Results

Rental income

Rental income was up 15 per cent from 590 million in Q4 2020 to 677 million in Q4 2021, and up seven per cent from 2,353 million to 2,508 during the year. The changes in rental income are explained by the factors in the income bridge below.

Net contribution from development projects was 41 million in the quarter compared to the same quarter last year. During the last 12 months, Entra has finalised the redevelopment of Universitetsgata 7-9, Universitetsgata 2, Kristian Augusts gate 11, Kristian Augusts gate 13, Hagegata 22-24, Grønland 32 and Holtermanns veg 1-13 phase 1, contributing a total of 43 million on rental income compared to the same quarter last year. However, certain properties have been vacated in the same period for redevelopment and has thus reduced the rental income by 2 million in the quarter.

The acquisition of Lagårdsveien 6 and Kanalpiren in Stavanger, Møllendalsveien 1A and Lars Hilles gate 19 in Bergen and Hagegata 27, Fyrstikkalléen 1 and Universitetsgata 11 (Hotel Savoy) in Oslo contributed with rental income of 39 million compared to the same quarter last year, whereas divestment of Tollbodallmenningen 2A in Bergen 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 0.9 per cent (5 million) for the quarter and 2.3 per cent (50 million) for the year, of which the underlying CPI adjustment from November 2020 was 0.7 per cent (15 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. The CPI for November 2021 came in at 5.07 per cent.

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

Average 12 months rolling rent per square meter was 2,282 (2,210) as of 31.12.21. The increase in 12 months rolling rent over the last four quarters is mainly a result of acquisitions and finalised projects.

RENT (12M ROLLING) PER SQM AND OCCUPANCY RATE

Compared to the same quarter last year, the occupancy rate went down by 10 basis points to 97.8 per cent. The market rental income of vacant space as of 31.12.21 was approximately 60 million on an annualised basis.

QUARTERLY NET LETTING

Gross letting, including re-negotiated contracts, was 63 million in the quarter of which 34 million is attributable to letting in the project portfolio. Lease contracts with an annual lease of 27 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 22 million (166 million) in the quarter. For 2021, gross letting was 346 million and lease contracts with a total value of 165

million were terminated. Net letting for the year came in at 8 million. 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.

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.

The property portfolio

Entra's management portfolio consists of 80 properties with a total area of approximately 1.2 million square meters. As of 31.12.21, the management portfolio had a market value of 60.1 billion. The occupancy rate was 97.8 per cent (97.3 per cent). The weighted average lease term for the Group's leases was 6.8 years (6.9) for the management portfolio and 7.1 years (7.1) when the project portfolio is included. For the management portfolio, the public sector represents approximately 56 per cent of the total rental income. The entire property portfolio consists of 96 properties with a market value of 67.5 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 4.44 to 4.24 per cent. 12 months rolling rent per square meter increased from 2,210 to 2,282 mainly driven by projects that are finalized in Central Oslo and by transactions of new properties to the portfolio.

The market rent per square meter has increased by 0.5 per cent from the fourth quarter of 2020, from 2,320 to 2,332.

Projects finalised in the quarter

Entra finalised the refurbishment of 10,100 sqm in Hagegata 22-24 at Tøyen in Oslo. The project area made up almost half of the building, and occupancy in the project space remained at about 85 per cent during the construction period. The project was 100 per cent let.

Transactions

Entra actively seeks to improve the quality of its property portfolio and focuses on acquisitions of selected properties and urban development projects in specific areas within its four core markets: Oslo and the surrounding region, Bergen, Trondheim and Stavanger. Targeted locations include both areas in the city centers and selected clusters on 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 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 Norwegian transaction market for commercial real estate reached record levels in 2021, both in terms of volume and in number of transactions. Total transaction value was around 160 billion in 2021 compared to 113 billion in 2020. The transaction pipeline and activity going into 2022 is solid, and the transaction market is expected to remain strong. Investor surveys show that a very high proportion of investors (80-90 per cent) expect to be net buyers in the next 12 months.

New construction volumes in Oslo ended up well below the yearly average construction volume of approximately 140,000 sqm seen over the period 1998-2021. 2022 is expected to see even less new construction due to fluctuating commodity prices and many projects being postponed during the pandemic.

Year-on-year growth in the November CPI, used to adjust most of Entra's leases, came in at 5.07 per cent in 2021. The financing market is well functioning, particularly for solid counterparties like Entra. The Central Bank of Norway increased the policy rate to 0.5 per cent in December 2021 and has signalled further increases over the next 12 months. There is some concern among investors due to projected increase in key policy rates. Yields are, however, not expected to increase significantly as the real interest rate, as a function of the expected interest rate and inflation figures, is expected to be negative for many years to come.

The activity level in the Oslo letting market was very high in the second half of 2021, and rent levels have been slightly positive during the pandemic. According to Entra's Consensus report, the Oslo office vacancy is expected to decrease towards 6.5 per cent as economic activity and employment growth continues. New-build volumes for the coming years is limited, particularly in the city centre of Oslo. Combined with strong underlying CPI growth, there are expectations for solid market rental growth in the years to come.

Bergen has also proven to be robust during the pandemic. Overall office vacancy is currently around eight per cent and seven per cent in the city centre. There is limited supply and fairly strong demand of modern premises in the city centre. Rent levels in Bergen have increased by around seven per cent during 2021, and there has been downward pressure on yields.

In Trondheim, vacancy in the city centre is around seven per cent and around eight per cent overall. Vacancy is highest in the fringe areas of the city. Rent levels in Central Trondheim have increased by around 10 per cent over the last two years.

In Stavanger, vacancy is around nine per cent. For 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.

Organisation and HSE

At 31.12.21 the Group had 177 (186) employees.

In Q4 2021, Entra had one injury with long term absence from work in the ongoing projects. Entra has a continuous HSE focus and works continually to avoid injuries both in on-going projects and in the operations. Entra had an LTIF rate (number of accidents with lost time per million hours worked in last 12 months) on ongoing projects of 8.1 at the end of the fourth quarter 2021 (4.7 at the end of the fourth quarter 2020).

EU Taxonomy

Entra believes that 100 per cent of its income and investments will be eligible for EU Taxonomy alignment. While actual requirements for alignment are still to be finalised, Entra is prepared to report in accordance with the EU Taxonomy requirements as soon as it is finalised.

Risk management

Entra assesses risk on an ongoing basis, primarily through semi-annually comprehensive reviews of the Group's risk maps, which includes assessments of all risk factors in collaboration with all levels of the organization. Each risk factor is described and presented with the possible negative outcome given an increased probability of a situation to occur. Entra's main risk factors consist of both financial and nonfinancial risk. A thorough description and analysis is included on pages 28-39 in the 2020 annual report.

Share and shareholder information

Entra's share capital is NOK 182,132,055 divided into 182,132,055 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.

As of 2 February 2022, Entra had 4,583 shareholders. Norwegian investors held approximately 10 per cent of the share capital. The 10 largest shareholders (of which most are nominee accounts) as registered in VPS on 2 February 2022 were:

Events after the balance sheet date

On 12 January 2022, Entra closed the acquisition of the Oslo Areal portfolio, with 17 properties in the Greater Oslo Region with property value of 13,550 million.

In January 2022, Entra divested its 50 per cent share in Hinna Park Eiendom to the newly established SVG Property AS ("SVG Property"). As settlement, Entra received 15 per cent of the shares in SVG Property, 64 million through a seller credit and a cash consideration of 99 million. Hinna Park Eiendom will be deconsolidated from Entra's financial statements from closing of the transaction, and the investment in SVG Property will be recognized as a financial asset at fair value through profit and loss.

The annual general meeting in Entra ASA will be held on 22 April 2022. In line with the dividend policy of distributing approximately 60 per cent of Cash Earnings, the board of Entra will propose to distribute a semi-annual dividend of NOK 2.60 per share for the second half of 2021. In October 2021, Entra paid out NOK 2.50 per share for the first six months of 2021. For the financial year 2021, Entra will thus have paid out NOK 5.10 per share, compared to NOK 4.90 per share in 2020. Refer to the section "Alternative performance measures" for calculation of Cash Earnings.

Outlook

When entering what might be the final stage of the Covid-19 pandemic, it is fair to conclude that the Norwegian society and office market has been less affected than most other countries. Further, Entra has proved to be very resilient, and our operations, projects and financial results have been only marginally impacted.

A shift to hybrid work seems abundantly clear for office and knowledge workers. However, both market data and Entra's experience throughout the last two years suggest only marginal cuts in demand for office space, primarily driven by three factors. Firstly, high density at the office is uncomfortable, and employees in general want more room around their desks than previously. Secondly, the office of the future must be more inviting to attract talent, and many tenants plan to implement more spacious, lounge-style, open seating plans and meeting rooms that accommodate a mix of in-person and remote participants. Thirdly, many employees want to work from home on Mondays and Fridays. As such, the need to facilitate for simultaneity in the office means that the shift towards hybrid office solutions might only offers meagre opportunities to economize on office space. In short, employers are reshaping offices to become more inviting social spaces that encourage face-to-face collaboration, creativity, and serendipitous interactions, which will benefit landlords like Entra.

Office rents in Norway have held up well throughout the pandemic, and the activity in the letting market has picked up. 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.

Long-term interest rates have during recent months trailed upwards, which in isolation should impact investors' yield requirements. However, strong CPI growth, that is fully implemented into Entra's tenant contracts, and an expected very positive rental market particularly in Oslo, combined with solid macro and continued good investor appetite for

commercial real estate, should provide a strong mitigating force. The investment market is very active and competitive, and prime yields have remained stable.

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 69 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 69 per cent of its debt portfolio in green bonds and bank loans.

With the acquisition of Oslo Areal, a portfolio of 17 properties located within Entra's existing clusters that was closed on 12 January 2022, Entra has significantly increased its exposure to Oslo and enhanced and expanded Entra's attractive project development pipeline for the years to come.

Even after the fully debt-financed 13.5 billion acquisition of Oslo Areal, 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. Going forward, Entra will optimize and grow its high-quality portfolio and 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.

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.

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 properties in corporate wrappers, with an average tax discount of 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 (NIY) measures the annualised rental income based on the cash rents passing at the balance sheet date, less non-recoverable property operating expenses, divided by the market value of the property, increased with (estimated) purchasers' costs.

EPRA "topped-up" NIY 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).
