LETTER FROM THE CEO

Building Momentum

As we step into the new year, we now have the full picture for 2024. While we monitor the activity in the shopping centers throughout the year, the fourth quarter - particularly the holiday shopping season - remains the most significant and exciting period, playing a crucial role in determining how the year ultimately unfolds.

The fourth quarter closed with a revenue growth of 1,0 %. Once again, we observed the growing trend where an increasing share of holiday shopping extends into November. This shift led to a flat December, but simultaneously, we saw a strong 2,7 % growth in turnover for the period from mid-November to Christmas Eve compared to the previous year.

For the full year, our shopping center portfolio achieved tenant revenue of NOK 8,9 billion, reflecting a 1,4 % increase from 2023. Initially, revenue growth expectations were cautious due to economic uncertainty and reduced consumer purchasing power amid high living costs. However, as the retail industry developed positively throughout the year, we revised our expectations upwards. While we would have liked to see stronger growth, considering the significant renovations, tenant relocations, and store closures for upgrades across our centers in 2024, we are nonetheless satisfied with the overall performance and the resilience shown throughout the year.

We are pleased to report a significant increase in visitor numbers to our centers, with footfall growing by 1,7 % in 2024. This growth reflects the success of our ongoing efforts to revitalize and enhance both our spaces and offerings, making them more attractive to customers. December was particularly strong, with a remarkable 2,6 % rise in visitor numbers.

A key achievement in Q4 was successfully securing the refinancing of our second-largest bank loan, which has been extended for an additional two years, starting

in January 2025. With this agreement now in place, we have eliminated any short-term loan maturities. We are pleased to see continued support from our financial partners, and we are confident that the evolving financial landscape, along with our solid operational performance, will lead to a significant improvement in our credit margins.

Furthermore, the two solar power installations at Alti Gulskogen and Alti Buskerud are now fully operational, expected to produce 3 GWh of energy annually. This investment supports our sustainability goals, reduces energy costs, and enhances the appeal of our centers to eco-conscious consumers and tenants.

The occupancy rate continues to increase, and we've opened several new stores over the past year, with even more introduced in the fourth quarter. While there are still some spaces to be filled following the renovations at Alti Vinterbro, we are optimistic about attracting new tenants to the center in the coming year. The market for new establishments remains strong, and we are seeing interest from both existing and new retailers. Significant changes have taken place in our tenant mix throughout 2024, and we are excited for the further developments expected in the year ahead.

As we move into 2025, we remain optimistic about continued growth. The anticipated real wage increase and reduction in consumers' living costs, along with the ongoing enhancements to our shopping center portfolio, put us in a strong position to build on this momentum in the year ahead.

Financial developments

Rental income

Gross rental income in the quarter was NOK 148 million, up 2 % from Q4 2024 (NOK 146 million). For 2024, gross rental income amounted to NOK 587 million (NOK 575 million). This represents a like-for-like growth in income of 2 % year to date.

Rental income in 2024 is affected by construction projects at both Alti Vinterbro and Alti Gulskogen. This has led to tenants having to close temporarily, and new tenants have also moved in. Alti Vinterbro has remodeled its second floor to achieve better customer flow, while at Alti Gulskogen, we have removed a parking lot and are establishing a square for the benefit of the local community.

Property related operational expenses and administrative expenses

Property related operational expenses consist of owner´s share of shared costs, maintenance, leasehold insurance, and other direct property cost. These amounted to NOK 17 million for the quarter (NOK 18 million) and NOK 69 million (NOK 63 million) for the full year. These costs also show larger maintenance items as a result of expensed tenant adjustments. Please see note 5 for further information.

Administrative expenses were NOK 7 million (NOK 7 million). This represents the fee paid to Alti Forvaltning AS for managing the eight shopping centers in the Aurora portfolio.

Administrative expenses were NOK 29 million (NOK 28 million).

Other operating income and expenses

Other operating income and expenses consists of income and expenses not related to the properties, such as provision and consultancy and auditing fees. These costs amounted to NOK 3 million in the quarter / NOK 13 million full year (NOK 1 million / NOK 7 million). Some of the increase in other expenses can be attributed to one-off costs relating to changes in group structure.

EPRA Net Reinstatement Value (NRV): the objective of this metric is to highlight the value of net assets on a long term-basis, assuming that no selling of assets takes place.

EPRA Net Tangible Assets (NTA): the calculation assumes entities buy and sell assets, thereby crystallising certain levels of deferred tax liability. Aurora Eiendom has chosen option (iii) in the EPRA BPR Guidelines. In this calculation 50% of the deferred taxes are added back.

EPRA Net Disposal Value (NDV) provides the reader with a scenario where deferred tax, financial instruments and certain other adjustments are calculated to the full extent of their liability, net of any resulting tax, this to illuatrate shareholder value in a scenario of orderly sale of all the company´s assets.
