Entergy Reports First Quarter Earnings

In productive first quarter, company “continues to be line with our expectations,” says CEO Leo Denault

NEW ORLEANS, La. - Entergy Corporation (NYSE: ETR) reported first quarter 2015 earnings per share of $1.65 on an as-reported basis and $1.68 on an operational basis, compared to first quarter 2014 as-reported EPS of $2.24 and operational EPS of $2.29.

“It was a productive first quarter, and in terms of performance, results and growth, we continue to be in line with our expectations,” said Entergy Chairman and CEO Leo Denault. “The Utility experienced its seventh straight quarter of industrial sales growth. We continued filling in the details of our resource plan, including the announcement of a new transmission project in Arkansas. We also took important steps to strengthen regulatory frameworks, in part by supporting the passage of new legislation in Arkansas and Mississippi and preparing for a pivotal rate case filing in Arkansas.”

Business highlights for the quarter included the following:

•

Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson signed legislation that establishes a forward test year formula rate plan and provides additional considerations in setting the return on equity. This legislation should result in more efficient rate making, and allow Entergy Arkansas, Inc. to focus time and resources on activities that create sustainable value for the state, including job growth. Subsequent to quarter-end, on April 24, Entergy Arkansas filed a rate case applying this legislation.

Business Unit Results

In addition to the summary business unit discussions below and in Appendix A, a comprehensive analysis of quarterly variances is provided in Appendix B to this release. Appendix A also provides information on operating cash flow by business.

Utility Results

In first quarter 2015, Utility earnings were $1.24 per share on an as-reported and an operational basis, compared to first quarter 2014 as-reported EPS of $1.12 and operational EPS of $1.13. The improved operational results reflected another quarter of industrial sales growth, modest

weather-adjusted growth in the residential and commercial classes and the effects of productive investments and customer programs.

Billed retail sales increased 1.5 percent on a weather-adjusted basis. The components of the sales growth were:


•	Weather-adjusted residential sales increased 0.7 percent,


•	Commercial sales increased 0.6 percent on a weather-adjusted basis,


•	Weather-adjusted governmental sales increased 1.7 percent and


•	Industrial sales grew 2.9 percent.

Weather had a positive effect in both the current and the prior periods, but was less favorable in first quarter 2015 than in first quarter 2014.

Higher Utility net revenue also reflected rate adjustments for Ninemile Point Unit 6, recovery of energy efficiency program costs and the Entergy Louisiana, LLC, Entergy Texas, Inc. and Entergy Mississippi rate cases. The earnings effect from these changes was largely offset by changes in other line items (e.g., non-fuel operation and maintenance, depreciation and taxes other than income tax expenses).

Another factor in the quarterly operational improvement was a lower effective income tax rate.

Utility non-fuel O&M was higher quarter over quarter, providing a partial offset to the favorable items noted above. This increase reflected higher fossil generation costs due largely to increased scope for maintenance outages. Nuclear generation spending was also higher in part due to increased regulatory compliance costs.

For additional details on Utility’s performance for the quarter, see Appendix C.

Entergy Wholesale Commodities Results

EWC operational adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization were $254 million in first quarter 2015, compared to $455 million in the same period a year ago. Principal reasons for the decrease included the shutdown of the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station at the end of 2014 as well as lower relative wholesale power prices. In the first quarter of last year, sustained cold weather across the entire region combined with limited LNG imports and natural gas infrastructure constraints resulted in significantly higher Northeast spot market prices.

Totals may not foot due to rounding

VY accounted for more than half of the operational EBITDA decrease ($110 million in first quarter 2014 compared to essentially zero in the current period). Excluding the effects of VY, the change in EBITDA was driven largely by lower net revenue. Wholesale energy prices for EWC’s nuclear fleet were significantly higher in first quarter 2014. Mark-to-market activity also declined quarter-over-quarter. Partially offsetting the negative price variance was higher nuclear production with fewer refueling outage days (23 days for Indian Point 3 in the current quarter versus 80 days for Palisades Power Plant and Indian Point Energy Center Unit 2 in first quarter 2014).

EWC earned 68 cents per share on an as-reported basis and 71 cents per share on an operational basis for first quarter 2015, compared to first quarter 2014 as-reported earnings of $1.35 per share and operational earnings of $1.39 per share. In addition to lower operational adjusted EBITDA, EWC reported a higher effective income tax rate. Higher other income associated with realized decommissioning trust earnings provided a partial offset in results.

For additional details on EWC’s performance for the quarter, see Appendix D.

Parent & Other Results

Parent & Other reported a loss of 27 cents per share on an as-reported and an operational basis for first quarter 2015 compared to an as-reported and operational loss of 23 cents per share in first quarter 2014. No drivers were individually significant.

Earnings Guidance

Entergy affirmed its 2015 operational earnings guidance in the range of $5.10 to $5.90 per share. See webcast presentation slides for additional details.

(a)	The quarter-over-quarter increase was largely attributable to higher earnings on nuclear decommissioning trust funds (offset in net revenue) and higher earnings on investments in affiliate preferred membership interests (offset in Parent & Other).


(b)	The increase quarter-over-quarter was largely due to realized earnings from decommissioning trusts in the current quarter, including the rebalancing of VY’s decommissioning trust.


(c)	The quarter-over-quarter increase was attributable to a current period approximate $24 million reversal of a portion of the provision for uncertain tax provisions related to interest accrual.


(d)	The decrease period-over-period was due primarily to a first quarter 2014 adjustment of approximately $21.5 million related to a change in New York law which resulted in a reduction of deferred income taxes.


(e)	The quarter-over-quarter decrease reflected higher fossil generation costs, including increased scope for maintenance outages. Nuclear generation expenses were also higher due partly to increased spending for regulatory compliance. Other non-fuel O&M changes with offsets in net revenue include spending for MISO participation and energy efficiency programs.


(f)	The increase quarter-over-quarter was attributable to the closure of VY at the end of 2014. Excluding VY, non-fuel O&M was higher due to an increase in refueling outage amortization and fewer refueling outage days in the current quarter resulting in the lower deferral of costs for future amortization.



Utility As-Reported Net Revenue Variance Analysis 2015 vs. 2014 ($ EPS)
	First Quarter
Weather	(0.10)
Sales growth/pricing	0.36
Other	(0.01)
Total	0.25

(g)

The quarterly increase was due to both price and volume factors. The effect of pricing adjustments were positive, including the Louisiana FRP rate adjustments for placing Ninemile 6 in rates, the Entergy Louisiana, Entergy Texas and Entergy Mississippi rate cases and energy efficiency. A portion of these rate changes were for recovery of costs below net revenue. For volume, both weather-adjusted retail sales growth and estimated unbilled sales were higher quarter-over-quarter. The effects of weather were favorable in both periods, but more favorable in first quarter 2014 than first quarter 2015.

(h)

The decrease in the current quarter was due largely to the VY closure. Excluding VY, EWC net revenue declined, reflecting lower price partially offset by higher volume. In addition, the net effect of mark-to-market activity was negative in the current period compared to a positive contribution in the comparable period a year ago. Excluding VY, nuclear generation increased due to fewer refueling outage days. Forced outage days, however, were higher in the current period.

See webcast appendix for more details on the effects of the VY closure on EWC line item variances.

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
Expected sold and market total revenue per MWh	Total energy and capacity revenue on a per unit basis at which total planned generation output and capacity is expected to be sold given contract terms and market prices at a point in time, including estimates for market price changes affecting revenue received on puts, collars and call options, positive or negative basis differentials, option premiums and market prices at time of option expiration, costs to convert Firm LD to unit-contingent and other risk management costs, divided by total planned MWh of generation, excluding the revenue associated with the amortization of the Palisades below-market PPA



Appendix F-1: Definitions
EWC Operational Performance Measures (continued)
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
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
Net revenue		Operating revenue less fuel, fuel related expenses and purchased power
Non-fuel O&M		Operation and maintenance expenses excluding fuel, fuel-related expenses and gas purchased for resale, purchased power and investments in wind generation accounted for under the equity method of accounting
Non-fuel O&M per MWh		Non-fuel O&M per MWh billed
Offsetting positions		Transactions for the purchase of energy, generally to offset a Firm LD transaction
Owned capacity (MW)		Installed capacity owned and operated by EWC, including investments in wind generation accounted for under the equity method of accounting; VY (nuclear) was retired on Dec. 29, 2014 (605 MW)
Percent of capacity sold forward		Percent of planned qualified capacity sold to mitigate price uncertainty under physical or financial transactions
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
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
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 plant operation 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
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
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
