HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE THIRD QUARTER 2021

  • Solid operational performance reflected in net income from property management of NOK 15.7 million, an increase of approximately NOK 1 million from Q3-20 on continued property (less transactions in the period)
  • Hotel industry picking up following Covid-19, strong occupancy in Q3
  • Positive portfolio value changes of NOK 12.9 million
  • Lease contract with Schlumberger Information Solutions AS confirmed for 2,393 sqm in Fornebuveien 1-3, Lysaker
  • Agreement to enter a 20-year lease contract with Comfort Hotel Skien Brygge AS in the upcoming development project Skien Brygge expected to be finalized and signed before year-end
  • Lease contract with Comfort Hotel Porsgrunn extended by five years. The revised lease contract will end in February 2039
  • Growing preference for flexible working conditions continues to boost demand for office sharing concept R8 Evolve (75 per cent ownership) and the technology solutions provider Orbit Technology (35.5 per cent ownership)

Subsequent events

• Agreement on sale of two properties, Storgata 106 og Storgata 171-175 in Porsgrunn

CEO and founder Emil Eriksrød comments on the performance in the third quarter 2021:

"During the third quarter we saw activity picking up in the hotel and business industry, and the attractiveness of our property portfolio was confirmed through several new lease contracts which were signed or extended during the quarter.

The shift in employees' preferences for a more flexible and efficient working day with less commute continues. R8 Property identified this trend early on and established our partly owned subsidiary Orbit Technology, which offers technology solutions that enable office sharing at scale, in addition to enhancing the coworking company Evolve.

The US market represents an exciting untapped potential for Orbit Technology, beyond our Norwegian base. This autumn, Orbit Technology established a US subsidiary called Getorbit.com LCC. to get a presence in the US market. Although this is clearly at an early stage, it is an opportunity we are excited to look more into.

As part of our growth strategy, we are also actively looking into new projects, both new constructions (greenfield) and development of existing buildings (brownfield).

The construction industry is responsible for about 40 per cent of global carbon emissions, and in R8 Property we want to take our share of responsibility for helping to reduce climate emissions. In 2020 we completed Powerhouse Telemark, one of the world's most spectacular and energy-efficient buildings, and this year we have launched plans to develop Powerhouse Tønsberg as part of the Slottsfjell Park project.

Our ambition is that Slottsfjell Park, located at the entrance to Tønsberg, will become the world's very first Paris Proof quarter. The buildings will have climate neutral use of materials, as well as innovative technology from Orbit Technology, which optimize the use of office and meeting spaces. The park will also consist of a hotel and restaurants and will be combined with rehabilitated buildings and a new Powerhouse. The project will be divided into two or three phases, and the expected start is no earlier than 2023," says Emil Eriksrød, CEO of R8 Property.

FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT

Profit and loss

Net income from property management

The Group had rental income of NOK 29.5 million in Q3-21 compared with NOK 30.9 million in Q3-20. The 4.5 per cent reduction is related to changes in the property portfolio.

  • Total operating income came in at NOK 32.9 million (NOK 35.4 million) in the quarter.
  • Total operating cost amounted to NOK 17.2 million (NOK 18.1 million) in the quarter.
  • Net operating income from property management came in at NOK 15.7 million (NOK 17.3 million) in the quarter.

From Q3-20 to Q3-21 there have been several changes in the property portfolio. The Group sold three properties, Nordre Fokserød 14 in Q4-20 and Henrik Ibsensgate 40-42 and Rådhusgata 2 in Q2-21. In Q1-21 the Group acquired Fornebuveien 1-3 and Slottsfjell Park. This is the main explanation for the development in operating income, costs and net income from property management. In sum these changes in the property portfolio had a net negative effect around NOK 3.5 million on rental income. Net income from property management in Q3-21 would be approximately NOK 1 million higher compared to Q3-20 on continued property (adjusted for transactions in the period).

The Group does not have any own used properties in Q3-21 as R8 Evolve AS is not consolidated in the Total Comprehensive Income from Q4-20 and going forward. As a consequence, there is no specification of rental income from own used properties in Q3-21.

Net financials

Net financials amounted to NOK -19.8 million (NOK 28.0 million) in the quarter. Interest and other finance expenses amounted to NOK 16.1 million (NOK 16.3 million) in the quarter. Net share of loss from associates and joint ventures was NOK 9.0 million (NOK -2.2 million) in the quarter and relates to the Group's investments in R8 Evolve and Orbit Technology. R8 Evolve accounted for NOK -7.3 million and Orbit Technology NOK -1.7 million in the quarter.

Unrealised changes in fair value of financial instruments gave a net positive contribution of NOK 4.5 million (NOK 46.2 million). The positive change in the quarter mainly comes from interest swaps (NOK 9.3 million). In addition, the effect relates to a forward contract to acquire the remaining shares in Inkognitogaten 33 A AS and a put option issued in Q3-21 to sell 50 per cent of these shares (in total NOK -4.85 million). The forward contract was originally an option and during the second quarter of 2021 the Group made an irreversible commitment to buy the underlying asset and consequently considers the option as a forward contract until the settlement date which is estimated in Q2 2022. The negative result in Q3-20 was related to the call option in Inkognitogaten 33 A AS.

Value changes

The valuation of the investment portfolio resulted in a net positive value change of NOK 12.9 million (NOK 34.2 million) in the quarter. Properties with significant changes to highlight in the quarter are increased value of Kammerherreløkka 3 and 5 and Dokkvegen 20 (project Polymer Exploration Centre), and reduced value of Fornebuveien 1-3. In Q3-20 the positive value change resulted from Dokkvegen 11 (Powerhouse Telemark) and Henrik Ibsensgate 40-42, both projects which were finally completed in this quarter.

Profit

Profit before tax was NOK 8.7 million (NOK 79.5 million) in the quarter. Profit after tax was NOK 3.3 million (NOK 72.8 million) in Q3-21.

Balance sheet

The Group's assets amounted to NOK 2 837 million (NOK 2 723 million) as of 30.09.21 of which investment property constituted NOK 2 590 million (NOK 2 508 million).

Investments in associates, jointly controlled entities and shares were NOK 83.5 million (NOK 83.7 million) at the end of Q3 2021. Investments in R8 Evolve AS, Orbit Technology AS and Inkognitogaten 33 A AS constitute a large proportion of the balance sheet value. The ownership in Inkognitogaten 33 A AS is reduced from 16.6 per cent to 8.3 per cent in Q3-21. The ownership in R8 Evolve AS and Orbit Technology AS has changed from Q3-20 to Q3-21, with a net positive effect on investments in associates, jointly controlled entities and shares.

Financial derivates as an asset in the quarter amount to NOK 29.2 million (NOK 40.6 million) and relates to the forward contract to acquire the remaining shares in Inkognitogaten 33 A.

Total current assets came in at NOK 55.4 million (NOK 67.4 million) in Q3-2021.

Financial derivates as a liability in the quarter were NOK 29.2 million (NOK 48.7 million). This is related to fair value change of interest rate swaps, as well as an option to sell shares in Inkognitogaten 33 A AS issued in Q3-21.

Book equity totalled NOK 905.3 million (NOK 749.1 million), representing an equity ratio of 31.9 per cent (27.5 per cent). Equity per share was NOK 43.2 (NOK 44.3) based on the EPRA NRV standard and NOK 40.5 (NOK 41.2) based on EPRA NTA.

Outstanding shares at 30.09.21 totalled 21 694 324. The number of outstanding shares increased from 19 720 640 at the end of Q1-21 to 21 694 324 on 30 June 2021 in connection with R8 Property ASA being listed on Euronext Growth.

Other information

As from Q4-20, R8 Evolve AS is not consolidated in the Total Comprehensive Income (TCI) and balance sheet. This is a due to changes in associated agreements regarding control influence. R8 Evolve was assessed as a subsidiary in Q3 2020, however after a re-assessment this was changed and therefore comparative figures have been restated for this quarter.

Orbit Technology AS is not consolidated in the Total Comprehensive Income (TCI) from Q1-21 and balance sheet from Q4-2020 and going forward. This is a due to changes in ownership.

Cash flow statement

Net cash flow from operating activities came in at NOK 12.6 million (NOK 6.9 million) in the quarter.

The net cash flow from investment activities was NOK 1.6 million (NOK -80.4 million) in the quarter.

Net cash flow from financing activities was NOK -10.5 million (NOK 72.1 million) in the quarter.

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of Q3-21 came in at NOK 21.8 million (NOK 16.7 million).

Financing

R8 Property's total interest-bearing nominal debt as of 30.09.21 was NOK 1 752 million (NOK 1 750 million). During the third quarter the total interest-bearing nominal debt increased by NOK 6 million. The increase was mainly due to refinancing and progress in construction projects with ongoing construction loans.

R8 Property is not in breach of any covenant requirements at the end of Q3-21.

Interest bearing debt and maturity structure

The average remaining term for the Group's debt portfolio was 3.8 years at 30.09.21.

Evolve offers flexible workplaces with access to 27 locations. To meet the office users changed behaviour needs after Covid-19, R8 has launched R8 Hybrid. R8 Hybrid is a combination of an ordinary, permanent lease and a membership in Evolve Business Space. The benefits are many: The employer keeps their environment, meeting points and predictability that comes with a traditional office; the employees get flexibility to work efficiently where they want and reduced commuting time. In addition, users get access to video conferencing and beautiful meeting rooms, all closer to where people live. For R8 Property, this is a unique tool and competitive advantage, that adapts to the "new normal" in working life, post-Covid. Many companies can manage with fewer fixed square meters, when a possible shortage of space in "peak hours" can be covered through access to available capacity in Evolve.

R8 owns 75 per cent of R8 Evolve. As of 30.09.21 the investment had a book value of NOK 49.1 million. An external valuation of the company is expected in Q4-21.

1) Two of the Group's investment properties, Storgata 106 and Storgata 171-175, will be sold in Q4 for the amount of mNOK 38.35 and hence considered in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy at the Q3 report.

2) Financial derivatives as an asset relates to a forward contract to acquire the remaining shares in Inkognitogaten 33 A AS. The forward contract was originally an option and during the second quarter of 2021 the Group made an irreversible commitment to buy the underlying asset and as a consequense, consideres the option as a forward contract untill the settlement date which is estimated in Q2 2022. The contract give rise to a decrease in fair value during the quarter.

3) The investment of shares in Inkognitogaten 33 A AS is measured using fair value considering that fair value can be measured accurately and reliably for this investment. The other investments in associates and jointly controlled entities is measured at amortised cost because the fair value can not be measured in a reliable and sufficient way.

4) Derivatives consist of both fair value of interest rate swaps and fair value of option contracts.

EPRA NET ASSET VALUE METRICS

EPRA NET REINSTATEMENT VALUE (NRV):

The objective of the EPRA Net Reinstatement Value measure is to highlight the value of net assets on a long-term basis. 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. Since the aim of the metric is to also reflect what would be needed to recreate the company through the investment markets based on its current capital and financing structure, related costs such as real estate trasfer taxes should be included. NRV does not include any real estate transfer tax as property transactions in Norway generally do not levied such taxes, hence no adjustments for RETT is being done.

EPRA NET TANGIBLE ASSETS (NTA):

The underlying assumption behind the EPRA Net Tangible Assets calculation assumes entities buy and sell assets, thereby crystallising levels of deferred tax liability. The Group has chosen the second option in the EPRA BPR to adjust for deferred tax, estimating the real tax liability based on how the company has completed property transactions lately.

EPRA NET DISPOSAL VALUE (NDV):

Shareholders are interested in understanding the full extent of liabilities and resulting shareholder value if company assets are sold and/or liabilities are not held until maturity. For this purpose, the EPRA Net Disposal Value provides the reader with a scenario where deferred tax, financial instruments, and certain other adjustments are calculated as to the full extent of their liability, including tax exposure not reflected in the Balance Sheet, net of any resulting tax. This measure should not be viewed as a "liquidation NAV" because, in many cases, fair values do no represent liquidation values.

1) The Group's est. real deferred tax related to temporary differences of properties has been calculated to 1.0 %. The deferred tax adjustment is calculated based on a discount rate of 7.0 % and the assumption that 50 % of the property portfolio are realized in 50 years in transactions structured as sale of companies in which the tax discount is 7.5 %. The same presumptions in regards to the realisation of 50 % of the property portfolio applies for the treatment of deferred tax asset on losses carried forward, but with a tax discount of 8.0%. The other half of losses carried forward is expected to be realised over the next 30 years, starting 5 years after the reporting date and with an equivalent amount each year thereafter. The losses carried forward is discounted with a rate of 7.0 %. The real tax liability related to the gains/losses account is estimated by anticipating an amortisation of 20 % annually and a discount rate of 7.0 %.

Information related to adjustment of reported EPRA NAV metrics for Q2-21:

The EPRA NAV metrics (EPRA NRV, EPRA NTA and EPRA NDV) for Q2-21 have been adjusted from the previous report (report of the first half-year and second quarter of 2021). Related to the closing process of the reporting of EPRA NAV metrics for Q3-21, a misstatement related to the calculation of the metrics per Q2-21 was detected.

EPRA NET INITIAL YIELD (NIY)

EPRA NIY is calculated on the basis of annulised rental income at the balance sheet date, less non-recoverable property operating expenses, divided by the gross market value of the property, grossed up with (estimated) purchaser's costs.

EPRA 'topped-up' NIY incorporates an adjustment to the EPRA NIY for the expiration of rent-free periods and other unexpired lease incentives such as discounted rent periods and step rents.
