Oslo, 17 October 2024 - Rental income was 770 million in Q3 2024 compared to 833
million in Q3 2023. Adjusted for divestments the underlying rental income growth
was 4.4 per cent. Net income from property management was 318 million, stable
from the corresponding quarter in 2023 (319 million) as the reduction in rental
income due to divestments is largely offset by lower interest expenses. Value
changes on the property portfolio were positive by 37 million. Profit before tax
was 156 million (-1 894 million) in the quarter.
Entra's letting activity has been high in recent quarters, with positive net
letting of 41 million in the first half of 2024. Due to a combination of a
slower letting market and termination of three larger contracts, net letting
came in at -76 million in the third quarter. Entra signed new and renegotiated
leases with annual rent totalling 28 million (13 000 sqm) in the quarter. Lease
contracts with an annual rent of 86 million (127 0700 sqm) were terminated. As
of 30 September 2024, the portfolio occupancy was 94.4 per cent (95.6 per cent)
and the average unexpired lease term of contracts was 6.4 (6.2) years.
During the quarter, Entra finalised the newbuild project in Malmskriverveien 16
in Sandvika.
The Board's focus is currently to strengthen the company's balance sheet.
Consequently, the Board has decided to not use the authorisation to pay out
semi-annual dividend for the first half of 2024. Entra's dividend policy remains
unchanged.
