Results

Rental income

Rental income was up 12 per cent from 781 million in Q1 2022 to 872 million in Q1 2023. The changes in rental income are explained by the factors in the income bridge below.

Q1-23

Net contribution from development projects was 39 million compared to the same quarter last year. During the last 12 months, Entra has finalised several redevelopment and newbuild projects, contributing a total of 49 million on rental income compared to last year. During the same period Entra has vacated Nedre Vollgate 11 in Oslo and Brattørkaia 13B in Trondheim for redevelopment and has thus reduced the rental income by 10 million in the quarter.

The acquisition of the Oslo Areal portfolio in January 2022 contributed with 18 million in the quarter compared to the same quarter last year. In the same period, the divestment of Karenslyst allé 8 A and B in Oslo, Borkenveien 1-3 in Sandvika, the Hinna Park portfolio in Stavanger and Konggata 51 and Grønland 32 in Drammen reduced rental income in the quarter by 19 million.

Compared to Q1 last year, rental income has been positively affected by an underlying like-for-like growth of 6.7 per cent (43 million), of which the CPI adjustment was 6.5 per cent (41 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, effective 1 January the following year.

Other effects in the quarter of 11 million is mainly related to three lease buyout agreements with a positive one-off effect of 12 milllon compared to the same quarter last year.

Average 12 months rolling rent per square meter was 2,454 (2,284) as of 31.03.23. The increase in 12 months rolling rent over the last four quarters is mainly a result of acquisitions and finalised projects with higher income per sqm.

Compared to the same quarter last year, the occupancy rate went down by 130 basis points to 96.0 per cent (97.3 per cent as of 31.03.22). The market rental income assessment of vacant space as of 31.03.23 was estimated to 147 million on an annualised basis.

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. CPI adjustment with effect for 2024 is estimated to 4.5 per cent. The graph does not reflect any letting targets on the vacant areas in the portfolio or on contracts that will expire, 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. There is upside in the above graph with regards to letting of vacant space and potential rent uplift on a relatively large share of tenant renegotiations in 2023, but also a possible downside of up to 50 million in rental income for 2023 compared to the graph above if these leases are not renewed.

Operating costs

Total operating costs amounted to 74 million (64 million) in the quarter, and is split as follows:

All amounts in NOK million Q1-23 Q1-22
Maintenance 4 5
Tax, leasehold, insurance 19 17
Letting and prop. adm. 29 25
Direct property costs 22 16
Operating costs 74 64

The increase in direct property costs is mainly driven by increased vacancy and higher energy prices. For areas occupied by tenants, the tenants are paying the full energy costs.

Net operating income

As a consequence of the effects explained above, net operating income came in at 798 million (717 million) in the quarter.

Other revenues and other costs

Other revenues were 18 million (20 million) in the quarter, and other costs were 12 million (19 million). Other revenue and other costs mainly consists of additional services provided to tenants and income and costs related to inventory properties (properties in the Bryn portfolio which will be zoned for residential development and subsequently sold to a third party at a predetermined price).

Administrative costs

Administrative costs amounted to 48 million (65 million) in the quarter. The decrease is mainly driven by one-off costs in the first quarter of 2022 following the acquisition of Oslo Areal.

Interest and other finance expense -376 -217

All amounts in NOK million Q1-23 Q1-22

Net realised financials have increased since the first quarter last year due to a combination of higher Nibor interest rates on floating rate debt and higher interest-bearing debt. The increase in interest-bearing debt is mainly driven by the acquisition of the Oslo Areal portfolio that was completed in January 2022.

Net income and net income from property management

Net income came in at 382 million (438 million) in the quarter. When including only the profit from property management in the results from associates and JVs, Net income from property management for the Group was 391 million (433 million). For calculation of Net income from property management, see the section Alternative performance measures.

NET INCOME FROM PROPERTY MANAGEMENT PER SHARE

(Annualised, rolling 4 quarters)

Value changes

Net value changes amounted to -451 million (3,146 million) in the quarter.

The quarterly valuation of the property portfolio by two external appraisers, resulted in negative changes in value of investment properties of 421 million (positive 2,837 million). The negative value change is predominantly due to an adjustment of the appraisers' estimated required rate of return, with some offsetting effects on the value changes from other factors such as market rent expectations, reduced risk in the project portfolio and letting effects.

Changes in value of financial instruments were -30 million (309 million) in the quarter, mainly explained by lower interest rates.

Tax

Tax payable of 3 million (4 million) in the quarter is related to the partly owned entity Papirbredden in Drammen. The change in deferred tax was 21 million (-765 million).

Profit/loss

Loss before tax was 70 million (profit of 3,583 million) in the quarter, mainly due to the changes in value of investment properties more than off-setting the healthy operating performance. Loss after tax was 53 million (profit of 2,814 million), which also equals the comprehensive income for the period.

EPRA Earnings

EPRA Earnings amounted to 285 million (318 million) in the quarter.

Balance sheet

The Group's assets amounted to 81,761 million (85,891 million) as of 31.03.23. Of this, investment properties, including investment properties held for sale, amounted to 78,414 million (82,713 million).

Long-term receivables and other assets, including other operating assets, which until 2023 was presented as a separate line item, increased to 665 million (650 million) at the end of the quarter.

Inventory properties of 475 million (472 million) at the end of the quarter relates to the properties expected to be zoned for residential development at Bryn in Oslo, and subsequently sold to a third party at a predetermined price.

Borrowings were 40,338 million (39,113 million) as of 31.03.23, of which 21,589 million were bank financing, 17,849 million were bonds outstanding and 900 million were commercial papers.

Book equity totalled 31,612 million (36,058 million) at 31.03.23. EPRA NRV per share was 207 (235) and EPRA NTA 204 (233).

Cash flow statement

Net cash flows from operating activities came in at 359 million (465 million) in the quarter. The decrease mainly relates to lower net income from property management and working capital movements.

The net cash flows from investment activities were -70 million (-13,139 million) in the quarter. Proceeds from property transactions of 312 million (1,120 million) in the quarter is related to the divestment of Grønland 32. The cash effect from

investment in and upgrading of investment properties was -395 million (-768 million).

Net cash flows from financing acitivites were -195 million (12,533 million) in the quarter. During the quarter, Entra had a net decrease in bank financing of 826 million, partly offset by a net increase in bond and commercial paper financing of 552 million and 80 million, respectively.

The net change in cash and cash equivalents was 94 million (-140 million) in the quarter.

Financing

In the quarter, Entra re-opened three green bond loans with total nominal value of 1,100 million. The bond loans were issued below par value, with proceeds from the issues of 997 million. In addition, Entra issued commercial paper loans of 1,200 million.

As of 31.03.23, net nominal interest-bearing debt after deduction of liquid assets of 319 million (168 million) was 40,414 million (39,269 million).

Effective leverage as of 31.03.23 was 49.9 per cent (46.1 per cent) and EPRA LTV was 52.8 per cent (48.2 per cent).

The average remaining term for the Group's debt portfolio was 4.1 years at 31.03.23 (4.5 years as of 31.03.22 and 4.3 years as of 31.12.22). The calculation takes into account that available long-term credit facilities can replace short-term debt.

Entra's financing is mainly based on negative pledge of the Group's assets, which enables a broad and flexible financing mix. As of 31.03.23, approximately 87 per cent of the Group's assets were non-pledged, and 47 per cent (53 per cent) of the Group's financing came from debt capital markets.

Interest rates and maturity structure

The average nominal interest rate1) of the debt portfolio was 3.59 per cent (2.28 per cent) as at 31.03.23. The change in average interest rate mainly stems from higher market interest rates. The average nominal interest rate as of 31.03.23 is lower compared to 31.12.22 (3.70 per cent) mainly due to the effect of forward starting fixed rate swaps becoming ordinary payer swaps during the quarter. The average effective interest rate of the debt portfolio was 3.74 per cent as of 31.03.23. The effective interest rate is higher than the nominal interest rate mainly due to bond issuances below par value.

As of 31.03.23, Entra's portfolio of fixed interest rate hedges had a total volume of 22,709 million (21,616 million) and an average term to maturity of 4.6 years (5.1 years). 51 per cent (46 per cent) of the Group's debt financing was hedged at a fixed interest rate as at 31.03.23.

As of 31.03.23, credit margins for the debt portfolio had an weighted average fixed term of 2.3 years (2.7 years).

The Group manages interest rate risk through floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps and fixed rate bonds. The table below shows the maturity profile and contribution from these fixed rate instruments, as well as the maturity profile for credit margins on debt.

The property portfolio

Entra's management portfolio consists of 90 properties with a total area of approximately 1.4 million square meters. As of 31.03.23, the management portfolio had a market value of 73.4 billion. The occupancy rate was 96.0 per cent (97.3 per cent). The weighted average lease term for the Group's leases was 6.1 years (6.4 years) for the management portfolio and 6.3 years (6.6 years) when the project portfolio is included. For the management portfolio, the public sector represents approximately 57 per cent (55 per cent) of the total rental income. The entire property portfolio consists of 102 properties with a market value of 78.4 billion.

All of Entra's properties have in the first quarter been valued by two external appraisers: Newsec and Cushman & Wakefield Realkapital. 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 required rate of return 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 and development sites are valued based on the same principles, but with deduction for remaining investments and perceived risk as of valuation date. Unzoned land is valued based on the appraisers' assumptions on the market value of the land using the best estimate on the zoning and development process.

Year-on-year, the portfolio net yield has increased from 3.88 per cent to 4.32 per cent. From 31 December 2022, the net yield increased by 2 basis points from 4.30. 12 months rolling rent per square meter increased from 2,284 to 2,454, mainly driven by CPI growth, acquisitions and projects that are finalised in Central Oslo.

The market rent per square meter has increased by 7.0 per cent from the first quarter of 2022, from 2,477 to 2,652.

1) See the section "Definitions". The calculation of net yield is based on the appraisers' assumption of ownership costs, which at 31.03.23 is 6.6 per cent of market rent.

Letting activity

During the first quarter, Entra signed new and renegotiated leases with an annual rent totaling 103 million (38,900 sqm), of which 32 million is attributable to the project portfolio. Lease contracts with an annual rent of 54 million (23,600 square meters) were terminated in the quarter. Net letting came in at 5 million (-17 million) in the quarter.

Net letting is calculated as the annualised rent of new lease contracts plus lease-up on renegotiated contracts less terminated contracts. 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. Reference is made to the project development section for further information regarding project completion.

Significant lease contracts in the quarter

  • Renegotiated 10-year contract with The Norwegian Directorate for Education and Training for 5,630 sqm in Schweigaards gate 15B in Oslo
  • New 3-year contract with Trondheim Torg for 5,500 sqm in Holtermanns veg 1-13 phase 2 in Trondheim

Market development

The current market volatility caused by high inflation and increasing interest rates have slowed down the activity in the property transaction market and put upward pressure on yields. In Q1 2023, the total transaction volume for commercial real estate in Norway was down to around 11 billion compared to 34 billion in Q1 2022. The activity is expected to pick up again in the second half of 2023 as buyers and sellers get more aligned on price levels, also assuming financing become more available and attractive. The underlying interest for centrally located office properties particularly with value-add potential remains intact, and there are indications that foreign investors again are more active in the Norwegian property market. Prime yield in Oslo is currently at around 4 per cent and is expected to reach a top of around 4.2 per cent in 2023, according to Entra's Consensus Report.

The new-build volume in Oslo has been and is expected to continue to be limited going forward. The significant increase in construction costs creates a temporary imbalance in return calculations, and new-build projects continue to be postponed.

Year-on-year growth in the November CPI, used to adjust most of Entra's leases in the following year, came in at 5.1 per cent in 2021 and 6.5 per in 2022.

The activity level in the Oslo letting market has been strong, and there has been a broad and robust growth in market rents over the last years. Particularly so in 2022 where market rents were up by more than 10 per cent. According to Entra's Consensus Report, office vacancy in Oslo is expected to increase slightly in the coming years, although from low levels. The combination of low vacancy and low new build volumes give room for continued market rental growth in the years to come although at a slower pace than seen over the last years.

In Bergen, the overall office vacancy is currently around eight per cent and six per cent in the city centre. The activity level in the letting market is high, and there is limited supply and solid demand for modern premises in the city centre.

The Trondheim office market has seen a strong development in recent years. Overall vacancy in Trondheim is now at record low levels below five per cent. Rent levels in Central Trondheim increased by 10-20 per cent in 2022 depending on location and asset quality.

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 organisation. 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 2022 annual report.

Events after the balance sheet date

The Board has proposed that the annual general meeting (AGM) to be held today approves the distribution of a dividend of NOK 2.50 per share for the second half of 2022. The Board has also proposed that the AGM grants the Board an authorisation to resolve distribution of dividends for the first half of 2023, in accordance with the dividend policy.

Considering the current market situation, the Board wishes to signal that the decision will be affected by the future development in the financing and property market, and that such decision may be to retain up to 100 % of the cash flow in order to strengthen the company's balance sheet. Such decision will be made in October 2023.

Outlook

Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the following geopolitical uncertainty has added momentum to already high inflation levels. Central banks, trying to mitigate the inflation, hiked key policy rates, and higher interest rates are making an impact on the economies. Whilst it still is difficult to make meaningful assessments of the actual impact on the global economy, higher global demand for energy has provided, and is expected to continue to provide, further stimulus to an already strong Norwegian, energy-producing economy. The uniquely strong fiscal position of Norway, with an all-time high sovereign wealth fund, continues to smooth business cycles and improve the performance of the Norwegian economy, thus Norway still stands out on a significantly more positive tangent than almost all other countries.

Both Norwegian market data and Entra's experience suggest only marginal impact from Covid-19 on demand for office space. Norwegian employers are seeking attractive, central locations and reshaping offices to become more inviting social spaces that encourage face-to-face collaboration, creativity, and serendipitous interactions, which will benefit office property owners like Entra.

The demand for offices particularly in Oslo is still strong, driven by a combination of positive employment growth and limited supply of new office capacity, the latter following limited start of new office projects during the last two-three years. Entra is thus well positioned in a solid Norwegian economy and a property market with low office vacancy rates and expectations for continued rental growth. And, as proven during the pandemic, Entra's high quality tenants provide a stable and solid fundament for the company's future revenues and cash flow.

Interest rates and credit margins have during the last year moved sharply upwards, which impacts capital intensive industries like the real estate industry. Real estate companies with relatively short debt maturities, high volumes of debt maturing in the near future, exotic debt structures and higher gearing are particularly impacted both in terms of availability of funding and increased cost of debt. Even though Entra is in a different situation, the company's cost of debt has also increased significantly but is expected to stabilise around current levels in the next quarters.

Entra's high credit quality and strong and long-lasting relationship with its five Nordic partner banks, as evidenced by the company's securing new and extending existing bank facilities and continuing to issue new bonds and commercial papers during the last three quarters, is expected to contribute to competitive access to funding also going forward.

The Central Bank of Norway was one of the very first central banks to raise policy rates, and to signal that they are now

approaching peak levels in this business cycle. The policy rate was raised to 3.0 per cent in March and is expected to level out around 3.5 per cent during mid 2023.

The value of Entra's property portfolio has decreased by around 7 per cent since peak valuations in Q1 2022, with an effective net yield expansion of approximately 65 basis points. CPI growth of 6.5 per cent in 2022, that was 98 per cent implemented into Entra's tenant contracts from 1 January 2023, high CPI growth expected also in 2024, and an expected continued positive rental market, supported by limited new construction activity, particularly in Oslo, should provide a mitigating force to potentially higher yield levels. The commercial real estate market is one of few asset classes that provide investors with inflation protection.

Divestments of five assets in Oslo and Drammen during the last half year of 2.2 billion, and in line with the most recent book values, to four different investors indicate that Entra's assets are attractive for several types of buyers. Nevertheless, we note increased uncertainty amongst investors primarily driven by increased financing costs. The company is continuing to strengthen the balance sheet and has several active divestment processes ongoing.

Sustainability has been an integrated part of Entra's business model for almost 15 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. A significant part of Entra's modern and energy efficient management portfolio is currently, or is in the process of being, BREEAM certified, and Entra is thus well positioned for the upcoming EU Taxonomy and EPBD regulations.

Entra has a well staggered debt maturity profile with limited amounts of debt maturing in the near future, and a diversified financing mix with an ample supply of unutilised credit facilities. Entra will continue to optimise its high-quality management and project portfolio through asset rotation, and with strong focus on capital discipline and capital allocation. Entra will focus on its recognised role as an urban developer and leverage its competitive advantages and ESG leadership.

Uncertainty, particularly in the financial markets, will likely prevail also in the months to come. However, Entra, operating in a strong Norwegian economy with modern, flexible and environmentally friendly assets located in attractive clusters near public transportation hubs, a solid tenant base with long lease contracts, a strong financial position, and an attractive project pipeline for future growth, 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.

The details for the calculation of the performance measures are shown on the following pages.

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 are 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 divestment 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 the 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 realised 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 illustrates 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 realisation 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).

The value of "Investment property - share of JVs" is from Q1-23 updated to reflect Entra's ownership in the JVs consolidated in Entra's financial statements as the annualised net rents exclude the net rents attributable to non-controlling interests. Comparative figures are updated.

D. EPRA VACANCY RATE

F. EPRA LTV

Loan-to-Value (LTV) is an expression of the gearing of a company. In the BPR guidelines released in March 2022, EPRA introduced guidance on recommended LTV disclosure called EPRA LTV. The main overarching concepts in EPRA LTV are: (1) any capital which is not equity (i.e. which value accrues to the shareholders of the company) is considered as debt irrespective of its IFRS classification, (2) assets are included at fair value, net debt at nominal value, and (3) the EPRA LTV is calculated based on proportional consolidation (i.e. include the Group's share in the net debt and net assets of joint ventures and material associates). Entra has included its share of net debt and net assets in all joint ventures. In the periods disclosed below, Entra has no material associated companies.

Combined Net payables as of 31.03.22 is consequently increased from 426 million to 747 million, increasing the combined EPRA LTV from 48.2 per cent to 48.6 per cent

4) The total combined nominal value of interest-bearing debt as of 31.12.22 was in the report for Q4 2022 reported as 40,983 million, resulting in a reported EPRA LTV of 52.5 %. The calculation was in the annual report for 2022 updated to reflect the actual combined nominal value of interest-bearing debt of 41,213 million and EPRA LTV of 52.8 %.
