Consolidated results

For fourth quarter 2023, the company reported earnings of $988 million, or $4.64 per share, on an as-reported basis, and earnings of $111 million, or 52 cents per share, on an adjusted basis. This compared to fourth quarter 2022 earnings of $106 million, or 51 cents per share, on an as-reported basis, and earnings of $107 million, or 51 cents per share, on an adjusted basis.

For full year 2023, the company reported earnings of $2,357 million, or $11.10 per share, on an as-reported basis, and earnings of $1,438 million, or $6.77 per share, on an adjusted basis. This compared to 2022 earnings of $1,103 million, or $5.37 per share, on an as-reported basis, and earnings of $1,320 million, or $6.42 per share, on an adjusted basis.

Summary discussions for the full year results 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 full year 2023, the Utility business reported earnings attributable to Entergy Corporation of $2,507 million, or $11.81 per share, on an as-reported basis, and earnings of $1,896 million, or $8.93 per share, on an adjusted basis. This compared to full year 2022 earnings of $1,407 million, or $6.84 per share, on an as-reported basis, and earnings of $1,686 million, or $8.20 per share, on an adjusted basis. Several drivers contributed to the year-over-year change.

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 (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings).

Also in fourth quarter 2023, the company recorded the reversal of a $106 million regulatory liability associated with Hurricane Isaac securitization, initially recorded in 2017 as a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings).

In third quarter 2023 as a result of E-AR’s offer to forgo its opportunity to seek recovery of costs resulting from the March 2013 ANO stator incident, E-AR recorded a write-off of replacement power costs and undepreciated property, plant, and equipment totaling $(78 million) ($(59 million) after tax) (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):

(more)

Entergy reports 2023 financial results

Page 3

•a $129 million reduction in income tax expense,

•$31 million of carrying costs on storm expenditures not previously recorded,

•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) reserve to share the benefits from securitization with customers.

In second quarter 2022, results included a regulatory charge of $(551 million) ($(413 million) after tax) that SERI recorded to increase a regulatory liability to reflect the effects of a partial settlement agreement and offer of settlement related to pending proceedings before the FERC (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings).

Also in second quarter 2022, as a result of receiving approvals for storm cost recovery and issuance of securitized debt at E-LA and E-TX, the companies recorded the following:

•$59 million ($54 million after tax) carrying costs on storm expenditures not previously recorded (the equity portion of carrying costs related to prior years was considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings),

•a $(32 million) reduction in other income to account for LURC’s 1 percent beneficial interest in a trust established as part of E-LA’s securitization (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings),

•a $283 million reduction in income tax expense (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings), and

•$(224 million) ($(165 million) after tax) reserve to share the benefits from securitization with customers (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings).

Other drivers for the year included:

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

•higher other income (deductions) primarily from affiliate preferred investments (offset at P&O and largely earnings neutral at the consolidated level) and higher allowance for equity funds used during construction, and

•lower other O&M.

The drivers were partially offset by:

•higher operating expenses including depreciation expense, taxes other than income taxes, nuclear refueling outage expense, and decommissioning expense;

•various regulatory charges (credits); and

•higher interest expense.

On a per share basis, 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 full year 2023, Parent & Other reported a loss attributable to Entergy Corporation of $(151 million), or (71) cents per share, on an as-reported basis, and a loss of $(458 million) or $(2.16) per share on an adjusted basis. This compared to a full year 2022 loss of $(303 million), or $(1.48) per share, on an as-reported basis, and a loss of $(366 million), or $(1.78) per share on an adjusted basis.

In 2022, the wind down of EWC was completed and that business is no longer a reportable segment. Starting in 2023, the remaining activity from EWC is included in Parent & Other. For comparability, EWC 2022 results are also included in Parent & Other. For the full year 2022, EWC reported earnings of $63 million, or 31 cents per share, on an as-reported basis, which included revenue and operating expenses from Palisades until the plant was shut down in May 2022, and decommissioning expense and earnings on the decommissioning trust until the plant was sold in June 2022. EWC’s 2022 results also included a gain of $166 million ($130 million after tax) that resulted from the sale of Palisades and an accrual for an uncertain tax position that resulted from a state tax audit.

Other drivers for the full year Parent & Other variance included:

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

•the effects of the third quarter 2023 DOE spent fuel litigation settlement on asset write-offs and impairments (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings);

•lower other income (deductions) due primarily to higher dividends associated with affiliate preferred investments (offset at Utility and largely earnings neutral at the consolidated level), partially offset by the timing of charitable contributions and higher non-service pension income;

•higher interest expense due primarily to higher short-term borrowing rates; and

•higher other O&M for non-nuclear generation assets (previously included in EWC segment, partially offset by revenue from those assets).

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

Earnings per share guidance

Entergy initiated 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.

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 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.

Cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements

Calculations may differ due to rounding

OCF increased year-over-year due primarily to lower fuel and purchased power payments at the Utility, higher non-capital storm restoration spending in 2022, lower pension contributions, and higher interest received due primarily to shorter-term financing interest earnings at E-LA and interest on storm reserve escrow accounts. The increase was partially offset by lower receipts from Utility customers (primarily lower fuel revenue), receipt of E-NO’s storm securitization proceeds in 2022, higher interest paid, and the wind down of EWC.

Affiliate preferred dividend payments contributed to the Utility and Parent & Other variances but was neutral at the consolidated level.

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

Income taxes – other represents income tax differences other than the income tax effect of individual line items. Share effect captures the per share impact from 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. Starting in 2023, the remaining activity from EWC is included in Parent & Other "All other." EWC 2022 results were largely attributable to Palisades nuclear plant, which was shut down and sold in second quarter 2022. Financial results in 2022 included revenue and operating expenses from Palisades until the plant was shut down in May 2022, and decommissioning expense and earnings on the decommissioning trust until the plant was sold in June 2022. Second quarter 2022 results also included a gain of $166 million ($130 million after tax) that resulted from the sale of Palisades. Third quarter 2022 results included an accrual for an uncertain tax position that resulted from a state tax audit.

(g)The fourth quarter and full year variances reflect regulatory actions including E-AR’s FRP, E-LA’s FRP (including riders), E-MS’s FRP, various E-MS riders, E-NO’s FRP, and E-TX’s base rate increase. 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 an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings). The effects of weather on retail volume were also a driver for the quarter. The full year variance also reflected various regulatory provisions (detailed in the table to the right), including customer sharing and other items related to securitization and storm cost recovery (the majority of which were considered adjustments and excluded from adjusted earnings).

(h)The fourth quarter earnings decrease from higher Utility other O&M reflected an increase in contract costs related to operational performance, customer service, and organizational health initiatives and higher power delivery expenses due primarily to an increase in vegetation management. The decrease was partially offset by lower MISO costs, a portion of

which was the result of MISO changing its ancillary generator services market rules (largely offset by lower ancillary generator revenues), and lower benefits costs.

(i)The fourth quarter and full year earnings decreases from higher Parent & Other other O&M were due primarily to the business activity that was previously reported within EWC and is now included in Parent & Other in 2023.

(j)The fourth quarter and full year earnings decreases from higher Utility depreciation/amortization expense were due to higher plant in service, updated depreciation rates for E-TX, and a fourth quarter 2022 adjustment to SERI’s depreciation expense that resulted from FERC’s December 2022 order on the sale-leaseback complaint (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings). This was partially offset by the approval of lower depreciation rates at SERI retroactive to March 2022 (largely offset by a regulatory provision to refund the excess depreciation previously collected from customers).

(k)The fourth quarter and full year earnings increases from higher Utility other income (deductions) were due largely to higher intercompany dividend income from affiliated preferred membership interests related to storm cost securitizations (largely offset in P&O). The full year earnings increase also reflected a few additional drivers. AFUDC-equity increased due to higher construction work in progress. In second quarter 2022, two items were recorded as a result of E-LA securitization: a $32 million charge to account for LURC’s 1% beneficial interest in a trust established as part of E-LA’s 2022 securitization (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings), and an adjustment to AFUDC-equity for the approved equity component of carrying costs on 2020 storms not previously recorded (the portion related to prior years was considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings). Additionally, the full year increase included changes in nuclear decommissioning trust returns (based on regulatory treatment, decommissioning-related variances are largely earnings neutral). The full year increase was partially offset by storm restoration carrying costs recorded in first quarter and second quarter 2022, a $(15 million) ($(15 million) after tax) charge recorded in first quarter 2023 to account for LURC’s 1% beneficial interest in a trust established as part of E-LA’s 2023 storm cost securitization (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings), and lower carrying costs on deferred fuel balances.

(l)The fourth quarter earnings increase from higher Parent & Other other income (deductions) was due to the timing of charitable contributions and income recorded on legacy EWC pension plans. The increase was partially offset by changes in intercompany dividends associated with affiliate preferred membership interests resulting from E-LA’s securitizations (largely offset at Utility).

(m)The fourth quarter and full year earnings increases from Utility income taxes - other reflected several items. In the 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). Also in fourth quarter 2023, E-LA recorded the reversal of a $106 million regulatory liability associated with the Hurricane Ida securitization, originally recorded in 2017 as a result of the TCJA (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings). In the fourth quarter 2022, a $(13 million) increase in income tax expense was recorded as a result of FERC’s sale-leaseback order (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings). Additional true-ups totaling $18 million were recorded in the fourth quarter 2023 compared to $(6 million) in fourth quarter 2022. The full year increase also reflected two additional drivers: a $129 million income tax benefit recorded in first quarter 2023 related to storm cost securitization financing and a $283 million income tax benefit recorded in second quarter 2022 related to securitization financing (both items were considered adjustments and excluded from adjusted earnings).

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

(o)The fourth quarter and full year earnings per share impacts from share effect were due to settlement of equity forward sales in November 2022, November 2023, and December 2023 under the company’s ATM program.

(p)The full year earnings increase from Parent & Other operating revenue less fuel, fuel related expenses and gas purchased for resale was due to business activity that was previously reported within EWC and is now included in Parent & Other in 2023.

(q)The full year earnings decrease from higher Utility nuclear refueling outage expense was due primarily to higher amortization of ANO 1 refueling outage costs.

(r)The full year earnings increase from lower Utility other O&M reflected lower compensation and benefits costs; lower MISO costs, a portion of which was the result of MISO changing its ancillary generator services market rules (largely offset by lower ancillary generator revenues); lower non-nuclear generation expenses primarily due to a reduced scope of work; lower customer service center support costs; lower nuclear generation expenses primarily due to a reduced scope of work and lower labor costs; and the recognition of a DOE award for spent fuel litigation. The increase was partially offset by higher contract costs related to operational performance, customer service, and organizational health initiatives; higher power delivery expenses due primarily to an increase in vegetation management; and higher insurance expenses due primarily to lower nuclear insurance refunds in 2023.

(s)The full year as-reported earnings decrease from higher Utility asset write-offs and impairments was due to a third quarter 2023 E-AR write-off totaling $(78 million) ($(59 million) after tax) related to the 2013 ANO stator incident (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings).

(t)The full year as-reported earnings increase from lower Parent & Other asset write-offs and impairments was due to recording a spent fuel litigation settlement related to IPEC in third quarter 2023 (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings).

(u)The full year earnings decrease from higher Utility taxes other than income taxes was due to higher ad valorem taxes.

(v)The full year earnings decrease from lower Parent & Other other income (deductions) was due primarily to changes in dividends from affiliate preferred membership resulting from E-LA’s securitizations (largely offset in Utility), partially offset by the timing of charitable contributions, and higher non-service pension income.

(w)The full year earnings decrease from higher Utility interest expense was due primarily to higher interest rates as well as higher debt balances.

(x)The full year earnings decrease from higher Parent & Other interest expense was due primarily to higher interest rates on commercial paper and revolver facilities as well as higher commercial paper balances, partially offset by lower long-term debt balances.

(y)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 full year, excluding the effects of weather, retail sales were essentially flat. Residential and commercial sales each declined (0.6) percent. Industrial sales increased 0.6 percent due to an increase in demand from new/expansion customers, mainly in the primary metals, industrial gases, and petrochemicals industries and higher sales to small industrial customers. The industrial sales increase was partially offset by lower sales to cogen customers.

D: Consolidated financial measures
