Consolidated Results
For first quarter 2017, the company reported earnings of
46 cents per share on an as-reported
basis and EPS of 99 cents on an
operational basis, as compared to first quarter 2016 EPS of
$1.28 on an as-reported basis and
operational EPS of $1.35.
Additional details, including information on OCF by business,
are provided in Appendix A and a comprehensive analysis of
quarterly variances is provided in Appendix B.
Utility, Parent & Other Results
For first quarter 2017, Utility EPS were 92 cents on both an as-reported basis and an
operational basis. In first quarter 2016, Utility as-reported and
operational EPS were $1.09. The
current period results reflected the effects of new rate actions to
recover investments that benefit customers. However, the impacts of
higher operating expenses and weather led to the overall decline in
results.
Net revenue increased quarter-over-quarter, driven by regulatory
actions across the utility jurisdictions, including EAI's 2017 FRP
rate changes. Sales volume declined due to lower residential and
commercial sales across the service territory, including the
effects of weather.
Industrial sales growth was positive. Growth from new and
expanding customers was partly offset by lower sales to existing
customers, primarily in the refining segment. Sales to refiners
were down on customer outages, which were expected.
Utility non-fuel O&M increased quarter-over-quarter. First
quarter 2016 included a favorable deferral of previously-expensed
costs which resulted from EAI's rate case order. In 2017, fossil
spending was higher, primarily related to the acquisition of Union
in March of last year. Higher spending on nuclear operations was
largely offset by lower regulatory compliance costs at ANO.
In first quarter 2017, Parent & Other reported a loss of
(30) cents per share on both an
as-reported basis and an operational basis. In first quarter 2016,
Parent & Other reported an as-reported and operational loss of
(25) cents per share.
On a combined basis, Utility, Parent & Other EPS were
62 cents on an as-reported basis and
83 cents on an adjusted basis. In
first quarter 2016, Utility, Parent & Other as-reported EPS
were 84 cents and adjusted EPS were
95 cents. Adjusted earnings exclude
special items and the effects of weather and normalize income
taxes.
Appendix C contains additional details on Utility financial and
operational measures, including a schedule of Utility, Parent &
Other adjusted earnings and EPS.
Entergy Wholesale Commodities
Results
For first quarter 2017, EWC recorded a loss of (16) cents per share on an as-reported basis and
operational EPS of 37 cents. For the
comparable period in 2016, EWC earned 44
cents per share on an as-reported basis and operational EPS
of 51 cents.
The decrease in EWC's as-reported results was due largely to
impairments and other items recorded as a result of strategic
decisions for the wholesale business. Impairments were for fuel
purchases and refueling outage costs as well as capital spending.
First quarter 2017 as-reported results also included items which
resulted from the FitzPatrick transaction, including a gain on that
sale and an income tax benefit. All of these were considered
special items and excluded from operational earnings.
Excluding the items above, earnings from FitzPatrick's
operations declined. The plant was sold on March 31, 2017.
From the remaining plants, net revenue declined due to lower
power prices. This was partially offset by lower nuclear fuel
costs, which were affected by impairments. Non-fuel O&M
reflected lower refueling outage expense, which was also affected
by impairments. Decommissioning expense increased due primarily to
the transfer of Indian Point 3 liability from NYPA. This was
partially offset by an increase in other income, which was due to
earnings on decommissioning trusts.
Appendix D contains additional details on EWC financial and
operational measures, including a schedule of EWC operational
adjusted EBITDA calculations.
Earnings Guidance
Entergy affirmed its 2017 operational guidance in the range of
$4.75 to $5.35 per share and Utility,
Parent & Other adjusted EPS guidance range of $4.25 to $4.55. See webcast presentation slides
for additional details.
The company has provided 2017 earnings guidance with regard to
the non-GAAP measures of operational EPS and Utility, Parent &
Other adjusted EPS. These measures exclude from the corresponding
GAAP financial measures the effect of special items 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 reasonably estimate all
of the special items that may occur for the periods presented. The
company's current estimate for special items in 2017 relates to the
decisions to close or sell its merchant nuclear plants; those
anticipated special items are expected to decrease as-reported EPS
by approximately $2.10 per share.
Other special items may occur during the periods presented, the
impact of which cannot reasonably be estimated at this time.

For definitions of certain operational measures, as well as GAAP
and non-GAAP financial measures and abbreviations and acronyms used
in the earnings release materials, see Appendix F and Appendix
G.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This news 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 GAAP. Entergy has provided
quantitative reconciliations within this release and the
presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most
directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Certain non-GAAP measures in this news release could differ from
GAAP only in that the figure or ratio states or includes
operational earnings. Operational earnings are not calculated in
accordance with GAAP because they exclude the effect of "special
items." Special items are unusual or non-recurring items or events
or other items or events that management believes do not reflect
the ongoing business of Entergy, and may include items such as
impairment, gains or losses on asset sales, and other gains or
losses occurring as a result of strategic decisions such as
Entergy's recent decisions to shut down or sell its merchant
nuclear plants. Operational earnings per share are presented for
each of Entergy's reportable business segments as well as on a
consolidated basis. In addition, other financial measures including
net income (or earnings), adjusted for preferred dividends and tax
effected interest expense; operational net revenue; 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 Utility,
Parent & Other adjusted earnings and earnings per share, which
exclude from GAAP earnings the special items described above and
weather and normalizes tax expense for the periods presented.
Management believes that financial metrics calculated using
operational earnings or otherwise adjusted as described above 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 Utility sector.
Other non-GAAP measures, including 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; 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 credit and liquidity to the credit and liquidity of
others in the Utility sector.
The non-GAAP financial measures and other reported adjusted
items in this 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 Entergy's operations that,
when viewed with Entergy's GAAP results and the accompanying
reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, could
provide a more complete understanding of factors and trends
affecting Entergy's business. Investors are strongly encouraged to
review Entergy's 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.

OCF was relatively flat quarter-over-quarter. Reduced cash flow
from the timing of recovery for fuel and purchased power at the
Utility and lower net revenue at EWC (excluding revenue from the
FitzPatrick reimbursement agreement) were largely offset by cash
flow from income taxes and reduced spending on Vermont Yankee
decommissioning. Intercompany income tax payments also contributed
to the line of business variances.
Appendix A-3 and Appendix A-4 list special items by business.
Amounts are shown on both a net income basis and an EPS basis.
Special items are included in as-reported earnings consistent with
GAAP, but are excluded from operational earnings. As a result,
operational EPS is considered a non-GAAP measure.

EPS effect is
calculated by multiplying the pre-tax amount by the estimated
income tax rate that is expected to apply and then dividing by the
fully diluted average shares outstanding for the period; income
taxes – other represents income tax differences other than the tax
effect of individual line items.
|
(e)
|
The increase was
driven largely by realized earnings on decommissioning trust funds.
Approximately 5 cents, classified as special item, was from gains
on the receipt of nuclear decommissioning trust funds from NYPA in
January 2017.
|
(f)
|
The decrease was due
to an increase in impairments recorded for refueling outage costs,
nuclear fuel purchases and capital expenditures (classified as
special items and excluded from operational results).
|
(g)
|
The increase was due
to a gain on the sale of FitzPatrick (classified as a special item
and excluded from operational results).
|
(h)
|
The decrease was due
largely to additions to plant in service, including the Union Power
Station acquired in March 2016.
|
(i)
|
The decrease was due
to several drivers. In first quarter 2016, EAI recorded a deferral
for $18 million (pre-tax) for previously-expensed costs related to
post Fukushima and flood barrier compliance. Fossil spending was
higher for Union expenses (Union was acquired in March 2016) and
overall higher scope of work. Compensation and benefits expense
increased due partly to a revision to estimated incentive
compensation expense in first quarter 2016. Expense associated with
loss reserves also increased. Spending for nuclear operations was
higher, but was largely offset by lower spending associated with
regulatory compliance costs at ANO.
|
(j)
|
The as-reported
decrease reflected higher expenses related to the agreement to sell
FitzPatrick and other costs which resulted from decisions to close
or sell EWC's nuclear plants (classified as a special item and
excluded from operational results). Partially offsetting was lower
refueling outage expense, which was affected by
impairments.
|
(k)
|
The as-reported
increase resulted from the re-determination of FitzPatrick's tax
basis as a result of the sale of the plant (classified as a special
item and excluded from operational results).

|
The increase
reflected full-quarter effects from the first quarter 2016 EAI rate
case and rate actions associated with the Union acquisition (a
portion of those increases was for Union operating expenses) as
well as EAI's FRP rate increase in 2017. EMI's 2016 FRP and ETI's
TCRF rate changes also contributed. In addition, in first quarter
2016 EAI recorded a charge to reflect the estimated impact from a
FERC order on opportunity sales case. Partially offsetting was
lower volume, including the effects of weather.
|
(m)
|
The as-reported
increase included cost reimbursements from the buyer related to the
FitzPatrick sale (classified as special items and excluded from
operational results). Operational revenue from FitzPatrick was also
lower. Pricing for nuclear assets was also a factor in the decline.
Partially offsetting was lower fuel expense, which was affected by
impairments.
|
(n)
|
The decrease resulted
primarily from the establishment of decommissioning liabilities at
Indian Point 3 and FitzPatrick in August 2016 (resulted from
agreement with NYPA to transfer decommissioning liabilities and
associated trusts to Entergy). Revisions to the estimated
decommissioning cost liabilities for Indian Point and Palisades in
the fourth quarter 2016 also contributed to the
decrease.

E: Consolidated Financial Measures
Appendix E provides
comparative financial measures. Financial 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 in this table are computed in accordance
with GAAP as they include all components of net income, including
special items. Operational measures in this table are non-GAAP
measures as they are calculated using operational net income, which
excludes the impact of special items.

|
Revenue on a per unit
basis at which capacity is expected to be sold to third parties,
given existing contract prices and/or auction awards
|
Average revenue per
MWh on contracted volumes
|
Revenue on a per unit
basis at which generation output reflected in contracts is expected
to be sold to third parties (including offsetting positions) at the
minimum contract prices and at forward market prices at a point in
time, given existing contract or option exercise prices based on
expected dispatch or capacity, excluding the revenue associated
with the amortization of the below-market PPA for Palisades;
revenue will fluctuate due to factors including market price
changes affecting revenue received on puts, collars and call
options, positive or negative basis differentials, option premiums
and market prices at the time of option expiration, costs to
convert firm LD to unit-contingent and other risk management
costs
|

generation output and capacity is expected to be sold given
contract terms and market prices at a point in time, including
estimates for market price changes affecting revenue received on
puts, collars and call options, positive or negative basis
differentials, option premiums and market prices at time of option
expiration, costs to convert Firm LD to unit-contingent and other
risk management costs, divided by total planned MWh of generation,
excluding the revenue associated with the amortization of the
Palisades below-market PPA
|
Firm LD

point (usually at a market hub not associated with a specific
asset) or settles financially on notional quantities; if a party
fails to deliver or receive energy, defaulting party must
compensate the other party as specified in the contract, a portion
of which may be capped through the use of risk management
products
