Consolidated results

For first quarter 2023, the company reported 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. This compared to first quarter 2022 earnings of $276 million, or $1.36 per share, on an as-reported basis, and earnings of $269 million, or $1.32 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 quarterly variances by business is provided in Appendix B.

Business segment results

Utility

For first quarter 2023, the Utility business reported earnings attributable to Entergy Corporation 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. This compared to first quarter 2022 earnings of $340 million, or $1.67 per share, on an as-reported and an adjusted basis. There were several drivers for the quarter’s results.

The company recorded the following as a result of receiving securitization proceeds at E-LA for the storm cost recovery in March 2023 (considered adjustments and excluded from adjusted earnings):

•a reduction in income tax expense as a result of securitization,

•the portion of carrying costs on storm expenditures not previously recorded,

•a reduction in other income to account for LURC’s 1% beneficial interest in the trust established as a part of the securitization, and

•amounts reserved to share the benefits from securitization with customers.

Other drivers included:

•the effect of regulatory actions across the operating companies;

•lower retail sales volume due to the impacts of weather;

•higher operating expenses, including depreciation expense and taxes other than income taxes; and

•higher interest expense.

Higher dividends on intercompany preferred investments (offset at Parent & Other and largely earnings neutral for consolidated results) was also a driver for the quarter.

On a per share basis, first quarter 2023 results reflected higher diluted average number of common shares outstanding.

Appendix C contains additional details on Utility operating and financial measures.

Parent & Other

For first quarter 2023, Parent & Other reported a loss attributable to Entergy Corporation of $(86 million), or (41) cents per share, on an as-reported and an adjusted basis. This compared to a first quarter 2022 loss of $(64 million), or (31) cents per share, on an as-reported basis and $(71 million), or (35) cents per share, on an adjusted basis.

In 2022 the wind down of Entergy Wholesale Commodities was completed, and that business is no longer a reportable segment. Any remaining financial activity from EWC is now included in Parent & Other results. For comparability, EWC first quarter 2022 results are also included in Parent & Other ($0.04 in as-reported earnings per share). The shut down and sale of Palisades was the primary driver for the 2022 EWC variance.

Higher dividends on intercompany preferred investments (offset at Utility and largely earnings neutral for consolidated results) was also a driver for the quarter.

On a per share basis, first quarter 2023 results reflected higher diluted average number of common shares outstanding.

Earnings per share guidance

Entergy affirmed its 2023 adjusted EPS guidance range of $6.55 to $6.85. See webcast presentation for additional details.

The company has provided 2023 earnings guidance with regard to the non-GAAP measure of Entergy adjusted EPS. 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.

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.” In 2022, that included the removal of the Entergy Wholesale Commodities segment in light of the company’s exit from the merchant power business. Beginning in 2023, as a result of the successful exit from the merchant nuclear business, Entergy Wholesale Commodities is no longer a reportable segment and any remaining financial activity from that business will no longer be adjusted in its entirety from Entergy’s results (individual items could be considered for adjustment if they meet the necessary criteria). 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 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

(more)

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.

Cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements

OCF increased for the quarter due to primarily to:

•higher receipts from Utility customers,

•lower non-capital storm restoration spending, and

•lower pension contributions.

The increase was partially offset by:

•the wind down of EWC, including the receipt of DOE proceeds in 2022; and

•higher Utility interest payments.

(e)EPS effect is calculated by multiplying the pre-tax amount by the estimated income tax rate that is expected to apply and dividing by diluted average number of common shares outstanding for the prior period. Income taxes–other represents income tax differences other than the tax effect of individual line items. Share effect captures the change in diluted average number of common shares outstanding.

(f)In 2022 the wind down of EWC was completed and that business is no longer a reportable segment. Any remaining financial activity from EWC is now included in Parent & Other "All other." EWC 2022 results are isolated as those earnings were largely attributable to assets that were shut down and sold. Lower revenue, lower operating expenses, and the variance in other income are primarily due to the shut down and sale of Palisades in 2022.

(g)The first quarter variances reflected items resulting from securitization approvals. First quarter 2022 results included regulatory provisions totaling $13 million ($10 million after tax) for the true-up of E-LA and E-TX cost of debt from 2020 storms. In the first quarter 2023, E-LA recorded a regulatory provision for $103 million ($76 million after tax) for sharing the benefits of E-LA’s securitization with customers and $31 million ($31 million after tax) for the true-up of carrying charges on storm costs (both were considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings). Regulatory actions that affected the variance included E-AR’s FRP, E-LA’s FRP (including riders), E-MS’s FRP, E-NO’s FRP, and E-TX’s TCRF. Mild weather in 2023 was also a driver. The variance also included higher Grand Gulf recovery.

(h)The first quarter earnings decrease from higher Utility taxes other than income taxes was due to higher ad valorem and franchise taxes, partially offset by lower employment taxes.

(i)The first quarter earnings decrease from higher Utility depreciation/amortization expense was due primarily to higher plant in service and updated depreciation rates for Grand Gulf, which became effective March 1, 2022.

(j)The first quarter earnings increase from higher Utility other income (deductions)–other included higher intercompany dividend income related to the new intercompany investment in preferred stock resulting from E-LA’s 2022 securitization compared to the previous affiliate preferred investment that was liquidated (largely offset in P&O). An increase in allowance for equity funds used during construction due to higher construction work in progress in 2023 also contributed. The increase was partially offset by a $15 million charge that was recorded to account for LURC’s 1% beneficial interest in the trust established as part of E-LA’s 2023 storm cost securitization (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings) and an increase in non-service pension costs.

(k)The first quarter earnings decrease from lower Parent & Other other income (deductions)–other was due to changes in interest related to the new intercompany investment in preferred stock resulting from E-LA’s 2022 securitization compared to the previous affiliate preferred investment that was liquidated (largely offset in Utility). This was partially offset by income recorded on legacy EWC pension plans and intercompany interest income.

(l)The first quarter earnings decrease from higher Utility interest expense and other charges was due primarily to higher debt balances.

(m)The first quarter variance in Utility income taxes was due largely to a $129 million income tax benefit recorded in first quarter 2023 related to storm cost securitization financing (this item was considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings).

(n)The first quarter earnings per share impacts from share effect were due to settlement of equity forward sales in November 2022 under the company’s ATM program.

(o)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.

On a weather-adjusted basis, retail sales increased 1.0 percent. Residential sales were 0.8 percent higher and commercial sales decreased 0.5 percent – reflected changes in customer counts. Industrial sales increased 2.0 percent due to continued growth from new and expansion customers (largely primary metals, petrochemicals, and industrial gases industries) and higher sales to small industrial customers. The increase was partially offset by lower sales to cogen customers.
