Underlying like-for-like growth on the lease contracts was 2.2 per cent from Q2 2014 to Q2 2015.
Other operating revenue amounted to NOK 27 million, compared to NOK 60 million in the same period in 2014 resulted from lower sales of apartments in Q2 2015 compared to the same quarter last year.

The valuation of the property portfolio resulted in a net positive value change of NOK 178 million, compared to NOK 268 million in the second quarter of 2014. The positive value change is mainly attributable to project portfolio and signing of new and renegotiated contracts.
Net realised financial expenses amounted to NOK 245 million (NOK 160 million), of which NOK 115 million relates to fees for terminating a swap portfolio of NOK 2 billion ultimo June 2015. The underlying reduction in realised financial expenses results from the Group having reduced its borrowings compared to Q2 2014. In addition, lower market interest rates on floating rate debt and the expiry of high interest rate hedging agreements has contributed to lower realised financial expenses.
The net unrealised value change on financial instruments was NOK 344 million in the quarter versus minus NOK 157 million in Q2 2014.

Underlying likefor-like growth on the lease contracts was 1.8 per cent from H1 2014 to H1 2015.
Other operating revenue amounted to NOK 192 million, compared to NOK 72 million in the same period in 2014 resulted from lower sales of apartments in H1 2015 compared to the same period last year.

The net income from property management amounted to NOK 713 million (NOK 706 million) for the first half of 2015.
The valuation of the property portfolio resulted in a net positive value change of NOK 893 million, compared to NOK 270 million in the first half of 2014. The positive value change is mainly attributable to yield compression for centrally located properties in the Oslo region, sales of the properties in Østfold and Lillestrøm in Q1 2015 and signing of new and renegotiated contracts during the period.
Net realised financial expenses amounted to NOK 394 million (NOK 318 million), of which NOK 115 million relates to fees for terminating a swap portfolio of NOK 2 billion ultimo June 2015. The underlying reduction in realised financial expenses results from the Group having reduced its borrowings compared to the first half year of 2014. In addition, lower market interest rates on floating rate debt and the expiry of high interest rate hedging agreements has contributed to lower realised financial expenses.
The net unrealised value change on financial instruments was NOK 423 million in the first half year of 2015 versus minus NOK 271 million in the first half of 2014. The positive development is mainly due to higher long-term market interest rates, reduced time to maturity of the existing high interest rate swaps and termination of interest rate swaps with a market value of MNOK 115.
The profit before tax was NOK 1,677 million (NOK 415 million) in the first half of 2015, while total comprehensive income after tax in the period was NOK 1,454 million (NOK 315 million).

The project, aiming for BREEAM classification Excellent, has an estimated completion date in Q3 2016.
In Sundtkvartalet in Oslo, a new, environmentally leading office building of approximately 31,000 square metres is under construction. Assembling of precast concrete has started. The ambition is to obtain BREEAM classification Excellent, a passive building with Energy class A. The project is organised through a jointly-controlled company where Skanska and Entra own 50 per cent each. Skanska is the building contractor and has signed a lease for approximately 8,000 square metres in the building.
In Lars Hilles gate 30 (MediaCity Bergen), internal demolition is the main ongoing activity, which has been completed in two out of three towers. This building comprises 45,000 square metres and will house the largest media companies in Bergen. The project will include the total renovation of the existing 35,000 square metres and an extension of 10,000 square metres.

TV2, NRK, Bergensavisen, Bergens Tidene, the Media Faculty of Bergen University, and the graphics company Vizrt have signed lease contracts, and the letting process for the remaining areas has started. The property will be a signature building and will be an important part of the development around Nygårdstangen in Bergen. The property is owned by the jointly controlled entity Entra OPF Utvikling AS where Entra and Oslo Pensjonsforsikring own 50 per cent each.
At Strømsveien 96 in Oslo the refurbishment of 18,000 square meters, of which 12,500 sqm office, has started. Norwegian Medicines Agency will be one of the tenants with 6,500 square metres. The project has an ambition to
obtain the classification BREEAM Very Good and will obtain energy class B. The refurbishment will be completed in December 2017.
Phase two of the project in Fredrik Selmersvei 4 has started up. The project involves completing remaining interior works on 7,400 sqm in one of the blocks, of which 3,700 sqm is let to Norwegian Tax Administration. The project will be completed in the first quarter of 2016.
The new office building in Schweigaardsgate 16 in Oslo was finalised in the quarter. The building consists of 15,500 square metres and 12,100 sqm was handed over to the tenant Statoil Fuel & Retail in the end of June 2015. Dinamo Norge will occupy another 1,500 sqm in August 2015. Letting processes are ongoing for the remaining vacant space (second floor and a small retail space on the ground floor). The project has an ambition to obtain the classification BREEAM Excellent. The building has been designed with 100 per cent LED lighting, and will obtain energy class B.
Papirbredden Eiendom AS and Hinna Park Eiendom AS are consolidated in the Group's financial statements and Entra OPF Utvikling AS, Oslo S Utvikling AS and Sundtkvartalet Holding AS are accounted for applying the equity method.
Entra Eiendom AS and Drammen Municipality own Papirbredden Eiendom AS. The company owns the properties Grønland 51, Grønland 56, Grønland 58, Grønland 60 and Kreftingsgate 33 in Drammen. All the existing buildings are 100 per cent let.
The construction of Papirbredden 3 on parts of the site Grønland 51 in Drammen is ongoing, as described under the project development section above.
Zoning work is continuing for the property Kreftingsgate 33 in Drammen.
Entra owns 50 per cent of the shares in Hinna Park Eiendom AS (since 1 February 2014). The remaining 50 per cent is owned by Camar Eiendom AS.
Hinna Park Eiendom AS owns the management properties Jåttåvågeveien 18 (Troll), Jåttåvågeveien 7 (Blokk C) and Laberget 22 (Fjordpiren) and the parking garage Gullhallen. Hinna Park Eiendom AS also owns the ongoing development project Gullfaks as described under the project development section above as well as development potential for two new office properties totalling around 29,300 sqm.
Entra and Oslo Pensjonsforsikring (OPF) own the jointly controlled enterprise Entra OPF Utvikling AS. The company owns the properties Lars Hilles gate 30 and Allehelgens gate 6 in Bergen.
The property Lars Hilles gate 30 is under development and is described under the project development section above. The property Allehelgens gate 6 is fully let to Hordaland politidistrikt.
According to the agreement between Entra and Oslo Pensjonsforsikring, Entra OPF Utvikling AS is not to be financed with debt, and any capital requirements in addition to the company's ongoing profits are to be financed with equity contributions from the owners. In addition the contract provides that the company as a general rule will distribute the previous year's profit after providing for any capital requirements in the year in which the distribution is made.
Entra and Skanska Commercial Development Norway Holding AS own the jointly controlled enterprise Sundtkvartalet Holding AS. The company will build a new office building of approximately 31,000 square meters in Lakkegata/Vahlsgate as described under the project development section above.
OSU is a property development company that is undertaking the development of parts of the city district Bjørvika in Oslo. OSU is developing around 350,000 square metres above ground and around 105,000 square metres below ground, of which approximately 177,000 square metres above ground and approximately 70,000 square metres below ground has been developed.
OSU's strategy of developing properties for sale means that the properties are not recorded in the financial statements at fair value, but at historical cost. In the consolidated financial statements the investment is included using the equity method, and equity after tax is recorded at NOK 591 million in the consolidated financial statements as at 30.06.2015.
The market value of the properties and projects in OSU is estimated at approximately NOK 3.5 billion (100 per cent). Entra's ownership of 33.33 per cent gives a market value of NOK 1.2 billion. The estimate is based on corresponding principles to those used for Entra's other valuations of investment properties. Entra's share of the net asset value as at 30.06.2015 was NOK 0.8 billion after taking into account estimated latent deferred tax of 10 per cent.
Commercial property transactions in Norway during the first six months of 2015 were approximately NOK 40-45 billion, up from around NOK 22 billion in the same period in 2014. The transaction market is active and driven by favourable financing terms and low return on alternative investments. Even though longer market interest rates are increasing somewhat yields have continued to contract during the quarter. International investors are still the largest net buyers of property in Norway. The foreign share of transaction values in the Norwegian property market was around 50 per cent in the first half of 2015 compared to around 20 percent in 2014. The interest for modern and central properties close to transportation hubs is still high. Prime yield has continued to contract in the quarter and is now down to 4.3 % according to Entra's consensus report.

Office vacancy is increasing slightly in all of Entra´s markets, due to slower economic growth and supply of new office space. In Stavanger and in oil and gas dominated areas in general, subletting is increasing due to staff reduction. Rent levels for modern and centrally located properties are however still stable.
Office vacancy in Oslo has increased to above 8 per cent. Vacancy is highest in western part of Oslo where the oil and gas companies are dominant and among older less efficient office buildings. Pressure on rents resulting from increasing vacancies is observed. However, rents for modern offices in the city centre remain stable around NOK 3,000 per square metre.
Office vacancy in Bergen is around 8 per cent. Vacancy is highest in the oil and gas intensive areas at Sandsli and Kokstad. Rents for modern offices in central Bergen remain stable around NOK 2,200 per square metre.
In Trondheim, office vacancy is around 7 per cent. Rent levels outside the city centre are slightly down, while rent levels of modern office premises in central Trondheim remain unchanged. Modern centrally located premises in Trondheim obtain rents of approximately NOK 2,000 per square metre.
Office vacancy in Stavanger has increased to above 9 per cent. The vacancy is highest in the oil and gas dominated Forus area. The rent level for high standard, modern office premises located in the city centre and at Hinna Park is slightly down to around NOK 2,000 - 2,300 per square metre.

At 30 June 2015 the Group had 162 employees, of whom 15 are employed in Hinna Park AS.
During the quarter there were zero lost time injuries. Entra has implemented several initiatives to improve the HSE situation 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 3.6 as at the end of the period, down from 5.8 at the end of the previous quarter.
The Group is exposed to financial risk through considerable level of 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 various interest 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 deadlines and costs.
There has for some time been a deviation between the rent adjustment on leases entered into (CPI) and the increase in building costs, a factor which it has been important to take into account when planning and implementing projects. This difference is expected to be less in the future.
There has been no significant events after the balance sheet date.

A weaker macro-economic development is expected in Norway. The current economic situation with lower oil prices is leading to higher unemployment and increased uncertainty.
Office vacancies have increased slightly despite the relatively low volume of new buildings being completed. 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 long lease contracts with solid tenants and a low exposure towards the oil sector.
As seen in previous periods, modern offices located near public transportation still attract tenants and obtain solid rents compared to premises located in fringe areas. Rent levels are expected to decrease slightly in 2015 but to see a positive trend from 2016.
Entra is experiencing a favourable credit market environment with high willingness to lend and low interest rates combined with attractive and stable credit margins. Entra expects these market conditions to continue.
Property investors seek quality properties with good locations and/ or long and secure cash flows. International investors have been particularly active in the Norwegian market so far in 2015 driving transaction volumes record high.
The yield compression that has been observed throughout the last quarters is expected to level out in the second half of 2015. For Entra's portfolio this should imply continued positive value development, albeit at a slower pace.

The results for the period have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
Except for the accounting principle applied for the newly introduced employee share-based saving scheme, 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 2014.
Sales of shares to employees in the share saving scheme are reported in accordance with IFRS 2 "Share-based payments". The recognised discount is calculated as the difference between market price and purchase price at the time of purchase, taking into account the agreed lock-in period for the shares. The effect of the agreed lock-in period is calculated as the value of a put option using the Black-Scholes model. The discount is recognised as payroll expenses at the time of allocation. The assumptions relating to volatility are based on the actual fluctuations in the price of Entra´s shares.
The financial reporting covers Entra ASA, subsidiaries, associated companies and jointly controlled entities. The interim financial statements have not been audited.
Information reported to the chief operating decision maker for the purpose of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as for the Group's accounting policies.

Entra is currently involved in legal or arbitration proceedings or disputes with Norwegian Datasenter Group AS, Greenfield Property AS, Evry ASA/Evry AS, Skanska Norge AS and Caverion Norge AS. Refer to the annual report 2014 for further explanations regarding these proceedings.
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 will take place in October this year.
The hearing of the dispute with Evry ASA/Evry AS took place in Oslo District Court in February 2015 and Evry ASA/Evry AS prevailed. Entra disagree with the verdict and the ruling has been appealed.
The hearing of the dispute with Skanska took place in Gulating Court of Appeal and Entra prevailed on all counts. Entra is as such awarded a compensation of approximately NOK 14 million. The appeal deadline to the Supreme Court expires in September 2015.
Entra has not made any provision for the claims as the Group considers it not probable that an outflow of resources involving economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation.
The Board of Entra ASA has decided to establish a share saving scheme in 2015, offering all employees, including management, the opportunity to purchase shares in Entra ASA at a 20 per cent discount. The shares are subject to twoyear 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 2015 less a 20 per cent discount. Total subscription amounted to NOK 4.9 million after discount.
Entra has acquired in Q2-15 a total of 83,129 of its own shares. The total amount paid to acquire the shares was NOK 6.1 million. All shares were sold to the employees in connection with the share saving scheme to employees in June 2015. The Group has expensed NOK 0.5 million in the income statement.
The valuation methods and principles are unchanged in the quarter. See the annual financial statements for 2014 for further information. Set out below is a summary of financial instruments divided between the different valuation hierarchies set out in IFRS 7.
With the exception of equity capital instruments of NOK 0.6 million (level 3) all financial instruments are level 2.
