Consolidated Results

For third quarter 2018, the company reported earnings of $536 million, or $2.92 per share, on an as-reported basis and earnings of $693 million, or $3.77 per share, on an operational basis. This compared to third quarter 2017 earnings of $398 million, or $2.21 per share, on an as-reported basis and earnings of $424 million, or $2.35 per share on an operational basis.

Summary discussions by business are below. Additional details, including information on OCF by business, are provided in Appendix A and a comprehensive analysis of quarterly and year-to-date variances by business is provided in Appendix B.

Utility, Parent & Other Results

For third quarter 2018, the Utility business reported earnings attributable to Entergy Corporation of $505 million, or $2.75 per share, compared to $401 million, or $2.22 per share, in third quarter





2017. Drivers for the quarterly increase included favorable weather and the lower federal income tax rate, partially offset by higher non-fuel O&M.

The current period results reflected the return of unprotected excess ADIT to customers, which affected several income statement line items but was neutral to earnings. Specifically, this reduced income taxes by $283 million, reduced net revenue by $277 million and increased non-fuel O&M by $6 million.

Excluding the return of $277 million of unprotected excess ADIT to customers, net revenue increased, driven by favorable weather in third quarter 2018 compared to unfavorable weather a year ago. Rate actions to recover investments that benefit customers also contributed to the increase. Current period results also included regulatory provisions to return benefits of the lower federal tax rate to customers at Entergy Louisiana and Entergy New Orleans. Weather-adjusted billed sales volume increased period over period, but was more than offset by lower volume in the unbilled period.

On a weather-adjusted basis, billed retail sales increased 1.8 percent, including 0.8 percent and 1.4 percent for residential and commercial sales, respectively. Industrial billed sales volume increased 3.0 percent primarily driven by small industrials and cogeneration sales, as well as continued growth from new and expansion customers.

Excluding the $283 million unprotected excess ADIT, income taxes were lower driven by the reduction of the federal income tax rate.

Utility non-fuel O&M increased quarter-over-quarter. The primary drivers were higher spending on fossil operations and higher contract costs. Energy efficiency spending was also higher, but was largely offset in net revenue.

For third quarter 2018, Parent & Other reported a loss of $(73 million), or (40) cents per share, compared to a loss of $(58 million), or (32) cents per share, in third quarter 2017.

On a combined basis, Utility, Parent & Other (non-GAAP) contributed $2.35 to third quarter 2018 consolidated EPS compared to $1.90 in third quarter 2017. On an adjusted basis, excluding special items and normalizing weather and income taxes, Utility, Parent & Other contributed $2.27 in third quarter 2018 to consolidated EPS, compared to $2.15 in third quarter 2017.

Appendix C contains additional details on Utility financial and operating measures, including a reconciliation for non-GAAP Utility, Parent & Other adjusted earnings and EPS.

Entergy Wholesale Commodities Results

For third quarter 2018, EWC recorded earnings attributable to Entergy Corporation of $105 million, or 57 cents per share, on an as-reported basis and earned $262 million, or $1.42 per share, on an operational basis. This compared to third quarter 2017 earnings of $55 million, or 31 cents per share, on an as-reported basis and earnings of $81 million, or 45 cents per share, on an operational basis.

As-reported results in both periods reflected impairments and other expenses recorded as a result of strategic decisions for the wholesale business. These items totaled $(157 million), or (85) cents per share, in third quarter 2018, compared to $(26 million), or (14) cents per share, a year ago. The current period results included an upward revision to Pilgrim’s asset retirement obligation, which





resulted from an updated decommissioning study. The revision in the ARO resulted in a pre-tax asset impairment of $(117 million). Third quarter 2018 results also included a pre-tax write-off of materials and supplies at Pilgrim totaling $(25 million). These costs, along with other costs associated with strategic decisions for the wholesale business, were considered special items and excluded from operational earnings.

In addition, the current period results included two income tax items which reduced income taxes and increased earnings by $130 million, or 71 cents per share. Other income also increased largely due to higher realized gains on decommissioning trust funds. Partially offsetting the increase was lower net revenue as a result of lower nuclear energy pricing, as well as lower nuclear energy volume.

Appendix D contains additional details on EWC financial and operating measures, including a reconciliation for non-GAAP EWC operational adjusted EBITDA.

Earnings Guidance

Entergy updated its 2018 consolidated operational earnings guidance range to $6.75 to $7.25 per share and affirmed its Utility, Parent & Other adjusted guidance range of $4.50 to $4.90 per share. The updated consolidated operational earnings guidance range reflects a midpoint increase of 45 cents and a narrowing of the range to 50 cents (versus previous range of 60 cents). The updated guidance considers the effects of weather through September 30, 2018; higher-than-planned income tax items, including a potential item in the fourth quarter of 2018; and the effect of market performance to date in 2018 on EWC nuclear decommissioning trust returns. See webcast presentation slides for additional details.

The company has provided 2018 earnings guidance with regard to the non-GAAP measures of consolidated operational EPS and Utility, Parent & Other adjusted EPS. These measures exclude from the corresponding GAAP financial measures the effect of special items 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 special items that may occur during 2018. The only anticipated special items that the company can reasonably estimate at this time are those that relate to the decisions to sell or close the company’s merchant nuclear plants; these estimated costs, which are excluded from the earnings guidance, are expected to decrease as-reported EPS by approximately $(2.95) per share in 2018.

Entergy Corporation’s common stock is listed on the New York and Chicago stock exchanges 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 slide presentation. Both documents are available on Entergy’s Investor Relations website at www.entergy.com/investor_relations and on Entergy’s Investor Relations mobile web app at iretr.com.

Entergy maintains a web page as part of its Investor Relations website, entitled “Regulatory and Other Information,” which provides investors with key updates of 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 F.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This news release contains non-GAAP financial measures. Generally, a non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of a company’s performance, financial position, or cash flows that either excludes or includes 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 release of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Certain non-GAAP financial measures in this news release could differ from GAAP only in that the figure or ratio states or includes operational earnings. Operational earnings are not calculated in accordance with GAAP because they exclude the effect of “special items.” Special items are unusual or non-recurring items or events or other items or events that management believes do not reflect the ongoing business of Entergy, and may include items such as impairments, gains or losses on certain asset sales, and other gains or losses occurring as a result of strategic decisions such as Entergy’s decisions to shut down or sell its merchant nuclear plants. In addition, other financial measures including net income (or earnings), adjusted for preferred dividends and tax-effected interest expense; net revenue; return on average invested capital; and return on average common equity are included on both an operational and as-reported basis. In each case, the metrics defined as “operational” would exclude the effect of special items as defined above.

Entergy reports the combination of the Utility segment with Parent & Other as Utility, Parent & Other, which is all of Entergy excluding the EWC segment, since management uses this combination in making decisions about its ongoing business in light of its decision to exit the merchant power business. Entergy also reports Utility, Parent & Other adjusted earnings, which





combines the Utility segment with Parent & Other, excludes applicable special items and normalizes weather and income tax expense for the periods presented, because it believes that these financial metrics provide useful information to investors in evaluating the ongoing results of Entergy’s businesses and assist investors in comparing Entergy’s financial performance to the financial performance of other companies in the Utility sector. The methodologies employed to determine the normalized weather and income tax expense adjustments, each of which is further described in this release, involve estimations and the judgement of management.

In addition to reporting earnings per share on a consolidated basis, Entergy reports on a per share basis the earnings or loss of each of its segments, together with the combination of the Utility segment and Parent & Other. These per share measures represent the net income or loss of such segment or segments divided by the diluted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Entergy believes such per share measures provide useful information to investors in understanding the results of operations of those businesses and their contribution to Entergy’s consolidated results of operations.

Other non-GAAP measures, including adjusted EBITDA; operational adjusted EBITDA; gross liquidity; debt to capital ratio, excluding securitization debt; net debt to net capital ratio, excluding securitization debt; parent debt to total debt ratio, excluding securitization debt; operational FFO to debt ratio, excluding securitization debt and operational FFO to debt ratio, excluding securitization debt and return of unprotected excess ADIT are measures Entergy uses internally for management and board discussions and cash budgeting and performance monitoring activities 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.

The non-GAAP financial measures and other reported adjusted items in this release are presented in addition to, and in conjunction with, results presented in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be used to the exclusion of GAAP financial measures. 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. Investors are strongly encouraged to review Entergy’s consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and to not rely on any single financial measure. 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.

OCF decreased quarter-over-quarter due primarily to the return of the unprotected excess ADIT to customers, as well as lower net revenue and planned VY decommissioning spending at EWC. The decrease was partially offset by favorable weather and increased collections for fuel and purchased power cost recovery at the Utility.

Appendix A-3 and Appendix A-4 list special items by business. Amounts are shown on both an earnings and EPS basis. Special items are included in as-reported earnings consistent with GAAP, but are excluded from operational earnings. As a result, operational earnings is considered a non-GAAP measure.

(e)
The third quarter and year-to-date earnings decreases from lower Utility net revenue were driven by the return of unprotected excess ADIT to customers (offset in income taxes), as well as regulatory provisions at E-LA and E-NO to reflect regulatory agreements to return the benefits of the lower federal tax rate to customers. The decreases were partially offset by higher retail sales volume, including the effects of weather. In the third quarter, weather-adjusted billed sales volume increased, however this was more than offset by lower volume in the unbilled period. 2018 results also included rate changes from E-AR’s 2018 FRP and E-TX’s DCRF. An adjustment for updated depreciation rates at SERI and higher decommissioning trust fund returns also contributed to the decrease (largely offset in depreciation expense and other income).
(f)
The third quarter earnings decrease from lower EWC net revenue reflected lower energy prices as well as lower volume from EWC’s merchant nuclear plants. The year-to-date as-reported variance reflected cost reimbursements from the buyer related to the FitzPatrick sale in first quarter 2017 (classified as a special item and offset in non-fuel O&M). The year-to-date variance also reflected lower nuclear energy prices, partially offset by higher nuclear energy volume.
(g)
The third quarter and year-to-date earnings decreases from higher Utility non-fuel O&M were due primarily to higher spending on fossil operations and higher contract costs. Energy efficiency spending was also higher (largely offset in net revenue). The year-to-date variance also included higher storm reserves (also largely offset in net revenue). This was partially offset by higher nuclear insurance refunds in 2018 compared to 2017.
(h)
The third quarter as-reported earnings decrease from higher EWC non-fuel O&M was due primarily to higher severance and retention costs related to the exit of the EWC business compared to third quarter 2017 (classified as a special item). The year-to-date as-reported earnings increase is due primarily to costs incurred in first quarter 2017 related to the agreement to sell FitzPatrick (classified as a special item and offset in net revenue). The year-to-date variance also reflected increased nuclear spending and higher benefit costs, as well as lower nuclear refueling outage expenses.
(i)
The third quarter as-reported earnings decrease from higher EWC asset write-offs and impairments resulted from an upward revision of Pilgrim's ARO and a write-off of materials and supplies at Pilgrim (classified as special items). The ARO revision resulted from a recent decommissioning cost study. The year-to-date as-reported earnings increase from lower EWC asset write-offs and impairments also reflected lower impairment charges for EWC nuclear plants, partly due to Palisades no longer being impaired as a result of the decision to operate that plant until May 2022 (classified as special items).
(j)
The third quarter earnings increase from lower Utility depreciation expense was due primarily to updated depreciation rates at SERI (largely offset in net revenue). This was partially offset by higher depreciation expense due to higher plant in service.
(k)
The third quarter and year-to-date earnings increases from higher Utility other income (deductions) were due largely to gains on the decommissioning trust fund investments (largely offset in net revenue), as well as higher AFUDC - equity funds due to higher CWIP balances.
(l)
The third quarter and year-to-date earnings increases from higher EWC other income (deductions) were due largely to gains on decommissioning trust fund investments, including unrealized gains/losses on equity investments that were previously recorded as other comprehensive income on the balance sheet, now recorded to the income statement. The year-to-date as-reported earnings increase also reflected the absence of gains on the receipt of the Indian Point 3 and FitzPatrick decommissioning trust funds from NYPA in first quarter 2017 (classified as a special item).
(m)
The third quarter and year-to-date earnings increases from lower Utility income taxes were primarily due to the amortization of the unprotected excess ADIT (offset in net revenue), as well as the change in the federal income tax rate. The year-to-date variance also reflected income tax benefits from the settlement of the 2012‒2013 IRS audit in second quarter 2018.
(n)
The third quarter earnings increase from lower EWC income taxes reflected two tax items in third quarter 2018. First, a restructuring of its interest in an EWC decommissioning trust fund resulted in a reduction in income tax expense of $107 million. Second, the conclusion of a state income tax audit resulted in a benefit of $23 million. The year-to-date earnings decrease also reflected a $373 million reduction in tax expense in second quarter 2017 and $13 million in tax benefits in second quarter 2018, as well as the change in the federal income tax rate. The year-to-date as-reported variance also





reflected additional income tax expense due to the lower level of special items and a tax benefit in first quarter 2017, which resulted from the sale of FitzPatrick (classified as a special item).
(o)
The year-to-date earnings increase from lower EWC decommissioning expense was due primarily to the sale of FitzPatrick in first quarter 2017.
(p)
The year-to-date earnings decrease from higher Utility taxes other than income taxes was due to higher ad valorem and payroll taxes.
(q)
The year-to-date earnings increase from lower depreciation expense was due primarily to the decision to operate Palisades until May 2022, thereby extending the period in which the plant is depreciated.
(r)
The year-to-date as-reported earnings decrease from lower EWC gain on sale of assets was due to the gain on the sale of FitzPatrick in first quarter 2017 (classified as a special item).
(s)
The year-to-date earnings decrease from higher Parent & Other interest expense was due to higher borrowings, combined with higher variable interest rates.

(t)
The effects of weather were estimated using heating degree days and cooling degree days for the billing cycles 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.
(u)
Income tax effect is calculated by multiplying the pre-tax amount by the estimated income tax rates that are expected to apply.
(v)
Other income tax items represent the adjustment made to income tax expense to reflect a statutory tax rate estimated to be 25.5% in 2018 and 38.5% in 2017. The third quarter and year-to-date 2018 periods exclude reductions of $283 million and $561 million, respectively, for the return of unprotected excess ADIT (no earnings impact).
(w)
Per share amounts are calculated by dividing the corresponding earnings (loss) by the diluted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.

EWC Operating and Financial Measures
Average revenue per MWh on contracted volumes
Revenue on a per unit basis at which generation output reflected in contracts is expected to be sold to third parties (including offsetting positions) at the minimum contract prices and at forward market prices at a point in time, given existing contract or option exercise prices based on expected dispatch or capacity, excluding the revenue associated with the amortization of the below-market PPA for Palisades; revenue will fluctuate due to factors including market price changes affecting revenue received on puts, collars and call options, positive or negative basis differentials, option premiums and market prices at the time of option expiration, costs to convert firm LD to unit-contingent and other risk management costs
Average revenue under contract (applies to capacity contracts only) (in $/kW-month)
Revenue on a per unit basis at which capacity is expected to be sold to third parties, given existing contract prices and/or auction awards
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 New England, NYISO and MISO
Capacity factor
Normalized percentage of the period that the nuclear plants generate power
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
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
