*Entra OPF consolidated in the group from 1.1.2018
The increase in rental income from the third quarter last year is mainly driven by the aqcuisition of the remaining 50 per cent of Sundtkvartalet in October 2017, the consolidation of Entra OPF from 1.1.2018 and the completion of the projects Trondheimsporten in the first quarter and Brattørkaia 16 in the second quarter. In addition, the aquistion of the office part of the Bryn portfolio contributed with about 7 millions in rental income in the third quarter. The increase is partly offset by the sale of non-core properties during 2017 and 2018. Year to date, the increase in rental income compared to last year is primarily driven by the same factors as mentioned above.
On a like-for-like basis, the rental growth in the third quarter and year to date was 2.8 and 2.0 per cent, respectively, compared to 2017, of which the annual indexation of the lease contracts constituted 1.1 per cent. Near all of Entra's lease contracts are 100 per cent linked to positive changes in CPI.
Average 12 months rolling rent per square meter was 2,024 (1,999) as of 30.9.2018. The increase is mainly related to portfolio rotations towards more high quality assets as well as underlying growth in market rents.
RENT (12M ROLLING) PER SQM AND OCCUPANCY RATE
The occupancy rate decreased slightly from 96.7 per cent in the second quarter to 96.6 per cent in the third quarter. This is mainly related to a combination of the effect of the net letting in the portfolio and reclassification of properties from the management portfolio and the project portfolio. The rental value of vacant space as of 30.9.18 was approximately 80 million (57 million) on an annualised basis.
Gross letting including renegotiated contracts was 41 million in the quarter of which 10 million is attributable to letting in the project portfolio. Lease contracts with a total value of 35 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 1 million (20 million) in the quarter. The time difference between net letting in the management portfolio in the quarter and its
effect on the financial results is normally 6-18 months, while new contracts signed in the project portfolio tend to have a later impact on the results.
The graph above shows the estimated development of contracted rental income based on all reported events, including income effect from divestments and acquisitions, completion of new development projects, net letting based on new and terminated contracts in the management portfolio, and other effects such as estimated CPI adjustments. It does not reflect any letting targets on the vacant areas in the portfolio or on contracts that will expire, but where the outcome of any renegotiation process is not known, i.e not yet reported in "Net letting". The graph therefore does not constitute a forecast, but rather aims to demonstrate the rental income trend in the existing contract portfolio on the balance sheet date based on all reported events.
Total property costs amounted to 45 million (39 million) in the quarter. Total property costs is split as follows:

| Total property costs |
45 | 39 | 131 | 116 |
The increase in property cost for the third quarter and for the first nine months of 2018, compared to last year, is mainly attributable to an increase in the property tax rate from 0.2 per cent to 0.3 per cent in Oslo and the consolidation of Entra OPF as of 1.1.2018
As a consequence of the effects explained above, net operating income came in at 525 million (468 million) in the quarter.
Other revenues was 22 million (26 million) in the quarter and Other costs was 19 million (24 million). Other revenues in the quarter mainly consists of income from services provided to tenants. Other costs consists of other property costs mainly related to depreciation and rental expenses.
All of the income and costs related to the residential part of the Bryn portfolio, which was aquired in september 2018, will be recognized as other income and other cost Refer to note 5 for further information on the acquisition of the Bryn portfolio.
Administrative costs amounted to 33 million (36 million) in the quarter.
Entra's share of profit from associates and JVs was 89 million (31 million) in the quarter. Due to the consolidation of Entra OPF as of 1.1.2018, the result in 2018 is only related to the ongoing business in Oslo S Utvikling. Entra's share of profit from associates and JVs is composed as follows:

Net realised financials have decreased in the first nine months of 2018 compared to 2017 mainly due to lower average interest rate following termination of interest rate swaps.

Net income came in at 457 million (331 million) in the quarter. When including only the income from property management in the results from JVs, net income from property management
was 369 million (307 million). This represents an increase of 20 per cent from the third quarter in 2017.

In the third quarter, about 169 million of the value changes is attributable to increased market rents, primarily in Oslo. 85 million of the value change is related to a minor yield compression in areas outside of the city center of Oslo, as well as in Stavanger. Value change of 24 million is a result of new contracts signed in the quarter partly offset by effects from terminated contracts. About 19 million relates to the ongoing project portfolio, mainly explained by reduced risk as each project is moving towards completion in combination with improved market conditions. The remaining negative 160 million relates to other property effects, including revised assumptions related to CAPEX requirements on certain future refurbishment projects.

Entra was on 3.10.2018 assigned Moody's investment grade rating Baa1 with Stable outlook. According to Moody's, Entra's Baa1 long-term issuer rating reflects (1) its position as the largest office property company in Norway, (2) its leadership (81%) position in office properties located in attractive locations on the fringe of the central business district (CBD) in Oslo, (3) its modern, high-quality NOK 43.7 billion property portfolio, (4) a clear, well-defined strategy to focus on offices in Norway's four largest cities and government tenants, (5) the large exposure towards highly creditworthy governments and public tenants with very long dated average lease maturities (7.4 years including project properties as of June 2018) and consistently high occupancy rates across all cities, and (6) good liquidity and high unencumbered asset ratio of 89.3%.
The Moody's Baa1 rating will contribute to a significant increase in credit availability for Entra in domestic and international debt capital markets and will enable Entra to further extend its debt maturity profile.

On Brattørkaia 17 A, Entra is building Powerhouse Brattørkaia. This is an energy positive and environment friendly office building of approximately 18,200 sqm, including a 2,500 sqm parking basement. The property is 85 per cent pre-let. Powerhouse Brattørkaia will utilise sun and sea water for heating and cooling. The building will be covered by 3,500 sqm 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 March 2019.
In Tullinkvartalet in Oslo, Entra has ongoing construction of a new 21,000 sqm campus building for the Faculty of Law of the University of Oslo. The property is 82 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 re-built. The project will be finalised in December 2019. The new-build project aims for a BREEAM Excellent classification.
Entra is refurbishing Tollbugata 1A in Oslo. The property consists of two buildings totalling 9,000 sqm adjacent to Oslo Central station, and the project is expected to be completed in late 2019. Both properties are fully let on a 15-year lease to The Directorate of Norwegian Customs.
In Holtermanns veg 1-13, Entra has ongoing construction of a new office building (the first of three buildings). The approved zoning allows construction of approximately 48,000 sqm and the first building stage is approximately 11,500 sqm, including a 2,000 sqm basement with parking. The property is approximately 53 per cent pre-let to the Norwegian Tax Administration and will be completed in the first quarter of 2020. The project is aiming for the environmental classification BREEAM Excellent and Energy class A.
During the quarter Entra finalised the refurbishment of Block 2 at Kjørbo into a new Powerhouse with BREEAM Excellent

Total transaction volume in Norway year to date sums up to around 51 billion and 154 transactions, according to Malling & co. The market remains active and with solid demand from both national and international investors. The total transaction volume estimate for 2018 is 79 billion, according to Entra's consensus report. The financing market continue to be well functioning and the outlook for the Norwegian economy is solid. The overall high demand for Norwegian real estate has caused prime yield to remain stable at around 3.8 per cent, despite slowly increasing interest rates. Prime yields are expected to rise slowly over the next few years.

According to Entra's Consensus report, the office vacancy in the Oslo area dropped to around 7 per cent by the end of 2017, and is expected to be below 6.5 per cent by the end of this year. The drop is primarily driven by increasing employment and limited net new capacity to the market,
stemming from low construction activity and continued officeto-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. Available rental price statistics as of Q3 2018 also provides evidence for this.
In Bergen, the office vacancy has dropped below 10 per cent due to low construction activity, office-to-residential conversion, slightly increased employment and new optimism in the oil and gas industry. Rents in the city centre of Bergen has increased due to low vacancy and low supply of modern, centrally located office premises.
The Stavanger area is experiencing increasing employment and optimism due to higher activity in the oil and gas sector. As a result, office vacancies have fallen slightly and are now below 12 per cent. Despite that the overall office vacancy in Stavanger still being high, there is an increasing demand for modern, flexible and centrally located office premises. There is still a downward pressure on rents in the oil and gas intensive areas. In the Stavanger city centre, the vacancy is at about 7 per cent and rent levels are more stable. The construction activity is still low.
In Trondheim, the overall office vacancy has levelled out at around 10 per cent. Vacancy is highest in the fringe areas of the city. The volume of new office space will be moderate this year but increase in 2019. The market has shown ability to absorb the new capacity and most of the premises that will be completed in 2019 are pre-let. Rent levels in the city centre have increased, while there is a downward pressure on rents in the fringe areas.

At 30.9.18 the Group had 161 employees. During the quarter, there were no injuries 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 7.6 at the end of the quarter vs 3.3 at the end of the third quarter 2017.
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.
On 10 October, Entra paid out a semi-annual dividend of NOK 2.20 per share, and the share traded ex right to receive the dividend from 2 October 2018.

Entra continues to deliver on its core strategic pillars; profitable growth, customer satisfaction, and environmental leadership. Deliberate and targeted project development of profitable newbuilds and refurbishments is an important source to profitable growth. Entra has in recent years had the most satisfied customers amongst the major Norwegian real estate companies. A key priority for Entra in 2018 has been to further develop its product and service offerings with the aim of realising the vision of owning buildings where the most satisfied people are working.
Environmental leadership and sustainability has been a key priority for Entra during the last decade and is an integral part of all business operations in the company. We experience a significantly growing interest from all stakeholders on this topic, and the financial benefits are also materialising through increasing focus from tenants, lower cost of funding through our green bonds, and higher valuations of environmentally friendly properties.
The Norwegian economy is seeing a moderate upturn with GDP growth and increasing employment. Nevertheless, there is still some degree of general uncertainty about the future, particularly in relation to the residential market and relatively high levels of household debt.
Modern, environmentally friendly offices located near public transportation hubs are attractive and obtain solid rents compared to premises located in less central areas. Entra's portfolio in Oslo constitutes around 70 per cent of revenues, and we expect the Oslo office market to develop favourably in the coming years with lower vacancy levels and higher rental prices. The office markets in Bergen and Trondheim are expected to maintain stable, and there are positive signs in Stavanger where we expect a moderate recovery in the coming years.
Interest rates have bottomed out on historically low levels and has recently trended upwards. This could potentially lead to both increased cost of funding and market yields. However, the Norwegian transaction market is very active and driven by strong demand from both domestic and international investors.
We do expect that the yield compression seen over the last years has levelled out. However, Entra's portfolio with a healthy mix of attractive yielding properties and value enhancing development project combined with a positive rental market outlook should provide a continued positive portfolio value development, albeit at a significantly slower pace than in recent quarters.
With its flexible properties in attractive locations and clusters, 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.

The results for the period have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
Except for the implementation of the new standards IFRS 9 and IFRS 15, the accounting principles that have been used in the preparation of the interim financial statements are in conformity with the principles used in preparation of the annual financial statements for 2017.
IFRS 9 opens to make a new assessment of whether the Group should continue to use the fair value option ahead or measuring loans at amortised cost. From 1 January 2018 the Group has decided to measure fixed rate bonds at amortised cost. The only change in the Groups financial statements arising from the implementation of the IFRS 9 is the change from measuring fixed rate bonds to fair value through P&L historically to amortised cost, which reduced liabilities by 314 million. We refer to the 2017 annual report (page 76) for further explanation of the implementation effects on the financial statements.
In the 2017 annual report, Entra stated that the financial statements would not be affected by implementing IFRS 15. In the first quarter of 2018, Entra has revisited the interpretation of how termination clauses in contracts should affect the accounting under IFRS 15.
The termination clauses in a contract are among the determining factors in assessing whether the seller is entitled to payment for completed work until the date of cancellation. If a buyer does not have the right to cancel a contract, and the seller can require a buyer to pay the consideration agreed in the contract even if the buyer acts to terminate a contract, IFRS 15 states that the seller must recognise the revenue from the project over time.
Based on a new assessment of the recognition of the Eufemia's office building under construction in OSU, Entra concluded that building, which is to be handed over to KLP upon completion, will be accounted for over time both as the building does not have an alternative use and OSU has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.
IFRS 15 should be applied in an entity's IFRS financial statements for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. In accordance with the transition guidance, Entra has chosen to recognise the cumulative effect of applying IFRS 15 as an adjustment to the opening balance of equity as at the date of initial application (1 January 2018).
The table below shows the transition effects on the OSU financial statements due reclassification of the accounting of the Eufemia building on OSU:

The financial reporting covers Entra ASA, subsidiaries, associated companies and jointly controlled entities. The interim financial statements have not been audited.
The Group has one main operational unit, led by the EVP property management. The property portfolio is divided into six different geographic areas in Oslo, Sandvika, Drammen, Stavanger, Bergen and Trondheim, with management teams monitoring and following upon each area. The geographic units are supported by a Letting and Property Development division, 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.
The geographic areas do not have their own profit responsibility. The geographical areas are instead followed up on economical and non-economical key figures ("key performance indicators"). These key figures are analysed and reported by geographic area to the chief operating decision maker, that is the board and CEO, for the purpose of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance. Hence, the Group report their segment information based upon these six geographic areas.

The property will then revert without consideration to the Oslo Harbour Authority. The property is classified as an investment property under IAS 40 and is valued at 706 million (693 million) as at the end of the third quarter of 2018. The Group records quarterly a negative value change on the property as the maturity date of the lease approaches.
Except for the implementation of IFRS 9, the valuation methods and principles are unchanged in the quarter. See the annual financial statements for 2017 for further information. Set out below is a summary of assets and liabilities measured at fair value divided between the different valuation hierarchies set out in IFRS 7.
With the exception of investment properties of 44,969 million and equity capital instruments of 5 million (level 3), all financial assets and liabilities are level 2.

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 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.

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).
