As discussed in more detail in Note 1 to the financial statements, operating results for 2014 include $154 million ($100 million after-tax) of charges related to Vermont Yankee primarily resulting from the effects of an updated decommissioning cost study completed in the third quarter 2014 along with reassessment of assumptions regarding the timing of decommissioning cash flows and severance and employee retention costs. Results of operations for 2014 also include the $56.2 million ($36.7 million after-tax) write-off of Entergy Mississippi’s regulatory asset associated with new nuclear generation development costs as a result of a joint stipulation entered into with the Mississippi Public Utilities Staff, subsequently approved by the MPSC, in which Entergy Mississippi agreed not to pursue recovery of the costs deferred by an MPSC order in the new nuclear generation docket. See Note 2 to the financial statements for further discussion of the new nuclear generation development costs and the joint stipulation.

Results of operations for 2013 include $322 million ($202 million after-tax) of impairment and other related charges primarily to write down the carrying value of Vermont Yankee and related assets to their fair values. See Note 1 to the financial statements for further discussion of the charges. Also, as discussed in more detail in Note 13 to the financial statements, operating results include approximately $110 million ($70 million after-tax) in costs in 2013 associated with the human capital management strategic imperative, primarily implementation costs, severance expenses, pension curtailment losses, and special termination benefits expense. In December 2013, Entergy deferred for future recovery approximately $45 million ($30 million after-tax) of these costs in the Arkansas and Louisiana jurisdictions, as approved by the APSC and the LPSC, respectively.

The business of the Utility operating companies is subject to seasonal fluctuations with the peak periods occurring during the third quarter.  Operating results for the Registrant Subsidiaries for the four quarters of 2014 and 2013 were:

As discussed in more detail in Note 1 to the financial statements, operating results for 2014 include $154 million ($100 million after-tax) of charges related to Vermont Yankee primarily resulting from the effects of an updated decommissioning cost study completed in the third quarter 2014 along with reassessment of assumptions regarding the timing of decommissioning cash flows and severance and employee retention costs. Results of operations for 2014 also include the $56.2 million ($36.7 million after-tax) write-off of Entergy Mississippi’s regulatory asset associated with new nuclear generation development costs as a result of a joint stipulation entered into with the Mississippi Public Utilities Staff, subsequently approved by the MPSC, in which Entergy Mississippi agreed not to pursue recovery of the costs deferred by an MPSC order in the new nuclear generation docket. See Note 2 to the financial statements for further discussion of the new nuclear generation development costs and the joint stipulation.

Results of operations for 2013 include $322 million ($202 million after-tax) of impairment and other related charges primarily to write down the carrying value of Vermont Yankee and related assets to their fair values. See Note 1 to the financial statements for further discussion of the charges. Also, as discussed in more detail in Note 13 to the financial statements, operating results include approximately $110 million ($70 million after-tax) in costs in 2013 associated with the human capital management strategic imperative, primarily implementation costs, severance expenses, pension curtailment losses, and special termination benefits expense. In December 2013, Entergy deferred for future recovery approximately $45 million ($30 million after-tax) of these costs in the Arkansas and Louisiana jurisdictions, as approved by the APSC and the LPSC, respectively.

The business of the Utility operating companies is subject to seasonal fluctuations with the peak periods occurring during the third quarter.  Operating results for the Registrant Subsidiaries for the four quarters of 2014 and 2013 were:

As discussed in more detail in Note 1 to the financial statements, operating results for 2014 include $154 million ($100 million after-tax) of charges related to Vermont Yankee primarily resulting from the effects of an updated decommissioning cost study completed in the third quarter 2014 along with reassessment of assumptions regarding the timing of decommissioning cash flows and severance and employee retention costs. Results of operations for 2014 also include the $56.2 million ($36.7 million after-tax) write-off of Entergy Mississippi’s regulatory asset associated with new nuclear generation development costs as a result of a joint stipulation entered into with the Mississippi Public Utilities Staff, subsequently approved by the MPSC, in which Entergy Mississippi agreed not to pursue recovery of the costs deferred by an MPSC order in the new nuclear generation docket. See Note 2 to the financial statements for further discussion of the new nuclear generation development costs and the joint stipulation.

Results of operations for 2013 include $322 million ($202 million after-tax) of impairment and other related charges primarily to write down the carrying value of Vermont Yankee and related assets to their fair values. See Note 1 to the financial statements for further discussion of the charges. Also, as discussed in more detail in Note 13 to the financial statements, operating results include approximately $110 million ($70 million after-tax) in costs in 2013 associated with the human capital management strategic imperative, primarily implementation costs, severance expenses, pension curtailment losses, and special termination benefits expense. In December 2013, Entergy deferred for future recovery approximately $45 million ($30 million after-tax) of these costs in the Arkansas and Louisiana jurisdictions, as approved by the APSC and the LPSC, respectively.

The business of the Utility operating companies is subject to seasonal fluctuations with the peak periods occurring during the third quarter.  Operating results for the Registrant Subsidiaries for the four quarters of 2014 and 2013 were:

As discussed in more detail in Note 1 to the financial statements, operating results for 2014 include $154 million ($100 million after-tax) of charges related to Vermont Yankee primarily resulting from the effects of an updated decommissioning cost study completed in the third quarter 2014 along with reassessment of assumptions regarding the timing of decommissioning cash flows and severance and employee retention costs. Results of operations for 2014 also include the $56.2 million ($36.7 million after-tax) write-off of Entergy Mississippi’s regulatory asset associated with new nuclear generation development costs as a result of a joint stipulation entered into with the Mississippi Public Utilities Staff, subsequently approved by the MPSC, in which Entergy Mississippi agreed not to pursue recovery of the costs deferred by an MPSC order in the new nuclear generation docket. See Note 2 to the financial statements for further discussion of the new nuclear generation development costs and the joint stipulation.

Results of operations for 2013 include $322 million ($202 million after-tax) of impairment and other related charges primarily to write down the carrying value of Vermont Yankee and related assets to their fair values. See Note 1 to the financial statements for further discussion of the charges. Also, as discussed in more detail in Note 13 to the financial statements, operating results include approximately $110 million ($70 million after-tax) in costs in 2013 associated with the human capital management strategic imperative, primarily implementation costs, severance expenses, pension curtailment losses, and special termination benefits expense. In December 2013, Entergy deferred for future recovery approximately $45 million ($30 million after-tax) of these costs in the Arkansas and Louisiana jurisdictions, as approved by the APSC and the LPSC, respectively.

The business of the Utility operating companies is subject to seasonal fluctuations with the peak periods occurring during the third quarter.  Operating results for the Registrant Subsidiaries for the four quarters of 2014 and 2013 were:
