Consolidated results

For fourth quarter 2024, the company reported earnings of $286 million, or 65 cents per share, on an as-reported basis, and $291 million, or 66 cents per share, on an adjusted basis. This compared to fourth quarter 2023 earnings of $988 million, or $2.32 per share, on an as-reported basis and $111 million, or 26 cents per share, on an adjusted basis.

For full year 2024, the company reported earnings of $1,056 million, or $2.45 per share, on an as-reported basis, and $1,577 million, or $3.65 per share, on an adjusted basis. This compared to full year 2023 earnings of $2,357 million, or $5.55 per share, on an as-reported basis, and $1,438 million, or $3.39 per share, on an adjusted basis.

Entergy executed a two-for-one forward stock split that was effective with trading on December 13, 2024; all per-share information reflects the post-split share count.

Summary discussions of full year results by business follow. Additional details, including information on operating cash flow by business, are provided in Appendix A. A more detailed analysis of fourth quarter and full year variances by business is provided in Appendix B.

Business results

Utility

For full year 2024, the Utility business reported earnings attributable to Entergy Corporation of $1,827 million, or $4.23 per share, on an as-reported basis, and earnings of $2,115 million, or $4.90 per share, on an adjusted basis. This compared to full year 2023 earnings of $2,507 million, or $5.90 per share, on an as-reported basis, and earnings of $1,896 million, or $4.46 per share, on an adjusted basis.

The full year change reflected:

•the net effect of regulatory actions across the operating companies;

•higher retail sales volume, including the impacts of weather;

•higher depreciation expense primarily due to higher plant in service;

•higher interest expense primarily due to higher interest rates and higher debt balances; and

•higher other income (deductions) primarily due to a decrease in non-service pension costs, higher allowance for equity funds used during construction, and higher intercompany dividend

income from affiliate preferred investments (offset at P&O and largely earnings neutral at the consolidated level).

The full year variance also reflected several other items that were considered adjustments and excluded from adjusted earnings; additional details are provided in Appendix B:

•In fourth quarter 2023, as a result of the 2016–2018 IRS audit resolution, the company recorded a $568 million income tax benefit as well as a $(98 million) ($(72 million) after tax) regulatory provision to share the benefits with customers.

•In second quarter 2024, Entergy Louisiana recorded expenses totaling $(151 million) ($(111 million) after tax) to reflect an agreement in principle to provide customer credits, including increasing customer sharing of tax benefits, to resolve several open matters.

•In fourth quarter 2023, the company recorded the reversal of a $106 million regulatory liability primarily associated with storm securitizations, initially recorded in 2017 as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

•In first quarter 2024, Entergy Arkansas recorded a write off of a $(132 million) ($(97 million) after tax) regulatory asset related to the opportunity sales proceeding.

•In first quarter 2023, several items were recorded as a result of Entergy Louisiana receiving securitization proceeds for storm cost recovery: a $129 million reduction in income tax expense, $31 million ($31 million after tax) of carrying costs on storm expenditures not previously recorded, a $(15 million) ($(15 million) after tax) 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.

•In first quarter 2024, Entergy New Orleans recorded a regulatory charge of $(79 million) ($(57 million) after tax) to reflect the company’s agreement to share additional income tax benefits from the 2016–2018 IRS audit resolution with customers.

•In fourth quarter 2024, as a result of a Louisiana state income tax rate change, the company recorded a $(29 million) increase in income tax expense and a $9 million ($7 million after tax) reduction to an Entergy Louisiana regulatory liability related to securitization.

•In third quarter 2023, Entergy Arkansas recorded a write-off totaling $(78 million) ($(59 million) after tax) as a result of an agreement to forgo its opportunity to seek recovery of costs resulting from the March 2013 ANO stator incident.

On a per share basis, full year 2024 results reflected higher diluted average number of common shares outstanding due to the settlement of equity forwards in fourth quarter 2023 under the company’s ATM program, option exercises under the company’s stock-based compensation plans, and the dilutive effect from unsettled equity forwards under the company’s ATM program as a result of an increase in the stock price.

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

Parent & Other

For full year 2024, Parent & Other reported a loss attributable to Entergy Corporation of $(771 million), or $(1.79) per share, on an as-reported basis, and a loss of $(538 million), or $(1.25) per share, on an adjusted basis. This compared to a full year 2023 loss of $(151 million), or (35) cents per share, on an as-reported basis, and a loss of $(458 million), or $(1.08) per share, on an adjusted basis.

(more)

Entergy reports 2024 financial results

Drivers for the full year decrease included:

•lower other income (deductions) due to: settlement charges totaling $(320 million) ($(253 million) after tax) recognized as a result of a group annuity contract purchased in May 2024 to settle certain pension liabilities (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings), lower non-service pension income, and higher dividends associated with affiliate preferred investments (offset at Utility and largely earnings neutral at the consolidated level);

•higher interest expense primarily due to the issuance of junior subordinated debentures and higher interest on commercial paper borrowings; and

•a reduction in income tax expense of $275 million in fourth quarter 2023 as a result of the 2016–2018 IRS audit resolution (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings).

The decrease was partially offset by lower asset write-offs and impairments primarily due to the net effect of DOE spent fuel litigation settlements (considered adjustments and excluded from adjusted earnings).

On a per share basis, full year 2024 results reflected higher diluted average number of common shares outstanding (see details in Utility section).

Earnings per share guidance

Entergy initiated its 2025 adjusted earnings per share guidance range of $3.75 to $3.95. See webcast presentation for additional details.

The company has provided 2025 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, among other things, the exclusion of significant income tax items, certain items recorded as a result of regulatory settlements or decisions, and certain unusual costs or expenses.

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 investors.entergy.com/investors/events-and-presentations.

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 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 income tax items, certain items recorded as a result of regulatory settlements or decisions, and certain unusual costs or expenses. In addition to reporting GAAP 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, FFO to adjusted debt, gross liquidity, net liquidity, adjusted Parent debt to total adjusted debt, adjusted debt to adjusted capitalization, and adjusted net debt to adjusted net capitalization 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. These metrics are defined in Appendix E.

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.

(a)    Entergy executed a two-for-one forward stock split that was effective with trading on December 13, 2024; diluted number of common shares outstanding and per-share information reflects the post-split share count.

(b)    Per share amounts are calculated by dividing the corresponding earnings (loss) by the diluted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.

See Appendix B for detailed earnings variance analysis.

Appendix A-2 and Appendix A-3 detail adjustments by business. Adjustments are included in as-reported earnings consistent with GAAP but are excluded from adjusted earnings. As a result, adjusted earnings is considered a non-GAAP measure.

OCF increased year-over-year primarily due to lower fuel and purchased power payments and customer advances for construction, primarily for customer and generator interconnection agreements. The increase was partially offset by higher interest paid and lower receipts from Utility customers (primarily lower fuel revenue).

Intercompany income tax payments contributed to the Utility and Parent & Other full year variances but was not a material driver for the consolidated result.

(i)    The fourth quarter and full year earnings increases were driven by regulatory actions including E-AR’s FRP, E-LA’s FRP (including riders), E-MS’s FRP, various E-MS riders, and E-TX’s DCRF. The increases also reflected higher volume, including the effects of weather. In fourth quarter 2024, as a result of the Louisiana state income tax rate change, E-LA recorded a $9 million ($7 million after tax) adjustment to a regulatory liability primarily related to securitization (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings). Also in fourth quarter 2024, E-AR recorded a $16 million ($12 million after tax) regulatory credit for the 2023 historical year netting adjustment. In fourth quarter 2023, E-LA and E-NO recorded a regulatory provision for customer sharing of income tax benefits as a result of the 2016–2018 IRS audit resolution (considered adjustments and excluded from adjusted earnings). Other drivers included: changes in regulatory provisions for decommissioning items (based on regulatory treatment, decommissioning-related variances were offset in other line items and were largely earnings neutral), a wholesale contract termination (the sales to this customer are now included in retail sales), and lower Grand Gulf revenue largely due to lower other O&M and depreciation expense. The fourth quarter and full year increases also reflected other items noted in the table above.

(j)    The fourth quarter earnings increase from lower Utility other O&M reflected a decrease in power delivery expenses primarily due to lower vegetation maintenance; lower contract costs related to operational performance, customer service, and organizational health initiatives; lower information technology costs primarily due to insourcing and software

implementation costs in 2023; and lower non-nuclear and nuclear generation costs primarily due to lower scope of work. The increase was partially offset by higher compensation and benefits and MISO transmission costs. The full year earnings decrease from higher Utility other O&M was primarily due to higher compensation and benefits costs; higher energy efficiency costs primarily due to the timing of recovery from customers; higher MISO transmission costs; higher loss provisions; higher storm reserve provisions; and a gain recorded in second quarter 2023 on the partial sale of a service center as part of an eminent domain proceeding. The fourth quarter decrease was largely offset by lower power delivery expenses primarily due to lower vegetation maintenance costs; lower non-nuclear and nuclear generation expenses primarily due to the scope of work performed in 2024 compared to 2023; lower information technology costs primarily due to insourcing and software implementation costs in 2023; and lower customer service center support costs primarily due to lower contract costs.

(k)    The fourth quarter as-reported earnings increase from Parent & Other asset write-offs and impairments was due to spent fuel litigation settlements totaling $25 million ($19 million after tax) recorded in fourth quarter 2024 related to Vermont Yankee and Palisades (considered adjustments and excluded from adjusted earnings). The full-year as-reported earnings decrease also reflected a spent fuel litigation settlement of $40 million ($32 million after tax) recorded in third quarter 2023 related to IPEC (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings).

(l)    The fourth quarter and full year earnings decreases from higher Utility depreciation and amortization were primarily due to higher plant in service. The full year decrease also reflected a reduction in depreciation expense in third quarter 2023 resulting from lower depreciation rates at SERI retroactive to March 2022 (largely offset by a regulatory provision to refund the excess depreciation previously collected), the recognition of depreciation expense from E-TX’s 2022 base rate case relate-back, an increase in depreciation rates for E-TX effective June 2023, an increase in nuclear depreciation rates at E-LA effective September 2024, and lower depreciation rates for SERI effective June 2023.

(m)    The fourth quarter and full year earnings increases from higher Utility other income (deductions) were due to lower non-service pension costs and higher AFUDC–equity due to higher construction work in progress. The fourth quarter increase was partially offset by lower nuclear decommissioning trust returns (based on regulatory treatment, decommissioning-related variances are offset in other line items and were largely earnings neutral). The full year increase reflected higher nuclear decommissioning trust returns, including portfolio rebalancing in 2024 (based on regulatory treatment, decommissioning-related variances are offset in other line items and were largely earnings neutral); 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 2023 storm cost securitization (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings); and higher intercompany dividend income from affiliate preferred membership interests related to 2023 storm cost securitizations (largely offset at P&O).

(n)    The fourth quarter and full year earnings decreases from higher Utility interest expense were primarily due to higher interest rates as well as higher debt balances. The full year decrease was partially offset by higher AFUDC–borrowed funds due to higher construction work in progress.

(o)    The fourth quarter and full year earnings decreases from higher Parent & Other interest expense were primarily due to the issuance of $1.2 billion of junior subordinated debentures in May 2024. The full year decrease also reflected higher interest on commercial paper borrowings.

(p)    The fourth quarter and full year as-reported earnings decreases from Utility income taxes – other reflected several items. In fourth quarter 2023, a $568 million income tax benefit was recorded as a result of the resolution of the 2016–2018 IRS audit (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings). In fourth quarter 2023, E-LA recorded the reversal of a $106 million regulatory liability primarily associated with Hurricane Isaac securitization, originally recorded in 2017 as a result of the TCJA (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings). In fourth quarter 2024, a $(29 million) increase in income tax expense was recorded as a result of the Louisiana state income tax rate change (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings). Also in fourth quarter 2024, annual true-ups and miscellaneous adjustments totaling $18 million were recorded. The full year decrease also reflected a $129 million income tax benefit that was recorded in first quarter 2023 related to storm cost securitization financing (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings).

(q)    The fourth quarter and full year as-reported earnings decreases from Parent & Other income taxes – other were largely due to a $275 million income tax benefit resulting from the resolution of the 2016–2018 IRS audit recorded in fourth quarter 2023 (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings).

(r)    The fourth quarter and full year earnings per share impacts from share effect reflected higher shares outstanding due to the settlement of equity forwards in fourth quarter 2023 under the company’s ATM program, option exercises under the company’s stock-based compensation plans, and the dilutive effect of unsettled equity forwards under the company’s ATM program as a result of an increase in the stock price.

(s)    The full year earnings decrease was primarily due to lower capacity revenues resulting from the termination of a municipal requirements contract in first quarter 2024.

(t)    The full year as-reported earnings decrease from higher Utility asset write-offs and impairments reflected the first quarter 2024 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). A third quarter 2023 $(78 million) ($(59 million) after-tax) E-AR write-off, which resulted from E-AR’s agreement to forgo its opportunity to seek recovery of costs

associated with the 2013 ANO Stator incident (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings) partially offset the decrease.

(u)    The full year as-reported earnings decrease from lower Parent & Other other income (deductions) was largely due to a non-cash pension settlement charge of ($(317 million) ($(250 million) after tax) associated with the purchase of a group annuity contract to settle certain pension liabilities recorded in second quarter 2024 and a $(3 million) ($(3 million) after tax) true-up recorded in fourth quarter 2024 (considered adjustments and excluded from adjusted earnings). Lower non-service pension income, higher intercompany dividends associated with affiliate preferred membership interests resulting from E-LA’s securitizations (largely offset at Utility) also contributed to the decrease.

(v)    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.

Full year weather-adjusted retail sales increased 3.7 percent. The increase was primarily due to an 8.1 percent increase in industrial volume driven by higher sales to petroleum refining, chlor-alkali, and technology customers. Commercial sales increased 0.5 percent. The increase was partially offset by a residential sales decline of (0.4) percent.
