** Cash earnings in 2015 has been adjusted by 115 million due to termination of swap contracts in Q2-2015.

The termination fee was defined as a one-off item and did not reduce cash earnings as a basis for dividend for 2015.

*** Cash earnings definition changed from Q1-16 to also include net income from property management for JVs excluding Oslo S Utvikling. See definitions.

**** In 2016 Entra ASA started with semi-annual payments of dividends. Dividends in 2016 of 3.45 per share constitute of dividend approved and paid in 2016 for the first half year 2016

and dividend approved for second half of 2016, paid in May 2017. Dividend year to date Q3-17 relates to approved, not yet paid dividend.

Several of the numbers are marked as not applicable ("na") as the figures are not comparable either due to historical changes in the P&L or due to changes in the outstanding shares of Entra ASA.

Rental income

The Group's rental income was up by 6 per cent from 477 million in Q3 16 to 507 million in Q3 17 and can be explained by the factors in the income bridge below.

Like-for-like growth 19 51
Rental income 507 1 549

The increase in rental income from the third quarter last year is mainly driven by the acquisition of the Skøyen portfolio and the completion of the projects in Strømsveien 96 and Cort Adlers gate 30 in Oslo. The increase is offset by the sale of noncore properties during 2016 and 2017, especially the divestment of the Kristiansand portfolio in may 2017.

On a like-for-like basis the rental growth in the third quarter was 4.5 per cent of which the annual indexation of the lease contracts constituted 3.6 per cent. Near all of Entra´s lease contracts are 100 per cent linked to positive changes in CPI. The annual adjustment is mostly made on a November to November basis.

Average 12 months rolling rent per square meter was 1,999 (1,863) as of 30.09.2017. The increase is mainly related to portfolio rotations towards more high quality assets, hereunder the acquisitions of the Skøyen portfolio combined with divestments of non-core properties. The change from last year is also explained by increased rent levels related to high letting activity for the past years and to the completion of newbuild- and rehabilitation projects.

RENT (12M ROLLING) PER SQM AND OCCUPANCY RATE

Compared with the previous quarter the occupancy rate fell slightly to 97.2 per cent, mainly due to temporary vacancy pending the rehabilitation of the property Schweigaardsgate 15 in Oslo. The rental value of vacant space as of 30.09.17 was approximately 57 million (79 million) on an annualised basis.

Gross letting including re-negotiated contracts was 27 million in the quarter, mainly related to the management portfolio. Lease contracts with a total value of 2 million in annual leases were terminated in the quarter. Net letting, defined as new lease contracts plus lease-up on renegotiated contracts less terminated contracts, came in at 20 million (44 million). The time difference between net letting in the management portfolio in the quarter and its effect on the financial results is normally 6-12 months. Effects from letting in the project portfolio can be found in the project table under the section Investments and Divestments.

The increase in property cost for the first nine months of 2017 compared to last year is mainly due to the introduction of property tax in Oslo in 2017 which for the first nine months was about 19 million.

Net operating income

As a consequence of the effects explained above, net operating income came in at 468 million (435 million) in the quarter.

Other revenues and other costs

Other revenue was 26 million (71 million) in the quarter. 11 million is related to Youngskvartalet in Oslo which is classified as a construction contract. In addition, 12 million in other income relates to the newbuild project in Kongsgaard Allé 20 in Kristiansand which is sold and Entra will complete before the property is delivered to the buyer. Until the projects are delivered to the buyers, the Group will recognise other revenue and other costs based on the completion level.

The income from property management has increased to 6 million (3 million) in the quarter. The increase is mainly related to rent income from Lars Hilles gate 30 as the property was completed in the quarter.

The change in market value has increased in the quarter and year to date 2017 compared to last year and is explained by signing of new lease contracts and completion of the projects in Lars Hilles gate 30 (MCB) in Bergen and Sundtkvartalet in Oslo.

For a more detailed breakdown of the results from associates and JVs see the section on Partly owned companies.

Net realised financials

Net realised financials amounted to 133 million (145 million) in the quarter and is composed as follows:

The interest-bearing debt has been at a relatively stable level since 30.09.16 and the interest expenses are slightly lower in the quarter compared to last year as the Group has decreased its average interest rate to 3.21 per cent (3.41 per cent) as at 30.09.17. The decrease in the average interest rate is mainly explained by lower market interest rates on floating rate debt.

Net income and net income from property management

Net income came in at 331 million (315 million) in the quarter. When including only the income from property management in the results from JVs, net income from property management was 307 million (260 million) in the third quarter.

NET INCOME FROM PROPERTY MANAGEMENT PER SHARE

(Annualised, rolling 4 quarters)

Value changes

The valuation of the property portfolio resulted in a net positive value change of 682 million (374 million) in the quarter. About 220 million of the value changes is attributable to a further yield compression primarily in the Oslo portfolio. In addition, increased market rent in the Oslo market contributes to a value change of about 280 million in the quarter. 90 million is the result of new contracts signed in the quarter, and

about 110 million relates to the current project portfolio as each project is moving towards completion and the underlying project risk is reduced. The remaining changes are related to terminations of contracts and other property related changes.

Net changes in value of financial instruments was 18 million (68 million) in the quarter. The positive development is mainly explained by reduced time to maturity on interest rate swaps.

Tax

The change in deferred tax was 207 million (175 million) in the quarter. Tax payable of 6 million year to date is related to the partly owned entity Papirbredden in Drammen. The current tax rate is 24 per cent. However, the effective tax rate is less than the corporate income tax, mainly due to sales of properties without tax effect.

The Group, except for the partly owned company Papirbredden, is currently not in a tax payable position due to tax loss carry forward. At year-end 2016, the tax loss carry forward for the Group was 953 million.

Profit

Profit before tax was 1,031 million (757 million) in the quarter. Profit after tax was 823 million (582 million). Total comprehensive income was 813 million (562 million) for the period.

EPRA Earnings

EPRA Earnings amounted to 227 million (175 million) in the third quarter of 2017. The increase in EPRA earnings in the third quarter of 2017 is mainly related to increased net income from property management.

EPRA Earnings before tax amounted to 293 million (244 million) in the third quarter of 2017.

Further information about the EPRA Earnings calculations can be found on page 27.

Balance sheet

The Group's assets amounted to 42,112 million (38,178 million) as at 30.09.17.

Investments in associates and jointly controlled entities were 1,827 million (1,585 million). The increase is mainly attributable to capital increase of 200 million in the partly owned entity

Entra OPF and positive value changes in Entra OPF and Sundtkvartalet, partly offset by dividend of 50 million from Oslo S Utvikling. The amount was reduced by 142 million due to reclassification of Oslo City Parkering 2 AS as a subsidiary.

Entra has agreed to purchase the remaining 50 per cent of Sundtkvartalet, and the transaction was closed on 2 October 2017.

Long-term receivables was 203 million (66 million) year to date 2017. The increase is mainly related to a loan granted to Sundtkvartalet of 40 million and a rent compensation of 87 million arising from the agreement entered into in relation with the planned new-build in Tullinkvartalet. The corresponding net rent liability is recorded as an "other non-current liability". See note 21 in annual report 2016 for further information.

Other receivables was 803 million (344 million) at the end of the third quarter 2017 of which Youngskvartalet amounts to 496 million. The increase in other receivables since year end is affected by capitalised construction costs of 170 million, of which 11 million is capitalised in the third quarter of 2017, related to the property in Youngskvartalet that will be delivered to the buyer at the end of 2017 or at the beginning of 2018.

The property portfolio

Entra´s management portfolio consists of 74 buildings with a total area of approximately 1.0 million square meters. As of 30.09.17, the management portfolio had a market value of around 35 billion. The occupancy rate was 97.2 per cent (96.1 per cent). The weighted average unexpired lease term for the Group's leases was 6.6 years (6.8) for the management portfolio and 7.5 years (7.2) when the project portfolio is included. The public sector represents approximately 68 per cent of the total customer portfolio. The entire property portfolio consists of 84 properties with a market value of about 38.5 billion. Entra focuses the portfolio on the major cities in Norway; Oslo and the surrounding region, Bergen, Stavanger and Trondheim. Entra has its head office in Oslo.

Entra´s properties are valued by two external appraisers (Akershus Eiendom and Cushman & Wakefield) on a quarterly basis. The market value of the portfolio in Entra´s balance sheet is based on the average of the two external appraiser's

valuation of each individual property. Valuation of the management portfolio is performed on a property by property basis, using individual DCF models and taking into account the property's current characteristics combined with the external appraiser's estimated return requirements and expectations on future market development. The market value is defined as the external appraiser's estimated transaction value of the individual properties on valuation date. The project portfolio is valued based on the same principles, but with deduction for remaining investments and perceived risk as of valuation date. The land and development portfolio is valued based on actually zoned land.

Year-on-year, the portfolio net yield is reduced from 5.6 per cent to 5.2 per cent. 12 months rolling rent has increased from 1,863 to 1,999 per square meter during the last year, whereas the market rent has increased from 1,858 to 2,061 per square meter.

Status ongoing project

Entra is refurbishing Block 1 and 2 at Kjørbo into two new Powerhouses with BREEAM Excellent classification. Both blocks are fully let to Norconsult. Block 1 is 3,200 square meters and will be finished in November 2017 and Block 2 is 3,950 square meters and is expected to be finished in October 2018.

"Trondheimsporten" is a new-build project located in Holtermanns veg 70 in Trondheim. When completed, the property will be a 15-floor office building of approximately 28,600 square meters. The property is fully let to Trondheim municipality, the Norwegian Directorate of Health and the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration on 10-year contracts. The building is expected to be finalised during the fourth quarter of 2017 with a BREEAM Very Good classification.

On Brattørkaia 16 in Trondheim, Entra is building a 10,500 square meter campus building for BI Norwegian Business School. The property is fully let on a 20-year lease. The project has high environmental ambitions and aims for a BREEAM Excellent classification. The project will be finalised in the summer 2018.

On Brattørkaia 17 A, Entra will build Powerhouse Brattørkaia. This is an energy positive and environment friendly office building of approximately 18,200 square meters, of which a 2,500 square metres parking basement. The property is 48 per cent pre-let. Powerhouse Brattørkaia will utilise sun and sea water for heating and cooling. The building will be covered by 3,500 square meters of solar panels and thus produce around 500,000 kWh of renewable energy annually. This is more than twice as much as the building consumes for heating, cooling, ventilation and lighting. It means that the building has a positive energy balance in its lifetime also when all the energy that goes into building processes, materials and finally demolition is included. The project is aiming for the

environmental classification BREEAM Outstanding and Energy class A., The project will be finalised in the first quarter of 2019.

In Tullinkvartalet in Oslo Entra has ongoing construction of a new 21,000 square meters campus building for the Faculty of Law of the University of Oslo. The property is 92 per cent let to the University on a 25-year lease. The new-build project involves Entra's properties in Kristian Augusts gate 15, 19, and parts of 21, which to a large extent is being demolished and rebuilt. The project will be finalised in the end of 2019. Ongoing activities are engineering, planning, ground- and concrete works. The new-build project aims for a BREEAM Excellent classification.

During the quarter Entra finalised the Media City Bergen project according to plan. The property is now 85 per cent let. Media City Bergen involves total renovation of approximately 35,000 square meters and an extension of approximately

10,000 square meters in Lars Hilles gate 30 in Bergen. The vision behind the concept is to create an environment for innovation and knowledge development within the media industry, through establishing a cluster of media, technology, education and research companies. Tenants include TV2, NRK, Bergensavisen, Bergens Tidende, the Media Faculty of Bergen University, Vizrt, Regus, Deloitte and IBM. The property is 50 per cent owned by Entra through Entra OPF.

Youngskvartalet in Oslo involves both a new building and refurbishment and conservation of three existing buildings. The project consists of 9,400 square metres and will be finalised in Q4 2017. The project is forward sold to Industri Energi as part of a larger transaction that took place in 2012, where Entra booked a total gain of 134 million. When finalised, Entra will deliver the project at cost, plus a project management fee. Closing will be during Q4 2017 or Q1 2018.

Transactions

Entra actively seeks to improve the quality of its property portfolio through a disciplined strategy of acquisitions and divestments. Entra focuses on acquisition of large properties and projects in specific areas within its four core markets; Oslo and the surrounding region, Bergen, Trondheim and Stavanger. Target areas include both areas in the city centers and selected clusters and communication hubs outside the city centers, allowing Entra to offer rental opportunities at a price

range that fits its customer base. Entra's experience, financial strength and knowledge of its tenants makes the company well positioned to make acquisitions that meets these acquisition criteria. At the same time, Entra actively divests smaller noncore properties. The acquisition and divestment strategy is flexible, allowing Entra to adapt to feedback from customers and market changes, and to respond to market opportunities as they arise.

Market development

Total transaction volume in Norway year to date sums up to around NOK 60 billion. The market is active and the number of transactions that has been executed so far in 2017 is record high. Demand from both national and international investors remains strong, and the transaction volume estimate for 2017 is NOK 85 billion, according to Entra's consensus report. The financing market is well functioning, the yield gap remains attractive and the outlook for the Norwegian economy is positive. Prime yield remains stable at around 3.8 per cent.

TRANSACTION VOLUME NORWAY

Source: Entra Consensus report

According to Entra's Consensus report, the Oslo office vacancy is expected to drop to around 7 per cent by the end of this year and below 6.5 per cent in 2018 and 2019. This is primarily driven by slightly increasing employment and low net new capacity to the market stemming from low construction activity and office-to-residential conversion. Consequently, the broad uplift in rent levels is expected to continue. Modern, centrally located office premises are especially attractive and are expected to see the strongest growth.

In Bergen, the office vacancy has levelled out at about 10 per cent. We expect the office vacancy to drop below 10 per cent due to low construction activity and office-to-residential conversion. Rents in the city centre of Bergen has increased due to low vacancy and low supply of modern, centrally located office premises.

The overall office vacancy in Stavanger has levelled out at around 11 per cent. In addition, there might be certain areas that are vacant but where the tenant is still paying rent. There is still a downward pressure on rents in oil and gas intensive areas like Forus. In the Stavanger city centre, the vacancy is at about 5 per cent and rent levels are more stable. The construction activity is low.

In Trondheim, the overall office vacancy has levelled out at around 10 per cent. The volume of new office space will increase in 2018-19. The potential increase in vacancy is expected to be slowed down by an increase in demand and some office-to-residential conversion. Rent levels in the city centre have increased, while there is a downward pressure on rents in the fringe areas.

Other information

Organisation and HSE

At 30.09.17 the Group had 149 employees, reduced from 166 at year-end 2016, primarily as a result of the establishment of a jointly controlled entity Hinna Park Facility Management AS.

During the quarter, there was one injury that caused absence from work. Entra has a continuous HSE focus both in on-going projects and in the operations and works continually to avoid injuries. The Group had an LTIF rate (number of accidents with lost time per million hours worked in last 12 months) on ongoing projects of 3.3 at the end of the quarter vs 1.7 at the end of the third quarter 2016.

Risk and risk management

The Group is exposed to financial risk through its debt financing, and changes in interest rate levels on loans at floating rates will affect the Group's cash flow. The risks associated with the development in market rates are managed through active use of interest rate hedging instruments. Liquidity/refinancing risk is reduced by entering into long-term loan agreements, as well as through establishing a diversified maturity structure and the use of various credit markets and counterparties.

The Group's equity is affected by value changes on properties and financial instruments that are due to changes in, among other things, interest and rent levels, yields and other market conditions. Entra is exposed to the letting market, which is affected by macroeconomic changes in, among other things, GDP, the CPI rate and employment. Vacancy in the portfolio and rent changes on renegotiation of existing contracts affect the ongoing cash flow. Efforts are made to reduce the letting risk by systematic customer service, following up contract expiries and plans for letting work, as well as by adapting properties to customers' requirements. By entering into long leases with a diversified maturity structure, the Group achieves a stable and predictable cash flow. Entra carries out major upgrading and development projects involving risks in relation to primarily deadlines and costs.

Events after the balance sheet date

On 2 October, Entra closed the transaction of remaining 50 per cent of Sundtkvartalet in Oslo

On 12 October, Entra paid out a semi-annual dividend of NOK 2.00 per share and the share traded excluding the right to receive the dividend from 4 October 2017.

Share and shareholder information

Entra's share capital is NOK 183,732,461 divided into 183,732,461 shares, each with a par value of NOK 1 per share. Entra has one class of shares and all shares provide equal rights, including the right to any dividends.

Outlook

The weaker macroeconomic development in Norway is behind us, and we have seen a continuous positive development over several quarters. Nevertheless, there is still some degree of general uncertainty about the future.

The portfolio in Oslo constitutes around 70 per cent of Entra's revenues. We expect vacancy levels in Oslo to see a falling trend going forward as net new office space is coming into the market in 2017 and 2018 is marginal. This is due to low new building activity and still high conversion from commercial to residential buildings. Decreasing vacancy is thus expected to lead to increasing market rent levels in Oslo going forward.

Modern offices located near public transportation are attractive and obtain solid rents compared to premises located in less central areas.

Market interest rates for longer dated maturities have stabilised following the increasing trend seen in the second half of 2016. There is risk for a further increase from the current historically low levels. However, Entra with its strong balance sheet, predictable cash flow and well-balanced interest rate hedge position is in a good position to secure favourable financing also going forward.

Property investors seek quality properties with good locations and long and secure cash flows. The yield compression in the Norwegian market is expected to level out. However, Entra's portfolio with a healthy mix of attractive properties, value enhancing development project and a positive rental market outlook should provide a continued positive portfolio value development, albeit at a significantly slower pace.

With its flexible properties in attractive locations, strong tenant base with long lease contracts, exciting project pipeline and solid financial position, the Board believe that Entra is well positioned for the future.

NOTE 2 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Group is organised into two geographic units: Oslo and Regional Cities. These units are supported by a Letting and Property Development division, a Project Development division and a Digital and Business Development division. In addition, Entra has group and support functions within accounting and finance, legal, procurement, communication and HR.

Each of the geographic units are organised and monitored by management teams in six geographic areas: Oslo, Trondheim, Sandvika, Stavanger, Drammen and Bergen.

The geographic units do not have their own profit responsibility. The geographical units are instead followed up on economical and non-economical key figures ("key performance indicators"). These key performance indicators are reported and analysed by geographic area to the chief operating decision maker for the purpose of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance. Hence, the Group report their segment information based upon these six geographic areas.

A. EPRA EARNINGS

EPRA earnings is a measure of the underlying development in the property portfolio and is calculated as net income after tax excluding value changes on investment properties, unrealised changes in the market value of financial derivatives and gains/losses on the sale of properties and their associated tax effects.

B. NET ASSET VALUE – EPRA NAV AND EPRA NNNAV

The objective with EPRA NAV is to demonstrate the fair value of net assets given a long-term investment horizon. EPRA NAV is calculated as net asset value adjusted to include market value of all properties in the portfolio and interest-bearing debt, and to exclude certain items not expected to crystallise in a long-term investment property business model such as e.g. financial derivatives and deferred tax on the market value of investment properties.

The objective with EPRA NNNAV is to report the fair value of net assets in the Group on the basis that these are immediately realised. EPRA NNNAV is EPRA NAV adjusted to reflect the fair value of debt and derivatives and in order to include deferred tax on value changes.

C. EPRA NET INTIAL YIELD

EPRA Net initial yield measures the annualised rental income based on the cash rents passing at the balance sheet date, less nonrecoverable property operating expenses, divided by the market value of the property, increased with (estimated) purchasers' costs.

EPRA "topped-up" net initial yield incorporates an adjustment to the EPRA NIY in respect of the expiration of rent-free periods (or other unexpired lease incentives such as discounted rent periods and step rents).
