2) Entra pays semi-annual dividends. Dividend for 2020 constitute dividend approved and paid for the first half of 2020 and proposed dividend for the second half of 2020.
Rental income was 591 million in the first quarter of 2021. Despite significant contribution from finalised projects, the top line growth is currently relatively flat as several of Entra's large assets has been vacated and prepared for redevelopment over the last 12 months. Rental income has only to a very limited extent been impacted by Covid-19. The underlying changes in rental income can be explained by the factors in the income bridge below.
| All amounts in NOK million | Q1-20 Q1-21 |
|---|---|
| Rental income previous period | 587 |
| Development projects | -20 |
| Acquisitions | 3 |
| Divestments | -1 |
| CPI growth | 4 |
| Like-for-like growth above CPI | 14 |
| Other | 3 |
| Rental income | 591 |
Net contribution from development projects was negative 20 million in the quarter compared to the same quarter last year. During the last 12 months, Entra has vacated the following properties awaiting redevelopment: Parts of Stenersgata 1 and St. Olavs plass 5 in Oslo, Møllendalsveien 6-8 in Bergen, Kongens gate 87 in Trondheim and parts of Grønland 32 in Drammen. However, Holtermanns veg 1-13 phase 1 was finalised during Q1 2020 and has a positive contribution of 4 million on rental income compared to the same quarter last year.
The acquisition of Lagårdsveien 6 in Stavanger and Hagegata 27 in Oslo contributed with rental income of 3 million compared to the same quarter last year, whereas divestment of Tollbodallmenningen 2A in February 2021 reduced rental income by 1 million.
Compared to Q1 last year, rental income has been positively affected by an underlying like-for-like growth of 3.1 per cent (18 million), of which the underlying CPI adjustment was 0.7 per cent (4 million). Near all of Entra's lease contracts are 100 per cent linked to positive changes in CPI. The annual adjustment is mostly made on a November to November basis.
Other effects stems from an administrative premium of 3 million per quarter during 2021.
Average 12 months rolling rent per square meter was 2,180 (2,134) as of 31.03.21. The increase is mainly a result of reclassification to the project portfolio of the properties that have been vacated and are awaiting redevelopment.

Compared to the same quarter last year, the occupancy rate went up by 70 basis points to 98.1 per cent. The market rental income of vacant space as of 31.03.21 was approximately 47 million on an annualised basis.

Gross letting, including re-negotiated contracts, was 57 million in the quarter of which 15 million is attributable to letting in the project portfolio. Lease contracts with an annual lease of 1 million were terminated in the quarter. Net letting, defined as new lease contracts plus lease-up on renegotiated contracts less terminated contracts, came in at 18 million (15 million) in the quarter. The timing difference between net letting in the
management portfolio in the quarter and its effect on the financial results is normally 6-12 months, while new contracts signed in the project portfolio tend to have an even later impact on the results. Please see the project development section for further information regarding project completion.

The graph above shows the estimated development of contracted rental income based on all reported events, including income effect from acquisitions and divestments, development projects, net letting based on new and terminated contracts in the management portfolio, and other effects such as estimated CPI adjustments. It does not reflect any letting targets on the vacant areas in the portfolio or on contracts that will expire, but where the outcome of any renegotiation process is not known, i.e. not yet reported in "Net letting". The graph therefore does not constitute a forecast, but rather aims to demonstrate the rental income trend in the existing contract portfolio on the balance sheet date based on all reported events.
Total operating costs amounted to 51 million (42 million) in the quarter and is split as follows:
| All amounts in NOK million | Q1-21 | Q1-20 |
|---|---|---|
| Maintenance | 8 | 5 |
| Tax, leasehold, insurance | 14 | 12 |
| Letting and prop. adm. | 17 | 15 |
| Direct property costs | 13 | 11 |
| Operating costs | 51 | 42 |
As a consequence of the effects explained above, net operating income came in at 539 million (545 million) in the quarter.
Other revenues were 16 million (18 million) in the quarter and other costs were 10 million (9 million). Other revenue 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 costs amounted to 49 million (50 million) in the quarter and includes advisory fees of 3 million due to the strategic interest in Entra.
| Share of profit from associates and JVs | 40 | 38 |
|---|---|---|
| Other income and costs | 40 | 38 |
| Income from property management | 0 | 1 |
| All amounts in NOK million | Q1-21 | Q1-20 |
Other income and costs from associates and JVs in the quarter mainly relates to the gains from the completion and delivery of residential apartments in Bjørvika in Oslo. Please see the section Partly owned companies for a detailed breakdown of the results from associates and JVs.
| Net realised financials | -127 | -148 |
|---|---|---|
| Interest and other finance expense | -128 | -151 |
| Interest and other finance income | 1 | 3 |
| All amounts in NOK million | Q1-21 | Q1-20 |
Net realised financials have decreased in the first quarter of 2021 mainly as a result of lower average Nibor interest rates on floating rate debt.
Net income came in at 410 million (394 million) in the quarter. When including only the income from property management from the results from associates and JVs, net income from property management for the Group was 370 million (357 million). This represents an increase of 4 per cent. For calculation of Net income from property management, see the section Alternative performance measures.
(Annualised, rolling 4 quarters)

Net value changes amounted to 880 million (-337 million) in the quarter.
The valuation of the property portfolio resulted in net positive value changes of 781 million (nil) in the quarter. The first quarter of 2020 was impacted by the material valuation uncertainty due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, and Entra chose not to recognise value change in that quarter.
266 million of the total value changes in the first quarter of 2021 relates to ongoing projects, mainly explained by reduced risk as each project is moving towards completion in combination with improved market conditions. Transactions contributed with 174 million as Entra exercised the purchase option on the property Lagårdsveien 6 in Stavanger and
divested Tollbodallmenningen 2A in Bergen. 160 million is related to yield effects, and 114 million is attributable to increased markets rents, primarily in Oslo, Bergen and Stavanger. About 61 million is a result of new contracts signed in the quarter partly offset by effects from terminated contracts. The remaining 7 million stems from other property related changes.
Net changes in value of financial instruments was 99 million (-337 million) in the quarter. The positive value change in the quarter is mainly explained by higher long-term interest rates.
Tax payable of 4 million (3 million) in the quarter is related to the partly owned entity Papirbredden in Drammen. The change in deferred tax was -264 million (-2 million) in the quarter.
Profit before tax was 1,290 million (58 million) in the quarter. Profit after tax was 1,022 million (52 million), which also equals the comprehensive income after tax.

Net cash flow from operating activities came in at 380 million (483 million) in the quarter. The decrease mainly relates to working capital movements.
The net cash flow from investment activities was -501 million (-432 million) in the quarter, mainly driven by the cash effect from investment in and upgrades of investment properties of 392 million (412 million) and the acquisition of Lagårdsveien 6 in Stavanger. Proceeds from property transactions in the quarter is related to Tollbodallmenningen 2A in Bergen.
Net cash flow from financing acitivites was 128 million (-107 million) in the quarter, mainly driven by an increase in bank financing of 130 million.
The net change in cash and cash equivalents was 7 million (-57 million) in the quarter.
During the first quarter, Entra's nominal interest bearing debt increased by 130 million to 21,276 million. The change in interest bearing debt came from an increase in bank financing. In addition, Entra refinanced commercial paper loans of 400 million in the quarter.
As of 31.03.21, net nominal interest bearing debt after deduction of liquid assets of 223 million (260 million) was 21,053 million (19,535 million).
The average remaining term for the Group's debt portfolio was 5.0 years at 31.03.21 (4.8 years as of 31.03.20, 5.4 years as of 31.12.20). The calculation takes into account that available long-term credit facilities can replace short-term debt.
Entra's financing is mainly based on negative pledge of the Group's assets, which enables a broad and flexible financing mix. Entra's financing structure includes bank loans, bonds and commercial papers. At the end of the period, 72 per cent (69 per cent) of the Group's financing came from debt capital markets.

Entra's management portfolio consists of 74 properties with a total area of approximately 1.1 million square meters. As of 31.03.21, the management portfolio had a market value of 49.3 billion. The occupancy rate was 98.1 per cent (97.4 per cent). The weighted average lease term for the Group's leases was 6.7 years (6.9) for the management portfolio and 6.9 years (7.0) when the project portfolio is included. For the management portfolio, the public sector represents approximately 58 per cent of the total rental income. The entire property portfolio consists of 91 properties with a market value of 58 billion.
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 appraisers' valuation. 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
appraiser's estimated return requirements and expectations on future market development.
The market value is defined as the external appraiser's estimated transaction value of the individual properties on valuation date. The project portfolio is valued based on the same principles, but with deduction for remaining investments and perceived risk as of valuation date. The land and development portfolio is valued based on actually zoned land.
Year-on-year, the portfolio net yield is reduced from 4.93 to 4.40 per cent. 12 months rolling rent per square meter increased from 2,134 to 2,180 mainly driven by properties that are vacated and classified to the project portfolio as they are awaiting redevelopment.
The market rent per square meter has increased by 1.2 per cent from the first quarter of 2020, from NOK 2,230 to 2,258.

Entra actively seeks to improve the quality of its property portfolio and focuses on acquisitions of large properties and projects in specific areas within its four core markets: Oslo and the surrounding region, Bergen, Trondheim and Stavanger. Target areas include both areas in the city centers and selected clusters and 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 acquisition 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.

Total transaction volume in 2020 came in at 111 billion. This is the second highest transaction volume ever in the Norwegian market, despite the activity being close to stand-still during the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic during the first half of 2020. The market has continued to be active with a total transaction volume of around 21 billion in Q1 2021. Both national and international investors report to be net buyers going forward. For international investors, Norway is considered robust and low-risk.
The financing market continue to be well functioning, particularly for solid counterparties like Entra. Norway's central bank reduced the policy rate by 1.5 per cent to 0 per cent during the spring of 2020 and as a result yields contracted significantly. Despite the increase in long term interest rates seen in Q1 2021, the prime yield remains at 3.30 per cent according to Entra's consensus report. The spread to regional markets has narrowed with prime yield in Bergen reaching alltime low at 3.75 per cent.

According to Entra's consensus report, the office vacancy in Oslo has increased from around 5-6 per cent to more normalized levels at around 7 per cent. It is expected to remain at 7-8 per cent for the coming two years mainly driven by lower economic activity combined with some large projects being finalised in the Eastern Oslo fringe area. Overall average market rents decreased slightly in 2020 but is expected to rise by around 4,4 per cent over the next two years. In the city centre of Oslo, the vacancy was only 3-4 per cent prior to the Covid-19 outbreak and is only marginally higher today. New supply in the city centre is fairly limited also going forward.
In Bergen, the office vacancy is currently around 8 per cent. There is limited supply of modern premises in the city centre and fairly strong demand. Rent levels in the city centre have increased over the last years, while there is a downward pressure on rents in the fringe areas.
In Trondheim, the overall office vacancy is currently around 9 per cent. Vacancy is highest in the fringe areas of the city. As in Bergen, rent levels in the city centre of Trondheim have increased over the last years, while there is a downward pressure on rents in the fringe areas.
The Stavanger area is more challenging due to the volatility in the oil and gas sector on top of the Covid-19 situation. Overall vacancy is currently around 11 per cent, and there is downward pressure on rent levels in the main oil and gas intensive areas such as Forus. In the city centre and at Hinna Park there is demand for modern, flexible and centrally located office premises, and rent levels have held up.

At 31.03.21 the Group had 186 (179) employees.
In Q1 2021, Entra had no injuries with long term absence from work in the ongoing projects. Entra has a continuous HSE focus and works continually to avoid injuries both in on-going projects and in the operations. Entra had an LTIF rate (number of accidents with lost time per million hours worked in last 12 months) on ongoing projects of 4.2 at the end of the first quarter 2021 (2.2 at the end of the first quarter 2020).
Entra assesses risk on an ongoing basis, primarily through semiannually comprehensive reviews of the Group's 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. Entra's main risk factors consist of both financial and non-financial risk. A thorough description and analysis is included on pages 28-39 in the 2020 annual report.
Entra's share capital is NOK 182,132,055 divided into 182,132,055 shares, each with a par value of NOK 1 per share. Entra has one class of shares and all shares provide equal rights, including the right to any dividends.
As of 20 April 2021, Entra had 4,777 shareholders. Norwegian investors held 27 per cent of the share capital. The 10 largest shareholders as registered in VPS on 20 April 2021 were:
| Shareholder | % holding |

The annual general meeting in Entra ASA will be held on 23 April 2021. In line with the dividend policy of distributing approximately 60 per cent of Cash Earnings, the board of Entra has proposed to distribute a semi-annual dividend of NOK 2.50 per share for the second half of 2020. The last day the share is traded including the right to receive the dividend is 23 April 2021. The dividend will be paid on or about 4 May 2021.
The Norwegian society and office market has been less affected by Covid-19 than most other countries, and Entra has proved resilient during Covid-19 with only marginal P&L impact. All of Entra's assets have been open and available for the tenants throughout the pandemic. The vaccine program in Norway is progressing, and the government is preparing for a gradual reopening of the society through Q2 2021. Both real estate investors and tenants seem to believe that the vaccination soon will bring things back to a new normal and restart the economy. In general, office rents and the interest for office products and investments is thus holding up well.
Entra owns an unparalleled portfolio of modern, efficient and large office assets on central locations in connection with public transportation hubs. The weighted average unexpired lease term (WAULT) is around seven years, and the occupancy rate is 98 per cent. The company offers investors superior cash flow visibility and quality with 58 per cent of rental income from public sector tenants with AAA credit rating.
Entra's operational platform and organisation has placed the company consistently amongst the top three performers in the annual Norwegian Tenant Index ranking of Norwegian landlords. 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.
Going forward, the office market is expected to experience changes in workplace strategies and office layouts to accommodate a more mobile and digital way of working. We expect higher tenants' demand for more flexibility and somewhat changed modus operandi for many office users. This could also provide opportunities benefitting large and professional landlords like Entra.
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 58 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 more than 50 per cent of its debt portfolio in green bonds and bank loans.
Profitable project development has historically been the company's major lever for growth, and Entra has a track record of delivering attractive newbuild and redevelopment projects with significant value creation. During 2019 and 2020, several large assets were taken out of the management portfolio for redevelopment and, as a result, top line growth was lower than in previous years. These properties are now in the process of being redeveloped, and Entra started up seven new development projects over the last two quarters. The portfolio of large, ongoing development projects currently consists of 11 assets totalling 180,000 sqm. Fully let, these projects will add net rental income of around 530 million, phased in during 2021-2024.
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. Entra will continue to actively use the balance sheet to progress the project pipeline and grow the portfolio going forward.
Entra manages modern, flexible and environmentally friendly assets located in clusters near public transportation hubs. Combined with a solid tenant base with long lease contracts, a strong financial position, and an extensive project pipeline for future growth, Entra has a proven and resilient business profile that is well positioned for the future.

The results for the period have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting principles that have been used in the preparation of the interim financial statements are in conformity with the principles used in preparation of the annual financial statements for 2020.
The financial reporting covers Entra ASA, subsidiaries, associated companies and jointly controlled entities. The interim financial statements have not been audited.
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, Project Development division and a Digitalisation and Business Development division. In addition, Entra has group and support functions within accounting, finance, legal, investment, 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").

Hence, the Group report the segment information based upon these six geographic areas.

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.

The following performance indicators have been prepared in accordance with best practices as defined by EPRA (European Public Real Estate Association) in its latest edition of the Best Practices Recommendations Guidelines. Accordingly, Entra presents only the three new NAV metrics; EPRA NRV, EPRA NTA and EPRA NDV; which has replaced the previous NAV metrics EPRA NAV and EPRA NNNAV. The EPRA Best Practices Recommendations Guidelines focus on making the financial statements of public real estate companies clearer and more comparable across Europe.

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 the associated tax effects. In addition, earnings from the jointly controlled entity OSU is adjusted for as the business of this company is development of residential properties for sale and is not considered relevant for measurement of the underlying operating performance of the property portfolio under management.

1) Excluding non-controlling interests in relation to EPRA adjustments.
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 of 126 million. Newsec, one of Entra's external appraisers, estimated the fair market value of the property to 313 million. 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 full market value of the property is included in the IFRS equity following the closing of the transaction.
2) The EPRA NRV as at 31.03.20 was in the quarterly report for the first quarter of 2020 reported as 28,835 million (NOK 158 per share). The revaluation of investments made in JVs and share of EPRA NRV attributable to non-controlling interests was revisited in the third quarter of 2020, resulting in a reduction in the EPRA NRV as at 31.03.20.
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.

1) 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 in 50 years in transactions structured as sale of companies in which the tax discount is 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 measures the annualised rental income based on the cash rents passing at the balance sheet date, less nonrecoverable property operating expenses, divided by the market value of the property, increased with (estimated) purchasers' costs.
EPRA "topped-up" net initial yield 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).
