Strong position in a challenging period

Strong position in a challenging period

30.4.2020 07:00:00 CEST | Entra ASA | Additional regulated information required

to be disclosed under the laws of a member state

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Norway went into a partial lockdown from 12th

March 2020. All schools were closed, and everyone that could were asked to work

from home. Since then, Entra's top priority has been to safeguard life and

health and take responsibility for helping to reduce the spread of infection by

following the advice of national and local authorities. Since 20th April 2020,

Norway has started to gradually reopen.

Entra's rental income and results from property management has only to a limited

extent been impacted by the situation in the first quarter. Rental income came

in at 587 million in Q1 2020 compared to 585 million in Q1 2019. Net income from

property management was 357 million (375 million). External valuations obtained

as of Q1 2020 implied increasing the market value of the property portfolio with

1.2 bn, not taking into account any potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic

and recent oil price development. Due to the material uncertainty of the effects

of these events on the economy Entra has chosen to base the fair value of the

property portfolio on the valuations obtained as of year-end 2019. Net changes

in value of financial instruments was -337 million (-22 million) in the quarter,

mainly due to the recent sharp reduction in market interest rates leading to a

net liability increase on interest rate derivatives. Profit before tax came in

at 58 million (857 million) in the quarter.

Entra has signed new and renegotiated leases with annual rent totalling 86

million (36,400 sqm) in the quarter. As of 31.03.20 the portfolio occupancy was

97.4 per cent (96.3 per cent), and the average unexpired lease term of contracts

was 7.0 (7.2) years.

During the quarter, Entra finalised the new-build project Holtermanns veg 1-13

in Trondheim. The property is 11,700 sqm and is 98 per cent let.

Entra is in a robust situation with a solid tenant base and 58 per cent of

rental income from public tenants. Currently, Entra has available cash and

unutilized credit facilities amounting to 7.3 billion, more than 3x of all debt

falling due next 12 months. The debt portfolio is well diversified with a

staggered maturity profile.
