Rental income

Rental income was up by 4 per cent from 558 million in Q2 2018 to 580 million in Q2 2019 and by 6 per cent from 1,103 million to 1,165 million for the first six months of 2019. The increased rental income can be explained by the factors in the below income bridge.

*YTD-19 includes extraordinary lease buy-out in Q1-19 of 12 million

The increase in rental income in the quarter, compared to the same quarter last year, is mainly driven by the acquisition of the Bryn portfolio during the second half of 2018 and the completion of two newbuild projects in Trondheim; Brattørkaia 16 in June last year and the project Powerhouse Brattørkaia in the first quarter this year. The increase is partly offset by reduced rental income due to the divestment of two properties in January 2019 and reduced income in Universitetsgata 2 as the property was vacated during Q4 2018 awaiting the refurbishment project to begin. For the first six months, the increase is also driven by an extraordinary rental income effect in Q1 2019 from a lease buy-out of 12 million related to a termination of a lease contract two years prior to expiration.

On a like-for-like basis the rental growth was 4.3 per cent, compared to the same quarter last year and 4.9 per cent for the first six months. The annual indexation of the lease contracts constituted 3.5 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 2,013 (2,011) as of 30.06.19. The increase is mainly related to the commencing and completion of newbuild and rehabilitation projects and CPI adjustments for 2019. The increase is offset

letting in the project portfolio. Lease contracts with an annual lease of 18 million were terminated in the quarter. Net letting

by reduced rents in properties that in the next 12 months will be vacated and under refurbishment.

RENT (12M ROLLING) PER SQM AND OCCUPANCY RATE

Compared to the previous quarter, the occupancy rate went slightly down, from 96.3 per cent to 96.0 per cent. The reduction is mainly related to increased vacancy in two properties in the Bryn/Helsfyr portfolio and the completion of the project Powerhouse Brattørkaia with about 9 per cent vacancy. The market rental income of vacant space as of 30.06.19 was approximately 96 million on an annualised basis.

QUARTERLY NET LETTING

Gross letting, including re-negotiated contracts was 90 million in the quarter of which 27 million is attributable to defined as new lease contracts plus lease-up on renegotiated contracts less terminated contracts came in at 29 million (33

million) in the quarter. The time 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, completion of new 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.

Direct property costs 13 8 23 15
Operating costs 50 42 93 86

The 6 million reduction from tax, leasehold and insurance for the half year of 2019 is mainly related to reduced leasehold cost as future fixed lease payments under IFRS 16 from Q1 2019 are recognised as lease liabilities, while previously being recognised as operating costs on a straight-line basis. The increase in the letting and property administrative and direct property costs is mainly related to the acquisition of the Bryn portfolio in the second half of 2018 and increased cost due to temporarily vacancy in the management portfolio.

Net operating income

As a consequence of the effects explained above, net operating income came in at 530 million (516 million) in the quarter, and 1,072 million (1,018 million) for the first six months of 2019.

Other revenues and other costs

Other revenues was 71 million (31 million) in the quarter and 140 million (44 million) for the first six months of 2019. Other costs was 67 million (28 million) in the quarter and 128 million (39 million) for the first six months of 2019.

In the quarter, 48 million of other revenues and 45 million of other costs is related to the development of Tollbugata 1A in Oslo, which is forward-sold and expected to be delivered to the buyer in the fourth quarter of 2019.

All of the income and costs related to assets in the Bryn portfolio expected to be zoned for residential development and subsequently sold to a third party, is recognised as other revenues and other cost. The net effect of this is 5 million for the first six months of 2019.

In addition to the effects explained above, the net effect from other revenues and other costs in the quarter consists of income and cost from services provided to tenants.

Administrative costs

Administrative costs amounted to 42 million (36 million) in the quarter, and 90 million (80 million) for the first six months of 2019. The 10 million increase year to date is primarily due to Entra's technology and digitization initiatives.

Net income and net income from property management

Net income came in at 484 million (384 million) in the quarter and 880 million (747 million) for the first six months of 2019. When including only the income from property management in the results from JVs, net income from property management was 352 million (364 million) in the quarter and 727 million (713 million) year to date 2019. This represents a decrease of 3 per cent from the second quarter in 2018 and an increase of 2 per cent from the first six months of 2018. 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 453 million (459 million) in the quarter and 915 million (951 million) for the first six months of 2019.

The valuation of the property portfolio resulted in a net positive value change of 472 million (489 million) in the quarter. About 353 million of the total value changes is attributable to increased market rent, primarily in the central parts of Oslo, about 18 million is a net result of new contracts signed in the quarter partly offset by effects from terminated contracts and 2 million is related to yield compression on a few properties. In the project portfolio, about 102 million relates to ongoing projects, mainly explained by new lease contracts signed in the period, reduced risk as each project is moving towards completion in combination with improved market conditions. The remaining stems from positive value changes of 11 million in relation to transactions in the quarter and negative value changes of 14 million related to other property related changes.

For the first six months the value change is mainly related to increased market rent in Oslo.

Net changes in value of financial instruments was -19 million (-30 million) in the quarter and -41 million (105 million) for the first six months of 2019. The negative development in the quarter is mainly explained by lower long-term interest rates.

Tax

Tax payable of 6 million (5 million) year to date is mainly to the partly owned entity Papirbredden in Drammen. The change in deferred tax was -171 million (-147 million) in the quarter and - 318 million (-266 million) in the first half of 2019. The change in deferred tax year to date is positively impacted by tax exempted divestments of Aasta Hansteens vei 10, Pilestredet 28 and Karoline Kristensens vei 2 of 38 million in total. The

effective tax rate is less than the corporate income tax mainly due to divestment of properties without tax effect.

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 2018, the tax loss carry forward for the Group's wholly-owned subsidiaries was 321 million (810 million).

Profit

Profit before tax was 937 million (843 million) in the quarter and 1,795 million (1,699 million) for the first six months of 2019.

Housing-units for sale of 412 million (nil) 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 724 million (255 million) at the end of the quarter. The 2019 amount includes capitalised construction costs related to the forwardsold asset Tollbugata 1A.

Cash flow statement

Net cash flow from operating activities came in at 192 million (259 million) in the quarter and 622 million (566 million) for the first six months of 2019.

No investment properties were purchased in the quarter. The cash effect from investment in and upgrades of investment properties amounted to -360 million (-272 million) in the quarter. Investment in property and housing-units for sale in the quarter of -66 million (-3 million) mainly relates to construction costs related to the forward-sold asset Tollbugata 1A.

Net cash flow from financing acitivites was 107 million (167 million) in the quarter and -219 million (-449 million) year to date 2019. During the quarter, Entra has had a net decrease of bank loans of 810 million and an increase of bond loans of 1,400 million. In addition, the Group has paid dividend of 420 million (386 million) to the shareholders of Entra ASA.

The net change in cash and cash equivalents was -130 million (27 million) in the quarter and -17 million (-7 million) for the first six months of 2019.

In the quarter, Entra issued two new green bonds with tenors of six and seven years and principals of 700 and 900 million, respectively. The new green bonds were earmarked to the BREEAM In-Use Excellent building, Fredrik Selmers vei 4 at Helsfyr in Oslo. Entra has also refinanced commercial paper loans of 1,200 million and repurchased 200 million of short dated outstanding bonds.

Further, the weighted average maturity of Entra's revolving bank facilities have been extended by using extension options in the loan agreements. Bank facilities with a total volume of 7,000 million have thus been extended, bringing the weighted average maturity for these facilities up to 4.1 years. During the quarter, the partly-owned subsidiary Papirbredden Eiendom established extension options in its loan agreements and has

thus extended its bank term loans of 726 million to a new weighted average maturity of 6.5 years.

Interest bearing debt and maturity structure

As of 30.06.19, net interest bearing nominal debt after deduction of liquid assets of 213 million (182 million) was 19,228 million (17,734 million).

The average remaining term for the Group's debt portfolio was 5.4 years at 30.06.19 (4.8 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, 75 per cent (80 per cent) of the Group's financing came from the debt capital markets.

Interest rates and maturity structure

The average interest rate1 of the debt portfolio was 2.80 per cent (2.77 per cent) as at 30.06.19. The change in average interest rate stems mainly from higher Nibor interest rates and increased share of fixed interest rates in the debt portfolio, as part of the forward start swap portfolio has become fixed rate payer swaps. Further, Entra terminated ultimo June existing short term interest rate swaps with a total notional amount of 1,800 million. The swaps had a weighted average interest rate of 4.0 per cent and time to maturity of 1.0 year. The termination executed reduced the average interest rate from 3.04 per cent to 2.80 per cent. The termination cost paid amounted to 45 million.

56 per cent (54 per cent) of the Group's financing was hedged at a fixed interest rate as at 30.06.19 with a weighted average maturity of 3.4 years (3.9 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.

The property portfolio

Entra's management portfolio consists of 76 buildings with a total area of approximately 1.1 million square meters. As of 30.06.19, the management portfolio had a market value of around 42.5 billion. The occupancy rate was 96.0 per cent (96.7 per cent). The weighted average unexpired lease term for the Group's leases was 6.4 years (6.6) for the management portfolio and 7.0 years (7.4) when the project portfolio is included. The public sector represents approximately 62 per cent of the total customer portfolio. The entire property portfolio consists of 90 properties with a market value of about 47.3 billion.

Entra's properties are valued by two external appraisers (Akershus Eiendom and Cushman & Wakefield) 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 4.9 per cent. 12 months rolling rent has increased slightly from 2,011 to 2,013 per square meter during the last year, whereas the market rent has increased from 2,108 to 2,169 per square meter.

Status ongoing projects

In Tullinkvartalet in Oslo, Entra has ongoing construction of a new 22,700 sqm campus building for the University of Oslo's Faculty of Law. 82 per cent of the property is let to the university on a 25-year lease. Committed occupancy is currently 92 per cent. The new-build project involves Entra's properties in Kristian Augusts gate 15-19, and parts of Kristian Augusts gate 21. These are to a large extent demolished and re-built. The project has high environmental ambitions and aims for a BREEAM-NOR Excellent classification. The estimated total project cost has been reduced by 15 million in the quarter. Expected completion remains on schedule for October 2019 as reported in Q1 2019.

Also, in Tullinkvartalet, Entra is building a new 22,300 sqm office property in Universitetsgata 7-9 in Oslo. The pre-let ratio has increased to 44 per cent during the quarter following signing of a new lease contract. Estimated total project cost is increased with 20 million in the quarter due to increased tenant customization in connection with the contract. This is however reflected in higher rent and the yield-on-cost is unchanged. The property is expected to be finalised in Q3 2021. The project has high environmental ambitions and aims for a BREEAM-NOR Excellent classification.

Entra has started up the redevelopment project the Rebel U2 in Universitetsgata 2, next to Tullinkvartalet. Rebel U2 will be a technology and knowledge hub for large and small tech companies and will be managed 50/50 by Entra and an external partner. The 28,100 sqm building will consist of office space, co-working areas, conference center and a variation of restaurants. Rebel U2 will offer a full-service concept through short term contracts with access to meeting rooms, complimentary beverages, wi-fi and more through memberships. The project is expected to be completed in Q3 2021.

Entra is also refurbishing Tollbugata 1A in Oslo. The property consists of two buildings totaling 9,000 sqm adjacent to Oslo

Central Station. The refurbishment project is expected to be completed in October 2019. The property is fully let on a 15 year lease to The Directorate of Norwegian Customs. The property is forward sold as part of the property swap transaction announced in December 2018. The transaction will close upon project completion. During the quarter, the cost estimate was reduced from 460 million to 450 million, increasing the yield on cost from 5.1 per cent to 5.3 per cent.

At Brattørkaia 12 in Trondheim Entra, builds a 2,000 sqm new office property which is fully let to The Norwegian State Educational Loan Fund ("Lånekassen"). The property will be finalised in January 2020, and the project aims for Energy class A.

In Holtermanns veg 1-13 in Trondheim, Entra has ongoing construction of a new office building. This is the first of three planned buildings. The approved zoning allows total construction of approximately 48,000 sqm, with the first building stage being 11,700 sqm. This new-build includes a 2,000 sqm basement with parking facilities. Expected completion is in the first quarter of 2020. The project has high environmental ambitions and aims for a BREEAM-NOR Excellent classification.

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.

Market development

The market remains active with strong demand. Total transaction volume in Norway year to date sums up to around 39 billion and 99 transactions according to Cushman & Wakefield Realkapital. This is around 6 billion less than during the first half of 2018. The expected transaction volume for 2019 is 83 billion, according to Entra's consensus report. The financing market continue to be well functioning and the outlook for the Norwegian economy is solid. The overall high demand for Norwegian real estate has caused prime yield to remain stable at around 3.7 per cent. Prime yields are expected to remain stable for some time yet, and then to rise slowly over the next few years.

TRANSACTION VOLUME NORWAY

Source: Entra Consensus report

The office vacancy in the Oslo area has decreased during the last three years and is expected to level out at 5,6 per cent by the end of this year according to Entra's Consensus report. The

drop is primarily driven by increasing employment and moderate net new capacity to the market, stemming from limited construction activity and continued office-to-residential conversion. Vacancy is lowest in the city centre, estimated to around 3.5 per cent. Consequently, the uplift in rent levels in Central Oslo is expected to continue. Modern, centrally located office premises are especially attractive and are expected to see the strongest growth over the next two years.

In Bergen, the office vacancy has dropped to about 9 per cent due to low construction activity, office-to-residential conversion, slightly increased employment and new optimism in the oil and gas industry. Rents in the city centre of Bergen has increased due to low vacancy and low supply of modern, centrally located office premises.

The Stavanger area is experiencing increasing employment and optimism due to higher activity in the oil and gas sector. As a result of this, combined with low construction activity, office vacancies have fallen to about 10 per cent. Rents appear to have levelled out in the main oil and gas intensive areas. In Stavanger city centre, the vacancy is low, there is an increasing demand for modern, flexible and centrally located office premises and rent levels appears to increase slightly.

In Trondheim, the overall office vacancy has levelled out at around 10 per cent. Vacancy is highest in the fringe areas of the city. The volume of new office space will increase during 2019. The market has shown ability to absorb the new capacity and most of the premises that will be completed in 2019 are pre-let. Rent levels in the city centre have increased, while there is a downward pressure on rents in the fringe areas.

Outlook

Entra continues to deliver on its core strategic pillars; profitable growth, customer satisfaction, and environmental leadership.

Deliberate and targeted project development of newbuilds and refurbishments is an important source to profitable growth. Emerging trends like co-working, employee wellbeing and increased flexibility demands from tenants will impact Entra's priorities, making technology development and being close to the tenants even more important. Entra has in recent years had the most satisfied customers amongst the major Norwegian real estate companies, and a priority is to further develop end-user focus with product and service offerings to realize the vision of owning buildings where the most satisfied people work.

Environmental leadership and sustainability has been a key priority for Entra during the last decade and is an integral part of all business operations in the company. There is a continued growing interest from all stakeholders on this topic, and the financial benefits are also materialising through increasing appreciation from tenants, lower cost of funding through green bond and bank financing, and higher valuations of environmentally friendly properties.

The Norwegian economy is seeing a moderate upturn with GDP growth and increasing employment. Nevertheless, there is still general uncertainty about the future stemming primarily from geopolitical and financial macro factors that could impact the Norwegian economy.

Modern, environmentally friendly offices located near public transportation hubs are attractive and obtain solid rents compared to premises located in less central areas. Entra's

portfolio in Oslo constitutes around 65 per cent of the market value of the management portfolio, and the Oslo office market is expected to continue favourably in the coming years with low vacancy levels and higher rental prices. The office markets in Bergen and Trondheim are expected to maintain stable, and there are positive signs in Stavanger where one expects a moderate recovery in the coming years.

Interest rates bottomed out on historically low levels in 2018, and short term interest rates have since then trended upwards. This could potentially lead to increased cost of funding. However, the longer term interest rates remain low, reflecting the overall uncertainty in the global economy.

The Norwegian transaction market is very active and driven by strong demand supported by a well-functioning debt market. The yield compression has levelled out, and one expects a flat to moderate increase over the coming years. However, Entra's portfolio with a healthy mix of attractive yielding properties and value enhancing development project combined with a positive rental market outlook should provide a continued positive portfolio value development, albeit at a significantly slower pace than in recent years.

With Entra's flexible properties in attractive locations and clusters, strong tenant base with long lease contracts, exciting project pipeline and solid financial position, the Board believe that the company is well positioned for the future.

Except for the implementation of the standards IFRS 16, 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 2018. IFRS 16 is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.

IFRS 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to account for all leases under a single on-balance sheet model similar to the accounting for finance leases under IAS 17. The standard substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in IAS 17, and continues to require a lessor to classify a lease either as an operating lease or a finance lease. For leases with at lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low‑value assets, the Group will recognise a lease expense on a straight‑line basis as permitted by IFRS 16.

The effect of the implementation of IFRS 16 on the opening balance sheet as of 1 January 2019 was the following:

All amounts in NOK million Effect 1.1.19
Investment properties 231
Total assets 231
Total equity -10
Deferred tax liability -3
Other non-current liabilities 235
Other current liabilities 9
Total equity and liabilities 231

Property lease contracts

The Group has analysed all its lease contracts for the lease of ground, parking lots and buildings to evaluate if they fulfil the criteria to qualify as leases according to IFRS 16. Only fixed payments are included in the initial measurement of the lease liability, excluding the Group's turnover based lease contracts. Based on this analysis, the Group has identified a limited number of lease contracts according to the standard concerning leased ground, parking lots and buildings.

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 company-specific features that affect Entra's incremental borrowing rate, such as tenant-specific factors and the length of the lease.

Entra applies the fair value model in IAS 40 to its investment properties, where the rental expenses under the property lease contracts until the implementation of IFRS 16 were included in the individual property's assumed future cash flows. The leased properties meet the definition of investment properties in IAS 40 and Entra also applies the fair value model to right-of-use assets associated with the property lease contracts. By separating the rental expenses from the other cash flows of the property, the discounted cash flows of the property increase by an amount equal to the value of the right-of-use asset. The discount rate used to calculate the right-of-use asset in accordance with IAS 40 is different from the discount rate used to calculate the lease liability. Further, the value of the right-ofuse asset include expected CPI adjustments, while expected CPI adjustments cannot be factored in when determining the lease liability. The value of the right-of-use assets is consequently different from the value of the lease liability.

The impacts on the statement of comprehensive income was the following:

  • Reduction of the rents included in Operating costs involving an increase in Net operating income;
  • Financial costs on the lease debt is included in Net realised financials; and
  • Changes in the value of the right-of-use assets is included in Changes in value of investment properties.

If the Group had early implemented IFRS 16 from 1 January 2018, Net income for first half of 2018 would have increased by 5 million compared to reported numbers.

NOTE 2 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Group has one main operational unit, led by the EVP of the property portfolio. 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 Letting 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 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.

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.

ENTRA'S FINANCIAL APMS:

  • Net Income from property management

B. NET ASSET VALUE – 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.

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).
