Consolidated results
For fourth quarter 2022, the company reported earnings of $106 million, or 51 cents per share, on an as-reported basis, and earnings of $107 million, or 51 cents per share, on an adjusted basis. This compared to fourth quarter 2021 earnings of $259 million, or $1.28 per share, on an as-reported basis, and earnings of $155 million, or 76 cents per share, on an adjusted basis.
For full year 2022, the company reported earnings of $1,103 million, or $5.37 per share, on an as-reported basis, and earnings of $1,320 million, or $6.42 per share, on an adjusted basis. This compared to 2021 earnings of $1,118 million, or $5.54 per share, on an as-reported basis, and earnings of $1,215 million, or $6.02 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 quarterly and full year variances by business is provided in Appendix B.
Business segment results
Utility
For full year 2022, the Utility business reported earnings attributable to Entergy Corporation of $1,407 million, or $6.84 per share, on an as-reported basis, and earnings of $1,686 million, or $8.20 per share, on an adjusted basis. This compared to full year 2021 earnings of $1,490 million, or $7.38 per share, on an as-reported basis, and earnings of $1,464 million, or $7.25 per share, on an adjusted basis. There were several drivers for the year’s results.

2022 results include a regulatory charge of $(551 million) ($(413 million) after tax) 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 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 of carrying costs 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),

    (more)    

Entergy reports 2022 financial results

Page 3        

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 year included:
the net effect of regulatory actions across the operating companies;
higher retail sales volume including the impacts of weather;
various regulatory provisions;
higher operating expenses including other O&M, depreciation expense, and taxes other than income taxes;
higher income from intercompany preferred investments (offset at P&O and largely earnings neutral for the consolidated result);
higher interest expense; and
higher effective income tax rate.

On a per share basis, 2022 results reflected higher diluted average number of common shares outstanding.
Appendix C contains additional details on Utility operating and financial measures.
Parent & Other
For full year 2022, Parent & Other reported a loss attributable to Entergy Corporation of $(366 million), or $(1.78) per share, on an as-reported and an adjusted basis. This compared to a full year 2021 loss of $(249 million), or $(1.23) per share, on an as-reported basis, and a loss of $(248 million), or $(1.23) per share, on an adjusted basis.

Drivers for the full year included higher interest on intercompany preferred investments (offset at Utility and largely earnings neutral for the consolidated result), an increase in charitable contributions, and higher interest expense.

On a per share basis, 2022 results reflected higher diluted average number of common shares outstanding.
Entergy Wholesale Commodities
For full year 2022, EWC reported earnings attributable to Entergy Corporation of $63 million, or 31 cents per share, on an as-reported basis. This compared to full year 2021 loss attributable to Entergy Corporation of $(123 million), or (61) cents per share, on an as-reported basis. The primary drivers for the year were due to the shutdown and sale of EWC’s nuclear plants.

Specific variances included lower asset write-offs and impairments, and lower operating expenses including other O&M, decommissioning expense, depreciation expense, and nuclear refueling outage expense. These drivers were partially offset by lower revenue, lower earnings on NDTs, and income tax items.

Appendix D contains additional details on EWC operating and financial measures, including reconciliation for non-GAAP EWC adjusted EBITDA.
Earnings per share guidance
Entergy initiated 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 Entergy adjusted EPS. 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 positions.

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 F.
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.” In 2022, that included the removal of the Entergy Wholesale Commodities segment in light of the company’s exit from the merchant power business. Beginning in 2023, as a result of the successful exit from the merchant power business, Entergy Wholesale Commodities will no longer be a reportable segment and any remaining financial activity from that business will no longer be adjusted in its entirety from Entergy’s results (individual items could be considered for adjustment if they meet the criteria). 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 the results of the EWC segment, 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

    (more)    

Entergy reports 2022 financial results

Page 5        

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 EBITDA; 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; FFO to debt, excluding securitization debt; and FFO to debt, excluding securitization debt, return of unprotected excess ADIT, and severance and retention payments associated with exit of EWC, 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” (other than EWC’s adjusted EBITDA) exclude the effect of adjustments as defined above. EWC’s adjusted EBITDA represents EWC’s earnings before interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization, and also excludes decommissioning expense.
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.
Cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements

OCF increased quarter-over-quarter due primarily to:
higher receipts from Utility customers,
lower non-capital storm restoration spending,
receipt of E-NO’s storm securitization proceeds, and
lower income tax payments (variances from income tax payments differ by business).

The increase was partially offset by:
higher pension contributions,
higher fuel and purchased power payments at the Utility,
higher other O&M at the Utility, and
the shutdown of EWC nuclear plants.

Cash flow from affiliate preferred investment dividend activity contributed to the Utility and Parent & Other variances but was neutral for the consolidated result.

(f)The fourth quarter and full year earnings increases were driven by regulatory actions including E-AR’s FRP; E-LA’s FRP (including riders); E-MS’s FRP and various riders; E-NO’s FRP; and E-TX’s TCRF and DCRF. The increases also reflected higher volume, including the effects of weather. Other drivers included: changes in regulatory provisions for decommissioning items (the difference between expense and trust earnings plus costs collected in revenue, largely earnings neutral), higher Grand Gulf revenue, and higher volume for the natural gas distribution business. The full year variance also reflected various regulatory provisions and regulatory reserves (detailed in the table to the right), including the second quarter 2022 $551 million ($413 million after-tax) regulatory charge recorded by SERI to reflect the effects of a partial settlement agreement and offer of settlement related to proceedings pending before the FERC (this item was considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings), E-LA’s $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), the regulatory provision for the true-up of E-LA and E-TX cost of debt from 2020 storms, and $59 million in revenues ($54 million after-tax) for the equity component of carrying charges on those storm costs ($46 million ($42 million after-tax) associated with prior years was considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings).
(g)The fourth quarter and full year earnings decreases included lower revenues from the shutdown of Palisades in May 2022. The full year decrease also reflected the shutdown of Indian Point 3 in April 2021, as well as lower realized wholesale energy price and volume.
(h)The fourth quarter and full year earnings decreases from higher Utility other O&M were primarily due to higher power delivery expenses, including vegetation management, reliability, and safety and training costs; higher nuclear generation spending due to higher scope of work and higher labor costs; an increase in non-nuclear generation expenses primarily due to higher costs associated with materials and supplies; higher customer service center support costs; higher bad debt expense; and higher energy efficiency expenses. Also contributing to the full year decrease was a $15 million pretax gain on the sale of an asset in the third quarter 2021 (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings).
(i)The fourth quarter and full year earnings increases from lower EWC other O&M were due to the shutdown of Palisades in May 2022. The full year increase also reflected the shutdown of Indian Point 3 in April 2021 and lower severance and retention costs.
(j)The fourth quarter earnings decrease from higher EWC asset write-offs and impairments was due primarily to a gain from the settlement of spent fuel litigation at Indian Point recorded in fourth quarter 2021. The full year earnings increase from

13


lower EWC asset write-offs and impairments also reflected the $340 million ($268 million net-of-tax) loss from the sale of Indian Point in May 2021 and a $165 million ($129 million net-of-tax) gain from the sale of Palisades in June 2022.
(k)The fourth quarter and full year earnings increases from lower EWC decommissioning expense were due to the sale of Palisades in June 2022. The full year increase also reflected the sale of Indian Point in May 2021.
(l)The fourth quarter and full year earnings decreases from higher Utility taxes other than income taxes were due to higher ad valorem taxes and franchise taxes. The full year decrease also reflected higher employment taxes.
(m)The fourth quarter and full year earnings decreases from higher Utility depreciation/amortization expense were due primarily to higher plant in service and updated depreciation rates for Grand Gulf, effective March 1, 2022. This was partially offset by an adjustment to SERI’s depreciation expense that resulted from FERC’s December 2022 order on the sale-leaseback complaint (considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings).
(n)The fourth quarter and full year earnings decreases from lower Utility other income (deductions)–other included differences in NDT returns (based on regulatory treatment, decommissioning-related variances are largely earnings neutral, as described in footnote f), partially offset by higher intercompany dividend income related to the new intercompany investment in preferred stock resulting from E-LA’s securitization compared to the previous affiliate preferred investment that was liquidated (largely offset in P&O). The full year decrease also reflected two items recorded in second quarter 2022 as a result of E-LA securitization: a $32 million reduction to interest and investment income (loss) was recorded to account for LURC’s 1% beneficial interest in the trust established as part of the 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). Recognition of carrying charges on storm restoration costs also contributed to the full year decrease.
(o)The fourth quarter and full year earnings decreases from lower Parent & Other other income (deductions)–other were due to the timing of charitable contributions and higher interest related to the intercompany investment in preferred stock resulting from E-LA’s securitization compared to the previous affiliate preferred investment that was liquidated (largely offset in Utility).
(p)The fourth quarter and full year earnings decrease from higher Utility interest expense and other charges was due primarily to higher debt balances.
(q)The fourth quarter earnings decrease from Utility income taxes-other reflected several items. In fourth quarter 2021, the company recorded: a $29 million decrease in income tax expense as result of the enactment of Louisiana and Arkansas corporate income tax rate changes, an $8 million valuation allowance as a result of incurring storm restoration costs which impaired the realizability of certain net operating loss carryovers, and a $5 million provision for an uncertain tax position associated with state tax matters (the portion of these three items that related to prior years was considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings). In fourth quarter 2022, a $13 million increase in income tax expense was recorded as a result of FERC’s sale-leaseback order (this item was considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings). Additionally, amortization of protected excess ADIT was higher in fourth quarter 2021 as a result of storm damage, and other miscellaneous adjustments of $(6 million) were recorded in fourth quarter 2022 compared to $10 million in fourth quarter 2021. The full year as-reported earnings increase also reflected a second quarter 2022 $283 million income tax benefit related to securitization financing (this item was considered an adjustment and excluded from adjusted earnings).
(r)The fourth quarter and full year earnings decreases from EWC income taxes-other were due to a fourth quarter 2022 $9 million valuation allowance recorded on certain charitable contribution carryforwards. The full year decrease also reflected an accrual of an uncertain tax position as a result of a state tax audit in the third quarter 2022.
(s)The full year earnings increase from lower EWC nuclear refueling outage expense was due to the shutdown of Palisades in May 2022.
(t)The full year earnings increase from lower EWC depreciation/amortization expense was due to the shutdown of Indian Point 3 in April 2021 and Palisades in May 2022.
(u)The full year earnings decrease from lower EWC other income (deductions)–other was due largely to the absence of earnings from NDTs that were transferred in the sale of Indian Point and the performance of Palisades NDTs.
(v)The full year earnings decrease from higher Parent & Other interest expense and other charges was due primarily to higher interest rates and lower intercompany guarantee activity.
(w)The full year earnings per share impacts from share effect were due to settlement of equity forward sales in November 2022 under the company’s ATM program.

(x)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.

On a weather-adjusted basis for fourth quarter 2022, retail sales increased 0.3 percent. Residential sales were (2.6) percent lower and commercial sales increased 2.4 percent. Industrial sales increased 1.1 percent due to continued growth from new/expansion customers and lower sales in 2021 as a result of Hurricane Ida, partially offset by facility shutdowns and outages.

On a weather-adjusted basis for full year 2022, retail sales increased 3.4 percent. Residential sales were (0.2) percent lower and commercial sales increased 4.6 percent. Industrial sales volume increased 5.3 percent reflecting an increase in demand from new/expansion projects (primarily in the chemicals, transportation, and paper industries), higher demand from cogeneration customers, and lower sales in 2021 as a result of Hurricane Ida.
