Rental income

Rental income was up 2 per cent from 577 million in Q3 2019 to 589 million in Q3 2020 and 1 per cent from 1,743 million to 1,763 million for the first nine months of 2020. 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. The underlying changes in rental income can be explained by the factors in the below income bridge.

Net contribution from development projects was negative 3 million in the quarter compared to the same quarter last year. During the last 12 months, Entra has finalised the redevelopment project in Tullinkvartalet as well as three newbuild projects, Brattørkaia 12, Powerhouse Brattørkaia and Holtermanns veg 1-13, in Trondheim. However, during the year the properties Kongens gate 87 in Trondheim and Tordenskjolds gate 12, Schweigaards gate 15 and parts of Stenersgata 1-3 in Oslo have been vacated and are awaiting redevelopment.

The acquisition of Møllendalsveien 6-8 in Bergen in December 2019 contributed with 6 million per quarter compared to last year, whereas divestment of two properties in Oslo during 2019 has reduced the rental income by 8 million per quarter.

Compared to last year, rental income has been positively affected by an underlying like-for-like growth of 3.4 per cent (17 million) for the quarter and 2.3 per cent (36 million) for the first nine months. The annual indexation of the lease contracts constituted 1.6 per cent. 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.

The first nine months of 2019 includes an extraordinary lease buy-out of 12 million.

Average 12 months rolling rent per square meter was 2,157 (2,007) as of 30.09.20. 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 130 basis points to 97.4 per cent. The market rental income of vacant space as of 30.09.20 was approximately 62 million on an annualised basis.

QUARTERLY NET LETTING

Gross letting, including re-negotiated contracts, was 71 million in the quarter of which 13 million is attributable to letting in the project portfolio. Lease contracts with an annual lease of 12 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 7 million (6 million) in the quarter. The timing difference between net letting in the

RENTAL INCOME DEVELOPMENT

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.

The graph above shows the estimated development of contracted rental income based on all reported events, including income effect from divestments and acquisitions, 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.

The 14 million increase in letting and property administration costs year to date 2020 is mainly related to an increase in expected credit losses on trade receivables due to Covid-19 accrued for in the second quarter, including increased uncertainty on the collectability of certain older receivables.

As a consequence of the effects explained above, net operating income came in at 543 million (530 million) in the quarter.

Other revenue and other costs

Other revenues were 31 million (100 million) in the quarter and other costs were 20 million (90 million).

Net realised financials

Net realised financials have decreased in the third quarter of 2020 mainly as a result of lower average Nibor interest rates on floating rate debt.

Net income and net income from property management

Net income came in at 435 million (429 million) in the quarter. When including only the income from property management in the results from JVs, net income from property management for the Group was 383 million (360 million). This represents an increase of 6 per cent. For calculation of Net income from property management, see the section Alternative performance measures.

NET INCOME FROM PROPERTY MANAGEMENT PER SHARE

(Annualised, rolling 4 quarters)

Value changes

Net value changes amounted to 918 million (471 million) in the quarter.

The valuation of the property portfolio resulted in a net positive value change of 892 million (483 million) in the quarter. About 660 million of the total value changes is attributable to yield effects, primarily in the central parts of Oslo, Trondheim and Drammen. About 215 million is a net result of new and terminated lease contracts in the quarter. In the project portfolio, about 16 million relates to ongoing projects, mainly explained by new lease contracts signed in the period and reduced risk as each project is moving towards completion. The net effect of market rents is negligible in the quarter.

Net changes in value of financial instruments was 26 million (-12 million) in the quarter. The positive value change in the quarter is mainly due to reduced time to maturity on interest rate swaps on existing fixed rate debt.

Tax

Tax payable of 3 million (3 million) in the quarter is related to the partly owned entity Papirbredden in Drammen. The change in deferred tax was -283 million (-174 million).

The Group, except for certain partly owned companies with marginal tax effect, is currently not in a tax payable position due to tax loss carry forward. At year-end 2019, the tax loss carry forward for the Group's wholly-owned subsidiaries was 68 million (321 million).

Profit

Profit before tax was 1,354 million (900 million) in the quarter. Profit after tax was 1,068 million (723 million), which also equals the comprehensive income for the period.

EPRA Earnings

EPRA Earnings amounted to 276 million (261 million) in the third quarter of 2020. Refer to pages 27-28 for further details.

Balance sheet

The Group's assets amounted to 54,441 million (50,420 million) as at 30.09.20. Of this, investment properties amounted to 51,965 million (46,944 million).

Inventory properties of 418 million (413 million) at the end of the quarter relates to the properties in the Bryn portfolio expected to be zoned for residential development and subsequently sold to a third party at a predetermined price.

Other receivables and other current assets was 300 million (826 million) at the end of the quarter. The 2019 amount included contract assets related to the forward-sold asset Tollbugata 1A, which was delivered to the buyer in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Other non-current liabilities was 495 million (597 million) at the end of the quarter. The decrease is mainly related to the derecognition of a provision for the contract obligation assumed from the University of Oslo for the remaining lease period at St. Olavs plass 5, following the acquisition of the property in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Book equity totalled 25,442 million (23,555 million). EPRA has revised its Best Practices Recommendations for the calculation of NAV. EPRA NAV and EPRA NNNAV are replaced by three new metrics: EPRA NRV, EPRA NTA and EPRA NDV. Entra presents all five NAV metrics in the third quarter of 2020. EPRA NAV per share was 160 (147) as at 30.09.20, EPRA NNNAV 147 (137), EPRA NRV 162 (150), EPRA NTA 161 (149) and EPRA NDV 128 (120). Refer to pages 28-30 for further details.

Cash flow statement

Net cash flow from operating activities came in at 561 million (392 million) in the quarter. The increase mainly relates to working capital movements.

The net cash flow from investment activities was -505 million (-235 million) in the quarter, mainly driven by the cash effect from investment in and upgrades of investment properties of -367 million (-252 million) and payment of the settlement regarding the purchase option for Munchs gate 4/Keysers gate 13.

Net cash flow from financing acitivites was -12 million (-20 million) in the quarter. During the quarter, Entra had a decrease in bond financing of 200 million and an increase in bank financing of 190 million.

The net change in cash and cash equivalents was 44 million (137 million) in the quarter.

Financing

During the third quarter, Entra's gross interest bearing nominal debt decreased by 10 million to 20,682 million. The change in interest bearing debt comprised a decrease in bond financing of 200 million and an increase in bank financing of 190 million.

In the quarter, Entra re-opened an existing seven-year green bond loan with 500 million and has refinanced commercial paper loans of 400 million.

Further, the weighted average maturity of Entra's bank facilities have been extended in the quarter by using extension options in the loan agreements. Bank facilities with a total volume of 8,250 million have thus been extended, bringing the weighted average maturity for these facilities up to 4.4 years as of 30.09.2020 (2.9 years as of 30.06.2020). During the quarter, the partly-owned subsidiary Hinna Park Eiendom AS established extension options in its loan agreement and has extended its bank term loan of 728 million from short-term debt as of 30.06.2020 to a new three-year maturity.

As of 30.09.20, net nominal interest bearing debt after deduction of liquid assets of 302 million (350 million) was 20,380 million (19,071 million).

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, 71 per cent (70 per cent) of the Group's financing came from debt capital markets

The property portfolio

Entra's management portfolio consists of 75 properties with a total area of approximately 1.1 million square meters. As of 30.09.20, the management portfolio had a market value of 45.3 billion. The occupancy rate was 97.4 per cent (96.1 per cent). The weighted average lease term for the Group's leases was 6.9 years (6.2) for the management portfolio and 6.9 years (6.9) when the project portfolio is included. For the management portfolio, the public sector represents approximately 59 per cent of the total rental income. The entire property portfolio consists of 90 properties with a market value of 51.8 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 stable at 4.8 per cent. 12 months rolling rent per square meter increased from 2,007 to 2,157 mainly driven by properties that are vacated and classified to the project portfolio as they are awaiting redevelopment.

The market rent has increased by 2.4 per cent, from 2,196 to 2,249 per square meter.

Net letting was 7 million in the quarter. Net letting is calculated as the

annualised rent of new lease contracts plus lease-up on renegotiated contracts less terminated contracts.

Market development

The Norwegian transaction market came close to a stand-still during the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in March/April. However, the market has improved substantially during Q2 and Q3 as the country has re-opened and Norway's central bank has reduced the policy rate by 1.5 per cent to 0 per cent. The current market is active, and both national and international investors report increased interest as the yield gap has become more attractive. According to Entra's consensus report, total transaction volume is expected to come in at a normalised level of 85 billion for 2020 as a whole.

The financing market continue to be well functioning, particularly for solid counterparties like Entra. Yields are under downward pressure and the Oslo prime yield is now estimated to be 3.5 per cent according to Entra consensus report, down 10-20 basis points since the second quarter. Lower risk investments seem to be in favour and centrally located properties with low counterparty risk are seeing significant yield compression. During the last quarter, prime assets in Oslo have been sold at yields lower than 3.2 per cent.

Market data Oslo

According to Entra consensus report, the office vacancy is expected to increase from 5-6 per cent to more normalised levels at around 7-8 per cent. The expected increase is mainly driven by lower economic activity combined with some large projects being finalised in the Eastern Oslo fringe area over the next couple of years. As a consequence, market rents are expected to drop by 3-4 per cent according to Entra's consensus report. In the city centre of Oslo, the vacancy was only 3-4 per cent prior to the Covid-19 outbreak, and new supply is fairly limited also going forward. The letting activity has picked up during Q2 and Q3, and modern, centrally located office premises continue to be attractive also in the current market environment.

In Bergen, the office vacancy is currently around eight 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 11 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, affecting society as a whole. Vacancy is currently around 11 per cent and there is downward pressure on rent levels in the main oil and gas intensive areas. In the city centre, the vacancy is low, and there is an increasing demand for modern, flexible and centrally located office premises and rent levels appears to hold up well.

Organisation and HSE

At 30.09.20 the Group had 181 (176) employees.

In Q3 2020, Entra had no injuries with long term absence from work in the ongoing projects. Entra has a continuous HSE focus both in on-going projects and in the operations and works continually to avoid injuries. Entra had an LTIF rate (number of accidents with lost time per million hours worked in last 12 months) on ongoing projects of 4.8 at the end of the third quarter 2020 (2.0 at the end of the third quarter 2019).

Risk management

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 28-33 in the 2019 annual report.

The main risk factors described in the annual report does not include an evaluation of a pandemic. Depending on the length of crisis and the potential impact of a second wave of the pandemic, and the strength and effect of the government interventions, the Covid-19 or similar situations may have adverse effects on Entra's business. Entra has a strong tenant base with a seven-year WAULT with a solid backbone of highquality tenants, including public tenants comprising 59 per cent of revenue. Less than 10 per cent of Entra's rental income stems from industries that are most affected by the current situation, and the effect on Entra's revenues in year to date 2020 have been negligible. Entra continuously work on risk reducing measures in the portfolio, including rent levels, lease lengths, counter party risk, occupancy ratio, and the overall quality of the portfolio. Entra further maintains a diversified financing structure with a balanced maturity profile and financing mix in order to ensure stable and predictable access to capital.

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.

On 12 October 2020, Entra paid out a semi-annual dividend of NOK 2.40 per share. The share was traded ex right to receive the dividend from 2 October 2020.

Outlook

Entra's tenant base is strong with almost seven-year WAULT and a solid backbone of public tenants, comprising 59 per cent of revenues, as well as limited exposure to industries most affected by the Covid-19 situation. Further, the oil and gas price levels justify continued activity for the oil and gas industry, which is an important part of Norway's export industry. Regardless, Entra's direct exposure to oil and gas is limited with only around two per cent of total revenues through a fully consolidated 50/50 joint venture.

The yield gap in Norway has increased significantly during recent months following reduced interest rates. The transaction market is very strong, and we have experienced a downward pressure on prime yields in the quarter. We expect that this will benefit the valuations of Entra's assets also going forward.

Well into the Covid-19 crisis, it is still difficult to assess the overall impact on the global and Norwegian economy and the longer-term implications for the commercial real estate sector. We have, however, somewhat more clarity about the slowdown in economic activity and the cascading impact of supply-anddemand shocks propagating through the system. With solid infrastructure and a strong public funding, including the Government Pension Fund Global, Norway has the fundamentals in place for a recovery. The situation is nevertheless being carefully monitored.

The Norwegian office market seems to be less affected than in larger cities in most other countries. This is primarily driven by smaller cities with relatively short distances between home and office enabling commute by bike or by foot, enough office space per employee to safeguard individuals, and smaller office buildings with relatively better elevator and stairway capacity to safely bring people into the office.

We believe that the negative effect stemming from Covid-19 to a large extent will be offset by specific factors in the Norwegian market. The value of social interaction in the office is

underpinned by recent empirical research about the importance of the office as a key contributor to employee, and thus also company, productivity and growth. As such, we expect higher tenants' demand for more flexibility and somewhat changed modus operandi for many office users going forward, but we do not believe that the effect for Entra will be material.

Entra's financial position is strong, and has been further strengthened during the quarter, with a well staggered debt maturity profile, a diversified financing mix, and cash and unutilized credit facilities of 7.2 billion, almost three times all debt falling due next 12 months. We have strong relationships and continuous dialogues with our five banks, and we assess that the bank market is open and supportive to our funding needs. During the third quarter, the debt capital markets continued to become more attractive with increased liquidity and contraction of credit spreads. Capitalising on this favourable development, we have in the quarter tapped another 0.5 billion in a green bond and extended 8.3 billion of bank facilities. Entra has also ample headroom to financial covenants, which are Loan-to-value of 75 per cent (39.5 per cent as of Q3) and Interest coverage ratio of 1.4 (3.7 as of Q3).

Uncertainty will prevail also in the months to come. Going forward, the office market will experience changes in workplace strategies and office layouts to accommodate a more mobile and digital way of working. Entra manages modern, flexible and environmentally friendly assets located in attractive 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.

NOTE 1 – ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

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 2019.

ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES

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.

A. EPRA EARNINGS

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 properties for sale and is not considered relevant for measurement of the underlying operating performance of the property portfolio under management.

B. EPRA NET ASSET VALUE METRICS

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. In 2003, EPRA introduced its Best Practices Recommendations (BPR) guidelines for calculating NAV, with two NAV metrics: EPRA NAV and EPRA NNNAV. Since the introduction of EPRA NAV and EPRA NNNAV, European real estate companies have evolved into actively managed entities, including non-property operating activities, which has resulted in more active ownership, higher asset turnover, and balance sheet financing has shifted from traditional bank lending into capital markets. In the BPR guidelines released in October 2019, EPRA introduced three new Net Asset Value metrics: EPRA Net Reinstatement Value (NRV), EPRA Net Tangible Assets (NTA) and EPRA Net Disposal Value (NDV). Entra presents all five Net Asset Value metrics for the third quarter of 2020.

EPRA NAV AND EPRA NNNAV

The objective with EPRA NAV is to demonstrate the fair value of net assets given a long-term investment horizon. EPRA NAV is calculated as net asset value adjusted to include market value of all properties in the portfolio, and to exclude certain items not expected to crystallise in a long-term investment property business model such as e.g. financial derivatives and deferred tax on the market value of investment properties.

The objective with EPRA NNNAV is to report the fair value of net assets in the Group on the basis that these are immediately realised.

1) The market value of interest bearing debt was in the report for Q4 2019 reported as 19,910 million, resulting in a reported EPRA NNNAV of 25,901 million (142 per share). The calculation of EPRA NNNAV for Q4 2019 was updated from the 2019 annual report.

EPRA NET REINSTATEMENT VALUE (NRV)

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) The EPRA NRV as at 31.12.19 was in the quarterly reports for the first and second quarters of 2020 reported as 28,458 million (NOK 156 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 31.12.19.

EPRA NET TANGIBLE ASSETS (NTA)

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.

EPRA NET DISPOSAL VALUE (NDV)

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.

C. EPRA NET INTIAL YIELD

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).
