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.

AURORA Q4 2024 REPORT





* Gross turnover tenants Alti Amanda and Arkaden Senter includes Coop OBS! & Coop Extra which are not owned by Aurora. Gross turnover tenants Alti Vinterbro includes adjacent big-box retailers not owned by Aurora.

• Aurora's center portfolio had a turnover increase of 1,4 % in 2024

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 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. Alti Forvaltning AS provides management services to the parent company Aurora Eiendom AS, and the cost of this is included in the management fee. Administrative expenses were NOK 29 million (NOK 28 million).
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.
Net income from property management amounted to NOK 121 million in Q4 (NOK 120 million), and NOK 477 million in 2024 (NOK 477 million).
The fair value of the investment properties was adjusted by NOK 53 million this quarter, and in total NOK -16 million in 2024. The Group´s investment property portfolio consists of eight 100 % owned shopping centers and each individual property is valued by the external appraiser Colliers. The external valuator´s weighted valuation yield for the portfolio was nearly unchanged from in Q3 (6,46 %) to Q4 (6,45 %).
Aurora Eiendom AS has three associated companies:
The Group's share of profit in these companies amounted to NOK 6 million in Q4 and a full-year total of NOK 12 million in 2024. This figure includes amortisation of NOK 1,3 million of the excess book value on the shares in Alti Forvaltning per quarter (NOK 5,2 million full-year).
Financial income is mainly related to interest on bank deposits, and amounted to NOK 3 million in the and NOK 10 million YTD.
Aurora Eiendom manages interest rate risk through interest rate swaps, and swaptions. Market value and position of the interest swap agreements amounted to NOK 182 million by the end of the quarter. The market value of the swaptions amounted to NOK -2 million. The value change from Q3 for the interest rate derivatives portfolio was NOK 49 million, mainly explained by increased long-term interest rates by year-end.

* Option, but no obligation, for the bank to prolong existing interest rate swaps
Financial expenses, net of positive cash flow from swap agreements, amounted to NOK 67 million in the quarter (NOK 70 million). The expenses are mainly related to interest and fees on interest-bearing debt. Financial expenses are recognised using the amortised cost method. For the year 2024 financial expenses amounted to NOK 274 million (NOK 269 million).

The Group´s investment properties are pledged as security for the bank loans.
The Group's bank loans incorporate financial covenants related to minimum liquidity, loan-to-value and interest coverage ratio. Aurora Eiendom was in compliance with conditions in the credit agreements as of 31.12.2024.
The net change in cash and cash equivalents was NOK -60 million in 2024 (NOK -148 million), and cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period were NOK 119 million (NOK 179 million). The negative change in cash and cash equivalents are due to extensive investments and upgrades in Aurora´s investments properties in 2024. In 2023, Aurora Eiendom repaid a seller's credit from acquisitions completed the previous year, which explains the decline in cash reserves.

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.
