Summary discussions by business are below. Additional details, including information on OCF by business, are provided in Appendix A. An analysis of quarterly and year-to-date variances by business is provided in Appendix B.
Business segment results
Utility
For second quarter 2022, the Utility business reported earnings attributable to Entergy Corporation of $153 million, or 75 cents per share, on an as-reported basis, and earnings of $444 million, or $2.17 per share, on an adjusted basis. This compared to second quarter 2021 earnings of $326 million, or $1.62 per share, on both an as-reported and an adjusted basis. There were several drivers for the quarter's results.
In second quarter 2022, SERI recorded a regulatory charge of $(551 million) ($(413 million) after tax) to increase a regulatory liability to reflect the effects of a partial settlement agreement and offer of settlement related to pending proceedings before the FERC. In June 2022, the MPSC approved a settlement for its 40 percent portion of the complaints. The $588 million liability balance reflects potential refunds if a full settlement is reached with all parties on the same terms as the MPSC settlement. This item was considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings.
As a result of receiving approvals for storm cost recovery and issuance of securitized debt at E-LA and E-TX, the companies recorded the following:
- the equity portion of carrying costs on storm expenditures not previously recorded (the portions related to prior years were considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings),
- a reduction in other income to account for LURC's 1 percent beneficial interest in the trust established as part of E-LA's securitization (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings),
- a reduction in income tax expense as a result of securitization (considered adjustments and excluded from adjusted earnings), and
- amounts reserved to share benefits of securitization with customers (considered adjustments and excluded from adjusted earnings).
Other drivers included:
- higher retail sales volume, including the impacts of weather;
- the net effect of regulatory actions across the operating companies;
- higher operating expenses including other O&M, depreciation expense, and taxes other than income taxes; and
- regulatory provisions recorded in second quarter 2021.
On a per share basis, second quarter 2022 results reflected higher diluted average number of common shares outstanding.
Appendix C contains additional details on Utility operating and financial measures.
Parent & Other
For second quarter 2022, Parent & Other reported a loss attributable to Entergy Corporation of $(80 million), or (39) cents per share, on both an as-reported and an adjusted basis. This compared to a second quarter 2021 loss of $(57 million), or (28) cents per share, on both an as-reported and an adjusted basis. Income taxes contributed to the variance.
On a per share basis, second quarter 2022 results reflected higher diluted average number of common shares outstanding.
Entergy Wholesale Commodities
For second quarter 2022, EWC reported earnings attributable to Entergy Corporation of $87 million, or 42 cents per share, on an as-reported basis. This compared to a second quarter 2021 loss attributable to Entergy Corporation of $(275 million), or $(1.37) per share, on an as-reported basis. Drivers for the quarter included:
- a gain of $166 million ($130 million after-tax) as a result of the sale of Palisades in second quarter 2022,
- a loss of $340 million ($268 million after-tax) on the sale of Indian Point in second quarter 2021,
- lower other O&M and depreciation expense due primarily to the shutdown of Indian Point 3 and Palisades, and
- lower decommissioning expenses primarily due to the sale of Indian Point.
These drivers were partially offset by:
- lower revenue primarily due to the shutdown of Indian Point 3 and Palisades, and
- the absence of earnings from NDTs as a result of the sale of Indian Point.
On a per share basis, second quarter 2022 results reflected higher diluted average number of common shares outstanding.
Appendix D contains additional details on EWC operating and financial measures, including reconciliation for non-GAAP EWC adjusted EBITDA.
Earnings per share guidance
Entergy affirmed its 2022 adjusted EPS guidance range of $6.15 to $6.45, and the company expects results to be in the top half of the range. See webcast presentation for additional details.
The company has provided 2022 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 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 20 cents in 2022.

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 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 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 exit from 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; 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, ROE is included on both an adjusted and an as-reported basis. 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.

OCF decreased for the quarter due largely to the higher fuel and purchased power cost. Higher interest payments also contributed to the decline. These decreases were partially offset by lower severance and retention payments at EWC, lower non-capital storm restoration expenditures, and higher utility customer receipts (including the effects of weather).

(e) | EPS effect is calculated by multiplying the pre-tax variance by the estimated income tax rate that is expected to apply and dividing by diluted average number of common shares outstanding for the prior period; income taxes–other represents income tax differences other than the tax effect of individual line items. |
(f) | The second quarter and year-to-date variances included a $551 million ($413 million after-tax) regulatory charge recorded by SERI in second quarter 2022; the provision was recorded to reflect the effects of a partial settlement agreement and offer of settlement related to pending proceedings before the FERC (this item was considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings). The variances also reflected items resulting from E-LA and E-TX storm cost approval and securitization. The companies recorded $59 million in revenues ($54 million after-tax) for the equity component of carrying charges on those storm costs ($46 million ($42 million after tax) associated with prior years was considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings). E-LA also recorded a $224 million ($117 million after-tax) regulatory provision for sharing the benefits of E-LA's securitization with customers (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings). Regulatory actions that affected variances included E-AR's FRP; E-LA's FRP; E-MS's FRP and ad valorem rider; E-NO's FRP; and E-TX's GCRR, TCRF, and DCRF. Volume / weather was also a driver. The variance also reflected a change in regulatory provisions for decommissioning items (the difference between expense and trust earnings plus costs collected in revenue, largely earnings neutral). Two items recorded in second quarter 2021 contributed to the variances: a regulatory credit for E-MS, primarily for its 2020 lookback evaluation, and a reserve adjustment for the FERC MSS-4 ROE decision. The year-to-date variance also included the first quarter 2021 reversal of an E-AR regulatory provision; partially offsetting was a regulatory provision for the true-up of E-LA and E-TX cost of debt from 2020 storms. |
(g) | The second quarter and year-to-date earnings decreases were due largely to the shutdown of Palisades in May 2022 and Indian Point 3 in April 2021 and lower realized wholesale energy and capacity prices. |
(h) | The second quarter and year-to-date earnings decreases from higher Utility other O&M was due primarily to higher power delivery expenses, higher energy efficiency costs, higher customer service center support costs, higher bad debt expense, and an increase in loss provisions. The year-to-date variance also included higher nuclear and non-nuclear generation expenses and higher legal expenses, partially offset by higher nuclear insurance refunds. |
(i) | The second quarter and year-to-date earnings increases from lower EWC other O&M were due largely to the shutdown of Indian Point 3 in April 2021 and Palisades in May 2022. The second quarter variance was partially offset by higher severance and retention expenses. |
(j) | The second quarter and year-to-date earnings increases from lower asset write-offs and impairments were due largely to two items. In second quarter 2022, a $166 million gain ($130 million after-tax) was recorded as a result of the sale of Palisades. In second quarter 2021, a $340 million loss ($268 million after-tax) was recorded as a result of the sale of Indian Point. |
(k) | The second quarter and year-to-date earnings increases from lower EWC decommissioning expense were due primarily to the sale of Indian Point in May 2021. |
(l) | The second quarter and year-to-date earnings decreases from higher Utility taxes other than income taxes were due to increases in ad valorem and franchise taxes. The year-to-date variance also reflected higher employment taxes. |
(m) | The second quarter and year-to-date earnings decreases from higher Utility depreciation expense were due primarily to higher plant in service. |
(n) | The second quarter and year-to-date earnings increases from lower EWC depreciation expense were due primarily to the shutdown of Indian Point 3 in April 2021 and Palisades in May 2022. |
(o) | The second quarter and year-to-date as-reported earnings decreases from lower Utility other income (deductions) reflected a few drivers. In second quarter 2022, three items were recorded as a result of E-LA securitization: (a) a $32 million reduction to interest and investment income (loss) was recorded to account for LURC's 1% beneficial interest in the trust established as part of the securitization (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings); (b) an adjustment to AFUDC-equity for the approved equity component of carrying costs on 2020 storms not previously recorded (the portion relating to prior years was considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings), and (c) higher intercompany dividend income related to the new intercompany investment in preferred stock resulting from E-LA's securitization compared to the previous affiliate preferred investment that was liquidated (offset in P&O). The variances also reflected lower non-service pension costs. The year-to-date variance also reflected changes in decommissioning trust fund returns (based on regulatory treatment, decommissioning-related variances are largely earnings neutral). |
(p) | The second quarter and year-to-date earnings decreases from lower EWC other income (deductions) were due largely to the absence of earnings from nuclear decommissioning trust funds that were transferred in the sale of Indian Point in May 2021 and the performance of Palisades decommissioning trust investments. The decrease was partially offset by lower non-service pension costs. |
(q) | The second quarter and year-to-date as-reported increases from Utility income taxes were due largely to a second quarter 2022 $283 million income tax benefit related to securitization financing of Hurricane Laura, Hurricane Delta, Hurricane Zeta, Winter Storm Uri, and a portion of Hurricane Ida (this item was considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings). |
(r) | The second quarter and year-to-date earnings decreases from Parent & Other income taxes reflected a reversal of a $9 million valuation allowance related to the interest expense limitation recorded in second quarter 2021. |
(s) | The year-to-date earnings decrease from Parent & Other other income (deductions) was largely due to lower intercompany dividend income related to the new intercompany investment in preferred stock resulting from E-LA's securitization compared to the previous affiliate preferred investment that was liquidated (offset in Utility). |
(t) | The year-to-date earnings decrease from higher Utility interest expense was due primarily to higher debt balances. |
(u) | The year-to-date earnings decrease from higher Parent & Other interest expense was due primarily to higher debt balances and intercompany guarantee activity. |

(v) | 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. |
For the quarter, retail sales volume increased across all customer classes, including the effect of hotter weather on residential and commercial sales. The increase in industrial usage was due to an increase in demand from expansion projects, primarily in the chemicals, transportation, and petroleum refining industries, an increase in demand from cogeneration customers, and an increase in demand from existing customers, primarily in the chemicals and pulp and paper industries as a result of prior year temporary plant shutdowns. The increase in weather-adjusted commercial usage was primarily due to an increase in customers and the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on businesses in second quarter 2021.
