** Cash earnings in 2015 has been adjusted by 115 million due to termination of swap contracts in Q2-2015.
The termination fee was defined as a one-off item and did not reduce cash earnings as a basis for dividend for 2015.
*** Cash earnings definition changed from Q1-16 to also include net income from property management for JVs excluding Oslo S Utvikling. See definitions.
**** In 2016, Entra ASA started with semi-annual payments of dividends. Dividend for 2018 of 4.50 per share constitute dividend of 2.20 per share approved and paid for the first half 2018 and dividend of 2.30 per share proposed for the second half of 2018.
Rental income was up by 7.3 per cent from 545 million in Q1 2018 to 585 million in Q1 2019. The increased rental income can be explained by the factors in the below income bridge.

*Includes extraordinary lease buy-out in Q1 2019 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, partly offset by reduced rental income due to the divestment of three noncore properties, one during the first quarter of 2018 and the other two in January 2019. In addition, Entra recognised in the quarter an extraordinary rental income due to a lease buy-out of 12 million related to a termination of a lease contract 2 years prior to expiration.
On a like-for-like basis the rental growth was 4.8 per cent, compared to the same quarter last year. 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 2,071 (2,014) as of 31.03.19. The increase is mainly related to the commencing and completion of newbuild and rehabilitation projects and CPI adjustments for 2019.

Compared to the previous quarter, the occupancy rate went slightly down, from 96.5 per cent to 96.3 per cent. The reduction is mainly related to an increased vacancy at one property in Oslo, Langkaia 1, where one of the tenants moved out at year-end 2018. The market rental income of vacant space as of 31.03.19 was approximately 86 million on an annualised basis.

Gross letting, including re-negotiated contracts was 30 million in the quarter of which 6 million is attributable to
letting in the project portfolio. Lease contracts with an annual lease of 18 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 1 million (-15 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.

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.
| All amounts in NOK million | Q1-19 | Q1-18 |

| Maintenance | 6 | 7 |
| Tax, leasehold, insurance | 13 | 18 |
| Letting and prop. adm. | 14 | 12 |
| Direct property costs | 10 | 7 |
| Operating costs | 43 | 44 |
Operating costs were 43 million in the quarter, a decrease of 1 million compared to the same quarter in 2018. The 5 million reduction from tax, leasehold and insurance is mainly related to reduced leasehold cost of 3 million as future fixed lease payments under IFRS 16 are recognised as lease liabilities, while previously being recognised as operating costs on a straight-line basis. Further, property taxes are reduced on certain properties in Oslo.
As a consequence of the effects explained above, net operating income came in at 542 million (501 million) in the quarter.
Other revenues were 69 million (13 million) and other costs 60 million (11 million). In the quarter, 47 million of other revenues and 42 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 4.5 million in the first quarter 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 amounted to 48 million (44 million) in the quarter. The 4 million increase is primarily due to Entra's technology and digitization initiatives.

| Interest and other finance income | 2 | 12 |
| Interest and other finance expense | -134 | -121 |
| Net realised financials | -131 | -110 |
Net realised financials have increased in the first quarter of 2019 compared to 2018 mainly due to higher interest rates on floating rate debt (Nibor).
Net income came in at 395 million (363 million) in the quarter. When including only the income from property management in the results from JVs, the net income from property management was 375 million (349 million) in the quarter representing a year-on-year increase of 8 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 462 million (492 million) in the quarter.
The valuation of the property portfolio resulted in a net positive value change of 484 million (357 million) in the quarter. About 332 million of the total value changes is attributable to increased market rent, primarily in the central parts of Oslo, about 19 million is a net result of new contracts signed in the quarter partly offset by effects from terminated contracts and 13 million is related to yield compression on a few properties. In the project portfolio, about 97 million relates to ongoing projects, mainly explained by reduced risk as each project is moving towards completion in combination with improved market conditions. The remaining 23 million stems from other property related changes.
Net changes in the value of financial instruments was -22 million (135 million) in the quarter. The negative development in the quarter is mainly explained by lower long-term interest rates.
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 -147 million (-119 million) in the quarter. The change in deferred tax in the quarter was positively impacted by tax exempted divestments of Aasta Hansteens vei 10 and Pilestredet 28 of 34 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 before tax was 857 million (856 million) in the quarter. Profit after tax was 707 million (734 million) in the quarter, which also equals the comprehensive income after tax.
EPRA Earnings amounted to 266 million (248 million) in the first quarter of 2019. The increase in EPRA Earnings in the quarter is mainly related to increased net income from property management. Further information about the EPRA Earnings calculations can be found on page 26.
The Group's assets amounted to 48,564 million (44,607 million) as at 31.03.19. Of this, investment properties amounted to 45,837 million (42,847 million). One (no) property were classified as held for sale as at 31.03.19.
Investments in associates and jointly controlled entities were 260 million (456 million). The decrease is mainly attributable to paid dividends from OSU following sales of assets.
Housing-units for sale of 408 million at the end of the quarter (nil) 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 662 million (320 million) at the end of the quarter. The 2019 amount includes capitalised construction costs related to the forwardsold asset Tollbugata 1A.
Other non-current liabilities was 686 million (354 million) at the end of the quarter. The increase is mainly related to the capitalisation of lease liabilities of 235 million following the implementation of IFRS 16.
Book equity totalled 22,913 million (21,187 million). Equity per share was 146 (133) based on the EPRA NAV standard and 135 (124) based on EPRA NNNAV. Outstanding shares at 31.03.19 totalled 182,664,010 (183,732,461) as Entra held 1,068,451 (nil) treasury shares.
Net cash flow from operating activities came to 430 million (306 million) in the quarter. The increase mainly relates to working capital movements.
The net cash flow from investment activities was 9 million (276 million) in the quarter. Proceeds from property transactions of 291 million (615 million) in the quarter was related to Aasta Hansteens vei 10 and Pilestredet 28. Purchase of investment properties of -23 million (nil) in the quarter was related to the acquisition of leased land under Lars Hilles gate 30 in Bergen. The cash effect from investment in and upgrades of investment properties amounted to -335 million (-307 million) in the quarter.
Net cash flow from financing activities was -326 million (-616 million) in the quarter. During the quarter Entra has had a net decrease of bank loans and commercial papers of 120 million and 200 million, respectively.
The net change in cash and cash equivalents was 113 million (- 34 million) in the quarter.
During the first quarter, Entra's gross interest bearing nominal debt decreased by 320 million to 18,851 million. The change in interest bearing debt comprised a decrease in bank financing of 120 million and a reduction in commercial papers of 200 million. The debt decrease can mainly be attributed to divestment of the properties Aasta Hansteens vei 10 and Pilestredet 28.
In the quarter, Entra secured a new eight-year green term-loan facility of 1,500 million with the Nordic Investment Bank. The facility is earmarked to the Entra development projects at the Tullinkvartalet in Oslo, Universitetsgaten 7-9 in Oslo and Holtermanns veg 1-13 in Trondheim, which are among Entra's most environmental friendly and sustainable development projects with targeted environmental classification of BREEAM-NOR Excellent.
Further, Entra has increased bank credit facilities with 1,000 million, comprising a new 4-year green term loan of 500 million and an increase of an existing 3-year revolving credit facility of 500 million.
As at 31.03.19, net interest bearing nominal debt after deduction of liquid assets of 343 million (155 million) was 18,508 million (17,207 million).
The average remaining term for the Group's debt portfolio was 4.9 years at 31.03.19 (4.4 years as at 31.03.18). 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, 70 per cent (84 per cent) of the Group's financing came from the debt capital markets.

The average interest rate1 of the debt portfolio was 2.96 per cent (2.75 per cent) as at 31.03.19. 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. 62 per cent (54 per cent) of the Group's financing was hedged at a fixed interest rate as at 31.03.19 with a weighted average maturity of 3.3 years (4.1 years).
The Group manages interest rate risk through floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps and fixed rate bonds. The table below shows the maturity profile and contribution from these fixed rate instruments, as well as the maturity profile for credit margins on debt.

Entra's management portfolio consists of 76 buildings with a total area of approximately 1.1 million square meters. As of 31.03.19, the management portfolio had a market value of around 41.5 billion. The occupancy rate was 96.3 per cent (96.3 per cent). The weighted average unexpired lease term for the Group's leases was 6.5 years (6.6) for the management portfolio and 7.2 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 91 properties with a market value of about 46.5 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 5.0 per cent. 12 months rolling rent has increased from 2,014 to 2,071 per square meter during the last year, whereas the market rent has increased from 2,086 to 2,152 per square meter.

The calculation of net yield is based on the valuers' assumption of ownership costs, which at 31.03 corresponds to 7.3 per cent of market rent.
During the first quarter, Entra signed new and renegotiated leases with an annual rent totalling 30 million (14,000 square metres) and received notices of termination on leases with an annual rent of 18 million (8,000 square metres). Net letting was 1 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.

Entra has invested a total of 395 million (277 million) in the portfolio of investment properties in the first quarter. The decomposition of the investments is as follows:

In Tullinkvartalet in Oslo, Entra has ongoing construction of a new 22,700 sqm campus building for the Faculty of Law of the University of Oslo. The property is 82 per cent let to the University on a 25 year lease. The new-build project involves Entra's properties in Kristian Augusts gate 15-19, and parts of 21, which to a large extent is being demolished and re-built.
The project will be finalised in October 2019. The project has high environmental ambitions and aims for a BREEAM-NOR Excellent classification. During the quarter a new lease contract with Sector Asset Management has been signed which increased the occupancy to 86 per cent. The estimated total project cost has been reduced by 39 million in the quarter and

Total transaction volume in Norway summed up to around 89 billion in 2018. The market remains active with strong demand from both national and international investors. 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 3.8 per cent, despite slowly increasing interest rates. Prime yields are expected to remain stable for some time yet, and then to rise slowly over the next few years.

According to Entra's Consensus report, the office vacancy in the Oslo area dropped during 2018 and is expected to go below 6 per cent by the end of this year. 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. Consequently, the uplift in rent levels is expected to continue. Modern, centrally located office premises are especially attractive and are expected to see the strongest growth.
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 in 2019. The market has shown ability to absorb the new capacity and most of the premises that will be completed in 2019 are prelet. Rent levels in the city centre have increased, while there is a downward pressure on rents in the fringe areas.

The annual general meeting in Entra ASA is held on 26 April 2019. 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 2.30 per share for the second half of 2018. The last day the share is traded including the right to receive the dividend is 26 April 2019. The dividend will be paid on or about 8 May 2019.
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 focus from tenants, lower cost of funding through green 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 during 2018 and have trended upwards. This could potentially lead to both increased cost of funding and market yields. However, the Norwegian transaction market is very active and driven by strong demand from both domestic and international investors.
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.

The results for the period have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The financial reporting covers Entra ASA, subsidiaries, associated companies and jointly controlled entities. The interim financial statements have not been audited.
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 |
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:
If the Group had early implemented IFRS 16 from 1 January 2018, Net income for first quarter of 2018 would have increased by 2 million compared to reported numbers.
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.

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 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.
