Q: Can you provide more details on the rental market demand and discussions with potential tenants, and the risk for higher vacancy? A: The market is experiencing employment growth, which is positive. However, in Oslo, growth was driven by public sector tenants who are reducing space. The private sector has been in a wait-and-see mode, but we expect more activity following rate cuts. Tenant interest is shifting towards city center locations, where our properties offer more value. Letting processes are lengthy, often taking over a year. We are confident in increasing occupancy to over 95% over time, though short-term vacancy may fluctuate between 93% and 95%. We are prepared for large tenant decisions in 2026, which could impact net letting.

Q: What are the financial highlights from Q4 2025? A: Rental income increased to EUR 787 million, up from EUR 767 million in the previous year. Net income from property management rose to EUR 425 million, driven by a EUR 101 million gain from a forward sale development project. Profit before tax was EUR 476 million, including positive net value changes of EUR 56 million. The board proposed a dividend of 1.1 kroner per share and initiated a share buyback program.

Story Continues  

Q: How is Entra ASA managing its debt and financial metrics? A: Debt metrics improved in Q4, with the leverage ratio decreasing from 48.8% to 48.0% and net debt to EBITDA down to 11.0. The company issued EUR 750 million in new green unsecured bonds and reduced bank lines to optimize funding costs. 68% of debt financing is now green, with capacity for more. The all-in net financial cost is down to 44.31%, and interest rates are expected to remain stable.

Q: What are the strategic priorities for Entra ASA moving forward? A: Entra ASA aims to improve profitability by increasing occupancy and capturing reversion potential through selective project development and asset rotation. The company will maintain a disciplined approach to capital allocation, preserving balance sheet strength and funding flexibility. Future rental income growth will be driven by CPI, letting of vacant space, and capturing reversion potential.

Q: How is the Norwegian economy impacting Entra ASA’s operations? A: The Norwegian economy remains robust, with GDP growth expected between 1.5% and 1.7%. Employment growth is stable, though lower in Oslo due to public sector transitions. The key policy rate was reduced to 4%, with potential for further cuts. CPI adjustments have positively impacted rental income, and the letting market shows promising fundamentals with stable vacancy rates and expected rental growth.
