Rental income

Rental income was up by 4 per cent from 506 million in Q4 2016 to 526 million in Q4 2017, and by 9 per cent from 1,899 million in 2016 to 2,075 million in 2017. The increased rental income can be explained by the factors in the below income bridge.

Development projects 10 30
Acquisitions 16 141
Divestments -24 -65
Like-for-like growth 14 61
Rental income 526 2 075

The increase in rental income in the quarter, compared to the same quarter last year, is mainly driven by the acquisition of the remaining 50 per cent of Sundtkvartalet which closed in October 2017, offset by divestments of 11 non-core properties during 2017, especially the divestment of the Kristiansand portfolio in May 2017. For the full year of 2017 the increase in rental income is also driven by the full-year effect of the acquisition of the Skøyen portfolio in September 2016 and Oslo City that was consolidated into the accounts in the second quarter of 2016, in addition to the completion of several development projects during 2017.

On a like-for-like basis the rental growth was 3.1 per cent, compared to the same quarter last year and 3.7 per cent compared to 2016. The annual indexation of the lease contracts constituted 3.6 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 1,975 (1,940) as of 31.12.17. The increase from the end of 2016 is mainly related to continued portfolio rotation towards more central, high quality assets. The remaining growth is mainly driven by income effects from increased occupancy in the Oslo portfolio and the completion of newbuild- and rehabilitation projects.

Compared to the previous quarter the occupancy rate went slightly down, from 97.2 per cent to 97.0 per cent. The market rental income of vacant space as of 31.12.17 was approximately 64 (66) million on an annualised basis.

Gross letting, including re-negotiated contracts with an annual lease of 34 million, was 52 million in the quarter of which 5 million is attributable to letting in the project portfolio. Lease contracts with an annual lease of 29 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 -16 million (25 million) in the quarter. For 2017, gross letting including re-negotiated contracts was 269 million and lease contracts with a total value of 120 million was terminated. Net letting for the year came in at -20 million. The time difference between the net letting in the management portfolio and its effect on the financial results is normally 6-12 months. Effects from letting in the project portfolio can be found in the project table under the section Investments and Divestments.

Total property costs in 2017 is stable compared to 2016. However, the introduction of property tax in Oslo has had a negative impact on the property cost, which for 2017 was about 19 million in total. This is mainly offset by reduced direct property cost due to a higher occupancy rate in the management portfolio.

Net operating income

As a consequence of the effects explained above, net operating income came in at 480 million (455 million) in the quarter and 1,913 million (1,740 million) for the financial year 2017.

Other revenues and other costs

Other revenues were 68 million (766 million) in the quarter and 285 million (950 million) in 2017.

Result from associates and JVs

Entra`s share of profit from associates and JVs was 82 million (74 million) in the quarter and 244 million (150 million) in 2017. The increase is mainly related to the acquisition of the remaining 50 per cent of the shares in Sundtkvartalet AS. According to IFRS the acquisition shall be treated as realisation of the previously owned shares and due to increased value of the shares the Group has recognised a value gain of 40 million in the quarter.

NET INCOME FROM PROPERTY MANAGEMENT PER SHARE

(Annualised, rolling 4 quarters)

Value changes

Net value changes amounted to 864 million (1,128 million) in the quarter and 3,547 million (2,116 million) for 2017.

The valuation of the property portfolio resulted in a net positive value change of 831 million (868 million) in the quarter and 3,460 million (1,991 million) for the financial year 2017. In the fourth quarter, about 160 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. For the management portfolio, about 300 million of the value changes is attributable to yield compression, 260 million is due to increased market rents, primarily in Oslo, and 50 million is a result of new contracts signed in the quarter offset partly by effects from terminated contracts. Realised value changes of 60 million is related to the sale of Middelthuns gate 29 in Oslo and Tungasletta 2 in Trondheim since Q3-17.

For 2017 in total, the value change is mainly attributable to yield compression in most of the largest cities and increased market rent in the Oslo area.

Net changes in the value of financial instruments was 34 million (260 million) in the quarter and 87 million (125 million) for 2017. The positive development in the quarter is mainly explained by higher market interest rates and reduced time to maturity on interest rate swaps, partly offset by a negative contribution related to decreasing credit margins on existing fixed rate debt and termination cost of 24 million for realised swap contracts in the quarter and 36 million for the full year 2017.

Tax

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.

The change in deferred tax was 152 million (-155 million) in the quarter and -507 million (-580 million) in 2017. The change in deferred tax in the quarter was positively impacted by tax exempted divestment of Middelthuns gate 29 of 240 million and by 189 million as a result of change in the corporate income tax (CIT) from 24 per cent in 2017 to 23 per cent from 1 January 2018. The effective tax rate during 2017 is less than the CIT mainly due to divestment of properties without tax effect.

EPRA Earnings amounted to 249 million (221 million) in the fourth quarter of 2017 and 960 million (784 million) in 2017. The increase in EPRA Earning in the quarter and for 2017 is mainly related to increased net income from property management.

The property portfolio

Entra´s management portfolio consists of 75 buildings with a total area of approximately 1,05 million square meters. As of 31.12.17, the management portfolio had a market value of around 37 billion. The occupancy rate was 97.0 per cent (96.8 per cent). The weighted average unexpired lease term for the Group's leases was 6.7 years (7.0) for the management portfolio and 7.4 years (7.7) when the project portfolio is included. The public sector represents approximately 67 per cent of the total customer portfolio. The entire property portfolio consists of 84 properties with a market value of about 40 billion. Entra focuses the portfolio on the major cities in Norway; Oslo and the surrounding region, Bergen, Stavanger and Trondheim. Entra has its head office in Oslo.

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 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 reduced from 5.7 per cent to 5.1 per cent. 12 months rolling rent has increased from 1,940 to 1,975 per square meter during the last year, whereas the market rent has increased from 1,906 to 2,043 per square meter.

Status ongoing project

On Brattørkaia 16 in Trondheim, Entra is building 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. The project will be finalised in the end of the second quarter of 2018.

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 block 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, of which a 2,500 sqm parking basement. The property is 48 per cent pre-let, and several letting processes are ongoing. 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 the first quarter of 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 the end of 2019. The new-build project aims for a BREEAM Excellent classification.

"Trondheimsporten", a new-build project located in Holtermanns veg 70 in Trondheim was completed in the quarter with a target of achieving BREEAM Very Good classification. The property is a 15-floor office building of approximately 28,600 sqm. It is fully let to Trondheim municipality, the Norwegian Directorate of Health and the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration on 10-year contracts.

Youngskvartalet in Oslo involves both a new building and refurbishment and conservation of three existing buildings. The project consists of 9,400 sqm and will be finalised in Q1 2018. The project is forward sold to Industri Energi as part of a larger transaction that took place in 2012, where Entra booked a total gain of 134 million. When finalised, Entra will deliver the project at cost, plus a project management fee. Closing will be during Q1 2018.

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 in 2017 totalled around 85 billion. The market is active and the number of transactions in 2017 was record high. Demand from both national and international investors remain strong and the transaction volumes are expected to be high also going forward, according to Entra's consensus report. The financing market is well functioning, the yield gap remains attractive and the outlook for the Norwegian economy is positive. Prime yields are expected to slide slightly upwards as a result of higher interest rates. However, the expected increase in rent levels and inflation should have a balancing effect on valuations.

Source: Entra Consensus report

According to Entra's Consensus report, the office vacancy in the Oslo area dropped to around 7 per cent by the end of 2017, and is expected to bottom out at around 6.5 per cent by the end of this year. The drop is primarily driven by slightly increasing employment and low net new capacity to the

Market data Oslo

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. The recent decline in residential prices is not expected to affect the level of office-to-residential conversions in the short term.

In Bergen, the office vacancy has levelled out at about 10 per cent. We expect the office vacancy to drop below 10 per cent due to low construction activity and office-to-residential conversion. 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 higher activity and optimism. However, the overall office vacancy in Stavanger has increased to around 13 per cent as vacant premises still on contracts are expiring. There is still a downward pressure on rents in oil and gas intensive areas like Forus. In the Stavanger city centre, the vacancy is at about 7 per cent and rent levels are more stable. The construction activity is low.

In Trondheim, the overall office vacancy has levelled out at around 10 per cent. 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 around 70 per cent of the premises 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 31.12.17 the Group had 155 (166) employees.

In 2017 Entra has had no injuries with long term absence from work among employees, tenants or in the ongoing projects. 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 fourth quarter 2017 vs 3.6 at the end of the fourth quarter 2016.

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

Following completion of the MediaCity Bergen project, the shareholder agreement is revised, with the effect that Entra from 1 January 2018 has a controlling vote on the Board of Directors. Entra OPF , that owns the properties Lars Hilles gate 30 and Allehelgens gate 6, will thus be consolidated in the Group's financial statements from 1.1 2018 (until 31.12.17 treated as an associated company). From 2018 the company's income from property management will therefore be included

with 100 per cent in cash earnings and positively impact the expected dividends for Entra for the financial year 2018. In addition, consolidating Entra OPF from 1 January 2018 will have a positive effect on the balance sheet, including the LTV, as 100 per cent of the company's assets and liabilities will be included in the Group' consolidated accounts. Currently Entra OPF has an occupancy rate of 88 per cent. When fully rented Entra OPF will have an annual rental income of approximately 140 million.

Annual general meeting

The annual general meeting in Entra ASA will be held on 20 April 2018. In line with the dividend policy of distributing approximately 60 per cent of Cash Earnings, the board of Entra will propose to distribute a semi-annual dividend of NOK 2.10 per share for the second half of 2017. In October 2017, Entra paid out NOK 2.0 per share for the first six months of 2017. For the financial year 2017 Entra will thus have paid out NOK 4.10 per share compared to NOK 3.45 per share for 2016. Cash Earnings is defined as net income from property management less payable tax.

Outlook

Entra's continues to deliver on its core strategic pillars; profitable growth, customer satisfaction, and environmental leadership. Deliberate and targeted project development of profitable newbuilds and rehabilitations 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 into 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 a softening 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.

Long term interest rates have in recent quarters stabilised on historically low levels, but 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 properties, value enhancing development project and a positive rental market outlook should provide a continued positive portfolio value development, albeit at a significantly slower pace.

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.

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 2016.

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 is organised into two geographic units: Oslo and Regional Cities, which again 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 units do not have their own profit responsibility. The geographical units 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.

From 1 January 2018 Entra has organised the two geographic units into one main operational unit, leaded by the EVP of the property portfolio. The geographic areas will be monitored as they have been historically, but the operational responsibility for the six geographic areas will be more formally organised through recently appointed leaders. As such, Entra will continue to report key performance indicators on the six geographic areas defined above.

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 interest-bearing debt, 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).
