      Consolidated results

      For fourth quarter 2025, the company reported earnings of $236 million, or 51 cents per share, on an as-reported and an adjusted basis. This compared to fourth quarter 2024 earnings of $286 million, or 65 cents per share, on an as-reported basis, and $291 million, or 66 cents per share, on an adjusted basis.

      For full year 2025, the company reported earnings of $1,758 million, or $3.91 per share, on an as-reported and an adjusted basis. This compared to full year 2024 earnings of $1,056 million, or $2.45 per share, on an as-reported basis, and $1,577 million, or $3.65 per share, on an adjusted basis.

      Summary discussions of full year results by business follow. Additional details, including information on operating cash flow by business, are provided in Appendix A. Appendix B provides a more detailed analysis of fourth quarter and full year earnings per share variances by business.

      Business results

      Utility

      For full year 2025, the Utility business reported earnings attributable to Entergy Corporation of $2,280 million, or $5.06 per share, on an as-reported and an adjusted basis. This compared to full year 2024 earnings of $1,827 million, or $4.23 per share, on an as-reported basis and earnings of $2,115 million, or $4.90 per share, on an adjusted basis.

      Drivers for the full year increase included:

      • the net effect of regulatory actions across the operating companies;
      • higher retail sales volume, including the impacts from weather;
      • higher other income (deductions);
      • return on construction work in progress for certain utility plant investments; and
      • lower nuclear refueling outage expenses.

      The increase was partially offset by:

      • higher interest expense,
      • higher other O&M,
      • higher depreciation expense, and
      • higher taxes other than income taxes.

      Full year 2024 results also reflected several items that were considered adjustments and excluded from adjusted earnings.

      • In first quarter 2024, Entergy Arkansas recorded a write off of $(132 million) ($(97 million) after tax) for a regulatory asset related to the opportunity sales proceeding.
      • In first quarter 2024, Entergy New Orleans recorded a regulatory charge of $(79 million) ($(57 million) after tax) to reflect the company's agreement to share additional income tax benefits from the 2016–2018 IRS audit resolution with customers.
      • In second quarter 2024, Entergy Louisiana recorded expenses totaling $(151 million) ($(112 million) after tax) to reflect an agreement in principle to resolve its FRP extension filing and other retail matters.
      • In fourth quarter 2024, as a result of a Louisiana state income tax rate change, the company recorded a $(29 million) increase in income tax expense and a $9 million ($7 million after tax) reduction to Entergy Louisiana regulatory liability related to securitization.

      On a per share basis, full year 2025 results reflected higher diluted average number of common shares outstanding primarily due to the settlement of equity forwards in May 2025 and Oct. 2025 as well as the dilutive effect of an increase in the stock price on unsettled equity forwards.

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

      Parent & Other

      For full year 2025, Parent & Other reported a loss attributable to Entergy Corporation of $(521 million), or $(1.16) per share, on an as-reported and an adjusted basis. This compared to a full year 2024 loss of $(771 million), or $(1.79) per share, on an as-reported basis and a loss of $(538 million), or $(1.25) per share, on an adjusted basis.

      Drivers for the full year change included:

      • change in other income (deductions) due to settlement charges totaling $(320 million) ($(253 million) after tax) recognized as a result of a group annuity contract purchased in May 2024 to settle certain pension liabilities (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings); and
      • lower fuel and purchased power expenses associated with the conclusion of a legacy EWC purchased power agreement in Dec. 2024.

      Results also reflected changes in asset write-offs and impairments primarily due to fourth quarter 2024 DOE spent fuel litigation settlements (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings) and change in the effective income tax rate primarily due to expiration of certain tax carryforwards in fourth quarter 2025.

      On a per share basis, full year 2025 results reflected higher diluted average number of common shares outstanding (see details in Utility section).

      Earnings per share guidance

      Entergy initiated its 2026 adjusted earnings per share guidance range of $4.25 to $4.45. See the earnings call presentation for additional details.

      The company has provided 2026 earnings guidance with regard to the non-GAAP measure of adjusted earnings per share. This measure excludes from the corresponding GAAP financial measure the effect of adjustments as described in the "Non-GAAP financial measures" section. 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. Potential adjustments include, among other things, certain significant income tax items, certain items recorded as a result of regulatory settlements or decisions, and certain unusual costs or expenses.

      Earnings teleconference

      Entergy Corporation's common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange and NYSE Texas 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 earnings call presentation. Both documents are available on Entergy's Investor Relations website at investors.entergy.com/investors/events-and-presentations.

      Entergy maintains a web page as part of its Investor Relations website entitled Regulatory and other information, which provides investors with key updates on 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 E.

      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 adjusted earnings, which excludes the effect of certain "adjustments". 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 significant income tax items, certain items recorded as a result of regulatory settlements or decisions, and certain unusual costs or expenses. In addition to reporting GAAP 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, owners, and analysts; 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 ROE, adjusted ROE excluding affiliate preferred, FFO to adjusted debt, gross liquidity, net liquidity, adjusted Parent debt to total adjusted debt, adjusted debt to adjusted capitalization, and adjusted net debt to adjusted net capitalization are measures Entergy uses internally for management and board of directors 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. These metrics are defined in Appendix E.

      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.

      (a)   

      Per share amounts are calculated by dividing the corresponding earnings (loss) by the diluted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. 

      See Appendix B for detailed earnings variance analysis.

      Appendix A-2 and Appendix A-3 detail 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.

      OCF increased year-over-year primarily due to higher Utility customer receipts, the receipt of nuclear and solar production tax credit sale proceeds, and higher advance payments related to customer agreements. These increases were partially offset by higher fuel and purchased power payments.

      The fourth quarter and full year earnings increases were driven by regulatory actions including: E-AR's FRP, E-LA's FRP (including riders), E-LA's RPCR, E-MS's FRP interim facilities rate adjustment, and E-TX's DCRF. The full year increase also reflected regulatory actions from E-MS's FRP and riders, E-NO's FRP, the portion of E-TX's base rate case relate-back in retail price, and Grand Gulf recovery. The increases also reflected higher electric volume (including the effects of weather) and revenue related to the amortization of certain customer advances designed to provide a return on CWIP for certain utility plant investment, which is recognized as the related costs are incurred. Also contributing to the increase was the net effect of E-AR regulatory credits for historical year netting adjustments recorded in the fourth quarters of 2024 and 2025. The increases were partially offset by the absence of revenues from the natural gas LDC businesses that were sold in July 2025, higher MISO capacity costs at E-TX, and changes in regulatory provisions for decommissioning items (based on regulatory treatment, decommissioning-related variances are offset in other line items and are largely earnings neutral). In fourth quarter 2024, as a result of the Louisiana state income tax rate change, E-LA recorded a $9 million ($7 million after tax) adjustment to a regulatory liability primarily related to securitization (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings). The full year increase also reflected a first quarter 2024 $(79 million) ($(57 million) after tax) regulatory provision recorded at E-NO to reflect the company's agreement to share additional income tax benefits from the 2016–2018 IRS audit resolution with customers and a second quarter 2024 regulatory charge of $(150 million) ($(111 million) after tax) recorded as a result of E-LA reaching a settlement with the LPSC staff and other parties to resolve its FRP extension filing and other retail matters (both considered adjustments and excluded from adjusted earnings).

      (g)     

      The fourth quarter decrease from higher Utility other O&M reflected higher power delivery expenses primarily due to higher vegetation management costs, an increase in loss provisions, an increase in bad debt expense, and higher non-nuclear generation expenses primarily due to higher scope of work during plant outages performed in 2025 as compared to 2024. The fourth quarter decrease was partially offset by lower compensation and benefits costs primarily due to lower incentive-based accruals in 2025 as compared to 2024 and lower expenses as a result of the sale of the natural gas LDCs businesses in July 2025. The full year earnings decrease from higher Utility other O&M reflected higher power delivery expenses primarily due to higher vegetation management costs, an increase in loss provisions, an increase in bad debt expense, higher non-nuclear generation expenses largely due to a higher scope of work performed during power outages, higher MISO transmission costs, and an increase in project write-offs. The full year decrease was partially offset by lower contract costs in 2025 related to operational performance, customer service, and organizational health initiatives; a gain from the sale of natural gas LDC businesses on July 1, 2025; and lower expenses as a result of the sale of the natural gas LDC businesses.

      (h)     

      The fourth quarter and full year as-reported earnings decreases from Parent & Other asset write-offs and impairments, and related charges were due to spent fuel litigation settlements totaling $25 million ($19 million after tax) related to Vermont Yankee and Palisades recorded in fourth quarter 2024 (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings).

      (i)     

      The fourth quarter earnings increase from higher Utility other income (deductions) was primarily due to higher nuclear decommissioning trust returns including portfolio rebalancing (based on regulatory treatment, decommissioning-related variances are offset in other line items and are largely earnings neutral) and an increase in the amortization of tax gross ups on customer advances for construction. The fourth quarter increase was partially offset by lower AFUDC-equity due to a reclassification of customer advances for return on investment of certain CWIP to revenue. The full year earnings increase was primarily due to higher AFUDC–equity due to higher CWIP, an increase in the amortization of tax gross ups on customer advances, an increase in interest earned on external money pool investments, and a true-up of E-LA's MISO cost recovery mechanism. The full year increase was partially offset by lower intercompany dividend income from affiliate preferred membership interest related to storm cost securitizations (largely offset at P&O). 

      (j)     

      The fourth quarter and full year earnings decreases from higher Utility interest expense were primarily due to higher debt balances, higher interest rates, higher carrying costs on customer advances, and higher interest on nuclear production tax credit interest. The full year decrease was partially offset by higher AFUDC–debt due to higher CWIP.

      (k)     

      The fourth quarter and full year as-reported earnings increases from lower Utility income taxes – other were primarily due to a $29 million income tax expense recorded in fourth quarter 2024 as a result of the Louisiana state tax rate decrease (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings).

      (l)     

      The fourth quarter and full year earnings decreases from higher Parent & Other income taxes – other were primarily due to expiration of certain tax carryforwards in fourth quarter 2025.

      (m)   

      The fourth quarter and full year earnings per share impacts from share effect were from higher diluted average number of common shares outstanding primarily due to the settlement of equity forwards in May 2025 and Oct. 2025 and the dilutive effect of an increase in the stock price on unsettled equity forwards.

      (n)     

      The full year earnings increase was primarily due to lower purchased power expenses associated with the conclusion of a legacy EWC purchased power agreement in Dec. 2024.

      (o)     

      The full year earnings increase from lower Utility nuclear refueling outage expenses was primarily due to the amortization of lower costs associated with the most recent outages as compared to previous outages.

      (p)     

      The full year as-reported earnings increase from lower Utility asset write-offs, impairments, and related charges was due to the first quarter 2024 write off of an E-AR $(132 million) ($(97 million) after tax) regulatory asset related to the opportunity sales proceeding (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings).

      (q)     

      The full year earnings decrease from higher Utility taxes other than income taxes was primarily due to an increase in ad valorem taxes resulting from milage rate increases and higher local franchise taxes as a result of higher retail revenue. The decrease was partially offset by lower franchise taxes resulting from the expiration of Louisiana's state franchise tax statue.

      (r)     

      The full year earnings decrease from higher Utility depreciation and amortization was primarily due to higher plant in service and increases in E-LA's nuclear depreciation rates effective Sept. 2024 and Sept. 2025. The decrease was partially offset by the recognition of depreciation expense from E-TX's 2022 base rate case relate back in first and second quarters of 2024 and the absence of depreciation expense resulting from the sale of natural gas LDC businesses on July 1, 2025.

      (s)     

      The full year as-reported earnings increase from higher Parent & Other other income (deductions) was largely due to a non-cash pension settlement charge of ($(317 million) ($(250 million) after tax) associated with the purchase of a group annuity contract to settle certain pension liabilities recorded in second quarter 2024 and a $(3 million) ($(3 million) after tax) true-up recorded in fourth quarter 2024 (considered adjustments and excluded from adjusted earnings).

      The effects of weather were estimated using heating degree days and cooling degree days for the period 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.

      Full year weather-adjusted retail sales increased 3.9 percent. The increase was primarily due to a 6.7 percent increase in industrial volume driven by higher sales to primary metals, petroleum refining, chlor-alkali, and technology industries. Residential sales were 2.1 percent higher and commercial sales increased 1.2 percent.
