1 AURORA Q2 2025 REPORT
The macroeconomic backdrop in Norway is offering encouraging signals for the retail sector. Easing inflation and the first interest rate cut in five years have started to lift consumer sentiment, while persistently low unemployment and expected wage growth of 4,4 percent are set to increase household purchasing power. Although the tenant mix in shopping centres makes the segment less sensitive to economic cycles than many other industries, these macroeconomic factors provide a solid basis for optimism in the second half of the year.
The second quarter delivered another period of solid, stable performance, mirroring the first, with steady footfall and YoY growth in tenant turnover of 2,4 percent, broadly in line with inflation. As the third quarter began, however, we saw momentum accelerate: the positive effects of an improving macroeconomic climate were amplified by a July heatwave, which spurred new consumer needs and higher demand. As a result, July saw visitor numbers rise by 4,7 percent and tenant turnover increase by 6,5 percent.
Demand for quality retail space remains strong, reflecting both resilient tenant confidence and the continued attractiveness of our centres. In the second quarter, lease expiries totalled 1 213 m², while new agreements were signed for 1 141 m² at an average term of 5,2 years. We also renewed 2 625 m² of existing leases, extending average duration by 4,1 years. While interest in space is healthy, the process for new store openings is increasingly complex, often resulting in lengthier decision-making processes. This makes it even more important for us as a landlord to be well prepared, provide clear and timely information to our tenants, and initiate leasing processes at an earlier stage.
With rapid shifts in the financing market, optimising our loan portfolio has remained a top priority. After successfully refinancing our second-largest bank facility earlier this year, we entered into three new loan agreements in the second quarter, securing the refinancing of our largest loan—totalling approximately NOK 3 billion. The refinancing was completed and took effect on July 1st. As a result, the company's average loan margin was reduced. Combined with the recent policy rate cut, these improvements will deliver
meaningful savings in our financial expenses over the coming periods
Operationally, the second quarter was largely business as usual. However, a significant share of management's time and attention was directed toward the proposed delisting. After determining that the drawbacks of being listed outweighed the benefits, the Board announced the plan on 30 April. The proposal received strong shareholder support at the Annual General Meeting on 15 May, with 96 percent of votes in favour. Oslo Børs approved the application on 27 June, and the last day of trading will be 25 August.
Throughout this transition, our commitment to fair and transparent treatment of all shareholders large and small—remains unchanged. We will continue to deliver frequent and high-quality financial reporting, though with some adjustments: from the third quarter onwards, our reports will be published in Norwegian, with some adjustments to the format, and made available on the company website. Additionally, we are working to establish a mechanism to facilitate trading of shares after delisting and will share more information with shareholders as soon as this solution is in place.
Looking ahead, we are encouraged by the early signs of growth in the third quarter across our shopping centres, as well as the broader positive shifts in the market environment. With a strengthened financial position, a healthy leasing pipeline, and increased agility as a private company, we are well equipped to capture new opportunities and create lasting value for our tenants, visitors, and shareholders in the time to come.

Admininistrative expenses represent the management fee paid to Alti Forvaltning AS for mangagement of the shopping center portfolio. Alti Forvaltning AS also provides management services for the parent company Aurora Eiendom AS, the cost of which is included in the management fee. Board rem. was paid and invoiced by Alti Forvaltning AS
We are very pleased with Aurora Eiendom's performance over the past six months. Demand for premises in our shopping centres remains strong, and our tenants continue to see growth in turnover.
Aurora Eiendom delivered rental income of NOK 301 million in the first half of the year, an increase of 1,7 % compared to the same period last year. Net income from property management was in line with last year at NOK 246 million (NOK 247 million). We achieved a year-to-date pre-tax profit before value adjustments of NOK 126 million, up from NOK 117 million last year. Net income from property management was impacted by higher maintenance costs than in 2024, while the improved pre-tax profit was driven by lower market interest rates and margins on our debt portfolio.
Our partly owned management company, Alti Forvaltning, has kept a clear focus on supporting tenant success. Targeted and strategic efforts remain a priority to ensure an optimal tenant mix, tailored to each centre's profile and market needs.
At the same time, we have prioritised maintaining and developing our properties, making significant investments since acquisition. This has contributed to efficient operations and attractive properties – for both tenants and visitors.
We are seeing stable growth in tenant turnover in the first half, combined with a very high occupancy rate, which we consider a clear indication of a robust market and a strong property portfolio.
Norges Bank recently cut its policy rate for the first time since 2021, and long-term interest rates have also declined. We are also seeing a positive trend in bank margins and have refinanced a significant portion of our loan portfolio effective 1st July. Together, this results in lower interest costs, strengthening our financial position.
International trade is marked by uncertainty, tariff barriers, and disruptions in transport and supply chains. Combined with lower global growth and changing trade structures, this could affect the Norwegian economy and the retail sector in general. On the positive side, Norwegian unemployment remains low, and this year's wage settlements have increased purchasing power. Together with expected interest rate cuts ahead, this may improve household finances and support higher consumption.
With Alti Forvaltning's efficient operations and close follow-up of tenants, combined with Aurora Eiendom's solid financial position and attractive property portfolio, we have an excellent platform for further growth and success.
To the best of our knowledge, we declare that:

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.
