Results

Rental income

Rental income was up 3 per cent from 587 million in the second quarter of 2020 to 602 million in the second quarter of 2021, and 2 per cent from 1,174 million to 1,193 for the first six months of 2021. Despite significant contribution from finalised projects, the top line growth is currently relatively flat as several of Entra's large assets has been vacated and prepared for redevelopment over the last 18 months. Rental income has only to a very limited extent been impacted by Covid-19. The underlying changes in rental income can be explained by the factors in the income bridge below.

Net contribution from development projects was negative 14 million in the quarter compared to the same quarter last year. During the last 18 months, Entra has vacated the following properties awaiting redevelopment: Parts of Stenersgata 1 and St. Olavs plass 5 in Oslo, Møllendalsveien 6-8 in Bergen and Kongens gate 87 in Trondheim. However, Holtermanns veg 1- 13 phase 1 was finalised during Q1 2020 and Kristian Augusts gate 13 in Q1 2021 contributing of total 7 million on rental income compared to the same quarter last year.

The acquisition of Lagårdsveien 6 and Kanalpiren in Stavanger, Møllendalsveien 1A and Lars Hilles gate 19 in Bergen and Hagegata 27 and Fyrstikkalléen 1 in Oslo contributed with rental income of 11 million compared to the same quarter last year, whereas divestment of Tollbodallmenningen 2A in February 2021 reduced rental income by 1 million.

Compared to last year, rental income has been positively affected by an underlying like-for-like growth of 2.9 per cent (16 million) for the quarter and 3.1 per cent (34 million) for the first six months, of which the underlying CPI adjustment was 0.7 per cent (8 million). 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.

Other effects stems from an administrative fee of 3 million per quarter during 2021.

Average 12 months rolling rent per square meter was 2,151 (2,149) as of 30.06.21. The decrease over the last two quarters is mainly a result of acquisitions with lower average rent.

Compared to the same quarter last year, the occupancy rate went down by 20 basis points to 97.4 per cent. The market rental income of vacant space as of 30.06.21 was approximately 67 million on an annualised basis.

QUARTERLY NET LETTING

Gross letting, including re-negotiated contracts, was 93 million in the quarter of which 6 million is attributable to letting in the

project portfolio. Lease contracts with an annual lease of 33 million were terminated in the quarter. Net letting, defined as new lease contracts plus lease-up on renegotiated contracts less terminated contracts, came in at 13 million (14 million) in the quarter. The timing difference between net letting in the

management portfolio in the quarter and its effect on the financial results is normally 6-12 months, while new contracts signed in the project portfolio tend to have an even later impact on the results. Please see the project development section for further information regarding project completion.

RENTAL INCOME DEVELOPMENT

The graph above shows the estimated development of contracted rental income based on all reported events, including income effect from acquisitions and divestments, 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.

Operating costs

The property portfolio

Entra's management portfolio consists of 79 properties with a total area of approximately 1.2 million square meters. As of 30.06.21, the management portfolio had a market value of 53.4 billion. The occupancy rate was 97.4 per cent (97.6 per cent). The weighted average lease term for the Group's leases was 6.7 years (6.8) for the management portfolio and 6.9 years (6.8) when the project portfolio is included. For the management portfolio, the public sector represents approximately 60 per cent of the total rental income. The entire property portfolio consists of 95 properties with a market value of 62.6 billion.

Entra's properties are valued by two external appraisers (Akershus Eiendom/JLL and Newsec) 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 4.83 to 4.33 per cent. 12 months rolling rent per square meter increased from 2,149 to 2,151 mainly driven by properties that are vacated and classified to the project portfolio as they are awaiting redevelopment.

The market rent per square meter has increased by 1 per cent from the second quarter of 2020, from NOK 2,224 to 2,246.

Transactions

Entra actively seeks to improve the quality of its property portfolio and focuses on acquisitions of selected properties and projects within urban development 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 public transportation 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. The acquisition and divestment strategy is flexible, allowing Entra to adapt to feedback from customers and market changes, and to create and respond to market opportunities as they arise.

Market development

The transaction market in Norway is very active and competitive with a total transaction volume of around 70 billion in the first half of 2021. This is expected to continue in the fall, and 2021 may see record high transaction volumes. Within the office segment, long, secure cash flows, value add opportunities and development projects/sites attract strong investor interest. Both national and international investors are net buyers.

The financing market continues to be well functioning, particularly for solid counterparties like Entra. Norway's Central Bank reduced the policy rate by 1.5 per cent to 0 per cent during the spring of 2020 and as a result yields contracted significantly. Despite the increase in long term interest rates, the prime yield remains at 3.30 per cent according to Entra's consensus report. The spread to regional markets has narrowed with prime yield in Bergen reaching all-time low at 3.75 per cent.

TRANSACTION VOLUME NORWAY

(NOK bn)

According to Entra's consensus report, the office vacancy in Oslo has increased from around 5-6 per cent to around seven per cent. Vacancy is expected to be reduced slightly in the coming years as economic activity and employment growth is picking up post Covid-19. The new-build volume for the coming years is relatively limited, particularly in the city centre. As a result, rent levels are expected to increase going forward after a flattish period during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Bergen has proven to be robust during the Covid-19 pandemic. The overall office vacancy is currently around eight per cent and six pr cent in the city centre There is limited supply of modern premises in the city centre and fairly strong demand. Rent levels for high quality buildings in the city centre have increased over the last years, whereas the normal segment has remained more flat.

In Trondheim, the overall office vacancy is currently around nine per cent. Vacancy is highest in the fringe areas of the city. As in Bergen, rent levels in the city centre of Trondheim have increased over the last years, while there is a downward pressure on rents in the fringe areas.

The Stavanger area has been more challenging due to the volatility in the oil and gas sector on top of the Covid-19 situation. Overall vacancy is currently around 14 per cent, and there is downward pressure on rent levels in the main oil and gas intensive areas such as Forus. In the city centre and at Hinna Park, there is demand for modern, flexible and centrally located office premises, and rent levels have held up well.

Entra has acquired Hotel Savoy at Tullin in Oslo for a property value of 185 million. Hotel Savoy is an historical hotel with a strong brand totalling 5,550 sqm and has 93 rooms. The transaction closed on 13 July 2021.

The Board has decided to pay out a semi-annual dividend of NOK 2.50 per share for the first half of 2021. The dividend will be paid out on or around 12 October 2021 to the shareholders as of 1 October 2021.

Outlook

The Norwegian society and office market has been less affected by Covid-19 than most other countries, and Entra has proved resilient during Covid-19 with only marginal P&L impact. All of Entra's assets have been open and available for the tenants throughout the pandemic. The vaccine program in Norway is progressing rapidly, and the country has gradually reopened through Q2 2021. Office rents has held up well through the pandemic and the activity in the letting market is picking up significantly. The investment market is strong and competitive, and prime yields remain stable.

Entra owns an unparalleled portfolio of modern, efficient and large office assets on central locations in connection with public transportation hubs. The weighted average unexpired lease term (WAULT) is almost seven years, and the occupancy rate is 97.4 per cent. The company offers investors superior cash flow visibility and quality with 60 per cent of rental income from public sector tenants with AAA credit rating.

Entra's operational platform and organisation has placed the company consistently amongst the top three performers in the annual Norwegian Tenant Index ranking of Norwegian landlords. Entra is thus well positioned in a solid Norwegian economy supported by strong public funding and a property market with low office vacancy rates and expectations for continued rental growth.

Going forward, the office market is expected to experience changes in workplace strategies and office layouts to accommodate a more mobile and digital way of working. We expect higher tenants' demand for more flexibility and somewhat changed modus operandi for many office users. This could also provide opportunities benefitting large and professional landlords like Entra.

Sustainability has been an integrated part of Entra's business model for more than 10 years. Entra is working actively to

reduce the CO2 footprint of its property portfolio and has a firm ambition to become a net zero carbon company by 2030. Assets representing almost 60 per cent of the value of the management portfolio are, or in the process of being, BREEAM certified. Entra issued its first green bond in 2016 and currently has 55 per cent of its debt portfolio in green bonds and green bank loans.

Profitable project development has historically been the company's major lever for growth, and Entra has a track record of delivering attractive newbuild and redevelopment projects with significant value creation. The portfolio of large, ongoing development projects currently consists of 10 assets totalling 175,000 sqm. Fully let, these projects will add net rental income of more than 500 million, phased in during 2021-2024.

Entra has a strong balance sheet, a well staggered debt maturity profile, and a diversified financing mix with an ample supply of unutilized credit facilities. Entra will actively use its balance sheet and strong funding to optimize and grow its high-quality portfolio and to continue to build and progress the development pipeline. Entra will focus on its role as an urban developer and leverage its competitive advantages, including expertise, network and ESG leadership.

Entra owns and manages modern, flexible and environmentally friendly assets located in selected clusters near public transportation hubs. Combined with a solid tenant base with long lease contracts, a strong financial position, and an extensive project pipeline for future growth, Entra has a proven and resilient business profile that is well positioned for the future.

NOTE 5 – LEGAL DISPUTES

With reference to note 35 to the annual financial statements for 2020, Entra was in 2016 in zoning processes regarding two of the Groups properties in Oslo. Oslo municipality claimed Entra for a contribution for unrelated projects. Entra was of the opinion that the claim was unlawful and applied for a ruling by Oslo District Court, which ruled in favour of Entra in June 2019. Oslo municipality appealed the ruling, and Borgarting Court of Appeal ruled in favour of Oslo municipality in January 2021. Entra appealed the ruling to the Supreme Court.

In May 2021, the Supreme Court's Appeal Committee denied the appeal for judicial review by Supreme Court, and the ruling from Borgarting Court of Appeal is consequently final. Entra's claim was regarded as a contingent asset, and the denial from the Supreme Court's Appeal Committee has no impact on Entra's balance sheet.

ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES

Entra's financial information is prepared in accordance with the international financial reporting standards (IFRS). In addition, the company reports alternative performance measures (APMs) that are regularly reviewed by management to enhance the understanding of Entra's performance as a supplement, but not as a substitute, to the financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. Financial APMs are intended to enhance comparability of the results and cash flows from period to period, and it is Entra's experience that these are frequently used by analysts, investors and other parties. The financial APMs reported by Entra are the APMs that, in management's view, provide the most relevant supplemental information of a real estate company's financial position and performance. These measures are adjusted IFRS measures defined, calculated and used in a consistent and transparent manner over the years. Operational measures such as, but not limited to, net letting, vacancy and WAULT are not defined as financial APMs according to ESMA's guidelines.

A. EPRA EARNINGS

EPRA Earnings is a measure of the operational performance of the property portfolio. EPRA Earnings is calculated based on the income statement, adjusted for non-controlling interests, value changes on investment properties, changes in the market value of financial instruments and the associated tax effects. In addition, earnings from the jointly controlled entity OSU is adjusted for as the business of this company is development of residential properties for sale and is not considered relevant for measurement of the underlying operating performance of the property portfolio under management.

B. EPRA NET ASSET VALUE METRICS

EPRA NET REINSTATEMENT VALUE (NRV)

The objective of the EPRA NRV measure is to highlight the value of net assets on a long-term basis and assumes that no selling of assets takes place. Assets and liabilities that are not expected to crystallise in normal circumstances such as the fair value movements on financial derivatives and deferred taxes on property valuation surpluses are therefore excluded. Real estate transfer taxes are generally not levied on property transactions in Norway, and such taxes are accordingly not included in Entra's valuation certificates. Consequently, no adjustment is done for real estate transfer taxes in Entra's calculation of EPRA NRV.

Outstanding shares at period end (million) 182.1 182.1 182.1
EPRA NRV per share (NOK) 198 159 189

1) In June 2021, Entra agreed to increase its share in OSU from 33.3 to 50 per cent after a competitive bid process. The fair value of the 33.3 per cent holding as at 30.06.21 reflects the highest of the competing bids.

2) The EPRA NRV as at 30.06.20 was in the quarterly report for the second quarter of 2020 reported as 29,306 million (NOK 161 per share). The revaluation of investments made in JVs and share of EPRA NRV attributable to non-controlling interests was revisited in the third quarter of 2020, resulting in a reduction in the EPRA NRV as at 30.06.20.

EPRA NET TANGIBLE ASSETS (NTA)

The EPRA NTA is focused on reflecting a company's tangible assets and assumes that entities buy and sell assets, thereby crystallising certain levels of unavoidable deferred tax liability. Entra has adopted second option in the EPRA BPR guidelines to adjust for deferred tax, estimating the real tax liability based how the company has completed property transactions in recent years.

1) Estimated real deferred tax liability related to temporary differences of properties has been calculated to 1.2 per cent of the based on a discount rate of 5.0 per cent and the assumption that 50 per cent of the property portfolio are realized over 50 years in transactions structured as sale of companies in which the tax discount is 6.5 per cent. Further, the real tax liability related to the gains/losses account is estimated by assuming an amortisation of 20 per cent annually and a discount rate of 5.0 per cent.

EPRA NET DISPOSAL VALUE (NDV)

The EPRA NDV measure provides readers of financial reports with a scenario where deferred tax, financial instruments, and certain other adjustments are calculated as to the full extent of their liability. This enables readers of financial reports to understand the full extent of liabilities and resulting shareholder value under an orderly sale of business and/or if liabilities are not held until maturity. The measure should not be viewed as a "liquidation NAV" for Entra, as fair values may not represent liquidation values, and as an immediate realization of Entra's assets may be structured as sale of property-owning companies, resulting in the deferred tax liabilities only partially crystallising.

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).
