*Entra OPF consolidated in the group from 1.1.2018

The increase in rental income from the second quarter last year is mainly driven by the aqcuisition of the remaining 50 per cent of Sundtkvartalet in October 2017, the consolidation of Entra OPF from 1.1.2018 and the completion of the project Trondheimsporten in Trondheim in the first quarter. The increase is partly offset by the sale of non-core properties during 2017 and 2018. For the first six months, the increase in rental income compared to last year is primarily driven by the same factors as mentioned above.

On a like-for-like basis, the rental growth in the second quarter and first half year was 3.0 and 2.6 per cent, respectively, compared to 2017, of which the annual indexation of the lease contracts constituted 1.1 per cent. Near all of Entra's lease contracts are 100 per cent linked to positive changes in CPI.

Average 12 months rolling rent per square meter was 2,011 (1,963) as of 30.6.2018. The increase is mainly related to portfolio rotations towards more high quality assets as well as underlying growth in market rents.

RENT (12M ROLLING) PER SQM AND OCCUPANCY RATE

The occupancy rate increased from 96.3 in the last quarter to 96.7 per cent in the second quarter. This is mainly due to signing new contracts on vacant areas and increased total marked rent. The rental value of vacant space as of 30.6.18 was approximately 78 million (49 million) on an annualised basis.

Gross letting including renegotiated contracts was 79 million in the quarter of which 22 million is attributable to letting in the project portfolio. Lease contracts with a total value of 21 million in annual leases were terminated in the quarter. Net letting, defined as new lease contracts plus lease-up on renegotiated contracts less terminated contracts, came in at 34 million (10 million). The time difference between net letting in the management portfolio in the quarter and its effect on the financial results is normally 6-18 months.

QUARTERLY NET LETTING

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 trend in the existing contract portfolio on the balance sheet date based on all reported events.

Property costs

Total property costs amounted to 42 million (41 million) in the quarter and 86 million (77 million) for the first six months of 2018. Total property costs is split as follows:

The increase in property cost for the first half year of 2018 compared to last year is mainly attributable to an increase in the property tax rate from 0.2 per cent to 0.3 per cent in Oslo and higher maintenance cost in the management portfolio. In addition, consolidation of Entra OPF has had an impact of 4 million on total property costs for the first six months of 2018.

Net operating income

As a consequence of the effects explained above, net operating income came in at 516 million (476 million) in the quarter and 1,018 million (965 million) for the first six months of 2018.

Other revenues and other costs

Other revenues was 31 million (129 million) in the quarter and 44 million (190 million) for the first six months of 2018. Other costs was 28 million (105 million) in the quarter and 39 million (164 million) for the first six months of 2018

In the quarter, 16 million of other revenues is related to the project Kongsgård Allé 20 in Kristiansand which Entra delivered to the buyer in May 2018. Year to date 2018, the revenue recognised is 18 million. Until the project was delivered to the buyer, the Group recognised other revenue and other costs based on the completion level. Other costs associated with the project amounted to 8 million in the quarter and 10 million in the first six months. The positive net effect of the project in the quarter is related to an estimated project cost reduction of 5 million.

Other revenue also consists of income from services provided to tenants. Other costs also consists of other property costs mainly related to depreciation and rental expenses.

Administrative costs

Administrative costs amounted to 36 million (36 million) in the quarter and 80 million (79 million) for the first six months of 2018.

Result from associates and JVs

Entra's share of profit from associates and JVs was 21 million (8 million) in the quarter and 36 million (132 million) year to date 2018. Due to the consolidation of Entra OPF as of 1.1.2018, the result in 2018 is only related to the ongoing business in Oslo S Utvikling.

Net realised financials have decreased in the first half year of 2018 compared to 2017 mainly due to lower average interest rate following termination of interest rate swaps. The interest and other finance income in first half year of 2018 was impacted by recognition of financing and delayed closing of Youngskvartalet of 9 million in Q1.

Net income and net income from property management

Net income came in at 384 million (333 million) in the quarter and 747 million (765 million) for the first six months of 2018. When including only the income from property management in the results from JVs, net income from property management was 364 million (328 million) in the quarter and 713 million (638 million) year to date 2018. This represents an increase of

11 per cent from the second quarter in 2017 and 12 per cent from the first six months of 2017.

Value changes

The valuation of the property portfolio resulted in a net positive value change of 489 million (1,078 million) in the quarter and 846 million (1,947 million) for the first six months of 2018. In the second quarter, about 330 million of the value changes is attributable to increased market rents, primarily in Oslo, and 95 million is a result of new contracts signed in the quarter offset partly by effects from terminated contracts. About 90 million relates to the ongoing project portfolio, mainly explained by reduced risk as each project is moving towards completion in combination with improved market conditions. 15 million of the value change is attributable to yield compression while the remaining negative 40 million relates to other property related effects.

Net changes in value of financial instruments was -30 million (36 million) in the quarter and 105 million (35 million) for the first six months of 2018. The negative value change in Q2 mainly relates to lower market interest rates during the quarter. The positive development year to date 2018 is mainly explained by higher market interest rates in the period and reduced time to maturity on interest rate swaps on existing fixed rate debt. Partly offsetting this effect, Entra has year to date terminated interest rate swaps with a notional amount of 1.1 billion with a termination cost of 49 million.

Tax

The change in deferred tax was -147 million (-195 million) in the quarter and -266 million (-453 million) in the first half of 2018. Tax payable of 5 million (5 million) year to date 2018 is related to the partly owned entity Papirbredden in Drammen. The current nominal corporate income tax rate is 23 per cent. However, the effective tax rate is less than the nominal tax, mainly due to sales 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 2017, the tax loss carry forward for the Group was 810 million (953 million).

Profit

Profit before tax was 843 million (1,446 million) in the quarter and 1,699 million (2,748 million) for the first six months of 2018. Profit after tax was 694 million (1,246 million) in the quarter and 1,428 million (2,290 million) year to date 2018, which also equals the comprehensive income for the period.

EPRA Earnings

EPRA Earnings amounted to 269 million (256 million) in the second quarter of 2018 and 517 million (483 million) year to date 2018. The increase in EPRA Earnings is mainly related to increased net income from property management.

EPRA Earnings before tax amounted to 335 million (305 million) in the second quarter 2018 and 651 million (601 million) year to date 2018.

Further information about the EPRA Earnings calculations can be found on page 27.

Long-term receivables was 242 million (202 million) at the end of the second quarter of 2018. The increase is mainly related to a seller credit structured as a bond in relation to the divestment of Middelthuns gate 29 in December 2017.

Other receivables was 255 million (651million) at the end of the second quarter 2018. The reduction is mainly due to that capitalised construction costs related to the property Youngskvartalet was included in the Q2-17 amount. This project was sold in the first quarter of 2018.

The property portfolio

Entra's management portfolio consists of 78 buildings with a total area of approximately 1,1 million square meters. As of 30.6.18, the management portfolio had a market value of around 41 billion. The occupancy rate was 96.7 per cent (97.7 per cent). The weighted average unexpired lease term for the Group's leases was 6.6 years (6.8) for the management portfolio and 7.4 years (7.7) when the project portfolio is included. The public sector represents approximately 64 per cent of the total customer portfolio. The total property portfolio, including projects and development sites, consists of 88 properties with a market value of about 44 billion. Entra focuses the portfolio on the major cities in Norway; Oslo and the surrounding region, Bergen, Stavanger and Trondheim.

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 two external appraiser's

valuation of each individual property. 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 valuer's estimated return requirements and expectations on future market development. The market value is defined as the external valuer's estimated transaction value of the individual properties on valuation date. The project portfolio is valued based on the same principles, but with deduction for remaining investments and perceived risk as of valuation date. The land and development portfolio is valued based on actually zoned land.

Year-on-year, the portfolio net yield is reduced from 5.3 per cent to 4.9 per cent. 12 months rolling rent has increased from 1,963 to 2,011 per square meter during the last year, whereas the market rent has increased from 2,030 to 2,108 per square meter.

Status ongoing projects

Entra is refurbishing Block 2 at Kjørbo into a new Powerhouse with BREEAM Excellent classification. The building is 3,950 sqm and is expected to be finished in October 2018. The property is fully let to Norconsult.

On Brattørkaia 17 A, Entra will build Powerhouse Brattørkaia. This is an energy positive and environment friendly office building of approximately 18,200 sqm, including a 2,500 sqm parking basement. The property is now 78 per cent pre-let. Powerhouse Brattørkaia will utilise sun and sea water for heating and cooling. The building will be covered by 3,500 sqm of solar panels and thus produce around 500,000 kWh of renewable energy annually. This is more than twice as much as the building consumes for heating, cooling, ventilation and lighting. It means that the building has a positive energy balance in its lifetime also when all the energy that goes into building processes, materials and finally demolition is included. The project is aiming for the environmental classification BREEAM Outstanding and Energy class A. The project will be finalised in March 2019.

In Tullinkvartalet in Oslo, Entra has ongoing construction of a new 21,000 sqm campus building for the Faculty of Law of the University of Oslo. The property is 92 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 December 2019. The new-build project aims for a BREEAM Excellent classification.

Entra is refurbishing Tollbugata 1A in Oslo. The property consists of two buildings totalling 9,000 sqm adjacent to Oslo Central station and the project is expected to be completed in late 2019. Both properties are fully let on a 15-year lease to The Directorate of Norwegian Customs.

Entra has started construction work on the first of three buildings in Holtermanns veg 1-13. The approved zoning allows construction of approximately 48,000 sqm and the first building stage is approximately 11,500 sqm, including a 2,000 sqm basement with parking. The property is approximately 53

per cent pre-let to the Norwegian Tax Administration and will be completed in the first quarter of 2020. The project is aiming for the environmental classification BREEAM Excellent and Energy class A.

Entra finalised the new-build project on Brattørkaia 16 in Trondheim in the quarter, Brattørkaia 16 is a 10,500 sqm campus building for BI Norwegian Business School. The property is fully let on a 20-year lease. The project has high environmental ambitions and aims for a BREEAM Excellent classification.

Transactions

Entra actively seeks to improve the quality of its property portfolio through a disciplined strategy of acquisitions and divestments. Entra focuses on acquisition of large properties and projects in specific areas within its four core markets; Oslo and the surrounding region, Bergen, Trondheim and Stavanger. Target areas include both areas in the city centers and selected clusters and communication hubs outside the city centers, allowing Entra to offer rental opportunities at a price

range that fits its customer base. Entra's experience, financial strength and knowledge of its tenants makes the company well positioned to make acquisitions that meets these acquisition criteria. At the same time, Entra actively divests smaller noncore properties. The acquisition and divestment strategy is flexible, allowing Entra to adapt to feedback from customers and market changes, and to respond to market opportunities as they arise.

Market development

Total transaction volume in Norway year to date sums up to around 45 billion and 130 transactions according to Pangea Property Partners. This is around 5 billion more than during the first half of 2017. The market remains active and with solid demand from both national and international investors. The total transaction volume estimate for 2018 is 75 billion, according to Entra's consensus report. The financing market continue to be well functioning, the yield gap is attractive 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 expectations of increasing interest rates.

According to Entra's Consensus report, the office vacancy in the Oslo area dropped to around 7 per cent by the end of

Market data Oslo

2017, and is expected to go down to below 6.5 per cent by the end of this year. The drop is primarily driven by increasing employment and low net new capacity to the market, stemming from low construction activity and office-toresidential conversion. Consequently, the broad 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 below 10 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. The overall office vacancy in Stavanger is still high (around 13 per cent), but there is an increasing demand for modern, flexible and centrally located office premises. There is still a downward pressure on rents in the oil and gas intensive areas. In the Stavanger city centre, the vacancy is at about 7 per cent and rent levels are more stable. The construction activity is still low.

In Trondheim, the overall office vacancy has levelled out at around 10 per cent. Vacancy is highest in the southern fringe areas of the city. The volume of new office space will be moderate this year, but 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 pre-let. Rent levels in the city centre have increased, while there is a downward pressure on rents in the fringe areas.

Other information

Organisation and HSE

At 30.6.18 the Group had 156 employees. During the quarter there were two injuries that caused absence from work. 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 7.5 at the end of the quarter vs 2.6 at the end of the second quarter 2017.

Risk and risk management

The Group is exposed to financial risk through its debt financing, and changes in interest rate levels on loans at floating rates will affect the Group's cash flow. The risks associated with the development in market rates are managed through active use of interest rate hedging instruments. Liquidity/refinancing risk is reduced by entering into long-term loan agreements, as well as through establishing a diversified maturity structure and the use of various credit markets and counterparties.

The Group's equity is affected by value changes on properties and financial instruments that are due to changes in, among other things, interest and rent levels, yields and other market conditions. Entra is exposed to the letting market, which is affected by macroeconomic changes in, among other things, GDP, the CPI rate and employment. Vacancy in the portfolio and rent changes on renegotiation of existing contracts affect the ongoing cash flow. Efforts are made to reduce the letting risk by systematic customer service, following up contract expiries and plans for letting work, as well as by adapting properties to customers' requirements. By entering into long leases with a diversified maturity structure, the Group achieves a stable and predictable cash flow. Entra carries out major upgrading and development projects involving risks in relation to primarily deadlines and costs.

Events after the balance sheet date

The Board has decided to pay out a semi-annual dividend of NOK 2.20 per share for the first half of 2018. The dividend will be paid out on 10 October 2018 to the shareholders as of 1 October 2018.

On 2 July 2018, three of the transactions in the acquisition of the development site at Bryn in Oslo, was closed. In these transactions, Entra acquired the properties Brynsveien 5, Østensjøveien 39/41 and Østensjøveien 43. The final two transactions are expected to be completed in September 2018.

In July 2018, the partly owned entity Oslo S Utvikling, sold the subsidiary Barcode Basement AS for about 830 million.

Outlook

Entra continues to deliver on its core strategic pillars; profitable growth, customer satisfaction, and environmental leadership. Deliberate and targeted project development of profitable newbuilds and refurbishments is an important source to profitable growth. Entra has in recent years had the most satisfied customers amongst the major Norwegian real estate companies. A key priority for Entra in 2018 is to further develop its product and service offerings with the aim of realising the vision of owning buildings where the most satisfied people are working.

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. We experience a significantly 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 our green bonds, 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 some degree of general uncertainty about the future, particularly in relation to the residential market and relatively high levels of household debt.

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 70 per cent of revenues, and we expect the Oslo office market to develop favourably in the coming years with lower 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 we expect a moderate recovery in the coming years.

Interest rates have bottomed out on historically low levels and has recently 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.

We do expect that the yield compression seen over the last two years will level out. 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 quarters.

With its 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 Entra 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.

Except for the implementation of the new standards IFRS 9 and IFRS 15, 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 2017.

IFRS 9 opens to make a new assessment of whether the Group should continue to use the fair value option ahead or measuring loans at amortised cost. From 1 January 2018 the Group has decided to measure fixed rate bonds at amortised cost. The only change in the Groups financial statements arising from the implementation of the IFRS 9 is the change from measuring fixed rate bonds to fair value through P&L historically to amortised cost, which reduced liabilities by 314 million. We refer to the 2017 annual report (page 76) for further explanation of the implementation effects on the financial statements.

In the 2017 annual report, Entra stated that the financial statements would not be affected by implementing IFRS 15. In the first quarter of 2018, Entra has revisited the interpretation of how termination clauses in contracts should affect the accounting under IFRS 15.

The termination clauses in a contract are among the determining factors in assessing whether the seller is entitled to payment for completed work until the date of cancellation. If a buyer does not have the right to cancel a contract, and the seller can require a buyer to pay the consideration agreed in the contract even if the buyer acts to terminate a contract, IFRS 15 states that the seller must recognise the revenue from the project over time.

Based on a new assessment of the recognition of the Eufemia's office building under construction in OSU, Entra concluded that building, which is to be handed over to KLP upon completion, will be accounted for over time both as the building does not have an alternative use and OSU has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.

IFRS 15 should be applied in an entity's IFRS financial statements for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. In accordance with the transition guidance, Entra has chosen to recognise the cumulative effect of applying IFRS 15 as an adjustment to the opening balance of equity as at the date of initial application (1 January 2018).

The table below shows the transition effects on the OSU financial statements due reclassification of the accounting of the Eufemia building on OSU:

Entra's share result/equity effect* 80

* Increase in investments in associates and JVs and shareholders equity.

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 EVP property management. 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, 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 their segment information based upon these six geographic areas.

During the first quarter the Group handed to the buyer the property Tungasletta 2 in Trondheim. Purchase of investment property in the second quarter relates to the properties Nils Hansens vei 20 in Oslo and Johannes Bruns gate 16/Nygårdsveien 91 in Bergen.

The value change on operational lease agreements relates to the property Langkaia 1, which is owned under a lease that expires on 31 December 2030. The property will then revert without consideration to the Oslo Harbour Authority. The property is classified as an investment property under IAS 40 and is valued at 707 million (695 million) as at the end of the second quarter of 2018. The Group records quarterly a negative value change on the property as the maturity date of the lease approaches.

NOTE 4 – INFORMATION ON THE FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Except for the implementation of IFRS 9, the valuation methods and principles are unchanged in the quarter. See the annual financial statements for 2017 for further information. Set out below is a summary of assets and liabilities measured at fair value divided between the different valuation hierarchies set out in IFRS 7.

With the exception of investment properties of 43,751 million and equity capital instruments of 4 million (level 3), all financial assets and liabilities are level 2.

*** From 24 per cent to 23 per cent for 2017 figures.

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 INITIAL 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).
