Consolidated Results
For first quarter 2017, the company reported earnings of 46 cents per share on an as-reported basis and EPS of 99 cents on an operational basis, as compared to first quarter 2016 EPS of $1.28 on an as-reported basis and operational EPS of $1.35.
Additional details, including information on OCF by business, are provided in Appendix A and a comprehensive analysis of quarterly variances is provided in Appendix B.
Utility, Parent & Other Results
For first quarter 2017, Utility EPS were 92 cents on both an as-reported basis and an operational basis. In first quarter 2016, Utility as-reported and operational EPS were $1.09. The current period results reflected the effects of new rate actions to recover investments that benefit customers. However, the impacts of higher operating expenses and weather led to the overall decline in results.
Net revenue increased quarter-over-quarter, driven by regulatory actions across the utility jurisdictions, including EAI's 2017 FRP rate changes. Sales volume declined due to lower residential and commercial sales across the service territory, including the effects of weather.
Industrial sales growth was positive. Growth from new and expanding customers was partly offset by lower sales to existing customers, primarily in the refining segment. Sales to refiners were down on customer outages, which were expected.
Utility non-fuel O&M increased quarter-over-quarter. First quarter 2016 included a favorable deferral of previously-expensed costs which resulted from EAI's rate case order. In 2017, fossil spending was higher, primarily related to the acquisition of Union in March of last year. Higher spending on nuclear operations was largely offset by lower regulatory compliance costs at ANO.
In first quarter 2017, Parent & Other reported a loss of (30) cents per share on both an as-reported basis and an operational basis. In first quarter 2016, Parent & Other reported an as-reported and operational loss of (25) cents per share.
On a combined basis, Utility, Parent & Other EPS were 62 cents on an as-reported basis and 83 cents on an adjusted basis. In first quarter 2016, Utility, Parent & Other as-reported EPS were 84 cents and adjusted EPS were 95 cents. Adjusted earnings exclude special items and the effects of weather and normalize income taxes.
Appendix C contains additional details on Utility financial and operational measures, including a schedule of Utility, Parent & Other adjusted earnings and EPS.
Entergy Wholesale Commodities Results
For first quarter 2017, EWC recorded a loss of (16) cents per share on an as-reported basis and operational EPS of 37 cents. For the comparable period in 2016, EWC earned 44 cents per share on an as-reported basis and operational EPS of 51 cents.
The decrease in EWC's as-reported results was due largely to impairments and other items recorded as a result of strategic decisions for the wholesale business. Impairments were for fuel purchases and refueling outage costs as well as capital spending. First quarter 2017 as-reported results also included items which resulted from the FitzPatrick transaction, including a gain on that sale and an income tax benefit. All of these were considered special items and excluded from operational earnings.
Excluding the items above, earnings from FitzPatrick's operations declined. The plant was sold on March 31, 2017.
From the remaining plants, net revenue declined due to lower power prices. This was partially offset by lower nuclear fuel costs, which were affected by impairments. Non-fuel O&M reflected lower refueling outage expense, which was also affected by impairments. Decommissioning expense increased due primarily to the transfer of Indian Point 3 liability from NYPA. This was partially offset by an increase in other income, which was due to earnings on decommissioning trusts.
Appendix D contains additional details on EWC financial and operational measures, including a schedule of EWC operational adjusted EBITDA calculations.
Earnings Guidance
Entergy affirmed its 2017 operational guidance in the range of $4.75 to $5.35 per share and Utility, Parent & Other adjusted EPS guidance range of $4.25 to $4.55. See webcast presentation slides for additional details.
The company has provided 2017 earnings guidance with regard to the non-GAAP measures of 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 reasonably estimate all of the special items that may occur for the periods presented. The company's current estimate for special items in 2017 relates to the decisions to close or sell its merchant nuclear plants; those anticipated special items are expected to decrease as-reported EPS by approximately $2.10 per share. Other special items may occur during the periods presented, the impact of which cannot reasonably be estimated at this time.

For definitions of certain operational measures, as well as GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures and abbreviations and acronyms used in the earnings release materials, see Appendix F and Appendix G.
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 and the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Certain non-GAAP 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 impairment, gains or losses on asset sales, and other gains or losses occurring as a result of strategic decisions such as Entergy's recent decisions to shut down or sell its merchant nuclear plants. Operational earnings per share are presented for each of Entergy's reportable business segments as well as on a consolidated basis. In addition, other financial measures including net income (or earnings), adjusted for preferred dividends and tax effected interest expense; operational 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 also reports Utility, Parent & Other adjusted earnings and earnings per share, which exclude from GAAP earnings the special items described above and weather and normalizes tax expense for the periods presented. Management believes that financial metrics calculated using operational earnings or otherwise adjusted as described above could provide useful information to investors in evaluating the ongoing results of Entergy's businesses and could assist investors in comparing Entergy's operating performance to the operating performance of others in the Utility sector.
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; debt to operational adjusted EBITDA, excluding securitization debt; operational FFO to debt ratio, excluding securitization debt; 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 could provide useful information to investors in evaluating Entergy's ongoing financial results and flexibility, and could assist 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, could 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 was relatively flat quarter-over-quarter. Reduced cash flow from the timing of recovery for fuel and purchased power at the Utility and lower net revenue at EWC (excluding revenue from the FitzPatrick reimbursement agreement) were largely offset by cash flow from income taxes and reduced spending on Vermont Yankee decommissioning. Intercompany income tax payments also contributed to the line of business variances.
Appendix A-3 and Appendix A-4 list special items by business. Amounts are shown on both a net income basis and an EPS basis. Special items are included in as-reported earnings consistent with GAAP, but are excluded from operational earnings. As a result, operational EPS is considered a non-GAAP measure.

See appendix in the webcast slide presentation for additional details on EWC line item variances.
| (d) |
EPS effect is calculated by multiplying the pre-tax amount by the estimated income tax rate that is expected to apply and then dividing by the fully diluted average shares outstanding for the period; income taxes – other represents income tax differences other than the tax effect of individual line items. |
| (e) |
The increase was driven largely by realized earnings on decommissioning trust funds. Approximately 5 cents, classified as special item, was from gains on the receipt of nuclear decommissioning trust funds from NYPA in January 2017. |
| (f) |
The decrease was due to an increase in impairments recorded for refueling outage costs, nuclear fuel purchases and capital expenditures (classified as special items and excluded from operational results). |
| (g) |
The increase was due to a gain on the sale of FitzPatrick (classified as a special item and excluded from operational results). |
| (h) |
The decrease was due largely to additions to plant in service, including the Union Power Station acquired in March 2016. |
| (i) |
The decrease was due to several drivers. In first quarter 2016, EAI recorded a deferral for $18 million (pre-tax) for previously-expensed costs related to post Fukushima and flood barrier compliance. Fossil spending was higher for Union expenses (Union was acquired in March 2016) and overall higher scope of work. Compensation and benefits expense increased due partly to a revision to estimated incentive compensation expense in first quarter 2016. Expense associated with loss reserves also increased. Spending for nuclear operations was higher, but was largely offset by lower spending associated with regulatory compliance costs at ANO. |
| (j) |
The as-reported decrease reflected higher expenses related to the agreement to sell FitzPatrick and other costs which resulted from decisions to close or sell EWC's nuclear plants (classified as a special item and excluded from operational results). Partially offsetting was lower refueling outage expense, which was affected by impairments. |
| (k) |
The as-reported increase resulted from the re-determination of FitzPatrick's tax basis as a result of the sale of the plant (classified as a special item and excluded from operational results). |

| (l) |
The increase reflected full-quarter effects from the first quarter 2016 EAI rate case and rate actions associated with the Union acquisition (a portion of those increases was for Union operating expenses) as well as EAI's FRP rate increase in 2017. EMI's 2016 FRP and ETI's TCRF rate changes also contributed. In addition, in first quarter 2016 EAI recorded a charge to reflect the estimated impact from a FERC order on opportunity sales case. Partially offsetting was lower volume, including the effects of weather. |
| (m) |
The as-reported increase included cost reimbursements from the buyer related to the FitzPatrick sale (classified as special items and excluded from operational results). Operational revenue from FitzPatrick was also lower. Pricing for nuclear assets was also a factor in the decline. Partially offsetting was lower fuel expense, which was affected by impairments. |
| (n) |
The decrease resulted primarily from the establishment of decommissioning liabilities at Indian Point 3 and FitzPatrick in August 2016 (resulted from agreement with NYPA to transfer decommissioning liabilities and associated trusts to Entergy). Revisions to the estimated decommissioning cost liabilities for Indian Point and Palisades in the fourth quarter 2016 also contributed to the decrease. |

E: Consolidated Financial Measures
Appendix E provides comparative financial measures. Financial measures in this table include those calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, as well as those that are considered non-GAAP measures.
As-reported measures in this table are computed in accordance with GAAP as they include all components of net income, including special items. Operational measures in this table are non-GAAP measures as they are calculated using operational net income, which excludes the impact of special items.
