the company which owns the building Brattørkaia 16 in Trondheim in the years 2023, 2028, 2033 and 2038. The purchase price shall be based on a pre-agreed net yield. The net rent at the time of exercising the option, includes value added tax (vat) compensation. The option to acquire must be called twelve months ahead of the four points in time at the latest.

In general the Group's financing is based on the parent company borrowing from external parties using negative pledge clauses. Whollyowned subsidiaries are generally financed using intra-group loans.
For projects/properties with special characteristics, separate mortgage-based financing can be arranged. At 31 December 2021, there are one bond loan that is secured with pledge on assets. The bond of 1,100 million (1,100 million) is secured against the National Library and associated buildings, located at Henrik Ibsens gate 110 in Oslo. The lender also has a mortgage on the rental income from the property.
For subsidiaries that are not wholly-owned by Entra ASA, separate financing is generally arranged without any guarantee from the shareholders. This kind of financing is generally secured through a mortgage.

Entra targets a dividend pay-out ratio of approximately 60 per cent of Cash Earnings. Refer to the alternative performance measures section of the annual report for calculation of Cash Earnings.
Entra's dividend policy is based on semi-annual dividend payments. In line with the dividend policy, the board of Entra will propose to distribute a semi-annual dividend of 2.60 (2.50) per share for the second half of 2021. In October 2021, Entra paid out 2.50 per share (2.40 per share) for the first six months of 2021. For the financial year 2021 Entra will thus have paid out 5.10 per share (4.90 per share).
Dividend payments to the company's shareholders for the second half year are classified as debt from the date on which a resolution regarding the dividend is passed by the Annual General Meeting.
Entra was in 2016 in zoning processes regarding two of the Groups properties in Oslo. Oslo municipality claimed Entra for a contribution for unrelated projects, of which 16 million was paid in 2017. Entra was of the opinion that the claim was unlawful and applied for a ruling by Oslo District Court, which ruled in favour of Entra in June 2019. Oslo municipality appealed the ruling, and Borgarting Court of Appeal ruled in favour of Oslo municipality in January 2021. Entra appealed the ruling to the Supreme Court.
In May 2021, the Supreme Court's Appeal Committee denied the appeal for judicial review by Supreme Court, and the ruling from Borgarting Court of Appeal is consequently final. Entra's claim was regarded as a contingent asset, and the denial from the Supreme Court's Appeal Committee has no impact on Entra's balance sheet.
On 12 January 2022, Entra closed the acquisition of the Oslo Areal portfolio, with 17 properties in the Greater Oslo Region with property value of 13,550 million. The transaction will be recognised as an asset acquisition.
In January 2022, Entra divested its 50 per cent share in Hinna Park Eiendom to the newly established SVG Property AS ("SVG Property"). As settlement, Entra received 15 per cent of the shares in SVG Property, 64 million through a seller credit and a cash consideration of 99 million. Hinna Park Eiendom will be deconsolidated from Entra's financial statements from closing of the transaction, and the investment in SVG Property will be recognized as a financial asset at fair value through profit and loss.

Entra ASA ("the Company") is listed on Oslo Stock Exchange with the ticker ENTRA. The Company and its subsidiaries (together "Entra" or "the Group") is one of Norway's leading commercial real estate companies, focusing on high quality, flexible office buildings with central locations. The Group owns and manages 96 (90) buildings with a total area of approximately 1.5 million (1.3 million) square metres. As of 31.12.21 the real estate portfolio had a market
value of around 68 billion (57 billion). The public sector represents approximately 56 per cent (58 per cent) of the total customer portfolio. Entra's strategic areas are Oslo, Trondheim, Bergen, Sandvika, Stavanger and Drammen. Entra has its head office in Oslo.
The financial statements were adopted by the Company's Board on 3 March 2022.
The most important accounting principles applied in the preparation of the annual financial statements are described below. These principles are applied in the same way for all periods presented, unless otherwise indicated in the description.
The annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Norwegian Accounting Act of 1998 and good accounting practice (NGAAP).
The annual financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the historical cost principle.
Presenting the accounts in accordance with NGAAP requires the management to make certain assessments and assumptions. The application of the company's accounting principles also requires management to exercise judgement. Estimates and subjective judgements are based on past experience and other factors that are considered appropriate. Actual results may deviate from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are continuously reassessed. Changes in accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the changes occur if they apply only to that period. If the changes also apply to future periods, the impact is distributed over the current and future periods.
The annual financial statements have been presented on the assumption of the business being a going concern.
Assets intended for long-term ownership or use are classified as non-current assets. Other assets are classified as current assets. Receivables that are repayable within a year are classified as current assets. When classifying non-current and current liabilities, equivalent criteria have been applied.
Current assets are valued at the lower of the acquisition cost and fair value.
Revenue is recognised when it is earned, i.e. when the claim to remuneration arises. This occurs when the service is performed, as the work is being done. The revenue is recognised with the value of the remuneration at the time of transaction.
Costs are normally reported in the same period as the related income. Where there is no clear link between expenditure and the income, allocation is determined on the basis of assessment criteria.
The presentation currency is NOK. This is also the functional currency of the company.
Foreign currency transactions are translated at the exchange rate on the date of the transaction. Monetary foreign currency items on the balance sheet are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date.
Property and equipment are recognised at acquisition cost on the balance sheet and are depreciated to a schedule over the anticipated useful life of the assets. The acquisition cost includes costs directly related to the acquisition of the asset. Direct maintenance of property and equipment is recognised in the income statement on an ongoing basis. Additions or improvements are added to the asset´s cost price and are depreciated in line with the asset.
Investments in subsidiaries are included in the company accounts using the cost method. Investments are written down to their fair value if the reduction in value is other than temporary and the write-down appears to be necessary in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Dividends and Group contributions from subsidiaries are recognised as income from the investment in the subsidiary in the year that the allocation is made by the subsidiary. Dividends and Group
contributions from subsidiaries that exceed the retained earnings over the period of ownership are considered as repayments of the acquisition cost.
Jointly controlled entities are entities where the company shares control with other parties, and where an agreement between the parties ensures that strategic decisions on financial and operating policies are unanimous. This applies to companies where a shareholder agreement ensures joint control of the business.
Associates are entities over which the company has significant influence but not control. Significant influence normally exists where the company's investment represents between 20 and 50 per cent of the capital with voting rights.
Investments in jointly controlled entities and associates are included in the company accounts using the cost method. Investments are written down to their fair value if the reduction in value is other than temporary and the write-down appears to be necessary in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Trade receivables and other receivables are reported at nominal value after deduction of loss provisions. Loss provisions are made on the basis of an individual assessment of each receivables.
Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank deposits and other short-term, highly liquid investments with an original term to maturity of no more than three months.
The company has an account in a Group cash pooling arrangement and finances its subsidiaries´ liquidity requirements.
Non-current liabilities are shown on the balance sheet at nominal value on the initial date. Premiums and discounts in connection with taking on non-current liabilities, as well as arrangement fees, are accrued over the period of the loan. Similarly, in the event of the repurchase of bonds, premiums and discounts are accrued over the remaining term to maturity for the relevant liabilities.
All of the company's debt is subject to variable rates (including fixed rate bonds, which are swapped to a variable rate). The company has then used interest rate swaps to convert its debt to fixed rate loans with varying maturities. For information on maturities, please see Note 14. The company accrues these interest-rate swaps in such a way that the fixed rate is expensed in the income statement. On the termination of interest rate swap agreements, the profit or loss is accrued over the remaining term to maturity of the agreement in question.
The company has chosen to apply accounting principles which mean that changes in the value of the company's interest rate swaps are not recognised in the income statement. Hedged items are carried at their nominal value.
In general, the Group's financing is based on negative pledge clauses.
The company has both a defined-benefit pension scheme and a defined contribution pension-scheme. A defined benefit pension scheme is a pension arrangement that defines the pension payment an employee will receive on retirement. The guarantee means that employees will receive at least 66 per cent of their pension qualifying salary. Any income over and above 12 times the National Insurance Scheme's basic amount is not included in the qualifying salary. The pension benefit payable is based on the employee's salary, average percentage of full-time equivalents and length of service (30 years' service qualifies for a full pension)
The recognised pension obligation relating to defined-benefit plans is the present value of the defined-benefit on the balance sheet date less the fair value of the plan assets. The gross pension obligation is calculated annually by an independent actuary using the projected credit unit method. The gross obligation is discounted using a discount rate based on bonds with preference rights, which mature around the same time as the related pension obligations.
Changes to benefits payable under the pension plan are recognised in the income statement as they arise.
Actuarial gains/losses resulting from new information or changes to actuarial assumptions are recognised against equity.
Defined contribution schemes comprise arrangements whereby the company makes annual contributions to the employees' pension plans, and where the future pension is determined by the amount of the contributions and the return on the pension plan assets. In the defined contribution schemes, the cost is equal to the contributions to the employees' pension savings in the accounting period and are recognised in the income statement in the period in which they accrue.
Tax The tax expense consists of tax payable and deferred tax. Tax is charged to the income statement, except where it relates to items that are recognised directly in equity. In such cases, the tax is recognised directly in the balance.
Deferred tax is calculated using the liability method for all temporary differences between the tax values and accounting values of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax is defined using tax rates and laws which are enacted or likely to be enacted on the balance sheet date, and which are expected to be used when the deferred tax asset is realised or when the deferred tax is utilised.
A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is likely that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be offset.
In principle, deferred tax is not calculated on temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries. This does not apply in cases where the company is not in control of when the temporary differences will be reversed, and it is probable that they will be reversed in the foreseeable future.
The statement of cash flows is prepared using the indirect method. This means that the statement is based on the company's profit before tax in order to present cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities respectively. Dividends paid to shareholders are presented under financing activities.
Dividend payments to the company's shareholders for the fiscal year are classified as debt at the balance sheet date.

Interest rate hedging at Entra ASA is part of the Group's overall risk management, and must be viewed in that context. Interest-rate positions should support the company's strategic development, risk profile and anticipated future market interest rates based on the Group's interest rate view. The Group's guidelines on managing interest rate risk are expressed as a preferred interest rate structure (standard portfolio).
At 31 December 2021 the weighted average remaining term to maturity was 3.4 years (2.6 years). The company's average interest rate was 2.2 per cent (2.4 per cent) at 31 December 2021.

The effect of interest rate hedges is shown in the income statement. The fair value of the company's portfolio of interest rate hedges is not shown on the balance sheet.
Entra ASA uses interest rate derivatives and fixed rate loans to manage the interest rate risk associated with the company's interest bearing debt financing.
The company's debt financing consists of bank loans, as well as commercial paper and bonds. The bank loans are subject to variable interest rates. Commercial paper is subject to variable interest rates. The company has issued both fixed-rate and variable-rate bonds. Outstanding fixed-rate bonds are hedged using fixed-to-variable interest rate swaps. As a result, the hedged bonds are classified as part of the company's portfolio of variable rate loans. Fixed rate bonds without hedging amounted per 31 December 2021 to 6,099 million. These bonds are fixed rate and is included as part of the company's cash flow hedges.

The company's exposure to variable interest rates is hedged for cash flow risk using variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps.
Entra ASA's debt are directly or indirectly subject to variable interest rates. Entra ASA uses variable-to-fixed interest rate derivatives to manage the company's interest rate risk. Cash flows are hedged by matching the terms and volumes of the interest rate derivatives with the expected maturity profile of the company's interest bearing debt. The expected maturity profile of Entra ASA's interest- bearing debt is based on an assessment of the need to refinance existing debt and to obtain additional financing.
The table below shows that after taking into account cash flow hedges, 52 per cent (55 per cent) of the company's interest bearing liabilities are effectively subject to fixed interest rates.
Changes in NIBOR rates will therefore affect the interest expense on 48 per cent (45 per cent) of the company's interest bearing debt.

The fair value of the company's interest rate swaps used as cash flow hedges specifies the present value of the contractual fixed-interest rate agreements. The present value represents the market value of the company's liabilities to the counterparty of the interest rate swaps. The change in value over the financial year represents the change in the market value of liabilities. The reason for the increase in the company's market value of liabilities for financial year 2021 is mainly due to lower interest rate.
Entra ASA has the following fair value hedges for the company's outstanding fixed-rate bonds:

| Key audit matter | How the matter was addressed in our audit |
|---|---|
| The majority of the Group's assets consist of Investment property. Investment property is recognised at fair value, based on fair values from third party valuers. |
The Group has established control activities to ensure that relevant property information is included in the external valuations. We have assessed the design of the control activities and tested if they have operated effectively in the reporting period. |
| Each quarter, all properties are valued by two third party valuers. Market transactions serve as important reference points for the third party valuers and the level of transactions thus influence the level of uncertainty in the assumptions used |

We met with the third party valuers and discussed and challenged their judgements used in the valuation of investment properties, particularly in light of the market development during 2021. We assessed their qualifications and expertise and reviewed their |

terms of engagement in order to determine whether there were any matters that might have affected their objectivity. We assessed the valuation methods used against generally accepted valuation standards and practices. |
| For a sample of investment properties, we obtained the third party valuers' valuation reports and reconciled the values used in the financial statements to the valuation reports. |
|
| For a sample of investment properties, we obtained and assessed the Group's analysis and rationale for the changes in fair value from quarter to quarter. |
|
| In carrying out the procedures related to valuation of investment property, we used our internal valuation specialists. |
|
| We assessed whether the disclosures in note 3, 8 and 16 regarding valuation of investment properties were adequate. |
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director (management) are responsible for the information in the Board of Directors' report and the other information accompanying the financial statements. The other information comprises information in the annual report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the information in the Board of Directors' report nor the other information accompanying the financial statements.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the Board of Directors' report and the other information accompanying the financial statements. The purpose is to consider if there is material inconsistency between the Board of Directors' report and the other information accompanying the financial statements and the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or whether the Board of Directors' report and the other information accompanying the financial statements otherwise appears to be materially misstated. We are required to report if there is a material misstatement in the Board of Directors' report or the other information accompanying the financial statements. We have nothing to report in this regard. Based on our knowledge obtained in the audit, it is our opinion that the Board of Directors' report
side 3 Independent Auditor's Report - Entra ASA
Our opinion on the Board of Director's report applies correspondingly to the statements on Corporate Governance and Corporate Social Responsibility.
Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and accounting standards and practices generally accepted in Norway, and for the preparation and true and fair view of the consolidated financial statements of the Group in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern. The financial statements of the Company use the going concern basis of accounting insofar as it is not likely that the enterprise will cease operations. The consolidated financial statements of the Group use the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the Board of Directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the Audit Committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the Board of Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
We have performed an assurance engagement to obtain reasonable assurance that the financial statements with file name entraasa-2021-12-31-en have been prepared in accordance with Section 5-5 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act (Verdipapirhandelloven) and the accompanying Regulation on European Single Electronic Format (ESEF). In our opinion, the financial statements have been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the requirements of ESEF.
Management is responsible for preparing, tagging and publishing the financial statements in the single electronic reporting format required in ESEF. This responsibility comprises an adequate process and the internal control procedures which management determines is necessary for the preparation, tagging and publication of the financial statements.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on whether the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with ESEF. We conducted our work in accordance with the International Standard for Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 – "Assurance engagements other than audits or reviews of historical financial information". The standard requires us to plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance that the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the European Single Electronic Format.
As part of our work, we performed procedures to obtain an understanding of the company's processes for preparing its financial statements in the European Single Electronic Format. We evaluated the completeness and accuracy of the iXBRL tagging and assessed management's use of judgement. Our work comprised reconciliation of the financial statements tagged under the European Single Electronic Format with the audited financial statements in humanreadable format. We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Entra's financial information is prepared in accordance with the international financial reporting standards (IFRS). In addition, the company reports alternative performance measures (APMs) that are regularly reviewed by management to enhance the understanding of Entra's performance as a supplement, but not as a substitute, to the financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. Financial APMs are intended to enhance comparability of the results and cash flows from period to period, and it is Entra's experience that these are frequently used by analysts, investors and other parties. The financial APMs reported by Entra are the APMs that, in management's view, provide the most relevant supplemental information of a real estate company's financial position and performance. These measures are adjusted IFRS measures defined, calculated and used in a consistent and transparent manner over the years. Operational measures such as, but not limited to, net letting, vacancy and WAULT are not defined as financial APMs according to ESMA's guidelines.

EPRA Earnings is a measure of the operational performance of the property portfolio. EPRA Earnings is calculated based on the income statement, adjusted for non-controlling interests, value changes on investment properties, changes in the market value of financial instruments and gains/losses on the sale of properties and the associated tax effects.

1) Excluding non-controlling interests in relation to EPRA adjustments..
Net Asset Value (NAV) is the total equity that the company manages for its owners. Net asset value can be calculated in different ways, where the difference mainly is explained by the expected turnover of the property portfolio. Entra presents the three NAV metrics introduced in the Best Practices Recommendations Guidelines released in October 2019; EPRA NRV, EPRA NTA and EPRA NDV; which has replaced the previous NAV metrics EPRA NAV and EPRA NNNAV.
The objective of the EPRA NRV measure is to highlight the value of net assets on a long-term basis and assumes that no selling of assets takes place. Assets and liabilities that are not expected to crystallise in normal circumstances such as the fair value movements on financial derivatives and deferred taxes on property valuation surpluses are therefore excluded. Real estate transfer taxes are generally not levied on property transactions in Norway, and such taxes are accordingly not included in Entra's valuation certificates. Consequently, no adjustment is done for real estate transfer taxes in Entra's calculation of EPRA NRV.

1) In January 2021, Entra acquired the property Lagårdsveien 6 for an option price lower than the fair market value. The difference between the option price and the fair market value was included in NAV at fair value at 31.12.20, adjusted for transaction fees and the carrying amount of the option. The property is included in investment properties measured at fair value from 2021.
The EPRA NTA is focused on reflecting a company's tangible assets and assumes that entities buy and sell assets, thereby crystallising certain levels of unavoidable deferred tax liability. Entra has adopted second option in the EPRA BPR guidelines to adjust for deferred tax, estimating the real tax liability based how the company has completed property transactions in recent years.

The Group's estimated real deferred tax liability related to temporary differences of properties has been calculated to 1.2 per cent of the based on a discount rate of 5.0 per cent and the assumption that 50 per cent of the property portfolio are realized over 50 years in transactions structured as sale of properties in corporate wrappers, with an average tax discount of 6.5 per cent. Further, the real tax liability related to the gains/losses account is estimated by assuming an amortisation of 20 per cent annually and a discount rate of 5.0 per cent.

The EPRA NDV measure provides readers of financial reports with a scenario where deferred tax, financial instruments, and certain other adjustments are calculated as to the full extent of their liability. This enables readers of financial reports to understand the full extent of liabilities and resulting shareholder value under an orderly sale of business and/or if liabilities are not held until maturity. The measure should not be viewed as a "liquidation NAV" for Entra, as fair values may not represent liquidation values, and as an immediate realization of Entra's assets may be structured as sale of property-owning companies, resulting in the deferred tax liabilities only partially crystallising.

EPRA Net Initial Yield (NIY) measures the annualised rental income based on the cash rents passing at the balance sheet date, less non-recoverable property operating expenses, divided by the market value of the property, increased with (estimated) purchasers' costs.
EPRA "topped-up" NIY incorporates an adjustment to the EPRA NIY in respect of the expiration of rent-free periods (or other unexpired lease incentives such as discounted rent periods and step rents).

Entra reports on its energy, GHG emissions, water, waste and social governance impacts in accordance with the EPRA Sustainability Best Practice Recommendations (sBPR). This common reporting standard is a framework developed by property companies to promote transparency in sustainability reporting. To give our stakeholders greater confidence, this report has been independently assured by Deloitte based on the international standard ISAE 3000 "Assurance Engagements other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information".
Entra reports on asset-level sustainability impacts for assets within the management portfolio over which it has full operational control. This boundary coincides with the Group organizational structure as determined for financial reporting purposes and excludes assets under construction or in redevelopment. We do not report data for single-let properties as we have no management control of these properties and are unable to collect utilities data. For the reporting year 2021 this is only one property. The environmental reporting period corresponds to the period from 1 January to 31 December.
For each asset-level performance measure, Entra discloses the number of properties reported on out of the total number of management properties in the Group portfolio. Entra does not presently have data collection on each asset-level performance measure for every asset within the organizational boundary but aims to increase the data coverage going forward as it creates conditions for proper efficient technical management in our buildings.
Like-for-like performance measures include properties consistently in operation during the two most recent full reporting years and exclude asset acquisitions, disposals, major refurbishments and developments as well as fully vacant properties. Like-for-like performance measures also exclude assets with changes in the level of data coverage between the two reporting periods where the missing data cannot be reliably estimated.
In general estimation of missing data for partially unavailable or unreliable utility consumption for asset-level performance measures is carried out to a very small extent. In these cases, data for missing periods is estimated using known consumption from other periods for the metered supply in question. The proportion of estimated data is disclosed as a percentage of the total data provided for the relevant performance measure. The same method of estimation is used for all performance measures and for all assets. For 2021 there was no estimation except for HQ as described below.
Note that while there is limited estimation of waste data itself, the percentage of waste per disposal route is calculated by multiplying actual waste created by the proportion of waste solutions for each waste group. This information on waste processing is provided directly by our waste management supplier.
As information is unavailable for Entra's office space HQ only, all performance measures for Entra's headquarters (excluding electricity) are calculated based on Entra's proportionate share of actual utility data for the property where Entra is a tenant. Entra's HQ is located in Oslo.
Entra does not carry out data adjustment based on climate or occupancy rates. Variations in asset-level performance attributed to fluctuations in these factors are instead commented directly in the performance narrative, if relevant. As of 31.12.21, the portfolio occupancy was 97,8 per cent.
Entra has obtained third party assurance of its sustainability data for this reporting period. Statement from our auditors can be found on page 82-83.
Entra is responsible, as landlord, for obtaining a portion of the overall utilities consumed at the assets level. Total landlord-obtained consumption includes both utilities for common areas as well as tenant consumption sub-metered from the landlord. The remaining consumption is obtained and paid directly by the tenants. Entra has access to tenant-obtained consumption data and reports on whole building consumption for all asset-level environmental performance measures. Utilities purchased by Entra as the landlord (landlordobtained) and those directly purchased by tenants (tenantobtained) are presented separately under total consumption.
As a majority of Entra's management portfolio is utilized as office space, floor area is deemed the most appropriate denominator for asset-level performance measures. Whole building consumption is divided by Gross Leasable Area (GLA). The denominator GLA is closely aligned with the numerator as total consumption includes tenant-obtained utilities and is also consistent with the areas disclosed in Entra's financial reporting.
For absolute intensities, Entra either includes pre-existing data or pro-rates consumption up to the full year for properties entering or exiting the management portfolio during the reporting period. This removes the mismatch between the collected consumption data in the numerator and GLA as the denominator for more comparable absolute intensities.
Number of hours/days worked is used as the denominator when calculating health and safety performance measures.
Segmental reporting and analysis by geography or property type does not grant significantly greater insight into asset-level performance measures. As presented in its financial reports, Entra's management portfolio contains mainly office properties within Oslo, Norway and other regional cities, of which Oslo represents the majority location of portfolio value.
Entra discloses the environmental impact of its own occupation separately within its sustainability reporting. As Entra is a tenant at a property within its own management portfolio, this data is also included in the total portfolio consumption. Please refer to the paragraph on estimation for a note concerning the calculation of data for Entra's headquarters.
The following provides a short commentary on the asset-level performance indicators for Entra's management portfolio and headquarters for 2021. For an outline on our plans for managing future performance please refer to the ESG section page 42-59.
2021 was yet a challenging year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Just before summer it all seemed brighter, and the Norwegian government removed all restrictions in Sept 2021. In December lock-down was introduced again due to a new virus. 2021 was a year where the Government still was encouraging employees to work from home if possible and avoid using public transportation - especially in the biggest cities. We have no concrete measures on how many people that have worked from an Entra office building in 2021 as we do not count people entering security gates. Nevertheless, we know that utilizations are directly correlated with the number of people in the building, and that activity in the office buildings throughout the year has been reduced compared to before the pandemic. Still, we see that the activity in our office building was higher in 2021 compared to 2020.
Entra's focus on improving energy efficiency has given results over the past 10 years, not only through concrete measures such as replacing central environment operation control systems and improving the zoning control of outdoor environments but also by generally optimizing the management of its properties. In 2021, absolute electricity consumption across the 67 managed assets with available data, totaled 85,748 MWh, a 5 per cent increase from 2020. Measured as like-for-like, the increase was 7 per cent. Landlord-obtained consumption amounted to 62,440 MWh, of which 2.1 per cent came from renewable resources (four buildings). Entra aims to increase this proportion by extending its green energy consumption through solar panels, wind and hydropower.
Absolute district heating and cooling consumption across the 51 managed assets totaled 47,298 MWh, a like-for-like increase of 25 per cent compared with 2020. This is mainly explained by the need of ventilation and tuned indoor temperature because of
more employees was physically in the office buildings during 2021 compared to 2020. Landlord-obtained consumption amounted to 42,754 MWh.
In 2021 there was one property with fuels consumption of 119 MWh. This is a school building that uses fuels to help heating systems in periods with cold weather, which was the case in the beginning of 2021.There was no use of fuels in 2020. Entra is currently working towards phasing out fossil fuel consumption within its portfolio and will removed all oil boilers.
Building energy intensity across the 64 management properties in our portfolio with like-for-like performance data was 131 kWh per square meter in 2021, up by 6 per cent in comparison with 2020.
Greenhouse gas intensity from building energy across the same assets fell to 3.97 kg CO2 e per square meter, a drop of 5 per cent compared with 2020. This decrease is mainly explained by reduction in emission factor because the Nordic Mix has become greener, and energy efficient new built project now are included in Like-for-Like calculations.
GHG emissions presented in the EPRA table are based on local-based and market-based emission factors for electricity. If calculated using market-based emission factor for electricity, the GHG emission from electricity is about 11,376 tones CO2 -e in 2021.
100 per cent of water consumption comes from municipal water supplies sources. Absolute water consumption across the 66 managed assets with available data in 2021 was 153,369 m3 compared with 156,699 m3 in 2020. On a like-for-like basis, total water consumption decreased by 5 per cent. Building water intensity across the 63 assets with like-for-like performance data was 0.15 m3 per square meter in 2021, a 6 per cent decrease from 2020.
In 2021, Absolute waste creation across the 61 managed assets with available data was 2,543 tons. Compared with 2,501 tons in 2020 this was an increase of 2 per cent. Like-for-like decreased with 3 per cent from 2,378 tons in 2020 to 2,306 tons in 2021. Entra continuously works towards greater coverage of waste created by tenants who have waste groups managed independently of Entra's waste monitoring system.
Entra's electricity consumption at its headquarters totaled 138,742 kWh in 2021, a 31 per cent increase compared to 106,281 kWh in 2020. In 2020 there was very little activity in the building due to Covid-19 restrictions and there has been some more employees at work in our buildings during 2021 with a direct effect on the amount of lighting and ventilation needed.
Entra's pro-rated share of district heating and cooling increased by 38 per cent from 60,363 kWh in 2020 to 83,569 kWh in 2020.
The property at which Entra is a tenant does not have fuels as an energy source.
Energy intensity for Entra's headquarters was 79 kWh per square meter in 2021, up by 33 per cent in comparison with 2020. Greenhouse gas intensity from energy ended at 2.64 kg CO2 e per square meter in 2021 compared to 2.15 in 2020. This is mainly explained by increased energy consumption.
Entra's proportionate share of water consumption in 2021 was 308 m3 compared with 384 m3 in 2020. This 20 per cent decrease is a directly consequence of home office and Covid-19. Building water intensity was 0.11 m3 per square meter in 2021, compared to 0.14 m3 per square meter in 2020.
Entra's proportionate share of total waste created decreased by 16 per cent from 12,2 tonnes in 2020 to 10,3 tons in 2021. Most of this decrease directly reflects the activity at HQ due to Covid-19 and home office (effect on paper, food waste and waste to incineration).
Diversity-employee gender is calculated as a percentage of female to men. In 2021 Entra made changes in the organizational structure resulting the female shares of Senior executives in 2021 was 29 per cent compared to 43 per cent in 2020. Diversity pay gender ratio is calculated woman to men.
Employee turnover over the past years have been stable. In 2021 Entra completed organizational changes which resulted in somewhat higher turnover. In 2021, 17 people started working in Entra and 26 people left the company. New hire rates are calculated based on people started in Entra divided on the number of employees by the end of 2021. Turnover rate is calculated based on people that left Entra divided on the number of employees by the end of 2021.
There've been zero injury on direct employees involving sick leave absence in our construction projects in 2021, and in 2021 two smaller incidents without sick leave related to management portfolio.
The Injury rate, Lost day rate and Accident severity rate are all calculated per 1,000,000 hours worked.
Entra reports the entirety of the EPRA Sustainability Performance Measures in its Sustainability Report, including a comprehensive EPRA sBPR table that uses the performance measure codes.
Entra reports both absolute and like-for-like performance measures for the two most recent years but may choose to report performance measures over a longer period in the future should this provide meaningful data.
Entra has not conducted a materiality review for the EPRA performance indicators as we consider all the sustainability performance measures in the EPRA table to be material.
