Reference

* See section "Calculation of key figures and definitions"

** 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 for 2017 of 4.10 per share constitute dividend of 2.00 per share approved and paid for the first half 2017 and

dividend of 2.10 per share proposed for the second half of 2017.

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.

Results

Rental income

Rental income was up by 3.8 per cent from 525 million in Q1 2017 to 545 million in Q1 2018. The increased rental income can be explained by the factors in the below income bridge.

All amounts in NOK million Q117 - Q118

*Entra OPF consolidated in the group from 1.1.2018

The increase in rental income in the quarter, compared to the same quarter last year, is mainly driven by the acquisition of the remaining 50 per cent of Sundtkvartalet which was closed in October 2017 and the consolidation of Entra OPF from 1.1 2018 (until 31.12.17 treated as a jointly controlled entity), offset by divestments of 12 non-core properties during 2017, especially the divestment of the Kristiansand portfolio in May 2017 and Middelthuns gate 29 in December 2017.

On a like-for-like basis the rental growth was 2.1 per cent, compared to the same quarter last year. 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. The annual adjustment is mostly made on a November to November basis.

Average 12 months rolling rent per square meter was 2,014 (1,944) as of 31.03.18. The increase is mainly related to continued portfolio rotation towards more central, high quality assets. The remaining growth is mainly driven by income effects from increased occupancy in the Oslo portfolio and the completion of newbuild- and refurbishment projects.

The occupancy rate in the first quarter went down from 97.0 per cent to 96.3 per cent. This is mainly due to increased vacancy in Langkaia 1 in Oslo and the effect from the consolidation of Entra OPF and the property Lars Hilles gate 30 which still carries some vacancy after completion of the project. The market rental income of vacant space as of 31.03.18 was approximately 76 million on an annualised basis.

Gross letting, including re-negotiated contracts with an annual lease of 4 million, was 25 million in the quarter. Lease contracts with an annual lease of 36 million were terminated in the quarter. Net letting defined as new lease contracts plus leaseup on renegotiated contracts less terminated contracts came in at -15 million (-34 million) in the quarter. The time difference between the net letting in the management portfolio 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.

QUARTERLY NET LETTING

Property costs

Total property costs amounted to 44 million (36 million) in the quarter. Total property cost is split as follows:

All amountss in NOK million Q1-18 Q1-17
Maintenance 7 6
Tax, leasehold, insurance 18 14
Letting and prop. adm. 12 12
Direct property costs 7 4
Total property costs 44 36

Total property costs were 44 million in the quarter, an increase of 8 million compared to the same quarter in 2017. The increase is mainly attributable to an increase in the property tax rate from 0.2 per cent to 0.3 per cent in Oslo, and a higher direct property cost due to a lower occupancy rate in the portfolio. In addition, consolidation of Entra OPF has had an impact of 2 million on total property costs in Q1-18.

Net operating income

As a consequence of the effects explained above, net operating income came in at 501 million (489 million) in the quarter.

Other revenues and other costs

Other revenues were 13 million (61 million) and costs 11 million (59 million).

Administrative costs

Administrative costs amounted to 44 million (43 million) in the quarter.

Result from associates and JVs

Entra's share of profit from associates and JVs was 14 million (124 million) in the quarter. Due to the consolidation of Entra OPF as of 1.1.2018, the result in this quarter is only related to the ongoing business in Oslo S Utvikling.

Interest and other finance income 12 7
Interest and other finance expense -121 -148
Net realised financials -110 -141

Net realised financials have decreased in the first quarter of 2018 compared to 2017 mainly due to lower interest rates on floating rate debt (Nibor). The interest and other finance income is in Q1-18 impacted by recognition of financing and delayed closing of Youngskvartalet of 9 million.

The average interest rate was 2.75 (3.33) per cent as at 31.03.18.

Net income and net income from property management

Net income came in at 363 million (432 million) in the quarter. When including only the income from property management in the results from JVs, the net income from property management was 349 million (311 million) in the quarter representing a year-on-year increase of 12 per cent.

Value changes

Net value changes amounted to 492 million (870 million) in the quarter.

The valuation of the property portfolio resulted in a net positive value change of 357 million (870 million) in the quarter. For the management portfolio, about 155 million of the value changes is attributable to yield compression, 134 million is due to increased market rents, primarily in Oslo, and 66 million is a result of new contracts signed in the quarter offset partly by effects from terminated contracts. About 22 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.

Net changes in the value of financial instruments was 135 million (0) in the quarter. The positive development in the quarter is mainly explained by higher market interest rates and reduced time to maturity on interest rate swaps on existing fixed rate debt. Partly offsetting this effect, Entra has terminated interest rate swaps with a notional amount of 1.1 billion with a termination cost of 49 million.

Tax

Tax payable of 3 million (0) in the quarter is related to the partly owned entity Papirbredden in Drammen. The change in deferred tax was -119 million (-258 million) in the quarter. The change in deferred tax in the quarter was positively impacted by tax exempted divestments of Tungasletta 2 and Youngskvartalet of 70 million in total. The effective tax rate is less than the corporate income tax mainly due to divestment of properties without tax effect.

The Group, except for certain partly owned companies with marginal tax effect, is currently not in a tax payable position due to tax loss carry forward. At year-end 2017, the tax loss carry forward for the Group was 810 million (953 million).

Profit

Profit before tax was 856 million (1,302 million) in the quarter. Profit after tax was 734 million (1,044 million) in the quarter, which also equals the comprehensive income after tax in the period.

EPRA Earnings

EPRA Earnings amounted to 248 million (228 million) in the first quarter of 2018. The increase in EPRA Earning in the quarter is mainly related to increased net income from property management.

EPRA Earnings before tax amounted to 317 million (297 million) in the first quarter.

Further information about the EPRA Earnings calculations can be found on page 26.

Balance sheet

The Group's assets amounted to 44,607 million (40,495 million) as at 31.03.18. Of this, investment property amounted to 42,847 million (36,327 million).

Investments in associates and jointly controlled entities were 456 million (1,764 million). The decrease is mainly attributable to the consolidation of Entra OPF from 1.1.2018 (until 31.12.17 treated as a jointly controlled entity).

Long-term receivables was 243 million (169 million) at the end of first quarter. The increase is mainly related to a 75 million seller credit structured as a bond in relation to the divestment of Middelthuns gate 29.

Other receivables was 320 million (531 million) at the end of the quarter. The reduction is mainly due to that capitalised construction costs related to the property Youngskvartalet was included in the Q1-17 numbers. This project was sold in the first quarter of 2018.

Cash flow statement

Net cash flow from operating activities came to 306 million (250 million) in the quarter. The cash effect of higher net income from property management is offset by negative working capital movements.

The net cash flow from investment activities was 276 million (-427 million) in the quarter. Proceeds from property transactions of 615 million (151 million) in the quarter was mainly related to Tungasletta 2 of 164 million and Youngskvartalet of 451 million.

The property portfolio

Entra's management portfolio consists of 76 buildings with a total area of approximately 1.1 million square meters. As of 31.03.18, the management portfolio had a market value of around 40 billion. The occupancy rate was 96.3 per cent (97.5 per cent). The weighted average unexpired lease term for the Group's leases was 6.6 years (6.8) for the management portfolio and 7.4 years (7.7) when the project portfolio is included. The public sector represents approximately 64 per cent of the total customer portfolio. The entire property portfolio consists of 84 properties with a market value of about 43 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 appraisers' valuation. 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 5.5 per cent to 5.0 per cent. 12 months rolling rent has increased from 1,944 to 2,014 per square meter during the last year, whereas the market rent has increased from 1,968 to 2,086 per square meter.

On Brattørkaia 17 A, Entra will build Powerhouse Brattørkaia. This is an energy positive and environment friendly office building of approximately 18,200 sqm, of which a 2,500 sqm parking basement. The property is 64 per cent pre-let, and several letting processes are ongoing. 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 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 re-built. The project will be finalised in December 2019. The new-build project aims for a BREEAM Excellent classification.

Entra started refurbishing Tollbugata 1A in Oslo in the quarter. 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 property is fully let on a 15 year lease to The Directorate of Norwegian Customs.

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

Transaction volume in Norway in 2017 totalled around 85 billion. The market has been more moderate this far in 2018, totalling around 15 billion. However, demand from both national and international investors remain strong and the transaction volumes are expected to be high also going forward, according to Entra's consensus report. The financing market is well functioning and the outlook for the Norwegian economy is positive. Prime yields are expected to slide slightly upwards primarily as a result of higher interest rates. However, the expected increase in rent levels and inflation should have a balancing effect on valuations.

TRANSACTION VOLUME NORWAY

Source: Entra Consensus report, April 2018

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 go down towards 6.5 per cent by the end of this year. The drop is primarily driven by slightly increasing employment and low net new capacity to the market, stemming from low construction activity and office-toresidential 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 dropped below 10 per cent due to low construction activity, slightly increased employment 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 Stavanger area is experiencing higher activity and optimism. However, the overall office vacancy in Stavanger has increased to around 13 per cent as vacant premises still on contracts are expiring. 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 low.

In Trondheim, the overall office vacancy has levelled out at around 10 per cent. 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 around 70 per cent of the premises 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.

Other information

Organisation and HSE

At 31.03.18 the Group had 151 (152) employees.

In Q1 2018, Entra had two injuries with long term absence from work in the ongoing projects. In addition, two persons fell on ice/snow outside two buildings and got minor injuries. 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 4,1 at the end of the first quarter 2018 vs 2,6 at the end of the first quarter 2017.

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 19 April 2018 Entra announced a new 10-year lease contract with the Norwegian Tax Authority for a minimum of 5,000 sqm in a planned Entra newbuild in Holtermanns veg 1-13 in Trondheim. Holtermanns veg 1-13 will be a new office building of approximately 11,000 sqm. The property is 53 % pre-let. Construction will commence in the second quarter of 2018 with a building period of approximately 1.5 years. The project targets a Breeam-NOR Excellent classification.

Annual general meeting and dividend

The annual general meeting in Entra ASA is held on 20 April 2018. In line with the dividend policy of distributing approximately 60 per cent of Cash Earnings, the board of Entra has propose to distribute a semi-annual dividend of NOK 2.10 per share for the second half of 2017. The last day the share is traded including the right to receive dividend is 20 April 2018. The dividend will be paid on 2 May 2018.

Outlook

Entra's 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 into 2018 is 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 two years will 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 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.

NOTE 1 – ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

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:

NOTE 2 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Group has one main operational unit, led by the EVP of the property portfolio. 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.

During the first quarter the Group has handed to the buyer the property Tungasletta 2 in Trondheim.

The value change on operational lease agreements relates to the property Langkaia 1, which is owned under a lease that expires on 31 December 2030. 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 677 million (688 million) as at the end of the first quarter of 2018. The Group records quarterly a negative value change on the property as the maturity date of the lease approaches.

NOTE 4 – INFORMATION ON THE FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

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 42,847 million and equity capital instruments of 4 million (level 3), all financial assets and liabilities are level 2.

** From 24 per cent to 23 per cent for 2017 figures.

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 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.

** Changed principle as a result of implementation of IFRS 15. Interest bearing debt is accounted to amortised cost in reported equity from 1 January 2018.

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).
