$521 million, or $2.59 per share, on an as-reported basis, and
earnings of $491 million, or
$2.44 per share, on an adjusted
basis. This compared to third quarter 2019 earnings of $365 million, or $1.82 per share, on an as-reported basis, and

$2.52 per share, on an adjusted
basis.
Summary discussions by business are below. Additional details,
including information on OCF by business, are provided in Appendix
A. An analysis of quarterly and year-to-date variances by business
is provided in Appendix B.
Business Segment Results
Utility
For third quarter 2020, the Utility business reported earnings
attributable to Entergy Corporation of $552 million, or
$2.74 per share, on both an
as-reported and an adjusted basis. This compared to third quarter
2019 earnings of $578 million, or
$2.88 per share, on both an
as-reported basis and an adjusted basis. Drivers for the
quarter included:
- lower sales volume, including the effects of COVID-19,
Hurricane Laura, and weather; and
- higher depreciation and interest expenses.
These drivers were partially offset by:
- regulatory actions at E-AR, E-LA, E-MS, and E-TX; and
- lower other O&M.
Appendix C contains additional details on Utility financial and
operating measures.
Parent & Other
For third quarter 2020, Parent & Other reported a
loss attributable to Entergy Corporation of $(61 million), or (30)
cents per share, on both an as-reported basis and an
adjusted basis. This compared to a loss of $(72 million), or (36)
cents per share, on both an as-reported and an adjusted
basis in third quarter 2019.
Entergy Wholesale Commodities
For third quarter 2020, EWC reported earnings attributable
to Entergy Corporation of
$30 million, or 15 cents per share, on an as-reported basis. This
compared to a third quarter 2019 loss of $(141 million), or (70)
cents per share, on an as-reported basis. Drivers for the
quarter included:
- lower asset write-offs and impairments;
- higher gains on decommissioning trust funds;
- lower other O&M expense due to the shutdown of Indian Point
2; and
- lower depreciation expenses.
These drivers were partially offset by lower revenue due to the
shutdown of Indian Point 2.
Appendix D contains additional details on EWC financial and
operating measures, including a reconciliation for non-GAAP EWC
adjusted EBITDA.
Earnings Per Share Guidance
Entergy narrowed its 2020 adjusted EPS guidance to a range of
$5.60 to $5.70 from $5.45 to
$5.75. See webcast presentation
slides for additional details.
The company has provided 2020 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. One such
adjustment will be the exclusion of EWC earnings from Entergy
adjusted EPS. We currently estimate that the contribution of EWC to
Entergy's as-reported EPS will be approximately (30) cents in 2020. These estimates are subject
to substantial uncertainty due to, among other things, the
potential effects of exiting the EWC business.

a.m. Central Time on Wednesday, October 28, 2020, to discuss

primarily in electric power production and retail distribution
operations. Entergy owns and operates power plants with
approximately 30,000 megawatts of electric generating capacity,
including 8,000 megawatts of nuclear power. Entergy delivers
electricity to 2.9 million utility customers in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. Entergy has annual revenues of
$11 billion and approximately 13,600
employees.
Entergy Corporation's common stock is listed on the New York
Stock Exchange and NYSE Chicago under the symbol "ETR."
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 slide presentation. Both documents are available on
Entergy's Investor Relations website at
www.entergy.com/investor_relations.
Entergy maintains a web page as part of its Investor Relations
website, entitled Regulatory and Other Information, which
provides investors with key updates of 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," including the removal of the Entergy Wholesale
Commodities segment in light of the company's decision to exit the
merchant power business. 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 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 ROIC; 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; 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, other financial measures including net income
(or earnings), adjusted for preferred dividends and tax-effected
interest expense; ROIC; and ROE are included on both an adjusted
and an as-reported basis. In each case, the metrics defined as
"adjusted" (other than EWC's adjusted EBITDA) excludes 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.

OCF decreased quarter-over-quarter due primarily to lower
collections from Utility customers, due in part to COVID-19, and
higher pension funding, partially offset by a lower amount of
unprotected excess ADIT returned to customers. Intercompany income
tax payments contributed to the line of business variances.
Appendix A-3 and Appendix A-4 list adjustments by business.
Adjustments are included in as-reported earnings consistent with
GAAP but are excluded from adjusted earnings. As a result, adjusted
earnings is considered a non-GAAP measure.

Utility
operating revenue / regulatory charges, Utility
other O&M, and Utility income taxes-other exclude
$16 million, $- million, and $16 million respectively in third
quarter 2020 and $93 million, $3 million, and $96 million
respectively in third quarter 2019 for the return of unprotected
excess ADIT to customers (net effect is neutral to earnings). On a
year-to-date basis, Utility operating revenue / regulatory
charges, Utility other O&M, and Utility income
taxes-other exclude $61 million, $- million, and $61 million
respectively in 2020 and $216 million, $3 million, and $219 million
respectively in 2019 (net effect is neutral to
earnings).
|
(d)
|
EPS effect is
calculated by multiplying the pre-tax amount by the estimated
income tax rate that is expected to apply and dividing by diluted
average number of common shares outstanding for the prior period;
income taxes–other represents income tax differences other
than the tax effect of individual line items.
|
(e)
|
The third quarter and
year-to-date earnings increases were primarily driven by E-AR's
FRP; E-LA's FRP, including recovery of the LCPS; E-MS's FRP,
vegetation rider, and recovery of Choctaw; and E-TX's TCRF.
Partially offsetting was volume/weather, including the effects of
COVID-19 and Hurricane Laura as well as E-NO's rate case. The
year-to date variance also reflected recovery of the J. Wayne
Leonard Power Station, a first quarter 2019 regulatory reserve at
E-AR, and a regulatory liability for tax sharing with E-LA
customers (this partially offsets the Hurricane Isaac Act 55 income
tax item discussed in footnote r).
|
(f)
|
The third quarter and
year-to-date earnings decreases were due largely to lower revenues
from the shutdown of Indian Point 2 in April 2020. The year-to-date
variance also reflected lower revenues from the shutdown of Pilgrim
in May 2019 and lower capacity and energy prices, partially offset
by higher energy volume in the remaining EWC nuclear
fleet.
|
(g)
|
The third quarter and
year-to-date earnings increases from lower Utility other
O&M were due primarily to a decrease in loss provisions,
lower contract costs related to new customer initiatives, and lower
non-nuclear generation expenses related to long-term service
agreements and the timing and scope of outages, including a delay
in planned outages as a result of COVID-19. These were partially
offset by higher compensation and benefits costs, primarily
pension. The year-to-date variance also reflected lower nuclear
generation expenses, higher nuclear insurance refunds, and higher
E-MS storm damage provisions (offset in operating
revenue).
|
(h)
|
The third quarter and
year-to-date earnings increases from lower EWC other O&M
were due largely to the shutdown of Indian Point 2 in April 2020.
The year-to-date variance also reflected the shutdown of Pilgrim in
May 2019, as well as a decrease in severance and retention
expense.
|
(i)
|
The third quarter and
year-to-date earnings increases from lower EWC asset write-offs
and impairments were due primarily to a $191 million loss
(pre-tax) on the sale of Pilgrim in third quarter 2019. The
year-to-date variance also reflected higher impairment charges in
first quarter 2019, largely refueling outage costs at Indian
Point.
|
(j)
|
The third quarter and
year-to-date earnings decreases from higher Utility depreciation
expense were due primarily to higher plant in service,
including the LCPS and Choctaw. The year-to-date variance also
reflected the J. Wayne Leonard Power Station being placed in
service in second quarter 2019, as well as higher depreciation
rates at E-MS.
|
(k)
|
The third quarter and
year-to-date earnings increases from lower EWC depreciation
expense were due primarily to the shutdown of Indian Point 2 in
April 2020. The year-to-date variance also reflected the shutdown
of Pilgrim in May 2019.
|
(l)
|
The third quarter and
year-to-date earnings decreases from lower Utility other income
(deductions)–other were due largely to changes in
decommissioning trust fund activity (based on regulatory treatment,
decommissioning-related variances are largely earnings neutral).
Lower AFUDC as a result of higher construction work in progress in
2019 also contributed.
|
(m)
|
The third quarter
earnings increase from higher EWC other income
(deductions)–other was due largely to higher gains on
decommissioning trust fund investments in 2020 as compared to 2019,
as well as a $16 million pension settlement charge in third quarter
2019 related to the exit of the EWC business. The year-to-date
earnings decrease was due largely to performance of nuclear
decommissioning trust fund investments in 2020 as compared to
2019.
|
(n)
|
The third
quarter and year-to-date earnings decreases from higher Utility
interest expense were due primarily to higher debt balances
at E-LA, E-TX, and E-MS. The year-to-date variance also reflected a
higher debt balance at E-AR.
|
(o)
|
The year-to-date
earnings increase from lower EWC decommissioning expense was
due to the sale of Pilgrim in 2019.
|
(p)
|
The year-to-date
earnings decrease from higher Utility taxes other than income
taxes was due primarily to an increase in ad valorem taxes at
E-LA.
|
(q)
|
The year-to-date
earnings increase from Parent & Other other income
(deductions)–other was due primarily to intercompany
interest.
|
(r)
|
The year-to-date
earnings increase from Utility effective income tax rate reflected
two first quarter 2020 items. A $55 million tax benefit was
recorded as a result of an IRS settlement related to Act 55
financing of Hurricane Isaac costs (partly offset by customer
sharing, recorded as a regulatory charge discussed in footnote e).
In addition, an annual tax deduction related to stock-based
compensation resulted in an income tax benefit of $22 million, $20
million greater than first quarter 2019.
|
(s)
|
The year-to-date
earnings decrease from Parent & Other effective income tax rate
was due to an increase in income tax expense of $23 million as a
result of the IRS settlement related to the Hurricane Isaac Act 55
financing (discussed in footnote r).
|
(t)
|
The year-to-date
earnings increase from EWC effective income tax rate is primarily
due to a first quarter 2019 accrual of $29 million of tax expense,
which resulted from the sale of Vermont Yankee in January
2019.
|
(u)
|
The earnings per
share impacts from share effect were due to settlement of
the equity forward (8.4 million shares settled in May
2019).

The effects of
weather were estimated using heating degree days and cooling degree
days for the billing cycles 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 third quarter 2020, billed
retail sales decreased (4.1) percent, including the impacts of
Hurricane Laura and COVID-19. Residential billed sales increased
1.6 percent and commercial billed sales decreased (7.5) percent.
Industrial billed sales volume decreased (6.7) reflecting lower
sales to existing large and small customers, partially offset by
continued growth from new/expansion customers.
