Reference

* See section "Calculation of key figures and definitions"

** 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.

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.

Value changes

The valuation of the property portfolio resulted in a net positive value change of 567 million (178 million) in the quarter and 749 million (893 million) for the first six months of 2016.

Letting activity

During the second quarter, Entra signed new and renegotiated leases with an annual rent totalling 110 million (37,000 square metres) and received notices of termination on leases with an annual rent of 18 million (8,000 square metres). The increase in rent from the total amount of renegotiated contracts signed within the quarter was 10.3 per cent. Net letting was 83 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.

For the first six months, new and re-negotiated contracts amounted to an annual rent of 188 million (76,000 square metres), while contracts with an annual rent of 28 million (12,000 metres) was terminated. Net letting in the first six months was 108 million.

Status ongoing project

At Strømsveien 96 in Oslo, the refurbishment of 18,100 square metres (12,500 sqm offices) is ongoing. Assembling of the facade and internal work are main activities in the period. The Norwegian Medicines Agency will be one of the tenants, letting approximately 6,500 square metres. The project aims to obtain a BREEAM Very Good classification and will obtain energy class B. The refurbishment will be completed in December 2016.

Cort Adelersgate 30 in Oslo will be refurbished during 2016. Entra has signed a 10 year lease contract with the Oslo Municipality Education Authority for 4,750 sqm and the building is fully let. Main activities in the period have been technical rooms and work on technical installations.

In December 2015, Entra purchased the development project "Trondheimsporten", a new-build project centrally located in Holtermanns veg 70 in Trondheim. When finalised, the property will be a 15-floor building of approx. 28,600 sqm. office/education and parking. The property is 77 per cent prelet to Trondheim municipality and the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration on 10-year contracts. The tenants have options to let the remaining areas in the building. Construction started in January 2016. The building is expected to be finalised during the third quarter of 2017 with a BREEAM Very Good classification. In the second quarter, there has been construction work in basement levels.

In April, construction work started at the third building block at Kjørbo (Powerhouse Kjørbo, Block 3) in Sandvika. The project is a refurbishment of 4,200 sqm and is 54 per cent pre-let to Asplan Viak. The project is designed as a Powerhouse and the aim is to achieve BREEAM Excellent classification.

In Sundtkvartalet in Oslo, a new, environmentally leading office building of approximately 31,300 square metres is under construction. Construction of the facade and internal works is currently ongoing. The ambition is to obtain a BREEAM

Excellent classification, a passive house with energy class A. The project is organised through a joint venture where Skanska and Entra own 50 per cent each. Skanska is the building contractor and has also signed a lease for approximately 8,000 square metres in the new property. A new lease contract with Norwegian Food Safety Authority (Mattilsynet) for 1,700 sqm and 10 years has been signed in the quarter.

In Lars Hilles gate 30 in Bergen (Media City Bergen), internal work is the main ongoing activity as well as work on technical rooms in basement levels. The project includes total renovation of approximately 35,000 square metres and an extension of approximately 10,000 square metres. 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/organisations. The largest media companies such as TV2, NRK, Bergensavisen, Bergens Tidene, the Media Faculty of Bergen University, and Vizrt have signed lease contracts. The property is 50 per cent owned by Entra through Entra OPF.

In July 2015, Wintershall exercised its option to acquire the property project Gullfaks in Stavanger when finalised in August 2016. Gullfaks is a 17,900 sqm office building under construction at Hinna Park in Stavanger. The transaction also includes part of an underground car park. The property is 50 per cent owned by Entra through Hinna Park Eiendom AS.

Youngskvartalet in Oslo involves both a new building and refurbishment of an existing building. The project consists of 9,400 sqm 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 value gain of 134 million. When finalised, Entra will deliver the project at cost plus a project management fee. Total project cost (incl. land) is approximately 340 million.

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 our four core markets; Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim and Stavanger. Target areas include 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 meet these acquisition criteria. Also, Entra actively divests smaller properties and properties outside its core markets. The acquisition and divestment strategy is flexible, allowing Entra to respond to market opportunities as they arise.

During Q2 2016 Entra has signed an agreement to buy three high quality office properties at Skøyen in Oslo from Norwegian Property ASA. The portfolio comprise about 61,000 sqm gross area, of which around 43,100 sqm office and 2,700 sqm retail. Total transaction price is approximately 2.5 billion and closing is expected to take place on 1 September 2016.

Entra has also acquired a land plot in Lars Hilles gate 25 in Bergen for 53 million. Current zoning allows a new-build of approximately 5,800 sqm but Entra has an ambition to increase this to a new office building of around 10,000 sqm.

In accordance with the strategy to divest non-core assets, Entra has sold the properties Kalfarveien 31 in Bergen, Fritzners gate 12 in Oslo and Telemarksgata 11 in Skien during the quarter for a total consideration of 149 million. The properties will be delivered to the buyers later in 2016.

Financial figures for the first six months of 2016 for partly owned entities and JVs (based on 100 % ownership)

Market development

Transaction volumes in 2016 have decreased with around 50 per cent compared to the same period in 2015 and is now down at more normalised levels compared to previous years. The high volumes in 2015 were driven by low interest rates, demand from foreign investors and several large portfolios being offered in the market. In 2016, there have been significantly fewer acquisition targets available, and, in addition, a tighter and more selective financing market

Prime yield is now down at 4 per cent, representing a reduction of about 10 bp since Q1-16. Prime yield is expected to remain at current historically low levels in the years to come according to Entra's consensus report.

Source: Entra Consensus report

Office vacancy in Oslo is expected to drop from 8.3 per cent in Q4 2015 to around 8 per cent by the end of 2016 according to Entra´s consensus report. The expected decrease in vacancy is explained by increasing employment, office to residential conversion and general low construction activity in 2016-17. There has been high activity in the letting market this spring. Rents for modern offices in the city centre remains stable at around 3,000 per square meter. Rent levels are expected to rise by 2-3 per cent in 2017-18 according to Entra´s consensus report.

In Bergen, Stavanger and Trondheim, the office vacancy seems to be levelling out at about 10 per cent. The negative impact from reduced activity in the oil and gas industry seems to be flattening out.

In Bergen, the office vacancy is mainly related to properties situated around the oil and gas intensive office areas at Kokstad / Sandsli / Flesland. In the city centre, low vacancy levels has led to relatively stable rents. Stavanger is still experiencing downward pressure on rent levels. In Trondheim, modern offices located in or near by city centre, are attractive and rents are stable. Outside the city centre, rent levels are experiencing downward pressure and the office vacancy is increasing due to high new building activity.

Overall, Entra is in a relatively good position having long lease contracts with solid tenants and a low exposure towards the oil and gas sector. Modern offices located near public transportation are attractive and obtain solid rents compared to premises located in less central areas.

Other information

Organisation and HSE

At 30.06.16, the Group had 161 employees. During the quarter, there were no 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 3.9 (4.0) at the end of the period.

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.

Business and strategic risks include the possible impact on the Group's operations of political decisions, regulations and significant unforeseen non-recurring events. Due to political changes in the city council in Oslo in 2015, Entra will be exposed to property tax on all its properties in Oslo, effective from 2017.

Entra carries out major upgrading and development projects involving risks in relation to deadlines and costs.

Outlook

The Norwegian economy is still influenced by a weaker macroeconomic development and general uncertainty even though one recently has seen positive development in certain key macro indicators. Brexit is causing general uncertainty but it is to early to predict how or even if Brexit will impact the Norwegian commercial real estate market and economy in general.

The downturn in the oil sector and related industries has primarily had a negative impact in the southern and western part of Norway, and sub markets with a high level of oil sector exposure are experiencing increasing vacancies and pressure on rents. Entra is in a relatively good position having low exposure to the geographical areas being hit by the downturn, long lease contracts with solid tenants and a low exposure towards the oil sector.

In Oslo, that constitutes more than 60 per cent of Entra's revenues, we expect vacancy levels to have peaked and to see a falling trend going forward as net new office space coming into the market during 2016 and 2017 is marginal due to low new building activity and high conversion from commercial to residential buildings. The slight decrease in market rent levels in previous quarters has flattened out, and we expect a positive trend from 2017.

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

The good credit availability and historically low market interest rates for all maturities has continued. The volatility and uncertainty in the financial markets is high, but Entra, with its strong balance sheet and predictable cash flow, is in a very 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 and value enhancing development projects should provide a continued positive 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.

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 2015.

The financial reporting covers Entra ASA, subsidiaries, associated companies and jointly controlled entities. The interim financial statements have not been audited.

In the first quarter of 2016 the Group did some changes to how the profit and loss statement is presented in order to better reflect the underlying operational results and to a greater extent be harmonised with how peer companies and equity analysts present their figures. The major changes are:

  • Stating a Net operating income (from property management)
  • Including Net realised financials in Net Income /Net income from property management
  • Including profit from associated and JVs in Net income
  • Establishing "Net income from property management" as Net income minus values changes and tax from associates and JVs and profit from the jointly controlled entity Oslo S Utvikling.

In addition, some changes in the balance sheet have been done in order to improve the presentation.

NOTE 2 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Group is organised into two geographic units: Oslo and Regional Cities. These units are supported by a Letting and Business Development division and a Development and Technology division. In addition, Entra has group and support functions within accounting and finance, legal, procurement, communication and HR.

Each of the geographic units are organised and monitored by management teams in seven geographic areas: Oslo, Trondheim, Sandvika, Stavanger, Drammen, Bergen and Kristiansand.

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 performance indicators are reported and analysed by geographic area to the chief operating decision maker for the purpose of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance. Hence, the Group report their segment information based upon these seven geographic areas.

Investment properties held for sale include the properties Telemarksgata 11/Lundegata 4 in Skien, Molovegen 10 in Bodø, Kalfarveien 31 in Bergen and Fritzners gate 12 in Oslo. During the second quarter of 2016 Entra has sold the properties Kalfarveien 31, Fritzners gate 12 and Telemarksgata 11. The properties are classified as held for sale until delivery to the buyers later in 2016.

Sale of investment properties relates to the sale of the property Strandveien 13 in Tromsø and Ringstabekkveien 105 in Bærum.

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 666 million (701 million) at the end of the second quarter of 2016. The Group records quarterly a negative value change on the property as the maturity date of the lease approaches.

NOTE 4 – CONTINGENCIES

Entra is currently involved in legal arbitration proceedings or disputes with Norwegian Datasenter Group AS/ Greenfield Property AS and Evry ASA.

The hearing of the dispute with Norwegian Datasenter Group AS and Greenfield Property AS took place in Oslo District Court in January 2015 and Entra prevailed on all counts. The judgment has been appealed by the counterparty and the hearing of the dispute will take place in February 2017.

The hearing of the dispute with Evry ASA AS took place in Oslo District Court in February 2015 and Evry ASA prevailed. Entra disagrees with the verdict and the ruling has been appealed. The hearing of the dispute will take place in October 2016.

Entra has not made any provision for the claims as the Group considers it not probable that an outflow of resources will be required.

NOTE 5 –SHARE SAVING SCHEME EMPLOYEES

The Board of Entra ASA has decided to continue the share saving scheme in 2016, offering all employees, including management, the opportunity to purchase shares in Entra ASA at a 20 per cent discount. The shares are subject to two-year lock-in period. The purchase price in the employee offering is calculated as the average share price the last 30 days (VWAP) until and including 29 May 2016 less a 20 per cent discount. Total subscription amounted to 7.5 million (4.9 million) after discount.

Entra has in Q2-16 acquired a total of 120 050 (83 129) of its own shares. The total amount paid to acquire the shares was 9,5 million (6.1 million). All shares were sold to the employees in connection with the share saving scheme to employees in June 2016. The Group has expensed 0.8 million (0.5 million) in the income statement and 1.2 million (0.8 million) against retained earnings in the second quarter of 2016.
