Consolidated results
For first quarter 2024, the company reported earnings of $75 million, or 35 cents per share, on an as-reported basis, and earnings of $230 million, or $1.08 per share, on an adjusted basis. This compared to first quarter 2023 earnings of $311 million, or $1.47 per share, on an as-reported basis, and earnings of $242 million, or $1.14 per share, on an adjusted basis.
Summary discussions by business follow. Additional details, including information on OCF by business, are provided in Appendix A. An analysis of variances by business is provided in Appendix B.
Business segment results
Utility
For first quarter 2024, the Utility business reported earnings attributable to Entergy Corporation of $195 million, or 91 cents per share, on an as-reported basis, and earnings of $350 million, or $1.64 per share, on an adjusted basis. This compared to first quarter 2023 earnings of $397 million, or $1.87 per share, on an as-reported basis and $329 million, or $1.55 per share, on an adjusted basis. Several drivers contributed to the quarter’s results.
First quarter 2024 results included the write off of a $132 million ($97 million after tax) regulatory asset at Entergy Arkansas related to the opportunity sales proceeding (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings).
First quarter 2024 results also included a regulatory charge of $(79 million) ($(57 million) after tax) recorded by Entergy New Orleans to reflect the company’s agreement to share additional income tax benefits from the 2016–2018 IRS audit resolution with customers (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings).
In first quarter 2023, as a result of E-LA receiving securitization proceeds for storm cost recovery, the company recorded the following (considered adjustments and excluded from adjusted earnings):
•a $129 million reduction in income tax expense,
•$31 million of carrying costs on storm expenditures not previously recorded,
(more)

•a $(15 million) reduction in other income to account for LURC’s 1 percent beneficial interest in a trust established as part of the securitization, and
•a $(103 million) ($(76 million) after tax) regulatory provision to share the benefits from securitization with customers.
Other drivers for the quarter included higher operating expenses including other O&M and depreciation expense.
These drivers were partially offset by:
•the net effect of regulatory actions across the operating companies,
•higher other income (deductions) primarily from affiliate preferred investments (largely offset at P&O) and lower non-service pension costs, and
•higher retail sales volume including the effects of weather.
Appendix C contains additional details on Utility operating and financial measures.
Parent & Other
For first quarter 2024, Parent & Other reported a loss attributable to Entergy Corporation of $(120 million), or (56) cents per share, on an as-reported and an adjusted basis. This compared to a first quarter 2023 loss of $(86 million), or (41) cents per share, on an as-reported and an adjusted basis.
The primary driver for the quarter-over-quarter decline was other income (deductions) due primarily to dividends associated with affiliate preferred investments (largely offset at Utility).
Earnings per share guidance
Entergy affirmed its 2024 adjusted EPS guidance range of $7.05 to $7.35. See webcast presentation for additional details.
The company has provided 2024 earnings guidance with regard to the non-GAAP measure of adjusted earnings per share. This measure excludes from the corresponding GAAP financial measure the effect of adjustments as described below under “Non-GAAP financial measures.” The company has not provided a reconciliation of such non-GAAP guidance to guidance presented on a GAAP basis because it cannot predict and quantify with a reasonable degree of confidence all of the adjustments that may occur during the period. Potential adjustments include the exclusion of regulatory charges related to outstanding regulatory complaints and significant income tax items.

leader in sustainability and corporate citizenship. Since 2018, we have delivered more than $100 million in economic benefits each year to local communities through philanthropy, volunteerism, and advocacy. Entergy is headquartered in New Orleans, Louisiana, and has approximately 12,000 employees.
Entergy Corporation’s common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and NYSE Chicago under the symbol “ETR”.
Details regarding Entergy’s results of operations, regulatory proceedings, and other matters are available in this earnings release, a copy of which will be filed with the SEC, and the webcast presentation. Both documents are available on Entergy’s Investor Relations website at www.entergy.com/investors.
Entergy maintains a web page as part of its Investor Relations website, entitled Regulatory and other information, which provides investors with key updates on certain regulatory proceedings and important milestones on the execution of its strategy. While some of this information may be considered material information, investors should not rely exclusively on this page for all relevant company information.
For definitions of certain operating measures, as well as GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures and abbreviations and acronyms used in the earnings release materials, see Appendix E.
Non-GAAP financial measures
This news release contains non-GAAP financial measures, which are generally numerical measures of a company’s performance, financial position, or cash flows that either exclude or include amounts that are not normally excluded or included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP. Entergy has provided quantitative reconciliations within this news release of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Entergy reports earnings using the non-GAAP measure of Entergy adjusted earnings, which excludes the effect of certain “adjustments.” Adjustments are unusual or non-recurring items or events or other items or events that management believes do not reflect the ongoing business of Entergy, such as significant tax items, and other items such as certain costs, expenses, or other specified items. In addition to reporting GAAP consolidated earnings on a per share basis, Entergy reports its adjusted earnings on a per share basis. These per share measures represent the applicable earnings amount divided by the diluted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.
Management uses the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per share for, among other things, financial planning and analysis; reporting financial results to the board of directors, employees, stockholders, analysts, and investors; and internal evaluation of financial performance. Entergy believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors in evaluating the ongoing results of Entergy’s business, comparing period to period results, and comparing Entergy’s financial performance to the financial performance of other companies in the utility sector.
Other non-GAAP measures, including adjusted ROE; adjusted ROE, excluding affiliate preferred; gross liquidity; net liquidity; net liquidity, including storm escrows; debt to capital, excluding securitization debt; net debt to net capital, excluding securitization debt; parent debt to total debt, excluding securitization debt; and FFO to debt, excluding securitization debt, are measures Entergy uses internally for management and board discussions and to gauge the overall strength of its business. Entergy believes the above data provides useful information to investors in evaluating Entergy’s ongoing financial results and flexibility and assists investors in comparing Entergy’s credit and liquidity to the credit and liquidity
(more)
Entergy reports first quarter 2024 financial results
April 24, 2024
Page 5
of others in the utility sector. In addition, ROE is included on both an adjusted and an as-reported basis. Metrics defined as “adjusted” exclude the effect of adjustments as defined above.
These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of Entergy’s operations that, when viewed with Entergy’s GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting Entergy’s business. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be used to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. Investors are strongly encouraged to review Entergy’s consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure. Although certain of these measures are intended to assist investors in comparing Entergy’s performance to other companies in the utility sector, non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized; therefore, it might not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names.

Share effect captures the per share impact from the change in diluted average number of common shares outstanding.

(f)The first quarter increase reflected items resulting from E-LA’s securitization in first quarter 2023 including a $103 million ($76 million after tax) regulatory provision for customer sharing and a $31 million ($31 million after tax) true-up of carrying charges on storm costs (both were considered adjustments and excluded from adjusted earnings). The increase also reflected regulatory actions, including E-AR’s FRP, E-LA’s FRP (including riders), E-MS’s FRP, and E-TX’s base rate and relate back increases. Retail sales volume, including the effects of weather, was also a driver for the quarter. The variance also reflected a change in regulatory provisions for decommissioning items (based on regulatory treatment, decommissioning-related variances are offset in other lines items and are largely earnings neutral). The increase was partially offset by a first quarter 2024 regulatory charge for $(79 million) ($(57 million) after tax) recorded by E-NO to reflect the company’s agreement to share additional income tax benefits from the 2016–2018 IRS audit resolution with customers (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings).
(g)The first quarter earnings decrease from higher Utility other O&M reflected higher compensation and benefits costs due primarily to higher healthcare claims activity; the recognition of an E-AR DOE judgment in first quarter 2023; higher power delivery expenses including the acceleration of vegetation management and incident readiness and response spending; an increase in contract costs related to operational performance, customer service, and organizational health initiatives; and higher power generation expenses due primarily to planned outages at non-nuclear plants.
(h)The first quarter as-reported earnings decrease from higher Utility asset write-offs and impairments was due to the write off of an E-AR regulatory asset totaling $(132 million) ($(97 million) after tax) related to the opportunity sales proceeding (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings).
(i)The first quarter earnings decrease from higher Utility depreciation/amortization expense was due primarily to higher plant in service, an increase in depreciation rates for E-TX effective June 2023, and the recognition of depreciation expense from E-TX’s 2022 base rate case relate back. The decrease was partially offset by lower depreciation rates for SERI effective June 2023.
(j)The first quarter increase from higher Utility other income (deductions) was due largely to changes in nuclear decommissioning trust returns, including portfolio rebalancing in first quarter 2024 (based on regulatory treatment, decommissioning-related variances are offset in other line items and are largely earnings neutral); higher intercompany dividend income from affiliated preferred membership interests related to storm cost securitizations (largely offset at P&O); and a decrease in non-service pension costs. The increase also reflected a $(15 million) ($(15 million) after tax) charge recorded in first quarter 2023 to account for LURC’s 1% beneficial interest in the storm trust established as part of E-LA’s March 2023 storm cost securitization (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings).
(k)The first quarter earnings decrease from Parent & Other other income (deductions) was due largely to intercompany dividends associated with affiliate preferred membership interests resulting from E-LA’s securitizations (largely offset at Utility).
(l)The first quarter as-reported earnings decrease from Utility income taxes – other was due largely to a $129 million income tax benefit recorded in first quarter 2023 related to storm cost securitization financing (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings).

(m)The effects of weather were estimated using heating degree days and cooling degree days for the period from certain locations within each jurisdiction and comparing to “normal” weather based on 20-year historical data. The models used to estimate weather are updated periodically and are subject to change.
For the quarter, on a weather-adjusted basis, retail sales were essentially flat. Residential sales were 1.4 percent higher and commercial sales decreased (1.2) percent. Industrial sales decreased (0.6) percent largely due to lower sales to cogen customers.
