(c) 

Utility operating revenue / regulatory charges, Utility other O&M, and Utility income taxes-other exclude $16 million, $- million, and $16 million respectively in third quarter 2020 and $93 million, $3 million, and $96 million respectively in third quarter 2019 for the return of unprotected excess ADIT to customers (net effect is neutral to earnings). On a year-to-date basis, Utility operating revenue / regulatory charges, Utility other O&M, and Utility income taxes-other exclude $61 million, $- million, and $61 million respectively in 2020 and $216 million, $3 million, and $219 million respectively in 2019 (net effect is neutral to earnings).

(d) 

EPS effect is calculated by multiplying the pre-tax amount 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.

(e) 

The third quarter and year-to-date earnings increases were primarily driven by E-AR's FRP; E-LA's FRP, including recovery of the LCPS; E-MS's FRP, vegetation rider, and recovery of Choctaw; and E-TX's TCRF. Partially offsetting was volume/weather, including the effects of COVID-19 and Hurricane Laura as well as E-NO's rate case. The year-to date variance also reflected recovery of the J. Wayne Leonard Power Station, a first quarter 2019 regulatory reserve at E-AR, and a regulatory liability for tax sharing with E-LA customers (this partially offsets the Hurricane Isaac Act 55 income tax item discussed in footnote r).

(f) 

The third quarter and year-to-date earnings decreases were due largely to lower revenues from the shutdown of Indian Point 2 in April 2020. The year-to-date variance also reflected lower revenues from the shutdown of Pilgrim in May 2019 and lower capacity and energy prices, partially offset by higher energy volume in the remaining EWC nuclear fleet.

(g) 

The third quarter and year-to-date earnings increases from lower Utility other O&M were due primarily to a decrease in loss provisions, lower contract costs related to new customer initiatives, and lower non-nuclear generation expenses related to long-term service agreements and the timing and scope of outages, including a delay in planned outages as a result of COVID-19. These were partially offset by higher compensation and benefits costs, primarily pension. The year-to-date variance also reflected lower nuclear generation expenses, higher nuclear insurance refunds, and higher E-MS storm damage provisions (offset in operating revenue).

(h) 

The third quarter and year-to-date earnings increases from lower EWC other O&M were due largely to the shutdown of Indian Point 2 in April 2020. The year-to-date variance also reflected the shutdown of Pilgrim in May 2019, as well as a decrease in severance and retention expense.

(i)

The third quarter and year-to-date earnings increases from lower EWC asset write-offs and impairments were due primarily to a $191 million loss (pre-tax) on the sale of Pilgrim in third quarter 2019. The year-to-date variance also reflected higher impairment charges in first quarter 2019, largely refueling outage costs at Indian Point.

(j) 

The third quarter and year-to-date earnings decreases from higher Utility depreciation expense were due primarily to higher plant in service, including the LCPS and Choctaw. The year-to-date variance also reflected the J. Wayne Leonard Power Station being placed in service in second quarter 2019, as well as higher depreciation rates at E-MS.

(k) 

The third quarter and year-to-date earnings increases from lower EWC depreciation expense were due primarily to the shutdown of Indian Point 2 in April 2020. The year-to-date variance also reflected the shutdown of Pilgrim in May 2019.

(l) 

The third quarter and year-to-date earnings decreases from lower Utility other income (deductions)–other were due largely to changes in decommissioning trust fund activity (based on regulatory treatment, decommissioning-related variances are largely earnings neutral). Lower AFUDC as a result of higher construction work in progress in 2019 also contributed.

(m) 

The third quarter earnings increase from higher EWC other income (deductions)–other was due largely to higher gains on decommissioning trust fund investments in 2020 as compared to 2019, as well as a $16 million pension settlement charge in third quarter 2019 related to the exit of the EWC business. The year-to-date earnings decrease was due largely to performance of nuclear decommissioning trust fund investments in 2020 as compared to 2019.

(n) 

 The third quarter and year-to-date earnings decreases from higher Utility interest expense were due primarily to higher debt balances at E-LA, E-TX, and E-MS. The year-to-date variance also reflected a higher debt balance at E-AR.

(o) 

The year-to-date earnings increase from lower EWC decommissioning expense was due to the sale of Pilgrim in 2019.

(p) 

The year-to-date earnings decrease from higher Utility taxes other than income taxes was due primarily to an increase in ad valorem taxes at E-LA.

(q) 

The year-to-date earnings increase from Parent & Other other income (deductions)–other was due primarily to intercompany interest.

(r)

The year-to-date earnings increase from Utility effective income tax rate reflected two first quarter 2020 items. A $55 million tax benefit was recorded as a result of an IRS settlement related to Act 55 financing of Hurricane Isaac costs (partly offset by customer sharing, recorded as a regulatory charge discussed in footnote e). In addition, an annual tax deduction related to stock-based compensation resulted in an income tax benefit of $22 million, $20 million greater than first quarter 2019.

(s) 

The year-to-date earnings decrease from Parent & Other effective income tax rate was due to an increase in income tax expense of $23 million as a result of the IRS settlement related to the Hurricane Isaac Act 55 financing (discussed in footnote r).

(t) 

The year-to-date earnings increase from EWC effective income tax rate is primarily due to a first quarter 2019 accrual of $29 million of tax expense, which resulted from the sale of Vermont Yankee in January 2019.

(u) 

The earnings per share impacts from share effect were due to settlement of the equity forward (8.4 million shares settled in May 2019).

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.
