** 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. Dividends in 2016 of 3.45 per share constitute of dividend approved and paid in 2016 for the first half year 2016

and dividend approved for second half of 2016, paid in May 2017. Dividend year to date Q2-17 relates to approved, not yet paid dividend. Several of the numbers are marked as not applicable ("na") as the figures are not comparable either due to historical changes in the P&L or due to changes in the outstanding shares of Entra

ASA.

Rental income

The Group's rental income was up by 12 per cent from 463 million in Q2 16 to 517 million in Q2 17, and by 14 per cent from 916 million to 1,042 million for the first six months of 2017. The increased rental income can be explained by the factors in the below income bridge.

Like-for-like growth 16 30
Rental income 517 1 042

The increase in rental income from the second quarter last year is mainly driven by the acquisitions of the Skøyen portfolio with effect from the third quarter in 2016 and the completion of the projects in Strømsveien 96 and Cort Adelers gate 30 in Oslo in December 2016. The increase is partly offset by the sale of non-core properties during 2016 and 2017.

For the first six months, the increase in rental income is primarily driven by the aqcuistion of the Skøyen portfolio and the office section of Oslo City, the latter which was fully consolidated in the second quarter in 2016.

On a like-for-like basis the rental growth in the second quarter was 3.8 per cent compared to the same quarter last year and 3.6 per cent compared to the first half year in 2016, of which 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.

Average 12 months rolling rent per square meter was 1,963 (1,812) as of 30.06.2017. The increase is mainly related to portfolio rotations towards more high quality assets, hereunder the acquisitions of Oslo City and the Skøyen portfolio combined with divestments of non-core properties.

RENT (12M ROLLING) PER SQM AND OCCUPANCY RATE

The occupancy rate increased to 97.7 per cent (95.4 per cent).

The rental value of vacant space as of 30.06.17 was approximately 49 million (85 million) on an annualised basis.

Gross letting including re-negotiated contracts was 44 million in the quarter of which 12 million is attributable to letting in the project portfolio. Lease contracts with a total value of 14 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 10 million (81 million). 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. Effects from letting in the project portfolio can be found in the project table under the section Investments and Divestments.

The increase in property cost for the first half year of 2017 compared to last year is mainly due to the introduction of property tax in Oslo in 2017 which for the first six months was about 13 million.

Net operating income

As a consequence of the effects explained above, net operating income came in at 476 million (421 million) in the quarter and 965 million (850 million) for the first six months of 2017.

Other revenues and other costs

Other revenues was 129 million (54 million) in the quarter and 190 million (113 million) for the first six months of 2017. In the quarter, 103 million is related to Youngskvartalet in Oslo which is classfied as a construction contract. Year to date 2017, the revenue recognised is 153 million. Until the project is delivered to the buyer, the Group will recognise other revenue and other costs based on the completion level. Other costs associated with the project amounted to 102 million in the quarter and

150 million in the first six months. In addtion, 16 million in other income relates to the newbuild project in Kongsgaard Alle 20 in Kristiansand which is sold and Entra will complete before the property is deliverd to the buyer. The project is classified as a construction contract with corresponding cost of 13 million in the quarter and year to date 2017.

As a result of the final settlement agreement regarding the sale of Gullfaks in Stavanger that was closed during Q4 2016, Entra recognised approximately 18 million as reduction of other costs in Q2 2017.

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

The increase in results from associates and JVs year to date 2017 compared to last year is explained by positive value change particularly in Entra OPF and Sundtkvartalet in the first quarter. The value changes in 2017 are related to signing of new lease contracts in the ongoing project in Lars Hillesgate 30 (MCB) in Bergen, and a new lease contract combined with the completion of the project in Sundtkvartalet in Oslo.

For a more detailed breakdown of the results from associates and JVs see the section on Partly owned companies.

Net realised financials is at the same level as the same period last year. The interest-bearing debt has increased with approximately 2.4 billion since 30.06.16 but this has been offset as the Group has decreased its average interest rate to 3.25 per cent (3.59 per cent) as at 30.06.17. The decrease in the average interest rate is mainly explained by lower market interest rates on floating rate debt.

Net income and net income from property management

Value changes

The valuation of the property portfolio resulted in a net positive value change of 1,078 million (567 million) in the quarter and 1,947 million (749 million) for the first six months of 2017. In the second quarter, about 510 million of the value changes is attributable to a further yield compression primarily in the Oslo portfolio. In addition, increased market rent in the Oslo market contributes to a value change of about 360 million in the quarter. Value changes of 100 million are related to transactions in Kristiansand and Oslo in the quarter. 40 million is the result of new contracts signed in the quarter, and about 70 million relates to the current project portfolio as each project is moving towards completion and the underlying project risk is reduced. The remaining changes are related to terminations of contracts and other property related changes.

For the first six months, the value changes in the property portfolio is mainly attributable to yield compression and increased market rent in Oslo, value changes in the current project portfolio and value changes as a result of new and renegotiated lease contracts.

Net changes in value of financial instruments was 36 million (- 41 million) in the quarter and 35 million (- 203 million) for the first six months of 2017. The positive development is mainly explained by reduced time to maturity on interest rate swaps. Year to date the value change is somewhat offset by termination costs of 12 million for two swap contracts that were terminated in the first quarter of 2017.

Tax

The change in deferred tax was 195 million (187 million) in the quarter and 453 million (250 million) in the first half of 2017. Tax payable of 5 million year to date 2017 is related to the partly owned entity Papirbredden in Drammen. The current tax rate is 24 per cent. However, the effective tax rate is less than

the corporate income tax, mainly due to sales of properties without tax effect.

The Group, except for the partly owned company Papirbredden, is currently not in a tax payable position due to tax loss carry forward. At year-end 2016, the tax loss carry forward for the Group was 953 million.

Profit

Profit before tax was 1,446 million (790 million) in the quarter and 2,748 million (1,074 million) for the first six months of 2017. Profit after tax was 1,246 million (603 million) in the quarter and 2,290 million (824 million) year to date 2017 which also equals the comprehensive income for the period.

EPRA Earnings

EPRA Earnings amounted to 256 million (191 million) in the second quarter of 2017 and 483 million (388 million) year to date 2017. The increase in EPRA earnings in the second quarter of 2017 is mainly related to increased rental income.

EPRA Earnings before tax amounted to 305 million (243 million) in the second quarter 2017 and 601 million (506 million) year to date 2017.

Further information about the EPRA Earnings calculations can be found on page 29.

Entra has agreed to purchase the remaining 50 per cent of Sundtkvartalet, and the transaction will be closed on 30 September 2017.

Long-term receivables was 202 million (69 million) year to date 2017. The increase is mainly related to a rent compensation arising from the agreement entered into in relation with the planned new-build in Tullinkvartalet. The corresponding net rent liability is recorded as an "other non-current liability". See note 21 in annual report 2016 for further information.

Other receivables was 651 million (272 million) at the end of the second quarter 2017 of which Youngskvartalet amounts to 478 million. The increase in other receivables since year end is

affected by capitalised construction costs of 150 million, of which 102 million is capitalised in the second quarter of 2017, related to the property in Youngskvartalet that will be delivered to the buyer in the fourth quarter of 2017. Other receivables also include 16 million related to the newbuild project in Kongsgård Allé 20 in Kristiansand which Entra will complete before the property is deliverd to the buyer.

Cash flow statement

Net cash flow from operating activities came to 216 million (201 million) in the quarter and 467 million (477 million) for the first six months of 2017. The change mainly relates to higher net income from property management partly offset by negative working capital movements.

The net cash flow from investments was 270 million (-191 million) in the quarter and -157 million (-338 million) for the first six months of 2017. Proceeds from property transactions of 838 million (103 million) in the quarter and 989 million (266 million) year to date 2017 was mainly related to sale of the Kristiansand portfolio and Akersgata 32.

The net change in cash and cash equivalents was -241 million (22 million) in the quarter and -103 million (-54 million) for the first six months of 2017.

Financing

During the second quarter, Entra's total interest-bearing nominal debt decreased by 395 million to 17,617 million. The reduction in interest-bearing debt was mainly due to settlement of non-core asset divestments. The change in interest-bearing debt comprised an increase in commercial paper financing of 600 million and a reduction in bank and bond financing of 216 and 779 million, respectively.

In the quarter, Entra reopened its second green bond issue with 250 million, bringing the total green bond funding up to 2.000 million. Commercial paper loans were issued with a total of 1.600 million. Further, Entra has refinanced existing bank loans of 1.250 million into a new five-year revolving credit facility.

Interest bearing debt and maturity structure

As at 30.06.17 net interest-bearing nominal debt after deduction of liquid assets of 139 million was 17,478 million (15,039 million).

The average remaining term for the Group's debt portfolio was 4.7 years at 30.06.17 (4.8 years as at 30.06.16). 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, 78 per cent (71 per cent) of the Group's financing was from the capital markets.

The property portfolio

Entra´s management portfolio consists of 76 buildings with a total area of approximately 1.0 million square meters. As of 30.06.17, the management portfolio had a market value of around 35 billion. The occupancy rate was 97.7 per cent (95.4 per cent). The weighted average unexpired lease term for the Group's leases was 6.8 years (7.1) for the management portfolio and 7.7 years (7.4) when the project portfolio is included. The public sector represents approximately 69 per cent of the total customer portfolio. The entire property portfolio consists of 85 properties with a market value of about 37.5 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 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.

Status ongoing project

Entra is refurbishing Block 1 and 2 at Kjørbo into two new Powerhouses with BREEAM Excellent classification. Both blocks are 100 per cent pre-let to Norconsult. Block 1 is 3,200 square meters and will be finished in November 2017. The refurbishment of 3,950 sqm in Block 2 was started up in the quarter and is expected to be finished in October 2018. During the quarter Entra also finalized the refurbishment of 4,200 sqm in Block 3 at Kjørbo which is 54 % let to Norconsult.

"Trondheimsporten" is a new-build project located in Holtermanns veg 70 in Trondheim. When completed, the property will be a 15-floor office building of approximately 28,600 square meters. The property is 94 per cent pre-let to Trondheim municipality, the Norwegian Directorate of Health and the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration on 10 year contracts. The building is expected to be finalised during the fourth quarter of 2017 with a BREEAM Very Good classification.

On Brattørkaia 16, Entra is building a 10,500 square meter 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. Construction has commenced, and the project will be finalised in the summer 2018.

On Brattørkaia 17 A, Entra will build Powerhouse Brattørkaia. This is an energy positive and environment friendly office building of approximately 18,200 square meters, of which a 2,500 square metres parking basement. The property is 48 per cent pre-let. Powerhouse Brattørkaia will utilise sun and sea water for heating and cooling. The building will be covered by 3,000 square meters 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 and 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. Construction has commenced, and the project will be finalised in the first quarter of 2019.

In Tullinkvartalet Entra has ongoing construction of a new 21,000 square meters 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 final zoning plan was approved on 1 February 2017, and the project will be finalised in the end of 2019. Ongoing activities are engineering, planning, demolishing and ground works. The new-build project aims for a BREEAM Excellent classification.

Media City Bergen involves total renovation of approximately 35,000 square meters and an extension of approximately 10,000 square meters in Lars Hilles gate 30 in Bergen. The vision behind the concept is to create an environment for innovation and knowledge development within the media industry, through establishing a cluster of media, technology, education and research companies. The largest media companies such as TV2, NRK, Bergensavisen, Bergens Tidende, the Media Faculty of Bergen University, and Vizrt have signed lease contracts. The property is 50 per cent owned by Entra through Entra OPF. The project will be completed in August 2017 and is 84 per cent pre-let.

Youngskvartalet in Oslo involves both a new building and refurbishment of three existing buildings. The project consists of 9,400 square metres and will be finalised in Q4 2017. 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.

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 more than NOK 30 billion. The market is active and the number of transactions that has been executed so far in 2017 is record high. Demand from both national and international investors remains strong, and the transaction volume estimate for 2017 is NOK 80 billion 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. The strong residential market also results in high demand for office properties that can be converted to residential use, which has brought a new set of investors into the office transaction market. The overall high level of demand for Norwegian real estate has caused prime yield to remain stable at around 3.8 per cent, despite the increase in long term interest rates seen in the second half of 2016.

Market data Oslo

The Oslo office vacancy is expected to drop to around 7 per cent by the end of the year due to continuous office-toresidential conversion, low construction activity in the office market in Oslo, and a slight increase in employment. Modern, centrally located office premises are especially attractive.

According to Arealstatistikk and Entra's consensus report, there has been a broad uplift in rent levels over the last quarters. Rent levels are expected to continue to grow due to a tight market for supply of office space.

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. The office vacancy in Bergen is mainly related to properties situated around the oil and gas intensive office areas at Kokstad, Sandsli and Flesland. Rents in the city centre of Bergen has increased due to low supply of modern, centrally located office premises.

In Stavanger, overall office vacancy has levelled out at around 11 per cent at the end of 2016. 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 5 per cent and rent levels are more stable. The construction activity is low.

The overall office vacancy In Trondheim has levelled out at around 10 per cent. The volume of new office space will increase in 2018-19. Increasing demand and some office-toresidential conversion is expected to prevent vacancy to increase. Rent levels in city centre have increased, while there is a downward pressure on rents in the fringe areas.

Other information

Organisation and HSE

At 30.06.17 the Group had 149 employees, reduced from 166 at year-end 2016, primarily as a result of the establishment of a jointly controlled entity Hinna Park Facility Management AS. During the quarter there were zero 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 of 2.6 at the end of the quarter vs 2.6 at the end of the first 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

On 5 July 2017, Entra signed an agreement to acquire Skanska Commercial Development's ("Skanska") 50 per cent share of Sundtkvartalet in Oslo, and thus become single owner of the property. The transaction is based on a property value of NOK 1,590 million, and closing will take place on 30 September 2017. Sundtkvartalet is a new office property of 31,300 square meters which was finalised in December 2016. The development of the property has been organised through a joint venture where Entra and Skanska owns 50 per cent each.

The Board has decided to pay out a semi-annual dividend of NOK 2.0 per share for the first half of 2017. The dividend will be paid out on 12 October 2017 to the shareholders as of 3 October 2017.

Share and shareholder information

Entra's share capital is NOK 183,732,461 divided into 183,732,461 shares, each with a par value of NOK 1 per share. Entra has one class of shares and all shares provide equal rights, including the right to any dividends.

Outlook

The Norwegian economy has been influenced by a weaker macroeconomic development and general uncertainty, but there has been continuous positive development in certain key macro indicators over several quarters.

The downturn in the oil sector and related industries primarily had a negative impact in the southern and western part of Norway. Sub markets with a high level of oil exposure experienced increasing vacancies and pressure on rents. The downturn turned into a moderate recovery during 2016.

Oslo constitutes around 70 per cent of Entra's revenues. Here, we expect vacancy levels to see a falling trend going forward as net new office space coming into the market in 2017 and 2018 is marginal due to low new building activity and high conversion from commercial to residential buildings. Decreasing vacancy is thus expected to lead to increasing market rent levels in Oslo going forward.

Modern offices located near public transportation are attractive and obtain solid rents compared to premises located in less central areas.

Market interest rates for longer dated maturities have stabilised following the increasing trend seen in the second half of 2016. There is risk for a further increase from the current historically low levels. However, Entra with its strong balance sheet, predictable cash flow and well-balanced interest rate hedge position is in a good position to secure favourable financing also going forward.

Property investors seek quality properties with good locations and long and secure cash flows. The yield compression in the Norwegian market is expected to 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, 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.

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).
