HIGHLIGHTS AND SUMMARY OF THE

First quarter of 2023

LETTER FROM THE CEO

A good start

  • Rental income in Q1 was NOK 144.5 million (NOK 83.1 million). The increase is mainly due to growth in the shopping center portfolio in 2022.
  • The quarter's gross tenant turnover in our fully owned centers was NOK 1 813 million, which is a like-for-like growth of 6.3 % compared to Q1 2022. Restaurants and cafés along with clothing stores and shoe stores experienced positive development. Categories closely connected to sales of residential units and vacation homes have had a weaker quarter.
  • In Q1 the occupancy rate was 93.5 %, close to unchanged from last quarter. Leases representing 4.0 % of the portfolio's gross lettable area were extended, maintaining the weighted average lease term of the portfolio at 3.3 years.
  • Alti Forvaltning AS continued its growth announcing three new management contracts in the quarter: Amfi Eikunda, Amfi Flekkefjord and Røa Torg. This brings the total of centers managed by Alti Forvaltning to 41 centers.

Contrary to our expectations, the year began with strong growth in tenant turnover. A low unemployment rate, high expectations for this year's wage growth and redistribution of spending from capital goods to consumer goods are contributing factors to the activity at the shopping centers. This is resulting in strong numbers despite increasing housing costs for consumers such as interest and electricity.

The shopping center portfolio had a tenant turnover in the quarter of NOK 1.8 billion, an increase of 6.3 per cent compared to last year. The development varies between the categories, and we see that categories closely connected to sales of residential units and vacation homes are lagging. Restaurants and cafés

increased expectations for inflation and market rent. This resulted in stable property values last quarter.

Most industries have had a taste of the impact of various macro factors in the last couple of years. The shopping center sector has proven strong so far and continued to do so in the first three months of 2023. Rarely has it been so interesting to follow the

along with clothing stores and shoe stores are among the growth winners.

With tenant turnover remaining at good levels, we experience positivity among tenants with a view to upgrading stores and concepts and establishing new units. At the same time, although the number of bankruptcies is well below the levels before the pandemic, we are noticing an increase.

During the first quarter leases with a total of 2.161 square meters started and 2.213 square meters expired, which results in a close to unchanged occupancy rate. In the same period leases representing 4.0 per cent of the portfolio's gross lettable area were extended, maintaining the weighted average lease term of the portfolio at 3.3 years.

In the external valuation of the shopping center portfolio the continuing increase in interest rates led to an adjustment of the valuation yields of 0.15 percentage points. As countervailing effects, there are

development of customer spending from week to week and the distribution between the industries.

We continuously work to adjust the tenant mix to be as relevant and interesting as possible to our visitors, and we are glad to be opening the second IKEA planning studio in our shopping center portfolio at Gulskogen Senter this summer. This is another step towards developing our strong shopping destinations to also be a hub of services.

All in all, we observe that our shopping centers are resilient in changing market conditions. Occupancy remains high, turnover develops positively, and our centers are attractive locations for new and existing tenants.

Change in GLA could be as a result of acquisition, sale or development of properties, or redefinition of areas from or to common areas or non-lettable areas.

Leases extended are defined as new or extended lease contracts with the same tenant on the same area. All other lease contracts are defined as leases started.

Leases signed (not started) are leases that are signed, but have a later start date than the last day of the quarter. These lease contracts can be for areas that are both vacant and occupied at last day of the quarter. Lease contracts typical for the shopping center industry normally have a start date between three and nine months after the lease is signed.
