Entra ASA Q3 2015: High letting activity and significant value growth
Oslo, 29 October 2015 - Entra ASA recorded rental income of NOK 459 million in
Q3 2015 (NOK 448 million). Net income from property management was NOK 378
million (NOK 366) million) and profit before tax was NOK 681 million (NOK 528
million).
"I am satisfied with our financial and operational results. Entra's property
values have increased with NOK 522 million in the quarter and NOK 1,415 million
year to date as a result of solid project developments, positive letting
activities and higher valuations of our central Oslo properties", says Entra's
Chief Executive Arve Regland.
"We have signed several significant lease contracts and we are proud to have
finalised the renovation and new build project in Akersgata 34-36 in Oslo in the
quarter", Mr. Regland continues.
The rental income is positively affected by a NOK 30 million lease buy-out at
Langkaia 1 in Oslo. The underlying reduction in rental income quarter-on-quarter
results from the divestment of 10 non-core properties in Q4 2014 and Q1 2015.
The like-for-like rental growth on the lease contracts was 2.1 per cent from Q3
2014 to Q3 2015.
Entra had high letting activity and signed new and renegotiated leases with an
annual rent totalling NOK 94 million in the quarter. Net letting was NOK 19
millon, and increased rent on the renegotiated contracts was on average 7.4%.
