Financial developments

Strong position in a challenging period

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Norway went into a partial lockdown from 12 March 2020. All schools were closed and everyone that could were asked to work from home. Since then Entra's top priority has been to safeguard life and health and take responsibility for helping to reduce the spread of infection by following the advice of national and local authorities. Further, the recent and sudden decline in oil and gas prices will most likely impact the Norwegian economy.

Entra's rental income and results from property management has to a limited extent been impacted by these situations in Q1 2020.

Entra is in a robust situation with a solid tenant base comprising 58 per cent public tenants. Less than 10 per cent of Entra's rental income stems from industries that are most affected by the current situation. These include companies within retail and restaurants, tourism, co-working, training centers, companies with less than 15 employees, parking as well as companies within the oil and gas sector.

Entra's financial position is strong. Currently, Entra has available cash and unutilized credit facilities amounting to 7.3 billion, more than three times all debt falling due next 12 months. The debt portfolio has a well staggered maturity profile and is diversified with a good financing mix.

Results

Rental income

Rental income was 587 million in Q1 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.

Q1-20

Divestments -9

Rental income 587

Net positive contribution from development projects was 6 million in Q1 2020 compared to Q1 2019. During the last 12 months Entra has finalised the new-build projects Powerhouse Brattørkaia, Brattørkaia 12, Holtermanns veg 1-13 and Tullinkvartalet adding a total of 29 million in annual rent. However, during the year the properties Tordenskjolds gate 12, Schweigaards gate 15 and parts of Stenersgata 1 have been vacated and are awaiting redevelopment.

The acquisition of Møllendalsveien 6-8 in Bergen contributed with 7 million compared to the same quarter last year whereas divestment of five properties in Oslo during 2019 has reduced the rental income by 9 million.

Other effects stems from the same quarter last year whereas Entra recognised an extraordinary lease buy-out related to a termination of a lease contract two years prior to expiration.

Since Q1 last year rental income has been positively affected by an underlying like-for-like growth of 2.3 per cent (12 million), of which the underlying CPI adjustment was 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.

Average 12 months rolling rent per square meter was 2,134 (2,071) as of 31.03.20. The increase mainly stems from properties vacated during the year awaiting redevelopment that have been reclassified to the project portfolio in 2020.

RENT (12M ROLLING) PER SQM AND OCCUPANCY RATE

Compared to the previous quarter, the occupancy rate went up by three basis points to 97.4 per cent. The market rental income of vacant space as of 31.03.20 was approximately 60 million on an annualised basis.

QUARTERLY NET LETTING

Gross letting, including re-negotiated contracts, was 86 million in the quarter of which 2 million is attributable to letting in the project portfolio. Lease contracts with an annual lease of 45 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 15 million (1 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 a later impact on the results.

RENTAL INCOME DEVELOPMENT

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 graph does not include potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Operating costs

Operating costs is stable from the first quarter of 2019 and is split as follows:

Net operating income

As a consequence of the effects explained above, net operating income came in at 545 million (542 million) in the quarter.

Other revenue and other costs

Other revenue was 18 million (69 million) and other costs were 9 million (60 million). Other revenue and other costs in the quarter mainly consists of 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) and from extra services provided to tenants.

In Q1 2019, 47 million of other revenue and 42 million of other costs were related to the development of Tollbugata 1A in Oslo, which was forward-sold and delivered to the buyer in the fourth quarter of 2019.

Administrative costs

Administrative costs amounted to 50 million (48 million) in the quarter. The increase in 2020 is primarily related to Entra's technology and digitalization initiatives.

Other income and costs from associates and JVs in the quarter mainly relates to the net gains from the completion and delivery of residential apartments and the recognition of income and cost related to the completion and sale of forwardsold commercial assets in Bjørvika. For a detailed breakdown

of the results from associates and JVs, see the section Partly owned companies.

All amounts in NOK million Q1-20 Q1-19

Net realised financials have increased in 2020 compared to 2019 mainly due to higher interest bearing debt and higher Nibor interest rates on floating rate debt in the quarter.

Net income and net income from property management

Net income came in at 394 million (395 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 357 million (375 million). This represents a decrease of 5 per cent, mainly due to higher net realised financials. For calculation of Net income from property management, see the section Alternative performance measures.

Value changes

Net value changes amounted to -337 million (462 million) in the quarter.

Changes in value of investment properties was nil (484 million) in the quarter.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the changes in the oil price, valuation of properties as of 31.03.20 is connected with very high uncertainty. Among the most important input factors to valuation of properties are the occupancy, market rent expectations and yield of a property, factors which Entra's two external appraisers (Akershus Eiendom/JLL and Newsec) base on observed market evidence. As the Norwegian transaction market came to a halt in March, the market evidence in the current situation is limited. The COVID-19 and oil situation may however affect future occupancy, market rent expectations and yield levels. Entra's external appraisers performed the valuation as of 31.03.20 on the market conditions without estimating the potential effects from COVID-19 and the lower oil price. Based on the valuations estimated by Entra's external appraisers as of 31.03.20, the fair value of the Entra's investment properties was 50,727 million, reflecting changes in the value of investment properties of 1,168 million due to a strong transaction and letting market in the first part of the quarter. The value changes were attributable to increased market rent, yield compression, new contracts signed in the quarter and reduced risk as the projects in the project portfolio is moving towards completion. Due to the material valuation uncertainty in the current situation, Entra has chosen to base the fair value as of 31.03.20 on the valuations obtained as of 31.12.19.

Net changes in value of financial instruments was -337 million (-22 million) in the quarter The negative value change is mainly due to a sharp reduction in market interest rates, which with a weighted average interest rate duration of 2.7 years on the debt portfolio, implies a net liability increase on interest rate derivatives of 337 million.

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 -2 million (-147 million) in the quarter.

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 58 million (857 million) in the quarter. Profit after tax was 52 million (707 million), which also equals the comprehensive income after tax.

EPRA Earnings

EPRA Earnings amounted to 259 million (266 million) in the first quarter of 2020. Refer to page 26 for further details.

Balance sheet

The Group's assets amounted to 51,789 million (48,564 million) as at 31.03.20. Of this, investment properties amounted to 49,559 million (45,837 million).

Inventory properties of 414 million (408 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.

Other receivables and other current assets was 284 million (662 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 503 million (686 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 24,551 million (22,913 million). Equity per share was 153 (144) based on the EPRA NAV standard, 142 (133) based on EPRA NNNAV and 158 (147) based on EPRA NRV. Refer to pages 27 and 28 for further details.

Cash flow statement

Net cash flow from operating activities came in at 483 million (430 million) in the quarter. The increase mainly relates to working capital movements.

The net cash flow from investment activities was -432 million (9 million) in the quarter, mainly driven by the cash effect from investment in and upgrades of investment properties of -412 million (-335 million).

Net cash flow from financing acitivites was -107 million (-326 million) in the quarter. During the quarter, Entra had an increase in bond financing of 450 million and a decrease in commercial paper and bank financing of 200 million and 356 million, respectively.

The net change in cash and cash equivalents was -57 million (113 million) in the quarter.

Financing

During the first quarter, Entra's gross interest-bearing nominal debt decreased by 106 million to 19,795 million. The change in interest bearing debt comprised a net increase in bond financing of 450 million and a decrease in commercial paper and bank financing of 200 million and 356 million, respectively.

In the quarter, Entra re-opened two existing green bond loans with a total of 645 million. In connection with a re-opening of a 4-year green bond with 195 million, a short dated bond issue was re-purchased with the same amount, contributing to an extended debt maturity profile. Further, commercial paper loans has been refinanced with 800 million.

In the first quarter, Entra secured a new revolving credit facility of 500 million with maturity 22.06.23. After the balance sheet date, Entra extended the 750 million short-term unutilised

revolving credit facility with one year, bringing the maturity for this credit facility to 31.01.22.

As of 31.03.20, net nominal interest bearing debt after deduction of liquid assets of 260 million (343 million) was 19,535 million (18,508 million).

The average remaining term for the Group's debt portfolio was 4.8 years at 31.03.20 (4.9 years). 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, 69 per cent (70 per cent) of the Group's financing came from debt capital markets.

Entra's properties are valued by two external appraisers (Akershus Eiendom/JLL and Newsec) on a quarterly basis. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the recent oil price

development, valuation of investment properties as of 31.03.20 is connected with very high uncertainty. Entra has chosen to base the fair value as of 31.03.20 on the valuations obtained as of 31.12.19. Refer to page 7 for further information.

Year-on-year, the portfolio net yield is reduced from 5.0 to 4.9 per cent. 12 months rolling rent increased from 2,071 to 2,134 mainly driven by properties that are vacated during 2019 awaiting redevelopment have been reclassified to the project portfolio in 2020.

Letting activity

During the first quarter, Entra signed new and renegotiated leases with an annual rent totalling 86 million (36,400 square metres) and received notices of termination on leases with an annual rent of 45 million (16,500 square metres). Net letting

was 15 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.

Status ongoing projects

In Tullinkvartalet in Oslo, Entra is building a new 21,900 sqm office property in Universitetsgata 7-9 in Oslo. Occupancy is currently 52 per cent. The property is expected to be finalised in Q3 2021 with high environmental ambitions and aims for a BREEAM-NOR Excellent classification.

Entra is further redeveloping the 4,300 sqm office property in Kristian Augusts gate 13. The project will demonstrate Entra's strong commitment to work for more sustainable solutions by incorporating a target of more than 60 per cent re-use of building materials. Occupancy is at 100 per cent as the property will be let to the co-working operator IWG/Spaces.

Other information

Organisation and HSE

At 31.03.20 the Group had 179 (170) employees.

In Q1 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. The Group had an LTIF rate (number of accidents with lost time per million hours worked in last 12 months) on ongoing projects of 2.2 at the end of the first quarter 2020 vs. 2.0 at the end of the fourth 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 the partial lockdown 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 high-quality tenants, including public tenants comprising 58 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. 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 is therefore robust in the current situation.

Events after the balance sheet date

On 2 April 2020, the Norwegian Government proposed a cash support package for companies affected by the COVID-19 situation intending to cover fixed costs, hereunder office rent. The cash support given will correspond to: (Turnover decline in percent) x (fixed costs minus any deductible) x (an adjustment

factor). The adjustment factor is 0.9 for companies that have been shut down by the government and 0.8 for other companies. The cash support package was approved on 17 April 2020. The cash support package is expected to at least partly mitigate the risk related to rental income from tenants most affected by the current situation.

From 20 April 2020 the Norwegian government has decided to gradually reopen the society after the partial lockdown implemented on 13 March 2020.

Outlook

Well into the COVID-19 crisis, it is still difficult to make meaningful assessments of the overall impact on the global and Norwegian economy and the commercial real estate sector. The recent weeks have, however, brought somewhat more clarity about the longevity of the slowdown in economic activity and the cascading impact of supply-and-demand shocks propagating through the system, and it seems possible that economic life only will be allowed to return to normal when the world has access to a vaccine. The opening after a lockdown could be a lengthy process, and thus one should be prepared for an economic decline in 2020 and possibly also into 2021 stemming from COVID-19.

The Norwegian government acted at the outset of the crisis and implemented actions to safeguard the population and to ensure the survival of businesses through extensive support packages, including a targeted cash support initiative to cover fixed costs, including office rents. With solid infrastructure and a strong public funding, including the Government Pension Fund Global, Norway has the fundamentals in place for a recovery post-crisis.

In this situation, Entra has taken the necessary measures to protect the health and safety of our community, our tenants and other users of our buildings, as well as our employees. We have contingency plans, procedures, routines and staff in place that continue to deliver our services and property management without interruption. Entra has during March and April sought to find individual solutions that give tenants that struggle room to return to normal operation after this demanding period. In the first instance, we help tenants that are affected by changing payment schemes from upfront, quarterly to monthly invoices or giving monthly postponements on rent. If the COVID-19 situation persists, we will facilitate further, targeted support to customers particularly affected.

Entra's tenant base is strong with a seven-year WAULT and a solid backbone of public tenants comprising 58 per cent of

revenues. Less than 10 per cent of the rental income stems from industries that are most affected by the COVID-19 situation. These include companies within retail and restaurants, parking, tourism, co-working, training centres, as well as small companies with less than 15 employees.

Further, the recent and sudden decline in oil and gas prices will most likely impact the Norwegian economy. The effect from the price decline in 2014/15 was primarily seen in Stavanger and in the oil and gas intensive clusters in other cities. Entra's exposure to oil and gas is, however, limited with only around 2 per cent of total revenues through a fully consolidated 50/50 joint venture.

Entra's financial position is strong with a well staggered debt profile, a good financing mix available, and cash and unutilized credit facilities of 7.3 billion, more than three times all debt falling due next 12 months. We have constructive dialogues with our five banks, and the bank market is still open to us. During March and April, we extended a 750 million facility and put in place a new 500 million facility at favourable terms. Entra also has ample headroom to financial covenants, which are Loan-to-value of 75 per cent (39.7 per cent as of Q1) and Interest coverage ratio of 1.4 (3.2 as of Q1).

Uncertainty will prevail also in the months to come. But Entra, with modern, flexible and environmentally friendly assets located in attractive clusters near public transportation hubs, a solid tenant base with long lease contracts, a strong financial position, and an exciting project pipeline for future growth, has a proven and resilient business profile that is well positioned both through the ongoing COVID-19 and oil crisis and for the future thereafter.

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 with one exception. In the accounting principles in the annual financial statements for 2019, it is stated that investment properties are valued by independent appraisers at each reporting date. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the recent oil price development, valuation of investment properties as of 31.03.20 is connected with very high uncertainty. Entra has chosen to base the fair value as of 31.03.20 on the valuations obtained as of 31.12.19. Refer to note 5 for further information.

The financial reporting covers Entra ASA, subsidiaries, associated companies and jointly controlled entities. The interim financial statements have not been audited.

NOTE 2 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

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 Digital and Business Development division. In addition, Entra has group and support functions within accounting and 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 noneconomical 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.

NOTE 5 – RISK AND UNCERTAINTIES

The main risk factors described in the 2019 annual report does not include an evaluation of a pandemic. Refer to the Risk management section on page 15 for an assessment of COVID-19 and similar situations.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the recent oil price development, valuation of properties as of 31.03.20 is connected with very high uncertainty. Among the most important input factors to valuation of properties are the occupancy, market rent expectations and yield of a property, factors which Entra's two external appraisers (Akershus Eiendom/JLL and Newsec) base on observed market evidence. As the Norwegian transaction market came to a halt in March, the market evidence in the current situation is limited. The COVID-19 and oil situation may however affect future occupancy, market rent expectations and yield levels. Due to the material valuation uncertainty in the current situation, Entra has chosen to base the fair value as of 31.03.20 on the valuations obtained as of 31.12.19.

NOTE 6 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Refer to the Events after the balance sheet date section on page 15 for information on significant events after period end.

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.

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. NET ASSET VALUE

Net Asset Value (NAV) is a key performance measure widely used in the real estate industry. 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 Valuation metrics: EPRA Net Reinstatement Value (NRV), EPRA Net Tangible Assets (NTA) and EPRA Net Disposal Value (NDV). Entra presents EPRA NAV, EPRA NNNAV and EPRA NRV.

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. EPRA NNNAV is EPRA NAV adjusted to reflect the fair value of debt and derivatives and in order to include deferred tax on value changes.

1) The revaluation of investments made in JVs was in the report for Q1 2019 reported as 1,108 million. The correct revaluation should however have been 756 million. Comparative

figures were updated from the report Q2 2019. 2) 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. Comparative figures were updated from 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 the gross value in Entra's valuation certificates. Consequently, no adjustment is in done for real estate transfer taxes in the calculation of NRV.

For the calculation of EPRA NAV, adjustment is made for the difference between deferred tax as per the IFRS balance sheet and the balance sheet as per the underlying tax filings.

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).
