ENTERGY REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR EARNINGS,

INITIATES 2015 OPERATIONAL EARNINGS GUIDANCE

Highlights: deployment of capital plan, sales growth to maintain rate advantage, progress at Indian Point

NEW ORLEANS - Entergy Corporation (NYSE: ETR) reported fourth quarter 2014 EPS of $0.66 on an as-reported basis and $0.75 on an operational basis and full year EPS of $5.22 on an as-reported basis and $5.83 on an operational basis, as shown in Table 1. More detail on quarterly and full year results can be found beginning on page 2.

“Entergy delivered on its plan in 2014,” said Chairman and CEO Leo Denault. “At the Utility, we began the deployment of our capital program via the proposed purchase of the Union Power Station and the start of commercial operations at Ninemile 6, the Utility’s first self-build plant in three decades. We resolved two important rate cases, in Mississippi and Texas. And we did all this while keeping our rates low - about 20 percent below the national average across all classes. At EWC, we improved plant operations and made progress in resolving uncertainty at Indian Point. And our risk management and hedging activities delivered substantial value for our owners, particularly during periods of market volatility. As a result, we realized operational EPS growth of nearly nine percent, well above original guidance. Importantly, we also captured a top-quartile position on total shareholder return.”

He continued, “This year, despite some challenges, we can say with confidence that the fundamentals of our business are strong. We have a compelling capital plan to strengthen our operations, and to meet a very real opportunity. We fully expect to continue to deliver on this plan in 2015, and years to come.”

Operational Earnings Highlights for Fourth Quarter 2014


•	Utility results were lower driven by increased non-fuel O&M expense, a higher effective income tax rate and an asset write-off; these decreases were partially offset by higher net revenue.


•	EWC earnings decreased due to a fourth quarter 2013 gain on sale of the District Energy business and lower other income; these items were partially offset by higher net revenue.


•	Parent & Other results improved due primarily to fourth quarter 2013 income tax expense associated with the EWC gain on sale.

Other business highlights include the following:


•	Entergy initiated 2015 operational EPS guidance at $5.10 to $5.90, including updated assumptions for lower northeast power prices and effective income tax rates.


•	The Utility announced two major investments - the Union CCGT and the Lake Charles Transmission Project.


•	Ninemile 6, a 560 MW CCGT was place in service on December 24^th. The project was completed under budget and ahead of schedule.


•	A New York State appellate court ruled that Indian Point is grandfathered under the state’s Coastal Management Program; New York State Department of State’s motion for reargument or appeal is pending.

Detailed earnings variance analyses are included in Appendix A-1 and Appendix A-2 to this release. In addition, Appendix A-3 provides details of special items shown in Table 2 above.

Consolidated Operating Cash Flow

Entergy’s operating cash flow in fourth quarter 2014 was $998 million compared to $990 million in fourth quarter 2013. Intercompany income tax payments contributed to the line of business variances, but netted to a smaller number at the consolidated level.

For the year, Entergy’s operating cash flow was $3,890 million in 2014 versus $3,189 million in 2013. The major drivers for the year-over-year increase included:


•	Higher EWC and Utility net revenue,


•	The receipt of $310 million proceeds to reimburse Hurricane Isaac costs in third quarter 2014,


•	Lower income tax payments (period-over-period intercompany income tax payments contributed to the line of business variances, but netted to a smaller number at the consolidated level) and


•	Spending in 2013 related to the generator stator incident at ANO.

The increase was partially offset by higher pension contributions, receipt of proceeds from the DOE in second and third quarters 2013 resulting from litigation regarding storage of spent nuclear fuel and higher spending on nuclear refueling outages.

Table 3 provides the components of operating cash flow contributed by each business with current quarter and year-to-date comparisons.

II.	Utility

In fourth quarter 2014, Utility earnings were $0.60 per share on an as-reported basis and $0.61 per share on an operational basis, compared to fourth quarter 2013 as-reported EPS of $0.90 and operational EPS of $0.86. The quarter-over-quarter decrease in operational EPS was driven by higher non-fuel O&M, a higher effective income tax rate and an asset write-off, partially offset by increased net revenue. Fourth quarter 2014 results included a write-off stemming from some regulatory uncertainty regarding the Waterford 3 steam generator replacement prudence review. That issue is still pending before the LPSC.

Non-fuel O&M was higher quarter-over-quarter reflecting increased nuclear and fossil generation spending, a portion of which was related to quarterly timing variances. MISO RTO administration fees, energy efficiency spending and storm reserve accruals were also higher (these items had offsets in net revenue). These expense increases were partially offset by lower compensation and benefits expenses.

Utility net revenue was higher than the same quarter in the prior year. The effect of rate adjustments and weather-adjusted sales growth contributed to the increase. A portion of the variance attributable to rate adjustments was offset in other line items outside of net revenue, including non-fuel O&M. Weather had a positive effect in both periods, but was less favorable in fourth quarter 2014 than fourth quarter 2013.

Billed retail sales increased 2.4 percent on a weather-adjusted basis. The increase was attributable largely to 6.7 percent growth in the industrial customer class. The large chemicals segment drove approximately one-third of total industrial growth, due largely to the expansion of a chlor-alkali customer. Petroleum refining also saw solid quarter-over-quarter growth. Small industrials also contributed to the increase.

Retail electric sales in billed GWhs by customer class are summarized in Table 4. Fourth quarter 2014 sales reflected the following:


•	Residential sales, on a weather-adjusted basis, decreased (1.4) percent compared to fourth quarter 2013.


•	Weather-adjusted commercial and governmental sales increased 0.4 percent quarter over quarter.


•	Industrial sales in the fourth quarter increased 6.7 percent compared to the same quarter of 2013.

For the year 2014, the Utility earned $4.60 per share on an as-reported basis and $4.64 per share on an operational basis, compared to $4.64 per share on an as-reported basis and $4.80 per share on an operational basis in 2013. There were several key drivers for the year-over-year decrease. The effective income tax rate for the Utility was higher due largely to income tax items in 2013. Non-fuel O&M also increased in 2014 versus 2013. In addition to the Waterford

3 write-off noted above, third quarter 2014 results included a regulatory charge related to the settlement of EMI’s general rate case. Higher interest and decommissioning expenses also contributed to the decline.

These decreases were partially offset by higher net revenue due largely to price and sales growth, including the effects of weather. A portion of the price variance was offset in other line items outside of net revenue, including non-fuel O&M.

For the year, billed retail sales increased 2.3 percent on a weather-adjusted basis. The increase was attributable largely to 5.0 percent growth in the industrial customer class. Three segments - chemicals, petroleum refining and pulp and paper - provided nearly 60 percent of the year’s total industrial growth. The increases mostly came from existing customers, including expansions and the effects of outages. New customers accounted for approximately 7 percent of the total industrial increase.

Table 4 provides a comparative summary of Utility operational performance measures.

See webcast presentation appendix slides for information on select regulatory cases.


III.	EWC

EWC operational adjusted EBITDA was $183 million in fourth quarter 2014, compared to $133 million in the same period a year ago, as shown in Table 5. The quarter-over-quarter increase was due to higher net revenue partially offset by the gain on sale of the District Energy business in fourth quarter 2013.

The higher EWC net revenue reflected a 20 percent higher realized price for EWC’s nuclear fleet, at $53 per MWh in fourth quarter 2014 compared to $44 per MWh in the prior period. The higher realized price was driven largely by mark-to-market activity, which was negative last year and positive in the current quarter. Quarter-over quarter, lower energy pricing and higher capacity pricing netted to a slight negative. Partially offsetting the price variance was lower nuclear production. The nuclear capacity factor decreased to 95 percent in the current quarter from 97 percent a year ago due to planned activities including the ramp down of VY and seven refueling outage days at FitzPatrick compared to no refueling outages in fourth quarter 2013.

For the year, EWC operational adjusted EBITDA was $950 million compared to $553 million in 2013. Drivers for the year-over-year increase included higher net revenue and lower non-fuel O&M. Partially offsetting was the 2013 gain on sale of District Energy.

Net revenue in 2014 versus 2013 reflected benefits from EWC’s asymmetric hedging strategy and focus on operational improvements. Energy and capacity pricing were higher, including significantly higher realized wholesale energy prices

in first quarter 2014. Mark-to-market revenues from hedging activity also contributed. Nuclear volume also increased with a 91 percent capacity factor for the year compared to 89 percent in 2013, driven by approximately 90 fewer forced outage days, partially offset by an increase in refueling outage days and the planned ramp down for VY.

Totals may not foot due to rounding.

EWC as-reported results were $0.31 per share on an as-reported basis and $0.39 per share on an operational basis for fourth quarter 2014, compared to fourth quarter 2013 as-reported earnings of $0.24 per share and operational earnings of $0.48 per share. The decrease in operational earnings was driven by lower other income. Fourth quarter 2013 and 2014 results included realized decommissioning trust earnings, which are directly reinvested into the trust funds; the benefit in fourth quarter 2014 was less than the benefit in 2013. This decrease was partially offset by higher operational adjusted EBITDA.

For the year, EWC EPS were $1.62 on an as-reported basis and $2.19 on an operational basis, compared to as-reported earnings of $0.24 per share and operational earnings of $1.47 per share in 2013. The year-over-year increase in operational earnings was driven by higher operational adjusted EBITDA. Higher depreciation and decommissioning expenses, a higher effective income tax rate and lower other income provided a partial offset.

Table 6 provides a comparative summary of EWC operational performance measures.

Table 7 provides information on current forward capacity and generation contracts for EWC’s fleet. Positions that are no longer classified as hedges are netted in the percent of planned generation under contract. Table 7 also provides total energy and capacity revenue projections using market prices as of Dec. 31, 2014, except for the currently illiquid NYISO LHV capacity zone where internal projections are used. EWC uses a combination of forward physical and financial contracts including swaps, collars and put and/or call options to manage certain risks of that business including forward commodity price as well as operational and liquidity risks. Certain hedge volumes have price downside and upside relative to market price movements. The contracted minimum, current expected value and sensitivities are provided to show potential variations. The sensitivities may not reflect the total upside potential from higher market prices. Information contained in Table 7 represents projections at a point in time and will vary over time based on numerous factors, such as future market prices, contracting activities and generation.

IV.	Parent & Other

Parent & Other reported a loss of $(0.25) per share on an as-reported and operational basis for fourth quarter 2014 compared to a fourth quarter 2013 as-reported loss of $(0.32) per share and an operational loss of $(0.34) per share. The period-over-period increase in operational results was due to income tax expense on the fourth quarter 2013 EWC District Energy sale.

For the year, Parent & Other reported a loss of $(1.00) per share on an as-reported and an operational basis in 2014. This compared to a loss of $(0.89) per share on an as-reported basis and $(0.91) per share on an operational basis in 2013. The year-over-year decrease in operational results was due largely to higher income tax expense, offset by the prior year tax on the EWC District Energy sale noted above. Effects of some intercompany transactions also contributed to the decrease.


V.	2015 Earnings Guidance

Entergy is initiating 2015 operational earnings guidance in the range of $5.10 to $5.90 per share. Year-over-year changes are shown as point estimates and are applied to the 2014 operational EPS to compute the 2015 guidance midpoint. Drivers for the 2015 operational earnings guidance range are listed separately. Because there is a range of possible outcomes associated with each earnings driver, a range is applied to the guidance midpoint to produce Entergy’s guidance range. Entergy’s 2015 operational earnings guidance is detailed in Table 8 below.

Consolidated Operational	2015 Operational EPS Guidance Range	5.83	(0.33)	5.50	5.10 - 5.90

Key assumptions supporting 2015 operational earnings guidance are as follows:

Utility


•	Normal weather

Operational earnings guidance for 2015 should be considered in association with earnings sensitivities as shown in Table 9. These sensitivities illustrate the estimated change in operational EPS resulting from changes in various revenue and expense drivers. Traditionally, the most significant variables for earnings drivers are retail sales for the Utility and energy prices for EWC.

Estimated annual impacts shown in Table 9 are intended to be indicative rather than precise guidance.

Utility As-Reported Net Revenue Variance Analysis 2014 vs. 2013 ($ EPS)
	Fourth Quarter	Year-to-Date
Weather	(0.06)	0.07
Sales growth/pricing	0.17	0.52
Other		0.14
Total	0.11	0.73

(f)

The current quarter and year-to-date increases reflected pricing adjustments from rate actions. A portion of the price difference was for recovery of costs outside of net revenue. Sales growth on a weather-adjusted basis also contributed to the increases. For the quarter, the impact of weather partially offset the increases while weather had a favorable effect on a year-to-date basis. A portion of the year-to-date variance was attributable to higher regulatory credits recorded for the difference between asset retirement obligation-related expenses and decommissioning trust earnings plus asset retirement obligation-related costs collected in revenue. Also contributing to the higher regulatory credits was an adjustment to realign the asset retirement regulatory asset with regulatory treatment.

(g)

The quarter-over-quarter increase was driven largely by favorable mark-to-market activity in fourth quarter 2014 compared to negative mark-to-market activity in the prior period. The mark-to-market variance for the full year also included a positive variance in first quarter 2014. The year-to-date increase also reflected higher realized energy and capacity prices for EWC’s nuclear fleet. A higher nuclear capacity factor also contributed, reflecting fewer forced outage days partially offset by an increase in refueling days and the ramp down of VY.


(h)	The decrease in the current quarter was attributable to a $16 million ($10.5 million after-tax) write-off recorded in fourth quarter 2014 because of the uncertainty associated with the resolution of the Waterford 3 replacement steam generator project prudence review. The year-to-date variance also included a charge associated with the EMI rate case settlement recorded in third quarter 2014.

(i)

The as-reported increases in the current quarter and year-to-date periods were primarily a result of the decision to shut down VY in late 2014. The current quarter increase reflected fourth quarter 2013 expenses which resulted from the settlement agreement reached with the State of Vermont. The year-to-date variance included the net effect of two charges. In third quarter 2013, the company recorded a non-cash impairment of the carrying values of VY and related assets to their fair value, in accordance with GAAP, and other related charges. In third quarter 2014, the company recorded additional impairment charges, which was the result of an updated decommissioning cost study completed during the quarter. The charges in 2013 were larger than the charges in the current year.

(j)

The decrease in the current quarter was due to income tax expense adjustments in fourth quarter 2013. The decrease in the year-to-date period also included favorable interest settlements and a state tax benefit in 2013. Partially offsetting was an approximately $10 million state income tax benefit resulting from Act 55 storm securitization in third quarter 2014. The as-reported decreases also included a fourth quarter 2013 tax benefit associated with the ITC transaction.


(k)	The current quarter and year-to-date decreases were due primarily to lower realized earnings on decommissioning trusts.


(l)	The variances in the current quarter and year-to-date periods are attributable to the effects from the fourth quarter 2013 sale of the District Energy business. The total pre-tax gain was realized at EWC, while the income tax effect was realized at Parent & Other.

(m)

The current quarter and year-to-date decreases were attributable to several factors including increases in nuclear generation spending. New MISO RTO administration fees (partially offset in net revenue) and higher energy efficiency spending and storm accruals (offset by net revenue increases). The decreases were partially offset by lower compensation and benefits costs due primarily to fewer employees and lower post-retirement benefit costs. Fossil spending was a driver for the quarter-over-quarter increase (primarily timing). The as-reported variances included the 2013 expenses for the planned spin-merge of the transmission business and reduced spending related to HCM implementation.


(n)	The decrease year-to-date is due to the elimination of inter-segment Network Integration Transmission Service transactions in 2013, which no longer occurs due to the Utility joining MISO. The offsetting elimination is in Parent & Other non-fuel O&M.


(o)	The decrease year-to-date was due primarily to higher interest expense related to net debt issuances and the lease renewal in December 2013 of the Grand Gulf sale leaseback.


(p)	The year-to-date increase reflected lower compensation and benefits expense due to fewer employees and lower post-retirement benefit costs. The sale of District Energy in November 2013 also contributed. Partially offsetting these items were higher contract labor and NRC fees and higher refueling outage amortization expense.


(q)	The decrease in the year-to-date period was due primarily to the effects of updated decommissioning studies (offset in net revenue).


(r)	The year-to-date decrease was due primarily to the effects of updated decommissioning studies.


(s)	The year-to-date decrease is largely due to the elimination of higher affiliate dividend income resulting from Hurricane Isaac Act 55 financing (offset at Utility).


(t)	The year-to-date decrease was due primarily to the effects of a new depreciation study as well as additions to plant in service.


(u)	The year-to-date decrease was largely due to the third quarter 2013 resolution of a tax basis issue which resulted in the reversal of an income tax reserve and a state income tax benefit recorded in second quarter 2013. The decrease was partially offset by a change in New York law which resulted in a reduction of deferred income taxes of approximately $22 million in first quarter 2014.


(v)	The decrease in the year-to-date period was due primarily to a third quarter 2013 reversal of a state valuation allowance.

Appendix A-3 lists special items by business with quarter-to-quarter and year-to-date comparisons. Amounts are shown on both an EPS basis and a net income basis. Special items are those events that are not routine. Special items are included in as-reported EPS consistent with GAAP, but are excluded from operational EPS. As a result, operational EPS is considered a non-GAAP measure.

B.	Planned Capital Expenditures

As shown in Appendix B, Entergy currently anticipates $9.0 billion for investment, including $8.0 billion for Utility and $1.0 billion for EWC. Utility depreciation expense over the comparable period is expected to total approximately $3.4 billion. In addition to routine maintenance, the capital investment plan includes specific investments and initiatives such as:

•

Utility: Potential resource planning investments, including the planned acquisition of the Union Power Station and approximately $500 million for potential construction of 2,400 MW of additional generation (expected in-service 2020). The plant purchase price for the Union Power Station is $948 million, subject to adjustments. Also included is $133 million for NRC post-Fukushima requirements for the Utility nuclear fleet; $176 million for environmental compliance, including $160 million for potential scrubbers at the White Bluff plant to meet pending Arkansas state requirements under the Clean Air Visibility Rule. The transmission capital plan includes $826 million for major transmission projects to enhance reliability, reduce congestion and enable economic growth.


•	Entergy Wholesale Commodities: Significant projects required for continued operation of the current generation fleet including component replacements, software and security; $71 million for the last NYPA value sharing in January 2015; dry cask storage and license renewal and $137 million for post-Fukushima requirements for the EWC nuclear fleet.

Estimated capital expenditures are subject to periodic review and modification, and actual spending may vary based on a number of factors.

(x)	Fourth quarter 2013 and first, second and third quarters and year-to-date 2014 were reduced due to the retirement of R.E. Ritchie Unit 2 (gas/oil) plant in November 2013 (544 MW); fourth quarter and year-to-date 2014 include capacity for VY, which was retired in December 2014 (605 MW).


D.	Definitions

Appendix D provides definitions of certain operational performance measures, as well as GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures, all of which are referenced in this release. Non-GAAP measures are included in this release to provide metrics that remove the effect of financial events that are not routine, from commonly used financial metrics.



Appendix D: Definitions of Operational Performance Measures, GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Abbreviations or Acronyms
Utility Operational Performance Measures
GWh billed	Total number of GWh billed to all retail and wholesale customers
Non-fuel O&M per MWh	Operation and maintenance expenses per MWh of billed sales, excluding fuel, fuel-related expenses and gas purchased for resale, purchased power and special items
Number of retail customers	Number of customers at end of period
EWC Operational Performance Measures
Net revenue	Operating revenue less fuel, fuel related expenses and purchased power
Owned capacity (MW)	Installed capacity owned and operated by EWC, including investments in wind generation accounted for under the equity method of accounting; in November 2013, R.E. Ritchie Unit 2 (gas/oil) plant was retired (544 MW) and VY (nuclear) was retired on Dec. 29, 2014 (605 MW)
GWh billed	Total number of GWh billed to customers, excluding investments in wind generation accounted for under the equity method of accounting and financially-settled instruments
Average realized revenue per MWh	As-reported revenue per MWh billed, excluding revenue from the amortization of the Palisades below-market PPA and/or investments in wind generation accounted for under the equity method of accounting
Non-fuel O&M per MWh	Operation and maintenance expenses per MWh billed, excluding fuel, fuel-related expenses and gas purchased for resale, purchased power, special items and investments in wind generation accounted for under the equity method of accounting
Capacity factor	Normalized percentage of the period that the nuclear plants generate power
Production cost per MWh	Fuel and non-fuel O&M expenses according to accounting standards that directly relate to the production of electricity per MWh (based on net generation), excluding special items
Refueling outage days	Number of days lost for scheduled refueling outage during the period
Planned TWh of generation	Amount of output expected to be generated by EWC resources considering plant operating characteristics, outage schedules and expected market conditions which impact dispatch, assuming uninterrupted normal operation at the remaining nuclear plants and timely renewal of plant operating licenses; non-nuclear also includes purchases from affiliated and non-affiliated counterparties under long-term contracts and excludes energy and capacity from EWC’s wind investment accounted for under the equity method of accounting
Percent of planned generation under contract	Percent of planned generation output sold or purchased forward under contracts, forward physical contracts, forward financial contracts or options that mitigate price uncertainty that may or may not require regulatory approval or approval of transmission rights, or other conditions precedent; positions that are no longer classified as hedges are netted in the planned generation under contract
Unit-contingent	Transaction under which power is supplied from a specific generation asset; if the asset is not operating, seller is generally not liable to buyer for any damages
Unit-contingent with availability guarantees	Transaction under which power is supplied from a specific generation asset; if the asset is not operating, seller is generally not liable to buyer for any damages, unless the actual availability over a specified period of time is below an availability threshold specified in the contract
Firm LD	Transaction that requires receipt or delivery of energy at a specified delivery point (usually at a market hub not associated with a specific asset) or settles financially on notional quantities; if a party fails to deliver or receive energy, defaulting party must compensate the other party as specified in the contract; a portion of which may be capped through the use of risk management products
Offsetting positions	Transactions for the purchase of energy, generally to offset a Firm LD transaction
Cost-based contracts	Contracts priced in accordance with cost-based rates, a ratemaking concept used for the design and development of rate schedules to ensure that the filed rate schedules recover only the cost of providing the service; these contracts are on owned EWC resources located within Entergy’s utility service territory and were executed prior to EWC receiving market-based authority under MISO
Planned net MW in operation	Amount of installed capacity to generate power and/or sell capacity; non-nuclear also includes purchases from affiliated and non-affiliated counterparties under long-term contracts and excludes energy and capacity from EWC’s wind investment accounted for under the equity method of accounting
Percent of capacity sold forward	Percent of planned qualified capacity sold to mitigate price uncertainty under physical or financial transactions
Bundled capacity and energy contracts	A contract for the sale of installed capacity and related energy, priced per MWh sold
Capacity contracts	A contract for the sale of the installed capacity product in regional markets managed by ISO-NE, the NYISO and MISO
