Oslo, 23 April 2024 – Rental income was up by one per cent to 878 million in Q1 2024 compared to 872 million in Q1 2023. Adjusted for divestments and one-offs the underlying rental income growth was 6.5 per cent. Net income from property management was negatively impacted by higher financing costs and came in at 325 million (391 million) in the quarter. Net value changes were -1 627 million (-451 million) in the quarter, predominantly because of a further 10 bp adjustment of the external appraiser’s discount rates. As a result, loss before tax was -1 313 million (-70 million) in the quarter.

The activity in the letting market continue to be strong and Entra signed new and renegotiated leases with annual rent totaling 162 million (52 200 sqm) in the quarter. The market is characterised by low newbuild activity and limited supply side, particularly for large lease contracts. As of 31.03.24, the portfolio occupancy was 95.3 per cent (96.0 per cent) and the average unexpired lease term of contracts was 6.4 (6.3) years.

During the quarter, Entra signed the agreement to sell the Trondheim portfolio for 6.45 billion. The transaction will close in Q2 2024.
