ENTERGY ACHIEVES SOLID THIRD QUARTER,
COMPETITIVE BUSINESSES CONTINUE TO DELIVER
NEW ORLEANS - Entergy Corporation announced third quarter 2001
consolidated earnings per share of $1.39, compared with $1.34 in 2000.
On an operational basis, Entergy earned $1.24 per share compared with
$1.37 in 2000, reflecting significantly milder weather in 2001. The
unusually hot weather in the third quarter of 2000 accounted for $0.17
of the earnings for that period. On a weather-adjusted basis, third
quarter 2001 results were $1.28 or 7 percent higher than one year ago.
This increase was driven by strong results at Entergy's competitive
businesses.
"The economic slowdown has not stalled our efforts to deliver superior
results," said J. Wayne Leonard, Entergy's chief executive officer.
"The investments we've made over the past three years to grow our
company are creating value for our shareholders and we continue to
maintain a sharp focus on operations in all of our businesses. We are
structured and integrated in a way that allows us to create and
capture value even in tough times, and we're on track for another
record-setting year."
Table 1 provides a comparative summary of earnings per share for the
third quarter and year-to-date 2001.

U.S. Utility
In third quarter 2001, as reported and operational utility earnings
were $0.99 per share, compared with $1.27 on an as reported basis and
$1.30 on an operational basis for the same period in 2000. The only
special item included at the utility in the comparable quarter was a
$(0.03) regulatory and reserve adjustment recorded in third quarter
2000. The decrease in earnings quarter to quarter was due primarily
to significantly less favorable weather which negatively impacted both
billed and unbilled sales. Weather in third quarter 2001 was slightly
milder than normal, while much warmer than normal weather contributed
$0.17 to earnings per share in third quarter 2000. In addition, the
continued slowdown in the economy reduced usage across some retail
customer segments.
Mild weather and reduced usage in the current period lowered
residential sales by 9 percent, compared to third quarter 2000. This
decrease was 1 percent after adjusting for weather. Commercial sales
were 3 percent lower, while the industrial sector experienced a 7
percent reduction quarter over quarter. This reduction was due to
continued weakness in the economy and to reclassifying certain
industrial customers from retail to wholesale. After removing the
impact of the reclassification, the reduction in industrial sales was
approximately 2 percent. The impact of reduced sales and net revenues
was partially offset by lower expenses in 2001. Operation and
maintenance expenses per megawatt hour generated were down 3 percent
for the quarter, in part due to lower nuclear and transition to
competition related costs.
The utility continued its focus on reliability and customer service as
evidenced by a reduction of 61 percent in the number of outage
complaints to regulators compared to third quarter 2000. Also, the
utility's twelve-month ended average outage frequency and average
outage duration decreased by 7 percent and 5 percent, respectively and
these improvements were achieved with a continuous focus on safe work
practices.
Table 2 provides a summary of the utility's key operational measures
with quarter to quarter and year-to-date comparisons.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Parent & Other
Parent & Other earnings per share were $(0.06) in third quarter 2001,
compared with $0.01 in third quarter 2000. The decrease in third
quarter 2001 was due primarily to lower income compared to third
quarter 2000 as a result of a combination of reduced cash balances and
lower short-term yields.
Competitive Businesses
On an as reported basis, the competitive businesses earned $0.46 per
share in third quarter 2001, a significant increase over the $0.06
earned in the same period of 2000. Third quarter 2001 results include
a special item of $0.15. This special reflects the gain on the sale
of the Saltend project and a reserve taken on the pending cancellation
of certain gas turbines. Excluding this special item, operational
earnings increased more than 400 percent, from $0.06 in third quarter
2000 to $0.31 in third quarter 2001.

Entergy Nuclear
Entergy Nuclear earned $0.16 per share compared to $0.03 in third
quarter 2000. The increase was due primarily to increased revenue
resulting from the addition of Indian Point 3 and FitzPatrick nuclear
units acquired in late 2000 and Indian Point 2 acquired in September
2001. EN's average capacity factor was 97.5 percent for third quarter
2001, an improvement of more than 11 percent over third quarter 2000.
EN achieved exceptional operating performance across its Northeast
portfolio during third quarter 2001.
EN's success in closing transactions and its ability to achieve
operational excellence resulted in an increase in its net MW in
operation by more than 400 percent over just one year ago. In
addition, GWh generated increased by more than 350 percent during
third quarter 2001 over the comparable period in 2000. EN's overall
performance reflects its commitment to a continuous focus on safe and
efficient operations.

Energy Commodity Services
Energy Commodity Services, the combined reporting of Entergy-Koch L.P.
and Entergy Wholesale Operations, contributed $0.30 to earnings per
share in third quarter 2001 compared to just $0.03 in the same period
last year. On an operational basis, earnings were $0.15 per share,
representing an increase of 400 percent compared to the third quarter
2000. Entergy-Koch Trading, a subsidiary of Entergy-Koch L.P.,
contributed the majority of the quarter's operational earnings due to
solid results in power trading and very strong performance in gas
trading during third quarter as evidenced by an 8 percent increase in
gas marketed.
The Gulf South pipeline also experienced increased profitability in
third quarter 2001 due primarily to a 10 percent increase in pipeline
throughput. Throughput increased during the period due primarily to
lower gas prices and the resultant switching by customers from fuel
oil back to natural gas.
Entergy Wholesale Operations recorded a $0.15 special item in third
quarter 2001. Entergy announced the sale of Saltend to Calpine
Corporation in early July 2001 and realized a gain on the transaction
of $0.20 per share. This gain was reduced by a reserve recorded in
connection with the pending cancellation of four gas turbines
previously expected to be operational in 2005.
As of the end of third quarter 2001, Entergy Wholesale Operations had
2,330 net MW in operation, an increase of 93 percent due to the start
of commercial operations of Damhead Creek and Warren Power. In
addition, MW under construction decreased by 81 percent due to the
start of commercial operations of Saltend, Damhead Creek, and Warren
Power subsequent to third quarter 2000, offset slightly by the
addition of two new projects in development.

(a) During third quarter 2001, Entergy recorded, on the Utility's
books, the impact on various revenue and expense accounts of a final
order issued by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission resolving a
rate application made by System Energy Resources. The original 1995
application requested changes in return on equity, depreciation and
decommissioning costs. During the proceedings, Entergy recorded
accounting reserves for potential refunds.
(b) Depreciation expense decreased due primarily to recording the
effects of the FERC order addressing System Energy Resources' 1995
rate application.
(c) Depreciation expense increased due to increased depreciation on
U.K. assets, Indian Point 3 and FitzPatrick as well as the additional
depreciation expense resulting from the recently completed acquisition
of Indian Point 2.
(d) Quarter and year-to-date other income (deductions) increased due
primarily to Entergy-Koch earnings. In addition, the year-to-date
variance was impacted by the difference between liquidated damages
recorded in both periods. In 2001, $0.04 in liquidated damages were
recorded for Damhead Creek, while in 2000, Saltend liquidated damages
totaled $0.10.
(e) Decommissioning expense decreased due primarily to recording the
effects of the FERC order addressing System Energy Resources' 1995
rate application.
(f) Income statement line items are tax effected at the statutory
rate. Any difference between the statutory and effective tax rate is
reflected in the "Income tax-other" line.
(g) Nuclear refueling outage expense increased due to the amortization
of this cost for Pilgrim and Indian Point 3.
(h) Net revenue decreased in third quarter and year-to-date 2001 due
primarily to significantly milder weather in 2001 vs. 2000, the impact
of the System Energy Resources' refund, and lower sales volumes
across some retail customer segments due to the sluggish economy. In
addition, milder than normal weather near the end of the quarter
impacted unbilled revenue which is included in Other for the third
quarter and year-to-date periods.

(i) Net revenue increased primarily as a result of the inclusion of
operations from the Indian Point 3 and FitzPatrick plants and Indian
Point 2, all of which totaled $0.37 and $0.94 per share respectively,
and the gain on the disposition of assets of $0.15, primarily related
to the sale of Saltend.
(j) Other operation & maintenance expense decreased for the quarter
and year-to-date periods due primarily to lower nuclear and transition
to competition costs, and lower vegetation control spending. In
addition, the year-to-date expense for 2001 was lower due to reversing
$0.07 of storm damage expenses at Entergy Arkansas to align with the
APSC's recommendations for future recovery.
(k) Other operation & maintenance expense increased due primarily to
inclusion of operations from Indian Point 2 and 3, FitzPatrick,
Saltend and Damhead Creek.
(l) Interest expense & other charges increased for the quarter and
year-to-date primarily due to recording the effects of the FERC order
addressing System Energy Resources' 1995 rate application.
(m) Interest expense & other charges increased for the quarter and
year-to-date due primarily to financing the Indian Point 3 and
FitzPatrick acquisitions and inclusion of interest expense for Saltend
and Damhead Creek, which was previously being capitalized during
construction.
(n) Other taxes expense increased due to higher property taxes
incurred for Indian Point 3 and FitzPatrick.

to-date for 2001 and 2000. Special items are those events that are

Other Performance Highlights
Entergy generated $628 million in operating cash in third quarter
2001, an increase of 5 percent compared to third quarter 2000. The
increase in quarterly operating cash is attributed primarily to
recovery of previously deferred fuel costs. The decrease in operating
cash in the year-to-date comparable periods is due primarily to lower
earnings and liquidated damages from U.K. assets, fuel expenses and
ice storm costs at the utility and merger expenses at Parent. Entergy
ended the third quarter with about $900 million of cash and cash
equivalents. The current level of cash along with significant
borrowing capacity continues to provide significant financial
flexibility to Entergy.
Net margin was 7.34 percent, its highest level since 1997. Cash
return on average investment for the twelve months ended September
2001 continued strong at 8.3 percent and return on average common
equity stayed in double digits at 10.4 percent. Net interest coverage
ended the period down from third quarter 2000, but at 4.31 times
coverage remains very strong.

(o) "Return on average common equity" is 12-months rolling net
income divided by average common equity.
(p) "Net margin - operational" is 12-months rolling net income
adjusted to exclude the impact of special items divided by 12 months
rolling revenue.
(q) "Net interest coverage" is 12-months rolling EBITDA divided by
12-months rolling net interest expense, which is gross interest less
dividend and interest income.
Earnings Review and Outlook
"Through the first three quarters of 2001 our financial results are
solidly reinforced by the performance of our competitive businesses,"
said C. John Wilder, Entergy's chief financial officer. "These
businesses have increased their contribution to operational earnings
by almost 200 percent compared to results for the first three quarters
of 2000. With one quarter remaining this year we are already within
our previously targeted earnings guidance for the full year providing
us a real opportunity to finish near the high end of our guidance
range. Our financial metrics improved again this quarter with
stronger operational net margin and return on invested capital and
another quarter of double digit return on equity, while net debt
retreated to 49 percent. We are adjusting our current guidance to
$3.10 to $3.20 per share for 2001, and reaffirming 2002 guidance at
$3.30 to $3.50, exclusive of the impact of weather in both periods."
Entergy's 2001 earnings guidance, with 2000 operational results as its
starting point, is detailed in Table 10 below. Key assumptions and
changes incorporated since guidance was last issued in July 2001 are
as follows:
- Earnings guidance is based on existing rate plans and fuel recovery
mechanisms. The utility's previous guidance range of $2.36 to $2.39 is
revised downward slightly to $2.29 to $2.31 to reflect lower revenues
resulting from continued weakness in the economy.
- More than 15 percent of earnings are expected from Entergy Nuclear
where revenue streams are tied to power purchase agreements that cover
100 percent of the megawatt hours generated. The previous guidance
range of $0.42 to $0.50 is increased to $0.50 to $0.54 to reflect
better than expected outage performance in terms of cost and duration,
and exceptional operating performance across the portfolio.
- Conservative assumptions are used to project results at Energy
Commodity Services. The previous guidance range of $0.26 to $0.34 per
share is increased to $0.37 to $0.39 per share to reflect better than
expected year-to-date results in trading.
- Parent & Other guidance is revised slightly from $(0.04) to $(0.03)
to $(0.06) to $(0.04) reflecting primarily the lower yields on cash
balances.
Table 10 provides Entergy's projection of 2001 operational earnings
per share with 2000 operational results as its data starting point.

Entergy's 2002 earnings guidance is detailed in Table 12 below. Key
assumptions and changes incorporated since guidance was last issued in
July 2001 are as follows:
- A little more than 70 percent of 2002 earnings are expected to come
from the utility. Earnings guidance is based on existing rate plans
and fuel recovery mechanisms. The utility's previous guidance range
of $2.48 to $2.51 was decreased to $2.41 to $2.45 to reflect the
impact of the lower 2001 estimates. The incremental increase expected
in 2002 is essentially unchanged over previous guidance and result
from modest operational improvements, and the full impact of the
cessation of goodwill amortization.
- About 20 percent of earnings are expected from Entergy Nuclear where
revenue streams are tied to power purchase agreements that cover 100
percent of the megawatt hours generated. The previous guidance range
of $0.56 to $0.64 was increased to $0.64 to $0.74 to reflect stronger
performance at Indian Point 2, and additional contributions from
Vermont Yankee, a 510 MW nuclear acquisition that is expected to close
in Spring 2002.
- Energy Commodity Services' 2002 earnings guidance was adjusted
slightly from $0.33 to $0.41 to $0.36 to $0.41 to reflect some
moderation but continued solid performance in the trading business.
- Parent & Other's guidance improves from the previous range of
$(0.07) to $(0. 06) to the revised range of $(0.11) to $(0.10) to
reflect revised estimates for borrowings and related interest expense,
as well as declining yields on cash balances.
Table 12 provides Entergy's projection of 2002 operational earnings
per share with the mid-point of 2001 Guidance Range as its data
starting point.

Entergy Reports Solid Third Quarter
New Orleans, La. - Entergy Corporation (NYSE:ETR) today
announced that third quarter 2001 consolidated earnings were
solid, topping Wall Street's earnings consensus for the 14th
consecutive quarter. Excluding the effects of weather, third
quarter 2001 results were 7 percent higher than the same
period in 2000 due to the continued strong performance of the
competitive nuclear and trading businesses, which are not
subject to state and local regulation.
On an operational basis, Entergy's earnings were $278.7
million, or $1.24 per share, in third quarter 2001, when
compared with $306.1 million, or $1.37 cents per share, in
the year-earlier period. Entergy experienced unusually hot
weather in the third quarter of 2000 which accounted for 17
cents of the earnings for that period.
"We have developed and are executing a strategy that can
deliver results in spite of tough economic times and mild
weather patterns," said J. Wayne Leonard, Entergy's chief
executive officer. "We've now exceeded Wall Street's earnings
consensus for 14 consecutive quarters which covers every
single quarter since we changed strategies and key management
in the second quarter of 1998."
Utility Operations
In third quarter 2001, as reported and operational utility
earnings were $223.6 million, or 99 cents per share. This
compares with $283.9 million, or $1.27 per share, in as
reported earnings, and $290.1 million, or $1.30 per share in
operational earnings for the same period in 2000. The only
special item included at the utility in either of these periods
was a $6.2 million, or 3 cents per share, regulatory and
reserves adjustment in third quarter 2000. The decrease in
earnings quarter over quarter was due in large part to
significantly milder weather in third quarter 2001, compared
with third quarter 2000, when much warmer than normal weather
contributed 17 cents to earnings per share. In addition, the
sluggish economy reduced usage and revenues across various
retail segments, particularly among industrial customers. The
earnings impact of the decrease in revenues was partially
offset by reduced operation and maintenance expense including
lower nuclear and transition to competition costs.
Competitive Non-Regulated Businesses
Earnings per share from Entergy's competitive businesses
increased by more than 400 percent over those reported a year
ago, when a one-time gain in third quarter 2001 is excluded.
On an as reported basis, the competitive businesses earned
$101.9 million, or 46 cents per share, in third quarter 2001,
compared with $13.4 million, or 6 cents per share, earned in
the same period of 2000. Third quarter 2001 earnings included
a special item of 15 cents per share, or $33.8 million,
comprised primarily of the gain recorded on the sale of the
Saltend project in the United Kingdom.
Entergy Nuclear earned $34.6 million, or 16 cents per
share, compared to $6.5 million, or 3 cents per share, in
third quarter 2000. The increased earnings were due
primarily to the addition of Indian Point 3 and FitzPatrick
nuclear units acquired in late 2000, and Indian Point 2
acquired in September 2001. In addition, exceptional
operating performance across the non-utility nuclear
portfolio contributed to strong earnings results achieved by
this business.
Energy Commodity Services contributed $67.2 million, or
30 cents, to earnings per share on an as reported basis
compared to $6.8 million, or 3 cents per share, contributed
in third quarter 2000. Included in third quarter 2001 results
was a special item of 15 cents per share, or $33.8 million.
This special item included a 20 cent gain from the sale of
the Saltend project in the United Kingdom which was reduced
by a reserve recorded in connection with the pending
cancellation of certain gas turbines previously expected to
be operational in 2005. Earnings on an operational basis
totaled $33.4 million, or 15 cents per share, and were
contributed primarily by Entergy-Koch's trading and marketing
subsidiary and the gas pipeline business.
Parent & Other
Parent & Other recorded a loss of 6 cents per share in
third quarter 2001, as compared with earnings of 1 cent per
share in third quarter 2000. The decrease in third quarter
2001 was due primarily to lower investment income as a result
of a combination of reduced cash balances and investment
yields.
Outlook
"With three quarters of the year on the books we have
already delivered financial results within our full year's
earnings guidance range," said C. John Wilder, Entergy's
chief financial officer. "The competitive businesses in
particular have performed exceptionally well and the utility
has delivered solid performance in spite of extremely mild
weather conditions. We close in on the end of the year with
optimism that 2001 will be another year of outstanding
financial results which will position us very favorably for
2002 and beyond. We are moving our current guidance for 2001
to $3.10 to $3.20 per share excluding the impact of weather,
which positions us at the top end of the previous guidance
we've shared. And we continue to see $3.30 to $3.50 in
earnings per share for the year 2002."

$10 billion, is a major global energy company engaged in
