CEO and founder Emil Eriksrød comments on the performance in the second quarter 2021:
"Environmental footprint, innovation and technology are ever more important features for tenants' decision-making process. With our attractive portfolio of sustainable commercial properties centrally located in urban areas and city hubs in Norway, R8 Property is well positioned to meet market demand.
Covid-19 has accelerated the shifts in employees' preferences when it comes to location and digital solutions for a more flexible and efficient working day with less commute. R8 Property identified this trend early and established the coworking company Evolve and Orbit, which offers technology solutions that enable office sharing at scale.
The attractiveness of our property portfolio has been confirmed through several new lease contracts which were signed or extended during the second quarter, and the good momentum has continued going into the third quarter.
We are actively looking into new projects, both new constructions and existing buildings, in line with our ambition to surpass NOK 5 billion in property value at the end of 2023," says Emil Eriksrød, CEO of R8 Property.

FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT
Profit and loss
Net income from property management
The Group's rental income was up by 14.1 per cent from NOK 26.2 million in Q2-20 to NOK 29.9 million in Q2-21, and 9.4 per cent from NOK 54.8 million to NOK 60.0 million for the first six months in 2020 and 2021.
- Total operating income came in at NOK 32.9 million (NOK 30.3 million) in the quarter, and NOK 69.1 million (NOK 62.2 million) in the first half-year.
- Total operating cost amounted to NOK 23.4 million (NOK 15.2 million) in the quarter, and NOK 48.3 million (NOK 32.5 million) in the first half-year.
- Net operating income from property management came in at NOK 9.6 million (NOK 15.0 million) in the quarter, and NOK 20.8 million (NOK 29.7 million) in the first half-year.
In the second quarter of 2021 two properties were sold, Henrik Ibsensgate 40-42 in Oslo and Rådhusgata 2 in Skien. This resulted in a decrease in rental income and associated operating and administrative costs during two months in the quarter. Moreover, Fornebuveien 1-3 and Slottsfjell Park were acquired in the first quarter of 2021 and had a positive contribution with rental income in the entire second quarter. These represent the major changes in the property portfolio from Q2-20 to Q2-21. Besides these transactions, operating income and costs from Q2-20 to Q2- 21 were affected by the two properties Henrik Ibsensgate 40-42 and Powerhouse Telemark. In Q2-20 these properties were newly completed projects and have since then become fully operational properties. In Q1-20 the properties were ongoing projects, which is reflected in lower operating income in the first half-year of 2020 compared to 2021.
Operating costs have increased significantly in the first half-year of 2021 compared to 2020. This is mainly related to the IPO process that took place this spring resulting in R8 Property ASA being listed on Euronext Growth in June 2021. This involves costs related to preparation, including guidance and consultancy amounting to approximately NOK 5 million. In addition, part of the transaction costs related to the divestment of Henrik Ibsensgate 40-42 and Rådhusgata 2 accrued in the second quarter of 2021. The reduction in administrative expenses in the first six months of 2021 compared to 2020 was related to an employee stock option program which was introduced in Q4- 20. In Q2-21 there is a positive change in value of employee stock options reducing administrative expenses in the quarter. The same comments on operating costs are also relevant to the change in costs from Q2-20 to Q2-21.
As a result of the effects presented above, net income from property management has decreased from the first halfyear of 2020 to the first half-year of 2021, as well as from Q2-20 to Q2-21. The main explanation is non-recurring costs related to the IPO and property transactions in the first six months of 2021.
The Group does not have any own used properties in Q2-21 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 Q2-21 compared to some quarters in 2020.
Net financials
Net financials amounted to NOK -41.0 million (NOK -20.4 million) in the quarter, and NOK -38.0 million (NOK -70.3 million) in the first half-year. Interest and other finance expenses amounted to NOK 18.2 million (NOK 15.6 million) in the quarter, and NOK -39.1 million (NOK -31.4 million) in the first half-year. Net share of loss from associates and joint ventures was NOK 9.6 million (NOK -0.9 million) in the quarter and NOK -13.7 million (NOK -1.7 million) in the first half-year and relates to the Group's investments in R8 Evolve and Orbit Technology. R8 Evolve accounted for NOK -8.4 million and Orbit Technology NOK -1.2 million in the quarter. Unrealised changes in fair value of financial instruments gave a net negative contribution of NOK 13.7 million (NOK -4.4 million). The negative change in the quarter comes from a forward contract to acquire the remaining shares in Inkognitogaten 33 A AS (NOK -12 million) and interest rate swaps (NOK -1.7 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 contract resulted in a decrease in fair value in the quarter. For the first half-year of 2021, uunrealised changes in fair value of financial instruments were NOK -1.6 million (-38.5 million), as a result of a positive effect on the fair value of the forward contract in Q1-21. The negative result in Q2-20 was related to interest rate swaps.
Value changes
The valuation of the investment portfolio resulted in a net positive value change of NOK 33.1 million (NOK -26.4 million) in the quarter, and NOK 57.4 million (-79.7 million) in the first six months of 2021. Properties with significant changes to highlight are increased value of Mulighetenes By (Arkaden), Fornebuveien 1-3 and Slottsfjell Park and decreased value of Kjelleveien 21. In the first half of 2020 Covid-19 had a negative effect on the valuations as well as Vestsiden Terasse changed classification from Inventory Property to Investment Property.
Profit
Profit before tax was NOK 1.6 million (NOK -31.8 million) in the quarter and NOK 40.1 million (NOK -121.9) in the first half-year of 2021. Profit after tax was NOK -3.8 million (NOK -27.2 million) in Q2-21 and NOK 28.6 million (NOK -105.8) in the first half-year of 2021.
Balance sheet
The Group's assets amounted to NOK 2 830 million (NOK 2 569 million) as of 30.06.21. Of this, investment property amounted to NOK 2 559 million (NOK 2 423 million).
Investments in associates, jointly controlled entities and shares were NOK 109.6 million (NOK 61.8 million) at the end of Q2 2021. Investments in R8 Evolve AS and Inkognitogaten 33 A AS constitute a large proportion of the balance sheet value.
Financial derivates as an asset in the quarter amount to NOK 29.7 million (NOK 0.0 million) results from a forward contract to acquire the remaining shares in Inkognitogaten 33 A. 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.
Total current assets came in at NOK 75.9 million (NOK 63.2 million) in Q2-2021.
Book equity totalled NOK 903.1 million (NOK 675.6 million), representing an equity ratio of 31.9 per cent (26.3 per cent). Equity per share was NOK 47.6 (NOK 41.9) based on the EPRA NRV standard and NOK 45.0 (NOK 39.3) based on EPRA NTA. Outstanding shares at 31.06.21 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 as a result of R8 Property ASA being listed on Euronext Growth together with a fully subscribed private placement of NOK 75 million in June 2021.
Other information
R8 Evolve AS is not consolidated in the Total Comprehensive Income (TCI) and balance sheet from Q4-20 and going forward.

R8 Evolve was assessed as a subsidiary in Q2 2020, however after a re-assessment this was changed and therefore comparative figures have been restated for this quarter.

1) 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.
2) 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.

SPECIFICATION OF INVESTMENT PROPERTIES
All amounts in NOK thousand
The Groups investment properties is organised into three corporate units: Green Office: properties with energy classification and environmental focus City Office: other ordinary office properties
Commercial Property: properties located in the city center where majority of tenants operates within food & beverage or healthcare
The units do not have their own profit responsibility. Financial results are reported as economical and non-economical key figures ("key performance indicators"). These key performance indicators are reported and analysed by unit to the chief operating decision maker, who is the executive board and the CEO, which are the highest decision-making authority of the Group, for the purpose of resource allocation and assessment of unit performance. The Group reports information based upon these three units.

The calculation of net yield is based on the valuers' assumption of ownership costs, which at 30 June 2021 corresponds to 10% of market rent. The Group has one single external customer representing over 10% of the Group's revenue,that is Helfo with 10,2% of the Gorup's revenue. Furthermore, the Group has around 91% of its estimated marked value of properties and 90% of its rental income geographically from the county of Vestfold Telemark, while the rest is located in the Oslo area.
R8 Property has one ongoing project in Porsgrunn (research center - Polymer Exploration Center). This project is 50% owned by R8 Property. Futhermore, R8 Property are doing feasibility studies on additional five properties.

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 %.
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.
