CEO and founder Emil Eriksrød comments on the performance in 2021:
"2021 has been an exciting year for R8 Property. We successfully listed on Euronext Growth in June, and in 2021, we generated a 19 per cent growth in value adjusted equity, which is well in line with our long-term target of an average annual return of 15 per cent.
In Q4, we saw a significant increase in office occupancy in Oslo, driven by demand for flexible office solutions. The shift in employees' preferences for a more flexible and efficient working day with less time spent commuting has accelerated due to Covid-19. R8 Property identified this development early on and acquired - and further developed - the flex space provider Evolve. In addition, we have established Orbit Technology, a partly owned subsidiary which offers technology solutions that enable office sharing at scale.
We finish the year with a strong performance in the fourth quarter, as demonstrated by our year-end fair value per share of NOK 52.10. The attractiveness of our property portfolio has been confirmed through several new lease contracts which were signed or extended during the year, and the good momentum continues going into 2022.
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 wellpositioned to meet market demand."

FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT
Profit and loss
Net income from property management
The Group had rental income of NOK 31.0 million in Q4-21 compared with NOK 28.4 million in Q4-20. The 9.2 per cent increase is related to changes in the property portfolio and impairments due to Covid-19 last year.
- Total operating income came in at NOK 35.2 million (NOK 34.9 million) in the quarter.
- Total operating cost amounted to NOK 29.1 million (NOK 33.8 million) in the quarter.
- Net operating income from property management came in at NOK 6.1 million (NOK 1.1 million) in the quarter.
From Q4-20 to Q4-21 there have been several changes in the property portfolio. The Group sold three properties, Henrik Ibsensgate 40-42 and Rådhusgata 2 in Q2-21, and Storgata 171-175 in Q4-21. In Q1-21 the Group acquired Fornebuveien 1-3 and Slottsfjell Park. In sum these changes in the property portfolio had a net negative effect of approximately NOK 2 million on rental income. At the same time CPI adjustment has contributed positively as well as there has been a slight increase in occupancy from Q4-20 to Q4-21 resulting in higher rental income. In addition, Q4-20 was a quarter affected by Covid-19 and extraordinary impairments related to rental income of about NOK 1.3 million was made and extraordinary loss provisions of NOK 2.6 million. This had a negative effect on operating costs. In sum, these are the main factors explaining the development in operating income, costs and net income from property management from Q4-20 to Q4-21.
Net financials
Net financials amounted to NOK -19.9 million (NOK -2.5 million) in the quarter. Interest and other finance expenses amounted to NOK 18.5 million (NOK -18.5 million) in the quarter. Net share of loss from associates and joint ventures was NOK 8.0 million (NOK -3.0 million) in the quarter and relates to the Group's investments in R8 Evolve and Orbit Technology. R8 Evolve accounted for NOK -7.5 million and Orbit Technology NOK -0.5 million in the quarter.
Unrealised changes in fair value of financial instruments gave a net negative contribution of NOK 0.8 million (NOK +18.8 million). The change in the quarter is related to the sum of a positive effect from interest swaps (NOK 4 million), and a negative effect from 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 -4.8 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 positive result in Q4-20 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 76.7 million (NOK -1.3 million) in the quarter. Properties with significant changes to highlight in the quarter are increased value of Dokkvegen 20 (project Polymer Exploration Centre), project Slottsfjell Park, Dokkvegen 11 (Powerhouse Telemark), Kammerherreløkka 3 and Mulighetenes By (Arkaden). In Q4-20 the negative value change resulted mainly from Dokkvegen 8 &10 and Kjelleveien 21.
Profit
Profit before tax was NOK 63.0 million (NOK -2.7 million) in the quarter. Profit after tax was NOK 47.4 million (NOK 6.2 million) in Q4-21. For the full-year period 2021, profit before tax was NOK 111.9 million (NOK -45.1 million). Profit after tax was NOK 79.3 million (NOK -26.8 million) in 2021. The increase is mainly driven by positive value changes.
Balance sheet
The Group's assets amounted to NOK 2 934 million (NOK 2 722 million) as of 31.12.21 of which investment property constituted NOK 2 693 million (NOK 2 436 million).
Investments in associates, jointly controlled entities and shares were NOK 73.8 million (NOK 124.6 million) at the end of Q4 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 was reduced from 16.6 per cent to 8.3 per cent in Q3-21. The ownership in Orbit Technology AS has changed from 50 per cent in Q4-20 to 30.5 per cent in Q4-21. In addition, share of loss from associates and joint ventures explains the change from Q4-20 to Q4- 21.
Financial derivates as an asset in the quarter amount to NOK 21.1 million (NOK 46.6 million) and relates to interest swaps and the forward contract to acquire the remaining shares in Inkognitogaten 33 A.
Total current assets came in at NOK 70.5 million (NOK 86.2 million) in Q4-2021.
Financial derivates as a liability in the quarter were NOK 21.1 million (NOK 35.6 million). This is related to interest rate swaps as well as an option to sell shares in Inkognitogaten 33 A AS issued in Q3-21.

Evolve
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.

1) One of the Group's investment properties,Storgata 171-175, have been sold in Q4 for the amount of mNOK 11.35 and hence considered in level 1 of the fair value hierarchy at the Q4 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 %.
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.
