Entergy Reports Third Quarter Results
Strategic execution marks quarterly results

NEW ORLEANS - Entergy Corporation (NYSE: ETR) reported a third quarter 2015 as-reported loss of $4.04 per share, including $5.93 per share of non-cash asset impairments for Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station and James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant. Entergy recently announced plans to close Pilgrim and today announced the closing of FitzPatrick. On an operational basis, earnings were $1.90 per share in third quarter 2015. These results compare to third quarter 2014 as-reported earnings of $1.27 per share and operational earnings of $1.68 per share.

“This year we have intensified our focus on executing on the strategy we put in place last year, and the results are becoming evident,” said Entergy chairman and chief executive officer Leo Denault. “Through our accomplishments in the Utility, we continue to strive to meet and exceed our regulators’ and customers’ expectations; and strategic decisions regarding the future of the Entergy Wholesale Commodities’ fleet set us up to deliver long-term value. Our progress enables us to provide improved returns to our owners, safe operations and reliable service to our customers, a rewarding place to work for our employees and sustainable economic benefits to our communities. We thank our stakeholders for their continued support and look forward to continued growth.

“While taking these actions are in the long-term best interest of our stakeholders, in the near-term, these decisions to close nuclear plants are very difficult to make knowing the effect they have on all of our four key stakeholder groups - employees, communities, customers and owners.”

Additional business highlights included the following:
Entergy Gulf States Louisiana, L.L.C. and Entergy Louisiana, LLC became one company on Oct. 1st, now referred to as Entergy Louisiana, LLC.





Entergy Wholesale Commodities entered into an agreement to sell its Rhode Island State Energy Center power plant.
Entergy Corporation was named to the Dow Jones Sustainability North America Index, one of four electric utility companies designated a sustainability leader on the index.

Business Unit Results

In addition to the summary business unit discussions below and results provided in Appendix A, a comprehensive analysis of quarterly and year-to-date variances is provided in Appendix B to this release. Appendix A also provides information on operating cash flow by business.

Utility, Parent & Other Results

In third quarter 2015, Utility, Parent and Other earnings were $1.72 per share on an as-reported and an operational basis. In comparison, third quarter 2014 as-reported and operational EPS was $1.45. Operational results reflected the effects of productive investments and favorable weather, as well as higher operating expenses. Also contributing to the quarter-over-quarter increase was a regulatory charge recorded in third quarter 2014.

Billed retail sales volume increased quarter-to-quarter on the effects of weather and retail sales growth. On a weather-adjusted basis, billed volume increased 1.8 percent; the components of the sales growth were:
Weather-adjusted residential sales decline of (0.1) percent,





Commercial sales increase of 1.2 percent on a weather-adjusted basis,
Weather-adjusted governmental sales increase of 4.9 percent and
Industrial sales increase of 4.0 percent.

Industrial sales growth reflected new and expansion projects that continued to ramp up and come into service, as well as growth from existing customers. Petroleum refineries ran at high utilization levels after their extended spring outages in second quarter 2015.

On a revenue basis, volume was primarily driven by weather. Weather reflected a significantly warmer-than-normal summer in third quarter 2015, compared to a cooler-than-normal season last year. Higher Utility net revenue also included rate adjustments for the Ninemile Point Unit 6 plant that went in service at the end of 2014 and the Entergy Mississippi, Inc. rate case, and increased industrial usage. The earnings effect from these rate adjustments was largely offset by changes in other line items (e.g., non-fuel operation and maintenance and depreciation expenses). Increased regulatory compliance at Arkansas Nuclear One and higher distribution reliability spending were also reflected in the higher non-fuel O&M.

For additional details on Utility’s performance for the quarter, see Appendix C.

Entergy Wholesale Commodities Results

EWC operational adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization were $129 million in third quarter 2015, compared to $165 million in the same period a year ago. The decrease in operational adjusted EBITDA was driven largely by lower nuclear energy and capacity prices.

EWC reported an as-reported loss of $5.76 per share compared to a third quarter 2014 as-reported loss of 18 cents per share. Third quarter 2015 as-reported results included non-cash asset impairments for Pilgrim and FitzPatrick totaling approximately $1.6 billion on a pre-tax basis and approximately $1.1 billion after-tax. Under generally accepted accounting principles, long-





lived assets are typically accounted for on a historical cost basis unless a triggering event occurs which requires an impairment evaluation. Both plants experienced a triggering event in the quarter. Applying the accounting rules after these events led to the charges. The impairments were classified as a special item and therefore, excluded from operational results.

Third quarter 2015 EWC operational earnings were 18 cents per share, compared to 23 cents per share in the third quarter 2014. This decline was driven by lower nuclear capacity and energy pricing partially offset by the closure of VY at the end of last year. VY incurred a net operational loss in the third quarter of 2014.

For additional details on EWC’s performance for the quarter, see Appendix D and webcast presentation slides.

Earnings Guidance

Entergy updated its 2015 operational earnings guidance to be $5.50 to $6.10 per share. Current expectations are around $6.00 per share. The updated guidance range reflects year-to-date weather and updated expectations for tax benefits at Utility, Parent and Other as well as lower fuel, refueling outage and depreciation and amortization expenses at EWC resulting from the Pilgrim and FitzPatrick impairments. See webcast presentation slides for additional details.

The primary drivers of the $352 million quarter-over-quarter decrease were the receipt of Isaac-related securitization funds in third quarter 2014 and lower EWC net revenue.







Appendix A-3 and Appendix A-4 list special items by business. Amounts are shown on both an EPS basis and a net income basis. Special items are those events that are not routine. Special items are included in as-reported EPS consistent with GAAP, but are excluded from operational EPS. As a result, operational EPS is considered a non-GAAP measure.

(a)
The current quarter and year to date increases were due to the third quarter 2014 charge associated with the EMI rate case settlement ($60.9 million pre-tax, $40.5 million after-tax).
(b)
The as-reported current quarter and year-to date decreases were primarily due to non-cash impairment charges and related write-offs in the current quarter for the Pilgrim and FitzPatrick plants totaling $(5.93)/share. Partially offsetting this decrease was a third quarter 2014 charge for an updated VY decommissioning cost study.

(c)
The current quarter and year-to date increases were due to favorable weather, an increase in industrial usage and pricing. The price variance included the Louisiana FRP rate adjustments for placing Ninemile 6 in rates and the EMI rate case. Year-to-date included higher volume from all classes.
(d)
The current quarter and year-to-date decreases were due to the retirement of VY at the end of 2014 along with lower realized nuclear capacity and energy pricing. Also contributing to the decreases in the year-to-date period was the negative net effect of mark-to-market activity in the current period compared to a positive contribution in the comparable period a year ago. Fewer refueling outage days provided a partial offset in both periods.
(e)
The current quarter and year-to-date decreases were due primarily to additions to plant (including Ninemile Unit 6 placed in service in December 2014) as well as higher depreciation rates implemented at EMI for 2015 (as approved by the MPSC).
(f)
The current quarter decrease was due partly to lower decommissioning trust earnings (offset in net revenue), lower AFUDC equity and carrying charges recorded in 2014 on storm restoration costs related to Hurricane Isaac.
(g)
The current quarter and year-to-date decreases reflected regulatory compliance costs resulting from the NRC’s decision to move ANO into Column 4 of the reactor oversight process action matrix (approximately $21 million in





third quarter 2015 and approximately $38 million in the year-to-date period). Also higher were expenses for distribution reliability. Year-to-date includes higher other nuclear and fossil expenses. Other non-fuel O&M changes with offsets in net revenue in the current and year-to date periods included transmission costs allocated by MISO and energy efficiency program costs.
(h)
The current quarter and year-to-date increases were attributable to the closure of VY at the end of 2014. Excluding VY, year-over-year non-fuel O&M was higher due to higher refueling outage amortization and fewer refueling outage days resulting in the lower deferral of costs for future amortization.
(i)
The year-to-date decrease was due primarily to higher earnings on investments in affiliate preferred membership interests (offset in Utility).
(j)
The year-to-date increase was due primarily to higher realized gains on decommissioning trusts, including the rebalancing of VY's decommissioning trust portfolio in the current year.
(k)
The year-to-date increase was attributable to a first quarter 2015 adjustment of approximately $24 million involving the reversal of a portion of the provision for uncertain tax provisions related to interest accrual. Partially offsetting was a state income tax benefit of approximately $10 million resulting from Act 55 storm securitization in third quarter 2014.
(l)
The year-to-date decrease was primarily due to higher payroll taxes and ad valorem tax assessments.
(m)
The year-to-date increase was mainly attributable to the absence of VY depreciation.
(n)
The year-to-date decrease resulted from net debt issuances in fourth quarter 2014.

See webcast appendix for more details on the effects of the VY closure on EWC line item variances.

E: Financial Performance Measures
Appendix E provides comparative financial performance measures for the current quarter. Financial performance 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 are computed in accordance with GAAP as they include all components of net income, including special items. Operational measures are non-GAAP measures as they are calculated using operational net income, which excludes the impact of special items. A reconciliation of operational measures to as-reported measures is provided in Appendix G.

Exhibit 99.2

STATEMENT ON USES AND USEFULNESS OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Exhibit 99.1 to this Report on Form 8-K (the "Earnings 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 United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. Pursuant to the requirements of Regulation G, Entergy has provided quantitative reconciliations within the Earnings Release and the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Certain non-GAAP measures in the Earnings Release could differ from GAAP only in that the figure or ratio states or includes operational earnings per share. Operational earnings per share is presented for each of Entergy's reportable business segments as well as on a consolidated basis. Operational earnings per share is not calculated in accordance with GAAP because it excludes the effect of "special items." Special items reflect the effect on earnings of events that are less routine or are related to discontinued businesses. In addition, other financial measures including net income (or earnings), rolling 12 months adjusted for preferred dividends and tax effected interest expense; non-fuel operation and maintenance expenses; 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 certain metrics “excluding VY,” which metrics exclude the financial activity of the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant that ceased operations in 2014. Management believes that financial metrics calculated using operational earnings or excluding Vermont Yankee activity 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 energy sector.

Other non-GAAP measures, 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; FFO; and 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 cash availability to the cash availability of others in the energy sector.

The non-GAAP financial measures and other reported adjusted items in the Earnings 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 our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, could provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business.  Investors are strongly encouraged to review our 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.
