Consolidated Results

For first quarter 2021, the company reported earnings of $335 million, or $1.66 per share, on an as-reported basis, and earnings of $297 million, or $1.47 per share, on an adjusted basis. This compared to first quarter 2020 earnings of $119 million, or 59 cents per share, on an as-reported basis, and earnings of $230 million, or $1.14 per share, on an adjusted basis.




Summary discussions by business are below. Additional details, including information on OCF by business, are provided in Appendix A. An analysis of quarterly variances by business is provided in Appendix B.

Business Segment Results

Utility

For first quarter 2021, the Utility business reported earnings attributable to Entergy Corporation of $357 million, or $1.77 per share, on both an as-reported and an adjusted basis. This compared to first quarter 2020 earnings of $320 million, or $1.59 per share, on both an as-reported and an adjusted basis. Drivers for the quarter included:
•    higher retail sales volume, including the net effects of weather and COVID-19;
•    the net effect of regulatory actions across the operating companies; and
•    the reversal of a regulatory provision at E-AR for its 2019 netting adjustment, originally recorded in fourth quarter 2020.

These drivers were partially offset by:
•    two income tax items recorded in first quarter 2020, which was partially offset at P&O;
•    higher other O&M primarily due to higher nuclear and non-nuclear generation expenses; and
•    higher depreciation and interest expenses.

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

Parent & Other

For first quarter 2021, Parent & Other reported a loss attributable to Entergy Corporation of $(60 million), or (30) cents per share, on both an as-reported and an adjusted basis. This compared to a first quarter 2020 loss of $(90 million), or (45) cents per share, on both an as-reported and an adjusted basis. A primary driver was an income tax item recorded in first quarter 2020, which was partially offset at the Utility.

Entergy Wholesale Commodities

For first quarter 2021, EWC reported earnings attributable to Entergy Corporation of
$38 million, or 19 cents per share, on an as-reported basis. This compared to a first quarter 2020 loss attributable to Entergy Corporation of $(111 million), or (55) cents per share, on an as-reported basis. Drivers for the quarter included:
•    performance of decommissioning trust funds; and
•    lower operating expenses primarily due to the shutdown of Indian Point 2.

These drivers were partially offset by:
•    lower revenue primarily due to the shutdown of Indian Point 2.




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

Earnings Per Share Guidance

Entergy affirmed its 2021 adjusted EPS guidance range of $5.80 to $6.10. See webcast presentation for additional details.

The company has provided 2021 earnings guidance with regard to the non-GAAP measure of Entergy adjusted EPS. 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. One such adjustment will be the exclusion of EWC earnings from Entergy adjusted EPS. We currently estimate that the contribution of EWC to Entergy’s as-reported EPS will be approximately $(1.70) in 2021. This estimate is subject to substantial uncertainty due to, among other things, the potential effects of exiting the EWC business.

Entergy Corporation is an integrated energy company engaged in electric power production, transmission and retail distribution operations. Entergy delivers electricity to nearly 3 million utility customers in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. Entergy owns and operates one of the cleanest large-scale U.S. power generating fleets with approximately 30,000 megawatts of electric generating capacity, including 8,000 megawatts of nuclear power. Headquartered in New Orleans, Louisiana, Entergy has annual revenues of $10 billion and 13,400 employees.
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 www.entergy.com/investor_relations.




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, 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,” including the removal of the Entergy Wholesale Commodities segment in light of the company’s decision to exit the merchant power business. 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 the results of the EWC segment, 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 EBITDA; adjusted ROE; adjusted ROE, excluding affiliate preferred; adjusted ROIC; 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; FFO to debt, excluding securitization debt; and FFO to debt, excluding securitization debt, return of unprotected excess ADIT, and severance and retention payments associated with exit of EWC,



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, other financial measures including net income (or earnings) adjusted for preferred dividends and tax-effected interest expense and FFO are included on both an adjusted and an as-reported basis. In each case, the metrics defined as “adjusted” (other than EWC’s adjusted EBITDA) exclude the effect of adjustments as defined above. EWC’s adjusted EBITDA represents EWC’s earnings before interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization, and also excludes decommissioning expense.

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

In this news release, and from time to time, Entergy Corporation makes certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements regarding Entergy’s 2021 earnings guidance; its current financial and operational outlooks; and other statements of Entergy’s plans, beliefs, or expectations included in this news release.

Except to the extent required by the federal securities laws, Entergy undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements, including (a) those factors discussed elsewhere in this news release and in Entergy’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and Entergy’s other reports and filings made under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; (b) uncertainties associated with (1) rate proceedings, formula rate plans, and other cost recovery mechanisms, including the risk that costs may not be recoverable to the extent anticipated by the utilities and (2) implementation of the ratemaking effects of changes in law; (c) uncertainties associated with efforts to remediate the effects of major storms and recover related restoration costs; (d) risks associated with operating nuclear

OCF decreased quarter-over-quarter due primarily to the timing of fuel and purchased power cost recovery, primarily related to increased fuel costs from Winter Storm Uri, payments related to hurricane restoration (non-capital portion), and higher pension funding. Intercompany income tax payments contributed to the line of business variances but were immaterial at the consolidated level.

Appendix A-3 and Appendix A-4 list 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.

(e)The earnings increase was primarily driven by higher volume/weather, including the net effects of COVID-19; E-LA’s FRP, including recovery of LCPS; E-TX’s GCRR, TCRF and DCRF; E-NO NOPS recovery; and E-MS’s FRP and vegetation rider. The variance also reflected the reversal of a regulatory provision for E-AR’s 2019 netting adjustment (which was subsequently adjusted) and a first quarter 2020 regulatory liability for tax sharing with E-LA customers (partially offsets the Hurricane Isaac Act 55 income tax item discussed in footnote o). Partially offsetting was lower regulatory credits for the difference between decommissioning expenses and decommissioning trust earnings plus decommissioning costs collected in revenue (largely earnings neutral, offset in Utility other income (deductions)-other).
(f)The earnings decrease was due largely to lower revenues from the shutdown of Indian Point 2 in April 2020.
(g)The earnings decrease from higher Utility other O&M was due primarily to higher non-nuclear generation expenses related to new plants in service, primarily LCPS, higher vegetation costs, higher nuclear generation expense, and lower nuclear insurance refunds.
(h)The earnings increase from lower EWC other O&M was due largely to the shutdown of Indian Point 2 in April 2020.
(i)The earnings increase from lower EWC taxes other than income taxes was due primarily to lower payroll taxes and lower ad valorem taxes.
(j)The earnings decrease from higher Utility depreciation expense was due primarily to higher plant in service, including LCPS and MCPS.
(k)The earnings increase from lower EWC depreciation expense was due primarily to the shutdown of Indian Point 2 in April 2020.
(l)The earnings increase from higher Utility other income (deductions)–other was due largely to changes in decommissioning trust fund returns (based on regulatory treatment, decommissioning-related variances are largely earnings neutral), partially offset by lower AFUDC as a result of lower construction work in progress.
(m)The earnings increase from higher EWC other income (deductions)–other was due largely to performance of nuclear decommissioning trust fund investments.
(n)The earnings decrease from higher Utility interest expense was due primarily to higher debt balances at E-LA and lower AFUDC as a result of lower construction work in progress.
(o)The earnings decrease from Utility income taxes-other primarily relates to two first quarter 2020 items. First, a $55 million tax benefit was recorded in first quarter 2020 as a result of an IRS settlement related to Act 55 financing of Hurricane Isaac costs (partly offset by customer sharing, discussed in footnote e); and second, an annual tax accrual related to stock-based compensation resulted in a $22 million income tax benefit in first quarter 2020.
(p)The earnings increase from Parent & Other income taxes-other reflected $23 million of income tax expense recorded in first quarter 2020 as a result of the IRS settlement related to the Hurricane Isaac Act 55 financing (discussed in footnote o).

(q)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.

On a weather-adjusted basis billed retail sales decreased (1.6) percent, including the impacts from COVID-19. Residential billed sales increased 2.2 percent and commercial billed sales decreased (4.2) percent. Industrial billed sales volume decreased (3.0) percent reflecting lower sales to existing large and small customers, partially offset by continued growth from new/expansion customers.
