      Company affirms guidance and outlooks

      NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Entergy Corporation (NYSE: ETR) reported second quarter 2023 earnings per share of $1.84 on both an as-reported and adjusted (non-GAAP) basis.

      "We had a successful second quarter with meaningful progress on key regulatory and legislative fronts that will enable customer-centric investments in resilience, reliability, and clean energy," said Drew Marsh, Entergy Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  "Our industrial growth pipeline continues to expand as the Gulf's unique advantages remain supportive despite broader economic headwinds." 

      Business highlights included the following:

      • E-LA completed a major project in Southeast Louisiana with reliability and resilience benefits. The project included construction of a new substation and nearly two miles of transmission lines along with upgrades to existing infrastructure.
      • E-MS selected several resources from its 2022 renewable RFP, which should allow for procurement of at least 500 megawatts of capacity. Additional information will be provided once definitive agreements are reached.
      • The MPSC approved E-MS's FRP settlement.
      • E-TX filed a settlement agreement for its base rate case proceeding.
      • E-AR, E-LA, and E-NO each submitted their annual FRP filings.
      • The Texas legislative session, which ended in late May, included legislation important to utilities in the state, including the Texas Resiliency Act, which allows utilities to submit resiliency plans and defines cost recovery options for the plan investment.
      • Entergy was named by Forbes as one of America's Best Employers for Diversity for 2023.
      • For the eighth consecutive year, Entergy was named to The Civic 50, a Points of Light initiative honoring the 50 most community-minded companies in the U.S.

      Consolidated results

      For second quarter 2023, the company reported earnings of $391 million, or $1.84 per share, on an
      as-reported and an adjusted basis. This compared to second quarter 2022 earnings of $160 million, or 78 cents per share, on an as-reported basis, and earnings of $364 million, or $1.78 per share, on an adjusted basis.

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

      Business segment results

      Utility

      For second quarter 2023, the Utility business reported earnings attributable to Entergy Corporation of $514 million, or $2.42 per share, on an as-reported and an adjusted basis. This compared to second quarter 2022 earnings of $153 million, or 75 cents per share, on an as-reported basis and $444 million, or $2.17 per share, on an adjusted basis. There were several drivers for the quarter's results.

      Second quarter 2022 results included a regulatory charge that SERI recorded 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 (this item was considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings).

      Also in second quarter 2022, 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:

      • carrying costs on storm expenditures not previously recorded (the equity portion related to prior years was 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 an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings), and
      • amounts reserved to share benefits of securitization with customers (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings).

      Other drivers for the quarter included:

      • the effect of regulatory actions,
      • lower other O&M, and
      • higher dividends on intercompany preferred investments (offset at Parent & Other and largely earnings neutral for consolidated results).

      The drivers were partially offset by:

      • lower retail sales volume due to the impacts of weather,
      • higher operating expenses including depreciation and amortization expense and taxes other than income taxes, and
      • higher interest expense.

      On a per share basis, second quarter 2023 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 2023, Parent & Other reported a loss attributable to Entergy Corporation of
      $(123 million), or (58) cents per share, on an as-reported and an adjusted basis. This compared to second quarter 2022 earnings of $7 million, or 3 cents per share, on an as-reported basis and a loss of $(80 million), or (39) cents per share, on an adjusted basis.

      In 2022, the wind down of EWC was completed and that business is no longer a reportable segment. Starting in 2023, the remaining activity from EWC is included in Parent & Other. For comparability, EWC's 2022 results are also included in Parent & Other.

      EWC's 2022 results were largely driven by Palisades, which was shut down and sold in second quarter 2022. Financial results included revenue and operating expenses from Palisades until the plant was shut down in May 2022 and decommissioning expense and earnings on the nuclear decommissioning trust until the plant was sold in June 2022. Second quarter 2022 results also included a gain that resulted from the sale of Palisades. In second quarter 2022, EWC reported as-reported earnings per share of $0.42.

      Higher dividends on intercompany preferred investments (offset at Utility and largely earnings neutral for consolidated results) was also a driver for the quarter.

      On a per share basis, second quarter 2023 results reflected higher diluted average number of common shares outstanding.

      Earnings per share guidance

      Entergy affirms its 2023 adjusted EPS guidance range of $6.55 to $6.85. See webcast presentation for additional details.

      The company has provided 2023 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 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. Potential adjustments include the exclusion of regulatory charges related to outstanding regulatory complaints and significant income tax items.

      Earnings teleconference

      A teleconference will be held at 10:00 a.m. Central Time on Wednesday, August 2, 2023, to discuss Entergy's quarterly earnings announcement and the company's financial performance. The teleconference may be accessed by visiting Entergy's website at www.entergy.com or by dialing

We're investing in the reliability and resilience of the energy system while helping our region transition to cleaner, more efficient energy solutions. With roots in our communities for more than 100 years, Entergy is a nationally recognized leader in sustainability and corporate citizenship. Since 2018, we have delivered more than $100 million in economic benefits each year to local communities through philanthropy, volunteerism, and advocacy. Entergy is headquartered in New Orleans, Louisiana, and has approximately 12,000 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/investors.

      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 Entergy 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 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 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; and FFO to debt, excluding securitization debt, 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" exclude the effect of adjustments as defined above. 

      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.

      In 2022, the wind down of EWC was completed and that business is no longer a reportable segment. Starting in 2023, the remaining activity from EWC is included in Parent & Other "All other." EWC 2022 results were largely attributable to Palisades nuclear plant, which was shut down and sold in second quarter 2022. Financial results in 2022 included revenue and operating expenses from Palisades until the plant was shut down in May 2022, and decommissioning expense and earnings on the decommissioning trust until the plant was sold in June 2022. Second quarter 2022 results also included a gain of $166 million ($130 million after tax) as a result of the sale of Palisades.

      The second quarter and year-to-date variances included several items from second quarter 2022. SERI recorded a $551 million ($413 million after-tax) regulatory charge 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). Also in second quarter 2022, as a result of receiving approvals for storm cost recovery and issuance of securitized debt at E-LA and E-TX, the companies recorded several items. E-LA and
      E-TX recorded provisions totaling $59 million ($54 million after-tax) for the true up of the equity component of carrying charges on 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 ($165 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 (including riders), E-MS's FRP, E-NO's FRP, and E-TX's interim base rate increase. Volume / weather was also a driver primarily due weather. The variances also reflected a change in regulatory provisions for decommissioning items (the difference between expense and decommissioning trust earnings plus costs collected in revenue is largely earnings neutral). The year-to-date variance also reflected items resulting from securitization approvals. In the first quarter 2023, E-LA recorded a regulatory provision for $103 million ($76 million after tax) for sharing the benefits of E-LA's securitization with customers and $31 million ($31 million after tax) for the true-up of carrying charges on storm costs (both were considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings). 

      (h)

      The second quarter and year-to-date earnings increases from lower Utility other O&M included lower compensation and benefits costs primarily due to lower pension expense as well as a higher prescription plan refund; lower MISO costs (largely offset in revenues); and lower non-nuclear and nuclear generation expenses primarily due to a lower scope of work. Lower power delivery costs and a gain on sale also contributed. The recognition of a DOE award also contributed to the year-to-date increase and was partially offset by lower nuclear insurance refunds.

      (i)

      The second quarter and year-to-date earnings decreases from higher Utility taxes other than income taxes were due to higher ad valorem and franchise taxes. 

      (j)

      The second quarter and year-to-date earnings decreases from higher Utility depreciation/amortization expense were due primarily to higher plant in service and updated depreciation rates for E-TX effective in June 2023.

      (k)

      The second quarter and year-to-date earnings increases from higher Utility other income (deductions) reflected a few drivers. Higher intercompany dividend income related to the new intercompany investment in preferred stock resulting from E-LA's 2022 and 2023 securitizations compared to the previous affiliate preferred investment that was liquidated in 2022 (largely offset in P&O) contributed to the increases. In second quarter 2022, two items were recorded as a result of E-LA securitization: a $32 million charge was recorded to account for LURC's 1% beneficial interest in the trust established as part of E-LA's 2022 securitization (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings), and 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). Additionally, the increases were driven by changes in nuclear decommissioning trust returns (based on regulatory treatment, decommissioning-related variances are largely earnings neutral), and an increase in allowance for equity funds used during construction due to higher construction work in progress. The increases were partially offset by storm restoration carrying costs recorded in 2022 and an increase in non-service pension costs. The year-to-date increase was also partially offset by a $15 million charge ($15 million after tax) that was recorded to account for LURC's 1% beneficial interest in the trust established as part of E-LA's 2023 storm cost securitization (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings). 

      (l)

      The second quarter and year-to-date earnings decreases from lower Parent & Other other income (deductions) were due to changes in the new intercompany investment in preferred stock resulting from E-LA's 2022 and 2023 securitizations compared to the previous affiliate preferred investment that was liquidated (largely offset in Utility). This was partially offset by income recorded on legacy EWC pension plans and interest income. 

      (m)

      The second quarter and year-to-date earnings decreases from higher Utility interest expense were due primarily to higher debt balances. 

      (n)

      The second quarter and year-to-date earnings decreases from Utility income taxes-other 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). Other miscellaneous income tax items also contributed to the year-to-date decrease, partially offset by a $129 million income tax benefit recorded in first quarter 2023 related to storm cost securitization financing (this item was considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings). 

      (o)

      The second quarter and year-to-date earnings per share impacts from share effect were due to settlement of equity forward sales in November 2022 under the company's ATM program.

      (p)

      The year-to-date earnings decrease in Parent & Other interest expense was primarily due to higher interest rates on commercial paper, offset by lower interest on long-term debt balances and the redemption of a Parent note in July 2022.

      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, on a weather-adjusted basis retail sales decreased (0.9) percent. Residential sales were 0.3 percent higher and commercial sales decreased (1.3) percent. Industrial sales decreased (1.3) percent largely due to lower sales to cogen customers and lower sales to existing large industrial customers primarily in the chlor-alkali and petrochemicals industries. These industrial sales decreases were partially offset by higher sales to new and expansion customers primarily in the industrial gases, primary metals, and petrochemicals industries and higher sales to small industrial customers.
