Businesses marked with * are sometimes referred to as the “competitive businesses.”  Eliminations are primarily intersegment activity. Almost all of Entergy’s goodwill is related to the Utility segment.

Registrant Subsidiaries

Each of the Registrant Subsidiaries has one reportable segment, which is an integrated utility business, except for System Energy, which is an electricity generation business.  Each of the Registrant Subsidiaries’ operations is managed on an integrated basis by that company because of the substantial effect of cost-based rates and regulatory oversight on the business process, cost structures, and operating results.
